Ye Mei really wanted to know how much money a painting could be worth, after all, it invested so much one million. If she had given her ability to give her ten years, she would not have made so much money.

"Brother Hu, Tang Bohu's paintings should be very valuable, right?" she asked.

After all, a painter with such a great reputation is scary just because of Tang Bohu, okay?

Qi Hongye couldn't help but say, "It must be valuable! The most expensive painting in China should be Tang Bohu's paintings? It is said that I have taken more than 3 billion yuan, and I forgot what it is."

Even Andy Lau took a breath, more than 3 billion? Are you serious?

Not to mention Ye Mei, she was stunned.

Hu Yang shook his head and saw someone discussing the live broadcast room, so he exposed the lie: "On the Internet, Tang Yin's "Lushan Waterfall Viewing" filmed 3.6 billion yuan, but it was actually a rumor, and there was no such thing at all.

In fact, Tang Bohu's most expensive paintings are less than 100 million.

When we were auctioned in China, the most expensive painting was Qi Baishi's "Twelve Landscape Screens". It was a national treasure-level artistic treasure, which was sold at a sky-high price of more than 900 million yuan, and also set a new record of Chinese paintings."

Of course, it cannot be said that the most precious painting in China is Qi Baishi's "Twelve Landscape Screens". Like "Along the River During the Qingming Festival", etc., it is definitely more precious than "Twelve Landscape Screens", but how can those national treasure-level cultural relics be auctioned? Even for exhibitions, you have to be careful.

The audience in the live broadcast room was also in an uproar, but it was not expected that it was fake news? But as long as Tang Bohu’s most expensive paintings were searched on the Internet, a 3.6 billion-yuan "Lushan Waterfall Viewing Picture" would pop up.

"In the history of world auctions, the most expensive painting is Leonardo da Vinci's "The Savior", which sold 450 million US dollars. It was sold for RMB 27, 28 billion, and it did not reach 3 billion! So, you can imagine whether this news is true or false.

Of course, it’s not that I belittled my country’s painting art. But internationally, Western works are still the mainstream. We must admit this.” Huyang said to everyone.

It is said that the family of the collector who first collected this "Savior" sold it for £45, and I don't know if he regrets it now.

Ye Mei still let out a heavy sigh. Even so, a painting is almost 900 million, which is also very scary. How much money can an ordinary person make in his life? It’s not a lot if ten million is not? It still takes nearly one hundred people to spend their lives to buy a painting together. It’s incredible.

Hu Yang continued: "As for this painting, its reputation is not obvious, I have to ask President Fang and others to see if they can find some information about this painting. However, I can be sure that this painting is of medium to upper level among many works by Tang Yin, and a million should not be a problem."

Ye Mei didn't know what to say. She made almost tens of millions in just one morning, or less than one morning. Who can I ask for advice?

Many people who open factories, but if they are smaller, they probably don’t have that much net profit in a year.

No wonder, last night, Shizi told her that Brother Hu didn't take one million or hundreds of thousands seriously, so he was too lazy to pick up tens of thousands of dollars, and usually he gave it to the people around him to get the bargain.

It seems that this is correct. If she had the ability of Brother Hu, she might not look down on things worth tens of thousands of yuan.

She admired how Brother Hu easily concluded that this is true? I have to say that this vision of discovering treasures is really easy to make money.

At this time, Brother Hu continued to give advice: "Did you see this seal? Liang Qingbiao, a very famous collector and appraiser in the Qing Dynasty. His seal also provides strong evidence for this work."

He told everyone that Liang Qingbiao was one of the most important collectors in the Qing Dynasty. How big are they?

It is said that he collected more than 600 rare national treasures of calligraphy and painting in his life. For example, Lu Ji's "Pingfu Tie" in the Jin Dynasty, Wang Xizhi's "Lanting Preface" (Zhang Jinjienu's version), Du Mu's "Zhang Haohao Poems" in the Tang Dynasty, Yan Zhenqing's "Self-written and Announcement" and "Zhushantang Couplets", Su Shi's "Dongting Spring Scenery" in the Song Dynasty, "Zhongshan Pine Wine Fu", "Returning to the Go", Huang Tingjian's "Yin Changsheng Poems", etc.

Each of these items is a treasure that shines the past and present today, and all of them are Liang Qingbiao's collections! It is very terrible. It can be said that his collections alone are of higher value than the collections of several museums today.

First of all, the so-called large collectors in China seem to have collected a lot of things, but the really precious ones are actually just a few pieces, which is already amazing.

Everyone was deeply shocked when they heard this. They all knew that there was a corrupt official Heshen in the Qing Dynasty. He had countless property, and even the emperor couldn't help but confiscate his house. Unexpectedly, there was also Liang Qingbiao who also had many treasures.

Didn’t it mean that “an ordinary man is innocent and bears a treasure”? How did this person not be missed by others?

"He must be a high-ranking official, right?" Ye Mei said with confidence.

Hu Yang nodded: "Well! Indeed, reaching the position of the Six Ministers of the Book of History is naturally not a simple character. Being able to collect so many precious calligraphy and painting treasures is also related to the environment at that time.

During the turbulent period, it was always auspicious time to "pick out" and many collections were gathered and scattered. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, whether it was the rewards from the top to the bottom of the palace or the flow of the people, the collection changed hands. The traitors began to collect calligraphy and painting in the Ming Dynasty."

In addition, the new emperors of the Qing Dynasty liked to issue some "year-end bonuses" and "performance bonuses". Emperors such as Shunzhi and Kangxi often rewarded their ministers with calligraphy and paintings collected in the palace.

There is something that everyone may not know. The collection of calligraphy and paintings in the Ming Dynasty and the early Qing Dynasty was far less than that of the ministers who mainly collected calligraphy and paintings, such as Sun Chengze, Liang Qingbiao, Song Lu, etc.

"Of course, the most important thing is his status, background and money, which provides him with a foundation for collection. During the Ming Dynasty, this guy's family was very good, Liang Menglong's great-grandson.

Someone is going to ask, who is Liang Menglong? Qi Jiguang’s boss is very powerful. The Liang family has such a top circle of friends, and it would be easy to collect it.

In the Qing Dynasty, he was the core figure of paintings from the south and the north. It was very simple to get some private goods for himself."

Then, Huyang told everyone a few words about "painting south and crossing north".

The "Southern paintings cross the north" in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties refer to the transfer of calligraphy and painting collections from south to north, the changes in collection standards, the rise of northern collection centers, etc. The migration of collections is not as quick and direct as the dynasty changes. After the Qing army headed south, it did not bring calligraphy and painting to Beijing. This process was achieved through collectors.

"Anyway, in the future, whenever you encounter his collection seal, try not to let go, as it is usually good things." Hu Yang said to everyone.
