Chapter 41: Fake Paintings
That painting is real. I vouch for my status as a master connoisseur. Hu Zhou began to say loudly.
At this time, the reporters were desperately taking pictures of Hu Zhou, and the flash of the camera covered his whole body.
This way of making money is unique to Li Tang, and this trace is something that imitations can't do. Hu Zhou unfolded the "Fishing Hidden Map" in his hand and introduced.
'Yes. I am also a master of connoisseurship, and Master Hu Zhou and I can see Li Tang's font, which cannot be imitated. Ichiro Sato hurriedly said as well.
Hu Zhou saw the members of the New York Connoisseur Troupe standing next to the mahogany furniture, and hurriedly shouted, "Clyde, you are a master of connoisseurship in New York, you know Li Tang's handwriting, tell me if this painting is real." ’
Clyde was the leader of the New York Connoisseur Troupe, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I won't do any appraisal of your painting, nor will I show any proof. ’
Hu Zhou hurriedly shouted to another connoisseur, "Di Fu, you are also a master who has often identified Li Tang's handwriting, can you tell me about this painting, is it real?" Is this Li Tang's handwriting. ’
This Di Fu is not a team leader, he has never been a leader, and he has no city government when he speaks, so he said directly, "Your painting is fake, and the handwriting is Li Tang's handwriting, but it is just a very profound imitation." But what is fake is fake after all. ’
Fake. Defoe turned out to be a lie, impossible. Hu Zhou didn't believe it. 'Max, tell me that the Li Tang seal on this painting is real. ’
Max was also quick to speak, 'Hu Zhou, don't go around with fake paintings to force others to agree with you, this painting is fake, don't say it.' ’
Fake. Both master connoisseurs said it was a fake. The words of the master of connoisseurship are all the words of the people. It seems that this picture is really fake, and many reporters are saying in their hearts that this should be given to the editor-in-chief as soon as possible, and this news should be made public.
Many reporters write down or record this process and send it to their newspapers, TV stations, and websites. Soon the news came out, and after many days of controversy, the "Hidden Fisherman" finally came to fruition, and the two New York connoisseurs both said it was fake. It seems that this painting is a fake, and it can't be wrong.
After this news went out, many readers and viewers were puzzled, this Li Yibai said that he had clear evidence, but what about the evidence?
The reporters at the scene also asked questions. 'Mr. Li Yibai, you said before that you have clear evidence to prove that "The Hidden Fisherman" is fake, but where is your evidence? It wouldn't be the words of two New York connoisseurs. ’
Li Yibai said lightly, "Of course I have clear evidence, and the last piece of the auction today is the evidence." And this collection will break the highest starting price for the auction of ancient Chinese paintings. ’
Ichiro Sato and Hu Zhou couldn't stand it anymore and said in unison, 'Impossible. ’
Hu Zhou continued, 'Do you still have evidence? From ancient times to the present, the appreciation of antiquities has relied on the experience of connoisseurs, as well as other works of the author and the standards of appreciation of the past dynasties. I have never heard of it, and there is any evidence to prove the authenticity of the antiquities.
Even if you find Li Tang's other works, but a comparison, the inscription, handwriting, and seals will be the same, if you can't get a big difference, you can't overturn this "Fishing Hidden Picture" is fake. ’
Hu Zhou is very confident in his statement, and he is right. The reporters believed him again.
The reporters desperately took pictures of Hu Zhou.
Ichiro Sato swore again, 'If this painting is fake, I will burn him on the spot.' But if it is true, then the connoisseur group in New York was bought by Li Yibai with black money. And most of Li Yibai's collection is fake, so don't participate in his auction. ’
Many buyers at the scene also began to wonder, and what they said on both sides was very reasonable. I have participated in many auctions of Poly in the past, and I have never heard of a fake saying that it is the real thing. Is this Li Yibai telling a lie?
Ichiro Sato saw that the buyers and reporters at the scene were in confusion, and he was very proud that he finally moved back some prestige.
'Li Yibai, you keep saying that my paintings are fake. But he has never been able to come up with evidence, and he will only slander there, what kind of hero is he. ’
Li Yibai said lightly, "You interrupted my auction, and my last collection is evidence." The previous collection can't be photographed, how can I take out the last collection. ’
Ichiro Sato said angrily, 'You. You. You and Ben can't come up with evidence, and you just want to find this excuse to sell out these agarwood furniture, so you're here to fool everyone. ’
Li Yibai said lightly, "There are so many reporters and big buyers on the scene. If I lose my trust today, aren't I smashing my own brand? It's just that you are illegally interfering with our auction is a crime and unfair competition. I could have just had the security guard pull you out. But I don't want people to think I'm getting in the way. ’
What Li Yibai said is reasonable. Everyone in the room said, 'Let's let the auction go ahead.' We're all waiting to photograph the furniture. What are you doing all the time? ’
Ichiro Sato was afraid of provoking the public's anger, so he had to say, 'Okay. I'm waiting for you to unravel the last piece of the collection, but I'm going to see what the evidence is. ’
Soon, these agarwood furniture were sold out, because these agarwood are so good, they are scarce objects, and they are excellent to buy and collect.
