It doesn't matter if you don't understand the language, hopefully Kiko Tsuki will help act as a translator, and it won't be a problem to communicate.

It doesn't matter if he doesn't have Shishkin's landscape oil paintings in his hand for the time being, Han Chudong feels that since he hasn't heard of it, maybe the price of that painter's work won't be too high.

Moreover, Ikuta Yudai has not yet made a request for the size and theme of the work, and can buy a piece from another collector for exchange, which is not too much in Han Chudong's opinion.

The work of a Western landscape painter is certainly not as heavy as "Six Dragons" in his heart.

Recently, a lot of middlemen have been hired to help, and some people even helped Han Chudong contact the collector who holds the Yaobian Tianmu Cup, even a layman like him, has also heard of the name "Yaobian Tianmu Cup", in addition to the chicken bowl cup, Xuande furnace, Yuan blue and white pot, porcelain from the five famous kilns, etc.

Some of them are old things that have been hyped up later, but since they can be hyped, on the one hand, it means that they are scarce, and on the other hand, they also show that they have historical significance or artistic value, otherwise how can they be paid attention to among the tens of millions of antiques.

In the case of the beast head he was familiar with, this set of things was a collection of all the necessary prerequisites for speculating on value.

The mystery caused by the uniqueness of a single piece, the hand of a famous artist, and the unknown whereabouts of the individual pieces, and even combined with the humiliating history of the Chinese ancestors around the world, witnessing a major historical event, regardless of whether it is really worth so much money, how much is the price of copper?

Some people are willing to pay so much sincere silver to buy, which is equivalent to having market value, the bubble in the art market is already ridiculously large, and the works of Van Gogh, Monet and others are only frames and paints.

Fortunately, there are not many forces to speculate on Chinese cultural relics, from the perspective of businessmen and investors, and in a few decades, the value of some objects may increase by a thousand times, ten thousand times, the more high-quality, the greater the room for appreciation, and repeatedly emphasize to the middlemen that as long as the reason for the quality is derived from this.

Even if no one hypes it, Han Chudong can do it himself, hang some titles such as the top ten famous paintings and top ten porcelain, and get some left-handed auctions to right-handed auctions, so why worry that no one will pay to take over.

So it's an interest, but it's actually still spinning in the money eye.

Playing collection is an excellent hobby that can not only enjoy the pleasure of spending money, but also as an excellent hobby for investment and financial management, not necessarily less than using a considerable amount of money to do business, and the risk is also small, which is very suitable for people like Han Chudong who have a long-term vision and have spare money.

……

Smoothly met Zhang Daqian in the capital of Orange County.

The famous painter is still alive, in his seventies, with a gray beard, dragging from his chin to his chest, and wearing a pair of glasses.

When they came to the door, Zhang Daqian was weeding in the yard, this old painter who was as famous as Xu Beihong, Qi Baishi and others, was much more famous overseas than the other two, and had been running around to hold various art exhibitions, and his fame went up over time, and he was called "Oriental Brush" by the Western media, and even communicated with Picasso and others.

Considering that the painting styles of the two are completely different, they probably belong to the type of conversation between chickens and ducks.

At the beginning of September, autumn is crisp.

The daytime temperature in Los Angeles is almost 25 degrees Celsius, and when Han Chudong gets out of the car, he can hear the buzzing sound of the lawn mower, his eyes are better, and he can even see the logo of the storm electrical appliance on it.

In addition to independent research and development products, Baofeng Electric is currently cooperating with some small and medium-sized electrical appliances to launch specially customized co-branded models, the number is not much, only a few, it seems that this is one of them.

Let's look at Zhang Daqian himself.

Aside from the characteristic beard, the appearance can be said to be very ordinary.

Probably an unexpected joy after being reborn, Han Chudong can see many celebrities who will not be there in the future, and he has already made the idea that as long as the other party is willing to cut his love, the money will be enough.

At this moment, when he stepped forward to say hello, Zhang Daqian saw three luxury cars coming, and a large group of people came down, who had already turned off the lawn mower and stood there watching.

I saw an acquaintance Ikuda Yuda.

Zhang Daqian asked with a smile in English: "Could it be that I didn't return your painting, bring someone over to bully me, "Six Dragons" is in the house, take it out for you immediately, and invite you to have a drink in the evening, which can be regarded as a thank you." ”

"I don't lack wine to drink, just like I said in advance, give me a copy of your copy of the "Six Dragons", with the characteristics of "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" splashed ink painting, it is the kind of "Thousands of Miles of Rivers and Mountains" you painted. Yudai Ikuta replied.

found that this old man actually knew English, although the pronunciation was a little strange, but it was relatively smooth, Mochizuki Kiko and Han Chudong were a little surprised.

After thinking about it, he guessed why he pretended to be stupid, Han Chudong had a feeling of being deceived, and angrily scolded the old thief, and after thinking about it, he found that he didn't say anything wrong on the way over, and he was very happy, otherwise he would have been listened to by this old and cunning collector.

Zhang Daqian shook his head and said: "I did copy one, but there are nine dragons, and I promised to give you the "Six Dragons" at that time, but it is "Nine Dragons", so I can't give it to you, but you can choose one of my paintings at will." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he asked Han Chudong again: "You are the Chinese compatriot who has been in the newspapers a lot lately, right? The ...... who founded many companies?"

Most of them only remember their appearances, but they forget their names.

Han Chudong nodded and told: "It should be, my name is Han Chudong, Zhang Da's reputation as a painter has spread all over the world, and it is really a blessing to meet him today." ”

Everyone loves to listen to this kind of polite words, Zhang Daqian smiled and stretched out his hand: "Not as famous as your descendant, I am just a painter, Chinese is such a standard Chinese is rare, is it that I just moved with my family when I was a child?"

"My grandfather has been here since he was younger, grew up in Chinatown in Los Angeles, and his family also spoke Chinese. Han Chudong didn't want to talk more on this topic, and took the initiative to mention: "I plan to buy that "Six Dragons", I heard that this painting was borrowed by you, Mr., and I happened to come over to take a look, if Mr. Zhang can cut some works to me, it would be really good, and I will have the opportunity to hang it in my museum in the future, and leave an exhibition hall for your masterpiece." ”

The reason why I say this is actually to take the opportunity to buy more Zhang Daqian's paintings.

Zhang Daqian obviously cared more about the "Six Dragons", and said angrily to Ikuta Yudai: "Since you plan to sell it, then transfer it to me, even if it is to paint a picture of the Empire State Building for you!"

The corners of Han Chudong's mouth twitched slightly, for fear of being robbed of love by a horizontal knife, so he said decisively: "If you really paint an Empire State Building, the price is as you go, I am willing to buy it and collect it, but I have already said the ownership of "Six Dragons" first......
