Chapter 152: Black Market Meets Famous Paintings
The car was guided to an empty parking lot, which is divided into two levels, and those parked on the lower floor are permanently stationed here, and those parked in the open air are basically not staying here for a long time.
After parking the car, they left the parking lot, there were more people on the main street, Su Changming excitedly introduced: "Because there is a small auction today, today may be the most crowded time in recent times." ”
Zhao Yang suddenly realized, but he had no interest in auctions, where to sell the best things, but also the most boring.
When the two of them were talking, Su Changning followed behind the two of them, and there were no illustrations, just looking around.
At this moment, as if he had seen something, he suddenly grabbed Su Changming's arm and said, "Brother, look!"
Listening to Su Changning's words, the two of them turned their heads directly and looked over, only to see that the direction of his finger was a small shop, and the shopkeeper was wiping his door number, but this was not the point, the point was that there was a golden-colored metal cat in his shop.
"Let's see?" Su Changming turned his head to look at Zhao Yang.
Zhao Yang was also a little curious in his heart, nodded slightly, and followed.
The three of them walked in, only to see that there was more than one kitten like this in the store, and at least three of them were placed in the display case.
The shopkeeper said casually: "Which one do you see is the golden statue of the Egyptian cat god Best, but it is painted with gold lacquer, and it is 200,000 yuan a piece." ”
200,000? Zhao Yang glanced at the cat god statue of about 20 centimeters, this is indeed not gold, it should be made of copper, and such a big thing actually costs 200,000.
He subconsciously wanted to activate the Divine Eye to see if this thing was worth anything, but at this moment, Su Changning said excitedly: "I didn't mean this, you look at this." ”
The two of them followed his gaze and saw a one-meter-long oil painting placed in the corner of the display case for people to see.
The shopkeeper said indifferently: "I don't know who painted it, if you are interested, take 100,000 yuan." ”
Zhao Yang slightly, he directly activated the Divine Eye, but to his surprise, this painting actually showed a sky-high price.
"Thirty million. ”
He was stunned for an instant, this thing was actually worth 30 million, but looking at the name, it was a person he didn't know at all, and he had some doubts in his heart, but he didn't say it, but he also became interested in this painting.
But to his surprise, although it was worth 30 million, the Divine Eye showed him that the price of this thing was less than 100,000.
Generally speaking, the actual value of the antiques displayed by the Divine Eye is the same as the selling price, but this is indeed very strange, and the price difference is so much.
In other words, it is worth 30 million, but in fact, it can only be sold for 100,000 at most.
It's like a cultural relic, maybe its value is priceless, but when it actually sells for three million, few people are willing to buy it.
"Cheaper. Zhao Yang said deliberately.
It was impossible for him to tell the shopkeeper the value of this thing, but instinctively showed an expression of diswanting and reluctance.
This painting is a picture of a woman with a turban, which is a standard foreigner portrait, the woman in the painting is not a god, but it gives people a peculiar beauty, Zhao Yang can't say that feeling.
The shopkeeper rolled his eyes, in fact, the price he gave 100,000 was just a false price, and this thing was also gray in his store, and he was willing to sell it for 50,000.
"Then 80,000, I think you also have a heart. The shopkeeper said with some reluctance: "But don't talk nonsense when you go out, my antique shop never gives discounts." ”
"Thank you to the owner. Zhao Yang smiled slightly, Su Changning understood, and immediately swiped the card for the boss.
The three of them returned to the car, and Su Changming asked Su Changning curiously.
"This painting is not as good as our sister's painting, what do you want him to do?"
Su Changning said very happily: "This is my favorite painter, his name is Leon Sheng, this should be his early works." ”
"Yo, so we spent so little money to buy the real thing?" Su Changming said excitedly: "Brother-in-law, do you know how much this is worth?"
Before Zhao Yang could speak, Su Changning said helplessly: "This painter is still alive in the world, and a painting has only been sold for 50,000 yuan at most, and I think the value of his painting is definitely much more than 50,000." ”
Zhao Yang was slightly stunned, and he said suspiciously, "Then how old is he now?"
"It's eighty-seven, and this painting is supposed to be the work of his youth, and it is very collectible. Su Changning said with a smile: "Although you may not be very interested, I like it very much." ”
Zhao Yang said with a smile: "Since you like it, keep it well, I believe it will definitely be valuable in the future." ”
The estimated price of this painting is as high as 30 million, which means that people have not yet understood the deep meaning of this painter, and it may really be that his painting can only be worth money after he dies.
