That year, Ma Weidu participated in an auction and found a "red deer head" with a starting price of 800,000, thinking that it was so cheap? Wanting to buy it, someone quietly told him: "That's a copy, don't be fooled." ”
Ma Wei was very curious, how to look at it did not look like a fake, carefully observed several times, to determine that this is the real thing.
He felt strange, since it was genuine, did the identification team look away? Think about those experts who also have eyes, sometimes treat the real thing as a copy, and collect the imitation as the real thing, this kind of thing he has encountered.
Ma Weidu wanted to really hit the eye this time, that is, to treat the real thing as a fake, and look away.
So, he discussed with the staff, don't auction it, I can buy it, the staff said no, has issued an announcement, can not withdraw.
Ma Weidu wanted to shoot it, anyway, only he knew that it was genuine, even the expert group thought it was fake, who would pay such a high price to buy fakes?
Therefore, he auctioned the price of 1.2 million, only 1 million, thinking that he could win, or lost.
Ma Weidu collection has just started, so he simply does not have so much money, he starts at 800,000, but some people bid 850,000, 900,000 950,000, the price has risen continuously, Ma Weidu shouted out 1 million, someone came out 110, Ma Weidu was anxious, desperate, shouted out 1.2 million.
He only has 1 million, plans to borrow another 200,000 with friends, determined to get, but unfortunately someone paid a higher price, 1.4 million, Ma Weidu can only watch others take this treasure away, did not shoot it.
Later, he saw the news, this red deer head, in a foreign country auctioned 12 million, really regret it, the national treasure fell abroad, at that time, he had so much money, he could keep the treasure at home.
Since then, he has also paid special attention to it, paying special attention to wherever he goes, and can no longer hesitate, once when he traveled abroad, he found that there was a blue and white fruit tree pattern double-tube bottle, which was produced in Jingdezhen during the Kangxi Period.
Very rare, few people have seen it, and even some very professional people have played with a lifetime of collection, and this kind of bottle is rarely seen.
However, discovered by Ma Weidu, this bottle catered to the flavor of Europeans, the style of apple trees, and it was also an understanding of European culture that Chinese at that time, and it was also a bit European.
Maybe at that time with the Europeans to do business, according to the preferences of the Europeans specially made for them a vase, has a commemorative significance, has Chinese and Western artistic characteristics, he did not hesitate to pick up the leak to buy back, put it in his museum, someone for 10 million he also refused to sell.
Ma Weidu later established the Guangfu Museum, with three pavilions, one in Beijing, one in Shanghai, and one in Xiamen, and the museum in Beijing, most of which is more porcelain from the Ming and Qing dynasties, as well as Ming and Qing furniture.
The museum in Shanghai consisted mainly of porcelain and various treasures in Buddhist shapes, and the pavilion in Xiamen was later closed for some reason.
Ma Weidu's Guanfu Museum has thousands of pieces, some people say that the value is 100 billion, Ma Weidu once said that if the things in the Guanfu Museum are willing to sell, the pieces are sky-high, but he loves cultural relics more than money, take money out to buy back cultural relics, and sell them he is unwilling.
Among them, 5 treasures of the town hall, each of which is a national treasure, the plum bottle of the Song Cizhou kiln, the pastel vase of the Qianlong official kiln, the throne of the emperor, the huanghuali hundred treasures embedded in the dragon bed, the character partition fan of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which has landscape patterns, and also draws 202 characters of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which are vivid and extremely precious.
Ma Weidu collected everyone, in order to protect cultural relics, protect national treasures, did his own little effort, he once said that he will donate all the cultural relics in the future, not left to future generations, is a collector with a pattern and foresight, what do you think of him?
