Chapter 1019: The Doom Brothers
"Haha, junior brother, why are you calling now, you have gone to a small island country, it can be said that our Chinese calligraphy has raised its eyebrows, let the world, shock in Chinese calligraphy, and let those who sing the decline of Chinese calligraphy have to shut their mouths." After connecting the phone, Yang Qishen's hearty laughter came from the phone.
The news of Chen Yi's calligraphy exhibition in the small island country has spread all over the world, especially in China, and many people are excited and proud of it.
"Senior Brother Yang, that's because Chinese calligraphy has a profound background, and I'm just an introduction." Chen Yi smiled and shook his head, if it weren't for the profound background of Chinese calligraphy, he would not have been able to learn from it, so he would have naturally created a new style of calligraphy.
Yang Qishen smiled, "You kid, you just like to be modest, don't blame me for being honest, although Chinese calligraphy has a very deep foundation and foundation, it lacks a leading figure, a person who can bring the art of calligraphy to the extreme, and you are such a character." ”
"Okay, senior brother, thank you for the compliment, I called you, there are two things." After Chen Yi thanked Yang Qishen, he talked about the purpose of the call.
Yang Qishen's words are very correct, the Chinese calligraphy world is now a little chaotic, the major schools are full of it, and there are some people who sell dog meat with sheep's heads, and his appearance can indeed make the Chinese calligraphy world condense into a force.
; "Oh, two things, let's talk about it." Hearing Chen Yi's words, Yang Qishen said with some surprise.
Chen Yi smiled and nodded, "The first thing, I guess Senior Brother also knows." After the end of the fair. I'm going to hold an auction in the small island nation of Dongdu. The auction of my three calligraphy, from now, is estimated to be only ten days, I think this auction, or let the Yazang auction house to operate, after all, the fertilizer does not flow into the field of outsiders. ”
"Hehe, Xiaoyi, I'm just waiting for your words. This auction is all for us. Yang Qishen laughed, naturally knowing the great benefits of this auction.
Chen Yi's calligraphy has been known to the whole world, and this calligraphy auction will also attract the attention of the whole world, especially in China, small island countries, and Southeast Asian countries. All have to contact their auction house.
This will undoubtedly make their Yazang auction house more and more famous, originally because of the firewood kiln porcelain. The Yazang Auction House has already gained a certain reputation in the world, and now, after holding this calligraphy auction, it is conceivable that the fame of the Yazang Auction House will continue to grow.
For an auction house, fame is the most important, with fame, more collectors will come to participate in the auctions they organize, and more people will trust their auction house to send all kinds of precious antiques and cultural relics to their auction house for auction.
This first thing was already expected by Yang Qishen, Chen Yi's support for his friends, but he didn't have to say that if there was anything good, basically all he thought of was his friends, not to mention, he and Chen Yi were still brothers, and Yazang Auction House also had Chen Yi's shares in storage.
"Little junior brother, what about the second thing." Yang Qishen asked curiously.
Chen Yi smiled, "The second thing is to ask Senior Brother you to check the auction records of the handicrafts made by the Dum brothers, as well as some of their information." ”
"Brother Doom, a famous French glass master, one of the three major brands of glass, junior brother, what do you want their auction records for, can it be...... Have you found a treasure related to them? Hearing Chen Yi's words, Yang Qishen almost didn't think about it and asked directly.
As the head of an auction house, he can be said to have a great understanding of many works of art in the world, and the company where the Doom brothers work, one of the three major French brands, how can he not know it.
"Senior brother, you guessed it, I accidentally got a table lamp made by the Dum brothers, which looks very delicate and has a unique beauty." Chen Yi nodded and said without concealment.
Yang Qishen showed a touch of surprise on his face, and hurriedly asked, "Are you getting the work of the Dum brothers, or the work of the Dum Company?" ”
There is a world of difference in value and meaning between the works of art made by the Doom brothers themselves and those made by other craftsmen of the Doom Company, especially now, after the death of the Doom brothers, the value of the handicrafts they made before Zuò has risen even faster.
"Before I was in the antique market, I found this beautiful table lamp, on the lampshade and on the tripod, I found the intaglio signature of the Doom brothers, for the Doom brothers, I don't know much, but I also know that their things have a certain value, so I bought this table lamp, just returned to the hotel, and learned from you, senior brother." Chen Yi said with a smile.
