Soon, Li Yi, Gu Feng, and Tan Moxuan were full of wine and food, and Ma Weizhong beckoned and called the waiter over. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Young man, you see that we haven't finished drinking this wine yet, can you take the jar away?"

He decided to take a detour first.

"Yes, but for another 500 dollars."

"No problem!"

Ma Weizhong took out the credit card happily, then pointed to the teapot and said:

"I see that this teapot, as well as the porcelain dish and the wine jar are all in one set, why don't you just sell it to me!"

The waiter really has never met such a guest, and even the tableware has to be bought together, are their things so good? He glanced at Ma Weizhong suspiciously, and hesitated:

"That's right...... Wait for me to ask the boss. ”

After a while, the waiter led a middle-aged man over,

"This is our Boss Wang, you tell him."

Boss Wang smiled and arched his fist, and didn't ask Ma Weizhong, and said directly:

"Several, that's the case, the tableware and tea sets of the store have always only used blue and white porcelain. Unfortunately, there was a small accident in the kitchen last night, and several teapots were broken in a row, and it turned out that there were not enough for today. So, the other cutlery is fine, it's just this teapot ......"

Boss Wang smiled and shook his head, no!

"Hey, how can you do that? That's what I'm looking at, you see, four big plates, four small plates, plus a teapot, a wine jar, ......."

When Ma Weizhong heard this, he was a little anxious, in order to ponder this teapot, he didn't eat two mouthfuls of food, and he didn't drink two cups of wine, is it easy for him? As a result, you deducted it with a word!

"Sir, originally, it's okay to give you a teapot, but isn't it really useless? The tableware in our store is custom-made, and it will take two days for the manufacturer to ship it, don't you make it difficult for me? ”

"Made-to-order?"

Ma Weizhong pointed to the teapot in the partition next to him and said:

"Look, the teapots you ordered are all of that pattern, this is originally a full number, you sold it to me, and then go back and buy a random top for two days? I just don't have time, so I'll go to the market with one when I have time! ”

The boss hesitated for a moment and said with a wry smile:

"Let's be honest, this teapot is what my old man usually uses to drink tea, so ah, I have to ask his old man if I can sell it."

"Oh, why didn't you say it earlier if you couldn't be the master! Go, go, go! ”

"Aren't I afraid that some guests will be tired of saying it?"

Boss Wang grunted back to the counter, picked up the phone and started dialing. Li Yi glanced at Ma Weizhong with a smile and said:

"I don't think you can take this teapot with you today......"

"Why?"

"Their old man probably understands this thing, and he should have a lot of porcelain in his hand."

"Understood? How can you use antiques as tea sets? ”

"Didn't you say that? There are a lot of ancient porcelain in people's hands! Besides, 10,000 yuan is really nothing, and I've seen people drink tea with purple clay pots worth millions! ”

A few people were muttering, and Boss Wang came over again, he first glanced at Ma Weizhong with an unkind face, and then said firmly:

"It's okay to ask for a teapot, 20,000!"

The guests at the next table had already noticed the abnormality here, and when they heard that a broken teapot used to make tea in a restaurant dared to ask for 20,000 yuan, they couldn't help but start to discuss, and Ma Weizhong's face also turned eggplant purple.

"Forget it, let's go, since people don't want to sell, why force it?"

Li Yi stood up and pulled Ma Weizhong. Speaking of which, he is also responsible, since this porcelain pot is not worth anything, and he doesn't want it, he shouldn't have more mouths, and as a result, the old horse can't get up or down, maybe he will be ridiculed.

Seeing the sneer on the boss's face, Ma Weizhong took a deep breath and walked quickly towards the outside of the store without saying a word, Li Yi and Tan Moxuan hurriedly followed, but they didn't expect the boss to sneer and say loudly:

"I picked up the cheap and actually picked it up in Lao Tzu's store, and I didn't pee and look in the mirror......"

"Huh?"

Li Yi stopped abruptly, turned around and stared coldly at the boss for a while, shook his head, and said:

"Give money!"

Without saying a word, Gu Feng took out 20,000 yuan in cash from his backpack and threw it on the table, while Li Yi went up and picked up the teapot and held it high in front of his eyes, but he didn't even look at it.

