Rebirth

"Robert Hatfield Ellsworth, who is this?" Li Feng asked suspiciously.

After opening the invitation, looking at the name of the owner of the invitation, Li Feng was at a loss. He was really ignorant and had never heard of the name.

"John, this New York collector is also an antique dealer and a Hua Xia Tong. His apartment on the edge of Central Park in Manhattan is called the'Asian Art Museum'. He himself has many titles, such as'The Emperor of China Ming Dynasty Art "The Godfather of China Antiques," etc., are well-known in the collectors circle. He also has a unique Chinese name-An Siyuan."

Seeing Li Feng's puzzled expression, Zhou Jiana couldn't help but smile and explain. With Zhou Jiana's simple explanation, it caused Li Feng to become more interested in this Yankee named An Siyuan. Li Feng really did not expect There are still such people in the US, who are so obsessed with Chinese antique art.

"Jana, you said he is an antique dealer?"

However, Li Feng thought of Zhou Jiana's introduction to this An Siyuan, saying that he was an antique dealer and collector. Only then did he realize what he was and asked with a smile.

"Yes, although An Siyuan is a well-known collector, he is first of all an antique dealer. He has a famous saying that antique art is not for sale, even if there is it, it has not yet reached the price."

"Really, then... Does he have a lot of collections?"

"John, An Siyuan has a good relationship with my father. I have known him since I was a child. There are more than a thousand antique works of art from all over the world on display in his home. The specific number may only be known by him, which is comparable to one. Small museum.

As for its value, according to some financial magazines, art companies, auction houses and other professional institutions, the overall valuation will not be less than 50 million US dollars. The main reason is that his artworks are artworks from all over Asia, including China and India. Waiting for places has led to its low commercial value."

...

After listening to Zhou Jiana’s introduction to this foreigner named An Siyuan, Li Feng couldn’t help but increase his interest. I have to say that Li Feng, who was an ordinary person in his previous life, was very unfamiliar with An Siyuan, etc., but unfortunately , Li Feng is not a collector, if he is a collector, he will understand who An Siyuan is.

There are also collectors and antique dealers specializing in collecting Chinese cultural relics in Europe and the United States. There are many collectors with names in later generations. Among them, Italian antique dealers-Joseph Eskenac and An Siyuan are the most famous.

An Siyuan will not say anything. It is said that after his death, his legacy antiques were auctioned for 7 days by Fu Soup, without first-class auction. The transaction price of later generations exceeded 140 million U.S. dollars. The charity fund of An Siyuan Charity Foundation.

An Siyuan is a childless person. His charity foundation is really a pure charity fund. People may want to keep a name after death. People like An Siyuan are no exception. I hope that future generations will remember If you live by yourself, set up a personally named foundation.

As for Josep, the famous Yuan blue and white cans-Guigu Xiashan and so on in later generations of China are all the sky-high prices he photographed. Most people may not have heard of Joseph's name, but the Yuan blue and white cans-Guigu Xiashan. , Almost everyone in China is familiar with it.

The Josep family is engaged in the antique business and is a world-renowned antique dealer family. It can be said that behind Josep represents the entire family.Naturally, no one knows how many cultural relics and artworks his family has collected from all over the world. They have lived on antiques for generations.

"Jana, you have been wandering around auction houses and collectors all over the world this year. What else is there besides these gains?"

Li Feng found that his collection room was almost full. Obviously, Zhou Jiana had gained far more art works without knowing it, so he couldn't help but ask curiously.

...

"Hey... come here and have a look. This is my harvest at the two major auction houses of Hong Kong Christie's and Fu Sobi. They are all official kiln treasures of the Qing Dynasty.

There are Qing Yongzheng famille rose large plate with bat and peach pattern on the wall (15.5 million Hong Kong dollars), Qing Qianlong enamel yellow ground consecrated carmine red landscape pattern bowl (22 million Hong Kong dollars), and Qing Qianlong enamel flower pheasant inscribed poem gall bottle (1000 Ten thousand Hong Kong dollars), Qing Qianlong famille rose nine-peach celestial vase (9 million Hong Kong dollars)

These are all obtained after I defeated the Italian antique dealer Josep Eskenac, and cost a lot."

