When he arrived in the study, Zou Heming pulled a stool and sat down, while Fang Yi hung this "Feng Huan" on the nail that had been prepared on the wall of his study.

Taking two steps back, Fang Yi took a closer look and felt that the upper left corner of the painting was a little too high, so he went back to the front of the painting and made some minor adjustments to the painting.

"That's it! Let's talk about it, how do you know that this work is genuine, and what is in the hands of the Japanese is fake! Zou Heming couldn't stand Fang Yi's grinding a little, and looked at Fang Yi holding his chin more than two meters away from the painting, and couldn't help but open his mouth to ask with an intoxicated look.

Fang Yi didn't turn his head, looked intently at the leak he had newly picked up, and opened his mouth to explain: "I originally knew that the Japanese Museum was a copy, as for whether this one is genuine, I didn't dare to judge at first, but I went to Sofby's website, and when I saw the big picture of this work, I was already 80% sure of it!" ”。

As for how to know the authenticity of this work, Fang Yi had long prevented others from asking, and directly said the reason he had in mind in his mind to Zou Heming.

Zou Heming didn't ask in detail when he heard this, but asked Fang Yi, "Then what are you going to do next?" Just put this piece in your study? ”。

"If you don't put it here, where can you put it?" Fang Yi didn't understand what Zou Heming meant: "Do I still have to hire a safe deposit box in the bank and put the work there?" ”。 It stands to reason that this is the safest, but in Fang Yi's opinion, safety is safe, but it is inconvenient.

Zou Heming looked at Fang Yi and asked, "You don't want to use this to do something?" After speaking, he smiled at Fang Yi and raised his eyebrows: "No matter what you say, you have to tell the world, the Japanese are fakes!" ”。

"Huh! This question can be considered. But Sofoube is going to be shot again this time! Fang Yi smiled and looked at Zou Heming and said.

Zou Heming turned his mind for a moment and said to Fang Yi: "That's it, you put this painting on display in the exhibition hall." The pavilion claims that you have identified the work as genuine. Don't talk about it, let me ask you if you have any thoughts on becoming an appraiser at a auction house? ”。

"Not interested!" Fang Yi hurriedly shook his head and said, "What do you have to do to find yourself a class?" Do you think I'm struggling to make ends meet right now? ”。

"It's not like you're going to work. It's as an appraisal consultant for the auction house, the kind that takes money and doesn't have to spend too much time! Zou Heming said to Fang Yi.

Fang Yi thought for a while and said, "Still not interested!" Maybe it's hundreds of thousands of dollars in a year, it's really not too interesting! ”。

"I can see a lot of famous paintings sent for auction, and they are face-to-face, holding a magnifying glass to see them," Zou Heming said to Fang Yi.

Fang Yi glanced at Zou Heming, looked at it carefully, and then looked at Lao Zou's face and said, "You're a little wrong." How do you think of asking me to accept an invitation to be a consultant at a certain auction house? ”。

Zou Heming smiled at Fang Yi and said, "I suddenly have another idea in my heart, a way to make your fame go to the next level!" ”。

"Isn't I famous enough now?" Fang Yi looked at Zou Heming with a little dissatisfaction and said. I can't go to the painter's village like I used to wander around, and if this is more famous, I can't even get out of the house! How do you live this day!

Zou Heming looked at Fang Yi and said, "Anyway, you spend most of your time in the studio. If you weren't showing your head in the painter's village, it wouldn't matter to you if you couldn't get out. Besides, you're not a Hollywood star, and you have street photography as soon as you go out, so don't forget to put an artist's hat on your head. I just need you to be in some decent public media. As for the media that is too massive, I don't care! ”。

Hearing Zou Heming say this, Fang Yi connected the above words and thought for a while before asking, "What you said is to go to the next level through my appraisal?" ”。

"Hmmm! Your reputation in this area is very much to be developed, I have been thinking about this problem from time to time before, but there has been no entry point, and now it is just time to use this matter to push the boat down" Zou Heming looked at the expression on Fang Yi's face and did not have such a big resistance just now, so he gave Fang Yi a detailed explanation.

After hearing this, Fang Yi asked a little curiously, "Don't give a reason?" ”。 Listening to Zou Heming's explanation, Fang Yi also felt that it seemed that this matter was feasible, and he didn't have to waste too much time.

"What do you want to do with so many reasons as a consultant?" Zou Heming said to Fang Yi: "If you are in a good mood and find a fake work, you can point out one or two pieces that can be seen, and if you are in a bad mood, just say that it is true or false!" ”。

The effect of this thing Zou Heming wants is to be maverick. With a bit of art, if it's like when Fang Yi was painting. Who's going to be interested in this?

"Then you go ahead and try it!" For this consultant, Fang Yi now thinks that Zou Heming can't do it, because now where in this appraisal industry says that you spend money to hire you, you only say the truth and the falsehood, not the truth, and where the fake is! You just have to say two words, true or false? It's too easy to take this money!

