Chapter 102 Amateur Painter
Chen Feng has been to museums before and seen those precious works of art. He has also been to art galleries to see many paintings, calligraphy, sculptures, photography and other works of art.
Then, we finally came to the conclusion that if the creators of these artworks were dead, they would not meet their own requirements.
To put it another way, the creators of the few calligraphy and paintings that Chen Feng has found that meet the requirements these days are all alive.
On the contrary, none of the works of those who have passed away meet Chen Feng's requirements.
Therefore, when this person said that these two paintings were both works from a hundred years ago, Chen Feng certainly didn't believe it.
"These two paintings are interesting. You should make an offer first. If it is suitable, I can consider purchasing them."
Of course Chen Feng understands the basic rules of buying and selling and cannot give them up. Initiative in the transaction.
Hearing this, the bald middle-aged man pondered for a moment and then said: "These two paintings are inherited from my family. I have them appraised by experts. They are both rare and exquisite. Someone bought these paintings for one million before. I didn’t agree with the “Small Rain in Jiangnan” painting, and a foreigner had previously offered it $200,000, and I didn’t agree with it either.”
This bald middle-aged man is really bad, I really believed it. Damn you!
Chen Feng asked in his heart, do I look so easy to deceive?
“You can’t trade like this.” Chen Feng lowered his face and said, “You said these two paintings were both works from a hundred years ago, but I look at the canvas, paper, and ink color. It must be a modern work. You said that "Mist and Rain in Jiangnan" was painted by a late Qing Dynasty artist. What was his name? What is the name of the author of this painting "Rose"? I can be sure that the authors of these two paintings are still alive at this time, right?"
The bald middle-aged man originally wanted to quibble. , but when Chen Feng finally concluded that the authors of these two paintings were still alive, his eyes widened in surprise and he was speechless.
He almost blurted out, "How did you know?"
Fortunately, he didn't embarrass himself on the spot, but he still had a bit of embarrassment on his face. After all, the lie was exposed on the spot, and there were two beauties watching beside him.
There is no doubt that in his eyes, Chen Feng is an expert, and the information he obtained before is obviously wrong.
If it weren't for money, he would have left in anger at this time.
But in the end, he was thick-skinned enough, or the temptation of money was too strong. He held on to his sense of shame and asked in a difficult tone: "Then how much money can you offer?"
When Chen Feng saw that the other party didn't make any more excuses, he actually gave him some points in his mind.
"In this case, two paintings together will cost 20,000."
The other party's original asking price was more than two million, but Chen Feng's bargaining price was reduced by a hundred times.
“Twenty thousand!?”
The bald middle-aged man shouted as if he was insulted, his eyes widened, and he immediately started to put the two paintings back together.
Chen Feng was not in a hurry when he saw this, and asked calmly: "How much do you plan to ask for?"
The bald middle-aged man stopped for a moment, and then made an offer: "Two paintings together, 200,000, this It’s the lowest price.”
Chen Feng shook his head: "These two paintings were painted by people who are still alive, and this person must not be famous now. Otherwise, you would not plan to pretend to be a painter from a hundred years ago. These two paintings were painted by people who are not famous in modern times. Do you think the asking price of 200,000 is reasonable?”
The bald middle-aged man looked confused and said, "Let's pay 150,000 for both paintings. You know the art, and you should also know that these two paintings are very good. Although their authors are indeed not famous now, I believe that he will definitely become famous in the near future.”
"Let's do it. Two paintings are 100,000. This price is definitely profitable for you. In addition, you can tell me the news about the author."
The bald middle-aged man's eyes rolled. Then he gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, pretending to be at a huge loss. Said: "Okay. Just think that I have suffered a little loss and become your friend."
The bald middle-aged man immediately put the painting in his hand back on his desk, then quickly took out his mobile phone and said: "WeChat Or a certain Alipay, or a bank account.”
Chen Feng looked at him with a smile: "Tell me the author's news first, and I will send you the money after confirming it."
The bald middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and then he reluctantly searched for it on his mobile phone. He made a phone call, showed it to Chen Feng, and then said: "He is an amateur painter who runs a noodle shop in the countryside."
"Both paintings were painted by him?" Chen Feng was a little surprised.
The bald middle-aged man nodded.
Chen Feng remembered the phone number and dialed it immediately.
"Hello, are you Li Chungang?" "Yes."
"Hello, I run an art acquisition store. I received two paintings from you, one A picture of "Misty Rain in the South of the Yangtze River" and a picture of "Rose" are both Did you paint it?”
“Ah, yes.”
“Okay, I’ll add you on WeChat later and you can check it out. I’m very interested in your paintings. I want to visit you.”
"Ah, okay, okay, thank you, thank you."
"That's it for now, I'll contact you later."
This person is undoubtedly the same as the previous amateur painter named Zhang. They are all the ones Chen Feng missed, which is really good news.
"Okay, now let's make a formal transaction, please sign a contract."
Although Chen Feng's current shop is small, it is still relatively formal, with complete procedures, complete documents, and the transaction process is also Follow standard procedures.
Sign the contract, file the record, and transfer the money.
After the bald middle-aged man received 100,000 yuan, he immediately beamed and said that he would continue to cooperate next time.
Chen Feng was also very happy and said that if there are any good works next time, he can continue to acquire them.
I have to say that this bald middle-aged man has a very good eye, and he won the bid for the two paintings he brought for sale.
The bald middle-aged man left happily. He naturally had reasons to be happy.
Not long ago, he only spent 5,000 yuan to pack up these two paintings, and now they resold them for 100,000 yuan. This is a huge profit.
When Chen Feng added Li Chungang's WeChat account, he also found out the initial sales price of the two paintings after a little questioning.
Chen Feng didn’t feel like he was at a disadvantage.
Originally buying these two paintings for 100,000 yuan, Chen Feng also made a fortune. What's more, it also put him in touch with Li Chungang, a truly great painter who is likely to be buried in the world.
Maybe you can get a lot of "energy paintings" from Li Chungang.
It's just that Li Chungang's family lives a little far away, actually in Sichuan Province, and Chen Feng had to take a plane to get there.
Chen Feng contacted him and agreed to go find him tomorrow.
Of course Li Chungang has no objection.
After the negotiation, Chen Feng had time to look at the two women and said to them with a smile: "Are you interested in going to Sichuan Province with me tomorrow? I'll cover the travel expenses."
< br>Lin Wan immediately raised her hands happily and said: "I do, I do. I'll go with you."
Wu Mengting's heart tightened slightly, and she immediately said with a smile: "I don't have anything to do tomorrow, so let's go together."
"Okay. Send me your ID number, and I'll book the flight now." "
Chen Feng is still a little impatient. Li Chungang said that people come to buy his paintings from time to time, and he has accumulated many works over the years, about five or six hundred pieces.
Chen Feng felt that he had a high chance of digging treasure this time. A balding middle-aged man bought two paintings and won both.
There is no reason for him to go there in person and not be able to dig out the treasure.
