Chapter 622 621. Finding out the truth (1010)
Hai Rui Group's laboratories are good at identifying ores and gemstones, but they are not good enough to identify these famous paintings or antique cultural relics, and they need to find more professional institutions.
Rogge can help him in this regard. He contacted two appraisal agencies, one is the Los Angeles Art Collection Center, and the other is the oil painting appraisal department of Christie's auction house.
"The two appraisal offices are very credible, and one of them is a national collection and the other is a private auction house. The results are more convincing. Is it okay to invite them to appraise?" Rogge asked.
Li Du said: "Of course there is no problem, I can be sure that they are genuine."
The United States has the best civilian collection atmosphere in the world, among which art collection is the top priority. The overall art appreciation ability of Americans is relatively high, and many universities offer art appreciation courses.
Under such circumstances, American intellectuals have a certain ability to appreciate world famous works of art.
After seeing the two oil paintings, Bauer looked at them carefully. After Li Du and Rogge finished communicating, he raised his head and said in surprise, ""Scheveningen Beach" and "Leaving the Nuenen Church"?"
Li Du said: "Yes, these two paintings."
Bauer said hesitantly: "As far as I know, these two paintings seem to have disappeared for many years? It is said that they were stolen?"
Li Du spread his hands and said, "I don't know how many treasures and works of art have been lost in the world. The owner would say that they were stolen, but this has nothing to do with me. These two paintings are two paintings that I got by chance not long ago."
Hearing what he said, Bauer quickly explained: "Sorry, Mr. Li, I didn't mean that."
Li Du smiled and said, "I understand. In short, I got them through legal channels. Now I want to sell them and exchange them for Hai Rui Group's shares."
Rogge immediately lifted his spirits. The group's plight had been reported by the media, and many small shareholders were anxious to sell their shares.
But rich people are not stupid, who will take over at this time? Luxury brands will not go out of business completely, because the brand itself is valuable over time.
It will not go bankrupt, it will only be acquired, but the party that acquires it will not give a reasonable price, but use the method of slaughtering people to buy shares at the lowest possible price.
In this case, it is better to quickly sell the equity and exchange it for money while the brand is not closed or acquired.
Hai Rui Group is not listed. It has many small shareholders. These shareholders are distributed all over the United States and even the world. Las Vegas is an important area. Shareholders in Arizona, Nevada and other places have direct contact with Roger.
Just like Norman, Tatiq and others, these shareholders have too little equity to have access to the board of directors and the president. They can only trouble the top leaders of the region, that is, the director.
Rogge was annoyed by them. After all, these people were shareholders. He couldn't take violent measures like he did to troublesome customers, and he had to persuade them nicely.
However, the richer people are, the more tempered they are, and he has suffered a lot during this time.
Now that Li Du came out to buy the shares of these small shareholders, it was tantamount to solving his urgent need.
To some extent, he hopes that these two paintings are genuine and can be sold at a high price more than Li Du, so that Li Du can buy as many shares as possible.
Li Du showed these two paintings, and then took them downstairs. He came this time to ask Roger for help.
Sophie was looking at a diamond earring downstairs. This earring was not big, and it was made of broken diamonds to form a butterfly wing. The two earrings were two wings. It was very beautiful.
Seeing that she liked it, Li Du said, "Please wrap it up for me."
The accompanying female foreman looked at Sophie enviously and said with a smile, "Okay, Mr. Li, just wait a moment."
In her eyes, Sophie is not only beautiful, but she is confident that she is not inferior in terms of appearance. What makes her difficult to match is temperament. Sophie's indifferent, gentle and confident temperament is very rare.
Another point is the level of finding a man. Li Du is a man of yellow race, but he is an elegant, handsome, rich and potential young man. To them, this is a diamond king.
She has worked in Hai Rui Group for five years, but she has not met such a prince charming, which makes her extremely helpless.
Sophie thought for a while, then pointed to a shining brooch in the showcase and said, "Please wrap this brooch up for me, I will pay separately."
Needless to say, this is for Li Du.
In terms of the value of gifts, brooches are more valuable. The diamonds on the earrings are very small. Such small diamonds are worthless. A pair of earrings is only 1,200 yuan, while this brooch is worth nearly 3,000 yuan.
Li Du wanted to pay the bill together, but Sophie insisted on paying for the brooch, and then helped him pin it on his chest for a try, and she thought it was good, so she pursed her lips and laughed.
Sophie's arrival brought him good luck, that night Playboy called him and said, "The eight smashed and caught, do you want to meet?"
Li Du asked, "Did the knight catch it?"
The playboy said: "Yes, they had bad luck and hid in an abandoned underground casino. If it weren't for the knight's job, they might have avoided the police."
Li Du asked again: "Did the knight ask why they kidnapped me?"
The playboy smiled wryly and said, "I asked, I asked in person, and your luck is also bad, Li, they want to take advantage of this cash auction to tie up a few people to make a fortune, and you are the one who brings the most cash." people."
From the moment they learned that the King Kong warehouse company was planning to organize a cash auction, these people planned to kidnap several wealthy people.
It was the first time for Li Du to participate, and he had some warehouses that he wanted to win, so he brought a lot of money.
Dalem, the man with the cleft lip, had been eyeing him. He had made too much limelight in Flagstaff City and Arizona, so when we met in the warehouse for the first time, Dalem recognized his identity smoothly.
Later when the auction started, Daimler noticed that he brought in the most cash, so he was firmly selected as the target.
Li Du frowned and said: "It's hard to say, Akaluo, the eight of them are very powerful. Although I escaped from them by chance, it's too lucky. The eight of them are actually masters."
"It is indeed a master," Playboy agreed with him. "In fact, after checking their identities, I think it is incredible that you can escape from them!"
He told Li Du that these eight people had all received training from the famous private security company Sanye Jungle, and the key members of this security company were all veterans of the US Delta Special Forces.
The eight people used to be members of a security team, but they made a big mistake in a mission and were expelled. This time they reunited for kidnapping Li Du.
