Tang Yin and Tang Bohu, there should be very few people in Kyushu who don't know his name, especially since the movie "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance".
A famous painter, poet and calligrapher in the Ming Dynasty.
And his awesomeness is not only reflected in ancient times, it is still the same even today.
How awesome is it?
As mentioned before, one of his fans alone is worth more than one million, not to mention his paintings. The most valuable one is "Songya Farewell Picture", which was sold in June 2013. It was sold for an astonishing price of 71.3 million at the Beijing Poly Eighth Anniversary Spring Auction, which is evident from this!
And today, now, they actually saw an authentic painting of Tang Yin with their own eyes! ?
How can this be! ?
But at this moment, Fabricio Wang said calmly: "Don't think about it, this is not the original work of Tang Bohu, otherwise its value would not be 2 million, but start at 10 million!"
Only then did everyone come back to their senses and couldn't help but laugh bitterly in unison.
That's right, if it is really an authentic work of Tang Yin, then it would be a shame to say "Tang Yin" if it doesn't go to auction.
Qin Wei sneered and said, "Who gave you the confidence to ask for two million for that fake painting?"
This guy was obviously an amateur. Fabricio Wang didn't bother to pay attention to it. He looked at the middle-aged man and said, "Now that you have seen the painting, how about it? Is it worth two million?"
Feng Xiuwen did not answer in a hurry. Instead, he took out his mask and put it on, and then moved closer to the painting to observe it carefully.
After about five or six minutes, he stood up and smiled bitterly: "Zhang Daqian's imitation, two million... the asking price is indeed not high."
Many people were suddenly enlightened after hearing this.
"It turns out to be Zhang Daqian's imitation. No wonder it's so lifelike."
"That guy claims to be a master forger who only appears once in five hundred years. The paintings he has copied the most are Tang Bohu's paintings. It's strange that they don't look like one."
"But even if it's a forgery, as long as it's definitely Zhang Daqian's, two million is indeed reasonable."
The crowd was talking a lot, but Qin Wei didn't listen to a word. He looked at Fabricio Wang coldly, his expression unspeakably ugly.
I just said it was a fake painting on the front foot, but I was slapped in the face on the back foot?
The key is to be a poor loser?
Coupled with his disrespectful and arrogant remarks towards himself before!
"Master..."
Feng Xiuwen hadn't noticed the strangeness in Qin Wei's expression yet. He lowered his voice and said softly: "Although this painting is a forgery, it was made by Daqian layman after all. It is still very valuable for collection. Two million...it's really not expensive. .”
After a pause, he continued: "And based on my understanding of Director Sun...he will definitely like it."
Closing his eyes and taking a breath, Qin Wei said coldly: "Okay, since you all said this painting is worth two million, then let's give it two million, Uncle Feng, give me the money!"
Feng Xiuwen didn't say much, took out his checkbook, signed the amount of two million and handed over the check.
Fabricio Wang checked it and after making sure it was correct, he simply handed the painting over to the other party.
He was angry because he was angry, but money still had to be earned. After all, he was still very short of money.
But after the transaction was completed, he keenly noticed that Qin Wei gave him a cold look, and that look was... full of murderous intent.
In this regard, Fabricio Wang just frowned slightly and threw it behind him.
He's not even afraid of a big bastard like Scar, let alone a mere second-generation playboy?
Turning around, he faced the owner of Zangzhen Pavilion and said, "Boss, do you have the Four Treasures of the Study for sale?"
The boss didn't answer, his eyes were dull.
In fact, it's not just him, it should be said that all the onlookers are like this.
Two million...
They witnessed with their own eyes an antique transaction worth up to two million!
And that's not the point. The point is that the painting... was bought by the young man in front of me for 50,000 yuan!
In just a moment, it definitely didn’t take more than a quarter of an hour, but it doubled by forty times. This damn thing... is definitely the biggest antique leak in recent years! ! !
