Chapter 667: When the True Is False, the False Is True
Thinking about it this way, Chu Chen really felt that it was possible, because he really couldn't understand how anyone in the world could imitate Zhao Mengfu's imitation as if it were the real thing, if this was the case, there would be some relevant records in the ancient books.
Thinking of this, Chu Chen pretended to look at the text, but privately he was carefully observing the silk used in this work.
Silk and paper, the materials used in calligraphy and painting, play a certain role in the dating of calligraphy and painting, for example, the work of a calligrapher and painter of the Ming Dynasty appears on the paper of the Qing Dynasty, think about it, this is impossible. Therefore, the identification of silk and paper is also very important in the identification of calligraphy and painting.
According to research, the silk paintings of the late Zhou Dynasty and the Chu tomb of the Warring States period and the silk paintings of the Han tombs of Mawangjiao in the later period are all made of silk woven with a relatively dense monofilament, and there is no double silk silk (that is, the warp is a double filament, and the weft is woven into silk with a single filament).
From the Five Dynasties to the Southern Song Dynasty, the silk has developed and changed compared with the previous generation. On the surface, in addition to the single silk silk, the form of double silk also appeared. The warp thread of this double silk is a group of two silks, and there is a gap of about one thread between each two groups, and the weft thread is a single filament.
Generally speaking, the silk of the Yuan Dynasty is thicker than the Song silk, not as fine and white as the Song silk, and it also shows a loose state.
And the silk used in the "Luo Shen Fu" in front of me is the characteristics of the silk of the Yuan Dynasty, so the possibility that this work is authentic is greatly improved.
This discovery lifted Chu Chen's spirits, but even so, the identification of authenticity could not be completed in a while, and he was also a little worried that he had watched it for too long. Ma Laocai will also see something.
In order to avoid this kind of thing, Chu Chen simply used the ability. A reddish-gold glimmer immediately flashed in my mind, that is. The value of this "Luo Shen Fu" has exceeded 10 million, so what can it be if it is not genuine?
Such a treasure, because Bawei is an imitation, has been left until now, and it also makes Ma Laocai think it is an imitation, which makes Chu Chen sigh, this is really ...... That's great!
Pretending to look carefully at the end from the beginning, Chu Chen put away the magnifying glass and sighed: "This person's imitation is really good." But why do you want to write the tail of Zhuzhi Mountain! ”
"Yes! Oh, yes! That guy really has a problem with his brain, and he doesn't even know how to cherish such a good thing. Ma Xiaoqiang said with an angry face.
"Uh-huh!"
Ma Laocai coughed heavily, and Ma Xiaoqiang reacted, what he said just now had leaked the bottom of his family, and he was quite embarrassed. However, while being embarrassed, he was also a little unconvinced. The secret path is already like this, and there is anything bad to say, everyone with a discerning eye knows it. It's a fake, isn't it?
Chu Chen smiled and said, "If you want to say, if you can prove who the author is." As long as this person is famous, then the value of this work must be good. It's a pity that there is no way to find out about this matter. So, I think it's worth 200,000 is good! ”
As soon as Ma Laocai heard Chu Chen talk about the specific price, he immediately understood that Chu Chen should have the idea of buying, which made his spirits lift, and he said with a smile:
"Chu Shao, just talk about things, the level of this "Luo Shen Fu" is here, and it can't be worth only 200,000 yuan anyway. To tell you the truth, when I bought it, it cost 600,000 yuan, and a few years have passed, and the 600,000 yuan is placed in the bank, and there is a lot of interest, and the money in the past is worth more than now, if you really want it, I count you cheaper, 800,000, what do you think? ”
Speaking of which, Ma Laocai actually wants to be higher, but this calligraphy has become his heart disease, and he can't help but get rid of it immediately. Of course, although he wants to get out of trouble as soon as possible, he will not do anything at a loss, and even hopes to make up the interest for the past few years.
Chu Chen shook his head: "Mr. Ma, your price is a little unkind, I won't talk about the market price, last year, a company in Shanghai auctioned a copy of Zhao Mengfu's regular script, which is also very exciting, but the estimate is only about 24,000 to 32,000, and it is still unsold." ”
"Although your work is large in size and imitation is in place, no matter how you say that imitation is imitation, an imitation word has already determined its market value, and I said that 200,000 yuan is already a very reasonable price. If you don't believe it, you can ask a friend if there is such a thing. ”
Hearing Chu Chen say this, Ma Laocai's father and son were stunned, and then Ma Laocai said: "Chu Shao, please wait for a while, let's discuss it first." ”
Chu Chen smiled and nodded, indicating that it didn't matter.
