Chapter 563 The three top collecting groups in Hong Kong and Taiwan
"Brother Shen, I don't know, tell me." Fang Minghua suddenly became interested.
Maybe I will have to deal with this group of people in the future.
"The first one is called "Minqiu Jingshe". Its members include Hu Huichun, the temporary host, Luo Guixiang, the founder of the Tea Ware Museum, Ye Yi, who is famous for collecting Ming-style furniture; Huang Baoxi, who collects ancient calligraphy and paintings, and runs Li Rong Hotel, as well as Li Rongsen of "Beishantang", Fan Jia who makes warm water bottles, Deng Zhongan, a famous dermatologist who collects snuff bottles, and Ye Chengyao, a descendant of Tingfan Tower"
Shen Xicheng named several people in one breath, and Fang Minghua only sighed in his heart that he had never heard of many of these people's names.
"However, the people in Minqiu Jingshe are all older, some have passed away, and many have stopped buying things, and some are selling their collections." Shen Xicheng continued.
"There is also a group called "Qiu Chiu Jingshe", which started about ten years ago. In 1981, a collection exhibition was held at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. Its members are much better than those of "Minqiu Jingshe" young. "
"There are Ge Shiqiao, a porcelain collector, Yan Shengbo, who is familiar with Mr. Daqian, Yang Yongde, a famous collector of calligraphy, paintings and porcelain, Zhang Zongxian, a famous antique dealer who is often active in the auction house, and Qu Guiliu, a porcelain collector. , Liang Yi who collects calligraphy and paintings, Chen Heng who collects cameras, etc. "
Shen Xicheng rattled off a list of names in one breath.
"The "Qiuzhi Yaji" is different from the "Minqiu Jingshe" in that the members are relatively young. Its members come from all walks of life, including entrepreneurs, doctors, and real estate investors. They are a truly Hong Kong-style collectors group, because their lively and flexible collecting hobbies are very much like Hong Kong people. ”
"What about Taiwan?" Fang Minghua listened with interest.
"The largest collection group in Taiwan is called "Qingxi Yaji". Its members are basically the bosses of large companies, including Shi Chonglei, the managing director of Zhengdao, Ma Zhiling, the president of Yuanta Group, Huang Renzhong, the head of Huanglong Group, and Taifeng Group. President Huang Zonghong, etc. These people are either presidents or chairman of the board, and they have extraordinary influence in Taiwan's industrial and commercial circles. Normally they would not give in to each other, and some of them are even business competitors, but because of "collection", they can sit together and drink tea and chat, which is interesting to think about. "
"Then this Lin Baili is also one of them? "Fang Minghua asked again.
"That's right, but among this group of people, he can only be regarded as the younger brother, but he has a hobby, and you know it now. His favorite is Zhang Daqian's paintings. Especially pictures of ladies. "
"He once said this in public: Many people say that I like to collect beauties, but what I collect are all flat, immortal 'beauties'. This is how I collect them. It won't get old in the future; and it cost a lot of money when I bought it, but it won't cost any more in the future. My 'beauties' also 'sleep' with me, and they are all hung in my bedroom; but I also attach great importance to feeling, so I only hang one at a time and change it once a week. To be honest, I think these beauties are becoming more and more three-dimensional.”
Oh?
She is simply a nymphomaniac.
No, the maid is a nymphomaniac.
Fang Minghua is really unheard of.
"Brother Fang, you said that you collected several pictures of Zhang Daqian's ladies and refused to sell them to him. I guess Lin Baili was scratching his head and couldn't sleep well." Shen Xicheng finally laughed.
Fang Minghua laughed when he heard this.
"Then let him have insomnia."
Fang Minghua didn't take the matter of selling paintings to his heart, he just wanted to do his own business.
The next day was still held on the third floor of the original restaurant. It seemed that Liu Yichang was familiar with the owner of this hotel.
The content of the lecture did not change much, but there was a different audience. During the last question, a girl was very positive.
Her name is Zhang Xiaoxian. She graduated from Hong Kong Baptist University and now works as a screenwriter at TVB.
