Chapter 323: The Battle of Real Money and Silver
"Okay, Master Jin, you can go back quickly."
While Jiang Hai took the car door, he told the driver to get off work quickly.
"I'm not in a hurry," Master Jin was not in a hurry at all: "Or I'll wait for you a while." ”
"It's okay, I'll go back with Section Chief Jiang in a while."
Jingle bell ~ jingle bell ~
In the office building at night, there was a burst of telephone ringing from an unknown office.
Jiang Hai and Jiang Shan looked up at the same time, and they happened to meet Cai Wensheng and Zeng Yi, who lived in the staff dormitory on the third floor.
"Lao Jiang, you came back just in time,"
Cai Wensheng, who was lying on the railing, shouted below: "Go back to your office and take a look, the phone has been ringing several times." ”
"yes,"
Jiang Hai retracted his gaze and glanced at Jiang Shan: "Don't something happen, right?" ”
Jiang Shan took the lead in taking a step: "Hurry up upstairs and take a look." ”
Without further ado, the brothers went upstairs.
To say that the person who called was really persistent, and he didn't succeed again and again, until Jiang Hai grabbed the handle out of breath: "Hey~"
"It's Comrade Jiang Hai," the other side was finally relieved: "I'm Director Zhang." ”
"Chapter Bureau?" No wonder it lasts so long, Jiang Hai revealed to the other party when he was leaving: "What's wrong?" You are in such a hurry to find me. ”
Zhang Bureau: "Why, you haven't received a call from the old experts in Shibo?" ”
"No,"
Jiang Hai quickly frowned and looked at Jiang Shan, and this glance made Jiang Shan nervous: "Why did the experts from the city blog call me?" Isn't it ......?"
"Jiang Hai, don't think crooked," Zhang Ju said with a smile on the phone: "It's a good thing this time, not only did they ask me for your phone number, but even the leaders of the Cultural Relics Bureau asked me for your phone number." ”
"A good thing?" Jiang Hai's eyes were cloudy: "What can they do if they look for me...... Meddlesome? ”
"It's because of what you just said that they regained their confidence," Zhang Ju hated himself for taking a step earlier: "After we left, what did they finally do in that snow?" ”
"Snow Bamboo Diagram."
"Yes, I finally found the secret on the snow bamboo map!"
"Is there really a secret?"
Jiang Shan watched Jiang Hai stand up.
So, he quickly stood up.
When Jiang Hai hung up the phone in a trance, Jiang Shan hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, brother, what did you say over there?" ”
Before he could explain anything, the phone on the desk rang again.
"Hey, is it Oriental Metropolis Daily?" Xie Zhiliu's voice came from the phone: "I'm looking for your editor-in-chief Jiang." ”
"Director Xie," Jiang Hai stabilized his mind: "I am Jiang Hai." ”
"Comrade Jiang Hai," Xie Zhiliu didn't stabilize for a moment: "You finally answered the phone." ”
"There is a delay on the way to return to the club," Jiang Hai only thought that he didn't know anything: "May I ask if you are looking for me so late, is there something wrong?" ”
"Editor-in-Chief Jiang, please remember today's historical moment," Xie Zhiliu can't forget it anyway: "Because today's huge discovery of mine also has your share of credit!" ”
"What do you mean by that?"
Jiang Hai didn't realize the historical significance of this incident in the calligraphy and painting circle: "I have a share of the credit for everything." ”
Didn't he just go to the city expo and talk something!
"Do you know what I found on Snow Bamboo Drawing?"
"What?"
"Soon after you left, the more I thought about it, the more I felt that your words were worth pondering, so I ordered someone to take down the "Snow Bamboo Picture,"
Xie Zhiliu took advantage of the opening of his speech and swallowed a blood pressure medicine: "After my unremitting efforts and reverse investigation, I finally found eight small characters in seal script on a bamboo pole. ”
"Did you really find anything?" Jiang Hai finally had a sense of participation: "What is it written?" Who exactly is the author? ”
"The price of this bamboo is one hundred taels of gold!"
"Huh? How are these? ”
"You didn't expect that."
"It doesn't have a writer or a chronology?"
"No, there is no ink in this regard," Xie Zhiliu said with a smile: "To say that this "Snow Bamboo Picture" is really different, not only the painting style is unique, but even the collection is different from others. ”
"Oh, it's not easy," Jiang Hai never thought that his casual words would make the old experts so aggressive: "You must be looking for it very hard." ”
"It's worth the hard work to make such a huge discovery,"
After Xie Zhiliu finished speaking, the two old gentlemen beside him both smiled and nodded.
"However, without the words of your editor-in-chief Jiang, I would still not have rekindled my confidence in "Snow Bamboo Picture", so at such an exciting moment, I must tell you this good news and thank you."
