Christian said in advance: “Take off your jacket, and sit there on the couch. I’ve
got great news. The last painting by Ernst Young, that you gave me, is sold”
Dieter made big eyes and said: “Already?!”
Wilkens brought two glasses and put them on the coffee table. In the other hand
he had a bottle of cognac. He poured the sweet brown liqueur into the glasses
and sat down in the armchair for Dieter and toast.
"Sold at 10 percent over price,"
“Ha, ha, ha! Hold on now! Well cheers! ”
They drank, and from the inside pocket of his jacket Wilkens pulled out a brown
envelope. Dieter took the envelope and opened it. It was filled with 100 mark
notes.
“There should be 150.000 D-mark. The picture is sold to our friend Dumass in
Belgium.
Dumass eats from my hand, Dieter. He is tasked with buying as much as possible
of six different artists, including Ernst Young, whom we have just sold him a
piece of. Of course I would be a joke if I didn't ask you if you have more. "
Dieter raised his glass and tried to look like a familiar man. He knew he was

Wilkens felt a little uneasy. Diets were important, and if he got offers from others
that could easily happen, they would bid over and higher; Hamburg was not
Berlin or Munich, where the big dealerships took place.
"I understand you, you are like a brother to me, Dieter, you know. I am well
aware that as long as the old one is still here, we can only sell a little at a time. "
Dieter cut off, laughed a little and said:
Wilkens laughed.
Christian was nervous. He knew that competition would soon arise. The black
market
floated with all sorts of things sold. The illegal was almost legal. Then he
exclaimed unobtrusively solemnly:
"Of course,"
"How is it getting someone to run that milk story?"
