"That's right!" Zhou Ping nodded.

Luo Zhixin lowered his head, picked up the album and carefully observed the dragonfly, and then said with a shocked face.

"You say that this dragonfly is actually the handwriting of Mr. Qi Baishi, but the introduction clearly says that it is a silk copy from the middle of the Qing Dynasty, and there are remnants ......."

Zhou Ping said very calmly: "It is not wrong that this painting was originally a fragment of the middle Qing Dynasty, and its painter should be Zeng Yandong." ”

Mr. Qi learned from Zeng Yandong, so he not only completed the entire painting scroll, but also added a dragonfly to the original painting, which can be described as the finishing touch. ”

Luo Zhixin was amazed, and carefully observed the brushwork and style of the whole painting, and looked at the dragonflies on the painting again and again.

After a while, Luo Zhixin sighed deeply, and said with admiration on his face: "Hearing you say this, take a good look, it is really the handwriting of Qiru Jushi! ”

"No wonder you kept raising the price yesterday, it turned out that it wasn't to disgust people, but really to take it, it's ridiculous that we people still think you don't know how to do it, and you will be pitted!"

"Tsk, Mr. Zhou's eyes are like a torch, it is said that the old man Baishi has never painted for others in his life, but this time he cooperated with his teacher Zeng Yandong, which is simply a priceless treasure, and it is hard to find. ”

Zhou Ping took a sip of tea, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.

It seems that this Luo Fuhao is also a knowledgeable art investor, especially in the area of Chinese painting.

I just mentioned a name, and people came to this figure in the middle of the Qing Dynasty easily, like a few treasures, which shows its profound heritage.

Zhou Ping smiled quietly: "If I tell you that I don't really like any antique collections, I don't know if Mr. Luo will believe it?"

Luo Zhixin was obviously stunned for a moment, then nodded lightly, and said with some sighs: "Of course Luo believes it! Mr. Zhou has already played the collection to this extent, and it must be a lot less fun." ”

Zhou Ping obviously didn't expect Luo Zhixin to think like this, but he didn't explain too much, and simply acquiesced.

It was impossible for him to tell Luo Zhixin that he had the ability to reset time, so these artworks that were announced to the public had no secret to him at all.

"Mr. Zhou, I myself am also very fond of the works of modern and contemporary Chinese painters, and I have also collected many masterpieces of famous artists. Qi Baishi's shrimp, Zhang Daqian's monkey, Li Keran's cow, Xu Beihong's horse, Huang Zhou's donkey, Li Kuchan's eagle ......"

Speaking of this, Luo Zhixin suddenly paused, and then said: "Mr. Zhou, I have a reluctant request, I don't know if I have the opportunity to take a look at the authentic work of this "Dragonfly Standing Lotus Picture" again, and open my eyes. ”

Zhou Ping had actually guessed Luo Zhixin's intentions, and spread his hands and said: "I'm really sorry, Mr. Luo may not know that the batch of Chinese artworks I bought have been shipped back to my hometown today, and I am going to entrust my classmate Miss Luo Manyun Luo to donate them to the local museum." ”

"Ah!" Luo Zhixin exclaimed.

Then he reacted again, and hurriedly said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm a little out of shape." ”

Zhou Ping smiled lightly, not seeming to care.

Thumbs up, Luo Zhixin also had to admire: "Generous, really generous! This painting of Mr. Qi Baishi's "Dragonfly Standing Lotus" alone may not be worth 200,000 US dollars, even if it is 2 million, it will not be able to beat it!"

"It's not a secret, in fact, when you told the truth just now, Luo originally wanted to ask Mr. Zhou if he could cut his love. Because my father especially admired Mr. Qi's flowers, birds, grasses and insects, he especially loved dragonflies. Next month, his old man wanted to give him a gift, but unfortunately he never found a suitable one. ”

"My father has always been keen on charity, and hopes to send back our precious Chinese artworks abroad. I have a reluctant request if I can. ”

Zhou Ping raised his eyebrows, raised his hand and said, "Mr. Luo, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

"I want to donate a part of Chinese artworks back to China on my father's 80th birthday, if I can, I hope to donate with Mr. Zhou's batch of Chinese artworks. ”

After that, Luo Zhixin looked at Zhou Ping expectantly.

Hearing this, Zhou Ping didn't think about it, and immediately agreed, anyway, it was all sent, and it didn't matter if it was sent early or late.

Luo Zhixin also said that half a month later, there will be a charity auction at Christie's in Hong Kong, and he hopes that Zhou Ping can participate together if he is free.

Of course, by the way, I also helped him to buy as many high-quality products as possible, so as to make the scale of this donation a little grander.

Of course, Luo Zhixin also said tactfully that he actually has some concerns about the fate of these precious Chinese artworks.

Instead of donating to a local museum, it would be better for everyone to contribute money and find a place to build a large private museum.

In fact, Zhou Ping himself had more or less concerns about this, so he asked Luo Manyun to deal with the batch of Chinese artworks he donated.

In the early years, it was revealed that some museum staff were full of personal pockets and did a lot of dirty deeds of privately reselling museum collections with fake and real things.

No wonder overseas Chinese like Luo Zhixin are so worried.

However, Zhou Ping really hadn't thought about establishing a private museum before.

Now that a rich Chinese man like Luo Zhixin has taken the initiative to put it forward, he is a little tempted.

For him, making money is not a problem.

Since overseas Chinese like Luo Zhixin have such ideas, of course there is no reason for him to refuse, so he also agreed.

Luo Zhixin obviously really likes these, otherwise he would not have such profound knowledge and such enthusiasm.

He even said that he was going to go to China in the near future to enjoy Zhou Ping's "Dragonfly Standing Lotus".

For this, of course, Zhou Ping would not refuse, and directly informed Luo Zhixin of Luo Manyun's contact information.

In order to express his gratitude, Luo Zhixin warmly invited Zhou Ping and Xu Yue to enjoy a three-star Michelin meal famous in Beverly Hills.

After eating and drinking, Luo Zhixin solemnly handed a gilded business card to Zhou Ping and invited him to participate in the Christie's charity auction half a month later, as well as his father's 80th birthday.

At this moment, a young woman dressed in a professional OL suit, a short skirt with thighs, and sexy white thighs came to Luo Zhixin's side, leaned down, and whispered a few words in his ear.

Zhou Ping's eyes subconsciously glanced at this woman's legs, although they were not as good as Jenny, they were not far behind.

Hehe, there is something to do for the secretary, nothing to do for the secretary, this sentence is really not groundless! Zhou Ping muttered secretly. 8)