"Old Xie, you are serious,"
Jiang Hai, who was still standing at his desk, looked ahead with a solemn expression:
"The person who should say thank you should be us, if there is no insistence of the older generation of experts like you, we juniors will not be able to appreciate the style of the ancient masters, as well as the wonders of their calligraphy and painting, so please allow me to say to you on behalf of all the staff of the Oriental Metropolis Daily: Thank you, you have worked hard."
After speaking, Jiang Hai hooked four fingers with his backhand.
A cigarette in Jiang Shan's hand immediately rested into the palm of the boss's hand.
"Hahaha,"
Director Xie hasn't smiled so comfortably for a long time, and now he likes this editor-in-chief Jiang more and more:
"Comrade Jiang Hai, few of today's young leading cadres take us old stubborn seriously, let alone see such an all-round development as you. Editor-in-Chief Jiang will certainly have a bright future in the future. ”
"I still can't do without the guidance of my seniors."
"If you have time in the future, remember to come to me often," Director Xie smiled kindly: "I see that you are also very good at calligraphy and painting!" ”
"I know a little bit about it." Jiang Hai once again emphasized that he really just knew a little.
"A little bit of knowing one or two is already better than countless people," Xie Zhiliu likes the kind of person who either doesn't say it, but just points it out: "I have this position now, it's not a day's work, I'll send you a few calligraphy and paintings another day, and you go back to have a good experience." ”
"Okay," Jiang Hai, who didn't have any consciousness at all, responded very refreshingly: "I'll tell you the truth, as soon as I saw the "Snow Bamboo Picture" today, I immediately felt unusual, and there was a kind of indescribable ...... How can I describe it to you, Fang Zheng, I think he has something to say to me. ”
"So that's the case...... Director Xie thought deeply, since this is the case: "Editor-in-chief Jiang, you must come and sit here often in the future!" ”
"Don't worry, I still have to come to your door to receive your submissions!"
"Yes, yes, yes," Xie Zhiliu thought about it: "I still have an essay to write!" ”
Putting down the phone, Jiang Hai immediately extinguished the cigarette: "Third child, you can't imagine why they called me anyway?" ”
Jiang Shan really didn't expect Xie Zhiliu to fight overnight: "Isn't it just the message found on "Snow Bamboo Map"." ”
"How do you know?"
"You still need to ask," Jiang Shan said with a clear eye: "Didn't you just say it to the phone: "Did you really find out?" What are they all written? You must have had a hard time. ”
"Hey," Jiang Hai smiled, but in the blink of an eye: "Then do you know where that word is written?" And what is written? ”
"I don't know about that," he said, "Where's the writing?" ”
"It is said that it is on a small section of bamboo, and eight small characters are written upside down, 'The price of this bamboo is 100 taels of gold'."
Jiang Shan nodded: "Oh! ”
"I can hear that the old gentleman is very excited," Jiang Hai will also be very excited: "I said that I had already called the home of the relevant leader, and everyone was very excited, and I made an appointment to go to the museum early tomorrow morning to visit the appraisal results." ”
Jiang Shan nodded: "This news is really a big event among them." ”
"Really?" Jiang Hai was stunned for a moment: "It's really strange to say, Director Xie insisted that it was my words, which made them curious about "Snow Bamboo Picture" again. ”
"What's so strange about this," Jiang Dong Chaxi said, "many times, it is the bystanders who are clear and the authorities who are confused. ”
"What do I know," Jiang Hai panicked when he thought about it: "You weren't at the scene at the time, and my level of nonsense is about to catch up with you now." ”
"How can this be nonsense," Jiang Shan called out to the conscience of heaven and earth: "MZX testifies, what I said to you is true." But well...... Big brother, you're growing up pretty fast at this stage. ”
"Look at what you said, and nonsense has become an advantage when it comes to your mouth?"
"As the so-called skills are not pressing," Jiangshan has repeatedly emphasized the need for all-round development:
"For a comrade like you who is in a front-line leadership position, even if you don't ask for a three-step dance floor or four laps of mahjong, you still have to know how to order two or three official sentences."
"Why does this sound so awkward," Jiang Hai didn't smooth it out for a while, but still laughed:
"But I only understand today, why do you like to stay with a group of old comrades, although they are a little more serious, but most of the time they are still very amiable, not to mention, it feels really good to be in close contact with cultural relics."
"That is, you don't look at who these old comrades are," Jiang Shanneng is the master of blindly delaying kung fu? "But when it comes to being amiable...... You'll understand when you're exposed to it later. ”
"Understand what?"
"Everything!"
When it comes to experts and scholars at this level, most of them are kind and amiable on weekdays.
But once you get more serious professionally, it's not something that can be done easily.
Especially the collision between the Sword Sect and the Qi Sect, the absolute force is a battle of sinking the ship that would rather injure yourself a thousand than injure eight hundred.
