Chapter 1054 Selling Paintings

"Dedicated to the country?" Xiao Fei said with a sneer: "You want me to exchange for a pennant for such a valuable thing? Absolutely not!" After finishing speaking, he quickly put away the "Picture of Sending the Son of the Heavenly King".

"Leader, this is a national treasure, a treasure belonging to the Chinese nation." Xiao Xinghua said solemnly: "Isn't it great that you dedicate it to the museum so that more Chinese people can see it? And the purpose of our ancient martial arts world is to To protect the safety of China, you, as the leader, should be even more so."

"The "Picture of Sending the Heavenly King" is not yours, of course you are easy to say. If it is yours, are you willing to offer it?" Xiao Fei said angrily, "The main purpose of the ancient martial arts world is to defend China, not to protect China. Xianbao. I have done enough to protect the safety of China, so forget about offering treasures."

"Leader, you can't sell the painting if you keep it with you? If you can't sell it, no matter how good the treasure is, it's not worth much." Xiao Xinghua persuaded earnestly: "Besides, if you want to sell it abroad, I believe the leader can't do it. Right? Also, with your appreciation ability, leader, you won’t be able to appreciate it if you keep it.”

"I can't appreciate it, so I can save it to wipe my butt?" Xiao Fei said angrily.

"Alright then." Xiao Xinghua said helplessly. Seeing that Xiao Fei insisted not to donate the treasure, he also did not kidnap Xiao Fei morally. After thinking about it, he said, "Actually, staying with the leader is also beneficial. After all, "The Picture of Sending the Son of the Heavenly King" is too shocking. If the world knows about it, it might cause a sensation."

"The leader is invincible and can better protect it. At the same time, it can also prevent some corrupt elements from taking the painting as their own. In the future, if there are collectors with high morals who want to appreciate it, just come to the leader to appreciate it."

"It's like a human saying." Xiao Fei said.

In fact, there is another important reason for Xiao Fei not to dedicate himself to the country. Wu Daozi, the saint of painting, didn't want his authentic painting to appear in the world at all, so as not to cause misunderstandings in the heavenly court, so he went down to earth and collected the painting in the sky during the Song Dynasty. If it is dedicated to a museum exhibition, then everyone will know it, which is not good for him.

The reason why you said you want to sell it just now is because you are greedy for money.

"If you show me these few paintings again, I won't believe them, and these few paintings can't be sold!" Xiao Fei said. After speaking, he took out several other scrolls from his pocket. These scrolls were picked up by him when he was searching for the sacred artifact, the Hibiscus tree, at the Japanese Shrine. If he hadn't been asked to appraise the price of "The Picture of Sending the Son of the Heavenly King", he would have almost forgotten it.

"These paintings are..." Xiao Xinghua was shocked again after seeing it: "It is actually Japanese style, and it is also the pioneering work of Ukiyo-e! All of them are works of famous artists, famous painters of the Edo period."

"My God, they are all Japanese National Treasure Ukiyo-e. Leader, where did you get them?"

"Have you forgotten that I have been to Japan?" Xiao Fei said: "When I went to the treasure house of the shrine, I snatched it. I only showed you a few paintings, and I have hundreds of paintings like this. "

"Yeah, yum. The leader went to conquer Japan, so he should have brought back some treasures." Xiao Xinghua said, "And I got them from the shrine's treasury. It's amazing! It's a bit like the Eight-Power Allied Forces when they took away our national treasures in the Old Summer Palace." .Leader, let us take a breath of anger for China."

"However, the lord only destroyed the shrine, and did not burn it down for three days and three nights. The revenge is not yet complete."

If he knew that Xiao Fei even stole the Fusang Sacred Tree, he wouldn't say that revenge was incomplete. Although the Eight-Power Allied Forces stole many national treasures in the Old Summer Palace, they did not steal the Great Yu Jiuding, the artifact of the Huaxia Township. Of course, the Dayu Jiuding was not hidden in the Old Summer Palace.

"Let's not talk about that for now, just tell me how much these paintings can sell for." Xiao Fei said. Compared with revenge or something, he actually cares more about money. Said: "The Eight-Power Allied Forces stole cultural relics in the past, and they can be exhibited in museums in their own countries. The ones I got back should also be sold?"

"Well, it can be sold for money." Xiao Xinghua said, "But the present is not the past, and the theme of modern society is peace. If the auction is held with great fanfare, it will cause international disputes. Therefore, the leader can first take out the least famous Ukiyo-e Selling, that way the goal is small and the movement is small.”

"If the rich Japanese can't compete with the rich in China, then this painting can be swaggered into the Huaxia Museum. Then sell another copy every few years, and the rich in China will buy it back... Over time, so many paintings can be kept. It’s in China. The Huaxia Museum exhibits Japanese ukiyo-e, let’s see where they put their face.”

"How many years to sell one? It's too troublesome!" Xiao Fei said, "Tell me how much it is first."

"Even the least famous, the starting price is billions!" Xiao Xinghua said.

"Billions!" Xiao Fei was stunned: "So much money, can the local tyrants in China afford it?"

"You underestimate China's local tyrants too much." Xiao Xinghua said: "Ma Tengyun, the richest man in China, can afford hundreds of billions and trillions. There are still a lot of local tyrants who are a little worse than him."

"Okay then, you can pick a pair at random and sell it at an international auction house, and let the local rich in Japan know about it." Xiao Fei said.

"Leader, what do you want so much money for?" Xiao Xinghua was puzzled.

"Money is a good thing. Who would think that I have too much?" Xiao Fei said, "My current net worth is... I can't remember the exact amount. But compared with the richest man, I am still an ant. Therefore, it is still Earn more while you are young."

Earn more money while you're young? Xiao Xinghua said hehe, Xiao Fei is only in his teens now. Said: "In this case, then I will pick one at random and take it away." After finishing speaking, he carefully selected among several paintings, and it didn't take long to pick a pair: "This one is the painting of the famous Japanese painter Kita Chuange. His "Gao Li Mei Ren Hua" is not only a masterpiece of Ukiyo-e, but also once lost, and there are different opinions about his life experience, and it just happened to appear in China suddenly."

"Is a picture of an ugly girl worth so much?" Seeing "Painting of Beauty", there is only one woman painted, with a big face, white as if coated with flour, and small lips, Xiao Fei was puzzled asked.

"People's appreciation level in ancient times is different from that of today." Xiao Xinghua said: "The aesthetics of the Edo period in Japan inherited the aesthetics of the Tang Dynasty. Fat and white were considered beautiful, and the mouth should also be small. "

"So it's like this, I thought the uglier the more valuable." Xiao Fei said.

"Hehe!" Xiao Xinghua chuckled, "Leader, I'll just take this painting away. As for the auction, you don't have to worry about it. I'll transfer the money from the sale to your account directly."

"I like people like you the most, don't let me trouble you." Xiao Fei said.
