"Do you think this number is okay?"
After careful consideration, Wang Jun gestured with five fingers.
"50 million?" Shen Huan asked casually.
"Five million!" Wang Jun couldn't laugh or cry. "Although Zhang Daqian's paintings are valuable, they are also divided into grades and grades... This kind of copying obviously has low intentions, and of course it is not worth much."
"According to what you said, boss, the average price of this 30-square-foot Zhang Daqian painting is just over 160,000 per square foot?" Shen Huan said, "Do you have Zhang Daqian's paintings in your store? At this price, I'll cover it for you. ”
Wang Jun laughed, "We are not outsiders, we are all old Huajing, so don't be nagging... Young man, I will give you a real price... 7 million! If you don't believe me, ask any store outside, no one can give you Your price!"
When buying and selling antiques, many rely on bluffing and deception.
Wang Jun knew that Shen Huan would definitely get a much higher price than this if he went to another store, but that was what he wanted to say.
Anyway, it’s not illegal to say it, and you won’t lose anything. It’s great if others leave and don’t do this business!
But Wang Jun really didn't want to let go of this young man today.
Zhang Daqian's large-sized boutiques are a real money-maker!
So when he saw Shen Huan move his hand away and slowly roll the scroll, the corner of his mouth twitched: "Slow down! Little brother, how much do you want."
"30 million!" Shen Huan said without raising his head.
"What!?"
Wang Jun roared so loudly that his voice was a little sharp, "You... are you too loud?"
"I'll tell you the truth, when my old man took back this painting, it cost almost 30 million... If I hadn't owed some debts recently, I wouldn't have sold these calligraphy and paintings!" Shen Huan said, "It's been more than ten years, and the price of 30 million is not expensive. Do you like it or not? If you don't pay this price, I will leave!"
"Wait a minute!" Wang Jun quickly took his hand, "Don't panic! Little brother, your price is really outrageous! Otherwise, I will suffer a loss, how about 10 million? You agreed, I’ll transfer cash to you immediately!”
"Do you think I'm a fool? If you buy something for 30 million yuan, it's a time of peace and prosperity. How can you find antiques that don't increase in price?" Shen Huan said, "If I wasn't in a hurry to spend money, if I wasn't afraid that the old man would know, I would have done it long ago. Go to Jiade or Poly Auction!"
"30 million... is really too high..." Wang Jun said with a bitter face, "But little brother, what you just said is that you have other famous calligraphy and paintings on your body?"
"Of course." Shen Huan said proudly, "My old man bought a lot of things, and kept them in the vault to eat dust... I help him take some out and circulate them, which can be regarded as a contribution to cultural exchanges!"
This prodigal!
Wang Jun cursed secretly in his heart.
At this time, he also somewhat believed Shen Huan's words.
Because this genuine Daqian painting is definitely not something that ordinary people can buy.
After entering the 1990s, things like missing out on thousands or tens of thousands of dollars basically no longer exist.
Only by spending big money can you buy good products.
"Why don't you take them all out and show me? Maybe I'll buy them for you right away?" Looking at the big backpack Shen Huan was carrying, Wang Jun was a little greedy.
"One payment for another." Shen Huan shook his head and said, "Let's wait until we finish a business, otherwise you will be spoiled for choice and end up not buying any of them. Wouldn't I suffer a loss?"
"Okay, wait a minute!" Wang Jun hesitated, "By the way, you brought a copybook with you today, right?"
"Bring it!"
"Wait for me for 20 minutes, and I'll ask a few friends to come over and help take a look at this painting!" Wang Jun said, "You know, little brother, you can't be careful with something worth tens of millions!"
"Can!"
Shen Huan nodded slightly.
So Wang Jun immediately called, and soon three men came.
Two are older, about 60 years old, and one is younger, about 50 years old.
In front of Shen Huan, they looked over and over several times before everyone murmured for a while, and then the boss finally nodded: "Just follow the price you said! I suffered a heavy bleeding today! Xiao Brother, please give me a few more treasures today, otherwise I will cry to death!"
Even though the boss sounded so pitiful, he was actually quite happy.
Zhang Daqian's authentic medium-to-large-sized paintings are not widely circulated in the market. Even if this thing is not sold, it can be sold for 40 million next year if it is just kept in your hands!
Can you make so much money doing other businesses
The only regret is that this young man knows his business and insists on the price. Otherwise, wouldn't it be even more surprising to buy it with millions
He took Shen Huan's payment code and scanned it, and 30 million entered Shen Huan's account.
Under the expectant looks of him and the three of them, Shen Huan rummaged in the bag again and took out two calligraphy and painting scrolls.
"Let's just start with these two. Your financial resources don't look very strong, and they are enough for you." Shen Huan said.
"Don't underestimate me. I don't dare to say too much. As long as the goods are good, I will accept hundreds of millions of dollars!" Wang Jun said as he opened the two scrolls with his friends.
"Wow..."
The four of them saw the contents of the scroll clearly and gasped.
"is this real?"
Wang Jun asked a little stutteringly.
"You have to look at it carefully." The oldest old man replied, "However, when I look at this calligraphy, there is an air of elegance and dust. Even if it is not a real work, the person who imitated it must be one of you!"
"Yes, I think so too!" The other two people nodded.
While talking, the three of them took magnifying glasses, mobile phones and other tools and began to compare and check.
Wang Jun is proficient in paintings, but his copybooks can only be said to be okay.
While looking at these two copybooks with everyone, Wang Jun felt a sense of shock in his heart.
Which family is this guy from
Now that I have accepted his goods, people won't come to my door, beat me up and ask for it back, right
Although I won’t lose any money, it’s so uncomfortable to have such a big deal and such a big opportunity to make money but not take it in!
No wonder he was so excited and nervous.
Shen Huan took out two copybooks, one of which was "The Theory of Love and Lotus" written by Wen Zhengming.
The other painting is even more famous, it is Huang Tingjian's work, "Sleepwalking Master Tianmu Says Farewell".
The painting that Shen Huan took just now was copied by Zhang Daqian from Wen Zhengming.
Wen Zhengming was a rare figure in the mid-Ming Dynasty who had both calligraphy and painting. His paintings were as famous as Tang Bohu's, and his calligraphy was as famous as Zhu Zhishan's. He had a great influence on the calligraphers and painters of the Ming and Qing dynasties.
But in calligraphy, he was no greater than Huang Tingjian, one of the four great masters of the Northern Song Dynasty.
Huang Tingjian was a student of Su Shi, but when he was still alive, people already called them both "Su Huang".
A disciple will be equal to his master as long as he is alive, and this master is still Su Dongpo! What an honor and what a talent
Wen Zhengming's copybooks are no worse than his paintings, and their prices have even increased.
Compared with the calligraphy of calligraphers, the paintings of painters have different conceptions in China.
Because we are all scholars, our admiration for calligraphy is deep-rooted - calligraphers are definitely literati, but painters are not necessarily!
Don't look at the paintings of Qi Baishi and Zhang Daqian that cost millions, tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.
But China’s cultural works auction record so far was set by calligraphy works.
Coincidentally, the person who set the auction record for Chinese cultural works is the work of Huang Tingjian in front of me.
At the 2010 Poly Spring Auction, Huang Tingjian's "Inscription on the Pillars" sold for 436.8 million!
Such a price is really jaw-dropping and unbelievable!
