antique masters in modern times
Chapter 90 Little Mister
China has a vast land and abundant resources, and it is catching up with economic reforms, so various novelty things emerge one after another every day.Today, the news of cheap antiques is a thing of the past. The most popular topic nowadays is the qigong master who can cure all diseases, and who goes into business with everyone around him, and earns enough money to spend half his life in just a few months.
Therefore, when people see the name Yanyou reappearing on the headlines, their first reaction is that it looks familiar, but they need to think about it before they can remember what he has done before.
Looking at the news again, I found that this little classmate recently established a private antique restoration and exhibition hall.What's interesting is that what he exhibited is not his own collection, but someone else's - all Chinese antiques that have been wandering overseas, if they are brought back to Sijiu City and are willing to put them on display in the exhibition hall for more than ten days, they can be repaired for free and they will be used for life. maintainance.
After reading this news, people just opened their eyes: those old and antique bottles and jars of love are the same as electrical furniture, and they also need to be maintained from time to time.Looking at it again, it turns out that this exhibition hall is not opened in a newly built modern office building, but a big house in the old city. Looking at the photos, it looks very antique and tasteful, and there is no admission fee. One day I have time to visit it. .
As for repairing, most people choose to automatically ignore the past: the oldest person in the family is the old man and the old lady, and only the hospital can "fix" any problems.
For ordinary people, this exhibition hall is not grounded.To the elites in the industry, Yan You is just a junior who is a bit famous but lacks in strength.
So, as a matter of course, on the first day of the official opening of the exhibition hall, except for the relatives and friends around me, as well as the neighbors who were disturbed by the firecrackers, no other guests came to the door, and the whole day was empty.
However, this situation was also expected by Yan You, so he was neither surprised nor frustrated, and even comforted Murong Hui who was depressed: "Although I have planned this for a long time, I originally planned to establish it after graduation. If there is no accident, I should have accumulated a certain amount of funds and contacts by then to ensure the maintenance of the operation of the exhibition hall. Now that it is opened in advance, the foundation is insufficient. If there are so many customers, it will be a strange thing.”
Murong Hui said: "I know, I know, you've told me all of this. But now I'm worried about how your plan will succeed without any popularity? My grandfather has a few old items in his hand, or Let him bring it over to cheer you up?"
Yan You said meaningfully: "I don't need those. This is just a dojo, and it can also be called a stage. We just need to let others know that there is such a place. When the time comes, we can use it to launch that thing .No matter how many guests there are, it will not affect the value of that item."
Murong Hui is aware of these arrangements, but he cares about them, and when things come to an end, he is not as calm as Yan You.Hearing Yanyou's explanation again, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed by his frizziness, so he took advantage of the situation to change the subject: "Xiaoyan, Professor Ying and Professor Chen are helping to restore the mural, and I can do it too."
"You?" Yan You tilted his head and looked at him, and finally pointed to the rosewood diamond grid board that was dripping with oil and water, "You learn to brush tung oil first."
A few days ago, after listening to Yanyou's plan, Mr. Ying immediately decided not to leave the city for the time being, and to do everything according to Yanyou's advice.
The first step of the plan is to open the restored exhibition hall that Yan You had thought about earlier, and then a venue is needed.When everyone was worrying about the source of the rent, Murong Hui said with a blunt face that he covered all the venue expenses.
The location he provided was naturally the ancestral home in the city.Clean out an unused cross-courtyard, and then take out the antique gadgets in the secret room and put them on display. There is no need to design and arrange them separately. It is a natural and ancient exhibition hall.
Recently, Yan You has no time to go shopping and pick up leaks. When he came to modern times, he spent most of his time restoring other people's collections.But after all, it is the place I am in charge of, and when I enter the venue with a bag, nothing belongs to me, which is always not very exciting for collectors.
After thinking about it, Yan You brought over the rosewood partitions that were removed from the beams when rebuilding the new house, and planned to build a studio in the large main room.When there are more guests in the future, some antique maintenance methods can be demonstrated on the spot.
Just as goldware, copperware, and painted objects need regular anti-oxidation maintenance, wood products also need maintenance.Murong Hui volunteered to take over the process of applying tung oil, but the result was messy, which made Yan You shake his head.
Murong Hui, who was being ridiculed, said embarrassingly: "Ahem, well, there is a specialization in art. I'm not good at this kind of delicate work, but I didn't change a word of the news you asked me to pass on, and managed to pass it on until the sun never sets. I guess Fusco is jumping now, right?"
"He's not going to jump. I deliberately made up those rumors so that—"
Speaking of this, Yan You suddenly saw someone coming in, so he changed his words vigilantly: "Who--ah, Miss Mo, why are you here?"
The visitor was none other than Mo Lanlan, who had had a great time in Forty-Nine City recently.After visiting the Forbidden City, she announced that she would ask her eldest brother to change the assignment location to Sijiu City, so that she could visit those magnificent treasures every week in the future.
After entering the door, she looked around, and saw that there was no one else except Yan You and Murong Hui, and it seemed that even the people who came to cheer in the morning had already left, so she sighed and said, "Little brother Yan, I said earlier that I would find someone to come and help me." You want to support me, but you don’t want to. Fortunately, I had the foresight, so I finally asked Grandpa for help. Come on, this should be the first business you received, right? It has special meaning to Grandpa, so be careful not to lose it.”
Murong Hui interjected, "Don't worry, I got the latest electronic anti-theft device from my father, and there will be absolutely no problems."
Although there is no need for popularity for the time being, Yanyou has always been grateful to others for their kindness.
He thanked him and took a look at the things, but was surprised: the box in his hand was actually the half of the jewelry box he sold to Mr. Mo back then.After bringing it back to Hong Kong Island, Mr. Mo must have found someone else to repair it, re-carved a cover, and inlaid light-colored rice beads on the seven stars, which is very beautifully decorated.
Before he had time to open it, Mo Lanlan asked again: "Ah, I forgot to ask you, you should know how to clean pearls, right? Grandpa brought this pearl with him when he was young, and our family has always called it the night pearl. It's a pity In the past few years, the pearl has become more and more dimmer, and it is probably about to expire. But Grandpa is reluctant to part with it, so he still looks for someone to clean it up."
She didn't understand the terminology, so she casually said that it was about to expire. In fact, in the words of the jewelry industry, it means that the lifespan of the beads is about to expire.Pearls are no different than other accessories. No matter how perfect a pearl is, it will slowly turn yellow and black with age, lose its luster, and finally dry out and turn into powder.Even the best maintenance will only delay the process by a few years.
