Antique Dealer

Chapter 247 Discovery
After a while, Lu Jianyi raised his head with a bitter expression, and Jiang Jiaping fidgeted anxiously when he saw it: "You really mean it!"

When Lu Jianyi got to the point of speaking, he changed another sentence: "Jiang Shao, please call Mr. Nian, I want to ask that old gentleman for advice."

Jiang Jiaping is now in an ostrich mentality and doesn't want to make this call, but he also knows that this matter will be resolved sooner or later, so he took out his mobile phone and called Nian Kangshi with anxiety.

The phone rang more than a dozen times before Nian Kangshi picked it up. Lu Jianyi hurriedly asked for the phone, and after being polite, asked to speak to Zhu Zhiqing.

Knowing that Lu Jianyi wanted to inquire about the painting, Zhu Zhiqing repeated Fang Hao's conclusion.

Lu Jianyi and Cheng Cheng turned on the loudspeaker, and Jiang Jiaping listened beside them. Zhu Zhiqing's words seemed to pour a basin of ice water on their heads, freezing them from the head to the soles of their feet.

After a while, Lu Jianyi came back to his senses, and his voice was dry: "Old man, is it possible that the part of the painting is Lu Zhi's early creation?"

"That's a good question. I thought about it the same way, but Mr. Fang refuted this point of view from several aspects, and believed that this painting should be a fake from the Ming Dynasty..."

Lu Jianyi briefly repeated Fang Hao's point of view, which was well-founded, but Lu Jianyi was silent and unable to refute.

After all, this is an objective fact. In the Ming Dynasty, calligraphy and painting made huge profits. Some unknown calligraphers or painters made a living from it, and even some famous literati, calligraphers and painters also made a living from it.

Forgers of calligraphy and painting in the Ming Dynasty generally concealed their identities and passed on their names, so it was difficult to leave their names.However, according to historical records, there is still a fake master of calligraphy and painting left behind.For example, Wang Lai, Lu Yuan, etc., Lu Zhi, as the leader of the Wu School, naturally has many imitations, and there should be some masters in the period.

"What to do, what to do now!" Jiang Jiaping murmured anxiously.

Lu Jianyi quickly thanked Zhu Zhiqing, and then hung up the phone. He was also at a loss as to what to do with the painting in front of him.

It should be said that the inscription and inscription of this painting are all authentic works, and the painting part is also from the hands of a painter in the Ming Dynasty. The combination of the two is somewhat valuable.

But this value is nothing compared to the more than 400 million yuan paid (after discount), and it can be said that the loss is heavy.

Seeing Jiang Jiaping pulling his hair, Lu Jianyi said, "We can't wait any longer, we should call the police now."

"How long has it been? Can the police catch this group of people?" Jiang Jiaping was very desperate. He took out his mobile phone and dialed the number on it with Zhu Fuchang's business card. As expected, no one answered. He roared at Lu Jianyi: "Did you see, everyone has already run away!"

Jiang Jiaping's irrationality made Lu Jianyi very disappointed. Of course, he didn't expect much from Jiang Jiaping, but now his impression is only worse.

"So what if you run away? If you run away, don't you need to call the police? If you don't call the police, can the money be recovered?"

Jiang Jiaping pointed at Lu Jianyi, and angrily accused him, "It's all you. If it wasn't for your poor eyesight and not seeing the problem, how could I have been deceived!"

The anger in Lu Jianyi's heart also burst out: "I do have certain responsibilities, don't you? Whoever swore before coming to Fengtian that you are the main force of the appraisal, so I don't need to worry about the appraisal! The blame is on me, if you want to pinch me like a persimmon, there is no way!"

Lu Jianyi is a good-natured person, and he basically doesn't lose his temper, but once the good-natured person gets angry, it's quite scary. Jiang Jiaping was also frightened by Lu Jianyi's ferocious expression for a while.

It's just that, although Lu Jianyi is scary now, the obvious loss of more than 400 million made Jiang Jiaping even more frightened, so he immediately cheered up and quarreled with Lu Jianyi.

Fang Hao bought some local specialties from Fengtian, took the high-speed train back to the capital, and returned to the rented community in the capital after [-] o'clock in the evening, and it was getting late, so he didn't go to Tang Mingshan and the others, he had eaten in the car , not hungry yet.

It was still early to go to bed, and Shang Xiaoxuan was still working hard to read and study. After thinking about it, he still hadn't researched the secret on the wake-up clock, so he took out the wake-up clock from the safe, and continued to study.

