Antique Dealer

Chapter 246 Panic
Speaking of this, Fang Hao took a sip of water, and then said: "Did you just appraise the inscription and signature first, and then subconsciously think that there is no problem with the painting?"

Ji Wenxue suddenly realized: "I know, the person mentioned the postscript and signature before, which affected us!"

"High!" Zhu Zhiqing clapped his hands together, and he knew exactly where the problem was.

The painting should be a mosaic, and the inscription and signature are authentic. The other party deliberately said that there is no problem with the inscription and signature, which also caused him to pay attention to the inscription and signature first when he saw the painting. I think there is no problem with the content, not to mention that the content of the paintings is also in line with Lu Zhi's creative style.

Ji Wenxue gave Fang Hao a thumbs up: "Teacher Fang, you are the best!"

Fang Hao smiled modestly: "Actually, I didn't see the problem at first, the main thing is that I recognized the liar."

Everyone should still remember that the liar who pretended to be Xia Dongsheng mentioned above, the middle-aged man who made Fang Hao feel familiar, was no accident, it was this person.

This liar looks a little like Xia Dongsheng. If he dresses up a little bit, there may be five or six points of similarity, which is more than enough to pretend to be someone who has never met Xia Dongsheng.

Listening to Fang Hao's talk about his experience in Xijing, Zhu Zhiqing and Ji Wenxue were both feeling emotional, and it is hard to guard against liars nowadays.

In fact, for Zhu Zhiqing, what he cared about was whether the person who introduced him knew about this matter. If he knew, it would be more hateful than a liar, so he decided to investigate it carefully.

Afterwards, Fang Hao talked about the grievances between him and Jiang Jiaping, Zhu Zhiqing heard the last, and said "serve it".

The three chatted while eating, as Fang Hao expected, when they finished eating, there were only three of them in the private room.In order to avoid wasting food, Fang Hao told the waiter in advance that the other table's dishes would not be served, and also told the waiter that the other table's money would not be refunded by the boss.

For the hotel side, this matter must be the best, but this hotel is more responsible, so I still called Zhu Fuchang, Zhu Fuchang answered the phone, and learned that it was Fang Hao who said so. I can only admit it with my nose pinched, and I hate Fang Hao even more in my heart.

After drinking and eating, the three of them took the elevator downstairs.

The elevator quickly reached the first floor, and with a "ding", the elevator door opened. Fang Hao, who was chatting with Zhu Zhiqing, turned his head, and was surprised to see Nian Kangshi and his secretary standing at the elevator door.

On the day Fang Hao returned to the capital from Xijing, he contacted Nian Kangshi, and asked Nian Kangshi to bring him the Baibao inlaid gourd bottle to find someone to repair it when he had time.

At that time, Nian Kangshi said that he was going on a business trip and would contact Fang Hao after he came back. He did not expect to meet Fang Hao today in Fengtian.

Nian Kangshi did not expect to meet Fang Hao by such a coincidence, let alone the three people in the elevator, he was familiar with them all, and greeted with a smile: "Why are you here too?"

The three of them got out of the elevator, and Zhu Zhiqing shook his head: "Don't mention it, I came here to compete for a painting by Lu Zhi. I didn't expect it to be a scam. If it weren't for Teacher Fang's good vision, I would definitely win. Five or six million will be in vain!"

Nian Kangshi didn't expect this answer, and he was also concerned about one thing, Zhu Zhiqing actually called Fang Hao a teacher, which he didn't expect.

In Nian Kangshi's impression, Zhu Zhiqing was a somewhat arrogant person, and it was not easy to get his approval.Originally, Nian Kangshi already admired Fang Hao's ability, but now it seems that Fang Hao's status should be elevated.

Nian Kangshi was very interested in Zhu Zhiqing's scam, and said, "Do you guys have time, why don't you sit down together?"

Fang Hao looked at the time and said apologetically, "Mr. Nian, you should know that I will hold an opening exhibition on Saturday, and the store has not yet been set up. I hurried back. I have already booked the high-speed train at three o'clock, and now I have to go back to the hotel. packing luggage."

Nian Kangshi expressed his understanding: "Okay, but can you show me a piece of jade?"

"can."

A group of people walked to the side, and Nian Kangshi asked Secretary Liu to take out a box from his bag: "This jade plaque was given to me by a partner of mine at dinner last night, and he said it was carved with seed materials. Yes, I think it should be Hetian jade, but I don’t know how much it is worth, and how to return the gift in the future.”

