Chapter 55: Wanda VS Jianye
"Boy, I heard you slapped your face again a few days ago?"
Today is the day of the official auction of Nanzhang and Northern Qi, Hu Jianmin and Song Lao arrived early in the morning, it seems that the richest man in the province is going to make a personal move?
"Don't look at me like this, Qi Baishi and Daqian are my favorites. Especially calligraphy, if you like it, you can take it directly. ”
Wu Tianyuan said with a smile: "You are really a collector and an investor!" I heard that you have dozens of master paintings in your hands? ”
"Hehe, there are more modern masters, fifty or sixty. Before the Ming and Qing dynasties, there were few, and there were only ten paintings in total! That kind of treasure is not just money, it also needs fate, and many of the things in my hands are things that have been repatriated from overseas. ”
Hu Jianmin sighed, he is a senior collector, involved in the collection for more than ten years, assisting in calligraphy and painting, especially calligraphy, the last time I bought the authentic works and seals of Master Wu Changshuo, such as a treasure.
"I'm not the only one today, isn't it Bai Hua, the deputy artistic director of Wanda?"
Wu Tianyuan looked in the direction indicated by Hu Jianmin, it was really the birch that took a picture of the stone scoop pot last time, and the other party happened to see them and walked over with a smile.
"Brother Hu is good, there are also Song Lao and Wu brothers, don't come unharmed?"
Hu Jianmin deliberately calmed his face and warned: "Every time I see you, the kid is in a bad mood!" Always rob me of treasures, I really don't give face. ”
Bai Hua laughed and said, "Brother Hu's words are really wronged to kill the little brother!" Receiving money from people, and being loyal to people. Since I have a big job, I naturally have to fight for good things, right? Last time, I took Brother Wu's stone scoop pot, and today I heard that there is Zhang Daqian, can you come and take a look? ”
"Brother Bai, last time you came and went in a hurry, I haven't thanked you for your support, this time I finally have a chance."
Wu Tianyuan hurriedly said politely, these are all big tyrants, and it is beneficial to have important connections in the future, and it is good to have a close relationship.
"You're welcome, brother, you are a capable person, I already know the news. Don't say much else, if there are good babies in the future, it is inconvenient to auction, contact me directly. ”
Wu Tianyuan took Bai Hua's business card and carefully kept it, Wanda's art team is the top professionals in China. I heard that there are more than a dozen light appraisers, all of whom are authoritative people in the circle, with an investment amount of more than one billion yuan per year, which is absolutely a tyrant.
"Don't listen to him, you kid! In the future, there is a good calligraphy and calligraphy and painting directly to find me first, although I Jianye is not bigger than 10,000, but the collection is not stingy, hum! ”
Song Lao looked at it, smiled and said: "You are all big tyrants, just me is a poor scholar!" God, if there is a treasure, let the old man take a look. ”
"Hahaha!" A few people talked and laughed, and now Wu Tianyuan has slowly entered the field of vision of the great collectors, which is a good progress.
Today, Li Yuntian is still presiding over the auction, and Sun Yuyao is responsible for following the number plate on the side, which is also a knowledge, paying attention to eye disease and quick hands, which is a compulsory means for auctioneers.
"Thank you for coming to participate in the special auction of Zhongzheng South Zhang Beiqi, today we carefully give you 36 masterpieces! Without further ado, the first lot started to ......"
"The first one is a picture of a mandarin duck in the lotus pond of the old man Baishi, 80cm by 35cm, Mr. Bingwen Qing, the old man of Baishi. Lingyin Qi ......"
All the people who came were old acquaintances, Li Yuntian was not polite, and directly started the auction. Although the number of lots this time is small, the name is big and the quality is also excellent. It is estimated that each one will have to go through a long period of competition, and several big collectors are present today, not to mention others, Hu Jianmin and Bai Hua, there must be a dragon and tiger fight.
Sun Lao, Song Lao and Wu Tianyuan sat together, and the three of them were convenient to chat, and Wu Tianyuan could also observe the situation and accumulate experience.
