Chapter 162
"Jade invited me to participate in the auction?"

Wu Tianyuan asked curiously, "What auction? Haven't heard of any large auctions?"

Sun Yuyao carefully helped Wu Tianyuan tidy up her clothes, and said with a smile: "This time, you will go no matter what! Qi Baishi Twelve Screens, will you go?"

Wu Tianyuan was taken aback, Sun Yuyao didn't say that he forgot that he had gone on a treasure hunt for Liuchuan's old house last time, and even got a set of Qi Baishi, Jiade once estimated 15 billion!

"Someone really spent more than a billion yuan to buy Qi Baishi?"

Wu Tianyuan shook his head, he really didn't take this seriously, he was busy with other things, put it in the warehouse and never took it out again.The day after tomorrow, Jiade actually wants to auction it, isn't it just a hype?
"That's you, Qi Baishi's twelve screens don't take it seriously!"

Sun Yuyao laughed and said, "Right now, a piece of Qi Baishi Zhang Daqian's high-quality screens costs tens of millions, and twelve sheets sell for at least five hundred million yuan. What's more, it's a whole series of landscapes, with poems and promotions, and it's better to give it to friends of famous artists. Foreword, 15 billion is not too exaggerated."

"15 billion! Can you buy five or six Ru kilns and a modern calligraphy and painting? It's crazy!"

Wu Tianyuan didn't take it seriously. In his impression, apart from the modern idol Wu Hufan and Zhang Daqian, he was really not interested in anything else.It's not that Qi Baishi is bad, it's just that he doesn't like it.

"Then are you going?"

Seeing Sun Yuyao's smiling face close at hand, Wu Tianyuan kissed her and said loudly, "Go, I wish I could sell it for 20 billion, and then we will sell it too!"

"What? You also have Qi Baishi's twelve screens in your hand?"

Hu Yan put down the phone and rushed directly to the museum. After seeing the masterpieces of Qi Baishi hanging all over the wall, she was also drunk!

"You hide really deep! Can this kind of treasure be calm?"

Wu Tianyuan said embarrassedly: "I really forgot, isn't it Qi Baishi? There is still Qiu Ying's Qingming Riverside Picture rare?"

Hu Yan was speechless for a moment, and sighed for a while: "It means that you are qualified to say this in front of me! I will directly slap others in the face! Although Qi Baishi is a professional painter, there are almost [-] chapters in existence, but there are only [-] screens rumored. Two sets, Baoli's set was sent by a descendant of a famous doctor, because it is too expensive, I have been doing publicity to find a suitable buyer, and it will finally be auctioned the day after tomorrow."

"Qiu Ying's Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival is a treasure, and it may even be an orphan, but the price really can't be compared with Qi Baishi's set. The reasons behind it are too complicated, and you will understand when you arrive at the scene the day after tomorrow."

Hu Yan hesitated to speak, Wu Tianyuan was even more curious, she must go and see, who can spend more than one billion to buy treasures?
"How do you deal with this set? After Jiade is up for shooting, Zhongzheng will be tight to shoot?"

Wu Tianyuan had a headache, Jia De had just finished filming, and he immediately said to come out again?Don't those who bought it at a sky-high price cry to death?

"Well, we want to see the situation, and then talk about how to deal with it?"

Hu Yan can't help it for the time being, did not expect that there will be a time when the baby is worried about selling?Wait for the results from Jiade, find an opportunity to make a move, and at worst make a private deal.

The twelve bronze heads are now on display at the Baoli Museum. This time, Hu Yan accepted Wu Tianyuan's great favor. This kid is really generous.

No wonder he became the youngest member of the dragon group, his eyesight is second, his life is great!It's only been less than a year, and the Tianyuan Museum has been tossed out. I can't imagine it in a few years!
"How much do you know about Chen Dongsheng?"

The two rarely had time to chat and had lunch together, Hu Yan asked suddenly.

"Ten billionaires, in addition to Jiade Auction, it seems that there is also Taikang Finance? By the way, there is also a logistics company."

"That's right, Chen Dongsheng is our confidant, he is low-key, but he has a deep scheming mind!"

Hu Yan said solemnly: "I also started from scratch, working hard to appear in assets of more than [-] billion, and the connections and methods are all heroes!"

Wu Tianyuan nodded. Chen Dongsheng is a formidable person. It is definitely not easy for Liu Boss and Ma Yun to look up to him from a grassroots background.

