Chapter 716: Oil Painting in Hand

In this small shed, Chen Yi didn't expect to find the third group of them, which was really an unexpected gain, as for why this oil painting was here, he really couldn't guess the reason, but in any case, it was better to get this painting first.

"Boss, how do you sell oil paintings here?" Chen Yi pointed to this pile of oil paintings and said to the stall owner next to him, some of the stall owners here are all wearing antiques and look really like antiques, and this stall owner is no exception.

The stall owner has been paying attention to Chen Yi, at this time around his small shed, there is only Chen Yi as a customer, at this time hearing the inquiry, his face is suddenly full of smiles, and he said enthusiastically: "Young man, this oil painting is very cheap, if you want more, I can give it to you at a wholesale price." ”

Hearing the stall owner's words, the corners of Chen Yi's mouth lifted, and before he could bring it up, the stall owner sent it directly to the door, "Boss, the quality of your oil paintings is not very good, where did you get them?" ”

"Young man, this is something I bought from a regular gallery, so it's definitely going to be much cheaper than the ones in the gallery, but it just costs a few bucks to buy a frame to put it on." Seeing that Chen Yi doubted the origin of these paintings, the stall owner said with a serious face.

At this moment, the psychological activities of the stall owner have already appeared in Chen Yi's mind, it turns out that these paintings were obtained from a nearby stall owner who has gone out of business, and they have been placed here for many days, but no one cares about them.

Knowing the origin of this painting, Chen Yi looked at this small shed, the surrounding things were very messy, and the shelves where the oil paintings were placed were still dirty. In addition, the surface of the oil painting is a layer of dust. And the first oil painting above. It's so ordinary, I'm afraid not many people will patiently look at every oil painting.

Chen Yi didn't ask any more, he looked roughly at the location of the oil painting of Union Hospital, and then said to the boss: "How do I calculate if I want to buy more than ten pieces, give a flat price." ”

"If you don't pick it, 500 Hong Kong dollars a piece, this is the price I have lost a lot." The stall owner thought about it carefully, then gritted his teeth and said.

"Five hundred Hong Kong dollars. Boss, I really don't pick, just take a dozen or so, some of them are good or bad, one is up to 100 Hong Kong dollars. Chen Yi did not hesitate to make a counteroffer, as far as the first ordinary oil painting is concerned, it is only two or three hundred Hong Kong dollars at most.

The stall owner immediately smiled bitterly, "Young man, 100 Hong Kong dollars is too little, and I will give you another 100 Hong Kong dollars." More than 10 pieces, HK$400 per piece. ”

After listening to the stall owner. Chen Yi didn't talk nonsense, he took more than a dozen of them directly from this pile of oil paintings, and the priceless oil painting was wrapped in the middle, "Boss, I want so much, see I'm so happy, you should be happy, I'll take it home for decoration, otherwise, I won't want it at all." ”

The stall owner was indeed shocked by Chen Yi's refreshing movements, and finally said ruthlessly: "Another 100 Hong Kong dollars cheaper, 300 Hong Kong dollars a piece, this is the lowest price." ”

Chen Yi smiled and nodded, and didn't bargain further, "Okay, I'll see how many paintings this is, and then I'll give you money." After that, he counted seventeen paintings, one for three hundred Hong Kong dollars, for a total of five thousand and one hundred Hong Kong dollars.

He took out five golden 1,000 Hong Kong dollars from his wallet and one 100 Hong Kong dollars, handed them to the stall owner, and after the stall owner took the money, he hurriedly found a packaging bag for Chen Yi and put it up.

Chen Yi smiled, and after thanking the stall owner, he left the small shed, but there was a little excitement in his heart, he had seen a lot of more than 50 million Chinese paintings, but this level of oil paintings, and they were made by Chinese painters, he really didn't see much.

Just like his previous understanding of oil painting, all paintings that are weird and unique, with distinctive characteristics, will generally get closer and closer to success, and Zeng Fanzhi's paintings are this special, very free, without any constraints, and the paintings he paints are also strange and unique.

Just like the hospitals around us, everyone, including painters, often saw it, but only Zeng Fanzhi thought of creating these heavy and depressing paintings, and thus achieved artistic success.

In the future, Chen Yi also continued to use treasure searching, looking for treasures in the entire market, but found two more antiques worth more than one million.

One is the Ming Dynasty relief fish, dragon and sea beast red sandalwood pen holder, according to Chen Yi's eyes, it should be worth more than two million, it was found in the corner of an antique shop, it was covered with dust at that time, and he bought it for 10,000 Hong Kong dollars.

