"Oh my God! This painting is so valuable? Why didn't Su Lin tell us?"
Su Guorong was shocked and blamed Su Lin for not telling his wife that such a precious painting was hanging in the living room. What if it was damaged or stolen
"Guorong! You must take good care of this painting by Mr. Tang. Don't hang it up at home like this in the future. A gentleman is not guilty of harboring a treasure. If someone sees that you have Mr. Tang's original painting in your home, It will definitely attract thieves. It’s better to hide this painting well.”
Liang Guoping sighed with emotion and said, "If I had such a painting, I would definitely hide it tightly and not dare to show it to others easily. Guorong, do you know Mr. Tang's status in our Chinese painting circles? A well-known painter in China It can be said that most of the painters are disciples of Mr. Tang. Even I attended a few classes of Mr. Tang at the Central Academy of Fine Arts. If those big painters and collectors know that your family has a masterpiece by Mr. Tang, I guess you Don’t think about peace at home. They are not as easy to deal with as I am. They will probably buy this painting at a high price that you can’t refuse. Listen to me and you must not sell this painting. Keep it. As a family heirloom.”
"Yes, yes... that's what the old chief said. Our family will keep this painting well. Wait, I will call our family Aizhen over and ask her to hide this painting well. How much is it worth? I don’t dare hang a million-dollar painting in the living room like this anymore.”
With that said, Su Guorong hurriedly shouted towards the yard and called his wife Liu Aizhen in, "Aizhen, Aizhen. Come in quickly."
"What's wrong? Lao Su, I'm busy greeting the guests!"
Su's mother Liu Aizhen walked into the room reluctantly, curled her lips and said. She was just bragging about her son with some young boys, but was interrupted by her husband Su Guorong.
"Come in quickly, this is a painting sent by Mayor Fang's mother. Put it away quickly and hide it. Don't hang it in the living room again." Su Guorong stepped on the stool, took down the oil painting, and handed it over. To his wife Liu Aizhen, let her hide it well.
"What's wrong? Lao Su? This is a great painting. I think it's quite impressive to hang in the living room. Why don't you let it hang up?" Liu Aizhen took the oil painting and asked strangely.
"Of course it's grand to hang it. How can an oil painting worth millions not be grand?"
Su Guorong said. "The old chief told me just now that each of Mr. Tang's paintings is now worth millions. This painting is Mr. Tang's final work, so it is even more valuable. If it is auctioned, it will cost at least five to six million. of."
"What? Lao Su, I... I, I, I... did I hear you correctly? You mean... you mean this painting is worth five or six million? This... this is impossible? If this painting is so valuable, why doesn't the little bastard have it? Tell us?"
Liu Aizhen was a little frightened. A painting is worth millions, but that can only be seen on TV! What happened to her today? Liu Aizhen felt that her heart was about to jump out of her chest, and her hand holding the oil painting was trembling a little. This was five to six million! Enough for my family to eat and drink without doing anything for many years. Not to mention anything else, just sell this painting for five to six million and keep it in the bank. The interest earned every year will be enough to cover the family's expenses.
"Perhaps Sulin doesn't know the value of this painting either!"
The old leader next to him, Liang Guoping, smiled and said to Liu Aizhen, "Aizhen, you gave birth to a good son! By the way, when you came to the company to see Guorong, I had a deep impression of you. You But you are a good cook! A few days after you came to the company, the cooks in the army were scolded by the soldiers. Are the fried dishes for human consumption? Haha!"
"Old chief, you have given me a reward."
Liu Aizhen lowered her head, and then carefully placed the painting in her hand. Suddenly she remembered something and whispered to her husband Su Guorong, "Old Su, then... isn't there a painting hanging on the wall behind the TV? Oil painting? Didn't Xiao Lin say that painting was painted by one of Mr. Tang's disciples? Maybe it's not as valuable as Mr. Tang's. Your old leader knows so much about painting, so let him take a look. That oil painting is worth it. how much?"
Now, Liu Aizhen's eyes were filled with ￥￥ symbols, and she was extremely excited! Just such an oil painting can be worth so much money, five to six million! It's like a dream. With these five or six million, why do you and your wife still work so hard? There is no need to worry about the money for his son Sulin to go to college or even buy a house when he gets married in the future.
Liu Aizhen's thinking does not mean that she will really sell this painting. But with this painting, at least it can be regarded as a very wealthy family. If there is any difficulty or a last resort in the family, with the value of this painting in mind, there will be no despair or panic. It can be said that this painting is now a family treasure in Liu Aizhen's eyes.
