The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

The two people studied the "Prom at the Moulin Rouge" for a long time, and both studied the canvas and the craftsmanship to the exquisite picture frame-"The craftsmanship of the late 19th century, this carving and workmanship cannot be wrong, it is estimated that this frame will be customized It will cost 5o to 1oo gold francs. Eight? One? Chinese network ≤≈=≥=≈≤≈="

After listening to Nong Bosheng's words, Zhang Nan looked at the picture in the album again: He didn't understand French, but he knew the Arabic numerals above.

He took out a small tape measure from his pocket: he is not a carpenter, but many of these gadgets are in his antique pocket.

Habits: torch, electronic scale, magnifying glass plus tape measure, playing with the four best treasures of antiques!

The more antique dealers come from the bottom, the more these four things will be carried with them-the first three are easy to understand, and the tape measure is because some antiques are a little smaller in size, so the price will be a big difference!

Such as bronze mirrors and vases.

This one in a warehouse, "the height is 131 cm, the length is 182 cm."

Compare the label on the picture album again: the height is the same, but the length is 7 cm longer.

Since the agricultural curator has not spoken, Zhang Nan didn't say much after he reported the size.

For a while, Nong Bosheng, who had been thinking about it, seemed to understand something, and said: "I seem to remember that there was a document saying that this Renoir was a frequent visitor to the Moulin Rouge in Paris at that time, and the painting should have been painted in 1876. At that time, he was too poor to die, and at the request of the owner of the Moulin Rouge, he often designed posters for the Moulin Rouge.

Do you think he painted two pictures? "

Zhang Nan crooked his mouth, "Who knows, ordinary painters don't do this, and it's not Van Gogh's sunflower."

Van Gogh’s "Sunflowers" are quite a few, but they are not exactly the same, and this "Prom at the Moulin Rouge" is basically a "copy" with the French one, and few painters would do this. However, it is impossible to ask the client about what happened more than a hundred years ago.

"If you have a hard time, and the boss pays you and asks you to paint a picture that is exactly the same to decorate your office, why don't you do it?"

"I have money, I don't know."

Zhang Nan is not fooled!

"Then do you want to?"

After finally waiting for this sentence, watching Nong Bosheng say this, he still seems to be determined.

"want!"

Don't be a fool! Zhang Nan feels that there is really the possibility that Nong Bosheng said: He was poor in his previous life, and he survived the days of relying on a few steamed buns to make ends meet.

If Renoir was so poor that he had no money to eat and was swept out by the landlord, the owner of the Moulin Rouge or other people would give him a sum of money to survive the difficulties and ask him to paint another picture of the same, why would he do it? Dry?

Change to Zhang Nan and do it!

Life can't go on anymore, who cares about what habit or not.

Here, Nong Bosheng seemed to think again, and said, "Then, I can give you a proof, as if this painting is an imitation, I will sell it to you for 100 yuan first."

When Zhang Nan heard this, he immediately said: "Don't tease the curator of agriculture, as long as you sell this painting to me, it can be taken abroad without proof. Customs all over the world will think it is an imitation.

This is not a problem of 100 yuan, you should say clearly, don't sell it first. "

Nong Bosheng organized a language and said, “That’s right, if you can confirm that this painting is the authentic Renoir in the future, you have to donate US$10 million to our exhibition hall. I want to build a new comprehensive museum. It’s too small. The facilities are too old.

Moreover, you can't sell this painting to foreigners. You can either collect it yourself or use it to exchange for a sufficient amount of Chinese cultural relics. I remember that there are a large number of cultural relics stolen from Chinese cultural relics in several major museums in France. "

"10,000? You are ruthless! Okay, but if it's authentic, I will keep it forever. Even if I really want to change it, I will make Gallic chicken cry!"

"Don't change a few official kilns of the Qing Dynasty when the three melons are not worth two dates. You need calligraphy and painting, at least it is the class of the Tang and Song dynasties!"

"I said that Big Brother is hungry. These eight sons haven't been stunned yet. I don't know whether they are true or not. Don't worry. But when it's really time to change, I'll ask you to be a staff officer, okay?"

"Well, let's make a deal!"

Zhang Nan changed his mind, "That's not right, the curator of agriculture, if it's true, I won't lose money if I collect it myself. If I interact, won't my 100 million yuan be a waste of money?

Besides, if I'm shameless, can you still eat me? "

Hearing this, the curator of the farmer smiled, "Haha, you don’t have to go back, we have already said that. Besides, you don’t lack ten million. I’m very relieved of you, this kid won’t. It's better to save face if you smash your own brand."

Nongbosheng has people in the province and the central government. Some time ago, of course, I knew that Xiang Weirong and his wife had donated more than 20 million US dollars to build Kuaiji University. Zhang Nan gave out 800% of the money!

He can now see a lot of foreign materials. The auction prices of oil paintings by some famous western painters are already common in the tens of millions. If a masterpiece of Renoir is authentic, the US$100 million is almost the same.

But he really couldn't think of the sky-high price of US$7.81 million in 3 years. He would really think that his offer is reasonable, and even a bit cruel!

As for whether Zhang Nan will lie to this question, the old scholars are looking at people from the old scholar's eyes: donating money to build a university, donating national treasures to return to China, Tang swords to go home (though not donating)...

Nong Bosheng felt that Zhang Nan was still reliable.

"Director of the farm, this is me. Let me change someone else. You can still collect money for others if you sell you." I thought about it and didn't say anything.

"Then, the director of the farm, let's make an agreement with the gentleman! If it is confirmed that it is the authentic Renoir, I will donate US$10 million to Yongcheng, appoint you to be responsible for the money, and the special fund will be used exclusively." "Okay. Certainly!"

"A word is for sure, it's hard to chase a horse!"

The two shook hands in this warehouse, agreed and the transaction was concluded.

Pack the painting again, and call the accountant to write down the sales record of the last painting: "The Prom of the Moulin Rouge", 100 yuan RMB.

Go to the office and open a bunch of "export approval" certificates, and that's the end of the matter.

...

The ones that should be moved have also moved. This trip to Taobao in Yongcheng was fairly smooth, and the relationship between southern Hunan and Jiangxi Province has been opened up. The next step will be much smoother.

At four o'clock in the afternoon ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ the five-ton Dongfang truck was loaded, Zhang Nan asked Qiu Bo to **** the truck back to Yanxian first, and he would leave tomorrow.

I have to have a big banquet in the evening. Thanks to the staff of the exhibition hall for their great help in the past two days: they have used other researchers as porters, so I have to show it.

Finally, Nong Bosheng gave Zhang Nan a phone number in the office, with the name of the person on it.

"I have already called Director Wang of the Jingdezhen Ceramic Research Institute. You can call him directly when the time comes. He has already collected the things you want in the dumping warehouse and from the employees."

"What did you say?"

Zhang Nan originally thought about getting to the place and then said: If this person has not gone yet, if he misses the bottom, things may be wrong!

"Don't worry, Director Wang is an old friend of mine. He won't be able to earn foreign exchange at this meeting. He has foreign exchange earning indicators.

I'll give you a bottom line, as long as you can spend between 2o and 5o dollars each, he will sell you all the rice bowls at the bottom of the warehouse and the employees' homes! To be continued.)