Yang Qishen showed a touch of expectation on his face, "The intaglio signature of the Dum brothers, then this is undoubtedly their work, and now the glass handicrafts made by the Dum brothers are in demand in the auction market, because every handicraft they produce is a combination of art and beauty, Xiaoyi, can you take a photo and send it over, let me see what this table lamp looks like." ”
"Of course you can, wait a minute." Chen Yi agreed, turned on the shooting function of the mobile phone, and took a comprehensive picture of the plum pattern table lamp from several angles, and the intaglio signature of the lampshade and the tripod was the most important of them.
After receiving the photo, Yang Qishen hung up the phone and told Chen Yi that he would study it for a while and then call.
In less than ten minutes, Yang Qishen's phone called, "Little junior brother, how much did you spend on this table lamp when you bought it." ”
"Oh, I spent 100,000 yen." Chen Yi pretended to be stupid and said.
"100,000 yen, 5,000 yuan, you, you've picked up a big leak again." Yang Qishen glared, and then said excitedly.
Chen Yi suddenly smiled and said, "Oh, senior brother, listen to your words, this table lamp should be of great value." ”
Hearing Chen Yi's words, Yang Qi said with a deep sigh: "Not only is the value very high, this is the table lamp made by the Dum brothers, and it is also a plum ornament, the overall beauty is very unique, in the table lamp works of the Dum brothers, it belongs to the first-class fine works, and the glass handicrafts produced by the Dum brothers have now reached the highest auction price of nearly eight million yuan." ”
"That's an umbrella shadow inflorescence pattern vase, it's also a very beautiful handicraft, your table lamp, compared to it, it's not much different, according to the auction records, in the previous auction, there was a table lamp of the Dum brothers, which was worse than your table lamp color and beauty, and the transaction price also reached five million yuan, and your table lamp, the value of at least six million to seven million, you really picked up a big leak."
Yang Qishen's heart is full of emotion, just a few days after arriving in the small island country, Chen Yi relied on three pieces of calligraphy, and gained great fame, so that the traditional Chinese calligraphy once again glowed with new brilliance, and was well-known to the world, and also found this table lamp of the Dum brothers.
You must know that the works of the Doom brothers can be said to be very precious, especially the high-quality works like Chen Yi, which are something that countless people are vying for.
Of course, compared to Chen Yi's entire Taobao experience of picking up leaks, these six or seven million works of art are really nothing, you know, Chen Yi has even found Michelangelo's sketches, and also found the Huaxia Zhibao Lizhu, not to mention the Lizhu itself, just the added value created by Lizhu is already a huge wealth.
Six million to seven million, Chen Yi showed a hint of surprise on his face, he really didn't know much about the Dum brothers, according to his judgment, the value of this table lamp was between five hundred and six million, but he didn't expect it to be about one million more than he judged.
"Oh, I didn't think it was so valuable." Chen Yi said with a pretended surprise in his tone.
"Haha, little junior brother, Chinese antiques, you are better than me, I can't interject, I am more proficient than you in this Western glass craft, hehe." Yang Qishen gloated.
In some previous experiences, Chen Yi has always been synonymous with omnipotence, and now that he knows that Chen Yi also has things he doesn't understand, he suddenly feels very balanced in his heart.
"Senior brother, please advise." Chen Yi said with a smile.
"Okay, then senior brother will tell you." Yang Qishen nodded and explained the story of the Dum brothers to Chen Yi.
After the death of Shanndum, the company was inherited by his two sons, Auguste and Anthony, among whom Auguste, a lover of literature and music, was a versatile and hopelessly optimist who maintained the courage to never give up, even in the most difficult moments of the factory.
One year, Anthony had a serious illness, and while he was hospitalized, he saw summer flowers blooming outside the window, which inspired him, and he wondered if he could decorate the glass with floral patterns.
During this period of hospitalization, he began to concretize his idea, which marked the official entry of Doom into the field of art glass.
The most outstanding contribution of the Doom brothers in craftsmanship is the reproduction of an ancient technique that originated in ancient Egypt and was lost for more than 3,000 years due to its high technical difficulty, the lost-wax casting, a method of making glass that has never been more colorful than ever before.
The half-dead company was also under the leadership of the two brothers, and slowly developed bigger and bigger, and today, it has become one of the three famous glass brands in France, and it is also the place with the longest history. (To be continued......) R1292
