Chapter 204: Counterfeiting Expert (Part 3)
Vice President Yang soon drove to the TV station in person to meet Luo Ping and Xiao Zheng.
"Oh no! I've heard the news. You don't know, now that Tianhong Auction House has lost face, it is estimated that it will be eyeing you, so be careful in the future. Vice President Yang said to Zhao Tianming.
This guy's record is really gratifying. Tianhong Auction House has created so much trouble for Jinhe Auction House these days, and he has long hated it. Zhao Tianming helped the auction house find the venue, and he was undoubtedly the happiest.
What's more, two treasures were also brought in and ready to be auctioned by the Jinhe Auction House.
"Head-to-head, I'm not afraid of them. Zhao Tianming said.
I'm afraid that people will play yin, like Chen Daosheng last time, find someone to get some "stolen goods" and stuff it for him, and frame him. If it weren't for his quick reaction, it would be really bitter and unspeakable.
"You don't have to worry, are you old Qi and Director Hong all for decoration? They are not obvious, but their energy is not small. Although Tianhong Auction House hates you, it doesn't dare to do anything to you? I'm more worried that they will poach you. Vice President Yang said with a smile.
This is not a joke, now Tianhong Auction House is ambitious!
Zhao Tianming's ability is outstanding, after this show, Tianhong Auction House has a deeper understanding, it is impossible not to have this idea. Anyway, they are not short of funds now, and they are constantly acquiring and merging, etc., and talents are also what they urgently need.
"Ignore the bad stuff for now. This is Luo Ping, classmate Zheng, Lu Yating......" Zhao Tianming began to introduce.
Next, Xiao Zheng and Luo Ping handed it over to Vice President Yang, and they discussed it, Zhao Tianming didn't want to worry about the auction house, and it belonged to the existence that needed to squeak.
He took Lu Yating to Qi Lao's antique shop, and with Qi Lao's knowledge, he should also be able to unlock the secret of the manuscript.
"New girlfriend?" Qi Lao asked with a smile.
He looked at this girl, she had a good temperament, she should be from a scholarly family, with culture and connotation! This kind of girl is the most pleasing to these old people.
In contrast, although Ye Qiushuang is also good, he is a little older.
Zhao Tianming smiled bitterly: "Old Qi, don't be joking." This is a university teacher, whom I met on a TV show. She has an ancient book, and I know it's made up of two parts, but I don't know exactly who wrote it. I came to ask you for advice. ”
Lu Yating greeted Qi Lao generously, and then gave a salute: "It's troublesome." ”
She peeked at Zhao Tianming and thought: Does this guy have a girlfriend?
But if you think about it, it doesn't feel strange, it's rare for such an excellent man to have no girlfriend.
Qi Lao took the book, opened a few pages and glanced at it a few times, and then put it down.
Zhao Tianming and Lu Yating were very surprised, and they still had doubts, are you done reading it?
Qi Lao also saw Zhao Tianming's question, and he smiled: "Wait a minute, I'll take a thing out and let you see it." ”
After speaking, he went to the inner library and quickly took out a book, which was almost the same as Lu Yating's.
Qi Lao handed it to Zhao Tianming and motioned for him to look at it himself.
Zhao Tianming opened the book with a puzzled look, and the font and content in it surprised him. Lu Yating, who was next to her, looked at it for a while, and her beautiful eyes widened.
This......
It's too much of a coincidence, right?
"It's the same book?" Lu Yating was extremely surprised.
Qi Lao nodded: "That's right! I didn't expect that the other half would fall into your hands." In both of these books, half of them are true, and the other half is imitation. ”
"Original author, I'm sure you also have a guess in your heart, right?" he looked at Zhao Tianming.
Zhao Tianming replied: "We suspect that it is the calligraphy of Li Jian, a Lingnan calligraphy master in the Qing Dynasty!"
Qi Lao praised: "Yes, judging from the handwriting, it is indeed Li Jian's calligraphy style. His style is a bit hard to imitate. Therefore, the person who imitates is a master. I've looked through the information and asked other colleagues for help. ”
Zhao Tianming and Lu Yating both sounded seriously, and finally solved the mystery.
"In the Republic of China, there was a calligrapher who belonged to the hermitage, and no one knew his real name, but he was famous for copying ancient calligraphy. All kinds of celebrity fonts, he imitated more than ninety percent similarity. ”
Zhao Tianming couldn't help but interject: "It won't be a fraud expert, right?"
Qi Lao looked at Zhao Tianming in surprise: "You know?"
Zhao Tianming spread his hands: "Guess nonsense!"
"You're guessing too accurately. ”
Hearing the conversation between the two, Lu Yating was very surprised.
That person is a person who specializes in counterfeiting ancient calligraphy, and the calligraphy treasures of various celebrities are in his hands, and they have deceived many people. You also know that after all, it is a fake! I dare not publicize it, let alone reveal my name, so as not to cause trouble. ”
And that's it, in the eyes of some people, he has become a hermit, a master who does not seek fame and fortune.
But in fact, he is a clever cultural liar. His works are also in demand on the market now. He is known as the first copyist of the Republic of China.
Fake and mixed up to his level, it can be regarded as no regrets in this life, right?
"Such a powerful person, still want to fake? I don't understand!" Lu Yating said depressedly.
With that kind of ability, you can do something openly! I don't know what that person thinks.
Perhaps, he didn't have this kind of ability in the early stage, so he was naturally sneaky. Later, I copied a lot, and my ability gradually improved, but I couldn't help myself, and I could only go one way to the dark!" Qi Lao said with a smile.
Many people have made a fortune by illegal means, and they all know that they cannot continue to develop like that, but how many people can really be cleared of their name?
"This book was given to me by a friend of mine. How did you get this book?" Qi Lao asked.
Lu Yating told Qi Lao that she found it in a used bookstore. At that time, I was just looking for some old publications, but the library didn't have them. But she heard from an old teacher that she had seen it in that used bookstore.
So, I went to try my luck, and instead of finding the old publication, I found this ancient book. She liked calligraphy and bought it immediately.
"Good luck! This book, there is no problem in selling it for 200,000 yuan. Qi Lao said.
He also handed over his own book: "Seeing that you are a person who really loves calligraphy, I will give you this book too, keep it well." ”
"How's that going to work? It's too expensive. Lu Yating hurriedly refused.
Qi Lao smiled: "Actually, your book is worth a little bit, and my book is much inferior." Take it! out of the way, it's empty anyway. Moreover, a book is divided into two parts, and in the end it can be put together, which is fate. ”
Zhao Tianming understood Qi Lao's personality, and also persuaded: "Sister Ting, you can accept it!"
"The elder gives, don't dare to resign!, then I'll ......"
Since Zhao Tianming helped persuade him, Lu Yating also accepted it. The old man is right, it is really difficult for a book to be divided into two parts and put together again at the end.
She remembered that there seemed to be some collectibles at home, so it would be good to bring one over and give it to the elderly when the time came.
