Chapter 232 Red and White Hibiscus

: Chapter 4 arrives

In the last five minutes, if there are still Tibetan friends who are interested in communicating, please take the time to hand over the exchange list to the staff around you. After five minutes, this communication will be deemed to have been abandoned. Suzuki Kyo will confirm for the last time. At this time,

He has already received twenty-three cardboards in his hand, and some people filled in two cardboards in order to increase the winning rate.

At the last minute, there was still someone willing to exchange without Suzuki Kyo making the final announcement.

All the people present who are willing to exchange have handed in their cardboards, and no one is adding any more. Those who have handed in their cardboards looked at each other, and most of them are very confident in the exchange antiques they submitted.

It seems that Mitsui-kun is bound to win. I wonder what kind of antiques you offer for exchange? Taro Aikawa walked to Mitsui Sumitomo and asked.

Hehe, I can’t say that I’m sure to win, but I’m just playing around with it. Aikawa-kun seems to have made an extraordinary move, and he seems to be sure to get the first Tenmu lamp. Mitsui Sumitomo laughed and said. In this situation

No one wants to talk too much about the occasion, otherwise it will only be more embarrassing if they fail in the end. After all, everyone here today has a collection that they are proud of, and no one dares to be better than the other.

.

Now let’s see how Yu Fei chooses.

Mr. Yu Fei, the owner of the Youqing Tianmu Zhan, came on stage. Hearing Suzuki Kyo's greeting, Yu Fei quickly swallowed the food in his mouth, raised his hand, and said vaguely: Here it comes, here it is, here it is.

Yu Fei's vulgar appearance made almost everyone feel that if the Tianmu Zhan fell into the hands of such a person, the pearl would be darkened.

Mr. Yu Fei, here is the exchange list given by all collectors. Please take a look. You can only choose one of them to exchange. You have twenty minutes to choose, and then you need to tell us your decision and with whom.

Exchange. Or not exchange for now. Although the rules were set by Yu Fei, Suzuki Kyo still explained them in detail.

Thank you Yu Fei for taking the stack of cardboard from Suzuki Kyo's hand. Although these cardboards are light, every name written on them represents an extraordinary and precious antique, some of which are worth tens of millions.

After a cursory glance at the list of items on the cardboard, although Yu Fei had already been mentally prepared, he was still shocked because the items on the cardboard were beyond his expectation.

There are more than forty precious antiques written on the twenty-three pieces of cardboard, covering almost everything from bronzes to jade, porcelain, furniture, calligraphy and painting.

And almost everything is very famous. Now Yu Fei really wants to move the two boxes of Tianmu porcelain and replace everything here one by one. But he is just thinking about it. If he really does this

If we do, the price of Tenmoku porcelain will drop very quickly. After all, things are rare and valuable. No matter how precious the works of the ancestors of Japanese porcelain are, they may not be as valuable if they become mass merchandise.

Several of them made Yu Fei very tempted.

One is the Qianlong enamel Ronghua Wealth Lantern Zun. This thing once sold for a sky-high price of 84 million at Zhongmao Shengjia's auction, which can buy four Chenghua Doucai chicken cups.

One is a Xuande blue and white cloud and dragon pattern bowl in the Ming Dynasty. Although the price of this thing is lower than that of Ronghua Fuguizun, it still costs more than 30 million. Yu Fei once saw this bowl in the collection room of Sumitomo Mitsui. It seems that it should be

That's Mitsui Sumitomo's bid.

It stands to reason that for a collection worth more than 30 million yuan, such a bid is indeed not low. Moreover, Mitsui Sumitomo must have obviously learned about Yu Fei's preferences from his daughter, so among the several alternative collections given,

Porcelain is like calligraphy and painting. But obviously, Mitsui Sumitomo's courage is still a bit small. Of course, this is what Yu Fei's purpose is. Yu Fei's approach is based on the secret bidding method of Pingzhou Public Market, in order to get what he wants

Bidders tend to raise the price a bit higher. In fact, the price offered by Mitsui Sumitomo is already very high. But compared with the previous Ronghua Wealth Lantern Zun, it is still far behind.

Well, Yu Fei was stunned when he saw the words on this cardboard.

Different from other cardboards, this cardboard only has five short Chinese characters: red and white hibiscus picture.

