Although Li Yi has stepped into the ranks of the rich, and the time is not short, psychologically speaking, he still does not have the concept of having to compare baht, because his money is too easy to come by. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

But what Tan Moxuan said was more reasonable, even if he could make money, he couldn't compare to the speed of spending money on what he wanted to do. Although he will not be stupid enough to invest in breaking the bank, if he wants to do as much as possible with these current resources, then he must learn to control costs.

What should I do if I can't learn? Then find someone who can control the cost to help!

And when he looked for Rogov, he had this kind of thought. But from the current point of view, if there is a deviation in his valuation at the beginning, or if he is embarrassed to squeeze Rogov desperately, then at most, this can only avoid the process of bargaining that he hates the most, and in the end it is really difficult to say whether he will take advantage or suffer.

Therefore, he wanted Tan Moxuan to join, on the one hand, to strengthen the bargaining power of this improvised small team, and on the other hand, to better control and supervise Luo Guofu. Moreover, in terms of valuation, Tan Moxuan, an old man who has been in the antique business for more than ten or twenty years, can also give him a lot of help.

This is the solution that Li Yi thought of, judging from this slightly hasty cooperation, the effect is at least much better than that of him doing it alone.

Letting Rogov flicker François there, Li Yi relaxed and began to look at the large number of Chinese antiques in the room.

François' basement is so large that it looks like it has been specially expanded, and the overall area is larger than the area of the above-ground building. Therefore, the room where he placed antiques was relatively large, almost more than 50 square meters.

On the three walls of the room, there are containers with glass doors, and the vacant wall is covered with all kinds of calligraphy and paintings.

Li Yi first looked at these calligraphy and paintings.

Unlike the calligraphy and paintings he had encountered before, François had a considerable number of works by modern Chinese calligraphers and painters, among which several works by Xu Beihong were particularly eye-catching.

Xu Beihong is a rare painter of ink painting and oil painting in the Chinese painting world, in 2011, one of his works on color on paper, "Kyushu Nothing to Do" has just hit a sky-high price of 266 million soft sister coins, in 2012, one of his oil paintings with the theme of Chinese story Soma "Jiufang Gao", with a high price of 102 million soft sister coins broke the auction record of his oil paintings.

Such a painter is unique in the history of China!

It can also be seen from this that Xu Beihong, who is famous for painting horses, is not just a painter who can paint horses.

Of the few paintings that François has hung here, only one is "Running Horse", and the rest are oil paintings with the theme of human figures, which are the works of Xu Beihong when he traveled in the early 20th century.

Li Yi first looked at the "Running Horse".

Xu Beihong's horses have a variety of shapes, such as horse, galloping horse, double horse, and multi-horse, according to the size of the horse, the age is different, and the price is different, but the average price is more than 15 million.

In this "Galloping Horse", Xu Beihong uses unrestrained ink to outline the horse's head, neck, chest, legs and other major turning points, and sweeps out the mane and tail with a dry brush, so that the changes of shade and dryness are natural. That's exactly what he's used to.

In the painting, the straight lines of the horse's legs are thin and powerful, like steel knives, penetrating the back of the paper, while the curves of the abdomen, hips and mane tail are very elastic and dynamic. On the whole, the picture has a strong sense of perspective, and the legs stretched forward and the horse's head have a strong impact, as if they are about to break through the picture and gallop head-on.

Nodding silently, Li Yi moved his gaze to an oil painting next to him. In fact, Xu Beihong's works, whether they are oil paintings, Chinese paintings, or drawings, are relatively rare collections in the collecting world, especially his horse paintings, which are the most popular among the hot.

But for Li Yi now, his focus is not on this. Moreover, from the perspective of learning, he has not even mastered ink and landscape painting now, and most of the time he will not have much energy to involve animals in the future, but as an appreciation, it does not mean much to him, so he is not very interested.

Of course, if he can pick up the leaks, he won't miss them. However, the more modern the painter, the less chance he has to pick up the leaks, which is what makes him helpless.

After appreciating Xu Beihong's work, Li Yi shifted his attention to a five-character poem on a vertical scroll next to him. This is a work of ink on silk, the inscription is Zhang Ruitu, there are two seals of Zhang Ruitu and the main Taoist of Baihao'an, in addition, there is a seal that is blurred, it can only be seen that it is four characters, the last two words are "Taoist", but the first two are not clear in any case.

"What Taoist? Four words...... Could it be that this is a collector's seal? ”

Li Yi touched his chin and groaned for a while, deciding not to ponder it anymore and take a look at the other characteristics first.

