Chapter 248: Black Market Auction

Back at the hotel, Fang Yan looked at the old man in front of him, and asked with a curious look on his face.

"Grandpa, I went to a jewelry store today, and I heard that there is a person who looks very similar to me, who seems to be also surnamed Fang, grandpa, do we have any lost children in our family?" Hearing Fang Yan's words, the old man was suddenly shocked.

There was a lot of thought along the way, and it was impossible for a few women to guess for no reason. That's why he asked this question.

"Lee's Jewelry." Hearing the old man's words, Fang Yan's body shook, he didn't expect that the old man would know that he had encountered such a thing there, so his grandfather had already known about this person who was similar to him.

"Grandpa, do you know this one?" Looking at the old man, Fang Yan's face was full of curiosity.

"You know, this person should be your brother, a year older than you. At that time, because of some things, we didn't find him, so he has been exiled all these years. We didn't know about him until this year. The last time I sent your second uncle to contact him, but he seems to already know about our existence, but he has no intention of recognizing us. ”

Although their Fang family didn't have the current strength back then, it was still easy to find someone. What's more, after confirming Fang Qi's identity back then, the relevant authorities could find them, send Fang Qi back, or notify them to take him back, but someone was unwilling to operate it secretly.

"Grandpa, where is he now?" Knowing that he had an older brother, Fang Yan's eyes couldn't help but flash a glimmer of light, but then he asked innocently.

Hearing Fang Yan's words, the old man couldn't help but shake his head, and said with a sigh:

"He's in his house now, but he doesn't want us to disturb him, and this time I just want to see him and clean up. Tonight we went to a black market, and he would do too. Hearing the old man's words, Fang Qi's spirit was suddenly shocked

The black market, a very mysterious existence, is not an existence supported by a force, but an existence that everyone acquiesces in. In Fang Qi's understanding. The black market is all about selling things that are shady, or that you can't trade overtly. Of course, there are many transactions, such as contraband, contraband, buying at a low price, and making a profit at a high price.

This time they're going to a private auction on the black market, a really top private auction, and the private black market of the year ago is definitely a focus, because a lot of the good stuff deposited will be auctioned here. But there are also a lot of fakes, just like the Xuande furnace that Lin Fengqing photographed last time, it is a fake. This time it's even more the same.

And this time the location of the black market auction is in a private annex, and everyone who enters must check the equipment on their bodies, and all electronic products are basically not allowed to be brought in, even mobile phones.

Because this time, the good stuff will definitely shake the whole venue. Something can stir up the whole world, so it's not allowed to take pictures and take them out.

"Mr. Fang. There you are. Fang Qi looked at Lin Fengqing and nodded with a smile, and with him were Lin Fengyun and Ma Tiancheng and Lin Tian, who wanted to increase their knowledge. They had a good relationship with Fang Qi, and it was also good to bring them with them for a long time, so Lin Fengqing only brought them after staring at them.

And Fang Qi was accompanied by Jin Lao, and Song Ming and a few others came by themselves. Because this time they knew that a few old men were coming, then this time things must not be simple, so they had no intention of bidding. Just to see the excitement, but staying with a few old men, they feel extremely depressed. So just sit next to Fang Qi and chat with Fang Qi.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's a new year, and I'm meeting you again, this time the people we invited are all the biggest names in the antique world, and this time we have received a big deal at the auction, so we invited you. Guys, I'm not going to talk nonsense, now the auction begins. Please, our first auction item of the day, and one of the few things we'll have tonight. ”

After speaking, I saw two men in black walking out carrying two shelves, and there was a painting hanging on it, and many people stood up in shock when they saw this painting.

The stage was lit by bright lights, but it was dark below, and you could barely see the road. However, Fang Qi could see the reaction of everyone in the audience clearly.

This is the Southern Song Dynasty "Xiaoxiang Lying Tour Picture Scroll", which is rumored to be made by the Li painter who was the same township as Li Gonglin. Legend has it that after traveling all over the world, the Yungu Zen master of the Southern Song Dynasty lived in seclusion in Jindou Mountain in Wuxing, Zhejiang. He regretfully thought of the Xiaoxiang landscape that he had not yet set foot in, so he asked a painter surnamed Li to paint the beautiful scenery of Xiaoxiang for him, hang the painting in the room, lie on the bed, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery, so it is Xiaoxiang sleeping.

