There is a portrait of a person hanging on this wall, and Ren Xia walks over to look at it carefully, and finally concludes that it is indeed the real work of Delan.

This made Ren Xia unexpected, he thought that Zhigang Art Auction House was a leather bag company, but he didn't expect that there was something valuable. However, this is one of DeLan's early works, which looks very rough, and DeLan's personal style was immature at that time, so the artistic value is not very large.

Ren Xia nodded with satisfaction: "It turns out that you still have some good things." ”

Zhang Zhigang hurriedly asked, "Mr. Ren likes it?"

"I like this painting very much, it fully shows Delan's artistic style, this composition, this line, this use of color, this contrast of light and shadow, it is perfect, it is worthy of the master work of Fauvism......" Ren Xia did not really evaluate this painting, of course, he did not say that it was not really valuable, but gave a high praise: "How much?"

Zhang Zhigang looked embarrassed: "Didn't I say it, it's rare to have such a masterpiece, I am preparing to collect it myself." After a pause, Zhang Zhigang added: "If Mr. Ren wants to buy it, it will make me very embarrassed!"

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about, you can't solve it with money, you just make a price. Ren Xia waved his hand: "I'll pay right away." ”

Zhang Zhigang immediately said: "Eight million." ”

"I can buy you a fake painting for 10 million, and 8 million for a genuine painting is nothing, but ......" Ren Xia said in a long voice: "Since I have given you 10 million for nothing, should you discount this painting, you must know that you promised me that there will be good things at a good price in the future." ”

Zhang Zhigang said slyly: "I'm talking about the future, not the present, this painting is really for myself." ”

"Five percent off - four million. ”

"Can't be sold. Zhang Zhigang shook his head vigorously: "You are too difficult for me." ”

"I really like this painting, I have to ...... it" Ren Xia smiled coldly: "If this deal is done, we are friends, if this deal is not successful, we will not have a next time." ”

"Okay, I can sell ......" Zhang Zhigang pretended to give way: "But four million is really too little, and even the capital is not enough, why don't you let me make more." ”

Ren Xia tentatively proposed: "One person makes a step?"

"Or ...... Six million?"

"Deal. Ren Xia hurriedly shook hands with Zhang Zhigang, as if he had picked up a big bargain: "It's just six million deals, you can't regret it anymore." ”

Zhang Zhigang immediately beckoned his subordinates: "Hurry up and take down this painting for Mr. Ren and pack it!"

The size of this painting is not large, When Zhang Zhigang's subordinates wrapped it, Ren Xia took it in his hand, exchanged contact information with Zhang Zhigang, and said: "Tell me in time if there are any good goods in the future." ”

"At first glance, Mr. Ren is a knowledgeable person!" Zhang Zhigang gave Ren Xia a thumbs up: "If there is a masterpiece, you must inform Mr. Ren as soon as possible!"

Ren Xia asked tentatively: "If there is a masterpiece, how did it come from?"

"There are many ways...... Zhang Zhigang made a lot of money, quite proud, and relaxed his vigilance against Ren Xia: "On the one hand, I have made a large number of acquisitions in the society, and to put it mildly, I am also a little famous in Guangsha, no matter who has something on hand, I am willing to show it to me." On the other hand, I also have some connections overseas, and I have cooperated with many galleries and antique shops, and if customers have any needs, I often ask them for exchange. ”

"Got it, I'll go first, keep in touch. Ren Xia dropped this sentence and left directly.

Ren Xia didn't go anywhere else, but went directly to Fang Zuiyun's house.

After the auction ended, Fang Zuiyun did not contact Ren Xia, and he did not say where he would go in advance.

Fang Zuiyun was a little surprised to see Ren Xia come to his house: "How do you know that I am at home?"

"It's easy to understand the heart. ”

"And!" Fang Zuiyun rolled his eyes: "You seem to be a roundworm in my stomach!"

"If I could stay with you twenty-four hours a day, I wouldn't mind being a roundworm. ”

Fang Zuiyun was a little shy: "You ...... What nonsense!"

"Let's not talk about this for now...... Ren Xia showed the fake painting to Fang Zuiyun: "I bought it for 10 million, how about it, it's fake enough, right?"

"It's fake enough. ”

Ren Xia took out another painting: "However, I went to Zhang Zhigang's office and bought another real painting." ”

Fang Zuiyun is really a person who knows the goods, and he can see it at a glance: "Delan's works...... However, it was early, when the style was not mature and the lines were relatively rough. The highest price is more than 100,000 yuan, if it is a work in the middle and late stages of Delan, it is worth a lot, and it is possible to multiply it several times or even more than ten times. ”

"I bought it for six million. ”

"What?" Fang Zuiyun was very surprised: "You were slaughtered by Zhang Zhigang!"

"I know. ”

"Do you know what else to do?" Fang Zuiyun was even more surprised: "I know that you are not short of money, you came to the auction of Fabergé Easter eggs for such a time, and now you are here again, but you can't lose like this if you have money." ”

"I used to be more generous when I spent a lot of money. Ren Xia smiled and shook his head: "This money is nothing." ”

Fang Zuiyun realized something: "Wait a minute...... You must have some plan. ”

"It seems that you are also a very knowledgeable person......" Ren Xia snapped his fingers: "If you lose, you will gain!"

Fang Zuiyun smiled and nodded: "You have to slaughter Zhang Zhigang fiercely." ”

"That's right, how much money he swallowed me this time, I want to get it back a hundred times. ”

"What are you going to do?"

Ren Xia repeated the conversation between himself and Zhang Zhigang, and said: "I set up such a character in front of Zhang Zhigang, that is, I am not bad for money, I am willing to make friends, and I like art very much. ”

"At the beginning, Zhang Zhigang just wanted to threaten you and launder the 10 million as soon as possible. But if you do this, the relationship between the two of you will be different, and Zhang Zhigang will probably regard you as a friend. Of course, for Zhang Zhigang, friends are all used to slaughter......" Fang Zuiyun very much agreed with Ren Xia's approach: "In any case, if you want to dig a pit for Zhang Zhigang in the future, there will be a chance." ”

Ren Xia sneered and asked: "Since you also know how to paint, can you find a few fakes, preferably from famous artists in the first half of the twentieth century." Zhigang Art Auction House buys all kinds of calligraphy, paintings, and literary toys in the society, and I have given Zhang Zhigang a wind, and I want to receive a few masterpieces of this period, as long as the fakes are very realistic, send someone to take them, and Zhang Zhigang will definitely accept them. ”

"But Zhang Zhigang is a knowledgeable person. Fang Zuiyun shook his head: "What if you see that it's a fake?"

"It doesn't matter if he can see it, as long as I can't see it. Ren Xia smiled: "Why do I spend six million on this painting, in fact, I know very well that Delan's early works are not worth this price, and they have not yet had their own style." But when I negotiated with Zhang Zhigang, I deliberately said that this painting embodies the artistic characteristics of Delan and belongs to the representative work of Fauvism, which is something that only a layman can say. In this way, Zhang Zhigang is sure that I am not a layman, as long as this fake is not too fake, it can almost fool me. ”
