Chapter 263: The Qin Family's Layout (I)

Zhou You does not have a deep understanding of calligraphy and painting, but only remembers the evaluation of Zhao Mengfu in the book: his style of writing is charming, Xiuyi, strict and neat, familiar with penmanship, known as "Zhao Ti", and Yan Zhenqing, Liu Gongquan, Ouyang Xun and called the four masters of regular script in the Yuan Dynasty. Zhao Mengfu is also known as the second generation of Wang Xi.

Needless to say, Wang Xizhi's name can be said to be "Wang Xizhi's second generation", which shows his attainments in calligraphy.

"Who is Zhao Mengfu?"

This time it was Mr. Zhang's turn, and they were puzzled.

After Zhou You explained a little, he could only say bitterly: "Boss Jin, I can't identify this calligraphy for a while, if you trust the contemptible person, the contemptible person can be sent to the best appraiser in the country." ”

The very short boss Jin thought for a moment and said: "It's not that the contemptible person can't trust Mr. Zhou's personality, it's that the contemptible person is a little urgent this time, and he promised a very important customer to make a high-grade jade ring, so he took the liberty to come this time." ”

"That's it!"

Zhou You looked at the sticker in his hand in embarrassment.

Suddenly, Zhou You remembered the information that Xu Lao had sent to him before, and without saying a word, he went into the study, searched urgently, and finally took out a rather secret information. Combined with the records in the materials, Zhou You began to identify Zhao Mengfu's character stickers.

First of all, Zhao Mengfu is not as vulgar as recorded in some history books. Because in modern times, Kang Youwei despised Zhao as the emperor of the Song Dynasty and entered the Yuan Dynasty as an official, so his calligraphy was extremely devalued. So that the world only Tao Zhao words tactful and fluent, but do not know its external show and inner rigidity, after the age of sixty the work is even more spicy and heavy, there is no soft and flattering atmosphere.

Secondly, in the general atmosphere of most calligraphers in the Song and Yuan dynasties, Zhao Mengfu was only good at line and cursive style, but he was able to study various fonts, and learned from the strengths of each family, forming a series of his own. Later generations learned a lot of Zhao Mengfu's calligraphy, and Zhao Mengfu's characters were very popular in Korea and Japan.

Combining these two features, Zhou You quickly caught some signs in the stickers.

The old spicy is heavy, and a masculine spirit swells from the inside out. The most amazing thing is that between the fonts, you can vaguely see the taste of various fonts, which are delicate and elegant, but they are not strict and round, which is really rare.

"Maybe it's true!"

Zhou You muttered, and began to think about how to exchange with the other party.

In fact, Zhou You did not know that Zhao Mengfu had made a lot of paintings and calligraphy in his life, even if he suffered the destruction of time, but because of his position in history, he was carefully preserved by many well-intentioned people, so his works are not very rare in the collection world, but most of them are collected by major museums and have not circulated in the market, so it seems a little lonely and unheard.

After all, traveling around is not perfect, even if there are many predecessors in the guidance, but the lack of experience is not talent and education can make up. Perhaps what Zhou You needs most now is not to learn, but to get in touch with the collecting world on a deeper level and increase his experience.

Seeing Zhou You's hesitation, Boss Jin was really worried that the transaction would not be successful, so he gritted his teeth after thinking for a while and said: "Mr. Zhou, I really need high-grade jadeite to deal with the scene now, otherwise I will offend that distinguished customer, and our jewelry store will really be in danger." In this way, I don't want Mr. Zhou to be difficult, so let's sign an agreement first, this post will be mortgaged to Mr. Zhou at a price of five million, if Mr. Zhou later determines that it is false, then I will be responsible for compensating the five million, but if it is true, then our transaction will be established. ”

"If it's fake, the jadeite is consumed for you, and you are equivalent to using money to buy the unavoidable glass species, which can be regarded as taking a small advantage. ”

Zhou You muttered very dissatisfied, but then thought about his own judgment, and felt that even if it was a fake, what he lost was just a mere jadeite, and there was a better jadeite at home, so he nodded and agreed: "It's okay, it's fairer this way." It's just that my small floating glass species can at least be worth thousands of dollars, but it can't be made up for by your stickers. ”

When Mr. Xiao Zhang saw the opportunity, he hurriedly shouted: "What about our things?"

"Yours?"

Zhou You felt that the previous things were okay, at least they could enrich his own treasury, so he nodded.

The fat boss who didn't make a deal was afraid of missing such an opportunity, so he hurriedly said to Mr. Xiao Zhang: "Don't miss me! I will definitely ask that friend to exchange more high-quality imitation products, you can rest assured." ”

Everyone came together, and Mr. Zhang naturally would not leave the fat boss.

At this time, Zhou You also checked the remaining rare books, and said: "All the rare books of Boss Jin are good, and they can be sold for about six million in total!"

"That's great!"

