Hu Jinquan talked for a long time, and Li Yi was familiar with several names involved. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info but this doesn't have much to do with them, Hu Jinquan also talked about it and gossiped by the way.

This matter was widely spread in the circle, but it was not made public, and the final result was the resignation of a deputy leader of the book association, the withdrawal of the two judges of the competition, and the final first prize upheld the original verdict.

"As long as it's a game, these situations are inevitable, how can there be absolutely fairness? It's just that smart people do their work in their daily lives, you are more famous, your popularity is better, and you do have that level, of course, it is natural to win awards. ”

Zhong Haoqing was a little disapproving, for example, this kind of award is originally subjective, not to mention these young and middle-aged calligraphers, Picasso is enough to be a bull, right? However, even if he went to participate in the competition, he didn't dare to guarantee that there would be no time for him to sink into the sand.

In fact, if the matter of gift-giving had not been revealed and finally confirmed, it is estimated that no one would have said anything if the later one was awarded the first prize.

"Didn't I talk to Xiaoyi? He still has to compete in the future, so he has to pay attention to these things now, otherwise when the time comes, he will be like this guy now, wouldn't it be too wronged? I just thought that he was still a little younger and younger, otherwise, according to his current level, he would have held a solo exhibition. ”

As soon as he heard the master say this about himself, Li Yi hurriedly said a few words of modesty, and by the way, he talked about going to participate in Shi Chongxuan's painting exhibition in two days, Zhong Haoqing nodded and agreed:

"If you want to mix in a circle, the necessary communication is inevitable, and life is not about playing a single game, not that you will be recognized if you have a high level. In fact, I want you to take out these ancient paintings for the same reason, and the identification of this circle also requires qualifications and the right to speak. ”

Li Yi nodded, Zhong Haoqing was not wrong, in fact, in the appraisal circle, the role of authority is sometimes more important. After all, not every artifact is undisputed, on the contrary, there are many more controversial things.

For the same cultural relic, if he is allowed to identify it at the same time with a well-known old-timer in the appraisal industry, the appraisal results are the same, and it is good to say, if there is a disagreement, will others listen to him or listen to the old-timer? The result is obvious, not to mention the reason that there is no way to get the spirit card at all, even if he comes up with more real evidence, he may not be able to win!

Without him, others have proved their strength and proved that they have that level with countless examples, and this is the right to speak.

If he plans to make a fortune all the time, then of course he doesn't have to worry about that. However, with the collection of more and more cultural relics, the issue of voice is becoming more and more inevitable, especially after the establishment of private museums, these things will become the target of public criticism, and the more precious the more likely it is to provoke people's eyes.

Therefore, many things seem very simple, but when it comes to implementation, there will still be a lot of resistance, just like a popular movie, there will still be people who will scold you for blood, useless.

However, there is still a market test for such a thing as a film, and it is not that some people say that it will not work, but what about identification? This thing is so professional, too small, that sometimes, a so-called expert can beat you to death, and even if you can't, you can be disgusted to death.

Li Yi didn't care about this aspect before, but not caring doesn't mean he doesn't know. Especially in his hands, there are indeed a lot of possibilities, no, it is a treasure that will definitely cause controversy, unless he doesn't want to justify these treasures, otherwise he really has to have a certain right to speak.

This is true for identification, as well as for calligraphy and painting.

He had worked so hard to collect a lot of treasures, and even if he didn't use them for profit, he definitely didn't want their value to be devalued by others at will. Similarly, those who have worked hard all their lives to practice calligraphy and painting, who is willing to end up with such a sad and helpless self-humility in the end?

Man is a member of society, and when life is no longer a stress, he will have other demands.

Li Yi is the same.

When the accumulation reaches a certain level, the single-player game can no longer meet the needs of the gamer. At this time, he will desperately want to have a stage, to show the equipment he has, to show the skills he has worked so hard, this is really too human.

"Okay, Xiaoyi, go back first, I'll tell you when we discuss the other things, you have to think more about yourself, sometimes, you can't make a fortune by counting on a muffled voice!"

As soon as he came out of the master's house, Li Yi called Tan Moxuan, and after the two made an appointment to meet in his villa, Li Yi made an appointment with Zheng Shusen to have dinner together in the evening.

