Chapter 787: Fakes
Dayun Temple will do seven consecutive days of rituals!
All over the country, including Hong Kong and Taiwan, are practicing Dharma in Dayun Temple, and this kind of opportunity is rare for thousands of years. Not only the bright water, water springs, the Central Plains Province, the neighboring provinces of the Buddhist believers are to Wulongyu, come to worship the Buddha to burn incense and watch the rituals, Wulongyu tourism peak not only will not return, but the climax!
In any case, the Dayun Temple and the Luoyan Guanyin Opening Ceremony have been held, and no matter how many pilgrims there are, there are no more tourists, and the task of the Organizing Committee of the Dayun Temple and Luoyan Guanyin Opening Ceremony has been successfully completed. Therefore, on the morning of April 9, Deputy Secretary Li Lide, who was in charge of the opening ceremony, and Wang Xuewen, deputy director in charge of security, led the staff of the organizing committee office and the security headquarters to evacuate Dayun Temple and leave Wulongyu.
Chen Guan can't leave for the time being, he is gone, to be honest, Wulongyu Tourism Development Co., Ltd. has no backbone. In the words of Li Fulai and Lin Fan, he had to wait at least until he saw off President Zhao Puchu and those virtuous monks.
Tangtai Mingyue left after getting together with Chen Guan, and she walked with the provincial TV interview team.
Not only Deputy Secretary Li Lide and Deputy Director Wang Xuewen are gone, but Mr. Bai Derong and his entourage, who have returned from the United States, are also leaving.
It doesn't matter if the old man Bai Derong and the eldest son Bai Wencai stay for a few more days, Bai Shouyong and the others have to go back to work, they have to go!
Bai Derong is too old, his children and grandchildren are leaving, he must be taken away, and it is impossible to leave the old gentleman in Wulongyu's hometown!
Wang Meng has been accompanying Bai Shouyong and the experts of the American stock exchange, and after Chen Guan was busy, he also went to accompany the American experts to investigate, which is equivalent to Chen Guan and Wang Meng, two elites who have studied in the United States, accompanied the experts of the American stock exchange to inspect Wulongyu Tourism Development Co., Ltd.
This is to go to the U.S. stock exchange to be listed, and the Americans are specialized in playing finance, and the inspection work is very detailed, not only to look at the financial report of Wulongyu Tourism Development Co., Ltd., but also to check the real ticket revenue on the spot, and on this basis, estimate the prospects of Wulongyu Tourism Development Co., Ltd.
When the Bai family was leaving, it was when Chen Guan and Wang Meng accompanied Bai Shouyong and the experts of the American Stock Exchange to end their inspection.
Chen Guan did not ask a few American experts about the results of their inspection of the Wulongyu Tourism Development Co., Ltd. He has now seen very clearly, after the opening ceremony of Dayun Temple and Luoyan Guanyin, the Wulongyu tourist attraction has gone up a big step, which is equivalent to a qualitative change, and there is no need to worry about the problem of no tourists. In this case, it is better to be listed in the United States, and it doesn't matter if you can't!
However, Bai Shouyong is very enthusiastic about recommending Wulongyu Tourism Development Co., Ltd. to be listed on the American stock exchange. He swore to Chen Guan that with the current strength and future development prospects of Wulongyu Tourist Attraction, there would be no problem at all with its listing on the US Stock Exchange!
The experts of the American stock exchange have completed the inspection task, and the Bai family is also leaving, but what Chen Guan did not expect was that Mr. Bai Derong gave him a problem, that is, to ask for the long scroll of Xu Wei's splashed ink freehand hundred birds and phoenixes hanging in the living room of Miss Bai in the fifth courtyard of the Bai family compound.
The original copy of the painting was placed by Chen Guan in the safe of Shuiquan Construction Bank, and now hanging in Miss Bai's living room is Chen Guan's copying work, that is, a fake.
Xu Wei's splashed ink freehand painting of a hundred birds and a phoenix is too precious, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a national treasure. Therefore, as early as when the restoration of the Bai family compound began, Chen Guan had already taken away the original painting, and after copying it himself, he sent the copied painting back to Wulongyu and hung it in the living room of Miss Bai in the Bai family compound.
This matter is very confidential, Li Fulai, Bai Aixiao, and Bai Aiyue all know that Chen Guan has taken this painting for a while, but they don't know that Chen Guan has returned his own copy, and the real thing has been secretly collected by Chen Guan.
Li Fulai, Bai Aixiao, and Bai Aiyue's cultural level didn't know that the painting was Xu Wei's authentic work, and they hadn't even heard of Xu Wei's name, let alone thought that Chen Guan had already implemented a plan for that painting.
