Luo Tian doesn't like the current size of Qifangzhai very much. It's too small. Zhou Bozhai was this size when he started. Later he made some money. Because he was nostalgic, he stuck to the old rules and never made any major reforms. Now that he has completely given away the store
Luo Tian and Zhou Bozhai were happy to have some peace and quiet. They planted flowers on the top floor every day, made tea, chatted with a few old friends, and temporarily relieved the pain of losing their beloved daughter. It was a good thing, but Zhou Bozhai could always be seen in a daze.
At this time, Luo Tian did not bother him because he knew that what Zhou Bozhai was thinking was exactly what he was thinking.
Qifangzhai is a property that Zhou Bozhai bought a long time ago. After so many years, the market value has already doubled several times. After transferring the ownership to Luo Tian, Zhou Bozhai stopped caring about Qifangzhai, so the matter of expanding the scale was
He basically ignored him, and Luo Tian would report on the progress while drinking tea with Zhou Bozhai every night.
Luo Tian purchased a store next to Qifangzhai. This store specializes in ancient books and paintings. From a distance, it looks dilapidated. The books inside are all yellow and old. The items inside are not worth much.
Yes, but Luo Tian knew that this store was also the owner's own property. He bought it later than Zhou Bozhai. The market value should be around 900,000 now. Luo Tian offered it for 1.5 million, so the owner agreed without hesitation.
This has a lot to do with the market situation of the antique street in recent years. The antique street seems to have a high flow of people, and there are many people who come to pick up items every day. However, the competition is fierce, and the cost increases, so the business of the antique shop is also ups and downs.
, this is the so-called do not open, or open for a year, but no one knows when this big one will open. Now you only need to change hands of the property, and you can get a net profit of 600,000. Such a huge thing
It's a good thing, how can the shop owner let it go?
Today the shop owner was packing up his batch of goods. He heard that he had rented a smaller store in the west of the city and reopened the business. When he saw Luo Tian coming, the shop owner greeted him enthusiastically: "Mr. Luo, I'll finish packing it right away.
Don’t be impatient yet.”
"I'm not in a hurry, I just came to take a look." Luo Tian was a little embarrassed when the shop owner said this: "I live nearby, and I came to see Boss Zhou today. I stopped by to take a look. You
I'm busy with you, so don't worry about me."
The shop owner brought Luo Tian a cup of tea, but he really didn't care. He packed up the old books and paintings with his waiter. After Luo Tian drank the tea, he was bored and wandered around the shop.
In the ancient calligraphy and painting market, there are a lot of fakes of ancient calligraphy and painting. It is not technically difficult to say that these ancient calligraphy and paintings are fake. The forger uses paper or a sharp pencil to double-mark the outline of the line. If it is a word, it is
Fill the hollow with ink, and if it is a painting, color it according to the outline of the line and compare it with the original work. Another way is to use broken calligraphy and painting, and use various methods such as digging, washing, adding, and modifying to turn the work without style into style.
Modern works are transformed into ancient works, ordinary works are transformed into works by famous artists, and the last one is the most profound, imitating the author's style and characteristics.
When Luo Tian first entered Xie's company, he recognized a painting by Zhang Daqian imitating Shi Tao. Although Zhang Daqian looked like and lifelike, he still had some of his own shadow in it. People's inherent habits and styles are difficult to distinguish.
Changed, this trick is more useful for many collectors who play calligraphy and painting, and can achieve the point where fakes are real. But for Luo Tian, all he needs to do is to find out what is wrong.
After walking around in this ancient bookstore, except for the packaged works, there were almost no authentic ones. Some of them were books published in the 1970s and 1980s, and the more recent ones were collected books published before 2005.
, there are also some that claim to be real "ancient books", but it seems that they are just ancient calligraphy and paintings that have been artificially aged. It is hard to tell the authenticity of the things in this antique street. In fact, how can real ancient books be so random?
Spread on the shelf?
Luo Tian smiled. Preserving ancient books is a profound knowledge. It requires at least three things: anti-aging, anti-insects, and anti-fouling. Where can there be so many ancient paintings and calligraphy for display in the store? He chuckled.
, just as he was about to say goodbye, the corner of his eye glanced at a dozen books that the shopkeeper was packing. The top one gave Luo Tian a strange feeling.
He stared at the past, and the ancient book at the top was surrounded by soft green light. He pretended to be nonchalant and went over to greet the shop owner. He pointed out: "This is the last batch of books. It's been packed. There shouldn't be many."
Already."
The shop owner had no doubt that he had it: "Yes, you can redecorate this place after I clear it out."
Luo Tian picked up the top volume and said, "Oh, what a pity. These books should have been here for a few years, and they left like this."
"You can't say that. People go to higher places. To be honest, the antique business is getting harder and harder to do. To be honest, I have recently made some money from these publications from the 1970s and 1980s. The real antique business
None of the paintings and calligraphy are sold, it’s difficult, it’s difficult.”
"Oh, let's do this. You can sell this book to me and keep it as a souvenir for me." Luo Tian took the opportunity to propose.
The shopkeeper's eyes suddenly stared blankly at Luo Tian, which made Luo Tian feel guilty...
