The back door of my house can last until the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 14 Re-identification of calligraphy and painting
"The paintings vary in size and value. Generally speaking, if it is an authentic work by Tang Bohu, the larger the painting, the higher the price.

Brother, this painting is about two square feet. Your painting is not too damaged, and it is well preserved. With my guarantee, even if the price is not high, it is more than enough to sell for 40 million. I will only Say low, don't say high.

There was an auction house before, and a similar pair was auctioned, and the price was about the same. "

Zhang Moqian frowned, and seriously appraised Sun Jie.

The price of Tang Bohu's paintings is very high, but it also depends on the situation.

The size of the frame, the condition of preservation, and the content of the painting all have a great influence.

As for the most expensive painting, there is a saying on the Internet: On September 2013, 9, Sotheby's auction company in New York held an auction of classical Chinese paintings.

Among them, Tang Yin, a famous painter of the Ming Dynasty, started auctioning at US$3 million for a hanging scroll "Waterfall Viewing on Lushan Mountain". After 120 rounds of price comparisons, it was finally sold at a sky-high price of US$5.9 million or about RMB 35.9 billion, setting a new world record for Tang Yin's painting and calligraphy auction. .

However, when searching on the website of Sotheby's Auction Company, I couldn't find the work "Viewing Waterfall on Lushan Mountain" at all, let alone calligraphy and painting works worth more than [-] million yuan.

In other words, this statement is very likely to be false.

Which is Tang Yin's most expensive painting?The most credible one was on June 2013, 6, in the 3 spring auction of "Ancient Calligraphy and Painting Night Show" in the capital Poly.

A work by Tang Yin started at 2400 million yuan. After 40 bids, it was sold by buyers in the venue for 6200 million yuan. The transaction price reached 7130 million yuan with commission, which also set a new record for Tang Yin's works.

Among them, the commission is as high as 15%.

It's true that Tang Yin's paintings are valuable, but they are also very watery.

The auction commission is ridiculously high, plus various taxes and management fees, the price will naturally rise.

Zhang Moqian introduced the seller to Sun Jie in private, so he didn't need to go to the auction and save a high commission. This price was within the normal range.

"Fuck!"

Sun Jie thought secretly.

Zhang Moqian's performance was relatively easy-going, and coupled with his strong background and identity, Sun Jie didn't have much doubts. After all, he was new to this business and didn't know much about it yet.

As for searching online, Sun Jie had diarrhea last time, and when he searched online, he was found to have stomach cancer. Sun Jie was so frightened that he rushed to the hospital, but the result was ordinary gastroenteritis, which was useless to worry about.

Since then, Sun-jae has not believed in the Internet.

"More than 100 million?" Sun Jie took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and asked again: "If I sell now, how long will it take to find a buyer?"

I don't know how many times the price of a worthless glass mirror is changed.

Is there such a fast money business in the world?
The money owed is now written off.

Next month, he has to pay back his second uncle's money, 5 yuan. He is in a hurry to ask for this money, so he has to pay it back first.

The money owed to the bank is a total of 15 yuan for the car loan, [-] yuan has been repaid, and the remaining [-] yuan will be paid in one lump sum.

I owed the supplier 8 yuan, and settled the arrears of rent in one go, and then renew the rent by the way.

There are other relatives who add up, there are about [-] to [-], and they have also returned it.

Take a look at the time and buy a bigger house.

"You can earn so much from a worthless mirror just by flipping your hands. The speed of getting money is faster than stealing money. If you dump some hundred-year-old ginseng, rough jadeite and so on in the future, your assets will rise in no time!" Sun Jie kept thinking in his heart.

Zhang Moqian drank his tea and said, "Actually, the antique business is very risky. Although the money comes in quickly, if you miss it, you can easily get rich overnight, but how can it be so simple?
Let me put it bluntly. This business is full of moisture. When you buy it, the price may be very high, but if you sell it out, the price will shrink, or even be halved.

