Chapter 682: Bargaining Master
Yan Zhenqing's hand-me-down works are quite a lot, but most of them are steles, and the ink that has been handed down directly is only about a few articles such as "Farewell Post", "Manuscript of Sacrifice to Nephew Ji Ming", "Liu Zhong's Envoy Post", "Huzhou Post" and so on.

It stands to reason that Yan Zhenqing's ink should not appear in such a shop, but Li Yi has encountered too many unreasonable things, and there are dozens of seals on this calligraphy, which has to make him suspect that this is likely to be a genuine handwriting.
"Cai Xiang, Mi Fu, Dong Qichang, Jia Rudao, Han Fengxi, Prince Gong, Qianlong preview...... Hehe, it's really going to do everything! ”
Li Yi first briefly looked at the contents of the copybook, and then focused his attention on these collection seals. And when he recognized that these seals contained so many celebrities, he knew that this calligraphy was definitely not true.
Making this judgment is definitely not that he really sees that these seals are suspected of counterfeiting, in fact, if you don't compare them carefully, it is difficult to find out the problem from the seals. The basis for his inferences was mainly based on the owners of these seals.
Under normal circumstances, such as Cai Xiang, Mi Fu, Dong Qichang, these calligraphy everyone, their collection of things, many will not simply stamp a collection appreciation chapter on the end, they are often keen to add inscriptions to these collections, the more famous the works they will be, not to mention that this is still Yan Zhenqing's ink, how can there be a reason to let go easily?
Another, such an orderly work, will certainly be recorded in some relevant bibliographic literature, but in the impression of interests, there is never a memory of this post.
This is not to say that Li Yi is sure that the bibliographies he has read contain everything and remember everything, but if something like this handled by countless celebrities is not recorded in some famous large-scale bibliographic documents, even if it is recorded in some pheasant literature, it cannot be explained that its authenticity, on the contrary, those fakes are very likely to be based on those documents.
Let's talk about the problem of memory, not to mention that Li Yi's memory has increased dramatically now, and he can almost forget it, even if he really forgets it, he will never forget such an important work.
In his opinion, the biggest problem with this calligraphy is that it is too greedy, if its seal can be less, celebrities can be less, with the skill of this character and the level of old, it is really possible to make a picture of Yan Zhenqing's authentic handwriting that is indistinguishable from falsehood.
In this way, even if it will cause huge controversy, the controversy itself means that some people will approve it, and when the time comes, it will only need to be sold to those who approve it.
Fingertips gently rubbed over the work, Li Yi was very surprised to find that such a fake was actually cool, and couldn't help but look curiously at the identification conclusion drawn by the spirit identification card.
"I'll go! This Nima is simply a snake to add to the painting, and he is tireless in teaching! ”
The appraisal results of the spirit card made Li Yi cry and laugh for a while, because this work is actually the authentic work of Tan Yanmin, who is known as the "master of modern Yanshu"!
Tan Yanmin is a famous politician and calligrapher during the Republic of China, and his life experience can be called legendary, not only with Chen Sanli and Tan Sitong called "the three sons of Huxiang", and Chen Sanli, Xu Renzhu, Tao Jucun and called the "four sons of the Restoration", but also served as the overseer of Liangguang, the overseer of Hunan, the governor and commander-in-chief of the Hunan army, the chairman of the Nanjing National Government, the president of the Executive Yuan, etc., and was awarded the rank of general, generalissimo.
What's even more amazing is that he is actually the founder of the group of Hunan cuisine, known as the "source of Hunan cuisine"!
Moreover, at that time, Sun Yat-sen intended to introduce Song Meiling to him as a continuation, but he was not only rejected by this guy, but in the end, he actually became the introducer of ****** and Song Meiling's marriage!
Tan Yanmin is extremely talented, and according to legend, when he participated in the Qing court scientific examination, he was almost selected as the champion. However, just when Cixi Lafayette was about to circle his name, he found that he was both from Hunan and surnamed Tan, and immediately remembered the Hunan "chaotic minister and thief" Tan Sitong who she hated the most, so she changed the other candidate, and Tan Yanmin was demoted to the 35th Jinshi of the second class.
In addition to these anecdotes, Tan Yanmin's own achievements in calligraphy are also very impressive, and he has been known as "the Republic of China so far, there is no one else who learns Yan", and his imitation of Yan's regular script is considered to be a real work!
However, it was such a work that was actually used to forge Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy, and Li Yi didn't know what to say for a while.
However, since it was confirmed that this was Tan Yanmin's ink, Li Yi was a little interested in studying it. Therefore, while listening to Tan Moxuan and the boss bargaining, he slowly copied this calligraphy on the table with his fingers, which can be regarded as self-satisfaction.