Zou Heming said happily when he heard this: "That's okay!" But this work will be put in the exhibition hall first! ”。

"No problem, if you need it, I'll send it to the showroom the day after tomorrow! Then open it to the public," Fang Yi said with a smile at Zou Heming. The public is now mainly young artists in the Painters' Village, and in the future, I believe that in a week, Japanese people will come to the exhibition hall and compare this work with the work in their own museum.

"Hmmm! Then I'll let the manager of the exhibition hall hand over with you the day after tomorrow! Zou Heming nodded and said.

The so-called handover is not as simple as making a note and then taking away Fang Yi's painting, and there are a lot of things, this is not dozens of dollars, this work involves tens of millions of dollars, just such a small thing, the vast majority of people in the world can't earn this money in their lives!

Not only handover, but also transportation, insurance company insurance, and a series of procedures to be done.

Fang Yi continued to raise his head. Looking at the work in front of me, looking at some of the subtle damage on it, I wondered how I could repair it after the exhibition in the exhibition hall. Now Fang Yi doesn't have the ability to repair it even if he wants to. Most of the paint and oil on it are not in Fang Yi's hands, what to repair and restore!

Zou Heming saw that Fang Yi looked so carefully, he also got up from the chair, took out a magnifying glass from Fang Yi's table, and then looked at the work.

After staying at Fang Yi's house for a night, Zou Heming flew back to New York the next morning.

Waiting for the handover of this work was not so smooth, and there were some problems with the insurance company. Because the insurance company did not dare to determine that the works that Fang Yi sent to the exhibition hall were genuine, and the works in the Japanese museum were fakes, after all, the one that had been in the museum for a long time. You just said that this painting was genuine?

Fang Yi was dismissive of the insurance company's claim: in the end, he simply gave up the insurance, and instead lent the work he had in hand to the exhibition hall in the name of private lending. Just signed a contract with the guarantor company.

So the news spread immediately. When the exhibition hall opened the next day, there was a circle of people in front of the painting, and the number of people in front of the work did not decrease throughout the day.

The media in Los Angeles picked up the news like hounds that day, and the next day, it was similar to "Sofoube made the same mistake a few years later?" The headline appeared in California newspapers and spread across the United States and Europe within a day.

Such a headline made Sofby, the world's leading photographer, nervous for a while, and Sofoube responded quickly, and the newspapers here in California questioned it. In less than an hour, Soffoby denied on his website that he had made a mistake and claimed that his conclusions were scientific and valid. At the same time announced in the afternoon. Sofford will hold an on-site launch event in New York.

Hearing this, Fang Yi couldn't help but smile, the so-called scientific evidence is based on the order of discovery, that is to say, the imitation appeared before the original, and the level of imitation is quite high, so the imitation is regarded as the original work and has become a benchmark, and the original work has no such a benchmark, so it is naturally regarded as a forgery.

In fact, the way to identify is also very simple, put the two works together, let the Rubens appraisal experts see, even if the top appraisal firm can't say any reason, but follow your own feelings can say which one is closer to Rubens person!

Facing Sofby's press conference, Fang Yi was not interested in listening. Not because of anything else, but because of the news from Paris that Bobile's quick work had been completed and was now waiting to dry before being put on a plane and sent to Los Angeles.

Hearing this news, where did Fang Yi still have the strength to pay attention to the matter of Sofby, no matter what they said, they had genuine products in their hands. Now Fang Yi put aside his thoughts, and restlessly waited in his own home for Bobile's works to arrive, so that he could open his boundary.

"Be careful! Be careful! Fang Yi said to the gallery staff who were responsible for transporting the paintings from the airport to his studio, for fear of hurting Bobile's so-called quick masterpiece.

Watching the four of them put the work on the wall, as for why they didn't put it on the easel, the three-meter by four-meter work was better placed against the wall.

As soon as it was put away, Fang Yi nodded to the four staff members to express his gratitude. The four of them also knew that Fang Yi was the big owner of the gallery, so they nodded and walked out of Fang Yi's studio.

I heard that Bobil had a work coming, how could it be that Fang Yi was alone, and the three of Khima, Ruud and Artur arrived at home early and waited!

"Hurry up, cut the breaded strap!" Rude shouted at Fang Yi and said.

Fang Yi turned his head and looked for it on the table: "Where are the scissors!" ”。

"With a knife!" As he spoke, Kahima pulled out a Swiss Army knife smaller than his thumb from his pocket and began to cut it.

Fang Yi also found his small scissors at this time, and it didn't take a minute for the four of them to take off the few bundled threads outside, and as soon as they lifted the cover cloth outside, the canvas was revealed.

As soon as he saw the canvas, Fang Yi was directly stupid, and looked at it blankly with a big mouth. Not only Fang Yirude and Kehima all had such expressions, but all four of them were stunned at once! (To be continued......)