After all the research, Fang Hao was dizzy and dizzy again, but there was still no result. Instead, he was hungry from the research, so he went to a fly restaurant outside the community for supper.

Returning to the community, when Fang Hao quickly walked to his unit, he found some people standing at the entrance of the corridor and talking a lot, and the whole building was pitch black, while the building next to him had no problems at all.

"No, is there a power outage?"

Fang Hao went up to inquire, and it turned out that the unit building he lived in might have had a sudden power outage due to a short circuit in the wires, which caught everyone off guard.

At this time, some residents who had just arrived home had to turn on their mobile phone lights and climb upstairs to go home. Of course, he could only use his mobile phone to illuminate his home.

Climbing to the second and third floors, Fang Hao could still see the smell of burnt lines after a short circuit in the corridor, and the staff of property management and electric power were rushing to repair the damaged lines.

Fang Hao asked the staff when it would be repaired, and the other party said that due to the complexity of the repair project, it is expected that the repair work will continue until midnight.

These days, life without electricity is not easy. The villa has been completed today, but the bedding has not been bought yet, and it is already very late. Fang Hao will definitely not live in it, thinking that he has a large capacity. A charging treasure is definitely no problem for emergency use.

Back home, Fang Hao subconsciously turned on the light. Of course, it was just for loneliness, so he went to find a power bank, plugged in the emergency LED light, and took a shower while there was still hot water. Fortunately, the central heating is not affected by power outages. impact, or he would freeze to death.

After taking a shower, he returned to the bedroom with the charging treasure, walked to the desk, and prepared to put the wake-up clock on the desk back into the safe.

He was walking to the desk, suddenly!A pattern flashed across the wall, and he thought something supernatural had happened, which startled him.Looking forward again, there is nothing unusual.

"Strange, is it my eyesight?"

Fang Hao scratched his head, very puzzled, what was going on, there was nothing special around the desk!
His eyes scanned the desk. When he noticed the wake-up clock on the desk, he had a flash of inspiration and thought of a possibility. Could it be the pattern reflected by the wake-up clock?
Fang Hao quickly recalled the position of himself and the emergency light in his hand, and then tried slowly. After a while, the flashing pattern on the wall appeared again.

Fang Hao recognized it immediately. It was a "Tianlu", which looked somewhat similar to the early "Kirin".

Some friends may find it strange, why are the two similar? Both "Tianlu" and "Kirin" are mythical beasts in ancient legends. The appearance of the mythical beasts often has no basis in reality and mainly comes from people's imagination.

"Tianlu" and "Kirin" are a bit similar in ancient legends, and some people even confuse them, so it is inevitable that they are somewhat similar.

But in the late Ming Dynasty, "Tianlu" and "Kirin" had different meanings. "Tianlu" is a symbol of money and wealth, and "Kirin" is a symbol of auspiciousness and auspiciousness. Naturally, the painting methods of the two must be different.

This difference is mainly reflected in two aspects: one is that "Kirin" mostly walks on the ground, while "Tianlu" mostly runs in the sky;

It can also be inferred from this that this is a Tianlu before the late Ming Dynasty, but the wake-up bell was made in the Qianlong period, so the key question is who modified the wake-up bell, or is this wake-up bell special when it was made? .

In contrast, Fang Hao felt that the latter possibility was higher, because he did not see any traces of transformation on the wake-up clock.

As for the principle that if the wake-up clock is irradiated at a certain angle, the "sky" pattern will appear on the wall, you can refer to the bronze mirror "seeing the light of the sun" in the Western Han Dynasty.

At first glance, it looks no different from ordinary bronze mirrors, but if a beam of sunlight shines on the mirror surface, reflects it and projects it on the wall, the patterns and inscriptions on the back of the mirror will miraculously appear in the light spots on the wall, as if the light shines through it. Through the bronze mirror, it seems that the patterns and characters on the back are reflected on the wall, so it is called a light-transmitting mirror.

And because there is an inscription on the outside of the pattern on the back of the bronze mirror: "Seeing the light of the sun, the world is bright", so the mirror is named "Seeing the light of the sun" light-transmitting mirror

However, it is a pity that such a magical light-transmitting mirror was lost until the Song Dynasty. After that, many famous experts tried to restore this magical technology, including Shen Kuo in the Song Dynasty and Zheng Fuguang in the Qing Dynasty.

However, from the appearance of the wake-up clock, it can be proved that this kind of technology has not been lost, at least in the Qianlong period, and even exists now.

