Chapter 4 Selling Paintings

Now the four paintings in the travel bag Lin Daxin cost a full 1,000 taels of silver.

One day, Lin Daxin was resting at the construction site of modern time and space, and he traveled back to the time and space of 1892, and originally thought of the place to sell antiques in Weihai Acropolis, get a few antiques, and sell them in modern time and space!

Walking in the bazaar of Weihai Acropolis, I suddenly saw a person who looked like a scholar, squatting on the street, with a white cloth in front of him, and four scrolls on the white cloth.

Lin Daxin asked curiously, this scholar said that he was a showman, and his family was waiting for money to save his life, so he could only take out the four authentic works of Gu Kaizhi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty that had been passed down for hundreds of years and sell them.

It's really fake, Lin Daxin knows Gu Kaizhi, and he has never heard of Gu Kaizhi's authentic works handed down, but Lin Daxin looked at the four paintings, the paintings were really beautiful, and asked Xiucai how much silver he wanted, Xiucai gritted his teeth and said that Lin Daxin would take 1000 taels of paintings.

Lin Daxin didn't bargain, looking at Xiucai's reddened eyes staring at the four paintings, this may really be because the Xiucai's family was in a hurry to use money, so he reluctantly took out the ancestral four paintings and sold them.

In the end, Lin Daxin spent 1,000 taels of silver to buy four paintings, and the 1,000 taels of silver he bought for the paintings were thousands of feet of silver that Lin Daxin spent nearly 200,000 yuan in modern time and space.

Otherwise, according to Lin Daxin's 200 taels of silver in the Qing Dynasty, he couldn't afford to buy these four paintings even if he encountered them.

Although that Xiucai swore that these four paintings were the authentic works of Gu Kaizhi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Lin Daxin would not identify them, but when he thought about them, more than 100 years later, they could be regarded as antiques!

From the Internet, Lin Daxin learned that antiques are very valuable in modern time and space, even if they are not Gu Kaizhi's authentic works, and they can't be compensated, otherwise Lin Daxin would not be ready to buy a few antiques in modern time and space. So Lin Daxin bought 200,000 yuan of unmarked silver bars from a gold store in modern time and space, and bought the four paintings.

Lin Daxin, who was in the room of the five-star hotel, took out the mobile phone in his travel bag, found a number stored on the mobile phone and dialed it, and soon the mobile phone was connected!

A hearty voice came from the receiver of the mobile phone, "Hey! Who is it? ”

"Boss Wang, I'm Xiao Lin who sold Jade Guanyin pendants in your store a while ago!" Lin Daxin shouted into the microphone.

Boss Wang on the other side of the phone was startled by Lin Daxin's loud voice, and quickly moved the phone away from his ears, "Xiaolin, I remember you!" It was Zhang Guangfu's boss who introduced me here! Is there anything wrong with you? In addition, I don't need to speak so loudly, I'm only in my forties, and I'm still young! I don't have my ears back! Ha ha! ”

Lin Daxin scratched his head embarrassedly here, every time he used his mobile phone, he always unconsciously amplified his voice, and always felt that the voice was so low that he couldn't hear it on the other side, so he lowered his voice and said: "Boss Wang, I have a few precious ancient paintings that I want to sell!" The value is relatively large! I wonder if Boss Wang is interested? ”

"Oh! Ancient paintings with relatively large value! Or four! Of course interested! I'm right in the store right now! Draw it in your hand! You take the painting to my shop, I happen to be in the store, and we'll study it when you get there! Boss Wang's voice on the phone was a little excited, you must know that Lin Daxin sold the jade Guanyin pendant in his place, and he earned 800,000 yuan by Boss Wang, which is still Boss Wang's not in the jewelry business, and transferred the jade Guanyin pendant to a friend who does jewelry business.

For Boss Wang, who runs an antique shop, antiques are his forte, and he can also earn greater value.

"That's good! Boss Wang, I'll bring the painting to your store in a moment! After finishing speaking, Lin Daxin hung up the phone, left the hotel with his backpack, and took a taxi to an antique store called Jubaoju.

This treasure house is located on a bustling pedestrian street, with two floors and more than 300 square meters each, and is the largest antique store in Weihai City.

Lin Daxin walked into Jubaoju, and a middle-aged man in a suit saw Lin Daxin, greeted him, and said with a smile on his face: "Welcome!" Welcome! What kind of treasure did Kobayashi bring this time! Upstairs please! ”

"Okay! Boss Wang, please! ”

Lin Daxin followed Boss Wang upstairs and came to an office, where there were two old men with glasses, who were appraisers of Boss Wang's antique shop.

"Kobayashi, take out the painting and take a look!" Boss Wang said while putting on white gloves, and the two old appraisers also put on the gloves.