In fact, works like this, which have been handed down for hundreds of years, but there are almost no collections of seals, are generally works that are difficult to distinguish between authenticity and falsehood. If it is a famous work, and there is no record in the relevant classics, then, if you want to distinguish the authenticity, you can only make an article from the paper and handwriting, which is more risky, so the auction price is often not too high, but it is also the easiest to pick up the work.

Zhang Ruitu is not an unknown person, this guy is one of the four great calligraphers of the Ming Dynasty on the same level as Dong Qichang, Xing Dong, and Mi Wanzhong. Moreover, because his style of writing is very different from that of Xing, Mi, and Dong, and belongs to the soft and charming style of Zhong Xuan and Wang Xizhi that was popular at the time, so even if it cannot be said to be above the other three, especially Dong Qichang, his name is really not small.

Moreover, he is also a painter par excellence, such a person, his work will lack a collection of seals?

"When I came to the north of the mountain in the evening, the picture should not be. The village road is floating with yellow leaves, and the people are wet and green. When the clouds are seen, the monk returns to the water's edge. A song who crosses, the white bird flies. ”

Li Yi checked the Internet and found that this is a quatrain by the famous poet Lin Kui of the Northern Song Dynasty, and Zhang Ruitu is from the Ming Dynasty, and the master of Baihao'an is also one of his numbers.

Judging from the handwriting, Zhang Ruitu's style is quite similar to the strange and stubborn style founded by Huang Daozhou, Wang Duo, and Fu Shan, which is specifically manifested in the hard and indulgent brushwork, the clumsy and wild monsters, the layout of the canine teeth are staggered, and the momentum is vertical and horizontal, which together constitute a strong sense of force and turbulent momentum, so it has been praised as "strange and unrestrained like a dragon moving a snake, without a little dust".

And this calligraphy, if you look closely, is indeed a strange penmanship, steep and sharp, vivid and strange, and Zhang Ruitu's style is very close, but whether it is his work or not, it is really difficult to make a judgment.

Li Yi checked the silk paper again, and there were seven or eight points in his heart that this was a genuine painting, but the final judgment was still to be handed over to the spirit identification card.

A cool air flowed through, and in the appraisal results of the spirit identification card, two names unexpectedly appeared, Zhang Ruitu and Wang Duo!

This is actually a calligraphy co-created by Zhang Ruitu and Wang Duo!

Li Yi's mind quickly passed over Wang Duo's information. First of all, both of them were famous calligraphers in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, Zhang Ruitu was 20 years older than Wang Duo, but he died only 8 years earlier than him, and definitely belonged to the calligraphers of the same era.

Moreover, from the point of view of fame, Zhang Ruitu and Dong Qichang are jointly called "South Zhang and North Dong", and Wang Duo and Dong Qichang are jointly called "South Dong and North Wang".

In addition, judging from the style of writing, although the two are different, if they deliberately imitate each other, it is indeed not easy for people to see the difference.

The most important thing is that Wang Duo once called an immortal Taoist, and this is exactly the right number with the unclear seal!

"How can these two guys have such a good relationship? It seems that when you go back, you have to check the information carefully, this kind of work of two people working together is much more valuable than writing it alone. ”

While pondering, Li Yi leaned over to observe the seal carefully, because he had the answer in his heart, he could faintly see that the two words in front of him seemed to have the outline of the word "crazy immortal......

It's just that as a calligrapher whose calligraphy has entered the house, and can even be called "home", he didn't even see that this was a joint work of the two of them when he was suspicious.

In an instant, he decided that he must bring this calligraphy back to China, as for who he wants to show it, can you control it?

Looking back at Luo Guofu and the two of them still whispering on the side, Li Yi took out a magnifying glass from his pocket and leaned closer to take a closer look.

"When I come to the north of the mountain in the evening, the picture should not be ...... I'm rubbing, these two guys are so obscene, there are only ten words in total, and they have been exchanged three times, what is the difference between this and hand-to-hand combat? ”

It's not that Li Yi hasn't seen the two collaborate on works, but he paints more. It's just that this kind of collaborative work is generally a part of it by one person, and there is absolutely no such thing as this calligraphy, where five words in a sentence have to be written instead.

Could it be that he guessed wrong, these two people actually don't have a good relationship, so they use this way to fight each other?

It's possible, this can also explain why there is not even a collection of seals on the calligraphy and painting, I think the two of them want to win and are afraid of losing, and there is no meaning to be judged by others, so after writing, the words are hidden......

Isn't that right? If so, wouldn't it be better for them to write their own styles? How could it be like now, if you don't get a hint, you can't tell that this is a different handiwork of two people!

Li Yi scratched his scalp in confusion, he really didn't understand it...... (To be continued.) )
