Jiang Jingren looked at Lin Yu, saw Lin Yu smile, signaling him that even though he said, he thrust his chest out, a hint of pride appeared in his expression, and said, "When it comes to this Yancaotang, it has its origin. Let me explain it to you first. The name can be opened and read. Although the geese are the geese of the wild goose, it is actually a fake. This tang is the meaning of the thatched hut, which symbolizes the folk people. As the name suggests, the word Yancaotang is a place specially established by a group of folk people to develop fakes!"

As he said that, he turned his head and looked at Lin Yu, as if asking his son-in-law if he was right.

Lin Yu nodded at him with a smile, with a hint of admiration in his eyes. He didn't expect that his father-in-law is quite knowledgeable! It seems that he has studied a lot on weekdays, but unfortunately, this kind of motivation to learn things is used in the fake world!

Jiang Jingren was recognized by Lin Yu and was more confident. He continued, "But their counterfeits are not ordinary counterfeits. They are equivalent to Hermes in the counterfeit world. They are extremely expensive, but they are very finely made and can be made of fakes. Many people are even willing to spend a lot of money to buy a work from Yancaotang as a collection. I have always wanted to buy one, but the things from Yancaotang are as precious as real products on the market. After so many years, I have never been able to buy it as I wish!"

As he said that, Jiang Jingren shook his head and sighed with great regret.

"Uncle, what do you mean is that these two paintings and two brush washes are all from Yancaotang?!"

Zhou Chen's expression changed, and he hurried forward and said in surprise, "You are so amazing about Yancaotang, but I have been working with my father in antiques for nearly twenty years. Why have you never heard of this non-governmental organization?!"

"Yes, we have never heard of this Yancaotang..."

"No, I haven't heard of it!"

Master Chen and Master Qi also looked at each other, with surprise on their faces. It would be fine if Zhou Chen had been in the antique industry for twenty years and had not heard of it, but they had been in the antique industry for forty or fifty years! How could they have never heard of it?!

"Uh...this..."

Jiang Jingren, who was confident at the beginning, couldn't help but feel ashamed when he heard this, scratched his head and said, "Maybe because you have studied fakes very little. For the old men in the government departments, although they love these antiques, calligraphy and paintings, the authentic products are too expensive. We really can't afford them, so we can only buy some fakes to satisfy our cravings. So when we gather on weekdays, the ones we discuss the most are actually the best fakes..."

Before meeting Lin Yu, Jiang Jingren's family had almost all fakes except for some cheap antiques. Because with his income level, he could not buy famous calligraphy and painting instruments that cost millions or tens of millions of yuan, so he had a very thorough research on the fakes.

Even now, he would not dare to bid for authentic products that he cherished too much, otherwise his old secret would have been defeated by him!

"Uncle, I have studied the fake industry thoroughly, but I have never heard of the name Yancaotang!"

Zhou Chen frowned and asked in confusion. Although their family has always only collected genuine products, in order to prevent fakes, they have already figured out the entire fake market clearly. But he had never heard of the name of Yancaotang, and even his father had never mentioned it to him!

"Then I... I don't know about this anymore. Actually, I heard from a friend in the circle that this Yancaotang said. At that time, he showed me a imitation of Tang Sancai. It was indeed first-class in skills. Anyway, in my eyes, I can't tell the truth at all!"

Jiang Jingren said with some confusion, then looked at Lin Yu helplessly, pushed the problem to Lin Yu, and said, "Or why don't my son-in-law explain it to you!"

Lin Yu grinned and said to Jiang Jingren: "Dad, it's already very difficult for you to know these things!"

As he said that, he turned to look at Master Chen and Master Qi, and smiled and said, "It is reasonable for both masters and Zhou Chen to know about this Yancaotang, because this Yancaotang was a civil organization in the late Qing Dynasty and was destroyed during the Republic of China. Their family did tell my father what he said, "It is the main thing to do antiques and fakes, and his skills are purely superb, and he is the unique leader in the fake world!"

