Chapter 146: The words are amazing
Chapter 146 is amazing
They can't really have the real "Orchid Pavilion Preface" in their hands, right? For this answer, Hu Fei will definitely not believe it, but now it is not the key, the key is that the problem of this "Orchid Pavilion Order" itself, with the identification of several professors, the Orchid Pavilion Sequence was protected by the Japanese side again, but it was not put away, and it was still placed there.
At the same time, the Japanese side finally put forward their price, 500 million dollars! The terrifying price, this price made the faces of several professors who were still excited just now stiffened, 500 million US dollars, which means 3o billion RmB, whether this price is really worth it, no one can identify it, because this is a work of art, like, how much is "Mona Lisa's Smile" worth? I'm afraid no one will give a price, right?
But it is indeed normal for some painters such as Van Gogh to fetch hundreds of millions of dollars for their works, such as Picasso's "Boy with a Pipe" was auctioned for a sky-high price of $140 million in 2oo4. It set a new world record for the auction of a painting.
For example, Van Gogh's "Sunflowers" series of paintings were sold at the Carts auction house in London in 1987 for a high price of 3.99 million US dollars! That's $4ooo in 1987! Including the exchange rate, inflation, etc., I am afraid that it is at least 200 million US dollars today, or even more.
So, it's hard to know how much it's worth, and although it's a work that has been lost for thousands of years, it's not that expensive.
After calming down, Ye Haitao spoke on behalf of the Chinese people: "Mr. Kawakami, this price is unlikely, even if you put it in the auction house, it is impossible to bid for a high price of 500 million US dollars, this is too exaggerated." β
"Mr. Ye, this price is not high, I believe we both know the status of this work in your country, she is China's "Mona Lisa". Kawakami shook his head directly.
"I admit it. Several of us are very rich, but if it is this price, I estimate that it will be difficult for us to come up with this price, at most 200 million US dollars, which is the same as the price of those two pieces of Yuan Qinghua before. Ye Haitao shook his head directly, and then opened his mouth to bargain. Hu Fei was a little speechless, and these two people directly began to bargain in front of so many people in the hall. But Hu Fei didn't care, because Hu Fei had already decided to make trouble.
But because it's a fake, well, even if it can be faked to this point, the cost is estimated to be millions of dollars, but even if it's ten million dollars. You sell 200 million dollars, how many times is that profitable? And in the international market, there are actually a lot of similar fakes, and don't think that the auction house auctions the real thing, Crest has done a lot of auction fakes.
And Hu Fei also knows that it is like a painting made of ancient Chinese rice paper. Because rice paper is actually several layers, in modern times, some cultural relics dealers will directly peel off these rice paper paintings, so that the original painting will directly turn into several pairs, and all of them are genuine, but really take it out, can these paintings still be said to be genuine?
"No way, Mr. Ye. We'd rather send this calligraphy to an auction house. Kawakami also shook his head directly, in fact, the price of artwork, it is difficult to say how much it is worth, just like Russia after the disintegration, after more than ten years of exhibition, there are more and more rich oligarchs in Russia, so the value of the works of those historical artists in Russia is getting higher and higher.
In fact, these prices are all hyped up by these rich people. But who makes the family rich, like this calligraphy work, if it is really put up for auction, Hu Fei is sure. It will definitely be able to sell, because its status is too special, and it is indeed one of the very rare ancient calligraphy works in China with a very high level of calligraphy.
The title of the first line of books in the world is not for nothing, I believe that not only Chinese will pursue, it is estimated that foreigners will also have collections, and there are more rich people in the world.
"But we are very sincere, in this way, since we have spoken, then I will give Mr. Ye the lowest price, if Mr. Ye can accept it, we will trade, to be honest, the origin of this painting is slightly problematic, I am not afraid that Mr. Ye knows, if the government knows about it, I am afraid that this painting will be difficult to trade successfully." Kawakami looked at Ye Haitao and said directly.
At this time, Hu Fei suddenly appeared, this guy speaks fluent Chinese, and Hu Fei doesn't know what to say about Kawakami's words, but many cultural relics are true, even if China asks for it, the other party may not return it, how many Chinese cultural relics are in the museums of France and the United Kingdom?
And many of them are at the level of national treasures, will the French government return them? No, not to mention a country like Japan that was deeply influenced by Chinese culture in ancient times, and it was very hostile to China, this is the most critical factor, to put it bluntly, the Japanese are pinching the mentality of Ye Haitao and others.
