But Zhao Mengfu is different, because in the home of the old customer in the capital who traded with him not long ago, there is a calligraphy work by Zhao Mengfu, and it is also in regular script. Therefore, as soon as he saw that the handwriting of Zhao Mengfu on the regular script work in front of him was the same as that of the person's, he subconsciously thought that it must be genuine.

In fact, Zhao Mengfu's calligraphy and painting are famous in later generations, so that there are countless imitations and forgeries, among which there are many famous artists or handwriting imitations that are particularly realistic, and there are not a few of them who can be fake and real.

Therefore, since Ma Laocai is not good at the appraisal of calligraphy and painting, he should pay attention to this aspect, but this guy was already full of money at that time, plus he had seen the real work from the old customers, and there was a comparison, and he no longer looked at any other seals, papers, etc., so he was sure that the work in front of him was genuine.

With the idea of making a fortune, Ma Laocai said to the old man with a pity on his face that this thing was an imitation.

If one person says it's wrong, or that person's vision is wrong, but the second person doesn't say it either, the old man is somewhat suspicious. However, after all, this thing was handed down by his ancestors, and he hadn't given up in his heart, so he was ready to put it away and go to another place to see it.

Seeing this, Ma Laocai was immediately very anxious, he didn't want the duck that was about to reach his mouth to fly, and hurriedly said that although this work is not Zhao Mengfu's real work, it is also an old imitation work, so the value is quite high, if the old man wants to sell it, he can also buy it at a more reasonable price.

When the old man heard that some imitation things actually had a high value, he felt a little suspicious in his heart, worried that Ma Laocai wanted to buy his things for a small amount of money.

What kind of person is Ma Laocai. How could he not understand the old man's thoughts, so he quickly explained the truth to the old man.

Speaking of which. Antiques are a thing that pays attention to an ancient word. Even if the imitation was not worth much money at the time, after tens or hundreds of years, its value will rise, especially if the imitation is particularly good, the value will rise faster.

Not to mention far away, let's just say that the imitation calligraphy and painting works in the Republic of China were basically not worth much money at that time, but now, it is likely to be worth thousands of yuan. If the imitation is good, the price will be higher.

Of course, some shoddy fakes nowadays, even if they are left for a little longer, will not be worth much.

In the end, Ma Laocai told the old man, saying that his work by Zhao Mengfu was a particularly good imitation of ancient times, and its value was also very high. But compared to the real thing, it can't be compared.

When the old man heard that this was the case, he believed Ma Laocai's words a little, and the family was in a hurry to use the money, so he asked Ma Laocai how much he wanted to buy.

In the beginning. Ma Lao was obsessed with wealth and money, and came up with a particularly low price, which made the old man angry enough. Just put your things away and get ready to leave.

Ma Laocai saw how this could be. hurriedly used all his strength, pestering the old man to sell him things.

Ma Laocai's entangled kung fu is first-class. Under normal circumstances, there is always something to gain, but there are also people who don't eat his set, and this old man is like this, he doesn't listen to him at all, and insists on leaving.

In the end, Ma Laocai had no choice but to use the artifact of price increase, and finally increased it to 420,000 before the old man relented.

Spending so much money to buy things, Ma Laocai is also the first time, and he is somewhat unwilling to do this, but thinking that it won't be long before he can make a fortune, he can only suppress this unwillingness. After that, he immediately signed the agreement and went to the bank with the old man to transfer the money.

Ren Qiang was very excited when he saw that Ma Laocai really bought the things. He knew that Ma Laocai was very bad at the appraisal of calligraphy and painting, and the "Luo Shenbin" just now did look like it was written by Zhao Mengfu in terms of handwriting, but the tail was not written by Zhu Zhishan himself at all.

Therefore, he felt that the work must be a fake, and the reason was simple, and the tail was fake, could the thing be real? Come to think of it, no one would be so stupid and deliberately fake the authenticity, right?

Since the last time he was pried into his business by Ma Laocai, Ren Qiang has always felt very angry in his heart, and now that he has the opportunity to take revenge, how can he not be excited? As for how to take revenge, the method is also simple, as long as others know that what Ma Laocai has in his hand is a fake.

So, Ren Qiang immediately called his friends and acquaintances, he had a good personality and a wide range of friends, so there was not much time, and the Wucheng antique industry almost knew that Ma Laocai got a big block of Zhao Mengfu's "Luo Shenbin".

However, Ren Qiang is not stupid, and he did not say his conclusions, but just told everyone that he felt that the tail of this work was wrong, and as for the truth or falsehood, it depends on everyone's judgment.

Ma Laocai didn't know that he had won "Luo Shenbin", and when he transferred the account to the old man, he began to dream of getting rich.

