Chapter 70: Debt of Affection
After Li Tianbao finished speaking, he thought, "Damn, it's good for Lao Tzu to remember his surname, and fortunately, 'Du Niang' is strong enough, otherwise there are so many things, not to mention rote memorization, even if you can't find it."
After listening to Li Tianbao's words, Li Longxing couldn't help but say in his heart: "Good guy, there are really two brushes, and the research on Shen Zhou's things is clear enough, I am trying to see if you know the market price of Shen Zhou's things." ”
"The old man is really an expert, even I don't know that much, so what do you know about the price of Shen Zhou's paintings?"
As soon as Li Tianbao heard this, he knew that Li Longxing was testing the price of his paintings about Shen Zhou, so that he could use this as a standard when negotiating prices.
In 2010, Shen Zhou's "Pine Window Coats" vertical scroll launched by the Beijing Jingjiu Ge Auction Company was sold for 152.3 billion yuan, becoming one of the top ten most expensive artworks of the year. Therefore, it is conceivable that Shen Zhou's fine paintings are antiques at the level of 'standard king' at auction. ”
Li Tianbao's words made Li Longxing lose his words again, and the only thing that can be argued is the difference between the auction market and the antique street market.
"Old man, you also know that this auction company is different from our small traders, and it will also charge a high bidding fee, so I tell you whether this price is suitable or not, and if it is suitable, I will accept this painting."
After Li Longxing finished speaking, he first raised his head and thought about it, and then stretched out a finger and said, "What do you think of this number?" ”
Li Tianbao understood that Li Longxing meant one million, but he still deliberately asked, "Ten million?" ”
"Old man, are you kidding me, let's not talk about the auction price of the auction company, even if your painting is Shen Zhou's fine painting, but there is still a gap between it and the picture of "Pine Window Coats" you just said, so I'll give you some more to see it, three million."
"Three million, you kid is kidding me." Li Tianbao deliberately accentuated his tone and said: "There is no need to talk about the six million less, and I want cash, checks, transfers, etc. Saying that, Li Tianbao made a posture of leaving.
"You are really an ancestor, six million you are going to the 'knife edge', so be it."
Although Li Longxing felt that the price was quite acceptable, he still put on a look of embarrassment and said, "You allow me to think about it." ”
After pretending for a while, Li Longxing said loudly to the clerk: "Give the old man to the bank in advance." ”
Li Tianbao showed a hint of joy, and thought, "Li B Longxing, your old boy can be regarded as falling into my hands now, this is still the first step, and the next show has just begun." ”
……
Carrying six million in cash, Li Tianbao was afraid of being seen as flawed, so he did not return to "Fengyuan Hall" directly, but returned to "Li Mansion" first, and after removing his makeup, Li Tianbao also took a shower, and after changing his clothes, Li Tianbao wiped his hair and walked out.
Wang Xiaoyu, who was waiting on the side, hurriedly asked, "Brother Bao, how are things going?" ”
Li Tianbao didn't speak, but pointed to the big bag next to him and said, "Six million cash is a lot." ”
"Oh my God, Brother Bao, you've made a lot of money again."
"I can't keep this money, and I have to point to this money when I collapse Li B Longxing."
"So what's next?"
"I heard Lin Meiru say that Xu Fei's 'old' paintings have a mark, and now the top priority is to figure out what Xu Fei's old mark is, so that we can expose the fake paintings, otherwise when the old boy sells things, he will make a lot of money."
After Li Tianbao finished speaking, he took out his mobile phone and called Lin Meiru, and when Lin Meiru answered the phone, Li Tianbao asked straight to the point: "You used to say that Xu Fei's old ancient paintings have marks, what is that mark?" ”
"Why are you asking this if you have nothing to do?" Lin Meiru asked rhetorically.
"Of course there's something urgent, hurry up and tell me about the mark."
"I don't know about this, this is a big secret, no one knows about it except for those museums and Xu Fei himself."
Lin Meiru's voice from the mobile phone directly made Li Tianbao unacceptable for a while, after he hung up the phone, he slapped the table hard and said: "Damn, I'm too anxious, it's still a mystery to get Xu Fei's mark for a long time, and now my plan is all in vain." ”
"Brother Bao, you can ask him directly, it's really not enough to make some money, don't you all live together."
"If it can be solved with money, I will also use you to remind him that Xu Fei's surname is not known to me no matter how you ask him, and if he knows that I use it to draw tricks for others, he will not tell me."
"Damn, what should I do?" Li Tianbao was worried, and he couldn't stop muttering, "Except for Xu Fei himself, only a few museums know." ”
When it came to the museum, Li Tianbao suddenly thought of Sun Jian of the Palace Museum, who had a good relationship with him last time when he donated the bronze tripod, and said that if there is anyone who can help in the future, he will definitely help.
