Chapter 37: Imitation and Authenticity
Alan and David sprang into action immediately. Alan asked Anna to give invitations to the big customers to come to the company's press conference. At the same time, I found all the reporters I could find.
David immediately began writing about the fact that The Hidden Fish was a copy. At the same time, a large amount of favorable evidence was summarized, such as Li Tang's signature fonts are elegant, and this pen is a little sluggish. For example, the landscapes painted by Li Tang are all dark colors, and this one is light colored. Therefore, based on a lot of evidence, this "Hidden Fishery" is an imitation. It's simply not enough to generate a price above $1oo million.
Soon the article was posted in Jumbo magazine. David's article is completely contrary to the previous issue of Master Hu Zhou's article. Now the editors of "Jumbo" magazine are lively.
'David, this kid, is very bullish, and he even dares to challenge Master Hu Zhou. ’
'Isn't the newborn calf afraid of tigers?' Now that he's at the Field Auction House, it's understandable that he wants to make a little bit of fame. ’
But isn't he afraid that if his results are not recognized, his career will be over? ’
We don't care so much, we just watch the excitement, and his kind of articles are good for our magazine. It is to let them fight and have different opinions, so that our magazine will have content and sales will increase. Karen, get this article on board. Be in the headlines. ’
Multi-Poly corporate headquarters.
'Mr. Sato, no. That kid Alan sent someone to slander our company's collection. We will also hold a press conference tomorrow to say that our "Hidden Fishing Map" is fake. Yamamoto lowered his head after speaking.
'Baga. This yellow-haired boy dared to openly oppose me. Tomorrow we will go to their briefing to clarify with everyone and save our reputation. Tomorrow I will take Master Hu Zhou with me. Ichiro Sato said.
The next day. Li Yibai, Allen, and David were all on the rostrum of the press conference. There were also a few reporters at the scene, because a collection was said to be fake, which can be regarded as news. In addition to journalists, there are also buyer customers.
'Dear journalists, buyers, and poly companies, illegally hype up the price of the collection and harm the buyer. Master Hu Zhou, illegally collecting black money to help speculation is a shame in the auction world. Today, our company is holding a press conference to publicize their despicable behavior. At the same time, we also preview the grand auction of our company next month. Alan said into the microphone.
A reporter whispered, 'This is a fight between two auction companies.' However, if the collection is really fake. The connoisseur is really collecting black money for hype, which is also good news. ’
In the United States, false advertising and collecting black money to speculate on goods are very serious crimes. Any consumer can take that company out of business.
So this reporter said, this is still good news. Because this news can still attract the attention of collectibles consumers, and collectibles consumers are all upper-class people, it is of course good news to attract their attention.
David also introduced a professional introduction to the fact that "The Hidden Fisherman" is a fake. But these things are false, and as long as you want to say it's fake, you can always find a reason. For those who know the know, this is nonsense. To the uninitiated, this makes sense.
'Baga. Your field company is slandering and engaging in unfair competition. Ichiro Sato walked in with a group of people.
'What Baga. Little Japan comes home and says to your people. Alan even wanted to say a word that started with f to fight back at him.
'David, you hairy boy, who has only been in the connoisseurship industry for a few years, even dare to deny my doubts. Hu Zhou said with a big belly.
At this time, the reporters hurriedly took a few photos of Hu Zhou.
David was a little empty in his heart, and Li Yibai could see it from his face. But Li Yibai glared at him, "Don't be afraid, there are $1ooo dollars for being unemployed, and there are $1ooo dollars for this thing to do." ’
When David heard this, he immediately became confident. No matter how much he does, anyway, there is the boss Li Yibai in the back, I will do it, and I will have money to take it if I fail, what are you afraid of.
'You. Hu Zhou, relying on the old and selling the old, has been telling lies in the collecting world, saying that good things are bad in order to be able to buy them at a low price, and bad things are good in order to be able to sell them at a high price. Always collect black money to do things. I have been spending money to find someone to support you, and I have always claimed to be a master, and I have earned a lot of money, but the breeze of the entire collecting world has been defeated by you. And a little connoisseur like me has been suppressed by you, but you can't let me take the position, because you are afraid of endangering your position. Therefore, all the conclusions I have made about appreciation are rejected. And today I am going to make my conclusion public, and compare it with your conclusion, to prove that you have received black money and said black words. David said a lot in one breath that he had long wanted to say.
'You. What a guts. Hu Zhou took two steps forward. So many connoisseurs have identified this painting as genuine. And you also determined that it was true at the beginning. Today, it is reversed black and white and said that it is false. You're the one who took the money. Hu Zhou grabbed the handle of David before and bit back.
