When Luo Xi arrived at the conference room, he saw that Jiang Lingyun and Cui Feifei had already prepared the relevant documents.

The two have a clear division of labor and are extremely efficient.

Seeing Luo Xi come in, Jiang Lingyun took the initiative to hand over the order of the materials and the key points printed out to Luo Xi.

"Well done. After a quick glance, Luo Xi encouraged the young man.

Jiang Lingyun and Cui Feifei, who had been affirmed, had a twinkle in their eyes, and they seemed to be looking forward to the next battle.

Getting excited rather than holding back when encountering problems is the idea that Luo Xi has always instilled in the team.

"Ling Yun, you talk to them first after you start, Fei Fei assists. Luo Xi arranged.

"Hmm. The two nodded in unison.

"Okay, I'll go back to the office first. Someone came to inform me. "Luo Xi doesn't have to wait here, let alone go out to greet him, because he doesn't want to give the other party a face.

Her current position can be said to be the spokesperson of UAC in the Asia-Pacific region, and she naturally cannot be committed when it is time to do it.

Half an hour later, Jiang Lingyun came to the office and asked Luo Xi to go to the conference room.

"Mr. Luo, the comer is not good. ”

On the way there, Jiang Lingyun reminded in a low voice.

"Naturally. Luo Xi responded with a smile and strode into the open and bright conference room.

The four people led by Zhu Quan got up and greeted her.

"Mr. Zhu, welcome. Luo Xi was polite.

"Hehe, I'll just treat Luo as always really welcome. Zhu Quan has something to say.

"Mr. Zhu laughed, if I am hypocritical, can you still leave immediately?" Luo Xi did not show weakness.

It sounded like a joke, but it didn't soften the atmosphere.

"Mr. Luo is as beautiful as a rose, and his words are just as beautiful. Zhu Quan said with a smile.

Luo Xi could hear that the other party was hinting that there were thorns in her words.

She pretended not to understand, and said with a clever smile: "Not as elegant and personable as Mr. Zhu." ”

In fact, what he said was all the opposite, insinuating that Zhu Quan was-for-tat with her.

After speaking, we met and smiled, and cut to the chase.

Zhu Quan's assistant showed the electronic materials of what they called the "authentic works" of the Bada Shanren.

Jiang Lingyun put the two sides together and put them on the big screen for comparison.

At first glance, it's almost identical.

If you zoom in and look at the part, you can't find any flaws.

It's weird.

If it is a fake, unless the mechanical printing can be done exactly right, manual labor is absolutely impossible.

The best fakes, however, are rarely available in electronic-printed versions, and are almost all artificial.

It can be 100% overlapping, unless the counterfeiter is a god.

Luo Xi didn't believe that such a person existed, except for that stinky boy, of course.

It would be even more bizarre if the counterfeiter was not a human but a computer.

As we all know, computers can reproduce exactly the same calligraphy and paintings, but in the field of ancient calligraphy and painting, the authenticity of a work is not only to identify the original author's handwriting, including the comparison with the same author's works of the same period, the style of painting and the way of moving the brush, the strength of the pen and even the phased changes in color mixing, as well as the investigation of the paper, pen and ink and even the mounting methods used in different historical periods, etc......

There was once a work that was so fake that it deceived the eyes of almost all professionals, but found a flaw in the seal left by the last emperors when they admired it.

Unlike simple copying and printing, such a delicate operation cannot be done by a computer.

This is also one reason why everything can be replaced by informatization, but culture and art cannot do it.

In other words, this is the charm of culture and art.

While Luo Xi was analyzing and thinking, Zhu Quan also felt incredible.

He was originally sure that what he had seen in the old gentleman was the real original, but he did not expect that after such a comparison, the two paintings would be identical.

He typed a line on his phone and gave it to the assistant next to him to read.

"Isn't the picture misplaced?

The assistant didn't dare to slack off, and after confirming again, he nodded and whispered, "Yes." ”

At this time, Luo Xi thought of a third possibility.

Could it be that both are fake? That would be ridiculous.

Luo Xi didn't move, but he had already divided all the possibilities in his heart.

She glanced at Jiang Lingyun, and Jiang Lingyun spoke first: "Mr. Zhu, we have almost seen the paintings, why don't you talk about your thoughts first?"

Zhu Quan did not move, and he was also an assistant to answer.

"After comparison, it is not difficult to find that these two works have a lot in common, and it can be said that this fake is a very realistic imitation. ”

Nonsense. Cui Feifei rolled her eyes, and commented in her heart that the other party was a straw bag.