When he thought of him, Li Tianbao hurriedly called Sun Jian's phone, "Brother Sun, is there something wrong with you?" ”
"It's Mr. Li, I'm very busy now, so let's do it, I'll get off work in an hour, and then you come to me, and then the two of us will talk in detail, okay."
"No problem, I'll pick you up after work." After Li Tianbao finished speaking, he took the money and walked towards the door.
"Brother Bao, where are you going?"
"Of course, it's to choose a few generous gifts, how can you get something that you can't get when you entrust someone to do things."
Coming out of Li's house, Li Tianbao went to a 4S store in Beijing Hyundai, and spent 110,000 yuan to buy a Rena hatchback, ready to give it to Sun Jian, because he was afraid of being too ostentatious, so Li Tianbao did not buy a particularly luxurious car, and Sun Jian, who was afraid of being honest, did not dare to accept it.
Then Li Tianbao deposited the rest of the money in the bank, after all, he couldn't run around the street with so much money.
After everything was completed, Li Tianbao drove a brand new to the research institute of the Palace Museum. Not long after stopping the car, Sun Jian walked out of it.
"Mr. Li, I'm sorry, I asked you to run it yourself, it's really been a bit busy in the past two days." Sun Jian still said politely as before.
"Brother Sun, don't always call me Mr. Li in the future, just call me Xiaobao or Tianbao Ducheng."
"Okay, it's really hard to change your words when you're used to it, then I'll call you Xiaobao in the future."
After Sun Jian finished speaking, he was invited to the car by Li Tianbao, and then the two came to the Peninsula Hotel, since the last time he came, Li Tianbao's impression of this place is too deep, this is an absolute luxury place, an excellent place to entertain, of course, the consumption level is indeed very high, but it is nothing for Li Tianbao.
At the dinner table in the luxurious box, Sun Jian said: "Xiaobao, if you tell me anything, I will definitely help you if I can help you, why do you come to this kind of place so cheaply." ”
"Brother, this time brother, I am indeed in trouble, you must help me this time." Li Tianbao told him about his festival with Li Longxing, and told him, "I got an ancient painting, I knew that it was Xu Fei's old painting, and used him to destroy Li Longxing, but then I didn't know what Xu Fei's mark was." ”
After hearing this, Sun Jian couldn't help asking: "Xiaobao, there are contradictions in what you said, if Xu Fei's old painting is not for someone who knows his mark, it can't be identified at all, since you know that the painting is fake, you should know Xu Fei's mark." ”
Sun Jian's analysis was indeed very accurate, but Li Tianbao reacted and said: "I got that painting from a museum staff, but I only knew that the painting was fake, but no matter how I asked him how to identify it, the guy didn't say." ”
So that's it! Sun Jiandao: "That incident is unbearable, it can be called a shame for the Chinese Museum!" ”
"It was 16 years ago, when I had just joined the work, and the person in charge of taking me was an older generation of researchers, and now I am the deputy director of our unit, and one day the person in charge of a local museum came to the unit and said that we should help look at a painting. At that time, we all thought it was strange, it stands to reason that we were all experts who had studied cultural relics for many years, so we would not be able to see things wrong, so I and the current deputy director went to go.
It was a painting, and the pen was exquisite, and there was no problem at all, but after we finished speaking, the other party said that the painting was a fake, and the study of cultural relics for many years, especially the appreciation of calligraphy and painting, was half dead.
But the young man brought by the person in charge of the local museum took out a bottle of iodine and wiped it in the upper right corner of the painting, and after a while, three words appeared, "Xu Fei do", and we were really surprised at that time.
Under the introduction of the person in charge of the other party, we knew the young man next to him, and knew that he was Xu Fei, a young man from rural Jiangsu.
But the young man showed us a replica of the Qingming Riverside Map, of course, even if he only drew a beginning, it was impossible to finish it in a lot of time. In terms of pen power, not only can it be fake, but it is simply impossible for anyone to see the traces of imitation. Coupled with the several unique aging processes he said, we also have to believe it.
When we asked the young man who he had learned to draw from and why he was suddenly going all over the place, he just said three words: "Debt of love!" ”。 Then he told us that you can deal with it as you please, that the debt has been paid, and that it is time to atone for your sins.
Such a genius made the heads of several museums unbearable to call the police, and decided to stop after discussing with several local museums, after all, such a shameful thing is not disgraceful, so there is no news of this matter. ”
After listening to Sun Jian's words, Li Tianbao became even more curious, but obviously Sun Jian didn't know what Xu Fei had experienced before.
"I think you also listened to Lin Meiru, at that time, his grandfather Lin Boshan, was also one of the people in charge of the 'institute', so except for a few institutions, he rarely knew about this matter."
After Sun Jian finished speaking, he said, "You want me to tell you where Xu Fei's old mark is, right?" ”
When Li Tianbao heard this, he hurriedly said, "That's right, this is very important to me. ”
