Chapter 78: Mr. Liu's invitation
Anyone who does antiques and cultural relics appraisal dares not say too much, the kind of slap in the chest,
He signed his own name and issued a certificate, and sweared that it was genuine, which was mostly good things done by the irresponsible brick family. Seeing Fang Xue taking photos with her mobile phone, Su Xiaoru also joined in the fun and took out her mobile phone to take photos, saying that she wanted to take pictures of this priceless treasure and would have a thought in the future.
Even if he took photos with his mobile phone, Fang Xue's posture was quite professional, and he took a lot of photos of the bat painting from different angles. Relatively speaking, Su Xiaoru is a pure rookie.
After they took photos, Su Xiaoru sent Zhou Xia out first, so it would be bad to delay his company's affairs.
Zhou Xia did not forget Fang Xue said goodbye, and asked Su Xiaoru to learn more. Su Xiaoru's head was like a chicken pecking at rice.
After leaving the school gate, Zhou Xia stopped a taxi and headed straight for Liu Yuanshan's house.
On the way, Zhou Xia was also thinking secretly that it might be the company's autumn auction and the collection of ancient Chinese calligraphy and painting parts that made Liu Yuanshan a little dissatisfied.
In the company, Liu Suifeng has always been responsible for the matter of calligraphy and painting. Since calligraphy and painting works account for a large proportion in each auction, the company also gave Liu Suifeng the position of general manager. But at present, the collection of items is not satisfactory, and the catalog made the old men feel dissatisfied, and it should be Liu Suifeng who is responsible.
Liu Yuqing is mainly responsible for porcelain and miscellaneous related matters. The collection of items for autumn auctions was quite successful and she even completed the task more than she could. In the mind of the old man of the Liu family, she should be promoted more.
I soon arrived outside the Liu family's house. The Liu Yuanshan family was also the best villa, and the area was obviously much larger than that of Zhao Xiangbo's family and Xu Zhen's house. After all, the Liu family also had more.
Zhou Xia knocked on the door, and soon, Liu Yuqing came to open the door. She smiled and said to Zhou Xia, "Thank you for your hard work! I wanted to call you, but grandpa insisted on doing it myself."
Zhou Xia replied with a smile, "I thanked the old man for his attention first! Are there many people?"
Liu Yuqing said, "There is nothing to worry about, they are all familiar friends. You collected things again in the morning and asked Grandpa Zhao not to let it go, we don't know yet!"
"I'm not very familiar with calligraphy and painting, and I'm not sure when and whose works are. I just checked the information in the library! The old men said, "It should be able to identify them." Zhou Xia said.
"Look at me first." Liu Yuqing reached out and wanted to go over. As soon as she spread it, her expression became very surprised." "No wonder Grandpa Zhao said it." Her expression was so strange. It turned out to be an unfinished draft. I think you should have a preliminary judgment when you check the information, right!"
Zhou Xia nodded. "Although there is no tangible evidence, I am 70% sure."
"That's fine, this time I see a lot of opinions."
Zhou Xia said, " "Everyone gets together, mainly discussing the auction catalogue. Never take the lead."
Liu Yuqing sighed softly, "The catalogue is actually not a big problem. The key is that there are still fewer fine works on the calligraphy and painting works. If you ask you to present this painting to the auction, will you be reluctant to let it go? Grandpa Zhao said that you like this painting very much, and for this, you also bought a few imitations to go back."
Zhou Xia said, "There is nothing to be willing to give up. As long as I can help the company, I have no objection."
"Then Lou thank you first!" Liu Yuqing gave him a brilliant smile. "If it weren't for you, our company might have been smashed this autumn auction.,...
Zhou Xia quickly humbled, "I can't afford this, I'm just doing my best."
While the two of them were talking, they walked through the huā garden and arrived at the living room.
When Zhou Xia saw it, he saw that there were so many people.
The Liu family didn't mention it, and in addition to Zhao Xiangbo and Xu Zhendong, he knew, there were Zhou Nanming who had made things difficult for him, as well as two old men he didn't know. Zhou Xia guessed that one of them might be Zhou Nanming's grandfather generation.
When Liu Yuanshan saw the two of them entering the door, he put down the catalogue in his hand, stood up, and greeted him kindly, "Xiao Zhou, don't disturb you to rest!"
Zhou Xia hurriedly replied, "No, Mr. Liu is too polite!"
Seeing that Liu Yuqing was holding the painting in her hand, Liu Yuanshan asked her, "Okay, Xiao Zhou brought the painting over. Lao Zhao said that he could not identify this painting for a while, and everyone was there, so why don't you discuss it together."
Without his instructions, Liu Yuqing skillfully and lightly spread the painting in her hand on the table, then slowly spread it out, and said in a clear voice, "Please, grandpa."
Zhao Xiangbo has seen it before. "I didn't pay much attention to it now, so I just talked to Zhou Xia last time." "I was excited for a moment and let it go.
But this is just right, so many people will be able to appraise for you for free. If you want to go to them for appraisal, you will have to charge a fee."
Xu Zhendong next to him smiled and said, "Old Zhao, don't talk nonsense. I definitely won't charge Zhou Xia's fees. Their own family won't charge you."
