"That's right. Zhang Zhigang agreed with this judgment: "It may have been left many years ago, and it happened to be bought by this stupid hat." ”

"What?" Li Guozhong pretended to be very surprised: "I really don't know!"

Zhang Zhigang sneered and asked, "Do you really not know, or do you deliberately lie to me?"

"Why should I lie to you?" Li Guozhong pretended to be very aggrieved and said: "If I want to deceive you, I will take someone else's fake, I don't know where Lao Shan is, where do you let me go to get Lao Shan's fake?"

There is a detail that needs to be said here, Lao Shan is very famous in the art circle, but after the mountain was closed many years ago, his people have disappeared. The reason is very simple, because Lao Shan's fake is almost true, there are too many people who want Lao Shan to help with the fake, if Lao Shan doesn't hide, I don't know how much trouble there will be. Whether it is Zhang Zhigang or Li Guozhong, they don't know where Lao Shan is. In fact, Lao Shan is hiding in the painters' village, where there are too many people in the art circle, but no one knows that Laoshan is his neighbor.

Of course, Fang Zuiyun was able to find Lao Shan, and after Li Guozhong was found by Fang Zuiyun in the painter's village, he knew that Lao Shan was here.

When Zhang Zhigang heard this, he thought about it carefully, and also felt that Li Guozhong was not capable of finding Lao Shan: "It seems that you have also been deceived." ”

Ren Xia asked tentatively: "Then you can't have this painting?"

"Of course not. Zhang Zhigang shook his head vigorously: "What are you going to do with fake paintings?" ”

"But I think it's true. Ren Xia asked tentatively: "How can you tell it's a fake?"

"Every famous painter has his own creative habits, such as brushstrokes, the depiction of certain details, which is also an important sign to distinguish the authenticity. Ordinary counterfeiters just try to imitate as much as possible, but after reaching a certain level, people like Lao Shan are not satisfied with simply imitating others, but want to leave their own traces, which are as unique as fingerprints......" Zhang Zhigang said with some pride: "I have been in the art world for so many years, and these famous counterfeiters all know in their hearts who painted a fake painting, I can see at a glance." ”

Ren Xia nodded: "I see." ”

Li Guozhong was very embarrassed: "Since it's fake, then ...... I'll go back first. ”

"Wait a minute. Ren Xia picked up the work signed by Xu Xiqiang: "How to sell this pair?"

Li Guozhong came here this time, mainly to promote Picasso's fakes, and the other paintings were used to fill up the numbers, and I don't understand why Ren Xia asked this pair: "This one...... It's not a famous painting. ”

"Whether it's a famous painting or not, I know in my heart, and I just say how much it is. ”

Li Guozhong stumbled and replied: "Is this...... It's not expensive, if you can afford it, just give 100,000. ”

"Give me your account. Ren Xia said directly: "I'll transfer money to you right away." ”

Zhang Zhigang was somewhat surprised when he saw that Ren Xia was going to spend 100,000 yuan to buy this painting, but he immediately reacted: "It's better like this, I'll pay 200,000 yuan and sell it to me." ”

Ren Xia was a little unhappy and said to Zhang Zhigang: "I finally saw a painting, you came out to rob me, what does this mean?"

"It just so happens that I also like this painting very much...... Zhang Zhigang really wanted to know why Ren Xia bought this painting, so he said with a smile: "This is not a famous painting, and the author has never heard of it, or Mr. Ren will simply let me forget it." ”

"No, I can't. Ren Xia said decisively: "I have to have this painting, I will pay 200,000." ”

Zhang Zhigang immediately raised the price: "I will pay 300,000." ”

"A million. Ren Xia was a little impatient: "I said, I have to have this painting, no matter how much money you pay, I am higher than you." ”

Zhang Zhigang gritted his teeth: "Two million." ”

"Five million. Ren Xia looked at Zhang Zhigang with a smile: "You can also see how much money I have in my account, and the starting price I offered, if you want to increase the price, I will accompany you to the end." It's just that the two of us are also friends, and it's not interesting for you to do this. ”

"That's right, we are friends, then I won't increase the price, let it be to you. Zhang Zhigang pretended to be very generous on the surface, but in fact, he didn't dare to continue bidding, you must know that five million can already buy a similar famous work. If Ren Xia withdraws from the bidding, he will really let him paint a few million and buy it, and no one will know if he can sell it to anyone.

Ren Xia wanted to come to Li Guozhong's account, and after paying on his mobile phone, he asked Li Guozhong: "Is there any work by Xu Xiqiang that is still there?"

"Not yet. Li Guozhong's IQ was somewhat online, and he realized that Ren Xia might be trying to do something, so he immediately said: "However, I can immediately activate the friendship relationship and help you find it everywhere." Don't worry, I'm wide enough, as long as you say what you want, I'll definitely be able to find it for you. ”

"I'll leave my contact information to you, if you can still find Xu Xiqiang, you must contact me as soon as possible. Ren Xia glanced at Zhang Zhigang vigilantly and added: "Don't tell anyone else." ”

Li Guozhong nodded vigorously: "No problem." ”

"That's it. Ren Xia picked up Xu Xiqiang's painting and said to Zhang Zhigang: "It's nothing, I'll go back first." ”

"Good. Zhang Zhigang nodded hurriedly: "I'll send you." ”

Ren Xia left, Li Guozhong also left, and after Zhang Zhigang sent the two people away, he immediately returned to the office and turned on the computer, and began to search for "Xu Xiqiang" on the Internet.

This name is not very special, there are many people with the same name and surname, some are businessmen, some are academic, and there are no painters.

Zhang Zhigang was very strange why Ren Xia spent so much money to buy the work of an unknown painter. Although Ren Xia is stupid and fast, the money will not be spent casually, and five million is not a small amount.

Unable to find the results on the Internet, Zhang Zhigang began to call everywhere again, asking friends if they knew about a painter named Xu Xiqiang.

As a result, everyone replied, "I've never heard of it."

Besides, on Ren Xia's side, after leaving Zhigang Art Auction House, he went separately from Li Guozhong.

Ren Xia made a call to Fang Zuiyun: "Inform Li Guozhong and go to Lao Shan's house immediately." ”

Fang Zuiyun immediately understood: "Li Guozhong messed things up?"

"It did mess up. Ren Xia said meaningfully: "However, Li Guozhong can't be blamed for this matter, even if it is according to the original plan, it will not succeed." ”

"Got it. Fang Zuiyun sighed: "Let's talk about it when we meet." ”

Li Guozhong knew that he had a heavy responsibility, so he didn't need to be notified by Fang Zuiyun, and went directly to Lao Shan's residence.

After Ren Xia arrived at Laoshan, Li Guozhong had already arrived and told the story as it was.

"You're too misguided!" Fang Zuiyun was very dissatisfied: "Today is a big business of tens of millions, can't you go back and rest early, do you have to drink until midnight?"
