Chapter 815

"Robert Hatfield Ellsworth, who is this?" Li Feng asked suspiciously.

Opened the invitation and looked at the name of the owner of the invitation. Li Feng was confused. He was really ignorant and had never heard of the name.

"John, this New York collector is also an antique dealer and Huaxia Tong. His apartment next to Manhattan's Central Park is called the 'Asian Art Museum'. He also has many titles, such as' art emperor of the Ming Dynasty and godfather of Chinese antiques'. He is well-known in the collection industry. He also has a unique Chinese name - an Siyuan."

Seeing Li Feng's puzzled look, Zhou Jiana couldn't help explaining with a smile. With Zhou Jiana's simple explanation, Li Feng's interest in the Yankee named an Siyuan increased greatly. Li Feng really didn't expect that there were such people in the United States who were so obsessed with Chinese antique art.

"Jiana, you said he was an antique dealer?"

Li Feng thought of Zhou Jiana's introduction to an Siyuan, saying that he was an antique dealer and collector. Only then did he realize what he was doing and asked with a smile.

"Yes, although an Siyuan is a famous collector, he is first of all an antique dealer. He has a famous saying that there are no non-sale products for antique works of art. Even if there are, it has not reached the price."

"Really, so... Does he have a lot of collections?"

"John, Ann Siyuan has a good relationship with my father. I have known him since I was a child. There are more than a thousand antique works of art from all over the world displayed in his home. Maybe only he knows the specific number, which is comparable to a small museum.

As for its value, according to the estimates of some financial magazines, art companies, auction houses and other professional institutions, the overall valuation will not be less than US $50 million, mainly because his works of art are works of art from all over Asia, including China, India and other places, which leads to its low commercial value. "

……

After listening to Zhou Jiana's introduction to the foreigner named an Siyuan, Li Feng's interest increased greatly. I have to say that Li Feng, an ordinary person in his previous life, is very strange to an Siyuan. Unfortunately, Li Feng is not a collector. If he is a collector, he will understand who an Siyuan is.

In Europe and America, there are also special collectors and antique dealers who collect Chinese cultural relics. There are many collectors with names in future generations, among which the Italian Antique Dealers Josep eskennatz and an Siyuan are the most famous.

Ann Siyuan said nothing. It is said that after his death, his leftover antiques were auctioned by fosubi for seven days without first-class auction. The transaction price of later generations exceeded US $140 million, and finally became the charity fund of his Ann Siyuan charity foundation.

An Siyuan is a childless person. His charitable foundation is really a pure charitable foundation. People may want to leave a name after death. People like an Siyuan are no exception. I hope future generations can remember themselves and set up a personal named foundation.

As for Josep, the famous ones in later China, such as the yuan blue and white pot - Ghost Valley downhill, are all the sky high prices he made. Most people may not have heard of Josep's name, but almost everyone in China is familiar with the yuan blue and white pot - Ghost Valley downhill.

Josep family is engaged in the antique business. It is a world-famous antique dealer family. It can be said that Josep represents the whole family behind him. Naturally, no one knows how many cultural relics and works of art his family has collected all over the world. However, he has managed antiques for generations.

"Jiana, you've been wandering around auction houses and collectors all over the world this year. What else do you have besides these gains?"

Li Feng found that his collection room was almost full. Obviously, Zhou Jiana's harvest of art was far more than that without his knowledge. He asked curiously.

……

"Hey, hey... Come here and have a look. This is my harvest at the two auction houses of Christie's and fusubi in Xiangjiang. All of them are treasures of official kilns of the third generation of the Qing Dynasty.

There are Qing Yongzheng pastel wall branch bat peach pattern plate (HK $15.5 million), Qing Qianlong enamel yellow ground open Rouge landscape pattern bowl (HK $22 million), Qing Qianlong Enamel Flower pheasant poem gall bottle (HK $10 million), Qing Qianlong pastel nine peach pattern celestial ball bottle (HK $9 million).

