"What's the matter, Brother Huang, was chased by a dog? But I didn't see a dog behind you! Li Qiming looked outside the courtyard gate, and on the empty road, there were only a few pedestrians in a hurry, each looking at each other and burying his head in walking, and no one looked at this side.

"Close the door!" Huang Youcai ran to Li Qiming and said breathlessly, "There is a big matter, we have to discuss it carefully." What about Qian Yongqiang and Master Wang? ”

"Brother Wang is practicing calligraphy in the room. He said that in order to identify the authenticity of the painting, he must master some basic writing skills; Master was reading a book in his room. ”

Li Qiming asked casually while wiping the car, "What happened, look at you in a hurry!" ”

"This matter is related to calligraphy and painting, and it is related to the future of all of us! Time is tight, don't wipe it, call Master Wang up, and have a meeting in Qian Yongqiang's room! Huang Youcai pulled Li Qiming and left.

"Master Wang, don't write it, hurry down. Huang Youcai is crazy! ”

"You're crazy!" Huang Youcai dragged Li Qiming and walked towards Qian Yongqiang's room, "If it weren't for the urgency of today's matter, I would have to beat you!" ”

"What the hell is going on? Can you tell me about it first? Li Qiming shrank his neck, stuck out his tongue, and asked.

"Let's talk together!"

Li Qiming looked at Huang Youcai and shook his head helplessly.

"Brother Wang, you go quickly, let's go to Qian Yongqiang's room to talk about things!" Huang Youcai shouted at Wang Ziren upstairs.

"If you're nervous all day long, can't you stop for a while?" The prince muttered and walked down the stairs unhurriedly.

Everyone gathered in Qian Yongqiang's room, and everyone found a place to sit down and wait for Huang Youcai to say something.

Huang Youcai glanced at the courtyard gate uneasily. Asked Li Qiming: "Is the door closed?" ”

"It's off, and it's plugged in. No one will come in. Tell me what you want, everyone is busy! ”

"Xiao Li, a worker in Boss Gao's family, you all know about it, right?" Huang Youcai wiped the sweat from his head, raised his neck and drank a large glass of water before he began to talk about things.

"Humph!" Hearing Huang Youcai talk about Xiao Li, Li Qiming snorted in his nostrils, and he still had a grudge about what happened last time.

"Is that the stupid worker? I was called by Boss Gao every day, like a third grandson! After Wang Ziren entered the industry, he also followed Qian Yongqiang and them to the acquisition station of the high boss of Qingshi Village several times, and was very impressed by the worker Xiao Li.

"Master Wang, don't look at Xiao Li's stupidity on the surface, in fact, they are all pretending, this person is very shrewd, and the hearts and eyes of the three high bosses together are not worth one of him." Huang Youcai often deals with Xiao Li and knows his roots well.

Wang Ziren said disdainfully: "You can forget it." What is he? I don't get angry under the hands of Boss Gao every day, I bow my head and waist, and I don't dare to breathe! ”

"Being able to stand it shows that he can endure it, and the city is deep. Don't look at Boss Gao as a big boss, he works part-time, but he makes no less money than Boss Gao! ”

"Not necessarily, right?" Wang Ziren shook his head, still skeptical.

"No matter how much you earn, it's not interesting to be beaten and scolded by Gao's surname every day like a pug!" Li Qiming said, "Brother Huang, you won't bring everyone here to discuss going to work for Boss Gao, right?" If you want to go, I won't go! ”

"Bah, do you work for him? I'm not that cheap yet! Huang Youcai said, "Gathering everyone here today is a big deal, let's discuss whether we can do it!" ”

"What a big deal, you hurry up?" Qian Yongqiang was a little impatient at this time, "You were on fire just now, will you calm down?" ”

"Don't worry, everyone, listen to me tell me the ins and outs of this matter slowly."

"Hey, he's dragged it on."