I can't figure it out, and persuade it to be more prosperous...... Often a debate can drag on for years before the ugly man can be separated.
In 1995, Zhejiang-Jiang held an autumn auction with a large number of famous artists.
A buyer from Shaoxing auctioned a calligraphy and painting "Imitation of Stone Creek Landscape" at a high price of 1.1 million.
From the literal meaning of the name of the painting, it can be understood that this is a work by Zhang Daqian that imitates the painting style of his predecessors.
Perhaps the price of this painting was too high, and all rumors rose with the wind for a while.
The Shaoxing buyer, who was originally quite proud, was questioned by an expert present in an unintentional display.
It's worth it, it's a million dollars from the 90s.
So, the Shaoxing entrepreneur hurriedly sent the painting to Xie Zhiliu for appraisal.
After looking at the painting, Xie Lao identified the painting as "undoubtedly genuine", and issued an appraisal on the spot.
But the buyer, who was still not at ease, brought the painting to Beijing under the guidance of another master.
He sent this painting to Xu Bangda's eyes.
Sure enough, there was no accident, and the unexpected happened.
After some careful inspection by Xu Banchi, this "Imitation of Stone Creek Landscape" was identified as a facsimile.
In other words, this painting is someone else's imitation of Zhang Daqian's style and a copy of the paintings of the ancients.
Listen to it, listen to it and it's messy.
After reaching this conclusion, the buyer was immediately furious.
The return was immediately submitted to the auction company.
Because the auction house refused to spit out the money, the buyer had no choice but to file lawsuits with the Supreme People's Court of Hangzhou-Prefecture and Zhejiang-Jiangsu.
But this seemingly lawsuit between the buyer and the auction house has actually become a contest between Xie Zhiliu and Xu Bangda.
Insiders know that when it comes to the skills of studying calligraphy and painting, Xu Bangda is definitely not as good as Xie Zhiliu.
But when it comes to the identification of calligraphy and paintings, no one among the living people can compare with Xu Bangda.
If you insist on pulling out one, it can only be Mr. Qigong.
In the coming year 1983, the State Administration of Cultural Heritage will set up a calligraphy and painting appraisal team.
In addition to Xu Bangda and Qi Gong, the members of this group also have Yang Renkai, who identified the authenticity of "Qingming Riverside Map".
It can be said that all of them have unique skills, but the leader of the group is even better, he is Xie Zhiliu, the director of the Pujiang Museum.
The task of this appraisal team is not only to inspect the work of museums in various provinces and cities across the country, but also to appraise the controversial collections in the museums.
So, the show started all the way.
This nationwide tour lasted for 8 years, and it was full of disputes between the two generals, Xie and Xu.
Xie Zhiliu is not only the leader of the group, but also a famous calligrapher and painter.
The demeanor of speech is naturally unusual, and it is often a statement that cannot be questioned.
Compared with several other old experts who are easy to talk, Xu Lao's eyes can't be mixed with a grain of sand.
Being in the Forbidden City, he has a very wide horizon, and he has read countless paintings, both true and fake.
The style characteristics of the calligraphy and paintings of celebrities in the past dynasties have already been entered into the mind and read at any time.
In many debates, often a key knowledge point he raised, or a corroboration recorded in history, will catch Xie Fang off guard and unable to refute.
But the other party has the right of veto of the group leader, even if it is said that it will go to heaven, it must be decided by heaven.
As an art master, Xie Zhiliu has a big temper and a bigger idea, and he will be angry at the slightest disappointment.
Whenever this happens, Yang Renkai and Fu Xinian, who could have said two sentences, are silent.
Xu Bangda, who is not known for his sharp words, is even more breathless and wants to pack up and go home.
Only Qi Gong will persuade him politely at this time: "Old Xu, why bother!" ”
"Listen to what that said," Xu Bangda was really angry: "When I was touring the country, he didn't know where he was?" ”
As early as 1942, China also set up a cultural relics identification inspection team.
Among them, the expert responsible for the identification of calligraphy and painting is Xu Bangda.
At that time, Xie Zhiliu was following Zhang Daqian to expand his paintings in Dunhuang.
What's more coincidental is that the head of the Pujiang Museum at that time was also Xu Bangda.
Later, because of the invitation of Zheng Zhenduo, director of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, Xu Bangda joined the Palace Museum Research Institute.
And Xie Zhiliu, who returned from Dunhuang, also officially stepped into the noble circle of calligraphy and painting under the recommendation of Zhang Boju.
Therefore, when it comes to the appraisal of calligraphy and painting, Xie is definitely not able to ...... with Xu That's something!
It's a pity that so what.
"Authoritative authority", the word power comes first, and deterrence comes last.
As long as there is authority, nothing else is good.
But once something involves a third party, it is not an internal contradiction.
After all, people spend real money.
