Chapter 167: The Author Is Valuable
Pei Shen came to the location of the survival team and asked:
"Lao Qin, what are you looking for me?"
"It's not me looking for you, it's Sister Jian Xiao looking for you, you sit down first and let her tell you slowly."
Jian Xiao didn't directly explain the painting, because she wasn't sure if there was any deal between Pei Shen and Shen's auction house.
So, she asked:
"I heard Zhou Xiyue say that Shen's auction house has a very good reputation, and any lot has to find 18 masters to appraisal, and it has always been well-known."
"So trustworthy, presumably Mr. Pei must have cooperated with the Shen family many times, right?"
Pei Shen didn't expect Jian Xiao to ask this, he looked at Qin Zhan's face, and answered in detail:
"That's not it, it's the first time I've worked with Shen."
"In the past, I was active in the south, and the auction house I was looking for was also local in the south, but it was only when I returned to the imperial capital this time that I found the head of the Shen family."
"But their reputation is really good, and the 18 appraisers are also true, and I was also present when I was doing the appraisal."
As soon as Jian Xiao heard this, she understood in her heart-
The first cooperation, in the case of neither party understanding, will not have too deep interests involved.
Then, the difference between the two paintings can only be the unilateral behavior of the Shen auction house, and it has nothing to do with Pei Shen.
"Mr. Pei, if I say that there is a problem with the painting on the stage, do you believe it or not?" Jian Xiao asked.
Pei Shen glanced at her in surprise, and then carefully looked at the paintings on the stands:
"Miss Jane, although you know something about the antique circle, don't talk about it, right? I asked myself if I still have a little eyesight, the painting on the stage is clearly the real work of the Yong'an period of the Dayin Dynasty. ”
When Jian Xiao heard this, she immediately smiled, and she nodded:
"It is indeed the authentic work of the Yong'an period of the Dayin Dynasty, but it is not the authentic work of Master Wang Chuanshui."
"If you look closely at the paper of that painting, under the light overhead, there will be a moire looming in the upper right corner, if I am not mistaken, it is a moire paper that will only appear in Yong'an for twenty years."
"As far as I know, that kind of paper is produced in very small quantities, and only a few nobles can use it."
"And Master Wang Chuanshui, a commoner, and he died in Yong'an ten years."
"Begonia Spring Rain", it is said that Master Wang Chuanshui made it in the ninth year of Yong'an, that was the last work of his life, how could it be used in Yong'an 20 years, before the appearance of moire paper?"
When Jian Xiao said this, Pei Shen was stunned for a moment.
He didn't expect that a moire hidden in the paper and cut off in half would become a flaw in distinguishing between real and fake paintings.
Pei Shen does have some eyesight, and he can see that this painting is an authentic work thousands of years ago.
but ignore the subtleties of the paper.
He even began to doubt himself:
"The "Begonia Spring Rain Picture" I brought back, is this one?"
"It's not." Jian Xiao shook her head directly, "In the storage room before, we saw that one was real, and this one was replaced." ”
Pei Shen was a little puzzled:
"That's only the Shen Auction House, they have the time and opportunity to do this kind of thing, but why are they?"
"It's also the authentic work of the Dayin Dynasty, but this one is only ten years late, and it's still an antique, why do they bother to make such a play?"
When Jian Xiao heard this, she smiled:
"It's a big difference!"
"If it is an object such as porcelain and jade, as long as it is produced at about the same time and in good condition, it can be sold for a similar price."
"But for antiques like calligraphy and paintings, it's the author who is really valuable."
"Master Wang Chuanshui is famous, but who knows who this later imitator is? Even if he looks like it, it is not Master Wang Chuanshui himself. ”
"It's like a fan wants Brother Zhan's autograph, but as a result, a dick imitates Brother Zhan's autograph, sells it to fans, and charges the same price, can it be the same?"
Pei Shen heard this and brought in:
There is still a big difference between the autographed photo of Emperor Qin and the autographed photo of Dick Si.
"Miss Jane, thank you for reminding me." Pei Shen said, "I didn't expect that I trusted the Shen family and handed over the lot to them, and they actually played with me like this." ”
After saying this, Pei Shen suddenly seemed to remember something:
If this exchange of his paintings was deliberate, what about before? Has Shen's Auction House used the same means to exchange other people's things?
He glanced at the live camera, stood up, and walked towards the stage.
