Zhang Yang was holding the Xuande stove and the painting. He had just walked a few steps when an old man followed him and said, "Young man, young man."
Zhang Yang looked back at the old man, as if he was right next to him when he bought the painting just now, and asked: "Old man, what can I do for you?"
The old man asked: "Young man, can I see the painting you just bought?"
Zhang Yang thought. Could it be that this old man was a master and he could tell the authenticity and wanted to buy it from himself? Zhang Yang bought antiques just to make money. At this time, he had no intention of collecting them, so he smiled and said: "No problem.
, let’s go to the edge.”
The two found a corner, and Zhang Yang handed the landscape painting to the old man.
The old man carefully opened the painting, examined it carefully, then put it away and asked: "Young man, how about you give me this painting?"
"If you always want to buy it, of course there is no problem. It depends on the price you offer." Zhang Yang said.
The old man thought for a while and said, "You just spent three thousand yuan. Is it okay if I give you five thousand yuan and make two thousand yuan from it?"
Zhang Yang couldn't help laughing and asked curiously: "Old man, you are interested in this painting. Why didn't you make a move when we were negotiating the price just now? If it's two thousand more than me, he should sell it to you."
."
The old man looked at Zhang Yang with some confusion. He had also noticed the Xuande incense burner just now. It was also a good masterpiece. He was 70% to 80% sure that this painting was an authentic work by Dong Qichang. Logically speaking, based on this performance,
Zhang Yang should be a young game master, so why would he ask such an uninitiated question?
"Young man, there is a rule in the antique shop, that is, once you get something, others can only look at it and not talk about it, unless the other person doesn't want it anymore," the old man said.
Zhang Yang said, "It turns out there is still such a rule. No wonder the old man wanted to buy this painting from him."
"Old man, the price you offered is a bit low, so be it, you can take it if you like!" Zhang Yang imitated the boss and raised a finger.
"Ten thousand?" The old man was so happy that he agreed.
Zhang Yang shook his head and said: "One hundred thousand. Dong Qichang's authentic work must cost one hundred thousand!"
The old man looked at Zhang Yang in surprise and asked, "You think this is an authentic work?"
"Of course it's not authentic, why should I buy it?" Zhang Yang said with a smile.
The old man exhaled a breath and said, "Are you so sure that this is an authentic work?"
"It's more than 400 years old. Even if it's not Dong Qichang's original work, it's not much different!" Zhang Yang said. Although he couldn't identify the authenticity of the painting from the brush tip, paper and other things, he could determine the age.
It must be seventy-seven or eighty-eight.
When the old man heard what Zhang Yang said, he knew that his idea of picking up the leaks was impossible to realize. But he really liked Dong Qichang's landscape paintings, especially Zhang Yang's which was very well preserved and was a rare masterpiece. Dong Qichang's
The auction prices of landscape paintings are not high, not because his paintings are not valuable, but because it is too difficult to determine the authenticity. Once the authentic paintings are confirmed, they will be auctioned for sky-high prices.
If you think so, the 100,000 yuan that Zhang Yang wants is not too high, but he is only 70-80% sure and is not sure. The old man hesitated, but Zhang Yang was not in a hurry. It would be good if the business can be successful, but if not, he will hang up after the store decoration is completed.
In the store, it is authentic after all, and sooner or later someone will recognize the product.
"Young man, what do you think if I find a friend to help me with my eyes?" the old man said.

Zhang Yang smiled and said: "Old man, if it can be confirmed that it is authentic, I will not sell it for 100,000 yuan."
Hearing this, the old man almost vomited blood, and then he remembered that Zhang Yang was an outsider. Such a person is the most troublesome. He doesn't follow the rules of the antique shop at all, and he raises prices as casually as drinking water.
"What do you mean?" the old man asked.
Zhang Yang smiled and said: "You buy one hundred thousand now. If you find someone to read it and you still want to buy it, I will add another hundred thousand. If you agree, we will find a place to wait for your friend to come. If you don't agree, we will go our separate ways."
All directions."
The old man looked at the scroll and thought for a full minute before nodding and agreeing: "Okay, two hundred thousand is two hundred thousand."
Zhang Yang laughed and said: "Okay, that's great. Let's go to the teahouse and sit down!"
While sitting in the teahouse waiting for others, Zhang Yang learned that the old man's surname was Shao and that he was a university professor. His favorite was Dong Qichang's landscape paintings. Although he liked them, he was not good at appraising them. He bought a few paintings that seemed to be Dong Qichang's paintings and went back to find someone.
