Chapter 0359: A Buyer Is Not As Good As A Seller
“Aigoo, Mr. Jin. There are quite a few good items down there! Aren’t you going to stay and take a look?”
Tao Shan saw Fatty Jin wanting to leave, a bit flustered, Ouyang Jun and Zhuang Rui left, just what he wanted, but Fatty Jin wanting to leave, he still has a few contraptions below him that can be made to look like the real thing, but it’s less of a trust.
“Hehe, Boss Tao’s stuff is naturally quite a lot, let’s talk about it later when we have the chance!”
Fatty Jin snorted, will that “good” word said extremely heavy, not to mention Tao Shan, is the hall of the bystanders, but also doubtful look at their own hands of the object, the heart of some drums. As for the future to say that, Tao Shan also understand, that is, there will never be a next time, he knows that he laid the bureau was this fat man see through, is to offend him completely dead.
“Ah! Good. Back when I have time, I’ll invite Mr. Jin to have tea again, take your time!”
Tao Shan knew that he couldn’t keep Fatty Jin, the hidden meaning of drinking tea was to make amends to you afterward. Fatty Jin smiled and didn’t say anything, took Zhuang Rui’s painting and followed behind Ouyang Jun and the others and walked out.
As for the black market organized by Tao Shan, in the back of the auction, those who are interested in investing in antiques business owners, also became cautious, they just do not understand, and not stupid, to see Fatty Jin retired in the middle of the game, but also feel that the black market has something fishy inside.
Already bought things naturally do not give back, but for those new to take out the auction, let Ma Qiang is the mouth of the lotus flower, the bosses are also give full play to the skills of haggling in business, each other do not raise the price, froze several pieces of high imitation of antiques, at a price lower than the cost of the auction to the hand, angry Tao Shan almost spit blood.
Zhuang Rui and others naturally do not know the things behind. After entering the elevator, Fatty Jin said to Zhuang Rui with some displeasure: “Zhuang old brother, that porcelain should also have catnip! You also do not remind my brother a sentence, almost I will head into the set to go, now can say it?”
Antiques this line of work, you if all kinds of general, that is basically all kinds of loose. Fatty Jin is an expert in painting and calligraphy, for porcelain, although also understand, but definitely not as good as those specializing in porcelain decades of connoisseurs, so he now suspects that the thing is fake, but not yet seen the catfight is in what place.
As for Zhuang Rui did not speak at that time, that is also the rule, this and chess in general, the talk is to watch the chess does not say the true gentleman, you say it does not matter, to help the fat man Jin, but the evil black market boss, so if it is not a close friend, in this kind of occasions, generally will not publish their own remarks.
“Mr. Jin, see what you say, then I can still see you suffer not, really did not come to remind you, that object is finished shooting.”
Zhuang Rui said is the truth, he and the fat man is very close, originally thought of pointing him a sentence, but he just and Ouyang Jun said a few words, the object actually 300,000 on the Yang Bo shot down, even let Zhuang Rui and the fat man said a few words of work did not give to stay. At that time let Zhuang Rui is very speechless, this forest big what birds have, but rushed to others to send money, Zhuang Rui or the first time to see.
“Hey, that’s my fault old brother, but that object glaze color modeling and paragraph, how to look like really Ming Zhengtong blue and white, old brother how do you see the fake?”
After hearing the words of Zhuang Rui, Fatty Jin also relieved, he also knows his own out of a point of urgency, before and after not a minute’s time, the price was raised to three hundred thousand, this thing can not be blamed on the Zhuang Rui, just this curiosity in the heart of Fatty Jin, still waiting for Zhuang Rui to solve the problem, at least the next time you can not eat the same loss is not.
“Hey, of course the bottom of the money is true, but Mr. Jin, that thing if you buy home to go, can not pretend vinegar ah! Otherwise there are thirty to fifty minutes, that base is going to separate from the can body.”
Zhuang Rui’s words let Fatty Jin suddenly realized, this kind of transfer of wood, in the antique inside is not uncommon, like some of the ancient masters of the manuscript. The front is real, but the back is fake, also often let some connoisseurs go blind and fall for it.
In the Republic of China, there has been a calligraphy and painting appraisal everyone, that pair of eyes is discerning, known as the king half, any calligraphy and painting antiques, he only look at half of them can be divided into true and false, this name is not their own bragging, but after countless appraisals and got.
But ultimately, half of the king is loaded on this half above, in a time he helped identify a Song Dynasty masterpiece painting, also in accordance with the habit of looking at the general, to determine that the painting is true, and please him that person, will pay a lot of money will be bought down the painting, but after a short while, it was rumored that the painting is fake.
Wang half of course is full of confidence, mouth even said impossible, and then went to identify a number of, to open half of that scroll, Wang half of the face are very normal, but half of the time, Wang half of the back of the discovery of all the fake, then angry anger, almost did not fainted.
