It has been a long time for Li Yi to get the spirit card, and so far, the spirit card has brought him more than a billion fortunes, it stands to reason that no matter what the result is, he should not be surprised, but this time, he was surprised again. Novelし

Because, the author of the painting given by the spirit card is actually a person he just met two hours ago, Hu Jinquan!

Is the world in chaos? Or did he read it wrong? A famous Chinese painter has nothing to practice oil painting and said in the past, but you always not only imitate Chen Yifei's masterpieces, but also put them here for sale in a grand manner! You...... Aren't you afraid that acquaintances will see the joke?

Li Yi decided to buy it and take it to that old guy another day to see how he explained!

Called the shop guy to ask the price, it was only 3,000 yuan, Li Yi was suddenly messy, if you always knew that your painting had suffered such unfair treatment, it is estimated that you should be silent and crying, right? What a shame that is!

At the moment, the price was not returned, and the man took the painting down and wrapped it, and he continued to look down with a bad taste.

Slowly turned to the wall where there were only two longitudinal scroll ink paintings, and after glancing at the seals, Li Yi realized that it was not that the store had nothing to hang, and it was probably impossible to find works that could be listed with these two paintings, because these two paintings were actually Qi Baishi's works!

Since getting the Tianfeng Waterfall, Li Yiwei has made up for a while about Qi Baishi, knowing that this old man is a prolific painter, and the value of his paintings varies greatly, from hundreds of thousands to hundreds of millions, so he is not surprised that his paintings can appear here, but, are these two real?

After staring at the paintings carefully for a long time, Li Yi had to admit that even if these two paintings were not real, they were definitely made by masters. Because no matter from the layout or the use of the pen, it is a picture of everyone's style.

He first touched the shrimp play picture on the left with his left hand, and a meager cool air flashed away. This one is real. Then, he touched the one on his right. Not surprisingly, this one is an imitation, but the imitation is also on the list of 180 newcomers he obtained.

"Boss, how do you sell these two paintings?"

Seeing that it was a distinguished customer who had just bought a painting and asked for the price, the store guy ran over quickly,

"Sir, these two paintings are not for sale, and we have already contacted Guardian. Ready to be auctioned at their spring auction, if you are interested, you can leave your contact information, and the shop can give you two admission tickets later. ”

Seeing Li Yi shaking his head, the shopkeeper was not disappointed, and said with a smile:

"Sir, if you've finished reading it all here and haven't found a work you're satisfied with, you can go over there and have a look."

Li Yi followed his finger and found the corner of the wall deep in the storefront. There was also a small door open, and I couldn't help but smile, VIP room?

"Most of the works on display here are the works of young painters. The real masters are there, if you are interested, you can find me later. ”

Li Yi nodded, and then looked down, although there are some exercises here, but for him, a guy whose theory is far ahead of practice, it is necessary to take a look.

It took almost an hour for Li Yi to look at the rest of the paintings, and found nothing worth selling. I called out to the guy just now, he wanted to go into the VIP room to see if there was anything good. This apprenticeship hasn't been completed yet.

The VIP room is a long room, almost a dozen square meters. The layout is very simple, a sofa, a coffee table, a half-height safe in the corner, and huge photos of fabric scenery hanging on all four walls.

Li Yi pondered that most of the things were hidden in the safe, but he didn't expect that the guy didn't go there at all, but directly opened the curtain on the wall opposite the sofa, revealing two longitudinal scroll paintings hanging on the wall.

Li Yi was immediately attracted by one of the light blue landscape paintings, which should have adopted a panoramic composition popular in the Northern Song Dynasty, with various scenery advancing in the middle of the high, far-reaching, and flat, carefully arranged and tightly placed. The painter's grasp of the position of the scene is very accurate, and the whole picture appears to be full of weather and concentration.

The whole picture is full of green, cyan, ochre, garcinia cambogia and cinnabar, which is colorful and harmonious with each other, and the brush and ink complement each other, which is definitely a masterpiece of tradition and self-expression.

"How much does this painting cost?"

"This is Lu Yanshao's 1955 work "The Victory of the Country", almost three square feet, the price, you wait a minute, I will call the boss to come over."

Seeing the guy go out to find the boss, Li Yi began to look at the painting next to him again, this is also a landscape painting, but the style is completely different from the work of Lu Yanshao just now, the whole picture is only a little cyan in a place by the lake, and the rest is black and white.

Contrary to the clear lines and clear layout of the painting "The Victory of the Rivers and Mountains", this painting shows a hazy meaning, with distant mountains, near trees, and lonely boats, a vast and desolate feeling.

Seeing that the boss hadn't come over yet, Li Yi touched them with his left hand, the one on the left was indeed Lu Yanshao's "Victory in the Rivers and Mountains", and the one on the right was "Seen in Fuxian Lake" by Li Xiongcai, who was famous for his landscapes in the Lingnan School.

