After Xiao Yi got 5000 yuan for the picture of a hundred birds facing the phoenix that the store received for ten yuan, Master Chen offered 50 yuan to buy it from Xiao Yi.

Everyone was stunned.

"Master Chen, this picture of a hundred birds facing a phoenix is ​​worthless, I bought it from a waste recycling station for ten yuan..."

The store owner was not willing to let Xiao Yi make money, and was also upset that he had lost sight of it. Based on the idea of ​​destroying it if he can't get it, he jumped up and said:

"Master Chen, look, this painting is rough and of poor quality. The canvas is still modern nylon. How could it be Tang Bohu's work?"

Several customers also quickly persuaded Master Chen:

"Master Chen, your family wealth of 50 yuan is just a drizzle to you, and it's nothing to lose. It's true, but you are the chief appraiser in our Taihu Lake. If you buy a fake painting, then it's not fake." Has it dealt a huge blow to your reputation? You have to think twice about buying a painting for 50 yuan!"

Hearing so many people speak up, and it was about his own reputation, Master Chen was a little uncertain for a while.

He also just vaguely felt that this picture of a hundred birds facing a phoenix is ​​not simple, but why it is not simple, he couldn't say for a while, and the bid of 50 was just as a few customers said, just a gamble. It's just that he can pick up the leaks. Anyway, losing 50 yuan is not a pain for him, and he can earn several 50 yuan just by helping someone.

Contemplating, Master Chen took a look at Xiao Yi, and what surprised him was that Xiao Yi was actually an old man, with a confident look, as if he was not worried that the picture of a hundred birds facing a phoenix in his hand was a fake.

'This is so strange, the old man can't see through the painting, can this young man see anything? '

Master Chen was a little interested, looked at Xiao Yi, and asked: "Young man, to be honest, I'm not sure whether your painting is real or not, but I just vaguely feel that it's not simple, seeing you like this Calm down, there must be a lot to say about this painting?"

"Mr. Chen was joking. I just bought it for fun. How do I know if this painting is real or not?"

Xiao Yi smiled casually, and it was enough to make a fortune in a silent voice. He didn't want to cause any trouble, and he wasn't afraid of trouble, the main thing was that he was afraid of trouble.

And after taking over the painting, he quickly confirmed that the painting must be genuine, and its value must be far higher than his previous estimate, and it might even be ten times higher.

Naturally, he was too lazy to explain these things to the shopkeeper and the Master Chen in front of him, so he planned to leave after talking casually.

"Master Chen, he bought this painting as a gift for that beautiful young lady. However, the beautiful young lady seems to be an expert, so she can tell at a glance that the painting is fake."

The shopkeeper suddenly took pleasure in other's misfortunes, and added a very contemptuous sentence.

Xiao Yi paused, then looked back at the store indifferently: "You have provoked me again and again, do you really think I have a good temper?"

The store sneered:

"What's the matter, are you anxious after being exposed to scars? You're just a scumbag, what can you do if you are anxious? I said you are an idiot who bought fakes? Bite me!"

"Row."

Xiao Yi nodded, and smiled playfully, since the store owner is trying to kill him, then he won't be polite.

With his status, how easy is it to clean up a store?Even if he didn't use his identity to suppress people, he could still beat the store owner to death with one punch, but it was not beautiful to clean up the store so easily. To clean it up, he had to use the most devilish and torture methods.

"Let's make a bet. If this painting is genuine, you will give me 100 million. If this painting is a fake, then I will give you 100 million. Do you dare to make this bet?"

Xiao Yi looked at the store indifferently.

"There are still people who are in a hurry to give money?" The shopkeeper smiled: "Bet, why not bet? But the bet has to be doubled. If this painting is fake, you have to give me 200 million."

"What if it's true?"

"I'll give you 200 million, but it's impossible, hahaha."

A few customers also laughed, looking at Xiao Yi as if seeing a fool.

"Master Chen, please also act as a notary for this bet." The shopkeeper was afraid that Xiao Yi would renege on his debt, so he turned his head and bowed to Master Chen.