Tan Moxuan arrived at Yanyuan at about the same time as Li Yi, although the two have met less during this period of time, they have a lot of contact, so there is nothing to greet, just sit down and go straight to the topic.

"I'm not very good at Western oil paintings, but if Monet's 'Water Lilies' can only be estimated at $35 million, it's a bit difficult to get what you mentioned."

Li Yi smiled, why are you looking for you if it's not difficult?

"However, just because it's difficult doesn't mean it's not feasible, especially for some scarce resources. There are two types of scarce resources, one is that individuals will salivate, and the other is that resources are scarce and people who need resources will also be scarce. The Western oil paintings in your hands belong to the former, and my Chinese cultural relics belong to the latter, which is also the reason why those people are eager for those things in your hands. ”

However, in business, desire does not mean that we are willing to suffer, so we still have to make a good fuss about valuation. Take the acupuncture bronze man as an example, first of all, it is nonsense to equate it with the clinical trial of a new drug, if an antique can be sold like this, then can it still be called an antique? The value of an antique, of course, is related to its production cost, but the most important thing is the historical and cultural value attached to it, and the value judgment in this regard is the most subjective, so to speak, you like it, that is a priceless treasure, if you don't like it, even if it is really priceless, you will abandon it! ”

"So if you want me to do this for you, first of all, you have to give me full authorization. Those things, you have to be very sure of your attitude, which things are guaranteed, which ones are dispensable, which ones are not needed at all, and then the rest is my business. ”

Li Yi glanced at Tan Moxuan in surprise, he really didn't expect that this guy would talk to him like this. However, it seems to make sense, since it is a business, it is necessary to have a business attitude, although his business is a little different.

Acknowledging this, Li Yi began to ponder what things would be guaranteed and which would be dispensable with François.

Two gold coins worth nearly 10 million were excluded first, and that thing, if you want, is nothing more than a matter of how much money you spend, and their significance is far less than that of the other ones.

Similarly, there is Qianlongye's "pure magic spear", to put it bluntly, it is just a rare object that the emperor once played, of course it is best to take it, but it is really not good, and it is not impossible to give up.

But the tiger is different, no matter what else it is, just the feelings it carries are enough to make it a thing to be protected. As for the acupuncture bronze figure, no matter which angle you look at, you should get it back.

"Okay, now I understand, when are you going to go back?"

"There's no need to rush any further, I'd like to wait for Rogov to gather more information. But I need you to come over early, because there are many things you have to get involved in the future, and it is a bit inappropriate to work on Tongruibao's side......"

Next, Li Yi talked to Tan Moxuan about the issue of treatment, and the basic composition is salary plus bonus.

The basic salary he offered to Tan Moxuan was three times that of Tongruibao, and the bonus was linked to the result of the negotiation, and was calculated based on the amount of the transaction.

"Come, Old Tan, show you a few things, if you have the ability to exchange them all for me, I promise, your annual income will definitely exceed 5 million - US dollars!"

"Yo, 5 million, return the dollar? You're betting hard! ”

Tan Moxuan's current income in Tongruibao is only 400,000 or 500,000 soft girl coins a year, which is not comparable to the number promised by Li Yi at all, so I also want to know what Li Yi wants him to see, which can bring him such a high income.

"This one should be Monet's "Water Lilies", this one ......"

Tan Moxuan looked at Cézanne's signature on the "Still Life" with dragons flying and phoenixes dancing, and said with a wry smile:

"I really don't have much research on this thing, so just tell me who this painting is, what price it is, and what level of exchange it is going to be used for."

"Well, this one is Cézanne's Still Life......"

Before the words fell, Tan Moxuan exclaimed,

"Cézanne? The guy who currently holds the title of the world's most expensive artwork? His still life, I think, "Curtains, Jars, Plates", $60 million! ”

"That's right, but that price is already 1999, so the price of the painting should be overestimated. There is also this one, which is Monet's "Sunset" and this is Renoir's "Lunch on a Boat", these two paintings, you should be able to know their value if you look it up on the Internet. As for this one......"

Li Yi said as he cautiously opened the last oil painting, and then, Tan Moxuan's eyes widened, pointing to the picture and stammering:

"Don't tell me, you kid, you robbed the Louvre!" (To be continued.) )
