"One hundred thousand? Is this true? I asked many people, and the most they offered was three hundred. They are really profiteers, they even cheat children." Mingyu's mood fluctuated greatly from the surprise at first to the resentment that followed, which made Han
The peacock looked in awe.
Han Kongque said: "Your painting is almost three square feet. At the price of thirty thousand yuan per square foot, it should be worthy of the author of this painting. Now I can only pay this price at most. If you want
If you want to sell it, you have to ask your parents to do it. If you sell the painting yourself, I won't accept it."
"I know, I know, didn't that whole family just come? I'm going to call my parents and ask them to come quickly." Mingyu said excitedly.
Ignoring Mingyu, Han Kongque began to observe the painting carefully again. Han Kongque was not a bad person. The reason why he spent 100,000 yuan to buy this painting was because he had some reasons.
One hundred thousand seems like a lot, but if this is really a famous painting, then he will definitely make money.
Although Han Kongque didn't know who painted this painting, he could easily recognize that it should be an ancient painting.
Regardless of the handwriting or painting style, Han Kongque did not believe that modern people could draw to this level.
What's more, the paper used for this painting should be handmade rice paper. Really good handmade rice paper. The paper has a lifespan of thousands of years and will not turn yellow or break for hundreds of years.
On the other hand, the rice paper produced by machines now has a lifespan of only a few decades because of the addition of chemical raw materials and the absence of acidic substances. Over time, it turns yellow, becomes brittle, and is easily damaged.
People who use this kind of paper to draw are generally very confident in themselves, or are famous artists, otherwise this kind of paper will definitely be wasted. Of course, if it is used to make fakes for profit, that's another matter.
However, this painting is definitely a masterpiece now. Even if it is copied by modern people, it can be regarded as a high imitation. Of course, copying must have someone to copy from, and who would copy a painting of Nine Nines to Relieve the Cold?
Therefore, Han Kongque didn't think about the situation of high imitation. If it was really a high imitation, the author would never fail to leave a mark. Even if it was a fake, he would leave a mark. After all, there is only one mark.
Only in this way can you sell it at a high price.
The paper quality of this painting is very good. It is white and bright, and has not turned yellow or brittle. Han Peacock easily recognized that this is the "ribbed paper" in Shengxuan.
Raw xuan is a type of rice paper that has not been processed, and raw xuan processed with alum is called cooked xuan. Raw xuan is unprocessed, has strong water absorption and water-clearing properties, and is prone to rich ink rhyme changes.
Use it to splash ink and accumulate ink, which can produce a rich and rich artistic effect. It is often used for freehand landscapes. Although there is a lot of ink interest in Shengxuan paintings, it is settled as soon as you start writing. Ink penetrates quickly and is difficult to master.
But in the Ming Dynasty, there were quite a few people who used this kind of painting technique, the most famous of which were of course Shen Zhou and Wen Zhengming.
The advantage of Shengxuan is that it can make the breath of ink and wash infinitely changeable, which is more suitable for scribes to express their feelings.
Especially after the Zhengde and Jiajing reigns, people like Xu Wei and others began to use splash-ink freehand brushwork to fulfill the function of life and propaganda. Han Peacock would definitely not lose money if he spent 100,000 to buy such a painting.
After making a decision, Han Kongque carefully collected the picture. When collecting the picture, Han Kongque sighed again. The origin of this painting must not be simple. Whether it is the quality of the painting, the mounting, or the preservation, it is obvious that he has taken great care.
of.
Han Kongque believes that as long as the origin of this painting is understood, the value of this painting will definitely increase significantly.
Through this, Han Kongque was able to conclude that this painting should have been painted by a painter in the Ming Dynasty. Of course, even if the painting was not a famous painting, Han Kongque would never lose money if he spent 100,000 to buy a fine ancient painting by an unknown person.
Han Peacock did not expect that a moment of kindness would yield such a reward. This made Han Peacock feel very good. It seemed that good people were rewarded.
Mingyu was calling someone, but Han Kongque ignored him. He had nothing to do, so he turned on the computer directly, read the news, and played games.