"No wonder!"

Master Chen, Master Qi and Zhou Chen suddenly realized.

"But it's just destroyed. I haven't seen their imitations on the market?!"

Zhou Chen asked in confusion, although Yancaotang was destroyed, their things would not be destroyed, at least they would still be circulated on the market. However, Zhou Chen has been in contact with the counterfeit market for so many years and has never seen Yancaotang's works.

Lin Yu smiled faintly and said, "My father just said that although the imitation of Yancaotang is not an authentic one, it is also very valuable because of its superb skills. Most of the imitations they imitate are some extraordinary collection treasures, so even if they are fakes, they may be worth more than tens of millions or even tens of millions. Who would be willing to sell them?!"

After hearing this, Zhou Chen and the two masters couldn't help but look at each other and nodded. If it was as Lin Yu said, then this fake is indeed of great collection value!

"Not right!"

Master Chen looked at the two paintings and two brush washes on the table and said, "Mr. He, if you really say, these two paintings and two brush washes are fakes, but Lao Qi and I have studied them. The materials of these paintings and jade are very old and cannot be created just by making old ones!"

"Master Chen, this is one of the reasons why Yancaotang has an extraordinary status in the forgery world and is unparalleled!"

Lin Yu looked at Master Chen and smiled faintly, then reached out and touched the white jade carved five-dragon pattern brush on the table to wash it, then pinched the "Confucius's Training Picture" and said with a smile, "The reason why you think the sense of the age is correct is that this jade is indeed the jade from the Qing Dynasty, and this painting paper is indeed the painting paper from the Tang Dynasty!"

"ah?!"

Master Chen and Master Qi's expression changed and they were surprised when they heard this.

"The two masters may not know enough about the fake world, but Brother Zhou, you know it deeply enough, right?"

Lin Yu turned his head and smiled at Zhou Chen, "It can be said that there are people who make a living by imitating the famous products of the previous generations. Many of these people's skills have been passed down from generation to generation, and some are similar to our current family businesses. In order to maximize the benefits, these families will begin to store some fake raw materials such as paper, jade, porcelain clay, etc. from the dynasty, seal them intact and pass them on to future generations, so that future generations can use these raw materials to counterfeit them!"

"I know this!"

Zhou Chen nodded vigorously and said hurriedly, "This is also the reason why antique frauds appeared at the peak in the Ming and Qing Dynasties!"

Lin Yu nodded with a smile and continued, "In fact, after experiencing the peak of antique counterfeiting in Ming and Qing dynasties, there are very few precious papers, jades, etc. that have been passed down. At this time, it was composed of folk people. However, Yancaotang, which was backed by the big chaebol, bought all these papers and jades in his own hands. Similarly, these later counterfeits with amazing appearances and good quality are more than genuine ones!"

While Lin Yu spoke, he glanced at the fakes on the table. It was obvious that the paintings and brush washing were made of these materials, so it was so fake and real.

This is also why Lin Yu saw the green light on them when he first saw them. These things themselves are indeed of great value!

"I see!"

Zhou Chen nodded vigorously when he heard this, his eyebrows were twisted into pieces, thinking that the Great Wall Auction House was indeed extraordinary. He is worthy of being the leader of the auction house. He actually has so many things in Yancaotang.

"But Mr. He, I still don't understand!"

At this time, Master Qi stood up and said to Lin Yu, "Even if this Yancaotang really contains these raw materials, they cannot have such superb painting skills!"

He was puzzled. How could the painting skills of the painting saint Wu Daozi be able to reach people today!

"Yes, Mr. He, although the carving technique of washing the white jade carved five-dragon pattern brushes came from the Qing Palace master, it is not difficult to imitate it. As far as I know, Duan Fengnian, a god craftsman in the world today, can imitate it. However, this "Confucius's Teachings" is extraordinary. How can something from the hand of the saint of painting be imitated?"
