210. A painting in which meaning transcends value

If he knew that the other party would not follow, he would stop the malicious bidding in advance, and he would not spend far more than the market price to smash this thing into his own hands.

But the auction was notarized, and every time he shouted the price, it was an incidental legal effect, and if he wanted to repay the debt, he would not only lose hundreds of thousands of dollars, but also his own credit.

So, this guy had no choice but to pay the money and get the painting.

Because he didn't know much about Chinese calligraphy and painting, he specially found an expert for identification, and then prepared to throw it in his private collection warehouse.

And the wonderful story begins after the arrival of the experts.

After expert appraisal, this ancient painting in the middle of the Qing Dynasty that was auctioned by a wealthy man for 100,000 US dollars turned out to be a sub-splicing painting.

Usually, in this case, most of the time when a work is seriously damaged, find a painter whose painting style is close to the original, splice a part of the paper, and then refill the work according to the previous work.

Although this situation is not a fake, because the original painting has been seriously damaged, it is naturally not worth the price of the original painting.

It can be said that this is the second bad news that this rich man has received in a day.

The first piece of bad news was when he bought a calligraphy and painting that was estimated to cost up to $20,000 for $150,000.

Now that it's coming out again, the price has to be discounted a few more times, and I'm afraid no one wants a few thousand dollars.

The rich man was so ashamed and annoyed that he almost tore the painting on the spot.

However, the next story is more exciting, and the plot is reversed here.

The expert was a lover of painting, and a true connoisseur of the arts, especially with a deep understanding of Oriental ink painting.

After discovering that the painting was a splicing, he deduced the subsequent splicing painters and their identities through the style of painting.

After such a careful study, a shocking conclusion was studied.

The follower added a little element to the original painting, which is a dragonfly.

It can be said that this dragonfly is very well added, vivid, and completely integrated into the original painting.

If it weren't for the expert's very careful observation, his experience and his unique vision, he would not have noticed this.

This dragonfly, which looks under a magnifying glass, has a clear texture and is lifelike.

Then, through several other clues, the identity of the later stitching painter was also deduced, that is, the master of modern Chinese painting - Qi Baishi!

This discovery directly made this painting, which was almost folded in half a few times, directly sit on the cupola rocket, reaching an astonishing figure.

This expert directly put down his arrogance, and the price of this painting is unpredictable.

It's a priceless treasure, and the only people who are qualified to judge its price are the ones who end up getting it.

Now it's worth $150,000, but if this rich man wants to put it up for auction, more than a million is almost a certainty.

The significance of this painting has even surpassed its actual value.

First of all, it is a work done by two people who have almost crossed a generation, one of which is Qi Baishi.

Secondly, this is also the only pair of Qi Baishi's splicing on someone else's original manuscript found in the world so far......

After reading this news, Zhou Ping hated it even more.

The article was reported in great detail, and it was obvious that the rich man spent public relations expenses and asked people to promote it himself.

It can be seen between the lines that this real estate developer who has taken shit luck is in a smug mood at the top.

Why wasn't this guy so excited that he died of a heart attack!

It is not difficult for Zhou Ping to imagine that this painting will definitely appear in another influential and larger auction in the near future.

At that time, the price of the transaction, needless to say, is definitely a sky-high price.

And this sky-high price is very likely to be paid by a heroic Chinese patriotic businessman.

Shet, this black-hearted, black-hearted, black-hearted, black-eyed bastard!

It seems that the next reincarnation will need to go to the auction in person!

Thinking of this, Zhou Ping suddenly raised his eyebrows, and a more feasible idea sprouted in his mind.

If you decided to buy this painting, why not buy something else?

After the last investment, Kailing has almost a huge amount of about three million.

In addition, if you borrow a few million from Vic first, you can really buy all the things.

The money thing, for the current Zhou Ping, is just a string of numbers, and he is not afraid of not being able to pay it back at all.

As long as time continues to restart, as long as you pay a little attention to the financial news, isn't the money coming?

Wait, what do you think, what do you want to borrow? Isn't there a lot of extra money!

A smile appeared on the corner of Zhou Ping's mouth.

In the evening, everyone gathered around the table, eating hot pot and drinking wine, and the students also expressed their gratitude to Zhou Ping and Yu Junyang for their generosity in the past two days.

After all, this villa used for accommodation and parties was rented by Yu Junyang, and the expenses for these two days were basically paid by Zhou Ping and Yu Junyang.

After tonight, tomorrow most people will disperse and return to their places where they work, study and live.

The next time we meet, I don't know what year or month it will be.

During the banquet, the faint sadness of parting enveloped everyone's hearts, and the time seemed to return to the day before graduating from high school.

Putting down the wine glass, Zhou Ping couldn't help but glance at everyone.

A few years have passed, and everyone has changed more or less, although they are no longer young, but they can vaguely see some of the original shadows.

"Students, let's toast to this gathering, and I wish you all the best and happiness in your future life!"

The same people as the day before yesterday were eating the same hot pot, but after the end, everyone's mood was a little heavier.

In the end, Zhou Ping and Luo Manyun played a song "Farewell", and everyone sang in chorus to end the dinner.

This night, Zhou Ping slept soundly, dreaming that he had returned to the carefree high school years, when Luo Manyun was still very young.

But Zhou Ping, who went back with his memory, was not as shy as he was at the beginning, and bravely chose to confess, and the two applied for the same school and came together hand in hand......

After slowly opening his eyes and adapting to the dim environment, Zhou Ping looked at the person next to him.

Xu Yue, who was still pink, breathed a sigh of relief.

Last time, the timeline was pushed after eating hot pot, and he was afraid that this time it would be pushed again.

If there is another woman pushing time in her bed, no matter who it is, it seems a little embarrassing.

Besides, Zhou Ping has already made up his mind to send back those precious cultural relics that belong to Huaxia in one go, if time pushes it, wouldn't it be cheaper for those black-hearted foreigners.

Especially the real estate agent who took the shit luck.

Because of this matter, Zhou Ping was still a little uneasy.

After all, even if the timeline is really promoted, Xu Yue, a little girl who eats the marrow and knows the taste, as if she can't feed herself, may still appear in her bed.

So, he picked up his phone again and looked at it.
