Wang Xiao was very familiar with the tenants of this antique city, and he was joking with Lao Liu with a smile.

"Manager Wang, you also tell me, I'm afraid your boss will be there in a while, right?"

Lao Liu will not be embarrassed for Han Chong in the antique city just now, other people's private museums have been opened, and he can't compare at all, so let's honestly save an appraisal fee.

However, Lao Liu is not a fuel-efficient lamp, if you want him to be convinced, then Han Chong still needs to show some real skills, at least the painting he brought over for appraisal today is relatively rare.

Wang Xiao's office is more modern, with a glass coffee table, a large desk, not very suitable for the identification of objects, the moment called a few security guards, from the first floor of the wood crafts area, moved an antique imitation red sandalwood long table, moved the large desk, placed in the middle of the room.

"Lao Liu, your old boy is really fast......"

"Old Yu, you're not slow, what kind of object are you holding in your hand?"

"I said, how many of you brothers have arrived?"

As he spoke, the people who had just been diverted out of the antique city gathered together again, not only the office was full of people, but even the corridor outside the door was crowded with collectors who had come to appraise.

And this number is much higher than the person who left just now, these days, who doesn't have a few relatives and friends?

Especially those who are engaged in collecting, almost everyone has their own small circle, and the matter of free appraisal by experts has long been spread throughout the antique world of Zhengzhou, but everyone who is in Zhengzhou is holding back their strength to rush here.

"I said everyone be quiet, today I can invite Mr. Han to our antique city as a guest, do you want to express a warm welcome first?"

Wang Xiao found a megaphone out of nowhere and stood at the door of the room. shouted loudly, although there were many people, but the people who entered the room were all well-known people in the Zheng Zhou antique world.

Other Tibetan friends "consciously" lined up in a long line, and there was no way. Unconsciously, the security guard's electric baton immediately pointed over.

"Okay, the welcome ceremony is simpler, I won't delay everyone's time, now there is Teacher Han to start the identification......"

After the applause, Manager Zhang put away the speaker very interestingly, and sat down next to Han Chong, who could watch his appreciation next to the expert, which was also an opportunity to learn and improve.

"Teacher Han. Please take a look at this picture......"

Lao Liu was the first to arrive, naturally he was the first to come up for identification, and at this moment, Lao Liu had already put away the shelf of his own "jade expert", and very respectfully placed the painting in his hand in front of Han Chong.

"Where did you get this object?"

Han Chong had observed the scroll in Lao Liu's hand as early as when he entered the house, and found that it contained an extremely rich aura. It should be the handiwork of modern masters.

"Hehe, I went to the magic capital a few years ago. I didn't know much about landscape painting in exchange for an old friend, so I showed it to Mr. Han to see if it was Mr. Xiao Junxian's authentic work? ”

Lao Liu smiled, he took out this painting, and he bought it for 20,000 yuan. I really want to identify the authenticity, and secondly, I actually use this painting to study the meaning of Han Chong.

Although Xiao Junxian is a famous painter in modern times, his name is not as loud as Zhang Daqian, Xu Beihong and Qi Baishi. Generally people who don't play calligraphy and painting professionally have never even heard of this name.

After Han Chong heard Lao Liu's words, he nodded, there was no expression on his face, but he laughed in his heart, Han Chong knew his own shortcomings, that is, he knew less about the inheritance and origin of physical objects, so he thought of a stupid way, and memorized the resumes and artistic styles of many celebrities in ancient and modern times.

Combined with his ability to distinguish between his eyes and his understanding of ancient and modern artists, Han Chong is now definitely worthy of the title of "expert".

Han Chong still has an impression of Xiao Junxian, and there is no need to open this scroll, Han Chong has already decided in his heart that this painting should be Xiao Junxian's authentic handiwork.

Because although Xiao Junxian is a native of Nanhu, he lived in the magic capital in his later years, and made a living by selling paintings, the painting that Lao Liu got has already explained part of the problem.

After putting on the gloves, Han Chong slowly rolled one shaft rod and spread the painting on the table.

This is a typical Chinese ink landscape painting, the painting style is very elegant, far and near are distinct, in the layer by layer to the distant view, it expresses a very high realm, showing the author's extraordinary painting skills.

