Rebirth, possession in the opening game

"That's right, it's Mi Fu, the famous calligrapher of the Northern Song Dynasty!"

Looking at the questioning looks of Chen Xingping and Mu Shibo, Xu Litao nodded firmly.

Then he explained:

"Mi Fu is very accomplished in calligraphy. He is good at writing calligraphy in seal script, regular script, running script, and cursive script. He is especially good at copying the calligraphy of ancient people, and he can even copy the calligraphy of the ancients to the point of confusing the real calligraphy."

"I'm sure he copied Wang Xizhi's "Peace Note"."

Hearing Xu Litao's affirmation, Chen Xingping and Mu Shibo looked at each other. For a moment, they couldn't believe that this "Peace Note" was actually a fake?

Mu Shibo frowned and asked Xu Litao:

"Brother Xu, what evidence do you have?"

Xu Litao smiled faintly and did not answer immediately. Instead, he said in an off-topic manner:

"Wang Xizhi is known as the 'Sage of Calligraphy' in our country. Although Wang Xizhi learned from his predecessors, he did not blindly imitate, but absorbed the strengths of various calligraphers and integrated them into his own."

"Therefore, his calligraphy gestures are rich but not ostentatious, conflicting and elegant, strong and soft, and full of body yet still formal. Therefore, his calligraphy just fits the aesthetics of the Chinese people, so he is called the 'Sage of Calligraphy' in our country."

When Xu Litao said this, he looked at Mu Shibo and Chen Xingping who nodded in agreement and asked:

"I think these two seniors are very experienced in the antiques circle. They must have seen Wang Xizhi's authentic works, right?"

"Of course!"

Mu Shibo nodded and said.

Chen Xingping on the side even shouted, "Lao Mu and I have all had the honor to watch "Shangyu Tie", "Long Live Tongtian Tie" and "Hanqie Tie".

"It's a pity that these works have been collected by the National Museum, otherwise I would definitely take them!"

When Chen Xingping said this, he had a look of regret on his face.

Xu Litao looked very funny. Chen Xingping looked like he was over fifty, and he was like a naughty boy when it came to collecting.

This shows his love for antique calligraphy and painting.

"If that's the case, then it's easy to do."

Xu Litao nodded and continued:

"Mi Fu's calligraphy was influenced by five Tang people: Yan Zhenqing, Ouyang Xun, Chu Suiliang, Shen Chuanshi, and Duan Jizhan, so the style of the Jin and Tang Dynasties can be seen in his calligraphy."

"His fonts are unpredictable in stipple lines and structures, and his brush strokes are mainly side-strokes. The thickness, weight, hardness and softness of the stipples in calligraphy are constantly changing, showing a variety of changes."

As he spoke, Xu Litao pointed on the copybook, "Mr. Mu, Mr. Chen, look at these words."

"Although what Mi Fu copied is very similar, he still inevitably reveals his own calligraphy habits."

"These words are completely different from Wang Xizhi's writing. It's just that these words are scattered in the copybook. If you don't look carefully, you can't find them."

Ah!

Chen Xingping and Mu Shibo lowered their heads and looked at Xu Litao's few words on the copybook with serious expressions.

Then he looked shocked and his eyes widened in surprise.

"This is this?"

"It's a slap in the eye! Why didn't you see it just now?"

Mu Shibo and Chen Xingping had annoyed expressions on their faces. In fact, it was not their fault that they had misjudged the situation, it was just because they had preconceived ideas.

I thought this was Wang Xizhi's "Peace Note", and in my excitement, it was inevitable that I would make some mistakes.

"It is indeed Mi Fu's copy of "Peace Notes"!"

Chen Xingping and Mu Shibo checked it for a long time and confirmed that the copybook was a fake.

Mu Shibo said with a smile: "We are not the only ones who made a mistake. Emperor Qianlong, Wen Zhengming and everyone else must also have made a mistake."

"Haha, otherwise they wouldn't rub their own collection seals on it."

Chen Xingping also echoed with a smile on his face.

Although it is not the original work of Wang Xizhi, Mi Fu is not bad at all, not to mention that this copybook has the seals of Qianlong, Wen Zhengming and other historical celebrities.

Its value is equally valuable.

"Interesting, interesting!"

Then the three people guessed that Qianlong must have made a mistake in this work.

Although he had collected it, he must have collected it as an authentic work of Wang Xizhi's.

This can be seen from his evaluation of the work.

However, Qianlong probably didn't know that this rag was not Wang Xizhi's original work, but a copy of it by Mi Fu of the Northern Song Dynasty.

It was the late Qing Dynasty, and the palace was in chaos, with frequent thefts by palace residents.

Because of this, this rag was stolen out of the palace by eunuchs and maids in the late Qing Dynasty.

Of course, they didn't know the true value of the cloth.

Based on the situation at that time, the Qing Dynasty was declining day by day, and the treatment of the palace staff was also declining. It was of course the best thing to be able to steal a few things and sell them for cash.

In fact, during the late Qing Dynasty, there were too many cases of eunuchs and maids stealing their masters' belongings and selling them for money.

Because of this, all kinds of real cultural relics and good things were sold off like cabbage.

This should be the case with the "Peace Note" copied by Mi Fu. It was regarded by the palace staff as a shabby picture scroll or even a shabby baggage.

You can sell it if you give them some money. For them, what they sell is money, and what they don't sell is a burden. Once something happens, the consequences will be serious.

