- The two chatted for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, Schwarzman stood up, walked to the counter behind the table, pulled out a scroll tube, and handed it to Xiao Qi: "I didn't have anything before I came here. As a meeting gift, Mr. Xiao, do you like this?"
Xiao Qi, who knew the temper of Americans, was not polite. He reached out and took it, opened it, and poured out a simple framed scroll.
When you open it, you will see seven or eight beautiful pink lotus flowers, which appear so lifelike on the paper.
In addition to lotus flowers and large green leaves, there are also some small dragonflies and butterflies on the picture. The whole picture seems to be floating in front of you, very realistic and beautiful.
After opening it all and looking at it, Xiao Qi found that the size of the painting was actually five feet wide, making it a very large scroll.
As soon as he saw such a beautiful lotus, Xiao Qi thought of a person. When he looked at the lower right corner, it was written in small characters: "In the summer of 30th year of Dinghai, congratulations to brother Yuhu on his 60th birthday. May the pines and cypresses of my brother stay green forever and his life be blessed with longevity." Brother Yuan.¡±
Xiao Qi immediately laughed, "Thank you Mr. Schwartzman, I like this thing very much!"
¡°As long as you like it, that¡¯s fine!¡±
Schwartzman also laughed. He spent millions of dollars to get this from a wealthy man from mainland China who immigrated to the United States.
I heard that Chinese people love calligraphy and painting, and this painter is also Xiao Qi¡¯s hometown. Now that Xiao Qi likes it so much, it is naturally very worthwhile.
A valuable and thoughtful gift is suitable for this level of social interaction. The effectiveness of gifts is their greatest value.
Xiao Qi, who said goodbye and walked towards the Green Town community, looked at the painting tube in his hand and felt extremely satisfied.
Swartzman thought a million dollars was too expensive. But everyone knows that the value of this painting is far more than 1 million US dollars.
Because Xiao Qi knew that Zhang Daqian spent countless paintings in his life, but most of them were sold for money. Only the ones he gave to his friends were absolute masterpieces.
The difference here is usually very simple. It¡¯s not about the size of the painting, but Zhang Daqian¡¯s inscriptions and postscripts.
Paintings with names such as "Daqian Jushi", "Daqian", "Zhang Yuan", "xx Sui Yuan", etc. are usually sold for money.
If it is a painting with the words "Brother Zhang Yuan" written on it, it means that he gave it to a friend. If it is a simpler painting with the words "Brother Yuan" in Xiao Qi's hand, it proves that the other person is Zhang Daqian. Someone I truly respect.
As it happens, Xiao Qi knows a very famous story.
Generally speaking, Zhang Daqian likes gambling, but someone set him up to lose his family's most treasured book, the "Cao'e Monument" by Saint Wang Xizhi, and waited until his mother was critically ill. Suddenly mentioning that he wanted to see the "Cao'e Monument", Zhang Daqian, the filial son, felt as if he was struck by lightning, and almost committed suicide by throwing himself into the river without any regrets.
At that time, the person who set up a trap to deceive Zhang Daqian had already sold the "Cao'e Monument" at a high price. Zhang Daqian had no place to buy it back even if he had money!
So he could only lie and claim that he was in his apartment in Gusu. When he returned to Gusu in despair, he happened to meet two friends, Ye Gongchuo and Wang Qiumei, who came to inquire about the old lady's condition. Zhang Daqian told the matter in a hurry. . Ye Gongchuo laughed and said that I had just bought this inscription now.
Zhang Daqian was overjoyed when he saw this. But it was not easy to ask the price in person, so I could only wait until the two of them left, and then go to Wang Qiumei's house and ask Wang Qiumei to send a message, saying that he was willing to ask for the "Cao'e Monument" in three ways: the first was to ask for an increase in price. The second is to exchange his own collection of paintings. It doesn't matter how much Ye Gongchuo wants. The third thing is that if Ye Gongchuo really doesn't want to sell the painting, then please lend it to yourself for half a month. Once the old lady fulfills her wish, she will return it immediately.
Unexpectedly, Ye Gongchuo was extremely cheerful. He said that he never took advantage of others by chance, and never played with things to lose his spirit. Since this was a relic from the Great Qian ancestors, and the wife was seriously ill, she wanted to see it, so she must have returned it immediately. What other nonsense could she say about bartering?
It can be imagined how grateful Zhang Daqian was to Ye Gongchuo when he heard this and got the "Cao'e Monument" that Ye Gongchuo specially returned to the east to retrieve. He was almost seeing it as a lifesaver.
And Ye Gongchuo's nickname is "Jade Tiger". The 30th year of the Republic of China is 1941. Going back 60 years, it happens to be 1881. And the person named Yuhu who was born in this era was treated with humiliation by Zhang Daqian. The only person who can do this is Ye Gongchuo!
"To give a 60th birthday gift to his savior, do you think Zhang Daqian was careful or not?"
That must be one of the lotus pictures he was most proud of in his life!
Although Xiao Qi knows little about the world of calligraphy and painting, I don¡¯t know if Zhang Daqian really gave it away.I gave Ye Gongchuo a picture of lotus, but at least I knew that this picture was not fake.