Is this true? Yu Fei's breathing suddenly became rapid.

The reason is very simple. This picture of red and white hibiscus is so precious. This picture was painted by the Southern Song Dynasty painter Li Di. Li Di is good at depicting flowers, birds and animals, and the picture of red and white hibiscus is Li Di's highest masterpiece. The hibiscus is the symbol of the painting.

The flowers of Drunken Hibiscus are white at first, and then gradually become red. The description of the painting is extremely realistic, the brushwork is slender, and the color levels are subtle, so it is full of interest. The picture space that makes good use of the white space also looks natural and quiet, and is known as the Song Dynasty painting

The first masterpiece of flower and bird painting.

This painting was originally hidden in the Old Summer Palace. After the Old Summer Palace was burned down in 1860, it was plundered and lost overseas. It should now be collected in the Tokyo National Museum, Japan. Yu Fei just saw it with his own eyes when he visited the National Museum with his delegation in Tokyo. So,

Is the red and white hibiscus picture here the same as the one in the Tokyo National Museum? Or is this person simply making fun of himself?

Yu Fei raised his head and said loudly: I wonder which gentleman wrote the red and white hibiscus picture?

With the red and white hibiscus picture, the entire hall suddenly became commotion, and almost everyone's eyes turned to one person, and that was Ueno Seiji.

Sure enough, Ueno Seiji stood up and smiled slightly: I, Ueno Seiji

Mitsui Sumitomo shook his head and smiled bitterly. He knew that he had no chance with the first Tianmu lamp. Originally, he thought that the Xuande blue and white cloud and dragon pattern bowl would be the best, but in terms of historical and artistic value and price, the Xuande blue and white cloud and dragon pattern bowl was inferior to the red and white one.

The hibiscus picture is far different from the one. What I didn't expect was that Ueno Seiji would be so generous. This can't help but surprise people. As long as Fei's head is not caught in the door, he will definitely choose the red and white hibiscus picture. The value of this picture is simply

It's immeasurable.

In fact, Mitsui Sumitomo did not know that even if there was no red and white hibiscus painting, his Xuande blue and white cloud and dragon pattern bowl would not be available.

It turned out to be Mr. Ueno, disrespectful. Yu Fei did not beat around the bush and said directly: As far as I know, the red and white hibiscus picture should still be collected in the Tokyo National Museum, so what about the red and white hibiscus picture of Mr. Ueno?

Which one is it? Or maybe it's a copy of a later generation's work?

Ueno Seiji's body looked a little thin, and he didn't look like a wealthy old man. Therefore, Yu Fei thought that he was deliberately amusing himself. He couldn't help but be a little disappointed. National treasure-level antiques are not so easy to obtain.

This red and white hibiscus picture is the same as the one in the National Museum. Ueno Seiji said.

Why did Yu Fei think for a moment that the old man was stupid? That picture is in the museum. How could you exchange it for stealing it? Even if you could really steal it, we wouldn't dare to accept it.

As if seeing Yu Fei's confusion, Suzuki Kyo explained: Most of the Chinese paintings and calligraphy works in the Tokyo National Museum were donated or exhibited by Mr. Seiji Ueno.

It suddenly dawned on Yu Fei that this was the case.

I'm sorry, Mr. Ueno, Yu Fei was rude. Yu Fei apologized quickly.

It doesn't matter, I didn't know that Mr. Yu Fei's decision was ignored by Ueno Seiji, and he didn't take Yu Fei's attitude to heart.

Congratulations, Mr. Ueno, your conditions make it impossible for me to refuse Yu Fei’s heartfelt words.

Originally, Yu Fei just wanted to exchange Tianmu porcelain for a few precious antiques. He never thought that he could catch such a big fish. Li Di's red and white hibiscus picture was hard to find. He did it without any effort. I really don’t know what to say.

Some people may also say that it is too early to be happy now that the painting has not been obtained yet. What if Ueno Seiji regrets it again?

In fact, such worries are completely unnecessary. Everyone present has a good background. If their reputation is even more important than their own lives, no one will talk nonsense here. This is why everyone present Everyone only needs to write down what is being exchanged, and there is no need to bring the physical objects to the site.

If they dare not follow the agreement, it will be a very serious blow to their credibility, which they cannot afford. To be continued...
