Antique Dealer

Chapter 75 Jealousy
After listening to Fang Hao's eloquent talk, Li Jikai smiled and clapped his hands: "Little brother is indeed an expert, everything is well-founded!"

As soon as an expert makes a move, he will know whether there is one. Li Jikai has seen all kinds of people. They look very ordinary, but in fact there are many people who are masters, so they don't judge people by their appearance. It's just that Fang Hao's performance is so outstanding. He looked at it with admiration.

"No, it's just some experience." Fang Hao smiled slightly, maintaining a humble and gentle temperament.

Of course, humility also depends on the target. If the other party is a sensible person like Li Jikai, he should be more humble.If the object of your modesty is Ji Dacheng, you may still feel that you are putting on an air, and even think that you are easy to bully and you will not get the respect you deserve.

Li Mingchao murmured in his heart, why didn't you say that, I really want to open your head and see how many things are inside.

Looking at Fang Hao's too young face, Ji Dacheng suddenly felt jealous: "Brother-in-law, why can't the author be Shen Shichong?"

Cheng He immediately pricked up his ears, wanting to know the reason.

Li Jikai glanced at Ji Dacheng, then smiled at Fang Hao and said: "There is a way to do one thing without labor and two masters, my little friend, please tell me."

Fang Hao also glanced at Ji Dacheng, and said with a smile: "It's mainly a matter of style. Shen Shichong is good at painting landscape paintings, with loose and elegant brushwork, rich ink colors, and well-textured dyeing. Painting mountains is rarely abrupt, clear and ancient. The landscapes, hills, valleys and green onions are the authentic works of the Yunjian School of Painting.

Many of his works have been handed down to the present, such as the volume of "Antique Landscape Painting" and the axis of "Tianxiang Bookstore Picture" in the Palace Museum.It can be seen from these paintings that he is a skilled painter who is good at composition, with fine cracks and thoughtful rendering.However, Dong Qichang's landscape paintings are elegant in brushstrokes, unconstrained in shape and mold, with strong cracks, which is obviously very different from Shen Shichong's style. "

Hearing this, Ji Dacheng was a little unconvinced again: "Since this painting is a copy, what's wrong with Shen Shichong painting according to Dong Qichang's style?"

Li Jikai couldn't bear it, and cursed: "You are so stupid! Fang Hao has already said clearly and clearly, this painting has Zhao Zuo's style characteristics, and it doesn't match Shen Shichong at all. Tell me You, don't you have a pig's brain!"

Ji Dacheng's face turned red from being scolded by Li Jikai, but he didn't dare to say anything, he could only put his hatred on Fang Hao's head, who let the root of all this be because Fang Hao was too good?
"One word from Dingjun is better than reading ten years of books!" Cheng He gave Fang Hao a thumbs up, and then asked Li Jikai about the price of this painting: "Mr. Li, I remember that Zhao Zuo's works are not handed down very much. This painting is copied by Zhao Zuo, what is its estimated value?"

Li Jikai thought about it for a while, and said: "First of all, we must declare that it is different from the inferior calligraphy and painting imitations in the market. The 'ghost pen' painters have no utilitarianism in their hearts, let alone a motive to harm others. They only want to comprehend seriously and draw charm. You can.

As for the general calligraphy and painting imitations without brush and ink, it is difficult for the imitators to grasp the true meaning of the brush and ink in the painting because they are not familiar with the connotation of the brush and ink in the excellent ancient paintings, lack the comprehensive artistic cultivation in their hearts, and the brushwork is vulgar and poor.Therefore, although this painting is a copy, it is still very good, and it is very useful for studying Zhao Zuo's artistic style.

Based on Zhao Zuo's current market conditions, I think that the conservative valuation of this painting can reach 500 million, and if some experts can confirm it, the valuation of this painting should go up to a higher level! "

Fang Hao didn't expect that Li Jikai's valuation of this painting was so high, because the system only got more than 400 million experience because he missed it, and the cost was only about 450 million.

Just considering that the value the system thinks is always lower than the market value, and Li Jikai himself likes it, the valuation he said is not outrageous.

Unlike Fang Hao, who already knew the value of this painting, Li Mingchao opened his mouth when he heard these words, but Fang Hao actually missed it again, and this time he even made 500 million yuan. Heavenly?

What made Li Mingchao even more jealous was that just now Fang Hao asked him if he wanted it, but he immediately refused. If he had known this, he should have gone up to take a look!
Fortunately, Li Mingchao has followed his uncle since he was a child, and has seen all kinds of joys and sorrows in the antique market. He quickly adjusted his mentality and felt that he was blinded by jealousy just now. He didn't know much about calligraphy and painting. Even if he went up to look, the result was the same.

Now he should be happy for Fang Hao's picking up the mistakes, and at the same time, he should study hard. Only when the knowledge is in place, he will not miss the opportunity when it is in front of him.

In contrast, Ji Dacheng did not have such a good attitude as Li Mingchao. When he heard that the painting in front of him was worth 500 million, and the key owner was a young man like Fang Hao, he almost made his face hideous because of jealousy.

"I've worked hard for nearly 20 years, and I haven't earned as much money as this painting. Why? The world is so unfair!"

When Cheng He heard the price, his eyes lit up. Although he was also jealous of Fang Hao, he was more interested in seeing the publicity opportunities this painting could bring. If he could get this painting on the first auction of his company , is also a small gimmick.

So, he hurriedly said politely: "Sir, I don't know if our company is honored to participate in our company's first auction of this painting. If you agree, I can make the decision. Our company will definitely promote it!"

Fang Hao said: "I don't know how many months it will take for your company's first auction to be held?"

Cheng He said, "March next year."

"Sorry, I can't wait that long."

Fang Hao spread his hands. He felt that this Cheng He's words were a bit dishonest, and naturally he didn't have a good first impression of this Huayou. Before he did a thorough investigation, he would not auction off his own things.

Before Cheng He could speak, Fang Hao said to Li Jikai: "Mr. Li, I wonder if you are interested in this painting?"

"Of course." Li Jikai nodded again and again, he was afraid that Fang Hao would not be afraid, and now he couldn't wish for it.

Seeing that Fang Hao was going to sell the painting to Li Jikai, Cheng He was very anxious, but he also had to take into account the rules of the antique shop, so he couldn't get in the way, so he could only watch Fang Hao and Li Jikai complete the deal.

Immediately, Li Jikai told Cheng He that he still wanted to study the painting carefully, and blocked Cheng He's mouth in advance.

After working on it for a long time, Cheng He watched a fat duck fly away from his eyes. Cheng He was quite depressed. The one in front of him was a client again, and he was not easy to offend, so he had to force his smile and lead Ji Dacheng out of the private room. .
