Chapter 340: Two thousand times the gain
The speaker was an old man in Tang costume, about fifty or sixty years old, not tall or short, lean but not pressing, looking quite a bit of the graceful temperament of ancient Confucian scholars.
It's just that the old man's face at this time seems to be a little strange.
His gaze was firmly fixed on the "fake" in Chu Shangze's hand.
"Donald!"
As soon as Chen Mengze saw the person who came, he immediately greeted him.
This old man is a well-known boss in their S Province and even in the entire Chinese antique industry.
But why would he be interested in this fake?
Chen Mengze put a big question mark in his heart.
"It turned out to be Xiao Chen. ”
The old man in Tang costume didn't seem to want to talk more, he just nodded towards Chen Mengze and withdrew his gaze, and continued to look at Chu Shangze.
The corners of Chen Mengze's mouth twitched.
But in front of Donald, he didn't dare to be disrespectful in the slightest.
Chu Shangze looked at the old man in Tang costume, and did not think of himself as high, but handed over the painting in his hand generously.
The old man in Tang costume immediately took it and thanked him, and then looked at it carefully.
"Donald, isn't this painting old?
Chen Mengze also leaned over and took a closer look at the painting, and was sure that it was a fake, so he couldn't help but ask out loud.
However, Donald did not reply to him immediately, but looked around, as if he was looking for something, but he didn't find it.
I had to look at Chen Mengze and said, "Xiao Chen, help me get a glass of water." ”
"......" Chen Mengze twitched the corner of his eyes.
It's just a matter of not answering your own questions, and you still let him do things??
He turned his head and looked at his subordinates who were watching the play with an expressionless face, "What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and get water for Donald." ”
The middle-aged man was excited, so he had to hurry to serve the water, and according to Donald's instructions, the water temperature was moderate.
And he saw that the water was brought up.
Everyone stared at Donald intently.
Not sure what he's going to do.
Donald asked for water not because he was thirsty and wanted to drink it, he tapped some boiled water with his index finger, then moistened his index finger and thumb, and then gently rubbed it in the corner of the album.
Pei Chai Chai and the laymen were full of surprise, and they didn't know what Tang Lao was going to do.
"Picture-in-picture?"
But Chen Mengze understood at once, but his face was a little ugly.
Picture-in-picture is the process of making an old or not very good painting and the real thing with a special potion to make it look like a very ordinary painting on the surface, in order to disguise the authenticity.
This was a perfectly normal thing a few decades ago.
After all, many treasures were burned at that time.
So there are a lot of favorites who have to do this in order to be able to keep these efforts.
Chen Mengze's face was ugly, and he was ugly in this place.
If it's really a picture-in-picture, then he's a shame.
At the beginning, he was sure that this painting was a fake, and he still can't forget the eloquent expression on his face.
Chen Mengze secretly turned his head and glanced at Chu Shangze.
Eyes full of scrutiny - is this guy pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, or is he really unaware?
On his side, the middle-aged appraiser was a little uneasy.
With his ability, he naturally can't be compared with Donald.
But he was extremely hopeful at this moment, and Donald looked away.
Otherwise, Yi Chen Mengze's temper, he let Chen Mengze lose so much, Chen Mengze will definitely open himself.
This is his golden job!
The complexion of Chen Mengze and the middle-aged appraiser was different from that of Pei Chai and the others.
For picture-in-picture, they've heard of it too.
However, it is only at the level of what I have heard of, and as for the opportunity to see it with my own eyes, I really haven't seen it before.
Seeing the appearance of this old man in Tang costume now, I can't help but be a little excited.
Everyone's eyes stayed on Donald's fingers.
Well?
There seems to be a corner faintly warped, and the angle is getting bigger and bigger......
Everyone's pupils shrank slightly.
Immediately afterwards, I saw Donald gently peel it off, and suddenly the portrait of the sluggish character on the surface was revealed, and there was a landscape painting hidden inside.
On the spot, I was completely attracted by the agility in the painting.
White clouds and distant mountains, ethereal and ethereal.
Even Pei Chai and other laymen also saw at a glance that this painting was unusual.
"This is the "Nine Peaks Snow Ji Map"! Huang Gongwang's "Nine Peaks Snow Ji Map"!"
The moment the middle-aged appraiser saw the drawing, he excitedly said "Nine Peaks Snow Ji Map" twice in a row.
However, the next moment, Chen Mengze suddenly turned his head and glared at him coldly, which immediately made the latter feel cold, and immediately did not dare to speak again.
"It's incredible, I was lucky enough to see Huang Gongwang's true handiwork!" said Donald in amazement.
"Old Tang, Huang Gongwang's "Nine Peaks Snow Ji Map" should only have one authentic painting in this world, right?" Chen Mengze suddenly frowned and asked aloud.
"Nonsense, of course there is only one "Nine Peaks Snow Ji Map", which is a big treasure comparable to a national treasure. Donald scolded.
"But as far as I know, there is also a picture of the Nine Peaks Snow Ji in the Beijing Museum," Chen Mengze asked busily.
Tang Lao was silent for a moment, slowly shook his head and said, "The one in the Beijing Museum is fake. When the war was raging, someone secretly dropped the bag, but not many people knew about it, but fortunately, now the real work is in the world, this is the arrangement of fate. ”
After speaking, ignoring Chen Mengze, who was pale, Donald turned around, looked at Chu Shangze very solemnly and said: "I have been seeking this painting for many years, and I can finally see it today, and I am also grateful for Xiaoyou's fulfillment, but I have a reluctant request to ask Xiaoyou to fulfill." ”
"Speak. Chu Shangze's tone was very easy-going.
Seeing this, Tang Lao was a little embarrassed, paused, and arched his hand towards Chu Shangze and said: "I don't know if Xiaoyou can cut his love and sell this painting to me?" Don't worry, I will never take advantage of you, this painting is worth less than 10 million, I will give you 12 million, and I hope Xiaoyou will complete it." ”
As soon as these words came out, the entire hall fell completely silent.
Whether it was Pei Chaichai, Bai Zijing, Xiaoqiu, or Chen Mengyun, Su Qiao, and Chen Mengze, everyone looked at Chu Shangze.
Twelve million??
That's more than 2,000 times the profit!!
You know, how Chu Shangze got this painting before - because he sympathized with an old lady, he spent 5,000 yuan to buy it.
But in the blink of an eye, the price of 12 million was offered??
Is this what good is rewarded??
Chen Mengze's face flickered brightly and darkened, and he stared at Chu Shangze tightly.
His eyes were full of pity.
If he had been one step ahead, the twelve million would have been his!
That's 12 million, enough to cover the income of his cultural toy store for several years!
Chu Shangze shook his head when he heard this.
Everyone's faces changed.
Did he refuse?
He actually refused such a good thing?