When Chen Guan wrote the commentary on the Bai family's compound, he wrote about the furnishings of Miss Bai's bedroom, and deliberately did not indicate the source of this painting, but vaguely said that the landlord of the Bai family paid attention to the education of his children and was willing to work his daughter's cultural upbringing.
It has been so long since the Bai family compound opened to welcome guests, and no tourist has seen that the "goose-nosed Shannong" in that painting is Xu Wei. There's no way, this name is too obscure, unless it's an expert who specializes in Xu Wei, who else can see it!
After the opening ceremony of the last Baopu Zhai, Hu Ming and his family organized calligraphers and painters to travel to Wulongyu to sketch, but these calligraphers and painters were intoxicated by the beautiful scenery as soon as they arrived in Wulongyu, patronizing and sketching, and they were not interested in the main attractions such as the Bai family courtyard and the knife guest village, and few calligraphers and painters went to the Bai family compound to carefully appreciate the painting. It may also be that someone saw that the painting was a fake, felt that it was worthless, and laughed it off; It may also be that Chen Guan has done a lot of work in copying the time, and these painters did not see that it was a fake. Whatever the case may be, the painting never attracted much attention anyway.
When Chen Guan copied the original painting, it took a lot of effort, and the principle of maintaining the original appearance of the original painting was to keep the original picture in his own time, and even the seal on the painting was quietly engraved in his spare time, trying not to be the slightest difference.
Now Bai Derong proposed to hang in the living room of Miss Bai in the Bai family's courtyard that Xu Wei's freehand "Hundred Birds and Phoenix" by splashing ink, could it be that Bai Derong didn't see that it was a fake?
It stands to reason that the painting copied by Chen Guan can make tourists not distinguish between the real and the fake, but it is basically impossible to hide from Bai Derong's eyes. But why didn't Bai Derong see that it was a fake?
Similar to Chen Guan's previous judgment, this Xu Wei's splashed ink freehand "Hundred Birds and Phoenix" scroll was indeed purchased from a private museum when Bai Derong traveled to England, because he was worried about the turmoil of the current situation, it was inconvenient to carry it around, so he took advantage of the time to visit relatives in Wulongyu and left the painting in the Bai family compound, thinking that Wulongyu was remote, and the Bai family compound was so strong and safer. Unexpectedly, as soon as he left, Wulongyu also fell into the flames of war, and it was not until after the reform and opening up that he returned to Wulongyu again, and it was already a matter of fact.
The last time he returned to Wulongyu, Bai Derong did not go to the fifth courtyard of the Bai family compound, which was overgrown with weeds and could not enter the people, and in his mind, after land reform, the Bai family compound was confiscated as a victory achievement, and the painting was probably burned by farmers who don't know which family used it as firewood. His whereabouts have long been unknown.
This time back to the situation is different, the Bai family compound as the main attraction of Wulongyu tourist attraction open to the outside world, Bai Derong went to the Bai family compound, looked at the place where he grew up since he was a child, and found that Xu Wei splashed ink in the white edelweiss living room and wrote the long scroll of "Hundred Birds and Phoenix", and was delighted, without distinguishing the authenticity, and actually put forward the idea of taking this painting away.
Bai Derong is indeed old, and his eyes are not good, so he can't even tell that the painting is a copy of Chen Guan!
There is a craft in the antique calligraphy and painting industry, called "old", which is to think about making modern things into antiquities.
Chen Guan was originally a college student born in Shanliwa, where can he know the "old" craft of antique calligraphy and painting. It's all to blame for the Cangsheng seal, while it is easy to wash the marrow, it instills a lot of information in him, and a lot of knowledge is stored in his mind, and he can take it out and use it when he needs it. Just like he wrote the plum blossom seal with both hands, it was all using the knowledge store provided by the Cangsheng Seal!
Chen Guan did not figure out guò's "old-fashioned" temptation and deception of people's money, but to protect Xu Wei's true works. Unexpectedly, his "old-aged" technique was good, and he actually made the original owner of the painting, Mr. Bai Derong, unable to distinguish the authenticity!
It stands to reason that this painting was originally stored in the living room of Miss Bai, and it should be part of the fruits of victory during the land reform, and Bai Derong has no right to ask for it. The problem is that Bai Derong is different from Bai Deli, Bai Deli is a suppressed bully landlord, but Bai Derong is a scholar who traveled to Europe and the United States, and his property is put in the period of land reform, which must also be protected. As long as it is proved that this painting really belongs to Mr. Bai Derong, then I am afraid that it will be returned to its original owner!
