Chapter 202 The screen of 1.5 billion
This piece of dragon-killing grass is just a low-quality item. The real high-quality one is like fish eating ambergris. It needs to be purified in the sea for more than a hundred years. All the toxic impurities are removed and can relieve all poisons. It is very precious.
As for baical leaves, although they cannot be used directly to combine fragrance, the best material for making sachets is used to preserve fragrance. It will not rot for a hundred years and will not dissipate. It is a natural secret recipe for fragrance storage.
These are all from the primeval forests in southern Yunnan. There are many treasures and are also one of the places where agarwood is produced. If you have the chance, you must go to the local area to search for treasures. No matter that, according to the records of Dayan, there is still an opportunity.
"What? Estimated price of 1.5 billion!"
Ling Junsheng rarely saw Wen Yiming's surprised expression and smiled: "Tomorrow is a special event for Baishi in Baoli. Manager Wu of Rongbaozhai called me and asked us to participate. Not to mention the others, Baishi is a professional painter, with more than 20,000 pieces in existence, and the quality is uneven, and the fish and dragons are mixed."
"But this set of 12 landscape screens is definitely the pinnacle!" The old man pointed to the album and introduced: "In 1925, Qi Baishi gave it to Chen Zilin, a famous doctor in the capital, and was later collected by the old man Baishi's female disciple Guo Xiuyi and his husband Huang Qixiang."
"Each screen has a surface size of 180 cm and a horizontal dimension of 47 cm, totaling twelve. There were only two exhibitions before 2015. One was the Qi Baishi Painting Exhibition held at the Palace Museum in 1954. It was able to enter the exhibition before his death, which shows that the old man Baishi attaches great importance to this set of paintings; the other was the Qi Baishi's legacy exhibition held by the Soviet Exhibition and Culture Center in 1958."
Ling Junsheng sighed: "Among the works that Qi Baishi has painted in his life, there are more four screens, six screens and eight screens. As far as we know, there are only two sets of twelve sets of landscapes, which is one of them. The other set can represent the highest achievement of Qi Baishi's art and is also the only classic in folk collections."
Wen Yiming nodded. No wonder Baoli estimated the price of 1.5 billion yuan, which is already the highest record of classical calligraphy and painting. Now Qi Baishi's fine screen costs almost tens of millions, doubled in pairs and doubled in four. The only twelve screens are worth at least 800 million!
This kind of top quality must be opened. The next day, the three of them drove to the Sofitel VIP room, met with Manager Wu, and visited the Twelve Screens together.
Seeing the twelve screens on the entire wall with one's own eyes, even Wen Yiming was deeply shocked. Manager Wu was even more excited and kept muttering to himself, extremely obsessed.
"Excellent!"
It took a long time for Mr. Wu to come back to his senses and sighed: "In the turbulent era, Chen Zilin asked the famous painter Liu Jintao to convert the twelve screens of his collection into his collection. According to Liu Jintao's recollection, he had gone to find two wealthy people Zhang Ding and Ai Qing. The two came to his house. After seeing the painting, Zhang Ding knelt on the ground and praised him. Several negotiations failed, and the owner did not sell the new coins below 45,000 yuan. Liu Jintao had to continue looking for the next house, and then found Huang Qixiang and Guo Xiuyi and his wife."
"At that time, Huang Qixiang and Guo Xiuyi and his wife finished reading this painting, they did not hesitate and bought them all in full. At that time, the money was astronomical. According to the implementation of wage reform in 1955, the highest leader's monthly salary was only 404 yuan!"
Everyone was shocked after hearing this. It seemed that the best products were sky-high prices no matter what era. With the increase in prices, the best products now have exceeded 1.5 billion!
"1.5 billion? This time it will definitely be a big organization fighting each other, and ordinary collectors can watch the show!"
"That's not necessarily!"
Suddenly a voice came from behind everyone, Ling Tiancheng turned around and smiled, "Who did I say have such confidence? It turned out to be Liu Yiqian!"
