In the conference room, the appraisal is still continuing.
Zenitani Mami personally picked up an exquisite box and placed it gently on the conference table.
Then he put on his gloves, carefully opened the post box, took out a seemingly ancient Dharma post from it, and placed it on the satin.
He stared at this Dharma poster with great reluctance for a long time, and then said with great pain:
"Mr. Sean, you want one of Wang Xizhi's "Mourning and Rebellion" and Li Bai's "Mocking Wang Liyang's Reluctance to Drink"!"
"After careful consideration, we have decided to trade with you the painting "Mocking Wang Liyang's Reluctance to Drink" written by Li Bai!"
"There are only two calligraphy works by the poet Li Bai that have survived in the world. One is the "Post on the Balcony" in the Forbidden City, and the other is the "Post on mocking Wang Liyang for refusing to drink".
"There is no doubt that this is a priceless treasure. It would be very painful to trade it with you."
"But there is no way, you guys are eyeing this priceless treasure, we can only accept this result, you can start to identify it!"
As he spoke, he made a gesture of invitation.
Then he fell down on the chair with an expression as if he was mourning for his concubine!
Looking at Xiao Ran again, his eyes were shining with excitement, staring closely at Li Bai's "Mocking Wang Liyang's Reluctance to Drink" written in front of him.
Several old men in Beijing held their breath with excitement and stared at this priceless treasure.
"Director Qian Gu, in fact, you don't need to feel regret or sadness."
"Although you lost the poem "Mocking Wang Liyang's Reluctance to Drink" by the poet Li Bai, you got the top antique cultural relics and works of art you wanted!"
"Furthermore, it has not yet been determined whether this painting "Mocking Wang Liyang's Reluctance to Drink" is an authentic work by the poet Li Bai!"
“I took a certain risk by choosing this calligraphy work.”
Having said that, Xiao Ran gently rubbed his gloved hands and patted them gently to prevent dust from getting on the gloves.
Then he carefully took the ancient dharma painting over, slowly opened it, admired and appraised it.
His movements were as gentle as caring for his own eyes!
Under the omnipotent power of perspective, there is no doubt about this painting, which is suspected to be the original work of the poet Li Bai, "Mocking Wang Liyang for Reluctant to Drink"!
Through the beautiful colors and charming light radiating from this Dharma sticker, he was instantly sure.
This is 100% authentic work by the poet Li Bai. It is undoubtedly a priceless treasure and one of the only two calligraphy works of Li Bai left in the world!
Seeing his expression of excitement and treasure, Qian Guzhenmei rolled her eyes angrily, but didn't say anything more.
At this time, his heart was bleeding crazily, and he couldn't say anything!
Several old men who were far away in the Forbidden City in Beijing were holding their breath and staring closely at this priceless treasure, not even willing to blink.
As Xiao Ran opened this apricot-yellow, simple and elegant calligraphy work, a calligraphy work with flying dragons and phoenixes immediately appeared in front of his eyes.
The content of this calligraphy is exactly Li Bai's famous poem, "Mocking Wang Liyang for Refusing to Drink"
"Mocking Wang Liyang for Reluctance to Drink" is a five-character ancient poem by the poet Li Bai. The whole poem has eight sentences and 40 characters. It uses mocking words to persuade people to drink, which fully demonstrates Li Bai's heroic spirit.
The five-character ancient poem presented on this dharma calligraphy is powerful in writing, with flying dragons and phoenixes, unrestrained and unrestrained, and has an elegant and ethereal flavor, which is very consistent with the reputation of a poetic fairy.
At the end of this calligraphy, the word Li Bai is written clearly, which is extremely eye-catching!
Looking at this beautiful calligraphy, Xiao Ran was instantly attracted and admired it fascinatedly.
Several old men in Beijing were watching the high-definition close-up pictures on the big screen, admiring and discussing at the same time.
At the same time, they were also introducing this calligraphy work to Xiao Ran.
"Xiao Ran, this painting is suspected to be "Mocking Wang Liyang's Reluctance to Drink" by the poet Li Bai. Everyone has seen it in some famous calligraphy appraisals in China."
"Mr. Shi Shuqing, who was once the deputy chairman of the National Cultural Relics Appraisal Committee, together with several other senior gentlemen, once appraised this calligraphy work."
"They examined the brushwork, calligraphy and ink marks and concluded that this is a calligraphy work from the Tang Dynasty, which is a rare treasure, but they cannot be sure that it is an authentic work by Li Bai."
"Later, Mr. Qi Gong went to Japan to participate in a calligraphy exhibition and also appraised this calligraphy. Qi Gong also believed that it was a calligraphy from the Tang Dynasty, but he was not sure whether it was an authentic work by Li Bai."
