Seeing the three antiques in Liu Dong's hands, the young man surnamed Fang couldn't help but show a hint of admiration in his eyes. However, during the time he followed Liu Dong, whenever Liu Dong found porcelain, he would look at it carefully, although there were some in it.
A few pieces, with his eyesight, could not tell whether they were genuine or fake, but many more were porcelains that he could identify himself.
Liu Dong is younger than him, and his ability to appraise antiques is no worse than him, and the speed of appraising antiques is extremely fast. He can basically determine the authenticity at a glance. This ability is comparable to the real master-level appraisers in various industries.
.
"Boss Zhang, am I looking for the right one?"
"Mr. Liu, I realize that I can no longer compete with you for treasures. I really can't afford to lose!" Zhang Weihan couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw the three pieces of porcelain in Liu Dong's hand.
At the same time, he also scolded the person who coined the phrase "the most dangerous place is the safest place". Since the last time, he kept the three things secret, but Liu Dong found them.
After Zhang Weihan reflected on it, he believed the saying, "The most dangerous place is the safest place." He displayed the three pieces of porcelain openly and in a very conspicuous place. Unexpectedly, he failed even more this time.
quick.
Seeing Liu Dong ordering people to put away the three antiques that he had worked so hard for, Zhang Weihan couldn't help but feel distressed.
"Boss Zhang, what good things have you collected recently? You might as well take it out and have a look. If it is indeed a high-quality product, I think you will not be disappointed in terms of money!"
"Haha, what I've been waiting for is Mr. Liu's words, please follow me!" With that said, Zhang Weihan stood up and led the way. Then he led Liu Dong towards the seats on the second floor.
At this time, the young man named Fang who was supervising Liu Dong didn't say anything. After all, Liu Dong had already found more than three antiques, so he passed the first level steadily, so as for Liu Dong's next actions,
The young man named Fang did not interfere.
After Liu Dong sat down, before finishing his cup of tea, Zhang Weihan came over with an ancient painting from the safe in the storage room next to him.
Waiting for the ancient painting to unfold, an ink-and-paper paper, about six square feet in size, showing a beautiful landscape and autumn scenery appeared in front of Liu Dong's eyes. There were many promotions and seals from famous artists on the painting, the most famous of which was the "Qianlong Preview"
Two seals: "Zhi Bao" and "Qianlong Appreciation".
"This is "Autumn Mountains" by Wang Meng, a painter from the Yuan Dynasty!" Liu Dong said in surprise after reading the author's signature next to it and the identification results of the relics.
"Haha, Mr. Liu really has a good eye. This is indeed "Autumn Mountains" by the Yuan Dynasty painter Wang Meng!" Zhang Weihan said proudly. He thought that he had spent a lot of effort to collect this painting.
Wang Meng was a painter of the Yuan Dynasty. His courtesy name was Shuming and his nickname was Huangheshan Qiao. He was the grandson of Zhao Mengfu. His landscape painting was influenced by Zhao Mengfu. He learned from Dong Yuan and Ju Ran, and created his own style by combining the strengths of other painters. His works are distinguished by their denseness, with numerous mountains, tall pines and lush trees.
The momentum is rich and varied; he likes to use the solution of the problem, the hair is thick, and the dry and wet are used interchangeably to send the beauty, moistness and freshness into the thick and muddy; the moss spots are many and the ink is thirsty, and the pen is drawn down with the flow. It also attacks figures, ink bamboo, and
He was good at regular script. Together with Huang Gongwang, Wu Zhen and Ni Zan, they were collectively known as the "Four Schools of the Yuan Dynasty".
Moreover, Wang Meng is also a typical representative of a family of calligraphers and painters. In addition to his equally famous grandfather Zhao Mengfu, his grandmother Duan Sheng, his uncle Zhao Yong, and his cousin Zhao Yanzheng were all famous painters in the Yuan Dynasty.
The achievements of this family are no less than those of Su Xun, Su Shi, Su Che, and the "Three Sus"!
"It's indeed a good thing! Handmade by a famous artist!" Liu Dong praised it loudly after looking at it for a while.
"It seems that Boss Zhao is very good at appraising calligraphy and paintings. In addition, this painting "Autumn Mountains" by the Yuan Dynasty painter Wang Meng, as well as Shen Zhou's imitation of Huang Gongwang's "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" and Wu Lao's painting were bought by me last time.
The original paintings of Bada Shanren Zhu Da that he bought are already three ancient paintings by Boss Zhao!" After finishing speaking, Liu Dong was also surprised in his heart, and he was somewhat complimentary to the person in front of him.
Middle-aged people look at him differently.
"Haha, Mr. Liu is overly praised!" Although he said this, the proud look in Zhang Weihan's eyes could not be hidden at all costs.
"Mr. Liu, look at this painting...?"
"The painting is good, I bought it! Boss Zhao, please tell me a price!" Liu Dong said happily. Every ancient painting by a famous artist from hundreds of years ago to a thousand years ago is a rare treasure. Now that you have encountered it,
Of course there is no reason to let go.
"Since Mr. Liu is so happy, I'll say it!" Zhang Weihan rubbed his hands excitedly, then stretched out a finger and said: "Ten million!"
