Chapter 078: Exposed
As soon as Qi Nanchen's voice stopped, suddenly the entire auction hall fell silent, and everyone looked at Qi Nanchen in surprise, so everyone's eyes fell on him at this moment.
Qi Nanchen was not afraid, but said: "This painting must be removed first, and then I will ask a senior appraiser to re-appraise it."
The meaning is obvious, and if you don't re-identify it, you don't believe that it's genuine.
As soon as Qi Nanchen finished speaking, the Fang family immediately came to scold him angrily.
This time it was Fang Wanhong's second sons Fang Wenrui and Fang Jingyi, Fang Jingyi came over to see the excitement, I didn't expect Qi Nanchen to say in public that his painting was a fake, after all, this painting was given to them by his grandfather, and it would definitely not be fake, unless Qi Nanchen deliberately couldn't get along with his own family this time.
Fang Wenrui pointed at Qi Nanchen and scolded: "This painting is genuine, it was bought by my father from abroad back then, and it has been stored in the Fang family all these years, and many people knew about it at that time." It was also identified before the auction, how could it be fake. Qi Nanchen, I advise you to be careful when you speak, you can't wronged our Fang family because you have a personal grudge with the Fang family recently, this time we took out this painting in the hope that people who like this painting more can collect and protect it! ”
Qi Nanchen was not angry but laughed back, "Is it true, why not let people identify it again, unless you don't dare!" ”
"How dare we!" Fang Wenrui shouted by pulling his neck, stimulated by Qi Nanchen.
Fang Jingyi clenched her hands and looked at Qi Nanchen almost angrily, because Gu Wan was sitting next to him, and she remembered that when she was in the Chu family, it was Gu Wan who exposed that the porcelain vase was fake. Qi Nanchen didn't know if this painting was real, and he hadn't seen this painting. Then it must be what Gu Wan said, seeing the two of them at this moment, she was so angry that she really wanted to pounce and beat someone.
Because of the dispute between the two parties, the organizer of the auction had to suspend the auction and invite a senior appraiser to come and appraise it. Because this is a painting worth tens of millions, and it is from a big family like the Fang family, it cannot be ignored.
Half an hour later, three of the city's most famous appraisers were brought in, and they began to examine the painting.
Ten minutes later, the three appraisers gave the same answer, the painting was indeed a fake!
Suddenly, the entire auction was in an uproar, and everyone was talking about the paintings provided by the Fang family that turned out to be fakes, and they dared to auction them with fakes, this time the Fang family's reputation was completely over.
Fang Jingyi saw that the painting was really a fake, and everyone was scolding and glaring at them, so Fang Wenrui said: "Second uncle, you can't drag it out any longer, just say that our painting is real, but I don't know how it turned fake when I got it at auction, call the police first, and let the police investigate the case."
After hearing this, Fang Wenrui felt that the painting his father gave him was definitely genuine, so it was definitely changed by someone stealing it before, so it was better to call the police first, so that it would be beneficial to the other party's family.
So he walked to the field and said: "Now there is an urgent matter to tell everyone, this painting is indeed a fake, the real thing has been stolen by someone, we have called the police, and we will definitely recover the real thing." After saying that, he apologized again and again.
And after listening to it, everyone also felt that it made sense, a big family like the Fang family would definitely not take a fake to pretend to be the real thing and put it up for auction, it must have been stolen by someone, but fortunately, Qi Nanchen found out.
Fang Jingyi didn't let them go, and suddenly asked, "Mr. Qi, you are not an appraiser, and you have never seen this painting before, why can you be sure that this painting is a fake?"
Qi Nanchen frowned, it was indeed not for him to see it, so he could only reply: "I have seen this painting before, and the one shown today is different from what I have seen before, so I think it is a fake."
Fang Jingyi said: "My grandfather has kept this painting for nearly twenty years and has never taken it out, when did you see it at Mr. Qi's age, or you knew that this painting was stolen before the auction!"
looked at Qi Nanchen aggressively, and did not miss the opportunity to question him.
Qi Nanchen didn't know what to answer this time, if the Fang family had kept it for nearly twenty years and had never shown it to others, then at his age, he really hadn't seen it.
Who knew that Gu Wan next to him said: "The Fang family has indeed kept this painting for nearly twenty years, and it is the real and the fake together." In fact, this fake is also collectible, because the original painter is Zhang Yan, and the fake is copied by his apprentice. The Fang family was originally a genuine and a fake to buy the collection together. Twenty years ago, Fang Wanhong, the old gentleman of the Fang family, once took out this painting and wanted to sell it to an overseas person, at that time, the person did not buy it because of insufficient funds in the business, and after he went back, he told people how the painting was, Mr. Qi Nanchen must have heard about it, so now he feels that the painting here is different from what he heard, so he will suspect that this painting is a fake, but he didn't expect it to be like this.
Today's auction of this painting, you are reluctant to take the real thing, but only take a copy of the auction, thinking that the god who did it is unaware, but it is still seen through by others, and you are advised not to call the police, because if you check and check, you will find that this fake is indeed provided by your family. If you don't believe it, go back and ask Mr. Fang, he must know about it. ”
"Impossible!" Fang Jingyi retorted excitedly, how could their family come up with a fake and put it up for auction, it's not discredited! Especially Gu Wan said with certainty that the fakes were also from their own family, and they were slandering their family at all. "I advise you not to talk nonsense, as for how this painting turned into a fake, our own police will help us investigate the case, don't worry about you!"
After speaking, the other party Wenrui said: "Second uncle, let's let the police investigate the case and return our family's innocence."
At this point, Fang Wenrui could only agree.
Soon the police came to the auction house, and all the auction organizers were seized and not allowed to go out.
Seeing this, Qi Nanchen left the auction hall with their brother and sister.
Although the police intervened in the investigation later, this time it still damaged the reputation of the Fang family, and because of Gu Wan's words, many people began to question whether the Fang family did take the fake to serve as a genuine auction, especially if I heard that the Fang family did also collect the fake of this painting, I heard that the fake was too similar to the real one, so it also had the meaning of collecting, and the Fang family collected it together.
Because of this incident, the Fang family was on the news again the next day, and even the fact that Fang Jingyi's father Fang Wenzhe had been arrested and imprisoned for murder was also reported......
Out of the auction, Qi Nanchen couldn't help but ask Gu Wan: "How do you know that the painting is fake, and you also know that the Fang family once had two such paintings, one is real and the other is a fake."
Gu Jingdong was also curious, "Yes, Wanwan, I remember that you have never seen this painting before!" "Tens of millions of paintings, in an ordinary family like theirs, really don't have the opportunity to come into contact with it.
