Chapter 339: Counterfeiting is also a craft
"Boss Qin, those people in Hong Kong and Macao are not muddy, they have real talents and real learning."
Dou Jianjun, who had been feeling dry in the steam room, couldn't help but become more rapid in breathing when he heard Qin Feng's words, and his pupils suddenly dilated.
You must know that although Dou Jianjun has been in the smuggling business for more than ten years, the price of antiques in the mainland was not high abroad in the early years, and it was rare to sell more than a few hundred thousand things, so the profit was relatively low.
Therefore, in the smuggling industry, those who smuggle cultural relics often look down on those who smuggle cars and motorcycles, because they play jishu work, but in terms of interests, smuggling cultural relics is far worse than smuggling oil cars.
In recent years, the market has been good, but the state has also cracked down on the smuggling of cultural relics, if it were not for someone on Hong Kong Island or abroad to book expensive objects, Dou Jianjun rarely made a move, and he did three or five businesses a year.
In addition, the antique dealers on Hong Kong Island and abroad have relatively low prices, not to mention that Dou Jianjun is famous in the smuggling industry, but it is actually difficult to live up to his fame, and the money he has earned from smuggling cultural relics in recent years adds up to less than 5 million.
However, after gaining a reputation in the rivers and lakes, Dou Jianjun has made a lot of money from some businesses invested in his hometown, just like the sauna club they are in now, which can bring Dou Jianjun more than 100,000 yuan of income every month.
However, even so, Dou Jianjun's current net worth has not reached 10 million, and supporting his 100 brothers is also very stressful for Dou Jianjun.
So when he heard Qin Feng say that he could easily earn tens of millions of dollars a year, Dou Jianjun was suddenly moved, if he can make money properly, who the hell wants to live with his head hanging on his trouser belt?
It's just that Dou Jianjun still can't trust Qin Feng, because some appraisers from Hong Kong, Macao and foreign countries have very clever appraisal methods. Qin Feng wants to sell fraud on a large scale, and the difficulty is not ordinary.
If the things that Dou Jianjun took out every time were fake, it would offend the guests, not to mention, I am afraid that in the group that will be collected abroad in the future, no one will be willing to do business with him again.
Qin Feng naturally saw Dou Jianjun's scruples, and immediately spoke: "Boss Dou." In these businesses, you are only a middleman or broker, and you are not responsible for the authenticity of the goods, so that whether the transaction is successful or not has no impact on your credibility in the Tao......"
What Qin Feng values is actually the identity that Dou Jianjun wants to hide in every possible way.
Because of the high-quality antiques made by Qin Feng, if you want to sell them as genuine, you must go through unconventional channels. Otherwise, he could have used modern art to declare his country, but then the huge profits would be gone.
Dou Jianjun has been in this business for more than ten years, not only has perfect sales channels in Hong Kong, Macao and abroad, but more importantly, only what he smuggles out will be sent to the private collections of those rich and powerful.
"Boss Qin, that's not what I said."
Dou Jianjun thought for a moment. He shook his head and said, "Everything is indispensable, if the objects I take out are identified as fake." Then Dou doesn't want to mix up in this business......"
Dou Jianjun also thought far-reaching, Qin Feng's approach could certainly make his risk greatly reduced.
But in the same way, what is fake is fake, as long as it is fake, there is a possibility that it will be seen, once or twice. But if there are too many times, it will destroy the foundation on which Dou Jianjun depends.
"That's what Boss Dou said."
Qin Feng thought for a moment and said, "That's it, what I give you, as long as it is seen twice as a fake." Then our cooperation will come to an end, what do you think? ”
Qin Feng is still quite confident in his own means of falsification, and he is ...... It's also a craft.
From the Han Dynasty imitating the jade of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, to the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, this generation has been passed down from generation to generation, from bronze to ceramic calligraphy and painting, there are few utensils that have not been imitated, and gradually formed a trade, I don't know how many people rely on this to eat.
Generally, artificial fakes are processed and manufactured according to the form of books with modern technology, which belongs to assembly line operations, and people with a little professional knowledge can recognize them at a glance.
The more clever people have a certain artistic foundation, not only all the processes are handmade, restoring the form of the artifacts, but also in the artistic conception, they can also figure out a trace of taste.
Such an item, can be called high imitation, in some regular antique stores to buy high imitation antiques, although the price is far less than the real thing, but the production is exquisite, usually more than 10,000 yuan, it can be seen that the degree of realism of high imitation antiques.
As for the real masters of counterfeiting, the things they produce can no longer be called high imitations, because the time and energy they spend in the process of imitation is no easier than when they made the real thing.
The objects made from their hands are all carefully crafted, and the resemblance to the genuine product is at least 99% or more, and it is difficult for even experienced appraisers to identify the authenticity of the things.
And in terms of artistic attainments, the things made by these people are no worse than the real thing, and even surpass it, because these masters of counterfeiting can be called grandmaster-level characters in themselves.
