After rebirth, I know the value of antiques like the back of my hand

According to historical records, there is a wind-born beast on Yanzhou, which looks like a leopard, is blue, and is as big as a raccoon...and it opens its mouth to the wind, and it will be revived in an instant.

The Fengsheng beast stuffed its nose with calamus on a stone, and it died immediately.

Take the brain and chrysanthemums and eat them, and if you weigh ten catties, you will live 500 years.

Fengsheng beast is also a good medicine for curing diseases, which can make people live another 500 years.

I have never seen an old object with this kind of monster as a beast pattern, so it is no wonder that the system cannot estimate its value.

However, this jade cong has been damaged, which will greatly reduce its value.

If the missing part of the jade cong can be found and repaired, the value should be doubled.

However, that was an unavoidable thing.

Thinking of this, Luo Yuyang carefully put this jade cong into his bag, maybe one day he will really be able to use it.

At any rate, after lunch, Luo Yuyang drove directly to Hanhai's headquarters in the imperial capital.

It was a building located in the CBD area of ​​the East Third Ring Road. Luo Yuyang parked the car in the underground garage and took the elevator to the fifteenth floor.

Stepping out of the elevator, I saw the words "Emperor Capital Hanhai Auction Company".

The girl at the front desk was pretty, and Luo Yuyang explained to her why she came here.

The girl at the front desk asked Luo Yuyang to wait in the rest area for a while.

There is a sofa booth in the rest area, and Luo Yuyang found a place to sit down.

In fact, Luo Yuyang was not in such a hurry to sell Tang Bohu's "Picture of Postal Pavilion with Pottery Grain".

Now Luo Yuyang can be considered as a household with [-] million yuan, so he is not very short of money.

But if you keep this painting, it won't be of much use. Luo Yuyang's collection complex is not that big yet.

Therefore, Luo Yuyang still decided to participate in the preview of Hanhai to see the effect.

If it is really possible to sell an extra [-]-[-] million yuan, then it will be considered a big profit if it is sold.

Just then, two more people came.

The two men, a man and a woman, are both in their 40s and [-]s.

Judging by the fashionable clothes of these two people, they should be white-collar workers in the imperial capital.

The boy's name is Cai Ruipeng, and the girl's name is Yang Ruoxue. They are husband and wife.

The two sat in the booth next to Luo Yuyang.

Yang Ruoxue couldn't help complaining: "Bo Chao, I said this is too troublesome, and I have to come here for an appraisal."

"This is also the rule of others. They are also afraid of getting fakes."

"Even if you want to appraise, you don't have to let us come here now, can't we just appraise after the preview?"

Cai Ruipeng said: "Forget it, they have come anyway, let them appraise it, and they can also estimate the starting price by the way."

Speaking of this, Yang Ruoxue sighed: "If it weren't for the fact that we are short of money to change the house, I would be reluctant to sell this painting!"

Luo Yuyang also heard from the side that the two of them were also going to participate in the preview of Han Hai, and what they brought was also a painting.

Judging by the woman's appearance, she actually didn't want to auction off the painting. It should be an ancestral or an old object left by the old man.

They sell paintings because they want to buy a house.

In fact, in this era, for Luo Yuyang, who lived in the "previous life", the housing prices in the imperial capital are not too outrageous.

But for people nowadays, the housing price is already very high, and many people are reluctant to sell at this time.

But Luo Yuyang can be sure that if he doesn't make a move now, he will regret it later.

Just in the second half of this year, the housing prices in the imperial capital skyrocketed all the way, beyond the imagination of many people.

Therefore, it was definitely the right choice for the couple to sell their paintings and buy a house.

Luo Yuyang is just not familiar with them, otherwise I really want to remind them to buy a house as soon as possible, the sooner the better, even borrow money to buy it!

Thinking of this, Luo Yuyang couldn't help laughing.

At this time, the person named Cai Ruipeng saw Luo Yuyang and wanted to have a chat with him.

"Hello, are you also here to appraise the auction items?"

Luo Yuyang glanced at the two of them and nodded: "Yes."

Yang Ruoxue became interested: "What are you here to identify?"

"A picture."

"It's also a painting? What a coincidence, it's the same as us."

Luo Yuyang smiled and nodded.

Just then, a man came over.

The man is wearing a suit and should be Han Hai's receptionist.

"Hi everyone, I am the person in charge of the Hanhai Midsummer preview, and this is my business card."

The man said, and sent a business card to each of the three people present.

Luo Yuyang saw that the name on the business card was Zheng Zhongzhong, a name that didn't sound very nice.

