Since he has to fight him to the death, Chen Shuiyuan has no scruples. For such a stunned person, he felt that it was quite simple to deal with.

The painting in front of me is a painting of bamboo, judging from the inscription and the artist's seal, this is a painting by Zheng Banqiao, one of the eight monsters of Yangzhou.

The so-called Yangzhou Eight Eccentrics refers to a group of calligraphers and painters with similar styles who were active in Yangzhou from the middle of the Kangxi Dynasty to the end of the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, and they are often called "Yangzhou School" in the history of art. In the history of Chinese painting, there are different theories, but the more recognized ones are: Jin Nong, Zheng Xie, Huang Shen, Li Eel, Li Fangying, Wang Shishen, Luo Ping, and Gao Xiang.

Most of them came from poor backgrounds, lived a hard life, and were high and wild, and calligraphy and painting often became a medium to express their aspirations and true feelings. The style of calligraphy and painting of Yangzhou Eight Monsters is different from ordinary people, unconventional, and sometimes derogatory, so it is called "Eight Monsters".

And Zheng Banqiao, known as a genius in poetry, calligraphy and painting, has been an official.

In his official career, he took measures such as "opening a warehouse to give loans" and "donating money instead of losing" to the common people who had suffered from famine for many years, which aroused the dissatisfaction of corrupt officials, evil tyrants and inferior gentry, and he was demoted. After that, he made a living by selling paintings.

Zheng Banqiao's life has experienced ups and downs, tasted ups and downs, and seen through the heat and coldness of the world, and he dared to blend all of this into his works.

Everyone also knows that the bamboo painted by Zheng Banqiao, the shrimp of Qi Baishi, and the horse of Xu Beihong are all well-known in the art world and are very precious.

Only those who have really studied Zheng Banqiao's bamboo painting will know that the three stages of his bamboo painting are "bamboo in the eye" to "bamboo in the chest" and then to "bamboo in the hand". The composition layout can be described as "chaotic but not chaotic", "sparse and dense", and the ink is "suitable for shade" and "wet and dry at the same time".

The reason why Chen Shuiyuan is more certain is that this is genuine, not only because of the painting, but also because of the font on it, that is, calligraphy.

Zheng Banqiao's calligraphy is relatively special, and he created his own system, which is called "Banqiao style" by outsiders, and he himself calls himself "six and a half points" book.

"Six-and-a-half" calligraphy, this is Zheng Banqiao's scherzo for his original calligraphy. There is a kind of "eight-point book" with many strokes in the official book, the so-called "six and a half points", which means that it is generally the official book, but it is mixed with other book styles such as Kai, line, seal, grass and so on.

This kind of calligraphy is quite distinctive, he can intersperse the size, length, square, thin, and sparse staggered, such as "stone paving", and there are rules in the indulgence. It seems to be a casual stroke, but the overall view produces a sense of jumping and agile rhythm.

Take the calligraphy font on the painting in front of me as an example, the knots are large and small, the thickness of the strokes is thick and thin, the posture is oblique, the dot painting, the press, and the turn are like joy in the ears, the birds fly in the air, and the fish swim in the water, revealing the backbone and brilliance in a rhythm of arbitrary mood.

From the identification of these calligraphic fonts, Chen Shuiyuan believes that this is the authenticity of Zheng Banqiao.

In this way, he made a rough estimate of the painting, so that he could trap the rampant bastard boy.

Zheng Banqiao's paintings now have an average price of more than 1 million yuan, and the most expensive ones have been sold for more than 40 million yuan, but they are his masterpieces and cannot be used as a basis for valuation.

The painting in front of him is Zheng Banqiao's best bamboo, and the work also contains Zheng Banqiao's calligraphy and poems, which can be regarded as a combination of poetry, calligraphy and painting, and is definitely a top-class work of Zheng Banqiao.

Well, it's worth more than three million.

To be honest, if it weren't for the words of Populus Hu just now, he would have chosen to compete with Populus euphratica. But the other party has made it clear that no matter how much money he pays, that guy will follow, so there is no need to waste time. Anyway, if you can't get it yourself, you can't make others feel better.

His mentality is actually the same as everyone else's.

"Hehe! I'm not old, my tone is not small, and I am afraid that you will not be able to afford it. Chen Shuiyuan sneered.

Hu Yang has a bit of a rich second-generation posture and tone: "What are you kidding? I can't afford it? You might as well call a price and try it." ”

"Then I'll give a million, you ...... if you have the ability"

Before he finished speaking, Hu Yang shouted: "One hundred and ten thousand." ”

This kind of quotation, a discerning person can know that it is really finding fault at a glance, and it is obviously aimed at people.

