Chapter 75: Antique Black Market

After marveling at Zhu Changshun's superb porcelain-making skills, Pei Miao began to focus on the note in the three-color ponytail. This note was rolled up, and the words were naturally densely packed together. Pei Miao tried to It was too difficult to recognize these words through the ability, 5 minutes passed quickly, and Pei Miao only recognized a dozen words.

Although he could only recognize a dozen characters, it was enough to shock him. The value of this note was more precious than ten or even a hundred Tang Sancai horses. He made up his mind to take this Tang Sancai horse.

Returning to his seat and sitting down, Wang Huijun asked Pei Miao, "I like this pair of Tang Sancai very much, are you sure about it?"

Pei Miao replied in a low voice: "One is true and the other is false, but... I like it very much too, Mr. Wang, can you give it to me?"

Wang Huijun smiled and said, "It's a trivial matter, just ask for the price, and I'll lend you the money."

"Thank you." Pei Miao smiled slightly, said nothing more, and waited for the filming to start.

After everyone came to the stage to see the pair of Tang Sancai, the auction began. The starting price of this pair of Tang Sancai was 20 yuan, and each increase should not be less than [-] yuan.

The voices of asking prices kept coming and going. It can be seen that many people are very interested in this pair of Tang Sancai. This is not a good thing for Pei Miao. Although Pei Miao is rich, he did not bring cash this time. Borrowing too much may affect Wang Huijun's later good things.

Fortunately, after the price rose to 50, it became slow. When it reached 60, only three people were bidding.

Pei Miao hadn't bid before, because no matter how early the bid was, it was useless. Now, he knew it was time to make a move.

So he held up the sign and said loudly: "65!"

He directly increased the price from 61 to 65. The three bidders were a little confused when they saw this. One of them gave up directly, and the other two continued to bid, still at an increase of [-].

When the price reached 70, Pei Miao suddenly raised a sign and said, "75!"

At this price, it is already considered very high, and they have to bear the risk. If it is fake, it will be a blood loss.

So when the two bidders heard the price, they chose to give up at the same time, and then turned their heads to look at Pei Miao. They thought that Pei Miao was an actor, and the organizer arranged to raise the price.

Seeing that there were no more bids, Eagle habitually asked: "The pair of Tang Sancai has already been bid for 75 yuan, and the bidder is VIP No. 20. Who else is willing to bid a higher price?"

Even asked twice, but no one answered, the eagle started counting down: "One time for 75! Two times for 75..."

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted: "80!"

The audience was silent, and everyone turned their heads to follow the prestige, and saw that the price was paid by a person in the last row. Pei Miao also turned his head and looked back, and saw that this person was wearing a hat just like himself. Sunglasses and a mask covered his face, so he couldn't see his face, and because he was too far away from him, it was beyond the detection range of his abilities.

But Pei Miao felt that the voice was a bit familiar, as if he had heard it there before.

Jin Dawei stared back at that person for a while, then said angrily, "It's Yang Tai again, it's disgusting to meet him no matter where you go."

Hearing what Jin Dawei said, Pei Miao remembered that this was Yang Tai, no wonder his voice sounded familiar.

At this time, the eagle on the stage had already started counting down: "One time for 80, two times for 80..."

Pei Miao hurriedly raised a placard to bid for the price: "90!"

The eagle smiled happily when he heard the offer. This price has exceeded his expected price. Could he not be happy?

Yang Tai in the last row said quietly: "110 million!"

Now many people exclaimed, adding 20 all of a sudden, what the hell is this, even if this pair of Tang Sancai is sold in the market, it is only more than 100 million, and in such a dark place, they wear Wearing tinted glasses, it is easy to perforate, and the risk is still very high. It is unwise to pay such a high price.

Pei Miao knew that Yang Tai was deliberately disgusting himself, and although he was angry, he was determined to win Tang Sancai, so he continued to increase the price: "120 million!"

The people around Yang Tai whispered a few words to Yang Tai, Yang Tai nodded and said: "I give up!"

Pei Miao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

With such a high price, Yang Tai gave up. Naturally, there was no one to compete with Pei Miao. Eagle asked twice, but no one raised the price. In the end, he counted down and made a deal.

Wang Huijun handed the trolley of the suitcase to Pei Miao's hand, leaned into his ear and said the password of the combination box, and Pei Miao got up and dragged the suitcase to the inside to trade.

When he got to the inner room, Pei Miao found that there were several small rooms. The room he was in was small, probably only fifteen square meters, and a pile of money was neatly piled up in the corner, like a pile of red bricks piled up in the corner. There is a sense of visual impact.

There are five people in this room and two rectangular tables.

As soon as Pei Miao came in, the other party urged: "Hurry up and trade, time is tight."