Yanyou had heard the story of this pearl from Mo Lao Mo Pingjiang a long time ago, and knew that it contained the longing for the old man, and this was the real reason why Mo Pingjiang was reluctant to part with it.
"Don't worry, Ms. Mo, I know a thing or two about this."
While talking, Yan You opened the box, took out the pearl and looked at it carefully.
There is an old saying in the industry, "seven-point pearls, eight-point treasures", which means that if a pearl weighs more than eight points, it is an inexhaustible treasure. From this, it can be seen that eight-point pearls are very rare.
Seeing that although the palm is soft white and close to silver, the color is slightly dull, and there are several slightly sunken pearls on the original round pearl body, Yan You weighed the weight, and estimated that the pearl was about the same weight when it was first collected. There are eight points.Seeing that it can still emit such brilliance after so many years, it is conceivable that it must be a real jewel in those days, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a night pearl.
Seeing Yan You's concentration on watching, Mo Lanlan couldn't help but feel a little proud: "How about it? It's not bad. I heard from my grandfather that it used to be maintained once every six months, but now it needs to be cleaned almost once a month, otherwise it will turn yellow."
"It's not only yellow, but also has some cotton-like fine lines." Yanyou looked at it with a magnifying glass, "There is a way to temporarily restore the luster and smooth the cracks, but I have to take it home to do it."
"Oh? Aren't all your tools here?" Mo Lanlan pointed to the table curiously.
Yan You laughed and said: "It's not necessary to use these—it's not right, it should be said that only a small knife is needed. First use the small knife to poke the skin a few times, then put the Sichuan white wax, duck oil and pearls together in a bowl and put it on the steamer. Steaming. Be sure to use firewood, cook slowly over a warm fire, let the wax and oil gradually soak into the pearl. When the heat is up, rub it with monkey skin to brighten. After this set of procedures, the pearl can maintain its luster for one or two years, and at the same time It is estimated to prolong life by another four to six years."
After hearing that, Mo Lanlan was very happy: "Is it really so miraculous? Then Grandpa will be very happy, little brother Yan, how about we go to your house right away?"
While talking, suddenly a person came in from outside the door, and without saying a word, he picked up his camera and took photos everywhere.
This person came so suddenly that Yan You and the others didn't react for a while.It wasn't until the man aimed at the pearl in Yan You's hand and pressed the shutter button fiercely, and was stabbed by the spotlight, that Murong Hui vigilantly stepped forward to stop him: "What are you doing!"
The man hung the camera around his neck, and asked innocently: "Isn't this museum open today, and visitors are allowed?"
Murong Hui asked doubtfully, "Are you here to visit?"
"That's right, I saw the photos here in the newspaper, and I fell in love with them immediately, so I wanted to take some pictures myself. Ah, I forgot to introduce myself, I'm a photography enthusiast."
After all, the portrait looked like it had just seen Mo Lanlan, its eyes lit up, and it leaned forward with joy on its face: "Girl, you are so beautiful, would you like to be my model? I promise to make you look better in the photo The scenery is more beautiful."
Now Mo Lanlan was full of pearls, so she said no indifferently, and turned her head to urge Yanyou.
Although Murong Hui felt that this person was sneaky and something was wrong, but he couldn't find any evidence, so he just let him go.
In the end, the man was still not happy, so he had to look around the yard again before walking away satisfied.
Being disturbed by this thoughtless stranger, coupled with Mo Lanlan's repeated urging, Yan You and Murong Hui discussed it and decided to close the door early and go home.One is to restore the pearl, and the other is to see how far Yinglao and Chen Boyi, who are sorting out the jade fragments, have progressed.
Moranlan has been in a state of excitement ever since she learned that pearls can prolong life.On the way back to Yan's house by taxi, she chattered a lot about this pearl.When the car stopped in front of a traffic light, she accidentally looked up and saw the clock repair stall opposite, she was taken aback for a moment.
After a while, she suddenly covered her mouth, her eyes widened, and she looked in disbelief: "God, I remembered! The old man I met at the Sunbuset Airport that day was the one who gave the pearl box to grandpa." People! Grandpa has always carried his photo in his pocket watch, and no one is allowed to touch it. I was curious and peeked at it when I was in middle school, and he scolded me badly, so I was so impressed!"
"Really." Yan You also remembered that Mo Pingjiang had been obsessed with that little gentleman for decades, "But it's just a one-sided relationship, so I'm afraid we won't be able to find him?"
But he forgot that the Mo family is one of the richest people on Hong Kong Island. Once they catch clues, they can search for them at any cost.
I only heard Mo Lanlan say: "I asked my eldest brother to find a way to get a list of Chinese men who entered and exited the airport that day. At worst, we will visit each door one by one, and we must fulfill Grandpa's wish! Although he rarely mentions it, we all know that he The greatest wish in life is to see that person again."
While speaking, Mo Lanlan was so excited that he forgot that he was still in the car and stood up abruptly.As a result, there was a thud, rubbing his head and tears streaming down his face.
However, this made her calm down a bit: "It hurts, hurts... let's fix the pearl first, and call again at night. Big brother must be sleeping now."
The case is still unsolved, and Zhong Gui's office is still in a sealed state, but people come in and out of the next few rooms from time to time, cleaning up various materials.
A man was sitting alone in an office. It was the photographer who had just appeared in the Antique Restoration Exhibition Hall.He quickly scanned, adjusted and printed the photos he had just developed, and then sent them to the other side of the ocean through a fax machine.
Putting the last photo into the computer, he called his boss: "Doctor, Yanyou's exhibition hall is equipped with the latest anti-theft system, which can only be cracked destructively. In order not to arouse their suspicion, I tried to I went in and took some photos, please take a look."
He is a Chinese employee of Plantagenet, who was dispatched to China by Fusco a few days ago to deal with the company's legacy issues.At the same time, he also accepted Xiang Wen's arrangement in private, and planned to give Yan You and Yun Lv a warning, telling them to stop and stop making trouble.
However, Yanyou's opening of an antique restoration exhibition hall was far beyond Xiang Wen's expectations.Based on his previous behavior, he believed that Yanyou's move must have deep meaning, but he dared not act rashly, and asked the employee to find out the truth first.
At that moment, he responded lightly, quickly looked at the photos sent back by his subordinates, and kept deliberating in his mind: Did Yan You do this simply because he wanted to become famous as a teenager, or did he really have the same goal as himself?
