In Li Yi's view, whether it is the status in the history of Chinese painting or the real level, among the painters of the past dynasties, there are only a few people in each generation who can compete with Dong Yuan, let alone be able to stand firmly on it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, the above considerations are comprehensive, and if you compare only two isolated works, you should still be able to distinguish the superior and inferior. It's just that this is a very difficult thing for Chinese appraisers, calligraphers and painters, and Li Yi doesn't think that these foreigners can have this level.

So he quickly reacted, the reason why Rogov said this, on the one hand, it should be the habitual Wang Po selling melons and boasting about herself, and on the other hand, it mostly means that the negotiations on Pat's side are not going well, so he wants to find a replacement for him.

"Rogov, is it that Pat did not agree with my offer of 3.8 million euros, so you told me about this painting?"

Rogov was stunned for a moment, then shook his head,

"No, no, Lee, I think you misunderstood, that matter has nothing to do with this at all, Pat told me that he will carefully consider your offer and give a reply within three days, and I think the chances of him accepting the offer are very good."

After a pause, he continued:

"Jing Hao, Jing Hao, do you know? I have checked some relevant information, whether it is the era or the status in the history of Chinese painting and calligraphy, Jing Hao is a level higher than Zhao Boju. And Adolf's collection is one of Jing Hao's works, so I think his painting should be more collectible than Pat's. ”

Jing Hao? Adolf actually has Jing Hao's works in his collection?

Li Yi couldn't help but gasp, if this painting is genuine, then, don't say that Pat mistook the "Autumn Mountain Scene" for Zhao Boju's work, even if they knew that the painting was the authentic work of Dong Yuan, who was known as the originator of the Southern School of Landscape, its value was only slightly inferior to this painting!

The reason why I say this is not that Jing Hao is necessarily better than Dong Yuan, the main reason is because of the number of inherited works.

For example, Dong Yuan, Wang Meng, Huang Gongwang, these people, although the works that have been handed down to this day are rare, there are always a few authentic works handed down, but Jing Hao, there are only two hand-me-down works at present.

Moreover, these two works have been controversial until now, and many experts and scholars believe that whether it is the "Kuang Lu Map" collected by the National Palace Museum in Taipei, or the "Snow Landscape Map" collected by the Nelson Museum of Art in Kansas City, USA, it is not Jing Hao's authentic work!

Of course, aside from this factor, in terms of status in the history of Chinese painting, Jing Hao is not only not inferior to Dong Yuan, but also slightly higher than Dong Yuan. Because he not only created the Northern School of Landscape Painting with equal emphasis on brush and ink, he was respected as the ancestor of the Northern School of Landscape Painting by later generations, but also left the famous landscape painting theory "Brushwork Notes" for future generations, and put forward the so-called "six points" of painting scenery of air, rhyme, thought, scene, pen and ink.

"Notes Method" is definitely a classic in the theory of ancient landscape painting, and it is more theoretical value than the "Six Laws Theory" of Nanqi Sheikh in the earlier period, but from this point of view, Jing Hao should have a higher achievement than Dong Yuan, not to mention, Dong Yuan's early landscape painting method also studied under Jing Hao.

"If you can get another authentic painting of Jing Hao, this trip to Europe ......"

Li Yi shook his head with emotion, if Tian Zechuan could negotiate with the Japanese side, and he was sure that Adolf's collection was indeed Jing Hao's authentic handiwork and included it in his arms, then he really didn't know how to describe his trip to Europe.

Looking at Li Yi's face, Luo Guofu spread his hands and made an expression that was indeed so,

"Li, even if Adolf is going to sell this ancient painting, the price is likely to be sky-high, so I have to regret to remind you that things should not be as simple as you think."

"Hahahaha, it's okay, let's not say whether the painting is genuine or not, I don't know, even if he really offers a sky-high price, I think, I should have a way to deal with it."