"Teacher Han, Teacher Han, what do you think of this painting?"

It doesn't matter if Han Chong's appraisal takes a little longer, but there are still hundreds of people waiting outside the door for appraisal, Manager Wang couldn't help but whisper a few words to Han Chong, asking him to make a comment quickly.

Han Chong was originally immersed in this landscape abroad, but was suddenly interrupted by Wang Xiao, raised his head, and said a little dazedly: "Ah? Yes, yes, it's Xiao Junxian's real handiwork......"

It's just that Han Chong's words are a little unconvincing, this antique is not only fake to point out the problem, it is true, you also have to say his style and characteristics, of course, more people here are concerned about its price.

So as soon as Han Chong's words came out, Lao Liu and some experts showed a trace of disappointment and contempt on their faces, and now no one confronted Han Chong, isn't it true or false that he said casually?

After the previous Taoyu incident, Lao Liu was not so reckless, and said very politely: "Teacher Han, can you give me a comment?" ”

"Hehe, then I'll just say a few words......"

Han Chong's eyes were still on the painting, and he gently brushed the thick ink and light place with his hand, and said: "Chinese landscape painting is very particular about the outline of light ink and burnt ink.

And this painting is very well represented in the ink, and every stroke is a pen with a place, showing a very solid basic skills.

To put it irreverently, modern masters such as Qi Baishi and Zhang Daqian may not be as profound as Mr. Xiao Junxian in terms of basic skills.

As a modern painter, Mr. Xiao not only comprehended the essence of the ancients' paintings, but also added his own thoughts and creations, and had his own unique artistic style......

When Han Chong said this. It was already quiet below, and only the breathing of the crowd could be heard.

"Personally, I admire Mr. Xiao very much, and many friends may not know that Mr. Xiao Junxian is a very famous calligrapher and painter in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, and Mr. Xiao once gave up his official position to become a teacher. This was the first person at the time.

During Mr. Xiao's time as a teacher, he also created many Chinese painters from the Republic of China period to the early liberation period, such as Chen Shizeng, Lu Fengzi and others, all of whom were students of Mr. Xiao.

This painting is Mr. Xiao's imitation of the five generations of Juran's "Mountain Dwelling Map", it can be said that it is Xiao Junxian's fine painting, very collectible, this old brother, congratulations to you......"

Han Chong's words went from the style of painting to the painter himself. explained in simple terms, clarified the truth, and everyone who listened was fascinated, until Han Chong finished commenting, everyone still did not come back to their senses, and they felt a little unfinished.

After more than a minute, under the leadership of Manager Wang, applause suddenly rang out. It can't be stopped for a long time.

"Isn't Mr. Han an expert in jade? How can you be so proficient in Chinese painting? ”

"You know what, this expert knows everything."

"That's right. Teacher Han's words are so good, I really feel like I have taken a class......"

After the applause stopped, everyone started talking, but the words were very quiet, for fear of disturbing Han Chong.

To say that Han Chong just picked up the leak to prove his eyesight, there is also some element of luck. Then this explanation is an out-and-out revelation of Han Chong's profound theoretical knowledge.

There were many people playing calligraphy and painting present, and many of them still didn't know Xiao Junxian's name, and they heard Han Chong, who was a jade expert. After saying this opinion, all of them are happy and convinced.

"Mr. Han, how much is this painting worth?"

The authenticity has been identified, and the price is naturally the most concerned issue for Lao Liu.

"Mr. Xiao Junxian's paintings have great potential for collection, but the price of modern landscape paintings is not very high, and I estimate that it should be between 40,000 and 60,000 yuan......

Han Chong pondered for a while and gave this price, to be honest, he really wanted to take this painting into his pocket, because there are very few people who paint Chinese landscapes in modern times, and this painting can be said to be a representative painting.

Some friends may say, since it is representative, why is the price so low? This is also based on market demand, didn't Han Chong say it before, the collection potential is very large, and the main reason for the low price now is that no one hypes it.

Do you really think that the paintings of "Zhang Qixu" and others were so valuable from the beginning? It's not that after being branded with many names, they are hyped up and that shines in the art market.

