"I'm sorry, Sister Fang......" Li Guozhong was very afraid of Fang Zuiyun, in fact, he was older, but he called Fang Zuiyun sister: "I won't dare next time!"

"Do you think there will be a next time?" Fang Zuiyun snorted heavily: "You do things like this, I won't dare to look for you again in the future!"

"You can't blame Li Guozhong for this......" Ren Xia looked at Lao Shan: "What the hell is going on?"

Lao Shan had been sitting next to him and listening expressionlessly, without speaking, and only when he heard Ren Xia's question did he ask: "What's going on?"

"What traces did you leave in your paintings?"

Lao Shan smiled awkwardly: "How do you know?"

"I guess. Ren Xia said word by word: "If you really imitate it seriously, you can make it exactly the same as the original, you must have deliberately done something in the painting so that others can see it." ”

Lao Shan was even more embarrassed: "Actually...... Nothing ......."

Fang Zuiyun was surprised: "What are you doing, Lao Shan?"

Lao Shan stumbled and told the story, and it turned out that in the lines of the painting, his signature was hidden.

Speaking of which, Lao Shan's doing this is not a special case, but all top imitation masters will leave their own traces on the work. On the one hand, in order to brush up on the sense of existence, although I imitate other people's works, there are also my own things on them, and on the other hand, based on pragmatism, there are a large number of imitations of any famous work, so that I can distinguish myself from other people's works.

Zhang Zhigang knew the name of Lao Shan, but Lao Shan didn't know Zhang Zhigang, when Lao Shan collected the mountain, Zhang Zhigang had not yet come out of the mountain. Therefore, Lao Shan didn't think much about it, and left his signature out of habit, but he didn't expect to be discovered by Zhang Zhigang.

"Did I say it......" Ren Xia smiled meaningfully: "When Zhang Zhigang pointed out that this was a fake, I knew that there must have been some unique traces, but Zhang Zhigang wouldn't say it easily, so I didn't ask." ”

"Lao Shan, how can you do this?" Fang Zuiyun said to Lao Shan very disappointed: "It's rare for me to ask you to help me do something, but you actually messed things up!"

"How do I know......" Lao Shan shook his head vigorously: "I haven't imitated a painting for more than ten years, which is why you find my head, and I am willing to make a move." ”

Ren Xia said nonchalantly: "It's okay." ”

Fang Zuiyun was stunned: "It's okay?"

"Didn't I say before that people like Lao Shan, who have reached the pinnacle of a skill to the extreme, will inevitably pursue self-realization. So I understand Lao Shan's approach very well......" Ren Xia smiled meaningfully: "Everyone knows that there are a lot of counterfeit US dollar banknotes, and I remember that there was a super counterfeit banknote in history, which was exactly the same as the real banknote, and even the Federal Reserve experts couldn't tell it." How did the case be solved later, the counterfeiter added his signature to the pattern of the counterfeit banknote, which is the only difference from the real banknote. ”

Li Guozhong said with a smile: "So the failure of Laoshan is inevitable. ”

Ren Xia smiled coldly: "It's not that Lao Shan failed, but that you failed!"

Li Guozhong was very embarrassed: "I ...... I really didn't mean to. ”

"To be precise, we all failed. Ren Xia shook his head: "Zhang Zhigang is more shrewd than expected, and the fundamental reason for the failure is that we underestimated it." ”

Li Guozhong nodded vigorously: "Yes!

Ren Xia stretched out his hand: "Don't say anything else, return the money to me." ”

Li Guozhong knew what Ren Xia was talking about, of course, it was the money to buy Xu Xiqiang's painting, and immediately transferred it back to Ren Xia's account with his mobile phone, not even a penny.

This incident made Ren Xia greatly appreciated, Li Guozhong did not run away after taking his own money, but came to Laoshan honestly, asked for the money back, and did not find an excuse to delay. Although Li Guozhong's mind is not enough, his credit is still first-class, and such a person can be entrusted with a big responsibility.

Fang Zuiyun asked helplessly, "What should I do next?"

Ren Xia Xuan replied to Fang Zuiyun, but told Li Guozhong: "I guess Zhang Zhigang will call you immediately, first, ask who Xu Xiqiang is, you just need to answer that you don't know." I speculate that he may ask you to help investigate, you just need to agree, and I will arrange the rest, and the second thing, he will definitely let you sell Lao Shan's fake to him, saying that you have already sold it to someone else. ”

Li Guozhong didn't understand: "Since it's fake, why does Zhang Zhigang still want it?"

This question was answered by Fang Zuiyun: "I said, Li Guozhong, no wonder you have been an art dealer for so long, and there is no improvement until now." Fang Zuiyun shook his head, and said: "Who said that fake paintings must be worthless, the key is to see who imitates them, fine imitation paintings are very expensive, if the famous imitation is even more expensive." You know Zhang Daqian, in the early years, he imitated the famous Shi Tao in the early Qing Dynasty, if you can get such a fake, you will be developed. ”

"That's right. Ren Xia told Li Guozhong: "Since Lao Shan is a top master, this painting is worth a lot of money, and if you meet someone who doesn't know, you may be able to sell it as a genuine product." In fact, Zhang Zhigang is interested in this painting, but it is inconvenient to negotiate the price with you in front of me just now, so I can only contact you afterwards. ”

As soon as Ren Xia's voice fell, Li Guozhong's mobile phone rang, and Li Guozhong glanced at the number: "It's really Zhang Zhigang." ”

"Zhang Zhigang really thinks I'm stupid and fast?" Ren Xia smiled: "I've already dug a bigger hole for him!"

Fang Zuiyun immediately told Li Guozhong: "Pick up the phone, put it on the speakerphone, let me listen, what Zhang Zhigang said!"

Li Guozhong picked up the phone and drove it to speakerphone, put the phone on the table, and Zhang Zhigang's voice immediately sounded: "Old Li, where are you, have you woken up?"

"At home. Li Guozhong said lazily: "I'll go out later, there is still a drinking party." ”

"I said, you drink less, drinking is too wrong...... Zhang Zhigang said very regretfully: "When you go to my office today, I see that you don't seem to have woken up yet, so I don't have anything to continue talking to you." ”

"What are you going to talk about?"

"Do you know who Xu Xiqiang is?"

"Is that the original author of the painting that Ren Xia bought?" Li Guozhong said, and glanced at Ren Xia with no peace of mind, because he said that Ren Xia was a turtle, and he was worried that Ren Xia would be angry.

But Ren Xia nodded with a smile, and gave Li Guozhong a thumbs up, signaling that he had done a good job.

"That's really a turtle, in fact, I don't know anything about art, but I have to be elegant. Zhang Zhigang also thinks that Ren Xia is a turtle: "However, he can spend five million to buy Xu Xiqiang's paintings, I don't think it will be for nothing." Even if this person is really stupid and fast, the money is not so casually spent, otherwise it is impossible to have so much money. ”

"I don't know who Xu Xiqiang is. ”

"Where did you get that painting?"

"I forgot about ...... too" Li Guozhong yawned: "I really drank too much last night, and I remembered that I still had to meet you, so I took all the paintings I received recently, and you asked me where this painting came from, I have to think about it." ”
