Chapter 463: Treasure for Treasure

At this time, Han Chong made a decision in his heart, can he exchange these sketches of Picasso for the upcoming auction, or the Chinese collection that exists in the Guimet Museum?

Those precious cultural relics were robbed by the robber ancestors of foreigners, but these works of Picasso, Han Chong is also equivalent to picking them up for nothing, and no one suffers from the tip of the needle.

China's precious cultural relics appear in foreign museums, which have their historical backgrounds, and most of them are donated by the descendants of the Eight-Nation Alliance, which is really a lot.

The Guimet Museum in Paris, France alone has more than 20,000 pieces of Chinese art, including jade from the Neolithic Age, bronzes from the Shang and Zhou dynasties and their horse ornaments, bronze mirrors, ancient coins and lacquerware.

In the field of sculpture, in addition to some large works of Buddhist art, the Guimet Museum also has a collection of the Han and Tang dynasties, and in the field of decoration, it presents a complete historical picture, through more than 10,000 pieces of ceramics, porcelain, celadon and hard porcelain, reflecting the technological innovation of porcelain history. It has to be said that it is worth changing.

In addition, the Jimei Museum also has a collection of more than 1,000 paintings from the Tang Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, and it can be said that except for some porcelain, almost every piece of work there can be rated as a first-class cultural relic after being obtained in China.

As the saying goes, rare things are expensive, and after there are more artworks from China, foreigners don't pay much attention to them. For his own country, it is a treasure.

For example, some of the Chinese Qing Dynasty court paintings and ceramics donated to the Guimet Museum by the French general Frey are stored in the museum's warehouse and have never been exhibited.

China has a 5,000-year-long history and civilization, and due to well-known reasons, about 60 percent of the precious cultural relics have been lost overseas, which is an extremely large number, and the total number should be calculated in millions. This is also historically absolute, and there are many valuable antiques in China.

But foreign artworks are different, in foreign countries, it may take decades or even hundreds of years before a genius artist appears, such as Mozart, Beethoven, Van Gogh, Picasso, and so on.

Although the first two are music masters, they are also inseparable from the category of art, such as Beethoven, whose handwritten staves have been auctioned at sky-high prices. Similarly, the violin used by Mozart is also the target of many collectors.

However, you must know that Mozart used only three or five violins, and Beethoven wrote even fewer original lyrics and songs, even if Picasso was a prolific painter who created more than 60,000 works in his lifetime, but in terms of the number of people in the world, it is really not a huge number.

As the only one in the history of art who was alive. Picasso's fame can be imagined as someone who saw his works in the Louvre's collection, and tens of thousands of works were already in his possession during his lifetime. Very little is circulating in the market anymore.

Therefore, in the international art auction market, it is easy to find some Chinese art, and you can often see it, but you want to meet the works of Picasso Van Gogh and others. But it is extremely difficult, basically there are very few auctions, and there are auctions where their works exist. It often attracts big collectors from all over the world.

This is not to say that Chinese antiques are inferior to foreign artworks, but only in quantity, and there is also a problem of the perception of foreign collectors, because the influence of Picasso and Van Gogh artists is global, and their fame can be heard almost everywhere there are people.

However, due to China's seclusion in the early years, and the style of calligraphy and painting is mostly abstract and freehand, which is not appreciated and accepted by foreigners, some great calligraphers and painters of all dynasties and dynasties are obviously less influential in the world than Leonardo da Vinci and Picasso.

However, turnip greens have their own loves, and in Han Chong's eyes, they are naturally still the things left by their ancestors, so Han Chong had such an idea in his heart, using these works of Picasso in exchange for Chinese cultural relics lost abroad.

Of course, this also shows his patriotism.

"Sister Wenwan, I want to exchange this Picasso painting for a Chinese baby, what do you think of my idea?"

Han Chong told Wen Wan what he thought completely, because he himself did not have any connections in foreign collecting circles, and listening to Bi Yue, Wen Wan has often been involved in major auctions over the years, and has also known many more well-known collectors and museum representatives.

Wen Wan obviously hadn't fully digested what Han Chong said, and sat there thinking for a long time before she spoke: "Han Chong, are you really willing to give up those Picasso works?" You know, it's everyone's dream collection, and its value is not inferior to that of domestic treasures......"

"Dream?"

Han Chong pursed his lips disdainfully, and said: "In my opinion, this is not as good as the treasure left by our ancestors, if anyone can give me a bronze heavy weapon of our ancestors, I will exchange all thirty-two sketches for him, buddies are not good, they are all sketches of old ladies without clothes, the flesh is drooping down, and they are not as good-looking as Oriental women, what is there to dream of......"

"Han Chong, can't you be a tactful? That's all art......"

Bi Yue, who was sitting next to her, couldn't listen to it anymore, and pinched Han Chong angrily, after this woman gets old, her skin will always become saggy, and Bi Yue doesn't want to hear such comments on her in the future.

However, fortunately, Han Chong's description said that he didn't like Western women.

"Hehe, wife, I mean Western women are not good-looking, we Oriental people are beautiful, even if you are old, that is also my sweetheart......"

After coming abroad, Han Chong was in a very relaxed mood, probably influenced by the romantic capital of Paris, and his speech became much bolder, and Bi Yue's face was red when he listened.

"Come on, you two flirt and change places......"

Gently rolled her eyes impatiently, isn't this bullying yourself for being single? However, the fire in Wen Wan's heart was really provoked by Han Chong, and I am afraid that she will also find a foreign hunk to solve it.

"Sister Wenwan, do you think I can do this thing? If not, I'll take all those manuscripts back to China, and who is in a hurry to beg these foreigners......"

Han Chong saw that Wen Wan was impatient, and quickly changed the topic, how should he consider the feelings of a single older young woman.

