Chapter 71 Private Collections
The loud noise alarmed the people in the whole house. They thought they had encountered an earthquake, and rushed out of the building in groups, looking for a safe place of refuge. One of them, a fat middle-aged man, under the protection of five bodyguards, ran out of the living room panting, but his expression was quite calm.
The middle-aged man who accompanied Zhang Jun heard the news through the earphones, his face changed, and he said angrily: "Nonsense, where did the earthquake come from? Don't panic, protect the master!"
After finishing speaking, he had no time to say hello to Zhang Jun and the others, so he hurried back, leaving Professor Guo and the three of them staring at each other, and then all shot at Zhang Jun.
At this time, Zhang Jun saw the desired result, so he stopped the tamping machine and called Liu Ziguang and others to go back. Both Liu Ziguang and Liu Ling showed strange expressions, and murmured in their hearts, could the movement just now have something to do with Zhang Jun?
Professor Guo was also surprised. While walking back, he thought for a long time before asking, "Resonance?"
Zhang Junxin said that he was worthy of being a university professor with a wide range of knowledge, so he nodded with a smile.
Professor Guo was even more puzzled, thinking: "How did he know the natural frequency of the building? Is it a coincidence?"
When a few people walked to the front of the small building, the fat middle-aged man was staring at the door with a gloomy expression. Liu Ziguang laughed loudly, took two quick steps, and said, "Naturally, if it wasn't for the earthquake just now, wouldn't you still refuse to come out to see me?"
When Yang Tiansheng turned his face away, he had put on a seemingly sincere smile, went up and held Liu Ziguang's hand tightly, and said, "Oh, Ziguang, when did you come here? Why didn't you notify me? Even if No matter how busy things are, I will come out to see you as soon as possible."
Liu Ziguang actually informed Yang Tiansheng a long time ago, but he didn't mention it at this time. He just smiled and said, "It's okay, my family is welcome."
Yang Tiansheng repeatedly said yes, and then turned to scold the middle-aged man who looked like a butler angrily: "Butler Tie, what did you do, why don't you tell me when Ziguang is here?"
The iron steward immediately lowered his head, and said with trepidation: "The master was involved in official business at the time, so I decided not to bother him. I ask the master to punish me."
"Okay, okay." Liu Ziguang said, "I said it's okay, so don't make things difficult for Butler Tie."
Yang Tiansheng reprimanded him a few more times, then turned his attention to Professor Guo and Zhang Jun, and said with a smile, "Ziguang, who are these two you brought?"
"Oh, they are Mr. Zhang and Professor Guo, both professionals of the auction company. I came with me this time to verify whether "Ten Thousand Rivers and Thousand Mountains" is authentic, so as to prepare for the auction." Liu Ziguang said.
An imperceptible coldness flashed in Yang Tiansheng's eyes, then he laughed "haha", and said to Liu Ziguang, "Ziguang, after all these years, you still don't trust people so much, are you afraid that I will subvert your painting? "
"Tiansheng, you are joking, how can I not believe you? They are from the auction company, and they happened to come over with me to look at things. After seeing them, they will directly take the painting to the auction house for auction." Liu Ziguang smiled explain.
Yang Tiansheng didn't get entangled in this matter either, he laughed "hehe" and said, "Ziguang, just say no on the phone. I will send someone to send the painting over, so you don't need to go there yourself."
Both of them had smiles on their faces when they talked, which reminded Zhang Jun of the idiom "mouth with honey and belly with sword", and his understanding of Liu Ziguang deepened.
Without saying a few words, Yang Tiansheng invited Liu Ziguang to another living room. After the two parties sat down, he asked someone to take out the painting. This is a 30-foot-long scroll, more than three feet wide. There are many mountains and rivers in the painting, as if there is a majestic breath rushing towards the face.
Even if Zhang Jun has never seen Mr. Wu's work, he can still conclude that this painting is genuine. Professor Guo stepped forward to watch for a while, nodded repeatedly, and said, "This painting is right, and only Mr. Wu has such profound skills and unique ink-splashing techniques."
Seeing that the thing was real, Liu Ziguang smiled even more, and said, "Naturally, I'm short on money recently, so I have no choice but to auction this painting in exchange for some pocket money."
Yang Tiansheng smiled and said, "Ziguang, didn't you tell me earlier about using the money? In a word, three to five hundred million is not a problem."
"Oh, you are born to be a businessman, and you spend more money than I do. How can I have the heart to bother you?" Liu Ziguang said very sincerely.
After talking a few useless nonsense, Yang Tiansheng suddenly said to Zhang Jun and Professor Guo: "Since you two are experts in the auction house, you must have superb eyesight. I have collected a lot of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign literature, calligraphy and paintings, and I would like to invite you Give palm palm eye?"
Professor Guo glanced at Zhang Jun, who said indifferently: "Yes, this is also an opportunity for us to learn more, thank you, Mr. Yang."
