Chapter 1113 Tongue Battle Banana Man
"Beautiful, worthy of Zhang Tianyuan! Fortunately, he stood up, otherwise there would really be no way to do this today!"
Wang Zhengjun was in distress just now, and he didn't know how to deal with the current situation, but Zhang Tianyuan's sonorous and powerful words when he stood up completely reversed the form.
Although it is not a complete victory, at least let these buyers calm down, as long as they calm down, then they will not bid again like crazy, then Jason Ben has the ability, but after Zhang Tianyuan such a beating, he can't come back to his senses for a long time.
He couldn't wait to go up and hug Zhang Tianyuan and kiss him at this time, but he knew that he had to be calm, and it was estimated that Zhang Tianyuan should have something good to sing, and he would help him later if possible.
However, seeing that Jason Ben still did not change his face, Wang Zhengjun also had to admire, this auctioneer has a very good psychological element, he is really a master among auctioneers, and he can have such achievements at such an age, I am afraid that in addition to hard work, his talent is also extremely strong.
Of course, Zhang Tianyuan also knew that things were not so easy to end, he was facing a master today, not a garbage, and the buyers below were not stupid, let alone children, and they would not give up the auction because of his impassioned words, so he had to keep fighting and defeat these foreign devils with convincing reasons.
What, you ask him how much the painting is really worth?
Of course, he doesn't know the specifics, but this is a national treasure-level thing, and it is the only copy of the Tang Dynasty, and it is estimated that the price should still reach more than 100 million pounds. If he hadn't stopped him just now, someone would have started to raise prices by now, bewitched by Jason Ben's words.
It doesn't matter how much the painting is worth, though. What matters is what Zhang Tianyuan is going to say next. It was very difficult to refute the painting as badly as possible, and it was not possible to talk nonsense, it had to be reasonable, which was very difficult, but he was still confident, because he was well prepared.
If you have to set a level for this painting, then he is definitely a first-class protected cultural relic in China, a priceless treasure in the true sense, and it is estimated that in China. No one dared to put it up for auction.
In fact, there are many differences between cultural relics and antiques, and many first-class cultural relics are not necessarily valuable antiques. However, this "Luo Shen Fu Tu" has the characteristics of both first-class protected cultural relics and extremely valuable antiques, which makes its value in collection and research very high.
Although Zhang Tianyuan said that he was unwilling to spend money to buy these things that were robbed by robbers, he was also unwilling to let the cultural goods go elsewhere, anyway, he would use some special means to earn back the money spent.
The wool is out of the sheep, don't look at the money he gives now, but the money is to be taken back from these foreign devils.
To know. Now the "Luo Shen Fu Tu" in the collection of the Palace Museum is just a copy of the Song Dynasty, which is really far from this one. If you can win this picture, it will also be an extremely powerful help to the reputation of your Shinraku Art Museum.
He could even open a separate exhibition hall of ancient paintings in his museum. In addition to this "Luo Shen Fu Tu", he also prepared to exchange the "Emperor and Empress Buddha Picture" relief and a large number of Dunhuang murals and picture scrolls from the British Imperial Museum, if he got the "Female History Atlas". That would be even more perfect.
He doesn't even think about making money now, what does he want so much money for? If you spend money to buy a luxury car, it is a flower, and if I spend money to buy a collection, it is also a flower. Isn't it all about having fun?
Some people can spend hundreds of thousands for games, and some people can spend hundreds of thousands for books, this is someone else's freedom, in the past, Zhang Tianyuan had no freedom, thinking that he had no money, but now that he has money, how to spend it is his freedom, and others can't control it.
Standing on the stage, Zhang Tianyuan looked at Jason Ben with a smile, waiting for this Jason Ben to make a move.
At this time, an old man of about sixty years old came up from the audience, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, although he was full of white hair, but he was very well combed.
This person looks like a Chinese, at least he should be a Chinese.
"Mr. Zhang, this is Professor Haosen, a professor at the University of Oxford, mainly engaged in archaeological research, the famous 'China expert', 'Chinese art expert', 'Chinese antique appraisal expert'. Jason Ben pointed to the old man and introduced with a smile.
"Oh, Professor Hausen is Chinese?"
"Chinese? No, no, no, I'm not Chinese, I'm a knight in Great Britain. I've lived in the UK for almost 30 years, and I've been here for a long time. Haosen hurriedly shook his head, as if the Chinese were such a bad word, as if being related to these three words was equivalent to being infected with the plague.
"Oh, it's the Banana Man. Zhang Tianyuan sneered disdainfully, originally, even if this person is a British Chinese, he will not speak like this, but the problem is that this person's attitude towards these three words of Chinese annoyed him and made him angry, so he spoke unceremoniously.
