Chapter 23 Satisfaction
As soon as he saw this identical gourd bottle, Li Xiaoning sighed slightly, didn't speak, took out his wallet, ordered a thousand yuan and handed it over.
The old man happily took it, nodded, and then said with a smile: "Boss, wrap it up for you?" ”
"No, you don't." Li Xiaoning shook his head, stepped forward, picked up the gourd bottle and played with it carefully in his hand, only to see that the porcelain tire was delicate and dense, and the glaze layer was even and smooth, which made people love it.
"What a good thing!" Li Xiaoning let out an exclamation.
"That is to say, boss, you are lucky, if it weren't for the lack of money, we wouldn't have sold the things handed down from our ancestors, I'm sorry ancestors!" The old man looked unbearable.
A "snap" interrupted the old man's words, and the blue and white gourd bottle had fallen from Li Xiaoning's hand to the concrete floor, falling apart.
This time, even Liu Qifeng was stunned, I don't know why he was still praising this bottle one second, and the next second he smashed it.
Li Xiaoning bent down and picked up a piece of porcelain, the crack was dazzling......
Li Xiaoning took the porcelain piece to the old man and lit it up, then threw it back into the pile of fragments, and said with a sneer: "This is also an old thing handed down from the ancestors? ”
The old man's face was flushed, and he smacked his lips, but finally he didn't say a word.
"How many such things are there?" Li Xiaoning asked coldly.
"No, just these two." The old man said with his head bowed.
"There won't be any more, will it?" Li Xiaoning stared at the old man's eyes and said.
"No, absolutely not." The old man shook his head again and again.
"That's good!" Li Xiaoning turned his head and said to Liu Qifeng, "Mr. Liu, let's go." ”
Liu Qifeng had a gloomy face, took the lead and went out, until he got to the car, and then asked with a slight sigh: "Did you know that the bottle was a fake from the beginning?" ”
"At first, I really didn't see it, it was too similar, but then when I asked them if there were anything else, they missed the filling, and I thought this thing might not be real." Li Xiaoning said calmly.
"Then why spend these seven thousand dollars? Just to buy a lesson? Liu Qifeng said angrily and funny.
"The 6,000 yuan was for the lettering, and only later the 1,000 yuan was for the bottle." A sly smile appeared on the corner of Li Xiaoning's mouth.
"The words?" Liu Qifeng was stunned for a moment, "Didn't you say that the painting was a fake?" ”
Li Xiaoning smiled slightly and said: "Chief, that's Dong Qichang's words, one foot is worth millions, not to mention three feet?" If I don't say it's a fake, how can I buy this thing? ”
"Is it the real thing?" Liu Qifeng suddenly came to his senses again.
Li Xiaoning said with a smile: "The calligraphy we just bought, according to the old man, the paper, the ink, and the mounting are all real old things, and the charm of leisure, comfort, lightness and self-sufficiency revealed in the calligraphy cannot be faked." So this painting is genuine.
"But that seal does look fake. How can this be explained? Liu Qifeng was still a little puzzled.
Li Xiaoning smiled and said: "That's really fake, it is estimated that it is difficult to sell without a seal, but I don't know Dong Qichang's seal, according to incomplete statistics, there are more than 100 more, most of which are seals with the same inscription, but different shapes, sizes, seals, and knife techniques." The difference between his seals and other calligraphers and painters is that there are several sets of his seals that are similar to each other, and it is difficult to find out the standard appearance, so the authenticity of his paintings and calligraphy cannot be determined by the seals.
What's even more unreliable is that some of his proud works, especially those in his own family collection, are never sealed, and some ghostwriting paintings and calligraphy are actually printed or left genuine. Therefore, to identify the authenticity of Dong Qichang's calligraphy and painting, we mainly have to rely on the calligraphy and painting itself, that is, the brushwork, chapter method, structure, ink and color.
Now the genuine product is fake, and it has become a fake, and it happens to be used by me. But Rao is like this, we can't buy it directly, otherwise the father and son will definitely be suspicious, and it will be difficult to buy it if they are suspicious together. ”
"Okay, you Xiao Li, what a thief." Liu Qifeng happily patted Li Xiaoning's shoulder and said, "You originally used the plank road to repair the plank road in the Ming Dynasty and secretly plan to Chen Cang, obviously you wanted to buy the bottle, but in fact, you went for the words." ”
Li Xiaoning smiled shyly and said: "Dong Qichang's words are very rare, you can't miss the opportunity if you encounter them, don't worry, this character is used to give away, and it is absolutely handy." ”
Liu Qifeng was in a good mood, and asked with a smile: "Why did you go back and spend a thousand yuan to buy another bottle later, and it was broken?" ”
Li Xiaoning smiled meaningfully and said: "That bottle is so fake, the reason why I want to go back is to determine its authenticity." As soon as they pulled out another bottle, I knew they were buying a fake. These of them are fakes, since they have faked, they must be reluctant to make only one, but like this kind of high imitation, they will not do more, after all, more is not worth much, generally there are two. I smashed another bottle in front of them just to deter them from making similar fakes in the future.
Second, this high-imitation bottle, although it is a fake, but it is enough to confuse the real thing, if only the chief of your hand of this bottle survives, find a suitable opportunity, or sell it at a good price. ”
"Good, good. Today can be said to be a full return, let's go home. Liu Qifeng said happily, leaning back on the chair and closing his eyes. After this time, he was even more satisfied with Li Xiaoning in his heart - this kid is smarter than he imagined, and many things in officialdom can be understood at a glance, and what is even more rare is that he is loyal to himself, and the antiques worth millions are not hidden from him at all. These are all many times stronger than Mao Qiushi's kid, and you can consider adding a heavier burden to him.
In fact, it can't be blamed that Liu Qifeng attaches importance to Li Xiaoning so rashly. A leader, especially in Liu Qifeng's position, a good secretary is often more important than the heads of several departments. The leader is too busy, some things can't be thought of, and some things are inconvenient to do, all of which require a good secretary to think about what the leader thinks and thinks, and what the leader is anxious about. More importantly, the secretary is often the person who has the most secrets of the leader, and if his secretary is not the same as himself, then the leader is even worse.
Therefore, don't look at the secretary too simply, the secretary is easy to find, but the good secretary is never easy to find. There is another reason why a good secretary is even more precious. That is, it is impossible for a leader to take a secretary with him for too long, and he usually has to release his secretary to promote after a few years. Because if you don't, no one will want to follow you in the future. For this reason, there are even fewer satisfied secretaries.
But Li Xiaoning fully meets these conditions, he is smart, knows a lot, knows how to do things, is loyal to the "boss", and is a college student who has just graduated, even if he is released in a few years later, there will be no dissatisfaction.
