Chapter 471 Going around, back to square one

  Vergil, apart from confirming that the maid in the painting really has a V-shaped pattern in the eyes of the maid, which is the same as all the imitations of Vivienti.

   is a museum in East Germany that allows people to see their paintings, but it is absolutely impossible for them, experts in the capital world, to do various tests.

  The testing of marinade, oil paint, canvas, etc., is not done in a vacuum.

   But it will inevitably scrape off a little bit.

  For a state-owned museum, no one dares to make that decision without the above order.

  But if Henry Lee, or even the English official, made representations, it’s really not impossible.

  Not to mention that the painting is really worth 8 million pounds.

  This era is more valuable than it, and the oil paintings that have appeared in the market are counted as if they were the oil paintings of real masters.

  No, even some masters' paintings, if the size is not enough, or for other reasons, the price is actually not as high as people think.

  I miscalculated.

  Vilgil thought silently in his heart that he was probably really affected by the price.

  Or in the past two decades, although there have been occasional rounds, but the target oil painting has not been bought.

  But the unfavorable record in the art industry really makes me complacent and proud.

  Otherwise, they will not take the initiative to establish relationships and bring the God-armed sword to Paris for auction.

  Several decades of work and life experience made Virgil feel that he might need to prepare for the worst when it comes to time.

  Thinking for a long time, excluding a personal choice, and finally found sadly that no one can trust me at all.

  Finally, after thinking about it, he thought of Billy again.

  But at this time, will Bill have thoughts that he shouldn’t have because his position in the appraisal industry is not guaranteed?

   "Knocking."

   A knock on the door sounded.

  Vergil said irritably, "Come in".

  I saw the assistant Auguste, who had served me for more than 20 years and was almost 60 years old, and walked in with an envelope.

   "Sir, this is Frank's resignation letter."

   Virgil accepted the letter, and sneered before opening it, "That idiot finally understood that he was doing useless work."

  August looked at his boss helplessly.

  Speaking of which, Virgil has a clear distinction between public and private, and he never deducts employees’ wages, nor does he allow employees to do anything outside of work.

  But he speaks too harshly, and besides sleeping, he always wears a pair of gloves wherever he goes, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter.

   Suddenly people put him in a different category, and there is no friend at all.

  August silently lowered his head, intending to put Virgil's next acrimonious words in his left ear and right ear out.

  However, he did not expect that after reading the letter, his boss would become silent.

"boss?"

"Oh it's all right".

  After reading Frank's letter, Virgil didn't care about the cynicism, or even cursing words in Frank's letter.

  On the contrary, he was surprised that he actually belittled the art appraisal industry, and wanted to transfer to the Department of Finance of Columbia University in New York.

  The first thought was that **** kid. Could it be that he was hit too hard by himself, and then he gave up art and switched to studying the stinky finances?

   scolded Frank as a real idiot again in his heart, and was about to agree directly, and wrote a mocking letter in reply to Frank.

  But before he had time to write, it suddenly occurred to him that the kid should have been discouraged at this time.

  If you suddenly agree to accept him as a student, can you get him a great favor?

  When you are slandered or ridiculed by others, pretend to be discouraged.

   told him that he wanted to retire, and also moved to Switzerland to enjoy his old age, and used his best to teach him identification knowledge, and asked him to transport some furniture with oil paintings to Switzerland.

  It should not be difficult, but at the same time, can you avoid other people's eyeliner?

   Thinking of this, Virgil said that he would contact Frank and ask the assistant to leave.

   Stand up and walk to the window, hiding behind the wall and secretly looking at the street to see if the annoying reporters are still there.

  After a few glances, he cursed an **** in his heart.

  Not only is the number of reporters not small, but it is several times more than it was at noon.

  Damn bald Francis, after this time, the **** he must have been unable to gain a foothold in the art industry.

  As for what Li Changheng told reporters, what Annie saw that there was something wrong with the "Lady Picture".

  Vergil didn't believe a word.

  The reason is very simple. He knew Annie early in the morning, and he was also familiar with the royal art consultants.

  In other words, Anne’s level of art appreciation cannot escape the eyes of the royal advisers.

  Plus these authoritative appraisers, every six months a year, they will talk to each other on the phone because of some restoration projects, or the appearance of famous paintings and master paintings.

  Discuss how to repair murals, damaged oil paintings, or the authenticity of paintings.

  Even last year, he and two consultants of the royal family, because of the restoration of Howard Manor, went to Yorkshire to discuss the restoration of the manor’s murals.

  Since it is about Annie and that Henry-Lee, they are working together again, of course they will talk to them when they chat in their free time.

  Professor Anthony said at the time that it was in the last one or two years that Anne began to concentrate on learning oil painting knowledge because Henry Lee liked to collect cultural relics from the celestial dynasty and bought several master oil paintings from aristocrats.

   Therefore, Virgil does not think that a young girl who started studying seriously at the age of 18 or 9, even if she has been influenced by the environment since she was a child, it is impossible to see the problem of the "Lady Picture" with her eyes in a year or two.

  Not to mention, I am the auctioneer at the auction the day before yesterday.

  The facial expressions and even the actions of Annie and Henry Lee at the time are clearly visible.

  Recalling carefully for a while again, Virgil was convinced that when "Lady Picture" was carried on the display stage ~lightnovelpub.net~Henry-Lee had never communicated with Annie at that time.

   When Annie looked at the painting, there were no doubts, surprises, etc. in her eyes or expressions.

  It was Henry Lee who only took a few glances. After listening to his own auctioneer’s introduction to the painting and quoted the reserve price of £20,000, he directly took the bidding card from Annie.

In one fell swoop of the    sign, he shouted 100,000 pounds, then looked back at Francis's **** bald head.

  In other words, what Henry Lee said to reporters today was probably just for French reporters.

   Then told the French through the media.

The purpose of    is nothing more than to avoid being hated by more people.

  As for why he dared to say that "Lady Picture" is authentic.

  Vergil directly attributed the reason to the royal art consultant.

  The painting was shipped back to London yesterday, based on the relationship between Anne and Henry, plus their relationship with the royal family.

  There are news reports. Royal consultants will go and take a look at the artwork. It is normal.
