Chapter 1420 Moving around
"The Fujiwara family's art museum management is having some problems now." Anzhai Eiichi took Zhou Zhi's hand: "Those calligraphy and paintings are in a very bad state and are in urgent need of repair. ."
"That batch?" Zhou Zhi was shocked: "What other batches are there? Are they the ones that came out of Prince Chun's Palace?" br>
"Yes." Anzhai Eichi murmured as he fell into memories: "The Six Hand Scrolls of Prince Chun's Mansion."
The Six Hand Scrolls of Prince Chun's Mansion are important cultural relics dispersed from China to the island country. For the dream of Manchukuo, the collections taken out of the inner palace were packaged and sold to the Yamazaka Chamber of Commerce, which in turn sold them to the Fujiwara family.
The six hand scrolls include the picture of Zhao Ling's flock of geese, the picture of Wang Mian's snowy plum blossoms, the picture of Zhao Mengfu washing horses, the picture of Chen Rong's six dragons, the picture of Li Gonglin's alliance meeting on the bridge, and the picture of Han Qian's horse nature.
The six collections were sold on behalf of Zhang Binfang, the director of Prince Chun's Palace at that time, and received six thousand yuan.
Among them, the picture of Zhao Ling's flock of geese, the picture of Zhao Mengfu washing horses, and the picture of Han Qian's horse nature are on silk, and the remaining three are on paper.
"Why is it in bad condition?" Zhou Zhi asked anxiously: "These six hand scrolls are the treasures of Qianlong, and they are all included in the first compilation of the "Secret Palace Zhulin Shiqu Baoji". They have all been repaired by masters in the imperial palace, and all emperors have regarded them as treasures. At least when they flowed out of Prince Chun's palace, they were regarded as treasures. They are all in very good condition!"
"There is no need to worry about more details," Anzhai Eiichi said: "Because porcelain is much easier to preserve than calligraphy and painting, the Fujiwara family deliberately wanted to save it this time. The six hand scrolls are released in exchange for funds to operate the art museum.”
"About... how much does it cost?" Zhou Zhi swallowed.
Of these six hand scrolls, Han Gan was from the Tang Dynasty, Zhao Lingrang was the fifth grandson of Song Taizu, and he and Li Gonglin were from the Northern Song Dynasty, Chen Rong was from the Southern Song Dynasty, and Zhao Mengfu and Wang Mian were from the Yuan Dynasty. The scrolls were collected by the Imperial Household and published on Shiqubao Pavilion, history Qianlong and many civil servants added poems and postscripts, and the emperors of the Qing Dynasty stamped and added inscriptions. There is a "deed of exchange" handwritten by Zhang Binfang, who was in charge when it came out of Prince Chun's Mansion. The order of circulation is very clear. Can you get the six masterpieces yourself? Damn, I really don’t dare to say it.
“If Sakamoto and I come forward, we should be able to talk about two million US dollars for one painting, and six paintings would be 12 million US dollars. If it is less, I estimate that 10 million US dollars is the limit.”< br>
"Ten million dollars..." Zhou Zhi's heart jumped when he heard that ten million US dollars is more than seventy million yuan. Although he can be regarded as making money every day, most of the money has been given to Li Laosan for investment. Such a big year The money really won't be available for a while.
It would have been easier to say if it had been two months later, Zhou Zhi would have been sure to make a big profit from the rapid expansion of the domestic market, and 20 million could have turned into 40 or 50 million, and he would have been able to work hard here and there. Just put it together and you'll be able to live together.
But now, it really doesn't work.
"Recently, my country's Hanhai Auction Company launched "Ten Odes" by Zhang Xian of the Northern Song Dynasty, which was sold for 19.8 million yuan. This is the first time that my country's domestic cultural relics and artworks have exceeded 10 million yuan. At the Great Pass, "Ten Chant Pictures" was purchased by the Palace Museum. "
"That painting is huge and well preserved. Logically speaking, its value is at least as good as that of Wang Zhao's hand scroll..." Zhou Zhi said, but just. Even I can't convince myself.
Because in addition to Wang Zhao from the Yuan Dynasty, there is also Han Gan from the Tang Dynasty in the Six Hand Scrolls!
“The Fujita family doesn’t have to ask for money.” An Zhaiying looked embarrassed when he saw Zhou Zhi, and continued: “They are the oldest collecting family in the island country. To be retained.”
"Compared with funds, it might be easier to exchange for the porcelain they have always loved to collect."
"This is even more difficult..." Zhou Zhi rubbed his hands and frowned.
