Chapter 20 Thangka
No matter what, it is better to have a plan than not to plan. Tang Feng’s plan is not that calligraphy and painting works have been leading the auction market. The arrival of the peak season in the market also means that calligraphy and painting works will be traded. Tang Feng still holds Zhu Yunming’s “Guide the Country” and Zhang Daqian’s “Autumn Landscape Picture” in his hand. These are bombs. The total transaction price will definitely exceed 10 million. It can not only make up for Tang Feng’s financial loopholes, but also allow him to have sufficient funds to enter the jade material market.
Jade is divided into jade and soft jade. The crown of jade is of course jade, while the king of soft jade is Hetian jade. All Chinese jade wares have been mainly soft jade. The traditional jade culture we call refers to soft jade culture. The gentleman is like jade, soft jade is warm and fragrant, pure and pure jade, reeds lean on jade, good marriage of gold and jade, and golden branches and leaves all refer to soft jade.
As the saying goes, "culture sets the stage, economy plays the role", Tang Feng's strategy of expanding the market from jade culture is absolutely correct, it depends on how to operate it in detail.
When he thought of it, Tang Feng quickly returned home and brought the two paintings to Zhuji Auction House. Although the auction cannot be cashed out in a short period of time, it is considered a disguised mortgage to Zhuji. Let's talk about it first. Tang Feng had thought of auctioning the statue of Tang Kaiyuan's gilded bronze Buddha, but if this statue failed to be sold once, the market prospects would definitely not be ideal. The antiques that failed to be sold are like divorced women. No matter how beautiful they are, their value will be greatly reduced.
Liu Yue was not there, and Zhu Biwei invited Tang Feng into his office. After Tang Feng explained his purpose, Zhu Biwei's words made him a little more sober. Zhu Yunming's "Guide the River and the Country" market positioning is difficult to grasp, so he can only rely on hype and has great flexibility; while "Autumn Landscape Picture" is more troublesome. Tang Feng can see that this is the original work of Zhang Daqian, but it does not mean that others can see that Yue can see that it does not mean that the buyer will recognize it. Zhu Ji Auction House also needs to find new evidence to prove that the painting is real. Zhu Biwei is a businessman, and Tang Feng cannot borrow 6.6 million based on his relationship with Liu Yue alone. Tang Feng's strength is the main reason. The more than 30 million yuan gained by Tang Feng last time was handed over to Tang Feng. Therefore, in this matter, Zhu Biwei did not show mercy and wanted to charge 15% of the commission fee for Tang Feng's transaction price.
If you take someone's hand short, Feng will certainly not refuse. The two calligraphy and painting works entrusted by Feng Feng by the two parties will be shortlisted for the annual calligraphy and painting special auction held by Zhuji Auction House, and the valuation will be held after the preview.
In the next few days, Tang Feng and Lin Yu began to look at houses everywhere. Since they decided to buy a house, they still had to collect it. Although they couldn't make the house look like a museum like Yang Chengming, at least they had to buy a villa. Although they were mentally prepared, Tang Feng was still shocked by the housing prices in Beijing. He had 3.9 million yuan in his hand, and he couldn't even lose the money for decoration to buy a villa, which was too expensive.
If you can’t do it in the city, you have to go to the suburbs. On that day, the two of you came to the western suburbs of Haidian District. This place is not far from Xiangshan, which is also the best season to watch the red leaves.
Tang Feng looked out the car window and Xiangshan at the far end of his sight and said, "It would be great if he could buy a villa near Xiangshan. When he opened the door, he could see the beautiful scenery of red leaves flying in the forest."
"I don't want it." Lin Muyu shook her head and said.
"Huh." Tang Feng said: "Didn't Mu Yu always like romantic things?"
Lin Mu said: "Please. Romance also requires the mood to appreciate Dishan Mountain without any sense of security. What else can you talk about romance?"
Tang Feng asked strangely: "Where can't even feel safe?"
"First of all, I am not a Han chauvinist and do not oppose the current national ethnic policy." Lin Muyu said: "Xiangshan is a gathering area for Tibetans in Beijing. I don't know why I am afraid when I see Tibetans."
Tang Feng thought about it and it seemed that the same reason was true. Most Han girls think that the Tibetans on the snowy plateau were quite cute. But they were more or less afraid of the Tibetans in the city. Tibetans all have fierce appearances. But this is not the reason they feel afraid. The key is that the Tibetans have a bad reputation. It’s okay to be thieves. They often cause riots. Moreover, their human rights treatment is higher than that of the Han people. They don’t even have to pay for their lives. The police have a headache when they see it, let alone ordinary people.
The car was driving very slowly. The two of them were talking. A decoration store with a very Tibetan style appeared on the roadside. Lin Muyu pointed to the colorful objects hanging on the wall and said, "Is that a carpet?"
Tang Feng looked at it happily, shook his head and said, "Hey, how did you become a screenwriter? It's not a carpet, but a Thangka. Let's go and have a look."
Lin Muyu stopped the car and said, "You go, I don't want to go, I'll wait for you in the car."
"Then I won't go." Tang Feng withdrew his hand that was about to open the car door.
Lin Muyu said, "You go, it doesn't matter, I just happened to think about my script."
