A group of people searched for a transparent bulletproof glass cabinet of suitable size and carefully put "The Road to Shu is Difficult" inside.
Then Zhu Xirui came over and took a key, and Shen Huan got one for herself.
The two keys can only be opened when both of them are present at the same time, and it cannot be opened by another person.
This also prevents accidents to the greatest extent.
As a result, as soon as he got the key, other people swarmed up and pushed Shen Huan aside.
Zhu Xirui couldn't help but sigh and envy, "Teacher Lu, how do you always get such good works? I would like to ask... do you plan to transfer them?"
"Don't worry about it." Xie Yang, who had been surprised, finally found a chance to speak: "Do you dare to buy such an expensive thing?"
Zhu Xirui stretched his neck, "Why don't you dare? I can't do it, but my dad can! My grandpa can!"
But when he said this, he still felt a little guilty.
In 2013, Mr. Liu spent 50 million to buy Su Shi's "Gongfu Tie" from Sotheby's in New York. It only contained the words "Su Shi would like to bid farewell to Gongfu."
How many words are there in "The Road to Shu is Difficult"
Just by looking at the size, you can tell that there are no less than two or three hundred words.
Moreover, calligraphy and painting are all about one size and a large piece. No matter how good your calligraphy is, you still need a poem, a word, or even an article to fully express it.
If this is true, there will be a shortage of 500 million or 800 million. Do you dare to think
As long as it is confirmed to be true, as long as it dares to go to auction, it will definitely create a historical record!
Although the Zhu family is rich, their assets of more than 20 billion yuan are still not enough to be placed on a national treasure-level copybook worth hundreds of millions.
Only the super-rich with a net worth of more than 10 billion US dollars can seriously consider purchasing.
While the three of them were talking, the Japanese collectors nearby also got the news and quickly ran over with their assistants and translators.
"Duoke? Duoke?"
The leader was an old Japanese man wearing a dark blue kimono. He was about 70 years old, but he seemed very impatient. He shouted and pointed at the crowd and rushed inside.
We are a country of etiquette. Seeing them like this, we made some room for them.
The old Japanese man ignored it and put his nose directly on the glass cabinet and looked at it with wide eyes.
The Japanese people nearby were also watching with concentration, and some even took out magnifying glasses and other equipment to watch carefully.
However, they were still more disciplined than the Chinese collectors present, and none of them took out their mobile phones or cameras.
During the placement process, several people tried to take pictures with their mobile phones, but were immediately stopped by the security guards.
Photography of such a national treasure is absolutely not allowed, for fear that taking a photo will damage it.
"This old man is the great-grandson of the Abe family, a famous Japanese collector, and his name is Abe Yuzen." Zhu Xirui introduced to Shen Huan, "The Abe family bought many works from our country in the early 20th century. The largest collection of Chinese calligraphy and painting works in Japan."
"Isn't that true now?" Xie Yang said, "I heard that they were donated to the Osaka Municipal Museum of Art."
"Oh, it's just 160 paintings donated, and Lao Abe just bought 160 paintings? It will scare you to death if I tell you!" Zhu Xirui said, "It's just that they didn't say it, and no one knew. But many people speculated that taking all these works If it comes out, it will be more than enough to support an art gallery or museum!"
"Isn't that very rich?" Xie Yang exclaimed.
"Well, I heard many Japanese people saying that if they all sold out, they would be the richest people in the world!" Zhu Xirui said with a smile, "The Abe family is very noble in the Kansai region of Japan, and the family doesn't do much now. Although they have invested, they can still maintain a wealthy life... I guess, once they run out of money, they will sell a calligraphy and painting, so that they can live a good life for ten or eight years... "
"It really makes people envious, jealous and hateful!"
The few idlers following them couldn't bear it anymore.
indeed.
In this way, you don’t have to do anything. If you have no money, you can just sell a calligraphy and painting, and then you can enjoy a prosperous life. Who wouldn’t want that
Not to mention selling one piece every ten or eight years, according to the Abe family's previous pattern of buying calligraphy and paintings in China, even if they sell one piece a year, it will probably take three to five hundred years to dry up!
"The middle-aged man in a black suit on his left is called Odawara Akira, and he is also a collector." Zhu Xirui continued to introduce, "It is said that their family's origins are even worse. They made their fortune by searching for treasures everywhere in Asia during the XX period, and they are still everywhere now. Buying and selling, very leisurely.
Akira Odawara is a bit sharper and meaner, and he likes to sarcastic people. My dad said that at the previous antique exchange meetings, his bad mouth offended many people.
But Akira Odawara can bring out a few treasures every time, so he also has the capital to be proud of! Let us feel helpless here! "
Shen Huan thought of the Odawara that the fat expert mentioned before, and it must be this one.
The Japanese academic community's attitude towards China is still rigorous but a little friendly.
But it’s different in the collecting world.
Shen Huan had heard Xie Yang say before that they treated the collecting community in China with contempt and disdain.
The most irritating thing is that they take our treasures and come to our country to show off their power, which is even more irritating!
This is also an important reason why Shen Huan wants to cheat the Japanese people.
"The old man on the right of Abe Yuzen, who is only a few years younger than him and wearing a dark green kimono, is called Kameda Joji. He is from a noble family in Nara and is also a master collector." Zhu Xirui added, "This family was established in our country at the beginning of the 20th century. He bought a lot of treasures in China. During Japan's bubble economy in the 1980s, he also bought a lot of treasures in the West.
I heard that many Americans and British people now want to buy back the works of European masters from him! This person is a good person, but he is also very cunning.
The three Japanese benzene collectors who came this time were mainly three of them. About one-fifth of the things in the field were brought by them. They are very powerful! "
Shen Huan turned around and looked at the antiques in the Japanese area.
Although the number is not large, there are at least hundreds of pieces in total.
Three people accounted for one fifth, and these antiques were definitely not mass merchandise, which of course fully demonstrated their strength.
The collection of antiques by the Japanese was inherited from China, but in the past hundred years, it has indeed surpassed that of China by a lot!
