() After Li Tianbao finished speaking, he thought to himself, "Damn, thanks to my good memory, and thanks to Du Niang being strong enough, otherwise I wouldn't be able to find so many things, let alone memorizing them by rote.
After listening to Li Tianbao's words, Li Longxing couldn't help but think in his heart: "Good guy, you really have two brushes, and you have studied Shen Zhou's things clearly enough. I am trying to see if you know the market price of Shen Zhou's things in the world."
"The old man is really an expert. Even I don't understand that much. So what do you know about the prices of Shen Zhou's paintings?"
As soon as Li Tianbao heard this, he knew that Li Longxing was testing himself about the price of Shen Zhou's paintings, so that he could use this as a standard for price negotiation.
"Whenever Shen Zhou's works appear in the overseas art market, they cause a sensation, and the competition among buyers is fierce. In 2010, Shen Zhou's "Pine Window Taoist" hanging scroll launched by Beijing Jiuge Auction Company ended up with a little
The price was sold for 523 million yuan, making it one of the ten most expensive works of art that year. So it is conceivable that Shen Zhou's fine paintings are the 'king' level antiques at auctions."
Li Tianbao's words once again left Li Longxing without words to deal with. The only thing he could argue with was the difference between the auction market and the antique street market.
"Old man, you also know that this auction company is different from small traders like us, and it also charges high bidding fees, so I will tell you whether the price is suitable for you, and if it is suitable, I will give the painting
Received."
After Li Longxing finished speaking, he first raised his head and considered it, then stretched out a finger and said, "What do you think of this number?"
Li Tianbao understood that Li Longxing meant one million, but he still asked deliberately: "Ten million?"
"Old man, are you kidding me? We don't talk about the auction price of the auction company. Even if your painting is a fine painting by Shen Zhou, it is still far behind the "Pine Window Gaoshi" painting you just mentioned.
, let me add some more to you, and you can see how it goes, three million."
"Three million, you kid, you are kidding me." Li Tianbao deliberately emphasized his tone: "If it is less than six million, there is no need to discuss, and I will not accept cash, checks, transfers, etc." After saying this, Li Tianbao said
Make a gesture of leaving.
"You are truly an ancestor. Six million dollars will put you on the edge of a knife, like this."
Although Li Longxing thought the price was quite acceptable, he still put on a troubled look and said, "Please let me think about it."
After putting on a show, Li Longxing loudly said to the clerk: "Go to the bank in advance for the old man."
Li Tianbao showed a hint of secret joy and thought to himself, "Li B Longxing, you old boy has fallen into my hands now. This is only the first step. We have just begun the fun behind it."
…
Carrying 6 million in cash, Li Tianbao was afraid that his flaws would be discovered, so he did not return directly to "Fengyuantang", but returned to "Li's House" first. After taking off his makeup, Li Tianbao took a shower and changed into clothes.
Li Tianbao wiped his hair and walked out.
Wang Xiaoyu, who was waiting aside, quickly asked: "Brother Bao, how are things going?"
Li Tianbao said nothing but pointed to the large bag next to him and said: "Six million in cash is a lot."
"Oh my god, Brother Bao, you have made a lot of money again."
"You can't keep this money, and you have to rely on this money to bring down Li Longxing."
"Then what should we do next?"
"I heard Lin Meiru say that Xu Fei's 'distressed' paintings all have a mark. The top priority now is to find out what Xu Fei's distressed mark is, so that we can expose the fake paintings, or wait until the old boy sells the things
On the contrary, it made him a lot of money."
After speaking, Li Tianbao took out his cell phone and called Lin Meiru. When Lin Meiru answered the call, Li Tianbao asked straight to the point: "You said before that Xu Fei's old paintings had marks. What are those marks?"
"Why are you asking this when you have nothing to do?" Lin Meiru asked.
"Of course it's urgent. Tell me quickly about the mark."
"I don't know about this either. This is a big secret. No one knows about it except the original museums and Xu Fei himself."
Lin Meiru's voice from the mobile phone made Li Tianbao unable to accept it for a while. After he hung up the phone, he slammed the table and said: "Damn, I'm so impatient. After a long time, Xu Fei's mark is still a mystery. This
All my plans were ruined."
"Brother Bao, you can ask him directly. If you really can't use some money, we can all live together."
"If it can be solved with money, I will also use you to remind me that no matter how you ask him about Xu Fei's character, I don't think he will tell you. If he knows that I use it to set people up, he will be even less interested.
Will tell me."
"Damn, what should I do?" Li Tianbao became worried and kept mumbling, "Apart from Xu Fei himself, only a few museums know."
When talking about museums, Li Tianbao suddenly thought of Sun Jian of the Palace Museum. He had a good relationship with him when he donated the bronze tripod last time, and said that he would definitely help anyone who could help in the future.
When thinking of him, Li Tianbao quickly called Sun Jian, "Brother Sun, do I have something to do with you?"
