Chapter 59 Excited
Ning Weimin, who had no idea that he had a mother-in-law-to-be, was so excited that he almost fainted.
He was so impatient that he ran into the gallery where real paintings and calligraphy works were hung and took a look. The actual situation was even better than he expected.
A large number of calligraphy and paintings by famous modern artists occupy almost all the wall space.
Dazzling variety!
He even effortlessly recognized several works that would become famous at auctions and set records worth hundreds of millions in the future.
That was all hyped up by numerous media reports, including special editions of industry magazines.
What kind of visual impact is this?
One word, "Hi"!
He sincerely believed that these paintings and calligraphy on the wall would survive twenty years.
It is even enough to crush the exhibits in the relevant exhibition halls of a national museum.
Ning Weimin and the salesperson here took another look.
Not only are all the paintings on the walls authentic, there are also many paintings that have not been taken out in the store.
And every piece of calligraphy and painting was indeed collected personally from these painters.
Rong Baozhai even has the payment slip from that year as evidence, but the purchase price is not convenient to disclose.
So only after buying the painting, the store agreed to show it to customers.
As for the sales price of these paintings and calligraphy, it is similar to what the elder sister outside just revealed.
It is more expensive than the Xibei goods with woodcut watermarks, but only a few times more expensive.
Qi Baishi’s current price is thirty yuan per square foot.
Xu Beihong and Zhang Daqian both paid 25 yuan per square foot.
Pan Tianshou, Chen Banding, Fu Baoshi and Li Keran paid fifteen yuan per square foot.
Huang Zhou, Wu Zuoren, Wang Xuetao and Ren Bonian were twelve yuan.
Lu Yanshao and Huang Binhong only cost eight yuan.
Liu Bingsen was the worst, it was only 80 cents.
Boom, stir-fried leeks and green onions!
Although it's not as cheap as Zudu'er Cai, it's still a once-in-a-lifetime street stall price.
Ning Weimin looked at the masterpieces by famous artists all over the wall and was so greedy that he almost drooled.
Because his brain is so fast, he is very good at this thing.
It is easy to get an approximate profit margin and even make a horizontal comparison.
Take Qi Baishi’s large-scale works as an example. Large-scale works of eight feet and two feet can only be purchased for two to three hundred yuan now.
After 2009, the price of such a work is undoubtedly calculated in hundreds of millions.
This is equivalent to saying that one yuan spent on buying paintings and calligraphy now can become at least 500,000 or even 1 million in the future.
Such an increase has far exceeded that of Ning The monkey ticket in Weimin's hand is gone.
Although eight points of a monkey ticket can turn into twelve thousand, it is scary enough.
After some conversion, the maximum increase is only 150,000 times.
And don’t forget, Qi Baishi’s works are the most recognized in the market these days, and their prices are far higher than others.
For painters of the same level as him, the acquisition cost of works is much lower, which means that the increase will be greater, and there is a lot of potential.
For example, Xu Beihong and Zhang Daqian, the price of their works is nearly 30% lower than that of Qi Baishi. This is just a little bit worse.
There is also Huang Binhong, the biggest dark horse among modern calligraphers and painters.
Also as a member of the future billion dollar club.
At this time, the artistic value of his paintings was far from being discovered, and they were seriously ignored or even left out.
His works are actually only half the price of his student Li Keran.
Like the "Qishan Picture" on the wall, it was a masterpiece that sold for 245 million in 2013.
The current price is only ninety-eight yuan, what a big omission!
No wonder the old saying goes that grain and cloth are very profitable, Chinese medicine pawnshops are 100% profitable, and antiques, calligraphy and paintings are profitable at a thousand cents.
It’s evident what a bargain it is!
But the most important thing, the most critical thing, is that Ning Weimin also knows that the future trend of calligraphy and painting is destined to produce a phenomenon of "value inversion".
In the next few decades, the market for ancient calligraphy and painting will be far less popular than modern calligraphy and painting.
If by 2009, this painting of Shen Zhou would be so impressive that he would be tied with Qi Baishi.
Shi Tao? It's basically enough to rely on Zhang Daqian.
This also means that the two paintings and calligraphy sold today are worth it.
Ning Weimin will spend another two or three hundred to buy two paintings from this one, and he will be able to get his money back in thirty years!
If you can't do this business anymore, you won't be able to do it!
