Chapter 422 Value

Sculpture is a relatively common art in the West, and there are many world-famous sculptures.

For example, Michelangelo's David marble sculpture, Venus with a broken arm, Rodin's thinker, etc., few people have not heard of it.

These world-class sculptures each have their own styles and characteristics, and by virtue of their excellence, they have left a deep impression on people who have seen them.

Of course, the sculpture of a human head that Yu Bin bought back was not of such outstanding value.

It was a simple head portrait of an old man, but the author obviously put his heart into it, showing the old man's aging face, rough gray hair, and cloudy eyes to the fullest, just like a real person.

It's just that this is not a popular sculpture.

Anyway, if it was Meng Dongyue, he would definitely not buy such a sculpture.

If this kind of simple and realistic portrait is placed on the head of the bed, if you wake up in the middle of the night to drink water or go to the toilet, you will not be scared to death!

Even if this sculpture of an old man's head is not a master's work, it is definitely a masterpiece.

If you want to study the field of sculpture, you can also gain a lot from this old man's head.

As for ancient Western coins, it is even more talked about.

In ancient my country, coins appeared for circulation and were used by the general public.However, in ancient times in the West, coins were used to accumulate wealth.

Therefore, the raw materials for making ancient Western coins have always been various precious metals.

In terms of cost, Western ancient coins are obviously much higher than Eastern ancient coins.

There are many types of ancient coins in the West, even if it is the same ancient coin, there will be many different versions.

Therefore, for ancient Western coins, rare ones are not necessarily valuable.Only those ancient Western coins that are rare and have special historical background significance are the favorites of collectors.

The ancient coin that Yu Bin bought cost him a full thousand dollars, much more expensive than the old man's head sculpture next to it.

However, Meng Dongyue and others felt that he was worth buying.

Because the front of this ancient coin is engraved with Salome's head.

Salome, a character in the Bible, is well-known.

Her story has spread widely in the West, and Westerners are very familiar with her.The ancient coins with her face on them have doubled in value.

It's just that the ancient coin Yu Bin bought has obvious defects, and even Salome's head is a little blurred.

This also caused a great loss in the value of this ancient coin.

If this ancient Western coin is preserved intact, or even if it is not so damaged, its price can be multiplied several times, even dozens of times!
Moreover, the collection value of this ancient western coin will increase.

If Yu Bin's ancient Salome coin can be well maintained for a few years, it will definitely increase in value in the future, but the value-added space is limited.

Compared with the sculpture of the old man's head and the ancient coins of Salome, the pocket watch that Yu Bin bought back seems a bit unattractive.

Although the shape of this pocket watch is good, and every part is very consistent with the Western style of a hundred years ago, it is actually just a modern imitation, without any real historical traces, and the price is only a few dozen dollars.

"I know this pocket watch is a fake, and the boss didn't deliberately trick me." Yu Bin explained, "Besides, with my wealth, I can't afford the real one! I just think this watch is pretty. , I just want to buy it back to coax my girlfriend..."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, with playful looks on their faces.

"Okay, brother, I have quietly made a girlfriend!" Meng Dongyue smirked, stretched out his long arms, and immediately hooked Yu Bin's neck, "When will there be a chance, will you marry your girlfriend?" Bring it out and meet us!"

Others also watched with interest.

"Go back to China, how about I make an appointment for you immediately after returning to China?" Yu Bin immediately agreed with "knowledge".

Meng Dongyue was just making a joke, everyone laughed and laughed, and returned to the hotel the same way.

Not long after Chu Ning returned to her room, there was a knock on the door.

She opened the door and saw her father standing in front of the door with a dark face, followed by Shi Jin with an honest expression and Meng Dongyue who was watching the scene.

What's going on here?

Why did the three of them get together and not talk about it, but they all ran to her?

Seeing her daughter appear, Chu Yinglue's face immediately softened a lot.

"Chu Chu, I heard from Dongyue that you bought an oil painting?" Chu Ying smiled slightly, "Can you show it to Dad? I still know something about oil paintings!"

The oil painting was brought back by Shi Jinti, but after returning to the hotel, he gave the oil painting to Chu Ning.

Chu Ning didn't expect Meng Dongyue's mouth to be so fast, and she glanced at him lightly.

Meng Dongyue immediately looked up at the ceiling, as if this matter had nothing to do with him at all.

Chu Ning was angry and funny in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She just stepped aside and invited a few people in: "Of course. Dad, come in and sit down, I just happened to be unpacking!"

The three of them walked in.

Although Chu Ning's room is a small single room, the space is not small.The windows used in the room are floor-to-ceiling windows, and beside the floor-to-ceiling windows, there is also a small round table with two chairs beside it.

Ever since she lived in this room, Chu Ning has seriously suspected that this room is probably specially provided for young couples.

Of course, it is also very convenient if someone works in the hotel.

Chu Yinglue and Meng Dongyue each occupied a chair, so Shi Jin could only stand.

Chu Ning simply let him sit on the side of the bed.

Shi Jin sat up carefully, although the expression on his face was still tense, but his eyes were full of excitement.

Chu Yinglue's fingers on the table trembled, but without saying anything, she glared at Meng Dongyue.

Meng Dongyue looked innocent.

Chu Ning didn't see their eye contact, poured water for the three of them, and then completely removed the packaging on the bed,
The maple leaf oil painting was exposed, and Chu Ning carefully placed it on the small round table.

The small round table can't fit the oil painting at all, but fortunately, the table area is enough, at least the oil painting can be placed on it safely.

Chu Ying took a closer look at the oil painting.

He has been immersed in the antique industry for decades. Although he is best at porcelain and jade, he obviously has certain attainments for other antiques.

However, as Meng Dongyue said before, there is nothing to praise about this oil painting of maple leaves, it can even be said to be defective, and Chu Yinglue saw it right away.

Like Meng Dongyue, Chu Yinglue did not believe that his daughter would buy such an oil painting for no reason.

But he looked left and right, but he didn't see anything strange about this oil painting.

Since he couldn't see it, Chu Yinglue was also open-minded, so he gave up his own search and asked Chu Ning directly, "Chu Chu, why did you spend ninety thousand dollars to buy such an oil painting?"
