Zhou Lechi's psychological expectation for this "Jing Fubo Temple Poem" is tens of millions, or hundreds of millions.
For him, tens of millions or hundreds of millions, although it is relatively large, is very distressing.
But it was still within the range that he could accept. If it was given to Ye Chen, it would be given to Ye Chen. He could still bear it, but no matter how high it was, Zhou Lechi couldn't bear it.
"Well, in 2010, Huang Tingjian's "Inscription on Pillar Pillars" was sold for a sky-high price of more than 400 million, which shocked the Chinese antique industry."
Master Qi answered seriously:
"After so many years, the value of Huang Tingjian's authentic works is getting higher and higher, and this "Poetry of the Jingfubo Shrine" is no lower than the artistic value and historical value of "The Pillar Inscription", or even a little higher."
"If it were put at a large auction, I estimate that the transaction price of this calligraphy might be around one billion."
About a billion?!!!
One billion.
After listening to Master Qi's words, Zhou Lechi's heartbeat seemed to have stopped all of a sudden.
One billion!
Damn it!!!
Although his family is very rich, he is just a younger member of the family and has not yet taken over any business, and even if he takes over, he may not be able to make one billion at once.
If he had a billion dollars in his hands, he could spend it as he pleased and become one of the focal points in his circle.
Because he was very strictly disciplined by his family, he didn't even have more than one billion in his hands, let alone one billion.
The pocket money his father gave him every month was only eight or nine million, and sometimes it was less, only four or five million.
One billion, it would be great if this billion was his.
But now, he gave such a huge wealth to Ye Chen in vain.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!
Zhou Lechi was roaring in his heart, and his heart was bleeding.
He is just a fool, a fool!
"Xiaoye, congratulations, you have an authentic painting of Huang Tingjian."
Mr. Zhou spoke.
Since Sun Tzu said it, let alone one billion, even if there were several billion more, he would give it to Ye Chen.
To Mr. Zhou, one billion is nothing, their family's reputation is more important.
Ye Chen still wanted to politely decline. After all, in a sense, this calligraphy could be regarded as Mr. Zhou's.
But in the end, with Mr. Zhou's insistence and understanding of Mr. Zhou's deeper meaning, Ye Chen accepted it.
Because of this incident, Master Qi admired Ye Chen very much and even wanted to recommend Ye Chen to join the Chinese Appraisal Association, but Ye Chen declined.
He has joined many associations and is too lazy to join any more.
Finally, after Master Qi added Ye Chen's contact information, he took the initiative to leave. Of course, when leaving, Master Qi also took away the "Poetry of Jingfubo Shrine" with him.
This "Poetry of Jingfubo Shrine" needs to be combined into one and framed, but Ye Chen doesn't know anyone in this field.
As a professional, Master Qi knew many master craftsmen in the field of mounting. In order to make friends with Ye Chen, he took the initiative to step forward.
Moreover, in front of Mr. Zhou, even if he lent Master Qi a hundred courages, he would not dare to make any small move.
So Ye Chen handed "Jing Fubo Temple Poems" to Master Qi and asked Master Qi to help find someone to frame it. When the mounting was completed, Master Qi personally delivered it to Ye Chen.
At this time, the food was ready, Mr. Zhou enthusiastically invited Ye Chen to have dinner, and little Xinxin jumped to follow.
In the living room, only Zhou Lechi was left in a mess. Although Zhou Lechi also sat down under the supervision of Mr. Zhou, he didn't have the slightest appetite.
After passing a billion, Zhou Lechi may not have much appetite for a long time after that.
After eating and staying for a while, Ye Chen left.
The next morning, Ye Chen unexpectedly received a call from his counselor. The counselor asked Ye Chen if he was interested in participating in a calligraphy and painting competition held by their college.
Ye Chen had something important to do today, and he was too lazy to compete with the "children". Just when Ye Chen was about to refuse, the counselor explained again.
"I'm not asking you to compete, I'm inviting you to be a judge in the competition."
"Be a judge?"
Ye Chen was surprised by the counselor's words.
"I heard that you are the director of the Chinese Calligraphers Association. You can't refuse."
There are not many professors who are very good at calligraphy in their college, and only one of them is a member of the Chinese Calligraphy Association.
When the counselor learned that Ye Chen was actually the director of the Chinese Calligraphers Association, he immediately reported it to the leader. Knowing Ye Chen's identity, the leader immediately agreed.
At such a young age, I became a director of the Chinese Calligraphy Association, which is amazing.
Ye Chen is very qualified to be a judge for a school calligraphy competition.
Ye Chen didn't expect that the counselor actually knew her identity. She probably learned it from the Academy of Fine Arts of Shanghai University.
The counselor warmly invited Ye Chen, and it was difficult for Ye Chen to refuse. He asked for leave before, and the counselor readily agreed.
After Ye Chen agreed, the counselor immediately reported to the leader, who also arranged for his staff to handle various details of the calligraphy and painting competition.
That afternoon, the list of judges for the college's calligraphy and painting competition came out.
There are two first judges of the competition, one is the dean of their college, and the other is Ye Chen.
When the list of judges was announced, among the names of leaders, teachers and professors, Ye Chen seemed particularly different.
So when the students inquired and found out that Ye Chen was actually a student, the whole college went crazy.
The classmates in Ye Chen's class didn't quite believe their eyes. Ye Chen was actually ranked as the "first judge" like the dean. This was incredible.
In addition to being a great man, Ye Chen is also very good at Go and computers. They know this.
But when will Ye Chen be able to calligraphy and painting, and even become a judge of their college's calligraphy and painting competition as a student?
Is Ye Chen omnipotent? What else can he not do?
Many other students in the college were dissatisfied.
A student is actually "on equal footing" with the dean and is the first judge of the competition. Why?
So various speculations began in some groups, forums, forums and other places in the college.
"It's unbelievable that a junior student actually serves as a judge for us juniors."
"What does the academy think? Why can Ye Chen become a judge, and why is he the first judge?!"
"Tch, it must be through the back door, relying on connections. It is said that Ye Chen is very rich."
"I think this Ye Chen must have an unusual relationship with the dean."
"I don't understand, what qualifications does Ye Chen have to be the first judge of the competition?"
Various rumors spread, and even in official groups such as grade groups, some people complained openly.
Ye Chen has a lot of groups, and he has blocked many of them long ago, only checking them occasionally.
Ye Chen didn't know about these discussions. Today, he had a more important thing to do.
