Inherit For Three Thousand Years

After Xiao Banxia accepted the crane incense burner, Hao Demao looked at Qin Huali and asked unconvinced: "What gift did you prepare? Can you take it out now?"

"It seems that you are not convinced, so you should open your eyes and take a good look."

Qin Huali opened the package, and an emerald statue of Avalokitesvara delivering a child was shining brightly under the light, eye-catching.

This statue of Avalokitesvara is obviously the handicraft of a jade carving master. It has a plump and soft body and a dignified and kind face. Mystery is hidden in relief, and solemnity is revealed in auspiciousness. Gone with the wind.

The overall clothing is complicated and gorgeous, the lower garment hangs naturally, the right hand holds the carved fiery red Ruyi, and the left hand echoes the boy who is close to him. The boy looks up to be cute and innocent, and the white lotus platform is set off against each other, reflecting the serenity and peace of Guanyin. , The state of great compassion and great compassion, appreciated from an artistic point of view, this is definitely a rare modern masterpiece.

But the artistic achievement is just the icing on the cake. What really shocks the heart of this Avalokitesvara statue is its appropriate complex colors and clear and transparent high-ice texture.

The overall color of this statue of Sending Avalokitesvara is light green, but its pectoral wreath and shawl brocade are golden yellow. With the addition of red jade ruyi, white lotus platform and boy, the whole jade carving unexpectedly presents a green, Red, yellow and white four colors.

Such a large piece of high-ice jade carving is already of high value, coupled with the just-right presentation of the four colors of happiness, wealth, longevity and joy, and the exquisite master-level jade carving technique, anyone who looks at it will know that this statue of Guanyin is sending a child The value must be beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Hao Demao was very confident about the gifts he sent out, it was hard for him to believe that the makeup that Qin Huali brought was more precious than his crane incense burner. But at this time, after seeing this jade statue of Avalokitesvara giving away a child, I no longer have the desire to compare with him.

He leaned close to the statue of Song Zi Guan, appreciating it for a while, and sighed: "This should be a modern jade carving, right? I don't know where you found it, and I didn't even hear the wind." .”

"Nowadays, good jade is hard to find, and there is nowhere to buy such a good jadeite. The Da Sixi jadeite I collected 40 years ago has never known what subject it should be carved into. It has been put on hold until this year. Some time ago, I heard that Miss Xiao is going to get married, so I found a master carver to carve this statue of Avalokitesvara." Qin Huali said quite proudly.

This time, he really put a lot of thought into choosing the makeup for Xiao Banxia. Among those present, he was the only one who had known Xiao Yao's master the earliest. If counting from Pan Wu's generation, he felt that he had the closest relationship with Xiao Yao among all the people present.

Not to mention his relationship with Pan Wu's generation, even after he got to know Xiao Yao, he has overcome several great difficulties because of Xiao Yao's help.

Although he paid a huge price for it,

But compared with these costs and the difficulties he encountered, this pay is completely worth it. For a real rich man like him, he never worries about spending too much money on something, what worries him the most is that even if you spend money, it won't solve the problem.

If you can prolong your life if you are willing to spend money, if you can cure terminal illness if you are willing to spend money, if you can overcome life and death difficulties if you are willing to spend money, are you willing to spend the money? The answer is yes, as long as you have enough money, then you must be willing.

Qin Huali has such a mentality now, there are many rich people in this world, and he is not the only one, but as far as he knows, there is one and only one who is as powerful as Xiao Yao.

He has known Pan Wu since he was young. He doesn't know how much Pan Wu's net worth is, but he knows one thing, that is, the wealth accumulated by Pan Wu is definitely more than 10 times that of his.

And all of Pan Wu's property has been inherited by his only disciple Xiao Yao, which means that Xiao Yao is not short of money.

A powerful man who is short of money may be able to be moved by his money, but a powerful man who is not short of money cannot bend his waist for five buckets of rice.

He must still encounter difficulties in the future, if he still wants to ask Xiao Yao for help, there is only one way - manage a good personal relationship with him.

