Rebirth

"Actually, I think it's understandable. Although the Weng family's 6-generation collection makes his family's art valuable, but to be honest, the life of the Weng family's descendants in the United States is just an ordinary middle class. I want to come and guard such a big treasure. The descendants of Weng Wango must have their own minds.

Weng Wange wanted to sell part of these national treasures to the museums of China. Unfortunately, it is said that he had contacted them. They were sold at a low price. However, the museums of China did not have so much funding and could not afford it.

The annual maintenance costs for these artworks are a lot, making it difficult for the people of the Weng family to continue. It is estimated that all aspects of the situation are considered, and the Weng family will make such a choice."

"Humph..."

Li Feng still snorted slightly to express his unhappiness. After all, the Weng family donated all these collections to the Museum of the United States. This is naturally unhappy for Li Feng, who is a white-skinned red heart.

Regarding Li Feng's performance, Wang Siqing and Zhou Jiana, who are the people on the side of the pillow, expressed speechlessness. For these people who have been deeply educated in the United States since childhood, the choice of the Weng family is understandable.

In fact, Li Feng didn’t know that the old man Weng Wange was actually a good person. From the previous life of the Weng family to the time when Weng Wange was in charge, the family collections were still in their own. Weng Wange was even in 2000. About 80 kinds of rare and rare ancient books of the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties collected by the family, totaling more than 540 volumes, were sold to the Museum of the Magic City for only 4.5 million US dollars.

Many of these are top-level cultural relics of the'national treasure' level. This is obviously the price is very low, and it can be regarded as the last wish of the old man. As for those who are morally kidnapped, it is said that you simply donated them all. Why sell it? It can only make people speechless. After all, descendants of the Weng family have to eat. It is understandable that a family that is not a rich family can do this. After all, compared to the actual value of these artworks, 4.5 million US dollars is really true. It's a big sale of conscience.

......

To be honest, Weng Wango's descendants all grew up in the United States after all. How could it be possible to make Weng Wange's descendants show feelings and sentiments like the old man.

In fact, the same is true. After Weng Wango completely retired and ignored world affairs, the descendants of the Weng family “donated” hundreds of precious artworks left by the Weng family to the Boston Museum of Art. A sensation, a huge sound of discussion.

In fact, this “donation” does not mean that the ownership is completely handed over to the museum. The real ownership actually belongs to the Weng family. Just like many previous donation figures, through the museum exhibition, you can continuously receive wealth, Legacy descendants.

This “donation” event of later generations, especially in the Huaxia art circle and the folk influence, later donated the Weng family to museums in the United States instead of letting these precious works of art return to China, which naturally aroused China’s netizens and “angry youth”. 'Our anger.

At that time, Weng Wange made a great contribution to the promotion of Chinese art and Chinese culture in the United States. He was the chairman and founder of the China American Association.

"How much did it cost this time?" After hearing Zhou Jiana's explanation, Li Feng calmed down, and then asked with a smile.

"Relax, Huaxia Art is not mainstream in the United States, and its value is low. This time, 150 pieces of art have been acquired from Weng’s family. All of them are genuine. According to market valuation, the lowest is US$100,000, and the highest is But 5 million dollars, a total of 80 million dollars was spent.

And before, there was a museum in Huaxia that contacted the Weng family. It is said that this time because we are willing to spend a lot of money on the acquisition, the Weng family is at least not'lack of money'. This time, Mr. Weng was bold and decided to donate one. The museum that approves works of art to Huaxia seems to be the museum of the magic capital. After all, Mr. Weng was born in the magic capital and settled in the magic capital when he was young."

"Oh..., then we have done a good thing invisibly!"

"..."

......

"By the way, have you contacted the descendants of Picasso?" Now that the issue of art was mentioned, Li Feng couldn't help but smile.

"Haha..., I have already contacted. After you contacted me in London before, I immediately contacted Malena Picasso by phone. People are very interested in selling the Picasso works mentioned, and I expressed my desire to buy a lot. Marlena said that we can talk about it."

