Seeing through stones, the awakening of superpowers

Having said that, Yuan Linglong couldn't help but hit Lin Xiao in anger, wondering why she said such words.

Principal Lin never expected that the two girls would talk about such topics behind his back. He didn't know whether to be happy or unhappy.

Yuan Linglong continued:

"At first, Xiaojia wanted to get me to work out, but my family knew a master of self-cultivation, and I thought learning from him would be more effective than working out, so I asked Xiaojia to learn with me. Actually, I didn't learn much, just some breathing techniques, but the effect was really good. Not long after, I lost several pounds, and my cardiopulmonary function improved a lot. The master said that I had eliminated all the waste in my body, so my health was naturally getting better and better."

Principal Lin thought to himself that it was no wonder that Lu Xiaojia and Yuan Linglong had both lost weight; it turned out that they had learned self-cultivation from others.

Although Lin Xiao can be said to be the top master now, his strength is mainly obtained by absorbing the white light from the antiques, and he really doesn't understand these things.

However, seeing that Yuan Linglong's health has indeed improved now, one cannot help but sigh at the magic of the cultivation method.

Of course, only the practice method of a true master can have such immediate results. Ordinary people simply cannot access these methods.

Principal Lin was also very happy. Their health had improved, and he was one of the beneficiaries.

The next morning, Yuan Linglong went to work, and Lin Xiao was not idle either. He directly contacted Qian Wudao, a great professor in Beijing and a great collector. His father Qian Youde was a leading figure in the collecting world.

I met Qian Wudao by chance before, and I saw a huge amount of antiques and cultural relics at Qian Youde's place. It shouldn't be difficult to get some overseas artworks through his channels.

Qian Wudao hadn't heard from Principal Lin for a long time. He was very happy when he received Principal Lin's call. After Principal Lin stated his request, Qian Wudao quickly replied:

"It's not that difficult, but it's also easy. As long as you have enough money, you can get any artwork. It's just a matter of when do you want it?"

Principal Lin replied:

"It's definitely better as soon as possible. I'm a little anxious."

The sale and purchase procedures for Lu Xiaojia's house can be processed soon, and Principal Lin doesn't want the art issue to be delayed too long.

"If you are in a hurry, it will be difficult. You have to know that you have to contact overseas collectors first, and then negotiate the sale. The key is that you have to go through customs clearance and other procedures when shipping it back to China. If you delay, it may take a long time."

Principal Lin was a little disappointed when he heard this, but Qian Wudao quickly said:

"How about this, if you have enough money, I can help you contact some collectors in China."

Domestic collectors?

Qian Wudao then gave an explanation. The main reason was that the number of rich people in the country has increased dramatically in recent years, and many people have invested in art, including works by some famous overseas masters, so many Chinese people also have overseas art in their hands.

Hearing this, Principal Lin agreed immediately. As for money, it was not really something he considered.

I have to say that Qian Wudao is really efficient. He made a call in the morning and gave Principal Lin a reply in the afternoon. The other party is a big boss in Haicheng, so it is very convenient for Principal Lin to go there.

"Principal Lin, do you need an expert? I know you are an expert in identifying antiques in China, and your level of expertise in identifying overseas artworks should be pretty high as well."

Although Principal Lin has seen many antiques and cultural relics, he is at most a novice when it comes to identification, not to mention overseas artworks. He immediately said:

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Teacher Qian."

Principal Lin then asked about Qian Wudao's reward. He said that since Qian Wudao had helped him so much, he must show his appreciation.

Qian Wudao said it didn't matter, they were friends and there was no need to be so formal, and as long as the transaction was successful, the seller would give him a reward.

Seeing that he was sincere, Principal Lin did not refuse him any more. However, he thought to himself that he should thank him in person next time he went to Beijing.

The transaction was scheduled for the next morning. At around nine o'clock, the expert took the initiative to call Principal Lin. When they met, he really acted like an artist.

She looked to be in her thirties or forties, wearing a suit with dark patterns and a long pigtail.

It's not uncommon to see men with long hair, but this is the first time I've seen one with braided hair.

However, Principal Lin did not look down on the other party because of this. Often capable people have their own personalities, so he immediately started to communicate with the other party.

Although the other party looked unruly, he was very talkative, especially when talking about overseas art, his face lit up with joy. Principal Lin also learned a lot from listening to him.

The seller is the boss of a large company in Haicheng, with a market value of over 100 billion yuan, but no one knows how much cash he has.

His collections were all bought at the world's top auctions, so generally speaking, there are no major issues with their authenticity, but they still need to be authenticated.

When he arrived at the place designated by the big boss, Principal Lin found out that the big boss didn't come at all. He just sent one of his assistants to handle the matter.

Lin Xiao didn't care about this. Although he was very famous in the big family circle, most wealthy bosses didn't know him at all.

The assistant was a beautiful woman in her thirties, very professional and capable. She brought two works in total, both paintings, with a history of more than a hundred years, so Principal Lin saw a very strong yellow light on them.

Based on this point alone, Principal Lin felt that the work should be true.

However, if you look at these two works from a non-professional perspective, they are a bit strange and it is hard to tell what is so great about them.

At this time, the expert spoke. Out of respect for the expert, Principal Lin listened to the expert's opinions patiently.

The expert is worthy of being an expert. He not only authenticated the authenticity of the two works, but also introduced the authors and creative background of the two works.

In addition to the works, the procedures are also complete, with various auction procedures certificates and collection records all present.

This is also the kind of artwork that many big bosses like to collect. In addition to being famous and expensive, it must also be a work that has an orderly inheritance and detailed records.

Principal Lin calculated the auction prices and found that one painting cost 180 million Chinese Yuan, and another cost 210 million Chinese Yuan.

This expert is not only knowledgeable about the works, but also very sensitive to prices. The sellers' asking prices were 200 million and 250 million respectively, but the expert pointed out that the collectibles market has been sluggish in recent years. Although these two paintings are fine works, their prices have fallen now, so the reasonable prices should be around 150 million and 200 million.

The assistant's face changed immediately after hearing this, but she did not explain to the two of them. Instead, she called her boss for instructions.

The boss’s final reply was that the price could not be lower than the transaction price, otherwise he would not sell it.

Principal Lin did not bargain any further and finally chose the one worth 180 million because he thought it looked better and he had heard Yuan Linglong mention the author's name before.
