Chapter 664 Melon Style Piano
……
"Xiaodong, come here, Old Ace has a lot of good things here!"
Hearing Fang Zhonghua's words, and then the relics were swept away, and after seeing that there was nothing rich in spiritual light, Liu Dong took the Liangzhu Yucong in his hand and returned to the counter.
At this time, there was already a violin, two paintings, and three pieces of porcelain on the large oak counter!
Liu Dong put the jade cong on the table and picked up the violin next to him first, because among all the six antiques, it had the strongest aura!
After looking at the jade cong in Liu Dong's hand, Old Ace looked away≯⊙, this strange thing has been in his store for a long time, and the inconspicuous appearance makes Old Ace judge that it is not a precious thing, so he has no intention of exploring it when he sees Liu Dong taking it.
"Liu, these are rare good things in my store, I guarantee that you will be satisfied!" Seeing Liu Dong pick up the violin, Old Ace smiled.
"Melon style piano!" Liu Dong said after repeatedly looking at the violin in his hand.
Hearing his words, Old Ace couldn't help but show a hint of surprise on his face. He didn't expect Liu Dong, a Chinese, to recognize the 'melon-style piano', which is known as one of the two walls of the classical violin world!
Of course. can recognize the melon-style qin except for Liu Dong's relics Yuanguang. The most important thing is that Liu Dong got a top-notch Si-style piano 'Windsor' in the villa in Badaguan on Qing-Island a year ago!
Since getting this Si-style piano, Liu Dong has a deep understanding of the melon-style piano, which is almost as famous as the Si-style piano.
Therefore, after seeing the characteristics of this violin body, such as the lower part of the body is narrower, the sound hole is longer and the style is chic, the headstock is larger and the style is majestic, the upper and middle parts of the body are relatively wide, and the middle waist is rounded but not deep.
"Mr. Ace, don't you mind if I try the tone?" Although Liu Dong is not proficient in the violin. However, after getting the 'Windsor', he also briefly learned some violin playing, and now he sees the melon-style piano that surpasses the Si-style piano in timbre, and Liu Dong also has some itchy hands.
"Hehe, of course!" Although he said this, Old Ace still showed a trace of reluctance on his face.
At first, Liu Dong didn't have an immediate meaning, but after Liu Dong took out the bow from the piano case and played the melon-style piano in his hand, his brows immediately furrowed.
As a melon-style piano that can be compared with the Si style piano in the classical violin world, in addition to the appearance of the piano is slightly inferior to the Si style, the vibration of the piano plate is strong and powerful. The pronunciation is deep and loud, but now there is a hint of hoarseness in the timbre of the melon-style piano in Liu Dong's hand!
This kind of watch xiàn instantly lowered the value of this melon-style piano.
At this time, Liu Dong also understood why Old Ace was helpless. Just like porcelain, a complete Qing dynasty official kiln can easily be sold for millions of dollars, but a piece of Qing dynasty that has not been repaired after being damaged, no matter how exquisite it is, its value is less than one-tenth of the original.
Curious, Liu Dong swept it with the relics and instantly found out the reason for the inaccurate timbre of this melon-style piano.
"I see, I didn't expect to have such an unexpected gain when I bought a piano!" Liu Dong said in his heart.
"Mr. Ace, how much does this melon-style piano cost?"
"400,000 guilders!" Ace said quickly.
400,000 guilders is equivalent to about 200,000 euros, which is about the same as the value of this inaccurate guarel!
"I want it!" Liu Dong said without hesitation.
"Xiaodong, if you don't look at the official kiln porcelain of the third dynasty of the Qing Dynasty, how can you buy a violin?" Fang Zhonghua was surprised when he noticed what Liu Dong had just said.
"Hehe, isn't this for Brother Fang to choose first?" Liu Dong said with a smile.
"You're polite, but this Qing Dynasty third-generation official kiln is not cheap, I want one piece is enough! Look at the rest!" said Fang Zhonghua, who took out a Qianlong pastel flower with a height of about 25 centimeters and held the pot, and then stopped moving.
The remaining two pieces of porcelain, a 40 cm diameter Kangxi blue and white dragon pattern plate, and a 45 cm high Jiaqing official kiln pastel entwined flower plum vase, are rare Qing Dynasty official kiln boutiques, but to Liu Dong's surprise is that in an ordinary antique shop abroad, they appeared together, no wonder the antique industry peers say that the real fine Chinese porcelain is abroad!
In the end, Liu Dong's eyes focused on the remaining two oil paintings, the two oil paintings were very well framed, but the size was not large, the largest one was slightly smaller than the 4-carat paper, and the remaining one was similar to the A3 paper.
However, in contrast, the smaller canvas paintings have a richer aura than the former.
