Chapter 1117: The Show Begins

Zhang Zongxian is still very proud of his first shot in Duoyunxuan, since Zhang Zongxian went up in "A Round of Red Sun Dongfangyong", the market of Feng Zikai's paintings has risen all the way. His reputation for collecting modern and contemporary Chinese paintings and calligraphy is a www.biquge.info of "unique vision". In 1992, Zhang Zongxian selected 118 pieces of his collection and held the "Zhang Zongxian Chinese Ceramics Collection Exhibition" in London.

The exhibits "Ding Kiln Carved Lotus Plate", "Blue and White Lotus Dragon Pattern Plate", "Carmine Bowl", etc., are exquisite. In particular, Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty "enamel color peach willow fighting for spring double swallow picture bowl" is an extremely precious ancient Yuexuan color porcelain, only the Forbidden City, the David Foundation in London, China, Taiwan Beihongxi Art Museum each has one, to June 2002 Hong Kong Sotheby's company for him in Shanghai held the "Zhang Zongxian Chinese Modern Calligraphy and Painting Collection Exhibition", 208 exhibits include 108 pieces of Qi Baishi's works, Zhang Daqian, Lin Fengmian, Xu Beihong, Fu Baoshi and other 17 famous artists 100 pieces.

"Good artworks, as long as they can hold down when the price is low, will definitely be higher, and after five or ten years, it will always rise, because good things will only get fewer and fewer. It's not that you buy it this year and sell it next year, you have to hide it for 5 years, and when everyone forgets about it, the price will be relatively high, and it's not okay to buy it today and wait for the price to rise. If the buying and selling interval is too short, the market is almost over. This is Zhang Zongxian's way of collecting.

From carrying 24 US dollars alone at the beginning, to having a collection of 100 million yuan today, Zhang Zongxian deserves to be called an unprecedented collector.

Although Zhang Tianyuan really doesn't like this family very much, he also has to admire this person who has gone from a gentleman to a collector.

And to be honest, he also wants to get those things in Zhang Zongxian's hands. After all, Zhang Zongxian is currently facing the same embarrassment as Stanley Ho, that is, future generations do not like antique collections. If he dies, future generations will only have to drum up his things.

Rather than that. It's better to find someone you can trust and give away or sell all your collections.

"Maybe for me, this is an opportunity, I was reluctant to see Zhang Zongxian before, mainly because I had no money, and I was afraid that I would be misunderstood as going to ask for food, but now my identity and status may not be comparable to Zhang Zongxian, but I don't have to look at other people's faces, so I don't have to. I can also talk to Zhang Zongxian in a dignified manner, well, after all, it is a family, what kind of grudge can not be resolved?"

Zhang Tianyuan knew in his heart that his future museum would have 200,000 square meters, even if he put the cultural relics he got back from the UK in it, it would still be far from enough, and he didn't have the luxury of getting all the things of Stanley Ho and Zhang Zongxian, but if he could get some of them. It's a great addition to his museum.

Again, if you don't do it, then you don't care, but since it's already done. Zhang Tianyuan doesn't want to make do, if he wants to do it, he must do his best and make his museum a national museum. and the best museums in the world.

But the problem is that with his current collection, it is estimated that it is still far from enough. The influence is there, but the quantity and scale are far from enough. There has to be more and more things.

In fact, this cooperation can be very flexible, and it does not necessarily have to be bought.

In fact, you can ask the other party to put things on display in their own museums in a similar way to rental, and then give a certain rent, which can be negotiated. This method is a new attempt, which can not only help museums increase the number of collections, but also help private individuals to better maintain antiques, in fact, it is also the best of both worlds.

There is another way, that is, you can open a special exhibition hall with the name of the other party or the company, and place the other party's exhibits in it, or you can even hand over the management and charging rights to the other party, as if you are renting your own space to the other party, but the other party must act in accordance with the rules of the museum, which is also fine.

Of course, it is best that the other party is willing to donate or sell the antiques in his hand, so that it can be done at one time without wasting time, but the disadvantage of this is that Zhang Tianyuan must have a lot of money to invest in it, and for him, it is also a big burden.

Someone might say, in that case, why don't you just distribute the shares of the museum to these people and then co-open the museum?

This Zhang Tianyuan didn't think about it, but in the end he gave up, the museum is different from others, and he has always believed in the concept of holding a qiē in his own hands, over the years, it is not uncommon for the founder of many company groups to be forced out of the company, he doesn't want to make wedding clothes for others, he is not so great, for him, the museum is his private property, and no one can take it away.

