Chapter 266 Delivered to the Auction House
The so-called sixth level of carpentry sounds very mysterious, but it is actually a subjective thing.
In the very early days, there were no carpenters, carpenters, carpenters, carpenter masters, great masters, or carpenter gods.
Apprentice carpenters, carpenters, old carpenters.
The so-called grading, to put it bluntly, is to raise one's status.
A carpenter, no matter how good his skills are, he is still a craftsman. A carpenter, when he hears about it, his quality is much higher.
Just like painters, people who used to make a living by painting were called painters, and those who were better were called painters.
Later, I felt that no matter whether it is a painter or a painter, the quality is not high enough, so there are masters of painting, masters of painting, and great artists.
In fact, in the final analysis, these crafts in ancient times were all the crafts of the ancients for eating.
Even in modern times, those praised artists and painters, why don't they make a living by painting?
However, Zhang Junping could only think about these words in his heart, and would never say them out.
Zhang Junping bowed slightly to Lin Fengmian modestly, "Mr. Lin, you are overpaying. I am still far from master's level. If I study with master for another 30 to [-] years, I may be lucky enough to reach master's level."
Zhang Junping's modesty made the faces of several older generation artists present feel better.
At their age, money is no longer attractive to them, and they can earn almost the same amount of money.
It can be said that after success and fame, what I hope to get is the respect of the younger generation.
Because people from Hong Kong Chinese University gathered in front of Zhang Junping's exhibits, it attracted many tourists, art lovers, and art collectors who came to visit.
Of course, there are also art investors.
The so-called art investors, the official statement is to rely on their own advanced and keen eyesight to discover and buy those works of art that have room for appreciation, and wait for future appreciation.
In reality, the water here is very deep.
The general operation is to find some painters who are relatively good at painting but not well-known, and sign a contract with him.
How many years in the future, or how many works in the future will belong to him.
Then, the investors started various operations, dragging the contracted painters or calligraphers or other works of art to continuously appreciate in value.
They profit from it.
Naturally, the investor will make the most profit from this kind of operation, but as a painter himself, the harvest is also not small, not only gaining fame, but also getting rich money returns.
It can be said to be a win-win situation.
As for the buyers, naturally they are not at a disadvantage.
Some people really like it, and such people are not easy to be fooled.
For some people, the purpose of buying art is not pure, so it doesn't matter whether they are fooled or not.
As long as it is not a work of art bought at a high price today, it will become worthless tomorrow.
It doesn't matter whether it will appreciate in the future or not.
What they buy is more face, what they buy is the title of artist.
Such people are the best buyers in the eyes of art investors.
Art investors have already prepared these things perfectly for them.
Various titles, various awards, even international awards, will definitely dazzle you.
No, as soon as the Ministry of Culture, school leaders, Lin Fengmian, Jao Zongyi and others left, someone approached Zhang Junping.
A young man in his 30s, dressed in a well-knit suit and dressed as an elite, spoke Cantonese-style mandarin with sore teeth, and approached Zhang Junping.
"Mr. Thunder Monkey... I'm always gray and gray. I'm always talking about similar words and wood carvings...
I am willing to pay 500 million to buy similar words and wood carvings. "
This one is not the art investor just mentioned, but another kind of purer investor.
This type of people really relies on their eyesight and judgment on the market to invest in art.
"U.S. dollars?" Zhang Junping was in the right mood at the moment, so he talked nonsense to the other party.
"No, no, it's in Hong Kong dollars. This kind of money is in Xiangjiang, so it's natural to use Hong Kong dollars."
"Sorry! This is not for sale." Zhang Junping flatly refused.
"Sir, I really like your words and wood carvings very much.
I am very sincere, and 500 million is already a lot of money. "The young man was not disappointed either, and continued to persuade Zhang Junping patiently.
Frankly speaking, the price of 500 million Hong Kong dollars is really very sincere.
If it is an ordinary person, it may be moved.
However, Zhang Junping is not an ordinary person.
He is a time traveler, but also an artist who is not short of money.
Naturally, he would not be moved by 500 million Hong Kong dollars. If he was given 500 million U.S. dollars, he might be able to impress Zhang Junping.
"Feel sorry!
These works of mine are not for sale. "Zhang Junping refused again.
"Sir, think about it!
If the husband is not satisfied with the price, I can also help him to take it to the auction, so that it can be sold for a good price. "The young man did not give up, and took out a business card while persuading him.
Zhang Junping took the business card politely, glanced at it, and felt secretly happy.
Sotheby's Xiangjiang Auction House, senior consultant Liu, Liu Qianli.
It's a pity that the surname is not good. If the surname is Song and it's called Song Qianli, the name will be more convenient.
Send you away, thousands of miles away.
Zhang Junping was delighted that he was planning to find Sotheby's or other international auction houses.
"Mr. Liu, although I can't sell my own works to you, I have other businesses and need Mr. Liu's help."
It would be my pleasure to serve you. "Young heard the meaning of Zhang Junping's words, and instantly entered the role.
"I have a few rare stamps in my hand that I would like to entrust your auction house to sell."
"Sir, can the manuscript paper (not a typo) be a stamp?"
"A penny in the petite quadruple, and some missionaries in the petit quadruple."
"Penny Black for the quadruple sheet? And the missionary for the quadruple sheet?
Sir didn't lie to me? "Shocked, the young mandarin has become much more standard.
"Of course it's true. If Mr. Liu is interested, we can make an appointment, and Mr. Liu can find someone to appraise it." Zhang Junping smiled.
In fact, when he came to Xiangjiang this time, he not only brought stamps, but also a sketch of Picasso.
For the time being, he is not going to take out Picasso's sketches, so he will use the stamps first.
"no problem.
What's your surname, sir? "
"My surname is Zhang, Zhang Gongchang!" Zhang Junping introduced himself with a flat smile.
"Mr. Zhang can bring the stamps to our auction house if it is convenient. We have a special appraiser who is in charge of appraisal.
If Mr. Zhang is inconvenient, we can also bring an appraiser to visit. "Young was very polite and said to Zhang Junping professionally.
"Afternoon! I live in the business hotel next to the Great Hall.
I'm waiting for Mr. Liu at the hotel. "Zhang Junping thought for a while and said.
The reason why he didn't go to the auction house was because he didn't have time, and because he took the opportunity to increase his value.
"Mr. Zhang, I'm really sincere, don't you think about what you say?"