Fang Hao picked up the jade tablet from the box, only to see that the upper and lower ends were decorated with cloud patterns.The pomegranate with full seeds is carved on the front, with natural branches and leaves and strong movement.The back is framed and engraved with "coral" in Yangwen.Pomegranates have many children. The ancients believed that a family of good deeds would have many children, and wearing them symbolizes many children and many blessings.

"This jade brand jade is delicate and moist, with exquisite workmanship. It's really good, but it's not seed material, but mountain stream water material."

Nian Kangshi was taken aback: "What kind of material is Shanshui Liu, mountain material?"

Fang Hao explained to him: "Let's talk about the seed material first, which generally refers to the jade that has been eroded from the primary mine and washed into the river. This kind of jade is mainly distributed in the river bed or in the river beaches on the left and right sides of the river bed. Due to the influence of water flow or the environment, the jade quality is very good, making the jade itself extremely warm and moist.

The name of Shanliushui is mainly derived from the names of jade mining and jade carving artists.Generally speaking, Shanliushui mainly refers to a kind of jade formed by the primary jade ore after years of uninterrupted weathering and caving, and then repeatedly scoured by the middle and upper reaches of the river.

Due to the time and degree of river scouring, the mountain water cannot be compared with the seed material. Therefore, the jade structure of the mountain water itself is not as compact and meticulous as the seed material.

But this is relative. Mountains and streams are better than mountain materials, and seed materials are not as good as mountains and waters. The material used for this jade tablet is quite excellent in texture. Seed material. "

Nian Kangshi heard the explanation: "As long as he didn't deliberately deceive me, since it's not seed material, the price should be cheaper, right?"

"Normal situation is about [-] yuan. If he bought it in a mall, it's hard to say."

Fang Hao added another sentence: "I think, if you want to return the gift, you'd better make this matter clear."

"really."

Nian Kangshi nodded. If the partner really bought it according to the seed material, and the price was not cheap, and he returned the gift according to the landscape material, the other party thought he would not be a man.

However, it was too troublesome to return the gift, so he was going to return the jade token.

Fang Hao appraised the jade for Nian Kangshi, and then he left and went back to the hotel where he stayed. Zhu Zhiqing and Ji Wenxue were not in a hurry to go back. They came all the way to Fengtian, and they couldn't return empty-handed. This is not Zhu Zhiqing's character.So they were going to drink tea with Nian Kangshi.

Nian Kangshi said that he knew a teahouse where he could listen to music, and the group walked to the door of the hotel to wait for the bus.

At this time, Jiang Jiaping and Lu Jianyi came back from dinner again. Jiang Jiaping was deceived. When they went to the bank to transfer money, the bank security was already closing the door. As soon as they entered, the security closed the door and stopped. Receive new business.

After the transfer was completed, Zhu Fuchang left first, citing urgent matters.

Lu Jianyi was still a little puzzled about this, since what he said just now was good, we went to dinner together, why did he find an excuse to leave just after transferring the account?
For this reason, he also mentioned something to Jiang Jiaping, but Jiang Jiaping was excited at the moment and didn't take it seriously at all. Lu Jianyi also felt that he might be too sensitive, so he didn't mention it again.

The two lived in the same hotel. After taking the painting back and putting it away, they went to have lunch. Originally, Lu Jianyi said that Zhu Fuchang had already ordered lunch, so they could go directly to eat, but Jiang Jiaping said that he didn't want to Seeing Fang Hao's face, they felt sick and couldn't eat, so they went to a restaurant outside the hotel.

When they got back to the hotel, the two met Nian Kangshi and others who were talking and laughing at the door. Jiang Jiaping was very surprised, but how could Nian Kangshi be friends with them!
The so-called hate the house and black, even if Fang Hao was not present, Jiang Jiaping saw Zhu Zhiqing and Ji Wenxue, and cried out "bad luck!" in his heart, but his family has a cooperation with the company under the name of Nian Kangshi, and his family is a supplier. Shang, it depends on Nian Kangshi's face, seeing that Nian Kangshi is there, he can only bite the bullet and go up to say hello.

"Mr. Nian, I didn't expect to meet you here." Jiang Jiaping was very polite, not as aggressive as he appeared before.

"Oh, it's Xiao Jiang, why did you come to Fengtian?" Nian Kangshi didn't have a good impression of Jiang Jiaping, and his attitude was a bit arrogant, and when it came to Jiang Jiaping, he also had the capital to be arrogant.

"I came here for a painting by Lu Zhi." Jiang Jiaping looked at Zhu Zhiqing.

Nian Kangshi was a little surprised, and also looked at Zhu Zhiqing, Zhu Zhiqing nodded: "It was this young man who took the picture just now!"

