The next thing to appear is, of course, the ancient Chinese painting that everyone is looking forward to.

Of course, these ancient Chinese paintings are also collected by the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. Of course, Jin Muchen will not take out the most valuable cultural relics.

For example, Yan Liben's "Picture of Emperors of the Past Dynasties", Song Huizong's copy of the famous Tang Dynasty painter Zhang Xuan's "Danning and Training Picture", and Song Huizong's "Five-color Parrot Picture" signed and signed, and the "Ming Emperor Watching Horses".

In Jin Muchen's view, these paintings are priceless treasures, which belong to the most quintessential part of ancient Chinese paintings, even if the value of these paintings is not as high as those of the Western Impressionist oil paintings that were auctioned before.

But Jin Muchen also didn't plan to take action. After all, as a Chinese, there is always some ethnic complex. The paintings of these ancient famous masters are best collected by himself, a Chinese.

As for other ancient Chinese paintings? This is not impossible.

After all, the fame, cultural relic value, and historical value of these paintings are not as high as those of the previous ones, and they can only be regarded as antiques in the general category.

And such antiques can of course be sold. After all, antiques are only valuable when they are circulated.

If you collect them all, +☆+☆, x. It doesn't make much sense, especially for the antique market and collectors.

The sizes of these paintings are not very large, and the price is not the top one, but it is one of the most popular on the market.

Both for Chinese collectors. Or for foreign collectors.

For Chinese collectors. such a painting. The price is not high, and it is the work of their own nation. They can appreciate and appreciate the beauty of these paintings, so the significance of cultural relics is more than value.

For Western collectors, they may not understand the meaning of these paintings, nor appreciate the beauty of these paintings, but for them. The preservation and appreciation of these paintings is better.

And because the price is medium, the size is small, it is convenient to carry, and it is easier to realize.

This is the same as the low-end and middle-end houses in the real estate market, which are far better to sell than luxury villas.

So in fact, those rich people who didn't take action before are just waiting for a batch of ancient Chinese paintings to appear.

When Jin Muchen started at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, he didn't just stare at the works of top famous artists. You must know that the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston has more than 15,000 ancient Chinese paintings in its collection.

In addition to this, about 10% of them are famous masterpieces. Most of the other works were created by some unknown painters at that time.

These paintings are viewed through the eyes of Chinese painting appraisal. In fact, many of them are not high-quality goods, but only become antiques because they have been preserved for a long time.

And such an ancient painting, because it is not a masterpiece, the auction value has been greatly discounted, so the price cannot be considered high.

If you go through the proper way to auction, most of them are in the range of hundreds of thousands of dollars, to the range of one million dollars.

This kind of price is more popular, and of course it is also the favorite type of antiques for the rich present.

After all, in addition to Chinese collectors, these Western collectors collect such ancient paintings entirely because they value their preservation and appreciation.

And those wealthy people who are not very clean are even more eager for such paintings.

Just imagine, if one day they are going to flee because of an incident, are they willing to carry millions of cash with them, or are they willing to carry such a large denomination 'check' that can be cashed at any time?

Moreover, compared with those high-priced oil paintings that cost millions or tens of millions, it is more convenient to realize such a 'small check', and even if it is realized on the way to escape, the loss will be minimized.

So don't look at the oil paintings sold in the previous auctions, they are all worth millions and tens of millions, but in fact, these ancient Chinese paintings that will appear next are the highlight of this auction.

Many people are already gearing up and can't wait.

And Jin Muchen stole the original intention of these paintings, and also hoped that these paintings could return to our country as much as possible, so of course he notified Wang Xueming of this auction long ago, and asked him to bring a few more friends. Bring some extra cash.

After all, although he hopes that these ancient Chinese paintings can be returned to China as much as possible, it is not easy to do it too obviously.

It was impossible for him to donate all these paintings to China anonymously. He did not have the good habit of being Lei Feng.

Secondly, it is impossible for him to organize a special auction only for Chinese people. After all, his tendency is too obvious.

Originally, there were people in the fbi who suspected that he was related to this case. If he was so generous in selling these Chinese paintings to the Chinese, then people would definitely suspect that this case might be related to national sentiment.

At that time, as long as the surveillance is carried out, it can be found out that he is a Chinese who appeared at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston for three consecutive days before the incident.

