Mr. Fang was reading a painting when he was suddenly disturbed. He suddenly felt angry and shouted without thinking too much.
Mr. Fang's son and apprentice looked at each other with helplessness on their faces. The old man forgot everything as soon as he saw the painting. Among these people, there were obviously people who knew Li Yang. If they closed the door at this time, it would not be a direct offense.
person.
The two of them looked at Li Yang again, with a look of apology in their eyes. Li Yang was fine, and he could understand Mr. Fang's mood at this time.
"Mr. Fang, don't, don't close the door, it's me, I'm Xiao Huang!"
Someone hurriedly shouted at the door and quickly squeezed to the front. This was a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties, slightly stout and wearing a white long coat.
Now that April is approaching, the weather in Beijing is starting to get warmer, so this kind of coat is quite suitable.
It's just that when he calls himself Xiao Huang, it feels a bit funny.
"Xiao Huang?"
Mr. Fang looked back at him, nodded slightly, then turned back to look at the ancient paintings without paying any attention to them.
Mr. Fang's apprentice hurriedly walked up and explained in a low voice: "Senior Brother Huang, please come in. My master is like this. He forgets everything he sees and likes!"
The middle-aged man surnamed Huang immediately nodded, and several people behind him followed him in. Taking advantage of this moment, Mr. Fang's apprentice also closed the door to prevent anyone from coming in.
"Li Yang, why are you here?" The tall girl standing in the middle had been paying attention to Li Yang and asked first after coming in.
Li Yang pointed to the ancient painting hanging and whispered: "I have a painting that needs to be repaired, so I came to Mr. Fang for help!"
"This, is this a painting by Tang Bohu?"
"Picture of a hundred birds facing the phoenix!"
Before the girl could speak, she screamed a few times. The fat man named Huang and several others walked up to Mr. Fang and stood behind him blankly.
Hearing these two names, the girl turned around quickly and stared blankly at the painting that she had not paid much attention to just now.
Not to mention anything else, the three words "Tang Bohu" were already attractive enough. After the few people who followed in saw the painting, they could no longer walk away and they all gathered around it.
Li Yang chuckled and shook his head, then asked the girl in front of him: "Miss Chen, why are you here?"
The tall girl in front of him is none other than Chen Wei, the host of "Huayu Collection" whom Li Yang met in Hong Kong. She is also a fellow countryman of Li Yang. The last time she interviewed Yuan Qinghua, she had many interactions with her.
Chen Wei turned back and stretched out her hand, and immediately said: "We are here to participate in the Poly Spring Auction. There are many exquisite products in the Poly Spring Auction. The station specially organized a delegation of experts to take a look!"
Poly spring auction?
Li Yang nodded silently. Poly is a well-known auction company in China. It was established not long ago, only seven or eight years ago, but now it has achieved the status of a big brother in the industry.
When he first founded the auction company, Zheng Kaida said that he would learn from Poly and make it bigger and stronger domestically, and then go global.
Li Yang had heard about Poly's spring auction. Poly company had been preparing for a long time, making the spring auction a good start for this year. It was also preparing to break many previous records and create a glory that belongs to Poly.
There were more than 2,900 auction items in this spring auction alone, and the entire auction lasted for more than a week. An auction of this scale was indeed beyond what Li Yang and his auction company could compare to.
"Mr. Li, you just said that this painting belongs to you?"
Chen Wei asked suddenly. When facing Li Yang directly, she became a little more cautious.
After all, the two hadn't seen each other for a year, and they had no contact since the interview with Yuan Qinghua.
Li Yang smiled and nodded, saying: "Yes, there are some problems with this painting. I would like to ask Mr. Fang for help to repair it!"
Chen Wei nodded enviously: "Tang Bohu's paintings are extremely rare. I never thought you would have one in your hands!"
While talking, Chen Wei looked up at Li Yang again. When she saw Li Yang just now, she was really pleasantly surprised.
Li Yang left a deep impression on her a year ago, and during this year, Li Yang's development exceeded her imagination, making the name Li Yang deeply engraved in her heart.
There are no other feelings here, just pure curiosity and admiration for a person.
Especially at this Canadian Treasure Appraisal Conference, Li Yang showed his prestige to the people of the country and brought the national jade seal to the world. It really gained a lot of face and reminded Chen Wei of this magical man.
Just before coming to Beijing, Chen Wei once thought about whether she would meet Li Yang here. Unexpectedly, this unrealistic idea came true, and she unexpectedly met Li Yang in Liulichang.
This time she came to Liulichang because the experts were bored and came out for a walk. Chen Wei didn't want to come at first. It was only after several experts invited her to gain some knowledge that she followed. Looking at it now, she really came to the right place.
"It's just luck!" Li Yang smiled, and now Mr. Fang reluctantly walked to the other side of the painting.