Hao Demao took the initiative to contact the directors of the Xiaoyaohui, and proposed to add makeup to Xiao Banxia, ​​also out of the same consideration.

This proposal was initiated by Hao Demao. If he wanted to overwhelm Hao Demao in this matter, he could only focus on the gift.

Judging from the reaction at the scene, his thoughts were indeed not in vain.

As long as he can satisfy Xiao Banxia and her parents, he will naturally be able to satisfy Xiao Yao. If he can achieve this goal, his thoughts will not be in vain.

Although Xiao Banxia couldn't estimate the value of this statue of Avalokitesvara, she had gained some experience in the valuation of jadeite products under the influence of her ears and eyes during this period of time.

She felt that the value of this jade Guanyin statue was likely to be much more valuable than the pair of crane incense burners that Hao Demao gave her. She didn't even dare to ask for the pair of crane incense burners, so how could she dare to accept such a precious emerald as a gift of Avalokitesvara?

This time she didn't even seek Xiao Yao's opinion and said directly: "Da Sixi's jade carving is also of the high ice variety. Let alone seeing it with my own eyes, I haven't even heard of it. Your gift is truly amazing." It's too expensive, I really can't accept it."

Xiao Banxia's firm tone surprised Qin Huali, "For you girls, getting married is the most important thing in your life. The importance of this matter is no different from the second reincarnation. This is The wedding gift I gave you should be the most precious gift I gave you in my life. The most important meaning of this gift is my most sincere blessing to you, and the value of the gift itself is second.

This is my heart, I hope you will not refuse. You don't have to worry about the value of this gift. All of us here today have the same blessings for you. The value of the gift itself is different, just because of the amount of wealth we have accumulated. "

Xiao Yao knew that without his nodding, his elder sister would definitely not accept such an expensive gift. The more expensive the gift, the greater the favor he owes for this matter, and he is well aware of the old lady's thoughts.

"The meaning of this Guanyin statue is really good. Today, my sister has received so many makeups that can be used as family heirlooms. If there are no heirs in the future, so many family heirlooms will have to be dusted in the box. "

After making a joke, Xiao Yao continued: "It is said that wealth cannot last for three generations, but Chairman Qin's family is an exception. When it is passed down to Chairman Qin, their family has been rich for four generations. It has been accumulated for generations. I don’t know how many family heirlooms Chairman Qin’s family has. He randomly picked out a stone from the bottom of the box and gave it to you as a makeup addition. Essentially, but this kind of heart is definitely heavy, and when you have a chance in the future, you have to thank Chairman Qin very much."

Hearing Xiao Yao point out the value of this jade statue of Avalokitesvara, many people present were shocked. Although they had already guessed the value of this emerald jade carving, but hearing the valuation given by Xiao Yao with their own ears, it was inevitable that their hearts would beat faster. Although this emerald jade carving did not belong to them, they were very excited to be able to see such a treasure with their own eyes.

"Old Qin is the one who hides the most among us. His family has been rich and powerful for more than 100 years. No one knows how rich his family is. He picked out a stone from the ashes at home. Just put one end of my carefully selected crane incense burner, even if I say I am not convinced, everyone will know that I am not convinced. It is just a stone, Miss Xiao, just accept it, if you want Otherwise, he would be ashamed to say that he beat me in this matter." Hao Demao also persuaded.

Hao Demao's words are not important, but since Xiao Yao asked her to accept the gift, she must follow Xiao Yao's suggestion on such an important occasion.

Hao Demao, a tycoon in Hong Kong Island, and Qin Huali, a wealthy businessman in Southeast Asia, presented two priceless treasures one after another. The people present were looking forward to what kind of gifts the other directors of the Xiaoyaohui would give.

Some people couldn't help thinking that if they were also members of the Xiaoyaohui, if the price gap between the gifts they gave later was too big, some people might not be able to step down.

People are looking forward to the precious gifts that will appear one after another, but at the same time, they want to see the scene where some people are embarrassed and unable to get off the stage. Although expectations are a bit contradictory, this is what many people think in their hearts.

Zeng Guowen was the third to stand up.

