Eyes open to the money in the city

Chapter 166 The real baby

Qin Baoxiang was born in a pawn shop following his father Qin Anyin. There is an old saying: "If you want to get rich, open a pawn shop."This shows how profitable this business is.

However, as time goes by, the habit of doing this business cannot be changed.

Even though Qin Baoxiang has a strong talent in business, he eventually expanded the pawnshop into a huge listed company.

However, the habit of collecting good things has long been rooted in his heart.

Especially as I get older, I become more obsessed with calligraphy and painting.He considers himself extremely smart throughout his life and has built a huge business empire.

However, it is a pity that when breaking through many difficulties, it also brought diseases that are difficult to heal to the body.Many Chinese medicine masters and health preservation scholars have told Qin Baoxiang.It is said that calligraphy and painting can cultivate sentiment, which is the best secret of longevity in the world.

As a result, Qin Baoxiang became even more obsessed with calligraphy and painting.

Sadly, he really has no talent in this area.As mentioned before, what business people are good at is managing people, vision, forward-looking vision, etc.Those are very rational.However, calligraphers and painters are often emotional people.

However, although his own attainments in calligraphy and painting are mediocre, after a long period of time, he has cultivated his vision.

A painting can be seen as a real thing before his eyes.This kind of thing has never happened to Qin Baoxiang in his life.

So, he immediately took out the magnifying glass to watch.

At first glance, it’s even more unbelievable!
Qin Baoxiang has seen countless works of calligraphy and painting masters throughout the ages.However, it is comparable to the work in front of me in a realistic painting.Qin Baoxiang felt that those were definitely very few.

Because, under the magnifying glass, the bamboo texture in this painting is clearly visible, as if a moso bamboo is really magnified!
The natural texture and markings are definitely not artificial.The beauty that can only be endowed by nature has been presented with a brush!

The cicada painted by Qi Baishi was directly sold for [-] million!

However, Qin Baoxiang knew that the two paintings could not be compared together.Because Qi Baishi painted animals.When the painting is magnified thirty times, people's eyes will feel the cicada's wings vibrate.

However, this painting is a dead thing and cannot have that effect.

However, in Qin Baoxiang's heart, he could no longer evaluate this painting.

Therefore, Qin Baoxiang did not want to explore the origin of this painting at that time.The only person who can enter this collection room is either his father or his daughter.

Presumably, it must be because his daughter knew that his birthday was coming soon, so she quietly surprised him.

Therefore, the first thing Qin Baoxiang did was to find someone to authenticate the painting.

He was born in the industry, so he naturally knew many masters of appreciating treasures.Even for the appraisers of Tianhai Pawnshop, there are hundreds of people in total.

It's a pity that after he invited all the most famous calligraphy and painting appraisers and painters he knew, and even the curators of major museums, to look at the painting.

Qin Baoxiang was completely dumbfounded!

Everyone agrees that they have never seen a work with this style of brushwork.

However, they all felt that the attainment of this painting was comparable to that of the world's top realist masters.

This is also normal, after all, Populus euphratica's vision is to trace and integrate some similar skills.Instead of copying and imitating.

The most worth mentioning is that because Qin Baoxiang was rich, he used ancient pens, inks, papers and inkstones.

At that time Hu Yang was using his set of guys.

Therefore, many people think that this is a master of calligraphy and painting buried in history.Only a few people discovered that it was a new painting.

At that time, the two sides who argued hard for reason had a big blush.

At that time, Qin Baoxiang had to call Qin Zixuan to inquire.Is it the painting she left behind?

Of course Qin Zixuan replied, "Yes."

Because of this matter, Hu Yang never mentioned it to Qin Zixuan.However, except for Populus euphratica, it is impossible for any other outsider to have entered the storage room.It is impossible for Qin Baoxiang not to know what his family did.

In Qin Zixuan's heart, Hu Yang wanted to surprise her.To please the old man in advance.If she broke the news, wouldn't she not give Hu Yang face?
So, she said that she was too busy and would talk about it when she had time to go home.

Qin Baoxiang asked when the work was made, and Qin Zixuan felt that it should be Hu Yang's work.That is to say, it is the work of modern people.

This resolved a dispute.

However, from now on, those who stubbornly believe that it is an ancient work have been dwarfed by those who can see the real time...

At this time, after Qin Zixuan mentioned it, Qin Baoxiang became interested again...

"Xuanxuan, this painting made me blush a lot. At that time, I found a lot of calligraphy and painting appraisers, as well as current calligraphy and painting celebrities, to see it. Those appraisers couldn't recognize it and didn't say anything. . Even several famous masters praised this painting and said they were ashamed of it. Where did you get it? "

In fact, when Qin Zixuan saw this painting, she could tell at a glance that it was painted by Hu Yang.It's not that her eyesight is so good.

It's just "feeling".Just like Puyi is also a master of appraisal, after seeing it too much, the mysterious feeling will naturally come out.

Moreover, the painting was hung in the center of many paintings and had been framed. It was so conspicuous that Qin Zixuan could not fail to notice...

Qin Zixuan replied, "It was given by a friend of mine."

Qin Baoxiang nodded, "When doing business, it is good to make more friends. Friends with good taste are even more rare. Do you know who the author of this painting is?"

Qin Baoxiang said "who" instead of "who", which is enough to show his admiration for this work.

In fact, Qin Baoxiang already knew from the previous conversation that Qin Zixuan knew the painter himself.