"Oops, I'm sorry, my hand slipped!"

Before the words fell, the teapot fell to the ground, and with a "bang", the broken porcelain and the remaining half pot of tea splashed everywhere, and for a while, the guests at several tables nearby were in chaos.

"Hey, why are you ......?"

"Shut up Lao Tzu! Unconvinced, follow me to the alley to fight alone! ”

Li Yi glanced around viciously, but he heard that none of these people said good things just now, who dared to blow up his hair at this time, he really dared to beat him.

The people in the room were all stunned, and only then did someone shout out as they watched Li Yi leave,

"Call the police, call the police quickly, it's just too bullying!"

"Lao Gao, I think it's better to forget it, what did you say when you called the police? Say someone threw a teapot and got your pants wet? ”

"Hey, don't even talk, let the boss clean up our illiteracy, why dare you ask for 20,000 yuan for just such a teapot? If it's really worth 20,000 yuan, then let's drink this tea......"

"That's it, a teapot is worth 20,000, and this pot of tea is only 128, boss, benevolence!"

Before this person's voice fell, he fell in love with a guy who leaned into the boss's ear with a bitter face, whispered a few words, and then heard the boss yell,

"nnd, hurry up and chase them back for me, I ran away without paying for thousands of meals......"

On the street, Ma Weizhong put his arm around Li Yi's shoulders and said with a smile:

"Brother is really righteous enough! Let's go, take the money with me, and I'll take care of the three of you for the next few days, and eat a big meal! ”

Li Yi smiled bitterly and dragged him down,

"It's okay to have a big meal, forget about 20,000 yuan, I don't lack that money......"

As he was talking, Ma Weizhong suddenly took out his wallet and asked:

"Which of you paid for the meal?"

A few people, you look at me, I look at you, and they all shook their heads.

"Hahahaha, more than 4,000 overlord meals, enough for his kid to feel distressed for a while, go, hurry up and help the old man finish the painting, let's go to the Confucius Temple antique market to go around, I don't believe it, I can't pick up a real leak!"

A few people took a car around the city for a while, and soon arrived at a community, Ma Wei found the building number, and after pressing the intercom, several people came to a renovated antique flat floor.

The old man who received them looked a little old-fashioned, and after beckoning a few people to sit down, he took out a scroll tremblingly, and said with a wry smile:

"I haven't had a good rest for this painting. There are those who tell the truth, and there are those who tell the truth......"

Ma Weizhong hurriedly comforted,

"Old Huang, don't worry, I invited a master for you this time, Teacher Zhong Haoqing, you know? This is her proudest disciple......"

Li Yi hurriedly stood up and said a few words modestly, and then began to look at the work under the old man's suspicious gaze.

This is a large-scale ink landscape, looking at the composition and painting style, it is indeed very similar to the dense, moist and deep feeling that Gong Xian gave people when painting the Jiangnan landscape, and as far as the ink is concerned, the use of ink accumulation techniques is quite skillful and distinctive, so the whole painting has a deep and quiet style.

"I think it should be true, this kind of use of brush and ink, this kind of artistic conception, is not something that ordinary people can draw at all......"

Before Li Yi could draw a conclusion, Ma Weizhong muttered quietly, and Tan Moxuan also nodded, indeed, this painting gives people a different feeling when they look at it.

Seeing that both of them had come to a conclusion, Li Yi shook his head slightly, the painting is indeed a good painting, and it can even be said to be amazing enough, but it may not necessarily be Gong Xian's handwriting.

"Any questions?"

Although Old Man Huang didn't trust Li Yi very much, he still stared at his every move, and couldn't help but get nervous when he saw him shaking his head.

"It's fine. Huang Lao, this painting should not be Gong Xian's real work, but its author is no worse than Gong Xian, and his works are more valuable...... Old man, you bought this painting for $4.86 million, right? You're making a lot of money now! ”

"Huh?"

Not to mention that the old man was dumbfounded, even Tan Moxuan and Ma Weizhong were dumbfounded.