The picture of the "sky" reflected by the wake-up clock is just the same thing if you look at it too much. Fang Hao memorized it, and while he was amazed, he was also thinking about the purpose of Yan Sanzhi giving him the wake-up bell. What does it represent.

Fang Hao thought about it, but because there were too few clues, he couldn't get any results. He was very curious, and wished he could call Yan Sanzhi now to find out the reason.

After a while, he pressed down on this idea. Since Yan Sanzhi said that he would tell him the whole story when he came back from Qiongdao, why should he be in a hurry?He also seemed too impatient.

After that, he continued to study the wake-up clock, and used a similar experimental method, and found nothing else.

The next morning, Fang Hao went to the villa to check the situation first. According to the contract, there was no problem, so he gave the remaining money to the person in charge.

The person in charge was very happy to receive the money, and immediately revealed a detail to Fang Hao. Yesterday morning, a woman brought a few people over, saying that they were the ex-wife of the original head of the household, who had objections to the sale of the villa.But she was stopped by the security guard, who asked her to negotiate with Fang Hao, or go to the court to sue.

She wanted to ask the security guard for Fang Hao's cell phone number, but the security guard didn't give it to him. She also wanted to bribe the security guard, but the security guard sternly refused.

Before Fang Hao learned from Tang Nanzhong that the original head of the household had a dispute with his ex-wife, and because the villa had all the procedures, he thought he would not come to the house, but he was hit by Tang Nanzhong's suggestion.

Fortunately, he told the person in charge and the security guard to let them pay attention. If he changed to a less responsible property, who knows what bad things will happen.

Of course, Fang Hao has all the procedures in his hands, and he is not afraid of trouble, but just finds it troublesome.If the other party dares to do something irrational, don't blame him for using violence to control violence.

After seeing off the person in charge, Fang Hao drove to the antique shop.

After getting out of the car, Fang Hao saw Tang Mingshan and Hu Jue who were already waiting at the door, and greeted them with a smile.

Tang Mingshan said with a smile: "Oh, you big boss, you are finally back."

Hu Jue greeted Fang Hao, still introverted.

Fang Hao half-jokingly said: "No way, who made me the boss, I'm busy with business! Speaking of which, you must never have imagined what happened to me..."

While opening the door, he briefly talked about the encounter with the liar.

Tang Mingshan yelled: "Damn it! Didn't you call the police and arrest that guy?"

Fang Hao spread his hands: "I just think that person is a liar who was pretending to be Teacher Xia before. I can't be sure if it is, and I can't catch a person and get all the stolen goods. How can I call the police? As for now, Mr. Zhu called me yesterday and told me , The person who took the picture has already noticed it and should go to the police.”

"Ok."

Tang Mingshan nodded, then said with a thief smile: "Do you have any grudge against the person who bought that painting?"

Fang Hao smiled and said, "How do you know?"

Tang Mingshan said: "Isn't that simple? If there is no hatred, I think you should remind the other party."

"You actually think I have such a good heart? Thank you so much!"

Fang Hao shook his head and smiled. Speaking of which, if he had no hatred with Jiang Jiazhong, would he remind him?Maybe, but this is on the premise of ensuring his own safety. For example, there were so many people on the liar's side in the living room at the time. If he reminded him, he would be causing trouble for himself, and he might be punished beat.

Fang Hao took the two of them to visit the store, and by the way, he talked about the process of his grudge with Jiang Jiaping. Tang Mingshan said that Jiang Jiaping deserved to be cheated.

Walking around in the store, Fang Hao told the two of his ideas for running the store, mainly divided into two aspects: antique sales and antique pawns. Inviting them to come over is more about taking care of the pawn business. He is mainly in charge of business in other aspects, and they only need to take care of it.

Of course, if they have the confidence to develop channels, they can also focus on the sale of antiques, and the share is definitely indispensable.

Tang Mingshan scratched his head: "Although I know a little about everything, I mainly know a little more about literature and entertainment. I think the pawn business needs to hire an experienced teacher."

Hu Jue also agreed with Tang Mingshan's opinion: "Although I have some experience in porcelain appraisal, there is still a lot to learn."

Fang Hao smiled and said: "If you don't talk about it, I will bring it up on the agenda, but in our industry, we still need to find someone who is more reliable, rather than lacking."

Tang Mingshan nodded again and again: "That's right, that's right, a friend of my uncle's, because he believed in a hired hand, he was hired by insiders and outsiders, and he was paid several million. That antique shop almost closed down."