"Later, Mr. Fu Shen also appraised this calligraphy. Not only did he think it was an ink from the Tang Dynasty, but it was indeed an authentic work by the poet Li Bai."
While admiring this calligraphy work, Mr. Jin introduced some stories about this calligraphy work.
He even introduced that the pen used to write this calligraphy was the chicken-back pen used by literati in the Tang Dynasty, not the calligraphy brush of later generations.
Then he analyzed the characteristics of the paper and found that it should be a special kind of paper produced in the Tang Dynasty.
Then he compared the calligraphy of Li Bai and Tang Taizong Li Shimin, and pointed out some of the connections.
To a certain extent, Li Bai's calligraphy was influenced by Tang Taizong's calligraphy, and they have many things in common.
To put it simply, it has the calligraphy style of the early Tang Dynasty.
Next, Mr. Jin compared this calligraphy work with Li Bai's "Tie to the Upper Balcony" collected in the Forbidden City.
After Mr. Jin finished his introduction, several other old men also expressed their opinions.
And everyone said in unison that no matter whether this calligraphy work was authentic by Li Bai or not, they must find a way to get it and bring it back to the country.
Listening to the analysis and introduction by several old men, Xiao Ran's understanding of this calligraphy work suddenly became more profound.
Of course, he understands it better than anyone else.
This is the authentic work of the poet Li Bai, a truly priceless treasure that must not be missed!
After several old men finished appraising it, everyone admired this exquisite calligraphy work for a while.
Xiao Ran carefully put it away and put it into the golden nanmu post box.
After putting this treasure away, Xiao Ran immediately raised his head and looked at Qian Guzhenmei and others opposite.
"Gentlemen, although the origin of this painting "Mocking Wang Liyang for Refusing to Drink" by the poet Li Bai is questionable, I have decided to accept this calligraphy work."
"Next, we can appreciate the next antique cultural relic or work of art. I am very much looking forward to seeing the next treasure."
Listening to his words, Qian Gu Zhenmei and the others couldn't help but feel itchy at the root of their teeth, and they were in a depressed mood.
But they have no choice but to stick out their necks and be slaughtered!
After adjusting her mood for a moment, Qian Guzhenmei took out a scroll and placed it on the conference table.
This is an ink landscape painting by Ma Yuan, one of the Four Masters of the Southern Song Dynasty.
It is one of Ma Yuan's masterpieces, "Dongshan Water Crossing"
The moment he saw this ink landscape painting, Xiao Ran felt happy again.
Several old men far away in Beijing were even more excited, their eyes shining with excitement.
This series of appraisals lasted for nearly an hour before it ended.
The Japanese did not play any tricks. Every piece of antique art they traded was genuine and of astonishing value.
They know very well who the counterparty they face this time is and how terrifying their strength is!
If they play any tricks, pass off inferior products as good ones, or even produce high-quality imitations and fakes, it is completely self-inflicted!
After completing all the appraisal work, Xiao Ran thanked several old men and then ended the video conference.
Then, he looked at the Japanese people opposite and said with a smile:
"Gentlemen, there is nothing wrong with these Chinese antiques and works of art that you are trading. I like every one of them very much."
"Since there is no problem with these antique artworks, we can move to the next step and conduct transactions."
"My legal team has prepared an art transaction contract, including three language versions, namely Chinese, English and Japanese. You can take a look."
"We are sure that there are no problems with the contract. After both of us reach an agreement on all the terms, we can officially sign it."
While talking, David had already taken out the drafted contract text and handed it to the Japanese opposite.
Seeing how well prepared they were, a look of fear flashed deep in the eyes of several Japanese people.
After taking over the contract, these Japanese began to review and discuss it item by item.
While we were talking, about half an hour passed.
After some discussions and arguments, the two parties finally reached an agreement on all the terms of the contract.
Subsequently, Xiao Ran and Japan's representative Qiantani Mami signed their names on the contract, truly finalizing this heavyweight art transaction.
After signing the contract, Xiao Ran immediately smiled and said:
"Gentlemen, I know you can't wait to get your hands on antique cultural relics such as Kikuichi Monmonorizon and so on as soon as possible."
"In that case, let's get ready to go to the bank vault in the financial district to complete the final delivery procedures."
"When my staff collects these Chinese antiques and works of art, we can set off to the financial district together."
As he spoke, he gestured to Matthew next to him.
The guy understood instantly and immediately turned on the intercom and said:
"Guys, everyone can enter the conference room and pack up these antique artworks that have just been traded."
Before he finished speaking, other company employees who had already arrived outside the conference room door immediately opened the door and walked in.
Seeing this scene, Qian Guzhenmei and the others were secretly speechless.
Sean, this cunning bastard, and these guys under him are really resolute!
It is definitely not a good thing to allow such a group of guys to stay in Japan!
Li Bai's "Mocking Wang Liyang's Reluctance to Drink"