Finally, it's the last piece of collectibles.
Li Yibai took out the "Seclusion Picture", and David said, "The "Seclusion Picture" by the Northern Song Dynasty painter Li Tang has a joint statement by Li Tang and Yang Shixian, stating that all the "Hidden Fishermen" on the market are fake. Because of the painting's heavy documentary value, the painting's price starts at $1ooo dollars. ’
Clyde, the leader of the New York Connoisseurs, said, "We at the New York Connoisseurs unanimously agree that this 'Seclusion Picture' is authentic, priceless, and has a very high documentary value, starting at $1ooo dollars, which is completely reasonable. Please feel free to bid. ’
After the painting was unfolded. The audience was stunned.
Yes. Buyers from all over the room.
Yes. All the reporters in the audience.
Yes. Hu Zhou.
Yes. Ichiro Sato.
The reporters desperately took pictures of this painting, the group of connoisseurs, Li Yibai, Allen and David.
Reporters are racing against time to send the news to their respective editorial offices, hoping that the news will be published in their own media as soon as possible.
Impossible. Impossible. How so. Could it be that all the knowledge and experience I have learned before are wrong? Hu Zhou was crazy with his hands clutching his head.
Ichiro Sato, seeing this, and accepting this as the truth, suddenly shouted, 'Slow. ’
Then the eyes of the crowd turned to him. 'Li Yibai, you said this painting is fake. I bought this painting from you in the first place. You're also selling fakes, you're also making false claims, how can you say that. ’
At this time, the reporters also aimed their cameras at Li Yibai.
Li Yibai said lightly, "That's right, you bought that painting from me." That's how it was. I don't know how to appreciate the collection myself. Our company's appreciation is in charge of David. At the time, he and several connoisseurs were able to identify the painting as genuine. No one has any doubts, including you, Ichiro Sato.
Later, after the painting was bought by you. David said that the painting was fake. I was taken aback. David said he had identified the painting as a fake, but he couldn't say it because Hu Zhou and many other connoisseurs had said it was real, and if he said it was fake, it would be self-defeating. Because the forgery of this painting is so high that it can only be distinguished with special connoisseurship techniques, and David has made a huge breakthrough in this regard. After he whispered to me, I thought I had to make it a secret.
This fake cannot be allowed to circulate in the market in the form of real goods, so ten days ago, we saw that the Duo Poly company made the news public when it was promoting this collection. But it was counterattacked by the multi-poly company. They insisted on their point of view, continued to promote the painting, and claimed that it must be true.
In the collectibles industry, auctioning off imitations is a normal thing. But when promoting, it is necessary to advertise it under the name of an imitation, which is not false propaganda.
In our company's auction, there was no publicity, and the connoisseurs and buyers agreed that the painting was genuine. Then it's true. Because no one objected. If someone objects in the middle, I will immediately remove it from the shelves and stop selling.
It's like, people thought the earth was square at first, and then science advanced, and people observed that the earth was round. If someone continues to claim that the earth is square. This man must be lying. And the people before were not lying.
We have long been against the fact that Duo Pauli should not falsely advertise this painting. However, Duo Poly simply turned a blind eye and did not put the interests of consumers first at all, but was just worried about whether its own interests would be damaged.
Actually, it has nothing to do with us how much Poly sold this painting, but I admired Wei's talent and attention to the interests of consumers, plus I encountered evidence. I was determined to stand up and explain that the painting was fake. The world of connoisseurship is dark, and an upright connoisseur like David needs protection and love. ’
After Li Yibai finished saying this, the audience burst into warm applause. The members of the New York Connoisseur Troupe also applauded, admiring Li Yibai's noble personality, and praised David, "David, you are already higher than us in some technical levels, and you are enough to assume the title of connoisseur." ’
The reporters also desperately took pictures of David and asked, 'David, tell us about the shady scenes in the connoisseurship world, we are very interested in this kind of news.' ’
David said lightly, "The connoisseurship world is a very unpopular circle. It is precisely this circle that is too small to be understood, so many shady scenes are not known. ’
David pointed at Hu Zhou and said, "Him." Hu Zhou. Long-time buyers tout him. At the same time, they collect black money, talk black, and specialize in hyping up some collections, turning fake ones into real ones. The newcomer can't even say a word against him, because then he will suppress you with the evaluation that you are not mature and unsuitable to be a connoisseur. In this industry, because of reputation and position, a large number of people say the same thing, and there is no right or wrong at all. ’
Hu Zhou sat on the ground angrily at this time, almost vomiting blood.