To tell the truth, he hoped it was the former, that would be much easier.If it was the latter, he would have to be distracted to deal with this overly smart young man.After all, although Yanyou is smart, his understanding of gorse is far inferior to his own. The asymmetry of information will only lead to failure, which will affect his plan.
Before reaching a conclusion, suddenly, his eyes were fixed on a certain photo.At that moment, the hands of this old man with a deep city mansion trembled violently, and his sharp eyes were replaced by shock.
After hearing no sound for a long time, the employees on Huaxia's side thought that the phone was malfunctioning again.He said hello a few times without hope, and was just about to pick up the phone when he heard the voice again.
If it wasn't the doctor's special line, he almost thought it was answered by a different person.Since joining the company for several years, Dr. Xiang has been a calm and rational spokesperson. He has never heard the other party be so eager and nervous: "Did you take these photos today?"
"Yes, Doctor."
"Where is this pearl? And the case where the pearl is placed? Are they all Yanyou's own?"
The employee thought about it for a moment and said: "No, there is another lady present. I stole their conversation, and she is the owner of this pearl. After I left, I checked by the way. She is from Hong Kong Island, and her name is Moran. Lan seems to be Yanyou's friend."
"Mo..."
Xiang Wen only said one word, and fell silent again.The employees were very puzzled, but they dared not ask questions.
It wasn't until the hand holding the receiver became numb that he finally heard the doctor's instructions: "Stop all actions, and do what Fusco entrusted to you first."
"...Okay." The employee was even more puzzled.But all along, he was the one who helped Xiang Wen with some small favors within his authority, and then got a generous reward. To avoid getting too involved, he never asked any more questions.Get used to it, and although he didn't understand why Xiang Wen stopped suddenly this time, he wisely didn't ask.
On this side, Xiang Wen cut off the phone, wiped his face heavily, and then looked at the photo in his hand without moving for a long time.It wasn't until the phone rang again that it was like waking up from a dream, and the eyes gradually regained clarity.
It looks like the number is from Fusco.An urgent call in the middle of the night is very rare for this third-generation ancestor who has always been proud of himself.Xiang Wen pondered for a moment before answering the phone.
Immediately, Fusco's drunken voice came from the other end: "Doctor, there are new rumors again. Who is going to make things difficult for me?"
"You mean the new gossip about fakes?"
"That's right, it's ridiculous. I actually said that I ordered the counterfeit to be made, and even made up the location. I said that I arranged a studio in Huaxia Guangzhou and hired several Chinese people to fabricate the counterfeit."
Xiang Wen has heard about this, but not in such detail.Hearing the word Guangzhou, I suddenly thought of Yanyou.According to the investigation results, Yunlu is Yanyou's fellow apprentice, and he himself is the maker of the counterfeit.Combining the recent events, Xiang Wen felt that the rumors had something to do with Yan You.Thinking about it further, maybe they also found out the old account of the meteorite.
But doing so seems pointless.Mere rumors, which can be suppressed with a little effort, are useless except to make Fusco feel troubled and upset.
Yan You should not be the kind of idiot who thinks that he can defeat his opponent with a few rumors, Xiang Wen thinks that he has other things to rely on.But what would that be?Will it have something to do with his recently restored gallery?Also, he and the Mo family are...
Looks like I haven't done enough research.In the past, he thought that Yan You was just a small character, and he would be kicked out of this battle sooner or later, so there was no need to understand it deeply.Now it seems that maybe that was a wrong decision.
Thoughts wandered, Xiang Wen forgot to answer for a moment.Fusco, who hadn't waited for a reply for a long time, spoke louder, but seemed to be a little less drunk: "Doctor, are you also wondering? Rumors keep coming, do you also feel that someone is targeting us?"
"...I don't think you need to mind too much." After thinking for a moment, Xiang Wen finally said: "You know, some people are jealous that our profit is not a day or two. But the auction house has been developing steadily in the past few years. If there is any problem, they can't take advantage of it. This time the counterfeit incident happened suddenly, most of the time someone wanted to take the opportunity to make trouble. But you reacted quickly and immediately promised to compensate the buyer at full price, and the buyer did not pursue it. Coupled with the upcoming exhibition of the Royal Queen's collection, this is the perfect crisis PR. Since it is impeccable, they can only grind their lips. Just wait for the exhibition to start, and the buyer will shake you in front of the media hand, and all rumors will disappear."
As the leader of the auction house, Fusco naturally has his own advantages.He was keenly aware of something wrong, but after hearing what Xiang Wen said, his original thoughts began to waver again.For the past ten years, Xiang Wen has devoted himself to making suggestions for the organization, and Fusco even trusts him more than his own children.
Xiang Wen said that it was the slander of an incompetent and jealous person, since there is no substantive attack, there is nothing to be afraid of.Fusco felt that it made sense, so he put the matter aside and no longer worried about it: "I see. Doctor, it's always so comforting to talk to you. By the way, that person wants to see Yubi, For the sake of crisis public relations, extend the time to 3 minutes."
After calming down Fusco's suspicion, Xiang Wen took a last look at the faxed photo and locked it in a drawer.Finally, he picked up a document bag that had been prepared, weighed it, and put it in.
Then, he took his coat, drove to an automatic phone booth a few blocks away from his home, and dialed a number: "Hello, officer... No, no, I want to tell you that our meeting will be changed... The situation has changed, I don't want to explain too much... But you have to do me a favor. I know you have been stationed in Hong Kong Island, and it is not difficult to get some personal information from there?... Don't rush to evade, Before [-], the administrative power of Hong Kong Island was still in the hands of the sun never set. Besides, I provided you with the evidence that has been traced for many years, shouldn't I ask for some rewards?...Here again, I want to compare my identity to the detection The case is what you should care about...Then I will take it as your acquiescence, please send the information to the place I specify within two days. Then, good night, officer."
The night was dark, but after returning home, Xiang Wen didn't seize the last two or three hours of rest. Instead, he opened the closet, took out a pocket watch from the pocket of a long gown from his youth, held it in his hand, and sat there until dawn with a blank expression on his face.
If Mo Lanlan was here, it would be very strange: why would the pocket watch that grandpa regarded as a treasure appear here?
The next few days were uneventful.
Before the treasures borrowed from the royal family were locked in the safe, Pei Xiuyuan got a close-up view of Magu's birthday jade carving as he wished, and he was full of praise.
Although he kept complaining that the time was too short during the following lunch time, when Xiang Wen, who accompanied the meal, extended the invitation again, he still readily assured that he would attend the opening ceremony on time.
Thinking that rumors would soon be shattered by powerful facts, Fusco regained the sense of the overall situation, and felt that rumors were nothing to fear.