Some time ago Xiao Yao went to Qingcheng, and he felt that his relationship with Xiao Yao was getting closer. After meeting Xiao Yao this time, his every move seemed much more intimate than before.

Holding a scroll in his hand, he said: "We all know that Chairman Xiao is a master of contemporary art. As Chairman Xiao's only sister, Ms. Xiao has been nurtured for a long time, so she must also be full of books. Since she is full of books, Of course there must be calligraphy and painting to match. Some time ago I made a special trip to Taiwan Island and exchanged one of his collections with an old friend for many years, and the painting in my hand is this collection.”

While Zeng Guowen was speaking, he put the painting in his hand on the table and slowly opened it.

The size of the picture scroll is quite large, about 1.3 meters in length and more than 80 centimeters in width. After the whole painting is fully unfolded, a picture scroll of fiery red mountains and autumn scenery is immediately presented in front of people.

The whole picture scroll seems to be completely occupied by red Chinese painting, which is really rare and unique. Everyone present, whether they understand art appreciation or not, were all attracted by this painting.

In traditional landscape paintings, there is always a large blank space above and below the screen, but this painting cuts off the peaks and slopes, adopting a full-frame composition without leaving any room.

This kind of composition forces the audience's eyes to focus on the mountain, creating a sense of shock like looking up at a monument. In addition, the technique of this painting deliberately weakens the perspective and strengthens the sense of plane.

The seven or eight-story mountains in the main scene of the picture are almost compressed to the same plane, blocking the audience vertically like a door panel. In this way, through the monumental and door panel composition, the visual impact of the mountain shape is greatly enhanced, highlighting the impressive momentum of the mountains. Let people watch it, and they all have a sense of shock.

This kind of composition is really special. Some of the people at the scene have some skills in traditional Chinese painting, so they couldn't help but come closer to watch it carefully.

After getting closer, it is worth noting that although the three-dimensionality of the picture has been deliberately enhanced, it is not completely flat.

On the one hand, the hierarchical relationship of the near, middle and distant views is treated in a manner similar to that of bas-relief. On the other hand, in order to create the deep and vastness of the mountains, the creator made a deep article in the upper left corner of the screen.

This kind of article is simply the first of its kind, which makes people admire.

The picture scroll seems to open a window here, so that people can see the layers of distant mountains in the dense clouds reaching the sky from the foot of the mountain, and continue to lead to the infinitely deep and long space.

With such a distinctive painting, not to mention these accomplished Chinese painting lovers, even many ordinary people present guessed the name of this painting.

That's right, this painting is Li Keran's famous "Wan Shan Hong Bian"!

Qin Huali originally thought that the gift he had prepared would definitely be the best, far exceeding the value of the congratulatory gifts prepared by others. But after seeing this "Wan Shan Hong Bian", he no longer dared to think so.

Although the current market price of this painting is lower than his Emerald Sending Son Guanyin, the difference should not be too big, that is, a difference of 30 to 50 million.

If you meet a collector you particularly like, you may even be able to make up for the price difference of 30 to 50 million yuan.

Although Qin Huali is a well-known wealthy businessman, he is not the kind of person who only knows how to make money. His accomplishments in traditional Chinese painting are quite extraordinary.

After appreciating it carefully, he said, "It seems that you really took great pains to choose a gift that suits your wishes for Miss Xiao. Li Keran's masterpiece "Wan Shan Hong Bian" can be exchanged by you, I said I am absolutely convinced. As far as I know, from 1961 to 1964, Mr. Li Keran created a total of seven "Wanshan Hongbian" in different sizes.

Three of them are now in the collections of the National Art Museum of China, the Chinese Academy of Painting and Rongbaozhai; one is in the collection of Mr. Keran's family;

If I guessed correctly, your painting should have been exchanged from a collector in Taiwan, right? "

"I didn't expect Mr. Qin to be so knowledgeable about Chinese paintings and collections. You guessed it right. This painting was indeed exchanged by me from that friend in Taiwan. This painting is booming. I think It is very suitable as a wedding gift, but I don’t know if Miss Xiao likes it or not?” Although Zeng Guowen was sure that Xiao Banxia would like this painting, he still said it modestly.
