when······

As the auctioneer banged the hammer, the bidding officially began. Unlike European auction houses, the scene was completely silent, and the bidders all raised their signs.

Feng Xiaomo is sitting on the second floor.

I was very happy, the base price was one hundred thousand dollars.

If he were asked to spend [-] US dollars to buy one, he would definitely not be willing to do so.

Lin Yu whispered: "Don't forget the bet."

"What bet?"

"Wash my feet."

Feng Xiaomo smiled and said: "No problem, I will wash your feet at night."

"No. 35, bid 60 million."

"No. 12, bid 65 million."

"No. 2, bid 70 million."

"70 for the first time, 70 for the second time, 70 for the third time... the transaction was completed."

Feng Xiaomo said excitedly: "70 is still US dollars."

Lin Yu rolled his eyes: "Isn't it just 70? You look like you have never seen money."

Feng Xiaomo was so angry.

Who has never seen money?
It's not like she doesn't have 70, let alone 70, even 700 million.

As the round of auction items ends, the next picture comes.

Lin Yu didn't know whose it belonged to.

It was not the paintings from the Dragon Kingdom, but the paintings from other countries. After a few rounds, it was Picasso's turn. When the masterpieces appeared at the auction.

There was an immediate commotion.

Picasso's masterpiece has never been seen before.

Now that it appears on the auction house, the wealthy people below are excited.

The auctioneer introduced: "This painting is also a painting by Picasso. It is a fine painting by Picasso. This painting is equivalent to Leonardo da Vinci's "Mona Lisa". It is called a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation. We call it " "Dark Dawn"

"This painting has never seen the light of day, has never appeared before, and does not have Picasso's pen name on it."

"However, this painting has been identified by our appraisal experts. Whether it is canvas, paint, or style, it is the same as Picasso's. It belongs to the painting of Picasso's period."

"This is definitely an authentic Picasso."

"The base price is 8000 million, and each increase must not be less than 100 million."

"Auction begins."

"No. 12, bid 8000 million"

"On the 13th, the bid is 100 million."

"On the 15th, the bid is 300 million."

······
With the fierce competition, the price has reached hundreds of millions. For ordinary people, hundreds of millions is an existence that cannot be looked up to. But for the rich, it is just pocket money. Hundreds of millions to buy a Picasso masterpiece.

This is a huge profit.

It not only has artistic value, but also has collection value.

A few years later, when the painting was auctioned again, the price would have doubled.

Competition is extremely fierce.Soon it reached [-] million US dollars, and the price continued to rise.

Auctioneer: "Three hundred and eighty million once, three hundred and eighty million twice, three hundred and eighty million for the third time. Congratulations on bidding on Picasso's masterpiece on the 8000th."

With the sound of the hammer, the auction is over.

With the auction ending at NT$8000 million.

It immediately caused a sensation in the world and was purchased by a mysterious rich man for US$8000 million.

There are various comments on the Internet.

"Oh my god, who bought this painting for $8000 million?"

"Three hundred and eighty million, Picasso's masterpiece. It is said that this painting is the same as Leonardo da Vinci's "Mona Lisa"."

"This painting is far inferior to Leonardo da Vinci's "Mona Lisa," which is said to have reached 3000 billion U.S. dollars."

"This is the most expensive painting by Picasso so far. "Dark Dawn" is really a good name."

"Why have you never heard of it?"

"It can't be fake!"

"Certainly not······"

“It can’t be a painting by Wolfgang Betterlage imitating Picasso!”

"It could be him..."

Europe
TV station

Wolfgang Betterlage is being interviewed.

The host smiled and asked: "Mr. Betterledge, a Picasso painting appeared two days ago. Many painters said that this is the essence of Picasso and his handed down work, which is comparable to Leonardo da Vinci's " "Mona Lisa", Mr. Betteredge, what do you think of this?"

Betterage nodded and said: "I have seen that painting. It is indeed a masterpiece. It does represent the peak of Picasso. Even if Picasso was alive, he would not be able to create a second one. Just like Leonardo da Vinci could not create a second one while he was alive. There is no way to create a second Mona Lisa."

Host: "Many people have questions, why are Picasso's masterpieces only appearing now? Is it possible that they are fake? Many friends even think that the painting "Dark Dawn" is your work?"

"It's not my work. All my current works are signed. If I create such a stunning painting, I will definitely sign it and I will never let go of such an opportunity."

"So that's not your work?"

"Yes."

The host asked again; "I have a question in my mind. Since it is a masterpiece handed down by Picasso, why did it appear now? Is it possible that it was copied by others?"

Betterage: "It's possible. I also went to see that painting. It was a painting by a talented master."

Host: "Then you mean to say that the "Dark Dawn" scene is fake?"

"This question must be asked about the creator. It is also possible that Picasso gave this painting to a friend, and that friend has passed it down and preserved it to this day. After all, the current identification technology is still very reliable."

"Whether it is canvas, ink, or paint, they are all products of Picasso's era, and the style also belongs to Picasso's style. It cannot be ruled out that Picasso gave it to others, and others have kept it to this day."

Host: "You mean, you can't tell whether he is genuine or not?"

Bertelage nodded and said: "Yes, I have imitated Picasso's style. That painting is beyond my reach. If it is really imitated by others, then his level has surpassed the level of Picasso. .”

"If that's the case, he must be a legendary master."

Betterage's words shocked the audience.

"Oh my god, can't even Betterlage see that?"

"Bettlage is a master of fake paintings. He has imitated many paintings. I thought they were painted by him!"

"Is it really an authentic work by Picasso?"

"It must be. It must have been given to a friend by Picasso and has been kept to this day."

"I don't know who it is?"

"It's also possible that Picasso sold it. After all, he said a lot, and many of them were unsigned."
