The next thing to appear is, of course, the ancient Chinese paintings that everyone is looking forward to.

Of course, these ancient Chinese paintings are also from the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and of course, Jin Muchen will not take out those with the highest cultural relics.

For example, Yan Liben's "Emperors of the Past Dynasties", Song Huizong's copy of the famous Tang Dynasty painter Zhang Xuan's "Pounding Practice", and Song Huizong's signed "Five-colored Parrot", as well as the "Ming Emperor's Horse Viewing Picture".

In Jin Muchen's view, these paintings are priceless treasures, and they belong to the most quintessential part of ancient Chinese paintings, even if the value of these paintings is not as high as the Western Impressionist oil paintings that were auctioned before.

But Jin Muchen also does not plan to make a move, after all, as a Chinese, there are always some national complexes, and these paintings of ancient masters are best collected by his own Chinese.

As for other ancient Chinese paintings? It's not impossible to make a move.

After all, the fame, cultural relics value, and historical value of these paintings are not as high as the previous ones, and they can only be regarded as antiques in the general category.

And such antiques, of course, can be taken out and sold, after all, antiques will only have value if they are circulated.

It doesn't make much sense to collect them all, especially for the antiques market and collectors.

None of these paintings are very large in size, and the price is not the top of the range, but it is one of the most popular on the market.

For Chinese collectors. Or for foreign collectors.

For Chinese collectors. Such a painting. The price is not high, and it is a work of their own people, they can appreciate and appreciate the beauty of these paintings, so the significance of cultural relics is greater than the value significance.

For Western collectors, they may not understand the meaning of these paintings, nor can they appreciate the beauty of these paintings, but for them. These paintings have better room to retain and appreciate in value.

And because the price is medium, the size is not large, it is easy to carry, and it is easier to realize.

This is the same reason that low-end houses in the real estate market are far better sold than villas and luxury houses.

So in fact, those rich people who didn't make a move before were waiting for a batch of ancient Chinese paintings to appear.

When Jin Muchen started at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, he didn't just stare at the works of those top famous artists, you must know that in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, there are more than 15,000 ancient Chinese paintings alone.

In addition to about 10% of these masterpieces. Most of the other works were created by some unknown painters of the time.

These paintings are viewed from the perspective of Chinese painting appraisal. In fact, many of them are not considered high-quality products, but they have become antiques because they have been preserved for a long time.

Moreover, such an ancient painting, because it is not a famous work, the auction value is already greatly discounted, so the price is not high.

If you go through the proper way of auctioning, most of them will be in the range of more than 100,000 US dollars to more than 100,000 US dollars.

Such a price is more popular, and of course, it is also the favorite type of antique of the rich people present.

After all, in addition to Chinese collectors, these Western collectors collect such ancient paintings because they value preservation and appreciation.

And those rich people who are not very clean are even more eager for such paintings.

Imagine, if one day they are going to flee because of the East Window incident, are they willing to carry millions of cash with them, or are they willing to bring such a 'check' that is equivalent to a large denomination and can be cashed out at any time?

Moreover, compared with those high-priced oil paintings that can easily cost millions or tens of millions, the realization of such 'small checks' is more convenient, and even if it is realized on the way to escape, the loss will be minimized.

So don't look at the oil paintings in the previous auction, they are all millions or tens of millions of tall paintings, but in fact, these ancient Chinese paintings that will appear next are the highlight of this auction.

A lot of people are already gearing up and can't wait.

And Jin Muchen's original intention of stealing these paintings was to hope that these paintings could be returned to our country as much as possible, so of course he informed Wang Xueming of this auction a long time ago, and told him to bring a few more friends and more banknotes.

After all, although he hopes that all these ancient Chinese paintings can be returned to China as much as possible, it is not easy to make it too obvious.

First, it is impossible for him to donate all these paintings to China anonymously, and he does not have a good habit of being Lei Feng.

Second, it is impossible for him to organize a special auction for only Chinese, after all, his inclination will be too obvious.

Originally, where did the FBI suspect that he was related to this case, if he was so generous to sell these Chinese paintings to the Chinese, then people would definitely suspect that this case may be related to national sentiment.

At that time, as long as the monitoring is adjusted, it will be found out that he is a Chinese who appeared at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston for three consecutive days before the case.

