If he receives this money, how can he stay in the circle of literati in the future?

Oh, Mr. Qi asked him to help with the painting, and he finally charged the money? Who will "play" with him in the future?

In the future, if others ask him for help, will he also give him money? If he asks others to help, will he also give him money? Once the money is involved in it, the friendship between literati will become worse.

Although everyone likes money, no one wants to get involved in this smell of money. - Literati is the nature of urination, in today's words, it is: both right and stand up!

But if you say that this is Cheng Yi given to the teacher by the younger generation, then you have to take the money, you have to take it, and it won’t be enough if you don’t take it.

If you don’t use it, you will be hitting someone in the face and refuting someone’s face. If you don’t do it well, you will offend someone and make enemies with them.

Even for Mr. Qi's sake, Mr. Fan could not refuse the money.

Mr. Fan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, sighing that Tang Weidong was generous and open-minded.

This is 20,000 US dollars. Even if his paintings can be sold for hundreds of thousands of yuan, they are not as expensive as the 20,000 US dollars at this time.

The relevant domestic departments have very strict regulations on the limit for exchange of foreign currencies. Moreover, the cash carried abroad, especially foreign currencies, is also limited.

Therefore, it does not mean that if an individual has money in the country, he can exchange foreign currency at will.

To Mr. Fan, Tang Weidong was like a timely help for so many dollars. This matter made Mr. Fan impeccable!

Looking at the 20,000 US dollars of cash on the table, Mr. Fan moved his mouth and finally said, "Xiao Tang, I have accepted your wishes. However, there is indeed a bit too much money..."

Tang Weidong laughed and said, "I still have some foreign currencies in my hands. I can't use them anyway. Teachers may need them more than me when they go abroad, so I'll give them to you."

"This..." Mr. Fan hesitated for a moment and said again: "Then, why don't I exchange it with you. This is not a small amount. I can't take your money for nothing, or spread it out.

, Others should say that I bully the small one by one and make the younger generation cheaper.”

Tang Weidong smiled and shook his head, "Master Fan, you said this to me in the face. If you say that, I would be embarrassed to take your ink-splash Zhong Kui."

"You send me a painting and I offer Cheng Yi. Only then can we be considered to have come and go."

Mr. Fan was not a shy person either. After pondering for a while, he nodded and said, "Okay, Xiao Tang, I will accept your feelings. After I go back, I will ask your husband on my behalf."

People greeted their teachers and as junior disciples, Tang Weidong immediately stood up and expressed his gratitude to Mr. Fan in a serious manner.

After leaving Mr. Fan's house, Tang Weidong took this huge portrait of Zhong Kui and ran back to the museum happily, and hired the best craftsman to frame it.

While Tang Weidong was waiting for the ink-splashing Zhong Kui to be mounted, the first fake painting case in China also came to an end.

This is a painting signed by Mr. Wu Guanzhong, Duoyunxuan in Shanghai and Hangkang Yongcheng Antique Auction Co., Ltd., auctioned.

At the beginning of the auction, even though Mr. Wu repeatedly told them, he even formally notified Duoyunxuan with a notice and a notice letter that this painting was not his work, but was forged by someone else.

However, Duoyun Xuanyi still auctioned with Yongcheng Antique Auction Co., Ltd. and even issued an expert appraisal opinion, saying that this was Mr. Wu's work, which caused the fake to be purchased by others for 528,000 yuan in Hong Kong.

The angry Mr. Wu filed a lawsuit directly in the court, and he naturally won.

The two defendants not only had to compensate Mr. Wu for 73,000 yuan in infringement expenses, but also had to bear the litigation expenses. In addition, the illegal gains of 48,000 yuan they made from the auction of fake paintings were not confiscated.

Not only that, the two companies were fined 50,000 yuan and 30,000 yuan respectively for auctioning fake paintings.

This is not an isolated case. In recent years, fake paintings have been flooded with severe numbers, almost destroying the reputation of Chinese painting. The industry is calling for rectification of the market, but appeals and criticisms are of no use and are of no use

.

This is also the reason why Tang Weidong had to learn skills from the old experts in the museum. There are too many fakes and it is hard to guard against.

It’s good to say that the author can just come out and refute directly. If it were those ancient paintings, it wouldn’t be that simple.

It was also while Mr. Wu was suing the auction, another fake painting case was also under trial.

This is a painting of Zhang Daqian's "Imitation of the Landscape of Shixi", which was sold by Mr. Wang Dinglin, general manager of Zhejiang Zhongao Textile Co., Ltd. in October for 1.1 million yuan at the Lin'an autumn auction.

On the right side of the painting is the inscription by Mr. Xie Zhiliu, a famous appraiser in Shanghai, and on the left side of the painting is the inscription by Mr. Xu Bangda, a famous appraiser in Beijing.

Shortly after buying "Imitation of Shixi Landscape Picture", Wang Dinglin discovered that he had sold the same painting at the auction in Yingzhou. He was hesitant and directly found Mr. Xu Bangda himself to verify and asked him to make a picture.

Identification.

Mr. Xu made a firm conclusion that his inscription was true, but not in this painting, it was "grafted" by someone to transplant flowers and wood, so this painting is fake!

Based on Mr. Xu's appraisal opinion, Wang Dinglin asked the auction company to return the goods. The auction company had no choice but to go to their company's appraisal consultant Mr. Xie Zhiliu for the appraisal.

Mr. Xie, who has always been known for his rigor, repeatedly examined it and identified that "it is undoubtedly confirmed that this picture is the original", and said that his inscription on it was the best appraisal certificate.

Now there is no way to do it. The two people who wrote the inscriptions, one said it was true and the other said it was false. Both sides had their own opinions, and it was difficult to distinguish the authenticity.

Seeing this situation, Wang Dinglin was even more afraid to ask for the painting, so he asked for a return. The auction company used Mr. Xie's appraisal opinion as a reason, but refused to return it.

Wang Dinglin, who was so angry, went directly to the court to sue, and the lawsuit between the two parties lasted for four years.

Until the last day of the 98th year, more than ten calligraphy and painting appraisal experts from across the country, including Mr. Qi Gong, director of the Cultural Relics Appraisal Committee, Liu Jiu'an, and others, gave Zhang Daqian's "Imitation of Shixi Landscape Picture" to the Supreme Court.

After the identification, it was unanimously agreed that the work was a fake, and this matter came to an end.

No wonder Ma Feng never touches calligraphy and painting. There is a reason for this.

Calligraphy and painting are not like other things. They are too many fakes and are too easy. No one can guarantee the authenticity. Just like Mr. Xu and Mr. Xie, the husband said that his mother has his own reason and even experts are like this, let alone ordinary people.

It's human.