Even when the pale secretary presented a newspaper with some important news, he just took it as a joke and laughed it off: "The mural that my grandfather dedicated to Her Majesty the Queen is a fake? These people's imaginations are getting richer and richer." Yes. Probably seeing that I didn’t respond, I couldn’t hold back and made a stupid move. If they spread rumors on the paper media in the first place, maybe I would really have a headache. But now—”
He threw the newspaper back on the secretary's tray contemptuously: "Issue a clarification statement, and then ignore whatever they say. When the exhibition opens and the public sees the exquisite murals, all rumors will be self-defeating. "
He completely believed in Xiang Wen's judgment, and felt that this was just the last struggle of the jealous man before he was doomed to fail.
As everyone knows, in the same building, Xiang Wen has the same newspaper in his hand.
After reading it, he picked up a stack of documents next to him and pulled out a large form.
This form not only posted photos under the names and identities of the Mo family, but also attached people who were close to them, which was very detailed.
Although he has seen it many times, Xiang Wen still looks at it very carefully like the first time.
The eyes moved from Mo Pingjiang to the eldest grandson Mo Yunfeng, and then moved along a thick red line to a name called Murong Xi, paused for a while on the words "recently developed into a lover relationship", and then slid to another name, Granddaughter Moranlan.
In her friend column, there is also a red line marking Yan You, and it is also marked "I flew to Sijiu City half a month ago to meet, and I have not left China yet."
Let Ms. Mo Jiasun go to meet in person, probably not just ordinary friends, right?Maybe, Yanyou is already Mo Lanlan's boyfriend.
Although it seems that Yan You is just a poor boy on the surface, Xiang Wen has learned from the investigation that he has worshiped the famous archaeologist Ying Lao as his teacher, and with his own talent, he has a bright future in the future. Good match.
This form was made by Xiang Wen by combining the information of the Mo family that Xiang Wen had obtained from the police, and the information obtained by Huaxia's internal response staff.However, now is not an era where high technology is pervasive. Yan You has a good friend who is very skilled, and that employee can only find out so far with all his efforts.
With the incomplete information, Xiang Wen came up with the most common deduction.
When he found out that Yan You was a student of Yingsheng, he immediately understood the reason: the game that seemed to be aimed at Xu Shinian, but in fact, Xiang Zhuang's sword dance was aimed at Pei Gong was exactly what he set up at Fusco's request.Yanyou carried gorse with Gorse for the sake of the teacher, which is admirable courage.And being able to find out this step proves that he is indeed superior.
Since Yanyou is the grandson-in-law of the Mo family, maybe I can change my plan and help him.
Perhaps, this will be the last intersection of "their" in this life.Although, the person I care about the most may never know.
Just like back then, he had no idea how much he had paid.Mo Pingjiang's father was accused of seducing students, and he was doomed, and he could no longer stay in school.
At the moment he dropped out of school, he thought it was the ultimate humiliation, but after returning to his hometown, he was shocked to find that even the people in his hometown had heard of it.The Mo family left China, and he couldn't find Mo Pingjiang, and he couldn't face the strange eyes and endless pointers from his relatives and friends, so he had to choose to travel across the ocean.
He is not a sage who resigned himself to doing nothing. Half his life has been up and down, which made him deeply hate Mo Pingjiang's father.But for that awkward young master who once ran all over the city just to find a pair of pocket watches that he accidentally mentioned, he obviously spent a lot of effort, but when he gave it to him, he put on a casual look, but he couldn't give birth to it. half to blame.
Even after many years, they are not young anymore, and they will see each other indefinitely. Once encountering someone or something related to Mo Pingjiang, he still can't help but back down step by step.Just like back then, always involuntarily, putting that duplicitous young master first in everything.
According to the investigation, according to Mo Lanlan's few words and Mo Pingjiang's whereabouts in the first half of the year, Yan You should have met this future grandfather, and Mo Pingjiang admired him quite a lot.
That being the case, there is no harm in letting Yan You get what he wanted. Anyway, he didn't intend to make a high-profile announcement after dealing with Gorse, to strive for a "reputation", but it's better to let Yan You.Mo Pingjiang should be happy to know that the young man he valued has this method, right?
However, as far as the current situation is concerned, the young man's chances of winning are really slim.You might as well modify your original plan slightly, and act secretly to cooperate.
Thinking of this, Xiang Wen fell into deep thought again, tirelessly deliberating over every detail of the plan, wondering how to make the most appropriate arrangement.
But what he didn't expect was that on the day of the royal collection exhibition, Huaxia broke out a piece of news that shocked the world.
Yan You, a student of the Department of Archeology at Peking University, claimed that the imitation of the jade carvings of Magu’s birthday in the royal family’s collection, many of which were broken, were bought by one of his friends and elders in the early years, and are now stored in his private restoration exhibition hall, which has been restored complete.
And the matter of Michael saving the treasure back then was purely a rumor.The evidence is that he has the original treasure stealing contract signed by Michael and Zhong Simian in his hand!
Because there were warlords stationed near the palace at that time, Michael, a foreigner, was too eye-catching, so he made a written agreement with Zhong Simian to ask Zhong to steal for him at a price of [-] silver dollars.
Because the mural was too big, Zhong Simian, who was greedy for profit, simply chopped it up and brought it out.But afterward, the restoration master could not be found, so the fragments had to be taken to Sunset.But there was a storm on the way, and the real murals were lost, and they went back to China.Michael's eldest son, unwilling to get nothing, forged a forgery based on a photo of the intact mural, claiming that his father had bought it from thieves.
I don't know whether it was because of a disturbed conscience, or for other reasons, Zhong Simian, who left Huaxia and moved to Sunset before liberation, not only kept the contract intact, but also wrote down the whole story.
After Yanyou got this document accidentally, he felt that the matter was important, and he also thought that the genuine product was collected by a friend, and the evidence happened to be in his own hands. It was God's will, so he made it public.
After reading the report, Xiang Wen was shocked and speechless for a long time.
The seemingly ineffective actions of Yanyou before have now been explained: the theory of meteorites and fakes is just a smoke bomb, the purpose is to paralyze Fusco, so that when he hears the rumor that Magu’s birthday jade carving is also a fake , will not pursue it with any fuss.
Everything is for today - when the exhibition is about to start, Fusco thinks that Plantagenet is about to get rid of the negative influence, and when the position in the industry is more stable, give him a head-on blow!
God willing?
Listening to the sound of Scottish bagpipes celebrating the opening of the exhibition in the hall, Xiang Wen standing in the inner room looked at the contract photo in the newspaper and smiled wryly.
