Chapter 132 Picking up Foreign Leaks

"Uncle Liu, are you coming to the Hong Kong Antiques Fair? Yes, I'm also there. Okay, see you the day after tomorrow."

Wu Tianyuan called Liu Huasheng. It turned out that he had also received a temporary invitation to come here for a tea ceremony demonstration, and we happened to meet.

"You actually know Liu Huasheng from Osaka?" Zhai Jianmin said in surprise.

"His daughter Liu Meizi is my assistant, do you think I know her?"

Zhai Jianmin became more and more unable to see through this kid. His connections were really deep, and he relied on a lot of connections to invite this popular tea ceremony master.

"If I knew it earlier, I would have let you do it. It took me a long time and human kindness, hey!"

The three of them walked into the meeting place while chatting. Many staff members were busy, and the official launch was not until the end of the day. Insiders were all insiders and antique dealers.

"You two go around first, I will explain to my subordinates, and I will find you later."

Wang Dagang took Wu Tianyuan around first, he is also an old acquaintance, and many Hong Kong experts are also familiar, anyway, there are no outsiders, so it is more convenient to see things.

"I really envy you, bro, you have your own museum! I've been collecting for 30 years, and I'm not half as good as you!"

Wang Dagang saw Tianyuan's exhibits last time, and he was very helpless when he went back. He is also a star, and he has been collecting for 30 years. Take a look at the things in his hand?Hey, what a chill!
"I also like porcelain and calligraphy and painting. The finale in my hand is a blue vase from the Qianlong official kiln. It cost millions of dollars to take pictures back then. Looking at your collection, it's really..."

Wu Tianyuan looked at Wang Dagang's dejected look, and comforted him: "These are all fate, and sometimes it has nothing to do with money. My brother is also a senior collector, so he must have his own collection system and characteristics. If you don't mind finding time, you can also put it in Let Tianyuan exhibit, with your reputation, it will definitely be a sensation."

"Okay, I also have this idea. I won't be able to build a museum in my life. When you officially open to the public, I will also set up an exhibition hall to let the babies shine. It's not a waste of my life!"

Wang Dagang is very happy, Tianyuan's level is too high, as it is now, won't it be even better in a few days?If one's own collection can be exhibited, it can be regarded as an explanation.

Wu Tianyuan understands the psychology of collectors. Whether it is for the sake of face or vanity, he spends a lot of money and energy to establish a collection system. In the end, no one cares about it, who wants to?

However, it is very difficult for public museums to hold private exhibitions, and the level of private museums is not high, and big collectors look down on them.The Tianyuan Museum is very suitable, with high standards, good hardware conditions, and Wu Tianyuan is a straightforward person, so whether it is a local tyrant collector like Hu Jianmin or a senior collector like Wang Dagang, this platform is the most suitable.

The geographical location of Guanfu in the capital is remote, and there are many collections, so there are not many places to display them.Liu Yiqian's dragon is in Shanghai, Hu Jianmin, Ma Yun, and the others are all top figures in the business world, and no one can afford to beg him. After all, only the Tianyuan Museum is suitable.

Firstly, Wu Tianyuan is a person in the antique shop, and he has no contact with the business world, and his background and character are clean.The two have bad eyesight, and their luck is against the sky. Although there are not many Tianyuan collections now, they are all confident that they will develop and grow in a few years, and they will become famous all over the world.

"Here are a few connoisseurs in the Netherlands. Their sculptures and gold and silverware are very good, and the price is not high. They are also considered works of art."

As the two chatted, Wu Tianyuan discovered that the classification of artworks in foreign countries is not as detailed as in China. As long as they are old things with a certain age, they are all valuable.Of course, the value also depends on the craftsmanship and the author, and the works of masters are also expensive.

Wu Tianyuan walked along the way, listened to a lot of voices of antiques, and gradually gained a basic understanding of foreign artworks.The so-called interlacing is like a mountain, playing porcelain does not necessarily understand calligraphy and painting, not to mention completely different historical differences and cultural aesthetic differences, although there are very few people in China who are proficient in foreign art.

Needless to say, oil painting is synonymous with sky-high prices.Then there are sculptures and furniture, gold and silverware, coins and stamps are also important categories of collection.

Wu Tianyuan walked along the way and found that the International Antique Fair is very worthy of the name, two-thirds of which are foreign antique dealers.Each small exhibition hall has various types of antiques, some are special topics, some are various, and there is everything.

"Taobao is also available here. Many bosses understand Chinese and can even bargain."

Wang Dagang said with a smile: "Now that the domestic market is huge, many foreigners are optimistic about the development of the mainland, and a large number of treasures are beginning to return. This is a good thing."

Wu Tianyuan began to listen with great interest, to see if he missed anything. To be honest, he knew very little about foreign antique market. Except for top masters like Van Gogh and Monet, he really didn't know the value of others.

"Is this a violin?"

Wu Tianyuan walked to an exhibition hall, where there were dozens of violins?I was very curious, so I went in and walked around.

"This is?"

Suddenly he heard a voice, and after communicating with his hands, he looked at the label below, Stradiva's 1754 work?
He briefly chatted with the boss in English, and it turned out that the collections here are all private collections and can be traded on the spot.

"Okay, trust you once!"

After some haggling, Wu Tianyuan bought a violin for US$[-].Wang Dagang looked on in amazement. He had always been curious about Wu Tianyuan's eyesight and ability to pick up leaks, but he didn't expect him to know musical instruments too?

"Brother, is this leak?"

The two left the exhibition hall, Wang Dagang asked curiously, Wu Tianyuan smiled and said: "I think this should be the work of Giannalo, the second son of the famous master Alessandro! They were the best violin makers in Italy from 1730 to 1750 The master, and the work of Jannalo at this time has always been considered to be Stella, and it was not noticed until later."

Wang Dagang is really convinced, he doesn't understand western musical instruments, but with Wu Tianyuan's eyesight and what he said just now, it shows that he also has a deep understanding of western antiques!
It's really strange, even if a young man in his 20s learned from his mother's womb, he shouldn't be able to reach this level, right?
"This should be a 19th century ceramic figure Buhler clock, which has certain collection value."

"This is a pair of Austro-Hungarian silver harp candlesticks. I think it is around 1870. The label is wrong."

"This is amazing. The hunter sculpture of the German Wildman family and the badge of the Principality of Rick are an important symbol of their family's coming-of-age ceremony and have a high collection value."

Along the way, Wu Tianyuan bought four or five antiques, including silverware, sculptures, and a sketch, which was unknown and whose work was unknown.

Zhai Jianmin was speechless after listening to Wang Dagang's narration and looking at the various antiques in front of him.This kid is so good at playing Chinese antiques that he can understand them, now he even understands foreign ones?

"I don't believe it!"

Zhai Jianmin didn't believe in evil, so he found Dr. Wade, the most authoritative at the exhibition. He is a master of western antique appraisal and has a great reputation in the world.

"Zhai, your friend is really amazing. These are genuine products, especially this violin, which is a masterpiece. It is currently worth at least 50 US dollars on the market!"

"There is also this hunter sculpture, which is a precious collection of the Wildman family, and many people are still looking for it now!"

Even Dr. Wade was impressed by the young oriental guy in front of him. This is an antiques fair, and all the people who come here are experts.It is amazing to be able to pick up leaks here!

"Your cost of 80 US dollars, you made [-] in one change of hands?"

Wang Dagang watched Wu Tianyuan sell several antiques at once, and stared, finally knowing how to become a billionaire?
