Antique Dealer

Chapter 289 Guess
The jokes between the two made the atmosphere a little easier.

Kong Yi said to Fang Hao, "Let's talk alone?"

"Okay, let's go upstairs and talk."

Fang Hao brought Kong Yi to the reception room upstairs, Tang Mingshan brought two cups of tea and went out again.

Kong Yi waited for Tang Mingshan to leave, and said, "Teacher Fang, what do you think of the painting skills of the bird food jar just now?"

"I have to say that it is really outstanding. If we only talk about the decoration, the depiction on the bird food jar is vigorous and beautiful, with distinct layers, complicated but not chaotic, and the lines are free and easy. The overall decoration is exquisite and elegant, clear and bright. If we don't talk about the blue and white hair color, It can be regarded as a masterpiece of the Xuande period."

Seeing that Kong Yi was thoughtful, Fang Hao felt that there must be another reason for him to ask this question.

Kong Yi went on to ask: "Do you think the bird food jar and the Xuande sacrificial red glaze dish were made by the same person?"

"These two things are not in the same category. I can't make such a judgment." Fang Hao shook his head, and at the same time was curious why Kong Yi thought so: "Why do you think so?"

Kong Yi took a sip of tea first, and then explained the reason.

It turned out that Kong Yi had asked people to investigate since he knew that the sacrificial red glaze dish had been transferred.

There were only a few people who could open the vault, and it was easy to find out that it was a vice president of the auction company surnamed Zhang, and this person was an old man transferred by Kong Yi from the Kong Group. Kong Yi did not expect this person To betray him.

The reason why Vice President Zhang chose to betray was actually because he was set up to kill pigs, and lost his fortune. At this time, he realized that he should have been tricked.If the family members know that he has lost all the money, no matter how bad the result is, it may happen. If he makes trouble with the company, he will probably lose his job.

At the thought of the consequences, he was terrified.

At this time, the person who set up the bureau appeared and told him that the money could be returned to him in batches, and all he had to do was to replace the lot.

Vice President Zhang was reluctant at first, but later he couldn't stand the coercion and temptation, so he had to agree.

Since two people were required to open the vault, they planned to drag that person into the water, and then planned to replace the sacrificial red glaze dish.

Originally, they wanted to replace another piece of Xuande blue and white, but because the auction was approaching and the company's internal management was stricter than before, they never found a chance.

Speaking of which, when Kong Yi organized experts to carry out the appraisal, they were still a little nervous, but the action that day was arranged in a relatively hidden manner. They didn't find out, and they were relieved, thinking that they had passed the test, but they didn't expect it to happen the next day.

The two of them were not firm in their will now, so they quickly told the whole story. Kong Yi also saw the Xuande blue and white high imitation placed at Vice President Zhang's place.

When Kong Yi saw the high imitation Xuande blue and white piece, he compared it with the real one, and it was exactly the same. When he looked carefully, he found that there were some problems with the blue and white hair color. Specifically, it was the same as today’s bird food jar, but it was more realistic. Some.

When talking about this, Kong Yi took out the photos and showed them to Fang Hao.

Fang Hao was also surprised when he saw the high-quality imitation porcelain in the photo. If you just look at the performance in the photo, it is basically the same as the real product. If you insist on saying that there is a problem, you can also say that it is caused by the light when the photo was taken.

In terms of effect, the high imitation in the photo is much more realistic than the bird food can, but in terms of painting skills, the bird food can is not too much, and Fang Hao carefully looked at the painting style of the high imitation in the photo. There are indeed some similarities.

Some people may say, isn’t that high imitation just like the original painting, the more similar the painting is, the better. How can we say that the two things may have been made by the same person based on this?
The reason is simple. Everyone has a certain style of brushwork, especially those painters with their own ideas. Some styles are not easy to change over the years.

Fang Hao felt that the styles of the two pieces of porcelain were indeed similar. Firstly, it might be because they had to conform to the characteristics of Xuande blue and white, giving people a fresh and elegant aesthetic feeling, and truly reflecting the elegant and vulgar beauty of the blooming Xuande porcelain. .On the other hand, some of his own style will remain to some extent.

Of course, Fang Hao has no choice but to find out whether he can find out clearly. This is just a kind of intuition, which can only be found after accumulating a certain degree of experience.

