Because of this accident, Yang Jing and Guo Xiaoxiang had a much weaker idea of sending the three paintings to Sotheby's London autumn photography.
Although these three paintings look like Yang Jing's from the flea market in the eyes of outsiders, they were suddenly invited to the police station for investigation, which still stimulated Yang Jing somewhat.
He has been a good baby since childhood. Where has he experienced such a thing? Although Sheriff Holmes was very kind to Yang Jing, it still stimulated Yang Jing to some extent.
Through this, Yang Jing finally understood what grandpa and Dad had always said - be low-key and don't show your wealth!
As long as Yang Jing is willing, Sotheby's auction house is absolutely willing to push these three paintings to the autumn auction site in London. Now even Sotheby's or Christie's can hardly get Picasso's works for auction. Now Yang Jing suddenly appeared three Picasso works here. Even if they were just sketches, they still played a great role in improving the reputation of their auction.
Unfortunately, after this incident, Yang Jing said that she was unwilling to take pictures, which made Sotheby's staff very depressed.
But not being photographed doesn't mean that the three paintings can't be sold. Under the organization of Professor Wilson, on the morning of the last Saturday in September, four dignitaries with a lot of bodyguards came to Professor Wilson's villa on the outskirts of Egham town.
These four people who look extraordinary are the guests invited by Professor Wilson. The three Picasso sketches in Yang Jing's hand will be bought by one of the four.
None of the four looks old, and the oldest is estimated to be in his forties.
But it's relieved to think about it again. After all, this is only Picasso's sketch. If Picasso's oil painting appears, I'm afraid some old men will come.
After an introduction, Yang Jing knew the identities of these four people. Indeed, they were not ordinary people.
The middle-aged man with the most momentum is from the Ortega family in Spain. His name is Mata Ortega Peres.
The one wearing a black casual suit is Francois Luton from the Luton family in France.
The one wearing a white casual suit is a second generation from Britain, whose name is William Thornton.
The last man who looked the youngest was also from England and his name was Alex bout.
After getting to know each other, the owner of Yang Jing's painting had nothing to do. The next thing was mainly Professor Wilson.
The four people invited by Professor Wilson today are bidding for these three sketches. In this process, Professor Wilson will play the role of auctioneer. Of course, 2% of the final transaction price will be the reward of Professor Wilson, and it is also the reward of Professor Wilson for providing the bidding venue.
Yang Jing and Guo Xiaoxiang are both foreigners. In places like London, if you want to invite people with enough strength to bid for these three paintings, they can't do it by themselves. Moreover, this kind of private bidding also needs a good place to hold. Therefore, after discussing with Guo Xiaoxiang, Yang Jing found Professor Wilson again.
In this country, only Professor Wilson can be trusted by Yang Jing and Guo Xiaoxiang. Especially Guo Xiaoxiang, who is a graduate student of Professor Wilson. The old professor is usually very good to fat people.
Of course, it is impossible for Professor Wilson to help for free. Foreigners are indifferent to human relations, but Professor Wilson did not embarrass Yang Jing and Guo Xiaoxiang, but asked for a reward of 2% of the transaction price.
From the identification of the three paintings to the help of others to find a lawyer, finally, the bidding was organized by Professor Wilson himself. As long as the reward of 2% of the transaction price was really small, Yang Jing readily agreed.
Then there was today's bid.
Yang Jing and fat man consciously went to the next room. There was a window between the room and the living room, so that Yang Jing and fat man could see the whole bidding process in that room.
The fat man bowed his head and fiddled with his mobile phone, while Professor Wilson began to explain the three paintings to the four clients.
Although this kind of private bidding is not as cumbersome as the formal auction procedures, the necessary procedures still have to go. For example, proving the authenticity of the three paintings to customers is also the most concerned thing of customers.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the appraisal result of the three paintings issued by me in conjunction with experts from the British Museum and the Picasso Museum in Barcelona. This result is true, effective and protected by law. Therefore, you don't have to worry about the identity of the three paintings. They are indeed from Mr. Picasso. In addition, it is an old rule that bank transfers and cheques are not accepted in this bidding , cash only... "
Professor Wilson must often participate in auctions or similar private bidding, so he is familiar with hosting this bidding. After explaining the rules and necessary things as usual, the real bidding began.
This kind of private bidding is not as strict as the requirements of the formal auction. Usually, several customers interested in the work gather together, and then the host gives a base price. These gathered customers will privately give the host their psychological price, and finally select the highest customer among these quotations to finally obtain the work.
This kind of private bidding is very popular in Europe and America. One is that this method can completely avoid tax as long as it is operated well. Another reason is that it can well protect customers' privacy. Therefore, many rich people in Europe like this way of trading.
After Professor Wilson introduced the three sketches, the next time was for the four customers to make an offer. This process takes some time. After all, hundreds of thousands or even millions of pounds are involved. These rich customers also need to think carefully.
Because these three paintings are sketches that have never appeared in the records, and these three paintings, both in size and artistry, can be regarded as middle-grade works in Picasso's sketches, Professor Wilson offered a price of ￡ 600000 for each of these three works.
Of course, these three paintings must be taken together. You can't buy only one of them. If you want to buy them, you must buy them together.
In fact, the price offered by Professor Wilson is not high. In terms of the size and artistry of the three paintings, if the three paintings are shot together, the starting price will not be less than ￡ 3 million.
At present, Picasso's works are so valuable.
It's just that Shangpai needs to pay a handling fee. More importantly, if Shangpai finally makes a deal, it needs to pay heavy taxes!
As long as this private bidding is well operated, Yang Jing can completely avoid paying up to 40% of the individual income tax to the British government.
Therefore, the starting price of this private bidding is relatively low.