Yang Tiansheng personally led the way and invited several people to his collection hall. The security measures of the collection hall are very strict, and the outside is a high-tech protective wall and coded lock. There is an infrared barrier in the middle, once triggered, the intruder will be closed directly and an alarm will be issued. The last floor is artificial defense, where ten sturdy and tall people guard there, working in 24-hour shifts.
After finally entering the collection hall, Zhang Jun found that it covers an area of four to five hundred square meters, divided into several districts, some of which are placed with porcelain, some with jade, and some with bronze, etc.
As soon as he entered this collection hall, Zhang Jun's perspective ability keenly captured many ancient or modern atmospheres, which put him in many cultural backgrounds and historical atmospheres.
Professor Guo opened his eyes wide and kept admiring.
"This is Ge Kiln porcelain, so exquisitely made, it's rare!"
"Hey? There are Tang Bohu's paintings!"
Liu Ziguang's father and daughter were also secretly shocked, thinking that if the things in this museum were sold, they would be worth tens of billions at least, right?
Zhang Jun walked very quickly, and he could immediately tell whether something was real or not by looking at it. His intuitive judgment can only be touched by those antiques in their later years, but it is only superficial, far less subtle and miraculous than his.
In about half an hour, he had gone through the entire collection, and found that 50% of the things in it were genuine, and the rest were high imitations, which were easy to catch people's eyes.
On the other side, Professor Guo and others didn't even see a tenth of it, and they were still savoring it carefully and pondering it slowly.
Seeing Zhang Jun walking so fast, Yang Tiansheng thought he was just Professor Guo's follower, a layman, so he came over and said with a smile, "Brother, what do you think of my things?"
Zhang Jun was observing a bronze Avalokitesvara, he was fascinated by it, and replied casually: "It's not bad, half of it is true."
Yang Tiansheng couldn't hide his shock, and shouted, "What did you say?"
He has loved collecting all his life, not only has his own unique vision, but he has already invited many real experts to look at these things, and thinks that about half of them are genuine. For this result, he is actually very satisfied.
We must know that today's collectors are too impetuous. For collectors, it is not bad to have a few authentic items in a hundred collections. I don't know how many people have been taken advantage of, and spent countless money to buy a whole house of imitations.
Zhang Jun ignored his reaction and looked at the Guanyin statue thoughtfully. This statue of Avalokitesvara is dressed in heavenly clothes, with feet on lotus leaves and hands crossed, which has a special charm.
Under the perspective, he could see a faint golden light behind the Guanyin bronze statue, and it was this golden light that attracted him. Just as he was in shock, a ray of golden light suddenly shot out from his left eye, hitting the circle of golden light.
Immediately, the faint golden circle of light melted into the golden light and returned to his left eye. Suddenly, a comfortable warmth filled his whole body, and he let out a long sigh.
Seeing that Zhang Jun was in a daze, Yang Tiansheng coughed and said, "This is the only one of the thirty-three Dharma signs of Guanyin, what do you see?"
Zhang Jun came back to his senses, and thought: "The golden light behind the Guanyin statue seems to be absorbed by the left eye, what's going on?"
In a flash, he turned to Yang Tiansheng and said, "So it's Buer Guanyin."
Yang Tiansheng hurriedly said: "You just said that only half of what I have here is true?"
Only then did Zhang Jun remember that he just casually replied, thinking that if I said I could see it, you would not believe me. He said: "I randomly sampled and inspected more than a dozen things, and found that half of them are real, so I deduce that half of Mr. Yang's things are real."
After hearing this, Yang Tiansheng had to re-examine Zhang Jun, thinking that although this person is young, his eyesight is indeed very accurate, he smiled "haha" and said: "Really? It seems that my eyesight is still not good, unexpectedly Received half of the fakes."
Zhang Jundao: "This is already very remarkable."
It took more than an hour to visit the museum. After he came out, Yang Tiansheng wanted to keep a few people for dinner, but Liu Ziguang refused, saying that he still had important things to do and would not bother him anymore. Before leaving, Yang Tiansheng left Zhang Jun's phone number and said that he would get closer in the future.
Zhang Jun could see that this Yang Tiansheng regarded him as an expert, and there must be something to borrow from him in the future, and he did not refuse. Because in the other party's private collection, there are a few good things that look like fakes but are actually genuine, and he is going to get them.
Today's timing is not right, if he speaks hastily, it will definitely attract Yang Tiansheng's attention, so he can only endure it and slowly look for opportunities in the future. He secretly estimated that those few things were no worse than Xuande's three-year copper incense burner.
Leaving Yang Tiansheng's courtyard, Liu Ziguang said, "If I hadn't brought you here today, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to get the real painting."
Zhang Jun said, "Oh? How should I say it?"
Liu Ziguang sneered: "Among the people who ran out of the house just now, I saw two old acquaintances. These two people are famous contemporary calligraphers and painters, and even masters in imitating ancient calligraphy and paintings. The two of them don't come early or late , it happened to be at this time, don't you think it's too coincidental?"
Professor Guo nodded: "I also met those two people once, but I can't confirm it. After hearing what you said, I'm 100% sure."
Zhang Jun shook his head: "This Yang Tiansheng really has no moral bottom line, and he can do this kind of thing."
