Chapter 629 (1/2)

Qin Haodong said, ”if I use Picasso's paintings to exchange the bronze heads of the zodiac with Sir Owen, how many pieces does it take for him to accept?”

Mr. Qin, it seems that you still don't know how influential Picasso's works are in the world. Any one of these paintings in your hand will attract collectors all over the world.

Although Chinese antiques and works of art have appreciated rapidly in recent years, there is no comparability between them in the eyes of many collectors.

Sir Owen, in particular, has a large number of Chinese art and antiques in his warehouse. What is missing is Picasso, an art with strong international influence.

If you take these pictures in your hand and exchange them with him, maybe one or two of them will be exchanged with you. If you take out all four of them and put them together into a picture album, he will bring them to you in both hands, and maybe give you some other antiques. ”

”Really? You won't lie to me?”

Qin Haodong can't believe his ears. In his mind, the bronze head of the zodiac is priceless. That's why he painted 40 Picasso paintings at one go. I'm afraid he can't change it without it.

The field smiled bitterly and shook his head: ”Mr. Qin, how can I joke with you about this kind of thing.”

Zhang Chaohui said, ”Mr. Qin, don't be surprised. Maybe you're not familiar with the international market of art.

Although China has a long history and civilization, due to well-known reasons, more than 60% of the precious cultural relics have been lost overseas. This is an extremely large number, which is beyond people's imagination.

But foreign works of art are different. It may take 10 or even hundreds of years for them to have an artistic genius, such as Mozart, Leonardo da Vinci, Picasso and Van Gogh.

It is precisely because the quantity is scarce that things are scarce, which makes these works of art valuable. For example, Beethoven's handwritten staff once sold at an auction.

Because of the gap in quantity, it is very easy to find Chinese works of art in the international auction market, which can be seen anytime, anywhere.

But if you want to meet Picasso, Van Gogh's works are very difficult. Once the news of Picasso's paintings comes out at any auction, it will immediately attract countless collectors from all over the world.

With Sir Owen's financial resources and influence, he doesn't have a Picasso painting in his hand, which shows its rarity. ”

Qin Haodong said, ”I've long heard that monks from far away can chant scriptures. I didn't expect that works of art would be like this.”

In fact, it's not that Chinese antiques can't compare with foreign works of art. It's entirely a matter of quantity. After all, Chinese culture is too long and there are many outstanding talents, so there are naturally more antiques.

Another reason is the problem of human cognition. The influence of great artists such as Picasso and Van Gogh is global, and almost everyone knows their names.

In the early years of China, the policy of seclusion was implemented. Calligraphy and painting works are more in line with the aesthetics of our Chinese people, and it is difficult for westerners to appreciate and accept them. Therefore, there are many outstanding Chinese painters, but their influence in the world is less than that of Van Gogh and Leonardo da Vinci.

For those collectors, the market value of goods is not the most important. They pay more attention to the fame of works. In the eyes of some big collectors, 100 Chinese antiques may not be as good as one Picasso. ”

Zhang Chaohui said: ”in previous years, the price of Chinese antiques in the international market was not high, that is, it was only in recent years that they were fired by some international speculators and auction houses.

However, in the eyes of European and American collectors, the antique value of China can not be compared with Picasso's works. Among the ten most expensive paintings in the world, Picasso's works account for four, but there are no ancient Chinese paintings. ”

Zhang Tieniu listened for a long time and was shocked one after another. He couldn't help saying, ”just such a naked woman with drooping skin. I don't know what's good?”

The black line at one end of the field said, ”brother, this is called art.”

Qin Haodong said, ”please help me. Thank you.”

Then he waved his hand to Zhang Tieniu, who immediately gave two red envelopes prepared too early to the two people.

Tianye and Zhang Chaohui said, ”Mr. Qin, we should help you. Don't use this!”

Qin Haodong said, ”take it. It's a little fun because it's taken you so long.”

Tianye and Zhang Chaohui were no longer polite and accepted the red envelope directly. In fact, when they went out for identification in the past, they often met rich gold owners to give red envelopes.

The two men got out of the door and got into the car. Zhang Chaohui touched the red envelope and pinched it. It was thin. There didn't seem to be much money in it. He said, ”Mr. Qin seems to be too stingy.”

The field said, ”don't talk nonsense. Mr. Qin is a VIP of the old man. It's good to give a red envelope.”

Zhang Chaohui glanced: ”what are you afraid of? He can't hear it here. Rich people are so stingy...”

With that, he tore open the red envelope and found that it was not cash, but a check with a face value of 1 million.
