Chapter 0051: Old Fox
The person who came was about 50 years old and was slim, but he looked quite strong. It was so cold outside, but he was only wearing a white silk shirt and silk pants, and wearing a pair of cotton shoes under his feet. He looked as usual.
As he approached in front of him with laughter, Ding Yang saw two smooth walnuts in his hand at a glance. He was hovering left and right as his fingers stirred, making a collision sound from time to time.
"Hahaha, I am the manager of Gubaozhai. My surname is Bai. I am the one who is the leisurely leisure, Bai Moxian. If Xiaoyou Ding doesn't dislike me, just call me Lao Bai. I heard from Xiaohan that Xiaoyou Ding has a good ancient painting and brought it over, so hurry up and open your eyes. To be honest, the market for ancient paintings in recent years has been bullish! Even if this painting is just a imitation of later generations, it is amazing!"
Ding Yang in front sounded pretty good, but when he got to the back, he felt a little harsh. By the way, you haven't even read it, and just listen to Han Zhen's introduction, you decided that my painting was a copy of Wu Daozi. Isn't it too confident, right?
However, after experiencing this time, he became famous after becoming famous in the Song Dynasty, especially before leaving, he had a meeting with Emperor Shenzong Zhao Xu - after all, he had seen the national leader.
Except for holding Wu Daozi's "Portrait of the Peacock King", I felt frightened, and after I let it go, I had already recovered from my normal heart. At this time, I heard Bai Moxian say this, and I couldn't help but feel moved: "Boss Bai, what you said is a bit arbitrary, right? I dare not promise anything else, but this painting is definitely not a fake work by later generations."
Bai Moxian went straight to the painting table, and after hearing the words "Package", his cheeks obviously twitched slightly.
However, the time was short and almost flashed, and even Ding Yang did not notice his reaction.
"Haha, that's great. The works of Mr. Wu Daozi, the painting saint, have not been discovered yet. If what Ding Xiaoyou said is true, I'm afraid this will be the only one in the world. It will definitely cause a sensation in the world at that time!"
Having said that, Bai Moxian did not take it seriously.
Although Han Zhen has a good vision, he often doesn’t need to take action on the appraisal. But this painting is too exaggerated. Who is Wu Daozi? His paintings don’t even have a country. Where can Ding Yang find them?
So before I could read it, Bai Moxian felt that this was impossible.
However, since even Han Zhen could not see the flaws, the level of fraud must be quite high. This alone would definitely be worth a lot of money. Of course, it is more likely to be a masterpiece imitated by later generations, and it is understandable that Han Zhen could not tell it.
But no matter how much you say, you still need to prove it by the work itself.
After only the first glance at Bai Moxian, he fell into it and no longer cared about the other side.
Han Zhen also began to carefully judge and study again to find some flaws.
Bai Moxian had already talked about him just now. Although the words were tactful, he was just not cautious enough in his words. The original works of Wu Daozi were absolutely impossible to know without even looking at them!
But Han Zhen was a little dissatisfied.
He has seen this painting several times, from strokes, to painting style, from paper, to ink, and even the collection of seals, but he has indeed found no flaws.
If such research is finally judged as a fake, then he can only convince himself - the fake is too sloppy.
After Bai Moxian really saw it, he could no longer remove his eyes like Han Zhen before. Even when he only started to look at it for the first time, he felt a vague feeling in his heart - this painting should be the original work!
Bai Moxian's sixth sense in this life is quite accurate, and almost all judgments that are vaguely aware of the show or danger have been verified later.
But his reason told him that it was impossible for Wu Daozi's original painting to appear in front of him.
There has been no corresponding news for hundreds of years, so how could it suddenly appear in Gubaozhai today?
After a preliminary examination, he came to the same conclusion as Han Zhen - this is the original work!
I couldn't believe it, wondering if I had missed something, so I started to test it again. This time, I increased my attention to all aspects of details, but I still found no flaws after seeing it.
Not only did he look at it, Bai Moxian also discussed each detail with Han Zhen while looking. He originally wanted to confuse his own "biased" judgment through multiple ideas, but he didn't expect that the more he discussed it, the more details he found. And all the evidence points to the original work of the painting saint Wu Daozi of the Tang Dynasty.
After the final approval was completed, Bai Moxian and Han Zhen seemed to have fought a tough battle, covered in sweat.
But they couldn't see any fatigue from their eyes, but instead were filled with unspeakable excitement and excitement.
Today's discovery, let alone the collection industry will be affected, even the entire cultural and archaeological world will be scared. The original work of Wu Daozi, a painting saint who has never appeared in China, was unexpectedly possible to see it at Gubaozhai today.
At this time, they found that Ding Yang, who was waiting next to him, had no idea how many times he had added a cup of tea and had no taste.
Looking outside the window, the sky was dimming even though it was dimming. The VIP room had no experience with the lights on all year round. After looking at the watch, I realized that so long had passed.
The sun sets early in winter. Although it is only around 18 o'clock in the evening, it is all dark outside.