The reason why Kong Yi felt that the two pieces of porcelain resembled each other was simply because he felt that such a high-level painter was rare, and if he met one after another, it might be from the same person.

"Can a high imitation of a photo find its origin?" Fang Hao asked.

Kong Yi shook his head lightly: "The people behind the scenes are very cunning. They basically have a one-way connection. Only in an emergency can one person be contacted. But I was worried about scaring the snake, so I didn't investigate rashly. Now this bird food jar just happened to appear. I I want to investigate and see if there are any clues."

"Okay, just tell me if you need my help then."

Fang Hao took a sip of tea: "By the way, you are here today, probably because of this matter?"

Kong Yi said: "That's it. I want to ask you to help me find a sacrificial red glaze dish. Not to mention the exact same one, at least it must be so that ordinary people can't see that it is not the same."

"It's difficult."

On the day of the appraisal, Fang Hao had already searched in the system mall. Xuande's sacrificial red glaze plate was available, but not of the same size.In reality, apart from the genuine one that was replaced, trying to find a sacrificial red glaze plate that is very similar is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

One more point here, only those antiques that have been damaged over time can be displayed in the system mall.In addition, the system is missing a lot of data, which will prevent some antiques from appearing in the system mall.

Just like the ink pill Fang Hao got before, there is no ink pill made by Pan Gu in the system mall, otherwise he can exchange it for one, and compare to see if his guess is correct.

Kong Yi sighed: "I know this matter is very difficult, there is no way to find it, and I can only withdraw it at that time."

Fang Hao said: "I will try my best."

"sorry to bother you."

Kong Yi leaned on the chair tiredly: "Hey, this shopping mall is still like a battlefield, and anything can happen. Therefore, internal management is especially important. Like me, if one slackens, the interior will be breached. Timely, otherwise the loss will be heavy."

Fang Hao took this very seriously, not to mention shopping malls, he was retaliated just now, sometimes people think that the plots in novels and movies are exaggerated, in fact, life is often more exaggerated.

Kong Yi sat up straight again: "After finishing the business, I have a personal matter to trouble you."

"Please say."

"An elder who is very important to me pays homage to the Buddha. In May, it will be her [-]th birthday. I would like to trouble you to transcribe a copy of the Diamond Sutra in regular script. Is it okay?"

The Diamond Sutra has a total of more than 5000 characters, and writing it in regular script calligraphy is a laborious and frustrating thing. However, considering the relationship with Kong Yi, Fang Hao pondered for a moment and agreed: "Yes, it's only at this stage recently. I don’t have time, and it will take a year before I can give it to you.”

"It's okay, just give it to me before the elder's birthday."

Kong Yi smiled and said: "As for the remuneration, it's too vulgar to talk about money between us. I happen to have a piece of official script "Fei Zhi Bei" written by Jin Nong in my hand. I will give it to you as a thank you gift."

"Feizhi Stele" is a famous stele in my country. It was published in the second year of Jianning in the Eastern Han Dynasty. It has a total of 484 characters. As well as the historical facts of making friends with ancient and modern immortals, teaching disciples, and spreading fame far and wide.

Fang Hao was slightly taken aback when he heard this, quickly waved his hands, and declined: "No, this is too expensive!"

As the head of the Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou, Jin Nong, I believe many people have heard that he works in Li and Kai in calligraphy.He melted "Guoshan Monument" and "Tianfa God's Prophecy Monument" into Li and Kai, and created a unique style, known as "lacquer calligraphy".

Jinnong's calligraphy works are very popular in the auction market. For example, the 10-year-old Jinnong official script, with a total of more than 600 characters, was sold for more than 918 million yuan, which is the price more than ten years ago.

Comparing the two, one can also guess how precious the Jinnong calligraphy that Kong Yi wanted to give to Fang Hao was.

Kong Yi said with a smile: "Mr. Fang, don't underestimate yourself. In terms of regular script, I don't think you are worse than Jinnong. It's just that you are not as famous as Jinnong now, but I believe that you will definitely be better than Jinnong in the future." Farmers are more famous. Moreover, this is just an exchange between friends, how can we really judge the value according to the market value?"