Zhu Quan's assistant confidently continued: "I suggest that you take back the paintings you have auctioned and find authoritative experts from all parties to carefully evaluate them, and if necessary, we can also ask experts and scholars from W City to assist." ”

Jiang Lingyun wanted to slap the table and ask him in English, "Are you blind?"

But as soon as he glanced at Luo Xi looking at the other party's "good retarded" eyes, his anger disappeared all of a sudden.

Yes, the boss is right, why bother to be as knowledgeable as the mentally retarded?

The other party made it clear that he deliberately pretended to be blind to deceive people.

Jiang Lingyun didn't want to talk nonsense, and motioned to his subordinates to distribute the materials prepared in advance to the other party.

While they flipped through the contents, they explained: "We were really shocked when we saw the electronic version of the so-called authentic work mentioned by Mr. Zhu earlier. For the sake of fairness, we hope that both sides will show good faith and put the original two paintings together for a second comparison after a week. At that time, the two sides can cooperate, and each of them will invite 7 industry experts, scholars, collectors and other authoritative figures to serve as appraisers, issue appraisal reports, and notarize, which can be regarded as an explanation to the public and the industry. ”

The plan obtained by the sovereign and others is the overall planning plan for this evaluation process.

Zhu Quan didn't expect Luo Xi and the others to be so well prepared, and their original unwavering thoughts were slightly shaken.

However, thinking of Lin Shuya's entrustment, he regained his determination again.

"We need to go back and read the plan before we make a decision. Zhu Quan closed the information and swept his gaze to Luo Xi, "Mr. Luo, can you take a step to speak?"

Luo Xi smiled and said, "Okay." ”

The two moved to the reception room next door.

The subordinate made tea and brought it in, and then withdrew at the behest of Luo Xi.

Zhu Quan was a little surprised in his heart, why is this Mr. Luo so calm and calm? Even if she is sure, in the face of public opinion and pressure, as well as the adverse effects of this incident, she should be afraid, right? Not to mention that the industry has recently complained about UAC, which has directly caused the decline in UAC's transaction volume.

Of course, Jiayu's situation is not optimistic, and the losses are greater than those of UAC.

Luo Xi drank his tea slowly and methodically, waiting for Zhu Quan to speak.

"Mr. Luo is worthy of being a heroine among women, who can be resourceful and not chaotic in the face of danger. Zhu Quan complimented first.

Luo Xi was noncommittal, and his red lips opened slightly: "Mr. Zhu has won the award." ”

However, Mr. Luo has just entered the Asia-Pacific market, although he must have done a lot of research in the early stage, but after all, it is the first time to be involved, and some of the depths of the industry may not yet be known. I just want to remind Mr. Luo that Jiayu is not as clean as it seems on the surface. Work with them, but be careful. Zhu Quan stretched out his voice, and while speaking, he was also closely observing Luo Xi's reaction.

After Zhu Quan said this, Luo Xi's expression did not change at all, and he always smiled lightly.

Just because she had learned it early, she couldn't hold her breath, which was a taboo in negotiations.

Zhu Quan felt a little embarrassed, thought about it for a moment, and said: "UAC has a prominent reputation in the world, which is well known. I rashly stood up that day, and then I thought about it, it was indeed inappropriate, but the original intention was good. So I hope Mr. Luo doesn't take it to heart. What I said today, as soon as Mr. Luo heard it, it was my nonsense. ”

"Well, it can be seen that Mr. Zhu is also a person who loves painting. Luo Xi finally opened his mouth to talk, "As for the evaluation of Jiayu, I also hope that Mr. Zhu can tell me the reason." After all, Jiayu was our partner in the initial investigation, and it is impossible for me to be suspicious just because I have heard a few rumors, right?"

Hehe, this old fox, it seems that he wants to drive a wedge between UAC and Jiayu, since this is the case, then give him some hope. Luo Xi slandered.

Zhu Quan was a temptation, although Luo Xi's answer was vague and implicit, as if he was refusing, there were obvious traces of looseness.

Everyone knows that many times, the superficial meaning is not the most real.

Zhu Quan's eyes lit up, "Of course, what Mr. Luo said is very true. However, what I want to say to Mr. Luo is not a rumor.

The predecessor of Jiayu was a company called Jiaheng. Five years ago, this company was complained by Party A that it had lost the authenticity and returned it as a fake. It also caused quite a stir. At that time, the collector sued the association, and after the investigation, the association revoked Jiaheng's practice qualification and imposed a large amount of damages. The company then disappeared, and a year later, Jiayu appeared in a low-key manner.