It is indeed God's will. With this evidence in hand, Fusco may never have a chance to stand up.My previous worries were purely unnecessary.
Therefore, when people see the name Yanyou reappearing on the headlines, their first reaction is that it looks familiar, but they need to think about it before they can remember what he has done before.
Looking at the news again, I found that this little classmate recently established a private antique restoration and exhibition hall.What's interesting is that what he exhibited is not his own collection, but someone else's - all Chinese antiques that have been wandering overseas, if they are brought back to Sijiu City and are willing to put them on display in the exhibition hall for more than ten days, they can be repaired for free and they will be used for life. maintainance.
After reading this news, people just opened their eyes: those old and antique bottles and jars of love are the same as electrical furniture, and they also need to be maintained from time to time.Looking at it again, it turns out that this exhibition hall is not opened in a newly built modern office building, but a big house in the old city. Looking at the photos, it looks very antique and tasteful, and there is no admission fee. One day I have time to visit it. .
As for repairing, most people choose to automatically ignore the past: the oldest person in the family is the old man and the old lady, and only the hospital can "fix" any problems.
For ordinary people, this exhibition hall is not grounded.To the elites in the industry, Yan You is just a junior who is a bit famous but lacks in strength.
So, as a matter of course, on the first day of the official opening of the exhibition hall, except for the relatives and friends around me, as well as the neighbors who were disturbed by the firecrackers, no other guests came to the door, and the whole day was empty.
However, this situation was also expected by Yan You, so he was neither surprised nor frustrated, and even comforted Murong Hui who was depressed: "Although I have planned this for a long time, I originally planned to establish it after graduation. If there is no accident, I should have accumulated a certain amount of funds and contacts by then to ensure the maintenance of the operation of the exhibition hall. Now that it is opened in advance, the foundation is insufficient. If there are so many customers, it will be a strange thing.”
Murong Hui said: "I know, I know, you've told me all of this. But now I'm worried about how your plan will succeed without any popularity? My grandfather has a few old items in his hand, or Let him bring it over to cheer you up?"
Yan You said meaningfully: "I don't need those. This is just a dojo, and it can also be called a stage. We just need to let others know that there is such a place. When the time comes, we can use it to launch that thing .No matter how many guests there are, it will not affect the value of that item."
Murong Hui is aware of these arrangements, but he cares about them, and when things come to an end, he is not as calm as Yan You.Hearing Yanyou's explanation again, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed by his frizziness, so he took advantage of the situation to change the subject: "Xiaoyan, Professor Ying and Professor Chen are helping to restore the mural, and I can do it too."
"You?" Yan You tilted his head and looked at him, and finally pointed to the rosewood diamond grid board that was dripping with oil and water, "You learn to brush tung oil first."
A few days ago, after listening to Yanyou's plan, Mr. Ying immediately decided not to leave the city for the time being, and to do everything according to Yanyou's advice.
The first step of the plan is to open the restored exhibition hall that Yan You had thought about earlier, and then a venue is needed.When everyone was worrying about the source of the rent, Murong Hui said with a blunt face that he covered all the venue expenses.
The location he provided was naturally the ancestral home in the city.Clean out an unused cross-courtyard, and then take out the antique gadgets in the secret room and put them on display. There is no need to design and arrange them separately. It is a natural and ancient exhibition hall.
Recently, Yan You has no time to go shopping and pick up leaks. When he came to modern times, he spent most of his time restoring other people's collections.But after all, it is the place I am in charge of, and when I enter the venue with a bag, nothing belongs to me, which is always not very exciting for collectors.
After thinking about it, Yan You brought over the rosewood partitions that were removed from the beams when rebuilding the new house, and planned to build a studio in the large main room.When there are more guests in the future, some antique maintenance methods can be demonstrated on the spot.
Just as goldware, copperware, and painted objects need regular anti-oxidation maintenance, wood products also need maintenance.Murong Hui volunteered to take over the process of applying tung oil, but the result was messy, which made Yan You shake his head.
Murong Hui, who was being ridiculed, said embarrassingly: "Ahem, well, there is a specialization in art. I'm not good at this kind of delicate work, but I didn't change a word of the news you asked me to pass on, and managed to pass it on until the sun never sets. I guess Fusco is jumping now, right?"
"He's not going to jump. I deliberately made up those rumors so that—"
Speaking of this, Yan You suddenly saw someone coming in, so he changed his words vigilantly: "Who--ah, Miss Mo, why are you here?"
The visitor was none other than Mo Lanlan, who had had a great time in Forty-Nine City recently.After visiting the Forbidden City, she announced that she would ask her eldest brother to change the assignment location to Sijiu City, so that she could visit those magnificent treasures every week in the future.
After entering the door, she looked around, and saw that there was no one else except Yan You and Murong Hui, and it seemed that even the people who came to cheer in the morning had already left, so she sighed and said, "Little brother Yan, I said earlier that I would find someone to come and help me." You want to support me, but you don’t want to. Fortunately, I had the foresight, so I finally asked Grandpa for help. Come on, this should be the first business you received, right? It has special meaning to Grandpa, so be careful not to lose it.”
Murong Hui interjected, "Don't worry, I got the latest electronic anti-theft device from my father, and there will be absolutely no problems."
Although there is no need for popularity for the time being, Yanyou has always been grateful to others for their kindness.
He thanked him and took a look at the things, but was surprised: the box in his hand was actually the half of the jewelry box he sold to Mr. Mo back then.After bringing it back to Hong Kong Island, Mr. Mo must have found someone else to repair it, re-carved a cover, and inlaid light-colored rice beads on the seven stars, which is very beautifully decorated.
Before he had time to open it, Mo Lanlan asked again: "Ah, I forgot to ask you, you should know how to clean pearls, right? Grandpa brought this pearl with him when he was young, and our family has always called it the night pearl. It's a pity In the past few years, the pearl has become more and more dimmer, and it is probably about to expire. But Grandpa is reluctant to part with it, so he still looks for someone to clean it up."
She didn't understand the terminology, so she casually said that it was about to expire. In fact, in the words of the jewelry industry, it means that the lifespan of the beads is about to expire.Pearls are no different than other accessories. No matter how perfect a pearl is, it will slowly turn yellow and black with age, lose its luster, and finally dry out and turn into powder.Even the best maintenance will only delay the process by a few years.
Yanyou had heard the story of this pearl from Mo Lao Mo Pingjiang a long time ago, and knew that it contained the longing for the old man, and this was the real reason why Mo Pingjiang was reluctant to part with it.
