Chapter 573: The Truth
Zhuge Lanteng really didn't know what medicine these two people sold in gourd.
Su Zhe saw the confusion on Zhuge Lanteng's face, and smiled: "I won't be able to tell you clearly for a while, find a quiet place and talk to you in detail." ”
If it is a quiet place that will not be disturbed, it is best to go to Zhuge Lanten's house.
Compared to being outside, Su Zhe still agreed to go to the house. After all, he is now the target of many killer mercenaries, who knows if he will suddenly get a headshot while drinking tea outside.
Su Zhe went to Zhuge Lanteng's home for the first time, and he was not a close friend, and he generally did not choose to meet in a private residence. As the president of the Antiques Association, Zhuge Lanteng's home is furnished like an ancient family.
"The inner family went back to their hometown two days ago, and they will probably stay for a few days. Originally, I was going to go back, but I didn't go back because of this incident. Wait two days and then drive to pick it up. ”
It hasn't been the 15th Lantern Festival yet, and the visit to relatives is not over. People like Su Zhe almost don't have relatives, and men don't like to visit relatives very much. Women are different, if they have time, it is convenient to drive, and they are still willing to move around.
"Tell me what's going on?" Zhuge Ranteng couldn't wait to know what was going on.
Because of the Zhou family's affairs, the relationship between Su Zhe and Gao Gang is average. But looking at the two of them now, they talk and laugh, and they don't look like contradictory people at all.
Su Zhe looked up at Gao Gang and said, "Do you come here or do you say?"
"Come on, you're the screenwriter of this scene, so you can speak a little clearer. ”
"Then I'll tell you. ”
Su Zhe took a sip of tea and said, "In fact, this matter has always been a scene between me and Store Manager Gao. When it comes to the time of the show, it probably starts with Manager Gao's accusation against Guo Shitong. ”
A hint of surprise flashed across Zhuge Ranteng's face, but he didn't interject.
"Last year, it was about December, and Sotheby's didn't have an auction. At that time, Su Shi's "Nian Nujiao Chibi Nostalgia" was sold for more than 100 million, do you have any impression of this matter?"
Zhuge Lanteng nodded, it was impossible not to be impressed. After all, more than 100 million, this is a lot of money. And it is the authentic work of "Nian Nujiao Chibi Nostalgia", which caused a great sensation at the time.
Zhuge Lanteng didn't participate because he was busy with other things, and after the calligraphy was taken away, because the other party didn't reveal his name, he didn't know whose hand it was until now.
"At the time of the auction, I happened to come over here that day to catch up with the auction. Su Shi's generation of great writers, and I am of the same clan, and I have participated in the bidding for his authentic works. I shouted at the time that the sky was 100 million, and if someone hadn't made an offer at the last minute, the calligraphy would have been mine. ”
Speaking of this, Su Zhe didn't know whether to regret or rejoice. If the calligraphy is fake, the 100 million will be lost, and if it is true, it will be a rare treasure.
Everyone knows about the calligraphy auction, but Su Zhe really doesn't know whether he is involved in this Zhuge Lanteng.
"Actually, it's not surprising to fetch a high price of 1.2 billion, but something happened later, so I began to suspect that there was a counterfeiting gang operating in secret. ”
Speaking of this, Su Zhe drank another cup of tea.
"The guy who bid at the end of the day had a bit of a holiday with me, and he threatened a friend of mine with a knife afterwards, and he said something that I remember vividly. He said, 'You made me buy a fake piece of calligraphy, and now I'm not only losing my job, I'm in debt.' This time, it was all your conspiracy to deliberately lead me to jump. ’”
If it weren't for the fact that I think about it, I wouldn't have cared. But because of this sentence, I began to secretly investigate Guo Shitong and Peng Tianming. ”
"Peng Tianming?" Zhuge Lanteng frowned, this is the Taishan Beidou of the antique world, who doubts who will fake, should not be suspected of his head.
"Are you mistaken?"
Su Zhe sighed slightly: "I also hope that I am mistaken, but from the beginning to the present, all kinds of clues have pointed at the Peng family father and son. Someone helped me sort out the antiques that Sofubi has sold for more than 100 million in recent years, and almost every one of them is related to Peng Tianming. And I also checked, those that had an auction price of 100 million appeared almost once on the same day, and no one remembered it after that. ”
"Do you have an impression of "Yuetang Picture", a Tang Sancai in the Tang Dynasty, and "Wind Scroll Soft Water Map"? The bidding price of the three pieces was 100 million at that time, but now, who knows where?"
Zhuge Lanteng did have an impression of these, but if Su Zhe hadn't suddenly mentioned it, he would have really forgotten the auction items that had exceeded 100 million in recent years.
"But after these auction items are auctioned off, it is normal for outsiders not to know because the person who bought them does not disclose their names. This does not mean that the Peng family father and son were involved in the fraud. ”
"I really can't, so I can only join hands with Manager Gao to perform a play. ”
Zhuge Lanteng seemed to understand a little: "What do you mean, the matter of that vase is fake?