Zheng Zhong hesitated for a moment and asked, "Which one is Mr. Luo Yuyang Luo?"

"it's me."

Zheng Zhongcheng turned to the other two: "Hi, those two are Mr. Cai and Ms. Yang."

Cai Ruipeng replied: "Yes."

"All of them come with me."

In general, Zheng Zhongcheng was very polite, and he managed to calm Yang Ruoxue a little bit.

The three of them followed Zheng Zhongcheng into a large room.

This should be a room dedicated to appraisal of auction items.

There are several relatively large workbenches in the middle.

There are also some handicraft decorations on the surrounding shelves, and a few paintings on the walls.

But at a glance, Luo Yuyang saw that they were not expensive paintings, but basically the works of some contemporary painters.

There are two people sitting in the room.

One is about 40 years old and the other is 30 years old.

After Zheng Zhongcheng's introduction, the 40-year-old is Qian Siming, an appraiser invited by Hanhai. He is very good at calligraphy and painting.

The younger one is Zheng Zhongzhong's assistant named Zhang Hua.

Zheng Zhongcheng added: "Qian Zhuanyou is very well-known. He is a member of the National Antique Collection and Research Association. There is no doubt about his appraisal results."

When Luo Yuyang heard this, he could be regarded as his colleague in the association.

I just don't know if this Qian Siming is an official member.

However, since he can be invited by Han Hai, he should be of a good level.

To Luo Yuyang's displeasure, Qian Siming's behavior was relatively negligent.

"Manager Zheng, don't you want to appraise two paintings today? Let me tell you, it's not easy for me to come here once today."

Zheng Zhongcheng quickly said: "Yes, there are two pictures, they are not together."

Qian Siming asked: "Well, who will come first?"

Luo Yuyang and Cai Ruipeng looked at each other, as if they were discussing each other.

Luo Yuyang was not in a hurry, so he stretched out his hand and said, "You guys come first."

"it is good."

Cai Ruipeng nodded, and then took out the painting scroll from his long sports bag.

Luo Yuyang was also a little curious about what kind of painting this couple brought.

Qian Siming put on white gloves, then held the painting scroll, stuck it on a painting table, and slowly pulled it away.

Qian Siming's eyes lit up: "Huh? This painting... Bada Shanren?"

Yang Ruoxue clapped her hands together: "Yes, it is the authentic work of Bada Shanren!"

Qian Siming glanced at Yang Ruoxue: "It's not authentic, we need to see it before we talk about it."

Yang Ruoxue was speechless.

I saw that the pattern on this painting is very simple and simple. On the whole, there is a bird on the branch, and there is a duck in the water under the tree.

One bird and one duck, like neighbors, get along harmoniously.

Although the ink is also colored ink, it is relatively dull. I don't know if it has faded because of the age, or it is such a pale style.

However, the whole painting looks very elegant and elegant, with a profound artistic conception.

When Luo Yuyang saw it this way, he knew it was a painting by Bada Shanren.

The name of Bada Shanren was Zhu Da, who was a descendant of a royal family in the late Ming Dynasty. After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, he became a monk.

Bada Shanren's artistic attainments are very high, and he has also made great achievements as a monk. Later, he was also known as one of the "Four Monks" in the painting circle of the early Qing Dynasty.

The things painted by Bada Shanren look very strange to outsiders. They are almost all birds, ducks, eagles and other birds, and they all have supercilious eyes.

But in the painting Cai Ruipeng and Yang Ruoxue brought, although the bird on the top is looking at the sky, the duck on the water is looking down.

Qian Siming first asked, "How did you get this painting?"

Yang Ruoxue quickly said, "My grandfather left behind."

It turned out that Yang Ruoxue's grandfather was from a wealthy family, and he used to like collecting books, calligraphy, paintings, and antiques.

Of course, Grandpa Yang's favorite collection is calligraphy and painting.

This painting of Bada Shanren is regarded as a treasure.

Later, after a catastrophe in the 60s and [-]s of the last century, most of the collections were burned...

"You don't know, it burned for three days and three nights... What a pity..."

The painting of Bada Shanren survived later, because the grandfather of the Yang family hid it in advance.

Later, it was passed to Yang Ruoxue's father, and now it is passed to Yang Ruoxue's hands.

After listening to Yang Ruoxue's narration, Luo Yuyang felt a little pity.

It is a pity that such a heirloom-like painting is sold.

However, if the painting is authentic, it is indeed remarkable.

Let alone buying a house in the imperial capital, it is no problem to buy a villa on the North Fifth Ring Road or the South Fourth Ring Road now.

