Sotheby's and Christie's, the two major auction houses in Hong Kong, have been auctioning Ren Bonian's paintings every year since 1986, and in the late 80s, Peninsula Auction House and Concord Antiques Auction Company also joined the auction ranks, but the auctions were smaller.

It can be said that Ren Bonian's paintings will increase in value every year, and the earliest in May 1986, the first auction by Sotheby's "Album of People" reached a high price of 160,000 Hong Kong dollars, ranking at the highest level, and later decreased, but remained at 5-1o Hong Kong dollars.

In 1988, there was another big breakthrough, reaching more than 7o Hong Kong dollars, but the price of the small vertical scroll was lower and not as good as the album.

Of the two larger scrolls auctioned in 199o, one at HK$380,000 and the other at HK$240,000, they were considered relatively high.

In 1991, the price of Zhong Kui rose again, and the vertical scroll of "Zhong Kui" reached 930,000 Hong Kong dollars, which was the higher price of Ren Bonian's works at that time.

Now, although the price of Ren Bonian's paintings has risen a lot, in 2o12, a painting painted by Ren Bonian's "Huazhu Sanduo Tu" was auctioned for 167 million yuan, thus creating a precedent of 100 million yuan for Shanghai-style calligraphy and painting.

But the price of Ren Bonian's lady picture is not high, at least it can't reach hundreds of millions of Cheng dù, so Han Peacock was stunned when he saw that this was Ren Bonian's painting, because he didn't expect that Ren Bonian's painting of the lady was so exquisitely painted.

This painting of ladies began to refer to the ancient methods of the Tang and Song dynasties, mostly using thin iron line drawings and flying clouds and flowing water drawings, and the skirt pattern is more decorative techniques of the Tang people in Dunhuang, with bright colors and fine brushwork.

This style of painting with strong ink and color washed away the weakness of figure painting at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China. Showing a new charm and style, such paintings are completely comparable to modern masters such as Qi Baishi, Xu Beihong, Zhang Daqian, etc., and can be said to be masterpieces.

Although this painting is considered a fine product, compared with Zhang Daqian's lady's picture, the price of Ren Bonian's lady picture is far behind, and the price of Ren Bonian's lady picture fluctuates between one million and three million, generally only three million.

"Fourteen pairs are all pictures of Ren Bonian's ladies?" Han Peacock asked with a frown.

Chen Qian took the scroll from Han Peacock and began to observe his expression, from the beginning of the message. Until now the frown. Chen Qian, who saw it, was terrified, although he could be sure that these were genuine, he was also afraid of accidents.

"The fourteen pairs are all pictures of Ren Bonian's ladies, does Mr. Han think there is a problem?" Chen Qian pretended to be calm.

Han Peacock couldn't figure it out in his heart. But he was able to be sure. There was something wrong with the painting he was looking at. But he couldn't find the problem for a while.

"Can I take a look at the other ladies?" Han Peacock asked.

"Why don't we talk about the price now?" Chen Qian said.

Han Peacock frowned again, but he quickly said, "Yes, if all the ladies have this level." Boss Chen can offer a price directly, and if the price is right, I will ask for it all. ”

"Mr. Han is really exactly the same as the rumors, domineering, you can rest assured, all the paintings are the same, you have also seen this one, the paintings of famous artists in the late Qing Dynasty, his highest painting was sold for nearly 200 million yuan, so the price of these ladies must not be low." Chen Qian said.

"Ren Bonian's lady painting is not top-notch, if it is a figure painting such as Zhong Kui, then the price is high, he is good at painting portraits, as for the lady picture, but there are no very good paintings handed down." Han Peacock belittled Ren Bonian.

Of course, Chen Qian knew very well why Han Peacock said this, so he said: "A famous artist is a famous artist, as long as Mr. Han recognizes that this is Ren Bonian's work, anyway, the market price of his paintings is there, and I can't ask for a price." ”

Han Peacock said: "As long as you have the level of this one, it's fine, you can bid directly." ”

"Five million pairs, Ren Bonian's paintings, are worth the price." Chen Qian said.

