Xu Feng saw that Zheng Jian'an remained silent for a long time, his face remained calm, but he was a little anxious in his heart.
After thinking for a while, he tapped his finger lightly on the table, making a soft "click" sound, and at the same time asked in authentic Cantonese: "Zheng Sheng, do you want this white jade cup?"
Zheng Jianan cleared his throat slightly, his eyes still wandering among the objects in the store, and he said a few words slowly: "Look again!"
After that, he slowly left the table, raised his feet and walked slowly towards the three calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall.
It seemed casual, but in fact there was an indescribable eagerness in his eyes.
That’s the feeling of satisfaction of having a treasure in your pocket!
When he moved, Shen Yu moved faster.
At this time, the advantages of practicing martial arts diligently since childhood and developing agility and fitness were revealed.
Although he was several meters behind Zheng Jian'an, with his astonishing explosive power and speed, he surpassed him in an instant like a ghost, and took a few steps ahead to easily pluck the Yuanren copy painting from the wall.
He first blew gently towards the sky and earth pole of the scroll, and after the dust dispersed, he put on a pretending to complain look on his face, "Xu Feng, how many times have I told you? Antique price tags Things must be done carefully and rigorously, and you must look again and again, and look again and again!
"I have appraised this painting of yours before and asked you to price it at 12 million. How could you be so careless and miss two zeros?"
Shen Yu's sudden action instantly caused everyone present to fall into shock.
Except for Pei Yuqin who still looks calm, as if everything happening around her has nothing to do with her. Whether it is Zheng Jianan, Xu Feng, or even Xuan Yuan, who has been silently observing everything on the wooden chair, all seem to have been cast. Like a curse on his body, he suddenly froze on the spot.
The old Taoist secretly thought that Shen Yu acted like this because he most likely noticed that Zheng Jianan was looking at the painting, so he took the first step.
However, the old Taoist did not stand up, and there was no look of surprise on his face.
He knew that his attainments in antique appraisal were really limited, and he was completely confused about the foundation of this painting. The best thing to do was to wait and see what happens!
Xufeng's reaction seemed much slower.
There was doubt written all over his fat face. He really couldn't figure out what Shen Yu's intention was.
I muttered to myself, my Uncle Shen, you and I just met today. When and where did you tell me that this painting should be priced at 12 million?
Furthermore, anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that this painting is in poor condition. The paper is shabby, full of insects and cracks. The name Zhang Xuan signed on it was obviously added later. How can it be worth 1,200 if it looks like this? A huge one?
12 million, who dares to sell it at such a high price?
This amount is enough to buy a pretty good property in a wealthy area, even on Hong Kong Island where land is at a premium.
I don’t know what kind of medicine Uncle Shen is selling in his gourd? He was full of suspicion, but he couldn’t ask out his doubts, so he could only stand there blankly.
Zheng Jian'an was extremely surprised.
He really couldn't figure out where he had exposed his flaw, but Shen Yu keenly caught the clues.
You know, in the past few days, he thought that his behavior was good enough, even watertight!
In order not to attract attention, I resisted the idea of looking at the painting and did not step into the store for three days to look at this precious copy of Zhang Xuan Yuanren.
He didn't even find anyone in the industry to give him advice. He just regularly sent some of his trustworthy and familiar men to the store to pretend to hang out, to prevent others from getting the treasure first.
Speaking of the matter of buying paintings, the reason why Zheng Jianan did not take action directly was also quite helpless.
I don’t know where Xu Feng’s fault is. He obviously seems to be short of money, but he has inexplicably made a broken rule. As for the three paintings on his wall, he will not sell any of them. If he wants to sell them, he must The three paintings are sold together in a package, and no counter-offers are allowed!
As a result, things become difficult.
Although the price for this portrait of Lady Wei, a copy of the Yuan Dynasty, is attractively low, the prices for the other two paintings are extremely high.
The so-called price tag of Zhang Zeduan's "Lantern Festival Lantern Festival" is 850,000 yuan. This is pure nonsense. A discerning eye can see that it is a modern fake. Let alone 850,000 yuan, no one wants it even for 8,500 yuan.
Although Zhou Fang's "Pictures of Ladies" has good painting skills, the price is even more exaggerated, with a price tag of as high as 1.25 million.
Such a huge price difference made Zheng Jian'an completely unable to figure out Xu Feng's true intentions.
Compared with the original works of Zhang Xuan from the Yuan Dynasty, they are naturally very different, and their artistic value and market price are completely incomparable.
But even so, in the current antique market, a copy of the Yuan Dynasty is extremely difficult to find.
In terms of its value, even if the most conservative estimate is that this painting was copied by an unknown artist, its price will not be less than three million.
If you are lucky enough to be able to confirm that this is a work copied by a famous artist, the price may even exceed the tens of millions mark, making it a hot treasure in the auction house.
However, because the quality of the painting is so poor, it becomes very difficult to simply judge by the painting style which famous artist copied it.
It takes a little bit of digging to find out the clues.
This is exactly the problem that Zheng Jianan has always been hesitant to make up his mind about.
As a senior businessman who has been in the antique business for many years, spending more than two million yuan to buy a painting with an estimated value of three million yuan is obviously not in line with his usual shrewd style.
On the surface, he is the shareholder vice president of a trading company, but he has antique shops in Singapore, Malaysia, Australia, and New Zealand in Southeast Asia.
Usually, he flies around the world, searching for treasures in antique streets and antique shops in various cities.
So I used a trick, using a few double eagle gold coins and a high appraisal fee to attract Xu Feng.
If he can't tell the authenticity, then he has to let him choose an antique in the store for free!
I thought it would be perfect, but I didn't expect to meet such a great expert as Shen Yu.
When Tu Qiong saw him, Zheng Jianan stopped covering up and hid it.
He raised his hand slightly, pointed at the calligraphy and painting in Shen Yu's hand, and tried his best to squeeze out a friendly smile on his face, "Little brother, Boss Wang treats you as a master and uncle. I guess your surname is Shen?"
"To be honest, I have come down here to admire the portrait of Mrs. Wei in your hand for a long time and I am very interested in it. I hope that Brother Shen can give you a real selling price so that we can discuss and promote this. A transaction.”
When Shen Yu heard this, his face showed just the right amount of regret.
He shook his head gently and replied calmly: "Mr. Zheng, I'm really sorry. As for this painting, my nephew accidentally marked the wrong price. Fortunately, I found out in time. If it had been too late, Once you hold it in your hands, this misunderstanding will become unexplainable."