"That's 2.72 million! If you have to tell me more about this price, I won't sell this painting! ”
Just when Li Yi was gradually immersed in the pleasure of copying, suddenly, a price caught his attention, 2.72 million?
I'll go! The price was 16 million, which was only a little bigger, and it was actually killed all the way to 2.72 million! Although Zhou Chen's works are normally a little higher than this price, they ......
There was a burst of sadness in his heart, nnd, if it were according to this ratio, there would not be a single one of his previous transactions who did not suffer losses, and besides, the ones he ate were not small losses, they belonged to the kind of big losses that died of losses and lost home!
"Okay, maybe this boss is also a rammer, and he has the essence of the sky-high asking price......"
Li Yi could only comfort himself like this, and silently prayed that the bosses he met before were more conscientious and did not inflate the price to such an extent. As for the question of what kind of price he would be able to accept in the end if this work were replaced by him, he didn't dare to think about it anymore.
"Sir, are you still interested in this work? If you're interested, let's make friends cheaper? ”
The boss is a powerful person who sees and listens to all directions, and here he is skillful and undisciplined in arguing with Tan Moxuan, and on the other hand, he has long noticed Li Yi's expression and actions, so he naturally knows that he is actually very interested in this post.
"Oh? Cheaper? How much? ”
exchanged a look with Tan Moxuan, indicating that Zhou Chen's work was almost there, Li Yi turned to face the boss, showing an interested look.
"80 million!"
"Poof", Li Yi almost sprayed on the spot, although Yan Zhenqing's works are definitely worth a lot, but you don't look at what kind of occasion this is, what kind of environment is this, you actually opened your mouth is 80 million, why don't you compare with "Pillar Inscription" and directly shout 200 million?
"This is a family heirloom from the boss?"
"It's not."
"Not? Then I really didn't see it, boss, you're still a hidden billionaire! The price of this word is not cheap, right? But I'm more curious about who would have transferred such a piece of work to you......"
The boss is worthy of being a master of battle, as if he didn't hear the mockery that was almost overflowing in Li Yi's words, and still said seriously:
"This word was received by my old man more than 40 years ago from an old scholar who was beaten into a **** and locked up a cow cage, and it didn't cost much at that time. Why, a genuine painting of Yan Zhenqing, you are still too expensive at this price? ”
Li Yi shook his head with a smile, he found that compared to this one, his face was simply the difference between a gable and a city wall...... No, this analogy doesn't seem appropriate, because to say so, it's as if he's pretty thick-skinned......
"100,000!"
Now it's the boss's turn to spray, Lao Tzu shouted 80 million, and you actually bargained for 100,000? 100,000 is not enough for me to engrave a seal, which is unbearable for uncles and aunts!
"100,000 is not enough...... 1 million, nothing to talk about below this price! ”
The boss was almost taken to the ditch by Li Yi, but fortunately, he reined in the precipice in time, and opened his mouth viciously to give a reliable price.
"This is the work of Tan Yanmin of the Republic of China, you can watch and talk to him."
The market price of Tan Yanmin's works is not very high, such as a large-character couplet, which is the most sought-after calligraphy collection, and one is only about 200,000 yuan. As for other calligraphy works, the price is even lower, and it is often only a good one that can be collected for only 10,000 or 80,000 yuan. This is completely inconsistent with his calligraphy artistic attainments, life experience, social influence, etc., but the collection market is like this, it can be said that there are no collectors to seek after the calligrapher and painter, it is super pitiful.
"Tan Yanmin? If it's Tan Yanmin's work, your price is still high! ”
Tan Moxuan muttered and repeated Tan Yanmin's name, then turned his head and complained in a low voice, the voice was just small enough for the boss to hear.
"I'm rubbing! You can even recognize this! ”
When the boss heard that Li Yi actually recognized whose work it was, he couldn't help but be taken aback, but he didn't show it at all on the outside, and his only reaction was that his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he had touched a cat of prey.
"Boss, don't look at me as bargaining with you, but in fact, this is the boss."
Tan Moxuan pointed at Li Yi, and then said:
"The boss of the 2.72 million just now has already nodded, in fact, I mean 2.68 million, as for this one...... Forget it, since the boss has shouted out, I won't press it down, two works together, 2.82 million, and then give a fraction, 2.8 million, what do you think? ”
"Poof!"
Now the boss is really spraying, your sister, is it in vain that Lao Tzu just said that he didn't bargain for 1 million? Even if it's in vain, but you don't bargain on the one hand, and on the other hand, you go to a fraction of 20,000, are the fractions of your family in 10,000 units?
"Okay, okay, can I make it if I'm afraid of you? Whether it's 2.82 million or 2.8 million, I'm not selling! I'm not selling either of these works! (To be continued.) )
