Chapter 182: Initial Success
"This ......" Old man Xu opened his eyes, seeing that everyone was now looking at him, it was even more difficult to say. He frowned and pondered for a while, and said, "This painting ......"
Old man Xu was hesitant and didn't say the remaining half of the sentence, Zheng Zheng saw that Old Man Xu might be trying to fight against himself, and said with a smile: "This is the true work of Tang Bohu that has not been handed down, made during the seclusion of the Peach Blossom Nunnery." β
Zheng Zheng is forcing Old Man Xu with words, after saying this, he looked at Old Man Xu with a smile, and waited to hear what Old Man Xu said. If Old Man Xu really has that thick enough skin, he will be ashamed to say that this thing is fake, and Zheng Zheng also has his own words waiting to deal with him.
"Ahem......"
Old man Xu coughed twice, and his face turned red, he really had the cheekiness to say something against his heart just now. However, as soon as Zheng Zheng said this, Old Man Xu's face was not so thick, and he couldn't insist that this thing was fake, so he could only cough dryly, nodded, and coped: "Hmm...... It's hard to say whether it's Tang Bohu, well, it's hard to say...... But it should be something from the Ming Dynasty. β
This is basically no different from affirming Zheng Zheng's statement, the so-called "hard to say" is just to find a step for yourself, even if you slap your face, you can't slap your face hurt, right? Everyone here knows more about Old Man Xu's position, so as soon as he said this, everyone here almost understood it in their hearts.
This statement turned around in everyone's hearts, and there were a few gasps of cold air. The middle-aged man who asked earlier frowned, looked at the painting, and said tentatively, "Is it really ......?"
Before he finished speaking, the middle-aged man also took care of Old Man Xu's face and didn't say it thoroughly.
"Hmm......" Old man Xu responded as if he had agreed, then closed his eyes and closed his eyes to recuperate. The middle-aged man wanted to speak, but he pondered that Old Man Xu was too hard to speak, and if he said anything to him, he didn't have the eyesight to see, forget it, let's ask the original owner. He turned to Bai Peng, with a friendly smile on his face: "Old Bai, can you tell me?"
"Ah...... Yes. Bai Peng coped with two stumbling sounds. He didn't know what was going on with this thing, let alone how this painting was Tang Bohu's real handiwork, so where did he know where to go? He coped with it twice, pondered, come on, you Zheng Zheng took this thing, or should it be left to you to solve it. He nodded at Zheng Zheng, with a posture and tone, as if supporting his subordinates: "Xiao Zheng, tell Brother Li, I have a cold and I am not very well." β
"Brother Xiao Zheng, I'm sorry for you. Chong Zheng Zheng, who was known as Brother Li, smiled and said.
Zheng Zheng had already waited for Bai Peng to kick the ball to himself, otherwise this play would not be able to sing at all. He extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand, stood up and dressed himself, starting from the seal of "Escape from Zen Immortals" on this painting, connecting Tang Bohu's life and mentality, and then extending it to the artistic conception of this painting, repeating the time he said to Xie Miao in the treasure cave before.
After saying that, the room was silent. Several buyers also nodded again and again when they heard it just now, and with Old Man Xu's reaction, they also believed that this painting was Tang Bohu's authentic work. These eyes were fixed on the painting, and they were all pondering their own thoughts.
The middle-aged man surnamed Li couldn't help it at first, nodded at Bai Peng with a smile, and asked, "Lao Bai, okay, how much price do you think is appropriate for this painting?"
When these words came out, the remaining buyers who didn't make a sound all looked at Bai Peng, waiting for him to speak. The middle-aged man surnamed Li also knew that he was too anxious to do this, and it was not appropriate, but this kind of thing really couldn't slow down. The ins and outs of this painting are clear here, fake can't be fake, and Lao Li himself has a bit of vision, and it can be seen from this paper that this will not be a fake fake. If someone gets the first step, then there's really no place to cry.
"Hehehehe, don't be impatient. β
Although Zheng Zheng didn't say it, Bai Peng naturally had a weight in his heart, this painting would definitely not be sold here, just to give a few people a look. Besides, the original intention of today is not this, but to involve the curiosity of several buyers about the upcoming black market, and let them go to the black market, which is the purpose. So Bai Peng pondered for a while, and said with a smile: "Everyone, I made it very clear when I invited the elders to come over, we are meeting today, and I will let you take a look at the good things you have recently gotten, whether this thing is sold or not, it is not today's matter." β
When a sentence was spoken, there was a look of disappointment on everyone's faces. Bai Peng looked at everyone's faces, and said unhurriedly: "Moreover, how do you know that I only got such a good thing, and there is nothing else?"
Seeing that no one was talking, Bai Peng smiled, and didn't care that Wang Kang was still sitting next to him, and said: "I used to do a few small auctions, and I also received your care, but later although I also had the idea of opening a market, it was a pity that the opportunity was not completed." This matter must be clear to the elders. β
A few buyers looked at the old man Xu who closed his eyes and recuperated, and then looked at Wang Kang, who was sitting on the side as if nothing happened, and none of them took a stubble. How could they not know about this? It's just that they don't care about themselves, pretending to be deaf and dumb.