A painting is so valuable. Liu Aizhen remembered that her son Su Lin brought back two paintings the day before yesterday. One is a painting by Mr. Tang, and the other is a painting by Mr. Tang's disciple. In Liu Aizhen's opinion, the disciple's painting is definitely not as famous and valuable as the teacher's. However, since the master's paintings are so famous and valuable, it is estimated that the disciple's paintings will not be much worse.
That’s what Liu Aizhen thinks! This painting by an old disciple of the Tang Dynasty may not be worth five or six million as this one, so you should have the hundreds of thousands? Mr. Tang's paintings are full of sentiment and are of high value. They can be kept as family treasures and passed on to his descendants in the future. They will not be sold easily. However, this painting by a disciple of Tang Dynasty is a different story. One heirloom was enough. For this other painting, Liu Aizhen was already thinking about whether she could ask the old chief who knew painting to help sell it to collectors.
Liu Aizhen, who did not understand painting, felt that these paintings were a waste of money in her home, and she might as well exchange them for bright red renminbi with collectors who knew how to paint. Therefore, after calming down, Liu Aizhen quietly asked her husband Su Guorong to ask the old leader how much this painting by Tang Lao was worth
"Another painting?"
Because the living room of the Su family is divided into left and right sides, the portrait of the mother-in-law is hung on the raised cement pillar in the middle. The one on the left is the painting that Mr. Tang just painted, and the one on the right is Liu Yizhi's "The Train is Coming" because of the obstruction of sight. Liang Guoping, who had been standing near the door looking at Tang Lao's paintings, did not notice the "The Train is Coming" behind him.
Now that Su Guorong mentioned it, Liang Guoping became curious. As he walked over, he said, "The other painting was painted by Mr. Tang's disciple? I don't know which oil painter it is? But the works of domestic oil painters The value is still limited. If it is a traditional Chinese painting, the estimate may be higher. As for the oil painting, it should not be as good as this final work of Mr. Tang. Let me take a look... "
The words were only half spoken. When Liang Guoping walked over and saw the painting "The Train is Coming", he was immediately stunned. His mouth grew wide, his eyes widened, and he was speechless.
"Old chief! Old chief... you... what's wrong with you?"
Su Guorong was also shocked when he saw his old leader Liang Guoping looking like this. asked hurriedly.
"Old Su. Is it...is this painting not very valuable?" Liu Aizhen also asked weakly. Then he comforted himself and said, "It's okay, even if it's not valuable. Let's hang it in the living room by ourselves. It will still be very grand. But this time, the position on the left is empty again. Lao Su, do you think it is better to hang "Thousands of Horses Galloping"? "Picture" or "Top Ten Marshals of the Founding of the People's Republic of China" is better?"
"This... this... this is "The Train Is Coming"..."
At this time, the old leader Liang Guoping, who was stunned for a moment, was so amazed that he could hardly speak a complete sentence.
"Is the train coming?" Liu Aizhen answered strangely, pointing to the train track on the painting, "Old Chief, this painting is a train! That's right! It's the train coming!"
"No... no... I mean, I mean the name of this painting is "The Train is Coming", isn't it?" Taking a deep breath, the shocked old leader Liang Guoping continued, "I know! I know Oh! This is the work of Master Liu Yizhi, Mr. Tang's most proud disciple! "The Train is Coming" which won the Vienna Oil Painting Gold Medal in Europe this year! It is actually this painting, it is authentic! It is authentic! This is it What a painting! I didn’t expect that I, Liang Guoping, would be able to see the authenticity of this painting with my own eyes! This is the pride of our Chinese oil paintings in the European painting world!"
The old leader Liang Guoping looked like he was crying and laughing like a maniac, pointing at this painting and kept talking.
This look actually made Su Guorong and Liu Aizhen look at each other, a little at a loss.
"Old Su, what's going on... old chief? Does this... does it mean that this painting is also... quite valuable?"
Liu Aizhen did not know the significance of the European Vienna Oil Painting Gold Medal, nor did she know the significance of this painting as a breakthrough in the history of Chinese oil painting. However, she could preliminarily conclude from the attitude of the old leader Liang Guoping that this painting was probably quite valuable.
"It's valuable? Aizhen! This painting can no longer be described as valuable. Do you know how much the big collectors in Europe paid for this painting?"
After all, Liang Guoping was also a member of the Liang family. After a short period of gaffes, he returned to normal, calmed down his mood, stretched out five fingers to Su Guorong and his wife and said: "Fifty million! Fifty million dollars." Ah! Guorong, Aizhen! The value of this painting is far more than that! This is Liu Yizhi's famous masterpiece, and it will definitely increase in price in the future, hundreds of millions of dollars is not an exaggeration!"
