If Zhuang Rui goes by what he said and takes out twelve sketches, they can be bound into at least two volumes. And according to the current market situation of Picasso's paintings, the value of these two sketch albums is at least US$40 million.

If converted into RMB, it would be about 300 million.

Judging from the current market price of Yuan blue and white porcelain in the international auction market, the value of this Guiguzi Xiashan porcelain jar should be around 100 million RMB, while the fish pattern jar is much lower, at most around 20 million RMB.

, such a comparison, even with the addition of seven or eight other pieces of porcelain, Ezkena still seems to have an advantage.

More importantly, the Picasso works in Zhuang Rui's hands are different from these Chinese porcelains. Chinese works of art often fail to sell at international auctions.

But Ezkenna knew that if Zhuang Rui put Picasso's sketches at auction, he might not be able to pocket them even if he spent 40 million US dollars.

"Zhuang, as you said, we are friends. I think this deal between us can be concluded..."

Ezkenna was much more familiar with the prices of these items at international auctions than Zhuang Rui. In terms of price, if he did not count the porcelain he promised to give to Zhuang Rui, he still had an advantage.

Although Ezkenna has received the news that some people have been preparing to hype up Chinese porcelain in recent years, the hype hasn't started yet. Ezkenna's current intention is to get Picasso's works in his hands first.

In order to prevent Zhuang Rui from going back on his word, Ezkenna immediately said: "As a friend, dear Zhuang, I have decided to donate another 200 pieces of Chinese porcelain to enrich your upcoming museum. I hope you can accept it..."

"200 pieces?"

Zhuang Rui laughed when he heard this, stretched out his hand to Ezkenna, and said: "Thank you, I think you will definitely become my good friend. When my museum opens, I hope you can attend..."

"Definitely, I have longed for the beautiful and mysterious China for a long time..."

Ezkenna held Zhuang Rui's hand, and the two looked at each other and laughed. As for what they were thinking in their hearts, only God knows.

To be fair, it is impossible to say who lost or gained in this transaction. The porcelain selected by Zhuang Rui are all high-quality Chinese porcelain. They are extremely rare at home and abroad, and the prices have been rising over the years.

However, the Picasso sketches produced by Zhuang Rui are equally precious and sought after by many international collectors. They are also value-added works of art. As for what will be more important in the future, no one can tell now.

As for the 200 pieces of Chinese porcelain that Ezkenna took out, he has not seen the actual objects, and it is difficult for Zhuang Rui to evaluate their value. However, as far as the collection of Ezkenna is concerned, it seems that he wants to find something wrong.

They are all relatively difficult.

"Boss, you have to reimburse me for my traveling back and forth..."

In the hotel where Zhuang Rui stayed, Huangfu Yun was munching on an apple. He had been very busy these two days. After returning to New York, he immediately packed up all the collections in New York and mailed them back to China.

, and then went to a law firm to resign. All of this took only one day's work.

For his own choice, Huangfu Yun also suffered heavy losses. Several orders he had in hand had to be handed over to others, and several consulting positions arranged by the law firm were also cancelled. It can be said that he left the house.

.

"Haha, brother Huangfu, after a while, you will definitely be proud of your choice..."

Zhuang Rui laughed when he heard this. He could imagine what kind of impact and impact this collection would have on China's antique world after it appeared in his museum. Of course, all of this must be based on the opening of the museum.

Up.

"Why did I just believe your empty promise..."

Huangfu Yun muttered, took out an agreement from his bag, handed it to Zhuang Rui, and said: "The number of transaction items is blank. Can you see what else needs to be changed? If not

If so, fill in the name of the item you and Ezkenna exchanged, and you can proceed with the transaction..."

This agreement was drawn up by Huangfu Yun on the plane. Zhuang Rui took a brief look at it, nodded and said, "Okay, let's go to Ezkenna's castle in the afternoon..."

Yesterday, Zhuang Rui did not accept Ezkenna's invitation to live in his castle, mainly because he felt that the place was a little too remote and there might really be vampires at night.

"Zhuang, dear friend, I'm really happy to see you. You Chinese people all talk about holding candles and talking at night. It would be better if you didn't go back yesterday..."

The same Rolls-Royce picked up Zhuang Rui and others at the hotel. When they arrived at Ezkenna's castle, the British gentleman was already waiting at the door.

"Haha, when I have the opportunity in the future, when you go to Beijing, I will definitely do my best to serve as a landlord..."

Zhuang Rui laughed and said, "Brother, if you don't hug your wife, why are you having a candlelit night talk with a foreign devil like you at night? Isn't that sick?"

After entering the hall of the castle, Zhuang Rui found that Mr. Sterling, with whom he had some disagreements, was in the living room. There were also two people, a man and a woman. Judging from the clothes they were wearing, they should be government workers.

.

"Zhuang, these two are Alice and Gasper from the London Notary Office. They will notarize our transaction..."

Sure enough, Ezkenna's introduction confirmed Zhuang Rui's idea. The two notaries stood up and bowed slightly to Zhuang Rui and others with curious eyes.

Although Alice and Gasper don't know the origin of Zhuang Rui, it must be not easy for someone to trade with a rich man like Ezkena.

After Zhuang Rui returned the favor to the two of them, he looked at Ezkenner, handed over a drawing board folder, and said: "Mr. Picasso's 12 sketches are here. Ezkenner, you can ask Mr. Sterling to

Identified..."

After Ezkenna took the things, he laughed and said: "Zhuang, I had people sort out the porcelain you asked for yesterday. You can take a look first..."

Ezkena raised his hand, and more than 10 people placed some cardboard boxes of different sizes on the floor in front of Zhuang Rui.

"Zhuang, the porcelain I promised to give you has been placed on the truck outside and can be delivered to you at the airport at any time. If you need to check it, there is no problem..."

Zhuang Rui told Ezkenna yesterday that he would leave London today, and these porcelains on the ground are the ones that Zhuang Rui values ​​the most and are also the most valuable, so Ezkenna said this.

.

"Mr. Ezkenna, I have always trusted my friends. There is no need to check..."

Zhuang Rui smiled and waved his hand. Before the porcelain was put down, Zhuang Rui had already verified it with his spiritual energy. It was indeed the two pieces of Yuan blue and white porcelain and Song and Ming porcelain. Ezkenna did not cheat.

As for the truck containing the other porcelain, it was parked at the entrance of the castle and was within the range of Zhuang Rui's aura. Although Zhuang Rui did not check them one by one, the aura inside showed that they were all genuine.

"Boss, yes, it is indeed the original work of Mr. Picasso..."

Eliminating Zhuang Rui's inspection process, Sterling did not take long to authenticate Picasso's works. After more than 10 minutes, he had already identified the authenticity.

After Zhuang Rui and Ezkenna signed the agreement respectively, two notaries issued a notarial certificate. The transaction, involving items worth hundreds of millions of dollars, was completed quietly.

"Mr. Ezkenna, Beijing welcomes you!"
Chapter completed!
