Chapter 148 147. The treasure of the museum a hundred years from now? Jiang Chen’s live broadcast room lottery?
This is what Zheng Zehao is thinking now!
Return this work left by Jiang Chen to Jiang Chen.
The person just offered a price of 150 million, and Zheng Zehao's heart almost jumped out of his chest.
He never thought that he would have the opportunity to get such a large sum of money in his life!
He almost said yes.
But!
He still held back forcefully, always remembering that this was something given to him by Jiang Chen and he could not sell it.
Jiang Chen regarded him as a friend and came all the way to see him. He could never let down this friendship.
At the same time, he didn’t want to take it, he wanted to give it back to Jiang Chen.
Because it was too valuable, and he was afraid that he would be unable to resist the temptation of money and sell it. Then he would have no shame in meeting Jiang Chen anymore, and no more shame in saying that he was Jiang Chen's friend.
When Jiang Chen saw the message from Zheng Zehao, he smiled slightly and replied: "What I give to you is yours. It is your choice how to deal with it. No matter how much it is worth, it is all yours." ! No matter what you do, our friendship will not change.”
Jiang Chen naturally knows that his works are valuable, but he doesn’t mind if Zheng Zehao sells the works he gave away for money. Life.
As long as the works he wrote are not destroyed, it doesn't matter how they are bought, sold or circulated.
If it can escape from Zheng Zehao's hands and be seen and exposed to more people, Jiang Chen will also be happy to see it happen. This can be regarded as helping him expand the publicity and popularity of his work.
However, Zheng Zehao replied firmly: "I will not sell it. No matter how much money others pay, I will not sell it. I will keep it well! When I die of old age, I will donate it to the country. I think, At that time, your works may be considered cultural relics. You can enter the museum now."
Jiang Chen looked at it and smiled again: "Hahaha, you are not much older than me. When you die of old age, I will be almost there."
Both of them chatted happily for a few words.
Zheng Zehao finally said: "Lao Jiang, thank you, I hope you have time to come to Mudanjiang next time."
Jiang Chen: "Okay, if I have the chance, I will go . If you have the opportunity to make money now, don’t care about my opinion. I also hope that you can improve your life. If my gift can make you live happier, then I will be happy too.”
Zheng Zehao felt much more relaxed and said gratefully: "I understand, thank you, have a nice journey."
Jiang Chen: "Thank you, have a happy life."
Goodbye again.
Jiang Chen sincerely hopes that Zheng Zehao can live a happier life in the future.
…………
Li Zheng also received a call from Lao Liu and hurriedly asked: "How is it? Have you bought it?"
Lao Liu said regretfully: "Sorry, Mr. Li, it didn't work."
Li Zheng frowned and asked: "Did he not sell it, or was it bought by someone else?"
Old Liu quickly explained Said: "He didn't sell! I offered 120 million and he didn't sell. Then I raised the price to 130 million without authorization! There were two other bidders with me, and one of them offered 150 million. , Zheng Zehao didn’t sell it, saying that he would not sell Jiang Chen’s works. I think what he said may be true.”
Li Zheng was speechless.
Because, there is actually someone who bids higher than him.
Moreover, even the 150 million that was higher than his bid was not bought.
Then Zheng Zehao can really resist such a fierce temptation of money?
Li Zheng sighed and said: "Well, since he doesn't want to sell, then wait a moment. You continue to follow Jiang Chen. At the same time, send someone to keep an eye on Zheng Zehao. As long as he has the intention to sell, he will do it at any time. Contact me. There is someone who bids higher than me. I will pay the highest price next time.”
“Tell the truth. , I have just been watching the video of Jiang Chen's calligraphy, and the more I watch it, the more I like it. The calligraphy of this work is Jiang Chen's masterpiece. At the same time, the work itself is enough to be passed down to the world, and it is full of life insights if it were not for Jiang Chen. If I had written so many works that could be handed down to the world, this work should have a higher status.”
"However, as time goes by, it will definitely be recited by more people. Therefore, even if it is bought for 150 million, it is still worth it."
"If Zheng Zehao intends to sell next time, he will still If someone bids, you don’t have to notify me. The highest bid is 200 million to buy it!”
Li Zheng was a little stimulated.
I watched Jiang Chen’s video of writing about the storm again, and I liked the work even more. When I heard someone offered a higher price, I felt a little dissatisfied, so I gave a higher budget again.
He would accept it if he bought this work within 200 million!
Old Liu took a breath after hearing this. He didn't expect Li Zheng to increase the budget by so much. His eyes narrowed slightly, and then he asked: "Then if... there is a chance to buy Jiang Chen's Xia Ke Xing and Wang Yue, Mr. Li is willing to What’s the budget?”
Xia Ke Xing and Wang Yue?
Those are Jiang Chen's two most representative works that are currently recognized in the literary and calligraphy circles, which silenced many voices against Jiang Chen in the cultural circles. Both the calligraphy and the work itself are impeccable, and are more recognized than the previously stunning works such as Lang Tao Sha and Poppy Poppies.
