There is such a lucky story in modern times. A very shrewd businessman spent 200 million yuan to buy a restaurant, but found a painting in the store, which made him laugh. Hotel is free! ? This kind of story is really amazing.
In this beautiful place, Hangzhou West Lake, there is a hotel called Hangzhou Xizi Lakeside Overseas Chinese Hotel. It is located next to the West Lake. It has a very exquisite and magnificent building and is very atmospheric, attracting countless tourists and overseas Chinese. Established in 1959, this hotel has changed hands for several years.
2/kloc-0 At the beginning of the century, a businessman from Guangsha, Zhejiang Province passed by the West Lake and was deeply attracted by this hotel. The merchant's eyes were keenly aware of the good geographical location and business opportunities here, and immediately publicly bought its ownership at a high price of 200 million yuan, but many people did not think it was a good deal.
Everything changed when the businessman took out a painting from the hotel. After several changes of ownership, hotel management was neglected. This painting has never been taken out since 1979 was put into storage. It was a very accidental coincidence that the merchants found it.
After identification, this painting is actually the original Chu Qing of the famous painter Pan Tianshou! 1958, Mr. Pan Tianshou and his close friend Wu Bozhi were invited to paint the opening of the Overseas Chinese Hotel in Hangzhou West Lake. They agreed to paint in a uniform specification, Pan Tianshou painted Chu Qing, and Wu Bozhi even created the Celebration Fair. The two paintings were hung on the left and right sides of the hotel lobby until 1979 for better preservation.
Mr Pan Tianshou was born in 1897. He taught himself calligraphy, painting and seal cutting since childhood, showing amazing talent. 19 15 went to Zhejiang first normal college to study, studied fine arts under Li Shutong and Jing Ziyuan, and served as a professor at Shanghai Academy of Fine Arts from 65438 to 0923, and later as a professor at Xinhua Academy of Fine Arts.
Pan Tianshou has made great achievements on the road of art, and he appreciates it? Four monks in the early Qing Dynasty? One of Shi Taohe? Eight eccentrics in Yangzhou? Is Zheng Banqiao proficient in Chinese painting by constantly learning and understanding the artistic skills of these predecessors? Flowers, birds and landscapes? , famous.
Chuqing 14 1 cm high and 365 cm wide. According to Lu Kui, the former director of Pan Tianshou Memorial Hall, it is an innovative large-scale horizontal scroll work, which breaks the traditional classification of painting projects and organically combines landscape painting with flower-and-bird painting composition. This work is undoubtedly a magnificent masterpiece, and it will be the finale no matter where it is placed. ?
197 1 On September 5th, 2008, Mr. Pan Tianshou died of illness. So far, Chu Qing's painting has not been made public. This painting disappeared for 40 years after 1979 was taken by the hotel and was forgotten by the world. It was not until 1997 that Mr. Pan's son Pan edited the Collection of Pan Tianshou Paintings and Calligraphy, and the second volume was first published in the form of black and white pictures.
20 19165438+1Autumn Auction of 2019 held in Guardian, China on the evening of October 8th? Grand view? China painting and calligraphy treasures night? Modern? The original Chu Qing was sold at a high price of 65.438+79 million yuan, and it was finally sold at 205.85 million yuan.

Looking back now, I have to admire the businessman in Guangsha, Zhejiang Province. His eyes are really sharp and smart, and his luck is enviable. The value of this painting alone has exceeded the whole hotel, so no one will say that this is a bad deal. Luck has come, and it is unstoppable.
