New Times, New Hell

As soon as Shang Que's words came out, the audience was in an uproar.

Everyone looked at Shang Que in shock, and Yu Zhengdu scanned the surroundings, and found that everyone's shock was roughly divided into two types, one was the shock that was really unexpected, and the other was "How dare you brag?" Forced" shock.

Mr. Wang and Shen Wenrong, as well as Gou Shiwang and Liu Ao belonged to the latter.

Hook Shiwang laughed angrily on the spot.

The appraisal of antique calligraphy and painting belongs to the field that very few people understand. Most people can only blindly follow what the experts say. Some people's doubts.

Gou Shiwang was originally worried that Shang Quezhen would say something, although he was not afraid, but it would inevitably take a lot of effort to explain and refute.

Never expected that Shang Que would be so simple and rude, or in other words so bold, that he would tell such a big lie.

Gou Shiwang is not in a hurry now, and even wants to tease Shang Que slowly, adding some topics to today's press conference. He looked at Shang Que and said with a smile: "You said that the real product of "You Song Feng Ge" is in the In your hand?"

Shang Que glanced at him indifferently, and only let out an "um" from his throat.

Now even the old man Wang Gezhi, who was at odds with Gou Shiwang, couldn't stand anymore. He let out an "ah" and said, "Mr. Shang, you can't talk nonsense about this. One, the Gou family's "You Song Feng Ge" is indeed genuine."

Speaking of this, he had to sigh again. It is precisely because the Gou family's "You Song Feng Ge" is genuine that he regrets Gou Shiwang's actions so much, but regret is one thing, and the old man's integrity is another. The thing is, no matter how much he hated Gou Shiwang, he would not be able to pour dirty water on the Gou family against his conscience.

"Did you hear what the old man said?" Gou Shiwang looked at Shang Que proudly.

"What did you hear?" Shang Que frowned, "You said you were a jerk?"

Gou Shiwang was almost choked to death, and after a while he gritted his teeth angrily and continued: "I'm afraid you don't know, "You Song Feng Ge" has been in the hands of my Gou family for hundreds of years, whether it is in the research circle of Song history or antique collection Everyone in the circle knows about this, before you speak big, you should do some homework anyway, right?"

Yu Zhengdu was also looking at Shang Que curiously. Based on his understanding of Shang Que, Shang Que would definitely not tell such a lie, but no matter whether it is Mr. Wang Gezhi, the reactions of other collectors on the scene are good. However, the painting "You Song Feng Ge" in the hands of the Gou family seems to be genuine.

What is going on here?

He couldn't help asking: "Is the real product really in your hands?"

Shang Que let out a "hmm".

Liu Ao stepped forward at the right time, and looked at Shang Que with a smirk: "Since you said that the real product of "You Song Feng Ge" is in your hands, you might as well take it out and let everyone appreciate it together. It just so happens that so many experts are present today, so it is sure to be able to do so." Give everyone the truth."

Shang Que stood where he was, silent.

Yu Zhengdu asked him in a low voice: "You... don't want to take it out?"

He knew that Shang Que had a magic spell in his sleeves, which contained many of Shang Que's personal items. This is how Shang Que brought the set of rabbit hair black glazed cups that Shang Que gave to his house when he was a guest before, so he didn't There is no doubt that Shang Que can carry a painting and calligraphy with him.

"No." Shang Que paused, and replied in a low voice, "I just think it's not elegant to take out a painting from a sleeve in public."

Yu Zhengdu: "..."

Is that a matter of indecency? The painting "You Songfengge" is not small, if it is really taken out of the sleeve, the scene is probably not to verify the authenticity of the painting, but to judge Shang Que's sleeve.

Seeing that Shang Que still didn't respond, some people became impatient. Shu Yujing had communicated with Shang Que before, so she stood up to smooth things over: "Did the CEO not bring it here?"

This statement is also tenable, after all, whoever has nothing to go out carries a painting on his body.

But Liu Ao would not let Shang Que have a chance to shirk, and immediately sneered and said: "That's really a good idea, boasting that you have the real product in your hand, and then say that you don't bring it and it's over, good words will be rejected You have taken it all, but this is not how we play..."

Yu Zhengdu interrupted him: "Bring it."