"Okay, then the old man will be the notary today."

Master Chen nodded, and looked at Xiao Yi expectantly. For some reason, he always felt that Xiao Yi would win, but he couldn't figure out where Xiao Yi could win.

After all, that painting is so fake that it can't be faked any more. The only possibility for Xiao Yi to win is to turn the deer into a horse, and turn the fake into the truth, but it's a pity that he is here. As the one and only man in Taihu Lake, he will naturally guarantee it. Absolute fairness, maintaining absolute order.

"On the surface, this painting is indeed a fake. Let alone 5000 yuan, no one wants it for free. Unfortunately, this painting is not as simple as it seems."

With everyone's attention, Xiao Yi said lightly.

"Come on, you, stop haggling, prove it quickly, don't think I don't know you are delaying time, and think about how to play tricks."

The shopkeeper snorted and called.

"Have you been in the antique business for more than ten years?"

Xiao Yi suddenly looked at the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper nodded proudly: "That's right. My dad opened this shop. I have been obsessed with antiques since I was a child. After my dad retired, I took over this shop for almost 20 years. I have a pair of piercing eyes, and I have never looked at it." look away."

"Really? Then you will miss today."

Xiao Yi sneered, and while taking off the scrolls on both sides of the painting of birds facing the phoenix, he said calmly: "Speaking of which, your chin is retracted and your nostrils are turned upside down. If there is no external intervention, your store will go bankrupt in ten years at most."

The face of the shopkeeper changed. Indeed, he has been very cunning in doing business all along. He has made a lot of black-hearted money, but for some reason, the business of the shop is getting worse day by day. When his father was the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper It can be regarded as one of the best antique shops in Taihu Lake, and there are people coming and going, but not long after he took over, few customers came back. Even though he tried many ways to restore it, they all had little effect.

Xiao Yi's words hit the most painful point in his heart, he couldn't help but said with an ugly face: "Stop farting here, is what you say is what it is?"

Xiao Yi didn't continue to talk to him, and spread out the canvas from which the scroll was taken out on the table, and then carefully observed the canvas. This action was obviously a problem with the canvas, and he was planning to find something.

"Idiot, you don't think there's something else going on with this canvas, do you?"

The shopkeeper hated Xiao Yi for hurting him, and said with a smile:

"Don't be delusional. To tell you the truth, I've already seen it. This canvas is modern nylon. It's not a disguise at all. It's not worth 100 yuan."

Xiao Yi still ignored the shopkeeper, picked up the canvas on his own, and observed it again under the light of the fluorescent lamp.

Seeing his movements, the customers on the side couldn't straighten up their backs from laughing, but Master Chen and Ji Yao suddenly thought of something, and stared at Xiao Yi with shining eyes, as if they were afraid of missing any details.

The store is still mocking: "If you can make this thing real, I'll call you Dad..."

Tear--!

Suddenly, Xiao Yi raised his hand to pinch a corner of the canvas, and tore it lightly.

A scene that shocked everyone happened.

I saw that the original seamless canvas had been uncovered with a layer on the surface, and under the very rough fake painting was a painting full of ancient charm, delicate and compelling.

Hundred birds facing the phoenix picture!

"This is impossible!"

The shopkeeper screamed, his eyes almost popping out.

Several customers were also dumbfounded.

"My God! The real painting is actually covered by a fake painting. It turns out that the canvas is really different!"

"This must be an elaborate camouflage made by the former owner of this painting to cover up the real painting!"

"Oh my God, it's fine if the store manager didn't see the mystery of this painting. Master Chen is also not sure, but it happened that this young man saw it!"

If it is really a picture of a hundred birds facing a phoenix, then the value is really against the sky, let alone start at 500 million!

Moreover, in this case, the bet against Xiao Yi also won.

Another 200 was credited!

The shopkeeper's eyes were red with jealousy, and he snorted, "Who knows if it's real? So what if there is an interlayer? If you use a fake to cover it up, it must be the real thing? Tang Bohu's works are famous for fakes." There are many!"