"You!" Hausen obviously knew what the banana man meant, and wanted to be angry, but probably because of heart disease or high blood pressure, he touched his heart, but still endured it: "I don't care about you kid, let's talk about antiques, you said that this painting is only worth 60 million pounds, what is the reason?"
"Let's talk about antiques, you shouldn't ask me, but I should ask you to answer, you said this is a copy of the Tang Dynasty, right? So may I ask, where did you see that this is a copy of the Tang Dynasty? As far as I know, the "Luo Shen Futu" that is known at present is basically a copy after the Song Dynasty. Since Zhang Tianyuan wanted to make the other party speechless, he naturally wanted to question the other party, so he didn't answer the other party's question, but asked rhetorically.
"Hmph, what's so difficult about this? This painting is different from the facsimile of the Song Dynasty, it is more artistic, and it can better reflect Gu Kaizhi's painting style and the original appearance of "Luo Shen Futu", so international experts agree that this should be a facsimile of the Tang Dynasty, in addition, there is the 'Hongwen Seal' of the Tang Hongwen Museum, which is also the most powerful evidence!" Haosen said very indifferently, in his opinion, this is not a problem at all, answering such a question is simply playing.
But he didn't know that he had entered the trap set by Zhang Tianyuan.
"That's all?"
"Isn't that enough?"
"Of course it's not enough!" Zhang Tianyuan said loudly: "What are you kidding, just based on the seal of Hongwen, it is determined that it is a copy of the Tang Dynasty, you experts are really child's play! The collection seal, like the seal of a calligrapher and painter, is not necessarily reliable. Since future generations can take the seal of the calligrapher and painter to forge it, it is natural that they will also use the seal of the collector to forge it. The more famous the collector's seal, the more people imitate it, such as Xiang Yuanbian's 'Tian Lai Pavilion' and other stamps I don't know how many times have been re-engraved. What's more, the ancient collector's connoisseurship and judgment are always limited, even if it is really his collection, the seal is also real, then all that is not seen is genuine. Today's appraisal of calligraphy and painting still requires us to comprehensively analyze and investigate, and we cannot only rely on Tibetan seals to determine the authenticity. ”
"Well said!" Wang Zhengjun stood up and clapped his hands, and when he shouted, the rest of the people also coaxed.
"Professor Haosen, right, the collection seals used by the Tang Dynasty Imperial Collection Institutions are: 'Zhenguan', 'Kaiyuan', 'Yuanhezhiyin' and other year seals. And there are the names of the collection places stamped with the seal of 'Hanlin Seal' and 'Hongwen Seal'. If you want, I can carve it out for you right now, and then cover it! Which one do you prefer? I can get ready for you!" Zhang Tianyuan was aggressive when he spoke, staring at Haosen with indifferent eyes, and he could see the cold sweat on Haosen's forehead.
In fact, in this battle, Zhang Tianyuan was obviously tricky, Haosen couldn't prove that the Hongwen Seal was real, and he couldn't prove that it was fake, and in fact it was indeed true. He asked the other party to answer, and then refuted it himself, nothing more than to sue the buyers below, the appraisal of these so-called appraisal masters is not rigorous, and there are many flaws, as long as this effect is achieved, it will be enough.
As for whether the seal is true or not, he won't say it, he's not that stupid.
"You!you!you!" Professor Hausen felt a star in his eyes, and hurriedly took out a bottle of medicine from his jacket pocket, swallowed a few pills, and then calmed down and said, "What you said is true, but ......"
"Professor Hausen thinks I'm right. I still haven't finished speaking!" This time, Zhang Tianyuan planned to take the initiative to attack, and he would definitely not give Professor Haosen a chance to fight back.
"Professor, do you know the original length of this "Luo Shen Futu", do you know how many seals there were on it?"
"This, this, how do I know, I only know that it is real, it is a copy of the Tang Dynasty, and that is enough!"
"Is this the responsible attitude of the auction house? Let me tell you that this "Luo Shen Fu Tu" originally had 24 sections! But the Stein family of Dog Day was too long to hold, so they divided it into two halves, and only 12 sections remained. Since "Luo Shen Futu" is more suitable for flat rather than hanging, there has been a situation of slag falling. In addition, due to the lack of relevant knowledge, like a large number of other paintings and calligraphy, the "Luo Shen Futu" was replaced by a Japanese-style frame by the museum when it was remounted, so that the inscriptions left by the literati in the Ming and Qing dynasties were cruelly and ruthlessly cut, forming a historical fault. Zhang Tianyuan slammed the table and roared: "Hear it, this is all a good thing that these dogs do! What kind of thing has they ruined, and how much money are they trying to sell it for? I think 60 million pounds is too much!" (To be continued......)