Except for those national treasures and things of celebrities and capable people, most of the other antiques that are circulated in the market look like this.

If you don't believe what I'm saying, you can go to the bank and ask the difference between an antique mortgage and a real estate mortgage. "

What Zhang Moqian said is indeed very reasonable. Some things look very expensive, but no one buys them.

The price is there, it does look good, and the stuff is good, but no one takes it.

What good is a high price if no one takes over?
"What the old man said is very true, what he said is very true. By the way, I still have two pictures, one is Wen Zhengming's calligraphy, and the other is Xu Wei's painting. Do you have time today? If you have time, Then I'll bring these two calligraphy and paintings over?" Sun Jie looked at Zhang Moqian.

Zhang Moqian was drinking tea, and was almost choked by Sun Jie's words.

Hastily put down the teacup in his hand, covered his mouth and nose with his right hand, and coughed a few times.

After slowing down, he looked at Sun Jie in disbelief: "You still have Wen Zhengming's writing? You even have Xu Wei's painting? Young people, young people are awesome!"

If this was said by someone else, Zhang Moqian would only think that he was bragging.

Just now, the young man took out an authentic handwriting of Tang Bohu, acting very easy-going, as if he definitely knew it was an authentic handwriting.

Now he said very calmly that he still has a calligraphy by Wen Zhengming and a painting by Xu Wei.

"I have time anytime, and I can come before nine o'clock in the evening!" Zhang Moqian calmed down and said.

Sun Jie nodded, installed his painting, and went downstairs.

Zhang Moqian followed behind him, and when he went downstairs, Zhang Moqian opened the rolling door and sent him out.

Sun Jie drove the pickup truck and gradually walked away.Watching Sun Jie leave, Zhang Moqian's face was full of emotion.

It is really unbelievable that an ordinary-looking young man was able to produce three precious calligraphy and paintings.

Just as he was about to turn around and walk into the small shop, a horn sounded from behind him.

Looking back, a familiar black car parked in the parking space where the pickup truck was just now.

Zhang Moqian's eyes lit up instantly, and he greeted him with a smile.

A 60-year-old old man stepped out of the car. His hair was dyed black and bright, and his face had few wrinkles. He looked very well maintained.

The old man dressed very casually, in casual clothes, and didn't care about anything at all.

With a faint smile on his face, he looked at Zhang Moqian who was standing at the door of the store, and said with a smile, "Brother Zhang, what are you doing here? Were you not in the store just now?"

Zhang Moqian went up to meet him, and said with a smile: "I sent a person out just now, and I saw you just as I was about to go in. What's the matter here today?"

The person who came was Zhang Moqian’s friend, who had been with Zhang Moqian for more than 30 years. His name was Liu Jianghe. He was an old professor at Northwest University of Science and Technology, a doctoral supervisor, the dean of the second-level college, and the vice president of the school, specializing in mechanical engineering.

Zhang Moqian used to be a visiting professor in the History Department of Northwest University of Science and Technology. The two had known each other for a long time. This Liu Jianghe liked history very much, so he happened to be able to get along with Zhang Moqian.

"Looking at what you said, it's as if I have nothing to do and can't come to your place." Liu Jianghe joked with a smile.

"Haha, yes, let's go, let's go in and talk!" Zhang Moqian walked in with Liu Jianghe.

When they came to the second floor, Zhang Moqian and Liu Jianghe sat where they had just been.

There were tea sets on the table that hadn't been cleaned up yet, and Liu Jianghe immediately understood that someone had been here just now, and he had a good relationship with Zhang Moqian.

If it is someone who comes to appraise antique calligraphy and painting, under normal circumstances, they will not be brought to the second floor.

Now that he has been brought to the second floor, it proves that this person must have a good relationship with Zhang Moqian.

Just now he said that he sent someone away, what kind of person could make him condescend to send him out of the door?This kind of thing is rare, Liu Jianghe suddenly became interested.

