Rebirth in America: Great Slave Owner: Chapter 112 buy painting

"Sir, what did you say? You, do you want to buy this painting?" the boss couldn't help but exclaimed.

Tangning nodded and replied, "Yes, you don't sell it?"

The boss hesitated for a moment, then replied, "It depends on how much you pay!"

Tangning thought for a moment, then stretched out **** and replied, "Twenty dollars!"

The boss shook his head without hesitation and replied, "I won't sell it for twenty dollars. I told you just now that it was left by my grandmother..."

Hearing this, Tangning almost added, "I have to add more money!", but in fact he did exactly that: "At most $30, I won't buy it any more, I originally bought it for research purposes. Let's play with color!"

"Thirty dollars won't do, at least one hundred dollars!" The boss said with a raised finger.

This time, it was Tangning's turn to leave without hesitation, "Forget it, I'm crazy for a hundred dollars to buy such an inexplicable painting?!"

Just as Tangning was walking out the door, the boss suddenly chased after him and said, "Fifty or fifty dollars, okay?"

After some haggling, Tangning finally accepted the painting for $40. When he got home, he showed off to Heidi, "Honey, what do you think of this painting?"

Heidi looked at it for a long time, then frowned and asked, "Tony, what is this painting?"

"You can't understand it, it's just right if you don't understand it, because this painting is a part of a painting, more precisely the part of the background, so you can't tell what the painting is just by looking at this painting. !" Tangning explained.

Heidi couldn't help exclaiming: "Only, only part of the background? How big is the original painting?"

"Uh, Rembrandt's "Night Watch, you know, it's probably similar to his, or even bigger!" Tangning gave an example.

Hearing Tangning's words, Heidi's mind flashed, "Isn't this also a Rembrandt painting?"

Tangning nodded and replied, "Yes, I think this should be a part of his masterpiece "The Oath of the Batavians! Speaking of which, the fate of this painting is very tragic. Originally, Rembrandt was inspired by the Amsterdam City Hall." This painting was commissioned to paint. Originally, this kind of customized painting is very good. All you need to do is to paint these historical figures tall and powerful, and hang them out to be imposing.

But no one thought that Rembrandt would actually paint the Batavia leader Corendis and others like bandits. How could this make the city hall hang out? So returned it. At that time, Rembrandt was very poor, so he cut this masterpiece into several pieces and sold them separately. This one should be one of them!

Of course, I'm just guessing. When I have a chance to go to the Royal Museum of Amsterdam, I'll take this painting for identification, because most of the painting is now hidden in this museum! "

"Going to Holland? That's great, I haven't been to Holland yet!" Heidi said happily.

Although Tangning decided to go to Amsterdam, it was definitely impossible to take it away like this, but to his surprise, one day after half a month, the housekeeper Rob suddenly reported to him, "Master, there is a fee. Sen is looking for you!"

"Fei Sen? I don't seem to know this person!" Tangning said with a frown.

But he still came to the reception room, but when he saw this Mr. Faison, he immediately thought: "You are the owner of the cafe, right?"

"That's right, it's me. I didn't expect you to remember me, Mr. Tangning!" Fei Sen replied humbly.

"Of course I remember you. The coffee there is delicious, and I even bought a painting from you!" Tangning said casually.

Hearing Tangning mentioning the painting, Fei Sen immediately looked very excited, "Mr. Tangning, just remember that painting. In fact, I came to you today for this painting!"

"What happened to that painting?" Tangning asked curiously.

"Mr. Tangning, do you remember when I told you that this painting was handed down from my grandmother?"

Tangning nodded and replied, "Yes, you did say so at the time."

"Ever since I sold that painting to you, I can't sleep well every night. As soon as I lie down, I will have a dream. In the dream, my grandmother is scolding me that I shouldn't sell this precious painting, so Mr. Tangning Could you please return this painting to me again, this is the forty dollars, and I'll give it back to you!" With that, Faison took out the forty dollars and handed it over.

Hearing Fei Sen's words, Tangning thought for a while, then refused, "Mr. Fei Sen, I think you should ask the doctor about your sleep quality. It has nothing to do with whether you buy this painting or not!"

"It must have something to do with it. I believe that as long as I buy this painting back, my grandmother will not scold me in my dreams!" Faison said eagerly.

"This view of yours is so absurd!"

After arguing for a few more words, seeing that Tangning had no intention of selling this painting at all~www.mtlnovel.com~ Fei Sen's expression changed, and he said fiercely, "Mr. Tangning, if you don't return this painting to me again. , I'm going to sue you!"

Tangning laughed dumbly, "Sue me? What are you sue me for?"

"Sue you for fraud! You clearly know that this painting is the work of Dutch master Rembrandt, but you swindled it from me for a mere $40!" Faison said angrily.

"Who told you that this painting was painted by Rembrandt?" Tangning asked with a frown.

"Don't worry about it, but you said it yourself, you won't deny it!" Faison asked.

"I do suspect that this painting is part of the Dutch painter Rembrandt's "Oath of the Batavias, but I only suspect that no one can be sure of the authenticity of this painting until it is identified at the Royal Museums of Amsterdam."

Having said this, Tangning changed her words and said, "But regardless of whether this painting is Rembrandt's work or not, now this painting is mine and has nothing to do with you, Mr. Faison, so please You leave immediately, and you are not allowed to entangle me with this matter in the future, or even if you don't sue me, I will call the police!"

After finishing speaking, Tangning called Tim and Adrian, who were in charge of the manor's defense, to kick Fei Sen out, but when he was being carried away, Fei Sen still shouted, "Tangning, I will definitely sue you. , I will definitely take my painting back!"

At this time, Heidi had heard the sound and came over. Tangning explained the matter to her and asked, "Who have you told this story? Who did Fei Sen know that this painting might be Lun? Brown's?"

I saw Heidi replied embarrassedly: "Uh, actually, I have told many people about this..."
