After coming to Shanghai for three or two days, Zhong Yue and Kang Min made a phone call. The start time of the exchange students is actually after the National Day holiday, which is simply the latest time to start school in Zhong Yue's impression, but it's okay, after all, he is not wasting his time now, and his attainments in calligraphy and painting have advanced by leaps and bounds under the improvement of these generations of people and the penmanship system.

Zhong Yue looked at the homepage of the Yaoshun auction, and the huge space was all about the "Ten Thousand Boundless" book of this Jinnong lacquer book.

As the head of the Eight Monsters of Yangzhou, Jin Nong, although for the general public, it may be difficult for lacquer book works to accept that kind of rough lines, but for the collection world, Jin Nong's works were already popular collections in the Republic of China.

Even modern people like Xu Beihong and Zhang Daqian have such a good story.

At that time, Zhang Daqian collected a piece of Jin Nong's masterpiece "Returning to the Boat from the Wind and Rain", which was very delicate in composition, brushwork, and style, while Xu Beihong had a masterpiece of Dong Yuan in the Northern Song Dynasty, "Picture of the River Bank".

From the point of view of value, Dong Yuan's painting era is much earlier than that of Jin Nong, and his fame is also above Jin Nong. However, Xu Beihong was very fond of Jin Nong's works and admired his rebellious spirit against traditional techniques, while Zhang Daqian liked Dong Yuan's works and thought that their skills were profound and unique, so the two happily exchanged collections.

It seems that Xu Beihong has lost, but the collection world has never said absolute profit and loss, unless it is an antique dealer or a businessman, otherwise the transaction between Tibetan friends and Tibetan friends, I am happy to buy a thousand dollars.

In recent years, the price of Jin Nong's calligraphy and painting has been rising, some fine works, and even auctioned tens of millions of high prices, because Jin Nong is to sell calligraphy and painting for a living, so there are many works in the world, and the problem is that the collection boom brought by fine calligraphy and painting, and the survival of calligraphy and painting is larger, and there are more fakes.

For example, Wang Ximeng, the works that have been handed down in the world, there is only such a hand-me-down painting in the literature - "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains", so there is no fake imitation at all, even if Tibetan friends know that Wang Ximeng's painting is exquisite, they will be very cautious, but Jin Nong's works, there are many surviving in the world, which will make people take it lightly and think that it is missing.

This "Boundless Boundary" is a masterpiece of lacquer books in Jinnong's unique style, and it can be regarded as a masterpiece. Zhong Yue had seen the auction collection album, which convinced Ouyang Kaishan that it was the seller's narrative that was genuine.

The previous owner of the collection had the experience of staying abroad, and after returning to China, he failed to run a business in the sea, so it changed hands to him. This may be the reason why Ouyang Kaishan believes that this painting is genuine. Because he and his wife were photographed in Europe. It's just that what Zhong Yue thought of, Ouyang Kaishan was also alert, that is, this matter was too coincidental, so coincidental that people suspected that it was a trap.

In this regard, Ouyang Kaishan also invited many calligraphers to the auction site to identify the authenticity of this collection.

At auctions, many of the collections will be unsold, why? Many auctions are too unreliable, full of many fakes, and some auction houses even partner with counterfeiters to make money. However, Yao Shun Auction Company is still quite famous in Shanghai, and this work, as well as the joint signature of the calligraphy association and six calligraphy and painting appraisal experts in the calligraphy industry, is even more hyped up in the price of this character, which has the meaning of refreshing the highest transaction price of Jin Nong's works in the auction.

The significance of this book to Ouyang Kaishan, no more than five people know, even the think tank invited by him, do not know the use, Ouyang Kaishan himself often buys some calligraphy and painting antiques, so this time I am ready to make a move, I invited so many friends in the calligraphy world, I thought it was a significant amount, and I was cautious to hire so many people.

In such a large-scale auction, there will naturally be no part of going on stage to personally appraise it.

The auction company thinks that it is true, and when it goes to the auction, it will either fail to bid or bid away, and there is no other link. The buying and selling company does not guarantee the authenticity and quality of the collection, and it is purely a risk of normal trading of artworks. In other words, if you find a fake auction, if it is not for the auction company to exchange the collection in the dark box, then you will consider yourself unlucky.

Zhong Yue has been thinking about it for a long time in the past two days, and it is better to come over and take a look at it than to not know how to die.

Sitting in Ou Yangming's Bentley Continental, Zhong Yue experienced the luxury of a rich son. It is also a four-wheeled means of transportation, listening to this stunned young man said, he spent nearly three million before and after, which was an adult gift for his eighteen-year-old.

Zhong Yue couldn't help but recall that when he was eighteen years old, it was as if his father had cooked a bowl of noodles and two boiled eggs, and when he brought them to school, the noodles were all lumped together.

"Brother Yue, what are you doing at the auction? Do you have something you are interested in buying?"

Since Zhong Yue's successive methods that night, Ou Yangming had been completely convinced, and early the next morning, he stood in front of Zhong Yue's room with breakfast, which made Zhong Yue confused, this kid turned his face faster than turning a book. However, this rich little brother is still somewhat useful, at least he doesn't need Zhong Yue to spend money on a taxi when he goes out.

"I don't buy it, I'll see. ”

To be honest, it is purely impossible to pick up the leaks at the auction with a small amount of money. In addition to considering its market value, there is also the popularity of the collection, which is used as a judgment index for whether the collection has a start, which is different from the antique market leakage.

Zhong Yue asked, "By the way, did your grandfather personally come to the auction today?"

"Probably not, it's usually my second uncle who comes over. ”

"Hmm. ”

Zhong Yue knew in his heart that although he had said so much a few days ago, in Ouyang Kaishan's heart, he was already convinced of the authenticity of this work. Yaoshun Auction has also had a good reputation in recent years, so invite a few old friends to take a look at the scene, if there is no big problem, at most it will cost more money to win.

In addition, the auction process is very fast, there is no time for the participants to observe or think about it closely, most collectors work the album in advance, and the auction is just shouting and bidding, and there are no other bells and whistles.

"Brother Yue, is your family the kind of big family that hides in the ravine? Are your elders all that kind of big calligraphers? It's not uncommon to have a calligraphy association, a trophy?"

Zhong Yue leaned back in the leather chair and looked at the backward street trees outside the car window, "No." My dad is a fruit farmer, and you think too much. I'm alone in my house right now. At best, there is a master and a senior brother. ”

“……”

A trace of disappointment flashed on Ou Yangming's face, this was not the same style of painting he had seen, but it was immediately connected with another picture sense.

"I understand, then your master must be a master in the world, just like Ling Hu Chong, isn't that so?"

Zhong Yue had a little headache, if Ou Yangming was an imbecile with low eyes and a high hand in his eyes before, then now he was simply a stunned young man with a chatterbox.

"Can you drive your car properly and don't mess with all this?"
