Chapter 474 Pry Open the Gap, the Beginning of the Collapse
Once the polar bear has been tested and is willing to take out his own painting, then the English people don't need to test another painting at all.
Because since the polar bears are willing to show their paintings, it means they admit that Henry's paintings are authentic.
Although it was the polar bear experts who made the conclusion, to a certain extent, the whole country endorsed this matter.
Therefore, normally, no one would doubt the credibility of a country.
But this is the time when the bald eagle and the polar bear are finally confronting each other. What they agreed to in just three days made many people suspect that there was something tricky about it.
The most direct suspicion is that Li Changheng's oil painting was brought over, and after the polar bear was tested, what was given to the Englishman was an imitation.
Even if the "Portrait of Ladies" belonging to Li Changheng is authentic, it will become a fake.
However, the second day after this suspicion appeared, it was refuted by many people.
Since the two sides are on the road to confrontation, the soft power of face is definitely much, much more important than a painting when it does not involve core interests.
If polar bears really do this, the whole capital world should be happy instead.
While breaking promises, it will definitely cause a series of harms.
Then as soon as the news from England came out, counter-reports mocking the English appeared in the polar bear newspaper the next day.
The descendants of a group of robbers, the pioneers of colonization and looting, the initiators of death and disasters to half the people of the world, etc., prove that the Anglo-Saxons are not qualified to talk about the topic of trust.
Needless to say, not everyone inside Polar Bear agrees with the comparison of oil paintings.
After all, to be honest, once Henry's painting is proved to be real, it is equivalent to helping a big capitalist earn 8 million or even more money.
In the eyes of many polar bears, this is absolutely unacceptable.
Not to mention, they kindly agreed, and the group of Anglo-Saxons actually turned to doubt their intentions.
After the English people saw the report of the polar bear, many people immediately exploded.
In just one day, a lot of negative news about polar bears appeared in the media.
Li Changheng only read a few reports, and felt that this matter could not go on like this.
Predictably, the polar bear who agreed to this exchange must be related to Kberg.
In addition to paying back to New York for letting the two of them go last time, the purpose must also be thinking about how to take the opportunity to make friends with him.
So that when something unexpected happens in the future, even if it is only 10% possible, it is still a way.
But within England and the polar bears, there are absolutely many people who hate each other.
If the trouble continues, it will be tantamount to trapping Li Changheng and Kberg in a dilemma, and they will even be targeted by their own people.
After thinking about it, he called a reporter at 10:00 a.m. that day and publicly announced that the painting "Lady" would be airlifted to West Berlin.
It is on public display at the local art museum.
As for the authenticity of this painting, it is up to the public to decide, and at the same time, it is to thank the polar bear for its support of art.
He will divide the tickets brought by the oil painting into food, which will be decided by West Berlin officials according to the situation, and donated to orphans whose parents live in East Berlin.
After listening to Li Changheng's words, the reporters present felt that this guy was really smart.
The ownership of the oil painting is still in his own hands, but the painting is not with him, which is tantamount to passing on the biggest contradictions and concerns.
In the future, no matter how the English media will target polar bears, and don't touch anything like donations at the same time, no matter what happens in the future, it will have nothing to do with him.
In addition, the money was not much, but the recipient of the donation was an orphan, and it was still decided by West Berlin itself, so he couldn't find any trouble.
After all, although the parents of those orphans were in East Berlin, they were actually from West Berlin.
You can't say that all those children in their teens have problems.
Not to mention that it is not directly giving money, but giving food.
Then this matter does not help the polar bears at all, but for the sake of the people of East Berlin, they must at least stand up and say that Henry Lee is a kind-hearted person.
The oil paintings are placed in an art museum in West Berlin. At this time, there are still visas between East and West Berlin, and there will definitely be people with polar bears going to see them first.
Then there are scholars, artists and other people who are curious to see.
As for the people in the capital world, there must be many.
As long as the first scholar thinks that the painting is suspicious, it is tantamount to prying away the authority that has been attached to Virgil for decades.
Moreover, scholars are not all appraisers, and even some experts who are not well-known will be scruples about the rules of the art market, but they only need to focus on Virgil.
The discussion about the authenticity of that painting will get out of hand.
As long as the public wants to know and likes to hear news about it, the media is Virgil's gravedigger.
After Li Changheng finished expressing his thoughts to the outside world, "Picture of Ladies" was airlifted to West Berlin at around 3 p.m. that day.
It doesn't matter whether the art museum is willing to take over this controversial oil painting.
Harry Hart, who was in charge of the escort, and eight security guards from an insurance company in England who accepted the painting at a price of 8 million pounds and insured at an annual fee of 3.6% were sent directly to the museum.
3.6 of 8 million is 288,000 pounds a year.
Not to mention hiring 8 security guards with this money, there are also 2 professional art experts in West Berlin to look after the painting.
Multiply that amount by 10, and the insurer still makes £100,000 a year.
As for the West Berlin Museum of Art, after receiving a donation of 50,000 pounds, it is stipulated that within one year, as long as the painting is still in the museum, there will be a donation of 50,000 pounds every year.
Whether this painting can be placed in the museum, there is no need for external speculation. At 6 pm that day, the person in charge of the museum said to the outside world.
They are willing to provide a public platform for a controversial oil painting, so that everyone can see it with their own eyes, and then express their views on the painting.
NIM's.
The news was sent back to their respective newspaper offices by the reporters within an hour, and it was published on the front page tomorrow morning.
Even the local London newspaper reported the news in the evening paper that day.
Countless people think that Henry Lee is not slippery, but also courageous.
Virgil in Paris had a hunch in his heart that tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow at the latest, he would be completely surrounded by reporters.
Moreover, he really didn't expect that someone would know that he had a large number of rare oil paintings in his hand.
Also sent two super soldiers to stare at him instead of those annoying reporters in the past.
Therefore, Virgil knew very well that the "Portrait of a Lady" had already experienced the media chaos and mutual criticism in England and France, and it had already been well-known in Europe.
Now I have experienced the mutual spraying of England and polar bears.
Countless media and ordinary people thought that Henry Lee was shooting himself in the foot, but they didn't expect that this guy would risk the oil painting being stolen.
Without the slightest hesitation, he put the oil painting in West Berlin, a place completely surrounded by East Germany.
Needless to say, when the museum opens tomorrow, a large number of West Berliners and scholars from the capital world will fly over.
In addition, East Germany has a pass, and people with insensitive identities will definitely flock into the museum to see the painting.