"Oh... this is the authentic official kiln of the third Qing Dynasty, let me see..." Seeing Zhou Jiana introducing several Chinese porcelains, Li Feng couldn't help muttering to himself curiously.

The official kilns of the three dynasties of the Qing Dynasty, even outsiders like Li Feng, have heard of his famous name. After all, the later generations have become popular with the collection of China. You can always see and hear about the collection of art in the media and TV. The official kilns of the Qing Dynasty are always one of the representatives of Chinese porcelain.

At this time, Li Feng's grandparents were very happy, especially for the collection of these Chinese art treasures. They echoed Li Feng and Zhou Jiana, saying that they would have the opportunity to collect more in the future.

"John, don’t you know, because I and Joesep made high prices at the two major auction houses in Xiangjiang because of the competition of Huaxia porcelain. In auction houses around the world this year, the overall increase of Huaxia art by 20-30%. Among them, Chinese porcelain is the most."

"Is this bowl bought for 22 million Hong Kong dollars?" Wang Siqing asked suspiciously, standing in front of a large red bowl with landscape paintings and yellow isolation.

Obviously, Wang Siqing was wondering that such a porcelain bowl was worth nearly 3 million U.S. dollars, and he might still be wondering how this thing could be worth 3 million.

"Yes, this is an official kiln boutique of the Qing Dynasty. In fact, this year I and some art collectors sweeping Chinese porcelain works in major auction houses have caused the price to rise a lot. Let's just say this big bowl. So far, someone has bid for 30 million Hong Kong dollars."

Seeing Wang Siqing wondering, Zhou Jiana smiled and interjected.

"In other words, the price of this bowl has risen now. If you sell it, you can earn millions of Hong Kong dollars?"

"Hehe..., it's true."

"..."

After listening to Zhou Jiana’s explanation on the side, except for Li Feng’s accident, everyone else was speechless. The money was too good to make. I bought it this year and the price increased by nearly one million dollars by the end of the year. The easier it is for a rich man to make money.

...

"Xiaofeng, you bought these artworks for collection, right?"

After turning around in the secret room for an hour, Li Feng and everyone were eye-opening, Li Feng Li Feng's grandfather suddenly asked suspiciously.

"Yes, grandpa, do you think any big family does not have such a thing, rich people are keen on collecting, in fact, this is also a way to transfer wealth and increase family heritage.

You see, the art in this secret room now costs more than 150 million U.S. dollars, but now these artworks are definitely worth more than 300 million U.S. dollars, especially this oil painting by Leonardo da Vinci's savior."Li Feng smiled and said to everyone.

"Yes, but Xiaofeng, I want to ask you, do you have any other ideas about these Chinese artworks?"

"Um... Grandpa, do you want to say...?"

"I think, you can collect all of these Huaxia artworks in your homes in China. For one thing, these artworks can be regarded as returning to China. Secondly, returning to China for your future career in China. It's also helpful."

"Hehe..., so, grandpa, this is actually already in my plan. After I complete the courtyard house in Huaxia Capital, I will put many of these Chinese art works there, except for some. Fortunately speaking Except for a few, most of Huaxia’s artworks are not allowed to leave the country."

"Well, it's best for you to have such an idea. In other words, you also have half of Huaxia's blood. Now you are not short of money. You can make a contribution to the return of Huaxia Art."

The old man was also a veteran intellectual of China, but he had some thoughts and reminded Li Feng specifically.

"Don't worry, grandpa, I know it in my heart." Li Feng responded with a smile.

...

As a former Hua Xia person, although he is not engaged in antique art, every time he sees and hears the news of Hua Xia art in European and American auction houses in his previous life, it is always accompanied by various depressions in the domestic media, especially the most famous one. 12 zodiac signs.

If he could do something within his power, Li Feng wouldn't mind it, and when Huaxia rises in all aspects in the future, what Li Feng can do can earn him a good reputation for Huaxia. Why not do it.
