Chapter 49 Unexpected harvest! Zheng Banqiao's painting
"this painting……"
Although Lin Hao knew nothing about antiques, he could still tell whether it looked good or not. He found that the bamboo in this painting felt lifelike and very vivid.
In addition, the handwriting of the poem next to it is also elegant and elegant, giving people a very free and easy feeling. Although he does not know how to appreciate calligraphy, these words in front of him gave him a very comfortable feeling.
"Eh? This signature..."
At this moment, Lin Hao's eyes fell on the last signature of the calligraphy and painting. When he saw the signature clearly, his expression was shocked.
Because he discovered that these three characters were exactly ‘Zheng Banqiao’!
"Zheng Banqiao? Is this the authentic work of Zheng Banqiao?"
Immediately, Lin Hao became a little uneasy. Although he didn't understand antiques, he understood history. He knew very well what kind of existence Zheng Banqiao was.
He was a famous poet, painter and calligrapher in the Qing Dynasty, and his poetry, calligraphy and painting were also known as the "Three Wonders". It can be said that Zheng Banqiao's popularity among the calligraphers and painters of the Qing Dynasty can definitely be ranked in the top five or even the top.
three.
If this thing is really authentic, it is extraordinary and its value is absolutely extraordinary. If it were left to future generations, Zheng Banqiao's surviving works, even if they are of average quality, would fetch at least seven dollars in an auction house.
number of digits.
It is not unusual for those high-quality products to fetch eight figures, or even nine figures.
Of course, the value of this thing is naturally greatly reduced in this era. Except for some people with special hobbies, no one will collect these.
Firstly, people in this era have trouble eating. Very few people have the energy and financial resources to collect these things. Another key factor is that in this era, personal buying and selling is prohibited, which is nothing but speculation.
In this era, speculation is a very serious crime, and if it is serious, you may even eat peanuts.
The man in front of him obviously went to the pigeon market and wanted to take advantage of this thing, but the result was obviously very unsatisfactory.
"Yes, this is the authentic work of Zheng Banqiao. Our ancestors opened a pawn shop, and this thing was passed down from our ancestors. Later, by my father's generation, these businesses are no longer allowed to be operated by individuals!
Even many of the items collected at home have been confiscated, and this painting is the only old item left in the family! Comrade, you can rest assured that there is absolutely no question about the authenticity of this thing!"
When the other party saw that Lin Hao obviously wanted to buy it, he hurriedly explained.
"Oh? Your ancestors ran a pawn shop?"
After hearing the news, Lin Hao also looked at the man in surprise.
"Indeed, our ancestors were quite famous in the capital at that time. Not only did they run a pawn shop, they even ran several antique shops!
But unfortunately, these backgrounds are not something worth showing off in this era, but have become a burden to our whole family. Not only have our family property been confiscated, but our status has also been excluded!
It was impossible to find a formal job, and I had to rely on odd jobs to make ends meet. However, some time ago, my mother fell ill and was hospitalized. She spent all the family’s savings and owed a lot of debt. I had no choice but to find a job.
Take this thing out for emergencies!”
The man said with a bitter look on his face.
To use a later saying to describe it: Our ancestors were also generous!
"If you really want to buy it, I can leave your name and address, and even take you to see my home. If there is really a problem with this thing, you can even come back to us at any time! Anyway, our whole family can
Can’t run away!”
In order to completely dispel Lin Hao's doubts, the man said again, with a look of determination on his face.
You must know that this decision is not that easy to make, because their behavior is opportunistic to a certain extent. If they are reported, they will go to jail. If the other party's family is not in dire straits, it will not be like this at all.
"oh?"
After seeing the other party's appearance, Lin Hao was slightly moved. At the same time, he believed 80% of the other party's words. Lin Hao is a master of Chinese martial arts and his insight is very sharp. It is no exaggeration to say that few people can do this.
Lie in front of him.
"Wait a minute, you said that your ancestor not only ran a pawn shop, but also opened an antique shop?"
Suddenly, as if he thought of something, Lin Hao's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Yes, why, is there any problem with this? My family's situation is not a secret in our street, basically everyone knows it! Even some old people in the capital know about it."
After seeing Lin Hao's performance, the other party also looked a little confused, obviously not understanding why Lin Hao asked this.
"Then let me ask, do you have any research on the antiques industry?"
Lin Hao said with expectation.
"This makes gay people laugh. As for antiques, our family has already been disconnected since my generation. I was still young at that time and had no exposure to these things. When I got a little older, times changed.
My dad was afraid that something else would happen again, so he never taught us these things!"
the man said.
"Is that so? But you mean your father is very knowledgeable in this field?"
Lin Hao asked.
"It's true. My dad had quite a reputation in this industry back then! At least there are very few people in the capital who can compare with my dad!"
The man replied.
"so smart!"
After hearing this, Lin Hao also began to weigh secretly in his heart, and soon he had a calculation.
"I want this painting, please give me a price!"
Lin Hao opened his mouth and said.
"One hundred... no, fifty yuan, I want to sell it for fifty yuan!"
The man's face changed, and he gritted his teeth and said, then stared at Lin Hao, fearing that he would refuse.
"Fifty dollars?"
After hearing the price, Lin Hao was stunned for a moment. It was not that he thought it was expensive, but that it was a bit too cheap. However, he soon realized that he was obviously affected by the situation of later generations.
"No, if it doesn't work, then thirty yuan, at least thirty yuan, otherwise, I won't sell it!"
Seeing this, the man said one last time, obviously this was his final bottom line.
"No, you misunderstood. That's not what I meant. I just didn't react. Fifty dollars, I want this painting!"
Lin Hao saw this and said directly. He didn't want to pretend to be a bad guy. He naturally had his own plans for doing this. After all, although he said he had a lot of money, it didn't come from the strong wind, so naturally he didn't.
