"There is no end to learning!" Wang Zhiqing sighed and raised his head: "Students have been taught!" Now he was convinced. Not only was he convinced, but other people were also convinced. It was really long-lasting.
Seen it!
While they were convinced, they suddenly realized that not only China had antiques, but other countries also had antiques. Before that, they really didn't realize this.
In fact, this is not the situation in the domestic collecting industry. When it comes to antiques, I am afraid that most ordinary collectors can only think of domestic exquisite ceramics, majestic bronzes, etc., but they cannot imagine foreign antiques.
Ask them to name some foreign countries that have those antiques. There are really not many that can be said. Of course, except for mummies in certain countries, the Mona Lisa, the scepter and so on...
Relatively speaking, in fact, calligraphy and painting are even better. If you replace them with other foreign antiques, they are even less popular, and probably even fewer people know about them, let alone ordinary collectors.
Experts like Mr. Ma probably don’t know much.
The reason why this situation occurs is that the Chinese people are inherently repulsive. Due to differences in culture and history, the Chinese people will inevitably have barriers to foreign antiques and works of art. Naturally, they will not be interested in them, and they will not be able to form a market.
In addition, there is a lack of professional appraisers in the domestic collection industry.
Domestic antique appraisers can be divided into three major categories. The first category is related to industries like Mr. Ma and Wang Zhiqing, such as archeology, history, etc. Although such majors are very close to antiques, they are still unprofessional. Most of them are
Amateurs are just like history majors. Those who study history do not necessarily understand antiques. Although history majors and antiques majors are closely related, they are two different majors.
There are also people like Wang Zhiqing. Although he is very knowledgeable about calligraphy and painting, he is not professional, because calligraphy and painting should actually be regarded as art majors. This is not the same thing. If you change to a professor of art majors,
, he must be able to identify this painting at a glance.
The second category is those who are just collectors like Liu Lei, but have gained experience and quality in playing. They are even less professional. Needless to say, this point goes without saying.
The above two categories have their own careers. Generally speaking, playing antiques and collecting can only be regarded as hobbies.
In addition to these two categories, the remaining category is professional appraisers or antique dealers. They are indeed professionals, but most of these people are grassroots. Their knowledge is not high, and they just rely on experience little by little.
They came out of it, or their family is engaged in antiques and rely on the experience passed down by their ancestors. Their vision and experience may be very rich, but they lack a certain level of knowledge. Just like now, they are asked to appraise foreign countries.
It’s really hard to tell if it’s the first time you see an antique.
All in all, the profession of antique appraisal is lacking in China.
In addition to being convinced that this painting is authentic, everyone present also changed their eyes when they looked at Chen Ran. Now they have nothing to say about Chen Ran's eyesight. What else can they say, even though Dragon and Phoenix
They were not present at the incident about the auspicious jade pendant, they had only heard about it, but just the ancient painting in front of them was enough to convince them. Even Wang Zhiqing and Liu Lei had a big change in their attitude towards Chen Ran.
change……
There is no great or small knowledge, and only those who are capable can be their teachers. Although Chen Ran has only found out a few mistakes every time, people can be deeply impressed by his vision every time, like the dragon and phoenix jade pendant, like this ancient painting...
Of course, among everyone, Guo Hai was the most convinced. If there were no outsiders present, he would have given Chen Ran a hug right away. Then he said, "Damn, bro, you are so awesome."
So awesome.
"Old man, you said this painting is a Japanese painting, but you haven't given an estimate on the painting yet..." Just when everyone was convinced, a loud laughter suddenly came over, and this loud laughter came,
This caused everyone to cast their eyes over him.
The first thing I saw was a row of bodyguards all wearing black suits and sunglasses. The first thing I saw was this row of bodyguards, but what caught my attention was the pair of beautiful twins in front of the row of bodyguards. However, no matter
Whether they were bodyguards or twin beauties, at this moment, both were being ignored. It was okay to ignore the bodyguards, but for the twin beauties, it was obviously not easy to just glance at them and then look away.
It was only a dwarf who had achieved this step. Even though he was only a dwarf, no one present ignored him and looked at the dwarf without the slightest look of disdain. Strictly speaking, he was even a little scared. Of course, Mr. Ma
Others must be excluded.
Hearing the loud laughter, Chen Ran turned his head and looked over...
The person who spoke was surprisingly Zhu Feng.
"Brother, you have such a good eye!"
