Chapter 104: Scam

was rushed inexplicably, Su Chen couldn't help but be stunned, and couldn't help but touch his nose.

Although I was unhappy, this was someone else's thing after all, and I naturally had nothing to say if I didn't show it to him.

But Zhang Daqian's works are almost priceless, so Su Chen didn't plan to leave, but stood aside to see if he could have a chance to see the paintings again.

Wang Tai said at this time, his face still shining with a flush: "Mr. Yin, I don't know if you plan to paint this painting?"

"Of course it's to sell. Yin Hongfan looked around and saw that everyone was looking at him with an earnest face, and couldn't help but show a smile on his face, "I heard that your Wang family has a good reputation in Jinnan, so I hope Boss Wang can do a favor and sell my painting." ”

"Then I don't know how much you bid for Mr. Yin's painting?"

Before Wang Tai could speak, a man in an expensive suit next to him, about fifty years old, couldn't wait to say.

When the people around him heard this, they also echoed it.

"Yes, yes, if you want to sell, you have to have a price. ”

"What I mean is that we people here also like this painting very much, and I think it's better for us to have a bidding on the spot than to delay time and find a new buyer. ”

It seemed that hearing this latter sentence, Yin Hongfan's face showed a look of emotion, and he heard him say softly: "In fact, if I didn't need money urgently, I wouldn't have been able to sell this painting......" Speaking of this, he looked around: "It's okay to sell here, but I must receive cash." ”

"That's no problem, buy a painting, and buy it in installments, what is this like. ”

"That is, you can rest assured, we all know the rules. ”

Hearing everyone's promise, Yin Hongfan nodded: "Okay, since that's the case, then let me say first, the reserve price of this painting is four million, if everyone present has no problem with this price, we will bid, if you think it's high, then I didn't say it." ”

The price of four million is not much for a pair of Mr. Zhang Daqian's genuine handwritings, and it can even be regarded as a very low price, but considering the need to bid, the final transaction price, no one can say.

Lin Wanqing has been standing by Su Chen's side, and when she saw this scene, she pulled his sleeve and said in a low voice: "Su Chen, do you want to tell my father, my father has always liked Zhang Daqian, if I can take a picture, he will definitely be very happy." ”

Su Chen slowed down, raised his eyes and glanced at Yin Hongfan, just when he saw the slightly raised arc of the corner of this person's mouth, he hesitated a little in his heart, and said, "Wait first, I haven't seen the painting, don't make a rash move first." ”

Somehow, he always felt a little wrong.

At this time, Yin Hongfan and everyone seemed to have discussed, and held a small auction in this manor, and the auction method was not the traditional direct price increase one by one, but the use of hidden bidding.

What is a secret mark?

That is, each bidder writes his bid on a piece of paper and then hands it to Yin Hongfan, and the one with the highest bid in the end will get this picture of Zhang Daqian's yellow orioles singing willows. In this, everyone can only bid once, and they can't go back.

Because Wang Tai is the landlord here, he directly arranged the bidding site in the reception room of the manor.

After everyone sat down, he remembered Su Chen and Lin Wanqing: "Xiaoqing, I remember that your father's favorite is Zhang Daqian's painting, this picture of yellow orioles singing willows, your father is not interested?"

"Ah, this ......" Lin Wanqing glanced at Su Chen with some hesitation.

She really wanted to bid, the price of four million was not very high, but she had unconditional trust in Su Chen, since Su Chen asked her to wait, then she could only wait.

At this time, Su Chen, the more he thought about it, the more wrong he became, and his eyes kept falling on the few people around him who were ready to bid.

When he inadvertently landed on the mature female assistant beside Yin Hongfan, his expression was stunned for a moment, and then a trace of solemnity appeared in his eyes.

"Uncle Wang, do you want to bid too?" he asked Wang Tai in a low voice.

"Of course, Zhang Daqian's paintings, which are definitely the most collectible antiques, how can you miss them. Wang Tai said without hesitation.

Seeing his determined appearance, Su Chen thought for a moment and decided to remind him.

"Uncle Wang, if you believe me, don't bid, that painting may be fake. ”

"What?"

Wang Tai was stunned for a moment, his brows furrowed deeply, and he subconsciously glanced back at the long brown wooden box in Yin Hongfan's hand, and pondered for a while before he asked with some uncertainty, "Xiao Chen, you shouldn't have seen that painting just now, how can you be sure that it is fake?"

He had already looked at it carefully just now, plus several buyers around him, all of them had seen it, and they almost unanimously thought that it was genuine, so Su Chen just opened his mouth and asked him to give up, which was naturally very painful.

Seeing that Wang Tai was skeptical of his words, Su Chen was also a little helpless.

