Chapter 923 Landscape Horizontal Axis
Listening to Ruan Kangde's explanation, it seems seamless.
Old Shen nodded with a smile, and said: "Sir Kant's words are very reasonable. There is a word in China called icing on the cake, and there is another word called sending charcoal in the snow. Everyone likes the icing on the cake, but they don't know that sending charcoal in the snow is more important." It is precious, Jazz's behavior is a timely help."
"Mr. Shen has won the award. I just hope that the concept of charity can be spread to the people, so that people all over the world can participate," Ruan Kangde said with a smile. The results, I just didn't expect, the Chinese people's support for charity really makes me very gratified."
Lin Mengjia pricked up her ears and listened to the conversation at this table, feeling a little more suspicious in her heart.
After being reminded by Gu Jiachen, she also suspected that Elder Shen had secretly colluded with Ruan Kangde, or in other words, had colluded with Taoism, and Chen Jianfei's question also made her a little strange.
However, she didn't have time to be too suspicious about such things, and the climax was soon set off again during the dinner party.
On the stage, two young girls dressed in ancient Chinese costumes came up pushing a wooden cart. The cart was covered with a piece of red cloth to cover the things underneath. Through the cloth, look at the The shape seems to be a long cylinder.
The host also came to the stage, with a smile on his face, and said: "Guests, Dr. Kant brought a collection for this dinner, and this collection will be auctioned on the spot right here and now, and all proceeds from the auction will be donated to foundation."
While speaking, the host smiled and made a gesture of invitation to the audience.
Ruan Kangde said "Young companion" to Mr. Shen and Tang Feng, and then walked up to the stage. Under everyone's curious and expectant eyes, he lifted the red cloth.
Under the red cloth is a scroll.
Ruan Kangde took the scroll out of the tray with both hands, and handed it to the two young girls dressed in ancient costumes, making them each hold one end and unfold it slowly.
What appeared in front of everyone was a landscape ink painting with a horizontal axis of more than four feet. The painting is of majestic and steep mountains. Majestic, vigorous and unrestrained brushstrokes.
Among the crowd, there was a voice of exclamation.
All the rich and powerful people present are there, naturally there are many refined scholars who like to collect this kind of calligraphy and painting, and they are also quite accomplished in this kind of identification. As soon as this painting is unfolded, many people have already recognized it.
They knew the value of this painting, which naturally caused a lot of discussion.
Ruan Kangde took the microphone from the host, and said with a smile: "Everyone, many friends must have recognized this painting. This is the landscape made by Tang Yin, a famous painter in the history of China. Because of some By chance, it was collected by me, and today, I will take it out as a lot for this charity dinner, to raise money for donations, and it can be regarded as a way to return it to China."
Many people are familiar with famous historical masters like Tang Yin, but more people know him for his flower and bird paintings of ladies. As everyone knows, he also has a lot of accomplishments in landscape paintings, with a handsome and beautiful style. Occupy a very important position in history.
At this moment, the horizontal axis of landscape displayed by Ruan Kangde was exiled overseas due to the war as early as a hundred years ago. It appeared in some overseas auctions back then, but it has been decades. , disappeared without a trace, and no one knew its whereabouts. It turned out that after repeated twists and turns, it was collected by Ruan Kangde in private.
The number of such works that can be preserved to this day is extremely limited, and such huge works can be regarded as national treasures.
In recent years, in China, both the government and the people have tried to take back these national treasures that have been strayed abroad. This kind of idea is very good, but it is extremely difficult to implement.
Although there may have been some shady means when these things flowed out of the Huaxia Kingdom, after several auction transactions, the owners who obtained them now all used legal means, so naturally they cannot be forced to hand them over.
Some people present thought that Ruan Kangde's fundraising in China was a gimmick. Although he came, they still had some doubts about his purpose. At this time, Ruan Kangde actually took out this landscape horizontal axis of Tang Yin. You can see his sincerity.
Not only the wealthy people present showed great interest in this, but even Mr. Shen showed a hint of surprise on his face.
When Tang Feng saw the look in his eyes, it wasn't a deliberate disguise, but it came from the heart.
Chen Jianfei's pupils dilated suddenly, showing a look of astonishment.
It can be seen that these two people are not aware of Ruan Kangde's behavior.
There was no such section in the program of the dinner before.
Seeing everyone present like this, Ruan Kangde smiled slightly, showing a bit of complacency in his smile, as if he was very satisfied with the reactions of the guests present.
Kong Qinghua said in shock: "It's really a big hand! This painting is probably sold for more than ten million in the market."
Shangguan's eyes were fixed on the painting, and he said in his mouth: "The value of this painting is not only in the price, Tang Yin's surviving works are not many overseas. According to the laws and regulations, it is impossible for domestic works to flow out of the country, but if they enter the Huaxia Kingdom outside the country, one piece will be returned, and one piece will be missing.”
"He's really willing to do it." Kong Qinghua still had a surprised expression on his face.
Lin Mengjia stared at the picture scroll, and after a long while, she turned her eyes to Tang Feng's direction. She saw Tang Feng squinting slightly, looking at the painting, looking thoughtful.
It can be seen that Tang Feng is very interested in this painting.
If Tang Feng likes it, he might as well take a picture of it and give it to him.
Kong Qinghua said just now that the market price of this painting is around ten million yuan. Although Lin Mengjia had prepared five million yuan for this dinner party, she could afford another five million yuan.
When Lin Mengjia was making such calculations, Kong Qinghua seemed to be talking to himself and said, "If this painting is auctioned on such a occasion, it will probably cost a lot of premium. I'm afraid it will double."
Lin Mengjia was stunned for a moment, and then realized that all the rich people in China present here, if some of them also took a fancy to this painting and kept raising the price, the final price of this painting would definitely exceed it. market price.
Thinking of this, Lin Mengjia couldn't help but smile.
But even so, she wanted to give it a try.
It was rare to have something that Tang Feng liked, so she tried every means to give it to him.