However, a father should not appear too impatient in doing things in front of his daughter.This is what he taught his daughter earnestly, how could he not do it.

Although Qin Zixuan could hear Qin Baoxiang's tone, she highly respected the painter himself.However, once I thought that these things had nothing to do with business and would not benefit Populus euphratica much, I lost interest...

"It was given by the artist himself. Why, you admire this artist so much, do you want to recruit a son-in-law?"

Qin Zixuan's seemingly joking words eased the family a lot.Especially Qin Zixuan's mother.Seeing that her daughter's words made the atmosphere of the already heavy meal a lot better, she gave up the teaching that she wanted the child not to talk too much.

However, Qin Baoxiang still spoke out. "Girl, can't you speak more reservedly?"

In fact, when Qin Zixuan said it, her heart skipped a beat, and she really hoped that Qin Baoxiang would say what she expected.

However, when he heard that Qin Baoxiang was really talking about education, he immediately fell silent.Pretending to eat, pretending not to hear.

Seeing his daughter like this, Qin Baoxiang couldn't help but want to teach her a lesson...

"It's all because of your mother..."

The old man waved his hand, "Okay, why are you so particular about talking as a family? It's like a family if you can say such things!"

Seeing that the old man spoke, Qin Baoxiang could only nod, "You are right."

Then, he looked at his daughter and said, "If such a highly accomplished painter is the right age for you, I really don't care about asking him to be my son-in-law. Hehe..."

Obviously, Qin Baoxiang's words were to ease the atmosphere.

Sure enough, seeing Qin Baoxiang speak like this, everyone relaxed a lot again.They all looked at Qin Zixuan with a smile.

Qin Zixuan's face suddenly turned red, and when she pretended to pick up some food, she said, "He just graduated from college, so he should be about my age?"

"What?" Qin Baoxiang and Qin Anyin said in unison.

Qin Baoxiang looked at his father and said, "You are the father, you speak first."

Qin Anyin said: "That's so rare! At this age, most people are just children, or at the age of unruly. It's really rare to have such achievements."

Just now, when Qin Baoxiang talked about this painting, he mentioned all the evaluations of the appraisers, calligraphers and painters.

Therefore, in Qin Anyin's eyes, this person might be more powerful than Populus euphratica, right?In his heart, Hu Yang is already a rare genius.

However, the genius level of this person seems to be far above that of Populus euphratica?

Qin Baoxiang nodded, "Really? If what you said is true, I really don't mind giving him this opportunity."

Qin Zixuan is a girl after all, and she has reached her limit just now.

At this time, happiness came too fast, and she didn't know what to say.

Who knows, the thinking of the elderly is different from that of the young.Just when he mentioned that outstanding painter, the old man thought of Populus euphratica.

At this time, seeing the awkward atmosphere, I couldn't help asking: "By the way, my good granddaughter, the one under your hand named Hu Yang is also amazing. I wonder if he came today?"

Qin Zixuan secretly praised grandpa for his ability!
She thought the old man had figured out the key.He hurriedly said: "Come, your son will allow me to bring someone. He is the best person I know. Of course I will take him."

In fact, the old man thought of Populus euphratica for a moment.Not as much as Qin Zixuan thought.

"Why don't you call him over? This guy is pretty good. He keeps running to my house during this period. He is much more filial than you all."

Qin Zixuan was about to say "OK", when she saw that her father's expression was not quite right.Today is Qin Baoxiang's birthday, as a daughter, she doesn't want to make her father bad.

I had no choice but to pout at Old Qin...

"Ahem..." Qin Baoxiang said: "Hu Yang did a good job, we will definitely remember it. However, it is rare for us to have a family meal today, so don't call outsiders."

As he spoke, he looked at Qin Anyin. "What do you say?"

The old man nodded, "Today is your birthday, you have the final say."

"Hey~" Qin Anyin pointed to the audience and said, "That kid is looking at something! Let's take a look, and we all say that this kid has good eyesight, what objects can we choose?"

Seeing the old man's eyes light up when he saw Populus euphratica, Qin Baoxiang felt a little unhappy.In his heart, Hu Yang's education, family, and experience are too poor.He didn't regard Hu Yang as a candidate son-in-law at all.

At first, when he couldn't recognize the painting, the idea of ​​asking Hu Yang to take a look came to his mind.However, it was immediately rejected.

In his heart, the so-called miracles of Populus euphratica are more like accidents.Not like lasting knowledge and eyesight.Maybe one day it will be revealed.

However, even if Qin Zixuan has a good eye for Hu Yang at this time, when Hu Yang makes mistakes, maybe Qin Zixuan will understand.

They are not from the same world...

At this time, Populus euphratica was watching among many objects.He didn't focus on painting and calligraphy.After all, the last time he was at Qin Zixuan's house, he had seen all the paintings and calligraphy.

However, the other objects here are not high-quality goods, and Populus euphratica is somewhat lacking in interest.

It wasn't until he saw a tattered book that his eyes lit up!
This is an item in the Qin family's collection that no one can see the source of.

A very worn book, already tattered by the erosion of the years.

Moreover, the handwriting on the book is not the handwriting of a master.To most people, it is just an ordinary antique.

Because not all antiques are valuable.

Those that are valuable have either artistic value or archaeological value.

However, it is clear that this broken book lacks both values.

This is a medical book, moreover, a manuscript medical book.When it is broken, not a single prescription or diagnosis is sound.Therefore, there is no value.

However, in the eyes of Hu Yang, a broken book that is worthless in the eyes of others is the real treasure!
