Chapter 31 High-end Market (5)
Calligraphy and painting actually do not refer to a single work of art, it includes calligraphy and painting. Among the four talented men in Wuzhong, Zhu Yunming was the best at calligraphy. He was not only Wen Zhengming's calligraphy teacher, but also gave guidance to Tang Yin in calligraphy. Because of his profound calligraphy attainments, the market for his calligraphy works has been bullish. At the auction of ancient Chinese calligraphy and painting works held by China Jiade Auction Company not long ago, Zhu Yunming's regular script work "Huang Tingjing" was sold at a price of 5.26 million. At the same auction, Tang Yin's running script work "Burning Incense and Sitting Silently" also achieved a high price of 4.7 million.
Generally speaking, the value of paintings is higher than that of calligraphy works. Tang Yin's original paintings are not only more than 10 million yuan, but the price is still unavailable. Compared with the two, the value of this painting "Stand the River and the Mountains" seems to be more than 10 million yuan, but the store is not a fool, and the price they set is still relatively high. First of all, the quality of this painting is not very good. The silk it uses is the cheapest silk on the market at that time. This silk is rough in texture, sparse in the weft, and it feels like sandpaper, and it is extremely difficult to be easily affected by ink. The so-called good horses and good saddles, but not good silk will naturally affect the quality of the painting, and thus affect the price. Secondly, this painting "Stand the River and the Mountains" is an ink painting, and the market has always been worse than color paintings. Thirdly, painting is not Zhu Yunming's expertise, and the market will inevitably be affected.
The store priced according to the market conditions, but Tang Feng measured it from the perspective of collection value. First of all, Zhu Yunming's paintings were very small, which is very likely to be a lonely product in his paintings. Scarcity is precious, which offsets the impact of poor quality. Secondly, because this kind of silk is not good, there are fewer fine paintings made of this kind of silk, which may be the reason why this painting was collected by the Qing Palace. Thirdly, the way to collect is to buy low and reject highs. When the market is sluggish, it is also suitable for buying.
In short, Tang Feng thought that this painting had great value-added potential and decided to buy it. He said, "I want this painting, how can I pay the bill?"
When the middle-aged man heard Tang Feng say he wanted to buy it, he immediately became energetic. He smiled and said, "Swipe the card and cash."
Tang Feng said: "Then let's swipe the card." The current bank card has no upper limit, which saves Tang Feng a lot of trouble. Therefore, the 1.6 million that has not yet been released in his card has become 120,000, and this investment still has considerable risks. However, compared with real estate and stock markets, the risk of art investment is much smaller, at least not affected by the financial crisis.
However, Tang Feng was not easy after making his first investment. He returned to his original form when he first arrived in the high-end market, and now he only has about 200,000 yuan left. In this way, he still needs to go to the low-end market to buy things. It is not enough to keep doing this.
Walking out of the Beijing Antique City, Su Qing waved to Tang Feng and said, "Mr. Tang, then goodbye."
"Yeah." Tang Feng nodded and said, "Goodbye."
Unlike Su Qing's simple farewell, Liu Yue formally extended her hand to Tang Feng and said, "Mr. Tang has a good vision, Liu Yue has received teaching."
Tang Feng smiled slightly and gently held her hand, saying, "You are kind to Miss Liu, I finally don't like me anymore."
Liu Yue said embarrassedly: "Where do you have it? Mr. Tang shouldn't always look back on the old calendar, okay?"
"Of course not." Tang Feng nodded.
"Oh, by the way." Liu Yue remembered something and said to Tang Feng: "The weekend is Zhu Ji's auction special. See you then."
Not only Liu Yue said that, Tang Feng almost forgot that he had a tablet entrusted to their house. If that tablet could be bought at a good price, he could continue to explore the high-end market.
After playing mahjong once, he was no longer interested in playing small mahjong. Tang Feng nodded and said, "Okay, see you then." After Liu Yue and Su Qing left, Tang Feng sighed. He felt that Chen Yan's proposal was very good, and it was time to do some business.