In fact, he couldn't be 100% sure, but when he subconsciously wanted to see the female assistant's heart just now, he found that the female assistant's defense mechanism was very strong, even stronger than the female killer he had encountered before!

Just imagine, how could an ordinary female assistant be so defensive in this situation, unless she was very nervous!

"Uncle Wang, I'm not sure, but it's best if you don't bid. ”

In the end, Su Chen could only say this. After all, he still stated the basis of his judgment, which was impossible for anyone to believe.

"This ...... Xiao Chen, if you can give up the reason, then I can give up, this situation ......"

Wang Tai shook his head, obviously not ready to listen to Su Chen's opinion.

Su Chen couldn't do anything about it, and he knew that it was indeed a little difficult for him to give up just like that.

And in his heart, he himself is not 100% sure that the painting is fake.

A minute passed quickly, and at this time the auction had already begun, and seeing that everyone had written their bids and handed them in, Wang Tai finally didn't believe Su Chen's words, and he was reluctant to give up this rare Zhang Daqian's painting.

After thinking about it for a long time, Wang Tai wrote a price of "six million" and handed it over, and a group of people began to wait for the final result.

Yin Hongfan opened a total of five notes with a smile on his face, and the surprise in his eyes could not be concealed, and finally, in everyone's eager eyes, he stood up and said with a smile: "Everyone, I have seen the price." Boss Wang, congratulations, your bid is the highest, and this picture of the yellow orioles singing willows is yours. ”

As soon as he heard that he had the highest bid, Wang Tai was stunned for a moment, and seemed to be a little incredulous.

You know, the price of six million is absolutely less for this painting. The reason why he set this price was also influenced by Su Chen, but he never expected that his bid was the highest.

"Boss Wang, Boss Wang?"

Seeing that Wang Tai was a little stunned, Yin Hongfan shouted twice, "This painting is yours, and we can trade it now." ”

"Ahhh ”

Although there was a trace of uneasiness in his heart, Wang Tai finally didn't think much about it and prepared to transfer the transaction.

"Wait!"

Just as Wang Tai was about to trade, Su Chen suddenly stood up and shouted loudly.

This sound really scared many people, and everyone looked at him one after another, with unhappiness in their eyes.

"What's the matter?"

The corners of Yin Hongfan's eyebrows jumped, forcibly suppressed a trace of uneasiness in his heart, and asked.

"I think, there's no need for a transaction, your painting is fake!"

Su Chen and Yin Hongfan looked at each other at this time, and their tone was very firm.

These words made Yin Hongfan's expression change greatly, but his acting skills were very good, and he quickly recovered, and turned to show an angry look: "What nonsense are you talking about? Young age, nonsense, so many people here have seen this painting, and they haven't said it fake, do you think your level can be higher than so many seniors here? Also, I didn't show you my painting at all just now, why do you say it's fake." ”

His words were justified and well-founded, causing everyone to nod their heads.

Obviously, now Su Chen gives people the impression that he is a young man who is messing around and doesn't know what to do.

Su Chen didn't care, smiled, and said, "Don't get excited, let's listen to me tell a story." I don't know if you've heard of Shang Yun Sanjie?"

Shangyun Sanjie?

After these four words popped out of Su Chen's mouth, Yin Hongfan and the three people who came with him all changed drastically, and even their foreheads began to unconsciously flow a trace of sweat.

The people present were all antique connoisseurs, and one of them thought for a moment in his mind after hearing this name, and said with some uncertainty: "What you said, but twenty years ago, the three Shang Yun brothers who were famous for copying and counterfeiting?"

"Not much, it's them. Among the three of them, there is a man named Li Quan, who is especially good at copying Zhang Daqian's paintings, which has reached the point of being fake, and once made many antique appraisal masters dazzled. ”

Su Chen said with a smile.

When Wang Tai heard this at this time, he suddenly said excitedly: "The picture of the yellow oriole singing willows you said is imitated by this Li Quan?"

"Not bad!"

Su Chen nodded, and admitted it.

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes immediately moved to Yin Hongfan, and their eyes were already full of suspicion, after all, Su Chen had already said Li Quan's name.

"Nonsense!"

Yin Hongfan slapped the table, his face was unconcealable anger, "Yellow-haired child, you are insulting me Yin Hongfan!"

"Isn't it nonsense, you can open that painting right now. Su Chen said indifferently, "Maybe there is one thing that everyone doesn't know. As a master of counterfeiting, Li Quan has a quirk, that is, at the bottom left of the painting he imitates, he will leave an imprint symbolizing the spring water. ”

As soon as these words came out, Yin Hongfan could no longer pretend to be calm, picked up the painting on the table, and was about to take the door.
