Chapter 683 Suspected First Draft
Li Mo glanced at the calm Franka, then at the expectant Ruth, shook his head and said, "Mr. Franka, if you ask such a price, I will doubt your professionalism."

Sure enough, Franke showed a trace of uneasiness on his face.

"Well, let's be friends, and I'll buy it for $[-]."

Franke and his daughter looked at each other, and the latter immediately said, "Let's take a step back, $[-]."

Li Mo hesitated, as if he was considering the gains and losses, and finally made up his mind: "Okay, the price will be based on Miss Ruth. Mr. Franka, I need a lot of help from now on."

What he conveyed to Franka was that now that I bought this painting for $[-], I will need him to bring me into the underground trading market in the future, and I hope to have a happy cooperation.

"Thank you, Mr. Qin, for your generosity. I am very grateful." Both father and daughter stood up and bowed slightly to Li Mo. The $[-] payment was too timely for them. Take a breath for now, otherwise once the official declares that they are bankrupt, the end will be quite miserable.

"Mr. Franke, aren't we friends now? Between friends, why bother to thank you?"

"What Mr. Qin said is that we set off at three o'clock in the afternoon. You can take a good rest first. Ruth and I will say goodbye first."

After finishing the payment in May, Franke and his daughter left the room happily.

"Mr. Qin, that American guy just wanted to curry favor with you. Even if you don't buy this fake, he will still take care of you. Why do you need to spend another 50 million Huaxia coins to win you over?" What about him?"

Xingkong also nodded, there is absolutely no need to pay the money.

Li Mo leaned on the back of the sofa, glanced at them and said indifferently: "How do you think this painting is a fake?"

"It's not what you've been talking about, isn't it?" Wu Yue was a little speechless.

"Xingkong, you should immediately contact experts Huang and Chen from the Palace Museum, expert Zhou from the Kyoto Museum, and expert Yu from the Kyoto Museum of Art, and ask them to return to the hotel to meet me immediately, and tell them that I found a suspected painting. The authentic work handed down by Zhan Ziqian in the Sui Dynasty needs their help to contact and appraise it."

Xingkong nodded immediately. They all knew Li Mo's real identity. He is the top treasure appraiser in China and the biggest collector in history. If he said it was authentic, it would be fine.

About 10 minutes later, the four experts who hurried back all walked into Li Mo's room.

"Expert Qin, where is the authentic painting of Zhan Ziqian you mentioned?"

"That's right, take it out and let's have a look together. It's really unexpected that Zhan Ziqian has a second handed down work."

"We were guessing what the painting was about on the way back, so curious."

"On the table, you have to control your emotions when you watch it later."

The main field of research of the four great experts is ancient calligraphy and painting. They all put on clean gloves and spread out the painting again.

"It's a painting on silk, huh!" Expert Huang was taken aback for a moment, and then moved his head to look at it.

"Strange, so strange."

"Isn't this "Spring Outing"?"

"Could it be an imitation? No, this kind of artistic conception is too deep, weird."

The four experts in calligraphy and painting appraisal made voices of surprise while appreciating them. They had already taken out the magnifying glass to observe carefully, and they were still discussing some details, expressing their own opinions respectively.

Li Mo didn't bother with it either, and after half an hour, Expert Huang looked at Li Mo who was sitting on the sofa and eating fruit leisurely, and said, "Expert Qin, what is your conclusion about this "Picture of Outing in Spring"?"

"The first draft of the authentic work of Zhan Ziqian's "You Chun Tu" in the Sui Dynasty."

"First draft?"

The four experts were stunned when they heard this conclusion, and then looked at each other. This conclusion seemed very convincing.

"Expert Qin, we have never doubted your appraisal ability. The four of us were also discussing the essence of this painting just now. Whether it is the overall layout or the concept, it is very profound. The details are similar to the original painting in the Palace Museum. There are changes, but judging from mutual verification and comparison, the details of this painting are indeed a little weaker, and it is also reasonable to identify it as the first draft of "You Chun Tu."

After finishing speaking, Expert Huang picked up the magnifying glass to look carefully at each side, and couldn't help but praise.

"This is a silk book, with coloring, 43 centimeters in length and 80 centimeters in width, which is the same size as the real one in the Palace Museum. Expert Qin, we need to carefully study and appraise this painting after returning to China. If it is confirmed that it is If it is Zhan Ziqian’s authentic painting, then the significance of this painting is even greater than the authentic painting in the Forbidden City.”

"For the final appraisal of this painting, four experts are still needed to check it."

Expert Huang looked up at him and said with a smile: "Actually, we already know it in our hearts. Expert Qin, you have achieved fruitful results in the past few days in the United States. I really want to postpone the work at the Boston Museum for a while. I followed you around for a few days. What did you find yesterday, let us have another surprise."

"If you are really curious, let me tell you that all I found yesterday were porcelain. There are 55 pieces in total, one of which is a Ming Xuande cloisonne dragon pattern jar. If there are two pieces in the world, the other one is in the British Museum. , is the treasure of the town hall over there."

"Although we are not good at the field of porcelain, as long as you say it is a rare item, we can probably determine its historical status. Forget it, let's be honest and dare to do our own work, so we won't follow you around gone."

When the four great experts left, they were still a little unsatisfied. Li Mo re-rolled the painting and put it in the painting tube, and drew five 'S' on it with a marker pen, indicating that this painting is similar to the Xuande Dragon Jar of the Ming Dynasty. Zhi Dayue Dao is an antique of the same class.

"Xing Kong, send it out immediately and safely."

"Yes, Mr. Qin."

This time the national treasure repatriation plan is too correct. In just a few days, I have found so many good things in the folks of the United States.Li Mo is full of expectations for the underground force trade fair tonight, and perhaps there will be more lost antiques from China.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, five vehicles left the hotel and headed towards the fringes of Boston.

"Mr. Qin, you can put on this body armor." Da Shan handed the prepared body armor to Li Mo, "Just in case."

"You put it on yourself, my life is very tough. I was chased and killed by so many people with guns on Ao Island, and later I survived the earthquake and tsunami in the Indian Ocean. I really can't think of anything that could threaten me. mine."

Li Mo behaved very calmly, and other people in the car fell silent. When they saw Li Mo's detailed information, they were all shocked. His life is really a thousand times more tenacious than Xiao Qiang.

"Actually, it's okay if you don't wear it. At most, you are a rich man. Compared with other rich people, you are much more low-key. But if you wear body armor, I am afraid that we will immediately become the intersection of the audience. It will even make those underground forces mistakenly think that You came prepared, as if you wanted to make trouble."

"Okay, we'll just listen to Mr. Qin. But when we get to the place, you must listen to us no matter how we arrange it. This can no longer be discussed."

"No problem, you have the final say when you get there."
