"As for the last vertical scroll scroll of Tang Yin's Night Drinking at Jinshan, it is also a relatively ordinary imitation, and it is still inferior to the real Tang Yin's work." Zhuge Yi said calmly.
Three pieces in a row, namely a Ming Dynasty colorful golden rooster ancient glaze ornament, and calligraphy works by Huang Binhong and Tang Yin, two great painters from ancient times to modern times, were all identified as fakes by Zhuge Yi.
Hearing that three of the eight antiques that were credited were fakes, Gao Dechao's face suddenly became unsightly, and his gaze towards Zhao Jinshu became unfriendly and a little angry: "Boss Zhao, what do you want to say?
Do you want to say something?”
Zhao Jinshu on the side spoke hurriedly, with a look of annoyance and helplessness on his face: "Boss Gao, listen to me, it's not that I intentionally want to deceive you, Boss Gao, by passing it off as a good product, but I don't know what is mixed with it.
Fake, because I got these eight antiques from other places, and I don’t know much about antiques and can’t distinguish them clearly, so speaking of it, I was also fooled by others, and I am also a victim.
"
Gao Dechao didn't want to distinguish whether these words were true or false.
"Boss Gao, please don't be angry. This is fine. Since Mr. Zhuge has determined that these three items are fakes, I will take them back. The remaining five items will continue to be used to offset the account, and I will try my best to make up the remaining balance.
We can make up for it with cash, what do you think, Boss Gao?" Zhao Jinshu said hurriedly.
Gao Dechao glanced at Zhao Jinshu, who was smiling with him, and saw that his attitude was pretty good. At least he did not deny it, but accepted the result frankly. After thinking about it, he nodded and agreed: "Okay, I can promise you, you
As long as you pay me the equivalent value of these three antiques according to the price, the debt between you and me will be wiped out."
Zhao Jinshu grinned and reluctantly nodded in agreement. There were three fakes among the eight antiques. As the owner, how could he not know? It was intentional, just to fish in troubled waters, even if one of them was not identified.
That's equivalent to saving seven to eight million.
However, he did not expect that the person Gao Dechao invited would be Zhuge Yi, who had worked in Liulichang for forty years. His eyes were so overbearing that he actually picked out all three fakes, giving him a little advantage.
I didn’t even take it, my tooth hurts.
But now that the matter has come to this, there is no other way but to admit it.
On the other side, Gao Dewei also looked at Zhuge Yi with admiration. He thought that he was indeed an outstanding person who had been invited by the Palace Museum. He was very sharp. After hesitating for a moment, he whispered to Xue Chen beside him: "Brother Xue, what do you think of Mr. Zhuge's appraisal?"
?Do you think there’s anything missing?”
"No." Xue Chen nodded affirmatively. Zhuge Yi's level of antiquities appraisal was indeed very high, and three of the eight antiques were correctly picked out as fakes.
"Hey, Xue Chen, doesn't this mean that you are here in vain and there is no use for you at all?" Xiong Linlin said with a smile.
Xue Chen ignored it, squinted his eyes, turned his head and whispered something to Gao Dewei.
Gao Dewei's expression changed a few times after hearing this, and he seemed a little confused, but in the end he nodded a few times.
At this moment, Zhao Jinshu and Gao Dechao have completed the delivery. Five of the genuine items have been kept to offset the debt. The remaining money will be paid later. The remaining three fake items are also repackaged and put into wooden boxes, holding hands with Gao Dechao.
After saying goodbye, he led the young men in black clothes and black trousers he brought with him and turned around to leave.
As soon as he walked out of the conference room door, Zhao Jinshu was stopped by Gao Dewei who was following him.
"Boss Zhao, stay."
Zhao Jinshu turned around and saw Gao Dewei, who was tall and fat, chasing after him, and asked in confusion: "Brother Gao, is there anything else?"
Gao Dewei chuckled, leaned over and said, "Boss Zhao, I want to do a business with you."
"Do business with me? What business?" Zhao Jinshu looked at Gao Dewei suspiciously.
Gao Dewei narrowed his eyes and grinned and said: "To be honest with Boss Zhao, I have recently made friends with several local bosses in Xishan. They are all very rich, and they also like to buy some elegant things to decorate the facade. I am worried about giving too many gifts.
What gifts should I order? I think the three items left by Boss Zhao are quite good. I wonder if Boss Zhao is willing to part with them and give them to me."
Zhao Jinshu suddenly realized that Gao Dewei wanted to buy the three remaining fake antiques he had left.
"Brother Gao, if you give away counterfeit goods, you won't be afraid of being discovered. That's not good," Zhao Jinshu said, tilting his head.
"Haha, how can those local bosses have such discernment? Even if they find out, I will evade it and say that someone else gave it to me and I didn't know about it. How dare they be angry with me?" Gao Dewei said with a smile,
"Boss Zhao, what do you think?"
When Zhao Jinshu was still thinking and hesitating, Gao Dewei said again: "Boss Zhao should still be less than 20 million short of my brother's repayment. I can talk to my brother, and the repayment of 20 million can be enough."
Slow down."