The other is worth more than one million Qing Dynasty bronze clay gold Buddha statue, for the Buddha Maitreya Buddha, and people are familiar with the open belly of Maitreya Buddha is not the same, and on its front engraved with the Qing Dynasty Qianlong Jing made the knowledge, when he found, there is also a middle-aged man watching, but see the end, give up, and can not determine the authenticity of this Buddha statue.

But Chen Yi took a few looks, and bought it directly for 15,000 Hong Kong dollars, which made the middle-aged man shake his head, and persuaded Chen Yi to be cautious and not rely on his own momentary perception.

For the persuasion of the middle-aged man, he also nodded and thanked him, put the things into the box, bought a backpack nearby, put the pen holder and the Buddha statue in it, and still carried more than ten oil paintings in his hands.

After that, when Chen Yi used the treasure search technique, all he found were some things of low value, so he didn't use them anymore, but continued to wander around the nearby antique shops.

After all, the treasures contained in every antique market are limited, and many people continue to come to Taobao to pick up leaks, and it is already very good luck for him to be able to get these, among which the oil painting of Union Hospital is the most important of them.

After shopping for a while, Xiao Shenghua called and asked him where he was, Chen Yi told him where he was, and in less than two minutes, Xiao Shenghua rushed over, also holding a bag in his hand.

Seeing the backpack on Chen Yi's back and the bag in his hand, Xiao Shenghua couldn't help but smile, "Xiaoyi, looking at your appearance, you should have gained a lot this time." ”

"It's really a lot of gains, Uncle Hua, I'm afraid you're the same." Chen Yi nodded, not to mention anything else, just that one oil painting is enough to be called a great harvest.

"I also found two worthless things, seeing that your bag is filled with oil paintings, are these all treasures you found." Xiao Shenghua waved his hand and smiled, then looked at the packaging bag that Chen Yi was carrying, and suddenly asked with some doubts.

Chen Yi shook his head, "If they were all treasures, I would be thankful, only one of them was an oil painting that I found, and the rest were used to hide people's eyes." ”

"Haha, it's also very good to have only one piece, let's go, it's a little inconvenient here, I have a friend who has a gallery nearby, let's go to him to sit, take a break, and see how each other gets."

Xiao Shenghua laughed, patted Chen Yi's shoulder, and then said.

Chen Yi nodded, and did not refuse, he was also a little tired after going around the antique market for so long, but it was worth it to be able to find these treasures, no matter how tired he was.

Subsequently, he and Xiao Shenghua carried things and came to a street near Morro Street, which is roughly the same as Morro Street, both of which are places to sell antiques, but in terms of grade, they are still higher.

Walking into this street and looking at the floor-to-ceiling windows lining the shops on both sides, you know that this place is very different from the antique market before.

Later, they came to this street, a gallery with the English name, which translates to New Age Gallery.

In this gallery, as its name suggests, all of them are oil paintings, and as for Chinese paintings, there is no one.

"That's it, let's go, let's go in." Xiao Shenghua smiled and walked into the gallery with Chen Yi.

The moment they entered the gallery, a person in the gallery greeted them directly, "Two gentlemen, may I ask...... Ah, it turned out to be Mr. Xiao, the boss is talking to a guest inside, you sit and wait for a while. Seeing Xiao Shenghua, the service staff in the gallery immediately said politely, as if they knew the relationship between Xiao Shenghua and the boss.

Xiao Shenghua nodded, "Xiaoyi, let's sit down and rest first, you're welcome, this is your own place." With that, he took Chen Yi to sit on the sofa next to the gallery.

After Chen Yi sat down, he kept looking at the gallery, the decoration of this gallery is very Western art, and most of the oil paintings on display are fine works, worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, and in terms of Xiao Shenghua's friends, I am afraid they will not be ordinary people.

In it, he also saw a painting by Zeng Fanzhi, which depicted a pile of grass that was a little messy, but it seemed to be chaotic, and there was a refreshing and calm atmosphere, which was not the same as the strong criticism he received from the Union Hospital.

In the case of this painting, Chen Yi did feel some different artistic atmospheres in it, but it was not unique enough, so this oil painting was far inferior to Union Hospital, and the value was about 500,000 yuan.

The staff in the gallery also went in to inform the boss, and in less than ten minutes, two people walked out of the room inside, one was dressed casually and messily, and his hair was also very trendy, while the other was in a suit and leather shoes, but when they saw this person, Chen Yi and Xiao Shenghua glanced at each other, and they both showed smiles on their faces.

At this time, the casually dressed middle-aged man walked over, "Haha, Brother Xiao, you are really here, how can you have time to come to my gallery today." ”

And the man in the suit and leather shoes, when he saw Xiao Shenghua and Chen Yi, his face was suddenly a little surprised, and a kind of uneasiness instantly appeared and disappeared. (To be continued......)
