City: Start from participating in the Appreciation Program

Chapter 140 Help
Liu Xing felt that he was really unlucky recently. First, because of his greed, his jade toad was bought at a low price.

Then I felt as if I had stumbled into something evil, and received several things that looked like genuine products in a row, but were actually fakes.

The most fake thing is that this kind of high-quality imitation that I can be fooled by is actually debunked every time, so that I have no choice but to go back to the book without conscience.

I am being watched by someone!
Zhang Xing was very sure of this, but he didn't know who he had offended and why he was targeted in this way.

Zhang Xing sighed, and said: "It seems that you should do less things that hurt your conscience, if you don't do it, you will see the devil."

Zhang Xing decided that he should hold back for a while, act cheaply first, and collect things after the limelight has passed.

However, it was a coincidence that just when Zhang Xing was planning to do this, a shocking leak appeared in front of his eyes.

This is a very well-preserved landscape painting by Tang Bohu, the head of the "Four Talents", with all seals and signatures.

It stands to reason that there is basically no possibility of picking up this kind of thing. It is either real or fake. It is impossible for others to think it is a fake and only you can see that it is genuine.

But this kind of situation just happened before Zhang Xing's eyes. The seller only intended to sell it as a work copied by later generations, but Zhang Xing felt that it was clearly Tang Bohu's genuine work.

Although the seller is selling it as a copy, the copy that can reach this level must be from everyone's hands, and the asking price will not be low.

The seller asked for 200 million, and he was unwilling to lose a penny.

Although this price is indeed a bit high for a copy with excellent quality, but Zhang Xing regards this work as a genuine product, so he will naturally feel that this price is simply too low and affordable.

It stands to reason that since Zhang Xing was in the antique business, he wouldn't have to worry about 200 million yuan.

However, the previous few drillings had almost exhausted his reserve funds. To purchase this painting, he would need to dispose of most of his goods.

In this case, buying this landscape painting is actually a bankruptcy for him.

The main reason is that there are too many evil things recently encountered. Although Zhang Xing is very sure, he still hesitates to take action.

At this moment, Zhang Xing suddenly thought of Luo Fan, the person who had promised to help him once.

Since Zhang Xing is a member of the dark market, of course he knew about the match between Luo Fan and Tan Renjie, so he has more confidence in Luo Fan's strength.

Luo Fan's victory over Tan Renjie naturally increased Zhang Xing's confidence in him.

Tan Renjie's vase that was judged to be a fake at the beginning was very similar to his recent encounter with evil. They all looked very real, but they were actually fakes.

In addition, the seller of this collection is selling it as a high-quality imitation, even if I plan to be shameless, I can't play tricks by ignoring the rules.

After all, the definition of high imitation is very broad.

Although Zhang Xing was sure that the painting was genuine, he still wanted to add an insurance policy for himself.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xing contacted Luo Fan directly, wanting to ask him for help to make a move, which is considered to have fulfilled the previous promise.

On the phone, Zhang Xing briefly described the matter, expressing that he hoped that Luo Fan would help out this time.

After listening to Zhang Xing's description, Luo Fan frowned. Zhang Xing didn't know why he was reciting so much recently, but Luo Fan knew it.

Most likely, it was because he entrapped Ding Chang among the Antique Brothers last time that he encountered these evil things.

With Antique Brothers' level of counterfeiting, it's not surprising that they can do what Zhang Xing described.

Since this matter involves the Brothers Antique, Luo Fan must be careful, after all, he has spoiled their good deeds more than once.

Seeing that there was no response from Luo Fan for a long time, Zhang Xing said a little nervously, "Little Brother Luo Fan, you don't intend to go back on your word, do you?"

The original agreement between the two was rather shameful, Luo Fan really planned to go back on his word, but in fact Zhang Xing had nothing to do with him.

Faced with Zhang Xing's doubts, Luo Fan said with certainty: "I, Luo Fan, can be regarded as a promise, and of course I will not do such a thing as going back on my word."

"It's just that, based on your description, I probably already have a guess that this painting should still be a fake. I don't think you need to waste my favor."

"I even know who is targeting you, but I advise you not to know."

