Speaking of this, Huang Xuanlong said emotionally: "This friendship with the Gong family has brought me great benefits, and I also have the opportunity to collect a few old Gong collections, even including the Gong family's very important Tianhuang frozen Dharma face wall statue and Baishou Mountain comet broken arm statue, these two small stone carvings less than ten centimeters high are from the hands of Yang Yuxuan, a famous stone carving master craftsman in the Kangxi Manufacturing Office. Later, the former was auctioned for 15.68 million yuan, and the latter was sold for 10.64 million yuan. ”

"As for the purple clay pot that you are talking about, the process is actually very tortuous, and it is not as simple as it seems!"

Huang Xuanlong was very curious when he saw Su Yuan and Ling Tiancheng, took a sip of tea, and continued: "The sky-high price pot that time was made by Gu Jingzhou, and a total of five were made at that time, Gu Jingzhou kept one for himself, and the other four were given to famous calligraphy and painting seal carvers such as Dai Xiangming, Jiang Hanting, Tang Yun, and Wu Hufan. ”

"Gu Jingzhou used to be called Gu Jingzhou, and he only officially used the name Gu Jingzhou from the beginning of making these five pots. The calligraphy and paintings on the five pots, except for the one hidden by Wu Hufan, which is the cold bird painted by Jiang Hanting, the other four are bamboo branches of different shapes painted by Wu Hufan, and the inscriptions. ”

"When I got this precious information in my interactions with Gu Jingzhou, I immediately realized the important position of these five pots in the pedigree of purple sand artifacts. After a long period of attention and tracking, he finally grasped the whereabouts of four of the pots, but he could not find the pot that Dai Xiangming hid. ”

"I once suspected that the Xiangming pot might have disappeared in the turmoil of history! Finally, I accidentally learned from a friend in the calligraphy and painting circle that a purple clay pot would appear in a small auction in Beijing, with Wu Hufan's calligraphy and painting engraved on it. When I finally saw this pot, I immediately decided that this was the Xiangming pot I had been looking for. ”

"When not many people noticed the importance of this pot, I easily won it for less than 300,000 yuan. Later, even my wife often joked that I just used chicken feathers to exchange chicken wings, and chicken wings to replace chicken thighs, hahaha......"

Su Yuan couldn't help but sigh, this is the professional accomplishment of senior collectors, after all, it is a small probability to pick up leaks, and the golden time when it is genuine everywhere has passed. Now if you want to establish a collection system, you can only have a chance to succeed if you work harder than others, study hard, and accumulate contacts.

Huang Xuanlong took a sip of tea and sighed: "In this life, there is no field to break the inkstone, this sentence has the deepest impact on me! The ancient literati felt that it didn't matter if they didn't have any land, they could make a living by relying on an inkstone. Therefore, the study utensils are not only their spiritual sustenance, but also the best way to understand the sages of their predecessors. ”

"In the past 20 years, the best sellers in the collection market are Ming and Qing dynasty official kiln porcelain, but I think these things are complicated and fancy, especially from the Qing Dynasty. I still prefer literati collections, which are subtle, elegant, and stylish. ”

Ling Tiancheng nodded secretly, Huang Xuanlong is a real expert, not only has a clear grasp of the pulse of the market, but also has a deep cultivation and unique vision.

He picked up an auction catalogue and praised: "Ordinary collectors send auctions, basically the auction company makes a catalogue, when they shoot, they often like to adjust the depth of the scene to a large extent, so that the local details of the photos are very clear, in addition to making it easy for customers to identify, the implication is: look, this is the real thing, from head to toe let you see clearly." ”

"But the Song Pavilion is different, and the depth of field is controlled very naturally in each picture, with virtual and real, giving people an ethereal feeling and a kind of charm of Chinese landscapes. From shooting to text description, research, design, and printing, all aspects of the catalogue were completed by Brother Xuanlong independently. ”

"Brother Ling is overrated!" Huang Xuanlong waved his hand and said modestly: "The ordinary auction catalogue is mainly based on appreciation, so the auction is very clear, but the part of appreciation will be weakened in this way, and the aesthetic part will be missing." Nowadays, people talk about appreciation, but in fact, traditional literati all talk about appreciation, and appreciation is in front of appreciation. I still like the beauty of reviving literati, there is no way. ”

