Li Shijiang continued: "Moreover, this painting is so realistic, I can also learn some experience from it, and I can also give me a reminder, you know, our industry of taking medicine is really unguardable, if you take medicine often, your reputation will be ruined." ”

Hearing Li Shijiang's beautiful words, Meng Zitao seemed a little hesitant, he pondered for a moment, and said: "Mr. Li, to be honest, I originally wanted to study this painting thoroughly before I considered making a move. Moreover, although this painting is an imitation, it can also be diǎn, and the author is likely to be a famous artist. ”

"So, if I don't verify the real author, I will really suffer a loss!"

Li Shijiang shook his head: "Shopkeeper Meng, it's not that I want to hit you, there are no clues left on this painting, it's not easy to verify the author!"

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "I'm a relatively idle person, and being idle is also idle, and the author of the research just let me have something to do." ”

"I'm going, don't you just want to ask for more money, saying that you're fat and really panting. Okay, don't you want the lion to open his mouth, I'll stone you to death with money, anyway, as soon as I change hands, at least I can make millions, and if I'm lucky, I can make tens of millions. ”

Li Shijiang sneered secretly, and said: "Oh, shopkeeper Meng, I really like this painting too much, if I miss it like this today, I will regret it for the rest of my life, otherwise, I'll give you a million, do you think it's okay?"

Meng Zitao scratched his head and said: "Actually, I don't have high requirements, it's just that I just got this painting, but I just took a cursory look at it, and I haven't studied it in detail, so it's really a little reluctant to give up like this." Moreover, if the author's name is also thunderous, then I will ......"

"Made, I've paid a million, and I don't ask for much, looking at you five or six, you're actually a hypocrite!"

Li Shijiang secretly cursed Meng Zitao in his stomach, but it was obviously impossible to make him give up. In fact, he still has a way, give Meng Zitao a deposit first, and then get it after a while, but he is worried that if Meng Zitao investigates the fake and turns it out to be true, then there will be nothing to do with him.

"That's what Shopkeeper Meng said, otherwise, I'll add another 500,000, do you think it's okay?"

"Mr. Li, your sincerity is nothing to say, only ♂dǐng♂diǎn♂ small ♂ talk, .≠.o⊕s_(); However, I am now more and more interested in this painting, and I am really reluctant to give up!"

As he spoke, Meng Zitao stretched out three fingers and shook them within Li Shijiang's sight.

Li Shijiang noticed the hint given by Meng Zitao, and squirted out a mouthful of old blood, Made, since you said that it was an imitation, and you offered a price like three million, it really seems that Lao Tzu is a mallet!

Spending three million to buy this painting, to be honest, Li Shijiang must be a hundred unhappy, and more importantly, the money in his hands is a little stretched, he is also in the antique business, so he has to leave diǎn liquidity.

Of course, if he buys a genuine work for three million, he must have made a lot of money, and he has also picked up a big leak, but he must be unwilling to spend so much money.

After thinking about it, Li Shijiang decided to ask his friend for a plan, covered his stomach with his hand and said: "Ouch, why is my stomach suddenly a little uncomfortable, everyone, I'll go to the bathroom first, Shopkeeper Meng, don't go!"

"Don't worry, I won't leave. ”

Meng Zitao felt that Li Shijiang was very funny, since you Li Shijiang wanted to enter the pit, then how could I push you out?

In fact, everyone can see Li Shijiang's thoughts, and the shopkeeper Zeng shook his head: "This guy is a lot smarter, and his face is thick enough, and his heart is dark enough. ”

Wang Qianli and the man standing next to him also said yes, and although the other two did not express their position clearly, they did not have the idea of refuting it in their demeanor.

Meng Zitao asked with some curiosity: "Shopkeeper Zeng, what does this Mr. Li do?"

Wang Qianli took over and said, "He also has an antique shop under his name, which is not far to the east. He used to study with Zeng Lao for a while. ”

The shopkeeper Zeng waved his hand: "I can only blame me for not knowing anyone at the time." ”

Meng Zitao became even more curious when he heard this, but the shopkeeper Zeng didn't want to say it, and the people next to him didn't want to mention this matter in front of the parties. Later, Meng Zitao still got the truth from Wang Qianli's mouth.

It turned out that Li Shijiang and the shopkeeper Zeng still had some kinship and old relationships, and Li Shijiang wanted to learn from the shopkeeper Zeng, but the shopkeeper Zeng saw that he was more well-behaved, so he agreed. Unexpectedly, this guy learned some skills and began to lay out of the cage.

The so-called "lower cage" is a term used in the antique business, which generally refers to the act of taking advantage of other people's business to secretly trade privately. It is completely a derogatory term, such as "Yixia out of the cage", "specifically out of the cage". There are many drawbacks to the antique business, and "getting out of the cage" is one of the most important ones, and this behavior is often condemned.

