Chapter 120, the existence that shocked Xi Qing
Sha'er was stunned for a moment, and after looking at Wu Lisa on the side, he said to Xi Qing: "My dear, what do you mean by calling us here today?" Let's take a look at Mr. Picasso's work? And then tell us to leave? ”
Schar is also an important figure in the British collecting circle, and he does not think that he has given up an important dinner party just to see Picasso's work, and it is better to go to the Louvre. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Mr. Schar's Chinese is very good, it seems that you heard me correctly......"
Xi Qing didn't answer Sha'er's words, but praised his Chinese proficiency, Sha'er nodded very gentlemanly, waiting for Xi Qing's next step.
"Presumably, Mr. Schal must also know the culture of our country very well, in our country, collectors rarely use money to buy the collection he likes, but more often, use their own collection to exchange with each other, so that both sides can get their favorite collection, Mr. Schal, I think, you should understand what I mean, right?"
In fact, bartering is not only the patent of Chinese Tibetan friends, but also very popular in the world, as soon as Shahr heard Xi Qing's words, he immediately reacted, he completely understood Xi Qing's thoughts.
But then Shaal's eyebrows were also tightly wrinkled, the occurrence of barter transactions is mostly due to the proposing party, taking a fancy to a certain object of the other party, and then taking out his best things to exchange with it.
But the current situation is that Xi Qing doesn't even know what collection he has, so he dares to propose a barter exchange, making it clear that he is relying on those Picasso sketches in his hand, and if he can't get the antiques that satisfy the other party, I'm afraid this transaction will be ruined.
But Schar really cares about the Picasso drawings in Xi Qing's hands, as a collector can become a world-class collector, whether there are works like Picasso or Van Gogh in his collection, which is an extremely important sign.
The heritage of the Schar family is nothing more than a large number of antiques and cultural relics plundered from China back then, but there is not much collection of European and American artworks, and Schar wants to be affirmed by international collectors, and it is far from enough to have antiques from China.
These treasures of Xi Qing, he dreamed of it.
"Mr. Xi, you say that, I think I understand what you mean, but my collection is in London, and there is no way to choose for you now, so I am also very sorry......"
Schal's mentality is very correct, to say that the preciousness of his collection is not necessarily lower than Picasso's works, but the rarity is precious, and millions of Chinese cultural relics are scattered abroad.
But Picasso's works come and go only in the tens of thousands, and most of them have been collected by private individuals and museums, and even if they are occasionally seen in the auction market, they are quickly sold at high prices.
Schar knew that he was lucky to see these six sketches, and his value could never be measured by their market price.
"Everything is in London?"
Hearing this, Xi Qing tapped his fingers on the table a little lightly, to be honest, he didn't really want to trade with private people, because businessmen were profit-seeking, and when they exchanged collections, they would definitely measure the value of the two items at the market price, which would not maximize their own interests.
Xi Qing's most important thing is to exchange with museums, there are many museums abroad that have many precious Chinese cultural relics, but they definitely love the latter more than Picasso's works.
Having said that, including many private museums, most of the things in the museum are not private, and if you want to donate or exchange the museum for sale, you need the consent of the museum board of directors, but Xi Qing believes that those foreigners will definitely agree to exchange Chinese antiques for Picasso's works.
Since things are not their own, there is no such thing as value equivalence, so that the operating space will be much larger, and Xi Qing can get more of what he wants.
"Mr. Xi, if you have time to go to London, I think my collection can satisfy you, you can rest assured that this is ......"
"To London?" Xi Qing originally planned to play in Paris for two days and returned to China, but he suddenly appeared to go to London, which made him a little overwhelmed.
"I'll be happy when I go to London. Are you telling the truth? ”
"Of course."
Schal really wanted to get his hands on these Picasso sketches, and he didn't want them to flow into the auction house, because Schal knew that the price of Picasso's works had risen by leaps and bounds in recent years, and the price of these sketches might be more than 10 million dollars.