After plugging up the game and letting the characters automatically upgrade, Han Peacock browsed the news. He had to pay attention in the past few days. The plan to alert the snake has entered a critical moment. If he misses the opportunity, he will suffer huge losses.
Watching the news about American ships stranded in the sea between China and Japan, Han Peacock discovered that the Americans moved very quickly. In just a few days, they had already transported a lot of earth and stone on giant cargo ships and filled in a small island.
The reef area over there has been almost completely filled in by them. You must know that it is a reef group with a radius of several hundred meters. There are many large and small underwater reefs in this area, but such a reef is suitable for land reclamation.
That's why Americans fill up so quickly.
By this time, China and Japan had already discovered that something was wrong, so the two maritime surveillance ships had abandoned the waterway and occupied the other two sea areas that Han Kongque had previously searched.
Han Peacock kept searching for relevant news on the Internet. The domestic situation was calm and there was no news. On the contrary, news broke out from time to time in Japan.
Seeing the actions of the Americans, China did not react at all, but Japan was different. They had a small land but a large population, and their desire for land was unimaginably fanatical to the Chinese.
Now that there was such a method that allowed them to easily expand their territory and sea areas, the whole of Japan was immediately shocked and took action quickly.
The Japanese were busy transporting earth and rocks to the reef area they occupied, hoping to quickly fill in an island like the Americans.
After the Americans discovered the Japanese actions, they directly dispatched an aircraft carrier formation stationed in Okinawa to that area.
By this time, all countries in the world had discovered the anomaly here.
The sea area chosen by Han Peacock is very critical. It is only more than 400 kilometers away from the Magic City, only more than 400 kilometers away from Kagoshima, Japan, and only more than 400 kilometers away from the important Japanese port of Naha.
If such a place is controlled by the Americans, Japan, China, even South Korea, North Korea, and Russia will have trouble sleeping and eating.
Although Americans can now station troops in Japan and South Korea, they are stationed on the territory of other countries after all. Now, Americans are about to have a piece of land of their own in the East China Sea, which can be a land that they have complete sovereignty over.
If the Americans can gain a foothold here, they can easily threaten the entire territory of China and most cities in the Russian Far East, not to mention the three small countries of Japan, South Korea and North Korea.
Naturally, China and Japan will not let the Americans occupy such an important place, especially China. Now the entire East China Sea region is already at war with each other and is in an imminent crisis.
This kind of tense atmosphere is not what Han Peacock wants to see. No one wants war. So if you want to solve this situation, you must implement the next plan to fish in troubled waters.
Han Kongque finished analyzing the current situation and touched his chin: "They should be coming soon, right?"
"Come on, I've already told them the detailed address here." Mingyu thought Han Kongque was talking to him, so he replied quickly.
When Han Kongque saw Mingyu's little appearance, he immediately smiled: "Are you really so happy after selling it for 100,000 yuan?"
"Of course. With money, I will ask my mother to go to the hospital." Mingyu said.
Han Kongque said: "Then I will prepare first."
Han Kongque made an internal call and asked Bai Yi to prepare the contract, and at the same time brought over the transfer contract of the little wooden horse.
"Boss, someone is looking for you, saying he is a big customer." Baiyi opened the door and came in, bringing in many people at the same time.
Han Kongque said in surprise: "Jiang Lin? How come Mr. Jiang has time to come here?"
Jiang Lindao: "Your company has achieved such great results. How could we not come and take a look?" He turned around and said, "Come in and take a look! This is the legendary Mr. Han Peacock.
"
"Boss, someone is looking for you again." Just as he was about to chat with Jiang Lin and get acquainted with the person he brought, Bai Yi, who had just left, came in again.
When Mingyu saw the person coming, he immediately jumped up happily: "Mom, Dad, I'm here."
"Hey, you still have guests here?" Jiang Lin said in surprise.
Han Kongque said: "Mingyu, have you made it clear to your parents? If it is made clear, we don't need to talk anymore. After you sign the contract, you can go to the finance department to get the money."
"I've made it clear, I've made it clear, Dad, hurry up and sign the contract." Mingyu said happily.
Han Kongque picked up the contract sent by Bai Yi and filled in the detailed features of the Nine-Nine Cold Relief Picture. He asked Mingyu's parents to read it over and confirm that they really wanted to sell the calligraphy and painting, and then Han Kongque asked them to sign.