Someone in the collecting circle had previously offered Xia Ke Xing up to 180 million, which they thought was already a sky-high price.
But now Li Zheng is willing to offer 200 million yuan to deal with the situation.
How much should be paid to the more representative Xiakexing and Wangyue?
It must be more than 200 million.
Li Zheng was also stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a few seconds, he said: "Anything within 300 million is fine. If someone bids, I can accept a price of up to 350 million! If the two works can be together "Pack it up, I can accept it within one billion."
After thinking about it, Li Zheng gave his highest price.
Xia Kexing and Wangyue, regardless of whether any of the works is authentic, he can give a price of 350 million. If the two works are sold together, then he can directly give a super high price of 1 billion. Take it.
After hearing this, Lao Liu's heartbeat accelerated a lot.
He knew that Li Zheng would definitely pay a sky-high price, but he did not expect such an astonishing sky-high price.
Two works are packaged for one billion, one is 500 million!
Such a price is absolutely sky-high among antique calligraphy and paintings.
Most national treasure-level calligraphy and paintings do not have this price, and the pinnacle masterpieces of several top ancient masters can also be sold at this price.
And the two works that Jiang Chen wrote not long ago can be sold for such a price, which shows that Jiang Chen's two temporary masterpieces are destined to become museum treasures in the future, and they are not small museums. It is the treasure of a national-level museum like the Forbidden City.
Old Liu made up his mind to follow Jiang Chen in the next time. If he could succeed in Li Zheng's business, he could retire directly.
"Okay, Mr. Li, I will continue to follow Jiang Chen and wait for the opportunity."
Lao Liu said firmly.
Li Zheng: "Okay, keep a low profile and don't expose me."
Old Liu: "Of course, don't worry, Mr. Li. I have been in this business for 20 years and have a good reputation!"
Li Zheng: "I think Zheng Zehao is the best place to break through. Find someone who is capable. Contact him often."
Lao Liu: "Don't worry, Mr. Li, I am professional in this area. I have already arranged someone. He is responsible for keeping an eye on Zheng Zehao every day."
... ……
Beijing.
Li Wenbin was sitting in the office, also holding the phone and saying: "150 million didn't impress him?"
The old man on the other end of the phone said with certainty: "Yes, 150 million doesn't impress him?" He refused and was very firm. I guess it's not about money. He is a relatively innocent and emotional person. Jiang Chen regards him as a friend. He doesn't want to let down Jiang Chen's friendship, so he doesn't use Jiang Chen's fame to make money. I won’t sell Jiang Chen’s works either.”
< br>"Such a person is the most difficult to defeat!"
Li Wenbin rubbed his brow: "Is there any chance?"
The old man replied: "There is a chance, but it is very small, and It also takes a long time to slowly get in touch with him. After all, Zheng Zehao is just an ordinary person with an average family background. He is not married yet, is not young, and has not had a stable job for a long time. He may not be able to withstand the temptation of money. .”
Li Wenbin: "Okay, you are a professional in this area. If I can buy this painting, the commission will be increased by 20%! I only look at the results. In terms of price, if 150 million is not enough, I can add 7,000 Ten thousand, increase it to 220 million!" The old man said, "Okay, I have sent people to follow Zheng Zehao to try to impress him. I will continue to follow Jiang. Chen."
Li Wenbin: "Okay, I'll wait for your good news. I went to see Jiang Chen's Xia Ke Xing again this morning. I really want it."
To this day, Li Wenbin still has the sword-like calligraphy strokes in the Xia Ke Xing in his mind. For several days in a row, he could only dream about them.
The old man smiled bitterly and said: "You are much better than others if you can see it. Many people can't see it even if they want to. I have never seen a knight performing his true deeds. So, you naturally know better. It’s difficult to buy that work in Jiang Chen’s hands. Mr. Li, is there any chance of the Qing Ping Tune painting in your sister’s hands, as well as Wang Fei’s One-cut Plum Blossoms?”
Li Wenbin smiled and said: "There is no chance. In their hands, it is harder to buy than in Jiang Chen's hands. It's impossible! They now regard these two works as more important than their lives."
The old man: "Then there is nothing we can do. The one with the best chance now is Zheng Zehao. "Ding Feng" in hand. "
Li Wenbin: "Yes, this is still the work with the greatest chance. Just go ahead and operate it, I will pay for it!"
The old man: "Okay, we will do our best. !”
Hung up the phone.
Li Wenbin sighed, a little disappointed. He thought he could buy Ding Fengbo from Zheng Zehao and hang it in his office, but he didn't expect that 150 million would not impress anyone.
“Jiang Chen’s works are so popular.”
Li Wenbin murmured to himself.
He knows that most collectors in the country are currently eyeing Jiang Chen’s works.
This is the most collectible work of a domestic artist in recent decades. It is not a Western art, but a pure collection of traditional Chinese culture and art. It is also loved by many Chinese collectors.