Moreover, once these works are put up for auction, many things will be out of his own hands, and Schar will not be able to control the situation, and if another international collector comes to compete with him, I am afraid that he will definitely pay more money than he imagined. Money is not the problem, the problem is that it is not always possible to get it in the end.
"Well, Mr. Schar, I have been touched by your sincerity, so I may be flying to London in a few days, but before that, I would like to ask you to make a list of the best items you have, and let me see if there is any possibility of a deal between us, and if not, I won't have to go to London, will I......"
Xi Qing thought about it for a while, whether this trip to London can be made or not, you still have to look at the cultural relics of Sha'er, and this barter is simple to say, but the operation is also very complicated, three or five days will definitely not be good, and if you go to London and delay, it will be a long time.
At this time, Xi Qing put forward such a condition, he must first know what collections Sha'er has in his hands, if there is no one he is satisfied with, then this transaction will naturally not be negotiated.
Anyway, Xi Qing is not afraid that these Picasso works will not sell, as long as he releases the wind, let alone those private collectors, I am afraid that the auction house alone can step on the threshold of the hotel.
"Okay, dear Mr. Xi Qing, I'll fax you the list when I go back, I think you will be satisfied, my things are still very good, they are all good treasures......"
"Okay, then you can pass it on to me as soon as possible, and our appraisal for today will be here first, thank you for your hard work."
"Well... Good. ”
Shaer saw that Xi Qing had given an eviction order, so he stood up, shook hands with Xi Qing, handed Xi Qing a business card, and then pulled the unfinished Mr. Torres to say goodbye.
Schar is still very confident in this, his collection is mostly Chinese porcelain, and it is all official kiln masterpieces of the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, which are extremely rare in the international market, if Xi Qing is a nationalist, he will definitely be interested in the objects he has taken out.
And Shahr also believes that this Xi Qing is a patriot.
"Xi Qing, these things drawn with pencils, foreigners' things are more valuable than our cultural relics?"
After Sha'er and Wu Lisa and the others left, Tao Xiaoman picked up a sketch and looked at it, but she heard the words used by Wu Torres to praise these paintings, what good, wonderful, the application of these words, it shows that the two foreigners just now attach great importance to this painting and like it very much.
However, Tao Xiaoman looked at these paintings for a long time, no matter how she looked at them, she couldn't see a good one, artistically speaking, she didn't dare to agree, because Tao Xiaoman was not open to the point of painting ***, which also had to do with the fact that she was a girl. She always thought that if she wanted to see a bare-ass woman, there was a ******** on French television, which was much better than this painting, or *****. It's not that vivid.
"Hey, Tao Xiaoman, the real pencil drawing can be more valuable than our porcelain and antiques, otherwise no one will rush to send us money?"
Xi Qing laughed when he heard this, and after carefully putting away the sketches, he then said to Tao Xiaoman: "We have to keep these things carefully, maybe we can exchange them for a few bronzes from the **** period, don't keep them......"
"Bronze? So valuable! ”
Tao Xiaoman was taken aback by what Xi Qing said, and hurriedly caught the sketches handed over by Xi Qing with both hands, muttering in his heart, these paintings really don't look like anything, are they so good.
If you work hard, you can draw this thing, but Tao Xiaoman will not try to paint this kind of subject matter in the end.
Actually, don't understand naked. It is true that people who art in the body are like this, they don't have the cell to appreciate at all, but Xi Qing is not, looking at these works from a man's point of view, it does paint something extraordinary, and the charm of a woman's body to a man is invisibly magnified.
can make people imagine the appearance of a girl stripped naked in front of her, the clouds and rain with Tao Xiaoman that day, what is the difference between her body and this woman's body, Xi Qing can even go to infinite associations.
This is the contagious aggressiveness of art.
Xi Qing put away these sketches seriously.
More than an hour passed.
The two of them were also resting in the house.
This will make Tao Xiaoman's eyes light up.
