Chen Dewang smiled when he heard this, and said: "Yes, Zhang Ruitu's reputation in calligraphy is indeed relatively big, but let me ask you, do you know what factors determine the price of calligraphy?" ”

He knew his own business, and Judd would definitely not know about such a professional problem, so he shook his head directly. ￠￡￠￡，

Jia Decai's words and deeds almost made Chen Dewang impatient, but Chu Chen's favor had to be returned, and he could only patiently explain: "The standard of the value of calligraphy works is mainly reflected in several aspects, namely the level of calligraphy, the author's fame, age, scarcity, the source of the work, and so on. ”

When Judd heard this, he muttered, "This is too troublesome!" Isn't it okay to determine the value of something based on its fame? ”

Fame is a comprehensive concept that includes the influence, status, personal charisma, and social recognition of a work of art. Relying on the influence and social recognition of works of art to support and accumulate fame, the works of such artists are obtained by relying on artistic creativity, and often the market has a relatively long-term durability. but

Chen Dewang sneered: "According to what you say, then everyone can just compete for fame, what kind of calligraphy do you have to practice?" ”

For example, celebrities from all walks of life, officials, celebrities in the entertainment industry or important leadership positions in professional associations, they may love calligraphy because of their personal hobbies, but the level of calligraphy is not very good, or even very poor, but they can still gain market recognition for a period of time.

That's because people buy their calligraphy because of their fame or power. But once they retire or their status or fame wanes, their calligraphy works plummet or even go unnoticed.

Seeing Jia Decai smiled awkwardly, Chen Dewang continued: "Let's talk about fame." Zhang Ruitu's calligraphy can be unique among the calligraphers of the past dynasties, and his calligraphy level is certainly beyond doubt. But when he was an official, he took refuge in Wei Zhongxian, and was called 'Wei Jiage Lao'. was finally dismissed by Chongzhen, and his character can be said to be extremely unqualified. ”

Judd said: "It's nothing, after all, it's a matter of the Ming Dynasty." ”

Chen Dewang said: "The main reason why a painting and calligraphy work can appreciate in value is that it is sought after, but why is the work sought after? It is nothing more than because the work is good and the author's reputation is high, but this fame must at least be positive, otherwise no matter how high the artistic achievement of the work is, it will be affected. ”

"To give you a simple example, if you are an official. Someone gave you a work of Zhang Ruitu, even if this work is worth four or five hundred thousand, will you feel comfortable? ”

Judd just wanted to say that there was something uncomfortable about someone sending money to him, but after thinking about it carefully, this Ruitu was finally dismissed by Chongzhen, which was not a good sign. I don't know this, forget it, how can I feel comfortable when I know it?

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "books are like people", and there is also a theory of "abolishing books because of people", and Zhang Ruitu is afraid of power. Defecting to Wei Zhongxian is a political failure. However, his achievements in the art of calligraphy have been fairly evaluated by later generations, which is indeed rare in ancient times.

But there's no denying it. The value of Zhang Ruitu's works is indeed influenced by his reputation, and many literati have complained that he is Wei Zhongxian's henchman. As a result, his calligraphy was also prejudiced, and it was recognized by later generations. Some literati still don't like his works because of their style.

And. People always like the good side, even if there are some famous literati, their own endings are not very good, just like Tang Bohu's miserable life, but he at least retains the style of the literati, but Zhang Ruitu is the henchman of the great eunuch Wei Zhongxian, and he has always worn this hat on his head until his death.

This point can be ignored for people who really love calligraphy, but for many Chinese people who like "signs", at least when buying or giving gifts, they still have to think about whether it is suitable or not. This will undoubtedly affect the value of Zhang Ruitu's work.

Chen Dewang was silent when he saw Jia Decai, and continued: "In addition, there is another very important point that affects the value of calligraphy, that is, whether the quality and material of the work are good. This calligraphy work has been preserved like this, 200,000 is already a lot! ”

Everyone should know that the quality refers to the intact process of the work itself. Materials are the carriers of calligraphy works, such as paper, ink, seals, etc.

As we all know, the exhibition of calligraphy is also accompanied by the exhibition of materials. Calligraphy was first engraved on oracle bones, wood chips, and bamboo pieces, and then there were silk, silk, and then rice paper. The same is true of ink, from cinnabar, pine smoke ink to various characteristics of ink-making later, all of which have different influences on calligraphy works. The exhibition process of seals is also magnificent, and seals are also very important to the quality of calligraphy works.

Under the same conditions, the better the quality and the higher the material, the more valuable the work, otherwise it will be discounted.

In addition to the calligraphy itself, it is also because everyone admires the emperor's nobility and the important historical value carried by the holy decree, and the material of the writing is also an important influencing factor.

Therefore, for the investment in calligraphy and painting collections, it is also necessary to work the preservation and custody of artworks and the identification of materials, otherwise it will also seriously affect the value of the works in your hands.

