Rebirth in America: Great Slave Owner

Vol 2 Chapter 207: anti-theft

"Tony, lend me someone!" Lauren said to Tangning after the fierce battle at Kimmel's apartment that day.

"Who do you want?" Tangning asked casually.

"Reliable people, mainly because I just arrived, and I haven't trained reliable people, otherwise I will send people myself!" Lauren explained.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Tangning asked again.

Lauren whispered into Tangning's ear, "Tony, do you feel that the new Miss Alexander is strange?"

Tangning nodded and replied, "It's a little strange, I haven't seen her again except when she came to say hello when she first moved in!"

"I think I might know why!" Lauren said triumphantly.

"Oh? Why?" Tangning asked curiously.

And Lauren shook her head and replied, "I'm not sure about this for the time being, so I need Tony to lend me a person to go to Memphis to check on a Miss Margaret!"

"Why are you checking her?" Tangning asked in confusion.

"Because I suspect that this Alexander is actually Margaret of Memphis. I seem to have seen her in Memphis two years ago, but I was not impressed, so I need to verify it!" Lauren replied.

"Oh, that's it, okay, then I'll let Adrian go to find you!"

Unexpectedly, Lauren stopped him and said, "Don't let him come to me, then our relationship will be exposed, so you directly ask him to go to Memphis to find a man named Margaret who looks very much like Miss Alexander. The dancing girl, it is best if you can get her portrait or photo!"

"Okay, I'll tell him to go to Memphis tomorrow!" Tangning nodded in agreement.

To Tangning's surprise, when he ordered Adrian to go to Memphis the next day, he hesitated for a while, then said, "Master, it's not that I don't obey your orders, it's that I don't think I'm the right person. To do this kind of thing, and it happens that Uncle Rob is going to Memphis for a trip, or master, you should let him investigate this Miss Margaret!"

To be honest, Tangning also knew that Adrian was not suitable for this kind of investigation work, but there was no way, he really didn't have any suitable candidates, but when he heard that the old housekeeper Rob happened to be going to Memphis, he was a little surprised: " Oh? Rob is going on a trip to Memphis? This old guy is quite able to walk! Okay, then call him and leave the matter to him. Besides, I will pay him all the expenses for his trip to Memphis this time. !"

After arranging this matter, Tangning was just about to sit down for a cup of coffee, but the maid Marlene came in to report that there was a Mr. Rollins from New York who wanted to see her.

So Tangning had to come to the parlour and saw this Mr. Rollins introduce himself: "Hello Mr. Downing, I'm Robin - Rollins, I heard from Mr. Warner that Mr. Downing, you have a picture of Mr. Maddison here. "Paris in a Dream", I wonder if you can show it to me?"

Although Tangning didn't understand why this Rollins came all the way from New York to New Orleans to see this painting, she nodded and agreed, "Okay, please come to the studio with me!"

After seeing Madison's "Paris in a Dream", Rollins looked very excited and admired it for a long time before asking Tangning, "Mr. Tangning, can you sell me this painting?"

Tangning shook her head without hesitation and refused, "Sorry, Mr. Rollins, I also like this painting very much, so I have no plans to sell it for now!"

"I can pay a high price..."

Before Rollins could finish speaking, Tangning interrupted, "Mr. Rollins, do you think I'm someone who lacks money? Well, you can leave me your contact information. I plan to sell this painting, I will contact you as soon as possible!"

Rollins persisted for a while, but seeing that Tangning really didn't want to sell, he had to give up, but he still left his address.

Tangning saw that the atmosphere was a little awkward, so she changed the subject and asked, "By the way, Mr. Rollins, are you familiar with Mr. Warner?"

Rollins shook his head and replied, "It's not very familiar either. Mr. Warner and I met at the New York Art Exhibition not long ago. Because we have similar views on art, we can chat very easily. Speaking of this painting, that's why I took the liberty to come here and try to see if I can buy him from you, Mr. Tangning!"

For Rollins' answer, Downing felt it was normal, because in his impression, Warner was indeed a person who liked painting very much, otherwise he would not have bought so many Madison's works.

In order to make up for Rollins' regret, Tangning pointed to other oil paintings in the studio and said, "Actually, Mr. Warner and I like the same style, so Mr. Rollins, you can take a look at the other oil paintings here, if you are interested. Yes, I can send you one!"

Originally, Rollins planned to decline, but he accidentally saw a painting and said, "Hey, Mr. Tangning, why do you have this painting here?"

Tangning looked in the direction he was pointing, and found that he was referring to the "Lady on the Sofa" that he had given to Camilla. Of course, this was another painting he later painted based on memory.

So he smiled and replied, "Of course I have it here, because I painted this painting!"

"You painted this picture?" Rollins asked in surprise.

Tangning nodded and replied, "Yes, why have you seen this painting?"

"Yes, I saw this painting in New York, but it was not signed by the artist!"

"Actually there are~www.readwn.com~ but you didn't find it. Do you think the pattern on this sofa is very similar to my surname Tangning?" Tangning pointed to a pattern on the edge of the sofa.

Lorraine suddenly realized: "Oh, so this is your signature?"

In fact, many painters like to leave their names and marks on their paintings in this relatively special way. For example, the great German painter Albrecht-Dürer likes to do this kind of thing very much, not only finding one in all works He left his signature in a hidden place, and he also painted himself into the crowd in some paintings, and even held his signature...

The reason for this is actually very simple, it is to prevent theft, because human nature is connected, and there were many cases of plagiarism, plagiarism, and false identification in that era, so writers, painters and other art practitioners were forced to take various methods to protect themselves. rights and interests.

PS: I recommend iQIYI's "Wild Inn", the title is a bit watery, but the content is good, a bit like "No Man's Land", and the plot design is also very complete. Easy!
