Antique Dealer

Chapter 87 News
On Friday, at the invitation of Li Jikai, Fang Hao and Li Mingchao went to the painting and calligraphy salon held by Li Jikai's friends. They first met with Li Jikai, and then Li Jikai led them to the club where the salon was held.

The two were waiting for Li Jikai's car at the agreed place.

Li Mingchao said with a smile: "Brother Hao, I see that the number of your fans has increased rapidly in the past two days. I think it will not be long before you can break the [-] mark. Maybe after a while, you will be called Teacher."

Fang Hao said with a smile: "It's just taking videos, how can it be so easy to become an expert?"

Li Mingchao giggled and said, "Let me tell you, if you want to become an expert, there is a very simple way."

Fang Hao looked at him with a smile: "Do you want to say, spend some money and hire a company to package it?"

As I said before, he really wants to become an expert quickly. It's very simple. He only needs to find an advertising investor to be an expert in treasure appraisal on TV, earn audition fees, collector TV appearance fees, travel around, and cooperate with auctions The company has false identification and inflated prices.

This has also led to serious consequences. In the past, antique treasure appraisal experts were objects of admiration, but today they have become synonymous with liars. This is caused by antique treasure appraisal experts themselves. An expert in antique treasure appraisal, citing classics in front of the TV, but in fact, it is only because of the teleprompter in front of him.

Li Mingchao smiled: "Yeah, isn't it very simple?"

Fang Hao said: "You don't know, if you really want to do this, you will be laughed at to death!"

"It means you are too thin-skinned."

"You have a thick skin, why don't you get the title of an expert like this?"

"There is a saying that like things gather and people are divided into groups. We are good friends, do you think I can be thick-skinned? Speaking of which, Liu Hui is the only one in our dormitory who is thick-skinned!"

Seeing that Li Mingchao mentioned Liu Hui again, Fang Hao quickly asked, "Is there any news about this kid?"

Li Mingchao said: "I heard that he applied for a scholarship."

Fang Hao didn't expect that he would hear this news, and he was disgusted: "Bah! Is he the kind of person who still has the face to apply for a scholarship?"

When Li Mingchao heard the news, he was quite surprised. Liu Hui didn't care what he wanted, but he still applied for a scholarship. He didn't know who gave him the courage.

Fang Hao went on to say: "Go back and ask the old class about it."

Li Mingyan said with a chuckle: "You don't need to worry about this matter, I guess this kid hates me now."

"Okay, I didn't expect you to have so many ways!" Now the closer the relationship with Li Mingchao is, the more Fang Hao feels that Li Mingchao has great energy, and he has some guesses in his heart.

Li Mingchao snorted: "If I hadn't always cared about the friendship with my classmates, I would have taught this kid a lesson."

"Di Di!"

The two noticed a GMC parked in front of them, and saw the window lowered. Li Jikai greeted them: "Get in the car!"

Fang Hao and Li Mingchao got into the car one after another. Fang Hao looked at the space inside the car like a curious baby.

There are only two opposite chairs, a wooden table, and two TV sets, which can accommodate four people for business conversations. The car is equipped with a crystal wine cabinet and a hidden coffee machine. The top is designed in an irregular triangle. The crescent moon stretches forward like a crescent, and the roof shines brightly under the reflection of the lights, creating a domineering yet elegant atmosphere for the whole vehicle.

Fang Hao couldn't help asking: "Mr. Li, isn't this car cheap?"

Li Ji laughed: "I have added some configurations, and it will be 300 to [-] million, but after I bought it, I regretted it a little. I usually only use it when I go out for business meetings or to put on a show. I spend part of the time eating ashes at home, if you want, I will transfer it to you at a cheaper price, how about it?"

Of course Fang Hao thanked Bumin: "You don't need it, so I don't need to say it."

Li Mingchao took a sip of water: "Mr. Li, what did you say in today's salon?"

"My friend only asked me to bring a passable painting, and I will probably comment on it at that time. I don't know what other links there are."

While talking, Li Jikai took a brocade box of calligraphy and painting from the assistant sitting next to him, and after opening it, there was a painting inside: "Fang Hao, please help me to check if it is real or not, so that if there is any problem, I will tell you Embarrassing."

"Row."

Fang Hao was also very curious about what works Li Jikai brought. Due to the limited space, he began to appreciate them bit by bit.

"In this painting, the branches of the phoenix tree are drawn with dry brushes, the leaves are directly smudged with light ink and wet ink, and the veins of the leaves are drawn with thick ink and dry ink. Ease, majestic, unique and innovative, the composition does not seek completeness but completeness, creating a lofty and vertical artistic style. It must be the authentic work of Bada Shanren."

Li Mingchao also admired this painting very enviously: "Mr. Li, you are worthy of being a great collector of calligraphy and painting. You can take out a painting casually, which is a masterpiece of Bada Shanren. The current market valuation of this painting should be [-]% tens of millions, right?"

"It's not in the tens of millions, it looks like seven or eight million."

Li Ji laughed: "As for saying that I can take out such a collection casually, then I have to wake up from my dreams? If it wasn't for my friend's request, I would still be reluctant to take it out!"

Fang Hao believed that what Li Jikai said was just modesty, but it also made him look forward to the salon for a while, hoping to see more fine paintings and calligraphy there.

More than half an hour later, the two followed Li Jikai into the clubhouse. Fang Hao noticed that there were already quite a few guests in the hall. Judging from their clothes, words and deeds, they were not all cultural people, and quite a few of them should be Is a rich businessman.

As soon as Li Jikai came in, he became the focus. Many people surrounded him and greeted him politely, but they pushed Fang Hao and Li Mingchao out instead.

"Come on, let's go over there and have a look!"

Li Mingchao pointed to the exhibition not far away.

Fang Hao saw that Li Jikai would not be able to entertain for a while, so he followed Li Mingchao. Looking around, the paintings on display here are all famous paintings, such as Shen Zhou, Wen Zhengming, Qiu Ying, Tang Yin, four great painters of the Ming Dynasty, as well as Qing Dynasty. The ancient Zhu Da, Shi Tao, Wang Hui, Zheng Banqiao, etc., are all familiar to us.

"See that one over there?" Li Mingchao said quietly.

Fang Hao looked in the direction indicated by Li Mingchao, and found that it was an old man with gray hair and a rather kind face, dressed in Chinese clothes.

Fang Hao saw that this person looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he met him, so he shook his head: "I seem to know him, but do you want to know who it is?"

Li Mingchao said: "This is Xu Zheng, don't you know him?"

Fang Hao suddenly said: "Oh, I remembered, I was on the TV show Appreciating Treasures, right?"

"Yes, this is the packaged 'Brickman'!" At the end, Li Mingchao emphasized his tone.