.
After signing, naturally someone in white led them out to collect the money.
"Big brother. I'll call you tonight. You call Big Sister and I'll treat you." When Mingyu finally left, she still hadn't forgotten Han Peacock.
Han Peacock smiled and said: "If you can call the eldest sister out, then let me treat you."
"Okay, it's a deal." Mingyu smiled and walked away.
Han Kongque shook his head with a smile and walked back to the office.
"What good things did you collect? The Nine-Nine Cold-repelling Picture? How come I haven't heard of it? Which famous artist's work is it?" Jiang Lin said immediately as soon as Han Kongque came back.
Before Han Kongque had time to answer, someone interrupted Jiang Lin's questioning: "Okay, even if Brother Han tells you, how much can you remember? You are a stickman yourself, and you still pretend to be a cultural person."
The speaker was a young man with a cold temperament. He had sharp edges and a stubby hair. With such a temperament, he could be a soldier at first glance.
At this time, a young man dressed fashionably and elegantly said: "I'm also very interested. Anyway, you can't talk about your matter here. I think we should study this painting! What do you think? Brother Han opens the door.
Shall we take a look?"
Jiang Lin said at this time: "Xiao Han, this is Cheng Jun, and this is Liu Mingyu, the major shareholder of our company, I'm here specifically to meet you this time."
Han Kongque knew that this was the boss behind the salvage company. Now he knew that there were Jiang Lin, Long Lin, Chen Jiayi, and Ye Tian from the Ye family, plus Cheng Jun and Liu Mingyu. Among the six major shareholders, he only had Ye Tian
Never seen it before.
Seeing Liu Mingyu's eager eyes, Jiang Lin explained: "Liu Mingyu among us has some appreciation ability, and it was at his suggestion that we established the salvage company."
Han Peacock smiled and said, "It's not a famous painting. You'll know it just by looking at it."
With that said, Han Peacock opened the ninety-nine anti-cold pictures on his desk.
"Is this a picture of ninety-nine to relieve the cold?" Liu Mingyu was really capable and could tell what this picture was at a glance.
Cheng Jun obviously didn't understand anything, but he didn't understand, but his eyesight was extremely good: "It's a good painting, these plum blossoms look like they are fluttering in the wind."
Jiang Lin also said in shock: "Xiao Han, you are so lucky. Although I don't know who painted this painting, judging from the artist's perspective, it is definitely a masterpiece."
Liu Mingyu looked at the painting seriously and said: "It's not the plum blossoms that are moving, but the plum branches that are moving."
Hearing this, Han Kongque's heart moved. He focused his attention on the painting again. Sure enough, after Liu Mingyu's reminder, Han Kongque discovered that the reason why these nine plum blossoms were vivid and seemed to be fluttering in the wind was that they were not plum blossoms.
The relationship. But the relationship between the nine branches.
Although Han Kongque has a certain appreciation of calligraphy and painting, he is actually no different from Cheng Jun. They are both laymen, that is to say, they have never painted before.
Liu Mingyu is different. He has been exposed to calligraphy and painting since he was a child. He is also very knowledgeable about Chinese ink painting. Unlike Han Kongque and Cheng Jun, he was attracted by the plum blossoms with their own styles at first sight. Instead, he relied on his professionalism and caught it at once.
The key point is to see the specialness of the nine plum branches.
The focus of this painting is on the plum blossoms, followed by the nine plum branches. The layers of rocks and trees hidden in the mountains are all made of light ink, so although the painting is very good, they can only be the background.
.
Therefore, when outsiders watch the excitement, they are often attracted by the plum blossoms in the painting at a glance, thus missing the very special plum branches.
You must know that the most important thing about this painting is the nine plum branches. Because this is a picture of relieving the cold, in the background of this painting, the author must have focused on the nine plum branches at the beginning. With these nine
Plum branches, the next eighty-one plum blossoms will be filled in one by one in the later time.
"Xiao Han, I like this painting very much, why don't you give this painting to me?" Liu Mingyu withdrew his gaze and immediately aimed at Han Peacock.