Tang Feng said seriously: "Then I'm really going." He wanted to go and take a look at Thangka.
Thangka is a treasure of traditional culture and art, and the market continues to rise. According to statistics, from 2000 to 2009, the price of Thangka soared by more than 1C times, and there is still a lot of room for growth. After Thangka was included in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage list in 2006, Thangka quickly became the focus of attention of domestic and foreign collectors. In 2005, "Qingyu Embroidery Sakyamuni and the Second Disciple Thangka" was auctioned in Beijing, with a transaction price of 8.25 million yuan; in 2008, in the spring auction of Kuangshi International, a piece of "Red Satin Land Colorful Treasure of Buddha Weaving in the Ming Dynasty
The transaction price of Card is 24.64 million yuan; the world record of the Thangka transaction price, a Ming Yongle "Tangka Thangka" was sold at Christie's in Hong Kong, which was sold at a sky-high price of RMB 32.77 million.
This Tibetan jewelry store has a very artistic conception. The store is called Paradise Eye. The store is not big, but the things inside are rich and exquisite. There are all kinds of accessories and Buddhist supplies. In addition, there is a faint smell of musk in the store, which is Tibetan fragrance.
When Tang Feng walked into the store, the owner was fiddling with a wooden guitar. This was a young woman of 27 or 28 years old. She was tall, thin and beautiful, but she was quite attractive. She didn't say hello to Tang Feng, and Tang Feng didn't say anything, and chose the Thangka inside.
There are many types of Thangkas, including cloth-based Thangkas, embroidered Thangkas, brocade Thangkas, decal Thangkas, etc. Tang Feng took a walk around and stopped in front of an embroidered Thangkas. The embroidered Thangkas are very similar to the popular cross-stitch embroidered with various colors of silk threads. This Thangka is a square with a side length of more than 50 cm thick. No one will think it is not a carpet when thrown on the ground. Like most Thangkas, this Thangka is also a Thangka of religious gods and ghosts. The character depicted on it has heard of Tang Feng, which is Viagra, with a total of 30 sides.
Four arms and sixteen feet. It is cumbersome to say, but it is actually a piece of monsters that can be used as a horror movie prop. It is a hybrid monster of the three realms of humans and demons. This monster holds a blood-filled skull with "foot" and step on big monsters and monsters. In general, it can be summarized in eight words, which is inexplicable and inconsistent. However, foreigners like these things that are nauseous, just like abstract paintings, and it is art to see it.
Tang Feng's understanding of religion only depends on the price. It is possible to make antiques if you can sell it at a good price, but hand-embroidery is unlikely, because the cost of forgery is too high. A good bamboo Thangka will take several years to complete. Those who have this skill will become artists. The patterns and craftsmanship of the Thangka are very complicated, and the machinery cannot embroider it. What we need to look at is the age and craftsmanship. From the silk thread of this Thangka, the thread is soft, smooth and oily, and the elastic hand-embroidered silk thread should not be a modern product. Due to the damage to the natural environment, modern silk cannot spun such good silk thread. It should be a product of the underdeveloped industrial period, and the Thangka before liberation.
After carefully looking at it, Feng felt that this thing was OK, so he asked, "Miss, how did this thing be sold?"
"Seventy thousand yuan." The owner of the store said without raising his head. In today's commercialization, there are also some people who open stores not for making money but for their interests and hobbies. The owner of this store probably belongs to this kind of person. People have already left the state of running around for money.
"I want it!" Tang thought the price was quite reasonable.
"Really?" The owner of the shop finally put down the Ji in his hand and smiled happily.
Tang Feng smiled and said, "Can I still lie to you?" Then Feng took off the backpack he had been carrying and unzipped the zipper, taking out seven stacks of money and putting it in front of the woman.
The owner could not have imagined that Tang Feng had carried so much cash with him, and put the money in the drawer of the desk with a look of surprise. Tang Feng explained to her: "I was going to go out to shop for antiques, but I happened to be here with you."
"I'll help you with the bag." The owner was happy and said more. "This store is open for more than three months, and you are the first customer to actually buy it."
Tang Feng said: "If other bosses don't have business, I will comfort him a few words, but you are different. You don't think about making money anyway."
"How do you know?" asked the owner.
Tang Feng pointed to many photos pressed against the large glass on the desk and said: "People who like to travel cannot stay in a place for a long time before they find a stop. Such people are not suitable for business."
"You are right. These things were purchased by me during the trip. The story behind each thing is different." The owner of the shop packed the Thangka for Tang Feng, and she said, "Okay."
"Thank you." Tang Feng turned around and walked out with the Thangka. When he walked to the door of the store, he turned around and said, "I wish you a stop to end your trip as soon as possible.
”
The owner of the shop was stunned for a moment, smiled faintly, and said, "Thank you for your blessing."
Everyone wants to pursue the true meaning of life, but not everyone can embark on the road of pursuit. Many people think that wandering is a kind of painful loneliness, but in fact, it is a kind of happiness and freedom. Life is actually a movie. Different beginnings and different endings are just illusions. When the curtain call is over, everything is the same. If you have more exciting shots, the audience will have an impression.
Tang Feng remained silent after getting in the car. Lin Muyu glanced at the Thangka in his hand and asked, "What's wrong with you? Are you bewitched by religion?"
