Wang Bin, who was helping his father with work, wiped his hands, jogged to the garage, took out a box and a scroll from the trunk of the car he just drove back, and put them on the dining table.
Liu Jinyou was fiddling with things with a smile: "Xiao Zhangganzi, Wang Yan, you two come and take a look. This is my new treasure I got two days ago. Let's see how it goes."
Baolanhou was still looking carefree, looking at him from the inside out in the unexplained eyes of Su Meng and others. Gradually, he frowned, changed his informal look, and became serious.
Wang Yan didn't even need to look at anything, he could tell that the jar was fake just by looking at the appearance of the broken man. He washed his hands, dried them and walked to the table. He looked at the ink shrimp picture spread out on the dining table, felt the paper again, looked at the title and postscript, and nodded: "It's genuine. How much does it cost?" bought?"
"One hundred and fifty thousand." Hearing the confirmation from Wang Yan, an expert in calligraphy and painting, Liu Jinyou smiled and looked at Hou Su'e beside him: "Just take a look. I told you that my eyesight is fine, but you still don't believe me."
Hou Su'e pouted, snorted and said, "Look at my dad's expression, don't you understand what's going on? There's something wrong with that jar."
"What's the problem? Xiaozhangganzi, I had it authenticated by a machine two days ago, and the certificate is still here."
"Machine identification? Then the machine is not man-made? Old son-in-law, you underestimate people's abilities too much." The broken man snorted disdainfully and casually pushed the jar in front of Wang Yan: "You hug me."
Wang Yan picked up the jar and looked back and forth. Although he still can't tell stories, he has been studying these things for the past twenty-six years, and his level is much higher than when he first came here.
He said: "There are endless counterfeiting techniques, but they are less creative than the real craftsmen in ancient times. The detection of carbon 14 is not accurate. As long as you think of ways to create traces of time on the raw materials, It’s not a difficult task. In addition, the people who do the appraisal are also human beings. They only need to issue a report lightly, and it’s not up to them to decide whether it’s true or not? This jar, whether it’s enamel or inscription, the level of processing can be said to be top-notch. Perfect.
However, this jar is made of decals, and there are still some small flaws in the details. You know, this is a royal palace, and the slightest flaw cannot be tolerated. It must be perfect. It may not be well preserved and may get bumped, or it may be damaged due to improper use, but in the initial production, there must be no flaws. "
"Did you hear that? It's just a lie. Go home and make pickles." Baolanhou looked at the ugly old son-in-law with a smile, rubbed salt into the wound and continued to ask: "How much did it cost?"
Liu Jinyou didn't want to speak and refused to answer. Hou Su'e rolled her eyes at the old fat boy and said angrily: "Five hundred thousand! When I bought it, I told you to take a look before making a decision. He insisted that it was all small money. He said nothing. I bought it right away. Are you okay now? Let me see if you can sleep well these two days during the Chinese New Year."
Baolanhou laughed: "It's okay, isn't this a wealthy man? It's only five hundred thousand. How do you say it in southern dialect? Just sprinkle water. They say they have a big heart and a fat body. You can't forget such a small thing. I'm sorry for your fat body. Meat."
Liu Jinyou felt even more uncomfortable. As he said before, he didn't care about money, it just affected his mood. Especially now that there is such a petty Hou Popohou making fun of him, isn't he unhappy?
Su Meng asked curiously: "Uncle, where did you buy this thing?"
"Li Yuejin sent it when it snowed heavily two days ago."
"Li Yuejin?" Su Meng was stunned for a moment, not sure who this was. Since she moved out of that yard, she hasn't been back in the past few years. It has nothing to do with those messy things, so I don't know the specific situation of the old Han family. Even in the original drama, she was playing antiques with Na, but now she has no part in it and just concentrates on doing business.
After all, Wang Yan had too many things. When Wang Yan was free in the past two years, he sorted them out one by one. He kept the things that he thought were good and those that Su Meng liked, and donated all the remaining tens of thousands of antiques. To the Palace Museum. Even after donating so much, there is still a large amount left, and there are many orphans and treasures. In such a situation, how could Su Meng bother to study those things.
