Chapter 175: Buying Ancient Paintings

"Ancient paintings, 200,000, 50,000?"

Li Yang listened to their conversation, and suddenly reminded him of the pair of red-glazed small bowls that Yanjing received, whether the pair of red-glazed small bowls came out of Junyao or not, their value must have increased a lot.

Li Yang stretched out his special ability, and the ancient painting was suddenly shrouded in Li Yang's three-dimensional picture, the ancient painting had five layers of pale yellow circles on its body, it was indeed an old thing, if it weren't for this, I am afraid that this store would not be willing to spend 50,000 yuan to buy this painting.

Painting is not the same as porcelain, as long as there is an age and the painting is good, it will definitely be valuable, of course, if it is from the hands of a famous artist or has the mark of a celebrity, it will be even more valuable. It's a pity that the painting in front of me doesn't have any of these, and it's not easy to sell an ancient painting like this for 200,000 yuan.

Another point, this ancient painting is actually a picture of gods and monsters, in ancient China, there are not many pictures of gods and monsters like this, and there are very few famous ones, many of the masterpieces of Danqing masters are landscapes, animals and plants or people.

The young man had already packed up the ancient paintings and was about to go out, but Li Yang hurriedly stopped him.

"Sir, please wait a minute, can you show us your painting?"

Li Yang is now very curious about the paintings in this young man's hands, and in the knowledge of ancient paintings that Li Yang has learned, this kind of strange ancient paintings are basically blank.

"Yes!"

The young man didn't blame Li Yang, he unfolded the painting again, Wu Xiaoli and Liu Gang both leaned over their heads and looked at this painting he was interested in with Li Yang, especially Liu Gang, he had blind confidence in Li Yang, as long as Li Yang liked something, it would definitely be good.

The unfolded painting allows Li Yang to see more clearly, and the three-dimensional picture is thorough, but it always feels strange to look at it when rolled together.

This painting is almost two meters long and more than 60 centimeters wide, which is relatively large among ancient paintings.

The pattern on the painting is very weird, there are foxes and people, as well as mountain spirits and ghosts, giving people a kind of eerie feeling, the whole painting has no inscription, only a seal, the name of the seal is also very strange, only the word 'fairy sword', whether it is Li Yang or Wu Xiaoli, I have never heard of such a person in history.

Seeing the name on the seal, Li Yang couldn't help but shake his head, what about the fairy sword, does the author of this painting think that he is an immortal, but when he thinks of the content of the painting, there is really such a possibility.

The painting is okay, but it is not particularly good, Li Yang has not studied ancient paintings deeply, and he can't see what artistic conception this painting has.

There are also some mildew spots on the edges of the painting due to dampness, which are caused by poor preservation, which is very regrettable.

Li Yang shook his head, helped the young man put away the scroll, and asked by the way: "Two hundred thousand, it is indeed expensive, why do you want to sell it?" ”

The young man shook his head with a wry smile, his eyes were a little dim, and said: "This is my ancestral ancient painting, I really don't want to sell it if I can sell it, but it's a pity that I have to buy a house when I get married, I lack money to buy a house, and now there is a gap of 200,000 yuan, there is really no way to sell the ancestral treasure, if it can't be sold for 200,000 yuan, then it is better not to sell it, and continue to keep it!" ”

Saying that the young man had put away the scroll, he was about to go out with the ancient painting, in fact, he himself understood that it was impossible for this ancient painting to be sold for 200,000 yuan, and his desire to get married this time was probably a little dangerous.

"Wait!"

Li Yang stopped the young man again, although this ancient painting is strange, but it gives Li Yang another feeling, there are not many ancient paintings such as gods and ghosts, Li Yang likes this painting very much, since he likes it, it doesn't matter how much it costs.

Moreover, this young man reminded Li Yang of his previous self, if he hadn't entered An's or hadn't had such a miraculous encounter, he would probably be as embarrassed as this young man when he wanted to get married, worrying about the house.

"I want this painting!"

Li Yang pointed to the ancient painting in the young man's hand and said slowly, the young man was stunned at first, and then looked at Li Yang in disbelief.

"My painting is going to be sold for 200,000 yuan?"

The young man looked at Li Yang and emphasized: "If it is less than 200,000, I will not sell it!" ”

Li Yang nodded and said, "Two hundred thousand, I want it!" ”

The young man looked at Li Yang blankly, and he couldn't believe it, it was really not easy to sell such an ancient painting for 200,000 yuan, he was already desperate, but he didn't expect a stranger to give him hope again. At this time, the young man looked at Li Yang nervously, he was really afraid that Li Yang was joking with him.

Li Yang took out the check book and wrote a cash check for 200,000 yuan, the young man hesitated, did not take the check, and looked at Li Yang with some doubts.

Seeing the young man's expression, Li Yang immediately understood what was going on, and took the check and explained to him: "This is a cash check for 200,000 yuan, you can withdraw the money immediately when you go to the bank!" ”

This young man is not a businessman who does business often, he has never received such a check, and he does not believe that such a small note can be exchanged for 200,000 yuan.

"I'm sorry, I just need cash!" The young man looked at the check, still didn't take it, and finally shook his head.