Seeing Chen Ran looking at him, Zhu Feng stretched out his big finger, smiled at Chen Ran and nodded.
"Xiao Chen's eyesight is nothing to say!" Before Chen Ran could say anything, Mr. Ma replied angrily. He seemed to be a little cold to Zhu Feng. When he saw Zhu Feng, he snorted softly.
"The old man hasn't given an estimate for this painting yet?" Zhu Feng was not angry at all, but smiled.
"Why are you here joining in the fun!"
Mr. Ma glared at Zhu Feng angrily and then began to ponder. For a moment, everyone present also focused their attention on Mr. Ma. Although they already knew that this ancient painting was authentic and might be valuable, in the end
Everyone has no idea how much it is worth, and they all want to know its market value.
Everyone else was curious, but Guo Hai and Chen Ran were different. Although Chen Ran received this painting, for Guo Hai, it was no different from what he had received. Naturally, he hoped that the more valuable the painting, the better.
Chen Ran obviously also wants to know how much this Japanese painting is worth. Although he does not lack small money now, he lacks big money for Chen Ping to use as capital for business. It is a small matter, not to mention that Chen Ping is not satisfied.
He himself is not satisfied. Besides, no one will have trouble with money, and no one will think that he has a lot of money.
Mr. Ma pondered for a long time, and then slowly said: "If I read it correctly, the cold mountain painting that Xiao Chen received should be Chi Daya's early work before the formation of the Southern Painting School in Japan. It is relatively
The international market value of Chi Daya's late works is lower than that of this work. According to my estimate, it should be around 3.2 million. Of course, if sold to the Japanese, it may be higher.
Some, if they were auctioned in Japan, they would be even higher!"
"Three million and two million!"
Mr. Ma had just reported this price, and there was a gasp in the audience. Even Chen Ran's eyelids suddenly jumped, but fortunately he was mentally prepared. Although the price was higher than what he estimated,
The price was high, but not that outrageous, so I wasn't too shocked, just surprised.
For example, Guo Hai was stunned all of a sudden. He remained stunned for a long time before he suddenly slapped his thigh as if having a seizure suddenly: "Holy shit!"
"Brother, I wonder if you are willing to transfer this ancient painting?" Just when the others were still surprised, Zhu Feng's smiling voice came again.
Chen Ran was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then turned to look at Mr. Ma. This painting must be sold. It is a Japanese painting. Although he is not an angry youth, he will definitely not collect it.
The collection also collects Chinese paintings and calligraphy. He looked at Mr. Ma, but he wanted to see if Mr. Ma was interested in this painting. After all, this painting was identified by Mr. Ma. If Mr. Ma was interested, he would naturally want to
Prioritize Mr. Ma.
"Hmph! Little lunatic, I'm warning you, if you dare to make Xiao Chen suffer, I'll ask you for advice!"
Mr. Ma understands this painting, not because he likes Japan as a country, but because of his academic pursuit. Academics have no borders, but understanding is one thing, but asking him to collect a Japanese painting and calligraphy is another.
On this point, he has the same mentality as Chen Ran.
However, although he had no intention of accepting the painting, he was very satisfied when he saw that Chen Ran did not agree immediately after hearing Zhu Feng's words, but looked at him first. From this action,
Undoubtedly, he could see Chen Ran's character problems, which made him appreciate Chen Ran even more. Thinking of Zhu Feng's reputation, and out of love for Chen Ran, he couldn't help but warn Zhu Feng.
"Old man, I see what you said. I don't have much ability, but I will never mistreat those who have ability. This little brother's ability is so convincing to me. Even if you don't say it, I can still treat him badly.
Brother?" Zhu Feng smiled and said to Mr. Ma, and then looked at Chen Ran: "Brother Chen, the old man valued this painting for you at 3.2 million, so I will give you 3.8 million for it.
Accept the price, what do you think?"
Hearing what Zhu Feng said, Chen Ran shook his head almost without thinking: "Boss Zhu, if you like it, just take it according to Mr. Ma's valuation!"
He doesn't need the 600,000 yuan, so why should he owe Zhu Feng a favor?
As soon as Chen Ran said these words, everyone present looked at him differently. For example, when Mr. Ma, Wang Zhiqing and Liu Lei looked at Chen Ran, their eyes were filled with undisguised admiration. Six Hundred Thousand Said
It's not too much, it's not too much, but Chen Ran can refuse this free money. If nothing else, it at least shows that Chen Ran is not a profit-seeking villain, or a person who is greedy for gain.
