Chapter 222: The Black Sheep
All of a sudden, the antique industry was full of smoke and miasma, and there were deliberate tricks everywhere, auctions were faked, etc., because of the unique rules of this industry, countless people were broken by the head of the pit and bled out, and their families were ruined.
Those big bosses who are worth a lot of money have been cheated again and again, but they are deeply addicted to it and can't extricate themselves, just like antiques have abused me thousands of times, and I treat antiques like my first love.
It's completely not a coffin and no tears.
Later, this situation became more and more intense, and finally the trouble was out of control, a large number of exposures, rectifications, and a series of coercive measures made the market a lot cleaner, and Tibetan friends gradually became rational.
As the saying goes, the road is one foot high, the magic is one foot high, the original deception and tricks are basically no longer workable, like five years ago, you fooled others, saying that you are the reincarnation of Qin Shi Huang, and you urgently need money, maybe you can still succeed.
But now, I'm afraid you'll be taken for a joke.
Later, under the change of the market, those crooks also began to transform and move towards high technology.
And now, the antique industry is still full of a large number of fakes, and the eyes and knowledge of Tibetan friends are very high, and even some of them are so skilled that even experts and professors may be eye-catching.
So, now these big bosses, big tycoons need to make friends with some of the most famous and experienced experts to help themselves.
And the three in front of me are, in normal times, almost impossible to spend money.
For these top celebrities in the industry, they will not be stingy, they are good at smoking and drinking, and they have a big red envelope.
The usual red envelopes are the size of a palm, but these in front of me are almost the same as A4 paper, and they are bulging high, and they are stuffed with a lot of money at a glance.
Zheng Shaoqiu leaned next to him and pretended to sleep, but he didn't attract too much attention.
In the eyes of these big bosses, this young man is so young, it is estimated that he is a disciple of a certain master, so he doesn't need to pay too much attention to it, just express it casually.
They have seen this kind of scene a long time ago, in addition to the big red envelopes prepared in advance, there are also small red envelopes for apprentices.
Although it is small, it also has a thick stack of money stuffed inside.
You know, this is just a greeting gift, not an appraisal fee at all.
Appraisal fees are much more than that.
In fact, there is another long-standing name for this appraisal fee, that is, the pen fee.
The time dates back to the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Zheng Yi and Yang Jian had a classmate friendship, and helped Yang Jian usurp Zhou Jiansui, but he was impeached for corruption and bent the law, and was demoted to the history of Kaifu and Longzhou.
Later, he was edicted to return to Beijing for treatment, and Emperor Wen of Sui Emperor Yang Jian met him in Liquan Palace, and gave him a banquet, and drank with him, very happy.
After chatting, Yang Jian issued an edict to restore the title of Duke Zheng Yipeiguo and the official position of Shangzhu State, and ordered Li Delin to draft an edict on the spot.
At this time, Gao Gong joked to Zheng Yi: "The pen is dry." ”
Zheng Yi smiled: "I came out as a stabbing history, came back on crutches, and didn't get a single money, what did I use to polish your pen?"
Yang Jian laughed.
This is the origin and origin of "moistening brush", which was later used to refer to the remuneration received by calligraphers and painters for selling calligraphy and paintings.
In the long history, it has been seen as a matter of gentleness and is not uncommon.
One of the most influential was Zheng Banqiao in the Qing Dynasty.
He linked the size of the text panel with the price, and said that "giving cash to the heart is joyful, and the calligraphy and painting are good".
Howe is not pretentious, frank and open, which makes people admire.
It is said that Zheng Banqiao has "three truths": true qi, true meaning, and true fun.
On the issue of Runge, it is also vividly reflected.
In addition to him, there is also a big-name figure, that is Tang Yin and Tang Bohu.
In fact, the real Tang Bohu is a freelance writer, and he binds his works into a large booklet, with the word 'Lishi' written on the cover, which is no different from doing business.
This phenomenon was very common even in the Republic of China, like those well-known artists, such as Zhang Daqian, Qi Baishi, etc., will charge a different amount of money for brushing with a clear price.
Qi Baishi is a modest person, but there is no room for negotiation in the standard of manuscript fees set by himself.
In the living room of his house, the walls are hung with pen manuscript fee standards, which are clearly marked and clear.
How much money is given for polishing, then draw a work of corresponding value, and the execution is unambiguous.
Legend has it that someone made a special trip to visit him in order to ask for a painting, and after entering the living room, he looked up and saw the standard schedule of manuscript fees, and he was immediately shy.
He only had enough money for one and a half shrimps.
After explaining his intentions, I wanted to ask Qi Baishi to make it convenient for his sincerity.
Qi Baishi accepted the money with a smile, and it was not good to break the rules, and then he thought about it and painted with a pen.
First, I drew a shrimp playing at the water's edge, which was vivid and beautiful.
After that, next to this shrimp, a shrimp with only the upper body exposed on the surface of the water was drawn, and the lower body was blocked by layers of water waves.
The visitor was very satisfied, and both of them were very happy.
Strictly speaking, the nature of the appraisal fee and the polishing fee are the same.
A figure of the level of the Huangpu Army generally does not make a move easily, let alone charge appraisal fees casually.
Compared with him, Li Henian is a little worse, after all, his teacher is not as good, but even so, his appraisal fee starts at 30,000.
You know, for ordinary people, 30,000 is not a small number.
At the beginning, Sun Yuanchun's seal was to find Liu Zhenhua from the glaze factory first, and after paying a lot of appraisal fees, he got an inaccurate sentence.
Later, he found Li Henian of Yuanbao Villa, Li Henian is a decent person, although the appraisal results are a little different, but at least the fees are confiscated, which is in Zheng Shaoqiu's eyes.
In general, Li Henian is still a very good person, knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, he will not pretend to be stupid, he will talk nonsense, and he will strive to feel at ease with every appraisal fee he gets.
It was because of his good reputation that he became very popular in Pingjing, and his fame became more and more famous, and more and more Tibetan friends knew him.
To tell the truth, there are fewer and fewer bottom-line and principled experts like him and Huangpu Jun.
With the fire of the antique industry, there are also many treasure appreciation programs, among which there are many experts and professors, most of whom are named in museums and have real materials.
The real thing is the real thing, and the fake is the fake, even if you can't get it right, you won't jump to conclusions.
This is the wind bone.
However, there are always some black sheep who have corrupted the atmosphere of the entire industry, and to put it bluntly, they are indiscriminate.
These so-called experts may not have much ink in their stomachs, but there is a lot of bad water, and their brains are really active, but they don't use them for business.