Han Peacock looked carefully at several dry plum branches that were outlined with a special method. This method of painting branches is very special. How can I put it! Even if Han Peacock is an amateur, he can also see that the plum branches are drawn.
It is better to say that it was written. And this kind of painting technique with dry brush and light ink is difficult for Han Kongque to understand.
This painting is a small freehand painting, with flexible movements, using calligraphy to paint, and writing to describe. The brushwork is powerful and the shape is beautiful. The brush and ink throughout the painting are sparse and concise, the lines are straight and free, and the image is full of charm.
From this we can see how strong the author's foundation in calligraphy and painting is.
The most famous painting method of this kind is Tang Yin of the Ming Dynasty. This composition uses the branch-folding method. The branches are bent from the lower right and stretch upward in various ways. They are painted with dry brushes and thick ink, making the branches of the plum branches look older and taller.
.
If you know the method of breaking branches, you will naturally think of the method of accumulating ink. Some of the plum blossoms on the nine branches are also drawn with the method of accumulating ink. The plum blossoms are perched on the branches, as if they are blooming in the wind, and the branches seem to be responding.
The knots move slightly, thus showing the harmonious beauty of the rhythm of life in nature.
At this time, Han Kongque suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the words on the painting looked familiar to him, because they were the authentic paintings of Tang Yin.
According to the characteristics of the calligraphy and painting, this painting should be an authentic work by Tang Yin.
In the realm of freehand brushwork and flower-and-bird painting, no one in the Ming and Qing Dynasties could surpass Tang Bohu.
Among them, the representative work of Tang Yin's flower and bird paintings, "Withered Tree and Bird Picture", is very similar to this painting. The branches are painted using the branch breaking method, and the starlings or plum blossoms on the branches are painted using the ink accumulation method.
It can be said that Tang Bohu put more thought into this painting of Nine Nines to Eliminate Cold than the "Picture of Withered Trees and Birds", and this painting also shows more of the author's skill.
Whether it is a mountain, a tree, a branch or a plum blossom, this nine-nine picture of eliminating the cold is more complex than the "Picture of a Dry Tree and a Bird" and better demonstrates the author's skill.
Han Kongque didn't know what Liu Mingyu saw, but if Han Kongque took action on such a painting, he would naturally have to pay a huge price.
"I wonder how much Brother Liu can produce?" Han Peacock said with a half-smile.
Tang Bohu's paintings are naturally not cheap. A landscape painting of less than two square feet was once auctioned for more than four million yuan, with an average of two million per square foot. Of course, this is the price of a large painting. The price of a small painting is definitely not that expensive. Generally,
In the hundreds of thousands per square foot.
The painting of Han Peacock's nine-nine plum blossoms is 70 x 46 centimeters. How many square feet is it so big? 2.9038 square feet, which is almost three square feet. If calculated based on two million square feet, it is six million.
The price of a famous painting is not calculated in this way. With Han Kongque's knowledge, he naturally knew that although this painting was a cold relief picture, its value was definitely not lower than the "Withered Tree and Bird Picture".
You must know that "The Picture of Birds and Birds on a Dry Tree" is one of Tang Bohu's masterpieces, and it is now in the Shanghai Museum. Such a famous painting cannot be bought even if you have money.
"You give me a price. As long as it's suitable, I'll take it." Liu Mingyu was not sloppy and calculated very well.
Han Kongque shook his head and said: "I also like this painting, so..."
Han Kongque did not say anything further, but his meaning was very clear. Without a sufficient price, he would not be able to sell this painting. After all, he really liked it.
Of course, everyone in his office likes this painting very much. Whether it is Liu Mingyu who knows how to paint, or Cheng Jun and Jiang Lin who don’t know how to paint, they also like this painting very much. Good things are good.
, whether you understand it or not, you can make people like it.
"One million, it's hard to buy something you like if you have money, and it's not easy to come across a fine ink painting that you like. Although this painting is not signed, based on the painting skills, I think it is worth one million." Liu Mingyu said.
Liu Mingyu made a direct bid, but he also pointed out that the painting was not signed after all, and it could not prove which celebrity's calligraphy and painting it was, so the price was already sky-high. I hope Han Peacock would not raise the price.
