Chapter 41: Fake Paintings as Gifts

It was an antique-looking scroll painting, about two feet long and one foot wide.

The preservation seems to be quite good.

It is a landscape painting.

The payment is Qiu Ying.

Qiu Ying, one of the four great masters of the Ming Dynasty, belongs to one of the most representative painters of the Ming Dynasty.

It's just that the two people holding this painting, the clothes on their bodies, but they don't look like people who can have this kind of picture, they are two men who look like thieves, and their eyes exude a kind of shrewdness.

"Hey, you can see it, this is Qiu Ying's real work, a painting from the Ming Dynasty, how much is it worth now?" one of the men, in a duck-like voice, asked the owner of the antique shop.

The owner of the antique shop was a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties, short and fat, but his eyes looked more shrewd than these two people.

"Fool people into the wrong place, Qiu Ying's authentic handwritings, there are not many in the whole country, you think you can take it out casually, this painting is fake, it is just an imitation made by future generations, and it is not worth a few dollars at all. The boss glanced at his mouth and said angrily.

This boss, who deals with this kind of thing all day long, has an eye that is not ordinary and vicious, and can basically see the authenticity of this painting at a glance.

Although it looks quite similar to Qiu Ying's brushwork on the surface, it can still be seen at a glance that this painting is fake, and the style is generally the same, but in some details, the handling is quite bad.

The most important thing is that the paper used in this painting is obviously the kind of rice paper used in modern times, and just from this, you can see that this painting is fake.

"It's fake. Xiao Yang next to him couldn't help but shake his head.

Even people like Xiao Yang, who are not very knowledgeable, can see that this painting is fake.

"Qiu Ying's paintings are priceless. In the past, the West Garden Yaji was auctioned out in foreign auction houses with a value of more than nine billion US dollars. Xiao Yang was full of opinions.

One painting, nine hundred million ...... It's a day.

"It is precisely because Qiu Ying's paintings are too valuable, so there are countless painters who copy Qiu Ying on the market, and some people who do antique business also hire painters to copy Qiu Ying's paintings, and then deliberately make them old, so as to confuse the real one, but this painting is really too fake. Xiao Yang said.

may want to show what he knows in front of Gao Dongyang and shake his head.

As for Yang Chen, he had always squinted slightly, staring at the painting with a pair of eyes, and the corners of his mouth even curled up slightly.

"Xiao Chen, you are also interested in this painting, and you also know about antiques?" Gao Dongyang noticed Yang Chen's face.

Yang Chen nodded slightly: "Understand a little." ”

"Oh, is it?" Gao Dongyang became interested, but he didn't expect Yang Chen to dabble in things like antiques, calligraphy and paintings.

In the face of Yang Chen, he became more and more arrogant.

Xuanmen secret arts, medical skills, martial arts, and now even antiques are understood, how does this person know so much knowledge?

In fact, how could Yang Chen understand antique calligraphy and painting, and he didn't know anything about what kind of brushwork, style, and the like, but Yang Chen's eyes were able to see the true essence through the surface.

"Interesting, what do you think of this painting?" asked Gao Dongyang.

"This painting is genuine. Yang Chen said quietly.

Burst!

Xiao Yang next to him almost laughed, and looked at Yang Chen with some mockery: "Yang Chen, don't pretend to understand if you don't understand, although last time, you can see that Tang Sancai given to me by Qu Jinhong is fake, but this is a calligraphy and painting, which is completely different from pottery and porcelain, this painting, no matter where you look at it, is fake." ”

"Do you really think you know everything?"

Yang Chen just smiled and didn't defend anything.

But Gao Dongyang was convinced of Yang Chen: "Since you think this is true, do you want to buy it?"

"Don't do it for the time being, it's these two people who are trading with this shopkeeper right now, if we go out now, it's a bad deal. Yang Chen shook his head and said.

Every line has its own rules, and if you break the rules, you will be unlucky.

At this moment, the owner of the antique shop was still arguing with the two of them.

"A hundred dollars, a maximum of a hundred dollars. "The owner of the antique shop directly gave a super low price.

The two men were clearly unwilling.

"Boss, you're too dark, aren't you, this is something we worked so hard to dig out of an ancient tomb, it's definitely genuine, you only give a hundred, it's too little, right?" said one of them with a frown.

"I'm too much for a hundred, do you know what this painting is called?"

The owner of the antique shop said angrily: "This painting is called the Spring Dawn Picture of the Han Palace." ”

"Fuck, the real thing is still hidden in the Forbidden City, you two ran into the Forbidden City and dug it up?" the antique shop owner glanced at his mouth, his face full of mockery.

