Chapter 1078

"In fact, I think it's understandable. Although the Weng family's collection of six generations makes its family works of art valuable, realistically speaking, the life of the Weng family's descendants in America is just an ordinary middle class. With such a big treasure, I think the descendants of Weng Wange must have their own thoughts.

Weng Wange wants to sell some of these national treasures to those museums in China. Unfortunately, it is said that he has contacted and sold some of them at a low price. However, those museums in China do not have so much funds and can't afford it for the time being.

The annual maintenance cost of these works of art is a lot, which makes it difficult for people to sustain after the Weng family. It is estimated that considering all aspects of the situation, the Weng family will make such a choice. "

"Hum..."

After all, the Weng family donated these treasures to American museums, which is naturally uncomfortable for Li Feng, who has a white skin and red heart.

For Li Feng's performance, Wang Siqing and Zhou Jiana, who are the people next to him, said they were speechless. For those who were deeply educated in the United States since childhood, the Weng family's choice is indisputable.

In fact, Li Feng didn't know that Weng Wange was actually a good man. From the previous Weng family to the time when Weng Wange was the master, the family collection was still in their own. Weng Wange sold more than 80 kinds of rare ancient books of song, yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, totaling more than 540 volumes, collected by his family around 2000 to the Museum of mordu for only $4.5 million.

Many of them are top-level cultural relics belonging to the "national treasure" level. Obviously, the price is very low, which is also the last wish of the old man. As for those moral kidnappers, it can only make people speechless to say that you simply donate all of them. After all, the descendants of the Weng family also have to eat. It is understandable that a family that is not a rich family can do this, After all, compared with the actual value of these works of art, $4.5 million really belongs to conscience.

......

To tell the truth, Weng Wange's descendants grew up in the United States after all. How can it be possible for Weng Wange's descendants to show their feelings like the old man.

In fact, the same is true. After Weng Wange completely retired and ignored the affairs of the world, the descendants of the Weng family "donated" the hundreds of precious works of art left by the Weng family to the Boston Art Museum. Later generations caused a sensation and great discussion.

In fact, this "donation" does not mean that the ownership is completely handed over to the museum. In fact, the real ownership belongs to the Weng family. Just like many previous donors, through the exhibition in the museum, we can receive a steady stream of wealth and leave it to future generations.

The "donation" incident of later generations, especially in the Chinese art circle and among the people, had a great impact. The descendants of the Weng family later donated to American museums instead of returning these precious works of art to China, which naturally aroused the anger of Chinese netizens and "angry youth".

Weng Wange, who made great contributions to the promotion of Chinese art and Chinese culture in the United States, was the chairman and founder of the China America Association.

"How much will it cost this time?" After listening to Zhou Jiana's explanation, Li Feng calmed down and then asked with a smile.

"Don't worry, Chinese art is not the mainstream in the United States, and its value is low. This time, a total of 150 works of art were purchased from Weng's house, all of which are genuine. According to the market valuation, the lowest is $100000 and the highest is only $5 million, with a total cost of $80 million.

Moreover, a museum in China contacted the Weng family before. It is said that this time, because we are willing to pay a high price for the acquisition, the Weng family is at least not "short of money". This time, Mr. Weng is forthright and directly decides to donate a batch of works of art to the museum in China, which is like the museum in magic capital, After all, old man Weng was born in Mordor and settled in Mordor when he was young. "

"Oh... Then we have done a good thing!"

“...”

......

"By the way, have you contacted the descendant of Picasso?" When it comes to art, Li Feng can't help but smile and ask.

"Ha ha... I've already contacted you. After you contacted me in London, I immediately called Malena Picasso. People are very interested in selling Picasso's works. I expressed the idea of a large number of acquisitions. Malena said it could be discussed."

"Hehe... I've heard that Picasso left hundreds of paintings and hundreds of sketch portraits, totaling more than 1000 works of art. This time it depends on how many Picasso paintings you can get from the descendants of Picasso."

"Well, I've heard of the descendant of Picasso before, but I haven't contacted him. This is an opportunity. Don't worry. Since people are willing to talk, I think we can get a lot of Picasso's art treasures this time. After all, there should be few customers like us. After all, Picasso's paintings are valuable, The average rich may not be able to afford it. "

"How are you going to talk?"

"I'm going to buy some paintings and some sketches. As for how much I can talk about, anyway, according to John, the more the better, isn't it?"

"Hehe... Naturally, the more the better, but we have to make a discount for such a large number of acquisitions!"

"Don't worry, it must be lower than the actual value. After all, if you really want to buy a large number of Picasso paintings at one time, the funds are astronomical. I think Malena will understand the truth. Few people in the world can take out such a large amount of cash at one time. Besides, Malena should also know that there are so many Picasso paintings at one time, Too many paintings will inevitably reduce the value of Picasso's paintings. She should understand the truth that rare things are expensive.

I think it's probably the main reason why Malena collects all the paintings left by her family. Of course, Malena, I have begun to collect her information and know this person.

To put it bluntly, she is not a collector at all. Only when she became a descendant of Picasso, she got such a treasure. In fact, she doesn't mind selling Picasso's paintings at all. If she wasn't worried that too many Picasso paintings would fall in price t at one time, it is estimated that he would have sold his paintings in large quantities. "

"Ha ha... There's no way. Reincarnation is a technical job. Who makes her the successor of Picasso's descendants? It's speechless to think about more than a thousand Picasso's paintings and sketches!" Li Feng couldn't help laughing and joking.

“...”

......

"John and Jiana, I think it's better to put these things away quickly. As for things, I'd better sit down and talk about them." At this time, Wang Siqing came over with a smile and said to them.

"Well, by the way, are these Weng's?" Looking at all kinds of calligraphy and painting works of art stacked together, Li Feng asked with a smile.

"Where, thanks to an Siyuan, we have recently acquired many Chinese art works, including a large number of treasures. If they can be called first-class cultural relics in China, that is, what ordinary people call 'national treasures', these are the credit of an Siyuan. He absolutely belongs to the top presence in the Chinese art trading market in the United States, and his contacts are really broad."

"Really, that's great."

"In addition to these Chinese works of art, there are also two paintings by Michelangelo and Raphael, two of the three heroes of the Renaissance. They are sketch portraits respectively, which were purchased by the collector after contacting me.

There is also a Rembrandt painting called the bust of a man with his hands on his hips. These three works of art alone cost more than US $30 million. It feels that Chinese works of art are cost-effective, and these works of art in Europe and America are still too high. " Zhou Jiana explained again with a smile.

"Sent it to the door?"

"Yes, now I'm famous in the world art market. Many people will contact my team if they want to sell treasures!" When Zhou Jiana heard Li Feng's words, she immediately replied complacently.

"Ha ha... Send it to the door. We don't refuse anyone. There is so much cash lying on our overseas account. Don't worry and take it boldly." Li Feng waved his big hand and immediately returned with great pride.

"Hehe..."

“...”

It has to be said that Li Feng was right to ask Zhou Jiana to set up a team specialized in the acquisition of antique works of art. Now Li Feng doesn't know how many kinds of antique works of art he has received. Anyway, there are many, including all kinds of high-quality works, such as the masterpieces of the three great Renaissance masters, Picasso, Van Gogh and other world-famous masters, There are really many masterpieces at home and abroad.

It can be said that Li Feng has gone farther and farther on the road of collection.
