Chapter 61 [61] It’s obviously fake at first glance?
Ye Feng drove the Lykan and slowly caught up with Zhou Shuyao, and kept moving side by side with her.
"Where are you going? Should I take you there?"
Ye Feng rested his chin on the car window and smiled shamelessly.
"unnecessary."
Zhou Shuyao turned her head away and pretended to be angry.
"Really angry?"
Ye Feng asked even though he knew the answer.
"Humph!"
Zhou Shuyao ignored him and walked on her own.
Ye Feng accelerated, stopped the sports car in front of her, and then got out of the car.
"Ye Feng, who do you think I am? Do you think that by handing these apartments over to me to manage, you can do whatever you want to me?"
Zhou Shuyao was still a little angry.
"I definitely don't mean that..." Ye Feng hesitated to speak.
"Just what?" Zhou Shuyao asked.
"It's just that you are too beautiful and I can't control myself." Ye Feng gave a very reasonable explanation.
"Pfft!" Zhou Shuyao couldn't help laughing and cursed, "Slippery tongue."
Seeing her burst into laughter, Ye Feng felt relieved and walked forward to hold her hand, "Let's go, I'll treat you to a meal as an apology."
"Then I'm going to give you a good beating." Zhou Shuyao threatened fiercely.
Although it sounded like a threat, it was obvious that she had forgiven Ye Feng's rash behavior just now.
"No problem, you can choose any restaurant in Zhonghai."
Ye Feng diligently helped her open the car door.
……
Ye Feng brought Zhou Shuyao to the nearest Shangri-La Hotel.
I had heard from Shen Baitian that there was a very good star restaurant here.
Just as the two of them walked into the Shangri-La Hotel, a system prompt suddenly rang in Ye Feng's ears.
"New opportunity mission detected - complete a Sotheby's consignment mission."
"System navigation is turned on. Please move twelve meters from your current position and take the elevator to the twelfth floor..."
Ye Feng's heart moved, and he immediately pulled Zhou Shuyao towards the elevator.
When the two followed the navigation instructions and arrived at the twelfth floor, they found a huge conference hall inside.
The venue was already packed with people.
"What are they doing?" Zhou Shuyao was a little curious.
"Let's go and take a look." Ye Feng didn't explain much and immediately walked into the crowd.
At this time, I saw a middle-aged man with an elegant temperament standing on the stage and speaking loudly.
"Hello everyone, I am Chen Qiushan, the general manager of Sotheby's China. I believe you are all clear about the reason why I called you all here today."
"Sotheby's summer auction will be held next month, but unfortunately, there hasn't been a single masterpiece that can dominate the auction so far. I heard that there are many hidden talents in the collection world of Zhonghai, so I came here rashly. I hope everyone can help Sotheby's."
"If anyone's collection today can meet this standard, we at Sotheby's are willing to provide auction services free of charge and not charge a penny in commission." After listening to his speech, everyone in the venue became excited.
Sotheby's is the most famous auction house in the world.
The collections auctioned at this auction house often fetch sky-high prices.
What collector wouldn’t want to put their collection up for auction at Sotheby’s?
It’s just that Sotheby’s has a very high threshold, and ordinary collections will definitely not be appreciated by others.
The second is that the commissions they charge are very high, which makes many collectors feel distressed.
And now General Manager Chen has promised that as long as they can produce a high-quality product that can impress the audience, all commissions will be waived. They can't help but be tempted.
They all enthusiastically took their collections and waited in line.
There were several Sotheby's appraisers on the scene, carefully helping everyone with the appraisal.
Ye Feng had an idea and asked Zhou Shuyao to wait here for a while.
Then he turned around and went downstairs to get the painting "Girl with a Red Hat" from the car.
When he returned to the venue, the appraisal was still going on.
"What's that in your hand?"
Zhou Shuyao couldn't help but feel curious when she saw him holding a box.
"Wait a minute and you'll find out."
Ye Feng deliberately kept the secret and then went over to queue up and wait.
Sotheby's appraisers are very professional and the appraisal process is very fast.
Soon it was Ye Feng's turn.
When he unfolded the painting, it immediately attracted the attention of many people around him.
The lady in the red hat?
There were many people with sharp eyes present, and they naturally knew the origin of his painting.
I just don’t know whether it’s true or not.
"Little brother, your painting is obviously fake, so you'd better not join in the fun."
A middle-aged man standing behind Ye Feng acted as if he understood everything.
"How do you know it's fake?" Ye Feng asked back.
"Do I even need to ask this? Everyone knows that Girl with a Red Hat is one of Picasso's masterpieces. If it is authentic, its value is simply inestimable. How could a young man like you have a collection of this level?"
The people around him nodded after hearing his clear and logical analysis.
Every one of Picasso's works can be sold at a sky-high price.
Nowadays, if anyone has a Picasso painting, they will just wait for it to appreciate in value. How can they possibly put it up for auction?
Ye Feng ignored everyone and handed the painting directly to the Sotheby's appraiser.
The appraiser took his painting somewhat nonchalantly.
Obviously, I didn't hold out much hope.
However, when the appraiser's eyes fell on the painting, he immediately gasped.
"This……"