Ma Laocai happily returned to his shop, thinking about how to maximize the benefits of this work, and after thinking about it, he still felt that it was best to go to the auction house, so he packed up his things and went to the capital overnight.

The next day, he took his things to the largest auction house in Beijing, and when the other party heard that it was Zhao Mengfu's big block "Luo Shenbin", he attached great importance to it, and hurriedly invited three experts in the calligraphy and painting circles in Beijing to come to appraise.

When the three experts saw the text, they couldn't help but exclaim, which made Ma Laocai very proud, but just when Ma Laocai was full of confidence, the experts gave him a slap in the face, saying that the tail was wrong, and the authenticity of this work was difficult to judge.

This result made Ma Laocai very dumbfounded, and his first reaction was that the experts were mistaken, so he asked again, and of course the experts gave the same answer.

This makes it difficult for Ma Laocai to accept, after all, this work, but it cost him 420,000 yuan to buy it, and he originally wanted to make a fortune, but in the end he sued him but it was a fake, for him who saw the money, how could he accept the loss of so much money?

So, just as the experts told Ma Laocai that the tail of this painting was wrong, it did not mean that this "Luo Shenbin" was a fake, and that it needed to be more carefully identified, Ma Laocai suddenly scolded the experts hysterically, and then picked up the things and left.

Seeing this situation, the experts could only smile wryly and shake their heads, speaking of Ma Laocai's "Luo Shen Bin", they felt that the possibility of authenticity was very high, but after all, it was Zhao Mengfu's work, and it was still quite famous "Luo Shen Bin".

As a result, I didn't expect Ma Laocai to have such a big reaction, which made the three experts very uncomfortable, and two of them left immediately.

The remaining expert felt that if a genuine painting was dusted, his heart would not be happy, so he wanted to contact Ma Laocai again, but the auction company did not ask for Ma Laocai's contact information because he was anxious, and in the end, the expert could only give up regretfully.

After Ma Laocai went back, the more he thought about it, the more unwilling he felt, so he made a decision that he regretted a lot and found someone to identify him.

The person Ma Laocai is looking for is a big figure among the calligraphy and painting appraisal experts in the Wucheng antique world, Zhu Lao.

This Zhu Lao is actually an antique shop that was opened around the same time as Ma Laocai. However, unlike Ma Laocai, this Zhu Lao was born in a professional class, and he used to be an expert in calligraphy and painting appraisal in Wucheng Museum, and later his son went abroad to study, and the family's money was a little insufficient, so he resigned and opened an antique shop.

Because of his high level and his extensive contacts in the museum, after the opening of Zhu Lao's antique shop, not only friends usually come to patronize, but even the museum staff will come to him to ask what good goods are available.

In addition, Zhu Lao is more atmospheric, even if the business is small, he will give others soup to drink, of course, this is on the premise of ensuring that he does not lose money. But even so, it is loved by the majority of sellers and buyers.

Zhu Lao is generous, regardless of small profits, who is willing to lie to him like a fool with such a good customer? Offend him? So basically no one sells him fake and inferior goods.

In this way, as Zhu Lao's fame gradually increased, many hawkers and shovelers were willing to contact him and sell their goods to him. Zhu Lao is also very happy because he dares to bid and does not care, and he is deeply loved by them.

For a while, everyone was proud of trading with Zhu Lao, some people bought things, and the bid was not good, and some people would use Zhu Lao as a shield.

"Zhu Lao has made a certain price, and you still offer such a price!"

When the buyer said this, he still squinted at the buyer and made a look of disdain. The buyer had no choice but to add money to him.

As Zhu Lao's fame grew, coupled with his good eyesight, the shop had only been open for three years, and he invited a shopkeeper and a master of the eye, only some particularly outstanding things, he would personally go out, usually drink tea in the teahouse opposite the antique shop, and live a very comfortable life.

In a life like Zhu Laocai, of course, Ma Laocai is also very yearning and jealous, and he can't wait to find an opportunity to pit it. However, Zhu Lao's status is higher than him, and he is much richer than him, if he really maliciously cheats Zhu Lao, then he won't want to mix in the antique market in Wucheng in the future.

Since it was decided to ask Zhu Lao to help with the identification, so the next morning, Ma Laocai went to Zhu Lao Zhu's antique shop to find someone, and the people in the store told him that Zhu Lao had gone to drink tea, so Ma Laocai hurried over again.

When he went to Zhu Lao's box, Ma Laocai found that Zhu Lao was drinking tea and chatting with several friends, all of whom were celebrities in the Wucheng antique industry without exception.

Seeing this situation, Ma Laocai was very depressed in his heart, he knew this, he shouldn't have come today, under the witness of so many people, if his things are really fakes, then can he still sell them in the future? (To be continued......)
