Chapter 303: Interlaced like a mountain
On the way there, Bao Yuanshan introduced us to this master of counterfeiting.
The master of counterfeiting is named Zheng Baode, who is 60 years old this year.
Imitation porcelain and jade are his forte, and when the expert in the world sees the imitation he makes, he can't tell the authenticity at all.
So, he also charges a lot of money.
Half of the imitations of the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China in Haicheng were made by him.
"It's okay if the fee is high, the important thing is that he can actually make what we want. Manting, how much of our public money is left? ”
"There are thirty-five thousand left, which should be enough. You don't have to worry about money, the most important thing right now is that we can get through this together. ”
I heard Li Manting's voice, what she meant was that no matter how much Zheng Baode offered, she could take it.
If the public funds are not enough, she pays out of her own pocket.
She has such an awareness, which shows that she has long regarded Li Miao as her brother and sister.
Although this woman always puts on a stinky face that no one can approach, those who really know her know that her heart is fiery and kind.
Under the command of Bao Yuanshan, we came to a porcelain shop called Jubaoge after several twists and turns.
As soon as Bao Yuanshan entered, he was recognized by the waiter in the Treasure Pavilion.
After some negotiation, the waiter led us through a secret door.
Passing through the secret door, I went down another step and passed through the security gate.
Finally, after the waiter personally knocked on the door to say hello and confirm, we saw Zheng Baode's true face.
Before I went in, I couldn't help but scold: ", you can pretend, you really think of yourself as a person." ”
Seeing this, Bao Yuanshan quickly pinched my shoulder and signaled me to restrain my temper.
I nodded, of course I would keep my temper in check, and I was counting on him to do something that would help us escape the scorpions.
"Master Zheng, we meet again."
Bao Yuanshan took the initiative to step forward and greeted Zheng Baode.
Zheng Baode sat on the faucet chair, holding a pipe in his hand, and was swallowing clouds and spitting smoke.
His face was old, he wore a silk gown, and a pair of black cloth shoes on his feet, and he looked no different from the old men who liked to bump into the trees in the park in the morning.
He nodded at Bao Yuanshan: "Well, isn't this Lao Bao?" What's wrong? What are you looking for me? ”
I said straight to the point: "Master Zheng, you are a master of counterfeiting in Haicheng, of course I came to you to fake." Did you make this thing? ”
"Jokes, and what else I can't make? You doll, you talk a little disrespectful. ”
Zheng Baode spat at me, dissatisfied with my words.
Seeing this, Bao Yuanshan hurriedly played a round: "Master Zheng, he is still young, he has just entered the Dao, and he doesn't know your reputation in Haicheng. ”
Zheng Baode sneered, and then said with no one in his eyes: "The things I made, not to mention those bullshit experts on the market, even if someone from the previous dynasty came, it would be difficult to distinguish the real from the fake." Say, what do you want me to make? ”
I found a picture of the dragon bowl and handed it to him: "This is the bowl, can you reproduce it perfectly?" ”
And Zheng Baode immediately changed his expression after seeing this bowl.
He sat precariously and put down his pipe.
The cloudy eyes also became bright at this moment, and Bao Yuanshan and I glanced at each other, and at the same time realized that something was wrong.
It's just a dragon bowl, is his reaction so big?
"Song Dynasty Ru kiln dragon and phoenix bowl, according to legend, a dragon bowl, a phoenix bowl. If this is the real thing, it will be worth more than a million. Where did you get this picture? ”
Zheng Baode is still very knowledgeable, but I don't have so many words with him: "Where the photos came from, it's not up to you." We came to you to ask if you could make a replica of this bowl, the exact one. ”
Zheng Baode put down the camera, thought about it for a while and said, "Of course you can, but are you sure that the one in this photo is the real thing?" Regarding this bowl, there are many fakes on the market. If this bowl is also a fake, then I am copying a fake. When the time comes, I will not be responsible for being seen by others. ”
"Don't worry, it's our own problem that something happened, you just need to copy these photos."
He nodded: "Little meaning, let's get the goods in three days." ”
"What about the price? We haven't negotiated a price yet. ”
"Oh yes, I'm all old and confused, fifty thousand."
I was shocked and asked, "Fifty thousand?" This is a fake, not the real thing! Fifty thousand dollars? You're too open-mouthed, aren't you? ”
He took a puff on his cigarette and asked, "Then how much do you say?" ”
"Twenty thousand."
"Okay, twenty thousand. After three days, come and pick up the goods. ”
We looked at each other and always felt that something was wrong.
But Riemanting still gave the money, and then we left the Treasure Pavilion.
Back at the bar, Li Miao immediately asked us excitedly, "How is it?" Can he imitate it? ”
Li Manting nodded: "Yes, the money has been paid, and he asked us to pick up the goods in three days." But...... Chen Mo, are you sure that his imitation can fool the scorpion's people? If the Scorpions' people find out that what you've given them is a fake, we won't have a chance at all. ”
Li Manting's words made everyone's faces show a worried look.
"Don't worry, since I dare to do this, there is a reason for me to do this."
I lit a cigarette and smoked: "However, what I'm most worried about now is Zheng Baode, his reaction is too abnormal." ”
Bao Yuanshan thought the same as me: "Yes, although the work he does is a million profits. But in the face of your bargaining, he agreed too happily. From 50,000 to 20,000, he didn't hesitate at all. ”
Not only when he was bargaining, but also when he saw the photo of the dragon bowl, his surprised reaction was obviously not the first time he had seen this bowl. I think he must know that this bowl is genuine. But he had to ask us repeatedly afterwards whether the photo was real or fake. I always felt like he was talking to us. ”
Song Haiyang asked curiously: "Could it be that this old thing has a ghost in his heart after seeing this bowl and wants to start a side business?" ”
Bao Yuanshan shook his head: "No, interlacing is like separating mountains, let Li Miao fake, Li Miao can't make it; Let him steal it, and he won't steal it. What's more, people are doing a good job in their own industry and making a lot of money, so there is no need to get involved in fields that they don't know at all. ”
I took a hard puff on my cigarette, then looked at them and raised a chilling possibility: "What if...... Zheng Baode is a scorpion person? ”
