Chapter 1057 Working class to rich man
Except for a few well-known famous artists such as Lang Shining, Zheng Xie, Huang Shen, Jin Nong, etc. who have now entered the upward path, most of the remaining ancient paintings of the Qing Dynasty have returned to their hometowns. nameless.
If you think about it, even the famous couplets of Zhang Zhidong and Zuo Zongtang can be obtained for only 10,000 to 20,000 yuan, which shows the rest.
But Zhou Zhi is very happy, especially this kind of damaged one. It is an excellent training material for improving his appraisal skills and mounting skills.
And he is not exactly the Wu Xia Ameng he was back then. After playing for a few years, he has collected dozens of paintings and calligraphy works by Qing people. Many of them have their styles and signatures. I can’t even remember them. .
Soon Zhou Zhi identified Wu Dan's fine brushwork "Mountain Covering the Clouds", Lan Ying's "Guxi Bookstore", Chen Zhuo's "Water Village Scroll", Chen Yu's "Looking at the Son" and other works.
There are also works by Li Wei, Li Fangying and Wang Shishen.
Although these people are not as famous as Huang Shen, Jin Nong, and Zheng Xie, they are also among the "Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou" and should not be underestimated.
The remaining works include works by Fang Hengxian, Wen Dian, Niu Shihui and others.
This can almost tell us about Ouyang Youhe’s collecting style. Either it is the works of early Qing painters, or it is characters like the Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou. The main character is an unruly person who is more or less interested in the Qing Dynasty. Somewhat dissatisfied.
For example, Niu Shihui's three-character signature in cursive script can actually be divided into four characters - "I will not worship you when I am alive". Now it falls carelessly on the "Niuzhu Haze Picture Scroll" in front of Zhou Zhi.
This batch of calligraphy and paintings has cracks, smoke, and water stains, but miraculously, there are no insect holes.
Because it is a scroll, although the heart of the painting is broken into pieces, the pieces are not lost because of the tight packaging.
That is to say, as long as they are carefully restored, these ancient paintings can be framed as new.
However, this situation is different in the eyes of the Yang family father and son. Seeing Zhou Zhi’s heavy expression, and seeing how miserable this batch of calligraphy and painting is compared with the vat of modern works just now, I couldn't help but feel uneasy: "Mr. Xiao Zhou, how do you say these...?"
"They are all genuine, but the market is average." Zhou Zhi picked out the paintings of the Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou: "These more famous ones can be sold for ten thousand in their current condition, and the remaining ones...one thousand, let's count. "One thousand and five cents."
The Yang family and his son are very satisfied with the customers Yang Dequan found for them today. They are all respectable big shots.
The key is that the price of the items in this house is far beyond their imagination. They have already negotiated for more than 300,000 yuan in the morning, and the remaining tens of thousands of goods are not favored by others, but they are still given. The reference price was left to the father and son to decide on their own.
In the vat of modern calligraphy and painting just now, Manager Lin asked for the five most expensive paintings, which cost more than 300,000 yuan. Mr. Xiao Zhou and Manager Fei divided the remaining ones, and here they cost another 300,000 yuan. many.
This is already more than 700,000.
"Mr. Xiao Zhou, do you accept these...?" Fei Guan waved his hand: "Mr. Sun will scold you if you take these back. He and Xiao Xu have enough work."
Lin Wanqiu smiled and shook her head: "There are too many Qing paintings on Hong Kong Island, and the quality is much better than this."
This is true. With the large-scale population movement in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, many people came to Hong Kong Island. Among ancient paintings, the works of the Qing Dynasty are the least valuable. "Then I'll take it away to practice." Zhou Zhi took a quick look at the remaining ancient paintings. They were basically "non-famous painters" in the early Qing Dynasty and the Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou. From them, he took a pair of Zheng Xie's "Bamboo and Stone Pictures" and "Four Phase Hairpin Flowers" by Huang Shen "I picked out the pictures and said with a smile: "These two pictures can be given for 40,000, the remaining six pictures of eight monsters are 10,000, and the remaining 18 pictures are 1,500. A total of 127,000, okay? ”
"Okay, okay." Yang Shangqiu was happy. He didn't expect that even this pile of rags could be sold for so much.