In the Republic of China, there was such a genius, called Zhang Daqian, he spent a lot of time and effort in his early years to copy the masterpieces of the ancients, especially his imitation of Shi Tao and Bada Shanren's works are even more vivid, almost chaotic.
The paintings copied by many people in history can generally only be used in appearance, and have not been able to penetrate into the realm, while Zhang Daqian's pseudo-antiquity is as if it were chaotic and real.
In order to test whether his pseudo-ancient works can reach the level of chaos, he invited Huang Binhong, Zhang Congyu, Luo Zhenyu, Wu Hufan and other connoisseurs and experts from famous museums in Shijie countries to appraise them, and left a lot of interesting anecdotes.
The artistic value and status of many of Zhang Daqian's forgeries in the history of Chinese art are comparable to those of ancient masters.
Many museums on Shijie now have his forgeries, such as the Freer Museum of Art in Washington, D.C., which has his "The Three Hidden Men of Wu Zhong", the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York has his "Shitao Landscape" and "Meiqing Landscape", and the British Museum in London has his "Giant Forest" and so on.
Zhang Daqian was famous for copying in his early years, but in fact, there are many people who surpass Zhang Daqian in copying, but they are not famous behind the scenes.
However, many of today's masterpieces are actually written by these people, and they have not been identified until now, and they have been included in some domestic and foreign collectors and museums as authentic works.
Zai Yu once told Qin Feng one thing, an ancient painting of the Song Dynasty in the collection of the Forbidden City on Taiwan Island is a work of his in the past 30 years, and it has been regarded as a genuine work to this day.
Qin Feng himself had learned a complete set of techniques for the restoration and counterfeiting of cultural relics from Zaiyu, and he also had some relevant knowledge in the inheritance of the Outer Eight Sects in his mind.
Coupled with the fact that Qin Feng is now in college, he has learned systematic drug dispensing and chemical applications, so it can be said that if he wants to make something, there is no possibility that people will see through it.
Looking at Qin Feng's confident look, Dou Jianjun was also infected by him, anyway, if there were fakes once or twice, he could also talk about the past, if Qin Feng's road didn't work, and it was cut off in time, the impact on Dou Jianjun would not be very great.
"Okay, Boss Qin, this business ...... I did, but I have one condition......" After thinking about it for a while, Dou Jianjun finally nodded and agreed.
"Oh? What conditions? Boss Dou, please say. ”
At this moment, they had been in the steam room for almost half an hour, Qin Feng and Dou Jianjun were sweating profusely, but neither of them said anything about going out.
"For all the transactions, I have to take someone to see the goods first......," Dou Jianjun stared at Qin Feng and said, "If you can pass my level, you can send things out." ”
Even if Dou Jianjun has never eaten pork, he has seen pigs run away, and he has been smuggling cultural relics for so many years, Dou Jianjun himself is already an expert, and he also has a special appraiser under him.
However, compared to the top experts in China and those experts from Hong Kong, Macao and abroad, Dou Jianjun thinks that he is slightly inferior, so if the objects that Qin Feng takes out can't pass his eyes, then there is no need to send them out.
"That's totally fine......"
Hearing Dou Jianjun's request, Qin Feng couldn't help laughing and said, "That's it, if Boss Dou has nothing to do in the past few days, it's okay to go back to the capital with me this afternoon......
"Going today?" Dou Jianjun was stunned for a moment when he heard this, you must know that Zhao Fengjian's aftermath has not been dealt with yet.
"Okay, I'll have someone book a ticket in a moment."
However, compared with the future business transformation, the future of Zhao Fengjian, the dead ghost, is obviously not so important, as long as Zhao Fengjian's family is notified, and then handed over to his subordinates to deal with.
"Okay, then we'll make a decision!" Qin Feng stretched out his right palm, and Dou Jianjun hurriedly stretched out his hand as well, and high-fived Qin Feng.
After negotiating the matter, Qin Feng smiled and said, "Let's go, Boss Dou, we can sleep for a while when we go out, but it's enough to toss today." ”
"No, Lao Zhao is really unlucky." Dou Jianjun let out a long sigh and glanced at Qin Feng, and a knowing smile appeared on both of their faces at the same time.
After the two of them went out, Li Yongqian and the others, who were originally soaking in the pool, had already gone to rest at this time, Dou Jianjun asked people to arrange a room for Qin Feng, but he made a call, and he had to bring a few people over on this trip to the capital.
The plane was more than four o'clock in the afternoon, and since it would take more than an hour to get from Jieyang to Shanshi Airport, Qin Feng, Zhu Kai and others got up at more than 11 o'clock, and after lunch, it was already a little faster than noon.
As for Li Yongqian, he also received an invitation from Qin Feng and was going to visit the True Jade Workshop in the capital, so he rushed back to the village early in the morning, and after arranging the jadeite, he rushed to the sauna club.
"Boss Dou, are you going to take us to the airport?" After getting into the eight-person business car, Li Yongqian found that Dou Jianjun was actually sitting in the car. (To be continued......)
