Chapter 1045 - Secret Payment

"I know it's a new imitation. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" Tang Yi nodded, "This generation, will we all tell the customer?" ”

"As long as I see it, tell the truth, you get what you pay for, make money in the open, I try not to let you be blind. However, if you want to pick up the leaks, it won't be easy! The fat old man explained earnestly.

Tang Yi thought for a while, "I'm from the mainland, are the shops on our antique street like you?" ”

"As far as I know, most of them are like this, relying on cheating, business can't last long!"

Tang Yixin said, it's really interesting. Perhaps, this is because the antiques market on Hong Kong Island is more mature than that on the mainland. It seems that if you want to pick up the leak, unless it is something very rare and special, or even something with a disguise.

Because it was the first time to visit, Tang Yi basically took a look at the situation first. He wanted to wait until the charity auction and jewelry design show were over before taking a closer look.

After walking most of the Hollywood Road, Tang Yi has never made a move. It's not that there are no real things, it's really the same as the fat old man said, the owners of these shops are generally not weak, the imitation is the price of imitation, the real thing is the real price, and to be honest, the real thing is there, and the good thing is still less.

When they walked to the west, they arrived at Sheung Wan, and then Tang Yi and Lin Huanting went to Moro Street.

There is a couplet hanging next to the door of a small shop: Danqing is my liking, bamboo and stone follow Yaxing. The horizontal batch is the name of this store: Yixing Zhai.

This shop is mainly calligraphy and painting, but most of them are modern and modern painters, and then there are some antique works. Tang Yi was about to leave, when a middle-aged woman stepped forward, "It seems that the things in the small store can't get into your eyes." ”

This is the first shopkeeper who Tang Yi has visited so many stores and speaks Mandarin when he comes up.

"Where, I mainly like some old stuff." Tang Yi smiled.

"Listening to your accent, I'm from the north, I often go to Yanjing, and there is business over there." The female shopkeeper laughed.

"Oh! No wonder. Tang Yi nodded, "This couplet at your door is good." ”

"There really aren't many old things in my store." The female shopkeeper smiled, and suddenly seemed to remember something, "I have an ancient painting here, which was left by the old neighbors to sell on behalf of the old neighbors, and it hasn't been put out yet, why don't you give it a palm?" ”

"You're welcome." Tang Yi nodded. The tone of this female shopkeeper has a bit of the characteristics of doing business in the mainland.

After a while, the female shopkeeper came out with a wooden box, the box was very ordinary, and the paulownia wood was painted. However, as soon as he opened the box, Tang Yi found that this framed ayako was old, about the end of the Qing Dynasty.

The heart of this painting is not very big, there are two or three square feet, but as soon as it is opened, Tang Yi's eyes light up, because this painting heart is not from the late Qing Dynasty.

The paper is colored, the mountains are stacked, the forests are thick, the caves are dense, and there is a lake under the mountain, which is sparkling. This painting is very full, which is rare in ancient paintings, the ancient Chinese people paid attention to an artistic conception, usually liked to use blank space, and ink painting is even more so.

However, although it is full, it does not give people a crowded and oppressive feeling, but is full of momentum and the feeling is varied.

What a picture of Spring Mountain near the lake! Tang Yi said secretly.

"This painting looks like an antique work from the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, but the level is quite high, and it is a pity that there is no name." The female shopkeeper said on the side.

It is true that the painting has no name, only two seals. One is "Changfeng Collection" and the other is "Wangpinzhai".

And the two seals are of different years, the "Changfeng Collection" is from the Qing Dynasty, and the "Wangpinzhai" is from the Ming Dynasty. Tang Yi had never heard of the contents of these two seals, and they may have been personal seals.

Tang Yi nodded, and looked at the method carefully, that's right, there are both Xie Suo and Niu Mao Wei (Note: Xie Suo is mainly a curved long line, and the solution is average; Cow hair is mainly fine and dense, like cow hair), dry and wet interchange, fresh and solemn, thick and beautiful.

"Is there a magnifying glass?" Tang Yi asked.

"Yes, wait a minute." The shopkeeper nodded. In the calligraphy and painting shop, it's strange that there is no magnifying glass.

Tang Yi took the magnifying glass and looked at a few key parts. Just when he saw the entrance of a cave, his hand couldn't help but pause, and he was secretly happy!

"Boss, although this painting is an anonymous work, I really like it, you can give a real price!" Tang Yi said after putting down the magnifying glass.

"This is sold by the neighborhood, since the sale is at a reserve price, I think you look like an insider, I won't say nothing, 200,000 Hong Kong dollars." The female shopkeeper smiled.

"An anonymous work in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, priced at 200,000 yuan, is indeed a bit expensive." Tang Yi also looked at the female shopkeeper with a smile, and did not return the price.

The female shopkeeper thought about it for a while, and first rolled up the painting again, "You don't know, the reserve price of this neighborhood is not low, and you don't know the market of ancient paintings now, although there is no name, but maybe it is the work of a famous artist, if you find evidence, it will not be this price!" I just received it and haven't looked it up yet. ”

"Can't it be cheaper?" Tang Yi asked, a little bit of a posture to go.

"That's it, it's auspicious, 180,000, it can't be lower." The shopkeeper reached out and tapped the box.

Tang Yi pondered for a while, if this was in the mainland, he would definitely have to talk about it again, but the way of doing business on Hong Kong Island seems to be different from that in the mainland, and 180,000 yuan is nothing compared to the real value of this painting.

"Okay, deal!"

After the transaction, the female shopkeeper put the wooden box into a delicate paper bag and handed over a business card, "Welcome to patronize again!" ”

Walking out of the storefront, Lin Huanting asked with a smile, "Picking up the leak again?" ”

"It's interesting, I actually wrote the money to the entrance of the cave, it's small and secret, I can't really see it without a magnifying glass!" Tang Yi also smiled, "This is the work of Wang Meng, a master in the Yuan Dynasty, this kind of payment can implicitly match some of his ideas." ”

"Wang Meng? I've heard my grandfather say that it seems that his paintings are very expensive. ”

"yes, do you know who his grandfather is? Zhao Mengfu! Tang Yi said with a smile, "Wang Meng's landscape paintings, influenced by Zhao Mengfu, and studied under Dong Yuan and Ju Ran, and collected the strengths of several famous artists and created their own style. He, Huang Gongwang, Wu Zhen, and Ni Zan are collectively known as the 'Yuan Four Families'. ”

said that Wang Meng's paintings are expensive, that is really expensive! Five years ago, one of his vertical scrolls was auctioned for a high price of 400 million!

Zhang Daqian has imitated Wang Meng's works more than once. Even imitations, tens of millions of high prices have been auctioned.

Lin Huanting knew that Tang Yi had picked up a leak, but she didn't expect it to be such a big leak! "If there were no words 'Wang Meng' at the entrance of the cave, then I'm afraid it wouldn't be so valuable, right? By the way, what do you mean when you just said that this secret payment is in line with some of his ideas? ”
