The more valuable the treasure is, the more careful it must be during appraisal.
In order to prevent outsiders from disturbing his mind, Wang Jun closed the outside door with Shen Huan's consent.
Shen Huan was really not afraid of them snatching things.
If he wanted to take action, in such a dense and small place, plus there were so many gold, silver, copper and iron objects, let Shen Huan use his ability to beat the cow across the mountain, and even a hundred people would not be his opponent.
Fortunately, Wang Jun only thought about deceiving people and never thought about killing people and buying goods, so he also escaped.
Shen Huan was sitting alone in the guest seat next to him, drinking tea, and watched the four of them flipping through the two copybooks. The more they read, the more nervous they became, and at the same time, they became more and more excited.
"Mr. Chen, do you think this is right?"
"There's nothing wrong with Wen Zhengming's calligraphy and painting. It's very, very good."
"I have read a lot of Huang Tingjian's calligraphy and painting, and so far, there is nothing wrong with it. Whether it is the use of the brush, the strength, or the spirit, it is all in line with the characteristics of his works in his later years."
"I also think it is right. I compared the two seals of Qianlong, and the details are the same. Ordinary fake paintings can copy calligraphy very well, but if you want to do a good job with these hundreds of seals, large and small, That would be too difficult! It’s even harder than writing the exact same words!”
"But one thing I'm confused about is, why haven't I seen such a good work in the Shiqu Baoji? It has the seal of Qianlong!"
"Well, this is a bit unexpected. But not all the things collected by Qianlong are in the Shiqu Baoji. For example, isn't the Su Dongpo piece in the Shanghai Museum also part of Qianlong's collection? It is still not included in the Shiqu Baoji."
"No matter what, the handwriting, seal, and paper are all open. If we want to find fault inside, it will be difficult to find."
“…”
Listening to them expressing the same opinions one after another, Wang Jun nodded slightly.
These three are well-known calligraphy and painting appraisal experts in Liulichang, and they are responsible for these shops and business operations.
The cost of hiring them is not small, ranging from 100,000 to 500,000 per time. They are innocent and will not take responsibility.
But for the sake of their brand, these people are still very serious, at least worthy of their appearance fees.
All three people said so, and Wang Jun himself thought it was very good, so there should be no problem with its authenticity.
After taking a good look at things, Wang Jun asked them to leave first.
We'll talk about payment later. Anyway, he doesn't dare to skimp on this, otherwise he will never find anyone else to help him in the future.
If it was worse, and the appraisal expert specifically tricked him, the loss would not be just hundreds of thousands.
"Little brother, we are all sensible people, do you think the price this time... is what it is?" When Wang Jun asked Shen Huan, his heart was trembling a little.
He has been in the antique business for 20 to 30 years and has done a lot of shady business. His net worth must be over 700 million to 800 million.
But the store has put down a lot of goods and spent a lot of money. Now it only has more than 100 million funds in hand.
We just used 30 million, and only 100 million are left.
And wanting to spend such 100 million to buy such two masterpieces is simply a dream.
It would be easy if Shen Huan didn't understand, but he knew a lot and knew the purchase price, which would be very troublesome.
However, it is impossible to make Wang Jun give up.
Although he has done a lot of shady business, he still has to do legitimate business. For example, if the wealthy people entrust him to buy something, he dares to use fake goods to deal with them
Then a small tree has already grown on his grave!
Therefore, even if he bought these three treasures at a high price, he could resell them and earn at least 30 to 50 million in ten days and a half at most. What's wrong with this
After confirming that it is genuine and qualified to resell it, Wang Jun is of course willing to take action.
But for this price, of course, the lower the better.
""Ai Lian Shuo" has 119 characters, 322cm long and 37.6cm wide. In addition to Wen Zhengming's reputation and status as one of the four major calligraphers, the price is 70 million. "Sleepwalking Tianmu Yin Farewell" has 285 characters, 4 meters long, I don’t need to mention Huang Tingjian’s name. The highest auction price in history proves his strength. I won’t sell it for less than 150 million.”
Sure enough, when Shen Huan said this, Wang Jun wanted to cry.
"Master, you are trying to kill me!" Wang Jun said pitifully, "Total 220 million, who from Liulichang can eat your goods?"
"If it's not available here, I'll just make a hard trip and go somewhere else." Shen Huan smiled, "There are so many rich people in China, and they all like valuable antique calligraphy and paintings. Do you think so?" ?"
"I like it, but the price... shouldn't be too expensive."
Wang Jun originally wanted to say that the price was not that exaggerated, but when he thought of Huang Tingjian's "The Pillar Inscription", he was immediately speechless.
"The Pillar Inscription" is 8 meters long and has 407 characters, which is not much more than "The Sleepwalking Tianmu Yin Leaves Farewell".
Although the auctions of these works at that time had some elements of inflated prices and rush buying, if you want to say that Huang Tingjian's calligraphy is not worth 150 million, you are really making a mockery of the collectors' vision.
"How about this!"
Shen Huan suggested to him: "You can eat one of the two works, and I will take the rest... If you don't have that much money, don't think about so many things, so as not to increase your worries, what do you think?"
Wang Jun looked at this picture, then that picture, looking left and right, but couldn't bear to part with any of them.
"200000000!"
After a while, he gritted his teeth and glared at Shen Huan: "Two copybooks are 200 million. It is impossible for anyone to give you this price anywhere you go! Unless you dare to risk being discovered and go to the auction! But the auction is also very troublesome!”
Shen Huan seemed a little hesitant when he heard this.
"That's it, okay? I'll give you the money right away! You take the money and leave. We don't know each other! How nice!" Wang Jun quickly added.
After buying it for 200 million, Wang Jun was confident that he could sell it for 250 million.
Because the antique culture market has been booming again in the past two years.
The more advanced the calligraphy and painting, the more people will pursue and like it.
As long as they see the exquisite works of these two masters, how can those rich people not be moved
These people are definitely generous enough when buying things, and 250 million is definitely not high!
"That's okay!"
Shen Huan finally nodded, "Transfer the money!"
"Wait a minute, I'll find a friend to make some money first!" Wang Jun raised his hand and said with a bitter smile, "No one has 200 million in cash, right?"
"Okay, hurry up!" Shen Huan looked at the time, "Is one hour enough for you?"
"That's enough, that's enough!" Wang Jun said, "You sit down and drink tea first. I'll make a call. I'll be back in a minute."
Wang Jun went into the house and made a phone call.
Sure enough, not long after, a middle-aged, thin man walked in with two young people, "Oh, Lao Wang, you don't do business anymore? You actually sold me all the treasures of the store?"
After the middle-aged thin man finished saying this, he saw the fully armed Shen Huan sitting there playing with his mobile phone.
He was slightly surprised, but said nothing more.
Wang Jun didn't have time to talk nonsense with him. The two of them walked into the back room for about ten minutes. The middle-aged and thin man greeted the two young men to go in. The three of them walked out together, each holding a large wooden box.
Wang Jun, whose face was already sweating, looked at the three wooden boxes with a sense of reluctance.
These have been his treasures for the past twenty or thirty years! Many rich people wanted to buy it, but he was reluctant to sell it and kept it as his own sign.
If it weren't for these two more valuable treasures today, he wouldn't have been willing to mortgage them and sell them to that old fox.
But when he turned to look at Shen Huan, his eyes became hot again.
Wait!
In a month at most, I will redeem you after I make money! !