After he finished speaking, Han Peacock obviously felt that the four young people behind him were breathing rapidly, it seemed that they were a little unacceptable to this price!

Han Peacock smiled: "If it is Tang Bohu's lady picture, I have nothing to say about five million, but this is Ren Bonian, if I am not mistaken, it seems that there is a problem with the style, if you take it seriously, there seems to be a problem with the mounting, I think, these paintings you have studied for a long time, these problems should not need me to say more." ”

After Han Peacock finished speaking, Chen Qian's face immediately changed: "Mr. Han is worthy of being the most outstanding young appraiser, it is indeed powerful, although my painting is a little wrong, but the quality of the painting is there!" Ordinary people will never be able to draw such a picture of a lady, so even if there is a little fault with what you said, it can't explain anything. ”

Han Peacock said: "Of course I know, the framing is not good, you can re-mount, as long as the kung fu is deep, these small flaws can be corrected, the main thing is the price, five million pairs, this price is not a little sincere!" I don't say that you should also know that this thing may not be sold for a million when it is auctioned. ”

"Mr. Han said this, but you are not sincere, since you don't agree with my price, I don't know how much you can offer?" Chen Qian asked.

Han Peacock said: "At most, 500,000, this kind of flawed lady picture, although it is Ren Bonian, the market value is not high." ”

Although there are too many things that are not valuable, it depends on what it is, like those famous painters who have died, no matter how many of their paintings are, they are not enough for modern people to collect crazily, just like Qi Baishi, Zhang Daqian, etc., they have a lot of paintings, but the price is still so high.

Therefore, as long as the thing is good, the price will never come down, and Han Peacock is now using Ren Bonian's reputation to lower the value of this painting.

Because Han Peacock never thought that Ren Bonian's lady picture would also have a top master-level level.

Therefore, the quality of the painting now is more valuable than the name Ren Bonian, of course, Han Peacock will naturally not sue Chen Qian for this.

It is because the quality of the painting is so good that Han Peacock is a little uneasy in his heart.

But looking at this picture of a hairpin lady, it doesn't look like a greasy look, such a work, unless it is made into a painting, will be profitable.

This is a painting, not a frame, a master's real handiwork. If it is carefully peeled into two layers, it can be sold repeatedly at a high price, and one can be changed into two pieces.

Now this picture of a lady, no matter how Han Peacock looks at it, there is no existing slightest difference, if it is really unveiled, the picture of the lady will not be so clear, so how Han Peacock looks at this painting is a top-notch work.

"Mr. Han is not real! Ren Bonian's figure paintings could be sold for millions twenty or thirty years ago, but now they have increased tenfold. It's still okay to multiply it fivefold. Chen Qian said.

Han Peacock smiled: "If you say so." It's really like that, but you're talking about Zhong Kui painted by Ren Bonian, and the high price is often a big vertical shaft. You should be considered a small vertical shaft, right? ”

"Mr. Han said the real price. We came with sincerity. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to bring all fourteen paintings, if we bought them separately. How can you sell a lot more. Chen Qian said.

Han Peacock shook his head and said: "It is because I can receive fourteen pairs at once that I can get the price of 500,000 yuan, and if it is a single pair, I will pay 300,000 at most."

If this kind of lady picture appears alone, the price of 500,000 is not low, that is, it appears in a set, so that its price can be increased.

Not everything, more is cheaper, like pairs of vases, sets of furniture bowls, these things are more valuable when they are set. ”

Han Peacock said something specious, and Chen Qian just listened to it, and the two of them were arguing with each other, testing each other's hearts.

"500,000 is too little, such a famous painting, do you think we can receive it at a low price?" Chen Qian said.

Han Peacock didn't believe that he could buy these paintings at a high price, this Chen Qian must have encountered a good thing, otherwise he would not have received fourteen paintings at one time, as well as six spring gong bottles.

