Shen Yu immediately turned cold and said, "Because I'm watching it! You can watch it if you want, but you have to wait until I finish watching it before buying it. Do you understand the queue? First come, first served, do you understand?"

Are you kidding me? You just want to see it? Now on the market, any of Shen Zhou’s suspected paintings are priced in the millions.

Those that have been circulated in an orderly manner and can be confirmed to be authentic often cost tens of millions, and there are also many that have been auctioned for 40 to 50 million.

Among them, high-quality masterpieces can even fetch sky-high nine-digit prices. For example, the vertical scroll painting "Matsuko Taoist" finally sold for 152 million yuan.

Another set of farewell hand scrolls was also sold for 148 million.

Even if this copy of "Ta Ge Tu" was copied by an unknown person in the Ming Dynasty and then asked Shen Zhou to write a poem and seal it, it would still be a seven-digit flaw at least.

If you were really lucky enough to come across a copy drawn by Shen Zhou, it might be worth tens of millions.

Shen Yu is most annoyed by people who claim to be beautiful and then ask others to do what they want. I don’t know you, so why should you do whatever you say?

It can't be said that he doesn't know her at all. Shen Yu felt that the beautiful woman in front of him seemed familiar, as if he had seen her on some occasion.

But it can only be said that it seems like it, because Shen Yu has gone through her appearance several times in his mind and can't remember where he saw it.

But having said that, let alone meeting each other, even if we are friends for more than ten years, now is not the time to give in.

Sometimes, brothers have to settle accounts openly!

After thinking about it, Shen Yu simply rolled up the painting and hugged it in his arms.

The smile on the woman's face suddenly froze, and she didn't react for a moment. He rejected me?

Someone actually rejected me?

It seems that no one has rejected me for many years.

"Xiaoying, don't be unreasonable. My little friend is right. He came first, so he has to look first. Don't you even understand the principle of first come, first served?

"Young man, old man, I would also like to ask, do you think the painting in your arms is an authentic painting from ancient times? Let me remind you, this is probably a copy."

The person who scolded the beautiful woman and asked Shen Yu at the same time was an old man with a long beard who was energetic and had an extraordinary bearing.

He is about seventy years old, not very tall, and his clothes are very ordinary, just an ordinary old man's sweatshirt and cloth shoes, but when the old man stands in front of the stall, he seems to have a calmness like a mountain.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

Judging from their looks, it’s likely that the granddaughter is related to her grandfather.

Regarding the old man, Shen Yu couldn't sit down and talk. He quickly stood up and said solemnly: "To be honest with you, I don't care much about the authenticity of this painting because I don't intend to make a fortune by picking it up.< /p>

"And in my eyes, the value of a piece of art has little to do with the time it exists.

"Even if this painting was painted yesterday, as long as I think it is to my liking, I will like it and buy it at a high price for my collection."

"Oh?" The old man looked at Xia Shen Yu again with some surprise, and then nodded slowly: "Young man, you have a good attitude! Very few collectors nowadays have such a good attitude.

"Okay, take your time and watch, Xiaoying, then let's go shopping elsewhere."

The woman named Xiaoying came to her senses after being reminded by her grandfather. She bit her red lips lightly and looked at Shen Yu deeply when she left, as if she wanted to remember Shen Yu's appearance in her mind.

When Shen Yu saw this, he made a face at him. The angry woman blushed, stamped her feet bitterly, and then left quickly with her grandfather.

The clicking sound of high heels on the ground kept sounding, as if the feet were stepping heavily.

What Shen Yu said just now is pure nonsense and a joke. If he doesn't do it for money, why would he squat here in the hot weather?

Copy?

What happened to the facsimile?

In the antique shop, good replicas are said to be inferior to authentic ones.

In ancient times, there were often many copies of a famous painting or post.

The biggest advantage of copying is that if the original work is damaged, the calligraphy, painting and calligraphy will not be lost.

For example, in the Tang Dynasty, "Lanting Preface" was copied by great calligraphers such as Yu Shinan, Ouyang Xun, Chu Suiliang, and Feng Chengsu.

Among them, Feng Chengsu's Shenlong version is the most famous, and in the eyes of many people it is no different from the original.

If there were no copies, it would be impossible for future generations to see the elegance of the calligraphy sage Wang Xizhi who was the best in the world.

Because the authentic copy of "Lanting Preface" had long been taken into the tomb by Li Shimin, a die-hard fan of Wang Xizhi.

Famous national treasures such as "The Picture of the Walking Chariot", "The Picture of Luo Shen Fu", "The Picture of Han Xizai's Night Banquet", "The Picture of Lady Guo Guo's Spring Outing", etc. also have copies in existence.

Therefore, as long as the quality of the copy is high enough, you don’t have to worry about not being able to sell it at a high price.

At this time, the stall owner Lao Liu happened to come back with a set of pancakes and fruits. He looked at the backs of his grandfather and grandson in front and asked Shen Yu, "What? Do you know each other?"

Shen Yu shook his head and smiled: "I don't know."

Then he sniffed the air and immediately showed a look of understanding, "Lao Wei's pancakes contain at least three eggs and a spoonful of their special spicy oil. Lao Wei's pickles should be Also released.

"Brother Liu, your little life is really wonderful!"

Lao Liu smiled and took out two more beef biscuits like a magic trick, "Here, you treat me to eat Xiao Long Bao, and I treat you to beef sesame cakes. Brother Liu, I'm pretty good, right?"