Liu Ao didn't finish a sentence, and was almost suffocated. After a while, he turned the corner and said with a sneer, "Since you brought it, then take it out."

At this point, it is impossible not to take it out to find out. Although Yu Zhengdu still has doubts in his heart, he has absolute trust in Shang Que, looking at Shang Que: "Boss, I believe in you."

Shang Que suddenly turned a corner and walked back. Yu Zhengdu stayed where he was, and acted as a spokesman with a smile on his face: "Wait a minute, our boss is going to get it."

Liu Ao sneered: "Mr. Shang is really well-prepared, why did he store things in advance?"

Yu Zhengdu didn't change his expression: "That's right."

Shen Wenrong looked at Wang Gezhi at the side, and the old man felt his heart tighten: "Wen Rong, the Mr. Shang you invited is not a liar..."

Shen Wenrong had also fallen into a deep confusion at this time. He had only communicated with Shang Que on the Internet before, and he didn't know that Shang Que's painting style was so fascinating.

As soon as he said that, Shang Que had already folded it back, and casually took out a slightly yellowed picture scroll in his hand: "Let's appraise it."

He took out this picture scroll too casually without any protection measures. Compared with the treatment of "You Song Feng Ge", which was carefully protected in tempered glass by the Gou family, it can be said to be a world of difference.

It does not have the forceful style that a national treasure-level ancient painting should have.

The scene suddenly fell into a deathly silence, and everyone had an expression of "you are kidding me".

Gou Shiwang laughed even louder: "You say this is the real work of "You Song Feng Ge"?"

How about pretending to treat treasures with the attitude you should have?

Shang Que didn't bother to pay attention to him, and there was a flat glass display cabinet next to him. He casually put down the scroll in his hand, and with a flick of his wrist, the scroll scrolled "bone-like", and the slightly yellow scroll unfolded slowly. before.

His paintings are upright, extremely free and easy, and his calligraphy is wild and vigorous, like sharp edges.

It is Qu Lanzhi's "You Song Feng Ge".

Everyone at the scene who originally wanted to laugh at Shang Que was breathless.

The charm of this painting is so astonishing, even media reporters who don't know calligraphy and painting can feel the spirit of the painter who rushed to his face.

Everyone looked at this painting subconsciously, and then turned to look at the "You Song Feng Ge" collected by Gou's family on the stage. At first glance, the two paintings were almost identical, and it was difficult to distinguish the real from the fake.

Gou Shiwang's expression also changed, but he quickly reacted and smiled generously: "Your painting is pretty good imitation."

Wang Gezhi on the side also changed color, came forward with the support of Shen Wenrong, and exclaimed: "I have never seen such a good imitation of "You Song Feng Ge."

Because "You Song Feng Ge" has always been in the private collection of the Gou family, this is something that real players know, so no one will counterfeit this painting at all, and this painting rarely appears in public, people who have seen the original There are not many, and you can’t imitate it even if you want to. All you can see on the market are high-density photographic versions.

That's why the scene was so shocked when Shang Que's painting was brought out.

In addition to the media present, they were either experts or professional wealthy players. Everyone knew that "You Song Feng Ge" shouldn't have such a high-level imitation.

Shang Que was unmoved by Shi Wang's words when he checked the tick, just stood aside, and said lightly: "Let's appraise it."

"Does this still need to be appraised?" Gou Shiwang laughed "haha", pointed to Shang Que's painting and said, "So what if your painting is so realistic? Can't you see that the most important part of your painting is missing?" Is it something important?"

Everyone followed his words and took a closer look, and they also realized the most important question.

The Gou family's "You Song Feng Ge" has been recognized as genuine by collectors for hundreds of years. One of the important reasons is that there are several collection seals on this painting. The personal seal of the Ming emperor.

But the painting that Shang Que took out was too clean, except for Qu Lanzhi's painting, poem and Qu's own seal, there was nothing else.

Then a collector said: "Indeed, the painting that Mr. Shang took out does not have any private collection seal, which does not meet the characteristics of an ancient painting that has gone through thousands of years..."

Another person said: "The Gou family's "You Song Feng Ge" is indeed passed down from generation to generation, and the seal is the best proof. Although Mr. Shang's imitation is good, it lacks such evidence. It shouldn't be... "

Hook Shi Wang's face showed color: "Mr. Shang, can't imitate seals?"

