Li Du did not even know where Ferrari came from. How could he explain it to him?
However, this was not the time to ask. Jim King was obviously a smart guy. If he asked, Jim King would immediately understand that the relationship between the two parties was not good.
He continued to say vaguely, "I'll go back and talk to him."
Jim King saw that Li Du's answer was perfunctory and became a little anxious.
He rubbed his hands habitually, opened the drawer of his desk, and took out a box. He handed it to Li Du and said, "Oh, buddy, I almost forgot something. Haha, I've prepared a small gift for you. I hope it can make up for the harm our company has done to you in this matter. "
Li Du said, "You're too kind, Mr. King."
Jim King opened the box. Inside was a square piece of jade, greenish-white in color, with a red ribbon tied to the ears. It looked very beautiful.
He pushed the box in front of Li Du and said, "Take a look at this gift and see if you like it."
Li Du did not even look at the gift. He sat down and released the little bug to look for the two paintings that had interested it.
Before releasing the little bug, he was worried that Jim King might have put the two paintings somewhere else and the little bug might not be able to find them.
As it turned out, he was worried for nothing. After the little bug appeared, it immediately flew towards Jim King, passed through his fat body, and went straight for the two Van Gogh paintings behind him.
Li Du stopped it and looked at the paintings on the wall without batting an eyelid.
The painting on the left depicted a scene of the sea before a rainstorm. The waves rolled up and blew a boat, a few people scattered on the shore, and the background was a plant outlined in thick lines.
He used his ability to turn back time, and some images appeared in front of him.
The first image was of a man with an inverted triangle face sitting on the beach. His eyes were empty and slovenly, and his brows were tightly furrowed. He looked like he was in a daze.
Li Du was shocked by just looking at this portrait. This was the owner of the signature in the painting. This was the real person, one of the greatest artists of the 19th century, Vincent William Van Gogh!
Because he had a wide range of interests, he had seen many photos of art. Van Gogh's self-portraits, old photos of Van Gogh, sketches of Van Gogh, and so on.
The person who appeared now was Van Gogh!
There were also some images that were related to this painting.
Van Gogh finished the painting in one go and colored it a few more times. He seemed to be unsatisfied with the painting and then put it on the shelf.
Later on, the painting was taken away by a white man who looked very much like Van Gogh. The white man carefully decorated and protected the painting, but he didn't seem to be interested in the painting, so he put it away as well.
Later on, the painting was transferred to a castle several times. When the castle was being tidied up, the painting was inadvertently thrown away …
Judging from the video, this was not the only painting that had been thrown away. There was another painting that had been thrown away as well. It was a painting of a forest and a church.
Li Du subconsciously looked to the side. There was also such a painting. There was a church in the middle of a forest, and many people were standing around the church.
"F * ck!" He cursed in his heart.
My luck can't be that good, right? As he questioned himself in disbelief, he released the bug. Then, time turned back, and the first scene was still Van Gogh painting!
This time, Li Du couldn't pretend to be calm. He quickly recalled the bug and looked at the oil paintings on the wall.
Jim King was a smart man. He could tell from Li Du's nonchalant expression that Li Du wasn't interested in his gift.
What puzzled him was that Li Du seemed to be interested in the two fake Van Gogh paintings that he had hung on the wall.
Since the second half of the 20th century, Van Gogh's paintings had been rising in the art collection market and had been auctioned off at sky-high prices many times.
Soon, Van Gogh's paintings became the treasures of human art. Van Gogh became an unparalleled master painter. Many artists began to study his paintings, and many schools began to learn his painting techniques.
Just like that, the number of fake Van Gogh paintings on the market increased. Big collectors were proud of collecting his authentic works. Jim King also wanted to collect them, but he didn't have the ability to do so, so he could only collect fakes.
In fact, he had a complete collection of fake Van Gogh paintings. There were only 12 paintings and 22 drawings in his office, but he still had more in his collection room.
Also, he didn't just collect Van Gogh paintings. He also collected the works of other famous artists, such as Monet, Picasso, and Da Vinci.
Of course, they were all fakes.
Seeing that Li Du seemed to be interested in the oil paintings behind him, Jim King asked tentatively, "Li, do you like these two paintings?"
His voice pulled Li Du out of his shock. Li Du smiled and said, "Oh, oh, sorry, I may have forgotten myself. In fact, I also like to collect, but I've never collected oil paintings."
Thinking quickly, he found a random reason. "In the past, I was not interested in oil paintings. I've only seen these famous masters' works from photos. Now, after seeing these authentic paintings from you, I'm shocked that these paintings are so charming! "
Hearing this, Jim King nodded in realization. He said, "I see. Then you should collect oil paintings. Obviously, you have good taste and can sense the charm of oil paintings."
Li Du said, "Is that so? Then maybe I have to give it a try. "
Jim King said, "But I have to tell you, this is not an authentic Van Gogh. How could an authentic Van Gogh be preserved so well?"
Li Du was stunned. What kind of reason was that?
Looking back in time, except for Van Gogh, the subsequent owners of this painting had been very careful with it. They had protected it very carefully, which was why it could be preserved so well.
However, since Jim King thought so, Li Du could only agree. "You're right."
Jim King smiled and said, "I'm very knowledgeable about oil paintings, buddy. I've been collecting art since I was ten years old. If you like, I can share some of my experiences with you."
Next, Li Du patiently listened as Jim King began to talk about his experiences in collecting art.
He wanted to ask if Jim King was interested in selling these two paintings. Obviously, only he knew the true value of these paintings.
After talking for more than an hour, Jim King finally shut his mouth, feeling like he had not had enough.
Li Du was just about to find a reason to ask about these two paintings when Jim King said, "I can tell, buddy, that you have an extraordinary love for oil paintings. How about I give you a few oil paintings? "
