Chapter 151 Don’t look at it, this painting is just a gimmick
"I'm convinced. The ancestors of Uncle Chen Chixia are so awesome. Are the Song Dynasty paintings just collected as junk?"
As soon as Shen Yu saw the tatters of the calligraphy and painting, he knew that his ancestors had made a mistake. Otherwise, Dong Bangda's paintings would not have been preserved so well, while the real Song paintings were preserved as tatters.
In other words, it is not considered a collection at all. Collection means that antiques are not easily shown to others, and good things must be hidden. No one questions this painting even if it is a rag.
"According to Uncle Chen's wishes, this painting is going to be given to me as a supplement, but if I really take his painting, this is really unjustifiable, but what should I do? I can't push out the business I got. Right?"
Shen Yu's personality followed that of his grandfather Zhonglou, and he was kind-hearted. If his father Shen Sanyun were to be here instead, three times five times two would be enough. Since it is an additional head, then accept it.
Anyway, it was you who sent it yourself, and I wasn’t the one who deceived you. I am always justified wherever you go.
Then Dong Bangda's "Returning at Dusk in the Cloud Mountains" sold for 200,000 yuan, and Doucai Tianzi Guan gave him Lao Chen 50,000 yuan at most, and then sent him away.
Make a lot of money by yourself, and do whatever you want to do.
"Little brother, this painting is just an addition to the first two antiques. You don't have to look at it carefully. It doesn't cost you a penny..." Chen Chixia reminded him when he saw Shen Yu was silent for a long time.
"May I ask you about Geng?"
Chen Chixia: "I am 47 years old this year."
"You are only a few years younger than my father, but you don't dare to differ in seniority. My name is Shen Yu. You can just call me by my name." Shen Yu explained.
"Okay, Xiao Shen, what do you think of this painting "Yunshan Returns at Dusk"? Do you still like it?" Chen Chixia asked what was most anxious in his heart. He came to Chuzhou this time mainly to sell this painting. There is a reason why it costs 500,000 yuan for an authentic painting by Dong Bangda.
Because he used his mobile phone to search for a lot of auction prices of Dong Bangda's calligraphy and paintings, many of which had high prices, but most of the ones he could search were between two million and five million, but he was already very happy.
But he took the painting and excitedly went to a well-known auction company in Chuzhou. The other party looked at the painting and said it had an estimated value of 800,000, and it might not be sold.
Then the other party gave him data. Dong Bangda is a prolific painter. From the 1990s to now, the number of his works in major auctions is almost 300, and in the end about 180 pieces were sold.
Dong Bangda is the Qing Dynasty court painter with the largest number of auctions and transactions.
But there is one thing. The total transaction volume of Dong Bangda's calligraphy and paintings is less than 200 million, which is evenly distributed to each painting, which is more than 1 million.
Of course, the other party also made it clear that some of them were auction prices in the 1990s and 2000s, and have now appreciated in value.
But when Chen Chixia heard this, his heart dropped. Their commission was 15% of the transaction price. Of course, this included catalog production fees, appraisal fees, appraisal fees, etc. The above miscellaneous fees were not charged.< /p>
If the auction fails, 3% of the reserve price will be charged as a missed auction fee. If you want to be auctioned, you must become a member. The membership fee is 150,000, otherwise you will not be able to auction it at all. Come on, it is better to go to an antique store to sell it to save your worries.
……
"To be honest, you are a pretty good painter." Shen Yu said seriously.
Chen Chixia immediately asked: "Xiao Shen, are you sure you bought it?"
"OK!"
"Since you decided to buy it, hehe..." Chen Chixia laughed dryly, which means that since you said you bought it, you should give the money quickly.
Shen Yu understood what Chen Chixia meant, and he nodded: "Okay, let's go get the money right now!"
"The Tianzi Jar is worth 150,000 yuan, the Dusk Return Picture is worth 500,000 yuan, and the last painting without a name is given to you, Xiao Shen, for a total of 650,000 yuan!" Chen Chixia said simply.
"Okay, then 650,000!" Shen Yu tried his best to keep his facial expression calm, but he felt that if he looked in the mirror now, the expression on his face would definitely not be that good-looking.
That unknown Song Dynasty painting may look tattered, but if the original artist could be found, its price would easily exceed tens of millions.
Ancient paintings are not afraid of being damaged, but they are afraid of being unreal. No matter how bad the original painting is, it can be framed as new as long as you are willing to spend money.
Even if it is not framed, the original artist of the last Panasonic chess picture cannot be found, but this kind of ancient landscape and figure painting that has lasted for thousands of years can easily be sold for two to three million by the artist alone. This leak made Shen Yu pick it up and became panicked. .
