The middle-aged man who had just packed up the painting "Birds Singing in the Empty Mountain" looked at the painting, then looked at Tang Feng, and said calmly: "1.48 million."

In terms of quality, this "Guiding the Country" is not as good as the fake "Bird Singing in the Empty Mountain". After seeing Tang Feng's favor, Su Qing asked the price directly. Knowing that he was willing to buy it, she asked Tang Feng: "Tang Feng, do you want to buy it?"

Tang Feng pointed to Su Qing and asked Liu Yue: "Ms. Liu thought what this painting was like?"

The picture of this painting says: Zhu Xizhe was at Chen Enting in the Wuxu year of Chenghua. It is also stamped with two calligraphy and painting seals: "Zhu Xizhe Seal" and "Wumen Zhishan".

Liu Yue smiled and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, this should be the original work of Zhu Yunming." Zhu Yunming was also a famous calligrapher and painter in the Ming Dynasty. His courtesy name was Xizhe and his pseudonym Zhishan. He was as famous as Tang Bohu, Wen Zhengming and Xu Zhenqing. The four of them were called the four talented men in Wuzhong.

The layman watched the fun and the expert looked at the trick. Su Qing was completely dissatisfied with eyes in front of Liu Yue and Tang Feng. She said dissatisfiedly: "Hey, can you two make it clear?"

Liu Yue pointed to the appreciation seal of the "Baoji Sanbian" on the painting and said, "To see the authenticity of this painting, you only need to verify the appreciation seal." Baoji Sanbian is an appreciation seal of the Qing Palace Interior Affairs Office, and the recording of the Qing Palace Interior Affairs Office "Shiqu Baoji Sanbian" happens to be recorded in the "Shiqu Baoji Sanbian" seal. Unlike the "Huating Wangshi" seal in "Birds Singing in the Empty Mountain", this "Baoji Sanbian" is an appreciation seal of the palace. The seal itself and the red ink are unique and are extremely difficult to make forged.

Su Qing pointed to the three words "Chen Enting" on the note and said, "The character 'Chen' is obviously much smaller than the other two characters, and there are traces of tampering. How do you say this?" The character tampering of Chen Enting's character is very obvious, and Su Qing can see that the Tang and Liu naturally would not miss it. Liu Yue said, "If you don't pronounce 'Chen', you should pronounce 'Lin', and the original character should be Lin Enting. Because you want to avoid the name of Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty - the word 'Lin' in Fulin, half of this character was cut off." Guanyin changed it to Guanyin because he wanted to avoid the taboo Li Shimin, but what should he do if the word vague appeared before the emperor was born and named? Then he had to change it from later generations to other characters.

Tang Feng continued: "Avoiding taboos is a serious human destruction, especially for calligraphy and painting artworks, but this can prove the authenticity of this painting from one aspect."

"Wait!" Su Qing asked immediately: "You just said that half of this word was cut off. Will half of the word "Lin" be cut off?"

"Oh." Liu Yue shook her head and said, "It's a problem to explain it to you. The Chinese characters we use now are simplified characters that were popularized and promoted only after liberation. In ancient times, traditional Chinese characters were used. Isn't half of the traditional "limit" not a minister?" The traditional Chinese characters are written as "王", and half of it is "子".

Su Qing felt a serious problem. She was seriously lacking in speaking when she was with these two people. She approached Tang Feng and gently hit him with her arm, and said, "Hey, I have another question to ask you."

Tang Feng was thinking about whether the price of 1.48 million was worth it. After hearing Su Qing’s question, he whispered in her ear: “I said to Officer Su, don’t ask anymore, I will not sell it later.”

Calligraphy and painting actually do not refer to a single work of art, it includes calligraphy and painting. Among the four talented men in Wuzhong, Zhu Yunming was the best at calligraphy. He was not only Wen Zhengming's calligraphy teacher, but also gave guidance to Tang Yin in calligraphy. Because of his profound calligraphy attainments, the market for his calligraphy works has been bullish. At the auction of ancient Chinese calligraphy and painting works held by China Jiade Auction Company not long ago, Zhu Yunming's regular script work "Huang Tingjing" was sold at a price of 5.26 million. At the same auction, Tang Yin's running script work "Burning Incense and Sitting Silently" also achieved a high price of 4.7 million.

Generally speaking, the value of paintings is higher than that of calligraphy works. Tang Yin's original paintings are not only more than 10 million yuan, but the price is still unavailable. Compared with the two, the value of this painting "Stand the River and the Mountains" seems to be more than 10 million yuan, but the store is not a fool, and the price they set is still relatively high. First of all, the quality of this painting is not very good. The silk it uses is the cheapest silk on the market at that time. This silk is rough in texture, sparse in the weft, and it feels like sandpaper, and it is extremely difficult to be easily affected by ink. The so-called good horses and good saddles, but not good silk will naturally affect the quality of the painting, and thus affect the price. Secondly, this painting "Stand the River and the Mountains" is an ink painting, and the market has always been worse than color paintings. Thirdly, painting is not Zhu Yunming's expertise, and the market will inevitably be affected.

The store priced according to the market conditions, but Tang Feng measured it from the perspective of collection value. First of all, Zhu Yunming's paintings were very small, which is very likely to be a lonely product in his paintings. Scarcity is precious, which offsets the impact of poor quality. Secondly, because this kind of silk is not good, there are fewer fine paintings made of this kind of silk, which may be the reason why this painting was collected by the Qing Palace. Thirdly, the way to collect is to buy low and reject highs. When the market is sluggish, it is also suitable for buying.

In short, Tang Feng thought that this painting had great value-added potential and decided to buy it. He said, "I want this painting, how can I pay the bill?"

When the middle-aged man heard Tang Feng say he wanted to buy it, he immediately became energetic. He smiled and said, "Swipe the card and cash."

Tang Feng said: "Then let's swipe the card." The current bank card has no upper limit, which saves Tang Feng a lot of trouble. Therefore, the 1.6 million that had not yet been released in his card turned into 120,000, and this investment still poses considerable risks. However, compared with real estate and stock markets, the risk of art investment is much smaller, at least not affected by the financial crisis.

However, Tang Feng was not easy after making his first investment. He returned to his original form when he first arrived in the high-end market, and now he only has about 200,000 yuan left. In this way, he still needs to go to the low-end market to buy things. It is not enough to keep doing this.

Walking out of Beijing Antique City, Su Qing waved to Tang Feng and said, "Mr. Tang, then goodbye."

"Yes." Tang Feng nodded and said, "Goodbye."

Unlike Su Qing's simple farewell, Liu Yue formally extended her hand to Tang Feng and said, "Mr. Tang has a good vision, Liu Yue has received teaching."

Tang Feng smiled slightly and gently held her hand, saying, "Miss Liu, you're polite, I finally don't like me anymore."

Liu Yue said embarrassedly: "Where do you have it? Mr. Tang shouldn't always look back on the old calendar, okay?"

"Of course not." Tang Feng nodded.

"Oh, by the way." Liu Yue remembered something and said to Tang Feng: "The weekend is Zhu Ji's auction special. See you then."

Not only did Liu Yue say that Tang Feng almost forgot that he had a tablet entrusted to their house. If that tablet could be bought at a good price, he could continue to explore the high-end market.

After playing mahjong once, he was no longer interested in playing small mahjong. Tang Feng nodded and said, "Okay, see you then." After Liu Yue and Su Qing left, Tang Feng sighed. He felt that Chen Yan's proposal was very good, and it was time to do some business.
