"This time, I rented some inferior goods, and then spent some money to invite a few experts and scholars to package and promote, and the cost was recovered on the first day, and after two days on the news, the goods in our hands could rise by at least two percent!"

"Hehe, no way, the Chinese are easy to deceive, yes, continue to receive the goods, I will go to you for an interview in two days, okay!"

Ullens hung up the phone, looked around again, proudly straightened his suit, and returned to the hall in good spirits to continue his performance. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Hmph, dare to come to China to cheat money? Lao Tzu plays you to death! ”

It is only now that Xu Zhiyuan has listened to Ullens admit it himself, and he knows what the shameless face of the so-called international collector is?

Xu Zhiyuan left the venue and did not return to Zhiyuan's residence, but directly called Yan Huaming and went to Jiade to find him to continue to learn some insiders.

"Hey, brother, do you know the chaos in the art world?"

Yan Huaming looked at Xu Zhiyuan with a serious face, and said with a wry smile: "Since 2009, the fifth collection fever has started in China, and TV newspapers report the story of getting rich overnight every day, making people all over the country seem to be picking up leaks!" ”

"As a result, a lot of investors see the opportunity, buy low and sell high in the market, speculate and hoard, and some small auction houses without a principled bottom line help to abuse, and the whole atmosphere is smoky!"

Yan Huaming said bitterly: "Especially modern and modern artworks, which have a large number of surviving in the world, and the author's name has a relatively mass base, so it has become the hardest hit area of speculation." Such as Qi Baishi, Zhang Daqian, Xu Beihong and other modern high-yield calligraphers and painters, the price has been fried from hundreds of thousands in 09 to tens of millions, comparable to Qingming fine calligraphy and painting, too abnormal! ”

Xu Zhiyuan nodded, this is the fundamental reason why many big collectors do not agree with modern and modern artworks, collecting is to see the amount of the world, why is the Song and Yuan dynasties expensive? A piece of porcelain, a piece of calligraphy and painting, can go through thousands of years to today, itself is a miracle, naturally more expensive!

"Of course, I think it is quite true for ancient paintings and calligraphy, especially the Song and Yuan Dynasty paintings and calligraphy, which are rare in the world, and many of them are unique, once the real works appear, they are national treasures, so the treasure is naturally sought after, and the sky-high price can be understood."

Yan Huaming analyzed: "And the real collectors of Song and Yuan Dynasty paintings and calligraphy are generally big collectors, who only enter but do not leave, and they collect or serve as heirlooms for life, once they miss the opportunity, they may never see it again in their lifetime, which is very popular." ”

"But the so-called Chinese pop art in modern times, the bubble is too big! For example, Xu Beihong's "Ba People Drawing Water", the theme is a true record of the hard work of the people of Chongqing, known as one of Xu Beihong's most popular and the spirit of the times of the four masterpieces, the work was exhibited in 1938, that is, it was hailed as a rare work in the past 500 years.

Yan Huaming recalled: "I was also present at the Baoli auction, and the "Ba People Drawing Water" was unveiled with a starting price of 35 million yuan, and some buyers directly bid 60 million yuan, which was less than 1 minute, and the price exceeded 100 million yuan. Five buyers from inside and outside the market competed fiercely on the million-dollar ladder. After more than 30 rounds of competition, it finally won the hammer with 171 million yuan, setting a new auction record for Xu Beihong's personal works, breaking the auction record of modern Chinese calligraphy and painting just created by the "Long March", and setting a world record for the auction of new Chinese paintings. ”

"Qi Baishi and Zhang Daqian are frequent visitors to the 100 million yuan club, and every time there are works to set a new record, I personally think their artistic attainments are very high, but they can't be compared with the ancient four kings and four monks, the eight mountain people, etc., let alone the famous artists of the Song and Yuan dynasties."

"They are truly boutique and can be recognized by the market, there are bubbles but not many. It is estimated that Qi Baishi has more than 30,000 works in the world, and Zhang Daqian is also a lot, after all, they are professional painters, who make a living by selling paintings, and there are few natural boutiques and many ordinary ones, which is also the reason why you take a fancy to them as the object of speculation. ”

Yan Huaming is the witness of the 30-year auction process, the most vocal, today to Xu Zhiyuan combing: "When it comes to the biggest bubble is the so-called new art in the world, it seems to me that it is completely imitating the performance art of the former Soviet Union or Europe and the United States, and it is just a matter of imitating the performance art of the former Soviet Union or Europe and the United States!" It's still plausible to learn, only scratching the surface! ”

"Twenty years ago, Western investors took a fancy to our Chinese market, bought a batch of them, and then publicized and hyped them through various means, mainly Ullens."

