200 million yuan is not a small sum. Why did Lou Zhongfu say that? It turned out to be because of a painting hanging in the hotel. This painting has a long history. At the beginning, there was nothing in the Overseas Chinese Hotel in Hangzhou, which naturally needed some decoration, so the manager at that time invited two painters from Zhejiang Academy of Fine Arts to paint.

The other is Pan Tianshou, whose painting is called Chu Qing.

After the development and changes of the times, even museums now have painting tools they have used. 20 15 the starting price of Mr. Pan Tianshou's "The Flower Map of Eagle Stone Mountain" was as high as 68 million yuan, and it was finally sold for 243 million yuan due to fierce competition.