"Don't worry, Ms. Mo, I know a thing or two about this."
While talking, Yan You opened the box, took out the pearl and looked at it carefully.
There is an old saying in the industry, "seven-point pearls, eight-point treasures", which means that if a pearl weighs more than eight points, it is an inexhaustible treasure. From this, it can be seen that eight-point pearls are very rare.
Seeing that although the palm is soft white and close to silver, the color is slightly dull, and there are several slightly sunken pearls on the original round pearl body, Yan You weighed the weight, and estimated that the pearl was about the same weight when it was first collected. There are eight points.Seeing that it can still emit such brilliance after so many years, it is conceivable that it must be a real jewel in those days, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a night pearl.
Seeing Yan You's concentration on watching, Mo Lanlan couldn't help but feel a little proud: "How about it? It's not bad. I heard from my grandfather that it used to be maintained once every six months, but now it needs to be cleaned almost once a month, otherwise it will turn yellow."
"It's not only yellow, but also has some cotton-like fine lines." Yanyou looked at it with a magnifying glass, "There is a way to temporarily restore the luster and smooth the cracks, but I have to take it home to do it."
"Oh? Aren't all your tools here?" Mo Lanlan pointed to the table curiously.
Yan You laughed and said: "It's not necessary to use these—it's not right, it should be said that only a small knife is needed. First use the small knife to poke the skin a few times, then put the Sichuan white wax, duck oil and pearls together in a bowl and put it on the steamer. Steaming. Be sure to use firewood, cook slowly over a warm fire, let the wax and oil gradually soak into the pearl. When the heat is up, rub it with monkey skin to brighten. After this set of procedures, the pearl can maintain its luster for one or two years, and at the same time It is estimated to prolong life by another four to six years."
After hearing that, Mo Lanlan was very happy: "Is it really so miraculous? Then Grandpa will be very happy, little brother Yan, how about we go to your house right away?"
While talking, suddenly a person came in from outside the door, and without saying a word, he picked up his camera and took photos everywhere.
This person came so suddenly that Yan You and the others didn't react for a while.It wasn't until the man aimed at the pearl in Yan You's hand and pressed the shutter button fiercely, and was stabbed by the spotlight, that Murong Hui vigilantly stepped forward to stop him: "What are you doing!"
The man hung the camera around his neck, and asked innocently: "Isn't this museum open today, and visitors are allowed?"
Murong Hui asked doubtfully, "Are you here to visit?"
"That's right, I saw the photos here in the newspaper, and I fell in love with them immediately, so I wanted to take some pictures myself. Ah, I forgot to introduce myself, I'm a photography enthusiast."
After all, the portrait looked like it had just seen Mo Lanlan, its eyes lit up, and it leaned forward with joy on its face: "Girl, you are so beautiful, would you like to be my model? I promise to make you look better in the photo The scenery is more beautiful."
Now Mo Lanlan was full of pearls, so she said no indifferently, and turned her head to urge Yanyou.
Although Murong Hui felt that this person was sneaky and something was wrong, but he couldn't find any evidence, so he just let him go.
In the end, the man was still not happy, so he had to look around the yard again before walking away satisfied.
Being disturbed by this thoughtless stranger, coupled with Mo Lanlan's repeated urging, Yan You and Murong Hui discussed it and decided to close the door early and go home.One is to restore the pearl, and the other is to see how far Yinglao and Chen Boyi, who are sorting out the jade fragments, have progressed.
Moranlan has been in a state of excitement ever since she learned that pearls can prolong life.On the way back to Yan's house by taxi, she chattered a lot about this pearl.When the car stopped in front of a traffic light, she accidentally looked up and saw the clock repair stall opposite, she was taken aback for a moment.
After a while, she suddenly covered her mouth, her eyes widened, and she looked in disbelief: "God, I remembered! The old man I met at the Sunbuset Airport that day was the one who gave the pearl box to grandpa." People! Grandpa has always carried his photo in his pocket watch, and no one is allowed to touch it. I was curious and peeked at it when I was in middle school, and he scolded me badly, so I was so impressed!"
"Really." Yan You also remembered that Mo Pingjiang had been obsessed with that little gentleman for decades, "But it's just a one-sided relationship, so I'm afraid we won't be able to find him?"
But he forgot that the Mo family is one of the richest people on Hong Kong Island. Once they catch clues, they can search for them at any cost.
I only heard Mo Lanlan say: "I asked my eldest brother to find a way to get a list of Chinese men who entered and exited the airport that day. At worst, we will visit each door one by one, and we must fulfill Grandpa's wish! Although he rarely mentions it, we all know that he The greatest wish in life is to see that person again."
While speaking, Mo Lanlan was so excited that he forgot that he was still in the car and stood up abruptly.As a result, there was a thud, rubbing his head and tears streaming down his face.
However, this made her calm down a bit: "It hurts, hurts... let's fix the pearl first, and call again at night. Big brother must be sleeping now."
The case is still unsolved, and Zhong Gui's office is still in a sealed state, but people come in and out of the next few rooms from time to time, cleaning up various materials.
A man was sitting alone in an office. It was the photographer who had just appeared in the Antique Restoration Exhibition Hall.He quickly scanned, adjusted and printed the photos he had just developed, and then sent them to the other side of the ocean through a fax machine.
Putting the last photo into the computer, he called his boss: "Doctor, Yanyou's exhibition hall is equipped with the latest anti-theft system, which can only be cracked destructively. In order not to arouse their suspicion, I tried to I went in and took some photos, please take a look."
He is a Chinese employee of Plantagenet, who was dispatched to China by Fusco a few days ago to deal with the company's legacy issues.At the same time, he also accepted Xiang Wen's arrangement in private, and planned to give Yan You and Yun Lv a warning, telling them to stop and stop making trouble.
However, Yanyou's opening of an antique restoration exhibition hall was far beyond Xiang Wen's expectations.Based on his previous behavior, he believed that Yanyou's move must have deep meaning, but he dared not act rashly, and asked the employee to find out the truth first.
At that moment, he responded lightly, quickly looked at the photos sent back by his subordinates, and kept deliberating in his mind: Did Yan You do this simply because he wanted to become famous as a teenager, or did he really have the same goal as himself?
To tell the truth, he hoped it was the former, that would be much easier.If it was the latter, he would have to be distracted to deal with this overly smart young man.After all, although Yanyou is smart, his understanding of gorse is far inferior to his own. The asymmetry of information will only lead to failure, which will affect his plan.
