Chapter 8 Picture in Picture

The fat boss followed and looked at the picture scroll that Ye Xiu took out from the large porcelain vase where the picture scroll was placed with a puzzled expression. The copying works collected in the hands of the readers, the scroll itself is of little value.

But the fat boss looked around with his mouse eyes, and he decided to take this painting as a price, brag about it, and take as much as he can from Ye Xiu.

"Young man, this painting is the proud work of a famous contemporary painter, and it is expensive. The prerequisite for obtaining the collection placed here is to accumulate five hundred scratch-off prizes."

"Is that enough?" Ye Xiu held the scratch-off lottery winning ticket in his hand and said calmly, shaking it in front of the fat boss.

Seeing this, the fat boss smiled flatteringly and said, "Young man, are you really sure to exchange the five hundred prize money for this picture scroll in our shop?" The fat boss was afraid that Ye Xiu would go back on his word.

"True, it can't be truer." Ye Xiu replied firmly.

"Okay, there is no evidence for what you say. In order to avoid trouble in the future, we will establish a certificate today, and everyone will sign and sign. Don't worry, this is just a procedure, and the purpose is for everyone's convenience in the future." The fat boss saw Ye Xiu fell into the trap, and in order to settle the matter, he didn't give Ye Xiu a chance to go back on his word.

Under the instruction of the fat boss, the pawn shop's finances were quickly handed over to the fat boss and Ye Xiu in duplicate.

Ye Xiu looked at it and felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so he signed his name with a pen.

After the signing procedures between the two of them were completed, the knowledgeable people who watched the excitement shook their heads and sighed, feeling that Ye Xiu was worthless.

There was a pedantic old man with white beard and hair wearing reading glasses who couldn't help but mention Ye Xiu and said, "Young man, this painting of yours is just a copy, and your painting skills are still very average, so you have to make the original three-fractal shape. The value is at most a few hundred yuan, not even a penny!"

As soon as the old pedant finished speaking, the fat boss laughed complacently beside him.

Ye Xiu saw everything, and asked calmly, "Boss, do you have tweezers and blades in your store?"

"Yes, young man, what do you want these for?" The fat boss asked puzzledly, turned around and immediately ordered his men to go down to prepare.

Ye Xiu spread the painting out on the table, holding a blade in one hand and tweezers in the other, and carefully disassembled the scroll.

Everyone present was stunned by Ye Xiu's actions. Most of them thought that Ye Xiu couldn't bear to suffer from the dark loss, smashed the cans and smashed the painting in front of everyone.

The old pedant was still persuading him from the side: "Young man, don't be impulsive, just treat it as paying tuition fees, and learn a lot of wisdom."

The fat boss covered his mouth and snickered, watching Ye Xiu destroy the painting coldly.

Ye Xiu remained silent, concentrating on dismantling the picture scroll.

Five minutes passed, and Ye Xiu had almost dismantled it. Someone exclaimed, "Look, there is a painting hidden in that painting!"

Everyone immediately gathered around and pointed at Ye Xiu's unknown picture-in-picture. The fat boss stared at the new painting that Ye Xiu was about to take out with a pair of mouse eyes, which was hidden in the interlayer of the copied painting.

When Ye Xiu brought back the painting that had not seen the light of day for many years, the old scholar was the first to exclaim: "Qiu Ying's "The Picture of Pavilions on Immortal Mountains"!"

The fat owner of the pawn shop couldn't help but exclaimed "Oops", his eyes widened and his greed was evident.

Qiu Ying is one of the representative painters of the Ming Dynasty. Together with Shen Zhou, Wen Zhengming and Tang Yin, they are called "Four Masters of Ming Dynasty", "Four Masters of Wu School", and "Four Masters of Tianmen".

Qiu Ying is good at painting figures, landscapes, flowers and birds, pavilions and other subjects, with elegant painting techniques, ingenious ideas and elegant brushwork.

"The Pavilion of Immortal Mountains" is Qiu Ying's proud work in his later years, which has high artistic value and collection value.

Qiu Ying's early painting "The Thatched Cottage in the West Village" was sold at a domestic auction house for a high price of 1018.8 million yuan, and this "Pavilion on the Fairy Mountain" is the pinnacle of Qiu Ying's painting skills in his later years, and its value can be imagined.

Judging from the surprised face of the fat pawn shop owner's sauce red face, and the eyes that are about to fall out of his eyes, we can also know that this painting is definitely worth a lot.

Moreover, the whole painting is very well preserved, the quality of the painting is first-class, and it is complete and flawless.

"Young man, you can sell this painting to me, how about 200 million?" A middle-aged wealthy businessman asked immediately.

Ye Xiu didn't know the specific market value of the ancient paintings, and was taken aback by the prices quoted by the rich merchants.

You know, Ye Xiu never thought in his life that he could make a huge sum of 200 million yuan. However, Ye Xiu didn't open his eyes to the money and immediately agreed, but fell silent.

Seeing that Ye Xiu didn't talk to him, the middle-aged wealthy businessman thought that Ye Xiu thought the price was too low, so he raised the price again: "300 million!"

Every time the rich middle-aged merchant made a bid, the fat face of the pawn shop owner's fat face twitched unconsciously.

When the quotation rose to 400 million, Ye Xiu still smiled and shook his head in silence. Since someone was so eager to bid for it, it meant that the painting was worth a lot, so Ye Xiu decided to wait and see.

"Young man, like this, I personally like to collect ancient paintings very much, 500 million, if you are satisfied, I can give you a check or bank transfer right away." The middle-aged wealthy businessman raised the price again.

The fat owner of the pawnshop's face was very ugly now, and his chubby face was almost twisted into a ball. One can imagine how much suffering he was suffering in his heart at this time.

In order to be greedy for a petty bargain of five hundred yuan, this guy lost five million yuan, and anyone who changed it would be depressed to death.

The old pedant also spoke at this time, "Young man, this price is already considered very good. The price of ancient painting auction houses fluctuates too much. If I remember correctly, Qiu Ying's hand scroll of Qiuyuan Ride sold for more than 600 million yuan last year." , Excluding the handling fee and commission fee, the actual amount you get is only a little over 500 million, and it takes time and effort. Boy, I’m just giving you a reference, and the decision is still up to you.”

"Okay. 500 million, deal! Transfer the money to my bank card." Ye Xiu has learned his skills this time, so he doesn't need a check. The check cannot be cashed tonight, and the bank will open tomorrow at the earliest. work.

"No problem." The middle-aged wealthy businessman turned his head and beckoned his secretary to come over.

The secretary brought the laptop over and connected it to the power supply. The middle-aged rich businessman asked Ye Xiu to enter his bank card account number on the computer. After confirming that it was correct, the middle-aged rich businessman tapped the keyboard and mouse, and the 500 million yuan was transferred to Ye Xiu's account in real time. bank card.

Transferring funds to the same bank in the same city, the funds arrived very quickly. After a quarter of an hour, Ye Xiu received a text message on his mobile phone that the funds from his bank card had arrived.

"Boss, thank you for your gift." Ye Xiu said happily when he passed by the fat boss of the pawn shop.

The fat on Wang Dongxing's face twitched violently, he was already depressed and mad.

Ye Xiulin's words pierced into Wang Dongxing's heart like a sharp knife.

But who can be blamed for all this? As the saying goes, it is still against the sky to do evil, and you cannot live if you do evil yourself.

But Wang Dongxing didn't think so. As soon as Ye Xiu left the pawn shop, Wang Dongxing immediately ordered his most capable subordinate, Qiangzi, to express his anger and recover the economic loss for himself.
