Chapter 32 Steady Development

Leaving Beijing Antique City, Tang Feng took Zhu Yunming's "Pointing to the Country" to the street park across the street and found a big stone and sat down. He didn't buy this painting entirely for art investment, he really liked this painting, this "Guiding the Country" was completed in the year of Chenghua Wuxu, that is, in 1478 AD, when Zhu Yunming was only eighteen years old. Zhu Yunming's background is very unfortunate, he lived with his maternal grandfather Xu Youzhen when he was a child, which is similar to Tang Feng, who grew up with his grandfather. Xu Youzhen's career has been bumpy, with several ups and downs, and he has been imprisoned several times, so Zhu Yunming's family background is not very good. That's it, the unfortunate thing is still to come, Zhu Yunming lost his father at the age of thirteen, his grandfather Xu Youzhen died five months later, and at the age of sixteen, he was hit again, and his mother also died.

After the successive blows, Zhu Yunming was in a difficult situation and could only rely on selling paintings to make a living, which is why he could only buy the cheapest silk on the market at that time to paint. But it was in this environment that Zhu Yunming did not give up his ideals and eventually became a generation of famous artists.

No matter what the truth is, Tang Feng has always stubbornly believed that the young scholar standing with his hands in the painting is Zhu Yunming's self-portrait. is in a difficult situation but does not forget to point out the country, which is similar to the sentence "Beijing, you will be proud of me" that Tang Feng said on the street.

A silly boy from the countryside to the capital, Tang Feng relied on his own strength plus a little luck to earn millions, which is easy to say, but in the middle, who can understand that the hardships he has experienced in his heart, almost every step forward is difficult. The pressure brought by putting all the eggs in one basket is not something that everyone can bear, picking up leaks is like rock-paper-scissors, there are too many accidental factors, and Tang Feng himself no longer dares to choose between truth and falsehood.

Speaking of which, Tang Feng himself felt ridiculous, he only had a few hundred yuan around him before, but he looked at it quite openly, and at that time he felt that he could afford to lose. Now that he has more money, he suddenly finds that he is beginning to suffer from gains and losses, he is no longer willing to leave everything to luck to arrange, he wants to grasp the initiative and pursue more stable development.

Art investment is expensive in the collection, only through the collection can win the appreciation of the space, and the collection requires a lot of money, just by picking up the leakage can not accumulate wealth, always can not expect to pick up a Yuan Qinghua. Besides, even if he really picked up a rare treasure like Yuan Qinghua, Tang Feng was not willing to take it out and sell it, and those things would still be passed down at home for several generations. Tang Feng thought about it, and suddenly looked down at the painting in his hand, and after a long time, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly, after working for so long, this painting was all explained, if it wasn't for the golden Buddha and the wat board to support it, he wouldn't dare to buy this painting.

It's time to do business, and although Tang Feng hasn't figured out what to do yet, he's already decided. The environment affects the mentality, growing up by the sea, broad-minded, growing up in the mountains, strong-willed, Tang Feng, who has formed an indissoluble bond with antiques since childhood, seems to be older than his peers, and in the process of choosing one of the two many times, his mentality is becoming more and more mature.

When Tang Feng returned home, Lin Muyu, who was struggling to "key" the book, put down the work in her hand, she looked at the painting in his hand and asked, "Is this painting the work of that famous artist?"

Tang Feng said: "This is Zhu Yunming's "Pointing the Country" in the Ming Dynasty. ”

"Come, sit down and talk to me. Lin Muyu turned sideways and let go of most of the chair and motioned for Tang Feng to sit down.

"Hmm. Tang Feng put his arm around her shoulder and sat with her, after he finished speaking, the corners of Lin Muyu's mouth turned up slightly, and said: "1.48 million? ”

"Well, the collection does have a lot of money, but it appreciates quickly. Tang Feng said: "Don't underestimate this painting, it may double in two or three years." ”

Lin Muyu said: "It's hard to say how much it will be doubled, but at least it won't depreciate, so keep it." ”

"Oh, yes. Tang Feng said, "I'm going to Tongzhou tomorrow." "I don't know the place well, and I don't know if I want to do business, Tang Feng decided to ask Chen Yan, this guy is a good person and a trustworthy friend.

Lin Muyu said: "Then I'll send you there." ”

"No, you're still busy. Tang Feng said: "It's a lot of trouble to send it back and forth." ”

"Tang Feng. Lin Muyu proposed: "You better learn to drive, it's so convenient." ”

"Learn to drive?" In Tang Feng's concept, driving is still in the ranks of craftsmanship, and he is not interested, he said: "I haven't thought about it for the time being, let's talk about it after a while." ”

The next day, Tang Feng came to Chen Yan's house in Tongzhou, and it was a shame that he didn't tell Chen Yan the truth about the rubbing last time and his wife, otherwise this traditional woman's face would not be good-looking. Chen Yan's wife took Tang Feng to Chen Yan's studio in the backyard, where Chen Yan, wearing an apron, was walking around an old tree lump with a chisel in his hand. Seeing Tang Feng coming, Chen Yan put down the work in his hand and greeted him warmly: "Tang Feng, you are a rare guest, this is the first time you have taken the initiative to come to my house." ”

Tang Feng looked at the ugly wooden pimple and asked Chen Yan, "Can you make money in this business?"

Chen Yan sighed and said: "It's too fake to say that it is too fake to ensure food and clothing, it is basically a well-off, you can't eat enough and you can't be hungry, but if you want to make a fortune with this, there is definitely no way." ”

Tang Feng asked strangely: "I see that Liu Shunan's root carving works are very expensive, how can there be no profit here." ”

"Expensive is not expensive carving, the root carving is seven points of nature, three points of artificial. Chen Yan shook his head and poured bitter water, with the improvement of living standards, consumption has also begun to upgrade, modern people not only pursue beauty, but also pay attention to materials. They need to use the roots of high-quality wood to make root carvings, what boxwood, golden camphor, sandalwood, are national first-class rare plants, the price is ridiculously expensive, the cost is all consumed in the raw materials. Chen Yan continued: "My former peers have changed to carved stones, and that thing is environmentally friendly, and the market prospect is promising. ”

"Stone?" Tang Feng was interested, and he said, "You mean Tian Huang, right?"

"Hey, don't go too far. Chen Yan said: "Isn't Tianhuangshi produced in the 1,000-meter-long and 200-meter-wide mountain stream in Shoushan, Fujian? ”

Tang Feng said: "The bloodstone, Qingtian stone, Bahrain stone and Shoushan stone should always be more, right?" Tang Feng said that these four kinds of stones are China's four major seal stones, these four stones are the famous color stones in the arts and crafts stone, famous for their gorgeous colors, delicate textures, natural textures, and moderate hardness.

"You've finally gotten to the point. Chen Yan said: "If you want to make money now, you have to rely on the cultural industry." No matter what kind of cow, as long as it can be tied to the stump of culture and art, it can't be wrong, and the stone is Chinese traditional culture, and the market of the two sides of the strait and the three places is vast. ”

Tang Feng said: "Okay, it's decided, let's do this seal stone business." ”

"Ah, do you really want to do it?" Chen Yan said, "Stones and antiques are not the same thing. ”

Tang Feng said: "These two fields also have something in common, antiques originally include gemstones. Tang Feng remembered Yang Chengming, he was in the jewelry business, but he was also good at antiques.

Chen Yan thought for a while and said, "That's right, Jiang Yuan is also in the jewelry business, although he is always eye-catching, he has made much faster progress than me and Liu Shunan." ”