After sitting down, looking at Zhang Moqian who was packing up his things, Liu Jianghe asked, "Look at your posture, did you have a distinguished guest just now?"

Clean up all the tea sets on the table, wash them, and put them back on.

"It can be regarded as a distinguished guest, he is here for the first time!" Zhang Moqian started to boil water and replied at the same time.

Liu Jianghe became even more curious. A distinguished guest is a distinguished guest. If one counts, it is a bit intriguing.

"Brother Zhang, there is something in your words, do we brothers still care about these? If you have anything to say, just say it, what a sloppy eye!" Liu Jianghe pretended to be angry.

"Hahaha, look at your quick temper. It's been so many years, and it hasn't changed at all!" Zhang Moqian laughed a few words, and began to explain, telling all the reasons and consequences of what happened just now.

After Zhang Moqian finished explaining the cause and effect, Liu Jianghe frowned, his face full of doubts.

"A young man, who looks very ordinary, actually has Tang Bohu's authentic handwriting, and you still suspect that Tang Bohu's authentic handwriting is handed down from his family.

You also speculate that this person has an extraordinary background, and there must be more than this calligraphy and painting in his home?What you said, there is nothing unique about each item, but when they are connected together, there are many contradictions.

How can someone who can produce Tang Bohu's authentic works be an ordinary person?Listening to what you said, I don't think it's right! "

Liu Jianghe said suspiciously.

People in science and engineering have very serious rational thinking. In their view, no matter what happens, there are corresponding logic and rules.

These logics and rules are mutually explainable, and what Zhang Moqian said has no logic at all, or even any logic at all.

How ordinary can an ordinary boy who can produce Tang Bohu's authentic works be?
"I don't know what's going on specifically, it's the first time I've seen him today, anyway, that's what happened, that's all.

Okay, let's not talk about him.You are a busy person, you have a lot of things to do every day, this time you finally come to my place, we brothers, we have to catch up on the old days! "Zhang Moqian stopped worrying about the question just now, and brought up another topic with a smile.

Although he was curious about the young man Zhang Moqian was talking about, he still kept this matter in his heart.

Liu Jianghe took out a moisture-proof paper bag the size of a baby's palm from his coat pocket, put it under his nose and smelled it, and handed it to Zhang Moqian with a satisfied face.

"This is the last time I went to the capital for a meeting. I paid a lot of money to buy good tea there!" Liu Jianghe pointed to the paper bag in Zhang Moqian's hand, full of interest.

Zhang Moqian's eyes lit up in an instant, he opened the paper bag and smelled it: "Smell, it's really fragrant!"

"I have refrained from drinking this tea and kept it until now. I came to you today because I was thinking of my brother and I drank this bag of tea." Liu Jianghe was like a child showing off.

"Hey!"

Zhang Moqian patted his thigh and said with a smile: "In this case, I have to show my housekeeping skills. This modern tea set is a little inappropriate. After drinking tea for so many years, I have to show you my true craftsmanship! "

Zhang Moqian put the bag of tea on the table, removed the modern tea set that had been arranged on the table, and replaced it with a simple set of tea sets.

He got busy and started making tea.

His technique was very fast, and within a short time, a strong fragrance filled the room.

"Not bad, fragrant, good tea!"

Zhang Moqian kept admiring, and the wrinkles on his face were crowded together under the smile.

After the tea was brewed, the two of you enjoyed a cup of tea while drinking tea leisurely.

"By the way, your little girl should have graduated from college by now, right? What do you plan to let her do?" Zhang Moqian put down the teacup in his hand and asked casually.

"Look again, she told me before that she would come back from the capital, so come back as soon as she comes back, even if she doesn't work, it's fine, she can afford her!" Liu Jianghe said with a doting look on his face.

"Yes, who is like you, not only the dean, doctoral supervisor, but also the directors of several technology companies!" Zhang Moqian teased.