Before reaching a conclusion, suddenly, his eyes were fixed on a certain photo.At that moment, the hands of this old man with a deep city mansion trembled violently, and his sharp eyes were replaced by shock.
After hearing no sound for a long time, the employees on Huaxia's side thought that the phone was malfunctioning again.He said hello a few times without hope, and was just about to pick up the phone when he heard the voice again.
If it wasn't the doctor's special line, he almost thought it was answered by a different person.Since joining the company for several years, Dr. Xiang has been a calm and rational spokesperson. He has never heard the other party be so eager and nervous: "Did you take these photos today?"
"Yes, Doctor."
"Where is this pearl? And the case where the pearl is placed? Are they all Yanyou's own?"
The employee thought about it for a moment and said: "No, there is another lady present. I stole their conversation, and she is the owner of this pearl. After I left, I checked by the way. She is from Hong Kong Island, and her name is Moran. Lan seems to be Yanyou's friend."
"Mo..."
Xiang Wen only said one word, and fell silent again.The employees were very puzzled, but they dared not ask questions.
It wasn't until the hand holding the receiver became numb that he finally heard the doctor's instructions: "Stop all actions, and do what Fusco entrusted to you first."
"...Okay." The employee was even more puzzled.But all along, he was the one who helped Xiang Wen with some small favors within his authority, and then got a generous reward. To avoid getting too involved, he never asked any more questions.Get used to it, and although he didn't understand why Xiang Wen stopped suddenly this time, he wisely didn't ask.
On this side, Xiang Wen cut off the phone, wiped his face heavily, and then looked at the photo in his hand without moving for a long time.It wasn't until the phone rang again that it was like waking up from a dream, and the eyes gradually regained clarity.
It looks like the number is from Fusco.An urgent call in the middle of the night is very rare for this third-generation ancestor who has always been proud of himself.Xiang Wen pondered for a moment before answering the phone.
Immediately, Fusco's drunken voice came from the other end: "Doctor, there are new rumors again. Who is going to make things difficult for me?"
"You mean the new gossip about fakes?"
"That's right, it's ridiculous. I actually said that I ordered the counterfeit to be made, and even made up the location. I said that I arranged a studio in Huaxia Guangzhou and hired several Chinese people to fabricate the counterfeit."
Xiang Wen has heard about this, but not in such detail.Hearing the word Guangzhou, I suddenly thought of Yanyou.According to the investigation results, Yunlu is Yanyou's fellow apprentice, and he himself is the maker of the counterfeit.Combining the recent events, Xiang Wen felt that the rumors had something to do with Yan You.Thinking about it further, maybe they also found out the old account of the meteorite.
But doing so seems pointless.Mere rumors, which can be suppressed with a little effort, are useless except to make Fusco feel troubled and upset.
Yan You should not be the kind of idiot who thinks that he can defeat his opponent with a few rumors, Xiang Wen thinks that he has other things to rely on.But what would that be?Will it have something to do with his recently restored gallery?Also, he and the Mo family are...
Looks like I haven't done enough research.In the past, he thought that Yan You was just a small character, and he would be kicked out of this battle sooner or later, so there was no need to understand it deeply.Now it seems that maybe that was a wrong decision.
Thoughts wandered, Xiang Wen forgot to answer for a moment.Fusco, who hadn't waited for a reply for a long time, spoke louder, but seemed to be a little less drunk: "Doctor, are you also wondering? Rumors keep coming, do you also feel that someone is targeting us?"
"...I don't think you need to mind too much." After thinking for a moment, Xiang Wen finally said: "You know, some people are jealous that our profit is not a day or two. But the auction house has been developing steadily in the past few years. If there is any problem, they can't take advantage of it. This time the counterfeit incident happened suddenly, most of the time someone wanted to take the opportunity to make trouble. But you reacted quickly and immediately promised to compensate the buyer at full price, and the buyer did not pursue it. Coupled with the upcoming exhibition of the Royal Queen's collection, this is the perfect crisis PR. Since it is impeccable, they can only grind their lips. Just wait for the exhibition to start, and the buyer will shake you in front of the media hand, and all rumors will disappear."
As the leader of the auction house, Fusco naturally has his own advantages.He was keenly aware of something wrong, but after hearing what Xiang Wen said, his original thoughts began to waver again.For the past ten years, Xiang Wen has devoted himself to making suggestions for the organization, and Fusco even trusts him more than his own children.
Xiang Wen said that it was the slander of an incompetent and jealous person, since there is no substantive attack, there is nothing to be afraid of.Fusco felt that it made sense, so he put the matter aside and no longer worried about it: "I see. Doctor, it's always so comforting to talk to you. By the way, that person wants to see Yubi, For the sake of crisis public relations, extend the time to 3 minutes."
After calming down Fusco's suspicion, Xiang Wen took a last look at the faxed photo and locked it in a drawer.Finally, he picked up a document bag that had been prepared, weighed it, and put it in.
Then, he took his coat, drove to an automatic phone booth a few blocks away from his home, and dialed a number: "Hello, officer... No, no, I want to tell you that our meeting will be changed... The situation has changed, I don't want to explain too much... But you have to do me a favor. I know you have been stationed in Hong Kong Island, and it is not difficult to get some personal information from there?... Don't rush to evade, Before [-], the administrative power of Hong Kong Island was still in the hands of the sun never set. Besides, I provided you with the evidence that has been traced for many years, shouldn't I ask for some rewards?...Here again, I want to compare my identity to the detection The case is what you should care about...Then I will take it as your acquiescence, please send the information to the place I specify within two days. Then, good night, officer."
The night was dark, but after returning home, Xiang Wen didn't seize the last two or three hours of rest. Instead, he opened the closet, took out a pocket watch from the pocket of a long gown from his youth, held it in his hand, and sat there until dawn with a blank expression on his face.
If Mo Lanlan was here, it would be very strange: why would the pocket watch that grandpa regarded as a treasure appear here?
The next few days were uneventful.
Before the treasures borrowed from the royal family were locked in the safe, Pei Xiuyuan got a close-up view of Magu's birthday jade carving as he wished, and he was full of praise.
Although he kept complaining that the time was too short during the following lunch time, when Xiang Wen, who accompanied the meal, extended the invitation again, he still readily assured that he would attend the opening ceremony on time.
Thinking that rumors would soon be shattered by powerful facts, Fusco regained the sense of the overall situation, and felt that rumors were nothing to fear.