Of course, there are also other accidental factors that affect the value of calligraphy, such as buyers' preferences for some calligraphers, emotional factors, and so on. Therefore, the value of calligraphy works needs to be considered in multiple ways, and cannot be simply determined.

However, Chen Dewang will not explain these things to Jia Decai in such detail, not that he doesn't want to explain, but Jia Decai has always held a half-believing attitude from beginning to end.

When Chu Chen saw Jia Decai like this, his heart was also tired, and Jia Decai didn't want to think about it, he and Chen Dewang didn't even know what the antiques in his hands were in advance, and they could still cheat him out of money? Moreover, if you really want to do that, you don't have to be so troublesome at all, just call the debt collector directly?

knew that Judd was such a character, even if Chen Dewang came forward to request, Chu Chen had to consider whether to help greet him.

Now Judd has completely fallen into the eyes of money. If you don't hit the south wall, you won't look back, so Chu Chen didn't bother to say anything. He asked bluntly: "Mr. Jia, I don't know if you still plan to sell this calligraphy work?" ”

Judd had a smile on his face. But he couldn't speak.

Needless to say, Chu Chen's choice could be understood, so he pointed to the other two things and said, "Okay, how much money are you going to transfer these two things to me?" ”

This calligraphy work, although among all Zhang Ruitu's calligraphy works, is considered a superior work, but it does not mean that Chu Chen can't find such a work, and because of the quality. The value has to be discounted a few times, and he really has nothing rare to do with such things, so he simply gives up.

Jia Decai scratched his head, when Chen Decai told him that he wanted to give Chu Chen a discount for other things, he asked the value of the jade turn and the string pot by the way, knowing that the two things together could be worth more than 150,000 yuan, but he knew the price of the thing, and it was a little difficult for him to choose how much to discount.

There are a lot of discounts. He was reluctant, there were fewer discounts, and he was afraid that Chu Chen would be angry, so he thought about it. He couldn't even make up his mind.

Chu Chen waited for a long time, and when he saw that Judd hadn't decided yet, he didn't want to wait any longer. He said, "Mr. Jia, let's do it." These two things are 150,000, what do you think? ”

"Okay! Okay! Judd nodded in agreement. I thought happily in my heart, this price was what Chu Chen said, and if he felt expensive afterwards, he couldn't blame himself.

Chen Dewang was so angry when he saw that Jia Decai agreed so happily, one Buddha was born, and the second Buddha ascended to heaven, did Jia Decai think that Chu Chen's favor to greet him was only worth one or two thousand yuan?

Chu Chen saw that Chen Dewang was about to scold, so he waved his hand to say that it was unnecessary, and then said, "Okay, let's sign an agreement!" ”

The two sides signed an agreement, and then went to the bank not far from the teahouse to transfer the account, and then Chu Chen directly said goodbye.

Seeing Chu Chen leave directly in the car, Chen Dewang sighed in his heart, originally they said on the phone that Chu Chen would take out part of the transaction money to deal with Jia Decai's debts, so that he could save some of the money and put it there with him, and then pay it back to Jia Decai when the time is right.

Now because of Jia Decai's expression, it seems that Chu Chen doesn't want to care about this matter anymore. Moreover, he didn't know if Chu Chen's attitude towards him would change because of today's incident, which made him feel depressed when he thought about it.

Of course, it is normal for Chu Chen to make such a decision, as the old saying goes, the clay man also has three points of anger, if it weren't for Chen Dewang's presence, with Jia Decai's expression, Chu Chen would probably leave directly without even buying things, and would also call those moneylenders and let them watch it themselves.

However, even if he didn't do it, he still asked people to pass the word to the other party, telling them to collect interest, and the interest only needs to be in the regulations. Otherwise, Judd heard that he didn't want interest, and if he didn't say it if he wasn't grateful, he might think about it!

Chen Dewang also knew that in the final analysis, it was Jia Decai's responsibility, not to mention Chu Chen, even he himself was deeply ashamed of Jia Decai's behavior. With such a big person, don't you have any eyesight? It's a shame that I've been trying to find a way to help solve his problems, and it's not worth it for myself to think about it.

Thinking of this, Chen Dewang glanced at Jia Decai, snorted coldly and turned around and left, he was already disappointed in Jia Decai.

Judd was a little embarrassed at this situation, but he quickly came to his senses, went to the side of the road and flagged down a taxi, ready to go to his friend's to dispose of the contents of his suitcase, thinking that millions of bills were waving to him, and he was about to drool.

He didn't even think about what to do if the result was the same as Chu Chen's, because he felt that a character like Chu Chen could ask for an imitation of the Republic of China? This is obviously impossible! As for the calligraphy works, he felt that he could sell them to people he liked, and the price would be higher than 200,000 yuan.

When Judd thought of money, he was very good at calculus, and if he had been shrewd in today's matter, he would not have had the miserable experience of the next few days. Of course, this is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being. (To be continued!u.)
