Chapter 346 Appreciate everyone
Chen Yu pondered for a moment when he heard this, and then smiled gracefully, "If I guessed correctly, it should be because of this signature that pretended to be Yi Yuanji.
"This painting itself is an anonymous copy of the Ming Dynasty. If this signature is not available, the price of this painting should be much higher, and it is possible that it will be several times more likely!
"It's a pity that after having this signature, it's like adding extra money, giving people the feeling of cheating money just to fake it.
"The copy becomes a fake, just like a few grains of sand falling into a good bowl of rice. You can eat it, but you always feel a little uncomfortable."
After saying that, Chen Yu shook his head with regret.
To be honest, the eight-character running script style "Assistant teaching and scattered officials, Yi Yuanji" on the painting is indeed a failure, which directly lowers the market value of the painting itself.
However, relatively speaking, another appraisal inscription on the painting, that is, "The Ming people painted the "Six Apes Pictures"" made Chen Yu feel a little confused.
The Song Dynasty paintings are also known as the stars, but this appraisal inscription is a generation of Song paintings to become Ming paintings.
This big misunderstanding is no longer a low price. To be serious, it is equivalent to selling gold as scrap iron directly.
Generally speaking, the identification and inscriptions and inscriptions on ancient paintings are all played by ancient people, and the premise is that ancient people with special reputation and a very conceited personality must be.
For example, the famous Dong Qichang.
No matter how famous calligraphy and paintings are, there is no such thing as Dong Qichang dare not write.
The original works of top painters such as Wang Wei, Dong Yuan, Fan Kuan, and Zhao Chang have his appraisal inscriptions written by him.
If it were ordinary people, they would never dare to write this way.
In Shen Yu's impression, his grandfather didn't do this.
Because the person who identified the calligraphy and paintings did not see the original author's paintings with his own eyes, no one dared to guarantee that a certain calligraphy and painting was painted by anyone.
After Chen Yu said this, the look of Zheng Congyun's eyes on him was directly exposed to Venus.
Chen Yu said something right. For Zheng Congyun, the most disgusting thing about this "Six Apes Picture" is the eight words "Assistant teaching and scattered officials, Yi Yuanji's work".
A good copy of the "Ming Dynasty copy" has become a fake, who doesn't make it uncomfortable?
If there were no 500-year-old Huanghuali floor poles and the surface was carved with exquisite patterns, Zheng Congyun would give up to 50,000 because of this fake signature. After having the Huanghuali Tiandi Poles worth hundreds of thousands of yuan, he would give up to 100,000 yuan more.
Therefore, it means that Chen Yu is completely guessing.
I don’t know why, Zheng Congyun has a good impression of the young man in front of him, and he has the kind of good impression from the bottom of his heart, and even has the idea of wanting to join Chen Yu to his subordinates.
But this can only be thought about. No one can be the master of this young man.
Without it, there is no generation!
Zheng Congyun's eyes are so familiar with them, because he has seen them in Liu Dongyang, the east of Bogutang store.
"No way? Mr. Zheng also wants to poach me?"
If you can become an appraiser or even chief appraiser of a super antique shop like Bogutang or Wanbaolou before you obtain the special ability to appraise treasures, it is completely unattainable for Chen Yu.
But now that I have the golden eyes for treasure appraisal, I naturally make a fortune by myself.
Besides, how comfortable it is to be a boss when showing others a store? No matter how close a relationship is, it depends on the person's expression.
And Shen Yu is not short of money now.
It would be great if I had shortage of money to gambling stones. The reason why Chen Yu has not gambling stones now is that he does not want to be too popular. After he has a matching status, he will not attract too much attention from others or even inexplicably cause trouble.
Fortunately, I officially took the first step today and joined the Chuzhou Collection Association and the Dongjiang Collection Association within one day, which was equivalent to having two amulets to protect me.
There is no need to mention the improvement of connections. He has directly formed a relationship with Xiao Zhongying and Mr. Wu. This is something that many people have a hard time dreaming of.
In order to make unnecessary talk, Chen Yu didn't want to waste time anymore, so he simply asked for a price negotiation, "Old Zheng, Sister Qin, no, my girlfriend's younger brother is very interested in your Ming version of "Six Apes Pictures". He has a good family condition, but his own money is not much, and he is not afraid of laughing at you. Can this painting be cheaper?"
After saying that, Chen Yu smiled bitterly in his heart, "Sister Qin, I will take advantage of your name first in order to get a bargain, but it is also for Yu'an. I hope you don't blame me."
Zheng Congyun, who had already sat on the Grand Master's chair, first took a cup of hot tea handed over by the clerk, and nodded slightly, "This painting is something that others come to buy, but Xiao Shen, you are naturally different.
"Don't mention that I have a long-term relationship, even I am very close to you. This is how I will give you 200,000 yuan, so you can give me 1.3 million yuan. This is also the profit I can share after selling this painting. Xiao Shen, how is that good?"
Chen Yu frowned slightly when he heard this.
He bargained not to save money. He mainly bought antiques without bargaining, because if you didn’t bargain, it means that you are very eager to buy antiques, so the seller will subconsciously think that he might have lost his treasure and cause unnecessary trouble out of thin air.
So no matter whether it is an antique stall or an antique shop, you are always bargaining.
