Chapter 446 Picture-in-Picture (II)
Hearing the staff's words, Boss Du's face changed greatly, and he was busy explaining: "Wait, I don't want this painting from you." ”
The staff shook their heads: "I'm sorry Mr. Du, this gentleman next to you gave up the bid just now, so according to the rules, if no one else offers a higher price, this painting is yours." ”
"But I ......"
Boss Du still wanted to defend himself, but Wang Xiaochuan pressed his shoulder, and then smiled at the staff: "Then thank you, take everything from the contract, and we will pay." ”
"Ogawa, you ......"
"Xiao Wang, are you stupid, spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy a fake painting?"
Ling Wei and Hou Ping on the side couldn't understand Wang Xiaochuan's thoughts.
However, Wang Xiaochuan smiled and said: "Isn't it 300,000 yuan? Boss Du, if you are really reluctant, I will pay the money." ”
Boss Du replied almost without hesitation: "No, Xiao Wang, I believe in your vision, we will buy this painting." ”
After that, Boss Du took out his bank card and handed it to the staff.
While they were paying, Chu Haoran and the others looked at each other and laughed, laughing at Wang Xiaochuan at this time, still trying to save face.
Wang Xiaochuan ignored them, asked the staff to take out the painting directly, and then asked them to call Master Wu over for identification.
The exhibits in the venue are all purchased by Yang Wen's antique shop, and they have not been seen by Master Wu before, so today is also the first time that Master Wu has appraised the exhibits here.
Yes, after knowing that Wang Xiaochuan and they had chosen another antique, Master Wu also rushed over with great interest, wanting to see what the sharp-eyed Wang Xiaochuan had taken a fancy to this time.
However, when Master Wu saw the scroll taken out by the staff, his face immediately changed.
"Master Wu, this is what Xiao Wang picked for me this time, can you help us see, is this painting real or fake?" Boss Du squeezed out a smile and asked Master Wu.
He still had a little luck in his heart, thinking that maybe Wang Xiaochuan saw the mystery in this painting, so he let himself buy the painting, maybe this painting is actually real?
Although this is very unlikely, it is not impossible after all.
It's just that Master Wu's words shattered his last illusion.
"What are you kidding? Although the painting you bought is a copy of "A Journey in the Mountains and Streams," the painter's brushwork is really poor, and the whole painting has no artistic conception at all. ”
Boss Du was also unhappy after eating, and complained a little about Wang Xiaochuan.
When the people on the side heard this, they laughed and said, "Hehe, this Wang Xiaochuan's level doesn't seem to be like this?"
"Yes, a fake was bought at such a high price, it looks like he was just a blind cat and a dead mouse. ”
Here, Master Wu also threw the scroll directly to Boss Du, and then flicked his sleeves and said: "Okay, the old man has finished appraisal, next time there is something of this level, don't let me come to see it, anyone with a little experience in antiques should be able to see the authenticity of this painting." ”
After that, Master Wu was about to leave, but at this moment, Wang Xiaochuan suddenly grabbed him and said: "Master Wu, don't be in a hurry to leave, this painting is fake, yes, but I bought this painting because of the mystery in this painting, and this mystery, Master Wu, if you look carefully, you should be able to see it." ”
"What is the mystery of a fake painting?" Although Master Wu said this, the person had already come to Boss Du's side, and he couldn't help but say it, so he took the fake painting back into his hand.
Then he looked around, then went straight to a table, spread the scroll completely on the table, and examined it carefully.
"This painting ......"
Just looking at it for a while, Master Wu couldn't help but snort softly.
His eyes were fixed on the scroll, and he said to himself, "It's strange, this painting is so clumsy, why is this painting so well framed?"
Boss Du on the side heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Master Wu, what's wrong?"
"Hmm. Master Wu nodded and said: "The framing technique used in this painting is the handwriting of a framing master in the south, and the master's handiwork is said to be the ability of the ancestors for nine generations, and it was already very famous in the Republic of China." At that time, this kind of craftsmanship was only used to frame famous paintings for dignitaries and nobles, so how could anyone use their craftsmanship to frame such broken paintings? This is simply a waste!"
Once a painting is finished, it needs to be framed, partly to preserve the painting, and partly to facilitate the painting's future display. Usually, the degree of framing of a painting is equivalent to the value of the painting.
But now the strange thing is that this 100% fake has been framed with extremely responsible craftsmanship and high cost, which is not reasonable at all, because it is as if someone bought a Santana for less than 100,000 yuan, and then spent 200,000 yuan to modify this Santana.
With this money, why don't people just go and buy a better car?
Old Man Wu was talking to himself, while putting reading glasses on himself, and then began to stick to the painting, carefully examining its frame, and still muttering to himself.
After ten minutes, Master Wu suddenly raised his head and said to the staff on the side, "Go! Pour me a glass of water!"
The staff hurriedly went to the nearby to pour a glass of water for Master Wu, but just when everyone thought that Master Wu was thirsty, they saw that he actually took off the heavenly pole and the shaft head of the scroll, and then reached out to dip the water in the cup, and after wetting his fingers, he directly touched the corner of the scroll with his wet hands.
"Alas, Master Wu, what are you?" said Boss Du with some distress.
Although this painting is fake, he bought it for 300,000 yuan, and if it is damaged by water, it will be all in vain.
Master Wu glanced at him, his face was a little ugly, and said: "Don't worry, if you can't break it, besides, it's just a broken painting, it's really bad for the old man to accompany you." ”
Master Wu is a celebrity in the antique street, where did Boss Du dare to let him be equipped with a gun, and said with a smiling face: "No, no need to ......"
Halfway through the words, Boss Du was stunned, because he suddenly saw that Master Wu actually rubbed out another piece of paper on the wet picture scroll.
"Huh, what's going on?" said Boss Du.
Master Wu turned his head, looked at Wang Xiaochuan on the side, and said with a faint smile: "What's the matter? You ask this kid, he can see much more clearly than the old man." ”
Boss Du turned his head and looked at Wang Xiaochuan, who said: "Boss Du, actually, this painting is actually a picture-in-picture!"
