My 1999

Chapter 648 Hanhai Spring Shooting

"Mr. Xu, Madam, I want to go back and keep an eye on you, so I'll excuse you now."

Cao Hui knew the right thing, and after getting familiar with him, he knew the opportunity and left. Otherwise, if he stayed like a dog-skin plaster, he would be annoying.

"Mr. Cao, please."

"You two, if you need anything, you can call me. I will definitely come over as soon as possible."

"OK."

Looking at the figure who turned away, Jiang Xiaoyang said calmly.

"This person is quite knowledgeable."

"The auction house itself is a business that circulates in the circle of rich people. It can be so big without the ability. By the way, when we go back, let the venture capital department pay attention to domestic leading auction houses such as Guardian, Hanhai, and Duoyunxuan. Okay, if you can, vote some."

As the price of domestic art continues to grow, the revenue of auction houses will also rise rapidly, and the future is bright.

Jiang Xiaoyang glanced at him and said, "You can find business even if you participate in an auction?"

"Otherwise, why would I have the wealth I have now?"

"You said you were fat and you were breathless."

"Haha, my wife compliments me, so we have to continue."

While the two were chatting, a middle-aged man wearing a black suit and gold-rimmed glasses walked up.

"Hello, gentlemen and ladies, I am Zheng Jiaming, the auctioneer who is hosting this auction. Welcome everyone to participate in the 'Modern Calligraphy and Painting Special' hosted by me. Welcome everyone."

Sparse applause broke out.

After a while.

"In addition, today's auction is very honored to invite Mr. Xu Liangxu, the world's largest Internet company Hongmeng, the world's most famous private equity founder, and the world's third richest man. Let us welcome him with warm applause."

Wow….

The applause instantly became ten times louder.

Xu Liang, who was suddenly picked up, could only smile and wave to everyone.

"If I had known better, I wouldn't have come to this auction."

Xu Liang complained softly.

When he first received the invitation, he thought that he had never attended an auction in his life, so he had nothing to do to broaden his horizons and see the world.

I didn’t expect to be viewed as a giant panda.

"Regret? It's too late!"

Jiang Xiaoyang found it quite amusing to see this stinky man deflated.

“Let’s look at the first lot next.”

Four square albums appeared on the displays on both sides, each with a different flower.

“What everyone is seeing now is Wang Xuetao’s four-screen flower display.

Mr. Wang Xuetao was born in 1903. His original name was Tingjun, his courtesy name was Xiaofeng, and his nickname was Chiyuan. He was a native of Cheng'an, Hebei Province. He liked painting since childhood and is a famous modern Chinese freehand flower and bird painter.

He was taught by Chen Shizeng, Xiao Qianzhong, Tang Dingzhi, Wang Mengbai and other seniors, and was especially influenced by Wang Mengbai.

In 1924, he became a disciple of Qi Baishi and changed his name to Xuetao.

He once served as a director of the Chinese Artists Association, president of the Beijing Painting Academy, and vice chairman of the Beijing Branch of the Chinese Artists Association.

Mr. Wang Xuetao is good at depicting the colorful and lively world of flowers and birds, and is also good at expressing the artist's spiritual feelings and moving imagination.

And he can grasp the fleeting interest in the combination of scenes and actively express the aesthetics that keeps pace with the times, thereby getting rid of the rigid formula of flower and bird paintings in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

He created a distinctive style that was fresh, clever, and both elegant and popular, and became an influential flower-and-bird painter in the 20th century who borrowed from the past to create the present and transformed the West into the Chinese.

The four-panel painting of flowers that you see now was created by Mr. Wang in his later years. His painting skills reached the peak. The flowers are smart, colorful and lifelike. It is a rare masterpiece.

The size of each album page is 43.5 × 27.5 cm, approximately 4.3 square feet.

The material is color on paper.

Work description:

【Question】Quiet and interesting. Before the autumn moon, Xuetao wrote in the capital. Comrade Kehong is pure and upright.

【Seal】Sealed by Wang Xuetao.

The base price of this album is NT$40,000, and each increase must not be less than NT$1,000. Interested parties are now invited to bid. "

"41,000 yuan."

"Okay, Mr. No. 27 bids 41,000. Is there anything higher?"

"42,000 yuan."......

"You're not interested?"

Jiang Xiaoyang asked.

"It's worth tens of thousands of dollars, and I don't need to come forward."

Xu Liangdao.

Although he has never participated in an auction, he was also a member of the rich circle in his previous life. There are friends around him who like to invest in art, and they will talk about it at parties.

But among those paintings with tens of millions and hundreds of millions, they are basically Qi Baishi, Xu Beihong, Fu Baoshi, Li Keran, Lin Fengmian, Zhang Daqian and Huang Binhong.

He had really never heard of Wang Xuetao.

Naturally, I have no idea of buying it.

However, Hanhua's internal art department has a dedicated art investment analysis department, which has developed a special auction file for each painter.

Investments will be made based on the popularity of the painter himself in the market.

In modern times, people such as Qi Baishi, Xu Beihong, Fu Baoshi, Li Keran, Lin Fengmian and Zhang Daqian are the main ones.

Of course, I will also buy some fine products from people like Wang Xuetao, Huang Zhou, Guan Shanyue and others.