Faced with Luo Fan's nagging words, Zhang Xing didn't buy it at all, and said, "You only need to agree to go with me once, and you don't need to say anything else."

"Couldn't you be planning to persuade me to quit, and then pick up the leak yourself?"

Although Luo Fan's favor is very valuable in Zhang Xing's eyes, it is totally worth it to be able to insure this business with a guarantee of 200 million yuan.

Luo Fan was speechless to this Zhang Xing, how could he say such a thing out of his mind.

Moreover, how dare he say such things to himself, he is so daring, he really thinks that he is a harmless person?

Luo Fan also understood that this is a bastard, no wonder he was able to do that kind of thing like a civet cat in exchange for the prince.

Zhang Xing also seemed to realize that there was something wrong with what he said, and he didn't disclose any information. Naturally, it was impossible for Luo Fan to say that because he planned to cut someone off.

Zhang Xing remedied: "Brother Luo Fan, don't get me wrong, I owe it to you, I don't speak through my brain."

"I'm not a fool either. I know that this matter is full of weirdness everywhere. However, this kind of shocking leak is right in front of me. If I don't confirm it, how can I be reconciled?"

Luo Fan thought to himself, sure enough, desire is the most difficult thing in this world to grasp.

Luo Fan thought for a while and said: "Since you don't cherish my favor, then I promise to accompany you on this journey."

"I only have one request, and that is to conduct this transaction in an absolutely safe place."

"If you don't listen to persuasion once you find out that the situation is wrong, I will have to leave alone."

Luo Fan didn't think that the Antique Brothers were any good people. This can be seen from the fact that they wanted to bankrupt Zhang Xing who had offended him, so it was always a good idea to be careful.

Zhang Xing nodded, and said, "I don't need you to tell me about this, I will pay attention to it, I can never make fun of my own life."

In this way, the two of them agreed on this itinerary, but they didn't know if the things to see this time could give Luo Fan a little surprise.

After instructing Rhubarb to take good care of the house, Luo Fan followed Zhang Xing out.

In fact, he could also take Zhang Xing's car, but he was afraid of losing the initiative, so he could only drive by himself.

Following Zhang Xing's turn and turn, he drove through several districts, and Luo Fan finally arrived at his destination.

To Luo Fan's surprise, the place they agreed on was actually an extremely lively place in the center of C.

It seems that the other party seems to be very confident in his own things, which is why he chose the place under such a large crowd.

The place agreed by the three was in a box in a big teahouse, and not long after, everyone arrived.

The seller is a very tall and thin young man, dressed very cleanly, he looks like a well-mannered person.

This is also a misunderstanding of many people. They think that these people should dress in tatters and sloppy to be able to deceive others' sympathy.

If this person really wore such a look, Zhang Xing probably wouldn't come here a second time. He could count on such a person to keep a good collection, that would be hell.

Especially for such a well-preserved work, it is impossible for it to come from someone who has no professional knowledge at all.

When Luo Fan was looking at the seller, the seller was also looking at Luo Fan. For some reason, he always felt that Luo Fan looked very familiar.

The seller searched his memory carefully, and finally remembered Luo Fan's identity. Isn't this the one who sent his brother in?
This seller is the second brother of the eldest and third brother that Luo Fan sent in.

Brother Antique, who was repeatedly sabotaged by Luo Fan's plan, was also very angry, and planned to take Zhang Xing, the person who had cheated Ding Chang, first to vent his anger.

This is what they think, we can't play Luofan for the time being, but can we still handle it if you go alone?

This led to Zhang Xing's miraculous experience of drilling all the way, and even this transaction, as Luo Fan said, was a deliberate arrangement by the Antique Brothers.

This time they even dispatched their own capable officer, the second child, to handle this matter, intending to avenge the last time.

Seeing Luo Fan, the second child remembered Gu Dong's evaluation of Luo Fan. This is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he understood everything in an instant.

No wonder Zhang Xing, an obsessed person, would suddenly change the trading location to such a public place. It turned out that it was this Luo Fan who was obstructing it.

