Chapter 1117 "Qingming Riverside Map"!?
Speaker Brown and other members of the House of Representatives all carried laptops, which contained almost all the cultural relics and ancient books of China, so as to use them as a criterion for judging.
Hearing Su Huai's painting, Brown and the others immediately asked the secretary next to them to search for a little and got a lot of examples.
After a few assistants checked it, they whispered a few words to Speaker Brown, and Speaker Brown took a deep breath, looked at the Duke of Mountbatten and said:
"Just now we have consulted the ancient cultural relics unearthed in the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, and in ancient China, they did use 'Yuanlai', and the Chinese classics after the Ming Dynasty had the usage of 'original'......"
Everyone in the Sotheby's Group turned pale in an instant, and everyone felt a "buzz" in their heads, feeling as if the sky was about to fall.
Their group, for so many years of studying the world's cultural relics and ancient books, has always been the highest authority in the industry, everyone is full of confidence in this stone tablet, but planted a small Chinese character!
This is the most certain cultural relic that they have selected under Su Huai's questioning, but Su Huai has proved that this cultural relic is actually a fake! The reputation of their Sotheby's Group for decades will be ruined in one fell swoop......
Looking at the mocking and smiling faces of the Chinese audience in the audience, as well as those rampant insults,
It was only at this moment that Fermat and Old Malone realized what it meant to be "ruined".
At this time, Duke Mountbatten's whole mind was buzzing, but he was not knocked down by this sudden change, so he only saw him turn around and make a gesture to the bodyguard behind him, the bodyguard who was about 2 meters tall, and then opened the handcuffs of the metal box locked on his wrist.
Mountbatten put the box on the ground, asked Old Marlon and Fermat to each hand over a key, and then opened it with two keys and a fingerprint lock, took out a scroll from it, put it on the table and opened it slowly, and then turned back and said:
"Mr. Su, since you said that our Sotheby's Chinese cultural relics are all forged by your ancestors, why don't you take a look at this painting......
Originally, Huaxia had already won a big victory, and there was no need to continue, but Director Ouyang and Lin Feng couldn't help but be surprised when they saw Mountbatten slowly unfolding this picture scroll at this time.
After the catastrophe, only some gold, stone and jade can be left, and there are no paintings and calligraphy at all, how can it be preserved in such a 2-meter-long painting.
Director Ouyang was surprised: "How did this survive?"
Duke Mountbatten said: "With the information of our group, this painting was found in a stone Buddha statue, I don't know who and what method was used to seal the painting in the stone Buddha statue, and it has gone through a hundred years without any damage. ”
This painting was originally the most precious of all the Chinese cultural relics owned by Sotheby's, and it was not intended to be sold at all, but like the most precious cultural relics of Sotheby's Group, the Duke of Mountbatten would hire several bodyguards every time he went out, and with the highest level of security, he would transport them with him, and it would never be stolen by someone.
If he hadn't been forced to this role by Su Huai today, he would never have come out with such a priceless treasure.
Su Huai just glanced at it, and said unexpectedly: "This is the "Qingming Riverside Picture"?" He is too familiar with the content of this painting, not to mention that there are five signatures of Song Huizong Zhao Ji in front of the volume.
And the stamped ...... It's the legendary Double Dragon Seal!? This section has been lost in the original time and space.
Duke Mountbatten nodded and said: "Mr. Su is really a pedantic genius, he even knows this painting, I will not tell you, I have seen countless treasures and antique cultural relics in the group, but none of them are so precious, carefully protected for many years, never made public, today is the first time to appear, let the world see the style of the ancient city of China thousands of years ago." ”
After the catastrophe, almost all the calligraphy and painting works have been stunted, the only ones are brought into the book by the Chinese relics, some of the North Koreans, most of them are some small works, like such a huge one, everyone present is unheard of, and this is even more rare is that it records the bits and pieces of a Song city, from the costume building, to the bridge structure, at a glance, it can be said that the academic value is immeasurable!
Even Speaker Brown couldn't help but come over and admire it.
With this treasure, although it cannot wash away the stigma of Sotheby's Group, it can at least prove that not all Chinese cultural relics collected by Sotheby's Group are fakes.
This was the Duke of Mountbatten's last resort.