After identification, they were all fakes, so he didn't dare to buy it easily now. However, the painting in Zhang Yang's hand gave him a really good feeling, and he couldn't let it go, so he agreed to Zhang Yang's request.
After listening, Zhang Yang shook his head. Hobby is such a harmful thing. Once you are obsessed with something, people will not be swayed by reason. For example, the highest auction record for Dong Qichang's landscape painting was only 13,000 US dollars.
The old man was willing to pay 200,000 yuan for less than 100,000 yuan. You can only imagine how obsessed he was.
Half an hour later, a fat middle-aged man walked into the teahouse. Professor Shao said hello and sat down.
Zhang Yang felt that he looked familiar, and suddenly he had an idea and said in surprise: "Are you Teacher Jin from the treasure hunt column?"
Jin Yunchang smiled and said: "Hello!" Then he looked at Professor Shao and said: "Old Shao, I have told you several times that if I have a chance, I will help you pay attention to Dong Qichang's authentic works. Why do you still come to Panjiayuan?
."
Professor Shao said: "Old Jin, please help me take a look at this painting first. I think it is authentic."
Jin Yunchang smiled, then looked at Zhang Yang and said, "Little friend, I can take a look!"
"Please!" Zhang Yang said.
Zhang Yang never expected to meet a real expert here, no wonder everyone said that the antique circle is small. But if Jin Yunzhang is sure that this is an authentic work, even if Professor Shao doesn't buy it, he will not lose.
Jin Yunchang put on his gloves and carefully opened the scroll. He looked carefully, from the scroll to the paper to the brush strokes, before sitting down. Zhang Yang found that Jin Yunchang's appraisal was much slower than in the TV program.
Of course, it’s easier to work with acquaintances!
"Lao Jin, what do you think? I got it right this time, right?" Professor Shao said.
Jin Yunshang looked at Zhang Yang noncommittally and said, "Little friend, I wonder what price you want?"
"Two hundred thousand!" Zhang Yang said.
Professor Shao already regretted it at this time. He should have bought it in the first place. Looking at it like this, there was no doubt that it was genuine.
Jin Yunzhang then said to Professor Shao: "It's genuine, but the price is a bit high."
Professor Shao sighed, shook his head, looked at Zhang Yang and said, "Xiao Zhang, you are so good at business."
Zhang Yang smiled and said nothing.
Professor Shao then explained the agreement between the two of them. Jin Yunshang looked at Zhang Yang in surprise. He didn't expect that Zhang Yang had such good eyesight at a young age. However, he looked at Professor Shao and thought of his old friend who was looking for Dong Qichang's calligraphy and paintings everywhere.
scene, open
He said: "I will also call you Xiao Zhang. Xiao Zhang, this painting is an authentic work by Dong Qichang, but the price of Dong Qichang's calligraphy and paintings has never been high. The price of 100,000 is still a reasonable price. If it is higher,
It’s a little inappropriate.”
Zhang Yang said with a smile: "If Teacher Jin hadn't come to appraise it, two hundred thousand dollars would really not be worth it. But with Teacher Jin's affirmation, I believe that if this landscape painting is put up for auction, it will definitely sell for a high price."
After listening to Zhang Yang's words, Jin Yunshang and Professor Shao were stunned.
Professor Shao smiled bitterly and said: "Now I know what it means to shoot yourself in the foot."
Jin Yunzhang looked at Zhang Yang dumbfounded. On the one hand, Zhang Yang was very happy that his words were worth a hundred thousand, but because of his words, he made his old friend spend an extra hundred thousand. He really couldn't bear it. After all, Professor Shao is the university
An ordinary professor's income is not as high as his.
Zhang Yang saw the two people in a dilemma, and guessed that Professor Shao didn't have much money. He thought of a good idea, picked up the Xuande stove, put it on the table, and said to Jin Yun: "Teacher Jin, let's do this."
, please help me see if this Xuande furnace is authentic. If it is confirmed to be authentic, I will also give Dong Qichang’s landscape painting to Professor Shao for a price of 100,000."
Jin Yunzhang was furious. Zhang Yang's words were obviously filled with the idea of a deal. He was about to scold Zhang Yang, but the Xuande furnace in front of him made him swallow his words. He had never seen this Xuande furnace before.
The feeling it gave him was completely different from what he had seen before. Don’t think that these experts were completely
Relying on eyesight to distinguish authenticity, in fact, when most of them pick up the missing items, they still feel that they have stood a large part. This is a feeling cultivated after seeing too many genuine products. This Xuande stove gave Jin Yunzhang the first impression that it was genuine, and he was horrified.
Frightened, he stopped talking and moved the Xuande stove in front of him.