After determining the authenticity of the paintings, Li Yi began to recall Liu Ming's introduction to the prices of these famous works in class.

"For a famous artist, the value of his work is relatively difficult to assess, because you don't know when a certain auction will come to an auction and he will suddenly create a sky-high price for you. However, based on the transaction prices of auctions over the years, I can still give a rough price range, you remember, any price below this price range, as long as it is sure to be a fine product, then do not hesitate to eat! ”

Li Yi remembers that Lu Yanshao's price range is 1.8 million to 2.6 million yuan per square foot, and Li Xiongcai's price range is 80,000 to 130,000 yuan per square foot.

There were two light coughs at the door, and a bald middle-aged man saw Li Yi looking over here, so he walked a few steps quickly and handed over his business card,

"The contemptible surname is Su, the name is less, sir, you still call me Boss Su, I have been scolded for this name."

Li Yi glanced at the business card, then looked at the bald head of this dwarf dun, and smiled bitterly, this really has to be called the boss, otherwise it would be too insulting to Su Shao's tall title.

"Mr. Li, which of these two paintings do you like?"

"Tell me all."

The boss groaned for a moment and said:

"Lu Yanshao's painting costs 5.8 million, and Li Xiongcai's painting costs 820,000."

5.8 million? If you have three square feet, 1.93 million per square foot, which is very close to the lower limit given by Liu Ming! As for Li Xiongcai's one, it is almost twice as high as the highest price, so it seems that there is no need to think about it.

"Boss, are you sure these two paintings are genuine?"

The boss didn't shake his head or nod, and looked at Li Yi with a smile,

"Mr. Li, I see that you are also an insider, how can you ask such a question? I said that both paintings are 100% authentic, would you believe them? ”

Li Yi smiled weirdly,

"I believe it, but I won't pay such a high price."

"Oh, then Mr. Li quoted a price to hear about it?"

Li Yi thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't quote, let's do it as a fake, these two paintings can be worth tens of thousands of yuan, but he is afraid that the boss can directly slaughter him if he reports it, but if he really bargains for several million, wouldn't it prove that he has already decided that this painting is genuine, and can this price still be done?

After thinking about it again and again, he gritted his teeth and pointed to Lu Yanshao and said:

"This one, 2.1 million!"

"Mr. Li, you are not sincere at this price, 5.8 million didn't ask you for a little bit of vanity, I just want to make a friend, let's tell you the truth, these two paintings are inherited in an orderly manner, I dare to pat my chest to ensure that it is true! If you really want to buy it, give me a price. ”

The boss spoke Cantonese and Mandarin, and Li Yi got goosebumps when he heard it, and he shook his head,

"Boss, do you have any other paintings?"

"Of course there are paintings, but it's a pity that you're always too expensive."

The boss took two steps, rolled up the curtain behind the sofa, pointed to a huge work, and said:

"This one, 8 million, are you interested?"

Li Yi took a look, I'll take a look, such a big one? It's not much different from his "Lotus Wind in the Prosperous Age"!

"The representative work of Lingnan Lijia landscape, "Evergreen Ageless Pine", 96 square feet, a huge masterpiece!"

96 square feet, 8 million, different from that small size, this is a quotation close to the lowest price of Li Xiongcai!

Li Yi stepped forward, first carefully looked at the painting, then pretended to check the paper, and gently touched the paper with his left hand, yes, it is indeed the real work of Li Xiongcai!

The three paintings are all genuine, and the price is indeed not high, but Li Yi hesitated, should he believe Liu Ming?

"Boss, this one, and this one, you give me the lowest price, if it's appropriate, I'll take it."

The boss's little eyes blinked and blinked, and after thinking for a while, he said:

"Lu Yanshao's painting gives you 5.6 million, and this one gives you 7.7 million, what do you think?"

"It's too high, tens of millions of business, so much ...... discount"

Li Yi shook his head, took out the phone and turned around and walked out.

"The two paintings are a total of 13 million!"

Li Yi shook the phone at him with a smile, and I will talk after I finish the call.

He walked out of the store and made a phone call directly to Hu Jinquan, and after listening to his description, Hu Jinquan said:

"If you do an investment collection, Li Xiongcai's huge landscape, 80,000 per square foot can definitely be eaten, as for Lu Yanshao's landscape, 2 million square feet will not suffer, at most it is a matter of two more years. But Xiao Li, you must be sure that it is genuine! ”

Li Yi thanked Hu Lao, turned around and walked back to the store, as Hu Lao said, if there is no shortage of capital, investing in these things is definitely more cost-effective than saving money.

"Boss, these three paintings are a total of 12 million!" (To be continued.) )