The buyer of "Imitation of Stone Creek Landscape Map" swears not to be wronged.
A lawsuit is a few years.
Until 1998, the Supreme People's Court, which had been stumbling over authenticity, entrusted the State Administration of Cultural Heritage to organize an appraisal team of 11 experts in a fit of rage.
After some careful and professional evaluation, the expert group gave the final appraisal result: the "Imitation Stone Creek Landscape Map" identified as Zhang Daqian is a forgery.
In the end, the Supreme People's Court ruled against the auction company and awarded the buyer 1.27 million yuan in compensation.
It was only at this time that the contest between Xie Xu and Xu came to an end.
……
"What do you think?"
On the slow lane of Pujiang City, the two brothers of the Jiang family pedaled bicycles side by side.
Jiang Hai saw that the third child was about to ride on the road, so he reminded his voice: "Are you worried about the old expert in Yanjing?" ”
Jiang Hai had a feeling before, although Xu Bangda's manuscript of "Xu Xiluo's Ink Snow and Bamboo Map" was entrusted by himself.
But I never thought that the third child was more concerned than himself.
"What the fuck am I doing with that idleness." Jiangshan adjusted the driving route in time.
Relive a life, he is here to live, not to tie the knot.
Besides, the secret on this "Snow Bamboo Map" was originally discovered by Xie Zhiliu.
He just advanced the time of this incident by a year and a half, and also helped the eldest brother add a bit of incense by the way.
"Brother," Jiang Shan said as he walked around the car.
"After you get Director Xie's submission in a few days, remember to put it away with Elder Xu's, but you must keep it."
"Don't worry," Jiang Hai remembered early: "I even have a brown paper bag ready, and I'm waiting for Director Xie to submit the manuscript." ”
"You're really my brother,"
Jiang Shan listened to the music, and sang happily: "The road is long and foggy...... Camel bells ringing in my ears......"
Jiang Hai has been surrounded by this tune recently: "Comrade-in-arms, comrade-in-arms, dear brother......"
……
Early the next morning, almost all the leaders of the Pujiang Cultural Relics Bureau came to the museum.
Director Xie, who is full of spring breeze, is presenting the results to everyone.
All the experts congratulated one after another, and the article about Xu Bangda's "Xu Xi Falling Ink Snow and Bamboo Picture" seemed to be even more insignificant.
At the same time, the Forbidden City of Yanjing.
In order to express their gratitude to the two presidents of Peking University Hospital, Xu Bangda, Zhu Jiajin and Qi Gong are accompanying President Hu and President Ma to visit the Forbidden City.
At this time, several old gentlemen had already walked into a cultural relics restoration room.
"Calligraphy and painting belong to the organic cultural relics, in order to protect these famous paintings for a longer time, the exhibits generally placed in the exhibition hall are mostly copied paintings, and the two deans came today by coincidence,"
Zhu Jiajun smiled and pointed forward: "See, that is the true work of "Qingming Riverside Map". ”
"That is," Dean Hu knew the depths: "I really have eyes today." ”
On top of a huge bookcase, although a long scroll is only partially unfolded, it can already be seen that it is not an ordinary temperament.
What goes up and down is an identical painting.
The only difference is that an elderly lesbian is putting the finishing touches on the painting.
She is the famous copying master Feng Zhonglian, and the copying work of the "Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival" in front of her has lasted for ten years.
"Taken out of the treasury every day,"
Xu Bangda stood beside the painting with his hands behind his back: "Send it back to the warehouse before getting off work, I have been careful for ten years, and if I am not careful, I have to start all over again." That's her, I definitely can't carry it. ”
Feng Zhonglian only smiled and said nothing, steadily controlling the pen and ink.
Just when the big guy sighed quietly and expressed his respect, a little comrade suddenly ran over out of breath outside the door:
"Old Xu, hurry back to the office to answer the phone, the phones in the hall are ringing chaotically."
Xu Bangda's expression was grim: "Are you looking for me?" ”
Zhu Jiapu frowned: "What's wrong?" ”
Qi Gong: "Let's go and have a look." ”
So, the big guy hurriedly moved to the cultural relics research room.
It's really just like the saying, one phone call after another, ringing incessantly.
"May I ask if this is Mr. Xu Bangda, I am a reporter from the People's Daily, can you tell us more about the authentic work of "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map" that you found before?"
"I'm a reporter for the Yenching Evening News...... How did you identify that Qianlong's judgment was wrong? ”
"Mr. Xu, we are reporters from China Youth Daily, do you have time to accept an exclusive interview with our newspaper now?"
"Is it Mr. Xu Bangda? I'm here from Hong Kong's Wen Wei Po......"
"Right now, I just want to figure out one thing,"
Xu Bangda, who was holding the phone, was already a little dizzy: "My old yellow calendar, where do you know how to call......
