Chapter 392 Song Dynasty Painting 'Eight Immortals Drinking'
Maybe it was because he had a clear understanding, but Shen Yu didn't even think about it. It must have been sent by his sister Qin.
I took out my phone and saw that it was indeed the WeChat message sent by Pei Yuqin.
Pei Yuqin: [Qinan, you have been on stage and looked at the paintings for so long. Is there something big missing in these four paintings?]
Shen Yu typed quickly and replied: [The person who knows me best is Sister Qin (smiley face). This time it was really a big mistake.
[Not to mention that one of the four paintings is a replica of Huang Biao, the last painting of the Eight Immortals Drinking is an authentic work by Xia Gui, one of the four masters of the Southern Song Dynasty.
[It’s just that I had a hunch. Not only did I see it, but at least one of the people on the stage also saw it. So even if I can get these four paintings in the end, the price will not be low. I also thought just now. After that, if I still can’t get the 20 million, I won’t follow you.]
Pei Yuqin: [Since it is Xia Gui’s original work, why not continue to follow?]
Shen Yu thought for a few seconds before explaining: [Although Xia Gui's original painting may be worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, sister Qin, you also know that I am a person who speaks lightly now. If I say that this painting is Xia Gui's original painting, it is probably worth too much. Not many people are convinced.
[For me, if the tens of millions of antiques cannot be sold as soon as possible, then my capital chain will be broken, and the consequences will be disastrous if the store does not have capital turnover.]
Pei Yuqin: [Looking at it this way, doesn’t it mean that Mr. Dong leaked the treasure this time?]
Shen Yu: [That’s it! Mr. Dong did leak the treasure, but Sister Qin, you have to keep the secret for me first. Don’t tell Mr. Qin first. I need to ask Mr. Wu first before making a decision.]
Pei Yuqin came over with a smile, [I understand what you mean, you want to ask Mr. Wu first if he wants to inform Mr. Dong about Mr. Dong leaking the treasure.
[Second, if you don’t continue to follow the bidding if it exceeds 20 million, and Mr. Wu also likes this painting, then Mr. Wu should take your place and continue to bid. After all, Mr. Wu recommends you to join the Dongjiang Collection Association, which is considered a great kindness. You have to return this favor.
[Third, only if the painting exceeds 20 million and you don’t follow the bidding, and Mr. Wu does not participate in the bidding, I will tell Mr. Qin to participate in the bidding, right?]
Shen Yu immediately sent a thumbs up.
Pei Yuqin: [Actually, it doesn’t have to be so troublesome. If Mr. Wu doesn’t plan to tell Mr. Dong about the leaked treasure, you can just bid until you buy these four paintings. You don’t have to worry about the money. It can be transferred to you at any time within 100 million. !】
Shen Yu passed with a touched expression.
Pei Yuqin immediately sent another important message, [I observed that you kept looking at the pale young man with a crew cut opposite you on the stage.
[His name is Zhang Qiyun, a Binhai native. He is the one who made the big guys in the Dongjiang Collection Association lose face. Mr. Wu tried his best to get you to join the Collection Association, and even brought you to the auction to gain knowledge, just to deal with him! You'd better be mentally prepared.
[By the way, he also has a family background. His grandfather is a famous antique appraisal master in Binhai. Of course, he is incomparable to Mr. Shen. This person is also born to eat antiques. Just like you, he was a teenager. You can identify ancient calligraphy and paintings.】
"It turns out it's him! Judging from the polite appearance of the other party, he shouldn't be someone who doesn't understand the world, is unruly and proud of his talents!"
Shen Yu suddenly realized that he was extremely moved at the same time. His sister Qin was so concerned only for himself, and he didn't know how to repay her.
Putting the phone away, Shen Yu took out an exquisite black leather wallet from his jacket pocket.
This was given to him by Pei Yuqin. There was no money in it, not even a dime in cash. There was only a very intimate photo of Shen Yu and Pei Yuqin.
The photo was taken when Shen Yu rescued Gu Qingqing from injury in Dongjiang and when Pei Yuqin went to Dongjiang Hospital to take care of him.
In the photo, Shen Yu is wearing a hospital gown but is in good spirits, while Pei Yuqin is sitting on the hospital bed, holding Shen Yu's arm affectionately and saying yes to the camera.
After gently wiping the photo with a handkerchief, Shen Yu closed the wallet and put it away carefully.
Except for the treasure-appraisal golden pupil, which was a secret that he would not tell anyone, Shen Yu felt that he had nothing to hide from Pei Yuqin.
