Chapter 615: "Three-Body Problem, Bai's Poems"
It's a luxury car, it's jewelry, especially the value of jewelry is several times that of a luxury car, this kind of loser's behavior made Li Yi complain, but in fact, this kind of behavior should be very in line with Lu Ningshuang's heart, so in the next few days, this guy can be regarded as enjoying all the gentleness. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the blink of an eye, it was the official day of the Biennale of Antiquities. Li Yi had heard of the name of the Biennale for a long time, and in the past few days, he has really checked some information, and knows that this exhibition is different from ordinary antique exhibitions and jewelry exhibitions, so he also wants to take Lu Ningshuang to see and see it.
It's just that I didn't expect Lu Ningshuang to be not very interested in these activities, plus the Biennale, whether it is an exhibitor or a guest, adopts an invitation system, and Li Yi does not have an invitation letter, and she still needs Shi Qiba's leadership to enter, so she doesn't want to join in the excitement.
Helpless, Li Yi had no choice but to rush back to Paris alone.
The Biennale des Antiquaires is held at the Grand Palais in Paris, a building famous for its unique glass dome that has historically been the site of the Biennale des Antiquaires.
Each Biennale, the organizers will not only invite those famous jewelers, antique dealers, and contemporary art masters to participate in the exhibition, but also invite professional design masters to design the pavilion with a unique theme, coupled with the integration of food, tourism and other elements, each Biennale can be regarded as a large gathering of fashion, jewelry and antiques.
"I suggest you take a look at the jewelry exhibition area first, because every time it is this exhibition area that is the most active in trading, not even half a day, all the jewelry will be famous, you know, the jewelry that can participate in the exhibition has been strictly reviewed by the organizer, and it is absolutely the only one ......
Shi Qiba knew that Li Yi was willing to spend money to buy things for his little girlfriend, so he strongly recommended that he visit the jewelry exhibition area first. Li Yi thought about it for a while and chose to refuse, because there were not too many antique dealers participating in this exhibition, and there were only a few Chinese antiques on display, even if it was too late to look at the jewelry after reading it first.
Besides, it's just that the jewelry thing goes crazy once in a while, and I really expect him to shop when he sees good things, so how much money does he have to spend it?!
Shi Qiba stayed at Van Cleef & Arpels' booth, while Li Yi followed the sign's instructions and went to the antiques section.
As soon as I arrived at the antique area, the first thing I saw was a huge oil painting hanging in the air, and after a little hesitation, Li Yi recognized the origin of this painting, which should be the founder of Fauvism, the famous French painter and sculptor. Matisse's "The King's Sorrow".
Created in 1952, this painting is one of Matisse's masterpieces, and its size is so large that it is even more than 10 square meters!
However, this painting is also the same as the "Lavender Mist", the picture is quite strange and bizarre, so that people like Li Yi do not have the slightest ability to appreciate it.
Shrugging his shoulders and walking past the famous painting, which was likely to be a fake, Li Yi saw the first real antique booth at the fair.
There weren't a lot of things on display at this booth, but the variety was very messy, containing almost all the elements of Western antiques, and I wonder if the exhibitors wanted to use this limited space to tell all visitors that they had all kinds of antiques in their home.
"Yes, we have all kinds of antiques in our house, including some art treasures from China."
The staff member who received Li Yi said as he took out a glass frame from behind the workbench,
"This is supposed to be a Chinese calligraphy, but there is really no place to show ......"
Don't have a place to show? Li Yi frowned and took the frame and looked at the words on the inside.
This should be a seven-character quatrain called "Wu Lu", but in Li Yi's memory, there is no such poem, and the work is not signed or sealed, it looks like an unknown calligrapher scribble.
"I don't only store my wife and children, but I feel that I have invaded my body and decayed over the years...... No, this is a three-body calligraphy! ”
The so-called three-body calligraphy is that in a calligraphy work, three or more fonts appear at the same time, this kind of calligraphy writing is extremely difficult, because few people can practice a variety of fonts to the point of perfection.