This painting is also Emperor Qianlong's favorite landscape painting, the whole long scroll is stained with light ink in one go, without outlining and showing brush marks. The large blank space, the hazy landscape, the empty mountains, the water to the sky, the majestic atmosphere, let the viewer forget the brushwork and ink for a while, and completely immerse themselves in the vast realm created by the painter, and have the feeling of wandering outside the world in a trance, which is completely a divine product.

At that time, the value of this painting was even higher than that of "Traveling in the Mountains and Streams" and "Fuchun Mountain Residence", which was acquired by the collector Kikuchi Yutang of the R country at the end of the Qing Dynasty. However, at the beginning of the 20th century, the Tianjing earthquake caused the Kikuchi family's warehouse to catch fire, and the old man risked his life to rescue the most precious "Xiaoxiang Lying Tour" and "Cold Food Post" from inside, so there were a little fire marks left on the two long scrolls.

Some time ago, you have already heard about the theft, and all the thirteen precious paintings of China that have been hidden in the Tianjing Museum of Country R were stolen, but tonight, he will appear here one by one. Ladies and gentlemen, you are all celebrities in the collecting world, and you know the rules of our black market, so there is nothing you dare not sell.

This time, we are also returning these national treasures to the country, so we have invited no foreigners this time, all of you are top experts, whether it is true or not, please come to the stage to verify. Hearing the host's words, Jin Lao and the others didn't move, only Fang Qi walked up.

"Uncle Lin, can Brother Fang go up alone?" Looking at Lin Fengqing, Ma Tiancheng on the side couldn't help but say.

"Don't speak, just look here, don't speak. As for whether it will work or not, if Mr. Fang can't conclude it, then no one can tell whether it's true or not. ”

Looking at the few old men around him, Lin Fengqing knew that these were all top masters. And Fang Qi too, at this time last year, Fang Qi could even distinguish the authenticity of the Xuande Furnace and Tang Dao and Knock Jade, of course, there was no problem with this.

"Grandpa, this person looks like?" looked at Fang Qi who came on the field in the middle. Fang Yan in the audience suddenly looked at Old Man Fang in shock.

"See, he is the widow of your uncle, and now he is also a well-known figure in the collecting world, don't speak, I'll go and see what is on it." Watching the old man go up, in fact, it was just to have more contact with Fang Qiduo.

Fang Qi was just putting on a show, when the old man came to power. He had left the top straight away and returned to the seat below.

"Mr. Fang, how is it?" Looking at Fang Qi. Lin Fengqing's eyes were full of excitement, if it was true, he would definitely take it.

"Hehe, Mr. Lin, it's better not to move some things." Feng Lao, who was on the side, suddenly said a word, and Lin Fengqing, who was originally bursting with passion, suddenly seemed to pour a basin of cold water. Is this a warning?

"Lin Dong, I am bound to get this thing, thirteen paintings. You basically have no possibility, but something else. If you like it, can I help you get it? Hearing Fang Qi's words, although Lin Fengqing was reluctant, he really didn't dare to bid in the face of pressure from a few old men.

"This "Xiaoxiang Lying Tour Picture Scroll" has a reserve price of 100 million. Each price increase, not less than one million, everyone, please bid? When the people below saw this painting, there was silence.

"Three hundred million." Fang Qi slowly said a sky-high price. At the same time, a number plate in his hand also lit up.

"Three hundred and ten million." Although 300 million is high, this is the "Xiaoxiang Lying Tour Picture Scroll" with a value higher than that of Fuchun Mountain, and the price of 300 million is not high at all. It even rose to 400 million after that.

"Six hundred million." There was another surge, and everyone couldn't help but look at No. 9, but it was a blur.

"600 million, 600 million, do you have a higher price, 600 million, the first time, 600 million for the second time, 600 million for the third time. Deal. The transaction price of 600 million, Lin Tian and Ma Tiancheng looked at Fang Qi in disbelief, 600 million was spent like this, the poor guy who was originally in their hearts now waved hundreds of millions of dollars without changing his face.

"Brother Fang, aren't you doing the arms business anymore, why are you suddenly so rich?" Hearing Ma Tiancheng's words, Fang Qi couldn't help but smile and said:

"I am in the jewelry business, and I have more than 100 million yuan a day." Hear Fang Qi's words. Ma Tiancheng and Lin Tian couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

"Let's start with the second piece, Ma Yuan's "Hanjiang Solo Fishing Picture" in the Song Dynasty, this painting is related to a poem, Liu Yuanzong in the Tang Dynasty has a poem "River Snow", thousands of mountains and birds fly away, and thousands of people disappear. Lonely boat, fishing alone in the cold river and snow. This painting is the poetic painting of "Jiang Xue".

