Chapter 298: Distinguishing the Authentic from the False

Cui Mubai is a well-known master of antiques and the former director of the Beijing Museum, who has a deep study of all kinds of antiques. For more up-to-date chapters, visit: ะจะฉะฉ.(7)(9)XS.ัะžะœ.

In the antique world, Cui Mubai is the absolute Taishan Beidou, and is even called the "God of Antiques" by insiders.

As long as an antique cultural toy has passed Cui Mubai's affirmation, it is incomparable to no matter how many appraisal certificates there are.

It can even use Cui Mubai's comments to increase the value of antique cultural toys.

Although many powerful people present regretted and whispered that they should bring antiques with them, they understood a truth better, how could they have the strength to invite the "God of Antiques" to take action for themselves.

In fact, even the little 'jade' didn't want to bother Mr. Cui Mubai too much.

Otherwise, when the 15 treasures of the auction union are brought to the Seagull Cruise ship, Cui Mubai will be asked to check them.

If it weren't for the fact that there was a major incident related to fakes, Xiao 'Yu' wouldn't want to trouble Mr. Cui Mubai.

At this time, Cui Mubai 'touched' the "Hundred Shrimp Picture" on the table, as if his throat was a little dry, and looked at Zhang Xingxing along everyone's eyes, his eyes were full of unbelievable 'color'.

"Is it you, the painting of "Hundred Shrimps"?" Cui Mubai said in a trembling voice.

Seeing that it was such an old man, Zhang Xingxing hurriedly replied, "Yes." โ€

"It's rare! It's rare!" Cui Mubai sighed loudly, and looked at Zhang Xingxing's gaze again, full of joy.

"If Qi Lao is still alive now, then he will definitely be very pleased. Cui Mubai's face was full of smiles.

"At that time, because I had achieved something, I gradually inflated myself and became 'confused'. โ€

"Fortunately, I met Qi Lao at that time, followed Qi Lao, watched him focus on painting shrimp every day, and continued to struggle for the things I loved, which made me find myself again. โ€

Cui Mubai slowly closed his eyes, as if he had returned to that quiet and beautiful era.

"I remember that Qi Lao often said that the biggest hobby in this life is shrimp, and all the details and demeanor of shrimp are put on paper with a paintbrush. It's a pity that the only regret is that he has not been able to find someone who can inherit his mantle of shrimp painting. โ€

Speaking of this, Cui Mubai opened his eyes again, stared at Zhang Xingxing, and said: "However, I didn't expect that today, decades later, I have been touched." โ€

"When Qi Lao painted "Hundred Shrimps", I was next to me, so I was extremely impressed. Of course, at that time, it was called "The Dragons Entering the Sea". โ€

If it weren't for the difference between paper and ink, I could almost conclude that this was painted by Mr. Qi Baishi. โ€

Quiet!

The entire seagull cruise ship suddenly fell into a death-like silence, and the magnates present opened their mouths wide and looked at the "Hundred Shrimp Picture" on the table, with colorful ripples in their eyes.

Originally, they only thought that the "Hundred Shrimp Picture" on the table was really good. However, they did not expect that it would be so good.

According to Cui Mubai's meaning, that is, the author of this painting, except that he is not famous for the time being, the painting work and detail processing are completely at the level of Master Qi Baishi.

If an ordinary person were to say such a thing, it would not have much credibility.

But when Cui Mubai, the "god of antiques", said it, the weight was completely different.

They know that although this young man is not famous for the time being, he already has this kind of "painting shrimp" strength, and he is better than young, and there are infinite possibilities in the future.

Thinking of this, everyone looked at Zhang Xingxing, and "Hundred Shrimp Pictures" became even more eager.

Surely, Zhang Xingxing will be another famous painter in the future, and the value of this "Hundred Shrimp Picture" may be a sky-high price.

Zhang Xingxing listened to Cui Mubai's words, but he didn't react much, after all, he already had "Qi Baishi's experience in painting shrimp". Like what Qi Baishi painted, that's normal.

However, Chang Kui on the side was not so calm, his mouth wide open, his eyes wide.

When Zhang Xingxing said: "It only takes ten minutes to draw "Hundred Shrimps", Chang Kui was ready to be kicked out of the auction house in Longfeng Villa.

But what is the situation now? When can Zhang Xingxing paint "shrimp" so well? And can he compare it to Master Qi Baishi?

Compared with the surprised and eager eyes of everyone at the scene, Fang Huailiang was even more uneasy in his heart.

"Mr. Cui, please take a look at the authenticity of another "Hundred Shrimp Picture". Little 'Jade' said softly.

"Okay!" Cui Mubai nodded.

Soon, the magnates present respectfully made way for Cui Mubai.

Cui Mubai is too old, he walks with a limp and a very slow speed, but no one dares to be dissatisfied.

After about two minutes, Cui Mubai walked to the stage, his eyes swept over the 15 treasures one by one, and finally landed on No. 7 "Hundred Shrimp Map".

At this time, the eyes of all the people on the entire seagull steamship also followed Cui Mubai on the "Hundred Shrimp Picture".

Half-ringing, Cui Mubai opened his mouth, "This painting has a well-defined outline, a clear order, and a combination of movement and static......"

Hearing this, An Huailiang under the stage couldn't help but 'reveal' a touch of "excited" "color", because Cui Mubai was completely praising his "Hundred Shrimp Picture"!

However, the next moment, An Huailiang opened his mouth wide and stayed in place.

However, this "Hundred Shrimp Picture" does not have the unique god of shrimp! It is not painted by Mr. Qi Baishi, it is a fake. Cui Mubai said lightly.

"Wow!"

The entire seagull cruise ship suddenly resounded with a 'fierce' discussion. Many people looked at An Huailiang's gaze, and a hint of boredom flashed as if it were nothing.

"No......! It can't be a fake!" An Huailiang suddenly shouted.

Everyone on the Seagull Cruise ship, like a clown, focused their eyes on An Huailiang.

An Huailiang knows very well how much impact it will have if his own auction house is accused of being a fake in front of so many people.

An Huailiang looked at everyone's gaze, his forehead was instantly covered with a layer of fine sweat, gritted his teeth and continued: "Our An family's "Hundred Shrimp Map" has a provincial appraisal certificate, it is definitely not fake!"

The corners of the mouths of the dignitaries present twitched slightly, as if to say: Provincial certificate?

For the magnates present, let alone the provincial level, it is a national appraisal certificate, so what?

It's okay to deceive outsiders by identifying certificates or something, but for them, it's just a piece of waste paper.

An Huailiang also seemed to feel that there was something wrong with his words, and hurriedly said: "Even so, you can't just say that our Anjia's "Hundred Shrimp Pictures" is a fake!"

An Huailiang is relied upon.