At this time, Mr. Wang suddenly exclaimed in disbelief: "Wait a minute, Mr. Shang's painting seems to be genuine..."

Wang Gezhi's words were like thunder on the ground, attracting everyone's attention, and someone said in surprise, "Isn't it possible? Isn't the real product in the hands of the Gou family?"

"The one from the Gou family is indeed the real one." Wang Gezhi also looked a little confused, "But, but this one by Mr. Shang seems to be real too."

His words made the scene fall into a psychedelic: "Impossible? How can there be two authentic works?"

Gou Shiwang and Liu Ao changed their colors at the same time, Gou Shiwang became even more exasperated, and walked over from the crowd: "Uncle Shi, even if you have an opinion on me, you shouldn't talk nonsense about such things, right? "

"When did I tell any lies about this kind of thing?" Wang Gezhi pushed him away. At this time, his mind was no longer on Gou Shiwang, and he said to Shen Wenrong, "Wen Rong, take my tool Bring it, I want an on-site appraisal."

When Liu Ao saw that the scene was almost out of control, he knew that there was no other way but on-site appraisal. Menghua had thought hard for this press conference, and absolutely could not allow any mistakes.

Fortunately, the Gou family's "You Song Feng Ge" is indeed genuine.

Thinking of this, he held down the time hook, and smiled generously at the media: "I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen today, so let's do an appraisal on the spot for everyone, and let everyone see our Menghua Auction line of strength."

When Gou Shi Wang heard what he said, he was immediately convinced that Liu Ao was worthy of being promoted by capital, and he really had skills, but in an instant, he turned the crisis into an opportunity to show off.

So he also smiled: "That's right, so many experts have come here today, just to give you a demonstration, and let you see what a real antique is."

Because of Mr. Wang Gezhi's words, the experts at the scene were already ready to move, and under the organization of the organizer, they began to carry out the identification work in an orderly manner.

The media was also very excited. They thought today would be a boring exchange meeting, but they didn't expect such a dramatic event to happen. Regardless of the results of the appraisal, the ups and downs of the plot alone are enough to attract attention.

Menghua really paid for it this time. The experts invited were all well-known authorities in the industry. A group of people surrounded the painting that Shang Que took out, and various identification tools were used in turn. The scene was comparable to rocket research.

The appraisal process was meticulous and lengthy. The media and other guests were waiting on the sidelines. Liu Ao worked carefully and did not forget to tell the staff to entertain everyone well.

Everyone sees that Liu Ao and Gou Shiwang are really calm. Thinking about it, it is true. The Gou family's "You Song Feng Ge" is so famous, it cannot be fake. It can only be said that the painting Shang Que produced is too realistic. Mr. Wang is a serious person, so he will really do the appraisal.

However, with so many experts at the scene, it is impossible to miss all of them. The result of this appraisal is actually not too much suspense.

Time passed little by little, and I don't know how long it took. The experts gathered together and discussed in low voices. Finally, one person was pushed out as a representative and said, "The appraisal result is out."

Hook Shi Wang didn't take it seriously, and said with a smile, "Please speak up."

Although Yu Zhengdu believed in Shang Que, he couldn't help being a little nervous at this moment. His heart was raised in the air, and the next moment, his wrist was held by the person next to him. .

The expert's face was solemn: "After careful research and discussion, we agreed that Mr. Shang Que's "You Songfeng Pavilion" is the real thing."

The audience was amazed.

Gou Shiwang yelled, "What did you say?"

Liu Ao could no longer remain calm, and said with a sullen face: "How is this possible, the real product is obviously the one in the hands of the Gou family!"

The expert glanced at the two of them. Although Menghua invited their expert team, they were not at the mercy of Menghua, and had their own expertise and persistence. Therefore, he ignored Gou Shiwang's and Liu Ao's doubts. Let's talk about their identification process one by one.

Appraisal of ancient paintings and calligraphy involves a lot of knowledge. It is necessary to know the author's name, place of origin, birth and death years, in-depth study of literature and history knowledge, and the appraisal of painting materials, mounting methods and other aspects.

The team of experts did this appraisal very carefully, taking almost all aspects involved into consideration, and the result shocked them extremely.

