"Generally speaking, the imitator does not have such profound traditional skills and cannot draw his freehand style at all, but this painting is different."
"The painter himself has a strong foundation in painting, and he has brought the strengths of several famous artists to almost the highest level."
Hearing his praise, the boss was a little stunned, "Since you praised it so well, doesn't that mean it's genuine?"
"If this is a counterfeit, who can have such profound knowledge?
Young man, even if you want to lower the price, you don’t have to resort to this method.”
The boss was no longer angry now, and shook his head slightly, with a hint of helplessness on his expression.
In his eyes, Li Yiyang has become a quibbler. He obviously wants to lower the price but is embarrassed to say it, so he adopts this method.
Li Yiyang was neither angry nor anxious. He still had a smile on his face and said, "You are really fake because I know the author of this painting."
After saying this, the boss's eyes widened, and then he heard Li Yiyang ask: "Have you ever heard of Qitian?"
The boss's face changed instantly, and he seemed to know, and murmured: "Is this really a fake?"
Li Yiyang smiled unkindly. Since the boss reacted like this, it means that Qi Tian is still very famous.
Of course, the boss was quite nice. He always received them actively and did not behave in any way that made them uncomfortable.
Li Yiyang said: "Although this thing is fake, it will be very valuable in a few years. I estimate that the price at the auction will not be much lower than when you bought it."
"Of course, if you don't believe it, you can also buy this painting from me. I can buy it for whatever price you pay. At least you won't suffer any loss."
When Li Yiyang said this, the boss was stunned. He had never seen a weirdo like him before. He said it was a fake and said he wanted to buy it.
"You won't trick me, will you?
You deliberately said it was fake and then bought it at a low price, you are not kind!"
Li Yiyang shook his head. He knew that this person would misunderstand, and his behavior was indeed very misleading.
"If you don't believe it, you can find a professional to authenticate it again, or contact Qi Tian directly. He must know your painting."
"As far as I know, his paintings have never been advertised as authentic. When he first painted, he would tell the buyers that his paintings were copies."
"Ask him, he will definitely not lie. After you have reached the conclusion, you can come to me again. If you buy this painting, I will still buy it."
After finishing speaking, he handed his business card to the boss, and then left with Wen Xiaohui and An An.
After coming out, Wen Xiaohui let out a sigh of relief and said, "You are serious. You actually said that this thing is fake. What if I get angry?"
Li Yiyang said: "This thing is originally a copy. He was deceived himself. Even if he is angry, he is angry at others. Taking his anger out on me is going too far."
"If he had really blamed me indiscriminately just now, I would definitely not help him anymore. What he does next is his own business."
Wen Xiaohui frowned, "Are you really going to buy this fake painting?"
She was a little confused, since Li Yiyang knew it was a fake, why would he buy it? Wasn't it because he had money and nowhere to spend it?
Li Yiyang shook his head, "Even if this is a fake, it is still valuable. The price of this thing will increase in a few years. Generally speaking, it will not be a loss."
"What's more, antiques like this are meant to be kept waiting for their value to increase, so I offered to buy them."
Wen Xiaohui waved her hand, "You clearly know that's not what I'm talking about. What I mean is, how do you know that this thing will definitely increase in value?"
No matter what, the boss must have spent millions on it. How could this replica be so expensive?
To put it bluntly, copying is fake. Some paintings by famous artists only cost several million. Wen Xiaohui expressed doubts that this copy could be so expensive.
Seeing that he was already far away, Li Yiyang said: "The reason why I say this is because I know this person."
"Besides, you should have heard what the boss said just now. He has seen it done by an expert. Let's not say whether this expert is a serious expert, but at least he is better than ordinary people."
"Since they didn't realize that this thing was fake, that's enough to prove that what he copied could be mistaken for the real thing."
"Not just anyone can create such a master's painting, not to mention that Zhang Daqian himself is a master of copying."
"Since he can be famous, how can he be sure that other people don't have such skills?
Given time, this copyist might become another Zhang Daqian!"
Wen Xiaohui was stunned for a moment, then shook her head, "Forget it, I can't tell you anything. No matter how outrageous it is, it seems like it will come true if you say it!"
Li Yiyang smiled and said, "That's because what I said sounds reasonable to you. Okay, don't argue about this matter. In short, you will definitely not suffer."
"I know, you have already made up your mind, is there any possibility of changing it?
Anyway, I won’t interfere in these matters, you can just take care of them.”
After speaking, Wen Xiaohui sighed, "It's a pity that we haven't picked out anything good today. How are we going to see Mr. Yun later?"
Li Yiyang shook his head, "The old man doesn't like these things, didn't I already say that?
Even if you go empty-handed, he will still be happy."
Wen Xiaohui curled her lips and said nothing. It seemed that she still felt a little dissatisfied in her heart.
Seeing this situation, Li Yiyang looked around and said, "Then let's go over there! Those antique vases and the like are better priced."
"Even if these things are cheap, they still have some value, even if they are made into vases. Unlike these things, the fake ones are worthless."
Wen Xiaohui then raised her head and said, "Then it's up to you. I don't understand this anyway."
The three of them soon entered another antique store. There were some vases and the like here, and they did look different from before.
These vases are different from paintings. Even people who don't know them can tell whether they are good-looking or not. As for their value, they can't say for sure.
After a while, Wen Xiaohui picked it up, and An An also touched it and looked around.
Li Yiyang and Wen Xiaohui were together and didn't pay attention to An An. Unexpectedly, after a while, they suddenly heard the sound of something falling to the ground.
Hearing this sound, the boss in the room immediately ran out, and then there were voices of accusation.
Seeing this situation, Li Yiyang and Wen Xiaohui also looked over, and saw a child being scolded, looking at a loss.
Seeing this, An An ran over quickly, "Dad, that kid didn't break that thing. I saw it."
At this time, the boss was already asking for compensation, and the old man next to the child also looked frightened and panicked.