"It's just a small victory." Jiang Jiaping looked proud.

Nian Kangshi thought of what Zhu Zhiqing said just now, and felt a little sympathetic for Jiang Jiaping. Although Jiang Jiaping's parents loved him very much, if he lost 600 million yuan due to eye punching, he would probably lose his skin if he didn't die.

However, no matter what kind of person Nian Kangshi is, the sympathy in his heart is fleeting. He also hopes that this playboy can receive a lesson that he will never forget, so that he can have a good time.

With this kind of thinking, Nian Kangshi would not kindly remind Jiang Jiaping, and after saying a few words, he was ready to get in the car and leave.

Jiang Jiaping waved his hand, and suddenly, with a flash of inspiration, he stepped forward and asked Zhu Zhiqing: "This old gentleman, I want to ask, is that young man just now your friend or a junior?"

Zhu Zhiqing asked back: "What do you want to say?"

Jiang Jiaping paid attention to Zhu Zhiqing's reaction, he should not be related, so he said earnestly: "I want to say, he has bad character, bad eyesight, and small mind. He is not a good person. Don't be deceived by his sweet talk!"

After hearing this, Nian Kangshi's face became serious, and his tone was also very stern: "Boy, I teach you to be a good boy. If you don't investigate, you don't have the right to speak. How much do you know about the other teacher, so you dare to say bad things about him?"

Seeing that Nian Kangshi's reaction was so strong, Jiang Jiaping couldn't help but thump in his heart, his expression was very embarrassing.

Lu Jianyi, who was next to him, hurried over to smooth things over: "Mr. Nian, I'm really sorry. Young Master Jiang was also kind. He was a little impatient for a while, and the words he used were a bit inappropriate."

"Well-intentioned?" Nian Kangshi sneered: "Don't treat others as fools, everyone knows whether they are kind or not. Now I want to kindly remind you that if Teacher Fang thinks the price is right, that painting will definitely not be sold to you." Got it. You guys, let’s go back and take a closer look!”

After speaking, he asked the driver to drive away.

The corner of Jiang Jiaping's mouth twitched, and he roared in his heart: "What the hell!"

Of course, he only dared to curse in his heart. If Nian Kangshi heard it, he would definitely not be able to go far, and his parents would blow his ass open.

Compared with Jiang Jiaping who was angry in his heart and felt something was wrong just now, Lu Jianyi felt even more uneasy at the moment. At this moment, he recalled the details of the previous transaction and felt that something was wrong.

Specifically, the bidding prices of those two parties were too close!

You must know that everyone has a different price for the same antique, and it is not too much to say that thousands of people have a thousand prices. The price is written like this on purpose.

Thinking about it this way, Lu Jianyi became even more uneasy, and couldn't help but said, "Young Master Jiang, do you think that other than the old man, the rest of the people are partners?"

Jiang Jiaping was stunned for a moment, and said with some hesitation: "Probably not."

Lu Jianyi said: "Think about it again, is there something strange about those people? Don't you think their bidding price is too close to ours? This is not a project bidding! Moreover, they seem to submit their bids later than ours. price?"

"You mean, they know our bidding price? This..."

Jiang Jiaping originally wanted to say it was impossible, but thinking about the current level of technology, and the pen and paper provided by the other party, it is too easy to achieve this step. This is what he most... oh, this can't be said.

Jiang Jiaping's heart trembled violently, his face turned pale, and his tone trembled: "Uncle Lu, you don't mean to say that there is something wrong with the painting we bought, right? Didn't you carefully examine it and think that there is no problem with the painting? !"

Lu Jianyi looked at Jiang Jiaping, feeling very unhappy: "Didn't you learn calligraphy and painting appraisal from Mr. Ren for several years? Didn't you give any advice just now? Now that you know something is wrong, you are starting to shirk responsibility?"

At this time, he didn't want to have the same knowledge as Jiang Jiaping, and said: "Is it right or not, we will know when we go back and have a look. If we can't see the problem, we can ask the old gentleman just now. It doesn't matter if there is an objection, as long as it is not a matter of principle. You can’t say that the painting is wrong.”

"Yes, yes, let's go back to the room." Jiang Jiaping nodded again and again, feeling very flustered, and felt a little floating when walking.

The two returned to the room quickly, and took out the painting again. Jiang Jiaping carefully appraised it, but still did not see the problem. He heaved a sigh of relief, and was about to speak, but noticed that Lu Jianyi had also taken out a magnifying glass .

After a while, Lu Jianyi's expression turned solemn. Seeing this, Jiang Jiaping's heart almost jumped into his throat.