"This is actually not difficult, right?" An Zhaiying's thoughtful reaction was a little strange: "Your country has not yet completely banned the outflow of cultural relics, right?"
Although it has been introduced now, no There are few protection measures and regulations, but in fact the outflow of domestic cultural relics is still serious. It will not be until next year that the country will revise the previously proposed policy into the twelve-character guiding ideology of "effective protection, rational utilization, and strengthened management."
It also specifically changed the definition of the word "utilization" to "refers to fully affirming the scientific, artistic and historical value of cultural relics and exerting their cultural, educational, reference and scientific research functions". Utilization The methods include opening tourist attractions, holding exhibitions, conducting international cooperation and exchanges, organizing special tours, publishing books, albums and audio-visual products, making replicas of cultural relics, developing souvenirs, etc. We will no longer mention "less spending in high-end foreign exchange." "Slow water flows long", then gradually It was gradually tightened and became very strict after two thousand years.
So, if Zhou Zhi wants to take his collection out of the country and entrust it to Hanhai or Christie's, it is actually possible, Anzhai Eiichi. It's strange that it's strange
Zhou Zhi had no choice but to explain: "To switch to six-hand scrolls, the porcelain used must be at least famous porcelain from the Song and Yuan Dynasties, or the Tang Sancai and Five Dynasty statues, and it must have been inherited in an orderly manner before the founding of the People's Republic of China. , this requirement is really too high. "
"Besides, even if I have these things, Mr. Anzhai, do you think I should use them in exchange? "
"If it were me, I would definitely not give up. Anzhai Yingyi sighed: "But if it were you, I think you can give it a try." ”
"You are a master of calligraphy and painting restoration. If the six hand scrolls get into your hands, I believe you can restore them to their original state."
"This is even more difficult..." Zhou Zhi kept rubbing his hands, His eyebrows and forehead were all wrinkled.
"Zhou Sang, think about it, if you exchange famous porcelain or precious cultural relics for the six-hand scroll, the life of the six-hand scroll can be guaranteed." Anzhai Eiichi earnestly advised: "Let the Fujita family keep cultural relics that are easier to preserve. At least there will be a chance to buy it back in the future.”
“That’s why I’m eager to ask you to come over, because I feel that. You should think carefully about this opportunity."
Listening to An Zhai's teachings, a flash of light suddenly flashed in Zhou Zhi's mind: "Yes! I have two sets of collections, known as the 'Republic of China Official Kiln'. New China's official kiln! A set of Hongxian porcelain and a set of Mao porcelain, if the Fujiwara family is willing, I can exchange them."
"Two generations of Jurentang?" An Zhaiying couldn't help but look at Zhou Zhi with admiration. This little brother really kept his secrets secret. If he hadn't been in a hurry today, he probably wouldn't have said it.
The reputation of Mao Porcelain has become internationally famous. Because merchants from New Island arrived late, they only acquired a few sporadic pieces. They achieved good results in several auctions on Hong Kong Island and New Island. .
Due to Zhou Zhi’s monopoly on the supply of goods, the market was really hungry, so dealers started to speculate from “Contemporary Jurentang” to “Previous Jurentang”, so that “Jurentang”, known as the “official kiln of the Republic of China” The value of Hongxian porcelain from when Yuan Shikai became emperor, signed "Tang Zhi", has also soared.
"I have them all in sets." Zhou Zhi said: "Hongxian porcelain was found by entrusting the Capital Cultural Relics Store to find it. It is a set of thirty-six pastel porcelains. As for Mao porcelain, it is also for two tables. Hospitality set including chopstick holder , a total of sixteen sets of food plates, dregs plates, food bowls, tea cups, wine glasses, and spoons, eight plates, four bowls, and one basin."
"The pattern is a pastel painting method that was pioneered after the founding of the People's Republic of China. ——Dian Shui Peach Blossom.”
"I really hope I still have a chance to see it..." Anzhai Yingyi couldn't help but be very fascinated, and then frowned: "But the value of these is still far from enough."
Indeed, although he said it lively , there are only thirty-six pieces of Hongxian porcelain, large and small, and one hundred and thirty-eight pieces of Mao porcelain. Even if a set is ten million yuan, there is still a shortfall of fifty million yuan.
Zhou Zhi thought about his family fortune: "What about the works of modern painters? For example...Fan Zeng?"
"You also have Mr. Fan's paintings in your collection?" An Zhai couldn't help but his eyes lit up: " How many pictures are there?”