"It's not impossible to exchange collections with private individuals and museums abroad, but there is a premise. It's your sketches, they have to be real......"

Wen Wan said, the whole person suddenly became excited, and then said: "If it is true, then this deal has been done, and many people will rush to ask for it, if we don't knock the foreigner into smoke, it won't be over......"

Han Chong is actually bartering, and the exchanges with domestic Tibetan friends are similar, but they have risen to the international level. Wen Wan's perception of the value of Picasso's works is much higher than that of Han Chong.

Since Picasso's death, it has been only after three or five years that Picasso's works have occasionally been auctioned, and if all of Han Chong's paintings are genuine, they will definitely set off a huge wave in the international auction market.

"Oh? Wen Wan girl, how to master the degree in the middle? I do not quite understand. ”

Han Chong also knew that the Picasso paintings he owned were absolutely wonderful. It is definitely not possible to exchange Chinese cultural relics for the same value, but Han Chong does not understand the international auction market, and he is afraid that if the price is ruthless, he will scare those people away.

Wen Wan smiled and said, "More than thirty sketches. If it's really all Picasso, hehe, a bronze weight would like to be replaced? Show them about the same, at least 10. No, it's more than a heavy weapon, and they have to beg us to change ......."

"Damn. That's too ruthless, isn't it? Will they change? ”

Han Chong was taken aback by Wen Wan's words, these antiques have a price, such as the bronzes of Xia Shangzhou, national treasures are also extremely expensive in the international auction market, although Picasso's works are rarely on the auction market, but there are still folk circulation, obviously losing transactions, will anyone do it?

"You don't know this, they will think that thing is not valuable, but this Picasso painting is excellent, don't worry, it will, someone will change it!"

Wen Wan nodded affirmatively.

"I don't think the auction house is stupid, it's unlikely."

Wen Wan smiled and said: "I didn't say to find an auction house, the auction house will not change, they pay attention to maximizing profits, but some private individuals who pursue Picasso's works, as well as those museums that have Chinese art, will definitely be willing to change."

Wen Wan said that for those people, the market value of the collection is not the most important, what they value is the fame of the work, and in the hearts of some big collectors, maybe 100 Chinese antiques are not as good as a Picasso work......"

Han Chong didn't get angry when he heard Wen Wan's words, because he knew that Wen Wan was telling the truth, in previous years, the price of Chinese antiques in the international market was not high, that is, the price that had been raised by some international speculators and auction houses in recent years.

However, in the minds of many collectors in Europe and the United States, the value of Chinese antiques is still far from being comparable with the works of Van Gogh Picasso and others, as can be seen from the 10 most expensive paintings ever auctioned, including four works by Picasso, but not a single Chinese ancient painting.

It can be seen that this is greasy.

"Sister Wenwan, I'm going to London in a few days, you have to hurry......"

Han Chong thought about it, and still explained Wen Wan, for this special auction of Chinese art in Paris, it doesn't matter if Han Chong participates or not, but his time is really short, and the things that his grandfather has explained must be done well, and this jewelry exhibition is his main task.

"Han Chong, don't worry, Bi Yue's relationship with me, we are all good friends since childhood, this time I will definitely make those foreigners bleed ......"

Wen Wan was excited when she thought about it, and then said: "Come on, I won't eat your meal, I'll go find someone first, by the way, Han Chong, you have to make sure that thing is true, otherwise I won't be able to get along in the circle abroad in the future, Bi Yue, you can also keep an eye on me, don't pit me......"

In the past few days, there are quite a few people from all over the world who have come to participate in this Paris auction, including some billionaire-level collectors, who are all Wen Wan's sales targets, and Wen Wan also knows that these people's homes have more or less some precious cultural relics from China.

After Wen Wan left, Han Chong immediately called Xu Guang, because after hearing Wen Wan's words, Han Chong also had a feeling of gain and loss in his heart, in case those sketches were stolen, he would want to cry without tears, so it was more appropriate to let Xu Guang's kid keep it.

After waiting for the phone call to end, Han Chong and Bi Yue chatted for a while, and then romantized in the city of Paris, and the whole person was influenced by this environment

There are really too many famous places in Paris, Han Chong accompanied Bi Yue to visit the Place de la Concorde, saw the fountain, went to the Eiffel Tower, and went shopping on the Champs-Γ‰lysΓ©es.

I'm really tired......

"Brother Han, where are you?"

As soon as Han Chong returned to the hotel, he received a gentle phone call.

"I'm in a hotel room."

"What about in the hotel? Well, you get ready, I'll bring a British friend to you, and I'll be there in ...... at once."

"Okay."

"Han Chong, what's wrong?"

After Bi Yue saw Han Chong answer the phone, her face became strange, and she couldn't help but ask.

"It's okay, Wen Wan said that she would bring someone to see those Picasso sketches immediately, Bi Yue, you go into the house and watch TV first, I'll entertain them in the living room......"

Han Chong didn't expect Wen Wan to be so efficient, this Xu Guang Han Chong asked him to bring the sketch over, but he just rushed over.

"Okay, Han Chong, then you have a good talk! Come on. ”

Bi Yue waved her fist at Han Chong very obediently and entered the room, they lived in a luxury suite, and there was a living room outside that could handle official business.

"Wen Wan, you and I have known each other for several years, this kind of thing won't lie to me, right? Can you be sure that it was Picasso's sketch? ”

In a car heading for Han Chong's hotel, an Englishman in a tuxedo, speaking an inaccurate Chinese, was chatting with Wen Wan, and next to him sat a white man in his mid-fifties.

"How could I lie to you, in fact, this thing really sounds a little unbelievable, but it is indeed true, you believe it after seeing it."

"I hope it's true, it's our heyday."