Anonymous paintings of landscapes and figures are the most valuable of all anonymous paintings. The price of calligraphy and painting is the highest, followed by figure paintings, flowers, birds, bamboos and stones, fish, insects, animals, melons and fruits are relatively cheap.
Mi Fu said in the history of painting, "The figures of cows and horses are exactly alike, and landscapes cannot be copied. Landscapes require the painter to have landscapes in his mind before he can paint them well."
Xue Gang, a Ming Dynasty man, made it very clear in his book "Tianjuetang Biyu", "Painting, only landscapes have profound meanings and endless meanings. People, animals, insects, flowers and plants, many of them are painters. Although they are exquisite, Easy to see at a glance."
Tang Zhiqi, a calligrapher and painter of the Ming Dynasty, also directly pointed out that "the landscapes, figures, flowers, birds, grass and insects painted in the first painting are not as elegant as the landscapes."
Strictly speaking, this anonymous painting "Panasonic Game Picture" can be regarded as the second most popular figure painting, but it also has landscape elements and can be regarded as a landscape figure painting.
If Liu Cai's calligraphy cannot be found in Liu Cai's "Picture of Fish Playing in the Water", even if his painting skills are excellent, it will not be able to compare with this "Picture of Matsushita Playing Chess" in the current market.
"Uncle Chen, you didn't go to other stores to inquire about the price of these two paintings?" Shen Yu asked, pretending to be nonchalant.
Chen Chixia thought Shen Yu was too expensive, so he quickly said: "No, absolutely not. I went to several stores, mainly because I wanted to sell the Tianzi jar, but I was kicked out of them all.
"If you don't chase me away, you'll give me three to five hundred dollars. It's like sending a beggar away. I'm so angry that I just turn away and leave. How can I still show them paintings?
"But don't worry, Xiao Shen, I guarantee with my personality that the Doucai Tianzi jar and these two paintings are handed down from my ancestors, and I still have several antiques handed down from my ancestors at home. If there is a lie, let me tell you I’ll pay for whatever I do in the future.”
Shen Yu rolled up the two paintings slowly and said at the same time: "I believe it, I absolutely believe it. I think I have some eyesight, otherwise I wouldn't spend money to buy your antiques. I just don't know what you did before, Uncle Chen." What company is it from?"
Chen Chixia sighed: "I am from Chen County, and I am in the tea business. I deeply process the wild tea from Yunwu Mountain in Chen County and sell it to other places.
"They are all wild teas, but the ones from Yunwu Mountain are not as good as those from Dongji Mountain. Do you think it makes people angry? People who do business in Dongji Mountain wild tea don't make a fortune, but local people in Chuzhou can still make money by drinking it. Liu Yuan, I'm lucky, I'll just lose my pants."
Chen Chixia couldn't stop saying this. He originally opened a tobacco, alcohol, sugar and tea convenience store. Because he did well and operated with integrity, he opened several branches in Chen County. He was the first to earn a million in the county. Batch people.
After getting money, Chen Chixia was no longer satisfied with opening a small shop to make a small amount of money. He saw someone in Chuzhou developing the wild tea business in Dongji Mountain. They were doing very well and actually made a lot of money.
He is a tea connoisseur. He feels that the wild tea from Yunwu Mountain in Chen County is much better in appearance and taste than the wild tea from Dongji Mountain. Moreover, Yunwu Mountain has a radius of more than 300 miles and there are countless wild tea trees in the mountain, so he invested in it. I rented a factory building and bought a production line with more than 4 million yuan, and started deep processing of wild tea.
What I did was dumbfounded. People outside the province simply don’t recognize the unknown tea. There are dozens or hundreds of famous teas. Who would buy your unknown wild tea?
The province does not recognize it, including Dongjiang. Some people drink it in Chuzhou, but most of them drink wild tea from Dongji Mountain.
Chen County is a county under the jurisdiction of Chuzhou, but the Yunwu Mountain with an altitude of more than 600 meters is just a small mound in the eyes of Chuzhou people. It is not worthy of carrying shoes for the nearly 2,000-meter Dongji Mountain. Where can I get any good tea? ?
In the end, no one wanted to sell it at the cost price. It was really a loss and I had to pay for it.
In the end, I had to stop the production line and sell two houses to pay off debts. I was so depressed that I had to sell antiques passed down by my ancestors to make a living.
"Buy it first, and then give the other party some compensation." Shen Yu can only do this now. Anyone who opens a store and does business wants to make money. Having said that, these three antiques have gone elsewhere, let alone 650,000, 350,000. It will definitely sell.
The ancient concept of tattered coats is the same today. Most antique shops collect antiques at extremely low prices.