"You old man, it's started again. Are you worse than me? Others don't know, but I don't know? You have a whole warehouse of antiques that you have missed for so many years, and you still say it!" Liu Jianghe didn't back down, and directly responded.

The two stopped talking for a while. You looked at me and I looked at you, as if they were competing.

"Hahaha!"

After a long time, the two looked at each other and smiled, and the hearty laughter sounded again.

Those professors in universities are basically not simple.Maybe their basic salary is not high, but their real income is ridiculously high.

Especially those professors of science and engineering, they may be executives of some technology companies, they may also be the technical bosses of some technology companies' R&D departments, or they may be the controlling shareholders of some technology companies.

All in all, in today's society, as long as you study, as long as you can study well, the results will not be too bad.

A truly skilled person will never starve to death at any time.

While talking, the topic turned to Liu Jianghe's youngest daughter.

"Your little daughter, didn't even talk to you about a son-in-law in college?" Zhang Moqian asked casually.

"I don't know much about this, I haven't asked. She is going to university in the capital, and I am teaching in our city. The distance is too far.

Besides, now that the child is getting older, he is reluctant to tell me some things. The girl is getting older, and she has her own secrets in her heart. " Liu Jianghe said.

"Hey, that's what I said. Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren. It's not beautiful for us people to meddle too much. As long as there is no problem in the general direction, let them go boldly. Even if there is something wrong, we have it covered. Nothing will go wrong."

……

Sun Jie returned home, put away the pictures of ladies, took Wen Zhengming's writing and Xu Wei's painting, and went to Zhang Moqian.

The distance between these two places is not far, and it took less than an hour to go back and forth.

Holding two brocade boxes, Sun Jie stood at the door of the shop, glanced at the plaque on the shop with the four characters "Bamboo Grove Shack" written on it, took a deep breath, and walked in.

When he came to the first floor, he saw no one. Sun Jie looked around, but still did not see anyone, so he called softly.

Shouted for a while, but no one responded.

"If you go out, the door should be closed, is it on the second floor? Go and see first!"

While muttering, Sun Jie came to the second floor.

He knocked on the door on the second floor, and the sound of footsteps came from inside.

"Crench!"

The door opened, and Zhang Moqian's face appeared at the door.

"So it's my little brother, come in quickly!" Zhang Moqian turned sideways and opened all the doors.

Sun Jie said thank you, and walked into the room with the two brocade boxes.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Liu Jianghe sitting beside him.

Before Sun Jie could speak, Liu Jianghe pointed at Sun Jie and looked at Zhang Moqian, "Could this be the young man you mentioned?"

Sun Jie was holding two brocade boxes in his hands, and his attire was similar to what Zhang Moqian said just now, so Liu Jianghe could naturally guess.

Zhang Moqian smiled and said, "He is the young man I was talking about."

As he said that, he looked at Sun Jie again, "This is my friend for many years. Let me introduce you. He is a professor at Northwest University of Science and Technology. His name is Liu Jianghe."

"Professor of Northwest University of Science and Technology? Liu Jianghe?"

Sun Jie's body was as if struck by lightning. After a little sluggishness, he blurted out: "But Liu Jianghe, the vice president and dean of the School of Mechanical Engineering of Northwest University of Science and Technology, and the director of the Mechanical Research Institute of Northwest University of Science and Technology, and doctoral supervisor?"

Sun Jie subconsciously revealed Liu Jianghe's identity very fluently.

Liu Jianghe and Zhang Moqian looked at each other, and they both saw doubts in each other's eyes.

"You know me?" Liu Jianghe asked with a frown.

Sun Jie nodded, and said solemnly: "The student is a student from the School of Mechanical Engineering, Northwest University of Science and Technology. I have listened to your public lectures before!"

"Old Liu, he is still your student!" Zhang Moqian was quite surprised.