In Li Yi's memory, the most famous of this kind of calligraphy works should be Zhu Yunming's three-body calligraphy "Miscellaneous Poems" long scroll, and the others, I really haven't heard of any too outstanding works.
After searching on the Internet, "Wu Lu" is the work of the Tang Dynasty poet Bai Juyi, and when he was searching for three-body calligraphy, an unexpected name suddenly broke into his sight.
Ono Michifeng ...... Rub, how did you forget this guy who burned the bun?!
This guy who is called the Three Traces of Japan and Fujiwara Saori and Fujiwara Yukinari, and is also called "Xi Zhi Reincarnation" by the Japanese, seems to love to do this kind of thing! And this guy admires Bai Juyi the most, and even wrote a whole volume of "Three-Body Problem Bai's Poems"!
As soon as this idea popped up, Li Yi immediately remembered what he had seen in the Jiang family, and was later compensated to Bai Qianye by the Jiang family, which was also from Ono Daofeng's "Edict of the Master of Wisdom", and then quickly confirmed that this should be the true work of Ono Daofeng, "Three-Body Bai's Poetry and Wulu Chapter"!
After checking the paper and finding that it was not old, Li Yi quietly opened the spirit identification card, and then asked quietly:
"How do you sell this work?"
"One hundred thousand, one hundred thousand euros, sir, you must know that although this work is anonymous, this poem is very famous, this is ......"
At this time, there were very few guests in the antique exhibition area, and Li Yi was the first guest of this booth, so the staff showed great enthusiasm, and even wanted to read this "Wulu" directly in Chinese.
"OK, OK, 100,000 euros, huh? I bought it. ”
Seeing that Li Yi took out a credit card with the UnionPay logo without saying a word, the staff was stunned for a moment, and then gave him a thumbs up. The Chinese people really have money, and they buy a work that doesn't know who the author is for 100,000 euros without even blinking an eye...... No, or did he recognize whose handwriting it was?
However, even if he recognized whose handwriting it was, it didn't matter, because his task was only to sell things according to the boss's price, not to mention, the two had already negotiated the price, so he wouldn't lose his credibility because of a small guess.
"Sir, can you tell me whose work this calligraphy is?"
After collecting the money and opening the bills, the staff couldn't help but ask.
"Oh, I don't know this very well, I just think this calligraphy is indeed an antique, may I ask, do you have any other antiques from Huaxia here?"
Li Yi is very brazen to conceal the truth of the facts, but of course he himself will not think so, in his own words, he is helping others, otherwise let this person know that he is so cheap to sell a "national treasure" that the Japanese will get back crying and crying back......
Such a cruel thing, how can he be so kind?
"Of course, of course, we won't just bring this Chinese antique ......"
As the man spoke, he took out another frame,
"This one is a little more expensive than that one......"
Li Yi raised his eyebrows, he already recognized it, this was actually "Dream Xingjian" in "Three-Body Bai's Poem", but this poem is written in cursive throughout, is this the reason why it will be slightly more expensive?
"It's another anonymous calligraphy......"
Li Yi realized that he might have been a little too eager just now, so he decided that this calligraphy should be bargained for and take a gesture, anyway, he was a guest nearby, and he was not afraid of being cut off.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that when he opened the spirit card and wanted to verify the authenticity of this calligraphy, the spirit card actually gave a result that made him a little dumbfounded, this word was actually written by an unknown person from the Qing Dynasty imitating Wang Xizhi's handwriting!
Shaking his head, Li Yi returned the frame to the staff, he is not familiar with Japanese calligraphers, but he still knows Chinese calligraphy masters, although this character also has a certain collection value, but it is a little more expensive than 100,000 euros, so there is no need to collect it.
"Oh?"
Seeing Li Yi return the frame, the staff member was also stunned for a moment, because according to the appraisal of their company's appraiser, this character and the one just now should be from the same person, but this guy, he bought the one just now without saying a word, why did he just look at it twice and then return it?
"Anything else?"
Li Yi saw that the staff member was a little inexplicable, and couldn't help but smile slightly, if he tossed it like this, even if he had any suspicions, he should have been dispelled. It's just a pity, if this is also a work of Ono Michifeng, even if it's more expensive, he's willing to buy it!
