The three people entered the gate. When they arrived at the second door, they showed their IDs to the security guard at the door, and then walked in.
As soon as you enter the auction venue, the first thing you see is a hall, which displays several works to be auctioned this time. There is a large glass cabinet in the second row of the main entrance, which is the second best seat in the entire exhibition hall.
Li Lin sent three works by Fang Yi, and in the middle was a bottle from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. Of course, this person's belongings were also the most expensive. The bottle's estimated value was 1.9 million.
Zhu Zheng stretched his head and looked at the red bottle inside the glass and said, "This bottle looks really good!" The white bottle has a red dragon on it, and the color is very beautiful and eye-catching.
Zhang Xu came just to watch. Hearing this, he said to Zhu Zheng: "You are considered a valuable person. If you like it, just buy it!".
Upon hearing this, Zhu Zheng immediately shook his head and whispered to Zhang Xu: "I can't afford it. I have already made plans to buy a villa with my money now! Then I will get married and start a business. I can only do so much for one painting."
Don’t spend your money carelessly! When the time comes and you’re not sure whether you’ll take advantage of it or not, you’d better ask some of your brothers to chip in!”.
"You can tell me then!" Zhang Xu nodded and said casually. Zhang Xu was not worried at all about Zhu Zheng borrowing money. He had no money to pay for it with paintings. Boss Zhang was not in a hurry anyway.
!
While the two were chatting, they heard someone next to them say: "Teacher Zhu and Boss Zhang are also here!".
Zhang Xu and Zhu Zheng turned around and saw that the person who was speaking was An Xiaojun. They both knew An Xiaojun. They had a good relationship with the two bosses of Jinpeng. As one of the Seven Talents of Shicheng, Zhu Zheng and An Xiaojun
I also have one or two works by Zhu Zheng in my hands. The two of them naturally know each other. And Zhang Xu just hangs out with people like Zhou Tong and gets to know many people in the calligraphy and painting circle.
"Who is this?" An Xiaojun looked at Li Lin next to the two of them.
Zhang Xu quickly said: "This is my classmate, Li Lin!".
"He is my senior brother! I used to be at the same table as Fang Yi!" Zhu Zheng introduced him.
"Nice to meet you!" An Xiaojun extended his hand to Li Lin: "Where can I find a job?".
Li Lin didn't know anything else. He had been in society for more than ten years, so he knew a little bit about human affairs. And although he didn't know what An Xiaojun did, judging from his temperament and tone of voice, he knew his net worth.
You can't live with ten or twenty million. After taking one look at An Xiaojun and shaking his hand, Li Lin defined An Xiaojun in his mind.
In fact, this definition is for nothing, except for a few people. Who has a net worth of one or two million and comes to the auction to show off! Those who can afford these auction items, most of them
No one is short of money. Or as ordinary people say, if you have too much money, you will burn it!
"Now I have quit my job and stay at home, and I am preparing to find a job!" Li Lin told the truth.
An Xiaojun doesn't think what Li Lin said is true. He has a good relationship with classmate Fang Yi and seems to have a good relationship with Zhang Xu and Zhu Zheng. Although such a person may not be very rich, as long as he can seize some opportunities, he will be a little bit rich.
Think about it, you won't be too poor in this life. At least you have a car, a house, and a little savings. What are you doing with your face open? Isn't it just a relationship!
"Mr. An is very famous now!" Zhang Xu introduced to Li Lin: "To say that we have Fang Yi's paintings in our hands, it is because of the loyalty of our friends and brothers. That's what Mr. An did.
Discernment! Fang Yi was not very angry at that time. Mr. An dared to buy Fang Yi's paintings at the price of Mr. Liu Hongshuo's works. Then when Fang Yi became famous, no one wanted 200,000 yuan, right?
Mr. An clapped his hands and bought it immediately!..."
Zhang Xu introduced An Xiaojun's current reputation to Li Lin. It was based on his two works of buyer Yi. Now An Xiaojun has a little reputation in the circle, and everyone thinks that his works are accurate!
Some people will follow him from time to time and buy some works by unknown painters. Moreover, many of the works have slightly increased in value after one or two years, so their reputation will naturally increase.
He knew that Zhang Xu was here to give himself face and praise himself to his new friends. However, when An Xiaojun thought of this incident, he was not just proud. Not only could it be said that he was not too proud, but he could also be said to want to cry without tears.
And I couldn’t help but let others mention it. I said that I wanted to save 200,000 yuan. Why don’t I want to be laughed to death by others? Naturally, it’s not easy to explain the reasons in detail to others. You said that every time you hear someone say,
Taking this matter to praise himself, An Xiaojun knew whether to cry or laugh.
Others regard An Xiaojun's two sales of Fang Yi's works as the most successful investments, but An Xiaojun doesn't think so. Every time, he thinks that he doesn't want to spend hundreds of thousands more, even now
Spending 100 million cannot make up for the mistakes made at that time.
Fang Yi's four sets of paintings that used to cost 200,000 pieces, now have three hanging in the stone art Liu Hongshuo Fang Yi's exhibition hall. These three works have become an eternal pain in An Xiaojun's heart!
