Many people know that Jin Zhengqing collected the "Picture Scroll of Zhang Guolao Meeting the Ming Emperor", but this painting only has the first layer, but they have never heard of it.
Huo Xinjue glanced at Jiang Zhihao, and then asked: "Mr. Jin, are you sure that is Ren Renfa's genuine product?"
Hearing this, Jin Zhengqing suddenly became sullen and said, "You mean, I can't even tell the difference between true and false paintings that I have collected for many years!"
Seeing that the old man was angry, others quickly tried to persuade him: "Mr. Jin, that's not what Mr. Huo meant. It's just that it's always good to have more eyes on this kind of thing. In this business of collecting, there will always be times when we are careful."
It's okay if he doesn't explain, but the more he explains, the angrier Jin Zhengqing becomes.
Seeing that he was about to roll up his sleeves and leave, a man named Ji Zimo said: "Mr. Jin said that he got the complete picture scroll. I believe it. I just don't understand why Mr. Jin brought the seller with us to a private party."
Come here, it’s impossible that he has other paintings that he wants to sell to us, right?”
Several others immediately looked at Jiang Zhihao, but Jin Zhengqing didn't know how to explain it.
He brought Jiang Zhihao here to show off his paintings. Now when people asked why he brought people to a private party, he really couldn't answer.
At this time, Jiang Zhihao suddenly said: "Mr. Ji is right, I do have a painting to sell to you."
Ji Zimo was stunned. He was actually just asking casually, but he didn't expect Jiang Zhihao to actually climb up the pole. Even Jin Zhengqing was surprised, not only because Jiang Zhihao said he wanted to sell Ji Zimo's paintings, but also because Jiang Zhihao came here for the first time.
Recognize Ji Zimo's identity.
Could it be said that he inquired beforehand?
Ji Zimo looked at Jiang Zhihao and asked, "I wonder which painting you want to sell me? Is it also a painting that has been unframed?"
"That's not true. I heard that Mr. Ji has been paying a lot of money for Gu Kaizhi's Luo Shen Fu painting. I wonder if it is true?" Jiang Zhihao asked.
Ji Zimo was stunned again, and then laughed dumbly: "You can't say that you have the authentic painting in your hand."
"I don't really have the original, but I do have a copy of it from the late Song Dynasty." Jiang Zhihao said.
Gu Kaizhi was one of the most famous painters in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He was also known as the three masters, namely painting master, literary master and crazy master.
There were many celebrities in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the most famous of which was Wang Xizhi, the sage of calligraphy, followed by Gu Kaizhi, the three masters, and Xie Daoyun, a talented woman who chanted xu. In addition to official history, there are also folk rumors about Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, who were also in that period.
s story.
In this era of gatherings of elites, Gu Kaizhi's ability to stand out is not unfounded.
His painting of Luo Shen Fu is one of the top ten famous paintings throughout the ages. Unfortunately, the original painting has long disappeared in the long history. The best copy version in later generations is the copy from the Song Dynasty. Including the one collected by the National Museum, it is also one of the four major copies from the Song Dynasty.
.
Ji Zimo knew that it was unlikely to find the original painting, and even if he found it, he would not be able to afford it, so he settled for a Song Dynasty copy.
However, such paintings are also very valuable, and even if you have money, you may not be able to buy them.
There are only a few of them in existence, and most of them are collected by major museums.
It was only when Jiang Zhihao was sixty years old that he learned that there was a real estate developer who accidentally discovered a basement under the altar. There were many antiques hidden under the basement, including a Song Dynasty copy of the Luo Shen Fu.
Later, the real estate developer and the Gao family fought a lawsuit for nearly 20 years, and until Jiang Zhihao's death, there was no result.
Jiang Zhihao also recognized Ji Zimo's identity. This middle-aged man who likes to grow a beard is not a traditional collector, but a veritable entrepreneur.
