Chapter 409: Cattle Man

Ask for subscriptions, ask for monthly passes, ask for recommendations! Ay! I haven't recommended it for a month, I'm really convinced, it's all up to everyone!

*************

At present, there are many people engaged in artistic creation in China, and the people who bear the name of masters of arts and crafts are even more into the carp that crosses the river.

But many of these so-called masters of arts and crafts are self-appointed, or they are hyped up with money, or they are touted by each other in a small circle.

And those real masters of craftsmanship can finally rise to the level of artists, and they are also really recognized by the state, in fact, there are not many.

And the Li Jian that Uncle Fang said in his mouth can definitely be regarded as one of them.

This is the number of people who receive special state allowances, and how many people in China can receive special state allowances now?

In addition to the scientists of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, how many can there be? I'm afraid that he can count the pulls, especially in the field of artistic creation, and the artistic creation he is engaged in is not the field of singing red songs, but the field of handicrafts.

In such a field that was regarded as a lowly nationality in the past, he can achieve national-level achievements and be recognized by the state, such a person is definitely a real open-door sect grandmaster-level bull.

Jin Muchen had heard before that there were so many masters of arts and crafts in China who could obtain the title at the national level, but after all, there were many fields, and he was not very familiar with them, but he never thought that today in the United States, he actually received two works of contemporary arts and crafts masters.

This is special, but I really have to thank the eighteen generations of ancestors in the field!

If it weren't for him, such a baby. I don't even think about it.

Take Master Li Jian. Today's status in the domestic arts and crafts industry. If you want to go to someone to buy a work, even if you take out 10 million to shoot it in front of them, they won't clip your eyelids.

Such a person is equivalent to a great artist who has achieved fame in the past, such as Zhang Daqian, a famous artist such as Qi Baishi, if you want to come to the door to ask for a painting, the silver is not enough. If you don't have enough identity, people won't pay attention to you at all.

Come to think of it, people's works are now presented as national gifts to heads of state when they visit abroad, and are collected by institutions such as the country's highest museums and the Great Hall of the People.

Can people still look at your little money?

As long as people are willing, I don't know how many billionaires are willing to hold the money. Go up to people and ask for it!

"The works of a master of his level can only be said to have huge room for appreciation in the market. After all, the master is now very old. The works produced are becoming scarcer and scarcer, and because the pit of this inkstone has been blocked, the ore resources are also very scarce. So the scarcity of his works can be imagined, in the early years I remember that there was an auction in China, which was dedicated to the four treasures of the study, when the works of Master Li Jian were auctioned, and finally the inkstone he made himself was bought by a wealthy man in eastern Guangdong at a high price of 33 million, and the picture of the inkstone, I have seen, it is not as good as the two parties in your hand......"

Uncle Fang said lightly to Jin Muchen, and at this time, Jin Muchen was already dumbfounded, he who claimed to be well-informed, had not been shocked like this for a long time.

In this way, it seems that this Tanaka is really giving himself a generous gift, so should I ask him about it, where is his family's ancestral grave?

If you have the opportunity to visit Japan in the future, why don't you thank his 18th generation ancestors?

This is really unexpected, originally thought to pick up a dozen square inkstone, I thought it was already a big bargain, how to think of these dozen square inkstone, not only one side, Taizong gave the Japanese national gift, and two parties are actually masterpieces of contemporary arts and crafts masters?

This luck can no longer be described as good enough to burst, and it is almost the same if it is used against the sky!

At this time, Jin Muchen didn't know how to describe his feelings at this time.

He turned his head to look at Candace, it seemed that this time he not only wanted to thank the eighteen ancestors in the field, but also to thank the little goblin in front of him.

It's really not in vain that I love her, I bought her millions of jewelry, and this chick gave herself such a generous gift in a blink of an eye, huh?

If it weren't for her whim who led her to the second-hand market in Little Havana, how could she have picked up such a big leak?

Looking at Candace's equally excited and somewhat reddened eyes, Jin Muchen knew that tonight, he would inevitably have to have a long talk with her for another night.

"Do you have to put away these inkstones? Especially these three pieces, needless to say, the piece of national gift, this inkstone is incredible, because of his special historical significance, and because it is from the hands of Master Li Jian. Needless to say, the works of Master Li Jian of the other two parties, as for the other ten-square inkstones, you can't be so-so......"

Uncle Fang was still chattering on the side, but Jin Muchen immediately thought of another question.