Ling Tiancheng shook his head, looked at Huang Xuanlong, who was hidden deeply, and analyzed in depth: "There are many types of scholars in the collection of Jiansong Pavilion, bamboo carvings, purple sand, and rhino horns are all famous, but what impresses me the most is the stone collection. ”

"Through twenty years of collection, the offering stones in your hand have formed a complete system, composed of various dynasties of the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. Generally speaking, when it comes to the stone offering in the study, it is not easy to receive the Ming and Qing dynasties, and there is no lack of Song and Yuan fine products in your collection. You must know that the aesthetic ability of the literati in the Song Dynasty is recognized as the pinnacle, and the royal family and literati are very reverent of stone, not simple!"

Speaking of this, Huang Xuanlong rarely showed a little smugness, and was impressed by Ling Tiancheng again, but he didn't expect that the other party actually valued the potential of this unpopular field?

Of course, it is not enough to convince modern collectors with these things, so in recent years you have used a series of imaginative ways to restore and enhance the status of the scholar's stone collection. ”

Ling Tiancheng stared at each other with burning eyes, and said: "For example, taking advantage of the ups and downs of contemporary art, the auction influence has repeatedly reached new highs, among which there is an artist Liu Dan who likes to paint stones, and one of his works was auctioned for more than 900,000 yuan in 2006. ”

"You found Liu Dan to paint the stones of the Jiansong Pavilion and put them in the catalogue together. At the same time, in an interview written by the famous photographer Pearson, he compared these beautiful stones to the works of the famous sculptor Henry Moore. ”

Implicit in this is the logic that the scholar's stone is not only an elegant object played by ancient literati on their desks, but also a source of contemporary art treasures. Since the stones painted by Liu Dan are worth more than 900,000 yuan, and the sculptures of Henry Moore are worth 6.2 million US dollars, then it is natural that these stones collected by Huang Xuanlong, which have been played with by literati throughout the ages, are valued at hundreds of thousands or millions of yuan, right?"

Looking at the other party's expressions of interest, Ling Tiancheng said with admiration: "Not only that, but you also record detailed textual evidence next to the pictures of each important stone appreciation, and even provide references, so that collectors can find stones of the same age in a garden in the capital or in the south of the Yangtze River! ”

"Hahaha, the hero sees the same thing!"

Huang Xuanlong laughed heartily, looked at Ling Tiancheng again, and said: "Protecting things but not things, this is my ultimate goal as a man." ”

"Who said that there are no good stones in China, for example, in 2008, Xilan had photographed a Lingbi stone called Moyu Tongling in the Yuan Dynasty, which was in perfect condition and had an orderly inheritance, but in the end it only sold for more than 500,000 yuan, which was less than a fraction of the Lingbi stone and jade mountain in the Yuan Dynasty, which is the charm of artistic operation. ”

Huang Xuanlong showed his grandeur for the first time, and said confidently: "For me, the collection of cultural toys is not only a hobby, or asset appreciation, but also a way of life to make myself happy in the red dust net. ”

"I settled in a place where every inch of land is at a premium in Shanghai, and the house is full of valuable Ming Dynasty furniture, even the fish tank in the living room is a Ming Dynasty thing, and the big copper tank in the Forbidden City is the same model. ”

The whole wall of the study is placed with rare books, and the desk is the Huanghuali royal case of the Ming Dynasty, on which are placed Yang Qichu's purple sand pen holder, Zhang Mingqi's hand stove, and Hongyi's words, which is the life interest pursued by the literati. ”

Su Yuan nodded secretly, Huang Xuanlong really achieved the very high realm of literati, a gentleman loves money, and he has a way to ask for it. Using one's own profession and vision to introduce culture to more people you like, so as to get paid, improve your life, and pursue your own spiritual beliefs, this is the perfect integration of culture and business.

The three of them talked very happily, Su Yuan also benefited a lot, left contact information for each other, and had the opportunity to go to Treasure Island, Huang Xuanlong could be a guide, saving a lot of effort.