"Wen Zhengming, everyone knows, right?" Huang Youcai asked mysteriously.

"I know, it's in the history of painting with Shen Zhou, Tang Yin and who together are called the Ming Four!" It seems that in the past year in the industry, Wang Ziren has put a lot of effort into calligraphy and painting.

"Qiu Ying." Qian Yongqiang said lightly.

"Yes, Qiu Ying, look at my brain!" Wang Ziren patted his brain case and smiled. "When you're older, you just don't have a good memory as you young people!"

Since that "piece of red" brought him great wealth, Wang Ziren began to study stamps, what stamps are worth and what stamps are not, written on paper, rote memory every day, to the point of obsession;

Recently, I saw that calligraphy and painting come quickly, and I began to study calligraphy and painting again, from ancient times to the present, all calligraphers and painters who can sell for money have their names and font sizes memorized with their hearts. No, in order to be coarse and ink, I actually bought paper and pencil and practiced diligently all day long.

Huang Youcai saw the world and joked that he was an old money fan. Wang Ziren disagreed, because he tasted the pleasure of making a lot of money.

"Time is tight, I'll pick up the key points." Huang Youcai said solemnly, "Xiao Li has a painting of Wen Zhengming in his hand!" ”

"Really?" Li Qiming's eyes widened.

"I think it's real. The paper is black, and in some places it is brittle! Huang Youcai said.

"It won't be someone else who joins Xiao Li to set you up, right?" Li Qiming said disbelievingly, "Wen Zhengming's paintings are very old, and it is difficult to preserve them among the people, and the probability of appearing at the acquisition station is very small!" ”

Qian Yongqiang nodded, Li Qiming's worries were not unreasonable. The owners or workers of the buying station will often set up tricks for them to drill with some illegal calligraphy and painting dealers.

Unscrupulous calligraphy and painting dealers will take out some imitation calligraphy and paintings and give them to the owners or workers of the buying station, instructing them to say, "This is just picked up", so that those who go to the purchasing station to buy goods will be deceived.

"Impossible! This painting is what I saw Xiao Li pick up from a pile of waste paper! I was right next to me! Huang Youcai said firmly, "And the truck has just arrived, and no one has touched it!" ”

"What age is that pile of waste paper?" Qian Yongqiang is very calm, he wants to know the surrounding environment when the painting appeared, which helps to determine the authenticity of things.

"Xiao Li picked up this painting from a pile of yellowed old papers!"

"Have you looked at that pile of old papers? Maybe it's worth a lot of money! Qian Yongqiang asked.

"At that time, the attention was on that painting, and the rest was not very concerned!" Huang Youcai said with great regret, "I should buy that pile of old paper back in the afternoon, maybe I can make a small fortune!" ”

"It's not a small fortune! If that painting is old enough, the old paper with it should also be old, maybe it can be worth a lot of money! ”

"Amateur, too amateur!" Li Qiming pointed at Huang Youcai, hating iron and regretting it.

"Don't talk about me." Huang Youcai pointed at Li Qiming and smiled, "Everyone is qualified to say me, you don't!" You know why? ”

"Why? Have you made a mistake that you don't allow others to point out? Li Qiming said this for your own good! Besides, you can put the money you earn into Li Qiming's pocket? ”

Wang Ziren sometimes can't get used to Huang Youcai squeezing Li Qiming, and from time to time he will stand up for him.

"The things he collected with the violin back then, if he can keep them, maybe they are worth more than your 'piece of red'!"

At the mention of the violin, Qian Yongqiang's face became ugly.

Li Qiming hurriedly diverted the topic: "Have you dealt with that pile of old paper?" ”

At that time, it was loaded, and it was estimated that it had already arrived at the paper mill。。。。。。 ”

Huang Youcai slapped himself hard in the mouth: "I'm so confused, I really responded to that sentence, 'smart for a lifetime, confused for a while'!" ”

"According to you, there should be no problem with the provenance of this painting. Have you looked at this painting carefully, the age of the paper, are you sure it's an old thing? Wang Ziren has recently studied calligraphy and painting, and has also put a lot of effort into it.