After the father and son left, Ming Mazi said with a smile: "This father and son are not good things, I guess I really called to ask." ”
Chu Chen said: "After all, it is related to hundreds of thousands of businesses, so it is understandable to be cautious." ”
Ming Mazi complimented: "Chu Shao, you are kind-hearted, if you change me, what kind of face does this kind of person give him, sell it, sell it, and pull it down if you don't sell it, besides, it's just a fake, 800,000 yuan is also a loss to him!" ”
When Director Jin heard this, he smiled and said: "How can you do business like you, how many things can you do when you negotiate the price like this?" As for saying that fakes are not fakes, Chu Shao must have a plan in his heart. ”
Of course, Chu Chen couldn't tell the facts, so he explained: "In our antique industry, this kind of thing is called an imitation, although it is not as valuable as the real thing, but it also has a good collection value, but 800,000 is a little too much, I definitely won't buy it." ”
"Yes! Oh, yes! Although Ming Mazi felt that it was a little strange that fakes were worth so much money, he still nodded and agreed, anyway, he didn't go to any antiques, why did he know so clearly.
After the three of them chatted a few more words, Ma Xiaoqiang pushed Ma Laocai and walked over.
Ma Laocai said with a smile: "Chu Shao, what you said is definitely true, but the work at the auction is far worse than mine, and there is no comparison at all, but, just like you just said, imitation is imitation after all, I will suffer a loss, 600,000 to buy, 600,000 to sell!" However, I won't sell it for any less! ”
Chu Chen breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said, "I was originally worried that I would be laughed at by my friends when I bought it expensive, but since you said so, forget it." Okay, let's go to the bank now, I'm still in a hurry! ”
Ma Laocai's father and son were stunned when they saw Chu Chen's reaction, at first they thought that Chu Chen was playing a trick to capture and indulge, but when they saw that Chu Chen really walked directly to the yard, their hearts suddenly became anxious, and Ma Xiaoqiang hurriedly chased after him.
In fact, Chu Chen is really playing a trick to catch and indulge, the reason why he thinks that Ma Laocai and his son will definitely sell things to him cheaper, is also because he sees that the father and son want to sell things in a hurry, otherwise why would they think of selling "Luo Shen Fu" to him when they got more than three million.
As for saying that more than three million is not enough, Chu Chen thinks it is a trick to deceive people, with the current wage level in Wucheng, even if a worker can't make so much money in his life, others can get by, but their family can't survive?
Of course, after all, it is something worth tens of millions, Chu Chen must be very apprehensive in his heart when he does this, but if he agrees on the spot, he is afraid that Ma Laocai will have something to do, although this possibility is not great, but he really can't help but be wary of trading with this kind of person.
When Chu Chen was about to walk to the door, thinking that he was wrong, Ma Xiaoqiang chased after him, and then invited Chu Chen to the side.
Ma Xiaoqiang said with a smile on his face: "Chu Shao, don't pay attention to my old man, he actually wants to sell things cheaper, but he wants to save face, if it is lower than the price we purchased, he can't get over the hurdle in his heart." So, I'll be the master, 500,000, how about it? ”
Chu Chen frowned and said: "500,000 is still too much, we have also done more than 3 million business, I'll tell you the truth, my psychological price is 400,000!" If I can sell it, I'll ask for it! ”
"My Chu Da Shao! Our purchase price is really 600,000 yuan, 500,000 yuan is already a loss of 100,000 yuan, 400,000 yuan is really a loss to grandma's family, this is definitely not good. If I lie, there will be five thunders in the sky! ”
Saying that, Ma Xiaoqiang also swore an oath.
Seeing this situation, Chu Chen was speechless in his heart, I believe in the oath made by people like you, then I might as well believe that the sows are on the tree. He frowned and said, "But this thing is only worth 400,000 yuan to me, and if I buy it for 500,000 yuan, I won't be able to pass the hurdle in my heart!" ”
"TMD, why is this kid so hard to speak!"
Ma Xiaoqiang scolded secretly, and said with a long sigh on the surface: "That's it, let's fold it, 450,000, if it is less, I can't convince my old man." ”
Chu Chen pondered for a while and said, "That's okay, I'll suffer a loss!" ”
"We only earned you a total of 30,000 yuan, you suffer a fart!"
Ma Xiaoqiang scolded angrily in his heart, then said hello to Chu Chen, and went back to talk to Ma Laocai about the matter.
Ma Laocai was still very reluctant to see that it was only sold for 450,000 yuan, but he thought that this "Luo Shen Fu" had been pressed for too long, and the sooner he could recover the principal, the more cost-effective it would be, so he could only agree depressedly.
Then, after the two sides signed the agreement, Chu Chen first took Ming Mazi to the bank to transfer money, but there was no way, if he didn't transfer the money first, Ma Laocai didn't agree to move things out of the door.
The bank was not far away, and the formalities were completed after a while, and when the two of them went back, the car called by Director Jin had already arrived.
So, everyone carefully moved the furniture into the car and made the safest fixation.
In addition, for the sake of safety, Chu Chen still put the "Luo Shen Fu" in his car, otherwise if something went wrong, he would have no place to cry. (To be continued......)