After doing all this, Fang Minghua’s business in Xiangjiang is over.
In this case, Fang Minghua planned to return to Shenzhen the next day, and then take a flight back to Yanjing. In the afternoon, he heard that there was a Mainland Shencheng Duoyunxuan through the Hong Kong Wing Shing Auction Company at the Harbor Hotel near Kai Tak Center To be held.
Duoyunxuan is a time-honored brand in Shanghai. According to the introduction in the newspaper, it was established during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty. It operated a paper fan business and developed businesses such as woodblock watermarks and calligraphy and painting agencies. At its peak, Duoyunxuan was a time-honored brand in Shanghai. Xuan has hundreds of calligraphers and painters on its behalf, and is known as the "Home of Calligraphy and Painting" and "Jiangnan Art Garden".
It is also the first mainland company to come to Xiangjiang to conduct calligraphy and painting auctions.
Fang Minghua was bored, so he rushed over alone. Of course it was an eye-opener.
Although the auction was not as good as the auctions of top auction houses such as Christie's and Sotheby's that Fang Minghua later watched on online videos, the overall atmosphere was still quite lively. Fang Minghua naturally didn't recognize the people participating in the auction, but he spotted a familiar figure.
Lin Baili!
Sitting on a chair and holding a number plate in his hand, it seems that he is participating in the auction.
Seeing Fang Minghua's appearance, Lin Baili was stunned, but he gave him a friendly smile, and Fang Minghua returned it as a greeting.
Fang Minghua found a chair in the back and sat down. What he was most concerned about was the paintings by the painters of the Republic of China that he had in his possession. He wondered how much the paintings painted by these painters would be auctioned now?
Qi Baishi's "Double Ducks" sold for HK$160,000!
Wu Changshuo's "Wealth Picture" in the middle hall sold for 462,000!
Wu Guanzhong's "Qufu Confucius" sold for 572,000!
Zhang Daqian's "Waterside Pavilion and Pine Wind" sold for 605,000 yuan!
Zhang Daqian's "Watching Clouds in the Mountains at Night" 1.43 million!
In general, the prices of Qi Baishi's paintings are relatively low, and the prices of most of Zhang Daqian's paintings range from hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars. "Looking at the Clouds at Evening Mountain" became the champion of this auction.
I don’t know whether it’s because he didn’t like it or because there were no pictures of ladies, but Lin Baili didn’t take any pictures this time.
Looking at the excitement, after the auction ended, Fang Minghua turned around to leave, but heard someone calling him from behind.
"Mr. Fang, please stay."
Without looking back, Fang Minghua knew it was Lin Baili, so he had to stop.
Fang Minghua thought he was mentioning the picture of Daqian Ladies again, but unexpectedly the other party asked: "Mr. Fang, do you live in Xijing?"
"Yes."
< br>"I haven't been to the thousand-year-old ancient capital. I will definitely go and see it when I get the chance." Lin Baili said with emotion.
"Welcome Mr. Lin to visit Xijing." Fang Minghua said politely and officially.
"Well, when I go to Xijing to visit, I must visit you, Mr. Xiaxia." Lin Baili smiled.
Fang Minghua understood immediately.
This guy is still thinking about his own calligraphy and painting!
“Welcome.” Fang Minghua replied with a smile.
Lin Baili left.
To be honest, Fang Minghua naturally does not want to have a tense relationship with these big guys in the collection industry.
If you don’t sell these paintings now, that may not mean they won’t be sold in the future.
As for the people who are being sold, who can afford it?
In the evening, Fang Minghua went shopping in the Central area and bought some small gifts, especially for his two babies,
What doll toys are essential.
Fang Minghua finished breakfast the next morning and prepared to return to the mainland. This time, Shen Xicheng drove him to the port.
In the hotel, he did not wait for Shen Xicheng, but waited for another person.
Fang Minghua recognized the man who was similar in age to him at a glance, even though he had not yet announced his family status.
Stephen Chow.
