Chapter 34 "Ancient Trees and Strange Rocks"
Entering the antique shop, Huang Feiyang strolled around, stopping to look at the items.
He had absolutely no interest in things like vases or antiques.
Because he could tell that these things weren't very valuable.
Some of them are even counterfeit.
It's unclear whether the temple master was mistaken or did it intentionally.
Half an hour later, Huang Feiyang stopped in front of a traditional Chinese ink painting.
"Ancient Trees and Strange Rocks"
Or rather, "Strange Rocks"!
A work by the famous Su Shi!
Suddenly, Huang Feiyang's thoughts drifted back to some news reports from his past life.
In 2018, this painting fetched a record price of over HK$4 million at auction in Hong Kong.
But now, its price tag is only 300 million?
Tsk tsk tsk!
Moreover, Huang Feiyang could tell.
The painting in front of me is actually an original!
"This painting will do!"
"I want it!"
Looking at the middle-aged fat man, Huang Feiyang said calmly.
"you sure?"
Upon hearing Huang Feiyang's words, the middle-aged fat man was stunned.
You should know that this ink painting is priced at 300 million!
300 million yuan can buy several very nice apartments in downtown Beijing!
Is this the world of rich people?
Without even haggling, he asked for a landscape painting priced at 300 million?
The middle-aged fat man gave Huang Feiyang a deep look and muttered to himself.
"Of course!"
"Swipe your card!"
Shrugging, Huang Feiyang casually pulled a bank card out of his pocket.
"..."
Ten minutes later, the shop owner who sold the "Strange Rocks" painting was still a little dazed even after Huang Feiyang and his companion left.
A Chinese ink painting worth 300 million yuan was sold just like that?
Hahaha!
He couldn't help but burst into laughter once he could no longer see Huang Feiyang and the others' backs.
Make a lot of money!
Make a lot of money!
He only spent a few hundred thousand yuan to acquire this painting.
Moreover, he wasn't even sure if it was truly an authentic work by Su Shi.
He even had it tested, and some experts were unable to determine its authenticity.
This work is stylistically very different from Su Shi's other works.
More importantly, this work is perhaps too well preserved.
There are absolutely no flaws!
Moreover, it also comes with two postscripts.
This adds even more uncertainty.
As the saying goes, when something is abnormal, there must be something wrong!
In the words of those experts:
"This ink painting is very likely an authentic work by Su Shi. However, there is also a possibility that it is not!"
"Brother Feiyang, is this painting really worth 300 million?"
As they walked out of the antique shop, Yang Yiyi asked incredulously.
In her opinion, the painting was quite ordinary!
Although it is said to be by Su Shi, who knows if it is authentic?
"value!"
Without any hesitation, Huang Feiyang answered decisively.
"In another ten years or so, if it were auctioned off, it would be worth hundreds of millions!"
Then he added another sentence.
"Wow!"
Upon hearing Huang Feiyang's words, Yang Yiyi's eyes widened in surprise.
"so smart?"
Subconsciously, she said something.
"Ok!"
Huang Feiyang nodded slightly in response.
"Then, I'll return this painting to you! It's too valuable!"
Coming to her senses, Yang Yiyi handed the painting in her hand to Huang Feiyang.
Originally, she had already made an agreement with Huang Feiyang to take the painting as a loan of 300 million yuan from him.
But after Huang Feiyang said that, she felt that the painting was really too valuable.
She can't have it!
Seeing Yang Yiyi's serious expression, Huang Feiyang was taken aback for a moment, then took the painting without saying anything.
Since that's the case, let's keep this painting at home!
Huang Feiyang muttered to himself.
"..."
……
Not long after Huang Feiyang and his companion left, the middle-aged fat man's shop welcomed a new group of customers.
The leader was a middle-aged man with a dignified and imposing presence.
Beside him was a small old man wearing reading glasses and a Zhongshan suit.
"Fatty Yang, where's that 'Strange Rocks' painting?"
"Mr. Li wants it!"
Looking at the middle-aged fat man, the old man said with a smile.
"Old Cao!"
"I just sold that painting ten minutes ago!"
After a moment of surprise, the middle-aged fat man shrugged and said...
He was speechless.
I've had this painting in my shop for years, but no one has ever bought it.
How did it suddenly become so popular?
If I had known this would happen, I would have set a higher price.
Failed!
Suddenly, he began to regret it.
Did I price that painting too low?
Who bought it?
"Where are they?"
"We can buy it for double the price!"
The middle-aged man in a white suit next to Old Cao frowned and said.
Anxiety also showed on his face.
He has consulted with several top experts in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia to study the photos and videos of "Strange Rocks" from various angles.
They came to the same conclusion: this ink painting is an authentic work by Su Shi.
If it were auctioned now, it would easily fetch tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars.
If you let it sit for a few more years, its value might even increase!
This is not the point!
The key point is that the middle-aged person wants to buy this as a birthday gift for an elder.
That elder happened to be a huge fan of Su Shi's works.
This is a matter of his future and financial prospects.
Therefore, he had no choice but to be anxious!
"!"
Upon hearing the middle-aged man's words, the middle-aged fat man was immediately dumbfounded.
He was also filled with regret.
If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have sold it myself.
hateful!
In just a short while, I actually lost 300 million!
After hesitating for a moment, he still told the middle-aged man.
The one who bought the "Strange Rocks Painting" was a young boy.
Furthermore, he subtly offered a hint.
That boy's identity is probably not simple!
Upon hearing the middle-aged fat man's words, the middle-aged man and Old Cao exchanged a glance.
A teenager bought a painting for 300 million without batting an eye?
real or fake?
However, the middle-aged man did not take the fat middle-aged man's words to heart.
Is a teenager who spends millions really that impressive?
In Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, there are plenty of rich second-generation and third-generation heirs who can easily spend millions!
The only thing on his mind right now is to do whatever it takes.
We absolutely must obtain the "Strange Rocks Painting"!
When the time comes, I'll give this painting to that elder in Southeast Asia, and I'll surely rise to prominence.
What does it matter if you offend a mere rich kid?
Besides, who knows, maybe if I pay double the price or a little more, the other party will sell the painting to me?
In this way, he doesn't have to offend anyone.
Spending millions or tens of millions makes little difference to him; it's all insignificant!
After chatting for a few more minutes, the group hurriedly left the middle-aged fat man's shop.
Following the description given by the middle-aged fat man, they went everywhere to search for Huang Feiyang and his group.
