Zhao Zhongxiang made a rule for himself: all calligraphy and paintings should be sold, but not sent, and each painting should be clearly marked with a price of 10000 yuan and 4000 photos. Zhao Zhongxiang has a mansion in Beijing's Third Ring Road, which is four stories high and covers an area of 1, over 200 square meters. It is specially used to store all kinds of famous paintings and calligraphy collected by him.
He was estimated to be worth about 500 million pounds. So he installed surveillance cameras around the house. After Zhao Zhongxiang retired, he became more interested in collecting calligraphy, painting and antiques. In order to collect more calligraphy and painting antiques, he began to commercialize himself. Sometimes thousands of dollars, sometimes hundreds of thousands of dollars
Of course, some people questioned him: as an old artist, he spared no effort to collect money, but he said: I make money by myself, and others are willing to buy it. Why not? Although Zhao Zhongxiang earns a lot of money, he is actually a very thrifty person.
Ni Ping once told reporters: Although Mr. Zhao is worth a lot, he is a very thrifty person. He sent more than a dozen clothes when he advertised, and he would take turns wearing them on his body. Once, Zhao Zhongxiang wanted to invite Ni Ping to dinner. Ni Ping was very happy after hearing this, so Miss Zhao finally agreed to treat him.
Who knows to Ni Ping's surprise, when she came to Zhao Zhongxiang's house with something, Zhao Zhongxiang didn't prepare anything. Ni Ping asked Zhao Zhongxiang: Teacher Zhao, where is the big meal you prepared for me? As a result, Zhao Zhongxiang said to Ni Ping: I drank too much yesterday and forgot. Anyway, you're here, and there's still slag noodles in the refrigerator. Let me do it for you.
I wanted him to treat himself well, but as a result, a bowl of noodles was sent away, which made Ni Ping depressed for a long time. So, when Wang Han offered to send calligraphy and painting to Zhao Zhongxiang, Ni Ping knew that Zhao Zhongxiang would be reluctant, so when Zhao Zhongxiang refused Wang Hanshi, Ni quickly came to help them out.
