Chapter 93: Selling Paintings Online

86_86182 Ask for collection, ask for recommendation!

"That's good, we still have something to do, we'll have a date later."

Anxious to go back to New York, Jin Muchen didn't want to waste time here, turned around and took Candace's hand and was just about to leave, when he heard Chen Jianfeng say behind him.

"Mr. Kim, you have to be careful of Watanabe, those people......"

Jin Muchen stopped and turned his head to look at Chen Jianfeng.

"I know, isn't it the Yamaguchi-gumi? But I've heard that their sphere of influence seems to be mainly on the West Coast, and they don't dare to be so arrogant here, right? ”

At this time, Chen Jianfeng looked at Jin Muchen with a worried face and said: "Having said that, but Jin Sheng, you still have to be careful, although their sphere of influence has not expanded to the East Coast, they have many business partners here. For example, Dominicans, and Mexicans, in short, you must be careful. From what I know about Watanabe, when he goes back, he will definitely contact you to get revenge. ”

Hearing Chen Jianfeng say this, Jin Muchen was also worried, how could he forget this stubble.

Although the Japanese are not strong on the East Coast, their business is indeed not small, and it seems that there should be many business partners on the East Coast.

Watanabe can't do anything about themselves themselves, but if they really ask their business partners for help, it seems that they really have to be careful.

Especially now that I am not the student who had nothing before, now I am worth millions and have such a beautiful girlfriend, so I have to cherish this day!

Thinking about his family, Jin Muchen's heart couldn't help but become a little heavy, and his face became solemn.

"Well, I see, you have to be careful."

He said to Chen Jianfeng, Chen Jianfeng was also relieved when he saw Jin Muchen believe his words, he really didn't want Jin Muchen to encounter any danger, especially after a few contacts and found that Jin Muchen was a very good person.

Jin Muchen took Candace out of the hotel, and then drove straight to New York.

In the past few days, it has been snowing heavily in the northeastern part of the United States, and because Christmas is approaching, this road is very difficult to walk, and it was originally a five- or six-hour journey, but it took eight hours to drive from Washington to New York.

However, there is also a benefit to driving not fast, while Jin Muchen chatted with Candace along the way, he also kept an eye on his back from time to time to see if anyone was behind the crane.

Chen Jianfeng said very seriously, Jin Muchen also believed that those Japanese did have that kind of strength, and he was really a little worried about whether the Japanese would find their partners on the East Coast to retaliate against him.

And driving on the highway, in such a blizzard weather, if someone deliberately retaliates, it is very easy to get into trouble.

So he drove very carefully along the way, but along the way, it was okay, and he didn't find any sneaky guys, it seems that the efficiency of the Japanese is not as fast as he imagined, and he is a little worried too much.

When he arrived in New York, Jin Muchen was even more relieved, this is a metropolis with a population of nearly 20 million, and he is a nobody in this city.

Even if the Japanese want to come to New York to take revenge on themselves, it is not so easy to find someone who is not very famous in such a city, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

After sending Candace back to the delicious bakery first, Jin Muchen drove directly back to Fang Bo's antique shop.

Uncle Fang was also very happy to see it back: "How is it?" Good boy, this time, I benefited a lot from going to Washington, right? You called me two days ago and said, how many nice snuff bottles have you collected? Hurry up and show it to me? ”

Uncle Fang has almost been in the antique business all his life, and he has almost no other hobbies, so it can be said that he has dedicated his whole life to the antique business, so two days ago, Jin Muchen called him and said that he had collected a few very good snuff bottles, and Uncle Fang was itching at that time.

If it weren't for Jin Muchen's presence in Washington, he would have taken those snuff bottles a long time ago to take a good look.

Jin Muchen smiled, then closed the door of the store, took Uncle Fang directly to the treasure room downstairs, and then took out the snuff bottles of the Qing Dynasty.

Uncle Fang was fascinated as soon as he got started, not to mention the snuff bottle with the amber Qianlong inscription, the other two black and red snuff bottles, as well as the enamel color snuff bottle, made Fang Bo love it even more.

On these three snuffboxes alone, Fang Bo spent more than an hour.

"Good stuff! It's really a good thing, you kid is really lucky, such a good thing, you actually let you run into it. ”

Uncle Fang played with those snuff bottles and was reluctant to put them down, but the snuff box on the table was a little disdainful.

