The next thing to appear is of course the ancient Chinese paintings that everyone is looking forward to.

Of course, these ancient Chinese paintings are also collected from the Boston Art Museum. Of course, Jin Muchen will not take them out of the most valuable cultural relics.

For example, Yan Liben's "Pictures of Emperors of All Dynasties", the "Pictures of Daoxuan" by Zhang Xuan, a famous painter of the Tang Dynasty, the "Pictures of Five-Colored Parrots" signed with Emperor Huizong of Song, and the "Pictures of the Emperor's View of Horses" by Emperor Huizong of Ming Dynasty.

In Jin Muchen's opinion, these paintings are priceless treasures and are the most essential part of ancient Chinese paintings. Even if the value of these paintings is not as valuable as those Western Impressionist oil paintings auctioned before.

But Jin Muchen also didn't plan to take action. After all, as a Chinese, he still has some ethnic complexes. It is best to collect these paintings by famous ancient masters, as a Chinese.

As for other ancient Chinese paintings? This is not something that cannot be taken.

After all, the fame, cultural relics and historical value of these paintings are not as high as the previous ones, and can only be regarded as antiques in general categories.

Of course, such antiques can be sold, after all, antiques can only be valuable if they are circulated.

If you collect them all, it will not make that much sense, especially for the antique market and collectors.

The size of these paintings is not very large, and the price is not the best one, but it is the most popular one on the market.

Whether for Chinese collectors or for foreign collectors.

For Chinese collectors, such paintings are not expensive and are also works of their own nation. They can better appreciate and appreciate the beauty of these paintings, so the significance of cultural relics is greater than the value.

For Western collectors, they may not understand the meaning of these paintings or appreciate the beauty of these paintings, but for them, these paintings have better room for preservation and appreciation.

Moreover, because the price is medium, the size is not large, it is easy to carry, and it is easier to monetize.

This is the same as the low-end houses in the real estate market, which are far better than villas and luxury houses.

So in fact, the rich people who had not taken action before were waiting for a group of ancient Chinese paintings to appear.

When Jin Muchen started working at the Boston Art Museum before, he didn’t just focus on the works of top famous artists. You should know that in the Boston Art Museum, there were more than 15,000 ancient Chinese paintings in the Boston Art Museum.

Except for about 10% of these, most of the works are created by some unknown painters back then.

From the perspective of Chinese painting identification, many of these paintings are not considered high-quality works. They are just because they have been preserved for a long time and have become antiques.

Moreover, because such ancient paintings are not works by famous artists, the auction value has been greatly reduced, so the price cannot be considered high.

If you take the right way to auction, most of them will be in the range of more than 100,000 US dollars, or more than one hundred thousand US dollars.

This price is more popular, and of course it is also the kind of antiques that the rich people present like the most.

After all, in addition to Chinese collectors, these Western collectors collect such ancient paintings completely because they value their value preservation and appreciation.

And those rich men with unclean origins are even more eager to see such paintings.

Just imagine, if one day they were about to escape because of the incident, would they be willing to bring millions of cash on them, or would they be willing to bring such a "check" that is equivalent to a large denomination and can be cashed at any time?

Moreover, compared with those high-priced oil paintings that cost hundreds of millions or tens of millions, the cashing of such "small checks" is more convenient, and even if you cash on the way to escape, the losses will be minimized.

So although the oil paintings auctioned before are very high-end, they are often millions or tens of millions, but in fact, the ancient Chinese paintings that will appear next are the highlights of this auction.

Many people are already ready to go and can't wait.

Jin Muchen's original intention of stealing these paintings was also hoped that these paintings could flow back to our country as much as possible. Therefore, of course, he had notified Wang Xueming long ago at this auction and told him to bring more friends and more money.

After all, although he hopes that all these ancient Chinese paintings can be returned to China as much as possible, it is not easy to make them too obvious.

First of all, he could not donate all these paintings to China in anonymous manner, but he did not have the good habit of being Lei Feng.

Secondly, it is impossible for him to organize a special auction with only Chinese people. After all, in that case, his tendency is too obvious.

Originally, some people suspected that he was related to this case. If he sold all these Chinese paintings to Chinese people so generously, then people would definitely suspect that this case might be related to national sentiment.

At that time, just one surveillance monitoring will be checked. He was a Chinese man who appeared in the Boston Art Museum for three consecutive days before the incident.

Although those guys may not find any evidence, they can completely let you live under their magnifying glass in the future. Such a life is not what Jin Muchen wants.

So he can only do so much now. The next thing he will do is Wang Xueming and the "Friends and Friends Group" he brought!

Having said that, Wang Xueming really trusted him. This time he did not come alone, and he also brought more than a dozen friends who were "like-minded" with him.

And he actually saw an expert group led by Professor Yang. If Wang Xueming and others participated in the auction in private, then Professor Yang and the others would definitely be representatives of the "national team".

After all, the news of this auction is quite popular, and Professor Yang and the others cannot not know about it. As a collection institution that can be called a famous collection in the country, how can you miss such a good opportunity to return cultural relics?

You should know how many times Professor Yang and others have been there before. After reading the paintings of our ancestors, in addition to lamenting the paintings of our ancestors, all the rest is heartache.

The paintings of his ancestors cannot be seen by his own Chinese, but instead hang them in museums in foreign countries for foreigners to watch and play with them casually. This is not a humiliation and grief for those cultural relics workers.

So this time they will not miss this opportunity to get those treasures back. Even if everyone knows that these paintings are stolen goods, they cannot miss them.

Anyway, when those foreigners made these paintings back then, they didn’t know how to use regular channels. So what if we got them back, we didn’t use regular channels?

Besides, Italy has relevant legal provisions. As long as you buy something at an auction, it is your legal collection. As for the way that thing was sold, they don’t care...

So the 'national team' is here, and a lot of funds have been engraved on it this time...

The collectors below were all ready to go and were already impatient. Soon the ancient Chinese paintings were all on the stage.

When Jin Muchen started at the Boston Art Museum, he not only stole the works of famous artists that the Boston Art Museum regarded as the treasure of the museum, but he also did not let go of the representative works of some slightly famous painters from the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties.

At that time, he had taken away nearly a thousand paintings, but the best part of them was collected by him, and the rest were only the finest paintings left by some unknown authors.

Of course, in order not to disappoint everyone, there are also some representative works of famous painters of those eras.

For example, the "Caoting Poetry Scroll" by Wu Zhen in the Yuan Dynasty, the "Auntie's Teaching Picture Scroll" by Wang Zhenyu in the Yuan Dynasty, and the "Peach, Bamboo, Mandarin Duck Picture" by Wang Yuan in the Yuan Dynasty.

Qiu Ying's "The Pinqin's Picture" by Qing Dynasty, Zhang Fu's "Three Talents and Reasons" by Ming Dynasty, Zhao Xuezhe's "The Picture of the Picture of the Ronghu Picture" by Li Xiuyi in the Qing Dynasty, and Li Xiuyi's "The Picture of the Returning Boat and Carrying a Stone" by Li Xiuyi in the Qing Dynasty, etc.

These painters were not considered first-class masters in their dynasties, but were just some medium-famous painters. Their works were not just like this, so the historical archaeological value of these paintings was not too high, but the antique value was not too low, which just fit the psychological price of those rich people.

The value of these paintings is probably estimated by Jin Muchen. The quality is better and the age is older, which is only 20 to 3 million US dollars, and the difference is about 1 million US dollars.

The remaining dozens of other paintings are relatively low-end paintings, all of which are the works of some third-rate painters in those dynasties, some painters are even not famous, and some of them have no idea who painted them.

Of course, although these paintings are incomparable to the first-class people of their same era, they are still quite exquisite compared to other paintings of their same era, so the prices are mostly between hundreds of thousands of dollars, hundreds of thousands of dollars, and about one million dollars.

Once these paintings were released, they attracted the attention of bidders present.

Everyone sent their own appraisers to the stage to argue the authenticity. Although these paintings do not have the top famous paintings that everyone expected, they are just as Jin Muchen had estimated before.

These paintings are medium-length, old, high-quality cultural relics, easy to carry, and good monetization ability, so soon the preheating of those bidders with their own thoughts was completed.
Chapter completed!
