Jin Yutong

Chapter 105 Old Ma's Warning

"Learning is endless!" With a sigh, Wang Zhiqing raised his head: "Students are taught!" Now he is convinced, not only he is convinced, but other people are also convinced, it is really a long time Got it!

While being convinced, they suddenly realized that not only China has antiques, but other countries also have antiques.Before this, they really didn't realize this.

In fact, this is not the case in domestic collectors. Speaking of antiques, I am afraid that most ordinary collectors will only think of domestic exquisite ceramics, majestic bronzes, etc., and foreign antiques, but they cannot imagine them. Let them tell which foreign country has those antiques, there are not many that can be said, of course, except for mummies in certain countries, Mona Lisa, scepter and so on... Relatively speaking, the actual In terms of art, calligraphy and painting are even better. If it is replaced by other foreign antiques, it will be even more unpopular, and even fewer people know about it. Let alone ordinary collectors, experts like Mr. Ma I'm afraid I don't know much about it.

The reason for this situation is that Chinese people are inherently repulsive. Due to differences in culture and history, Chinese people are inevitably estranged from foreign antiques and artworks, so naturally they cannot generate interest and form a market.

In addition, there is a lack of professional appraisers in the domestic collection industry.

Antique appraisers in China can be divided into three categories. The first category is related to industries such as Mr. Ma and Wang Zhiqing, such as archaeology, history, etc. Although such majors are very close to antiques, they are still unprofessional. Amateurs are like history majors. Those who study history do not necessarily understand antiques. Although history majors and antique majors are closely related, they are two different majors.

There are also people like Wang Zhiqing. Although he has a lot of research on calligraphy and painting, he is not a professional, because calligraphy and painting should actually be regarded as an art major. , he must be able to identify the painting at a glance.

The second category is those who are just collectors like Liu Lei, but they have gained experience and quality in playing, and they are even less professional. Of course, it goes without saying.

The above two categories have their own occupations. Generally speaking, playing antiques and collecting them can only be regarded as hobbies.

In addition to these two categories, the remaining category is professional appraisers or antique dealers. They are indeed professional, but most of these people are grassroots. Their knowledge is not high, and they just rely on experience It was discovered by 'groping', or the family is engaged in antiques, relying on the experience handed down by their ancestors to eat, their eyesight and experience may be very rich, but they lack a certain level of knowledge, just like now, let them It is really difficult to appraise foreign antiques if you see them for the first time.

All in all, there is a lack of the specialty of antique appraisal in China.

Apart from being convinced of the authenticity of the painting, all the people present also changed their eyes when they looked at Chen Ran. Now they have nothing to say about Chen Ran's eyesight, what else can they say, although the dragon and phoenix They were not at the scene of the auspicious jade pendant, they just heard about it, but just the ancient painting in front of them can completely convince them, even Wang Zhiqing and Liu Lei have a great attitude towards Chen Ran. Change... Knowledge has no size, and those who are capable are teachers. Although the number of leaks Chen Ran passed on is not many, every time he can deeply admire his vision, like a dragon and phoenix jade pendant, like this ancient painting today ...Of course, among the crowd, Guo Hai is the one who is most convinced. If there were no outsiders present, he would have given Chen Ran a hug right away. You are so clever.

"Grandpa, you said that this painting is a Japanese painting, but you haven't given an estimate for this painting..." Just when everyone was convinced, a burst of laughter suddenly came, and this laughter came, It caused everyone to turn their eyes to the past.

The first thing I saw was a row of bodyguards in black suits and sunglasses. The first thing I saw was this row of bodyguards, but it was the one in front of the row of bodyguards that caught my attention. As for the twin beauties, however, no matter whether it was the bodyguard or the twin beauties, they were all ignored at this moment.It's okay to ignore the bodyguards, but for the twin beauties, it's obviously not easy to look away after just one glance.

And it was only a dwarf who made it this far. Even though it was only a dwarf, none of the people present ignored him, and there was no sign of contempt in the eyes of the dwarf. Strictly speaking, he was even a little scared. Of course, Mr. Ma and others are excluded.

Hearing Lang's laughter, Chen Ran also turned his head and looked over... The person who spoke was Zhu Feng.

"Brother has really good eyesight!"

Seeing Chen Ran looking over, Zhu Feng stretched out his mother's finger, smiled and nodded at Chen Ran.