The two people's faces suddenly turned embarrassed, and their faces were flushed.

They really didn't have the ability to get the painting out of the Forbidden City.

"The real picture of the Han Palace Chunxiao, but thirty centimeters high, nearly six meters long, that is the first lady in ancient China, priceless, the Forbidden City has been hidden like a treasure, how big is your painting, only copied not even one-sixth, so I said that the two of you, even if you want to fake, also make it a little bit like it, and it will be embarrassing to get this kind of thing out. ”

"It's just to look at your painting, the brushwork is good, and the style of copying is quite similar, maybe people who can't afford the real thing can still see it, buy an imitation and go back to hang it, I just bought it, it's just a hundred yuan, if you don't want to sell it, just get out." The shopkeeper said directly.

Cut, it's not interesting.

There was a circle of people around, and all of them had a little bored on their faces.

I thought I could really meet some treasure, but I didn't expect it to be a garbage.

Those two people didn't expect that the things they had worked so hard to get would be so worthless, and the ghost knew that such a fake painting was actually placed in that tomb.

Seeing that the shopkeeper was reluctant to give a higher price, although a hundred yuan was really too low, it was useless to hold it in his hand, selling it for a hundred yuan, so he could buy a pack of cigarettes when he went back, and the two of them could only accept the price of the shopkeeper and get out of the house with the money.

Just after the two people left, Yang Chen separated the crowd and walked in.

"Boss, how much is this painting, I bought it. Yang Chen said.

"Hey, Yang Chen, you're crazy, this person just said that this painting is fake. Xiao Yang hurriedly followed from behind, pulled Yang Chen's sleeve and said.

Although the painting should not be expensive, there is no need to waste money on fakes.

Yang Chen smiled: "Dad, the last time you had your birthday, I couldn't prepare a gift for you, and it just so happened that this painting was bought for you as a gift." ”

There was a burst of laughter all around.

Buying a fake painting as a gift?

Xiao Yang's face was also dark: "I don't want this kind of fake." ”

Yang Chen was noncommittal.

The shopkeeper, a pair of shrewd eyes fell on Yang Chen: "This gentleman, I am interested in this painting, let me tell you, this is Qiu Ying's genuine product, I received it with great difficulty, and I like it myself, if you are interested, I will reluctantly cut my love and sell it to you." ”

Burst!

Your sister.

Yang Chen looked at the shopkeeper a little speechlessly, too shameless, right?

Who just said this thing was fake?

"Boss, I was listening to it just now, don't you fool people like this?" Yang Chen said with a wink.

The owner of this shop was super thick-skinned, and he was not angry when he was exposed by Yang Chen, but he just smiled: "Although it is fake, the brushwork of this painting is still quite good, it is enough to be fake, and among the imitations, it can be regarded as a first-class product." ”

"Don't be so long-winded, how much?" Yang Chen asked.

The shopkeeper stretched out a slap: "Five thousand." ”

"It's too dark, just a hundred yuan was collected, and it immediately doubled fifty times? Don't you think it's too much?" Yang Chen asked, "That's it, five hundred, how about it?"

Good guy, I met a ruthless man.

Directly bargain to the point of one-tenth?

"No, no, five hundred is too little, at least three thousand. The shopkeeper shook his head and said.

"One thousand, what you just bought, you made nine times as much as you changed hands, this profit is high enough, not to mention that everyone knows that this painting is fake, and they all know how much money you spent to buy it, do you think you can sell it, no one will want it except me." ”

The shopkeeper thought about it, and it seemed that this was really the case.

"A thousand dollars, deal. ”

Swiping the card, this painting has become Yang Chen's.

Yang Chen turned around and sent the painting to Xiao Yang: "Father-in-law, this is my birthday gift for you." ”

Xiao Yang had a dark face: "I don't want it." ”

"If this gentleman doesn't want it, why don't you sell it to me......" At this moment, a clear voice suddenly came from the door, and then, I saw a tall and rich man, with a noble body and a square face, walking in from the outside, with a pair of eyes, staring at the painting in Yang Chen's hand, obviously quite interested in this painting.

"You bought it for 1,000 yuan, and I sold it to me for 10,000 yuan, how about it?" said the man with a smile.

These people are obviously rules-oriented, and they will never interfere when others are trading!

It's just a few words, but the shopkeeper and Xiao Yang are all stunned.

Good guys, what's going on today, it's just a fake painting, why are so many people interested, and they're crazy?