Li Yang smiled bitterly and said to Liu Gang beside him: "Liu Gang, please work hard, go and exchange the check for cash!" ”

Liu Gang has cash on him, but he only has 100,000 yuan, which is in his bag, and if he wants 200,000 cash, he must go to the bank, but fortunately, the bank is not off work now.

Liu Gang didn't speak, picked up the check and went out, and the young man stood there waiting, cash was the safest for him.

The owner of the store who hadn't bought this ancient painting before shook his head gently, in his opinion, this ancient painting of 50,000 yuan can still take a risk to take it, and 200,000 yuan is definitely not worth it.

Ten minutes later, Liu Gang ran back, and with a brown paper bag wrapped in black plastic paper, he retrieved 200,000 yuan in cash.

After opening the kraft paper bag and letting the young man click it carefully, Li Yang took the ancient painting from his hand, and the young man thanked him again and again, and finally left with the 200,000 yuan on his face.

Looking at the back of this young man, Wu Xiaoli suddenly felt a wave of envy in her heart, his girlfriend was about to marry him, but what about herself, thinking of this, Wu Xiaoli looked at Li Yang's back again and shook her head gently.

After buying this ancient painting, Li Yang was not very interested in other paintings in this store, Liu Gang took the painting, and the three of them walked towards other stores.

The things on the second floor are a little stronger than the first floor, but there are also a lot of fakes, and some stores are even all fakes, even if they are real, they are just some imitations of the Republic of China or the late Qing Dynasty, and the value is not high.

Half of the second floor, Li Yang took them to the third floor, the second floor has more calligraphy and painting and the four treasures of the study, and the third floor is almost the world of porcelain.

There are a lot more people on the third floor than on the second floor, and it can be seen that there are many people who love porcelain, but unfortunately there are the most fakes in porcelain, and the porcelain in the antique shop can be said to be nine fake out of ten, and the only thing you think is real is not necessarily good.

Seeing the porcelain shop here, Li Yang felt that it was not easy for Rong Bao Zhai at this time, and there were really not many antique shops in the country that dared to only sell genuine goods.

After visiting a few shops, Li Yang and Wu Xiaoli were shaking their heads, the porcelain here is not as fake as the porcelain of the best gentleman on the first floor, but they are almost all imitations, and they are all imitations of a certain level.

"This shop is good!"

Wu Xiaoli's eyes suddenly lit up, and she walked towards a shop first, Li Yang turned his head to look, and was immediately attracted by this porcelain shop.

This store is much bigger than the others, it is a store made by two stores, and the scale is larger than the others, and the store has more things than others.

At the same time, there are many more customers in this store than in ordinary stores, and there are more than a dozen customers in the store at this time, choosing the porcelain they like.

"Boss, please show me that!"

Wu Xiaoli suddenly pointed to a blue and white plate on the counter inside and shouted, and a waiter inside immediately handed over the plate and stood in front of Wu Xiaoli.

Wu Xiaoli picked up the blue and white plate, looked at the light carefully, and after reading it, she picked up a magnifying glass and studied it for a while, and finally nodded slightly.

The blue and white color of this blue and white plate is very pure, the decoration is also very beautiful, the tire is delicate, the pulp looks pure and natural, and the bottom of the blue and white plate has the six characters of "Qianlong Year of the Qing Dynasty", Wu Xiaoli has judged that this is a fine blue and white plate of the Qianlong Dynasty, such a plate is usually rare.

Li Yang was also attracted by this plate, which is a good blue and white plate in the Qianlong period in all aspects, especially the ornamental pictures on it, which are very in line with the characteristics of the folk kilns in the Qianlong period.

"How much does your plate cost?"

After thinking about it for a while, Wu Xiaoli finally asked the price, if the price of the plate was not expensive, she planned to buy it back, and Wu Xiaoli didn't have a good blue and white collection.

"Miss, your eyesight is really good, this Qianlong blue and white plate is also a rare boutique in our store, and the price is only 80,000!"

A smile immediately appeared on the waiter's face, Wu Xiaoli frowned, 80,000 yuan is not cheap, but when she thought that this plate was of high quality, Wu Xiaoli was a little hesitant.

"It's cheaper, after all, it's a folk kiln thing, 80,000 is a bit high!"

Li Yang walked over, also picked up the plate and looked at it carefully, and finally said to the waiter with a smile, the waiter glanced at Wu Xiaoli, shook his head, and said, "I'm sorry, 80,000 is our reserve price, and it can't be cheap!" ”

Wu Xiaoli's face changed color a few times, she has 80,000, but her current savings are only 100,000 yuan, some of which are still earned by Nanyang gambling stones, after buying this plate, she only has tens of thousands of yuan left, and it will be difficult to see other good things to buy.

Finally, after glancing at the blue and white plate, Wu Xiaoli finally gritted her teeth and nodded.

She likes this plate so much, I'm afraid she'll regret missing it this time, so it's better to buy it first and talk about it when I encounter something else.

Li Yang shook his head slightly, he wanted to buy it himself and give it to Wu Xiaoli, but when he remembered Wu Xiaoli's temper, he still didn't do it, if he did this, Wu Xiaoli would not only not accept this plate, but would also be angry with him.

Wu Xiaoli had already taken out her bank card, and when the waiter went to get the poss machine, Li Yang couldn't help but observe the plate with his special ability, and then Li Yang's eyes suddenly became a lot bigger.
