Chapter 1108 Shaoshan Handscroll

……

Looking at the exuberant curiosity on Chen Bao's face, Liu Dong regretted that he had brought a guy to the capital, a hundred thousand whys, it really annoyed him. It's just that the other party is not an outsider, and he can't push it off if he wants to.

"Brother Dong......?"

"Well, that's what I'll tell you!" Nodding his head and straightening out his thoughts, Liu Dong explained for Chen Bao, who was completely a novice in the antique shop behind him: "Antiques are an all-encompassing concept, there are many things, and they are also very mixed! Especially in modern times, it is no longer like the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, only the best works of art can be called antiques, such as the imperial kiln in porcelain." Now, with more and more people who like to collect, everything with collection value, including pottery, porcelain, calligraphy and painting, newspapers, magazines, jade, gold and silverware, bronze, bamboo and wood, tooth hornware, glassware, and even stamps, weapons, vehicles, wood, etc., have been classified into the category of antiques. ”

In order to demarcate each other's boundaries more clearly, the seniors in the industry have planned a total of four categories, namely porcelain, calligraphy and painting, miscellaneous, and jade!"

"Although, now you listen to just two simple words, the content behind these two simple words is completely all-encompassing, like porcelain collections, there are dozens of ancient and modern kilns! Calligraphy and painting collections, there are books, paintings, inscriptions, and rare books! As for miscellaneous items, there are even more, bronze, gold and silverware, lacquered woodware, tooth horn ware, and so on all belong to the category of miscellaneous! And jade, including jade, amber, coral, crystal, pearl, agate, and so on!"

As a result, many people who like to collect and authenticate will not be able to master any of the four major categories in their lifetime. As a result, very few people spend the energy to study all the antiques in the four major categories. The vast majority will specialize in one. And rarely dabble in the other three!"

"Brother Dong, which one are you good at?" Chen Bao asked.

"I, my words should be regarded as specializing in porcelain identification, right?" Liu Dong said after a little thought.

Having said that, with his ability to never forget, Liu Dong has studied all the antique categories, and even because he himself is a master and painter of jade, the identification of jade and calligraphy and painting is better than that of porcelain.

However, when I first got started, it was Professor Li's porcelain, so when others asked. Liu Dong also generally says that he specializes in porcelain.

And then on. Like the Wen Lao you saw just now, he specializes in jade collection and identification, but Wen Lao also has a certain amount of research on porcelain, so he usually picks up some leaks from the antique market! If these leaks are jade, then keep them himself. If it is porcelain, it will generally be exchanged after playing for a while! In this way, you can not only exchange your favorite jade, but also get a part of the money! It not only satisfies the hobby of collecting, but also does not make yourself too down! There are people who go in and out, and they like but are not obsessed. Every day, every year, it is renewed. Indulging in this way for a lifetime is the real collection!" Liu Dong finally sighed.

"It's a 'like but not obsessed', 'indulge in this way all your life', it's rare that you can say such things at a young age! No wonder Lao Qi is so optimistic about you!" Hong Lao next to him turned his head to look at Liu Dong and said with an appreciative expression.

"Your old lady has praised me, where am I going! In the future, I will ask seniors in the industry like you to teach me more!" Liu Dong said modestly.

"You're welcome! I'm just on the matter. Although you are young, although you have been in the industry for a short time, you have to collect the true meaning, as long as you remember your own sentence in the future, 'every day like this, year after year', study hard, uphold the right path, and naturally one day achieve extraordinary!"

At this time, Liu Dong didn't say much!

After Elder Wen calmed down, he asked Liu Dong again, "Did you bring something this time?"

"You also know that the museum is about to open now, and it is when there is a shortage of things, so I can't get in and out!" So this time I can only be empty-handed!" Liu Dong replied.

"Well, I guess the same is true for you! But, five or six antiques have passed just now, do you have any eye-catchers?"

"Yes, yes, but I'm new to the city, and I'm not a person from our Beijing Collection Association, so it's not good to compete with everyone as soon as I come up!" Liu Dong said.

"I didn't expect you to be young and still a scheming kid!" After glancing at Liu Dong, Old Man Hong chuckled.

"I know how to advance and retreat!" Liu Dong smiled bitterly in his heart.

The so-called antique exchange meeting is a communication platform provided within the circle, and the good things are kept in the circle as much as possible. And, in general, the price of antiques obtained from within the circle is not too high.

Therefore, in order to increase the chance of getting your favorite antiques, regional circles such as Beijing and Quancheng are generally very exclusive!

If it is not invited by people with relatively high status in the circle, it is difficult for outsiders to join in.

Therefore, Liu Dong, who understood the truth of this, did not rush to make a move at first! but patiently waited for the opportunity! Waiting for an opportunity to appear with a boutique antique that could make his heart move!

However, Liu Dong didn't expect this opportunity to come so quickly!