Since there is no problem with the source of this painting, the possibility of someone else setting it can also be ruled out. Now we have to go back to the painting itself and distinguish the authenticity.

"Stuff is old stuff." Huang Youcai said: "I looked carefully at the time, and the whole painting hall was already black and brown, and the corners and corners were a little cracked. ”

"What's the drawing?" Qian Yongqiang asked.

"A landscape painting, what is the name, I forget. It's really well drawn, the mountains and rivers are far away, the smoke is foggy, and there are two idlers playing under the trees. It's like a fairyland. "Huang Youcai has been in the industry for a long time, and he also understands calligraphy and painting.

Hearing Huang Youcai say "there are two idlers", Li Qiming couldn't help but "pounce" and laughed. "Those two are not idlers, they are idle people!"

"A person who has leisure must first be an idler. Not idle, can you have time to play chess? ”

"Anyway, if something good comes out of your big old mouth, it will turn sour!"

Qian Yongqiang waved his hand at the two: "Okay, okay." Don't make a fuss, it's time to get down to business! ”

"Yes, it's important to get down to business!" Huang Youcai looked at Li Qiming and said dissatisfiedly, "I almost delayed your business!" ”

Li Qiming looked at Qian Yongqiang, and stopped talking.

"Is this painting framed?" Qian Yongqiang asked Huang Youcai.

Huang Youcai thought for a while and said: "It should have been framed, but it is too old, and the painting rods are rotten." ”

"How big is the painting hall?"

"About two square feet."

"How do you know it's Wen Zhengming's painting?"

"There's a sign on it. I have been engaged in calligraphy and painting for so many years, and I still know these three words Wen Zhengming! ”

"Then why didn't you buy it then? You know, what they just picked up, they haven't studied it carefully, and it's the best time to buy it at that time, and the price is still low. ”

"Who says I don't want to buy it? When I saw this painting, my eyes were red, my heart was pounding, and my hands were shaking - I wanted to go up and grab it.

"I also want to take thirty or fifty, but Xiao Li is a ghost, seeing that it is an old thing, although he doesn't know Wen Zhengming's three words, he won't get rid of it easily, and he is afraid of leaking!"

"How much does Xiao Li offer?"

"Ten thousand. Less than a penny, don't sell! Huang Youcai said, "In Xiao Li's mind, 10,000 yuan is the number of the sky!" ”

Hearing that Xiao Li offered 10,000 yuan, the four of them fell silent.

"Brother Qian, Wen Zhengming's painting is priced at 10,000 yuan, is it too much?" Wang Ziren looked at Qian Yongqiang and asked.

"If it's true, you can buy it for 50,000 yuan, find a calligraphy and painting shop, and you can sell it for about 100,000 yuan; If it is imitated by the Qing Dynasty or modern people, I am afraid it can only be sold for a few thousand yuan. Qian Yongqiang said.

"So, when Xiao Li asked me for 10,000 yuan, I didn't dare to agree, and the risk was too great. I want to bring my brothers together and share the risk. Of course, the main thing is that everyone earns money together! ”

"The top priority is to see the painting as soon as possible and determine whether it is true or not. If it's true, buy it for 10,000 yuan, and it's very profitable! Qian Yongqiang said.

"Yes, we can't grind anymore, we have to hurry to Xiao Li, if someone else takes the lead, then we will only regret it!"

"Let's go get the money first. When I get there, the goods are good, one hand of money, one hand of goods. Save yourself on the verbose. That Xiao Li is also not a fuel-efficient lamp, in case he is capricious. ”

As he spoke, several people were about to leave for the bank to withdraw money.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the hospital.

The three of them were stunned in unison, with a wry smile on their faces.

"Who could it be at this juncture?"