As soon as he thought about this, Bai Moxian suddenly realized that Ding Yang could withstand such loneliness at such a young age and stayed by his side without saying a word. This was impossible for many people.
However, in connection with the earliest saying of Ding Yang "protecting", Bai Moxian suddenly had some guess in his heart.
What profession do you need to engage in to develop such a loneliness-bearing personality? His son is older than Ding Yang, but he doesn’t have the least chance of living in a leisurely manner all day? It seems that Ding Yang is probably born in that industry.
In fact, only those who are born in this industry can explain it clearly. What can the original painting of Wu Daozi fall into his hands? Moreover, he dared to "protect" it as the original before he could identify it!
After thinking it through, Bai Moxian's expression changed slightly.
However, there are some things that cannot be said at present, and we need to observe and see if their team has this value.
"Hahaha, no wonder Ding Xiaoyou was so confident before. It turns out that he is here." Bai Moxian put down the magnifying glass in his hand, slowly took off his white gloves, and sat over with a smile.
Ding Yang did not have the intention to be polite to him. He endured it for so long and did not speak. If he hadn't thought about the value of this painting, how could he persist: "Boss Bai, you are polite. We are not secretly talking. Hurry up, do you think my painting is the original? How much should it be worth!"
"Haha, Xiaoyou Ding is so cheerful, so hurry up and talk!" Bai Moxian's eyes flashed, but his face was full of a kind smile: "I don't know if Ding Xiaoyou's side is not convenient for Lao Bai to tell me about this painting. How did you buy it?"
Sure enough, when he saw Ding Yang's face sank, "What? Boss Bai still cares about these things? I just remembered communicating with Manager Han, and Gu Baozhai didn't ask about the origin of the things!"
Bai Moxian was not angry when he heard this, but instead waved his hand with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes, what Xiaohan said is right, it is Lao Bai's. It's really that Xiaoyou Ding, the things you took out this time were too shocking, which made Lao Bai unable to help but be curious, so he talked too much. No matter what, don't worry, our Gu Baozhai is making brands, not a one-time deal!"
That's it, no one knows what he thinks in his heart.
Ding Yang also understood that wealth was moving, and that in the face of huge benefits, any principle could be violated.
With the value of this "Peacock King" by Wu Daozi, even taking risks is not a big deal.
If there was no way to go, Ding Yang would have wanted to come here with his paintings so risky. If Gu Baozhai had something that shouldn't have, then he would be very dangerous.
But he couldn't take this painting to a large auction house, neither domestic nor foreign auction houses.
The priceless but unspeakable history can only become a symbol of his miserableness in the end. Perhaps he can find private buyers in Gubaozhai without attracting special attention from the outside world.
Last time Han Zhen told him that Gu Baozhai would not ask about the origin of the antiques, Ding Yang was scrupulous and had inquire about the news about Gu Baozhai in recent years. In the end, he found that the store was very ordinary and had no negative news.
"Okay, I came here because I trusted Gu Baozhai's reputation. I believe that Boss Bai will not lie to me!" Ding Yang just put up the ladder and asked: "Boss Bai, how much is this painting worth?"
"Oh, Xiaoyou Ding, don't worry! If this painting is indeed the "Portrait of the Peacock King" by Wu Daozi of the Tang Dynasty painting saint, it would be a priceless treasure!"
The meaning in his words was a little wrong, and Ding Yang suddenly became anxious.
"Huo" stood up and his face turned stern: "Hmph, I thought Gu Baozhai had such a great reputation and had a lot of background, but it turned out to be a false reputation."
Han Zhen was stunned, but Bai Moxian just smiled: "Where did Ding Xiaoyou's words come from?"
"Haha, Boss Bai asked me? You and Manager Han had been appraised for more than ten hours, and I was hungry. In the end, you told me that if it was a real painting... By the way, I have seen your appraisal level."
While speaking, Ding Yang turned around and reached out to put away the painting first.
Seeing his unprofessional technique, Han Zhen felt that his whole heart was bleeding. He wanted to rush over to stop it, but was blocked by Bai Moxian's eyes, so he had to watch Ding Yang ruin things.
In fact, Bai Moxian was thrusting when he saw Ding Yang's actions. No one who loved collecting could bear it. But when he saw this scene, he became more and more sure about some speculations in his heart.
"My friend Ding is wronged! Although Gu Baozhai is not as good as the Capital Museum, Lao Bai is not an unknown person!" Bai Moxian was still slow and not in a hurry.
"Hmph, after a whole day of hard work, this conclusion came to you...hehe..."
Seeing that Ding Yang was about to finish the sorting, Bai Moxian finally stood up and grabbed him: "My friend Ding is too anxious! I didn't say that your thing is a copy, but it's a big deal. I always have to find a few more experts to take a look! I guess Mr. Ding doesn't want such expensive things to be concluded by us, right?"
"Oh? That boss Bai means..."
"My friend Ding left a contact information first, and I will mobilize my relationship to find a few more authoritative experts to come and take a look. If this painting is sure to be the original, then... tsk... so Mr. Ding should not be anxious."
Chapter completed!