Of course, if you add the previous Han Peacock's medical strategy of getting the Han family tree and Zhang Zhi of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it will be more revealing.

Thinking of this, Han Peacock's heart moved, could it be that these pictures of ladies are also from the same place?

Thinking of the Han family tree, thinking of the Shen family house, now Han Peacock already knows that the Shen family house turned out to be the location of the Han family village, and the Shen family ancestral hall they demolished turned out to be the Han family ancestral hall, otherwise it would be impossible to worship the Han family tree inside.

If it is really out of the Han ancestral hall, then these ladies are definitely not coming from the right way, you must know that with the arrest of the Hou family brothers, there are also people on the Shen family's side, are these ladies pictures a fish that slipped through the net?

Although he guessed the origin of some of these ladies' pictures, Han Peacock was not selfless enough to give away these things, and it was naturally his fate that he met.

Han Peacock said: "If Boss Chen can provide the inheritance records of these paintings, don't say 500,000, I can pay a price of 1 million to accept these ladies' pictures, if you want to come to Boss Chen also knows the rules of the industry, things of unknown origin, the price will naturally be greatly discounted." ”

"Of course, these things have a detailed inheritance, just like the Han family tree I sold you earlier, and that is the best proof of that." Chen Qian's face finally changed slightly, although it was very slight, but in the face of Han Peacock, who deliberately tested him, he still couldn't hide it.

Han Peacock said: "So I can rest assured, you also know that I am going to establish a private museum, some things of unknown origin, if you want to put them on display in the museum, it is very troublesome, so that there is no obstacle between us, look at things!" As long as the thing is right, transfer it immediately. ”

Han Peacock took out the transfer agreement prepared in advance from his bag, and let Chen Qian see that this kind of agreement, Han Peacock has it in his hand at any time now, anyway, the terms are just like that, as long as both parties sign, the seller provides a subsidiary agreement that proves the origin of the lady's picture, so that the transaction is successful.

"I don't have a pen with me, we won't sign this agreement, it's okay to do something so formal, it's like selling things on the street, when did we sign this thing." Chen Qian pushed the agreement aside.

At this time, a young man behind him also said: "We are all rough people, who has nothing to do with a pen every day?" I think we'd better talk about the price! ”

Hearing them say this, Han Peacock breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that it was really as he thought.

Although this will be a bit troublesome, if each of the fourteen paintings can be reduced to less than one million, it is a difference of tens of millions.

"I didn't bring a pen either, we are old acquaintances, it's okay not to sign an agreement, but the price has to come as I said, 500,000, this price is already very high.

You know, some things sell that kind of heritage. Especially calligraphy and painting, if there is a collection seal on the calligraphy and painting in an orderly manner, it may not be a famous painting, just because there are some celebrity seals on it, which can double the value of the painting.

You see, although your lady's painting is good, it doesn't have a collection seal, so the price must be lower. Han Peacock gave Chen Qian the steps from the good flow.

Chen Qian listened to Han Peacock's words, and naturally felt very reasonable, and the most important thing was that Han Peacock did not dwell on the origin of these paintings. So he said, "500,000 is too low." I also let one step three million, I think this price should be regarded as the market price, at such a price to receive the hand, Mr. Han will definitely not suffer. ”

"Boss Chen should be knowledgeable. Even if it is now Tang Bohu's small vertical shaft. It's only a million per square foot. If I collect one million square feet, your picture of a lady will not exceed two million, and now you are a monk of three million. That's a price more expensive than Tang Bohu, and I believe that not only do I not recognize such a price, but even if I call anyone, I won't approve it. Han Peacock shook his head and said.

Chen Qian heard that this was indeed the case, and he had also looked up a lot of information recently, and he didn't know much about the prices of famous paintings.

Of course, Chen Qian is just a peddler, so his vision is not so broad, in fact, this is Han Peacock stealing the concept, and there is no comparison between fine works and ordinary works.

But who made Chen Qian not have that eyesight, and he didn't have much confidence in this picture of Ren Bonian's lady, and the strangeness of the place where he left the money hit his self-confidence, so he naturally didn't think that this was a good masterpiece.

