"You said this painting is fake?" The shop owner laughed furiously: "You haven't heard of Teacher Zhao, Mr. Zhao? That's the authority of the older generation in the collection industry! The appraisal letter he issued is clearly placed here! Is there still fake? OK! Even if Teacher Zhao is out of sight, can there be problems with our country's high-tech instruments? Do you want to cheat? Just say it if you don't have money! Let's call the police!"

Someone outside said, "Young man, it's not fake anymore. Teacher Yan and Teacher Liu have seen it."

"Yes, I think you'd better find out the person who just squeezed you. Four experts can't get a look at each other."

I understand their ideas. It is true that in this era when you can buy an appraisal book for money, a piece of paper may not explain the problem, but the key is that Yan Wanru and Zhao Lindong have a very good reputation in the industry. In addition, Teacher Liu is a total of three cultural relics experts and an authoritative organization. Since they dare to pat their chests and guarantee that this painting will definitely not be fake.

Yan Wanru blinked gently and handed me the broken scroll, as if she wanted me to point out something wrong.

Teacher Liu smiled and shook his head, not even looking at me.

I combined the scattered painting papers together. This painting, which is suspected to be Mr. Shirashi, is a small-sized work. A vivid bird lies on the branches. It is a very simple style. There is no sign of Qi Baishi on the painting. I organized the language and said, "Now the fraud methods are endless. Who says that the inspection of high-tech instruments is absolutely correct? I know why you are so sure. Yes, the brushstrokes of this painting do indeed have the style of Mr. Shirashi, which is more in line with his middle-aged style. Therefore, the possibility of fabricated products is ruled out. In addition, the bird's shape has not appeared in Qi Baishi's works so far, and the possibility of copying with wooden board watermarking technology is very small."

"You have some knowledge." The shop owner looked at me with a little surprise: "Then do you still say that this painting is not real?"

"This is exactly the cleverness of the counterfeiter." I turned my head and looked at Yan Wanru and others, and continued, "You are all experts, and it was not my turn to show off here. Look here, although the shape and intention of the birds are very good, why does it give me a very vague feeling? Moreover, I would like to ask, why is this painting so small? A bird and a few tree branches? Is there no incomplete feeling? Also, why did Mr. Shiraishi not sign it? This is not a manuscript."

"I didn't see the blur." Teacher Liu curled his lips slightly: "There are many famous calligraphy and paintings without signatures."

Yan Wanru's soft eyes looked carefully on the drawing paper several times, "...Tell me about your judgment."

"This is not a complete painting, but just a partial copying picture." I affirmed: "I infer that the counterfeiter has the original painting in his hand. He is smart and smart. He knows that more words will be lost. No matter how good the counterfeiting technique is, it will inevitably reveal some flaws. Therefore, the fewer the drawings are, the smaller the flaws are. This is also the reason why he did not use the absolute cloning technique of instruments to copy the signature and the trunks, rivers, sunsets and other scenery. Moreover, the counterfeiter holds the real painting in his hand, which increases the deceptiveness..."

"Inference?" The shop owner interrupted me impatiently, knocking his index finger on the table: "What I want is real evidence!"

"Wait a minute." Yan Wanru stared at my eyes suspiciously: "You just said the trunk of a tree? River? Glowing light? Have you seen the original painting?"

"That's not." I coughed and said, "But I've seen a copy of it, a copy."

"Where?" Yan Wanru said curiously.

"That painting was in the hands of a Taiwanese a few months ago. Later, I heard that it was sold to Mr. Song Luyou." I racked my brains and recalled: "Mr. Song is also a collector. You should know him. If you don't believe what I said, you can call him and ask Mr. Song to send a photo of the original picture."

"Okay, let me ask." Yan Wanru seemed to be suspicious of the painting, and took out a Nokia phone and held it in his ear: "...Hey, Mr. Song, I am Yan Wanru... Yes, I want to ask if you collected Mr. Bai Shi's calligraphy and painting a while ago... Is it? What? Is it an imitation? It's okay, I want a photo... Yes, there is something to compare with it... Thank you... OK, please wait..."

Yan Wanru asked the store owner to borrow a laptop. After a while, a clear picture was displayed in front of everyone.

This painting is much bigger. In addition to birds and branches, there are also the whole picture of the trunks, the continuous streams, and the faint glow.

A little comparison will reveal that the image of the bird that I tore off was imitated by the partial copying of this painting!

Nothing bad is wrong!

The scene was in an uproar!

Yan Wanru turned around and looked at me with a smile, and took the lead in puffing up her applause.

Immediately, everyone burst into applause in waves.

"Young man is a good guy!"

"None of the four experts can compare to you! It's amazing!"

I was a little uncomfortable with being held by someone, and I smiled embarrassedly and didn't say anything. In fact, no one knows better than myself. If Yan Wanru hadn't explained the whole story in the TV last night in great detail, I would have been blindsided and could not tell the truth or the false.

After solving the problem here, I took the bus back to Qianmen Siheyuan.

My parents were not at home at work, so I spent three hours confirming that I finally accepted the fact that I had returned to last summer vacation.

It is absolutely lie to say that you are not shocked, but what follows is an indescribable excitement.

Maybe God heard the dream of "wanting to be a rich man" deep in my heart and specially gave me an opportunity.

This is an opportunity!

This year, stocks are ups and downs and house prices are shaking. It is obviously unrealistic to make money from here. Think about it, collecting is a good way to make money. In a year, it is not long or short, but for me this is enough, and this is even the result I am willing to see. Because, during the summer vacation, I also worked in the Beijing Antiques City. I heard too many rumors in scattered and still remembered them freshly. If I really wanted to go back to two years ago, five years ago, or ten years ago, many events were impossible for me to remember one by one, which would have been a bad thing.

I took a deep breath and couldn't wait to pick up the pen, recalling stories about finding a bargain on TV, either by hearsay or by news.

As small as a stamp worth several hundred yuan, as big as jadeite that caused a sensation across the country.

Pottery and porcelain, Ming and Qing furniture, cosmetics, ancient coins, four treasures of study, cigarette label posters...