If they were operating in a remote corner, Ding Yang and the others would have much more room to operate. What awaited Zhang Xing was definitely not as simple as bankruptcy. At least, they would definitely want Yuchan back.

At this time, Ding Yang didn't know that the jade toad he was thinking of was already in Luo Fan's collection, and he planned to find a chance to snatch it back from Zhang Xing's hands.

That's right, the place Zhang Xing agreed with him was very remote at the beginning, and Zhang Xing avoided the crowds, just because he was afraid that something unexpected would happen during the transaction, which would ruin his good fortune of making money.

However, after being reminded by Luo Fan later, he also felt that safety is still the first priority, so he discussed with the second child to change the location.

To hide the hatred in his heart, the second child's thoughts are no longer on Zhang Xing, but to drag Luo Fan into the water, so as to avenge his brother.

As for Ding Yang's words that they were not good enough to help Luo Fan improve his performance, he completely ignored it. After all, he felt that even if he was worse than Ding Yang, he would not be much worse.

If it weren't for his two brothers, he would never have to eat under Ding Yang's hands.

Originally, places like teahouses were not suitable for antique trading. There was a lot of water vapor in teahouses, which had a great impact on antiques such as calligraphy and painting.

But this shop doesn't matter. It seems that in order to cater to antique lovers like Zhang Xing, the main thing here is cold-brewed tea, which doesn't have too much water vapor.

There is even a large table specially provided for antique identification and appreciation in the private room here, which is very convenient.

The second child, who was full of ghosts, said straight to the point: "Zhang Xing, you have seen this thing many times, I believe I don't need to continue to introduce it."

"200 million, if you agree, you will pay the money and deliver the goods."

"If you don't agree, I don't plan to respond to you next time you ask me out. I don't have time to play house with you all the time."

The two have met many times, so this time it is the ultimatum given by the second child to Zhang Xing.

Zhang Xing naturally knew it well, this time was his most chance, otherwise he wouldn't bring Luo Fan along, whether he got rich overnight or went bankrupt depends entirely on this time.

Zhang Xing said with a serious face: "Of course I know this. I will naturally give you an affirmative answer if you can accept it today."

"No, this time I brought a master to help me grow my eyes."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Xing pointed to Luo Fan, indicating that this is the master he found.

The second child is very disdainful of Zhang Xing's words, so how high can a young master be, no matter how powerful he is?

This landscape painting was made by him and the antique brothers, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is their pinnacle work.

In fact, the real product of this painting is in the hands of the antique brothers. Since it is a copy, it can be said to be almost exactly the same as the real product.

As long as the two paintings are not placed together, even a very seasoned appraisal master may not be able to tell the real from the fake.

As for the fact that his two brothers would fall into Luo Fan's hands, the second brother actually understood very well. Although they are brothers, the difference in level is not 01:30.

If Ding Yang and Ding Chang were willing to tell the second child that they had fallen into Luo Fan's hands many times, the second child would not dare to be so optimistic.

It's a pity that the two Ding Yang brothers will naturally not tell others about their scandals, so the second brother is quite contemptuous of Luo Fan at this time.

He foolishly thought that Ding Yang planned to deal with Luo Fan only to help him get ahead.

Although he was disdainful in his heart, the second child would definitely not show it on the surface, and even pretended to be admiring, saying to Luo Fan: "It turns out that this little brother is still a master of appraisal, he is really young and promising. "

"Not much nonsense, let's look at the goods directly. If you can't see the price, I can only find the next buyer."

Zhang Xing also said impatiently: "It should be so."

After careful cleaning, the second child spread the entire painting on the table. After all, even if this painting is just a high-quality imitation, it is worth a lot of money, so he can't be too sloppy.

As the second child's hand on the curtain was lifted vigorously, the entire curtain was lifted off and placed on the ground, instantly allowing Luo Fan to see the true face of Mount Lu in this painting.

This painting depicts high mountains and majestic willows, with a water pavilion facing the river. A person is sitting in the pavilion, watching the sunset and solitude, accompanied by a bookboy.

The majestic mountains, tall willows, waterside pavilions, river banks, and Xiaguang are in harmony with the virtual and the real, thus forming a wonderful system.