"Xiao Chen's eyesight is naturally nothing to say!" Before Chen Ran could say anything, Mr. Ma replied angrily. He seemed to be a little bit unimpressed with Zhu Feng, and when he saw Zhu Feng, he snorted softly.

"The old man hasn't appraised the painting yet?" Zhu Feng wasn't angry at all, instead he was smiling.

"Why are you here to join in the fun!"

Mr. Ma glared at Zhu Feng angrily, and then fell into a deep groan. For a while, all the eyes of everyone present were also focused on Mr. Ma, although they already knew that this ancient painting was authentic and might be worth a lot of money. , but how much it is worth, everyone has no idea, and they all want to know its market value.

The rest of the people were all curious. Guo Hai and Chen Ran were different. Although this painting was received by Chen Ran, to Guo Hai, it was no different from the one he received himself. Naturally, he hoped that the more valuable the better, but Chen Ran obviously also wants to know how much this Japanese painting is worth. Although he is not short of small money now, he is short of big money for Chen Ping to use as capital for business. He himself is not satisfied, besides, no one will have trouble with money, and no one will think that he has too much money.

Mr. Ma pondered for a while, and then slowly said after a long time: "If I'm not mistaken, the picture of cold mountains that Xiao Chen received should be from the early days of Chi Daya before the formation of the Southern Painting School in Japan. Compared with the international market value of Chi Daya's late works, the value of this work is lower. According to my valuation, it should be around 320 million. Of course, if it is sold to the Japanese, it may be higher Some, if it is auctioned in Japan, it will be even higher!"

"320 million!"

Mr. Ma just quoted this price, and there was a sound of gasping in the audience, even Chen Ran's eyelids twitched suddenly, but luckily he was mentally prepared, although this price was higher than he estimated. The price is high, but it is not so outrageously high, so there is not too much shock, just surprised.

Like Guo Hai, who was stunned all of a sudden, and stayed in a daze for a long time, he seemed to have a sudden convulsion, and slapped his thigh fiercely: "Damn it!"

"Brother, I don't know this ancient painting, are you willing to transfer it?" Just when the others were still surprised, Zhu Feng's smiling voice came again.

Chen Ran was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then turned his head to look at Mr. Ma. This painting must be for sale. Although he is not a cynical Japanese painting, he will definitely not collect it. He collects and collects Huaxia's calligraphy and paintings. He looked at Mr. Ma, but he wanted to see if Mr. Ma was interested in this painting. After all, this painting was identified by Mr. Ma. If Mr. Ma was interested, he would naturally Give priority to Mr. Ma.

"Hmph! Little lunatic, I warn you, if you dare to make Xiao Chen suffer, I will ask you for advice!"

Mr. Ma understands this painting, not because he likes Japan as a country, but because he is pursuing academics. Academics have no borders, but it is one thing to understand, but it is another time for him to collect a pair of Japanese paintings and calligraphy. On this point, he has the same mentality as Chen Ran.

However, although he had no intention of accepting the painting, he saw that Chen Ran didn't agree immediately when he heard Zhu Feng's words, but looked at him first, which made him very satisfied. From this action, Undoubtedly, Chen Ran's character problem can be seen, which also made him appreciate Chen Ran even more. Thinking of Zhu Feng's reputation, out of love for Chen Ran, he couldn't help but warn Zhu Feng.

"Look at what you said, old man, I don't have much ability, but I never treat anyone who has ability badly. I am convinced by this little brother's ability. Even if you don't tell me, I can still treat my little brother badly." Brother?" Zhu Feng said to Mr. Ma with a smile, and then looked at Chen Ran: "Brother Chen, this painting, the old man will give you an estimate of 320 million yuan, so I will accept it at 380 million yuan, you see How about it?"

Hearing what Zhu Feng said, Chen Ran shook his head almost without thinking: "Boss Zhu, if you like it, just take it according to Mr. Ma's estimate!"

He is not short of the 60, so why should he owe Zhu Feng a favor.

As soon as Chen Ran said this, everyone present looked at him differently. For example, when Mr. Ma, Wang Zhiqing, and Liu Lei looked at Chen Ran, their eyes were full of undisguised admiration. Not much, less or less, but Chen Ran was able to refuse the money that was picked up for nothing, not to mention other things, at least it can show that Chen Ran is not a villain who only seeks profit, or is not a person who is greedy for cheap.