Four men came in with Chen Wei. Mr. Fang walked to the other side, and they all followed.
"This, what is this?"
"Qiu, Qiu Ying's paintings, Tang Bohu's inscriptions and postscripts!"
Someone else screamed, and Mr. Fang's son and apprentice had a faint smile on their lips. Anyone who saw this painting would do this. They were the ones who lost their composure just now, and now it's their turn.
The four people who came in, plus Elder Fang, all stood on the side of Qiu Yinghua, watching quietly, no one spoke.
"Mr. Li, what's going on?"
Chen Wei frowned and turned around to ask Li Yang in surprise. Several people stood behind the painting and screamed like this, which made her very confused.
From her position, the other side is the back.
Li Yang chuckled, shook his head, and explained the situation of the painting a little. Chen Wei's eyes slowly widened, and her small mouth slowly opened wider.
The double-sided painting was done at the same time by Tang Bohu and Qiu Ying. It was like a tale from Arabian Nights, but since this came from Li Yang, she couldn't help but not believe it.
Li Yang would not joke with her on such an issue. Chen Wei slowly walked to the other side of the painting, and her little cherry mouth opened wider.
This painting really has both sides.
"Xiao Li, give me a day and I can fix it for you!"
After carefully appreciating it, Mr. Fang slowly said that there was no major damage to the double-sided painting. The main reason was that Li Yang had taken off the painting paper on the back and wanted to frame it again.
This kind of repair is very simple, not to mention them, even ordinary framers can do it.
However, Li Yang can only put people at ease with such a painting if it is handed over to Mr. Fang.
"Mr. Fang, you can just do whatever you want, time doesn't matter?"
Li Yang said softly that he was really not in a hurry to take this painting back. It would be best if it could be framed well. Moreover, the restoration work was left to Mr. Fang, so Li Yang was 200% assured.
"Okay, I'm going to start working, you guys get busy first!"
Mr. Fang nodded and ignored Li Yang's reaction, let alone the people in the room. He took the painting and walked to the back. For him, work is the biggest thing now.
In the store, only Fang Lao's son and apprentice were left.
"Mr. Li, Senior Brother Huang, I'm so sorry, Master, he has such a temper!"
Mr. Fang’s son-apprentice smiled awkwardly again. Mr. Fang’s apprentice was named Yan Weiguo. He followed Mr. Fang since he was a child, and he was almost like his son. Later, Yan Weiguo studied at the Academy of Fine Arts, and after graduation he returned to Mr. Fang.
"It doesn't matter, Mr. Fang is really good-natured!"
The man surnamed Huang shook his head vigorously. When he looked inside, he was still a little envious. The double-sided painting of Tang Bohu and Qiu Ying was brought inside by Mr. Fang. At least it cannot be seen now.
"Mr. Li, let me introduce you!"
Chen Wei suddenly whispered something and introduced the four men who came with her to Li Yang one by one. I have to say that the atmosphere at the scene would be much more lively if there was a girl, especially since Chen Wei was also a host.
, which makes several people appear harmonious.
Through Chen Wei's introduction, Li Yang knew that the man named Huang was Huang Ding, a professor at the Zhejiang Academy of Fine Arts and a famous domestic calligraphy and painting connoisseur.
This reputation is also limited. At least Huang Ding has not participated in the first-class expert exchange conference, and Li Yang has not met him.
Huang Ding and Fang Lao's apprentice Yan Weiguo were once brothers. Huang Ding also visited Fang Lao several times and got to know him. It was his idea to come to Fang Lao's shop this time. When he arrived at Liulichang, he naturally
I want to come to visit Mr. Fang.
But no one expected to see such a rare ancient painting here.
Huang Ding and the other three experts are all members of the "Huayu Collection" expert team. Bai Ming and Mao Lao have gradually withdrawn from "Huayu Collection" since the second half of last year. They will only go to special programs.
join.
Huang Ding and others are the newly invited experts.
When Chen Wei introduced Huang Ding and the others, she was very ordinary, but when she introduced Li Yang, she was very solemn. Everyone looked at Li Yang with big eyes.
It can be said that Li Yang is very different now from before. Everyone in the collection industry knows about this International Treasure Appraisal Conference. Naturally, they all know that this International Treasure Appraisal Conference has won a lot of competition for the Chinese people.
Great honor for Li Yang.
Li Yang's honor is not only the treasures he brought, but also Li Yang's excellent performance.
In the entire treasure appraisal conference, there were only four people who had not made mistakes in appraising all the collections. These four people represent the top international standards, and among them, there is Li Yang.
International top, although Huang Ding and others are experts, they are all young experts. They don't even dare to claim to be the top in the country, let alone the top in the world.
But the Li Yang in front of them is already a world-recognized top international expert.
When Chen Wei introduced him, no one dared to look down upon Li Yang because of his youth. On the contrary, there was excitement in the eyes of a few people.
