This kind of little trick, Wei Hong has tried countless times before, and he can be said to be an expert in this area. These sons used this trick in front of Wei Hong, which was a bit like playing a big knife in front of Guan Gong. Wei Hong didn't break it, but pretended to be very interested: "Fifty taels of silver, but it's a lot of money." But then again, if the sons are willing to spend so much money, if I take the scroll to the calligraphy and painting market, wouldn't those who know how to give more? Well, that's it. With that, Wei Hong turned around and wanted to leave.

Wei Hong's trick is called wanting to capture the old and indulge, and he has tried and tested it repeatedly. Sure enough, when the sons saw that Wei Hong was leaving, they hurriedly hugged Wei Hong. One of the sons didn't care whether he had an agreement with the other sons, he just took Wei Hong's hand and said impatiently: "Little brother, don't be angry, they want to deceive you, but you are not the same as them." In this way, I made a wish to pay two hundred taels of silver to buy Mr. Wei's true handiwork, and asked the little brother to cut his love. ”

If you want to buy it, don't play with so many fancy intestines, play with my brains as a businessman, aren't you looking for death. Wei Hong snorted in his heart, stopped, slowly rolled up the scroll, and said, "Is there any other son who bids higher?" The reason why Wei Hong asked this is because he doesn't know the exact value of sketches now, which is called crossing the river by feeling the stones.

As soon as Wei Hong's words fell, there was a tall and tall son, relying on his body advantage, walked over quickly, without caring about his literati demeanor, very rudely pushed the boy away just now, and said loudly: "I will give four hundred taels of silver!" ”

Everyone present knew the value of sketches, whether they collected them themselves or sold them later, the benefits they could obtain were extraordinary. Everyone refused to be willing to be a man and asked for a price.

"I'll give you five hundred taels of silver!"

"I'll give you eight hundred taels of silver!"

"I'll give you a thousand taels of silver! Little brother, this thousand taels of silver is all the property left by the ancestors, and I ask the little brother to give this painting to the next brother. A well-mannered and well-dressed boy begged bitterly, and from his countenance it seemed that he really wanted the painting from the bottom of his heart.

Being so troubled by the princes, the fine traditional virtue of the Chinese people who like to watch the excitement has once again played its role, and a large number of people have poured up, surrounding the place. At first, people thought it was a double reed, a trick that charlatans used to deceive those who were not very sophisticated. But those sons who asked for prices often wandered around this street, and almost all the people in the neighborhood knew these sons, and thought that according to their family background, they would never embark on the road of cheating, so they believed in this matter for seven or eight points.

Among them, the illiterate person said with a puzzled face: "Is this sketch really worth so much money?" ”

Since there are people who don't know the goods, there must be people who know the goods: "If it is really Mr. Wei's authentic handiwork, I'm afraid it will definitely be more than one thousand taels." Nowadays, the literati and ink writers in the capital have respected the sketch to the point of no return, not long ago, a painting of Mr. Qianwei has flowed into the hands of today's saints several times, and even the saints have been crowned with the supreme honor of 'this painting is not like the world, this woman is a race fairy', and its value can be imagined. ”

The rich gentry hidden in the crowd, after listening to the discussions of the surrounding people, also came out and joined the ranks of the bargaining. These wealthy gentry are not interested in qinqi, calligraphy and painting, they are interested in the value of the interests contained in this painting, and after they buy it, they can sell it or keep it for appreciation, which is a good choice.

"I'll give you fifteen hundred taels of silver!"

"Little brother, Liu Zicheng in the south of Xiacheng, I am willing to pay two thousand taels of silver to buy this painting, and I also ask my little brother to complete it."

"Humph! Do you want to get it for two thousand taels of silver? Open your eyes and take a good look, this is the true work of Mr. Sketch Patriarch! If you don't have money, don't come out and join in the fun, just dodge! I'll give you two thousand five hundred taels! ”

After all, the rich gentry are the rich generation, and the sons are the second generation of the rich, and the pockets are not as solid as others, so their confidence is naturally weaker. In the end, he could only shake his head and withdraw from the first ranks of the bidding with a sigh.

With the addition of the wealthy gentry, the people present were more convinced of the true surname of Wei Hong's authentic works, and the news of Wei Hong's authentic works spread around the world. There are more and more high-rollers gathered around, and spending money is their style of doing things, and the price of sketches is rising for a while. And some people who got the news and were rushing here kept praying in their hearts to the gods that they should not sell the paintings, and that they must wait until they arrived.

"Five thousand taels ......"

"Seven thousand taels ......"

"Damn, Lao Tzu will pay 10,000 taels, I'll see who dares to rob me!" Just when the bidding was coming and going, a middle-aged man with a full beard and beige clothes roared very arrogantly. The sharp-eyed person recognized this person at a glance, he was a famous rich man in the capital, known as Ni Sanye. It is said that black and white have some relationship, and they are extremely well-connected, and no one dares to provoke him.

was yelled at by Ni Sanye, the scene was suddenly silent, and even the rich gentry could only sigh again and again, firstly, because they couldn't make so much money, no one had the courage, and secondly, this buddy was too well-connected and not easy to provoke. If you offend him by grabbing a painting, you will definitely have no good fruit to eat in the future.

Unexpectedly, Wei Hong never expected that a painting that he spent an hour casually painted would be sold for 10,000 taels of silver! At first, Wei Hong thought that with the value of his current sketches, his real work would survive with one thousand taels, and he never thought that it would be increased tenfold directly. On the contrary, now sketching can be said to be a divine skill worshiped by the literati and ink writers in the entire capital, and it is called a magic workmanship, which is not like the divine painting skills that exist in the world. And this painting is the first real work of Wei Hong to circulate on the market, whether it is from the perspective of market effect, or from the strength of publicity, or the value of the painting itself, it can be worth this number.

Wei Hong made a lot of money, and this Ni Sanye did not lose. No matter what year it is, no matter what it is, as long as it is hyped, the value will have a lot of room to increase, regardless of whether it is a bubble value or a real value, as long as it grows, it is a good thing. Now that the news that this painting has been sold for 10,000 taels will definitely quickly spread throughout the capital and even the entire Tang Dynasty. This kind of powerful publicity can make the value-added space of this painting infinitely expand, whether Ni Sanye treasures it himself, or transfers it later, it is profitable.

In addition, this painting is the third painting that Wei Hong has painted so far, and it is theoretically the third most valuable. If the paintings of Wan Niang and Li Xuanqing are put on the market, I am afraid that the price will be higher than that of this painting.