Hey, that’s funny. Thinking back to the time when he traveled through time, he once thought that besides saving stamps, it would be a good deal to collect antiques and hardwood furniture.
Oops, look at it now, isn’t that a stupid car?
Yes, these things are cheap, but that is only compared vertically with the appreciation space of these things themselves.
If we make a horizontal comparison with modern calligraphy and painting of the same period.
Collecting antiques and furniture is actually not cost-effective at all, but the price is much worse.
Just trust the hardwood furniture in the store. A chair costs fifteen or twenty yuan, and an Eight Immortals table costs fifty or sixty yuan.
The same goes for porcelain. If you buy something decent in the ghost market, it will cost you more than ten yuan or dozens of yuan.
Even if they are all right, how high can these things go in the future?
The appreciation space of miscellaneous products is not as good as that of furniture and woodware, and the value of furniture and woodware is not as good as that of porcelain.
Even for porcelain, if it can be sold for tens of millions in the future, it will be considered awesome, but hundreds of millions will be too difficult.
There must also be a prerequisite: it is an official kiln and a rare product.
Taken together, whether antiques or wooden furniture, the basic appreciation space is roughly between hundreds of thousands to several million.
What kind of capital utilization rate is this?
Compared with modern calligraphy and painting, it has shrunk at least ten times, even the monkey ticket cannot compare.
Besides, getting involved with cultural relics is also very risky. If you don't do it well, you could be charged.
Besides, wooden furniture takes up a lot of space. Where will you put the furniture after you buy it?
In short, one thing is the same: there is no collection of modern calligraphy and painting that is so upright and comfortable.
This can only mean that people have to use their brains before doing something.
Collection must also be adapted to the current conditions, and the specific situation must be analyzed in detail.
To be honest, at the moment, the biggest benefit of collecting is undoubtedly hidden in these modern paintings and calligraphy.
If you really want to make a fortune, the best way is of course to buy antiques in ghost markets, sell them, and then turn around and buy modern paintings and calligraphy.
That's a bag of sand, a house of gold, a sweet deal with huge profits...
That's it, the more I think about it, the more beautiful it becomes, and Ning Weimin feels happy.
Does he still have to think about what he should do next?
Hurry back to the repair room to discuss with Kang Shude.
Coincidentally, he had just whispered to the old man, bowed and nodded, and got approval.
Director Song brought the accountant to deliver the money.
When Ning Weimin saw it, he rushed over to greet him.
"Director Song, can I discuss something with you again?"
But this startled Director Song. He thought that this matter had become complicated again, so he quickly told Chou Chou Speaking of which.
"No, no, no, have you issued the receipt? You can't change your mind now..."
"Don't get me wrong, I have no other intention. I just want to buy some more modern calligraphy and paintings from your store. Can you help me?"
Director Song was relieved now, but he was still a little puzzled. .
"Then...of course that's no problem. You can buy whatever you like. There are no restrictions, so why is it convenient?"
"Hey, I don't want to It’s a discount. I heard from the salesperson that your old customers have discounts, so we can’t be considered strangers, right?”
Seeing Ning Weimin’s face. Smile, he is completely different from the San Qingzi look just now.
Now Director Song really understood that he dared to fall in love with Ning Weimin for following the rules in order to find another advantage.
He only thought it was funny and didn't take it seriously, thinking it was just a matter of eight cents.
“Oh, okay, then I’ll give you a 10% discount.”
“Can it be...can it be cheaper? I want to buy a few more pieces.”
>
Director Song shook his head, feeling that this guy was really a little greedy.
He ignored Ning Weimin and turned to talk to Kang Shude.
"Old sir, you should know that this is how we treat old customers. There are rules and regulations in the store, and we must treat them equally."
Seeing Kang Shude nod, Ning Weimin didn't care anymore.
But he still has something to ask Director Song.
"Then, can you go to the gallery with me later? It's best if you find someone to explain it to me. I have a lot to buy!"
Director Song couldn't help laughing.
"Is this necessary? How much can you buy? Look back at which one you like, just write it down and come to me to sign it."
"No, there are really a lot of them. I'm afraid they won't give it to me even if I don't have your signature. Besides, it would be troublesome to look for it back and forth. It's better to ask for it then and just wrap it up..."
"It's really true. Quite a lot? You are so young... OK, I want to see how much you can buy. The more, the better."
