After getting Xu Ruolan's painting, Zhang Yilong rushed straight to the "Treasure Pavilion". He first wanted to ask Uncle Guang for an appraisal. After all, Li Deguang was a highly respected appraiser and Zhang Yilong's most trusted expert. The other party's appraisal skills Although he is not the best in the industry, there should be no problem in identifying an ancient painting. Zhang Yilong is very relieved about this. He believes that as long as it passes Li Deguang's eyes, the authenticity of the painting he just took will be immediately clear.
However, Zhang Yilong is still relatively confident. Through his preliminary appraisal, he believes that the painting Xu Ruolan gave him is an authentic palace painting. There is no error in either the paper quality or the quality of the painting itself.
Despite this, Zhang Yilong is not completely sure that just because he has clairvoyance does not mean that he can easily identify antiques. Appraisal of an object mainly depends on eyesight, and eyesight not only refers to the acuity of the eyes, but also includes the amount of experience and experience. In terms of knowledge, Zhang Yilong has only been in the industry for a short time. He has insufficient experience and what he has learned is extremely limited. He can only roughly appraise an antique.
So if you want to determine the true identity of the Lushan painting in your hand as early as possible, the only way is to go to Li Deguang, who he knows.
Zhang Yilong originally didn't think about it like this. He planned to go to the company as soon as he got the painting from Xu Ruolan's house, and then let Mu Wanqing do the appraisal, and then prepare for the auction. But he never expected that the painting in the other person's hand turned out to be It is an ancient painting at the level of a national treasure. In this case, things have to be reconsidered. Such a good painting is reluctant to be put on the auction table and let others take it. At least you have to appreciate it enough first, otherwise you will definitely have regrets.
Not long after, Zhang Yilong took a ride to the familiar antique street. The car stopped in front of the pawn shop's "Treasure Pavilion" door. After getting out of the car, Zhang Yilong walked quickly towards the store with the painting in hand.
After walking in, Zhang Yilong turned around and looked around. But Li Deguang was nowhere to be seen, only his former nemesis and pawn shop boy Zhuang Jun was seen sitting behind the counter reading a book.
Zhuang Jun saw someone coming in and glanced subconsciously. But when he caught a glimpse of Zhang Yilong, he immediately looked away, pretending that he hadn't seen it, and didn't manage his finances at all.
Seeing that Zhuang Jun turned a blind eye to his arrival. Zhang Yilong didn't react at all. He was used to it. Every time he came to see Li Deguang in the past, Zhuang Jun had the same attitude towards him, very cold, because the other party was jealous of him and jealous that he was close to Mu Wanqing. Mu Wanqing also always Treat him well.
That day, when Li Deguang took out two pen holders to test Zhang Yilong and Zhuang Jun's appraisal skills, Zhang Yilong defeated Zhuang Jun. This must have made Zhuang Jun hate Zhang Yilong even more. But Zhang Yilong didn't care at all about Zhuang Jun's reaction.
Li Deguang didn¡¯t seem to be at the pawn shop, and Zhang Yilong was not in a hurry. He sat down patiently and took out his mobile phone to call someone. Naturally, it was Li Deguang.
The call was quickly answered. After Li Deguang answered, Zhang Yilong asked with a smile: "Uncle Guang, where are you now? Are you free?"
"I'm outside." A gentle old man's voice came from the other end of the phone, saying, "Xiaolong, what do you want from me? Have you come to the pawn shop now?"
Zhang Yilong replied: "Yes. I'm in the pawn shop now. Uncle Guang, I have something here, and I want you to help me palm my eyes. I don't know if it's inconvenient for you now. If it's not convenient, I'll come to you for appraisal next time." .¡±
Li Deguang quickly agreed: "Since you are here, I will go back to find you right away. Don't go away, I'm back. Let's talk later."
After saying that, he said goodbye and hung up the phone. After listening to what he said, Zhang Yilong only felt warm in his heart, which meant that Li Deguang valued him very much. If an ordinary person came to him, he might not be treated so well.
"Xiaolong¡ª¡ª" After waiting for about seven or eight minutes, I suddenly heard a very familiar shout coming from the door. The person who was greeting Zhang Yilong was naturally Li Deguang, who had rushed back after hearing the news.
"Uncle Guang!" Zhang Yilong stood up immediately and nodded politely to Li Deguang.
Li Deguang walked up with a smile on his face and said, "I heard from Wan Qing that you have been very busy recently. What have you been busy with? Have you found anything good?"
Zhang Yilong shook his head humbly and said, "I'm not busy with anything, I'm just messing around."
He seems to have a "difference between what he means and what he says", because he has picked up a lot of leaks in the past few days, and almost all of them are large ones. From palace lanterns to blue and white gourds, each one is valuable.
"Oh, you said you brought something, do you want me to take a look?" Li Deguang asked directly, and then he noticed the painting box Zhang Yilong was holding in his hand, but he did not ask Zhang Yilong to put the thing away immediately. Instead of showing it to him, he called Zhang Yilong to an elegant inner room.
"Xiaolong, sit down." Walking into the roomFinally, Li Deguang greeted warmly.
"Well." Zhang Yilong sat down calmly and said, "Uncle Guang, this is a painting. Please help me take a look."