Pei Miao didn't speak, opened the suitcase, and took out the cash in stacks. The money was folded, and each stack was 120. Pei Miao counted [-] million and put it on the table.

The five people went up together, put the money into the money counters and counted them separately, and the five money counters counted together, and the speed was very fast.

In less than 2 minutes, all the money was counted, and there was a difference of 100 yuan. Pei Miao planned to take another one from the suitcase and give it to them.

Unexpectedly, the other party waved his hand generously: "Okay, the thing is yours, take it out."

Pei Miao tried to put the two Tang Sancai in the suitcase, but there was not enough space, so he could only put the Tang Sancai camel in the suitcase, and the Tang Sancai horse in his arms, pulled the suitcase out, and returned to his place superior.

Wang Huijun looked at the tri-colored Tang horse in Pei Miao's arms, took a close look at it for a moment, and asked with a smile, "You said that this pair of tri-colored Tang is true and the other is fake, so this should only be the real one."

Pei Miao said, "It's just fake."

Wang Huijun was taken aback when he heard the words, then took another look, frowned and said, "It's not like, I have several Tang Sancai in my family, all of which are very similar to this craft."

Pei Miao said, "I'll explain it to you after the auction is over. I can't explain it clearly."

"Okay." Wang Huijun nodded.

Another treasure was put on stage, this time it was actually a painting, and it was the "Drunken Picture of Peach Blossom Temple" by Tang Bohu, a famous painter in Ming Dynasty.

Hearing Eagle said it was Tang Bohu's painting, there was a lot of commotion in the audience. Anyone who collects antiques doesn't like Tang Bohu's painting. It would be more face-saving to hang it at home or in the office. However, there is a premise that it must be an authentic work.

Because of Tang Bohu's great reputation, his imitation paintings have emerged in endlessly since ancient times. Someone once said that the number of Tang Bohu's imitation paintings can rank among the top three in the world of antique calligraphy and painting.

So when they heard that this was a painting by Tang Bohu, everyone was both excited and worried, and they all hoped that it was an authentic painting.

Unexpectedly, Wang Huijun said: "This must be a fake, I have seen the real one."

Pei Miao was taken aback when he heard the words. He could see that the aperture of this painting just reached the Jiajing era through the supernatural power of Taixu Eye. He thought it was an authentic work. Unexpectedly, Wang Huijun had seen the original work, so he asked, "Where can I see it?" Arrived?"

Wang Huijun said: "It's the friend I mentioned before. The authenticity of this painting is with him. He specially asked experts from the Palace Museum to appraise it. It can't be wrong."

Pei Miao nodded slowly after hearing the words: "Since it was appraised by experts from the Palace Museum, it should be unmistakable."

Pei Miao also believed that this painting was a copy, but it was a copy of the same period of the Ming Dynasty. If the person who copied the painting was good at painting and the price was right, he could take this painting.

The next step was to go to the stage to check. Pei Miao and the others were still the fourth batch to go up. After Pei Miao approached, he didn't use the ability of his right hand for the first time, but checked with his naked eyes.

Taking a closer look, he found many inconsistencies in this painting. First of all, the painting style of this painting is not like Tang Bohu's painting style. , maybe the author was drinking while painting. The content of this painting is Tang Bohu and his extremely handsome friend drinking wine and admiring the peach blossoms in Peach Blossom Temple. It is also in an unstable standing posture, holding a wine vessel in his hand.The other person was sitting next to the desk under the peach blossom tree. He didn't know whether he was writing or painting there, and there was a wine glass on the desk.The inscription and postscript of this painting is "Song of Peach Blossom Temple", signed by Peach Blossom Immortal, and the seal is also Tang Bohu's seal.

Although the painting is not like Tang Bohu's painting style, the characters are very similar to Tang Bohu's characters, almost to the point of being fake, and it feels like the painting is not made by the same person.

As for the authenticity of the seal, the light here is not very good, Pei Miao felt that it was a bit difficult to judge the authenticity of the seal with the naked eye, so he used the ability of his right hand.

This painting appeared in Pei Miao's mind, and with a slight movement of his thoughts, the painting was infinitely enlarged in his mind, and then he carefully checked every detail.

This inspection shocked him, because he found that the painting was not simple. After he zoomed in on the painting, he could clearly see the characters in the painting. The person sitting by the desk and painting was actually Zhu Zhishan!

How did Pei Miao know that he belonged to Zhu Zhishan? Because he was painting, and the painting he made in the painting was exactly the same as the painting Pei Miao and the others were looking at now. Of course, others couldn't see it at all. After all, the size of the painting in the painting is no bigger than a matchbox, and it looks like some ink was randomly scribbled on.

