Because of this unexpected incident, Yang Jing and Guo Xiaoxiang's original idea of ​​sending these three paintings to the London Autumn Auction of Southby has become much less vague.

Although these three paintings seem to be bought by Yang Jing from the flea market in the eyes of outsiders, they were suddenly invited to the police station for investigation, which still made Yang Jing somewhat stimulated.

He has been a good baby since he was a child, so how could he have experienced this kind of thing? Although Sheriff Holmes is very nice to Yang Jing, this incident still stimulated Yang Jing a little.

Through this incident, Yang Jing finally understood what grandpa and dad have always said - be low-key and not show off their wealth!

As for those three sketches, as long as Yang Jing is willing, the Sosby Auction House is absolutely willing to push these three paintings to the London autumn auction site. Now even Sosby or Christie's will find it difficult to get Picasso's works to auction. Now, three Picasso's works suddenly appeared here. Even if it is just sketches, it still has a great impact on improving the reputation of their auctions.

But unfortunately, after this incident, Yang Jing said that he would not be willing to take the photo, which made Sosby's staff very depressed.

But not taking the photo does not mean that these three paintings will not be sold. Under Professor Wilson's organization, on the last Saturday morning of September, four very grand figures brought many bodyguards to Professor Wilson's villa in 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.

These four people don’t seem to be old, and the oldest one is probably in their forties.

But after thinking about it, I feel relieved. After all, this is just Picasso's sketch. If Picasso's oil painting appears, I'm afraid some old men will come.

After the introduction, Yang Jing realized the identities of these four people, and he was indeed not an ordinary person.

The middle-aged man who looked most imposing was from the Spanish Ortega family, named Marta Ortega Perez.

The one wearing a black casual suit is François Luton from the Luton family in France.

The person wearing a white casual suit was a second generation from the UK named William Thorton.

And the last man who seemed to be the youngest, also from England, was named Alex Butt.

After getting to know each other, Yang Jing, the owner of the painting, had nothing to do, and the next thing was Professor Wilson.

The four people invited by Professor Wilson today were to bid for these three sketches. In this process, Professor Wilson will serve as the auctioneer. Of course, 2% of the final transaction price will be used as Professor Wilson's reward, and Professor Wilson also provides the reward for the venue for this bidding event.

Yang Jing and Guo Xiaoxiang are both foreigners. In places like London, if they want to invite people with enough strength to bid for these three paintings, they will definitely not be able to do it. Moreover, this kind of private bidding also requires a good place to hold it. Therefore, after Yang Jing and Guo Xiaoxiang discussed it, they found Professor Wilson again.

In this country, only Professor Wilson can believe in Yang Jing and Guo Xiaoxiang. Especially Guo Xiaoxiang, he is a graduate student of Professor Wilson. This old professor is very good to fat people.

Of course, it is impossible to ask Professor Wilson to help for free. Foreigners are relatively indifferent to human feelings, but Professor Wilson did not make things difficult for Yang Jing and Guo Xiaoxiang, but only proposed a 2% compensation requirement.

From appraising these three paintings and then helping someone find a lawyer, the bidding was organized by Professor Wilson himself. The reward for the transaction price was not much, so Yang Jing agreed very readily.

Then there was today's bid.

Yang Jing and Fatty went to the next house very consciously. There was a window between the house and the living room, so that Yang Jing and Fatty could see the entire bidding process in that house.

The fat man lowered his head and fiddled with his cell phone, while Professor Wilson began to explain these three paintings to the four clients.

Although this kind of private bidding is not as complicated as a formal auction procedure, the necessary procedures still have to be done. For example, proving the authenticity of these three paintings to the customer is also the most concerned thing for customers.

"Everyone, this is the appraisal result of the three paintings issued by my experts from the British Museum and the Picasso Museum in Barcelona. This result is true and valid and protected by law, so you don't have to worry about the identities of these three paintings. They are indeed from the hands of Mr. Picasso. In addition, it is still the same rule that this bidding does not accept bank transfers and checks, but only cash..."

Professor Wilson must often participate in auctions or similar private bidding, so he is very familiar with hosting this bid. After explaining the rules and necessary things as usual, the real bidding began.

This kind of private bidding is not as strict as a formal auction requirement. Usually, several customers who are interested in the work gather together, and the host gives a reserve price. These customers who gather together will privately hand the host a psychological price, and finally select the highest customer from these quotes and finally obtain the work.

This kind of private bidding is very popular in Europe and the United States. First, this method can completely avoid taxes as long as it is operated well. Another reason is that it can protect customers' privacy well. Therefore, many wealthy people in Europe like this transaction method.

After Professor Wilson introduced these three sketches, the next time was the time period for these four customers to make the quotes. This process takes a certain amount of time. After all, it involves quotes of hundreds of thousands or even millions of pounds, and these wealthy customers also need to consider them carefully.

Because these three paintings are sketches that have never appeared in records, and in addition to the size and artistic nature of these three paintings, they can be regarded as mid-range works in Picasso's sketches, Professor Wilson offered these three works a price of 600,000 pounds per work.

Of course, these three paintings must be taken together. You cannot buy only one of them. If you want them, you must buy three paintings one by one.

The price offered by Professor Wilson is actually not high. Judging from the size and artistic nature of these three paintings, if these three paintings are taken together, the starting price will not be less than 3 million pounds.

Nowadays, Picasso's works are so valuable.

But there is a handling fee to be paid for when taking the photo. More importantly, if the sales are finally completed, it will require heavy taxes!

As long as this private bidding is done well, Yang Jing can completely avoid paying up to 40% personal income tax to the British government.
Chapter completed!