Qian Siming looked at the painting carefully and said: "Badashanren's birds usually look up at the sky, but this duck looks down...it's not like his typical style..."

After hearing this, Yang Ruoxue's face changed: "No... no way, you read it wrong."

When Qian Siming heard it, he showed displeasure on his face: "How could I be wrong? Are you an expert, or am I an expert?"

Yang Ruoxue was speechless, she was more concerned about the authenticity of this painting than Qian Siming's rudeness.

If it's a fake, then you won't be able to participate in Hanhai's midsummer preview, and naturally you won't be able to participate in the auction.

The plan to change to a bigger house will be completely ruined!

In fact, Luo Yuyang's point of view is consistent with Qian Siming's, and this painting is really strange.

First of all, there is no big problem with the style of the painting. It really fits the elegant and casual style of Bada Shanren, which is quite artistic.

Moreover, Luo Yuyang used a glance to see that the paper of this painting was indeed preserved in the early Qing Dynasty.

But that duck was indeed a problem too, with its eyeballs looking down.

Zhang Hua said beside him: "Mr. Qian, could it be a fake?"

Qian Siming shook his head, unable to come up with a conclusion for a while.

Suddenly, Luo Yuyang thought of something and couldn't help but say, "Could it be Bada Shanren's work in his later years?"

When Qian Siming heard this, he looked up at Luo Yuyang with an obviously surprised expression on his face.

Zhang Hua was unhappy beside him: "When Mr. Qian was doing the appraisal, you..."

Qian Siming stopped Zhang Hua from scolding, and said to Luo Yuyang, "You also know calligraphy and painting?"

"Understand a little."

Qian Siming pondered for a while: "You said it was his work in his later years, but it is really possible."

Luo Yuyang nodded: "Mr. Qian, I also read it in a book. Bada Shanren slowly entered a stage of reshaping in his later years."

"Well... that makes sense."

In fact, this is the case for many calligraphers and painters. Their early, middle and late works are very different in style and creation method.

In the early and middle stages of Bada Shanren, he likes to make birds, birds, eyeballs go up.

Then in the late stage, after figuring out certain things, maybe a change was made, such as letting the duck look down.

Luo Yuyang felt that although Qian Siming was a little arrogant, he was not a self-willed expert and could still listen to opinions.

"The whole painting does look like Bada Shanren's style, the exaggerated deformation technique still exists, and this number..."

Luo Yuyang leaned over to take a look, and said, "Yes, this number is also evidence of changes. It is said that in the early and middle period of Bada Shanren's number, the horoscope was triangular, and it became two dots in the late period."

Qian Siming nodded: "Yes, that's right, this is indeed the work of Bada Shanren in his later years."

Speaking of this, Qian Siming said: "Young man, not bad, you understand it quite well!"

Luo Yuyang smiled and said nothing.

Yang Ruoxue finally breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, she was frightened just now.

"Then...experts, help me estimate the starting price."

Luo Yuyang thought to himself, this painting is worth a lot.

If I remember correctly, I took a painting of Bada Shanren at Christie’s Hong Kong Island a few years ago.

The picture is a bird.

That's right, without exaggeration, there is only one bird on it, and the rest of it is blank, not even a branch.

How much did you take?

A staggering more than 6000 million Hong Kong Island dollars were taken.

And the painting of Bada Shanren brought by Yang Ruoxue was at least calculated in tens of millions.

Qian Siming pondered for a while and said: "Bada Shanren's paintings are indeed valuable. According to the market price, it costs 500 million yuan per square foot. As for the starting price, let's calculate it as a quarter."

Zheng Zhongzhong, who was waiting for the result, was taken aback when he heard it. He didn't expect this painting to be so amazing.

Originally, Zheng Zhongcheng thought it was just an ordinary ancient painting, and it would be enough if it could fetch 200 million Ruanmei coins.

If it is calculated according to Qian Siming's estimate, it will be great.

This painting is about six to seven square feet, multiplied by 500 million, that is 4000 to [-] million soft sister coins.

Even if calculated on a quarter basis, the starting price would be close to 1000 million.

However, for Hanhai Auction Company, this is a good thing.

The higher the auction price, the more commission they get.

This time the cola spoiled Cai Ruipeng and Yang Ruoxue, and they never thought that the painting was so valuable.

Don't talk about buying a house, it's no problem to buy four or five houses!

"Thank you, Expert Qian, thank you so much!"

Cai Ruipeng first expressed his gratitude to Qian Siming, and then looked at Luo Yuyang.