In fact, it is not, it is the micro-painting technique, which is to use extremely detailed techniques to draw a picture on a very small thing. Such a small picture may be difficult to see clearly even with a general magnifying glass.

The most important thing is that the painting in the painting is signed with the words Zhu Zhishan, and the words Zhu Zhishan probably need to be checked with a microscope.

Pei Miao was very shocked. How Zhu Zhishan did it is really unimaginable.

Now that he found Zhu Zhishan, Pei Miao immediately compared the painting style of this painting with Zhu Zhishan's painting style. After this comparison, he immediately discovered that there are many similarities between this painting and Zhu Zhishan's painting style. It's just because Zhu Zhishan deliberately imitated Tang Bohu's painting style, he hid his own painting style.

Pei Miao used his ability to check the inscriptions and inscriptions, and found that the words in the inscriptions and inscriptions were extremely similar to Tang Bohu's characters. Only he could do this, so the inscriptions and inscriptions are both Tang Bohu wrote it himself.

As for the seal, it is also Tang Bohu's own seal, without any trace of fraud.

Seeing this, Pei Miao had already made up the picture in his mind. At that time, Tang Bohu, Zhu Zhishan and another friend were drinking in the peach blossom forest. They were so drunk that everyone drifted away, so they clamored to take a selfie to record the happiness. However, they don’t have mobile phones or SLR cameras, so they can only draw.

Tang Bohu and Zhu Zhishan each drew a picture, and for some reason, perhaps because he was drunk, Tang Bohu mistakenly took Zhu Zhishan's painting as his own, wrote an inscription on it, and stamped his own seal As for whether Zhu Zhishan turned against him after waking up, no one knows.

This painting has Zhu Zhishan's painting, Tang Bohu's calligraphy and seal, it is considered as the joint efforts of two people, its value has naturally increased, so this painting is very precious.

Returning to the position, this time Wang Huijun didn't ask Pei Miao whether the painting was real or not, because he believed it was fake, but Pei Miao took the initiative to say: "There is something about this painting, it might be Zhu Zhishan's imitation of Tang Bohu's painting, you Do you want to take it off?"

Wang Huijun was pleasantly surprised when he heard the words, but then he thought that things like calligraphy and painting are the most difficult to see accurately in dimly lit places. After all, there are too many details that need to be paid attention to. How can Pei Miao determine that this is Zhu Zhishan's imitation of Tang Bohu's painting? Besides, Even if Zhu Zhishan imitated Tang Bohu's paintings, why are the signatures and signatures Tang Bohu's?

Wang Huijun naturally expressed his doubts.

Pei Miao didn't know how to explain it to him, so she simply didn't explain, and said, "Actually, I just rely on my feeling. After all, the light here is not very good, and I wear tinted glasses. Anyway, this is a Ming Dynasty painting. The painter is also superb, Mr. Wang, if you don’t want it, then help me, I want to take it.”

Wang Huijun nodded with a smile: "Okay, just make an offer."

With his words, Pei Miao was reassured, and he dared to conclude that the price of this painting would not be too high.

Sure enough, Pei Miao's prediction was very accurate. The starting price of this painting was 30 yuan, but only a few people bid. When the price rose to 50 yuan, only two people were still bidding. When it reached 58 yuan, the price did not move. I've already asked if anyone has offered a higher price.

At this time, Pei Miao held up a sign to quote: "60!"

"The guest on the 20th has paid out to 60, are you willing to pay a higher price?"

The previous bidder shook his head and gave up.

Eagle asked twice, but no one bid again, so he started counting down: "One time for 60! Two times for 60..."

Pei Miao clenched his fists tightly, and his palms began to sweat. To be honest, he was very worried that Yang Tai would interfere again at this time.

"Four million three times!"

After the eagle shouted these words, Pei Miao let out a long breath of relief.

Wang Huijun handed the trolley of the suitcase to Pei Miao again, not even the password this time.

Pei Miao got up, took the suitcase and went inside to do business.

Looking at Pei Miao's back, Yang Tai sneered and said to himself, "Silly, would I be so stupid if you want to dig a hole for me to jump in?"

After he finished speaking, he turned his head to look at the person beside him, and asked, "Mr. Zhang, are you sure that painting is not Tang Bohu's authentic work?"

"I'm sure." Mr. Zhang nodded and said, "I believe I'm not the only one who saw it. Most of the people present saw it. Otherwise, why did Tang Bohu's painting only have so few bids, and it was sold for only 60 yuan."

Yang Tai chuckled and nodded when he heard the words: "It turns out that Pei Miao is an idiot who doesn't understand antiques at all, hehe, then I won't bother to bid with him anymore, it's boring."