Well, anything!
"Xiao Shen, why are you distracted?"
Mr. Wu's gentle voice came to Shen Yu's ears.
"Oh, it's okay, Mr. Wu."
Mr. Wu personally poured a cup of Dahongpao for Shen Yu, "Xiao Shen, you have been looking at the paintings for so long. Did Mr. Dong miss something?"
Shen Yu did not hesitate at all, "Yes, Mr. Wu, Mr. Dong must have leaked a treasure this time. Among these four paintings, the first two have their own shortcomings and are not very valuable for collection. The third is Huang Biao's authentic work, and the fourth is an authentic work by Huang Biao." Let me see, it should be half of the authentic work handed down by Xia Guixia, one of the four masters of the Southern Song Dynasty!"
When Mr. Wu heard this, his eyes flashed, "Xia Gui's original work? Can you be sure?"
Shen Yu nodded, "I'm sure, but there's one thing that Binhai's guy named Zhang Qiyun might have noticed too!"
Shen Yu originally thought that Mr. Wu would be surprised when he heard this, but Mr. Wu laughed softly and said, "Shen Yu, that Qin girl from Pei Shao's family is really nice to you. The real story about that boy from Zhang's family was told to you by that girl. Right?"
Shen Yu smiled awkwardly when he heard this and said nothing.
Mr. Wu smiled again and said: "Xiao Shen, you have actually won this game. Although I didn't go up to look at the paintings, I kept observing you two on the big screen. You two spent about the same amount of time looking at the first two paintings. After reading the third picture, you were over thirty seconds ahead of him, and for the fourth picture, you were two minutes ahead of him.
"And the boy from the Zhang family is obviously a little unsure, so you win this confrontation!"
Shen Yu never cared about whether he won or not. With the special ability of Golden Eyes, it would be difficult for him not to win.
What Shen Yu wants now is to tell Mr. Dong about Mr. Dong leaking the treasure through Mr. Wu.
After all, Mr. Dong gave him an authentic imitation of Wang Xizhi's "Quick Snow and Clear Tie" by Wen Zhengming worth tens of millions. Seeing that Mr. Dong had leaked the treasure without mentioning it, Shen Yu really couldn't turn the page.< / p>
Thinking of this, Shen Yu gritted his teeth fiercely, "Mr. Wu, tell him about Mr. Dong leaking the treasure! If I were to come, I'm afraid Mr. Dong won't be able to come to power."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
In fact, after telling Mr. Dong that he had discovered the treasure, Xia Gui's original painting "The Picture of the Eight Immortals Drinking" had no connection with Shen Yu.
Because there were at least ten people from Mr. Dong sitting in the audience, in order to ensure that those high-value lots with low reserve prices would not be bought at low prices.
To use an analogy, Mr. Dong’s base price for an authentic Tang Yin painting is 200,000.
The actual value of this painting is 20 million.
If the price reaches 10 million, the real buyers present will not increase the price. In this case, Mr. Dong will definitely have to lose money.
In order to prevent such a thing from happening, the audience must sit down and support me, at least the price must be increased to a reasonable price.
There is no need to doubt this, because no one will do a losing business.
"Hahahaha!"
When Mr. Wu heard what Shen Yu said, he first showed a hint of approval in his eyes, and then he quickly slapped the table and said, "Old Lin, come out, I said Xiao Shen will definitely not be greedy for this original painting of Xia Gui's Drinking the Eight Immortals!"< /p>
"Haha, you Wu Sanniu guessed it right again!"
As soon as he finished speaking, an old man in a suit who was about seventy years old and had an extraordinary bearing walked slowly in from behind the screen partition of the VIP table.
This old man is thin but has great energy. He is 1.8 meters tall and wears a tailor-made suit and a pair of shiny leather shoes. He is simply not too handsome.
Seeing Shen Yu, a smile suddenly appeared on his serious face, "Shen Yu, right? Come on, meet me, I'm Lin Qingzhi!"
Shen Yu's mind didn't turn around for a while. He knew that Lin Qingzhi was the current president of the Dongjiang Collection Association, but he had just taken office last year. Like Xiao Zhongying, he was also a wealthy businessman who had returned from abroad as the president of the collection association.
However, unlike Xiao Zhongying, Lin Qingzhi came back from Hong Kong Island and owns a top private museum on Hong Kong Island.
But the question is, how did these two big guys know that the fourth painting was the original work of Xia Gui?
After all, they didn't even go to the viewing platform. Shen Yu believed they couldn't see it just by watching it on the big screen.
