At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, due to the corruption and incompetence of the rulers, the great powers invaded the Forbidden City, and many valuable and valuable calligraphy and paintings were lost from the Forbidden City. Among these rare treasures, one of the paintings is the heirloom of the old man, due to the lack of life, the old man wants to sell this heirloom for 8 million, but experts say that it is only worth 10,000, and the old man refuses to sell 19.8 million after turning around.
The name of this painting is "Ten Yong Tu", which is a painting made by the famous Northern Song Dynasty painter Zhang Xian in his later years when he remembered his father's sudden inspiration, Puyi fled the Forbidden City and hid in Tibet, and many personal cultural relics were given to others. The old man's father was once Puyi's personal bodyguard, and this "Ten YongTu" fell into the hands of the guards.
The painting was sold for a whopping $18 million, was purchased by the Palace Museum in Beijing, and with an auction commission of $1.8 million, the painting was worth 19.8 million yuan. If the expert at that time bought this painting for 8 million yuan, he could still make a net profit of 10 million, I wonder if the expert who only received 10,000 yuan would regret it?
Some people say: Fortunately, the old man wisely rejected the expert, otherwise the painting would have been oversized and destroyed.