The older people in the circle know that Jiaheng has done a lot of shady things behind his back, such as smuggling, reselling tattoos, and so on. As long as you have the heart to investigate, you will know that what I say is true. ”

Luo Xi lowered his eyes, took a sip of tea, and said, "But Jiayu is not Jiaheng. ”

Zhu Quan nodded yes, "Having said that, the legal person is the same." Also, that boss is not a good person. He's a man with a criminal record!"

Luo Xi held his breath and didn't let the tea in the cup spill out.

Si Junxian has a criminal record? What did he commit? Economic crimes?

Zhu Quan noticed a change in Luo Xi's expression, although it was not obvious, it showed that his words had worked.

"This man is not simple. Mr. Luo cooperates with him, and he must be more careful everywhere. ”

Luo Xi retracted his expression and returned to calm: "No matter who you cooperate with, there will definitely be trust that you should have, and there will be no shortage of appropriate vigilance." Even if you cooperate with Mr. Zhu one day, it will be the same. ”

"Yes, yes, yes. Zhu Quan responded with a smile, and then changed the conversation: "Mr. Luo, I still have one more thing I want to talk to you about." I've heard that UAC wants to set up a connection department in K-City. However, the current situation of K City is not optimistic, and in fact, the advantages in the field of art are not obvious, I don't know if Mr. Luo is willing to consider our W City? If you are interested, I can contact the senior management from it and strive for the greatest preferential treatment for you. ”

When Luo Xi heard this, he asked with a light smile: "Even if I have the intention, why do I choose you to be this middleman? ”

Zhu Quan smiled awkwardly and made a plan: "It seems that Mr. Luo still has a bad heart." Didn't I tell you just now, Jiayu...... In fact, you can consider putting the blame on their side, so that the UAC will also lose a strong competitor?"

"How to push?" Luo Xi showed interest and persuaded him.

"I can do it for you. Zhu Quan has reservations.

"Give me three days to think about it. But what we should do is still to go through the normal process, and we will talk about other things privately. Luo Xi was referring to the evaluation discussed today.

"Of course. Zhu Quan agreed.

After sending Zhu Quan away, Luo Xi held a small meeting with Jiang Lingyun and other subordinates.

Then she returned to her office and sat down at her desk, her fingers tapping rhythmically on the tabletop.

Zhu Quan's performance today was a little abnormal, but after she straightened out her thinking, she became a little clearer.

Maybe Zhu Quan won at the beginning, but after comparing the two works, he changed his mind and wanted to win over Luo Xi to deal with Si Junxian, and put forward the intention of cooperation.

Of course, there is another possibility, he can lure and provoke here in Luoxi, maybe he will go to Si Junxian in two days to get separated......

And the rumors about Jiaheng that he said, could it be that Si Junxian had touched his cheese before?

…… The possibilities seem a bit numerous. Luo Xi breathed a long sigh of relief.

After a while, she took out her mobile phone, ready to solve the question in front of her first.

A lazy voice came from across the ocean, "Xiao Xixi, do you miss me?"

Luo Xi immediately heard that this guy hadn't gotten up yet, and said with a smile: "Stinky boy, yes, I miss you, come on." ”

The other party screamed in a loud voice, and Luo Xi almost threw away his mobile phone.

Hao Nan was like a pug, swishing and saying, "Xiao Xixi, what did you just say? Please say it again, I didn't hear it." ”

Luo Xi rolled his eyes helplessly, "I said, you are careful to degenerate into a pig!"

“…… Cut. Hao Nan also rolled his eyes.

"Get down to business. Have you ever copied a painting of the Bada Shanren before?" Luo Xi asked.

"Nope. The other party replied firmly, and then pretended to be cute and asked in a long tail, "What's wrong?"

"I recently came across two identical paintings, and when compared with high magnification, they are still exactly the same. How do you explain this?" Luo Xi then told the whole thing without concealment.

Hao Nan sat on the bed, his distinctive messy hair and fell into deep thought.

A few minutes later, Luo Xi finally waited for an echo.

"I didn't do it. "This guy thought about it for so long, and actually said a nonsense.

Luo Xi was so angry that he wanted to drill over and hit him.

However, apart from Hao Nan in this world, Luo Xi really can't think of a second person who can do this.

Even Hao Nan, if he wants to create such a fake painting, he can't finish it in a year and a half.

"But no one can do it but me. Hao Nan added.

"Alright, you can continue to draw the gourd. Luo Xi didn't want to pay attention to him.