Faced with Hu Zhou's words, David was speechless for a moment and was very anxious. After all, David is young and has been engaged in technical work for a long time, and the debate is still weak.
That's because he was suppressed by you before, and those connoisseurs were also afraid of your words, so everyone agreed with you. Today David stood up bravely. Davy wants to prove that he is a true master connoisseur with his technical prowess, and your skills are simply not good. You are a false name to maintain by suppressing newcomers. Li Yibai said to David.
'Yes. Right. David kept nodding his head, and said in his heart, the boss is powerful, he speaks seamlessly, and he hits the nail on the head.
Hu Zhou was furious, 'You. It's up to him. His technical prowess, I need to suppress? In this way, everyone on the scene today will give a witness. We asked famous connoisseurs in New York to determine whether the painting is genuine. If I'm wrong. From now on, I will retire from connoisseurship. If he is wrong, I think, everyone will understand, and they will not need to listen to him anymore, because what he says is a lie. Neither can anything be auctioned at the Field Auction House. ’
The reporters desperately took pictures of Hu Zhou again. That's when a reporter from the New York Times came. They are aware of this news and feel important. This Hu Zhou is considered a celebrity, and there are people in the connoisseurship who want to challenge his status. Coupled with the fakes of famous paintings, these gimmicks are also quite suitable for the high-end style of the New York Times.
As soon as the New York Times came, the news became important, and more reporters from websites, newspapers, and television stations rushed here because it was a guessing news. Guessing news is engaging and able to arouse the interest of the audience. It's like the Zhou Tiger incident in China back then. Is that tiger photo real or fake? It always gives rise to countless debates, conjectures, and finally verification before the news is over.
Many reporters took pictures of Hu Zhou again.
Hu Zhou added, "I have appraised countless collectibles in my life, and I have never made a single mistake. This field company maliciously slandered me, and I will sue your company. ’
David said, 'But you're wrong. I'm not lying. You did take the money and tell a lie. ’
A group of reporters desperately took pictures of David again.
'Baga. Baga. Your Field Auction House is nothing more than a small auction house with only a few dozen people. He dared to wantonly slander our Poly Company and engage in unfair competition. I'm going to send a team of lawyers from our company to sue you until you go bankrupt. Ichiro Sato shouted.
The reporters desperately took pictures of Ichiro Sato again.
Li Yibai stood up and said, "However, we did not slander, we told the truth." You are false propaganda. You are the ones who engage in unfair competition. Come, tell us, and we will not be afraid. Not only will you not go bankrupt with our company, but you will also have to pay for the legal costs of losing the lawsuit. And there are consumers who will sue you on our behalf. ’
The reporters desperately took pictures of Li Yibai again.
Ichiro Sato walked up to Li Yibai, "You are the boss of Allen's company?" ’
Li Yibai said lightly, "Exactly." ’
Ichiro Sato said, "Your mysterious seller, I will find it soon." Then I pulled him to our company. You're going to play with the eggs right away. ’
Li Yibai said lightly, "Okay." You can go and pull him. ’
Ichiro Sato said to everyone again, "Please don't listen to the rumors of the field company, our company is honest and fair, protect the interests of customers, please participate in the company's auction on time on the 13th of next month." Thank you. ’
Li Yibai also stood up and said to everyone, "Please don't go to Duo Poly Company, most of the collections there are fakes, and what the connoisseurs say are all lies, and they will only be cheated there." At the same time, the company's auction next month will also be on the 13th, please come and attend on time. We will have a large number of Song Dynasty agarwood furniture and Li Tang, Yang Shixian's genuine masterpieces. ’
The reporters are excited, these two are in the big ring. Now it's exciting. The theme of this issue is whether the "Hidden Fishery" is real or fake. And on the 13th of next month, which of these two auctions will be more, to attract the audience's conjecture and discussion.
Sato Ichiro scolded Li Yibai again, "Baga, you spread rumors. Even if you are a small company, you dare to fight with me, how strong are the resources of my company in the collection industry, and how deep the foundation is, you can compare? I want to make sure that none of your company's collections are auctioned off, and that you end up buying your company. ’
Li Yibai said lightly, "Little Japan, this word is called bastard." Bastard. I'm waiting for you to see who can take over whose company later. ’
Sato Ichiro was furious when he heard Li Yibai's words, and he wanted to beat people. But he was soon stopped by the security guards of Li Yibai's company.
The people brought by Ichiro Sato didn't dare to fight here, so they grabbed him and went back.