The shopkeeper didn't notice it at first, and it wasn't until Li Shijiang did too much that it reached his ears, which made him very angry, and directly scolded Li Shijiang and swept Li Shijiang out of the house.

However, Li Shijiang immediately opened an antique shop not far away, and he also fought with Shopkeeper Zeng from time to time, but he didn't go too far, just like that, of course, Shopkeeper Zeng couldn't give him a good look.

However, Li Shijiang is very thick-skinned, and he still comes to the shopkeeper from the other mountain, running around the door like a nobody, and sometimes he is like kraft candy, and he doesn't leave when he drives him away. But normally, he would only sit here for a while and then leave.

came and went, and the shopkeeper didn't bother to pay attention to him, just treated him as air, and sometimes scolded Li Shijiang in a bad mood, and his mood was much more comfortable.

Meng Zitao listened to Wang Qianli's introduction, and was a little crying and laughing, what kind of person is this Li Shijiang!

The words were divided into two ends, Li Shijiang went out, he took a deep breath, the whole person suddenly relaxed, his brain was much clearer than just now, at this time he thought of the painting, and also had some doubts, will this painting really be an old imitation, if so, he will lose to his grandmother's house if he buys it.

After thinking about it, Li Shijiang felt that since they all thought it was a forgery, it was better to be cautious, who knows if this kid Meng Zitao was digging a hole for himself? But what if it was genuine?

Li Shijiang was a little hesitant, but he immediately patted his thigh, he had originally come out to ask for a plan, isn't it stupid to be so entangled? So, he immediately dialed out a phone.

"Brother Li, I'm Xiao Li, I just saw a work by Shen Zhou and thought it was genuine, but they all thought it was a high imitation...... Who are they? Oh, there are...... Then I definitely don't want to give up, it's just that the kid's price is too high, and he actually asks for three million!"

"What? barter, but I didn't...... That's right, Brother Li, you react quickly, okay, it's decided, if the matter is done, I'll invite you to dinner when I turn around!"

After hanging up the phone, Li Shijiang laughed a few times, and then went back to the shopkeeper of Zeng.

"Shopkeeper Meng, I'm really sorry to keep you waiting. ”

"It doesn't matter. Meng Zitao smiled: "Mr. Li, I don't know what you plan now?"

Li Shijiang said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Meng, I don't know if you are willing to barter. ”

"Barter?"

"Yes, barter, I happen to have something of similar value, if you think it's good, we can exchange it. Of course, if you don't like it, I'll pay that price, what do you think?"

Meng Zitao pretended to be silent for a moment and said, "Okay, then I'll go and see, it's not far, right?"

Li Shijiang said with a smile: "It's not far, it's not far, it's just a few steps away." ”

The shopkeeper Zeng said with a stern face: "I said Li Shijiang, I warn you, don't do anything!"

Li Shijiang said: "Hey, what you said, I said it so clearly, Shopkeeper Meng can't look down on me and can still force it?"

Meng Zitao smiled and said that it didn't matter, even if he was wrong, it was his own problem.

Next, Li Shijiang took Meng Zitao and them to his shop.

The layout of the shop is not large, and if you look around, you will know that it mainly deals in jade.

Li Shijiang asked Meng Zitao and them to wait for a while, and when they were about to go to get the thing he said, they saw a young man walk in from outside the door, and went straight to the counter, looking like he had a clear goal.

Meng Zitao looked around and found that the young man's target was a sword grid, which was contained in an old brocade box, which was a bright yellow soft gall, and when the light shone, it was extremely beautiful.

The young man asked Li Shijiang to take out the sword grid and take a look, and Meng Zitao noticed that the texture of this sword grid did not look like white jade, and there was a dragon carved on the surface, and there were some earth erosion and color on it, and the characteristics of the Han Dynasty sword grid were obvious.

The young man observed it for a moment and asked, "Excuse me, when was this?"

"Many people say it's from the Han Dynasty, and it's hard for me to say. Li Shijiang replied.

The young man rolled his eyes and asked, "And when did you see it?"

Li Shijiang said flatly: "I think it seems to be imitated." ”

Meng Zitao was a little strange when he heard this, how could Li Shijiang tell the truth, is this considered a desire to capture the past?

The young man asked again, "What do you say?"

Li Shijiang explained: "You see, from the overall shape, it is definitely a typical Han Dynasty feature, and the dragon is also vivid and powerful, but how can there be iron tools in the Han Dynasty, you see that there is rust on it, so I suspect that it should be imitated." ”

When Meng Zitao heard this, he couldn't laugh out loud, you know, the period when iron tools appeared was in the Warring States Period, how could there be no iron tools in the Han Dynasty? Isn't it funny.

However, he immediately reacted to what Li Shijiang's little abacus was.

Sure enough, a hint of joy flashed in the young man's eyes, and he said, "Yes, I look like an imitation, but this sword grid is okay, how much do you sell it?" (To be continued.) )