"Okay." Li Deguang nodded without hesitation, then he took out the spectacle case from his pocket, took out his reading glasses and put them on, preparing to appraise the painting for Zhang Yilong.
Zhang Yilong carefully opened the painting box, then slowly opened the painting on the large Eight Immortals table and showed it to Li Deguang.
"Oh?!" After seeing the painting clearly, Li Deguang couldn't help but exclaimed, and said excitedly, "Xiaolong, where did youdid you get this painting?! This is not an ordinary painting! Not simple, very not simple!¡±
He praised him repeatedly. Seeing that he had such a big reaction after seeing the painting, Zhang Yilong was pleasantly surprised. It seemed that there was nothing wrong with the thing. His initial judgment was correct.
"Uncle Guang, please tell me first, is this painting genuine or fake?" Zhang Yilong asked without answering.
"It's a real bargain at first glance! Xiaolong, can't you see it?! This is Qianlong's royal painting "Songyang Han Cypress"!" Li Deguang said with a change of expression, "Did you see it? The signature on it is The seal of "Shiqu Baoji" indicates that it is a famous painting by Yu Lan. The paper used in this painting is imitation of the Jinsu Mountain Sutra paper, which is extremely precious! Xiaolong, it is not an exaggeration to say that this painting is a national treasure! You are How did you get it?! The origin must not be simple!"
Li Deguang was full of praise. With his affirmation, Zhang Yilong no longer had any doubts and replied: "Uncle Guang, this painting belongs to a friend of mine and was handed down from his ancestors."
"No wonder!" Li Deguang said with a sudden realization, "Let me just say, you can't get such a precious painting from the antique market. It will only be a private collection that is not leaked. The ancestors of your friend must have He is a big shot, otherwise I wouldn¡¯t be able to collect Qianlong¡¯s royal paintings. Xiaolong, let me take a closer look!¡±
"Uncle Guang, take a look, don't be in a hurry." Zhang Yilong nodded without thinking. Although he also knew that the painting at the moment was the royal painting of Emperor Qianlong, there were still many details that were not very clear, so identification was difficult. , now it¡¯s time to consult the master-level appraiser Li Deguang.
In this industry, the person Zhang Yilong admires the most is Li Deguang. He had always wanted to become his disciple before, but unfortunately he missed a rare opportunity that time. Otherwise, he would have worked under Li Deguang, and he would have been able to get the other person's job. The true biography was lost in the east but was harvested in the east. He did not get Li Deguang's personal biography, but he learned a lot of practical identification knowledge from Mu Wanqing, which actually made him surpass the proud and complacent Zhuang Jun.
"This painting can be said to be lifelike in every stroke!" Li Deguang murmured in admiration while appreciating it carefully, "Throughout this masterpiece, Qianlong's brushwork faithfully and vividly reproduced the shape and spirit of Han cypresses. Among other things, It is more than a thousand years old, with an ancient appearance, mottled pale bark, a thick trunk, entangled branches, and raised galls. The root of the tree is rotten and hollow, but it stands tall and tall like clouds, reaching up to the sky. Three or two large branches at the crown of the tree are slanting. It looks like a Kunpeng spreads its wings, and the young leaves on the branches are dancing, full of vitality. The painting selects the angle of looking up and the most spectacular and touching side of the Han cypress. Through precise and slightly trembling brushstrokes, it depicts the senility of the Han cypress despite its old age. She has a green and upbeat spiritual outlook. And this outlook also expresses Qianlong¡¯s wish for his mother¡¯s longevity and health
"Xiaolong, do you know? This "Songyang Han Cypress Picture" is just one of them. Qianlong painted "Songyang Han Cypress Picture" more than once. It is said that there are three pictures in total, but I have only heard about it. I have never seen it. I have seen authentic works, and I was lucky enough to see one of them today, which is really eye-opening!¡±
"Uncle Guang, in your opinion, how much could this painting fetch if it were put on the auction block?" Zhang Yilong asked casually.
"What? Xiaolong, is your friend going to auction this painting?!" Li Deguang turned around and looked at Zhang Yilong in surprise, and said solemnly, "Don't sell it. Once this kind of treasure is given away, it may be lost forever." No chance to see it! Wouldn¡¯t it be better to hold the collection by yourself and appreciate it sometimes?¡±
Zhang Yilong nodded and said: "Uncle Guang, you are right. I was just asking casually, but my friend has no such plan yet."
"Well, that's good." Li Deguang said with a joyful expression, "If I had to set a price for this painting, it should not be less than 100 million. The starting price is at least 40 million! Because this kind of thing is really rare and rare to see. arrive!"
"Is it really worth 100 million?!" Hearing this, Zhang Yilong couldn't help but secretly gasped. 100 million is too crazy, but it's true.
This also means that if Xu Ruolan gave him a priceless treasure worth 100 million yuan, would she regret it if she knew that the painting was so valuable?
But it can be seen that Xu Ruolan is not the kind of person who pursues material wealth. Her family is already very wealthy and has no worries about food and clothing. A little more money does not seem to mean much to her family.
"Xiaolong, I've finished reading, please put it away properly."
After carefully observing it for a while, Li Deguang suddenly raised his head and said, "You can take the painting back now and tell your friend that this is an authentic painting without a doubt!"
