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 seemed to be more active.

In his words, my buddy has never been exposed to paintings of such high value since he was a child, let alone being able to handle these three paintings by himself this time. This is simply a great joy in life. Maybe he will brag about this for the rest of his life!

Of course, Yang Jing also wanted to sell these three sketches as soon as possible, and his pocket was empty and poor!

However, when Yang Jing was discussing with the fat man how to deal with these three paintings, he didn't know why a thought suddenly came to his mind, asking the fat man to wait for two days before posting the message to the outside world.

Picasso's paintings are definitely the most popular thing in the art market at present. Although Picasso's paintings are left with tens of thousands of works in his lifetime, as long as Picasso's paintings are reported on the market, they will definitely attract countless big names.

Picasso's paintings are not worried about selling, so it is necessary to ensure that these three paintings must not have any problems before and during the sale process.

"Fatty, tomorrow you go to HSBC Bank across the street to rent a safe. These three paintings cannot be placed here. Before selling them, these three paintings are the safest to be placed in the safe in the bank."

The fat man nodded and said, "Your proposal is very good. I will rent a safe there tomorrow morning. I will put the money on first, and you will have to reimburse me if you look back."

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

"Damn, when is it now? Do you still have the intention to go out and visit 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 why, but I think I have to go. I will leave the painting to you. When I come back, you will post the news that we have paintings in our hands."

After hearing Yang Jing say this, the fat man stopped saying anything.

Early the next morning, Yang Jing started the carnival he had just bought and drove east along the M4 expressway.

The school where Yang Jing and Fatty are studying in Egham, western suburbs of London, is the famous Royal Holloway College. Although this university is very famous, it is still far from central London. Not to mention anything else, the Greenwich Handicraft Market that Yang Jing wants to go to today is thirty miles away from the rental house where they live.

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

Greenwich is a district in Greater London that developed from an observatory.

In the mid-17th century, Britain's great maritime industry flourished. In order to better solve the requirement of measuring longitude at sea, King Charles II of England at that time, the king who named the Valdy family the baron, ordered the establishment of an observatory in the Royal Greenwich Gardens on the Thames, about twenty kilometers southeast of London, which was the famous Greenwich Observatory.

The lonely observatory back then has now developed into a district in Greater London. Although the famous Greenwich Observatory had moved to Sussax County after World War II, there are still many famous scenic spots here that attract a large number of tourists to visit.

For example, the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich Park, Royal Sea College on the Thames HN shore are also indispensable.

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

As an "old London" who has been to London for two years, especially for the old London, which is home to Qinger, the major flea markets in Greater London, he naturally knows the operation of each flea market in London.

Although the Greenwich Handicraft Market does not have a name flea market, it shoulders the function of a flea market. Especially before the weekend, this handicraft market will spontaneously form a cultural and antique market, attracting a large number of Taobao users.

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

I found a free parking space outside the market to park my car. Yang Jing walked into this huge market with his backpack on his backpack.

After four consecutive days of rainy weather last week, the weather in London has been great these days. The sun is shining brightly and the air is fresh, which has also allowed many locals in London to take advantage of this good weather to go out for the streets.

After entering the market, Yang Jing realized that the people in the market were already standing shoulder to shoulder, and various bargaining voices gathered together, forming a sound that seemed not loud but was actually extremely huge. The waves of sound echoed in the market, making you basically unable to hear other sounds.

Yang Jing has seen many such situations. Before coming to the UK, Yang Jing went to college in Jinling. When he was fine, he was just a big noise. Compared with Chaotiangong Antique Market, here is full of water...

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

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

After a long walk in the market, Yang Jing kept trying to see if he could absorb the treasure energy from antiques and cultural relics to increase the energy of the ring. Unfortunately, there were obviously many treasures with big doors that could be used, and he also felt the vigorous energy contained in the antiques with his left hand, but he just couldn't absorb it.

This is like the situation encountered in Cardiff Castle that day.

If such a situation occurs, Yang Jing has to consider it.

"It seems that if you want to absorb the treasure qi in cultural and antiques, there should be another condition that has not been met, otherwise those treasure qi should have been absorbed by the ring long ago. But what are the conditions?"

The depressed Yang Jing thought about it for nearly two hours until he walked to a shop selling paintings and was attracted by the words hanging up. Then he decisively gave up thinking about this unsolvable mystery that had troubled him for many days.

There are many businesses in the Greenwich handicraft market that specializes in modern handicraft business, just like this shop that specializes in paintings, which specializes in taking out some modern paintings. Of course, these paintings are basically modern prints, and customers can spend a very small amount of money to buy a few pretty good paintings, and hang them in their homes or study rooms, which can add some style.

Yang Jing's attention was attracted by the sketches hanging outside the shop. These sketches were not printed, but most of them were painted by students from nearby art colleges. These students would hand over their works to these merchants to consign and earn extra money to subsidize their lives.

The sketches that attracted Yang Jing were sold in this way. Most of these paintings were drawn on white paper of sixteen-sized size, and they were all furniture sketches. The most important thing is that the guy who painted these paintings actually signed the name under the painting - PICASSO...