Lin Daxin took the backpack off his back, opened the bag, and took out four long cardboard boxes in turn.

After Lin Daxin unfolded the four paintings and put them on the big desk in the office, after Boss Wang and the two old appraisers carefully looked at the four paintings several times, the three of them raised their heads and their faces became solemn.

Boss Wang asked in a trembling voice at the two old appraisers, "Master Liu, Master Ma, it should be all ...... It's all genuine, right? ”

Although Lin Daxin would not identify the authenticity of the paintings, he still said with certainty: "Boss Wang, these four paintings are the authentic works of Gu Kaizhi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty!" It's priceless! ”

The two old appraisers looked at each other, and after making eye contact, they both nodded, and the appraiser surnamed Liu said: "Boss, these four paintings are Gu Kaizhi's, and Lao Ma and I both think they are genuine!" It's amazing! ”

You must know that none of Gu Kaizhi's works have been handed down to the world, and what is now handed down is the ancient copy of the Tang and Song dynasties.

Now there are four authentic paintings of Gu Kaizhi here, which is a big event that has caused a sensation in the collecting world!

Lin Daxin was relieved when he saw the appearance of the three people, it seems that these four paintings should be genuine! Now in modern time and space, there is no shortage of money in a short time!

Boss Wang and the two appraisers took a closer look at the four paintings before putting them back in the cardboard box.

Boss Wang looked at the four cardboard boxes, swallowed his saliva, and said with a wry smile to Lin Daxin: "Brother! Where did you get these four Gu Kaizhi paintings? ”

Lin Daxin said without hesitation: "Ancestral!" ”

"Dude! These are all national treasure-level treasures! It's like you said, priceless! It's just a painting, brother, I can't take it down! These four paintings should be auctioned at Sotheby's or Christie's! Boss Wang said with emotion, and then looked at Lin Daxin without saying anything.

Lin Daxin frowned: "But I urgently need cash now!" In fact, Lin Daxin also thought about auctioning these four paintings, which might make more money, but the original time and space were only less than two years before the outbreak of the First Sino-Japanese War, and the auction house procedures were complicated, and the auction took a lot of time.

And Lin Daxin did not want to sell the four paintings to foreigners.

If you want to change the direction of the war and change the fate of your father who died on the battlefield, you must use the technology and materials of modern time and space.

Get into the original time and space, and enhance the strength of Beiyang and Japan to fight the war from all aspects.

When Boss Wang heard Lin Daxin say that he was in a hurry to use money, his eyes flashed, and he said with some excitement: "Brother! I won't tell you! I have an auction house in Weihai City, and it's not very famous! But my old Wang has been in the antiques industry for so many years, and I know a lot of powerful bosses and collectors! Definitely all big tyrants! If my brother can trust me, give me five days, and I'll be able to hold a special auction! My brother's paintings must not be sold cheaply! As for the handling fee, our brother will discuss it again! Dude, you see? ”

When Lin Daxin heard that it would only take five days, he immediately nodded and said, "Boss Wang is my Uncle Zhang's friend, I can trust you!" The four paintings will be handed over to Boss Wang's auction house! ”

Hearing that Lin Daxin agreed to hand over the four paintings to his auction house, Boss Wang, who was in his forties, jumped up happily on the spot, and his smiling face turned into flowers.

In the end, the two agreed that Boss Wang would only charge 5% of the handling fee for the four paintings, but this 5%, according to the value of the four paintings, is also a large amount!

Lin Daxin also told Boss Wang that although he needed to sell his paintings for money, he didn't want these four paintings to fall into the hands of foreigners.

Boss Wang patted his chest and promised Lin Daxin, not to mention that he would not find foreign buyers, even if there were foreigners, these local tyrants in China could not let these four paintings fall into the hands of foreigners.

After the two discussed the auction, Boss Wang asked his driver to drive the car and sent Lin Daxin back to the five-star hotel.

Before the auction, Boss Wang invited four researchers from the Palace Museum to re-appraise Lin Daxin's four paintings. Four researchers from the Palace Museum excitedly confirmed that the four paintings are the authentic works of Gu Kaizhi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty!

The four researchers of the Palace Museum also repeatedly persuaded Lin Daxin to donate the four paintings to the country, and the country will definitely reward Lin Daxin!

However, Lin Daxin didn't buy oil and salt, and he was determined to sell the four paintings for money, and the four white-haired Palace Museum researchers had to sigh at the paintings!

Boss Wang is indeed well-connected, coupled with the sensational effect of Gu Kaizhi's authentic works, more than 200 wealthy people and big collectors from all over the country came to the auction, and the last four paintings were auctioned at sky-high prices.

After removing Boss Wang's handling fee, Lin Daxin's bank card added nearly 1.7 billion yuan.