Since it is not a high-quality product, it is impossible to sell it for a sky-high price, so Chen Qian thought for a while before saying: "One million pairs, if it is lower, we will not sell it, I think these will be sent to the auction house to operate, how can we fetch a high price." ”

"Is this painting two square feet? One million pairs, more than 500,000 per square foot, such a price is still too high. Han Peacock still shook his head.

Chen Qian heard Han Peacock's words, but his whole body relaxed: "This painting is less than two square feet, but there are also four square feet, so the average price of one million is really not high." ”

"If that's the case, this price is okay, but Boss Chen also said that this is the market price, since it is the market price, I will not have any profit when I receive it, and I have to do business to be a win-win situation!" Now I can't make money, Boss Chen makes me work for nothing? Han Peacock is pressing step by step, and now Chen Qian is already a little messy.

After Han Peacock might suspect that these things were coming from the wrong way, he should have been in a hurry to make a move.

Sure enough, Chen Qian gritted his teeth and said: "A total of thirteen million, this has left you enough profits, if Mr. Han is still not satisfied, we can only find another buyer." ”

Han Peacock looked at Chen Qian's expression, now he is very serious, maybe he suffered a big loss in the hands of Han Peacock last time, so this time his preparation is very sufficient, the price of one million should be his psychological price, it is not easy to break through this, now he can give up one million, and he really left enough profit for Han Peacock.

Han Peacock was also afraid of messing with Chen Qian, and it was not bad to be able to buy it at this price now: "Look at the goods!" As long as the thing is right, pay immediately. ”

"Mr. Han is happy, it seems that the legends in the antique shop are not all groundless, Mr. Han is really, tens of millions of transactions, the transaction is made without blinking an eye, a big boss like you, and a hawker like us is still bothering, it is really unkind."

Seeing the business deal, Chen Qian's stiff face finally had a smile, and he actually joked with Han Peacock.

Han Peacock smiled: "Don't all of us in the industry want to save face? If the price of buying something is high, it is not a leak, it is an eye-catcher, and it is a shame to say it. ”

"Congratulations to Mr. Han for successfully picking up the leak again." Chen Qian said with a smile.

Han Peacock also smiled: "This time there are more things, if there are fewer things, I really don't count as a leak, or Boss Chen is amazing, you picked up a big leak this time, right?"

If you have done this business, you can do it, as the saying goes, if you don't open for three years, you will eat for three years, this is used on Boss Chen, it's not wrong at all! ”

Han Peacock and Chen Qing complimented each other, but the business was not left behind.

Han Peacock put away the previous picture of the lady, and opened a pair again, this picture is the two ladies, one side facing each other, the posture is elegant, the hostess seems to have instructions to the maid, and as if she wants to say speechless, the expression is vivid and natural, and the color is elegant.

Although the style of painting is a little simpler, but its skill is not inferior to the first one, this is an extremely rare masterpiece, the most important thing is that this painting is much better than the one just now, so calculated, Chen Qian really did not raise the price too high.

Fourteen pairs of ladies are pictures, each one is different, especially when Han Peacock saw a pair of maids wearing cheongsam, his heart suddenly moved, and then, he was attracted by the lady, when he wanted to grasp the inspiration just now, but he couldn't think of anything.

He seemed to have thought of something just now, and that thought was very real, but he forgot it all of a sudden, this kind of thing with a flash of inspiration was really difficult to grasp.

In desperation, Han Peacock could only continue to look at the painting, maybe after a few more glances, he could remember what he had thought of just now.

This painting is even more exciting, with a few brushstrokes, which vividly reflects the shyness of women in modern cheongsams.

The delicate posture of the goddess in this picture, revealing a kind of summer fatigue, the charming figure of the woman in the picture, the curves are crossed, and the contrast is commensurate, forming a novel and unique pattern, which is intended to depict the lady waving the fan lightly, and the pulse is affectionate.