Moreover, the distribution of shares will be very troublesome, which involves the ownership of many collections in the museum, and it is difficult to explain clearly when the time comes.

If you say that a partner with a good character is not too bad, what if you meet a partner with a bad character and have to sell the contents to a foreigner?

So on this matter, there is no room for negotiation, and he will never compromise.

Besides, Zhang Tianyuan didn't plan to make money in the first place, just to satisfy his wishes and ideals. If you let others invest with you to play this loss-making business, it is a bit unkind.

Aren't you a little too kind?

Oh, I don't lack money, why bother tossing character for a little money, you can earn it again if the money is gone, if the character is gone, it is really difficult to get it back.

……

"Next we are going to auction a painting by Picasso, from an unnamed collector, with a starting price of eight million pounds, and a maximum increase of not less than 100,000 pounds, and the bidding is now open!"

Just as Zhang Tianyuan lowered his head and pondered, the voice of the auctioneer on the stage woke him up, and at the same time, the people below were boiling again.

Picasso's paintings! These are very precious!

Seeing that painting, Zhang Tianyuan's face showed a smile, this painting was one of the fakes he sent to auction. It's time for the second thing he's going to do today, and for the time being, let's put aside what he just did and what he was thinking about in his heart.

"Because the painting never existed, we named it 'The Lazy Lady' based on its contents. Picasso Master ......"

At first, no one bid, because they were carefully observing the painting, taking advantage of this time, the auctioneer introduced Picasso well, in fact, it was more appropriate to praise it, and then praised the painting again, Zhang Tianyuan wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, this kind of fake, I deliberately left a flaw, I dare to blow it like this.

"Nine million pounds!"

Finally, after some impassioned praise from the auctioneer, someone began to bid, this time an Englishman.

"£9.1 million!"

"£9.5 million!"

According to Zhang Tianyuan's speculation, this painting should be won for another 10 million pounds or so, but he didn't ask for a price, and he was going to stage a heroic show later.

"£9.8 million. ”

"Okay, this Mr. Wang from China is bidding 9.8 million pounds, is there anyone else who wants to continue to increase the price?"

"Damn, why is it him? Zhang Tianyuan suddenly felt a headache, because the person who made the offer was Wang Siyuan's father, and he didn't want this fake painting to be obtained by Wang Siyuan's father.

"Forget it, anyway, after I go up later, this deal will be yellow anyway, let him shoot if he likes to shoot. But after thinking about it, Zhang Tianyuan gave up his plan to remind Wang Siyuan of his father, and this painting actually doesn't matter if the water slaps his hand.

"Okay, £9,800,000 a time! Does anyone still want to buy this painting? Picasso's paintings are not very extant, and if you miss them, you may regret it for a lifetime." ”

"Bang!£9,800,000 twice!"

"Congratulations to the owner from China, you have obtained a masterpiece worthy of collection. ”

Sure enough, the painting was still taken away by Wang Siyuan and his father, but Zhang Tianyuan had no intention of stopping it, this money is nothing to this Wang Zong, but it can buy a lesson. To be honest, Zhang Tianyuan didn't like some of Wang Siyuan's father's remarks, as if there were no fakes in foreign works, and only Chinese antiques had fakes?

That's naïve.

After that, the auction lasted for three hours, with an hour's pause for dinner, and then another four hours, and most of the fake oil paintings that Zhang Tianyuan had placed in the auction house were auctioned off, and most of the bidders were foreigners.

To Zhang Tianyuan's surprise, among the rest of the antiques, he also found a large number of fakes, the quality and workmanship are far worse than his fakes, but they still sold for high prices, including Western oil paintings, Chinese antiques, and even Western carvings.

However, this gave him the best motivation to exert his strength.

So, when a masterpiece known as Monet's pinnacle was auctioned for nearly 80 million pounds, Zhang Tianyuan finally stood up.

Because the eighty million pounds is the price he called.

However, when he was on stage, he did not hesitate to tear the painting in half, and then in the surprised eyes of everyone in the audience, he said indignantly: "The top five auction houses in Britain, the Hellis family, the Stein family, the Birch family, they actually use such fakes to deceive us consumers!"

"Hey, sir, don't talk nonsense. "The auctioneer is in a hurry.

"Helis, why is it him again, did he know what you did, so he came to deliberately retaliate against us?" Stein jumped up and scolded in the monitoring room.

"No way, how would this guy know. ”

"But look what's going on? He's standing there again, he's there again!" said Stein, furious.

Helis also frowned and said, "Quick, find someone to pull that kid out." (To be continued......)