The material of this piece of "You Song Feng Ge" that Shang Que took out is authentic Song paper, and there are no traces of falsification in other aspects of the details. All the possibilities of forgery have been ruled out, so there is only one conclusion left in the end.

This painting is genuine.

The media at the scene didn't understand appraisal, but they could understand what the experts said. The experts spoke very clearly, one by one, every time they said one sentence, the faces of Gou Shiwang and Liu Ao became ugly.

"...The above is the process of our identification. Judging from the results, Mr. Shang Que's "You Song Feng Ge" is indeed authentic." The expert said.

"It's a bunch of nonsense." Gou Shiwang pointed at the expert and said, "It's the real thing, so our Gou family's is a fake?"

Wang Gezhi stepped forward: "The "You Song Feng Ge" collected by the Gou family has been authenticated before, and it is genuine."

Gou Shiwang sneered: "Uncle Shi, do you want to say that there are two "You Song Feng Ge" in the world?"

"We don't know what's going on now. For the present plan, we can only put the two paintings together and make another comparison and identification." Wang Gezhi said.

Things have come to this, Gou Shiwang has no choice.

So under the witness of the media, the two "You Song Feng Ge" were put together.

It turned out that they didn’t feel it separately, but after they were put together, everyone realized that although the two paintings are very similar, there are some faint differences. I don’t know if it’s an illusion. It seems to be slightly inferior.

"Uh, these two characters are different." Yu Zhengdu has sharp eyes, and suddenly discovered the biggest difference between the two paintings. Apart from a few seals on Goujia's painting, there are also inscriptions on the two paintings. slight difference.

What he said, everyone has noticed that besides the painting, "You Songfeng Pavilion" also has a poem written by Qu Lanzhi himself. "" is written as "wan" on the painting of Shang Que, and the character "Tuan" in Gou's family still has traces of alteration.

This discovery immediately cheered everyone up, and everyone read the two lines of the poem several times.

Wang Geruo felt something: "Speaking of which, my brother and I also discussed the word 'tuan' a few years ago, and the original poem is indeed the word 'wan'."

Shu Yujing asked: "So, the word 'wan' used in Mr. Shang Que's painting is correct, and his is the real thing?"

"That's not the way to judge." Wang Gezhi said.

"Haha, you guys don't understand that." Gou Shiwang was also from an aristocratic family, so he naturally understood the way of appraisal, so he immediately smiled complacently, "This just proves that the picture of our Gou family is the real one." of."

Shu Yujing was puzzled: "How do you say that?"

"As we all know, "You Song Feng Ge" was written by Qu Lanzhi in his early years. At that time, his cursive script level had not stabilized, and there were mistakes in his works from time to time. Moreover, this painting originally had instructions, and the calligraphy on the painting was just a test. In Hao Hao's work, the word "Tuan" has been altered. It should be that he accidentally wrote another character, so he had to make a mistake. If it is an imitation, it will definitely not leave such flaws, and Mr. Shang's one above The word 'wan' is perfect, but it just means that it was written by later generations, so the other characters in the original work were corrected."

As soon as Gou Shiwang's words came out, everyone suddenly realized and turned their attention to the expert group. Wang Gezhi nodded: "Sometimes, imitations do look more perfect than the real ones..."

"That's not another word." Shang Que said suddenly.

Wang Gezhi paused and looked at Shang Que: "Mr. Shang, what did you say?"

Shang Que looked at the character "Tuan" on the painting of Gou's family, and said in a low voice, "The word 'wan' has a similar pronunciation to the word 'Huan' of Qinzong Zhao Huan. Instead of the word 'wan'."

As soon as Shang Que's words came out, everyone on the scene was stunned.

If Yu Zhengdu felt it, he took out his mobile phone and searched for the dates of Qu Lanzhi's birth and death, and said: "Qu Lan died in 1115, and there are still 1126 years before Song Qinzong's Jingkang year 11, so it is impossible to avoid it in advance. Qinzong's name."

No matter the material, mounting, or seal of the Gou family’s painting, it can be proved that it is indeed a Song product, so no one has ever doubted its age. Shang Qulan's calligraphy in his early years was indeed unstable, so it has always been considered as a typo.