"It's Mr. Li. I'm very busy right now. I'll get off work in an hour. You can come to me then and we can talk in detail, okay?"
"No problem, I'll pick you up after get off work." After Li Tianbao said that, he took the money and walked out the door.
"Brother Bao, where are you going?"
"Of course I'll choose a few generous gifts. How can I entrust someone with something that I can't come up with?"
After leaving Li's house, Li Tianbao went to the 4S store of Beijing Hyundai and bought a Rena hatchback for 110,000 yuan, which he planned to give to Sun Jian. Because he was afraid of being too ostentatious, Li Tianbao didn't buy anything special.
Sun Jian did not dare to accept the luxurious car for fear of being an honest man.
Then Li Tianbao deposited the remaining money in the bank. After all, he couldn't carry so much money around the streets.
After everything was done, Li Tianbao drove his brand new car to the Research Institute of the Palace Museum. Not long after he stopped the car, Sun Jian walked out of it.
"Mr. Li, I'm sorry for asking you to make a trip in person. The institute has been really busy these two days." Sun Jian said as politely as before.
"Brother Sun, don't always call me Mr. Li from now on. Just call me Xiaobao or Tianbao."
"Okay, okay, it's hard to change your name after you're used to it, so I'll call you Xiaobao from now on."
After Sun Jian finished speaking, he was invited into the car by Li Tianbao, and then the two of them came to the Peninsula Hotel. Since the last time he visited, Li Tianbao was so impressed by this place. This is an absolutely luxurious place, where guests can be entertained.
Excellent location, of course the consumption level is indeed very high, but it is nothing to Li Tianbao.
Arriving at the dining table in the luxurious private room, Sun Jiandao said: "Xiaobao, if you have anything to do, just tell me. I will help you if I can. Why do you spend so much money to come to a place like this?"
"Brother, I am indeed in trouble this time. No matter what, you must help me this time." Li Tianbao told him about the holiday he had with Li Longxing, and told him, "I got an ancient painting."
, found out that it was Xu Fei’s old painting, and used him to bring down Li Longxing, but then they didn’t know what Xu Fei’s mark was.”
After hearing this, Sun Jian couldn't help but ask: "Xiaobao, are there any contradictions in what you said? If Xu Fei's old painting was not authenticated by someone who knew his mark, you should know that since you know that the painting is fake.
Xu Fei’s mark.”
Sun Jian's analysis was indeed very accurate, but Li Tianbao came to his senses and said: "I got that painting from a museum staff, but I only know that the painting is fake, but no matter how I ask him to identify it,
That guy didn’t even tell me how to do it.”
So that's it! Sun Jiandao: "That incident is unbearable to look back on. It can be called a shame for the Chinese Museum!"
"That was sixteen years ago, when I had just started working. The person who was responsible for guiding me was a researcher from the older generation, who is now the deputy director of our unit. One day, the person in charge of a local museum came to the unit and asked me to
We helped to look at a painting. At that time, we all felt strange. It stands to reason that we are all experts who have studied cultural relics for many years, so we would not see the wrong thing. At that time, my current deputy director and I went there.
It was a perfect painting, with superb brushwork and no problems at all. But after we finished talking, the other party said that the painting was a forgery, which made me half-infuriated after years of studying cultural relics, especially the appreciation of calligraphy and painting.
But the young man brought by the person in charge of the local museum took out a bottle of iodine and wiped it on the upper right corner of the painting. After a while, three words appeared, "Xu Fei made it". We were really very worried at that time.
surprise.
Through the introduction of the person in charge of the other party, we got to know the young man next to him, and found out that he was Xu Fei, a young man from rural Jiangsu. We were also suspicious at the time, saying that he was so young and unwilling to reproduce such powerful paintings.
But the young man pretended to demonstrate for us how to imitate the Riverside Scene during the Qingming Festival. Of course, even if he only drew the beginning, he could not finish it in a long time. In terms of writing power, not only could the fake be the real one, it was simply impossible for anyone to see.
There are traces of imitation. In addition to the several unique distressing processes he mentioned, we have to believe it.
At that time, we asked this young man who he learned painting from and why he suddenly asked for details, but he just said three words "favor debt!". Then he told us that you can deal with it as you like. The favor debt has been paid and now it's time.
It's time for atonement.
Such a genius made the directors of several museums unable to bear to report it. After discussing with several local museums, they decided to let it go. After all, it would be disgraceful for such a shameful thing to spread, so there was no news about this matter."
After listening to Sun Jian's words, Li Tianbao became even more curious, but it was obvious that Sun Jian didn't know what Xu Fei had experienced before.
"I think you also heard what Lin Meiru said. At that time, his grandfather Lin Boshan was also one of the persons in charge of the institute, so except for a few institutions, few knew about it."
After Sun Jian finished speaking, he added: "You want me to tell you where Xu Fei's old mark is, right?"
When Li Tianbao heard this, he quickly said: "Yes, this is very important to me."
