If it’s not a question of money, what else could it be?
If there is a problem in this world that cannot be solved with money, it must be an extremely difficult problem.
Ask why.
Liu Yin said, "The owner of Zhang Xiaoling's villa is named Zhou Baochun, who is the retired leader of the Shanghai Folk Art Troupe. He is in his sixties and loves nothing else but collecting calligraphy and paintings. As you know, on April 2 this year, Zhang Daqian
The husband passed away, and his paintings have skyrocketed. The price of an exquisite landscape painting is almost as much as that of a villa."
How can the retired leader of a folk art troupe be so rich?
After understanding.
It turns out that Zhou Baochun's son is a famous businessman in Shanghai, with a net worth of several million.
Zhou Baochun has nothing to do in his old age, and his son is very filial, so as long as his father has needs, he is satisfied with everything.
Yu Tian was very happy.
It happened that I had an authentic painting by Zhang Daqian, the Peach Garden.
He immediately asked Xiaolong to take out the scroll and display it, and at the same time said to Liu Yin, "Look at this, is it the same as the one hanging in your home?"
Liu Yin was even more surprised.
The ones hanging in her home are indeed fake, just like bragging that the villa belongs to her before, just to prop up the appearance.
After all, rich people also have circles and more comparisons.
In addition, she doesn't like these things herself, so it's not an exaggeration to say that they are arty.
Otherwise, if it were a real painting, she should have sold it long ago when Zhou Baochun offered the sky-high price of 800,000 yuan.
and.
She didn't doubt that what Yu Tian was holding was a fake painting now. After all, Yu Tian's identity was on display here. She nodded and said, "I'll take you to try it, but it may not work."
Just try it.
Liu Yin immediately contacted Zhou Baochun, and an hour later, the group met at Zhang Xiaoling's original villa.
This villa located on Kangding East Road on the south bank of Suzhou River is really nice.
It was built in 1920, has two floors, covers an area of 1,000 square meters, has an independent garden, and is elegant and dignified.
Zhang Xiaoling has lived here on and off for 18 years.
The White Mansion in her famous novel "Love in a Fallen City" was based on this place.
While admiring it, Yu Tian recalled the contents of the book and said, "The yellow light falls on the green floor tiles, and the red sandalwood box is like this green clay. In the middle of the natural table, in the glass cover, there is an enamel self-ringing clock with a morning machine.
It has been broken for many years. There are vermilion couplets hanging on both sides, with golden longevity characters shining. One flower supports a large character dripping with ink. In the dim light, each character seems to be floating in mid-air, far away from the paper.
..."
Zhou Baochun praised it very much.
He stooped and added as he walked, "Zhang Xiaoling also said during the war that it would be best to have a bomb to send her away with the villa. It shows how much she likes this house, so... yours
Even if the painting is real, it's not enough to replace this villa, do you understand what I mean?"
Understand!
But don't be in a hurry.
A priori true or false.
Zhou Baochun immediately invited an identification team. After an hour of careful inspection, from the painter to the drawings, from the signature to the brush strokes, there is no doubt that this is the authentic work of Mr. Zhang Daqian.
"good..."
Zhou Baochun also blamed Liu Yin, "I wanted to buy it at the beginning, but you refused to sell it! Now I gave it to this young man for nothing. What is the relationship between you two?"
Liu Yin definitely wants to save face, this is just an excuse.
Yu Tian explained vaguely, saying that he was closer than his own siblings, and continued to talk about the price.
Zhou Baochun didn't care, and said, "This villa, really, requires at least two pictures of Peach Blossoms to exchange for it. Don't give me money, I don't want money, I want the original painting."
Where can Yu Tian get the original work?
This piece was left behind by old Mrs. Sun. He didn't mess around with these things on weekdays, so for a while he really had no choice.
However, Zhou Baochun mentioned one person, "You can go to Sun Zhiqiang. He has a lot of calligraphy and paintings! There are also Zhang Daqian's and Qi Baishi's. Anyway, if you get something similar, I will trade with you! I won't embarrass you, even if
If it's close, how about you give me a little more money?"
Sun Zhiqiang is a famous collector in Shanghai.
But he and Zhou Baochun had a grudge. The two had a major conflict over the authenticity of calligraphy and paintings and got into a fight. Therefore, Zhou Baochun would never seek help from Sun Zhiqiang.
But Yu Tian didn't care about this unclear relationship and didn't want to understand it.
If he hadn't insisted on buying a villa for his favorite Li Wanrou, he would have become impatient.
Intentionally refuse.
But when he thought of Li Wanrou's fantasy of sitting in a villa reading a book, the light of surprise flashed in her eyes, Yu Tian finally agreed without hesitation.
Just do it.
After finding out the location of collector Sun Zhiqiang, he rushed there immediately.
Three o'clock in the afternoon.
Yu Tian met this old man in his fifties at Sun Zhiqiang's small collection hall.
Hearing that Yu Tian wanted to buy a painting, Sun Zhiqiang quickly waved his hand, "I won't sell it. I only collect it and don't sell it. Even if the museum comes to buy it, I won't sell it. I just lend it out for exhibition. These are my treasures."
"Make conditions."
Yu Tian didn't talk nonsense to him and said politely, "Brother Sun, if you have any unfulfilled wishes, just tell me and I will help you. My requirements are not high, I just want to buy your paintings. This is for me."
If it's very important, Zhang Daqian's work will do, Qi Baishi's work will do, as long as it's similar to the Peach Blossom Picture, it'll all work."
Can people be free from difficulties? Bodhisattvas all have three kinds of worries.
When Sun Zhiqiang saw Yu Tian talking as if he could handle anything, he immediately smiled and said, "Really or not? I really have a problem! If you can help me solve it, I am even willing to give you a pair of Qi Baishi for free."
Or Zhang Daqian’s paintings, I’ll keep them for you and take the villa!”
"Seriously?" Yu Tian asked.
"A gentleman's words are hard to catch up with!" Sun Zhiqiang did his duty.
"Okay!" Yu Tian nodded, "Mr. Sun, please talk to me about the problem in person, and I will solve it immediately. As long as you don't have to catch turtles under the moon and under the five oceans, I will try my best to help you complete it."
What a loud tone.
Sun Zhiqiang smiled and asked Yu Tian to take a seat first.
Then I poured a cup of chrysanthemum tea and asked him to take a few sips to calm down his mood, so as not to frighten him after hearing a difficult problem.
"But there's no harm in talking."
Yu Tian took a sip of tea, and all he thought about was Li Wanrou's joy after seeing the villa.
"good."
Sun Zhiqiang also took a sip, put down the tea cup gently, and then said, "Since Brother Yu is so courageous, I won't hide it anymore. With all due respect, in the past six months, I have indeed had an extremely difficult thing to handle.
, it can even be regarded as a big worry for me. If Liu Yin hadn't just told you about the feats you have done within a year, I really wouldn't want to tell you."
He and Liu Yin are both friends. Although they are not very close, they occasionally meet each other.
It just so happened that Liu Yin was more interested in saving face, so she said that Yu Tian was particularly powerful.
The voice fell.
Seeing that Yu Tian had no reaction, Sun Zhiqiang continued, "Brother Yu is really calm and a man who achieves great things. Okay, then I'll tell you straight away. My difficulty is..."