In addition, there are very few people who can see this painting, and there are only a handful of people who are qualified to identify this painting, and there has never been a second "You Song Feng Ge" among the people. It has been considered authentic for hundreds of years.

But now, another piece of "You Song Feng Ge" appeared, and Shang Que's words opened up another way of thinking.

If the character "Tuan" on the Gou family's painting is not another character, but a taboo of the emperor's name, then everything is obviously smoother, and there are traces of alterations on the words. If it is because of the alteration, it should be correct The characters are correct, but the painting still uses other characters, so it is more likely that it is not because of the obliteration of the other characters, but because of the deletion of the original correct "wan" character.

Qinzong’s name will be taboo, it must be made in the Southern Song Dynasty, which is why the paintings in the hands of the Gou family have never had any problems in the identification of materials and mountings, because the paintings are indeed paintings of the Song Dynasty, but they are not from the hands of Qulan That's all.

There was an expert who specialized in literature and history at the scene who knew more about taboos in ancient times. After a little thought, he agreed with Shang Que's statement: "It is true that during the Qinzong period, many folk writing methods did avoid the word 'wan', among which 'tuan' The word is the usage that is often used instead."

The expert's words undoubtedly sentenced Gou Shiwang to death, and Gou Shiwang immediately shouted: "Impossible, this is impossible! This is just your guess."

But by this time, his struggle was in vain.

It is difficult to distinguish the authenticity of the two paintings, and when various other means cannot distinguish, the one that is more in line with the logic of judgment will naturally prevail.

Shang Que's statement is undoubtedly more convincing.

What's more, when comparing the two paintings together, Shang Que's one is obviously more charming, even without the latter point, the Gou family's one may not be completely trustworthy anymore.

"I really didn't expect it, I didn't expect it." Wang Gezhi murmured, the development of the matter was completely beyond his expectation.

Liu Ao didn't expect things to turn out like this. Although these are just speculations and not enough to be 100% proof, under such circumstances, it is obviously impossible for the Gou family's "You Song Feng Ge" to become Menghua's " representative work".

He came here with the responsibility of the capital on his back, and he couldn't let this matter get messed up in his hands no matter what, but in a moment, he had a new idea, and immediately met his old friend, the wealthy businessman in the capital, Zhan Wei whispered something, and Zhan Wei came out to test Shang Que.

Zhan Wei has a cooperation with Menghua behind the scenes, and this time he came to support Menghua, so he immediately agreed, stepped forward to say hello to Shang Que, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that Mr. Shang also has a painting of " "You Song Feng Ge", although there is still controversy with the Gou family's painting, but I have always been informal, I don't know if Mr. Shang is interested in making a move, if you are willing to give up, I can give you this number."

He compared one finger, [-] million, which was the starting price that Menghua had estimated for the Gou family's hands. This bid was full of sincerity when the dispute between the two paintings had not yet been settled.

Shang Que glanced at his finger and said casually, "Not for sale."

Zhan Wei couldn't believe it. According to the news they received earlier, Shang Que was just an internet celebrity blogger, and his subordinates were only a small company. It was impossible for him not to be tempted at this price.

He thought that Shang Que didn't understand well, so he had to remind: "Mr. Shang, I'm talking about [-] million."

As a result, Shang Que hadn't responded yet, Yu Zhengdu was startled first, pressed Shang Que's arm, and said with a dreamy face: "Boss, that's one hundred million, one hundred million!!"

What he said was actually a sigh of emotion. He heard the real [-] million for the first time in his life, and he couldn't help but speak the voice of ordinary people.

"You want it?" Shang Que took it seriously, glanced at him, stuffed the scroll into his arms, "I'll give it to you, you can sell it."

Zhan Wei:! ! !Fuck!

Yu Zhengdu:! ! !Boss this pose?You're picking him up!

The author has something to say: I refer to the materials of the National Art Museum for the knowledge of calligraphy and painting appraisal. I understand, everyone just take a look.

Xiaokui: Domineering CEO skills, light up!

Zhengdu: ... my rich local boss!

(I didn’t write the expression well enough to fix it. Zhengdu was joking, just like a netizen who saw a huge sum of money online and couldn’t help calling him Dad. After all, he is a lively young man. I didn’t expect a friend to misunderstand that he really wanted to sell...囧, just kidding Duck! Doesn’t the tone sound like that?!)
