As a collector, Yichu is also a well-known entrepreneur.
When Chen Jing was still in college, Yichu gave a speech at the university.
This old gentleman is not only good at business, but also very knowledgeable, especially in Chinese philosophy. Chen Jing listened to his speech and had a good impression of him.
Chen Jing stared at the "Picture of Ladies with Bananas" seriously. Mr. Yi Chu came over and said with a smile: "Young man, what do you think? Is this painting true or false? What do you think?"
Chen Jing smiled faintly and said: "Old sir, I don't study much about painting, but this painting has a natural setting, dignified layout, and graceful characters in the painting. It is indeed a masterpiece!" He coughed lightly.
Cough, said: "Someone just said that this painting can be painted by children at home who have just learned painting. I quite disagree. Whether this painting is true or false, it must be by a famous artist. There is no doubt about it!"
Yichu smiled and said nothing.
The host next to him said with great interest: "So sir, do you think it is authentic?"
Chen Jing said calmly: "I think it is an authentic work. This painting is very collectible!"
The host laughed and said into the microphone: "This gentleman believes that this painting is an authentic work. Well, I won't tell you the truth. I tell everyone truthfully that this painting is indeed an authentic work by Mr. Zhang Daqian, and it is Zhang Daqian.
One of the paintings with the highest artistic level in Mr. Wang's life.
And this painting has also been authenticated by four well-known domestic auction companies..."
The host clapped his hands and said: "Please submit the appraisal documents!"
The hostess brought the identification documents up on a tray, and the host took out the identification documents and circulated them one by one. Immediately, there was a commotion in the crowd.
Immediately afterwards, the host began to host the painting auction on the spot, and the low price of this painting was actually 1.2 million.
The host announced the lowest price. One after another, someone raised the price. Until it was around 1.8 million, the number of people raising placards began to become sparse.
Just when it was 1 million and 800 thousand for the second time, someone suddenly raised a sign from the bakery opposite. The big screen in the hall showed: "Two million yuan".
The host raised his voice and said: "Two million. Today we have a distinguished guest bidding two million. Is there anyone who wants to increase the price? Two million is the first time!"
"Two million times for the second time..."
Finally, the host pretended to knock the hammer and said: "Deal, two million, congratulations to the collector in the VIP box No. 1 for purchasing this "Panana Lady" that has been collected by Mr. Yichu for many years for two million.
."
In this way, a painting of "Lady Banana" found its owner, and Chen Jing breathed a sigh of relief.
Fang Wanqi tiptoed to Chen Jing's side, took his hand and said softly: "Hey, you really have some sense, you actually fell in love with this painting at a glance!"
Chen Jing frowned and turned around and said, "What were you doing sneakily just now? Do you have something going on?"
Fang Wanqi took his hand and said, "Come with me, let's go to the private room No. 1 where we just bought the painting."
Chen Jing followed Fang Wanqi with a suspicious look on his face and went straight to the mysterious private room area in the corner of the hall.
Fang Wanqi knocked on the door gently, and the private room door slowly opened. Zhu Cui stood at the door with a smile. Fang Wanqi said: "Hello Aunt Zhu!"
"Hello. Hello! It's rare for you to call me Aunt Zhu, but you never go home to play!" Zhu Cui said.
Chen Jing followed and called out: "Hello, Aunt Zhu!"
Zhu Cui looked Chen Jing up and down. He nodded and said, "Xiao Chen, I know you. You and Wan Qi are really talented and good-looking!"
Chen Jing was a little surprised. He didn't understand how the strange woman in front of him knew him. Fang Wanqi said in Chen Jing's ear: "Aunt Zhu is the wife of Governor Xu..."
Chen Jing immediately thought of Xu Ziqing, but the doubts in his heart did not diminish. Vice Governor Xu Ziqing was not familiar with him, and Aunt Zhu had no reason to know him.
Just when he was wondering, Fang Wanqi had already opened the door and walked in, pounced on another middle-aged woman in the private room like a little swallow.
"Mom, what a big deal, two million, is that one painting worth it?" Fang Wanqi joked.
Chen Jing was stunned for a moment, his brain suddenly short-circuited.
What is Fang Wanqi's name? "Mom?"
Chen Jing looked at the other party carefully. The age of the middle-aged woman could not be clearly seen, but she had a graceful demeanor. From her brows, she could vaguely see that she resembled Fang Wanqi.
Chen Jing pondered for a moment and said hurriedly: "Hello, aunt!"
Fang Wanqi turned back and grinned at Chen Jing: "You are so sweet-tongued. I was going to introduce you, but you spoke first!"
Fang Wanqi walked up to Chen Jing generously, took his arm and said to her mother Xu Lian: "Mom, this is Chen Jing, what do you think? She looks handsome! I have a good eye for your daughter!"
Xu Lian looked Chen Jing up and down with a smile on her face, but Chen Jing looked embarrassed and a little unnatural.
"Sit down, sit down! Xiao Chen, sit over here!" Zhu Cui came over and asked Chen Jing to take a seat.
