After searching online, Chen Zhao found a famous and very reliable auction house. After some communication, he agreed to come to his house tomorrow.

When communicating, he said that he had a group of masters of calligraphy and painting from the Song and Yuan dynasties, so he asked them to find some appraisers who were familiar with this field.

The next day, Chen Zhao packed up and wore clothes that he bought for a lot of money. He came to the auction house. After reporting his name, he waited for another hour before someone was invited into it.

Chen Zhao understood that this was them testing themselves.

After all, I am an unknown person and have works of famous masters from generation to generation. I definitely want to sell them at a good price. These people want to use this psychological tactic to keep the price down.

Of course, this is also a different tactic for different people.

Chen Zhao read 20,000 books in the library of the 702nd Regiment, but he still has some experience.

After entering, a gentle middle-aged man with glasses came over and exchanged a few greetings. Chen Zhao knew that the other party was an executive of the auction house and the director of the art collection department.

The two talked for a few words, and the director felt that the guest had a calm expression and a calm temperament. He could not see the sharpness in his words, so he could only say the main topic: "What are Mr. Chen going to shoot this time?"

"Some calligraphy and painting works by famous Song and Yuan dynasties." Chen Zhao opened the box he carried with him, put on gloves and solemnly lit up the selected collection.

"Hey! This one seems to be a work by Huang Gongwang. A few years ago, a photo of Huang Gongwang's light-crystal landscape vertical scroll colored paper work was auctioned at a high price of 34.3 million yuan!" When the calligraphy and painting appraiser next to him saw it, his eyes had already shined with stars and he spoke.

Huang Gongwang is one of the four Yuan dynasties. "Fuchun Mountain Residence" is his work. If it is really his work, it will not be in vain.

He took out the magnifying glass, put on gloves, and carefully identified it. After watching it for an hour, he stood up with an unfulfilled feeling and sighed: "This is his original work!" Then he looked at Chen Zhao: "Mr. Chen, with the name Huang Gongwang alone, this painting is amazing!"

Chen Zhao smiled faintly: "I have works by Ni Zan, Wang Meng, and Wu Zhen here, and there are copybooks and paintings. Please take a look..."

"Good guy! You have collected all the works of the Yuan Sijia!" The appraiser was startled.

The director was also shocked.

Could it be that he made it in a workshop assembly line to make the fake ones real?

He didn't dare to neglect it, so he quickly called and contacted several appraisers. Everyone studied it carefully for a long time and finally determined that it was all authentic.

After all, the style of the works of the four Yuan schools is very representative and cannot be easily imitated.

"Mr. Chen, it turns out that you are a collector. I'm so disrespectful." The appraisers were so excited that their hands were trembling when they opened the appraisal book to sign the appraisal book.

Excited!

How long has the works of the Yuan Four companies not appeared on the market?

You should know that the four Yuan dynasties are all calligraphers and painters at the level of masters. Each person’s work is worth an auction.

If the Yuan and the Four Yuan companies came together, they would have an unprecedented scale and caused a sensation in the entire auction house and might be able to sell at a sky-high price.

In addition, these appraisers are not free to help identify the items. They have always charged a proportional fee based on the value of the items. No matter how they calculate it, the business is too cost-effective, and they can eat it for several years.

The director was so excited that he could not help but gather all the works of the Yuan Dynasty to hold a special auction, his reputation in this industry would definitely reach a new level.

So he had only one thought in his mind, that is, no matter what, he would ask Chen Zhao to hand over these works to their auction house for operation.

"Mr. Chen, if you have collected all the works of the four Yuan companies and held a special auction, it will definitely cause a great sensation and even be able to sell sky-high works. Our auction is strong and guaranteed to be very satisfied."

"How much are these works worth?" Chen Zhao suppressed his excitement, his face still calm like a poker face.

"Conservatively estimated, it should be between 600 million and 800 million. You should know that two years ago, Wu Zhen's "Hearing the Rain Picture of the Mountain Window" started at 60 million, and finally sold at 172.5 million. You are a special auction, which is very sensational, and the auction price will not be lower than this price."

"I have a few paintings from the Yuan Dynasty. The painter doesn't seem to be very famous, and my capital has not been able to turn over recently." Chen Zhao changed his mind and said something else.

The director immediately understood and immediately said, "These appraisers are here. As long as they are identified as authentic, they are indeed works of the Yuan Dynasty. The quality of the paintings is good. We can help you trade privately. If you trade privately, the price will be lower, but the corresponding handling fee will be less. The money you get is not very different from the auction."

"Okay, then I'll ask a few experts to verify it."

When several appraisers heard that he had something, they immediately became energetic and surrounded them. Looking at the paintings he took out, their eyes widened.

"Looking at the style of painting, it seems to be the work of a calligrapher of the Yuan Dynasty... I remember that this painting was mentioned in his travel notes..."

"This style and strokes are continuous and completed in one go. Isn't this the work of a Southern Song painter...? His seal..."

"This painting has a majestic and profound style, which is completely in line with the characteristics of the painter..."

These appraisers nodded with satisfaction and were eliminated very happily in the appraisal document that complies with the law.

Not only did they have seen so many famous works of famous artists, but they also witnessed some works of ancient painters that were not famous, and this trip was worthy of its reputation.

In addition, they can make a lot of profits from the appraisal of works, and of course they feel happy.

As noon approached, the director invited everyone to dinner and said after coming back: "Mr. Chen, as long as you are willing, we will soon... At the latest tomorrow, we will contact you with the buyers of these paintings. According to past experience, these works can be sold for 30 to 50 million. What do you think you are planning to deal with?"

"Private transactions are fine." Chen Zhao's tone was very calm.

Obviously, he wanted to sell these unknown works first, and then auction the masterpieces of the Yuan and Four families.

Of course, the director understood that after selling these works, Chen Zhao would hand over the masterpieces of the four Yuan families to them for operation.

So he immediately patted his chest: "Okay, let me leave this matter."

He is worthy of being an executive of a first-class auction house in the industry. The next day, the director recruited several buyers who prefer this collection for Chen Zhao. After the appraiser they invited passed the appraisal, he would divide the one by one. In addition to the handling fees and taxes, Chen Zhao got more than 54 million, which was more than expected.