Gao Gang shook his head: "The vase thing is true. As for whether Guo Shiguan dropped the bag, this is unknown. ”
"At that time, Su Zhe came to me and told me to perform a play together. At the time, I didn't agree, but after he told him that this counterfeiting gang might really exist, I agreed to go crazy with him. ”
Su Zhe smiled slightly: "I guess many people wouldn't have thought that I would secretly join forces with Store Manager Gao." People from the outside world may think that because of the Zhou family's incident last time, as the son-in-law of the Zhou family, he will not have a good face for me. In fact, we have always been in contact, listening to Yuzhai today's achievements, store manager Gao is indispensable. ”
Gao Gang sighed and said: "The affairs of the Zhou family belong to internal contradictions, and this has nothing to do with Su Zhe. I'm not a person who doesn't understand things, who is right and who is wrong, and I have a measure in my heart. Zhihui's matter, I know that Zhiyan framed him. It's just that the evidence is against him at the moment, so we're still working on it. The most important thing is to find out Zhiyan, but he has not heard from him, and it is estimated that Zhihui will not escape this time. ”
Zhuge Lanteng's brows furrowed, this was the last news he wanted to hear. If Zhou Zhihui is really acquitted, he will make a comeback after clearing his grievances. At that time, not only the Cultural Affairs Bureau but also the Antiques Association will inevitably be on his side.
Gao Gang guessed what Zhuge Lanteng was thinking at the moment, and his tone was slightly mocking: "President Zhuge doesn't have to worry about your position being shaken, in fact, the Zhou family has suffered a lot of damage after such an incident. Even if Zhihui really comes out, he won't be a threat to you. And the antique association in your leadership, the achievements are obvious to all. ”
Speaking of this, the atmosphere suddenly seemed a little awkward.
Su Zhe brought the topic back and got back to business.
"Because it is not certain whether the father and son of the Peng family secretly cheated with Guo Shiguan. I was looking for store manager Gao at the time, but I just told him about the benefits. Unexpectedly, he said that he took a vase from Sofubi a while ago, and later found out that it was a fake. So I took advantage of this opportunity to ask him to deliberately reveal it to the media and make the matter bigger. ”
Su Zhe leaned back and put on a large font: "It may not be easy to catch a snake by scaring the snake, but the snake has not appeared, so you might as well make some movements to make it panic." Perhaps, if it stays in the hole and panics, it will jump out of the bubble. Facts have proved that this scene is still worth it. ”
Zhuge Lanteng groaned: "Then what's going on with the jade pendant today?"
Su Zhe smiled: "This is simpler, in fact, you have seen that piece of jade pendant Zhuge before." ”
"Seen?"
After a pause, Zhuge Lanteng suddenly realized: "That jade pendant is yours? No wonder I saw it so familiar at the time, but you showed me four photos, and I didn't know that you were so tall, so I didn't think about it at all--but the two jade pendants you asked me to see before were not real, why do you say they are fake?"
Su Zhe didn't rush to answer, but took out a jade pendant from his body and put it on the table, and asked, "Do you see if this jade pendant is different from the one in the auction hall before?"
Gao Gang picked it up and looked at it, and then handed it to Zhuge Lanteng, and the last two shook their heads. This one is almost the same as the one in the auction house, and if you look closely, the color is a little different. In other aspects, put it in the hands of a layman, I thought it was the same piece.
"Do you think it's real or fake?"
If it was before the auction, both would have answered yes and yes. But after what happened just now, neither of them dared to say anything.
Su Zhe sighed: "Actually, this piece is also fake. ”
Zhuge Lanteng said: "It shouldn't be, I saw these two pieces last time, and they were authentic at that time." ”
"Actually, I always thought it was true, but a few days ago, I found out that the two black dots were Arabic numerals, and I denied the previous identification results. ”
Gao Gang interjected: "Two Arabic numerals can't represent anything, maybe the jade pendant is real, and the Arabic numerals are added by later generations." ”
"I had guessed this possibility before, but then I used advanced instruments to identify and reject it. ”
Su Zhe picked up the jade pendant and continued, "We know that ancient things will be more or less stained with some ancient aura on their bodies until now. We can't see this with the naked eye, and we can't smell it. But put it in some special gas meters, such as machines that can check the natural qi of heaven and earth. I won't be able to explain this for a while, but this is only with my master. ”
Both Gao Gang and Zhuge Lanteng knew that Su Zhe's master was the famous qigong master Zeng Guoan, although Su Zhe never mentioned this.
"In the monitoring of the instrument, I compared the real antiques to the jade pendant. A real antique, with an ancient aura contaminated with it, will maintain a balanced value on the instrument. And the fake one, it will become very unstable. There are even some that are not available at all, and this is the case with this jade pendant. ”
If he hadn't suddenly discovered this that day, he would have gone to find the master, but he didn't know that the ancient qi could also be faked.