Judging from the information provided by Rogov, if the painting in Adolf's collection is indeed Jing Hao's authentic work, then his offer is likely not to be lower than Huang Tingjian's "Pillar Inscription" or Wang Meng's "Zhichuan Migration Map", that is, around 50 million euros.

However, although this price is scary, it is not impossible to consider, of course, the reason why he is so confident is mainly because he still has three works in his hand that can be exchanged.

The three works left in Li Yi's hands, in terms of value alone, should be based on Titian. Vecellio's "Heavenly Love and Earthly Love" is the most precious. An ancient oil painting of this caliber is unlikely to be available on the market today, and Li Yi believes that if he were just seeking money, the painting would probably cost more than $300 million.

And the famous British watercolor painter Paul. Sandby's "The Old Beech Tree" is not easy to estimate, but Li Yi believes that if he finds the right buyer, it should cost more than $100 million.

At the moment, the only thing that makes him undefinable is Hans. Hoffman's "Dialogue". This time, if Adolf's offer was really similar to what he had guessed, he decided to try the painting first, and even if it couldn't be negotiated, he would at least know an approximate price.

Seeing Li Yi's confident look, Luo Gufu shrugged his shoulders, anyway, he had already said everything he could say, and then, there should be nothing to do with him.

"By the way, Rogov, how many people are there at your antique dealer's party this time? How many Chinese antiques do they have? What are the precious national treasures or first-class cultural relics? And ......"

Seeing Li Yi throwing out a long list of questions like a machine gun, Rogov wailed and slapped his head hard,

"Stop, stop, Mr. Li Yi, I'm just a poor antique dealer who wants you to make a trip to Russia and let me make a small fortune from you, these questions of yours...... Oh buy ga, you slow down and ask, let's take our time and discuss it, okay? ”

Hearing Luo Guofu's answer, Li Yi suddenly had an idea and asked:

"Rogov, how much money do you make in a year?"

"Uh...... That didn't seem to be the problem just now, right? ”

"No, I'm trying to say how high I should pay you if I want to ask you to do something......

Plus just exchanged to John. So far, Li Yi has exchanged a total of four valuable European antiques for his "Scream". The first Bronze Age, because of the help of the god Ma, so it really did shop around, although the final choice of Dean was an unexpected choice, but Li Yi felt that only that exchange he had a relatively large advantage.

Of course, he was also very satisfied with the subsequent exchanges, but the reason why it was so smooth was more due to the emergence of some unexpected factors.

And Tian Zechuan's intervention, coupled with the fact that he has been thinking about the jewelry company in the past few days, made him realize that if he really wants to do a good job in the return of cultural relics, it is not realistic to rely on his own strength, he should set up a team, even if the members of this team are not full-time to serve this purpose, but the effect should be much better than when he is busy alone.

The composition of this team should have people like Tian Zechuan and Luo Guofu who have a lot of information on cultural relics, and there should also be people like Tan Moxuan, who have expertise in negotiation, and even professional legal and financial advisers. He can't ignore these things because it's been going well now, otherwise, he will most likely suffer a big loss in the future.

Unlike other core members of the team, the person responsible for providing information has the least responsibility and the corresponding requirements are the lowest, so why can't you try to accept Rogov if you can accept Tazawagawa?

Moreover, because of Rogov's identity, he still has an innate advantage in inquiring about the whereabouts of the lost cultural relics that Tian Zechuan does not have, and all he has to do is to spend some small information fees for this information, so why not?

Straightening out his train of thought, Li Yi explained to Luo Guofu, and when Luo Guofu heard it, he was overjoyed, and put his arm around Li Yi's shoulders.

"Boss, I can make about $5 million a year now, if you can get this price, I won't do business, I will go out every day to ask you for information!"

"Go! Think I'm wronged? It's still 5 million US dollars, I think 50,000 is about the same! ”

"Oh buy ga, you cut the price here too hard, it's 100 times less at once, it's too black-hearted......"

