Rebirth of a technological power - Chapter 11 Three Calligraphy and Paintings

Cai Jin found Tang Bohu’s paintings incredible when he thought about them.

If this painting is authentic, then this painting can be used as a family heirloom.

As soon as Cai Jin logged into the Internet and looked up the auction prices of authentic calligraphy and paintings by Tang Bohu, Cai Jin took a breath of air as soon as he checked.

My heart beat hard.

In 2013, Tang Bohu’s “Lushan Waterfall Viewing” was sold for US$590 million, equivalent to approximately 3.6 billion yuan. In the same year, there were also Tang Bohu’s imitations of “Songya Farewell” with a transaction price of 71.3 million yuan, “Jiangting Talking about Ancient Painting” with a transaction price of 31.5 million yuan, and “Lady Playing the Flute” with a transaction price of 92.7 million US dollars or approximately 710 million yuan. .

Looking at Tang Bohu’s authentic paintings in the past ten years, there is no painting worth less than 30 million.

This means that if this painting is true, then the value of such a painting exceeds those of small and large yellow croakers.

Cai Jin carefully rerolled the painting and put it into a sealed bag.

He took out the second painting, and when he opened it, a blooming sunflower appeared in front of him. There was a sentence next to the sunflower: To my hesitant life, Vincent William Van Gogh!

These sunflowers are like a blazing fire, the painting style is so gorgeous and the colors are so intense. When Cai Jin saw the signature of this sunflower, his heart completely burned: This is Van Gogh!

Cai Jin vaguely knew that there were more than 20 pieces of “Sunflowers” by Van Gogh, and some of them were missing.

In order to determine this, he turned on his mobile phone and searched for relevant information online.

Soon, Cai Jin found the relevant information.

Van Gogh did indeed paint more than 11 “Sunflowers”. In his letter to his brother, he mentioned that he painted a total of 24 paintings, in which twelve sunflowers were used to represent the twelve disciples of Christ. In addition, he designated the members of the Southern Studio There were 12 people, including myself and my two younger brothers, for a total of 14 days, I painted 14 more paintings.

Cai Jin was excited. His painting might be real.

Even if Cai Jin is a man in science and engineering, he knows how valuable Van Gogh’s “Sunflower” is.

Among the information, it is shown that in 1987, the Japanese company auctioned the next “Sunflower” at a staggeringly high price of 39.5 million U.S. dollars.

Although eight well-known international art appraisal experts jointly pointed out that the “Sunflower” was just a fake in 1998, it also shows how valuable Van Gogh’s “Sunflower” is.

The reason why “Sunflowers” has never had a higher auction price is mainly because in the past thirty years, no more “Sunflowers” by Van Gogh has been auctioned.

I carefully put away this “Sunflower” painting, and my heart was filled with excitement.

Gold in troubled times, antiques in prosperous times.

But now, whether it’s gold or antiques, he has them all.

If these two paintings are both authentic, they are enough to be passed down as family heirlooms for ten generations.

Take the third painting out of the ziplock bag and open it to take a look.

This is a bamboo painting. There are several bamboo poles in the painting. They are staggered at different heights, tall and elegant, and have a refreshing and noble spirit. The stone pillar behind the bamboo stands upright, using pure light ink, which contrasts with the shades of the bamboo leaves.

There is a poem inscribed in the painting:

Don’t let go of the green mountains, your roots are still in the broken rocks.

It has endured thousands of blows but is still strong, regardless of the winds from east to west, north and south.

Cai Jin was shocked when he saw the title.

These turned out to be the calligraphy and paintings of Zheng Xie and Zheng Banqiao. Naturally, Cai Jin knew about Zheng Banqiao.

“If these three paintings and calligraphy were all genuine, they would be released!” Cai Jin murmured to himself.

He was shocked. The value of any of these three calligraphy and paintings was far more than those of small and large yellow croakers.

This time, ‘Benben’ made great achievements!

After calming down, Cai Jin thought of a question, that is, what to do with the gold.

He had no intention of selling the three paintings, but kept them for himself to enjoy and as family heirlooms.

But for gold, there is no need. The price of gold has soared this time and has reached a high level. It may continue to rise in the future, but it may not rise much.

Furthermore, the company also needs money. With money, it can recruit more people, better explore the market, put into production better, produce more mechanical dogs, and produce other types of robots.

He can’t do everything by himself.

He has no plans to find a foundry himself for the time being.

Because he now has the ability, he wants to give back to his hometown, and investing in and building a factory in his hometown is undoubtedly the best choice.

Maybe, this is the characteristic of the Hokkien people.

Even if you go abroad, as long as you make money, you will return to your hometown to build and give back to your hometown.

Cai Jin searched and found that if he sold gold to a bank, he would not only have to provide proof of the gold’s origin, but also have to deduct various wear and tear expenses.

After thinking about it, he felt that what the netizen said made sense. If there was gold to be disposed of, it was best to sell it to a gold store.

Cai Jin took the calligraphy, paintings and gold and loaded them into the car.

He just bought this car a few days ago, BYD Tang, pure electric, 517 horsepower, and it is said that the endurance can reach 730km.

Of course, he never really believed in this kind of battery life and always discounted it.

Cai Jin divided the gold into two backpacks and drove to Ludao.

With so much gold, whether it is the county town or Narcissus City, the target seems too big.

So Cai Jin chose Ludao as a special area.

More than an hour later, Cai Jin drove to the basement of SM City Plaza, then picked up a backpack and took Benben to the first floor.

Chow Tai Fook, this is a very famous jewelry brand store.

When I walked in, I saw a lot of products inside, with more than a dozen counters filled with a dazzling array. There were many salespeople in the store, and some people were looking at gold jewelry.

As soon as Cai Jin walked in, he was greeted by an enthusiastic salesman. The salesman looked about thirty years old and wore exquisite makeup.

Working in this kind of jewelry store requires makeup and clothing.

“Hello, sir, would you like to take a look at the gold jewelry? We have a new batch of new styles of hand gestures in our store, would you like to pick them out?”

Cai Jin asked cautiously: “I’m not here to buy jewelry. Do you accept gold here?”

“Yes, sir, our store provides gold recycling business.” The salesperson’s face was still filled with a professional smile, which made people feel like spring breeze.

Cai Jin smiled and said: “I have more gold. Do you think you should ask your store manager or manager to come over?”

The salesman’s smile faded.

She wasn’t angry, thinking that Cai Jin was looking down on her, but she looked at the backpack on Cai Jin’s back and it felt heavy. She knew that there must be a lot of gold in the backpack.

After briefly glancing at Cai Jin’s backpack, the salesperson smiled and said, “Sir, please come with me first, and I’ll ask our manager to come over.”

After saying that, she stretched out her hand to signal Cai Jin to follow her inside, crossed the counter, and came to a room. The salesperson first poured him a glass of water, then asked him to wait and turned around to go out.

Cai Jin didn’t touch the glass of water.

You must not have the intention of harming others, and you must have the intention of guarding against others!

Although this is a regular gold store belonging to a big brand, it’s always a good idea.