"Mr. Ye, $350 million, this price is the lowest price we can offer, and then we can directly deliver it to Mr. Ye's special plane tonight, and we can return to China that night." Kawakami said quickly.
"We're going to talk about it." Kawakami's attitude was very resolute, so Ye Haitao could only discuss.
Taking advantage of this time, Hu Fei looked at the entire hall, including Ye Haitao, they also brought security guards over, so the number of security guards in the entire hall is basically half and half, of course, there are people from the Japanese Metropolitan Police Department guarding outside the hotel, but they probably won't know what is being traded here, of course, the things that were traded before know, and the last one is not clear.
Hu Fei quietly walked to Professor Geng's side, and now it was not Professor Geng and the others who made the decision, Hu Fei took this opportunity to ask: "Professor Geng, I want to ask, doesn't the "Orchid Pavilion Preface" say that it is in the cemetery of Tang Taizong?" β
"This has not been confirmed, because although we have excavated the relevant tombs, there is no presence in them, even if they have been damaged, and the tomb of Tang Taizong has been opened, and it is the person who robbed the tomb, so it is difficult to say whether it is circulated outside, although the historical data shows so." Professor Geng lowered his voice and explained to Hu Fei.
Hu Fei nodded, when he was searching for Lan Tingxu just now, he saw that some netizens said that it had been destroyed, but some people said no, but what Professor Geng said should be true, that is, now even Professor Geng and they are not sure whether it is really destroyed, and in this case, such a thing appears, I believe that in the subconscious, Professor Geng They definitely don't want Lan Tingxu to be destroyed.
"Professor Geng, I have an idea that I don't know whether to say or not." Hu Fei thought about it, the other two professors were communicating with their disciples, and Hu Fei was talking to Professor Geng, so the others didn't come over.
"You say." Professor Geng glanced at Hu Fei in surprise.
"There is something wrong with this "Orchid Pavilion Preface"." Hu Fei said very bluntly, it is useless to do any foreshadowing and the time is limited, Hu Fei might as well say it directly.
"Questions? What's the problem? Professor Geng was stunned for a moment.
"Although I didn't go to the appraisal, and I also believe in Professor Zhao Yu's level, but this behavior of the Japanese can't be explained, and I have carefully looked at their expressions, at least that Mr. Kawakami doesn't care much about this Lan Tingxu. Although he looked very concerned, it was evident from his eyes. Hu Fei can only make some excuses from this aspect first, at least what the Japanese have done is indeed very doubtful, not that there is no doubt at all.
There are some things, as long as you put aside the center of the matter itself and think about it carefully, there will always be clues. Professor Geng couldn't laugh or cry, and after a long time, he lowered his voice and said: "Hu Fei, don't say this, although I don't know much about calligraphy and painting, most of the domestic authorities in this area are here, and I believe that Professor Zhao Yu and others, who have seen several copies of the "Orchid Pavilion Preface", should not be too careless in this regard." I've just thought about what you're talking about, after all, I don't believe it, but sometimes, things just don't come by the eye. β
"As for what you said the Japanese do, didn't you listen to them? It is estimated that the way they came from this "Orchid Pavilion Preface" is not right, these are not important, if Ye Haitao and they are willing to buy it back, we can leave Japan as soon as possible with it, this is the most important thing, no matter from what point of view, it is a national treasure of our country. Professor Geng lowered his voice and added.
Hu Fei is a little helpless, Professor Geng must believe in Professor Zhao Yu very much here, the question is how Hu Fei should intervene now, although during this time, Hu Fei and Professor Geng have learned a lot of knowledge in this area, but you let Hu Fei see that even people like Professor Zhao Yu can't see that it is a fake, Hu Fei really can't do it.
Not to mention how to prove that it is a fake, is it possible that you asked Hu Fei to sue Professor SΓΉ Geng directly, can I feel how many years a work has been stored on it? Let's not say whether Professor Geng believes it or not, it's useless for Professor Geng to believe it, you have to make everyone present believe it.
And Hu Fei always felt that the Japanese came up with this place, and it was not enough to just recognize the fake, Nima, even if this thing was recognized as a fake today, Ye Haitao and they didn't buy it, but the Japanese took it out for auction, and I am afraid that it will still be bought as the real thing in the end.
It's best to destroy it, anyway, Hu Fei doesn't believe it, it will be easy to fake technology like this.
"Okay, deal!" At this time, Ye Haitao over there discussed with Yang Zhengchang and said directly.
"Wait!" Hu Fei was in a hurry, he didn't think about it, and directly stopped the transaction.
In an instant, the eyes of everyone in the entire hall were focused on Hu Fei!