If Han Chong can accept this painting, display it in his museum, and note the name of the first person in modern Chinese landscapes, to ensure the value of this painting, it will immediately be worth a hundred times.

There are people who are familiar with Lao Liu, who knew the origin of his painting, and immediately said: "Lao Liu, congratulations, you only received it a few years ago, right?" Within a few years, the price doubled......"

"Hehe, this is going to be sold, I don't know if anyone will buy it......" Lao Liu said modestly.

"You want to sell?"

Han Chong's heart moved, and he said, "This is Master Liu, right?" I'm collecting modern Chinese art right now, if you want to transfer it, I can make a price, don't you think it's possible? ”

Han Chong's museum is now lacking in modern calligraphy and painting, although Xiao Junxian is not famous, but the painting style is calm and elegant, representing a relatively high artistic standard in the late Qing Dynasty.

"Hehe, Mr. Han, if you like it, just give a price......

Lao Liu himself is a collector who sells it, he plays with jade, and the reason why he collects this painting is to sell it for money, since Han Chong wants to buy it, he naturally has no reason not to sell it.

Han Chong pondered for a while, stretched out his right thumb and index finger, gestured, and said: "Eighty thousand, Master Liu, even if this painting is auctioned, the auction price should not be higher than sixty thousand, I will pay eighty thousand yuan, I don't know what you mean?" ”

"Eighty thousand?!"

Lao Liu was stunned for a moment, he originally thought that Han Chong would offer a price of forty or fifty thousand, but he didn't expect Han Chong to give 4 times his purchase price as soon as he opened his mouth, which made Lao Liu unexpected.

"Master Liu, if you can keep this painting in your hands for another seven or eight years, it should be more than 80,000 yuan, but in the current calligraphy and painting market, the price I offer is already the highest......"

Han Chong saw that Lao Liu was a little hesitant, and hurriedly added a handful of firewood, if this painting came into his hands, it would not take seven or eight years, within two years, Han Chong would definitely be able to hype up its price, and he would not do it if it was a loss-making business.

"Okay, I'll sell it, Manager Wang, let's issue a notarial certificate of sale......

Although Lao Liu didn't know much about calligraphy and painting, and he didn't know the specific price of Xiao Junxian's works, he believed that in front of so many people, Han Chong would not dare to say anything.

This antique business, not to say that if you have an object in your hand, you will definitely be able to sell it, it also depends on the right time and place to sell it at a high price.

Not to mention that Han Chong is busy with appraisal and trading, around Zhengzhou Antique City, there is also an undercurrent, after receiving Han Chong's text message, Deputy Pan Bureau immediately coordinated with the Zhengzhou police, mobilized a large number of plainclothes police, and entered the antique.

Deputy Pan Bureau mobilized people to monitor the antique market, Han Chong naturally didn't know, and Deputy Pan didn't tell him, and in silence, he set up the antique city and the surrounding area.

According to the analysis of Deputy Pan Bureau and others, with the weight of Zhou Wenhai's suspicions, after knowing that Han Chong was in the Antique City, he would definitely come to check it out, maybe they could get Zhou Wenhai's trace here and follow him to the hiding place, so that they would not have to bother Han Chong.

Of course, the conditions that I talked with Han Chong before were naturally not accurate.

Han Chong's mind was not on Zhou Wenhai's body, he was still thinking about how to hype up the "Mountain Residence Map" in his hand.

The speculation of antique prices and the commercial operation model, in fact, there is not much difference, why can 82-year-old Moutai be sold for tens of thousands of yuan a bottle, isn't it the effect of hype?

According to the laws of the market, there is speculation, there must also be coldness, in Han Chong's view, the market for Xiao Junxian's works, is the cold, and it is a big cold.

Just like the painting itself is the quality of Moutai, the potential for appreciation is very large, which is one of the main reasons why Han Chong is willing to pay a price higher than the market to win it.

Moreover, money is no longer the most important thing for Han Chong now, if there are no natural and man-made disasters, his money will only increase, so as long as he can get something, it doesn't matter if Han Chong spends more money