"Thank you, Brother Liu, but I really can't eat anymore." Shen Yu quickly declined. He really couldn't eat anymore. When he came, he drank a big bowl of wontons and ate more than a dozen steamed buns. His stomach could not hold anything else. of.

Lao Liu laughed when he heard this: "I'm just letting you, but these are not enough for me."

Shen Yu didn't take it seriously at all. The old man in front of him spoke in this way, and he had long been used to it.

"It smells so good."

Lao Liu took a big bite of the pancake fruit and wanted to tease Shen Yu a few words, but before he could say anything, the radio signaled that storytelling was starting. Lao Liu hurriedly listened to it for fear of missing a wonderful part.< /p>

When Shen Yu saw Lao Liu obsessed with storytelling, he was happy that he would not disturb him.

This old man is so eloquent that he speaks like the water of the Yellow River without stopping. If you don't tell him, he won't be happy. He is simply a talkative.

Besides, Shen Yu is still immersed in the excitement of picking up leaks, so how can he be in the mood to chat with him?

Putting down the painting carefully, Shen Yu suddenly frowned slightly. If he was still a little confused, it was because he didn't know how Lao Liu got this copy of Shen Zhou's painting.

No wonder Shen Yu was confused, paper has a lifespan of a thousand years, but silk has a lifespan of half.

Silk paintings like "Ta Ge Tu" can be circulated for hundreds of thousands of years. They need to be carefully preserved by successive collectors and framed many times before they can be properly preserved. Otherwise, they would have long since rotted into a pile of slag.

Generally speaking, high-quality paintings like this should be circulated in an orderly manner. The sudden appearance of such a good painting at a small stall like Laoliu really made Shen Yu a little confused.

"Could it be that Lao Liu secretly went to dig out the old house?

"Hey, I don't want to think about it anymore. Anyway, this painting will be my own soon. I will have plenty of time to study it slowly in the future."

Shen Yu, 24 years old, is from Jiangnan Province. His ancestral home is Chuzhou and he grew up in Dongjiang, the provincial capital.

Because of his family background, he has been exposed to antiques since he was a child, and he is somewhat famous among the younger generation in the Jiangnan antique circle.

Shen Yu is not the kind of antique lover who dares to hunt for treasures after reading a few antique books. He has a true family background.

Grandfather Zhonglou was the lifelong honorary president of the Dongjiang Antique Collecting Association during his lifetime, and he had never made an appraisal of calligraphy, painting, or porcelain.

In particular, it is not necessary to completely open the painting to identify calligraphy and painting. You only need to open half of the painting to determine whether it is authentic or not. Therefore, Chongzhonglou is also known as "Shen Half a Piece" in the antique circle.

Shen Yu grew up next to his grandfather and has learned basic knowledge of various antiques since he can remember.

Although he is not a gifted person, he has accumulated a lot of knowledge over the past twenty years, whether it is porcelain, calligraphy, painting or jade.

After graduating from college, Shen Yu was introduced by his grandfather to work at "Bao Yuxuan", one of the famous antique stores in Dongjiang.

But the good times didn't last long, because in an accident, Shen Yu dropped a glass Zhengyang Luzigang brand belonging to a VIP customer in the store to the ground.

Knock off a defect the size of half a grain of rice at the lower edge.

This time it’s completely ruined.

Because that guest had a great background, his family was in the jade raw material business, and his father was even known as the Dongjiang Jade King.

Baoyuxuan purchases two-thirds of its goods from its company.

The cherished thing was broken, and the other party was very angry. Not only did he want Shen Yu to compensate for the loss, but he also threatened to tell Shen Yu to get lost. From now on, he would never want to gain a foothold in the Dongjiang jade and antique circle.

Chu Yaozong, the owner of Baoyuxuan Store, was benevolent to Shen Yu when he was young. He not only paid millions in compensation to Shen Yu, but also tried his best to make peace with him, hoping to gain forgiveness for Shen Yu.

But the other party refused to give up and even refused to give Chu Yaozong face.

There was no other way, Shen Yu didn't want to embarrass Chu Yaozong, so he chose to resign.

It's not easy to just sit back and have nothing, so Shen Yu gritted his teeth and left Dongjiang, where he had lived for more than 20 years, and came to his hometown of Chuzhou alone to open an antique shop and start his own business and become his own boss.

Although the store has only been open for half a year, the business is very good. However, in the past few days, Shen Yu has been worried about the supply of goods.

To put it simply, the store is newly opened and there is nothing special about it.

Shen Yu is honest in his business, what is genuine is genuine, and what is imitation is imitation. He will never sell imitations as genuine, let alone sell fakes.

After selling more than a dozen real items in the store, Shen Yu suddenly found that he had nothing to sell.

There is a saying in the antique shop: Just be afraid of running out of supplies, but don’t be afraid of not being able to sell out.

There is no such thing as wholesale of antiques, the goods can only be accumulated slowly by oneself.

Generally speaking, you can either go shopping for treasures at street stalls, go to ancient towns to buy old houses, or wait for people to come to the store to sell them.

In addition to these three types, there is another kind of helpless move, which is to get the goods from a familiar colleague at a price slightly lower than the market price.

This is usually a newly opened store like Shen Yu, or someone who has promised others but cannot give them something, which is a no-brainer!