Later, after this matter spread out, a knowledgeable person to solve the mystery, the painting had suffered a robbery, the following half was burned by the fire, the painting is an antique businessman holds, when he spent a lot of money to buy this painting, the heart can not afford, so out of a crooked idea.
The antique dealer found a skillful painting and calligraphy craftsman, with the Song Dynasty paper to the second half of the painting. To repaint it, and the upper half of the frame together, and then gave that half of the king under a set, with this half of the fake painting, sold a real painting price.
This matter has been rumored for a long time in the antique world, even now, many people in the industry also know, so Fatty Jin listened to Zhuang Rui so said, the heart is also relieved. This technique is done skillfully, not to mention their own, is to come to a porcelain appraisal expert, in that short few minutes, may not be able to see the end.
“Zhuang Rui, that porcelain are fake, you buy this painting, may also be fake it? How about I give you this five thousand dollars!”
Miao Fei Fei on the side of the feeling a little bit too much, Zhuang Rui is to help themselves to do the case, but spend money to buy a fake painting, Miao police officer although sometimes very unreasonable, but to friends is still very interesting, she does not think, Zhuang Rui poor that five thousand dollars?
“Huh, five children, this painting is you buy?” Ouyang Jun still does not know that the painting held in the hands of Fatty Jin is Zhuang Rui’s, and at that moment spoke out and asked.
“Well, Miao …… Fifi.”
Zhuang Rui almost in front of Fatty Jin’s face shouted out the three words of Officer Miao, fortunately reacted quickly, then said: “This painting is the Qing Dynasty people imitation, but can not break the generation, I let Mr. Jin take it back to help give to check the information, to see if you can find out who is imitating.”
“Then you did not earn ah? Just now that crooked businessman, will take the real thing out to sell?”
Miao Fei Fei was a bit puzzled, this time any didn’t have any gains, and along with that, Officer Miao had a bad impression of Tao Shan. That said, if you can come up with the real artifacts stolen from the tomb of Guo Guo’s ruler, then the case is not that you can continue to investigate it!
“Oh, Ms. Miao, that is someone else fishing with, want to back things shoot a good price, of course, to spend some money, just this black market is not smart, was Zhuang old brother ate the bait, has not taken the bait, but that open the black market people have not suffered a loss, behind the sale of things, that this painting lost money, long ago to find make up for it back.”
Fatty Jin this will figure out, anyway, this trip to nothing to lose, but also to see a shifted blue and white porcelain jar, is not a vain trip.
“Still not smart ah? You almost suffered a loss.” Miao Fei Fei has always been a fast talker, making Fatty Jin laugh and cry.
Fatty Jin on Miao Fei Fei’s words but did not think, smilingly said: “I this is nothing, to tell you a story in the line! Play collection of people, like to go to the countryside around, because there left more ancient things, once an antique dealer down to the countryside to acquire cultural relics, see the village entrance has an old farmer, low-brow eyes in the sale of cats, suddenly that antique dealer found that this feed the cat’s food dish, is actually a very high value of cultural relics. That person’s eyes turn, immediately on the mind, in order to not let the old farmer noticed, he paid a high price to buy all the old farmer’s five cats, leaving pretending to be full of carelessness, said, I bought your cat, the cat and accustomed to using this food dish to eat, simply, you send this to me never mind. Said this antique dealer reached out to take, just at this time, the old farmer’s eyes opened, light as lightning, said a stone-breaking words: ‘do not move, on the basis of this ‘broken food dish’ I sold a total of fifty cats!
“Hey, hey, little girl, you know! It’s always the buyer who is not as smart as the seller, not to mention that I didn’t suffer a loss today, even if I did, that’s a long way to go.”
Ouyang Jun two families are also listening to the interesting, this antique line of story, very can attract people.
“Well, Zhuang old brother, this painting three or five days of estimates will be able to identify out, when we contact by phone!”
A few people talking, has come to the hotel door, come when there is a car to pick up, this go when fat man Jin heart is not happy, also did not let the black market people send, at the moment hit a cab to leave.
“Officer Miao, where are you going?” There are no more bystanders, Zhuang Rui put his eyes to Miao Fei Fei, Ouyang Jun and Xu Qing know Miao Fei Fei’s occupation, naturally, they will not be surprised.
“I’m going to work, who’s as idle as you! Bye.”
Officer Miao was still considered cautious, after greeting Zhuang Rui and the others, he didn’t directly cross the road and enter into the police station, but circled around and went in through another side door of the police station.
“What, still can’t let others go ah?”
Ouyang Jun knew that Zhuang Rui was worried about that girl walking directly into the police station and being seen by Tao Shan’s people, and deliberately joked.
“Come on, send me to my brother-in-law’s place, I still left my car there!”
Seeing Xu Qing drive Ouyang Jun’s Audi from the underground parking lot, Zhuang Rui pulled open the back door and nonchalantly sat on it.