Hearing this, Liu Dong did not refuse immediately, but smiled and said: "Ten million? If this painting were to be auctioned, it would really be worth this price, but after excluding taxes and the auction house's commission...!"
Boss Zhao, how much money is left in this painting?"
Hearing this, Zhang Weihan smiled without any strange expression on his face. He paid off the asking price on the spot. He also knew that the price of 10 million was indeed a bit high for this painting. Although the antique market is bullish now, after all,
It hasn’t gone up yet!
"Mr. Liu, I have another painting here, would you like to take a look at it?" Zhang Weihan did not bid any more, but continued to sell it to Liu Dong.
"Okay!" In fact, what he saw in Zhang Weihan's safe was more than just a flash of light, so Liu Dong was quite looking forward to this man's collection.
"Haha, take a moment, Mr. Liu! This painting...!" Although Zhang Weihan didn't finish what he said, his meaning was already obvious. This authentic painting by Wang Meng is worth millions. Just in case he leaves now, Liu Dong
If the package was adjusted, he would suffer a big loss. So Zhang Weihan was cautious and careful.
"I know the rules, you can take it away!" Liu Dong waved his hand.
"Haha, okay! Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Liu!" With that said, Zhang Weihan quickly and carefully put away the scroll on the table, then took it with him and walked towards the storage room next to him.
"Mr. Fang, why don't you sit down and rest?" Looking at the young man named Fang standing silently next to him, Liu Dong couldn't help asking with a smile.
After hearing this, Fang Zhonghua felt very bachelor, so he sat down on the chair next to him, poured a cup of tea, drank it all, and followed Liu Dong on the antique street on a hot day.
Damn, he's too hot.
"Mr. Liu, this "Autumn Mountain Picture" by Wang Meng cannot be regarded as something you picked up and missed!"
"I know, but now I think I should have completed the first level long ago!" Liu Dong said with a smile.
"Not bad!" After finishing speaking, Fang Zhonghua hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't help but asked, "Mr. Liu, I'm very curious, how did you select so many antiques? I was just beside you before.
I did some calculations and found that almost every transaction of yours takes less than five minutes. And the shortest one is even less than one minute. And in such a short time, sometimes you can't even complete the appraisal?"
This question has been weighing on Fang Zhonghua's mind for a long time, and he didn't ask it until now.
After listening, Liu Dong smiled and answered the question: "Mr. Fang, aren't you afraid that I am being deceived?"
"Mongolian?" Fang Zhonghua shook his head.
"I specialize in porcelain. I have been working in this business for more than ten years. I think my eyesight is not bad. Although I am not sure about some of the porcelain you just bought, most of them are genuine. So
It can't be achieved by relying on tricks, and no one in the world always has such luck, unless he is God!" Fang Zhonghua affirmed.
"I'll tell you this question after I get back!" Liu Dong said.
At this time, Fang Zhonghua also noticed that Zhang Weihan had come out with something, so he immediately shut up, nodded to Liu Dong, and drank tea by himself without talking.
"Mr. Liu, please take a look!" As he spoke, Zhang Weihan placed the painting he had just taken out on the square table in front of Liu Dong, and then slowly unfolded it in front of him.
"Mr. Fu Baoshi's "Kangtu Tancha Harbor"!" Seeing the signature next to it, Liu Dong suddenly became excited. Fu Baoshi is one of the most famous traditional Chinese painters in modern times. In 1997, Fu Baoshi wrote Du Fu's Yuefu poem "
With the title "Beautiful People Walking", he created the masterpiece "Beautiful People Walking", which was sold by Guardian International Auction Company for 10.78 million yuan, setting the world's highest record for modern Chinese painting auctions.
The painting "Contutancha Harbor" in Liu Dong's hands at the moment was created by Fu Baoshi in 1958 when he led a delegation of Chinese artists to visit Romania and Czechoslovakia. In addition to this painting, there is also "Construction Site of Bigaz Hydropower Station".
”, “Landscape of Sinaia” and 49 other paintings.
"Boss Zhang, fifteen million! I want both paintings!" Liu Dong immediately made his decision after reading it.
Of course, his price is still a little higher than the market price. However, Liu Dong does not want to be too harsh, otherwise boss Zhang will not think twice if he collects works with the same value as these two paintings today.
Got him.
If the money is gone, Liu Dong has many ways to make it back. If he misses a masterpiece like this from a famous artist, he may never get a second chance in his life.
"Haha, Mr. Liu is really happy. I will install the two paintings for you immediately?" Zhang Weihan said happily.
With a price of fifteen million, he made a lot of money. Even if these two paintings were auctioned, I'm afraid there wouldn't be that much left after excluding the auction house's commission.
"Boss Zhang, you have a really good eye for identifying ancient paintings. If you find this kind of famous handwriting again in the future, remember to call me and I will give you the money!" After taking the two paintings, Liu Dong said with a smile.
.
"Haha, definitely, definitely! As long as I can receive paintings like this in the future, I will definitely call Mr. Liu as soon as possible!" Thinking of the cash check he just put into his pocket, Zhang Weihan was so happy that he couldn't help but hear Liu
After Dong's words, he agreed happily.
Even if Liu Dong doesn't say anything, Zhang Weihan will contact him as soon as possible if a generous customer like him has a good item. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
