Chapter 232 Return to Beijing(1/2)
Three minutes later, Li Zhirong replied to the news.
"From the picture, it should be a work by the famous Italian sculptor Benini. Is it? I have to take a look at it myself before I know when you will come to Hong Kong Island?"
Benini?
Luo Hao frowned. He really didn't know the name. Although his antique identification has reached a certain level, he has no idea about some historical figures in Europe and the United States.
His study time is still too short.
If Shang Xin was here, he would definitely know who Li Zhirong was talking about, Bernini, an Italian, a great artist of the 17th century, mainly engaged in carving and architectural design, and his paintings, stage designs, etc. were all excellent.
"Maybe a few more days!"
Luo Hao's purpose of coming to Kunming has not been achieved yet and he cannot leave for the time being.
"You keep this thing well, it is true, and the market price is at least three million!"
Three million?
Luo Hao was stunned. When he bought this thing, he only knew that its carving was very good and he never thought it would be worth so much money.
If you buy it for 10,000 yuan, you can sell it for 3 million yuan. Wouldn’t that be a super big leak of 300 times?
"I'm talking about the euro!"
Li Zhirong added another sentence, and Luo Hao was stunned again.
He was surprised by the super large leak of more than 300 times. If it was converted into euros, it was a super large leak of more than 2,000 times.
When buying this thing, Luo Hao never thought that this thing would be so valuable.
This is also considered his unintentional gain. He had at least known the value of the previous bargaining. Only this time, he bought it purely because of the different carving techniques.
Luo Hao had no doubt about Li Zhirong's words.
What Li Zhirong said was not possible, but should, which means he was very sure. With Li Zhirong's eyesight, he would not misjudgment such things.
In the identification of European and American antiques, Li Zhirong is definitely one of the top people.
Moreover, the carving of this work is indeed good. Those who can achieve such carving must be master-level.
Luo Hao Baidu's story of Benini. His life is consistent with the feedback given by ancient knowledge. This girl sculpture has a 95% possibility, which is Benini's work.
Luo Hao admired his luck very much when he went out for a walk and could pick up a big leak.
He Pingjiang didn't come back until the evening. Looking at the smile on his face, he knew that things were done.
In fact, Luo Hao had some objections to this study. He was unwilling to teach him. He was unwilling to learn anymore. What was it to hide?
Unfortunately, He Pingjiang insisted that he could not disappoint the master who cared about him, so he could only wait with him.
Although Luo Hao has never called him a master, in his heart, He Pingjiang is his master. Like Shang Xin and Li Zhirong, they are his mentors.
Li Yizhi is 60 years old this year, the youngest among the four top masters of the Southern School.
It is also the most casual one.
It is said that when he was young, he had a lot of luck in love. He was only at 40 that he was completely at ease and got married and had children.
Li Yizhi is very strange and has no assessment of Luo Hao, but he really taught Luo Hao a lot of things.
Li Yizhi is good at carving, and his level is indeed top-notch. Luo Hao completed his studies in three days.
Luo Hao's learning speed made Li Yizhi, who has a very strange personality, admire him very much.
He Pingjiang returned to Pingzhou, and Luo Hao stayed at He Pingjiang's home for two days.
I didn't say much to Luo Hao and He Pingjiang, only sighing.
In just half a month, Luo Hao has learned so much, and now he is better than his master. Luo Hao's current works are no longer inferior to him.
Even said that it is stronger than him, after all, Luo Hao integrates the essence of four top masters.
The jade carving competition three months later was when Luo Hao became famous. I believe that at that time, Luo Hao would definitely shock all his colleagues in the jade carving world and become famous in one fell swoop.
...
Hong Kong Island, train station.
After Luo Hao left the station, he saw Li Zhirong waiting for him.
"Master!"
"I'm here, let's talk about it when I get home!"
Li Zhirong smiled and wanted to help Luo Hao carry his luggage, but Luo Hao refused. He was a young man, so how could he ask his elderly master to help him get things?
Li Zhirong's home is not big or small, with three bedrooms and two living rooms. The location is very good, not far from Central.
With his financial resources, it is not that he can't afford a better house, but that he invests in artworks.