He had already made a calculation in his mind. After having exchanged so much money, there was no need to sell the old house in a hurry. According to Mr. Xiao Zhou’s words, it should be restored and repaired first, and then he could sell it if he wanted to live in it. Come up with another idea.
I no longer hesitated at the moment: "Let's go out."
Fei looked around the house: "So that's about it for today? Should I call a car now and notify my wife to come over?"
< br>"Well, let's take stock of the accounts and write the check first." Lin Wanqiu said with a smile: "Wait until Aunt Yushu comes over to open an account for the two Mr. Yang."
At present, all banks across the country have not implemented inter-provincial exchanges. The only channel that can provide exchanges is UnionPay ATMs, and the handling fees are a bit scary.
However, Fei Guan's wife Liu Yushu is now the president of Jinjiang Branch. In order to solve the problem of large customers' redemption, Jinjiang Branch invented a workaround - mobile banking.
The money truck pulls the bodyguard and the teller holding the official seal and voucher. This is a mobile comprehensive banking counter. With just one phone call, you can come to your door to handle business for customers.
Fei Guan had an elder brother, so he took out a calculator and called his wife, while Lin Wanqiu took out a calculator and calculated the cost of this trip.
Everyone was very satisfied with this house shopping. Lin Wanqiu focused on simplicity and portability, but they were all the most expensive items. A set of eight-color clouds and golden dragon queen's winter clothes were RMB 30,000, and five paintings by modern famous artists were RMB 30,000. Fifty thousand, totaling to 380,000.
Zhou Zhi collected many, large and miscellaneous things. He collected a total of four boxes of Sichuan opera costumes, a box of Qing Dynasty women's clothing, an eight-piece white jade belt, a jade pendant, a tooth wat, a water greening desk, and three bookshelves. A Qianlong kiln glazed apple statue, a rhinoceros cloud pattern needlework box, ten Zhushan Eight Friends porcelain hanging screens, plus a vat of Qing Dynasty calligraphy and painting.
With so many things added up, the total price was still no match for Lin Wanqiu, a total of three hundred and seven thousand.
The Yang family's father and son felt that Zhou Zhi had worked very hard as a "trustee" today, and helped them solve the crude benzene items, and the price was very generous, so they were also generous and gave away a fraction of the seven thousand. Give me 300,000 yuan to finish the job.
The remaining items were divided between Fei Guan and Zhang Cheng. The two mainly collected porcelain from the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. There were also more than a dozen large and small pieces, which totaled over 100,000 yuan.
The total amount is about 800,000. It can be said that the Yang family has achieved the leap from working class to rich in one day.
Originally, Lao Yang only wanted to solve the housing problem for his children and grandchildren and make his retirement life more comfortable. Now the money he got is enough to buy more than ten or twenty sets of commercial houses in the city. Where can he solve the housing and life problems? !
"Lao Yang, you have some potential, don't have a heart attack!" Yang Dequan saw Lao Yang's expression and couldn't help but joke, asking him to relax.
"It's funny, it's funny..." Yang Shangqiu said honestly: "You can't blame us, we have never seen such a big world in this life."
"I heard grandpa He once said that when he sang in the garden, he played cards with several warlord concubines, using small yellow croakers to directly As a bargaining chip." Yang Ting said with a smile: "But I have never met him. I only thought he was bragging."
"I saw him when I was a child." Yang Shangqiu couldn't help but sigh. " Fortunately, we replaced this house and these things, otherwise nothing would be left..."
Zhou Zhi was more curious about the behavior of the warlords: "Mr. Ouyang plays cards with the warlords' aunts and wives? Are the warlords quite enlightened?"
