"Okay. Zhang Zhigang was very disappointed: "You must recall it well, where did this painting come from, if you remember who Xu Xiqiang is, it will be better." ”

Li Guozhong walked and agreed wholeheartedly: "Okay." ”

"If you find anything, don't tell others......" Zhang Zhigang said very seriously: "Be sure to notify me as soon as possible!"

"What's in it for you?"

"What benefits do you want?" Zhang Zhigang asked: "How about giving you a large commission?"

Li Guozhong hurriedly said: "A word is a certainty!"

"There is another thing......" Zhang Zhigang asked tentatively: "Laoshan's fake, why don't you sell it to me." ”

Li Guozhong immediately replied: "It's gone." ”

"Gone?" Zhang Zhigang was very surprised: "Where did you go?"

"I called a friend just now and said that I got a painting of Picasso that it was a fake, painted by Lao Shan......" Li Guozhong lied casually: "My friend spent money to buy it without saying a word!"

"How much did you sell it?" Zhang Zhigang immediately said: "I will increase the price, how about you sell it to me?"

"Isn't it a fake, why do you want to buy it?"

"You don't care about it, I'm useful anyway......" Zhang Zhigang asked again: "How much did it cost?"

Li Guozhong continued to lie: "Nine million!"

"Huh?" Zhang Zhigang was quite surprised: "Why is it so expensive, even if it is a real work of the same period, I am afraid that it is only this amount." ”

"My friend said that although it is a fake, it is a fake from Laoshan after all......" Li Guozhong said as a matter of course: "After a few years, you can be promoted two or three times!"

The price is too high, and Zhang Zhigang can't afford it: "Okay...... Sold and sold......"

"What else do you have to do?"

"Do you know where the old mountain is?"

"I don't know. Li Guozhong shook his head vigorously: "I'm not familiar with the name Laoshan, or you say it, I know." ”

"Don't you know Lao Shan?" Zhang Zhigang asked suspiciously, "So where did you get the paintings?"

"Didn't you say that you didn't believe it when it was found in a small French village. Li Guozhong said impatiently: "It's nothing, I'll hang up, and I have to go drinking." ”

Zhang Zhigang sighed: "Okay." ”

After Li Guozhong hung up the phone, he hurriedly asked Ren Xia: "How did I say?"

"Very good!" Ren Xia gave Li Guozhong a thumbs up: "It's better than I expected!"

Li Guozhong breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good." ”

Ren Xia turned to ask Lao Shan: "You said that you collected the mountain many years ago, so after you collected the mountain, do you still have contact with the original circle?"

"Of course not, the vast majority of friends don't come and go anymore, and only a few people keep in touch, such as Mr. Fang......" After a pause, Lao Shan continued: "Everyone knows that my level is so high, and some people who want me to cheat can't push it off, so they just hide." ”

Fang Zuiyun didn't say a word when he helped: "Lao Shan has actually lived a secluded life over the years. ”

"Let's go somewhere else and live in seclusion. Ren Xia proposed: "It's not safe here." ”

Lao Shan didn't understand: "Why?"

"Zhang Zhigang asked Li Guozhong just now, he didn't know where Lao Shan was, indicating that he had begun to suspect that this fake was recently released. Lao Shan has such skills, which is equivalent to having a money printing machine, as long as he keeps cheating, he can ask for as much as he wants. Ren Xia smiled coldly: "I'm worried that Zhang Zhigang will find here." ”

Ren Xia is right. Fang Zuiyun very much agreed with Ren Xia's judgment: "If Zhang Zhigang finds here, the next thing is not Lao Shan's final say, and Lao Shan will definitely be coerced to continue to cheat." ”

Lao Shan was very helpless: "Where can I go?"

"I have a house in Guangbei Water Town, and I never go to live there, so it's better for you to move there. Fang Zuiyun proposed: "The scenery there is good, just so you can help me take care of my home." ”

Lao Shan was very disappointed: "This ...... I've lived here for a long time, I'm so used to it, I really don't want to leave. ”

"Safety comes first. Ren Xia said word by word: "When my next plan is completed, so that Zhang Zhigang can't turn over completely, it's not too late for you to move back." ”

Fang Zuiyun hurriedly asked, "What's your next plan?"

"I was wrong. Ren Xia smiled meaningfully: "When I first started, I said that the most valuable ones are the works of artists who have become famous and have not yet been discovered. In fact, the most valuable are the artists who have not yet become famous, and whoever can find such an artist will make a fortune. ”：

"That's right!" Li Guozhong was reminded: "Picasso remained unknown until he met a later agent, who made Picasso popular, including Cézanne, Van Gogh, Matisse and other famous painters. ”

Ren Xia said meaningfully: "If you just resell famous masterpieces, no matter how much money Zhang Zhigang can make, there will always be a number." But if you dig out a famous person by hand, then the money you can make is immeasurable. ”

Li Guozhong followed Ren Xia's train of thought and continued: "Moreover, it is better for this famous artist to be a dead person, if it is a living person, then he can continue to create in the future, and the number of private works in the world is very limited, and the price can continue to soar." ”

"That's the truth. Ren Xia was very satisfied with Li Guozhong's IQ performance this time: "After Marquez's death, his works were sold out on the Internet; after Yang Jiang's death, the WeChat circle of friends was full of her fans; after the death of the famous Mexican writer Fuentes, many people who had never heard of this name rushed to Baidu to check the relevant information, and then buy related works online...... The death of a painter will cause the price of the work to skyrocket, and this is the same reason. ”

Lao Shan agrees with Ren Xia's plan, but there is a question: "Where do we go to find an obscure painter who has passed away?"

"No need to look for it. Ren Xia smiled meaningfully: "We make one ourselves." ”

Lao Shan still didn't understand: "How to make it?"

"Xu Xiqiang. Ren Xia told Lao Shan: "Those who know know that this is your pseudonym, and those who don't know will think that he is an unknown painter." ”

Li Guozhong suddenly realized: "No wonder you want to buy Xu Xiqiang's painting at a high price!"

"I dug a bigger pit for Zhang Zhigang. Ren Xia said very seriously: "We made a painter out of thin air, the name is Xu Xiqiang, I have even thought of the character, this person has loved painting since childhood, and has drawn a lot of inspiration from Van Gogh's works, combined with his own ideas to form his own school." He died in his twenties and lived in the painter's village where he was unknown, leaving behind a large number of paintings, which have never been known. ”

This person gave Fang Zuiyun inspiration: "Since Laoshan is going to move, simply transform Laoshan here and treat it as Xu Xiqiang's former residence." ”
