Maybe the person who collected this painting was afraid that others would notice the treasure, so he specially scratched off the Ren Renfa seal on the second and third layers.
When it was picked up in the last life, many people argued about it for a long time, and finally it was determined that it was really the original work of Ren Renfa.
What's even more amazing is that another collector collected the first layer, which is also the layer with the thickest ink.
In order to restore the three floors, he spent a very high price to buy back the last two floors and finally combined them into one.
When Jiang Zhihao was 70 years old, the auction price of this painting exceeded 100 million, partly because it was an authentic work by Ren Renfa, and partly because of the story of the three-in-one painting.
However, Jiang Zhihao did not intend to keep this painting until he was seventy years old before selling it. What he wanted was capital utilization. During this period, giving him ten million would be enough to do business worth several hundred million.
On the way back, Tan Junda excitedly invited Jiang Zhihao to his home.
The visit is fake, but it is real to introduce this young hero to his father, and Tan Junda also needs someone to witness his majestic image at home.
Jiang Zhihao did not refuse. Having a good relationship with a catering tycoon with a net worth of over 100 million is quite useful at this stage.
But there is no time now. He must take "Zhang Guolao Meets the Ming Emperor Picture Scroll" to find a suitable buyer. Otherwise, he will have no money to buy the car in a week.
This matter is more important than going to Tan Junda's house for dinner, and it is urgent.
After sending Jiang Zhihao home, Tan Junda and Song Kanglai left.
Looking at the back of the man walking into the house from the car window, Song Kanglai said: "Young Master Tan, this Mr. Jiang is not simple. It is very important to have a good relationship with him."
Tan Junda chuckled and said, "You don't have to say that? By the way, you have to keep it a secret from my dad. When I sell everything and take the money home, I won't make the old man's jaw drop to the ground!"
Song Kanglai burst out laughing. The relationship between father and son is really hilarious.
After returning home, Jiang Zhihao put the scroll on the table, then took out his mobile phone and booked a high-speed rail ticket.
He had already made an idea in his mind about who to sell it to. Based on his experience in the previous life, the person who first pushed the price to tens of millions was a man named Huang Junmin. However, Jiang Zhihao had no intention of selling this painting to him, because
There is a more suitable candidate, and that is Mr. Jin Zhengqing, who holds the first layer of the genuine "Scroll of Zhang Guo's Meeting with Emperor Ming".
This old gentleman is a well-known calligrapher and painter, and an experienced collector.
The three-in-one painting "Zhang Guolao Meets the Ming Emperor" was painted by him. Unfortunately, the old man died early, and his children and grandchildren just wanted to exchange his collection for money, so they sold the painting early. Later I heard
The entire painting sold for 100 million, and many people laughed at their family.
The city where Jin Zhengqing is located is not far from the local area and can be reached in an hour and a half by high-speed train.
Jiang Zhihao carefully put the calligraphy and painting into his bag and headed to the high-speed rail station.
It was already evening when we left the venue, and it was eight o'clock in the evening when we arrived in the city where Jin Zhengqing was.
Jiang Zhihao found the community where Jin Zhengqing lived based on his memory. Unfortunately, the guard here was too strict and the owner had to confirm in person before he was allowed to enter.
Jiang Zhihao had no choice but to tell the doorman that he knew Mr. Jin Zhengqing and could call to verify.
The guard dialed Jin Zhengqing's phone number. After saying a few words, he handed over the phone and said, "Mr. Jin said he doesn't know you. You can speak for yourself."