In this painting, the author depicts a flat boat with a rigorous iron line, with an old man leaning over to fish, and the water lines are outlined with a few brushstrokes of light ink next to the boat, and all sides are blank. The painter paints very little, but the picture is not empty. On the contrary, it makes people feel that the river is vast and cold. And I feel that there is an interest in the blank space that is difficult to express in words, whether it is empty and silent, or depressed and indifferent, which is really inexhaustible.

This kind of poetry-like intriguing realm is the product of the combination of the painter's mind and nature, and in art, it is the result of the combination of fiction and reality. Let us appreciate the artistic interest of "poetry is an invisible painting, and painting is a tangible poem".

Ladies and gentlemen, this painting of Hanjiang solo fishing is also a picture of the National Museum, experts, please come forward to verify? ”

"Grandpa, he's gone up again with this painting." Noticed Fang Qi's Fang Qi at all times, and watched Fang Qi go up again, and couldn't help but be shocked.

"The starting price of this "Hanjiang Solo Fishing Map" is 100 million, and the price increase is not less than 1 million each time, everyone, please bid?" Hearing the host's words, Fang Qi went directly to 300 million, just like the original. It's just that this time after Fang Qi gave 300 million, no one raised the price, so 300 million won this painting.

This painting is more than a step worse than "Xiaoxiang Lying Tour Picture Scroll", 200 million is already a sky-high price, and Fang Qi's bid has exceeded the price of this painting. And this painting is not the right way, otherwise "Xiaoxiang Lying Tour Picture Scroll" is not only the price of Fang Qi, but at least half of the current price, Fang Qi may be able to win.

After more than a dozen scenes, Fang Qi successively took pictures of "Xiaoxiang Lying Tour Picture Scroll", "Hanjiang Solo Fishing Picture", "Red and White Hibiscus Picture", "Snow Landscape Picture", and spent a total of more than one billion. But Fang Qi's money, Fang Qi will not go out for no reason, after this money goes out, he will set up another account for Fang Qi to deposit it.

And Lin Fengqing also saw that several old people had carved up these things, especially Fang Qi's division of the four, all of which were the best, which made him have an illusion. After all, Fang Qi still couldn't catch up with a few old men in his heart, but now Fang Qi was firmly occupying the lion's head.

And Ma Tiancheng and the others were also excited, these four paintings cost Fang Qi nearly a billion. They didn't expect to be able to see such a big drama today.

"Xiaotian, don't tell the two of you about today's matter, if you say it, it will cause great trouble to Mr. Fang. These are all ancient paintings that were lost by the government of country R a month ago, so once you pass them on, the country will immediately take them back and return them to the museum of country R? Lin Fengqing looked at the two young people he brought, and they were the only ones here who were unreliable.

And Jin Lao and the others had seen them at Fang Qi's promotion banquet and didn't say anything, but this person was brought by Lin Fengqing, if something went wrong, he couldn't get rid of responsibility. Of course, the main thing is that he didn't expect that today's things would be so special.

"Got it, Uncle Lin." Ma Tiancheng also knows the consequences, not to mention the responsibility, that is, the police will take it back after knowing it, Fang Qi will lose more than a billion yuan.

After that, Fang Qi basically didn't auction anything, but instructed Lin Fengqing to buy a few good things, after all, he had spent a lot of money today, although his money didn't really flow out.

"Grandpa, what is this person doing, he has so much money?" Seeing that Fang Qi took four pictures, Fang Qi had a trace of curiosity in his heart.

"You don't need to know his identity, I just want to see him this time, so don't tell your father when you go back. Since he doesn't want to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, let's not disturb him. "This time it's basically Fang Qi's home field, but the things that Fang Qi and the others have photographed, everything he has seen, are basically genuine.

But what he was most worried about was not this, but Fang Qi's other identity, gambling stones. Gambling stone is gambling, in his heart, even if the Jade King, that is, equivalent to the existence of the gambling king, but sooner or later there will be a day of losing. He was worried that Fang Qi would end up dying well because of gambling stones. (To be continued......)