Huang Lao was stunned for a long time before he said cautiously:

"Young man, you didn't collude with ponies to comfort me, did you? Will a fake be worth more than the real thing? How can it be? ”

"How could it not be? Daqian Jushi's imitation of Shi Tao is worth more than Shi Tao's own painting, I tell you, your painting is Fu Baoshi's imitation of Gong Xian, according to the current market price, such a large size, at least worth more than 10 million US dollars, you have made a fortune! ”

"Huh? Fu bouldering? You can't bluff me, Fu Baoshi is not this style at all! ”

"That's right, Fu Baoshi is indeed not in this style, but this painting, he imitates! You look here, and here, the treatment of these mountain rocks is the trace of Fu bouldering. ”

Li Yi found a few places with faint traces of bouldering and told a few people one by one. However, this is originally a matter of opinion, this painting has not only been appraised by the auction house, and then Huang Lao invited so many people to help, no one dared to say that it was Fu Baoshi's work, and he didn't even mention Fu Baoshi, how could he make the old man believe it?

After entangled for a while, Li Yi sighed and said:

"Old man, don't you suspect that this painting is not real? Otherwise, if I give $5 million and you transfer it to me, won't the problem be solved? ”

Hearing him say this, Huang Lao hesitated. The reason why he bought this painting was because he was attracted by the content of this painting, but although he liked this painting very much, as long as he thought that this painting might not be genuine, he was saddened, after all, he really couldn't see nearly $5 million as if he were nothing.

Originally, he decided a few days ago that if someone wanted this work, he would definitely change hands, and even if it was a little loss, he would admit it. But when it really came to an end, he found that this decision was really not very easy to make, especially since this young man also explained that this was an imitation of Fu Baoshi, and its value was more than double the price he paid when he bought it.

"Young man, since you said that this painting may be an imitation of Fu Baoshi, then...... If there is an imitation, there must be an original, can you tell me why I have never heard of the original? Also, Fu Baoshi is a contemporary person, and his works are generally recorded, why is there no news of this painting? ”

"Hehe, old man, who said that if there is an imitation, there must be an original? Zhang Daqian's imitation of Shi Tao's paintings, many of which do not have originals, but Daqian Jushi can paint that kind of taste, and I guess this painting is also the case. ”

Huang Lao shook his head, he didn't believe that this painting would be Fu Baoshi's work at all, but more than one person had already told him that this was not Gong Xian's real work, although the level of this work was indeed very high, but if the author was not sure, its value would definitely be greatly affected.

So, should he let the painting go?

Alas, if only this lad could have a little more......

Realizing that he actually had this kind of thought, Huang Lao was shocked, this has already been said to be moved! No, no matter what, you have to look at Fu Baoshi's information before you can make a conclusion!

Besides, those people didn't see that this was Fu Baoshi's imitation before, because no one thought in that direction at all. Now, some people have clearly pointed it out, can't they see it?

After thinking about these clearly, Huang Lao was ready to reject Li Yi's proposal, otherwise this was really like what he said, it was a work of Fu Baoshi, and he would lose a lot of money.

However, when the words came to his lips, he suddenly hesitated again, if everyone read it and said that this was not actually Fu Baoshi's work, then what should he do?

The old man began to settle the account, first of all, assuming that this painting is really Gong Xian's real work, then, he spent 4.86 million, Li Yi offered 5 million, and the value increased by 140,000 US dollars in two months, which is not a lot, the only regret is that he missed a beloved work.

Secondly, it would be bad to assume that the painting is not Gong Xian's original work, nor is it an imitation of Fu Baoshi. A better ending is to put it for a few years and then shoot it out in a daze, and if you are unlucky, you will be held to death in your hands.

Third, assuming that this is Fu Baoshi's authentic handiwork, then, if he changes hands at this moment, he will miss out on at least $5 million in profits, 5 million, or dollars......

The old man is entangled, how to choose?

Opening his mouth, he really wanted to ask Li Yi how long his offer was valid for, and could he give him a little time to appraise it again. But Li Yi's offer itself is not a purchase, but to dispel his doubts, if he really does this, it will be a bit too shameless, he really can't afford to lose this person!

However, this one in and one out, but a gap of millions of dollars! (To be continued.) )
