My life has subtitles

Chapter 14 Can’t Say

"Brother Xiao Yang, I'm curious, how did you see the value of this painting?"

Appraisal and identification require both appraisal and determination.

There are three main methods for appraising traditional Chinese calligraphy and painting: aspiration method, comparison method, and textual research method.

The qi-watching method is based on the spiritual characteristics of the work.

The appraiser is required to have a deep knowledge of the art of calligraphy and painting, be familiar with various dynasties and the atmosphere of the times, regional schools and personal styles of calligraphers and painters, and be able to identify the personal characteristics of calligraphers and painters from the inking, pen-writing and other details of calligraphy and painting works. This is also A state of discernment that is difficult to achieve.

This method develops a correct grasp of "Qi" through long-term experience accumulation. It relies entirely on feeling and it is difficult to tell specific truths.

The comparative method is based on the characteristics of the author's writing.

The writing and ink temperament of the works of the same author should be the same. By comparing a large number of characteristics of the works of a certain period or a certain calligrapher and painter, some general rules can be summarized, so as to establish the basic concept of distinguishing authenticity.

The textual research method provides a basis for the appraisal of calligraphy and painting through the collection and arrangement of documentary materials, based on the calligrapher and painter's name, place of birth, birth and death dates, emperor's reign, zodiac signs, taboos, descriptions and collection information.

At the same time, you can also conduct research on the buildings, furniture, utensils, clothing, etc. with the characteristics of the times depicted in the calligraphy and painting works, as an auxiliary reference for identification.

These three methods complement each other and together constitute a relatively complete identification system.

But according to Mr. Lin's observation, Yang Chen did not use any of the above methods.

This cannot be explained by talent or luck.

Hence this question.

Yang Chen smiled.

can not say.

Can't say.

How to say?
  Say you have a subtitle system?
  Or do you say shamelessly that you have a piercing eye?

There's no way to tell.

If you can't say it, just laugh and say nothing.

Yang Chen didn't say anything, and Mr. Lin didn't ask any further questions.

Strictly speaking, this kind of thing belongs to people's ability to eat. Why tell outsiders?
  Can understand.

The others originally listened with their ears pricked up, but when they saw Yang Chen smiling and saying nothing, they could only look away in disappointment.

"I'm going to sell this painting. I wonder who is interested?"

Yang Chen started looking for a buyer for this painting.

"Of course, for the sake of safety, you can invite relevant experts to conduct more appraisals. I will definitely cooperate fully."

The market price given by the system is 2700 million.

The actual value is about 3000 million.

Without it.

Because this is the first layer of Zhang Daqian's imitation of the original "Residence in Qingbian".

Naturally, it is more expensive than the second level of the auction.

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Mr. Lin.

Mr. Lin is a leading authority in Chunan Province and a master of appraisal of calligraphy, painting, coins and jade. If he had spoken first and expressed his willingness to buy, no one would have fought.

Elder Lin naturally knew what they meant.

"The value of this painting is about 3000 million, and I can't afford it with my old bones!"

Having said this, Mr. Lin paused: "But I have a friend who once spent 2700 million to take a picture of Zhang Daqian's imitation of Wang Meng's "Residence in Qingbian" on Hong Kong Island."

"That's right, it's the one that was sold at Christie's Hong Kong Autumn Sale in 10."

"I think he would be very interested in the original painting of the same style in your hand."

"He is in Xingsha, I can contact him for you."

It takes a certain amount of strength to eat something worth tens of millions.

Strictly speaking, Zhang Wenyu's antique shop is a small one. With his strength, he will definitely not be able to afford it, and he will have to look for buyers in many ways.

Although Guo Xueren and Huang Ronglin have this ability, it is definitely unrealistic for them to take so much money at once.

Although Mr. Lin is a leading authority, he doesn't necessarily have much real money, and he spends it all on collectibles.

So Mr. Lin took the initiative to build a bridge, and everyone was okay with it. Yang Chen nodded and agreed.

Upon seeing this, Mr. Lin got up and went to the side to make a phone call.

After that, I hung up the phone and told him to wait for half an hour, the man would be on his way.

After half an hour.

A middle-aged man with a steady temperament wearing casual clothes strode in.

Behind him was a girl, probably an assistant.

There is also a thin man wearing glasses.

"Mr. Lin, Director Guo, Mr. Huang, hello, I kept you waiting for a long time."

The middle-aged man in casual clothes has a majestic face, a loud voice, and the steps of a dragon and a tiger. As soon as he walked in, he greeted him enthusiastically and had a very powerful aura.

Everyone stood up and responded.

"Boss Wang, come on, come on, you are a busy man, I won't talk nonsense."

Mr. Lin pointed at Yang Chen.

"Just now, this young man spent 10,000 yuan to buy a copy of Zhang Daqian's "Residence in Qingbian" by Wang Meng. After my appraisal, it is indeed authentic."

"I know you took a picture on Hong Kong Island before."

"Although I don't know why there are two identical authentic paintings, I think you must be interested in the "Hermitage in Qingbian" which was also painted by Zhang Daqian."

Hearing this, Boss Wang took the initiative to shake hands with Yang Chen.

"Mr. Lin, I'm not just interested, my current curiosity can kill a tiger."

That's right.

Who can spend tens of millions on a painting, only to be told that there is an exact same painting?

Who wouldn't go crazy?

If you want to say that you were deceived, experts and professors unanimously believe that it is genuine, and all kinds of information and detailed data also support it.

If you want to say that you were not deceived, how can you explain the other picture?

Boss Wang came in such a hurry because he wanted to find out.

If someone else had said that, he might have dismissed it.

But Lin Shugeng is such a person, so naturally he would not make such international jokes with him.

"Brother Xiao Yang, this boss Wang is the founder of Qianheng Group, a real estate professional, and a senior collector. Please show him the painting."

Mr. Lin briefly introduced Yang Chen.

"Ok."

Yang Chen handed over the painting.

Boss Wang took it and then turned to hand it to the thin man wearing glasses behind him.

"Don't mind Mr. Lin. Although he is not famous, his vision is quite accurate. I asked him to help me take a look. I have no other intention, just to put my mind at ease."

Boss Wang explained.

Mr. Lin smiled and didn't take it to heart at all.

"It doesn't matter, be careful with Wannian Ship. Boss Wang is right to do this."

The thin and handsome man was also very professional. He put on white gloves, carefully took the painting, slowly opened it, and after some appraisal, he confirmed again: "It is an authentic imitation of Wang Meng by Zhang Daqian!"

Boss Wang nodded and said to Yang Chen:
  "Young man, make a price."

Yang Chen thought for a moment and blurted out: "3500 million!"

The reason for overquoting 500 million is naturally to leave some room for bargaining.

Unexpectedly, Boss Wang waved his hand and said boldly: "Deal!"

Tens of millions of things are what you want.

As expected, he is engaged in real estate and is rich!