At this time, Master Chen said in a deep voice: "Young man, do you mind letting the old man see this painting?"

"Of course I don't mind."

Xiao Yi smiled slightly, and spread the painting flat on the table.

All eyes were on the drawing paper.

Master Chen took a closer look, and his eyes first fixed on the name of the signer.

"Wu Clan Tang Yin."

Master Chen nodded secretly.

Tang Bohu, formerly known as Tang Yin, painted "Far Attack on Li Tang" and "Inbreeding Shen Zhou".

In the early days, Shen Zhou, the founder of the Wumen School of Painting, was his teacher. Both Shen Zhou and Zhou Chen were famous painters in Suzhou at that time. They studied landscape painting with Zhou Chen, and later learned from Li Tang and Liu Songnian to make changes.

In the Ming Dynasty, Tang Yin painted the paintings of Yuan people as his school, and Zhou took the paintings of the Southern Song Academy as his teacher. These are the two major painting schools in the Ming Dynasty. Although Tang Yin studied under Zhou Chen, he has the reputation of winning blue.Tang Yin, who is also his director, merged Yuanren's brushwork in the style of the Southern Song Dynasty, and made rapid progress in a short period of time, even surpassing his teacher Zhou Chen, and became famous.

Tang Yin painted the most and achieved the most is the landscape painting. His footprints are all over the famous rivers and mountains, and his chest is full of thousands of mountains and ravines. Flower and bird painting is better than freehand brushwork in ink and wash, free and easy, and elegant in style.

In addition to painting, Tang Yin also worked in calligraphy, following the example of Zhao Meng.

Just looking at the four characters of the inscription, Master Chen already knew in his mind that the picture of a hundred birds facing the phoenix in the interlayer is undoubtedly the authentic work of Tang Bohu.

A few customers were more or less knowledgeable. After looking at it for a while, they suddenly said excitedly: "Authentic, this is the authentic! My God, this is so rare!"

Only the shopkeeper was completely dazed, his face turned blue and white, standing there stupidly.

At least 500 million worth of a hundred birds facing the phoenix, he sold it for 5000 yuan, and he was so happy that he felt that he had made a lot of money. Now that the 500 million is gone, he lost 200 million in a bet. He really wants to cry , I can’t wait to slap myself twice.

"Master Chen, there are very few authentic works of Tang Bohu. I'm afraid this picture of a hundred birds facing a phoenix is ​​more than 500 million?" A customer looked at Master Chen.

Master Chen stared at the picture of the birds facing the phoenix for a long time, then reluctantly looked away, nodded and said: "Well, indeed, although Tang Bohu's landscape paintings are the most valuable, but the flower and bird paintings are not bad. Not long ago, Xiangjiang's At an auction, an unknown painting of flowers and birds by Tang Bohu was auctioned, and the price was more than 200 million.

700 million!

Everyone was shocked again.

Xie Lili, who had been standing aside without any sense of presence, swallowed her saliva, with a longing look on her face.

It's just a painting, it's worth 700 million yuan, and Xiao Yi bought it for only 5000 yuan, it's a big mistake.

Ji Yao also looked at Xiao Yi, amazed at Xiao Yi's ability to appraise treasures.

"Young man, if you are willing to give up your love, the old man is willing to pay 800 million to buy this painting."

Master Chen said to Xiao Yi.

Hearing his words, the surrounding discussions became much quieter.

In a blink of an eye, Master Chen raised the price by another 100 million, which is really rich, but Xiao Yi only needs to nod, and he can earn 5000 million with 800 yuan blood. How many times has the rate of return been multiplied?It's just picking up money!

The customers all looked at Xiao Yi enviously.

The shopkeeper is also gnashing his teeth.

"Sorry, I bought this painting for my wife, so I don't want to buy it."

Everyone thought that Xiao Yi was going to sell the painting, but who knew that Xiao Yi just shook his head, and then handed the painting of birds and phoenix to Ji Yao.

Everyone was dumbfounded again.

The shopkeeper was even more stunned.

