Chapter 151: Picking Up the Big Leak

"Spring Dawn in the Han Palace" is a famous painting in ancient times, which can be said to be a priceless treasure. But not everyone knows about this thing. If ordinary collectors see this treasure, they will only regard her as an ordinary painting! Only a discerning person can see her value!

Chen Dongxing is such a person who has both luck and discernment.

Ten years ago, he was a small, unscrupulous vendor who set up a stall in an antique market. I can't make a few dollars a month. Because all his goods are worthless stalls.

But one day, when he had nothing to do, he let his son show him the stalls, and he wandered around the market!

Turning around, he came to a booth with calligraphy and paintings. Then, I stood there and admired a few calligraphy and paintings on the ground.

Chen Dongxing's own stall does not have any calligraphy and paintings, but some jade and bronze objects.

Although he doesn't deal in calligraphy and painting, he has always been more fond of calligraphy and painting, and he has really studied it.

It's just that I haven't been able to get good calligraphy and paintings, so I can only put some jade and bronze for a living and make a little money.

However, he is still very fond of calligraphy and painting, as long as he is fine, he wanders around the antique market where he is located, hoping that he can see a calligraphy and painting with some value. It's best to pick up a leak and make a stroke.

In fact, as long as you are in the antique business, there is nothing you don't want to pick up, it depends on your ability and luck.

Competence is your ability to discern. Luck is that you have to come across something valuable. These two are indispensable. No matter how capable you are, you don't have luck. You can't touch anything good at all. Then your ability can only appreciate other people's calligraphy and paintings, but not help you get rich.

But no matter how lucky you are, if you don't have the ability to draw. Even if a 'treasure' is placed in front of you, you may not know the goods!

For Chen Dongxing, he feels that his ability is not lacking, and he has his own unique set in the identification of calligraphy and painting. But I don't feel lucky, I've been operating in this antique market for many years, and I haven't come across good calligraphy and paintings.

However, just when Chen Dongxing felt a little disappointed in his luck. He came across a big treasure.

On this day, in front of an ordinary stall, he actually saw this "Spring Dawn Picture of the Han Palace". In the beginning. He couldn't believe his eyes. I feel that it is impossible for such a national treasure to appear on the stall.

However, when he looked at it more closely, he felt that the painting might be genuine. Even if it's a fake. It is by no means the work of modern people, but also the work of ancient people.

Although Chen Dongxing can see that this painting is not ordinary, he is also an old fritter, so naturally he will not let the stall set up know that his painting is a famous painting.

So, he pretended not to know the value of the painting, and just asked the young man who set up the stall how much the painting would sell for.

He would have thought. This stall is set up by a young man, who may not have studied calligraphy and painting very well. He probably won't ask for much money.

But what Chen Dongxing didn't expect was that this kid seemed to have seen that Chen Dongxing liked his painting very much, so he opened his mouth, and it was a lion's mouth.

Young man, the direct price is 10,000.

This stumped Chen Dongxing. He wanted to buy it, but he didn't have that much money. And he is not 100% sure whether this painting is genuine or not! If you don't buy it, this is an opportunity.

In the end, he thought twice and decided to take a gamble. So I went back and borrowed some money from a friend and bought this painting.

As it turned out, he won the bet this time. This is indeed an authentic painting. But it is not the author's original painting. And the author later painted the same work.

That is to say, in ancient times, some painters, after painting a painting, if they felt that the painting was good, and many people appreciated it and praised him for painting well, then it was possible for him to paint another such work!

But no matter what, the second time I painted it, it was not as good as the first time. This may be because the author's mentality is no longer the same. It is no longer the pure artistic mentality that it used to be, but a utilitarian mentality.

Chen Dongxing's "Spring Dawn in the Han Palace" is a second creation of the painter, even if it is not as valuable as the original painting, but it is also the author's authentic work, and the value is also incredible.

Later, Chen Dongxing took this painting to an auction company for auction, and he bought it for 10,000 yuan, and finally auctioned it for 1 million. I earned a hundredfold.

In this way, Chen Dongxing earned the first pot of gold in his life. After that, he began to officially become a collector, specializing in collecting and reselling some calligraphy and paintings, and in a few years, he has already reached a large amount of money.

And this time, Yao Hong was going to hold a large-scale art exhibition, and Jin Dabao invited some big domestic collectors to help him.

One of them is Chen Dongxing, a famous collector in the country. It can be said that Chen Dongxing is the heavyweight guest invited by Jin Dabao this time.

For this heavyweight guest, Jin Dabao, of course, wants Yao Hong to personally paint a 'town exhibition work'.

And Yao Hong listened to Jin Dabao's words, he couldn't refuse, after all, what Jin Dabao said was very reasonable, since there was a big collector Chen Dongxing who came to Master Yao's art exhibition. Then how could Yao Hong not paint a picture by himself!

You must know that Chen Dongxing is here for Yao Hong's fame. They only collect works by well-known painters. Yao Hong is the editor-in-chief of "Tiannan Pictorial", and this time Yao Hong held an exhibition for "Tiannan Pictorial", if there is no work of his own, it will not be like a thing!

"Okay, since Boss Jin has invited Chen Dongxing, a big collector, to help us with Tiannan Pictorial, then I have to work hard and paint a good work. ”

Yao Hong had no choice but to promise Jin Dabao. After all, Chen Dongxing came for his fame, if the exhibition did not have Yao Hong's works, wouldn't it be a joke!

"Okay, then it's hard for Master Yao, you can paint a work as soon as possible!" Jin Dabao saw that Yao Hong agreed, and he was also very happy, no longer doubting that Master Yao himself couldn't draw. I feel that Master Yao is a real master!

Yao Hong promised to paint a picture himself, but he would not paint it in front of Jin Dabao, he just said that he would return to the Artists Association to read some materials and think about it. So he hurried back to the office of his Artists Association, and found several vice presidents under him. An important thing was said to them. Several painters listened and agreed with a nod.
