Chapter 18 PICASSO...

The first thing I did when I returned to London was naturally to deal with the three sketches of Mr. Picasso.And compared to Yang Jing, Guo Xiaoxiang seems to be more active.

In his words, my buddies have never been exposed to such high-value paintings since they were young, let alone being able to handle these three paintings with their own hands this time. This is simply a great joy in life. Just pointing at this incident and bragging!
Of course Yang Jing also wanted to sell these three sketches as soon as possible, his pockets were empty and he was flustered!
However, when Yang Jing was discussing with Fatty what to do with the three paintings, an idea suddenly popped up in his mind, asking Fatty to wait two days before releasing the news.

Picasso's paintings are definitely the most sought-after items in the current art market. Although Picasso left tens of thousands of works in his life, as long as there are Picasso paintings for sale in the market, it will definitely attract countless big shots.

Picasso's paintings are not worried about selling, so to ensure that these three paintings never go wrong before and during the sale is what the two of them must do now.

"Fatty, tomorrow you can go to the HSBC bank across the street to rent a safe. These three paintings cannot be placed here. Before they are sold, these three paintings are safest in the bank's safe."

The fat man nodded and said, "Your suggestion is very good. I'll go there and rent a safe tomorrow morning. I'll pay for it first, and you'll have to reimburse me later."

Yang Jing nodded with a smile and said, "Don't worry about that, we will have everything as soon as the painting is sold. Well, tomorrow is Sunday, and I have to go to the Greenwich Handicraft Market go."

"Damn, what time is it, are you still in the mood to go shopping in the market?" The fat man was a little dissatisfied.

Yang Jing shook his head and said, "Fatty, my intuition tells me that I have to go shopping in the market, and I have to buy something. Don't ask me why I have this idea, I don't know it is Why, but I think I have to go. I will leave the painting to you, and you will announce that we have paintings after I come back."

Hearing what Yang Jing said, the fat man said nothing more.

Early the next morning, Yang Jing started the Carnival he just bought, and drove east along the M4 highway.

Yang Jing and Fatty attended the famous Royal Holloway College in Egham, a western suburb of London.Although this university is very famous, it is still far from downtown London.Among other things, the Greenwich handicraft market that Yang Jing wanted to go to today was thirty miles away from the rental house they lived in.

Yang Jing drove for more than an hour before arriving in Greenwich.

Greenwich is a district of Greater London that grew out of an observatory.

In the middle of the seventeenth century, Britain’s great navigation industry flourished. In order to better solve the requirement of measuring longitude at sea, the then British King Charles II, the king who made the Valdy family a baron, ordered to set up a ship in the east of London. An observatory was established in the Royal Greenwich Garden on the banks of the River Thames, about 20 kilometers away from the city center in the southern suburbs, and this became the famous Greenwich Observatory.

That lonely observatory has now developed into a district in the Greater London area. Although the famous Greenwich Observatory has been relocated to Sussex County after World War II, there are still many famous scenic spots that attract a large number of people. tourists come for sightseeing.

For example, the National Maritime Museum on the south bank of the River Thames, Greenwich Park, the Royal Maritime Academy, and of course the famous Millennium Dome.

In Greenwich, in addition to these famous attractions, there is another place that is particularly attractive, and that is the Greenwich Handicraft Market.Compared with those famous attractions, this market attracts more people from London.

Yang Jing, as an "old London" who has been in London for two years, especially the old London who knows about the flea markets in Greater London, naturally knows the operation of every flea market in London.

Although the Greenwich Handicraft Market is not a flea market, it has the function of a flea market. Especially before the weekend, this handicraft market will spontaneously form a market for antiques and antiques, attracting a large number of treasure hunters. Come.

When Yang Jing came to this market, it was almost ten o'clock in the morning.

Finding a free parking space outside the market to park the car, Yang Jing strolled into the huge market with a backpack on his back.

The weather in London has been fantastic these past few days, after four days of rainy weather last week.The sun is shining brightly and the air is fresh, which makes many locals in London take advantage of the good weather to go out for shopping on the street.

After entering the market, Yang Jing realized that the people in the market were crowded shoulder to shoulder, and all kinds of bargaining voices gathered together, forming a sound wave that sounded small, but in fact it was extremely huge, wave after wave of sound Echoes in the market, so that you basically can not hear other voices.

Yang Jing has seen this kind of situation a lot. Before coming to the UK, Yang Jing was a university student in Jinling. When he was free to visit the Chaotian Palace Antique Market, the noise there was really loud.Compared with the Chaotian Palace Antique Market here, it is sprinkled with water...

In fact, Yang Jing didn't know what he wanted to buy when he came here, but his intuition told him that he should come out to buy something today.

This intuition is amazing, and Yang Jing has always trusted his intuition. For example, the ring he bought at the flea market on Meigang Road last time was actually his intuition guiding him.

After walking around the market for a long time, Yang Jing kept trying to see if he could absorb the precious energy from the antiques to increase the energy of the ring, but it was a pity that there were obviously many treasures with wide open doors who could use it , the left hand also felt the vigorous energy contained in those antiques, but it just couldn't absorb it.

This situation is similar to that encountered in Cardiff Castle that day.

In such a situation, Yang Jing had to think about it.

"It seems that if you want to absorb the precious energy in Wenwan antiques, there should be another condition that has not been met, otherwise the precious energy should have been absorbed by the ring long ago. But what is the condition?"

Depressed Yang Jing pondered for nearly two hours, until he came to a shop selling paintings and was attracted by the hanging words, then decisively gave up thinking about this unsolvable mystery that had troubled him for many days.

There are many merchants in the Greenwich handicraft market that specialize in the business of modern handicrafts, just like this shop that specializes in selling paintings is specialized in selling some modern paintings.Of course, these paintings are basically modern prints. Customers can spend a little money to buy a few pictures that look pretty good, and hang them at home or in the study room, which can add some style to some extent.

Yang Jing's attention was attracted by the sketches hanging outside the shop. These sketches were not printed, but most of them were drawn by students from the nearby art college.These students will send their paintings to these merchants for consignment, earning some extra money to subsidize their living.

The sketches that attracted Yang Jing were consigned paintings like this. Most of these paintings were drawn on sixteen-size white paper, and they were all sketches of furniture. The signature below the painting - PICASSO...