They thought that Xiao Yi and Ji Yao were just friends. After all, seeing that Ji Yao had kept a distance from Xiao Yi, they even mocked Xiao Yi for not being able to pick up girls, but they didn't expect that they were already husband and wife.

Seeing this, Master Chen also sighed with some regret. Since they didn't sell it, he had no choice but to give up.

He looked at Ji Yao helplessly, thinking how lucky this girl is to have such a man who loves her, then he frowned slightly, for some reason, after carefully looking at Ji Yao now, he suddenly felt that Ji Yao looked familiar, I always feel like I have seen Ji Yao somewhere.

Seems to be......

Just as Master Chen was thinking about it, and his face was changing, Xiao Yi's playful voice sounded: "Boss Zhang, it seems that we still have a bet, right?"

Everyone came back to their senses.

Several customers looked at the store gloatingly, thinking that the store was going to vomit blood at a loss today. Not only did they sell 800 yuan worth of 5000 million yuan, but they also lost 200 million yuan to others. Now I can still stand firm, and my mentality is good enough.

"Can it be divided into installments?"

The shopkeeper was crying. His shop was not getting better day by day. Naturally, his income kept dropping. If he had to spend 200 million at once, it would be more uncomfortable than killing him. Maybe the chain of funds would be broken. Lost.

"I don't accept installments." Xiao Yi said with a smile that was not a smile: "If you can't afford the money, then transfer the shop to me, and you leave the house."

He originally wanted to teach this hateful store owner a lesson, so naturally he would not show any mercy.

"Transfer the store?" The store owner's expression was gloomy, and he gritted his teeth in displeasure: "This is Taihu Lake, you are so aggressive, believe it or not..."

"Give the money to this gentleman." Master Chen suddenly said hastily, and said in a deep voice: "If you don't pay the money, it will be considered a breach of contract, and your shop will be confiscated."

The store froze. At first he wanted to deny the nonsense, but Master Chen spoke up, and he still spoke in such a harsh tone, which made him dare not take any chances. After all, if he offended Master Chen, he would have no luck in the Jiangcheng antique circle in the future. I can't get along anymore.In desperation, the store had no choice but to take out his mobile phone and transfer 200 million to Xiao Yi. When transferring the money, his expression was very exciting, as if he was cutting flesh.

"Sir, this is my business card. If you have any orders in the future, you can contact me directly, and I will definitely do it."

Master Chen took out a business card, held it in both hands, and handed it to Xiao Yi respectfully.

This sudden change of posture made the store owner and several customers stunned for a while, not knowing what happened.

Xiao Yi took a deep look at Master Chen, understood that the old man probably knew his identity, nodded and said: "Okay, you have a heart."

Then he turned and left the antique shop.

Master Chen respectfully saluted and watched off from behind.

When Xiao Yi was far away, the shopkeeper asked confusedly: "Master Chen, who is that kid? Why are you treating him like this all of a sudden?"

who is it?

That is our Jiangcheng No.1!

If the old man hadn't come to his senses, he might be razed to the ground in Taihu Lake today just because of your attitude towards him!

Master Chen straightened his back, although he was cursing in his heart, he was startled and afraid and almost hated the shopkeeper to death, so you can offend such a big man with a small shop like you?But on his face, he just calmly wiped the fine sweat from his forehead, and said indifferently:

"Don't ask if you shouldn't. You just need to remember that that is a big man you will never touch in your life. After today, leave Taihu Lake by yourself."

"what?"

The store owner was completely confused, Master Chen actually wanted to drive him away?His shop has been open in Taihu Lake for decades. Today, because he met a young man, he had a little conflict with a young man, and it turned out to be a small conflict where he suffered a blood loss. Master Chen would not comfort him. Forget it, but drive him away?

"Hurry up, the old man is doing it for your own good, don't force the old man to be rough on you."

Master Chen flicked his sleeves coldly, and even after he went out, the voice still came: "You only have three days, if you don't disappear after three days, I will use other means to make you disappear on your own initiative, so you can do it yourself."

In the same place, the store owner still looked confused, wanting to cry but not crying, not knowing which law of the king he had violated and would be treated like this...