The original painting is definitely a national treasure, and Chen Guan is unwilling to give it to Bai Derong to take to the United States. However, Chen Guan is a contemporary college student who has studied in the United States, and knows that he has no reason or reason not to give the original painting to Bai Derong, at most, he wants to mobilize Mr. Bai Derong to sell the original painting to the Tourism Development Co., Ltd. and put it on display in the Bai family compound, or he wants to mobilize Bai Derong to donate the original painting to the country. There is no other way!
This problem was already considered when Chen Guan met Bai Derong in the United States, but he didn't find a suitable way to deal with it!
Now Bai Derong proposed to return the long scroll of Xu Wei's freehand "Hundred Birds and Phoenix" hanging in Miss Bai's living room, and for a while, Chen Guan didn't know how to answer!
Bai Derong was looking at Chen Guan, Bai Wencai and other descendants of the Bai family were looking at Chen Guan, and Liu Shouyong, Secretary of the Party Committee of Longwan Town, Xu Ke, the mayor of the town, Li Fulai, Lin Fan, etc., who came to visit Mr. Bai Derong, were all looking at Chen Guan to see what he said.
Bai Derong is old and well-informed, and he wants this painting to know how to pay attention to skills, and he does not say that this painting is the authentic work of the great painter Xu Wei of the Ming Dynasty, but that this painting was given by a friend of his young age, and he stayed in his niece Edelweiss's living room, that is, to decorate the living room for his niece. Now that he is old, when he sees this painting again, he remembers his niece's voice and smile, sees things and thinks about people, and wants to bring it back to the United States as a souvenir.
This statement is very reasonable, Liu Shouyong, Tsui Hark, and Li Fulai all feel that this wish of Mr. Bai should be satisfied. But none of them dared to make the decision, and let Bai Derong take the painting away.
Liu Shouyong, Tsui Hark, Li Fulai, and Lin Fan still have a lot of thoughts, that is, they are afraid that this painting is not as simple as Mr. Bai Derong said, and maybe it is very valuable. Otherwise, why didn't the old gentleman want anything else but this painting?
When I thought of this, I knew that the painting was a precious ancient painting, and Liu Shouyong, Tsui Hark, Li Fulai, and Lin Fan were unwilling to let Bai Derong take the painting away. Because the painting has been hanging in the living room of Miss Bai in the fifth courtyard of the Bai family's compound, it stands to reason that it has long been confiscated during the land reform. It's just that because Chen Deda didn't allow others to touch the things in the house where Edelweiss lived, it was preserved. Besides, how many years has Miss Bai sacrificed, who can prove that this painting is Bai Derong's!
Chen Guan is absolutely unambiguous in terms of right and wrong, and is an absolute frank and unrestrained gentleman. No, he opened his mouth and said, "Grandpa, when I saw that painting, I thought that it was your old man's collection, and I also thought that my grandmother Edelweiss herself may not know whose painting it is and how valuable it is." Now, since your old man wants to take back the old things, it is reasonable and reasonable. Nothing to say, I agree with you to take the painting with you. Just ......"
Without waiting for Chen Guan to finish saying "just", Bai Wencai, the boss of the Bai family, said: "Xiao Chen Guan is worthy of being a college student who went out of Wulong Mountain, and he is reasonable and reasonable. Since you agreed, then we took the painting back for my father. The old man is old, and this painting is also an object that he has always cared about. We took the painting away for safekeeping, which was also a fulfillment of one of his old man's wishes. ”
Chen Guan originally wanted to say that the painting hanging in the Bai family's compound was copied by him, not genuine. But as soon as he heard that Bai Wencai couldn't wait to take the painting away, he had a sudden attack in his mind, and he forcibly took back what he wanted to say and said it again. He suddenly thought that none of Bai Derong's children studied art, and no one studied ancient Chinese culture, so this painting was handed over to them, and when Mr. Bai Derong made it ancient, this painting might always be kept secret by the Bai family, and it would not have the effect of allowing future generations to learn and observe. This is still good, maybe one day the descendants of the Bai family will hand over this painting to the auction house for auction, so that the national treasure will be lost overseas. Because the children of the Bai family learn a lot of finance, they pay attention to the ratio of investment returns, pay attention to the liquidity rate of funds, and the most taboo is to turn living money into dead money. This painting is obviously a fortune, and an auction is also a good option.
As soon as Chen Guan thought of this, he would never say that the painting that Bai Derong asked for was copied by him, but promised with all his mouth, and directly asked Li Fulai and Lin Fan to take Bai Wencai to pick up the painting, and hand over his copy to the Bai family to take away.
