Becoming a Rich Man from Siberia

Ye Feng frowned and asked:

"Excuse me, what do you mean by the word we Chinese like to use?"

The European suddenly looked apologetic and said in a serious London accent:

"Sorry, maybe I didn’t express myself correctly just now, my Chinese is not good enough!"

"What I want to say is that you Chinese people love to buy all kinds of artworks!"

Ye Feng wanted to argue a little bit. This guy's Chinese level might not be good enough, but his grammar was absolutely fine, and his meaning was very clear.

He was emphasizing the word"buy".

Ye Feng sneered:

"Of course, we Chinese people do not have the tradition of being robbers. Every cultural relic in our country’s collection has a provenance, and it is legitimate!"

"After all, art may be bought, but morality cannot!"

The European apologized again:

"Emm... these are all historical issues. No one does this anymore, right? Why bother with these?……"

Ye Feng was too lazy to argue with this person, so he turned around and continued to admire the transformation in front of him without paying any attention.

Who knew that the person did not leave, but continued:

"Sir, are you interested in other artworks?"

Ye Feng frowned again. He had frowned several times at this moment. It was really annoying to disturb people from watching art exhibitions!

"Don't you know that talking loudly in the exhibition hall is very rude?"

The European raised his eyebrows, spread his hands, and acted innocently:

"Of course, after all, the rules of the exhibition hall were set by my ancestors. I have no ill intentions, and I have no intention of disturbing you from watching the art exhibition. I just saw that you are interested in collecting works of art, so I want to invite you to participate in our art auction!"

Ye Feng became interested,"Oh? Auction?"

"Are you also related to the art market?"

The European smiled and took out a business card from his pocket.

The black background was gilded, and the shooting on it was very artistic.

Ye Feng took the business card and saw that it was Christie's Auction House, Director of Eastern European Art Auctions.

Richard Bowers

Oh, Ye Feng looked at him unexpectedly, this is a big boss.

Christie's auction house is the world's largest art trading company. The only auction house in the world that can match it in scale and professionalism is Sotheby's in the United States.

Christie's auction house was established in 1766. The period when our Chinese cultural relics were the largest was that era. After all, there was the Ten Perfect Old Man in power.

It is conceivable that after hundreds of years of development, this Christie's auction house will develop to what extent. Christie

's has set up offices in more than 90 major cities around the world and holds auctions regularly in 16 locations around the world. The brands are mainly rare artworks, famous watches, jewelry, cars and famous wines from all over the world.

All of them are luxury items.

The headquarters of Christie's auction house is in London. The man in front of him speaks with a standard London accent, and Ye Feng feels that there should be no problem.

Then he scanned it with the system again, and it was indeed correct.

Seeing Ye Feng holding his business card and falling into deep thought, Bowles couldn't help but smile and said:

"Sir, our auction house is taking advantage of the popularity of Master Kulvich's exhibition to hold an art auction in Moscow. Of course, there are also many antiques and other collections. If you are interested, you can come and participate."

"Oh, there are some Chinese cultural relics in this auction, I think you will like them!"

After hearing what he said, Ye Feng put away the business card and laughed:

"Haha, Mr. Powers, you Christie's are really arrogant. You are the director of the Eastern Europe region, but you don't understand Rakshasa language. It's really hard to understand!"

Powers obviously didn't expect Ye Feng to say this. In his opinion, Ye Feng would immediately express whether he would participate or not, or just say a few polite words and end it.

But Ye Feng suddenly asked such a tricky question, and he himself was a little embarrassed.

He adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses with his hand and said:

"Haha, maybe the head office has other considerations... Of course, I am very familiar with the art categories in Eastern Europe.……"

Ye Feng pointed at the painting in front of him and asked with interest:

"Then I want to test Mr. Bowles. Do you know who is painted in this painting of"Unknown Woman"?"

Bowles smiled confidently and said:

"There is no definitive conclusion in our art world on this matter, and the truth is untraceable, but the more widely circulated theory is that the person in the painting is Anna Karenina, written by the great Russian writer Leo Tolstoy."

"Because the author of this painting, Ivan Kramskoy, also painted a portrait of Leo Tolstoy. You should know this. This portrait is also collected in the art museum. You should have seen it when you came over there."

"Moreover, the painting was created in the same period as"Anna Karenina" by Mr. Leo Tolstoy."

"Of course, there is another theory that the girl in the painting is the daughter of the painter Kramskoy, but this theory is more popular than the table, and no one has verified it."

Ye Feng looked at him with praise. Although this person is a bit unscrupulous in order to do business, his artistic accomplishment is still enough.

"Your Excellency is right. These two views are indeed more mainstream in the art world now. However, my understanding is that this painting is not a portrait, but a complete creative painting."

"This painting should be describing the perfect image of a woman in the painter's mind, graceful, luxurious, and proud, so she has the expression of not wanting to be involved in the filth of the world!"

"I don't know, what do you think?"

Ye Feng put forward his own opinion, and Bowles on the opposite side brightened up after listening to Ye Feng's discussion.

Bowles felt that he had picked up a treasure today. He originally came to Master Kulwich's exhibition to take a look, but he didn't expect to meet a Chinese. He muttered in Chinese that he wanted to buy the world-famous painting"Unknown Woman". He could see that this young man must be worth a lot of money, so he invited him to the auction.

He never thought that the young man in front of him had such a high level of attainment in art!

He smiled and nodded:

"You are right, I do feel that way, otherwise why would everyone think she is beautiful?"

"Mr. Ivan Kramskoi may have invented such a perfect image and presented it in his artwork!"

Ye Feng laughed and stretched out his right hand.

"My name is Ye Feng, and I’m a farmer in Siberia now. Nice to meet you, Mr. Bowles!"

Bowles also stretched out his hand and shook hands with Ye Feng happily,"It’s nice to meet such an outstanding young man like you, Mr. Ye Feng!"

"Our Christie's auction will be held in the left side hall of the art museum the day after tomorrow. You must come and participate then!"

Ye Feng said:

"I will definitely come. If possible, I can also provide your auction house with a few modern sculptures!" said Boerschi:
