Chapter 923: Landscape Horizontal Axis
Listening to Ruan Kant's explanation, it was perfect.
Mr. Shen nodded with a smile and said, "Sir Kant's words make sense. There is a word called icing on the cake, and there is another word called timely help. Everyone likes icing on the cake, but they don't know that timely help is more valuable. Jazz's behavior is a timely help."
"Old Mr. Shen has been awarded for it. I just hope that the concept of charity can be deeply spread to the people of the world, so that people all over the world can participate," Ruan Kangde smiled. "I didn't expect that the Chinese people's support for charity is really gratifying."
Lin Mengjia pricked up her ears, and listening to the conversation at the table, she felt a little more suspicious.
After receiving Gu Jiachen's reminder, she also suspected that Mr. Shen and Ruan Kant had secretly colluded, or in other words, had collusion with Xuanmen, and Chen Jianfei's question also made her a little strange.
However, she had no time to suspect too much about such matters, and the dinner soon set off another climax.
On the stage, two girls in ancient Chinese costumes walked up with a wooden cart. On the top of the cart, there was a piece of red cloth covering the things below. Through the cloth, the shape seemed to be a long cylindrical body.
The host also followed the stage and said with a smile: "Dear guests, Dr. Kant brought a collection for this dinner. This collection will be auctioned on the spot at this time and place, and all the proceeds from the goods will be donated to the foundation."
As he spoke, the host smiled and made a gesture of invitation to the audience.
Ruan Kangde said "Young companion" to Mr. Shen and Tang Feng, and then walked onto the stage. With everyone's curious eyes, he lifted the red cloth.
Below the red cloth is a scroll.
Ruan Kant took the scroll out of the tray with both hands and handed it to the two girls dressed in ancient costumes, so that each of them could hold one end and slowly unfold it.
What appeared in front of everyone was a four-foot-foot landscape painting, painting a majestic and steep mountain and ridge. At sunrise, there were thousands of rays of sunlight, spreading layer by layer on top of the mountain, with endless scenic scenery, majestic momentum, and thick and elegant brushstrokes.
Amid the crowd, a marvelous voice sounded.
Everyone present was rich, so naturally there were many scholars who liked to collect such calligraphy and paintings. There were also many attainments in this identification. As soon as the painting was unfolded, many people had already recognized it.
They knew the value of this painting, which caused a lot of discussion.
Ruan Kant took the microphone from the host's hand and smiled and said, "Everyone, I believe many friends have recognized this painting. This is the landscape made by Tang Yin, a famous painter in the history of China. It was collected by me by some chance. Today, I will take it out as an item of this charity dinner. Raising charity funds for the fundraising can also be considered a way to return it to China."
Many people know about famous historical figures like Tang Yin, but more people know that he is his ladies' flower and bird paintings. However, he has many achievements in landscape paintings, with a handsome and beautiful style, and occupies a very important position in history.
At this moment, the horizontal axis of the landscape displayed by Ruan Kant was spread overseas a hundred years ago due to the war. It had appeared at some auctions abroad, but it had been decades and disappeared, and no one knew its whereabouts. It turned out that it was finally collected by Ruan Kant after many twists and turns.
This kind of works can be preserved to this day, with a very limited number. Such a huge piece can be regarded as a national treasure.
In recent years, both the official and the civilian countries have tried to recover these national treasures that have been left out. This idea is excellent, but it is extremely difficult to implement.
Although these things may have been shabby when they were leaked out of China, they may have been stubborn, but after several auctions, the owners who have obtained them now use legal means, so naturally they cannot force them to hand over them.
Some of the people present thought it was a gimmick for Ruan Kant to raise funds in China. Although the person was here, they always doubted his purpose. At this time, Ruan Kant actually took out this line of Tang Yin's landscape, which fully demonstrated his sincerity.
Not only the rich people present showed great interest in this, but even Mr. Shen showed a hint of surprise on his face.
When Tang Feng saw that the expression in his eyes was not deliberately disguised, but was completely from the heart.
Chen Jianfei, who was beside him, his pupils suddenly magnified, and he looked stunned.
It can be seen that both of them did not know that Ruan Kant had such behavior.
Before, there was no such section in the dinner program schedule.
Seeing everyone present like this, Ruan Kangde smiled slightly, his smile showed a little smugness, and seemed to be very satisfied with the reactions of the guests present.
Kong Qinghua said astonished: "What a big deal! This painting is probably sold for more than tens of millions on the market."
Shangguan stared at the painting with his eyes tightly, and said in his mouth: "The value of this painting is not only in terms of price. There are not many works of Tang Yin's existence overseas. According to the current laws of China, domestic works cannot be leaked out of the country. However, if you enter China, you will get one, and one will be missing."
"He is really willing to do so."
Kong Qinghua still looked amazed.
Lin Mengjia looked at the scroll, and after a while, she turned her gaze toward Tang Feng. She saw Tang Feng squint slightly and looked at the painting, looking thoughtful.
It can be seen that Tang Feng was very interested in this painting.
If Tang Feng likes it, it would be better to take a photo and give it to him.
Just now, Kong Qinghua said that the market price of this painting was about tens of millions. Although Lin Mengjia prepared five million yuan for this dinner, she could also take out another five million yuan.
Just as Lin Mengjia was planning this way, Kong Qinghua said to himself as if he was talking to himself: "This painting is probably going to be auctioned on such occasions, and it is probably going to double the price."
Lin Mengjia was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the people present were all wealthy people in China. If some of them also liked this painting and kept raising prices, the final price of the painting would definitely be greatly exceeded its market price.
Thinking of this, Lin Mengjia couldn't help but smile helplessly.
However, despite this, she also wanted to give it a try.
It is rare to have an object that Tang Feng likes, and she naturally tried every means to give it to him.