"Oh, the calligraphy works are gone, and there are two ink paintings, I don't know if you are interested."
The man took out two scrolls from behind the workbench and, as he opened them, said:
"This one is the "Ink Bamboo Picture" by Jin Nong, a famous bamboo painter in the Qing Dynasty, and the other is the "Green Landscape Map" by the Qing Dynasty painter Xie Sun......"
"Oh?"
Li Yi raised his eyebrows, revealing an interested look, Jin Nong is the head of the eight monsters in Yangzhou, although his calligraphy achievements are higher, but the paintings are also very collectible, especially the ink and bamboo he painted, although the style is different from Zheng Banqiao, it is also worthy of the reputation of a generation of famous artists.
As for Xie Sun, it is one of the eight families of Jinling with Gong Xian and Fan Qi, but his works have been handed down very rarely, and if this is a genuine work, the collection value will be above Jin Nong's "Ink and Bamboo Map".
After carefully inspecting the two works, Li Yi paid another 380,000 euros to pocket these two works, he never thought that there would be a chance to pick up a leak at such a level of exhibition, and it was a big leak, so is there a chance next?
The next few stores did not have any Huaxia antiques, and although Li Yi verified each of the objects on display with a spirit appreciation card, he did not find a single leak to pick up, so he had to shake his head regretfully, and then looked down.
Walking into a booth again, Li Yi suddenly saw a familiar figure, and couldn't help but smile slightly, Okita Jun, I hope you have something here and I can look at, otherwise, you are afraid that you will go to Huaxia to find me!
Okita's booth was small, but it was divided into three areas. One area displays contemporary Japanese art, another displays Kutani ware porcelain, and an area labeled with Asian antiques displays several pieces of ancient porcelain from China, as well as two woodcarved Buddha statues that look a bit like Indian wood carving.
"Hi, Your Excellency Li Yi, welcome to our booth, is there anything we can do for you?"
Okita already knew that Li Yi used a "Lavender Mist" to trade his two Chinese treasures from Arnott, but he didn't have any regrets, just a little jealous of this kid's good fortune, and he was able to have a world-class famous painting like "Lavender Mist", if this painting was in the hands of their people of the Great Japanese Empire, they would never take it out and trade.
Li Yi glanced at a few pieces of porcelain on the booth with a smile, and shook his head with some disappointment,
"Your Excellency Okita, how many of these items did you bring with you this time? Or is there something good that you haven't had time to put on the table yet? ”
"Hehe, the two most precious pieces have already been traded away by you, but if Your Excellency Li Yi has any treasures of the same level as "Lavender Mist", I don't mind letting the family urgently transfer some antiques from Japan......"
"Oh? Is it? ”
Li Yi smiled slightly, and took out the "Three-Body Bai's Poetry and Wu Lu Chapter" from his backpack,
"Your Excellency Okita, I don't know if this work is qualified for you to transfer goods from your family?"
"This one? Chinese calligraphy? ”
Okita glanced at Li Yi suspiciously, this guy actually traded a Chinese calligraphy work with him, is this a mistake?
"Your Excellency Okita, please take a closer look, the three-body problem Bai's poetry ......"
"What?"
Okita exclaimed, and then stared at the painting "My House", and slowly frowned,
"Your Excellency Li Yi, can you wait a moment? I need someone to help me take a look. ”
Li Yi stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please, Okita confessed, and hurriedly dialed out a phone number, and after a while, a thin old man with white hair and a bright head hurried over, followed by a fat middle-aged man like a ball.
"Where's the thing?"
As soon as the old man rushed into his position, he yelled at Okita, and the chubby middle-aged man looked at Li Yi while panting, his eyes full of confusion.
"That's right, this is Ono-kun's real handiwork! This is the missing page in the "Three-Body Problem Bai's Poetry Scroll", Baga, who stole it? ”
The old man's excited beard was trembling, but the words he said made Li Yi frown, this "Wulu" was stolen by someone? Is it stolen goods? (To be continued.) )