Mr. Xiao Zhang breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Lao Wei's oil paintings and Benba pots are worth five million, and all the ancient and rare books of Boss Jin add up to about six million. ”

There is also a considerable price difference between high-imitation boutiques. The value of the best high-quality imitations, such as Cheng imitation and Zhu imitation, can be avoided into one million, but the ordinary high-imitation boutique is 10,000 yuan, or even only 3 or 4,000 yuan in value, which is a hundredfold gap.

And the high-imitation boutique shown by the chubby Boss Wei is obviously not at the level of Cheng Fang and Zhu Fang, and it is even inferior to the pastel Fulu Shou pattern bowl obtained by traveling around Qingliuzhai in the provincial capital. Naturally, the price will not be high, so before the trip, it is said that you must win by quantity.

Zhou You saw that Li Yidao's face was a little embarrassed, and he wanted to say something, but he was embarrassed to interject, and his heart moved, and he immediately captured the mystery.

Zhou You suddenly said: "But here, I want to mention one condition. ”

Mr. Zhang, they fell silent.

Zhou You said: "I hope you can give Master Li the opportunity to carve floating glass seeds." ”

Mr. Xiao Zhang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "So that's the case! Even if you don't open your mouth, we will invite Master Li to help now." Now you don't know the name of Master Li, which is simply synonymous with professionalism and mastery, and the jade and jade he carved don't know how popular it is. ”

Zhou You couldn't think of this, so he could only be embarrassed.

"Xiao Zhang, you can't get tired of it this time!"

At this moment, a figure who was several points fatter than Boss Wei suddenly entered the door. It's not Huang Jianming, who else can there be.

As soon as Huang Jianming came in, he continued to fire: "Xiao Zhang, didn't you say that you would come together? Why did you secretly cross Chen Cang first, is there any treasure ......?"

Speaking of this, Huang Jianming was dumbfounded.

"Glass species!"

Huang Jianming almost killed the general with a pounce and snatched the floating glass seed in Zhou You's hand.

"It's really a glass species!"

Huang Jianming wiped the jadeite and shouted excitedly: "I finally know why you are sneaking around now, it is worth doing this for such a superb jadeite, and I will too!"

Everyone was immediately embarrassed.

Mr. Xiao Zhang replied with a wry smile: "It's not that I'm afraid of your financial resources. The combined wealth of the four of us is less than half of that of Mr. Huang, how dare you lead this giant tiger to share the food together. ”

Huang Jianming ignored Mr. Xiao Zhang and asked, "Xiaoyou, make a price, I won't return this piece of jade to you!"

There was more sweat on Zhou You's forehead.

However, in order to stick to the principle, Zhou You still said: "Uncle Huang, you know that I am not short of money now. ”

Huang Jianming rolled his eyes and replied, "I knew you would use such an excuse to reject me, but fortunately I was prepared." ”

After speaking, Huang Jianming actually took out a few high-definition photos and said: "These antiques are all treasures that are about to be auctioned, as long as you agree, I will immediately call them not to put them on the auction and take them down for you directly." Of course, some fees still have to be paid. ”

"Is this the tomb stolen again?"

When you see the old objects in the photos, you know that these are just unearthed Ming vessels, and you want to wash them through auction.

There are a lot of bronzes in the photo, and most of them are all kinds of drinking vessels. Zhou You, who has received "Jue", has a certain understanding of bronze wine vessels, and knows that such a complete set of wine vessels is more collectible, which is a relatively rare antique, and is naturally very excited.

Huang Jianming replied: "You don't need to pay attention to it, anyway, such things are commonplace in your circle." ”

After Zhou You looked through it hastily, he nodded and said, "The thing is good, but it's a pity that it's a little less." ”

Huang Jianming replied: "It doesn't matter, anyway, there are many such ways, at most it is a matter of time to run far away and inquire." ”

"I believe Uncle Huang will not let me down!"

The words of Zhou You are equivalent to confirming the transaction this time, and the two pieces of floating glass have found a new owner.

Huang Jianming cherished and collected the floating glass seeds, and then solemnly preached to Zhou You: "Okay, after the business is over, it's time for private matters." ”

"Let's take our leave!"

Mr. Xiao Zhang, they are smart people, and they will leave immediately.

And the chubby Boss Wei also said goodbye: "You keep talking, let's go first." Mr. Zhou, I will definitely help you find more high-quality imitation products, please rest assured. ”

Sending Mr. Xiao Zhang and them out of the door, Zhou You responded to Huang Jianming's previous topic.

Zhou You asked, "Is it about Jiang Shao in that border city?"

Huang Jianming nodded.

Zhou You continued to ask: "What's wrong? It seems that we haven't launched it yet?"

Huang Jianming replied: "People are not fools, they attracted his attention when you returned home, and recently I heard that Xu Jie was inquiring about him, and he was even more panicked, and he actually took the initiative to throw himself into the arms of the Qin family. I have to say, you guys are doing things too roughly, how can you be so careless?"

Zhou You became more and more puzzled, and asked, "What does this have to do with the Qin family?"