Xu Zhendong, who is not very good at appraisal of calligraphy and painting works, was originally a point of reference, and Zhou Xia could also hear that one of the other two old men must have the surname Zhou. However, this has little to do with him, and he does not want to invest any energy in them. Even if they are from their own family, they may become enemies.
Neither of the other two old men answered, and they all focused on the unfinished drawing spread on the table.
It can be clearly seen that their interest in calligraphy and painting is much greater than that in Zhou Xia. Zhou Xia secretly guessed that their expertise may also be in calligraphy and painting works.
Liu Yuanshan was no exception. As soon as Liu Yuqing unfolded the painting, his eye oak never moved away.
Liu Zeqing and his brothers also looked at the drawings. They all wanted to see what the things that were praised by Zhao Xiangbo looked like.
Zhou Nanming and Liu Suifeng got together. They dared not be too presumptuous and just looked at the paintings on the table from afar and whispered.
A layman watches the excitement, while an expert sees the tricks.
Several old experts originally had smiles on their faces, but soon, the smiles on everyone's faces disappeared, and instead they were a solemn and cautious look. The emotions contained in the eyes of each other were quite complicated, and the meaning was very clear, and they encountered the most difficult problems.
Unfinished works like this are simple and difficult.
If Rulei is a new imitation, it would be quite simple and can be identified by newcomers who are just starting out.
But the problem is that this drawing is not a new imitation work, but a work from some era.
As a result, the difficulty of the appraisal has risen to the peak and has become the most difficult existence in appraisal of calligraphy and painting. So much so, this cannot be called appraisal, it can only be called guessing.
Anyone can find different arguments, and they may justify themselves and others cannot overturn them.
But there is only one truth, some people are right and some are wrong, which is exactly what makes people confused.
Take the few present for example. If everyone insists on different opinions and no one can convince others, the scene will be quite lively.
Therefore, the expressions of several old men were quite serious.
Seeing the expressions of several people, "Cola was so bad that she was watching the excitement next to her. Zhao Xiangbo was watching the fun. When he mentioned it, these calligraphy and painting appraisal experts thought he was joking. So he asked Liu Yuanshan to call and directly asked Zhou Xia to take the draft over to open their horizons so that they could not see the sky from the well.
"It's their turn to taste the taste this time." Zhao Xiangbo said gloatingly. The voice was not loud, but it was enough for everyone to hear it clearly. But no one was thinking about him and was wondering whose work this should be.
There is no signature, no bell mark, only an old piece of paper, and a small number of huā birds and waning moons.
For the top experts, this is a difficult problem.
The old men still disliked the lack of eye contact. They took the opportunity of looking down at the painting and gathered together and whispered to exchange opinions. At this moment, the few people reached an alliance, at least,
You can't let Zhao Xiangbo make a joke.
Liu Suifeng was favored by the responsibility of being favored, and wanted to join in the fun and find out some appraisal opinions. However, Liu Yuanshan waved his hand and drove away, saying to him, "I have time to show you later, so why bother to join in the fun now."
Liu Suifeng could only retreat with a bitter face. At the same time, he did not forget to stare at the culprit and bring this painting to Zhou Xia, who came to the Liu family.
Unfortunately, Zhou Xia didn't have time to fight him. Zhao Xiangbo pestered him and asked him around the bush, saying, "You have been checking the information for a day, so you should understand it! Just tell me alone first. Let me see what the difference is from their appraisal results. Don't worry, I will definitely support you!"
Zhou Xia almost vomited blood. If he hadn't had the system, he knew the exact time of this picture and then made inferences. Not to mention one day, it would be useless to give a few more days. Moreover, Zhao Xiangbo had calculated it as one day after only a morning, which was really convinced.
Zhou Xia could only whisper to him, "I think the most likely thing is the work of Zhu Da, a Bada Shanren in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. And it was his work when he was young, around the time of the demise of the Ming Dynasty, that is, when he completely changed his painting style. I inferred from the full depression, anger and helplessness of the draft. I can only carefully examine the real situation. In this regard, the old men are more capable, and my experience is really insignificant."
"You kid are so cunning. It's time for you, and you still don't forget to flatter others."
Zhao Xiangbo cursed, but was wondering how likely it was in Zhou Xia's painting. Soon, Zhao Xiangbo came to the conclusion that according to Zhou Xia's statement, his guessing result could maximize the value of this painting.
Think about it, who is Zhu Da? The works that have been passed down are basically tens of millions. Although this painting is an unfinished work, it is of great significance. It is not only of great significance to Zhu Da himself, but also decisive for the entire painting world.
These are precisely the places where antiques and cultural relics are truly valuable and meaningful. They have extremely important research value for understanding the social conditions at that time, people's hearts and the painter's own ideological status, etc.
Of course, people nowadays like to use money to measure value.
If this unfinished work was really written by Zhu Da when the fall of the Ming Dynasty, if there is no other word, tens of millions of people will definitely not be able to escape. For those who really like the works of Zhu Da, Bada Shanren, such works are the best textbooks for studying Zhu Da.