"Uncle Fang, since this Master Li Jian is so famous, how can his works fall into the hands of the Japanese?"

"Is this likely to be related to the Canton Fair that year? You also know that many people in China did not realize the importance of this inkstone, so at the beginning of the establishment of the Canton Fair, this thing was sold as a high-end handicraft. This continued until 1998, when the Duanyan pit was closed. The Canton Fair was founded in the fifties of the last century, when in order to earn foreign exchange for exports, the works of many top craftsmen were undervalued and sold. At that time, Master Li Jian worked in the inkstone pit in the early days, and later entered the Zhao@Qing Arts and Crafts Factory, and because his father had studied at the Central Military Academy of KMT, his identity as a master of crafts had not been recognized until the change, so his early works were not a big deal to appear at the Canton Fair. In fact, when I watched his interview before, I heard him mention, these two inkstones were his proud works of the year, one side was called "Peace Post", and the other side was called "Three Dragons", which were created when he worked in Zhao@Qing Arts and Crafts Factory, and was later sold to Japanese merchants at the Canton Fair by the factory, when one party bought more than 1,000 yuan, he was quite happy to hear the price, but later after his identity was determined, after the rise of the inkstone, he also regretted it...... You were lucky to be picked up by your kid this time! ”

After Uncle Fang finished speaking, Jin Muchen was completely stunned this time, it seems that his luck is really not an ordinary rebellion, such a treasure who is wandering overseas can be touched by himself, how can this be described as ordinary luck?

Uncle Fang shook his head and sighed in their room for a long time, and finally simply wrapped up the dozen or so inkstones and took them back to his room on the grounds that he was not worried about Jin Muchen's rudeness.

Jin Muchen looked at the figure of the old man, and could only smile and shake his head, it seems that this old man is unlikely to sleep tonight.

Seeing Fang Bo go out of the room, and when he turned around, he just saw Candace's blue eyes that seemed to be watery, and Jin Muchen's heart fluttered.

"Now how are you going to thank me?"

Candace had a smile like a little fox on his face, and asked Jin Muchen to arrive, Jin Muchen took her hand and came to the sofa to sit down.

"Hey, isn't that much jewelry enough? Why don't you go back and choose a few pieces from those jade objects! ”

"Even if you have a conscience, it's pretty much the same."

Candace wrinkled his little nose and snorted, while Jin Muchen could only wipe a handful of sweat on his forehead, woman, she really can't do without those little stones.

The next morning, when I got up again, it was already more than ten o'clock in the morning, although the antique jewelry exhibition in the convention and exhibition center was still going on today, but Jin Muchen and his party had no intention of going to visit again.

The trip of the three of them to Miami this time is already a bumper harvest trip, and it doesn't make much sense to go to the antique jewelry exhibition again, and besides, going to that trip yesterday has already made Jin Muchen unhappy, what are you going to do today? Do you slaughter others?

The three of them went downstairs, had a brunch, then left the room, filled up the car, and headed north to New York.

As when she came, she drove for nearly twenty hours before returning to New York City, and Candace was ready to rest when she got home, after all, she had been very nervous about her schoolwork lately, and she had been to Miami for a while, and it was time to come back to take care of herself.

As for Uncle Fang, he put all his spirit on the study of those Shang and Zhou ancient jades, and as for those Duan Yan, he even more wanted to take them out and play with them every day when he had kung fu.

If it weren't for the lack of good pen and ink at home, the old man would be even more eager to splash ink and write thousands of words every day.

As for Jin Muchen, he quickly returned to the state of a happy otaku, sleeping until he woke up naturally every day, going downstairs to see the business during the day, and if there was no one, he went to the new building that was being renovated behind him to give some advice.

The progress of the construction of the latter building is very fast, because he gave enough silver, and there was a cooperation before, so the construction team found by Venn is more reliable, and it has only been more than half a month, and the construction progress has been completed by nearly a quarter.

This kind of speed is a miracle for the old American construction team that has always liked to procrastinate and grind foreign workers.

And the reason why they are so diligent this time is completely because Jin Muchen asked Wayne to promise them a bonus of 100,000 US dollars before completing it a month early.

This amount of money is like plucking the hair of Jin Muchen, but for these big bosses, it is terrible, so these guys are throwing off their arms and working every day, if it weren't for the government's ban on noisy renovation work at night, they would be eager to work overtime and all night for you......