But Zheng Congyun said that he gave up his profit, and Chen Yu felt a little uncomfortable. He picked up other people's liabilities and even caused losses. He could not do this in his life.
"Old Zheng, how can you suffer a loss? You look down on me, and I feel frightened. If you save you from the profits that belong to me, I will be a sin.
"Besides, although I am not rich, I can still pay 200,000 yuan. So, I'll buy this painting at the original price." Chen Yu looked at Zheng Congyun and said his thoughts calmly.
Zheng Congyun seemed to have thought that Chen Yu would say this a long time ago, but he smiled, "Xiao Shen, you don't have the same 200,000 yuan, is it just a shortcoming for me? And what I said is like splashed water, how can I take it back?
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"Well, why not, Xiao Shen, please spend some time telling the appraisal knowledge of ancient paintings to the guys in my store. Although selling antiques requires eloquence, it is not OK to have some basic knowledge of antiques."
Chen Yu wanted to be humble, but Pei Yuan behind him whispered, "Brother-in-law, let me say this business can be done, you can earn 200,000 with just a few words. You are not short of money, so it's okay to lend it to me. I'm so poor now that I'm almost going to the pawnshop to act as pants."
Chen Yu thought about it for a moment but did not refuse, but nodded slightly.
Soon, more than 20 Wanbaolou clerks surrounded Chen Yu, some of whom even ran down from the second and third floors.
Chen Yu did not hide it. He and Zheng Congyuan each sat on a chair of the Grand Master. While drinking tea, they slowly spoke: "The calligraphy and paintings have been fake since ancient times. Those that were too old are no evidence to be verified. The calligraphy of Wang Xizhi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was relatively early.
Wang Xizhi's calligraphy and calligraphy treasures were sky-high when Wang Xizhi was still alive!
Every time Wang Xizhi wrote a piece of writing, someone immediately imitated it in the circle of literati.
Many high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen were unable to find a calligraphy for Wang Xi, so they could only buy it from someone else’s hand.
I have no room to buy because the supply is in short supply.
After someone saw this, this transaction can be done!
So imitations and counterfeits appeared.
The mounting of calligraphy and paintings include: washing, peeling, repairing, and complete!
There are more falsifications of calligraphy and paintings, including: copying, copying, imitating, creating, adding, adding, modifying, disassembling, and replacing.
However, one thing is that counterfeiting is counterfeiting, and counterfeiting is counterfeiting. No matter how superb the counterfeiting method is or how difficult it is to distinguish between true and false, but counterfeiting is different from genuine works after all.
And the fake method is very powerful, and it is also ordinary.
There is not much time, so I will talk about a few things you may encounter in the future.
As we all know, what ancient paintings need is a reputation.
The paintings drawn by celebrities are sold at a high price, and no matter how good the paintings are drawn by unknown people, it is useless.
Therefore, the first thing a counterfeiter should consider is quite clear. To put it bluntly, it is to try every means to increase the value of the counterfeit.
The most common method used to increase your value is the word "用".
When working in an antique shop, we naturally know that most calligraphy and paintings before the Yuan Dynasty were not well-known, which is the anonymous paintings in the mouths of collectors.
Since the Northern Song Dynasty, some people have identified anonymous paintings with famous figures based on the style of paintings and then made high prices, such as engraving a seal with the name of an ancient person on the painting, and then imitating the handwriting of an ancient person and writing the inscriptions, etc.
However, this is a hard counterfeiting method, which is a inferior counterfeiting method.
Because adding inscriptions will inevitably affect the original style of calligraphy and paintings, and will make the calligraphy and paintings look inconsistent.
There is also a name for this type of calligraphy and painting called "Fake at a glance". Old collectors can tell that this is a fake just by taking a look.
Even if you are not an old collector, you can tell the counterfeit by comparing the seals and handwritings on the original. Therefore, this method of counterfeiting is more about fooling newcomers who have just entered the industry.
The second is the word "add".
Some people may ask, isn’t adding it just add it?
In fact, it is not the case, adding is different from adding. Adding is an enhanced version of "Open", which is the 2.0 version.
Some ancient paintings do not have a single meaning, while some ancient paintings have a lot of meaning.
For example, Tang Yin spent a painting, and then Shen Zhou, Wen Zhengming, Zhu Zhishan and others wrote poems and seals on it.
These extra features will increase the value of the painting.
But in the eyes of the ancients, these celebrity inscriptions are far less than the profit of making a fortune in a great way.
So the forger will cut off the calligraphy and paintings that are well-known, or have the inscriptions of anonymous paintings, or those whose inscriptions are inscriptions but whose authors are unknown, and then add them to the inscriptions of famous artists and reframe them.
After doing this, the value of a painting will not double, but will increase by a thousand times or even ten thousand times!
Moreover, this kind of fake technique is the inscriptions added when reframed calligraphy and paintings, and these inscriptions are all real, so it is extremely difficult to distinguish them."
Bang!
After saying this, Chen Yu was about to drink a sip of hot tea to moisten his throat, but at this moment, he heard a bang, and the two red painted jujube wooden doors leading to the backyard of Wanbao Building were actually knocked open.
“Huh?”
Seeing the visitor, Chen Yu actually shouted out in disbelief!