Although those guys may not be able to find all the evidence, they can let you live under their magnifying glass in the future, and that kind of life is not what Jin Muchen wants.

So there is only so much he can do now, and the next thing is Wang Xueming and the 'family and friend group' he brought!

Having said that, this Wang Xueming really trusts him, this time he didn't come alone, and brought more than a dozen 'like-minded' friends with him.

And he actually saw an expert group led by Professor Yang at the scene, if Wang Xueming participated in this auction in a private capacity, then Professor Yang and they must not be surprised to be the representatives of the 'national team'.

After all, there is a lot of noise in this auction, and it is impossible for Professor Yang not to know about it, and as a collection institution that can be called the number one in the country, how can they miss such a good opportunity for the return of cultural relics?

You must know that in the past, Professor Yang and they didn't know how many times they had been to the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and the paintings of our ancestors in it, after everyone read it, in addition to sighing at the painting artistic talents of their ancestors, without exception, the only thing left was heartache.

The paintings of their ancestors are not visible to their own people, but are hung in museums in foreign countries, for those foreign devils who don't even know the meaning of square words, to watch and play casually, which is not a kind of humiliation and grief for them cultural relics workers.

So if there is such an opportunity to get those treasures back this time, they will not miss it, even if everyone knows that these paintings are stolen goods.

Anyway, when these paintings were made out by those foreign devils, they didn't know how to go through formal channels, so let's get them back, and we didn't go through formal channels, so what?

Besides, there are laws in Italy that say that as long as you buy something at auction, it is your legal collection, and you don't care how it was auctioned......

So the 'national team' is here, and this time it has been engraved with a lot of money......

The Tibetan friends below are gearing up one by one, and they have been impatient to wait for a long time, and soon the ancient Chinese paintings will appear.

At that time, when Jin Muchen was at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, he not only stole the masterpieces of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, which he regarded as the treasure of the museum, but also did not let go of the representative works of some slightly famous painters in the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties.

At that time, he had taken nearly 1,000 paintings with him, but the best part of them were collected by himself, and the rest were only some relatively fine paintings left by unknown authors.

Of course, in order not to disappoint everyone, it is also mixed with the representative works of some more famous painters of those eras.

For example, Wu Zhen of the Yuan Dynasty's "Caoting Poetry Intent Volume", Wang Zhenpeng's "Aunt Breeding Buddha Picture Volume" of the Yuan Dynasty, and Wang Yuan's "Taozhu Mandarin Duck Picture" of the Yuan Dynasty.

Qiu Ying's "Bullet Gong Hou Diagram Axis" in the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Fu's "Three Talents and Interesting Pictures" in the Ming Dynasty, Zhao Xuezhe's "Ronghu Lake Picture Scroll" in the Qing Dynasty, Li Xiuyi's "Returning to the Boat and Carrying the Stone Picture Scroll" in the Qing Dynasty and so on.

These painters are not first-class masters in their dynasties, but they are just some medium-famous painters, and their heirloom works are not more than such a one, so the historical and archaeological value of these paintings is not too high, but the antique value is not too low, which just meets the psychological price of those rich people.

The value of these paintings has been roughly estimated by Jin Muchen, and the quality is a little better, and the age is a little older, that is, two or three million dollars, and the worse is about more than one million dollars.

The remaining dozens of paintings are relatively low-end paintings, all of which are the works of some third-rate painters in those dynasties, some painters are not even famous at all, and some paintings are painted by no one at all.

Of course, although these paintings cannot be compared with the first-class people of their time, they are still excellent compared with other paintings of the same era, so the prices are mostly in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, to hundreds of thousands of dollars, and about one million dollars.

As soon as these paintings were released, they attracted the attention of the bidders present.

Everyone sent their own appraisers to the stage to debate the authenticity, although these paintings did not have the top famous paintings that everyone expected, but after all, it was just as Jin Muchen had estimated before.

These paintings are medium in size, old, of high cultural value, easy to carry, and have good realizability, so it is not long before the warm-up of the bidders with different intentions is complete.

As soon as the auction began, it went straight to a state of white heat, and almost every painting caused a scramble, especially the few paintings that could be called famous, and it was a huge hit, and a few million dollars was not a big deal for these people. (To be continued......)