"Okay, now there's a serious matter to talk about, if you do it well, we can seriously talk about your remuneration, if this thing is messed up......"

Li Yi spread his hands and took the lead in walking up to the second floor, once he figured it out, many questions and ideas came to his mind uncontrollably, he had to sort it out, and then take this opportunity to test it, if it was feasible, he was going to start with Rogov first, and then find an opportunity to expand this team of collecting information.

When he was just introduced, he knew that the VIP negotiation room was located on the second floor, and when he walked up to take a look, it was really a good place to talk about things.

After pouring a cup of coffee for himself and Rogov, Li Yi found a good pen and paper, and discussed with Rogov while sorting out his thoughts.

"First of all, we need to define the scope of information about cultural relics that need to be collected, and I think we can consider the following aspects. The simplest is the age of the cultural relics, and then the type of cultural relics, as for the value of cultural relics, this is a bit difficult for you, but if the age and type are limited, these should not be a problem. ”

"Of course, the older the cultural relics, the more precious they are, but this is not absolute, so there need to be other conditions to limit it. Take porcelain as an example, we can determine its preciousness according to the dynasty, vessel type, glaze color, kiln mouth, etc., such as the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty, as well as the fine porcelain of the three generations of Kang Yongqian, no matter what type and glaze color should be within the scope of collection. There are also bronzes, which can be roughly seen in the preciousness of dynasties alone......"

"As for the remuneration for collecting this information, we can define it according to the amount and value of the information, of course, I can also give you a fixed remuneration, it is entirely up to you to choose. Sometimes, you need to have preliminary contact and negotiation on something, and we can also give you a certain percentage of the final transaction amount......"

"Take Pat's ancient painting this time, for example, if it can be sold in the end, I can pay you a certain amount of introduction fee according to the rules of the industry. Of course, if you can further lower the price on top of the current price of 3.8 million, and help me save this part, we can also divide the account by four, six or five, including talking to Adolf about his painting later, you can participate......"

The more Li Yi speaks, the more he can think of more and more aspects, and the more Luo Guofu listens, the brighter his eyes become, many aspects of what Li Yi says are simply a gesture for him, and now this gesture is likely to be sold for a big price, how can he not be happy and excited?

"Li, a lot of this information you need, I can provide you now, even if I don't know it for a while, I can get the relevant information quickly, but the problem of this remuneration is a bit difficult to define, for example, this time I told you that Adolf has Jing Hao's ancient painting in his hand, and is ready to sell this information, its value should not be comparable to the ordinary Qing Dynasty porcelain I provided you, like this situation, how should you calculate the remuneration for me?"

"It's very simple, we can do it in phases and situations. For example, if you give me the information, I will follow a basic price, $10 a piece or $100 a piece, which can be discussed later, and then, if I take a fancy to this thing, and finally the transaction is successful, then I will add a certain percentage of the information fee according to the amount of the transaction. These can be discussed slowly......"

Rogov nodded,

"Actually, I think that the basic information fee can also be divided according to the value of the cultural relics, for example, if it is less than $1 million, $10 a piece, between $1 million and $5 million, you should pay me $100 a piece......"

"These are not problems, we can discuss them slowly, and the most important thing now is that we need to think carefully about what else can be included in this cooperation framework, and what safeguards we need in order to be able to implement it effectively......

For a moment, the room fell silent, and both men began to use their brains, trying to perfect the plan from their own standpoint, so much so that Adolf walked in without noticing.

"What's wrong, what are you thinking about so attentively?"

"Oh, dear Adolf, are you done? If you're done, can you take out that Jing Hao's painting and let Mr. Li Yi take a look? He's a big patron! ”

Adolf smiled and shook the painting tube he was holding, took out an ancient painting in ink and color on silk, and slowly spread it out on the table in the reception room.

"Huh?" (To be continued.) )