"This 'Madame Ornar' is a painting by Eugène Delacroix, and it is my most proud treasure, and I would not have taken it out if it had not been for the encounter with Fang!"
Liu Dong doesn't care about the truth in Old Ace's words for the time being, but there is no doubt that this Delacroix painting belongs to the real thing.
And for this famous French painter, a typical representative of the Romantic school. Liu Dong also knows a lot, not to mention anything else, his "Freedom to Lead the People" is so famous that almost all middle school history textbooks in China can see this master's painting!
"Old Ace, is this really a painting by Delacroix?" Fang Zhonghua couldn't help but say.
"Of course, this is something I've worked hard to collect!" said Old Ace proudly.
Hearing this, Fang Zhonghua took the painting in his hand and looked at it a few times, and couldn't help but say, "It can't be fake, right?"
"Fart, according to my old Ace's eyes. How could it be possible to buy a fake! And Delacroix was extraordinary. But he was also a prolific painter. After his death, he left behind more than a thousand oil paintings, is it strange that I have one in my hand?" Old Ace blew his beard and stared at Fang Zhonghua Dao.
"Then why don't you take it to auction?" Because the relationship between the two parties is good, Fang Zhonghua has no scruples between the lines.
Of course, this is also related to the habits of foreigners, after all, it is not like speaking in China and you have to go around several times to express your meaning.
"You won't understand anything when you hear it!" After Chong Fang Zhonghua pursed his lips, Old Ace continued, "There is a fee to pay for the auction, and it was successfully auctioned. I also have to be charged a large commission by the other party, and although my painting is a Delacroix painting, the size is not large, and the transaction price will not be too high, so I will obviously make more money in the private transaction than in the auction!"
At the end, Old Ace couldn't help but show a hint of smugness on his face.
"Didn't I expect you old guy to be quite cunning?" Fang Zhonghua said in surprise.
"Wrong, Fang, this is wisdom!"
Looking at the old man shaking his finger at himself in front of him, his face was full of pride. Fang Zhonghua swallowed!
"Then whose work is this landscape painting, it can't be Rembrandt, right?" Fang Zhonghua said.
But what surprised him was. Old Ace actually showed a hesitant look on his face this time, "I'm not sure who the author of this painting is, but please believe me, the person who can paint it is very skillful, maybe not inferior to Rembrandt!"
glanced at Old Ace in surprise, Liu Dong didn't expect the other party to have such a brilliant eyesight, but the achievements of the author of this painting are not much inferior to Rembrandt.
Because he is Paul Cézanne, a famous French painter and the master of late impressionism, he has been admired as the "father of new art" since the end of the 19th century, and as a pioneer of modern art, Western modern painters call him "the father of modern art", "the father of modeling" or "the father of modern painting".
It's just that in this painting, Cézanne does not reflect his emphasis on color and the pursuit of three-dimensionality, but tries Rembrandt's strong expressive power in light.
This kind of attempt is very common among painters, after all, 'the stone of the mountain can be used to attack jade' is not only popular in China.
However, this also made the old Ace show a dilemma, although his ability to identify oil paintings is indeed extraordinary, but after all, there is still a gap between the top masters, so even if he understands that the author of this painting is extraordinary, he cannot identify its source.
But this is also cheaper than Liu Dong.
"Mr. Ace, I want this melon-style piano, plus these two pieces of porcelain and two oil paintings, and this jade, can you make a price?" Liu Dong said.
"All of them?"
Old Ace was stunned, originally he thought that Liu Dong would be good to buy two of them at most, but he didn't expect that in the end, there would be a clearance deal.
"Old Ace, I've already told you, this brother of mine is a rich man with assets of more than 1 billion euros, and it's easy to buy your little thing!" Fang Zhonghua put his arm around Liu Dong's shoulders and showed off slightly.
Seeing this, a trace of helplessness flashed between Liu Dong's eyebrows, how could his friend forget the rules of the antique shop when he was in his thirties, this time he leaked his bottom, and he couldn't help it when he wanted to make a counteroffer!
"Fang, you won't be joking anymore, how is this possible?" said Old Ace with a look on his face that you were lying.
Also, Liu Dong is only in his early twenties, and it is really difficult for people to equate him with a billionaire.
"When did I lie to you!" Fang Zhonghua didn't have a good breath.
Hearing this, Old Ace nodded subconsciously, but the eyes that looked at Liu Dong were even more surprised!
"Mr. Ace, should we trade?" The matter has come to this point, Liu Dong didn't say much, as long as he didn't take the opportunity to raise the price, your store would be more expensive, who made these things extraordinary.
"Oh, oh, I'll do the math, I'll do the math!" Old Ace, who reacted, hurriedly took the calculator next to him.