Carefully put away this painting, Su Changning was sent to open a room by Su Changming, they should not leave here tonight, after all, Su Changming still wants to participate in the evening auction very much.
And just as they were walking on the road, they suddenly heard a hoarse shouting sound at the intersection.
There were a lot of people around there, and it should have been a man listening to the voice.
"Let's see?" Zhao Yang turned his head to look at Su Changming, Su Changming was the kind of character who wanted to mix in if there was excitement, and hurriedly nodded and said, "Okay." ”
The two of them squeezed into the crowd, came to the front of the crowd, and saw firsthand what was going on here.
I saw a man sitting on the ground with a few oil paintings beside him, Zhao Yang was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart Isn't this the same author as the one just now, they are all painters that Su Changning likes.
But when he took a closer look with his divine eye, he was stunned, the actual value of the previous painting was only 100,000, but looking at these paintings again, each painting was nearly 10 million, not counting them, their actual price was also 10 million.
In other words, if some paintings are sold now, they can be sold for at least 10 million.
But it was obviously not like this just now, and he was shocked, could it be that the painter did something to make the price of antiques fluctuate when this divine eye saw it?
At this time, the man said hoarsely: "Guys help me, I am definitely the true handiwork of Leon Saint here, if it is not really no way, I will not be able to sell them." ”
Most of the onlookers were watching coldly, they didn't know who Leon Saint was, and even if they did, they knew that his paintings couldn't be sold for money.
Zhao Yang stepped forward curiously and asked, "Sir, how much are you going to sell this painting for?"
"There are six paintings in total, and one painting is a million!" the man hurriedly said, "This is really not expensive, his artistic value is definitely worth this money." ”
Listening to the man's words, some people in the crowd laughed, and some kindly reminded Zhao Yang and said: "This painter's paintings are not valuable, and his output is also high, basically 20,000 yuan a bundle." ”
Zhao Yang glanced back at him, of course he knew that this was a joke from passers-by, but now, this painting is really worthless in the eyes of everyone, except for Zhao Yang and this seller, it is estimated that no one believes that this thing is worth a million.
Su Changming frowned slightly when he heard this, and he said: "This is also too expensive, the one I bought for Su Changning just now was less than 100,000, why did it increase tenfold when I came to him." ”
Zhao Yang didn't answer Su Changming, but turned his head to look at the man and said, "How many paintings do you have of this person?"
The man was stunned, and he hurriedly said, "I won't sell my other paintings!"
"I didn't ask for your painting. Zhao Yang said helplessly: "I just advise you not to sell other paintings, this person's paintings will be valuable." ”
He didn't name names, but spoke euphemistically.
The man was slightly angry, and he said, "This man's painting is priceless, how can you judge his value by how much it is worth, even if he can only sell it for a penny, I will still regard it as a treasure." ”
Zhao Yang sighed and said helplessly: "Okay, although I don't know what problems you encountered, but I have accepted all the paintings you sold, one million each, right? ”
The man was stunned, and he hurriedly said, "Is what you just said true?"
Zhao Yang nodded slightly, and he said, "Although I don't know what problems you have encountered, since you are willing to take out your treasure and sell it, I will also buy it based on this." ”
The man thanked Zhao Yang gratefully.
Zhao Yang then said: "Don't worry, although I bought this painting for two million, I just kept it for you, and if you have money in the future, if you want to redeem this painting, I will definitely return it to you." ”
Passers-by laughed as they listened, and a passer-by said.
"Is this still redeemed? A painting worth a few thousand dollars will be redeemed for two million, and a fool will redeem it. ”
"That's right, this is really a big liar who met a big fool, and this big fool was moved. ”
Everyone was talking, and Su Changming shouted angrily: "I see whoever chews his tongue again, I will cut his tongue!"
"Hehe, I suggest you don't buy this thing, if you really want it, the market next door, a painting is 30,000, you can buy a car." ”
"Who! Who didn't understand Lao Tzu's words!" Su Changming turned his head angrily, but he was instantly stunned.
I saw that this person was a thin figure, holding a piece of hexagonal cold jade in his hand, his face was like a mouse, his eyes were sharp and gloomy, but he had an indescribable strange temperament.
The most important thing is that he still knows this person, Su Changming was slightly stunned.
"Wang Sinan, why are you?"
The man named Wang Sinan ignored Su Changming, but came to Zhao Yang's side and said to Zhao Yang: "Brother, you still don't want to be angry and lose money in order to help others." ”
Zhao Yang smiled slightly, turned his head and said, "This doesn't bother you brother, since I paid for this thing, I must believe in the value that this thing brings me." ”
