Chapter 673: Chapter 304 Clover
What kind of collectibles haven’t the esteemed guests present seen?
Excuse me, they really haven’t seen Picasso paintings worth tens of millions of US Dollars that often, as there is only one genuine painting in the entire world.
“This is the ink painting ‘Madonna with Garland’ from Picasso’s early period before his death? It indeed looks like it carries an artistic aura.” After a disciple of the Beggar Gang brought out the painting and placed it on the table for viewing, Tyson Foods’ major shareholder did exclaim immediately.
The Prince also took out a single-lens magnifier from his pocket and leaned in to carefully examine every inch of Picasso’s ink.
The General Sect Leader, however, felt nothing for it. After all, it was just an ink painting. He couldn’t appreciate arts like poetry and songs; in his eyes, what is true art? Explosions are art!
It is art when Schuck, in a fit of rage, carries clay explosives and charges into a hotel where politicians revel, unhesitatingly setting off the explosives, sending all that filthy muck to the skies.
“Mr. Madison, I heard that you plan to spend 100 million US Dollars to buy this painting?” the director of Poly Insurance asked in surprise: “I admit Picasso’s masterpiece is valuable, but even if it has collectible value, it shouldn’t be worth that much, right? The price of this painting should be between 50 to 60 million, and 100 million US Dollars is no small amount!”
Yet, Mr. Madison was undeterred, and he waved his hand and said: “My biggest hobby in life is throwing parties with friends I acknowledge, buying collectibles. In my eyes, this painting is very valuable, it’s the only one in the world, and missing it would mean no second chance. Of course, I and Mr. Jin are also good old friends; he definitely wouldn’t sell the painting to me for 100 million US Dollars.”
“Oh? Then why would you still spend 100 million US Dollars? Could there be another transaction involved?”
Several people were curious about this, and the Saudi Prince glanced at ivory and lion fur, feeling that the issue wasn’t with those items as his family had plenty and they weren’t worth much.
Madison went with the flow and mentioned something about Hollywood stars and the auctions held by Jehovah Priyan.
“This 100 million US Dollars, I would only need to pay up to 60 million for that painting; the remaining 40 million, in actuality, is for buying intelligence from Mr. Jin,” Madison hinted that the General Sect Leader’s intelligence network was rather strong.
Seeing the surprised expressions of those present, Madison smiled and said: “If you’re interested as well, I can information with you after the fact. Once we get those solid evidence recordings, whether in business dealings or trade competitions, we will undoubtedly have the upper hand! Even those gold-eating beasts and politicians who like to demand money from us will have to shut up.”
Hearing this, everyone became immediately interested. “There’s something ?”
“I’ve also long heard about their dealings with Hollywood stars, and many of those people should have gone to that island, right?” the owner of Mond Cold Storage expressed in surprise.
“So, what do we need to give in return to get that footage and evidence? Are you sure you can acquire real materials from the auction?”
Everyone understood Madison’s purpose; appreciating the paintings was secondary, his main goal was to leverage their influence to confront the network of the competitors, preventing them from acting rashly.
Although they knew he wanted to form an alliance, those present didn’t mind. After all, if they could get a grip on the competitors’ weaknesses and make them unable to act confidently in front of them, that would be far more rewarding than earning a few hundred million more.
“We are all old friends here, of course, I am prepared to share the evidence with you for free! I’m not like those greedy Black people, using a videotape as a chip to make money, seeking to sell it off. I don’t lack that bit of money,” Madison laughed heartily.
“Haha, Mr. Madison is indeed a renowned philanthropist, then we will wait at home for your good news!”
Everyone laughed heartily, reaching a consensus, and drank freely together.
In the next half hour, secret talks continued, and Allen Zhang also exchanged business cards and contact details with them. The effects of birch water also came into play, as the rich expressed interest in visiting local entertainment venues; the Prince stated he could treat them.
The General Sect Leader and Madison politely declined their invitation to join them, and escorted them to their cars as they left.
As they watched the departure of the wealthy consortium, the two returned to the private room, and Madison proactively took out a Swiss check for 100 million US Dollars and handed it to the General Sect Leader.
“This should represent my sincerity! The money is yours now, and this Picasso painting, as well as your intelligence report, are mine.”
Allen Zhang took the Swiss Bank check, glanced at it, and put it away, planning to ask Dave to cash it at the bank later. He called over the Beggar Gang disciples to clean up the site. Once everything settled down, he also revealed detailed contents.
“Priyan will hold an underground bonfire slave auction at Clover Ranch in the suburbs around 9:30 PM. Besides the detailed personnel list I mentioned, there will be auction items including Victoria’s female models, Colombian top models, the Giant Peak Opera House Swan Dance leader, and former South Korean girl group members…” Googlᴇ search N0v3l.Fiɾe.net
