"John, what do you think?" Standing in the collection room on the first basement floor of Century Manor, Zhou Jiana said to Li Feng with a smile.

At this time, it was already 2 days later, Zhou Jiana, Li Feng's red face, suddenly broke into the villa with people, and then a group of artworks and some staff entered and exited the villa, moving valuable artworks and antique cultural relics into the villa.

Naturally, Zhou Jiana's behavior attracted the attention of the people in the villa, and as a result, Li Feng and several elderly people in the family came to Li Feng's underground collection room to see the dazzling works of art and admired them.

"Okay, dear Miss Zhou Jiana, I really don't understand this thing, you can spare me a lot, help me introduce it. Li Feng said with a smile.

"Hmph... Didn't I give you so many books about these works of art, haven't you even read them?"

"I've read it, and I've seen a lot, if I am asked to recite it, I can recite some of it, but if you want me to read their works directly, say one, two, three, it will be troublesome, for the time being, I don't have such great ability. ”

"Hehe... Giggle..."Hearing Li Feng being so funny, Wang Siqing on the side couldn't help laughing.

……

"Hmph... Listen, these are two works in the form of 'drip painting' and 'black painting', which are representative of the American imperialist abstraction master Jackson Pollock, and I spent a lot of effort to find them, and it cost me more than 10 million US dollars.

And you look at this one, it is one of the representative works of the American imperialist abstract master Mark Rothko, "White Center - Yellow, Pink and Lavender on Rose Red", painted in the 50s.

However, Mark Rothko's works began to become popular in the 90s, mostly between one million and ten million, and so far there have been no works that have exceeded ten million.

However, both my father and I believe that Mark Rothko's works have great potential for appreciation in the future, so this time I bought 6 copies of his works at one time, with a total cost of 30 million.

This is a painting by the modern American imperialist painter Jasper Jones, well, this painter is still alive, so his work is much lower than that, and I acquired a total of 23 of his works, including 19 paintings and 4 sculptures.

From tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands to millions, tens of millions. Among them, his 'White Flag' work is the most expensive, costing 15 million, and it is said that the Met also wanted to collect it, but I preempted it.

The last of them was Willem de Kooning, a maestro who had just passed away in March, and whose work had recently appreciated considerably. Well, anyway, the master died, and his work always appreciated for a while. ”

Perhaps seeing the special smiles of Li Feng, Wang Siqing and others, Zhou Jiana explained helplessly, which immediately caused everyone to laugh.

……

"Pink Angel, Woman No. 6 and Woman and Bicycle, these three works I came through competition with the museum and David Geffen and others, and spent more than 50 million, but I think it is worth it, these three works are his masterpieces, and the potential for future appreciation is huge. ”

Zhou Jiana said excitedly again, obviously, Zhou Jiana was happy with the work arranged for her by Li Feng.

"And this, there are a lot of paintings, bronzes, porcelain, etc. that belong to Huaxia, John, didn't you say that you are going to send them to the courtyard of the imperial capital of Huaxia in batches for collection, I specially prepared some more.

However, Europe and the United States are not enough to appreciate these cultural relics and antique artworks in China, and in general, compared with European and American artworks, it is really much cheaper, and there are very few more than one million dollars, even if these are such as the Song porcelain official kiln that is said to be a classic in China. Finally, Zhou Jiana pointed to a large number of Chinese art relics.

Looking at the many Chinese porcelain, bronzes, ancient paintings, etc., which were densely visited, Li Feng was speechless for a while, looking at nearly 100 works, including classic porcelain of the Qing Dynasty and famous Song porcelain, etc., which cost less than 30 million US dollars.

Li Feng couldn't help shouting in his heart at this time, it's so cheap, if these works are in China in the future, they won't cost millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars, in fact, it's really profitable to buy these works of art now.

……

Although several elderly people in the family knew that Li Feng asked Zhou Jiana to buy artworks, they were still surprised to see so many artworks in the collection room, especially after understanding their value, they were even more stunned.

"Originally, I wanted to collect some of Jeff Koons' works, but I heard that there would be a lot of Jeff Koons works in our Malibu estate in the future, so I didn't contact them for the time being. Seeing everyone's surprise, Zhou Jiana said proudly again.

"Jeff Koons?" Li Feng asked suspiciously.

"Why, John, don't you know, I met with I.M. Pei once, and talked about some design concepts and ideas in the manor, and when the time comes, whether it is sculpture, artwork, etc., Elder Pei will contact Jeff Koons and will make a few design works in our garden and villa. Seeing Li Feng's puzzled expression, Zhou Jiana asked.

"Oh, I really don't know about this, I just told Mr. Pei about the requirements of my manor, as for the design, it hasn't started yet, and when the design comes out later, we'll just verify it." ”

Everyone thought that Li Feng didn't know Jeff Koons and was puzzled, but in fact, Li Feng was surprised, for the legendary artist, to be honest, Li Feng really didn't know much.

In his previous life, he had heard of Van Gogh, Picasso, Leonardo da Vinci, Mona Lisa, and other familiar names, as for the rest of the more obscure people, few Li Feng had memories.

But for Jeff Koons, he had heard of it in his previous life.

……

The main reason is that the artist's career began in the new century, and he himself is relatively young, and his current age is estimated to be around 40, which is really not big, so in the future, I can hear about his news from many media and the Internet.

Li Feng doesn't know exactly what his works are, but he heard a news about him in his previous life, which seems to say that his works rarely exceeded 300,000 before 2000.

However, when Li Feng was reborn in his previous life, his works were often millions, even tens of millions, tens of millions, and the appreciation was too fast. In his previous life, he was always full of fantasies about money, so there are really a few works that he still remembers.

One of them seems to be about Michael Jackson, and the other is about a puppy, as if the value of the future generations has exceeded tens of millions or even tens of millions. Bitcoin is the one about Michael Jackson, which is more widely known, after all, it has been stained with the light of the king of pop. In his previous life, Li Feng also saw the news about the artist because of the news of Michael, the king of pop.

"Jana, this Jeff Koons, I seem to have heard of it, is he mainly based on those animals, comic characters, etc.?" Li Feng wanted to confirm again.

"John, have you heard of him?" Zhou Jiana couldn't help but ask when he heard Li Feng's words.

……

"Hehe, I've always heard that your father has a lot of works by artists from the United States, and it is said that these works were painted before these artists were born.

I've heard that there were quite a few painters who dined at your restaurant, but they didn't have the money to pay for their meals, and your father asked them to use their works as collateral for their meals, is that true?

It's the most expensive meal ever, Jaina, have any of the artists your father befriended come to trouble your father?

Well, since I heard this rumor about your father, I have also tried to understand the young artists of the United States today, and I also wondered if I could invest in others when they were in a downturn in the early stage.

This is what Jeff Koons has heard, and since you and I.M. Pei both approve of his works, then you should go and acquire some of his works. I hope you can buy some of his masterpieces, I'll just take it as an investment, anyway, his works are not worth much now, in case he makes a fortune in the future, then I will make a lot of money. ”

Li Feng naturally can't tell people that I had heard of this bull man in my previous life, so I took his father as an example to illustrate that I wanted to invest in Jeff Koons's works.

Well, after listening to Li Feng's explanation, especially for his father's evaluation, Zhou Jiana gave Li Feng a roll of his eyes.

......

Looking at the gradually enriched art collection room, Li Feng was full of self-satisfaction, although it cost a lot of money, but in Li Feng's opinion, it was still very worthwhile.