In this way, a good "thing" is reduced to rags.

Interestingly, after several rounds of turnover, it was bought by Xu Litao for only 1 yuan.

"What a coincidence! Brother Xu is so lucky!"

Chen Xingping looked at Xu Litao with envy and sighed.

Mu Shibo glanced at him and said angrily:

"What kind of luck? Brother Xu got it by his own skills. Can he speak?"

Before Chen Xingping could refute, Mu Shibo looked at Xu Litao with a flattering expression and said:

"Brother Xu, Old Man Chen and I estimate this piece of "Peace Note" at 3 million."

"If you put it up for auction, the price will definitely be higher. Do you want to sell it directly or auction it? It depends on what you want."

Xu Litao had no objection to the price. He didn't want to put it up for auction. It was too slow and troublesome, so he said:

"Forget about the auction. If Mu Lao can eat it, I will sell it to you."

"Hey, hey, hey! Wait!"

Before Mu Shibo could speak, Chen Xingping on the side became anxious and quickly interrupted, "If you don't speak anymore."

This copybook was taken down by the chicken thief Mu Shibo.

"Brother Xu, of course I can't miss such a good thing."

As he said that, he glanced at Mu Shibo and said, "Humph! If someone wants to steal a chicken, there is no way!"

"I will pay 3.1 million!"

When Mu Shibo saw Chen Xingping reacting, he stared at him in annoyance, blowing his beard and staring.

But after thinking about it, I regretfully shook my head and gave up.

He couldn't compare to his old friend's net worth, and besides, his bidding hurt the friendship between the two of them for many years.

"Hey, I'll go to Old Chen's house more often and look for opportunities to borrow it and watch it for a few months."

Mu Shibo was worried about Xiao Jiujiu.

Chen Xingping looked at Mu Shibo who gave up and was surprised. He thought his conscience had discovered it, so he smiled and said:

"Haha, Lao Mu Cheng gave in, who among us will follow whom? Come to my collection room more often to play in the future."

"Brother Xu, let's make a deal, hehe."

Chen Xingping rubbed his hands and said impatiently.

"Haha, Mr. Chen, don't be in a hurry."

Xu Litao smiled and shook his head, then picked up the small scimitar on the table and said:

"I think there's something fishy about this scimitar. Please help me control the eyes first."

"Oh?"

Hearing Xu Litao's words, the two of them immediately became interested. They thought it was something good and started checking it with their hands.

But after watching it for a while, Chen Xingping and Mu Shibo shook their heads in disappointment.

"It's just a broken sword from the Qing Dynasty, it has no value."

"I didn't know that the prodigal son could cast such a useless knife. The engraving on the blade and the iron ornaments on the handle are all a big failure."

"If the inlay on it were replaced by gemstones, jade or something like that, it might still be of some value."

The two made a few casual comments and stopped paying attention.

Xu Litao was a little disappointed. He wanted the two of them to help find the mechanism, but they couldn't figure it out with their eyesight and experience.

This is a machine knife with a treasure within the knife.

Xu Litao didn't want to tell them about this. It was better for him to know the information about the treasure map.

As the saying goes, you must not have the heart to harm others, and you must not have the heart to guard against others.

Money attracts people's hearts, so as not to get into unnecessary trouble.

Xu Litao put away his machete and then completed the transaction with the two of them, receiving another 3.15 million yuan.

Both parties were happy.

Xu Litao greeted them with a few polite words and then left. He first went to the tax bureau to pay a 20% personal income tax, which was nearly 6300 million.

Xu Litao didn't feel bad, after all, everyone was responsible for paying taxes and filing taxes.

Having paid so much tax shocked the tax bureau staff and other tax handlers in the tax hall.

Xu Litao found it funny when he thought about how dumbfounded they were when they heard about the tax.

"There are still 3.35 million in the account, which should be enough for the time being."

Back in the car, Xu Litao looked at the balance in his bank account, grinned, and then took out his mobile phone to do some fiddling.

Then I called Jiang Shan at the company.

"Hi boss."

Jiang Shan quickly answered the phone and said respectfully on the phone.

"Well, Manager Jiang, I have allocated 3 million funds to the company account. Please check it over there."

Xu Litao responded and then said.

Jiang Shan was stunned. She didn't expect Xu Litao to be so fast. He just said yesterday that he wanted to transfer funds to the company account, and he transferred it today.

I looked at the financial computer and sure enough the money had arrived.

"Boss, the money has arrived."

Jiang Shan was a little excited. Xu Litao's strong financial resources made her feel that the future of the company was bright.

"Ah That's good."

"Oh, by the way, I want to set up a charity fund. You, Manager Liu and Manager Zhang can help me get it done as soon as possible."

Xu Litao remembered the poem about the charity fund and quickly gave instructions to Jiang Shan.

Fortunately, the company has been established and Jiang Shan and the others are here, otherwise Xu Litao would have to wait for Zhou Run to come back from Shanghai before letting him do this.

This means that there are people working under him, and the boss sits directly in the office.

"The boss has received it, we will get it done as soon as possible."

"Well, the name of the charity fund is [Chen Tao Charity Fund]. The original charity fund is 5 million. Let's set it as a student fund for the time being."

“We will expand into other charity businesses after we improve it.”

"Okay, boss, I've written it all down. Do you have any other instructions?"

"Well, no, wait until Mr. Zhou comes back from Magic City and ask him to notify me immediately."

"Ok."