"Hulu? I've stopped playing with that thing for a long time. When Hao Nan heard this, he said disdainfully.

"Ah, I still want to open the market for you, why don't you do it again?" Luo Xi admitted that Hao Nan was indeed an artistic genius, but he was not qualitative, and he didn't do anything for long.

But everything he does, he picks on after reaching the extreme.

He is born with a superb ability to imitate that ordinary people can't even imagine.

The replica of the defect in the imperial seal was made by him.

This guy could have done it seamlessly, but because he was naughty, he replaced a ...... with his own name in the dense seals of the emperors of the past

Every time he thought of this, Luo Xi couldn't wait to open his head to see what kind of structure was inside.

Hao Nan smacked his lips, "I'm now, transfer the carrier to the jade." ”

“…… Okay, you're busy. Luo Xi made a gesture to hang up the phone.

"Oh wait...... A possibility occurred to me. Hao Nan suddenly turned up the volume, but Luo Xi fortunately didn't hang up the phone.

"You say. Luo Xi put the phone on the table and turned on the speakerphone.

"I remembered a story that Master had told me. He said that during the war, an experienced master once uncovered a painting into two, handed over one and kept one, so that the national treasure could be preserved. According to what you said, apart from replicas, I'm afraid this is the only possibility. Hao Nan knew that Luo Xi would not scold him, let alone deliberately alarmist.

"Is there such a thing?" Luo Xi couldn't believe it: "The rice paper is very thin. ”

"Yes, but ...... There are many ways to make paper. And those calligraphy and painting dealers in the past were also very shrewd. Of course, that story is just an example, otherwise the real works are not all two or two now...... "Hao Nan is very obsessed with materials, and the place where he lives is like a large laboratory and workshop.

When Luo Xi heard this, he immediately lowered his posture, persuaded him with good words, humbly asked for advice, and finally broadened his mind like an initiation.

"I'll immediately look up the history of the painting. Hao Baobao, thank you! There will be a lot of rewards in the future!" Luo Xi said into the phone.

"Ha, I'm going to kiss me now, MUA~!" Hao Nan swished.

Luo Xi immediately hung up the phone.

A message popped up on the instant messaging software, Luo Xi clicked on it, and sure enough, it was a "grievance" emoji from Hao Nan.

She was in a bright mood and her smile brightened.

On the way home, she decided to treat herself.

went to the supermarket to buy meat filling and dumpling skin, and as soon as Luo Xi entered the house, he began to busy adjusting the stuffing and cutting vegetables.

The process of cooking alone is also a process of emptying, she is in a happy mood, and she feels that the things to be solved recently have been sorted out and sorted out.

For some reason, Zhu Quan's evaluation of Si Junxian was suddenly remembered.

The movement on Luo Xi's hand slowed down by half a beat.

She didn't believe that Si Junxian was that kind of person, but she wouldn't be naïve enough to directly open up with Zhu Quan.

When the dumplings were finished and the water was boiled, the doorbell rang.

Luo Xi hurriedly opened the door, thinking that it was Si Junxian, but in a hurry he didn't think about the fact that he didn't need to ring the doorbell at all.

It turned out that it was Xiao Nan who was outside the door.

This guy is actually wearing a set of one-piece cartoon pajamas, and the long ears on the hat behind his back are about to hang to the ground.

Well, it's kind of cute.

"Beauty ......" Xiao Nan's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and her flattering appearance aroused pity.

Of course, Luo Xi is not a hungry rich woman, and goes straight to the point, "Just woke up, hungry?"

"Hey, you're so smart. Xiao Nan was cheeky, and when he saw Luo Xi turn around and walk into the house, he followed.

Isn't that obviously inviting him in? He's not stupid.

"You're such a nice guy. Xiao Nan followed all the way to the kitchen, and saw the dumplings with a bulging belly neatly arranged on the cutting board, and his eyes lit up, "Are you handmade dumplings?!

Luo Xi was speechless, "You wait a minute, the water is boiling and you can get out of the pot." ”

She originally wanted to wrap some more quick-frozen ones so that they could be eaten directly in the future, but now it seems that she is afraid that she will be able to choke on them.

"Uh-huh. No hurry, no hurry, I'll wait. Xiao Nan said, but his stomach growled.

Luo Xi shook his head and asked with a smile, "Do you want to eat?"

"Hmm. Xiao Nan pursed his lips and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"Then tell me, how did you get the title of Brother Jiu?" Luo Xi didn't want to let go of such a good opportunity to get to know Si Junxian.

But she didn't realize that why did she have the idea of inquiring about Si Junxian's private affairs?