And the best thing is that in the appraisal of works of art, the appraisal of calligraphy and painting is the most difficult, and there is no unified standard for many things, and it completely depends on the so-called experience and expert perspective to determine the opinion of the work.
Even if Su Huai had doubts, it was impossible to conclude that this painting was a fake.
After all, there is only one thing in the world that is at the level of a national treasure.
The audience in front of the TV was also dumbfounded, although most people don't understand cultural relics, but they also know how precious it should be to preserve this more than 2-meter-long picture scroll after the catastrophe!
"Good girl, the gold comb back was sold for 18 million just now, how much can this thing really sell for?"
"The most expensive artifact in the world is Picasso's Boy with a Pipe, which sold for 800 million ...... I think this painting starts at least a billion dollars. ”
"I'm afraid it's not all, this is a picture scroll that has been preserved after the catastrophe, and there are so many ancient details that are of great value for archaeological and cultural research. ”
"2 billion is not too expensive. ”
"Oh my boy, that's scary. ”
"If Sotheby's has a few more cultural relics of this level, it will really lie down and make a fortune......"
At this time, no one noticed that at this time, everyone in Sumen, whether it was Guo Wei, Leng Zhe, Ji Qiaoqiao, or Ren Na, were all looking at each other, their faces full of astonishment, this painting ...... Why are they so familiar?
Duke Mountbatten looked at Su Huai and said, "Mr. Su, what do you think of this painting?"
Su Huai sighed and said two words without hesitation: "Fake." ”
"What!!"
"You!"
"Why do you say that!"
Sotheby's Group's old Marlon, Fermat is about to jump!
Su Huai looked at the Duke of Mountbatten with some sympathy:
"Because, the real one is with me. ”
The angry expressions of Old Marlon, Fermat and the others suddenly froze...... What, Su Huai also has this "Qingming Riverside Map"?
"Mr. Su, you're not kidding, are you?" the Duke of Mountbatten couldn't believe his ears.
"Duke. Su Huai raised the folding fan, pointed to the river next to the surrounding street and asked, "Do you see if these scenes are a little familiar?" ”
Duke Mountbatten turned his head to look at it, frowned slightly, and said, "Before today, I had never been to this stream and lake. How can it be familiar?"
But after speaking, he suddenly reacted, his eyes widened suddenly, he looked down at the "Qingming Riverside Map" on the table, and then looked up at the surrounding scenery, although it was already night, but the square was brightly lit, standing on this stage, he could clearly see the outline of the surrounding scene......
Just see the scenery around here, along the left side of the stone arch bridge, exactly the same as on the "Qingming Riverside Map"!!
Not only the street structure, but also the architectural style and furnishings are almost the same!!
The Duke of Mountbatten's mouth was already open uncontrollably: "This is the ...... in the painting"
"Yes, this "Qingming Riverside Map" is a painting of Bianliang City in the Northern Song Dynasty. Su Huai raised his fan and pointed to the surrounding scenery and said:
"This whole Bianliang City Scenic Area, I imitated it according to the "Qingming Riverside Map", and the Duke of yours is actually only half of the "Qingming Riverside Map", and the real "Qingming Riverside Map" has another half, which should be 5 meters ......long."
Saying that, Su Huai shouted: "Leng Zhe, you bring the schematic diagram of the bulletin board."
Everyone didn't react, so they saw that Leng Zhe had already led someone to take down the "Bianliang Scenic Area Schematic Map" on the bulletin board on the side of the scenic spot, put it on the table, and let the camera shoot.
Everyone in Sotheby's Group watched Leng Zhe spread out the schematic diagram of the scenic spot on the table, and immediately gathered around.
Speaker Brown and the members of the Security Council also couldn't help but come over.
When everyone took a closer look, their eyes were about to fall out! It turned out that the left half of the schematic map of the scenic spot was really exactly the same as the "Qingming Riverside Map" taken out by the Duke of Mountbatten!
Although I haven't seen the original, the content in the painting has proved everything Su Huai said!
They have been painstakingly treasured by Sotheby's for many years, and the Duke of Mountbatten has taken great care of them, and they will invite a few bodyguards to bring priceless treasures with them when they go out...... It's only half of the schematic map of this lake scenic spot!?[.]