"This Kangxi snuff bottle with a model is wrong, and the value is higher than these days, after all, it is the ancestor of the snuff bottle. But that refers to the historical and cultural value, if you really talk about the artistic value, it is really not as high as these snuff bottles. Your three snuff bottles in the Qianlong year can be said to have their own characteristics. This amber is not much to say, there is an inscription of Qianlong, and the material is very special, which belongs to the cherished variety. And this black set of red not to mention, there are not a few on the market now, not to mention this enamel color, you look at the painting of this bamboo finch, the enamel color on the glass tire, are absolutely amazing! Oops...... I really wonder, how did you get your luck? These three treasures, take them out, for any collector, even if you get one, I'm afraid it is a blessing to invite heaven, but you guys can collect three at once, or such a low price. It seems that after a while, if you return to China, you will have to give your grandfather a few sticks of incense......"

Uncle Fang was playing with those snuff bottles in his hands, and he was reluctant to put them down, once his old man came across his beloved antiques, his mouth couldn't stop at all.

Jin Muchen sat opposite and smiled, he also felt that his luck was indeed a little good: "Haha, you can rest assured, Uncle Fang, how can you put a few pillars of incense on it?" When I settle down here, after I go back, I will definitely repair my grandfather's yin mansion, tell my grandfather about my experience here, comfort his old man's spirit in the sky, and let his old man know that his craftsmanship has not been lost. ”

Before Jin Muchen's grandfather died, he had always hoped that Jin Muchen could inherit what he had learned, but at that time, because of the opposition of his parents, this also made his grandfather very depressed, and he left with regret until his death.

But everyone didn't expect that Jin Muchen would pick up his grandfather's craftsmanship in the United States by mistake.

"Hmm...... Okay, good...... You kid, you still have a conscience, well, after a day of driving, you're tired, go upstairs early and rest, I'm playing here for a while. ”

Jin Muchen's grandfather is also a teacher and friend to Uncle Fang, thinking of his deceased old friend, Uncle Fang felt a little uncomfortable, Jin Muchen did not continue to stay here to disturb Uncle Fang, turned around and went upstairs, those snuffboxes Uncle Fang had played enough, and naturally locked the safe in the basement.

went upstairs to freshen up, Jin Muchen came to the computer, before going to sleep, he still had to do one thing, that is, to put the Hungarian painter, Cass. An oil painting by Arnoche was auctioned.

Of course, it is not to go to the auction company, but to put it up for auction on e-bay.

There is an art auction area on e-bay, where people often put some small antiques, or oil paintings or something to auction.

With the commercial scale of trading antiques is also getting larger and larger, and the process is becoming more and more auctioned, you can save a lot of time, and you don't have to be exploited by the auction company, so many people specialize in playing low-end antiques on the transaction.

After all, for their collections, which are generally only a few hundred thousands, and the most expensive is hundreds of thousands, large auction companies like Sotheby's or Christie's may not be able to see them, and small and medium-sized auctions are wide.

And these companies don't charge a lot of money, so more collectors and antique dealers like to trade some of them.

Jin Muchen had collected a lot about this Cass before. Arnoche's profile also learned a lot about the price of his works.

The Hungarian painter's work was popular in Europe because of his name as a successor to hyperrealism and his status as a well-known painter in the former Warsaw Pact countries, which made his work popular in Western, Central and Eastern Europe.

Moreover, there are not many of his works in circulation, which has caused a strong market demand, especially for collectors who like the realist style, and they are very fanatical about his works.

The oil painting that Cass painted on his daughter in his hand is not very large, and the age is not certain, and he doesn't know if it is a work from his peak, so Jin Muchen can't judge his price too accurately.

He can only make a rough price range based on some of Cass's paintings currently on the market, and according to his estimates, the price of this painting should be between $80,000 and $100,000.

So he hung the oil painting in the auction area, noted the details of the painting, and a few calendars, and then gave a minimum bid of 80,000 yuan.

The psychological price is written as 100,000 yuan, and the rest is waiting for those who are interested in the painting to bid, if anyone can bid more than 100,000 yuan, then the painting is his.

After finishing this qiē, Jin Muchen went to bed, but before going to bed, he threw the black and gold box into the purple jade space.

He was going to send this box for auction, but before sending it, this box needed to be repaired.
