Preface
Jiang Kun's mansion and collection are legendary, which makes this cross talk master attract attention and doubt. Let's start with Mr. Jiang Kun as a kid. Speaking of the hard days of the year, he himself sighed "too bitter".
Who would have thought that now he has a mansion worth hundreds of millions of yuan in Beijing, with three floors inside and three floors outside, which is brilliantly furnished; There is also a private museum in Suzhou covering thousands of square meters, which can be called priceless in the collection of calligraphy, painting and antiques. To say that he earned it from cross talk is a bit far-fetched.
The interior of the master's mansion is stunningly eye-catching
When it comes to Jiang Kun's mansion, it is really extravagant! I heard that this mansion, which covers an area of several thousand square meters, is made of marble on the exterior walls alone, and the interior is splendidly decorated with gold, which can be described by the word "palace." Every holiday, Master Jiang will open the door in the mansion and let some distinguished guests and their children visit, just like a swaggering local tyrant.
The interior of the house is not to mention how opulent. Grandfather clocks, candlesticks, everything, the most is all kinds of antiques, dazzling, variety. Jiang Lao'er really knows how to shop for antiques, and he can shop for so many good things.
I heard that there are even more porcelain worth millions in it, and some of the treasures are even older than the time he entered the door, all of which are hundreds of years old, but I think he had to save money for many years to buy those treasures with such a small salary.
The most eye-catching thing in the house is a whole piece of topaz inlaid on the ground in the center of the main hall, which is more than 2 meters long, and the treasure is solemn and valuable. It is clear that it is to appreciate elegance and tradition. If you are idle, Jiang Lao'er will sit in the center of the living room, drinking tea while admiring this topaz, showing her old age. To say how happy he was in his heart would be some nonsense.
Of course, just appreciating and appreciating it is too thin. The master's mansion was also built by him with a unique cave, showing the owner's unique taste and elegance everywhere. Under this topaz, there is even an artificial fountain.
If it is not ingenious, it is impossible to say that the craftsmen are really welding. There is also a pavilion next to this fountain, which is ventilated on all sides, and it is an excellent place to drink tea and admire the moon. Although this pavilion is not very large, the ceiling alone is run through by a line of canopy rosewood, and it took a lot of effort to do so in those years.
Master Jiang's private art gallery is comparable to the Forbidden City
When it comes to Master Jiang's collecting, it's even more staggering. In the suburbs of Suzhou, Master Jiang has a private collection museum covering an area of several thousand square meters. In addition to his decades of calligraphy and painting collections, there are also tens of thousands of porcelain, jade, calligraphy and paintings, worth hundreds of millions of yuan.
This old man has also put a lot of effort into the decoration of the museum. There are three courtyards in the whole building, and the first entrance near the street is a hall to receive some visiting VIPs. The back two entrances are all exhibition halls, and when you walk in, you will follow up the Forbidden City, which is very magnificent.
Those who have visited the museum say that the number of calligraphy, painting and porcelain collections in the museum can be carried on a ship. The most eye-catching is the peony pattern porcelain plate with a height of more than 2 meters, known as "the first plate in the world". The plate was specially erected in the center of the central hall, high and magnificent. Master Jiang once said during the tour that the history of this treasure can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty, which was a dynasty at that time.
If you want to say how much this plate is worth, it is rumored that a private collector once wanted to buy it at a high price, but Jiang Lao'er rejected it. Among the exhibits in the museum, this plate is the most precious, and it is for this reason that his predecessors held it so high. Don't look at it ordinary, but you must know that it has witnessed the vicissitudes of history for more than 1,000 years, how can it be easily sold privately.
In addition to this top treasure, the museum is also filled with fine porcelain, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and countless others. According to acquaintances, the value of the collection alone is already hundreds of millions, and it is really enough for Master Jiang to spend his old age happily when it is sold at this time.
Huge family wealth raises questions, old artists work hard to earn it?
Seeing this mansion and collection, many people were dumbfounded. How did this 80-year-old artist make his fortune? With his salary, I am afraid that he will not be able to save so much money in hundreds of years. Some people bluntly doubt whether Jiang Laoer has "gray income".
In fact, I have heard of this for many years. Jiang Kun can have such a net worth of furniture today, thanks to his decades of experience in the arts, and he has made a lot of money in commercial performances and endorsements.
He and several good partners frequently appeared on the Spring Festival Gala stage in their early years, making a big show in front of the national audience. Slowly, all kinds of advertising and commercial performance businesses came to the door to beg Jiang Laoer to stand on the platform and cut the ribbon, and the salary was frighteningly high.
Looking back today, the famous quyi artist back then did not have the opportunity to accumulate funds. It stands to reason that as long as you have a good grasp of the income and expenditure calculations, and continue to take on jobs, you can save a lot of money.
However, some people are skeptical of Jiang Kun's wealth accumulation, thinking that there may be something else hidden. They believe that even if the commercial performance can make money, it will not be enough to finance the construction of the mansion and private museum. What's more, Jiang Kun has not completely withdrawn from the system, and the economic income at hand should not be high.
In this regard, some insiders revealed that Jiang Laoer often takes out some calligraphy and painting masterpieces to sell for money, which is very profitable, and over the years, the income is gradually considerable.
However, it is really difficult to explain his huge net worth by selling calligraphy and paintings alone. Some analysts pointed out that in addition to relying on quyi commercial performances and selling calligraphy and paintings, Jiang Kun also has another important source of income - the sale of cultural relics and antiques.
According to industry insiders, old artists willingly or unintentionally buy some rare treasures at low prices through some special channels, and then sell them at a high price when the time is ripe to earn astronomical profits. With his social status, this kind of abnormal operation is actually quite easy to do.
For example, his peony-patterned porcelain plate, known as "the first plate in the world", is rumored to have been purchased by Jiang Kun at a low price through the culvert. Nowadays, the state has become more and more strict in controlling the outflow of cultural relics, and it is difficult to buy porcelain of a similar level.
Jiang Lao'er still has a lot of similar treasures in his hands, and as the age goes by, their value will naturally rise. No, even a seemingly inconspicuous small porcelain plate is now sold for millions.
However, in the face of doubts, Jiang Kun himself does not seem to be willing to explain too much. Some people say that as an artist, collecting antiques and treasures is a normal hobby, and he should not be too suspicious. Moreover, as the top boss of the Quyi Association, he does have some special channels at hand to seek benefits.
end
Alas, in the final analysis, Jiang Kun is now rich and rivals the country, and there are indeed a lot of cats in it. However, this old man who has lived for eighty or ninety years, after all, is also a generation of grandmasters, and has made outstanding contributions to the art of quyi, so we will not be so strict to investigate.
For the rest of his life, he can enjoy his old age without worrying about food and clothing, and he is afraid that it is the greatest wish of the elderly. Let this old artist squander the rest of his life, and after a hundred years, those heirloom treasures will naturally be returned to the state, and they will still be treasured at that time.
Throughout the ages, Jiang Kun has been a rare artist with so many pockets. As the head of the art garden, his actions can actually be regarded as the highest gift to art. But we still hope that his glorious "royal tomb" will eventually be passed down intact to the world.