Even when the pale secretary presented a newspaper with some important news, he just took it as a joke and laughed it off: "The mural that my grandfather dedicated to Her Majesty the Queen is a fake? These people's imaginations are getting richer and richer." Yes. Probably seeing that I didn’t respond, I couldn’t hold back and made a stupid move. If they spread rumors on the paper media in the first place, maybe I would really have a headache. But now—”
He threw the newspaper back on the secretary's tray contemptuously: "Issue a clarification statement, and then ignore whatever they say. When the exhibition opens and the public sees the exquisite murals, all rumors will be self-defeating. "
He completely believed in Xiang Wen's judgment, and felt that this was just the last struggle of the jealous man before he was doomed to fail.
As everyone knows, in the same building, Xiang Wen has the same newspaper in his hand.
After reading it, he picked up a stack of documents next to him and pulled out a large form.
This form not only posted photos under the names and identities of the Mo family, but also attached people who were close to them, which was very detailed.
Although he has seen it many times, Xiang Wen still looks at it very carefully like the first time.
The eyes moved from Mo Pingjiang to the eldest grandson Mo Yunfeng, and then moved along a thick red line to a name called Murong Xi, paused for a while on the words "recently developed into a lover relationship", and then slid to another name, Granddaughter Moranlan.
In her friend column, there is also a red line marking Yan You, and it is also marked "I flew to Sijiu City half a month ago to meet, and I have not left China yet."
Let Ms. Mo Jiasun go to meet in person, probably not just ordinary friends, right?Maybe, Yanyou is already Mo Lanlan's boyfriend.
Although it seems that Yan You is just a poor boy on the surface, Xiang Wen has learned from the investigation that he has worshiped the famous archaeologist Ying Lao as his teacher, and with his own talent, he has a bright future in the future. Good match.
This form was made by Xiang Wen by combining the information of the Mo family that Xiang Wen had obtained from the police, and the information obtained by Huaxia's internal response staff.However, now is not an era where high technology is pervasive. Yan You has a good friend who is very skilled, and that employee can only find out so far with all his efforts.
With the incomplete information, Xiang Wen came up with the most common deduction.
When he found out that Yan You was a student of Yingsheng, he immediately understood the reason: the game that seemed to be aimed at Xu Shinian, but in fact, Xiang Zhuang's sword dance was aimed at Pei Gong was exactly what he set up at Fusco's request.Yanyou carried gorse with Gorse for the sake of the teacher, which is admirable courage.And being able to find out this step proves that he is indeed superior.
Since Yanyou is the grandson-in-law of the Mo family, maybe I can change my plan and help him.
Perhaps, this will be the last intersection of "their" in this life.Although, the person I care about the most may never know.
Just like back then, he had no idea how much he had paid.Mo Pingjiang's father was accused of seducing students, and he was doomed, and he could no longer stay in school.
At the moment he dropped out of school, he thought it was the ultimate humiliation, but after returning to his hometown, he was shocked to find that even the people in his hometown had heard of it.The Mo family left China, and he couldn't find Mo Pingjiang, and he couldn't face the strange eyes and endless pointers from his relatives and friends, so he had to choose to travel across the ocean.
He is not a sage who resigned himself to doing nothing. Half his life has been up and down, which made him deeply hate Mo Pingjiang's father.But for that awkward young master who once ran all over the city just to find a pair of pocket watches that he accidentally mentioned, he obviously spent a lot of effort, but when he gave it to him, he put on a casual look, but he couldn't give birth to it. half to blame.
Even after many years, they are not young anymore, and they will see each other indefinitely. Once encountering someone or something related to Mo Pingjiang, he still can't help but back down step by step.Just like back then, always involuntarily, putting that duplicitous young master first in everything.
According to the investigation, according to Mo Lanlan's few words and Mo Pingjiang's whereabouts in the first half of the year, Yan You should have met this future grandfather, and Mo Pingjiang admired him quite a lot.
That being the case, there is no harm in letting Yan You get what he wanted. Anyway, he didn't intend to make a high-profile announcement after dealing with Gorse, to strive for a "reputation", but it's better to let Yan You.Mo Pingjiang should be happy to know that the young man he valued has this method, right?
However, as far as the current situation is concerned, the young man's chances of winning are really slim.You might as well modify your original plan slightly, and act secretly to cooperate.
Thinking of this, Xiang Wen fell into deep thought again, tirelessly deliberating over every detail of the plan, wondering how to make the most appropriate arrangement.
But what he didn't expect was that on the day of the royal collection exhibition, Huaxia broke out a piece of news that shocked the world.
Yan You, a student of the Department of Archeology at Peking University, claimed that the imitation of the jade carvings of Magu’s birthday in the royal family’s collection, many of which were broken, were bought by one of his friends and elders in the early years, and are now stored in his private restoration exhibition hall, which has been restored complete.
And the matter of Michael saving the treasure back then was purely a rumor.The evidence is that he has the original treasure stealing contract signed by Michael and Zhong Simian in his hand!
Because there were warlords stationed near the palace at that time, Michael, a foreigner, was too eye-catching, so he made a written agreement with Zhong Simian to ask Zhong to steal for him at a price of [-] silver dollars.
Because the mural was too big, Zhong Simian, who was greedy for profit, simply chopped it up and brought it out.But afterward, the restoration master could not be found, so the fragments had to be taken to Sunset.But there was a storm on the way, and the real murals were lost, and they went back to China.Michael's eldest son, unwilling to get nothing, forged a forgery based on a photo of the intact mural, claiming that his father had bought it from thieves.
I don't know whether it was because of a disturbed conscience, or for other reasons, Zhong Simian, who left Huaxia and moved to Sunset before liberation, not only kept the contract intact, but also wrote down the whole story.
After Yanyou got this document accidentally, he felt that the matter was important, and he also thought that the genuine product was collected by a friend, and the evidence happened to be in his own hands. It was God's will, so he made it public.
After reading the report, Xiang Wen was shocked and speechless for a long time.
The seemingly ineffective actions of Yanyou before have now been explained: the theory of meteorites and fakes is just a smoke bomb, the purpose is to paralyze Fusco, so that when he hears the rumor that Magu’s birthday jade carving is also a fake , will not pursue it with any fuss.
Everything is for today - when the exhibition is about to start, Fusco thinks that Plantagenet is about to get rid of the negative influence, and when the position in the industry is more stable, give him a head-on blow!
God willing?
Listening to the sound of Scottish bagpipes celebrating the opening of the exhibition in the hall, Xiang Wen standing in the inner room looked at the contract photo in the newspaper and smiled wryly.
It is indeed God's will. With this evidence in hand, Fusco may never have a chance to stand up.My previous worries were purely unnecessary.