"This time, the auctions in Xijing are all raw goods inherited by Japanese collectors, and they will appear in China for the first time, and the prices will not be low. The one I collected is also considered a high-quality product, and the other five can only be regarded as general works, except for the flying maid picture, which is distinctive, so don't have too high psychological expectations. ”
Wu Tianyuan nodded and said: "I know this, according to Mr. Daqian's market price, calculated per square foot, a painting can have 1.2 million yuan to pass, and the most is earned." ”
"Yes, you kid is getting more and more mature." Song Lao praised: "Even masters have good and bad works, and they can't all be high-quality works." The most valuable works of modern masters are large-scale works, the larger the rarer, the price is generally tens of millions, and hundreds of millions are normal. For example, Zhang Daqian's Love Trace Lake photographed by Wanda Wang Jiansen is a rare heavy color painting, and hundreds of millions of dollars are very easy. ”
"There is also an eagle picture of the pine stone mountain of the old man Baishi, a large middle hall, plus a pair of huge seal book couplets, which was auctioned for 400 million, creating a sky-high price of Chinese calligraphy and painting, also because of the special theme, it is rare to see."
The most fundamental thing in collecting is that rare things are expensive, and the less genuine products, the more collectible they are, and the greater the appreciation potential. The Song porcelain in porcelain, the Song and Yuan Dynasty calligraphy and paintings in calligraphy and painting, the bronze in the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, and the jade in the Han Dynasty are all national treasures.
"Congratulations, 2.8 million, it's yours!"
"The second is a landscape ...... made by the old man Shiraishi in 1960"
The three of them watched and chatted, and the people who came today were all senior collectors, and the price was very rational. Do your homework ahead of time and choose the ones you like, or the ones that are missing from the collection system. In particular, Hu Jianmin and Bai Hua are both veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time, and their psychological qualities are very strong.
"Congratulations to Mr. Hu, you have received another masterpiece!"
Hu Jianmin nodded with satisfaction, the price of this Daqian calligraphy is right, Bai Hua's kid did not fight, he was happy, today he fancy five or six paintings, the most favorite is Wu Tianyuan's Feitian maid, which is an important work of Daqian Change, and has strong research value.
"Lot 20 is the most important figure of Daqian, and it is also his work of enlightenment after three years of facing the wall, the picture of the Flying Handmaid ......"
Li Yuntian vividly talked about the experience of Mr. Daqian leaving his hometown and going all the way to Dunhuang to sketch, so that everyone could feel the pious heart of a generation of masters, and finally made a breakthrough after three years of eating and sleeping in the open air, forming his own unique style.
"The starting price is three million, and the price increases by 300,000 each time!"
As soon as Li Yuntian's voice fell, Hu Jianmin was the first to shout out four million, which was directly too high for one million!
"Lao Hu knew that Bai Hua might fight with him this time, so he directly grabbed people and kicked others out, which also saved trouble."
After listening to Sun Lao's words, Wu Tianyuan saw that sure enough, several collectors who were about to move had died down, and he probably knew that he couldn't grab the two predators, so he gave up early.
"Four million three thousand!"
Bai Hua looked at Hu Jianmin, smiled and added a hand, he is also bound to win the flying maid this time, and it is also exciting to be able to fight with the master, and it is a rare enjoyment.
"Four hundred and six!"
"Five hundred!"
"Five and a half million!"
"Six hundred!"
Li Yuntian's fingers kept moving between Hu Jianmin and Bai Hua, and the audience also burst into warm applause, which was the highest price in the audience for the time being. Watching two local tyrants grab things, even onlookers are very happy.
"Boy, your stuff is good, naturally someone will rob it, I originally estimated that it would be good if it could be five million. Now with Birch joining, hehe. ”
Sun Lao is also very happy, his auction can attract the competition of big collectors is very proud, a dragon crossing the river, a snake on the ground, the dragon fights for the tiger.
"Congratulations to Mr. Hu for the 7 million transaction!"
Bai Hua shook his head, after all, he had a budget, and there were several other works to grab. Hu Jianmin himself is the boss, and he has no choice but to give up.
"Seven million!" Wu Tianyuan waved his fist, and made a lot of money this time, plus the first five transactions totaled more than 6 million, and this time there were 13 million in the account.