"What did you three come here to see, this dragon bottle?" An Xiaojun didn't want to talk about this topic, so he quickly changed the subject.
"No! The two of us came here with a friend, and he gave us three sketches by Fang Yi." Zhu Zheng explained to An Xiaojun.
"Oh! Are these three paintings sent by Mr. Li?" An Xiaojun glanced at Li Lin and thought in his mind: Fang Yi's works were sent to him? He is Fang Yi's deskmate, will he have any in his hands?
Is there any gouache from Fang Yi at that time?
Thinking of this, he asked Li Lin: "Does Mr. Li still have some of Mr. Fang Yi's works in his collection? Can you let me take a look?".
Li Lin shook his head and said a little embarrassedly: "I don't have gouache or anything like that. I only have a few detailed sketches. I grabbed these from Fang Yi's notebook!".
"I may have to do some somersaults when I shoot the three things you gave me today!" Now that he understood the person in front of him, An Xiaojun mentioned that it didn't cost him much effort anyway, and it could also deepen the favorability of the three people in front of him.
, why not buy and sell when you can make a sure profit without losing money?
Zhang Xu opened his mouth and asked in a low voice: "Why? Do you have special news?".
"There's no big news. I just know a few people in the business world! And I usually keep a low profile in front of the media. As for how much money I have on hand, it's hard to say." An Xiaojun whispered to the three of them: "My left hand
Over there, there is a tall, fat man named Xu Guangyong, and the hairless guy next to him is named Xie Hongjun. The two of them seem to be interested in the three works you sent this time. The other one is Liu Yue, and the other one is Liu Yue.
The thick-waisted master!".
Zhang Xu and the others followed the direction An Xiaojun said and immediately saw the two people introduced earlier. At a slightly off-center corner of the room, they saw the nonchalant Liu Yue that An Xiaojun had mentioned.
When An Xiaojun mentioned the matter like this, Li Lin's favorable impression of An Xiaojun really improved a lot. When people knew the news, they told him casually.
An Xiaojun came to the auction this time. At first, his main interest was in the three paintings sent by Li Lin. However, when he saw Xie Hongjun, An Xiaojun gave up and wanted to compete.
It's not that An Xiaojun can't afford to spend millions or tens of millions to buy something, but
It was more than 1.6 million, and An Xiaojun thought it was not worth it. Because these three paintings were Fang Yi's sketches. Although Fang Yi's sketches were not much worse than ordinary people's sketches, they were still sketches.
The basics of painting are not Fang Yi's oil paintings or gouache paintings.
From An Xiaojun's point of view, it makes sense. However, An Xiaojun did not understand why he lost Fang Yi's four-part painting! In some respects, An Xiaojun was cautious.
But many times, being cautious is equivalent to being conservative. At that time, An Xiaojun thought that Fang Yi's work was not worth 200,000 yuan! What about now? I regretted it so much that I had no place to complain.
The art market, according to common parlance, is the status of the artist, plus the status of the work in the artist's works. In other words, whether it is considered a representative work, it is more valuable. In other words, such works can reflect the artist.
The value in the market, but many times the universal law is not accurate. For example, Van Gogh, Gauguin, and Cézanne are among the three masters of post-impressionism. The prices of the works of the other two and Van Gogh are
The difference is still quite big.
In addition, there is another very important condition, which is the issue of rarity! Nowadays, Fang Yi’s works are almost non-existent in the domestic market. Even if there are some in hand, such as Li Lin, they can be as good as possible.
The rest are kept in the stone art and high school museums. These two houses account for an absolute share of Fang Yi's works. There are also scattered ones, and the scattered ones are all
Therefore, most of Fang Yi's works were in high school. During his college years, almost few of them were in the hands of outsiders.
Of course, there is another way, which is to buy back Fang Yi's current works from abroad. An Xiaojun doesn't know, but Xu Guangyong and the three people who have participated in foreign auctions know how easy it is to buy back Fang Yi's current works.
, not to mention the large art museums with big shoulders and thick waists, foreign collectors are waiting for two works by Fang and Bo each year. To snatch food from the mouths of these foreign wolves, the pockets are really full of energy.
Yes, the capitalists in the old capitalist countries are still quite ferocious and cannot be considered paper tigers.
With the above two points, the number of Fang Yi's works in China is already huge. It can be said to be very rare now. If it weren't for a few sketches, people like Xu Guangyong would not be given away.
Invite.
In the past, when these people thought about Fang Yi's works, they would take pictures of them and get angry when they got them back. However, they can't wait and wait for this thing. The only ones on the market are fake. Now there is no such thing in the world.
Among the thousand so-called works by Fang Yi that passed through Lawrence Gallery and Jinpeng Gallery, not one of them was authentic.
Based on all the above situations, An Xiaojun, apart from buying two of Fang Yi’s works in the early days, his so-called value judgments on Fang Yi’s current works are completely wrong. The entire domestic market’s pursuit of Fang Yi’s works has been
Once formed, the price will naturally exceed many people's expectations. (To be continued...)
