62 Authentic Work! A Sensation At the Scene!
The people in line saw the appraiser's strange expression and gathered around.
"Is this painting real or fake?"
The middle-aged man who had just concluded that Ye Feng's painting was an imitation hurriedly asked.
The appraiser wiped the sweat from his forehead and quickly gathered the other appraisers.
The few of them surrounded the painting and looked at it for a long time, their expressions becoming more and more serious.
"It's really the authentic work of Picasso!"
After a while, one of the appraisers shouted.
As soon as he said this, the originally chaotic venue immediately became quiet.
Everyone was shocked by his words.
An authentic work of Picasso had actually appeared?
"Really? A painting by Picasso? That's priceless!"
"Where did this young man come from? We've never heard of this person in the collection world of Zhonghai City!"
"You really can't judge a book by its cover. Such a young man can actually produce an authentic work of Picasso?"
"We can't be sure that it's authentic yet, right? What if the appraisers are wrong?"
The crowd discussed animatedly. They were all somewhat bewildered.
It was mainly because the news was too shocking.
Most people couldn't accept it.
At this time, Chen Qiushan, the General Manager of the China region of Sotheby's auction house, came after hearing the news.
When he saw the painting, The Girl in the Red Hat, he felt as if he was struck by lightning. He hurriedly went forward to take a closer look.
After a long while, he looked up at Ye Feng in disbelief. "Friend, where did you get this painting?"
Ye Feng frowned. "General Manager Chen, I'm afraid it's not in line with the rules for you to ask this?"
This was already considered a private matter, and it was clearly a little rash for the other party to ask this question.
Chen Qiushan came back to his senses and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I was too rash. I was just too shocked. This painting has disappeared for many years. I didn't expect it to reappear in Zhonghai City."
His words were undoubtedly the final word.
Even the general manager of the Sotheby's Auction House had confirmed that it was an authentic Picasso, so who would dare to say that it was fake?
With that, the entire venue was in an uproar.
They had undoubtedly witnessed a part of history.
One could only imagine what kind of waves would be set off in the collection world when the news of Picasso's authentic work spread.
Chen Qiushan held Ye Feng's hand in excitement.
"My friend, you must hand this painting over to our Sotheby's Auction House. The starting price of this painting is at least 500 million, and I believe the final transaction price will be far more than this."
His words once again dropped a heavy bomb in the venue.
Although everyone knew that Picasso's paintings were priceless, they had not expected them to be worth so much.
The starting price was actually 500 million?
Wasn't this a little too scary?
Zhou Shuyao, who was standing beside Ye Feng, was so shocked that she could not speak.
Even though she already knew Ye Feng's strength...
However, when he casually took out a painting that could be sold for more than 500 million, it still made her feel that it was unreal.
That was 500 million yuan!
To an ordinary person like her, it was definitely an unimaginable astronomical figure.
Out of everyone present, only Ye Feng was able to remain calm, because he already knew the value of this painting.
"It's my honor to put this painting up for auction in Sotheby's."
Chen Qiushan gave him a thumbs up when he saw how calm he was.
"This friend is so young, but his heart is so calm. It's really rare! If you don't mind, let's be friends. In the future, if you need my help, just ask."
As soon as he said that, the few Sotheby's staff members behind him were shocked.
They were well aware of Chen Qiushan's background.
However, he was not as simple as the general manager of the China region of the Sotheby's Auction House.
The background behind him was extremely terrifying.
This was the first time they had seen Chen Qiushan take the initiative to befriend someone, and it was a young man.
However, Ye Feng did not know the value of this friendship. He only nodded his head lightly.
He took the initiative to give his name and then exchanged contact information.
At the same time, the system's notification sound rang in his mind again.
[Congratulations to the host for completing the destiny navigation mission! The system rewards 500 million yuan worth of investment information.]
Immediately after, the trend chart of the three stocks was reflected in his mind.
Ye Feng could not help but be shocked.
This time, the system did not reward him with real estate, sports car, or any other physical items. Instead, it gave him a trend chart of three stocks.
It was planning to let him enter the financial industry.
"Brother Ye, if it's convenient, how about I treat you to dinner tonight?"
After the consignment process was completed, Chen Qiushan took the initiative to invite him.
Ye Feng smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, I've already made an appointment to have dinner with this lady."
Then, he pointed at Zhou Shuyao.
Chen Qiushan immediately smiled, "I understand, I understand. Let's meet again when we have time."
The group of staff members behind him all looked at Ye Feng in shock.
This fellow actually rejected General Manager Chen's invitation for a woman?
He probably didn't know what this meant, right?
Zhou Shuyao, who was standing at the side, was also in disbelief.
He was the general manager of Sotheby's Auction House.
Now that he had invited Ye Feng for a meal, this guy actually refused?
Was he crazy?
Ye Feng did not care about what everyone was thinking.
He wouldn't even care if the President of the United States was trying to curry favor with him, let alone the general manager of the Sotheby's Auction House.
After saying goodbye to Chen Qiushan, he pulled Zhou Shuyao out of the venue.
Chen Qiushan looked at his back and smiled in admiration.
"Interesting!"
