Chapter 625: Buying Paintings

Yang Rui knew that at the auction, some celebrity calligraphy and paintings could easily cost tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions. Of course, such calligraphy and painting are only a handful every year, and most of them belong to those familiar names, such as Wang Xizhi, Mi Fu or Tang Bohu, Dong Qichang......

But Yang Rui is very sure that calligraphy and painting in the Ming Dynasty will not be cheap to tens of thousands of yuan, no matter how cheap they are.

And what is the asking price for calligraphy and painting in this sales department? It's just a few hundred yuan.

It is easy to increase by thousands of times, and if it is not good, it will increase by tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of times, so that Yang Rui looked at these cabinets and had all kinds of ideas churning in his head.

"Yang Rui, how do you look at these two paintings, they are both Wu Changshuo's Momei. Wu Changshuo is a master of the Republic of China, the best at painting plum, he called the painting plum sweeping plum, a bit like Mi Fu said 'brush words'. Wu Changshuo claimed to be a 'confidant of the bitter railway', and he planted dozens of plum blossoms, looked at them every day, and painted them every day...... Well, he painted more plum blossoms, but it is still a good painting, I look at these two vertical scrolls are very brilliant, it should be Wu Changshuo's brilliant work...... "Wang Yong gushed about the painting he chose, and it can be seen that he really likes it."

"That's it. Yang Rui has no opinion, anyway, he will give it away.

Lao Zheng came over to take a look, checked the price book again, and said: "These two are expensive, one pair is 165 yuan, and the other pair is 180 yuan, do you want it?"

Wang Yong hesitated for a moment and said, "It's a bit expensive." ”

Of course, he didn't mean to bargain when he said this, where would the state-run stores bargain, he really felt that it was expensive.

"Wu Changshuo's plum blossoms are indeed brilliant, but since they are given away, there is no need to force plum blossoms, Wu Changshuo's chrysanthemums should be cheaper. Wang Yong said and rummaged through the cabinet again.

The large cabinet against the wall, similar to the old-fashioned wardrobe, is made of wood, quite heavy, with carved and hollowed out double doors, and in order to keep it conveniently, it is pasted with a layer of paper and a lock.

Yes, it's just pasted paper and locked.

If it is in a modern museum, such paintings, not to mention constant temperature and humidity, at least should be placed separately and properly, at least, each painting must have its own box, no matter how it is said that it is tens of millions of things, asking for a box for yourself, the owner should agree.

However, the state-run stores in '84 didn't pay attention to these things, and from their point of view, a few hundred paintings with a large cabinet would be good, and many people didn't have such a grand cabinet when they got married.

Moreover, although the price of the painting is expensive, it is not exaggerated, as far as it is concerned, one hundred and eighty yuan is a little more than Wang Yong's monthly salary.

After 30 years, a professor's income is 10,000 yuan a month, and he can't even afford to buy paintings by contemporary painters, at most he can buy a few paintings by young artists, and in modern studios, the works of young painters are still stacked together.

Yang Rui has never been short of money since he earned 2,000 yuan in manuscript fees, in fact, his living standard in the 80s feels better than in the 21st century, therefore, Yang Rui didn't think much about Wang Yong's tangled price, seeing that he was carefully rummaging, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Professor Wang, since it is said that plum blossoms are famous, then give plum blossoms, not bad for thirty or fifty yuan." ”

"Wu Changshuo's chrysanthemums are half as cheap as plum blossoms. Lao Zheng, who was sitting at the door, said indifferently.

Yang Rui said "ah" and said, "It's less than a hundred?"

Lao Zheng gestured with his hand in the air and said, "Small-format ones." ”

"That's so much worse!" Yang Rui is not shocked by 90 yuan or eighty-two yuan and five cents, he is shocked by the cost savings of 100 or 200 paintings, he is not much money at present, but it is no problem to buy hundreds of paintings, if these paintings are put in 30 years, they will be billionaires, and they feel exciting to think about.