"It's a pity that his talent was not used in the right place. He used his own auction house and trust art fund to launder money and raise funds. This Qi Baishi sky-high auction is a living example!"

Now Wu Tianyuan is also a member of the Dragon Team, and he is qualified to know the inside story of many things, let him pay more attention in the future, and don't fall into a trap.

"Since 2009, there has been a fifth collection craze in China. TV and newspapers report stories about getting rich overnight, making people all over the country seem to want to miss out! As a result, a lot of hot money sees opportunities, buys low and sells high in the market wantonly, hype Hoarding, coupled with the help of some small auction houses without a bottom line of principle, the whole atmosphere is a mess!"

Hu Yan said heartbrokenly: "Especially modern works of art have a large amount of existence, and the author's name has a relatively popular foundation, so it has become the hardest hit area for hype. For example, Qi Baishi, Zhang Daqian, Xu Beihong and other modern high-yield calligraphers and painters, the prices start from 09 10,000+ pieces have been fired to tens of millions, which is comparable to Qingming fine calligraphy and painting, which is too abnormal!"

This is the root cause of Wu Tianyuan's disapproval of modern and contemporary artworks. Collection is based on the amount of existence. Why is Song and Yuan so expensive?It is a miracle in itself that a piece of porcelain, a piece of calligraphy and painting can be handed down to this day after thousands of years, so it is naturally expensive!
"Of course, I think ancient calligraphy and paintings are quite real, especially the calligraphy and paintings of the Song and Yuan Dynasties, which are rare in the world and many of them are orphans. Once the authentic ones appear, they are national treasures, so treasures are naturally sought after by people, and the sky-high prices are understandable."

Hu Yan said: "Moreover, the real collectors of Song and Yuan calligraphy and paintings are generally big collectors. They only enter and leave. They collect for their entire lives or treat them as family heirlooms. Once they miss the opportunity, they may never be seen again for the rest of their lives. They are very popular."

"However, the so-called Chinese popular art in modern times is too frothy! For example, Xu Beihong's "Baren Drawing Water" is an art treasure that truly records the hard work of Chongqing people. It is known as Xu Beihong's most popular and zeitgeist work One of the four masterpieces, when the work was exhibited in 1938, it was hailed as a rare work in 500 years.

Hu Yan recalled: "I was also present at Jiade's auction. "Baren Drawing Water" was unveiled with a starting price of 3500 million yuan, and a buyer directly bid 6000 million yuan. In less than one minute, the price broke through the 1 million yuan mark. 5 Buyers inside and outside the venue competed fiercely on a scale of one million yuan. After more than 30 rounds of competition, the hammer was finally awarded with 1.71 million yuan, setting a new auction record for Xu Beihong’s personal works and breaking the auction record for modern Chinese calligraphy and painting just set by "The Long March" , and set a world record for new Chinese painting auction transactions."

"Qi Baishi and Zhang Daqian are both frequent visitors of the Billion Dollar Club. Every time their works set new records, I personally think their artistic attainments are very high, but they can't compare with the ancient Four Kings, Four Monks, Bada Shanren, etc., let alone the Song Dynasty. Yuan Mingjia."

"Their real high-quality goods can be recognized by the market. There are bubbles but not many. However, those ordinary entertainment or pen practice works have a lot of water. It is estimated that Qi Baishi has more than 3 works in existence, and Zhang Daqian is also quite a lot. After all, they are professional painters who make a living by selling paintings, so naturally there are few high-quality works and more common ones, which is why hot money favors them as objects of hype.”

Hu Yan, who has witnessed the 30-year auction process, has the most right to speak. Today, she sorted out Wu Tianyuan: "When it comes to the so-called new art that is alive, it seems to me that it is completely imitating the performance art of the former Soviet Union or Europe and the United States. That's all! What I have learned is still plausible, only superficial!"

"Twenty years ago, Western investors took a fancy to our Chinese market, bought a batch of them, and then used various means to publicize and hype them, mainly Ullens. A few years ago, when the time was ripe, they began to ship frantically, making Chinese people Taking over by myself, such as the F20 in the art world now, which was unknown ten years ago to tens of millions now, is a blatant scam! In the past two years, the market funds have been tightened, and their things are often unsold. Even Hong Kong's Jiashide is the strongest Even the large professional modern art fairs can’t hold up! This shows that it has no real value space and is not worth collecting!”

After listening to Hu Yan's sharp criticism, Wu Tianyuan agreed very much. The so-called modern art is eager for quick success and quick profit, without the real essence. Naturally, after the hype, it will end in dismal.
