The perfect rich man in the city

Mr. Wang’s father received his son’s message and immediately replied to

"It took your grandfather twelve years to collect this set of snuff bottles. They are all made by famous people. Since it is a gift from your friend, we can’t take advantage of it. Tell him that these twelve snuff bottles have Mei Lan. Bamboo and chrysanthemums, including portraits of people, pavilions, pavilions, etc., were created by the four masters of pot painting in the Qing Dynasty - Ma Shaoxuan, Ye Zhongsan, Zhou Leyuan, and Ding Erzhong. If you don't know who they are, you can check them out a thousand times. The price is here Don’t ask for more. Twelve million. If it works, we’ll make the deal. If it doesn’t work, we’ll take it down. We can’t lower it any more."

······

Mr. Wang’s father arranged things clearly

"Dad, I understand, don't worry."

He was not the one who suffered the loss.

At this moment, WeChat rang again.

The Queen Mother took the photo and sent it to WeChat

"I took two more of the photos you asked for."

""Okay mom."

Wang Shao came to Mo Shao and handed the phone to Mo Shao.

"Mr. Mo, this is a photo. Take a look. These twelve snuff bottles were made by four masters of the Qing Dynasty - Ma Shaoxuan, Ye Zhongsan, Zhou Leyuan, and Ding Erzhong. All four of them are master-level figures. You can check it out." Although Mr. Wang loves to play, when it comes to doing business, he is not a dandy at all.

""Well." Mr. Mo was not stupid.

He looked carefully and found that the appearance was indeed very good.

And it was quite delicate and beautiful.

"Who are those four people you are talking about?"Master Mo didn't understand.

But there were people he knew who understood.

""Ma Shaoxuan, Ye Zhongsan, Zhou Leyuan, Ding Erzhong" Major

General Wang named four people. Mo

Shaoqian checked them out and they were four people.

Ma Shaoxuan was one of the four major painters of the Beijing School of Interior Painting in the Qing Dynasty. His calligraphy and painting were both excellent and his brushwork was exquisite.

There was a folk song spread:"When you enter the hall, you can appreciate Ye Zhongsan, the white snow in spring, Zhou Leyuan, and Wu Chang'an, both civil and military talents."Ma Shaoxuan is one of the"Four Famous Dans". He is famous throughout the country for his fine brushwork"poetry on one side and painting on the other" inner painting skills.

Ma Shaoxuan's works are very rare.

Even fewer have been handed down.

The most famous one is the"Young Man Flying a Kite" snuff bottle, On one side of this pot is a painting of a young man flying a kite. The kite is in the shape of a butterfly. The boy's innocent and lively attitude is vividly displayed on the pot. In the upper left corner are the words"Yiwei Winter Ma Shaoxuan" and"Shaoxuan" in an oval white seal. Yiwei is dated 1895. That is, in the 21st year of Guangxu, Ma Shaoxuan was 29 years old. On the other side, there is an elegant fan painting, only one centimeter high and two centimeters long, but the mountains and rivers in the distance and the people in the thatched cottage are all clearly visible. The author has collected two snuff bottles. Over the past ten years, I have seen more than a hundred inner-painted pots, but this is the only one with such a small painting on the inner-painted pot without losing its charm. It is praised by colleagues as the smallest fan in the world and can be awarded the Guinness Book of Records.

On the lower left side of the fan There is a scroll in the square painting, with the four characters"Ma Tong Yi Sun" in seal script. A Mr. Ma Tong asked Ma Shaoxuan to create this pot as a gift to his grandson.

This pot is Ma Shaoxuan's early masterpiece. He started working on it when he was 18 years old. In the creative career of the art of inside-painted pots, he worked hard and constantly innovated. His inside-painted pot art became famous at home and abroad. In 1915, he won the gold medal at the Panama International Exposition in the United States. Bob Stephens, a famous American expert on Chinese snuff bottles, said this in his book Comment on Ma Shaoxuan:"For me, Ma Shaoxuan is the Picasso among the artists who paint pots inside."Mr. Zhao Ruzhen, a famous cultural relic expert in my country and the author of"Antique Guide", spoke highly of Ma Shaoxuan's art of interior-painted pots. He said:"Ma Shaoxuan and Zhou Leyuan are the most famous for their exquisite craftsmanship. The calligraphy they write is all elegant. , the paintings he painted also have their own origins. The exquisiteness of its production is also rare in calligraphy and painting from the outside, but now it is made from the reverse side, and it is so beautiful. It is truly said to be a miraculous workmanship."

Ma Shaoxuan's inner-painted pots have been collected by European and American royal families, major museums and private collectors in the early years. However, there are relatively few in China, and his early works are even rarer.

······

Then, Mr. Mo searched for three other people.

I suddenly had an idea in my mind

""What price does uncle want?" Ask the price first.

"Mr. Mo, we are brothers, and brothers don’t care about each other so much. Twelve million, one million for each snuff bottle, package and sell." Mr. Wang directly gave the price.

"This is the lowest price. If Mr. Mo makes a counter-offer, it would be really insincere."

"Don't worry, if the thing is genuine, I will never bargain." Mo Shao said with a cold face.

"I'll make a call." Then, Mr. Mo went out and made a call.

The person Mr. Mo called was none other than a friend who was proficient in antiques.

He asked about the price.

"If it is really as you said, then the value is huge, 12 million, which is definitely a friendship price. Basically, you can make money by buying it," the friend couldn't help but say.

He also wants to encounter such a good thing.

"Okay, then you can follow me to check." Mr. Mo is also worried about fakes.

Don't be afraid of 10,000, just be afraid of the unexpected.

What if fakes appear? That would be a real slap in the face._Fei