Zhao Jinshu's expression moved slightly and he pondered for a moment. He was given the indecent nickname Huangpizi by outsiders, not only because of his sallow complexion, but also because of his suspicious temperament and careful consideration in doing things.
Now that he saw Gao Dewei taking the initiative to buy the remaining three fakes, he couldn't help but wonder, is there something fishy about these three fakes? But soon, he denied this possibility, and naturally he had someone do the appraisal himself.
, Zhuge Yi just did another appraisal, and the results were exactly the same.
Thinking of this, without doubting his presence, Zhao Jinshu nodded and agreed.
At this time, in the conference room, the people brought by Gao Dechao were carefully packing the five genuine antiques, and he himself was drinking tea with Zhuge Yi, his words full of admiration for Zhuge Yi.
"Ah, Jiayi, it's getting late, let's go. Well, I originally wanted to see someone's ability in appraising antiques, but it's a pity that I didn't see anything." Xiong Linlin raised the corners of her lips and snorted.
Li Jiayi pulled Xiong Linlin's sleeve to signal her not to talk nonsense, and at the same time carefully glanced at Xue Chen on one side.
Xue Chen glanced at Xiong Linlin with a half-smile, but he didn't know her at all.
At this time, Gao Dewei came back from the door excitedly, carrying three wooden boxes in his hand, and threw them on the conference table.
"Dewei, what are you doing?" Gao Dechao asked confusedly when he saw this scene.
"Ha, these are the three fakes that Zhao Jinshu took away. I bought them back with 300,000 yuan." Gao Dewei said with a smile.
Gao Dechao showed dissatisfaction: "Since you know it is a fake, why did you buy it?" He was a little angry. His brother has become more and more shameless recently. He made some inexplicable friends at will and now spends money randomly.
Three hundred thousand dollars is not a lot of money, but you can't just throw it into the fire for fun. What's the use of buying it even though you know it's a fake? Can't you use it to deceive people?
After taking a sip of tea, Old God Zhuge Yi put down his cup and said, "Three hundred thousand? Although these three items are fakes, they are still good imitations and have a certain value. Twenty or thirty thousand are still worth it.
But three hundred thousand is a little too much."
Gao Dewei was unhappy when he saw his elder brother, and hurriedly blinked twice at Xue Chen, because Xue Chen asked him to do this, otherwise how could he spend money to buy fakes when he was full.
"Boss Gao, Mr. Zhuge, I asked Brother Gao to buy these three fakes." Xue Chen stood up and walked over with a cup of tea, and at the same time motioned to Gao Dewei to open the three boxes.
Gao Dechao glanced at Xue Chen, frowned, and showed displeasure, but said nothing.
Zhuge Yi glanced at Xue Chen in surprise.
Li Jiayi and Xiong Linlin, who were about to leave together, couldn't help but sit back again.
Xue Chen glanced at the three fakes bought by Gao Dewei, then took out the vertical scroll of Tang Bohu alone, spread it out flat, touched it with his hand, his eyes flickered, and he sighed softly: "I didn't expect that.
, I really didn’t expect that we would meet again..."
He turned to Zhuge Yi and said, "Mr. Zhuge, haven't you noticed that the paper of this Tang Yin painting is thicker?"
Zhuge Yi raised his eyebrows and asked: "What do you mean?" After three hours of appreciating eight antiques, it was still a little rushed. Suddenly, Xue Chen asked him about the thickness of the paper of Tang Yin's painting. He really didn't have a deep understanding of it.
impression.
"What's the meaning?"
Xue Chen did not answer, but made an action that everyone expected. He picked up the tea cup and took a large sip of water in his mouth, then spread the picture on the flat surface and sprayed it out.
puff!
Large areas of water mist were evenly sprinkled on the scroll, making the entire painting wet.
Gao Dewei, who was standing opposite Xue Chen, widened his eyes.
Gao Dechao and Zhuge Yi both stood up subconsciously.
The two girls, Li Jiayi and Xiong Linlin, also stood up and walked over in surprise.
There were also several assistants and subordinates brought by Gao Dechao who were present, and they all looked at each other in confusion.
Gao Dewei, who was standing nearest, had wide eyes, pointed at the sprayed painting, and exclaimed: "This... what is this, how come another painting was printed?"
Zhuge Yi seemed to realize something. He strode over and leaned over to take a closer look. After just one glance, his expression changed leisurely. He finally understood what Xue Chen meant by the first sentence he asked and blurted out: "
Is it a hidden painting within a painting?!"
Xue Chen nodded, yes, it is a hidden painting in a painting. He has seen a hidden painting in a painting once, and now he has seen it again. Moreover, this hidden painting in a painting is more detailed and harder to find, but
, his experience has become richer, and his use of abilities has become more proficient, but it still cannot escape his eyes.
So when Zhuge Yi identified this Tang Yin painting as a forgery, he did not refute it, because it was indeed a fake, but there was something else underneath the fake!
Everyone, including Gao Dechao, came closer and saw a magical scene. The surface of the scroll was wet with tea. Precisely because it was wet, the paper became transparent and could be faintly seen. Under the surface, the printed
A blurry shadow of another painting!
"This..." Gao Dechao was startled, his eyes froze, and he was speechless for a long time. (To be continued)