After Chen Jing sat down, just a moment later, someone knocked on the door again and came in. The "Picture of Ladies with Banana" that Xu Lian had just bought was delivered to her.
Xu Lian held the painting in her hand, stared at Chen Jing and said, "Xiao Chen, do you know how to paint?"
Chen Jing shook his head and said: "I don't know much about it. I rarely get involved in this area. I just heard a little bit from others."
Xu Lian slowly opened the scroll on the table in the private room, gently touched the scroll with her hand, and said: "This painting is a treasure that Mr. Yi Chu has treasured for many years. He can take it out today and look at it."
My face is awarded to the highest bidder. Today’s painting is only two million, so it’s really worth it!”
Xu Lian admired this painting very much and was fascinated by it.
After a while, she suddenly turned to look at Chen Jing and said: "Xiao Chen, you can tell at a glance that this painting is not ordinary, which shows that you are quite discerning. Today is the first time I see you, and this painting is a meeting gift.
!”
Chen Jing turned pale in astonishment and said hurriedly: "Auntie, a gentleman does not take away someone's love. I can see that you particularly like this painting. Only in your hands can the value of this painting be reflected. I..."
Xu Lian stared at Chen Jing with a smile and interrupted Chen Jing: "Xiao Chen, I have heard the saying that a gentleman will not win the love of others, but for Wanqi's father, the one he loves most in the world is Wanqi.
.It’s the same for me, you have such great ability to let Wanqi follow you, but why don’t you have the courage to ask for a painting?”
Chen Jingdao: "Auntie, but this gift is... too expensive for me..."
Xu Lian smiled and said: "Is it very expensive? More expensive than Wanqi?"
Chen Jing was stunned and speechless. Fang Wanqi repeatedly signaled to him to stop talking and accepted the painting.
Chen Jing took a deep breath and nodded: "Okay, Auntie! I will accept this painting!" He paused and said: "As a return gift, I have nothing else to give you two. I was down there back then.
While working, I got a pot of orchid by chance. This pot of orchid is bordered by gold wire, has purple and red flowers, and has a quiet and elegant appearance. It is considered a rare plant.
I will send this basin to you later, I hope you and your uncle will like it!"
Chen Jing took the scroll in his hand, with an unchanging expression on his face.
Two million was too valuable for him, but Xu Lian could talk about it so much that he could only accept it.
And he did have a pot of orchids. This pot of orchids was obtained when he was in Lihe River. At that time, the Forestry Bureau confiscated a batch of orchids. Menghu saw an exotic plant in it and had someone plant it in a pot and give it to him.
Chen Jing.
Chen Jing had been taking care of this potted flower when he was in Lihe, but after he went to Degao, the potted plant stayed in Lihe.
But after Chen Jing was transferred to the provincial capital, the people from Lihe River sent this pot back. It turned out that they had taken this pot to experts, and orchid experts said it was worth a lot of money.
Therefore, the people below did not dare to keep the thing, saying that it belonged to Chen Jing, so they sent it over.
Chen Jing has always kept this basin at home. Today Xu Lian gave him a painting. He had nothing else to gain, so he could only give this basin away.
Xu Lian seemed quite satisfied with Chen Jing's feedback. She nodded and said, "Okay, I'll accept the gift you gave me. Your orchid must be good, I like it very much!"
She paused and said: "Xiao Chen, we meet for the first time today. We will have dinner together later. Your Aunt Zhu is treating us!"
Zhu Cui said with a smile: "Mr. Xu, please don't say whether you want to treat me or not. I'm very happy that my two children can come over. In the future, our art museum will welcome you to come more often. After all, "Panana Ladies" is hidden in
In the hands of two children, sometimes we want to enjoy it in our spare time!"
Xu Lian smiled and said: "What's the matter? Director Zhu is a little worried about this painting? I can tell you, I had to talk to Mr. Yichu for this painting before he was willing to take action. Mr. Yichu is much better at painting."
, if you want, you can also pick one!"
Zhu Cui waved her hand and said: "Okay, okay! Let's not talk about this anymore!"
She turned to look at Chen Jing and said with a rather solemn expression: "Xiao Chen, when you come to collect this painting, you must collect it carefully. Look at the paintings more often and understand the artistic conception in the paintings. This is very important to you all day long.
It is very beneficial for people who know how to work."
Chen Jing nodded repeatedly, and just at this moment, his cell phone rang at an inappropriate time.
Chen Jing's expression changed. Xu Lian waved her hand and said, "You answer the phone first!"
Chen Jing took out the phone, opened the private room door and went out before answering the phone.
As soon as the call was connected, Mi Qian's voice came from the other end of the phone. He said in a low voice: "It's Xiao Chen! Come to my office right away!"
Chen Jing was stunned for a moment and said: "Minister, is there anything urgent? I'm not in the ministry right now..."
"Then come back right away! The Provincial Party Committee has assigned a task. The situation is somewhat urgent and special. I want to have a serious chat with you. I'll give you forty minutes. Can you come back in time?" Mi Qian said loudly.
Chen Jing took a deep breath and looked back inside the box. After a long moment, he said, "Okay, I'll be back in half an hour!"