The stall owner was so excited that his hands trembled, one million and one hundred thousand, he could never have dreamed of it! He had been in this business for so long, and the most expensive one he sold was more than 50,000 yuan, which had been enough for him to brag for more than half a year.

He almost blurted out: "Handsome guy, I'll sell it to you, just one hundred and one thousand." ”

After speaking, for fear that Populus euphratica would regret it, he stuffed it into Populus Hu's hand. He was afraid that after a while, the two of them would quarrel and quarrel, and they would not admit it, so it was better to hurry up and cook raw rice and mature rice now.

The stall owners around him understood this very well, and if it was them, they probably did the same.

Perhaps, some people feel that there is no need to be in such a hurry, let them continue to compete, and there is still room for prices to rise. However, you have to take into account that both sides are playing as if they were joking, and in the end they shout that the price is too high, and they don't want it.

So, sometimes you can't be too greedy, just stop when you need to.

To be honest, one hundred and ten thousand, which is a huge amount of money for a person who sets up a stall, should be satisfied. Don't end up with nothing for yourself.

Seeing the stall owner's operation, Chen Shuiyuan immediately became anxious, and secretly scolded the stupid in his heart.

"Boss, I'll give five million. What are you anxious about? Will he follow anyway, does he think he has a lot of money?" Chen Shuiyuan said to the stall owner.

Chen Shuiyuan thought about it in his heart just now, and felt that the four million yuan of this painting should be at the top. So when he was in a hurry, he shouted out five million, no matter if Hu Yang added 10,000 or added one dollar, he would suffer.

After all, there is a big difference between one million and five million, and everyone knows that it will cost five million!

He couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure you want five million?"

Hu Yang smiled and handed the painting to the stall owner: "Boss, then you sell it to him." ”

However, the stall owner did not answer, but continued to stare at Chen Shuiyuan.

Naturally, Chen Shuiyuan couldn't have started with 5 million! He shouted this price to trap people, not to bury himself. Who knows, this kid's words don't count?

For a moment, he was silent and began to be mute.

Seeing his performance, the stall owner glared at him fiercely and scolded: "Don't pretend to be garlic if you don't have money, what's the fun?"

After speaking, he turned his head, changed his smiling face, and said to Hu Yang: "Handsome guy, I also hate traitors, and I won't sell him as much as he gives." ”

The audience in the live broadcast room rolled their eyes in unison, which sounded too fake.

Just now, if the traitor promised to give five million, would you not sell it?

Damn! That traitor is a little thick-skinned! It seems that Brother Hu is going to pit himself into it this time!

I couldn't see that Hu Yang got Zhang Banqiao's painting for one hundred and ten thousand, Chen Shuiyuan hurriedly spoke again: "Two million, I will give two million." ”

However, it is clear that the stall owner has no trust in him. In the eyes of the stall owner, this dead traitor is a-stirring stick. He thought to himself, if he hesitated any longer, this handsome guy would really not buy it. When the time comes, this shit-stirring stick will also pat his ass and leave, who will he cry to?

So, the stall owner viciously spat out a word to Chen Shuiyuan: "Get out!"

Chen Shuiyuan was so angry that he could only watch as Hu Yang got the painting for one hundred and ten thousand. He regretted it terribly, he should have shouted five million in the first place.

Andy and others, as well as the audience in the live broadcast room, all felt that Brother Hu had pitted himself in.

Using millions to disgust people is a bit expensive, if it's tens of thousands, it doesn't matter. Although, tens of thousands of yuan and millions, both may be similar to Brother Hu, but they also feel pain for Brother Hu!

Moreover, in their opinion, it did not disgust the traitor.

In the end, Chen Shuiyuan couldn't help but break the news: "This painting is worth at least three million, you just wait and regret it!"

But the stall owner didn't believe it at all, just thought that this guy was angry and talked nonsense. Judging from the performance just now, whether it is Populus euphratica or this traitor, it is a battle of will.

That painting, estimated to be worth more than 1,000 yuan, can be sold for a million, which is already the result of vindictiveness.

"What if it's worth three million? Little brother, he fell in love with me, I am willing to give it to him, no matter how much the little brother sells for it, I don't care!" said the stall owner solemnly.

"Stupid!" Chen Shuiyuan couldn't help but curse.

He didn't want to see Hu Yang's villain's triumphant expression anymore, so he turned around and walked towards the second floor.

Hu Yang quickly transferred one million and one million to the stall owner, raised his thumb and said with a smile: "Boss, I scolded happily just now, and this should be the case when dealing with traitors." ”

When the stall owner received the money, he was in a good mood: "It must be a must, because he runs fast, otherwise, hum!"