Because the market is full of unknowns.

Huang Binhong is the best example.

Because the painting style is heavy, with thick ink and heavy colors, collectors think the painting is dirty and dark, so they cannot give it away.

He held an art exhibition in Shanghai and only sold one painting.

In the 1960s, the price of Qi Baishi's paintings was 4 yuan per square foot, Wu Zuoren's paintings were 5 yuan per square foot, Li Keran's 8 yuan, and Liu Bingsen's 6 or 8 cents.

Huang Binhong's paintings cost one yuan each.

But now, although Huang Binhong is still not as good as Li Keran and Fu Baoshi, his price per square foot is also higher than that of most painters.

"If you like it, I'll take a photo of it for you." Xu Liang said.

Jiang Xiaoyang shook his head, "The space is too short, and I don't really like flowers and birds."

"Then what do you like? Landscapes? Characters?"

As he said this, Xu Liang's face showed surprise.

"I actually remembered that there is a painting of "The Long March" by Li Keran hanging in your study."

"The development of Hanhua is like the Long March. The process is full of hardships and dangers, but the final victory must belong to us. ... Therefore, I like this kind of painting that can bring enlightenment and motivation, regardless of the type."

"My wife is indeed ambitious. But Mr. You, I am much more vulgar. I only like valuable things, and it has nothing to do with the type."

She rolled her eyes at him.

"You have been this virtuous since the day I met you."

“Only by never forgetting your original intention can you achieve success.”

"The philistines are all spoken so nicely by you."

"I'm telling the truth."

While the two were chatting, pictures were taken away one after another.

The prices are around one to two hundred thousand, and those over one million are no more than one palm.

Because Hanhua bid by phone, it didn’t attract anyone’s attention.

On the contrary, many people looked at Xu Liang, wanting to see when he would take action, but their eyes hurt from looking at him, and no results were seen.

It was noon.

When Xu Liang was thinking about what to eat for lunch, the auctioneer suddenly looked at him several times.

"Um?"

Before he could understand what was going on.

A sketched bust suddenly appeared on the big screen.

Xu Liang always felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity in his eyes.

A sketch suddenly jumped out among the Chinese-style ink paintings, and it instantly attracted everyone's attention.

"The sketch portrait to be auctioned next is a painting by Mr. Xu Liang, a world-class rich man and a world-renowned entrepreneur."

The audience was in an uproar.

Xu Liang couldn't help but grin, full of surprise.

"Is it really your painting?"

Jiang Xiaoyang couldn't help but ask.

"Um."

"Don't you keep all the paintings you draw at home?"

"Some time ago, New Dream Gallery held an art exhibition in Beijing. Teng Huaming asked for two sketches and an oil painting from me. He said it was for show, so I gave it to him."

For more than four years, as his only hobby besides beautiful women, he has never stopped painting.

I usually draw a few strokes when I have nothing to do. Over the past four years, I have accumulated more than 200 sketches, more than 130 oil paintings, and more than 2,000 sketches.

Apart from giving it away, most of it was kept in his hands.

"You didn't ask about the result?"

"I have forgotten such a small thing." Xu Liang said matter-of-factly.

He is already busy enough with things in the company, so how can he care about these things.

However, he also knew that most people would buy his paintings and put them up for auction again.

It is also possible that Hanhai himself wanted to take advantage of him becoming Xu Tanhua and becoming famous, and took the opportunity to make money through speculation.

The auctioneer on the stage continued.

"We all know that in addition to being a well-known entrepreneur and financial investor, Mr. Xu Liang is also an excellent painter.

In 2000, he entered CAFA without passing the examination and studied under Mr. Jin Shangyi.

In 2003, the joint undergraduate and master's degree program was confirmed.

His paintings have been praised by many artists and internationally renowned collectors, and he is a rising star among contemporary painters. "

This is a boast.

If Xu Liang's face wasn't as thick as a city wall, he would have become famous by now.

Jiang Xiaoyang's strange look made him grit his teeth a little.

"What are you looking at? Haven't you seen a handsome guy?"

Rolling his eyes almost to the sky, Jiang Xiaoyang said angrily: "When did you become a disciple of Mr. Jin Shangyi? Why didn't I know.

And you are studying for a bachelor's degree and a master's degree together. Do you have the time? "

"Mr. Jin is indeed my teacher. He has been since my sophomore year. He helped me correct my paintings. As for the bachelor's and master's program, I wanted to give up, but the school was too enthusiastic and I didn't. Method."

Unfortunately, it is not easy for Yangmei University to produce a world-class rich student.

In the past four years, donations received have exceeded 50 million.

Of course I was reluctant to let him go.

If Xu Liang hadn't agreed, the doctor would have made arrangements for him.

"Look at how arrogant you are."

While the two were chatting, the auction had already begun.

The base price of a sketch by Xu Liang is 50,000 yuan, and each increase in price is not less than 1,000 yuan.

Maybe it's the celebrity effect, maybe someone wants to use this to please.

In just a few minutes, the sketch had more than 200,000 views.

By the time the hammer fell, the price had reached 650,000 Chinese coins.

This price has exceeded that of many deceased people.

"Congratulations to buyer No. 7 for acquiring this precious sketch portrait. Congratulations."