Because Xiao Qi has a good eye for appreciation, even an outsider like him can see that this lotus painting is wonderful, so how could it be painted by a mediocre person? Unless this person also has Zhang Daqian's ability to imitate Shi Tao.
??It can be seen that this painting, let alone 1 million US dollars, plus the meaning contained in it, even 10 million US dollars is not a loss! ¡ª¡ªZhang Daqian¡¯s top ten paintings all exceeded the exchange rate of 10 million U.S. dollars at the time! The only No. 10 "Huangshan Wonderful Pine View" only sold for 40 million Hong Kong dollars, yes, but that was 1962! !
Xiao Qi didn¡¯t care about tens of millions or hundreds of millions of calligraphy and painting works, but he felt very happy after getting such a meaningful masterpiece.
Walking back to Jia Yuwen's apartment, Xiao Nizi happened to take a shower and hugged a pillow while watching TV. When she saw Xiao Qi coming back, the ethereal and tender little beauty rushed up and jumped into Xiao Qi's arms with a scent.
Xiao Qi held the painting tube between his arms, held his little wife's perky buttocks, and sat back on the sofa.
The little girl with the fragrance after bathing, her delicate skin can be broken by blowing, and it is full of water. She looks extremely soft. Coupled with the perfect figure, it is no wonder that the bodyguards said that she has become more and more beautiful recently. Many boys crowded towards her.
Some girls have been pampered by their families since childhood, and are easily deceived by boys when they go to college.
But Jia Yuwen is different from many girls, because Jia Yuwen has been an ugly duckling since she was a child. Until she was admitted to college at the age of 18, she was still a fat and ugly girl.
Xiao Qi was the only one who didn't care about her appearance and saved her life, allowing her to work hard and be truly proud.
How can a girl who has been looked down upon so much like this be attracted to boys who pay attention to her appearance?
Therefore, in Sichuan Music School, Jia Yuwen, who has gradually become the number one school beauty of Sichuan Music, is also known as "the most difficult familiar person to get close to" - everyone talks and laughs on weekdays, but once anyone feels that Jia Yuwen is kind to him, Even when he has the chance, he will definitely get the most cruel and ruthless rejection.
Only Xiao Qi can enjoy her tenderness and affection.
"Brother Qi, what are you holding?" Jia Yuwen obsessively scented Xiao Qi's face for a few times, then leaned sweetly into Xiao Qi's arms and asked curiously about the painting tube Xiao Qi put on the coffee table.
Xiao Qi smiled, stretched out his hand to unfold the lotus picture inside, and softly told Jia Yuwen how he got it and the story contained in the painting.
Jia Yuwen listened very carefully, and at the end she clicked her finger: "It turns out there is such a story in it! So, brother, are you going to do this with this painting?"
"I'll put it in our house!" Xiao Qi thought about it and said, "Go and frame it tomorrow and put it in the living room so that I can alert myself every day. First, I must learn from Mr. Ye's free and easy way. Secondly, don¡¯t be like Zhang Daqian, who is complacent with some achievements and indulges in gambling, but loses the most precious things.¡±
Jia Yuwen saw that Xiao Qi could understand so many truths from this incident, and she admired Xiao Qi even more in her heart. She felt that her brother Qi was great at everything, wise and smart, and he was like a god!
However, she shook her head: "I still don't want it. If I put this painting worth nearly 100 million yuan in my house, I won't be able to sleep all day long, for fear that others will steal it. Brother Qi, you better let it go." Go back to your villa."
"Well, you're right, it's not that safe here." Xiao Qi nodded, "Just put it in your villa in the third phase of Yulu Garden. The security measures there are trustworthy."
"But¡¡"
"It's nothing, just keep it for my son." Xiao Qi waved his big hand.
Jia Yuwen's delicate dimple immediately became red, and she looked so pretty. From then on, she never said "inappropriate" words again.
Because she is a bit weak by nature, Jia Yuwen has a good relationship with Tang Mingxiang and an even better relationship with Yu Shanshan, so she often receives calls from her two sisters.
During the chat, the two women talked to her from time to time about the troubles of not being able to conceive. Even she had been a little anxious recently. She had stepped up her exercise and ate some foreign nutrients that could help her get pregnant. However, Still nothing.
¡°But Jia Yuwen is more convinced than anyone else that she will definitely be pregnant with Brother Qi¡¯s child, because Brother Qi is such a good person, how could he have no offspring?
Of course, this also requires her to work harder. For this reason, Jia Yuwen has secretly read a few books with pictures and texts recently. God knows how shy she is.What~~
"Brother Qi~~" After thinking about it, the little girl not only blushed, but also her pink neck, "It's getting late~~"
"Oh yes!"
Xiao Qi reacted immediately and kissed his little wife in his arms: "Baby, let Brother Qi take care of you and go to bed!"
¡°Giggle~~¡±
Amidst Jia Yuwen¡¯s sweet laughter, she was already carried into the room by Xiao Qi (To be continued) - Didn't finish reading?
