In Yipin Pavilion, the shop owners Bai Chongjiu and Xu Maochang forced Lu Fei to do an appraisal.
Lu Fei said with a smile.
"My two brothers look up to me so much. I'm just a rag collector. I can see the thread!"
"Pooh!"
Bai Chongjiu rolled his eyes and spat softly.
"Brother Lu Fei, you are not real."
"Don't look at the first time we met. Xu Laoer and Xu Laosan have told us your deeds more than once. My fucking ears are almost calloused."
"If you don't have the skills, how can you pick up the Bihe Qingtian backflow incense burner in the Magic City Tianjiao Club?"
"If it weren't for that thing, could the Du family be easily destroyed by you?"
"And the reputation of your Jubao Pavilion is well-known even by our colleagues in Fengtian. It is said that your store has a lot of good things, including gold ingots, flintlocks, and a lot of reward money from the King of the West."
"You kid, please don't tell me that you collect the junk and take it back as scrap."
"Just think that I was just showing off and I was wrong, can't you?"
Being exposed in public, Lu Fei's face turned red.
Lu Fei was embarrassed, Bai Chongjiu looked proud and said with a smile.
"Don't let me say it's okay. Let me take a look at it right away and tell Xu Laosan whether my brother's painting is the original work of Tang Bohu?"
Lu Fei lit a cigarette and said.
"Brother Bai, let's not talk about that. Let me ask you something, how much did you pay for this painting?"
"Three hundred thousand!" Bai Zhongjiu said sternly.
"How much does Brother Bai plan to spend?"
"What do you mean?" Bai Chongjiu asked confused.
"Haha, Brother Bai is engaged in business. Isn't collecting items just for selling and making money?"
"I like this painting. No matter what the price is, Brother Bai, as long as it is reasonable, I, Lu Fei, will never counter-offer."
"I wipe it?"
Bai Chongjiu suddenly realized it and curled his lips and said.
"land Brother Fei, you are trying to pick on my brother’s fault!”
"I've heard for a long time that brother Lu Fei and Bo Yuntian are righteous and righteous. It turns out that they are the same as the old guy Xu Laosan. They are even worse than Xu Laosan!"
"You, you disappoint me so much."
"Hahaha"
Xu Maochang's smile was so funny that Wang Xinyi hid behind Lu Fei and also pursed her lips and snickered.
Wang Xinyi said heartily, you don't know Lu Fei yet, Lu Fei is much worse than Xu Laosan.
Lu Fei smiled and said.
"Brother Bai, that's wrong. You and I both own antique shops. You know the rules here better than anyone else."
"Appraisal of objects is my job. You can't let me work in vain, can you?"
"If you say you don't want to sell it, just keep this painting and study it slowly."
"If I want to sell you, just make an offer. Once the transaction is completed, I will tell you the real bottom line."
"snort!"
"Sell or not?"
"Sell it, why not sell it?"
"But don't even think about picking up my spoils. If you want this painting, you can get it for at least three million." Bai Chongjiu said.
"I wipe it?"
"Old Bai, you are acting like an animal, right? The paintings you received for 300,000 yuan were sold to my brother at ten times the price. Are you still a fucking human being?"
"What's more, this painting of yours is not real at all. Wouldn't your heart hurt if you used a fake to deceive your own people?"
"snort!"
"Bai Laosan, please stop talking sarcastically. You said this painting is a fake. How can you prove it?"
"If it is genuine, this painting will cost more than 30 million yuan?"
"I'm having a fucking blood sale, okay?"
"You're talking about your own people, don't fucking mention these three words to me."
"I've known you for over forty fucking years, but you turned against me when I saw brother Lu Fei. You old Bichi is just a white-eyed wolf."
"Hahaha."
The two people were quarreling until their faces turned red, but everyone in the room could see that it was a joke, so Lu Fei and Hu Zongxian burst out laughing.
"stop!"
"Stop arguing, isn't it just three million? I bought it."
"I bought two pieces of clothing today and spent more than two million yuan. Three million drizzle, so just treat it as my filial piety to Brother Bai." Lu Fei said with a smile.
"What?"
"You agreed to three million?"
"yes!"
"I will transfer the money immediately after signing the contract."
"No, you won't make a counter-offer?"
"Is there any counter-offer for something worth three million?"
"Fuck, it's going to be less."
Bai Chongjiu covered his face with his hands and suddenly felt helpless.
Bai Chongjiu regretted it so much that he signed a contract with Lu Fei with a face.
After transferring three million, Lu Fei planned to put away the scroll, but Bai Chongjiu decided not to do it.
"Hey, wait a minute."
"what?"
"The painting was sold to you, but you haven't told me what it is about?" Bai Chongjiu said.
"is this necessary?"
"Nonsense, you kid is unjust. Brother, I am an open-minded person."
"If this painting is really a fake, I will refund the money to you. My brother can't do such immoral things." Bai Chongjiu said.
Lu Fei chuckled.
"Is that what you said?"
"I think you are afraid of this painting because you really regret it and change your mind."
"Stop talking nonsense and talk quickly."
"Hey, this painting is indeed not the original work of Tang Bohu."
After Lu Fei said these words, Bai Zhongjiu let out a long breath and said.
"Brother Lu Fei, we all work in this industry. You know the rules better than I do, right?"
"Since the contract has been signed and the money and goods have been settled, the transaction is considered completed. You won't be so shameless as to ask your brother to return the goods."
< br> Lu Fei smiled and said.
"Brother Bai, is there something wrong with your mind?"
"Three million is the price I was willing to pay, and I was the one who saw that it was not the original work of Tang Yin."
"Do you think I would spend three million to buy a piece of junk and take advantage of it?"
Hiss——
"What do you mean?" Bai Chongjiu asked anxiously.
"hey-hey!"
"Although this painting is not the original work of Tang Bohu, it is a high imitation."
"And the person he copied is quite awesome, and his reputation is not as famous as that of Tang Bohu." Lu Fei said with a smile.
"You, who do you think that person is?"
"It can't be Zhang, Zhang Daqian, right?"
Zhang Daqian is known as the first person to copy in modern times, which is a fact well known in the industry.
The works imitated by Zhang Daqian are enough to be fake, whether in terms of spirit or artistic conception.
If you are not a master who has carefully studied Zhang Daqian's works for more than ten years, you will definitely not be able to tell.
Moreover, Zhang Daqian's favorite thing is to copy Tang Bohu's works, and there are many people in the industry who are obsessed with it.
Among them is one of the most classic cases.
Chang Jingwen, the director of Chang'an Museum, comes from a well-known antique collecting family.
It is said that the ancestors of the Chang family were the imperial appraisers of the Qing Palace. They had unique methods of appraising treasures and never made mistakes.
As a result, the next generation, Chang Jingwen, overturned the boat in the gutter.
At the Boya auction in Tianducheng in 2003, Chang Jingwen spent a sky-high price of 9.3 million to buy an "authentic" painting of Tang Bohu, "Picture of Strange Trees in the Mountains".
More than nine million in 2003 was absolutely a sky-high price, and it was also all the wealth passed down by the Chang family's ancestors.
But even so, Chang Jingwen felt that it was well worth the money, so he decided to take the photo.
Chang Jingwen then brought this painting to Kong Fanlong to show off, but Mr. Kong's eldest disciple Gao Feng saw the flaw and pointed out that it was a copy of the work by Zhang Daqian, and pointed out the absolute evidence.