I got all these things after I beat Josep eskennatz, an Italian antique dealer, and they cost a lot. "

"Oh... This is the genuine official kiln of the third generation of Qing Dynasty. Let me see..." Seeing Zhou Jiana introducing several pieces of Chinese porcelain, Li Feng said to himself curiously.

Even an outsider like Li Feng has heard of the official kilns of the three generations of the Qing Dynasty. After all, with the rise of the collection craze in China, the news about art collection can always be seen and heard in the media and television, and the exquisite official kilns of the three generations of the Qing Dynasty are always one of the representatives of Chinese porcelain.

At this time, Li Feng's grandparents were very happy, especially for collecting these Chinese art treasures. They agreed with Li Feng and Zhou Jiana one after another, saying that they should collect more in the future.

"John, you don't know, because Joseph and I sold high prices at the two auction houses in Xiangjiang because of the competition of Chinese porcelain. This year, among the auction houses around the world, Chinese art rose by 20-30%, of which Chinese porcelain was the most."

"It was this bowl that sold for HK $22 million?" At this time, Wang Siqing stood in front of a large bowl with red landscape painting and yellow isolation.

Obviously, Wang Siqing is wondering that such a porcelain bowl is worth nearly $3 million. He may still be wondering where it can be worth $3 million.

"Yes, this is a fine product of the three generations of official kilns in the Qing Dynasty. In fact, this year, I and some art collectors raided Chinese porcelain art in major auction houses, resulting in a lot of price increases. Let's say this big bowl. Up to now, someone has bid for HK $30 million."

Seeing Wang Siqing wondering, Zhou Jiana smiled and interposed.

"That is to say, the price of this bowl has increased now. If it is sold, it can earn millions or nearly ten million Hong Kong dollars?"

"Ha ha... That's true."

“…”

After listening to Zhou Jiana's explanation, except Li Feng, the others were speechless for a while. The money is too easy to earn. Just buy it this year and the price will rise by nearly one million dollars by the end of the year. No wonder they say that the richer people are, the easier it is to make money.

……

"Xiao Feng, you bought these works of art for collection, right?"

It's been an hour since I walked around the collection room, which opened Li Feng and everyone's eyes. Li Feng's grandfather suddenly asked with a suspicious face.

"Yes, Grandpa, which big family do you think doesn't have such a thing? The rich are keen on collection. In fact, this is a way to transfer wealth and increase family heritage.

You see, the total cost of works of art in this secret room is more than 150 million US dollars, but now these works of art are definitely worth more than 300 million US dollars, especially this Leonardo da Vinci's savior oil painting, which is almost double. " Li Feng smiled at the crowd.

"Yes, but Xiao Feng, I want to ask you, do you have any other ideas about these Chinese works of art?"

"Well... Grandpa, do you want to say...?"

"I think you can collect all these Chinese works of art in your homes in China. First, these works of art are back in China. Second, in fact, they are back in China, which is also helpful for your future career in China."

"Hehe... Well, Grandpa, this is actually in my plan. When I finish the quadrangle in the capital of China, I will put many of these Chinese works of art there except some. Fortunately, most of the Chinese works of art are not allowed to leave the country except a few."

"Well, it's best for you to have such an idea. You also have half Chinese blood. Now you don't need money. It's a contribution to the return of Chinese art."

The old man is also an old intellectual in China. He has some thoughts and specially reminded Li Feng.

"Don't worry, Grandpa, I know." Li Feng replied with a smile.

……

As a former Chinese, although not engaged in antique works of art, every time I saw and heard the news of Chinese works of art in European and American auction houses in my previous life, it was always accompanied by all kinds of depression in the domestic media, especially the most famous 12 zodiac.

Li Feng doesn't mind if he can do something within his ability. Moreover, when all aspects of China rise in the future, Li Feng can still get a good reputation for China for himself. Why not.