"What? Fifty million? It's still US dollars! Oh my god! Old Su, I... I, I... I'm not dreaming! Is this painting really... really so valuable?"
Liu Aizhen was a little out of breath and sat down on her sofa. This stimulation was really too much. Just such a painting is actually worth 50 million U.S. dollars. According to the current exchange rate between U.S. dollars and RMB, it is 300 million RMB! Just such a painting is worth 300 million yuan, which is really unacceptable to Liu Aizhen! This is simply more incredible than winning the 5 million Shuangseqiu grand prize.
"This painting is worth fifty million US dollars? How could Xiao Lin accept such a heavy gift? No, I have to call Xiao Lin in."
Unlike Liu Aizhen, Su Guorong felt that his family could not bear such a heavy blessing. Su Lin only saved Mr. Tang once, and Su Guorong already felt like he was deeply grateful for Mr. Tang's oil painting. Not to mention Liu Yizhi's "The Train is Coming", which is worth an astronomical price of US$50 million.
This was the valuation said by his old chief himself. Based on Su Guorong's understanding of his old chief Liang Guoping, if he said this, the value would only be higher, not lower. Su Guorong got a little angry after accepting a painting worth 300 million yuan without explaining it clearly to his wife. When he walked into the yard, he dragged Su Lin in.
"Dad! What's going on? Why did you drag me in?"
Su Lin was in the courtyard when Li Hao's classmates happened to arrive. Just as he was chatting and laughing, his father Su Guorong suddenly grabbed his ears and pulled him into the house.
"What's wrong? Xiao Lin, tell me, how much is this oil painting worth?" Su Guorong pointed at the painting of Mr. Tang on the sofa, asked Su Lin, and then pointed at the painting on the wall. That piece of "The Train is Coming" by Liu Yizhi asked, "And this one, tell me, how much is it worth? How long are you going to hide it from your parents?"
"Dad, are you making such a fuss? These two paintings are just some of the gifts given to us by Grandma Yanran and her disciples. The friendship is more important. As for the value of the paintings themselves, don't take it too seriously. They are not worth much. .”
Su Lin has not yet seen his father's old leader Liang Guoping, who has his back turned, so he feels that his father may not know the true value of these two paintings. As soon as he said this, he heard the old leader Liang Guoping behind him laughing and joking: "Xiao Su! It's a good thing and a bad thing for you to hide it from your parents. Fortunately, it won't disturb your parents' daily life. , in fact, if this kind of money is used to measure this painting, it is vulgar. So it is better to hide it from your parents, not letting them know the true value of these two paintings, and just treat it with a normal heart. The bad thing is, If you let your parents openly hang such an expensive painting in the living room, isn't that inviting thieves? If there are losses, it won't be worth it."
"Are you? My father's old chief, Uncle Liang?"
From the opponent's military uniform and his ability to paint, Su Lin knew that the majestic soldier in front of him was his father's former army chief, Liang Guoping, now the group army commander of the Fujian Military Region. Seeing that his little trick was exposed by Liang Guoping, he had no choice but to scratch his head and admit to his parents: "Mom and dad, actually, you should not look at the market price of these two paintings. You should look more at their art. Value, this painting is grandma Yanran’s last work, and it depicts the scene of me saving her that day, so it is very valuable. The market will probably give this painting a valuation of five to six million! But as long as we don’t Taking this painting out, none of the collectors knew that Grandma Yanran had painted such a painting. As for this painting, it was a bit more troublesome. It had already become famous in the international painting circles, and some of the great European painters Collectors are eager for this painting. They have offered a price of almost 300 million yuan, but this painting cannot be sold to them. This is the pride of our Chinese painters, who can make European oil paintings mainstream. Players recognize the status of our Chinese painters, and this painting is indispensable, Uncle Liang, don’t you think so?"
"Xiao Su! I didn't expect you and I to come together. Indeed, these two paintings are rare. This "The Train is Coming" is even more valuable, and the painting by Mr. Tang, Uncle Liang I feel greedy after seeing it. You have to make an agreement with your parents to take a good look at these two paintings without any loss! However, you have this insight at a young age, and you can still let Liu Yizhi convert this It's not easy to give you a priceless painting of "The Train Is Coming"! Is it not just because you saved Mr. Tang?"
Jiang was still very old, and Liang Guoping could see at a glance that there must be a story in it. He stared at Su Lin with a pair of deep eyes, and smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth. He always felt that this boy from the old Su family was extraordinary! (To be continued...)