Although those guys may not be able to find evidence, they can let you live under their magnifying glass in the future. That kind of life is not what Jin Muchen wants.

So there is only so much he can do now, and the next thing is Wang Xueming and the 'group of relatives and friends' brought by him!

Having said that, Wang Xueming really trusted him. This time he didn't come alone, and he also brought more than a dozen friends who were 'like-minded' with him.

Moreover, he actually saw an expert group led by Professor Yang at the scene. If Wang Xueming and the others participated in this auction in private capacity, then Professor Yang and the others would definitely be representatives of the 'national team'.

After all, there is a lot of rumors about this auction. It is impossible for Professor Yang and the others to not know about it. As a collection institution that can be called a high-ranking country in the country, how can they miss such a good opportunity for the return of cultural relics?

You have to know how many times Professor Yang and the others have been to the Boston Museum of Art in the past. After reading the paintings of our ancestors, everyone will sigh about the artistic talent of our ancestors, without exception. All that's left is heartache.

The paintings of my ancestors are not seen by my own people. Instead, they are hung in museums in foreign countries for those foreign devils who don’t even know the meaning of square characters to watch and play casually. For them, cultural relic workers, Is it not a humiliation, and grief.

So this time there is such an opportunity to get those treasures back, they will not miss it, even if everyone knows that these paintings are stolen goods, they can't miss it.

Anyway, back then, when those foreign devils got these paintings out, they didn't know they went through the formal channels, so when we got them back, we didn't go through the formal channels, so what?

Besides, there may be relevant legal regulations in Italy. As long as you shoot something at an auction, it is your legal collection.

So the 'national team' is here, and this time a lot of funds have been engraved on it...

The following Tibetan friends are gearing up, and they have long been impatient, and soon the ancient Chinese paintings will all appear.

At that time, when Jin Muchen started at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, he not only stole the few famous works that the Boston Museum of Fine Arts regarded as the treasures of the museum, but also the representative works of some slightly famous painters in the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. Never let go.

At that time, he took away nearly a thousand paintings in total, but the best part of them were collected by himself, and the rest were only relatively fine paintings left by some unknown authors.

Of course, in order not to disappoint everyone, some representative works of well-known painters in those eras are also mixed.

For example, Wu Zhen's "Caoting Poetry Inspiration Scroll" in the Yuan Dynasty, Wang Zhenpeng's "Aunt Nursing Buddha Scroll" in the Yuan Dynasty, and Wang Yuan's "Peach, Bamboo and Mandarin Ducks" in the Yuan Dynasty.

Qiu Ying's "The Scroll of Playing Konghou" in the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Fu's "Three Talents and Interests" in the Ming Dynasty, Zhao Xuezhe's "Photo Scroll of Ronghu Lake" in the Qing Dynasty, and Li Xiuyi's "Returning Boat Carrying Stones" in the Qing Dynasty, etc. .

These painters are not first-class famous artists in their dynasties, they are just some middle-renowned painters, and their handed down works are not more than this one, so the historical and archaeological value of these paintings is not too high. , but the value of antiques is not too low, just in line with the psychological price of those rich people.

Jin Muchen roughly estimated the value of these paintings, the quality is better, the age is a little older, that is, two or three million US dollars, and almost one million US dollars.

The remaining dozens of paintings are relatively low-end paintings, all of which are works by some third-rate painters in those dynasties~www.wuxiaspot.com~, some painters are not even famous at all, and others The painting, I don't even know who painted it.

Of course, these paintings cannot be compared with the first-class artists of the same era, but compared with other paintings of the same era, they are still exquisite, so the prices are mostly in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, to hundreds of thousands of dollars, and one million dollars. .

Once these paintings were launched, they attracted the attention of the bidders present.

Everyone sent their own appraisers to the stage to argue the authenticity. Although these paintings did not contain the paintings of top famous artists that everyone expected, but after all, it was just as Jin Muchen had estimated before.

These paintings are medium in length, long in age, high in cultural relic value, easy to carry, and have good liquidity, so soon the warm-up of those bidders with different thoughts will be over.

As soon as the auction started, it went straight to a white-hot state. Almost every painting would be scrambled, especially those paintings that could be called names, which were very popular. Millions of dollars were for these people, Not a big deal at all. (To be continued...)