"Xi Qing, the fax is here, you can get it......"
Suddenly remembered Tao Xiaoman's voice, Xi Qing was stunned for a moment, the efficiency of this Sha'er is really fast, it has only been an hour, and he actually sorted out the antique catalog.
How did Xi Qing know that Sha Er was afraid that Xi Qing would find a buyer again, so he hurriedly sorted out the best Chinese antiques he had on hand and faxed them to Xi Qing.
The six Picasso sketches in Xi Qing's hands must be heavier than the Chinese antiques that Schaar now collects, and they weigh more in his heart.
Naturally, he hoped that it could be exchanged.
"The Brush Washing ...... of the Southern Song Dynasty Official Kiln"
"Song Jun kiln, kiln becomes a bowl?!" When setting up a stall in the antique street, he also heard the two dealers talk about it, and this seems to be more perfect than what he saw before. This is, this is the Northern Song Dynasty, the flat chassis of the kiln pattern......
"And the Northern Song Dynasty, Dingyao plum bottle?"
"Yuan blue and white, fish bath pattern big pot ......"
"Chenghua Doucai Tianzi Jar, Southern Song Dynasty, Longquan Kiln ......"
"Wanli Colorful Bottle ......"
"Yuan Qinghua" Guiguzi Descending the Mountain" "Picture Jar ......"
Holding the fax paper in his hand, Xi Qing's body couldn't help but tremble, especially the right hand holding the paper, which trembled obviously, and Tao Xiaoman, who looked at it, widened his eyes inexplicably.
"Xi Qing, you...... What's going on? Are these antiques valuable? ”
Tao Xiaoman didn't know much about cultural relics, she asked, and this shout made Xi Qing, who was in a state of fugue, violently shake his mind and sober up.
For antiques, naturally Tao Xiaoman is not as good as Xi Qing.
Xi Qing didn't reply, he was still staying there, Tao Xiaoman asked again, "Is it valuable?" By the way, my dad was a collector, but I've never seen any of these things. ”
Naturally, your dad can't see it, whether it's your dad or a big coffee in the collection circle, who of them can meet this kind of baby.
"I didn't ...... It's nothing, don't talk yet, let me be quiet......"
Xi Qing glanced at the words on this fax paper again in disbelief, yes, he didn't look dazzled, there are indeed two pieces of Yuan blue and white, two pieces of Song Ding kiln porcelain, and there is actually a Jun kiln porcelain that has undergone a kiln change, could it be that Sha Er dug the porcelain site of the Song official kiln?
There are three of the porcelain of the five famous kilns of the Northern Song Dynasty on this fax paper, and the Jun kiln is still the porcelain that has undergone kiln changes, and its value is far better than that of ordinary Jun kiln ware.
You must know that the ancients burned kilns, and the understanding of kiln porcelain was more superstitious, such as "Qingbo Magazine" said: "Raozhou Jingde... Town, there is a kiln change between the big view, the color is red like cinnabar, the thing is abnormal for the demon, and the kiln is broken. ”
Most of the kiln workers who saw the kiln turned into porcelain were destroyed, which would be regarded as demonization and a bad omen. Therefore, there are very few kiln porcelain that have been handed down to this day, and the kiln porcelain from Jun kiln is even rarer.
Dingyao porcelain is needless to introduce, the world knows, the white porcelain-based Dingyao porcelain, on the white porcelain fetus, cover the high-temperature color glaze, the later period is fired at the black glaze, sauce glaze and green glaze and other varieties, the literature is called "black ding", "purple ding" and "green ding", famous all over the world.
The porcelain mentioned above is difficult to see in China, and sometimes it is good to see a broken porcelain piece, and on the list of Sha'er, there are several casually written, which Xi Qing believes will definitely not be all of Sha'er's old background. He must have other treasures.
To say that these pieces of porcelain from the famous Song kiln surprised Xi Qing, then the two pieces of Yuan blue and white porcelain shocked Xi Qing. (To be continued.) )