Wang Yongdai explained: "The painting is small, it is likely to be a practice work, and the practice of brushwork painted by young people is called practice, and after becoming famous, some people still want it, but the price cannot be like a large format." Generally speaking, large-format paintings are carefully prepared, either to give away, or to draw a new idea, and the paper and ink used are better. The larger the frame, the more expensive it is. ”

Wang Yong picked out two chrysanthemums as he spoke, and said: "These two paintings are of medium and upper standard, which are considered good in Wu Changshuo's paintings? ”

"Lao Wang's eyes are very awkward. Lao Zheng looked at the number on the painting, checked it and said: "One pair of 85, one pair of 90, do you want it?"

"Can you only take two?" Yang Rui asked Lao Zheng.

Lao Zheng said: "If you come by yourself, you won't be able to take one of them, but two are a lot." ”

"Take three, two chrysanthemums, and the bigger plum blossoms. Yang Rui smiled and strived for it.

"Seeing that you are also gentle, then you can take it. You take the ticket I issued to pay the money, pay the money, and come back to pick up the painting. Lao Zheng licked his thumb with his tongue, put a pinch on the receipt, and wrote.

After some tossing, out of the sales department, Yang Rui put away the two chrysanthemums, held Momei to Wang Yong with both hands, and said, "Professor, this painting is for you." ”

"Oh, what are you going to do for me...... Really!" Wang Yong hurriedly refused.

Yang Rui smiled and said, "I think you really like Wu Changshuo, but you must have confiscated a few paintings at home, and my wife won't buy them for you." ”

"A piece is more than a hundred, if I buy it, your wife can burn it, believe it or not. Wang Yong waved his hand and said, "Okay, you can take it back and enjoy it yourself, I want to see it, so I'll look for you." ”

"I work at Huarui, and I can't spend the salary I get, so if I give it to you, my wife won't burn it. ”

"I don't want ......"

"You just take it, I give it to other professors, you can't accept it?"

"Other professors are other professors, I never accept these gifts......"

"Professor, take it, I have a heart, I specially asked for it from others......" Yang Rui forcibly gave the Momei painting to Professor Wang Yong, feeling very happy.

Professor Wang Yong was also in a happy mood and couldn't put down Wu Changshuo in his arms.

When they went home, Professor Wang Yong unfolded Wu Changshuo's ink plum and admired it carefully, Yang Rui was not interested in artworks, but he was very interested in the great value behind artworks.

Biological research will become more and more expensive, Yang Rui does not want to return to the era of applying for funding in the eyes of people, of course, he also has to apply for funding now, but he is only applying for funding now to supplement his own research, there is no danger of life and death, and his mentality is much more relaxed.

It's really time to apply for the first phase of funding, and the experimental project that has been done for many years is about to be finished...... Yang Rui shuddered when he thought about that kind of pressure.

Why is the scientific research in the laboratory so miserable? That is the pressure transmitted from the top down by the person in charge of the laboratory.

Why does Yang Rui now have his wish come true and do whatever he wants? Try it out in a scientific research institute, there is a limit on the amount of electricity, and if you want two bottles of ink, you have to greet the logistics department, and if you want to have two bottles of ink, you have to sign by the director, and if you have a 10,000 yuan fund, you have to go to the meeting to discuss it, and you have to go to the meeting for 100,000 yuan? Young man, what are you kidding? As for the 100,000 yuan fund, it is the expenses of an ordinary scientific research institute for a year.

Peking University Tsinghua University is China's top research institution, Professor Cai is the director of the Department of Biology, and is a member of the Academy of Sciences (academician), the amount of funds he can control is one million, so it is naturally not enough to use such money to engage in world-class cutting-edge research, so Academician Cai spends most of his time every year looking for money.

Foreign researchers are also looking for money, and although they are looking for more money, it is not necessarily true to say that foreign researchers are happier.

A truly happy researcher is a researcher who is not short of money, which is also the goal pursued by Yang Rui.

At the very least, it is up to the bureaucrats to decide whether their projects survive or not, and Yang Rui feels that this should be where he surpasses his contemporaries, and it should also be his advantage.

"Let's just give you a little bit of value to science. Yang Rui looked at the unfolding of a chrysanthemum, admired it carefully, and then called Jing Cuncheng.

If you want to talk about the party's senior cadres, Comrade Wang Yong is rubbing the edges, and Comrade Jing Cuncheng must be counted.