"Hehe..., I heard that Picasso left hundreds of paintings and hundreds of sketches to others, totaling more than a thousand works of art. This time I see you can get it from this Picasso descendant. How many Picasso paintings are there."

"Is that right? I have heard of this Picasso’s descendant before, but I have never been in contact with it. This is an opportunity. Don’t worry, since people are willing to talk, I think we will definitely get a lot of Picasso’s art treasures, after all, customers like us, Malena, shouldn’t come across a few. After all, Picasso’s paintings are so valuable that ordinary rich people may not be able to afford it."

"How are you going to talk?"

"I'm going to buy part of my paintings and part of my sketches. As far as I can talk about it, I can talk about as much as I can. According to you, John, that's the more the better, right?"

"Hehe..., of course, the more the better, but we always have to make a discount for such large-scale acquisitions!"

"You can rest assured that it must be lower than the actual value. After all, it is really necessary to acquire a large number of Picasso's paintings at one time. The funds are astronomical. I think Malena will understand the truth. This world can come up with such a one-time operation. There are not many people who have huge sums of cash. Besides, there are so many Picasso paintings at once, and Malena should also be very clear that too many paintings will inevitably lead to a decrease in the value of Picasso’s paintings. She should be more precious. Will understand.

I think it is probably the main reason why Malena collects all the paintings left by the family by herself. Of course, Malena I have already begun to collect information about her and get to know this person.

To put it bluntly, she is not a collector at all, she just got such a treasure after she was lucky to become a Picasso, she actually didn’t mind selling Picasso’s paintings at all, if it weren’t for worrying about putting them on the market at once. Too much, causing the price of Picasso's paintings to fall too much. It is estimated that he has already sold his paintings in large quantities."

"Haha..., there is no way, reincarnation is a technical job, who made her the heir of Picasso's descendants? Thinking about more than a thousand Picasso's paintings and sketches, it's really speechless!" Li Feng couldn't help laughing at this time. Jokingly said.

"..."

......

"John, Jana, I think I should put them all together quickly. As for the matter, we should sit down and talk about it." At this time, Wang Siqing walked over with a smile and said to the two.

"Alright, right, these are from the Weng family?" Li Feng asked with a smile, looking at the various paintings and calligraphy works densely piled together.

"Where, thanks to An Siyuan, we have recently acquired a lot of Chinese artworks, among which there are a lot of treasures. If they are in China, they can be regarded as first-class cultural relics, which is what ordinary people call'national treasures'. These are the credits of An Siyuan. He is absolutely top-notch presence in the Chinese art market in the United States, and his network is really broad."

"Really, that's great."

"In addition to these Chinese artworks, there are also two paintings by Michelangelo and Raphael among the three masters of the Renaissance. Both of them are sketch portraits. These are the collectors who contacted him. I bought it later.

There is also a Rembrandt painting called Bust of Man with Hands on Hips. These three artworks cost more than 30 million U.S. dollars. It feels that Chinese artworks are worthwhile, and European and American artworks are still too high.Zhou Jiana explained again with a smile.

"Sent to the door?"

"Yes, I am a big name in the world art market nowadays, and many people will contact my team if they want to sell treasures!" Zhou Jiana replied with satisfaction when she heard Li Feng's words.

"Haha..., it's okay to bring it to your door. We are always here. There is so much cash in our overseas account. Please don't worry and collect it." Li Feng immediately replied with great pride.

"Ha ha..."

"..."

I have to say that Li Feng asked Zhou Jiana to set up a team that specializes in the acquisition of antique art works. Now I don’t know how many antique art works Li Feng has received. Anyway, there are quite a few. A variety of fine works, such as the masterpieces of the three masters of the Renaissance, Picasso, Van Gogh, and other world-renowned masters. There are really many masterpieces from ancient and modern times at home and abroad.

It can be said that Li Feng is now going further and further on the road of collecting.