Bai Peng smiled, didn't continue to dwell on this matter, and said loudly: "Now I have found a lot of good things, so I might as well tell you clearly that my black market is about to open." β
When these words came out, few people expressed too much surprise or surprise, and they were also a little mentally prepared for Bai Peng's announcement today. Before coming, everyone couldn't wipe off their feelings, and it was not appropriate to come, and Ben didn't have much expectation for what Bai Peng took out, just to deal with it. It's just that this painting is in my eyes, and what Bai Peng said is much more weighty, and it's hard to say whether Bai Peng has any other good things, but with such a thing alone, it's worth everyone's time.
But these people still can't say this attitude, and in the end it still has to fall on Old Man Xu, after all, these buyers are all headed by him, he doesn't nod, and everyone can't agree clearly.
So after Bai Peng finished saying this, no one picked up the stubble, Bai Peng didn't speak, everyone smiled on their faces, but their eyes were floating towards Old Man Xu.
This old man Xu is also really calm, although he heard it clearly, but he just didn't open his eyes, and he was stunned to wait. Several buyers waited for a while, and saw that Old Man Xu still closed his eyes and did not speak, and a few of them coughed a few times to clear their throats, hoping that this would remind Old Man Xu, but Old Man Xu still closed his eyes steadily, and he had the intention of continuing to consume.
Zheng Zheng secretly gave a thumbs up to Old Man Xu, or did he say that this has to be an old fritter, this psychological quality and this cheekiness, who can practice like this without twenty or thirty years of beating? But a thumbs up is a thumbs up, but Zheng Zheng can't watch this matter just consume here, he lifted the teapot and poured tea on the cup in front of Old Man Xu, and said softly: "Uncle Xu, have a cup of tea." β
Old man Xu's eyelids trembled, and he opened his eyes - a strong psychological quality does not mean that he is shameless to die, Zheng Zheng greeted him clearly, and if he didn't open his eyes again, it would be too bad. He looked at everyone, smiled, and said, "If you are old, you are old, and if you don't accept old age, you can't do it, and you will fall asleep when you speak...... I just heard what you guys were talking about in a daze, but I didn't hear clearly, who is going to tell me again, old bone, right?"
Bai Peng repeated with Old Man Xu very patiently, Old Man Xu snorted his teeth, frowned and shook his head: "Oh, the black market...... I'm lazy, and the weather isn't very warm, so I really don't want to run around...... Let's see, if I'm free, I'll go, if I'm not free," Old Man Xu smiled at the other buyers: "I'll have to trouble the old ones to come back and tell me about the rarity of seeing them on the black market." β
This shows an attitude of Old Man Xu: It doesn't matter whether he goes by himself or not, it depends on what he says to Wang Kang, but he is willing to let these buyers go. In this way, it seems that Old Man Xu also gave Wang Kang a face in his private capacity, but he did not use the face of all his people to give Wang Kang face.
This is also something that can't be helped, this pair of Tang Bohu's true works is here, Bai Peng's words are too weighty, even if Old Man Xu wants to protect Wang Kang, a junior he is very optimistic about, it is not easy to do too much. After all, those buyers led by him also came to the factor of Old Man Xu's accurate vision, if he didn't do things clearly, this person's heart would be scattered. So weighing left and right, he can only use his private identity to make an attitude that is not necessarily how.
Even if this matter is finalized, Zheng Zheng and Bai Peng did not lose in this matter, because they won several other buyers after all. However, from Wang Kang's point of view, Wang Kang did not lose, after all, Old Man Xu has not completely expressed his position, and he is still on his side for the time being. It's just that the current attitude of Old Man Xu is also swaying from side to side, and it is still difficult to say whose side he will completely stand on in the future.
After the matter was clear, there was nothing else between everyone, and after a few words, everyone took their leave. Wang Kang also walked in a chic manner, and when he left, he said goodbye to Zheng Zheng and Bai Peng with a smile, but there was no very clichΓ© thing to say here.
"Hoo ......"
When everyone left, Bai Peng leaned back against the chair and closed his eyes, letting out a sigh of relief. He slowly calmed down, opened his eyes and said gratefully to Zheng Zheng on the side: "Brother, thanks to you." If it weren't for your painting here, we wouldn't be able to talk about today's affairs. β
Bai Peng understood that the reason why Old Man Xu was willing to take a step back in the end was all because this painting was really weighty, and if he changed something else, he might really harden Wang Kang. When Bai Peng learned that Wang Kang was also coming, he knew that there must be someone standing on Wang Kang's side, but he didn't expect that it was Old Man Xu who was standing on Wang Kang's side, and this Old Man Xu's attitude was beyond imagination, even if he was still on Wang Kang's side in the end, although his attitude was not so clear, but it was also an attitude.