Although Jiang Chen is still young, he still doesn’t know how many works he will write in the future.
But...
The works Jiang Chen has written so far are all of an absolutely high standard, and each work is authentic enough to be passed down to the world.
This is different from those artists who have a large number of unevenly layered works circulating in the world.
Nowadays, some of the top artists in Europe and the United States have tens of thousands of works from their hands. The best masterpieces can be sold for millions of dollars, but 99% of other ordinary works can only be sold for a few dollars. Thousands, or even hundreds of dollars.
But...
Every piece of Jiang Chen's work is impeccable and of an absolutely high standard.
Most artists in Europe and the United States are taking the abstract route.
The so-called abstract route is a non-technical stream that hypes up concepts. Whether the work is good or not depends entirely on hype and operation. Therefore, this type of artist has in-depth cooperation with many professional art companies. Art companies spend money to buy media and experts to help hype them up, and then sell the works to make money, and both parties share the money.
For example, a work with a black dot drawn on a piece of white paper. Under the operation and hype of many parties, such an abstract work sold for a sky-high price of tens of millions of dollars.
This type of work has no criteria for judging whether it is good or bad, so it is very watery. How much it can sell for depends entirely on the strength of the operation behind it.
Jiang Chen’s works are where the essence of traditional Chinese culture condenses. Just like the works of great writers, calligraphers and painters in ancient times, good and bad are visible to the naked eye, not by blowing or blowing. Hype, everyone can see it.
Whether it is Chinese professors and experts from top prestigious schools such as Beijing University of Science and Technology, or a random kid on the street who has graduated from elementary school, they will all say the same thing after reading it: "The writing is really good, the writing is really awesome. ! ”
So, now the domestic collectors are chasing Jiang Chen’s works and want to buy one of Jiang Chen’s works.
They all know.
No matter how much Jiang Chen writes in the future, the value of such works will never be low.
Because!
The quality level of the work itself is there.
Calligraphy comparable to that of historical masters, plus masterpieces from the world.
Such a combination, from ancient times to modern times, in any era, is an absolute rarity, an existence that is completely out of reach of ordinary people.
Therefore, Li Wenbin dared to give a higher price than Li Zheng. He felt that Jiang Chen's works would still have room for appreciation in the future.
The high value of Jiang Chen’s works is one of the reasons.
Another reason is that no one in this world can compare with Jiang Chen, not even in this world, in the past five or six hundred years, there has been no literati who can compare with Jiang Chen.
Only by going to the cultural peak of the Tang and Song dynasties and looking for those top writers can we compare with Jiang Chen.
Such an existence...
The value of his work will only continue to increase, not decrease.
Hundreds of years from now, they will definitely enter the museum as a treasure.
No matter how much money you spend now, as long as you buy Jiang Chen’s work, it can be regarded as a family heirloom.
…………
Jiang Chen and his party found a place on the road to have a simple lunch at noon, set up a tent and took a nap, and set off again in the afternoon.
By 7 or 8 pm, we camped again in a place with mountains and water.
Park the car.
Han Qing, Pu Yuexi, and Chen Xiaojia all started to set up tents with ease. It was like stars over the moon. Jiang Chen's tent was in the middle, and their tents were surrounding Jiang Chen.
The mobile phone was placed on the stand and the live broadcast was started. There were more than 600,000 people in the live broadcast room, watching them busy. Jiang Chen stood by the small river nearby and looked at the scenery.
The viewers in the live broadcast room were all envious.
And Jiang Chen thought about Zheng Zehao's experience today. There were so many people outside who wanted the works he wrote.
Zheng Zehao won’t sell either.
Should I send out a few works?
Otherwise...
The works are all concentrated in my own hands, which is not conducive to the dissemination and recognition of these works.
Jiang Chen hopes that the works he writes and sings can be spread more widely and gain more recognition.
The songs I sing are disseminated through live broadcast platforms, download platforms, and short video platforms, so I don’t have to worry about dissemination and recognition at all.
However, there are no circulation channels for the poems he wrote, and most of them are concentrated in Jiang Chen's own hands.
This is obviously not conducive to communication.
Therefore, it is necessary for a small number of works to be released and be sought after and recognized by collectors outside.
But...
You definitely can’t give it away casually.
Jiang Chen suddenly turned around and faced the live broadcast camera and said: "Everyone, it suddenly occurred to me today that I haven't interacted with the viewers of my live broadcast for a long time since I left the Magic City. I feel so sorry for all of you during this time. Support! So, to make it up to everyone, wait for me When I return to Chengdu, I will let Xiao Qingzi draw a prize in the live broadcast room."
"The prize is a piece of work I wrote!"
Jiang Chen's words instantly shocked the live broadcast room. Everyone became quiet, and the barrage on the screen was almost invisible.
Han Qing, Pu Yuexi, Chen Xiaojia and others who were packing their things also stopped at the same time and looked up at Jiang Chen.
