Chapter 625: Achilles' heel
In recent years, the economy has gone up, and the pockets of the Chinese have bulged, so they have begun to talk about upbringing. Cang Liao knows etiquette, food and clothing are enough to know honor and disgrace, the ancients have long revealed this truth. But the strange thing is that Chinese children a few decades ago were quite knowledgeable about etiquette, but in recent years, there are more and more bear children.
Life is good, the wallet is bulging, but the upbringing has not gone up, so there are all kinds of scandals of Chinese tourists abroad. In China, you don't need to say anything to understand what the situation is. Today's bear children are reluctant to be managed by parents, and teachers dare not take care of them, and they are simply lawless. Nowadays, when a bear child makes a mistake or gets into trouble, the most common excuse for those parents is "the child is still young, it's okay!", but they are not willing to discipline, and one day someone will teach him a hard lesson for you.
Chinese-style education, believing in "filial piety under the stick", although it is scoffed by many people now, but China has practiced it for so many years, and it has never seen where China has fallen. On the contrary, in some Western countries, shooting cases are emerging one after another, and the psychological problems are more serious than the other, which is even more terrifying.
Children can't indulge from an early age, because no matter how young a child is, he always has to grow up. If parents don't teach their children some manners and rules now, because children are indulgent when they are young, and they still expect forgiveness from everyone when they make mistakes. Then, when one day he walks out of school and goes out into society, and does some bear behavior, no one will be more tolerant of him, and then the child will not be able to stand it, because no one will follow him like that anymore. Your child, if you don't educate him, there will always be someone who will educate him instead of you. After all, this world is very cruel, especially in the commercial society, where people are like water, and people go to tea and cool.
It's a pity that Gao Haikang doesn't understand this, so Tang Chen's eyes looking at Gao Haikang are not ridiculous, nor sad, but pity, but pity.
If you want to talk about Gao Haikang, he didn't cheat, he didn't bully the market, and he didn't do anything illegal, so it stands to reason that he should be pretty good. But his character is destined to be unpleasant, too selfish, too narcissistic, too arrogant, and simply unbelievable. And this has become his fatal weakness.
"Ahem, nephew, you said that this painting was bought by Xiao Tang for a thousand yuan?" Zhou Yunheng coughed twice, pulling the embarrassing atmosphere back.
When Tang Chen heard that he called himself Xiao Tang, he was stunned at first, and then ecstatic in his heart. Glancing at Zhou Xuanying, he also saw the joy in the eyes of the beauty, and suddenly felt that Gao Haikang was just an inconsequential little problem. As long as the hearts of the two are together, no one can be separated.
Mother Zhou, who knew her husband's intentions, sighed in her heart when she saw her daughter's intimate actions with Tang Chen, but she was not disappointed, because she had long expected this to be the case, and at this moment, it was just Zhou Yunheng who picked it out himself.
Gao Haikang was at a loss, and still insisted: "He's a poor ghost, how much money can he pay to buy antiques, he must have been deceived, and then he wants to deceive you again, Uncle Zhou Shi!"
Listening to Gao Haikang's "heartfelt words", Zhou Yunheng smiled: "You Uncle Zhou Shi and I don't have any skills, and I can ask myself about the appraisal of ancient paintings." The painting that Xiao Tang gave me is indeed the authentic work of Fu Baoshi, worth tens of millions of ......"
"No...... It's impossible, it's impossible!!" Gao Haikang was stunned for a moment, and then shouted loudly, the sound almost piercing the roof.
Zhou Yunheng said neatly: "There is nothing impossible, the jewel is covered with dust, fortunately it can be wiped by people of insight to see the light of day again, there are many things to do, you don't have to be like this." In the end, he is an elegant person, and he talks about "picking up leaks" so elegantly.
But no matter how elegant he was, in Gao Haikang's ears, it was as uncomfortable as being pricked by a needle: "I don't believe it! This painting of mine is much more powerful than his! Uncle Zhou Shi, if you can accept him, why can't you accept mine?!"
Facing the roaring Gao Haikang, Zhou Yunheng shook his head secretly. When encountering a small setback, he lost his square inch so much, how could such a person take over the Hongfu Group? When Gao Haikang and his father grow old, the days of the Hongfu Group can be imagined. Zhou Yunheng is glad that he made the right decision, if Zhou Xuanying marries Gao Haikang, maybe he will bring down the Daguan Group, which is the last thing Zhou Yunheng can see. Although Tang Chen didn't have any great skills, in Zhou Yunheng's eyes, he actually became an advantage. The Zhou family is rich, as long as the loser is not so powerful, he can still squander it for a few years. This is the abacus in Zhou Yunheng's heart, I'm afraid even his pillow person can't think of it.
It only took a few seconds for Zhou Yunheng to decide on this matter, and then he spoke: "Nephew, to be honest, your painting is really good, but ...... Something is wrong. Look here, the brushwork is not coherent, and a puddle of black ink is deliberately smeared, who knows that it is self-defeating. In all fairness, this painting is good, but only the top half is good, and it is also the place with the most blank space, which is indeed the real work of Gozen.
But the second half was not painted by Gao Cen himself. If you find a framer and ask him to disassemble and reframe it, you will know that the painting was completed by someone else, the top half is real, and the bottom half is broken and lost for some reason, so it was made into a painting by a skilled craftsman using framing techniques. It seems that it should be the end of the Qing Dynasty. If it is Gao Cen's authentic work, it can naturally be compared with Fu Baoshi's authentic work, and the value is comparable. It's a pity that your painting is mutilated, only half of it is real, and it is worth hundreds of thousands at most.
As for why you don't accept your paintings, I think you should understand. You are my nephew, and Xiao Tang is my daughter's boyfriend, this relationship is intimate, forgive me for not having the cheekiness, I can be thick enough to accept your heavy gift......" Zhou Yunheng knew that Gao Haikang must have spent a lot of money to buy this painting, so he used the word "heavy gift".
Unexpectedly, listening to Gao Haikang's ears, it became the biggest mockery: "I don't believe it, I don't believe it!"
Zhou Xuanying said with a smile: "Do you remember Master Meng? He is very famous in the industry, and he has to charge money for appraisal for others, with a minimum commission of 3%, but he confiscated your money because he was blind, so he is embarrassed to accept your money, which can be regarded as an indirect reminder to you." But what about you, you still think that people are voluntary labor, and you probably didn't even say thank you, right?"
Gao Haikang was stunned for a moment, and said angrily: "Even he, an old boy, dares to lie to me!"
"People didn't lie to you, it's just that you don't understand the rules of the industry. Zhou Yunheng said lightly, "I also know Master Meng, he helps people look at paintings, and he will definitely say the price first, and he won't take a penny for fake paintings." You didn't even pay the money, and they only fulfilled the obligation to remind. I guess if it weren't for him, you'd have lost a lot more, right?"