"A few years ago, when the time was ripe, they began to ship frantically, and let the Chinese take over by themselves, such as what F4 in the art world now, obscure ten years ago to tens of millions now, is simply a naked scam! In the past two years, the market has been tightened, and their things have often been auctioned, and even the most powerful and professional modern art exhibition in Hong Kong Jiashide can't hold up! This shows that it has no real value space and is not worth collecting! ”

After listening to Yan Huaming's point-to-point criticism, Xu Zhiyuan agreed very much, the so-called modern art is eager for quick success and quick profit, without real essence, and naturally after the hype, it will end dismally.

Yan Huaming poured tea for Xu Zhiyuan, and since he said it today, he will reveal it to the end at one time: "After the market has been hot in recent years, a large number of black sheep have appeared!" The whole industry is messed up, so that the real old collectors are distressed, and they can't buy the treasures they like at all. ”

"2012 can be said to be the shady year of the Chinese art market, a large number of shady scenes in the Chinese art market have been exposed to the heavy blow of the Chinese art market, resulting in the size of the Chinese art market shrinking by 50% in 2012, and many behind-the-scenes masterminds have been exposed!"

Yan Huaming stood up and said solemnly: ""The huge amount of black money and the money laundering of black gold at home and abroad are the initiators of the sky-high bubble in the Chinese art market, according to the statistics of the International Monetary Fund, China's total annual money laundering accounts for 2~5% of the total economic output, and China has 1~2.5 trillion money laundering needs every year. ”

"After the risk of traditional money laundering methods skyrocketed, China's money laundering quickly shifted from financial institutions to more hidden money laundering channels such as art, cultural relics, antiques, mahogany, jade and jade, and since 2005, the price of Chinese art has skyrocketed due to the flood of money laundering."

"The handling fee for money laundering through art will not exceed 10%, generally around 5%, and the actual transaction price of art is part of the money laundering fee, generally within 3%, in order to control the cost of money laundering fee, the use of art money laundering must increase the price of money laundered art by 30~100 times to trade, of course, the higher the price of art, the lower the cost of money laundering fee."

"So the prices of Chinese art, artifacts and antiques have been laundered since 2005 and have risen by tens to hundreds of times. In order to control the cost of money laundering fees, the use of art to launder money inevitably involves tax avoidance and evasion. The tax rate on domestic art transactions is high, and in order to avoid taxes, the first and second waves of money-laundering sky-high artworks have been manufactured in New York and Hong Kong. ”

Yan Huaming is a personal experiencer, at that time Jiade was also at the core of the whirlpool, deeply touched: "The tipping point of the tax audit is that Beijing Noah and other art logistics companies were investigated by the customs, and the customs followed the list of customers of the art logistics company, so Zeng Fanzhi, Yu Deyao, Wu Jin, Huang Yujie, Wang Yaohui, He Juxing, Liu Yiqian, the bigwigs in the art world and the collection industry were investigated or detained by the customs one after another. ”

Internationally, the detention and investigation of Nils, a German art logistics businessman, has attracted the attention of media such as the New York Times and the German Die Welt. In this tax inspection turmoil, the two largest auction houses in the world, Su Fubi and Jiashide, were also required to cooperate in the investigation process. ”

"Because of this, art money laundering has been greatly reduced, leading to a massive contraction of the Chinese art auction market in 2012. Some sky-high artworks that have been sold in auction houses do not dare to be finally delivered, such as the sensational 420 million Qi Baishi's "Pine and Cypress Gaolitu", which is not allowed to be handed over in the end, because of the unclean family background of its trading party. ”

There is also a plagiarism scandal a few years ago, Zeng Fanzhi, who was deeply involved in the plagiarism scandal "Fanzhi painting the leopard is the dragon and the tiger", was caught in the scandal again, and Sina Weibo exposed that Zeng Fanzhi was investigated by the customs for suspected tax evasion and tax evasion in the New York auction house many times. Zeng Fanzhi, who was called "Brother Plagiarism" by netizens, has the nickname of "Brother Lifting". ”

Zeng Fanzhi's lifting hype circuit map was sorted out by netizens, why is he keen on charity? Because charity can successfully inflate the price of the painting and reduce the risk of tax evasion and tax evasion and customs investigation. What kind of good heirloom can such an artist say? ”