"Take the stuff and take a look!"
When he returned home, Li Zhirong immediately asked Luo Hao to take out the previous sculptures. He had only seen them in the photos before and could fully confirm them after getting started.
After watching for a while, Li Zhirong raised his head and sighed and said:
"That's right, it's a work by Bernini, and it's also a work from his peak, but he shouldn't be very satisfied with this work, so he didn't leave his name!"
There are indeed some flaws in this work, but these flaws do not affect the value of the work.
"The three million I mentioned before is the lowest price. Although this work is not the pinnacle, it is also a classic masterpiece of Bernini, but unfortunately it has no signature!"
If you sign it, the price will be higher.
According to Li Zhirong's estimate, if you go to auction, it will be fine if you can get a higher price. Whether you can get a higher price depends on whether there are many people competing and how many people like this work.
But no matter what, this is a treasure worth tens of millions of yuan.
Li Zhirong really doesn't know how to evaluate Luo Hao's luck. When he goes out to learn jade carving, he can still pick up such a big leak.
"Master, if you like it, I'll give it to you!"
Luo Hao now knows a lot about foreign artworks, and Li Zhirong treats him sincerely. Although this thing is worth tens of millions, many times, friendship is something that money cannot buy.
He would never regret giving it to Li Zhirong, not to mention that Li Zhirong had given it to Shi Qingyun the imperial green jadeite with such high value.
"I am very content with this filial piety. If you keep this work yourself, you don't have a single top foreign artwork in your hand, that won't work!"
Li Zhirong didn't ask for Luo Hao's things, and sculptures were not his favorite. Luo Hao was willing to give him such a valuable thing, which made him very satisfied.
"How are you learning jade carving?"
After talking about the sculpture, Li Zhirong took the opportunity to ask about his jade carving.
Luo Hao's talent for jade carvings was the first to discover and introduce him.
"I learned a lot, but I feel it's not enough. I have more to learn!"
Luo Hao answered honestly, what he said was a psychological word. Fortunately, He Pingjiang was not here, so if he was there, he would knock his head.
In such a short time, I learned all their special skills, but I still couldn’t say enough. How can I learn enough?
Is it okay to achieve a master like Lu Zigang?
"You don't have to be humble. I heard from Lao He that you are no longer inferior to him now. You can learn so much in such a short time. To be honest, I was surprised!"
Li Zhirong smiled and shook his head. Luo Hao's talent is really strong.
After a while, Li Zhirong did not waste time and began to tell him about the history of Europe and the United States.
It is said that it is Europe and the United States, but it is mainly Europe. After all, the Eagle Kingdom has only been established for many years and there is not so much history at all. Even if there is, it is the history of the Indians.
Europe is different. It has a history of two or three thousand years from the ancient Roman era to the present. In the early days of Europe, there were indeed some good civilizations, but they were all destroyed in history.
Let’s talk about history first, then things.
Li Zhirong's speech was very vivid, and Luo Hao listened with relish, as if he had returned to the days when he studied with Shangxin.
He likes studying like this, but unfortunately such time always passes quickly.
Half a month later, Li Zhirong had to announce that Luo Hao had become a master, and Luo Hao's understanding and learning ability were definitely something he had never seen in his life.
No, I haven't heard of it.
Shang Xin really introduced him to a baby apprentice.
"How many days are you having fun in Hong Kong Island?"
After finishing his studies, Luo Hao immediately said goodbye and wanted to return to the capital.
This time he left the capital for more than a month. Apart from the winter and summer vacations he was in school, this was the longest time he left.
There are still many things he needs to do in the capital. The new antique shop and the special operations department owed him two primary exercises, as well as his essence and blood, also need to be refined into a spiritual pill in exchange for more useful things.
"Master, I'll have fun next time I have time!"
Luo Hao smiled and refused, Li Zhirong did not force him. He knew that Luo Hao had been out for a long time and it was time to go back.
It was his heart that there was a hint of reluctance.
"Master, if you are fine, go to the capital more often in the future. My house is very big and the community environment is good. I believe you will like it!"
"Okay, if you have time, I will definitely go there!"