"Fu Baoshi's "Shaoshan Towering Cui" picture scroll, in exchange for an official kiln porcelain of the third dynasty of the Qing Dynasty!"

"Fu Baoshi?"Shaoshan Towering Cui" picture scroll?" Liu Dong, who was still telling Chen Bao some common knowledge in the antique circle just now, hurriedly turned around and looked at the venue after his body was shocked.

Fu Baoshi can be said to be a representative figure of modern Chinese painters, especially his unrestrained brushwork and vigorous painting style are deeply loved by Liu Dong!

For a long time, among the collections of modern famous masters collected by Liu Dong, Fu Baoshi's works can be said to be the most favored by Liu Dong. Whether it is his own Puhua Red Star Auction House, or other Guardian and Hanhai auctions, as long as Fu Baoshi's works appear, Liu Dong will instruct Lin Ling to buy them by telephone bidding!

So far, in Liu Dong's hands, not counting the works of Fu Baoshi that Li Lao passed on to him, but there are as many as 26 Fu Baoshi works that he bought himself!

The amount spent is no less than 200 million!

However, apparently Liu Dong is not the first person to be moved by this authentic painting of Fu Baoshi!

Since 1997, Guardian Auction House auctioned Fu Baoshi's "Beauty Walk" for a high price of 10.78 million, Fu Baoshi's paintings have become the best products pursued by collectors who have always liked calligraphy and painting!

"I didn't expect Xiao Lin to be willing to take out this painting of "Shaoshan Towering Cui"!" Hong Lao said in surprise.

After noticing the look on Liu Dong's face, Hong Lao smiled and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Hmm!"

Liu Dong nodded, this painting is bound for him!

Before painting the famous painting "So Many Delicate Rivers and Mountains" placed in the Great Hall of the People, Fu Baoshi was invited by the Hunan Provincial People's Publishing House to visit and sketch in the areas of Changshasha and Shao*shan, and created a number of important works, including more than 20 handscrolls such as "Shaoshan" and "Chairman Mao's Former Residence".

And "Shaoshan Towering Cui" is one of Fu Baoshi's "Shaoshan Mountain" handscrolls!

What's more important is that after the collection of Li Lao and Liu Dong together, more than 20 handscrolls of "Shaoshan", now only the "Shaoshan Towering Cui" in front of them can be completed!

Therefore, seeing that the thing he had longed for for a long time was in front of him, Liu Dong was naturally unwilling to let it go.

But what people want is official kiln porcelain! The official kiln porcelain worth more than 10 million is also the imperial kiln in the official kiln!

Of course, the imperial kiln here is two different concepts from the kind of scarce 'imperial kiln' that the emperor specially ordered to be fired! The value of the latter is often tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions!

Generally speaking, the high-quality works in the official kiln are the imperial kilns!

Because, in the past, the official kiln was usually fired with hundreds of pieces of variety, and the flawless one was used by the royal family, and the next level of general quality was used, or rewarded, and the top ten in the quality of more than 100 official kiln works were the imperial kiln.

And although these imperial kilns are not as precious as the imperial kilns ordered by the emperor to be burned, they are also worth tens of millions! The imperial kilns of the third dynasty of the Qing Dynasty that can be handed down to the present are very rare! Even if they have them in their hands, most of them are stored as treasures, and no one is willing to exchange such precious porcelain for Fu Baoshi's calligraphy and paintings!

And most people who like to collect paintings and calligraphy will not have such precious porcelain in their hands!

Therefore, after this collector surnamed Lin came to power, although everyone was in a commotion underground, there was no one who came to the stage to exchange for a while!

And although Liu Dong wanted to make a move at the moment, he also knew how to advance and retreat. If he can do it with money, he doesn't want to exchange the imperial kiln ware in his hand!

Although after receiving Sun Dianying's stolen treasure, there are no less than hundreds of imperial kilns of the third generation of the Qing Dynasty in his hands, but these are all fine products that rarely have the opportunity to be replenished if there is one less, and Liu Dong is also very precious.

"Lao Lin, there is no official kiln of the third generation of the Qing Dynasty, can you buy it with money?" someone in the crowd asked.

Generally speaking, collections that cannot be exchanged in the form of barter will be sold by internal auction!

But this collector surnamed Lin is obviously not very willing to accept such a collection worth tens of millions of dollars, which is completely used for money!

"If you have the official kiln of the third generation of the Qing Dynasty in your hands, you might as well take it out first, if it is not as good as my Fu Baoshi "Shaoshan Towering Cui" picture scroll, then you can add some money!"

Hearing this, Liu Dong breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and stood up without hesitation.

He was reluctant to sell the imperial kilns of the third dynasty of the Qing Dynasty, but the official kilns of the third dynasty of the Qing Dynasty have no less than thousands of pieces in his hands so far! Take out a similar one, and add some money to exchange for the real painting of Fu Baoshi in the other party's hand, Liu Dong will not refuse! )