The man with glasses cried. He sat on the ground and cried.
Because I lost a total of 1.95 million.
The boss of Zangzhen Pavilion also wanted to cry because he also suffered heavy losses.
You know, the man with glasses originally planned to sell it to him. If he didn't wear glasses, then the money...?
The onlookers were extremely envious, especially a few of them. They would not think about why Fabricio Wang could see the mystery in the painting. They only had one thought in their minds.
Why wasn't I the one who picked up this leak?
"Boss? Boss!?"
After shouting several times, the owner of Zangzhen Pavilion finally came to his senses. He looked at Fabricio Wang with complicated eyes for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "Sell, I have all the four treasures of the study. Do you want antiques or for personal use? "
Mud, you lost a big leak, you can't lose this business again.
Fabricio Wang didn't know what he was thinking, so he heard this and said, "For your own use."
Just kidding, even though he has nearly four million in his pocket now, antiques... are really not something he can afford now.
"Come in and chat." The owner of Zangzhen Pavilion said: "By the way, what is your psychological price?"
Fabricio Wang said casually: "As long as it's a little better."
"It's better, right? Then I recommend this to you. The pen holder is made of Hetian jade. The hair is pure wolf hair. It's absolutely exquisite."
Fabricio Wang took it and looked at it carefully in his hand. There was nothing wrong with Hetian jade, but its appearance was average, and Mao Feng was translucent and light yellow in color. It was indeed the tip of a weasel's tail, so he asked, "How much does it cost?"
"40000!"
I'll pour it! ! !
Fabricio Wang was stunned and said: "How many, how many?"
"40,000!" The boss of Zangzhen Pavilion said, "I don't want much. If you don't believe me, go out and ask, if you can find one cheaper than me, I will give it to you for free!"
Wang Chen believed it, because through physiognomy, he could easily tell whether the other party was lying, but this... a brush of this quality costs 40,000! ?
Closing his eyes and taking a breath, he said, "What about Mo?"
"Authentic Huangshan pine smoke ink, handmade by masters. Look at the carvings on it. It would take months to carve them out."
Huangshan pine smoke ink is also called Hui ink. It has been known as "the best in the world" since ancient times. Fabricio Wang took a look and confirmed that it was genuine and said nothing more. He just asked as usual: "How much is this?"
"55,000."
"..."
All right.
Resisting the urge to suffocate, Fabricio Wang mouth twitched and said, "What about the paper and inkstone?"
"For inkstones, I recommend this one. The high-quality eyebrow pattern inkstones from Meizikeng in Shexian County, one of the four famous inkstones, are not expensive. They are just the same price as the Langhao pen just now."
"If you want paper, just ask Shu Xuan in Xintang. By the way, how much do you want?"
Fabricio Wang: "...half a sword."
Half a sword means five cards. The boss said: "Then let's count it as 12,000 for you."
Fabricio Wang:......
I calculated, the pen and inkstone are 50,000 each, the ink is 55,000, and the paper is 12,000. Is this 167,000?
The key point is that in his opinion, these things are just average among the average, and they are just for beginners!
But he didn't want to think about it, what were his standards? That is the vision of Wu DaoZi, Wang Wei and other peerless masters.
If we really want to follow their advice, the penholder must be carved from ivory, the ink must be from Hu Kaiwen, and it must be of the highest quality. As for the inkstone? If it's not blue and white, fish brain jelly, etc. from Laokeng, can it still be used?
Needless to say, the final paper must be made by hand in Xuancheng, Xuanzhou.
Do you really want to follow this line of thinking...?
Then it’s not just a matter of tens of thousands of dollars, it has to start with a few hundred thousand dollars.
But forget it, painting, these external objects are secondary, the important thing is the painting skills, besides, this is actually countless times better than Tang Yin when he was down and out, what else is he not satisfied with?
After comforting himself for a while, Fabricio Wang gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, that's all, and add a piece of soot ink to me and swipe my card!"