"Brother-in-law Chunming." Wang Yan explained, looking at the broken Hou who turned to look at him with a smile: "Master Hou, do you have any ideas?"
Baolanhou nodded: "It seems that the two of us have thought of getting together."
Su Meng frowned and looked at the two of them: "No, what is this? Why can't I understand?"
"Yes, dad, why did you want to go together?" Hou Su'e followed up and asked, and the others also looked confused and didn't know why.
"Today in the summer, Mr. Marquis and we were drinking and chatting at the Admiral's place. While we were chatting, Meng Xiaoxing called..." Wang Yan talked about what happened at that time and Cheng Jianjun's jealousy towards him, and said with a smile: "The situation at that time was basically the same as now. One real thing and one fake thing were brought over. I guess the purpose was to cover up the source of the fake and make people not think about him. It was just a fake that was thought to be bad luck, not He took it out on purpose. Furthermore, I have an impression of the blue and white plum vase at that time. The technique is similar to the current jar. I estimate that it was probably made by one person."
"I understand, dad, what you mean is that Cheng Jianjun deliberately transferred the goods to Li Yuejin through a middleman, and deliberately found his uncle to cheat money. He has no ability to retaliate against you, so he I'm seeking revenge from my uncle." After listening for a long time, Wang Bin answered: "But that's what you say, and we don't have any evidence in our hands. We can't bully others to cause trouble for Cheng Jianjun, right? Then you will lose face. .”
"Boy, you still have to practice." Baolan Hou smiled and patted Wang Bin on the shoulder: "Do you think there is a hawk that scatters rabbits when it sees it?"
At this time, Liu Jinyou still didn't quite believe it: "Can't you? I think this is just a coincidence. How can there be so many truths?"
Wang Yan shook his head and smiled: "Wouldn't you know if there are so many Taoisms?"
Su Meng raised her eyebrows: "Are you saying that Han Chunming's brother-in-law still has to find my uncle?"
"That's for sure. How happy is he to pay for it? It has something to do with me. If Cheng Jianjun is really behind it, he won't let it go. Didn't he bring something from the Qing Dynasty this time? I guess, if If you sell fake products once, they must be from the Ming Dynasty, and they should be blue and white porcelain jars and bottles."
"That would cost several million." Hou Su'e asked, "What will we do then?"
Wang Yan smiled and said: "As the saying goes, if you don't let go of your children, you can't trap the wolf. In the meantime, Li Yuejin will definitely have to go there a few times with things. Eighty percent of this is true, just to cultivate trust and make you relax your vigilance. As long as Just pay attention to the blue and white porcelain. Based on the last review, the faker should be good at blue and white porcelain. When the time comes, call Mr. Hou and ask him to see if it is true or false. If it is true, then uncle will keep it. If it is false Yes, then call the police directly.”
At this time, Mother Su who was silent said hesitantly: "Wang Yan, isn't this bad? Then Li Yuejin is Chunming's brother-in-law. If he is really arrested, Chunming's face will not look good. And Cheng Jianjun , if he enters the palace for the third time, then his parents won’t be able to justify it, right?”
Father Su waved his hand: "What you said is wrong. Why does the older you get, the lower your consciousness. This is a matter of principle. If you break the law and discipline, you should be punished accordingly."
"My dad is right. Think about it, it's only been more than two years since Cheng Jianjun last came out, right? He was buying a large house, a car, and opening a shop. Where did the money come from? If it is really what Wang Yan said, then it was all cheated. In the past two years, he may not have deceived many people into bankruptcy. This means that my uncle is rich. If ordinary people, how can he defraud half a million? As I said before, the blue and white plum vase can deceive people, their families have been ruined, and they have committed too many crimes."
Su Meng said with indignation and disdain for Cheng Jianjun in her words. This was the conflict back in 1975. Cheng Jianjun was always playing tricks on her, and he always called Wang Yan a hooligan, intending to ruin her relationship with Wang Yan. Since then, she had always disliked Cheng Jianjun. If you do bad things, you should go to the palace three times or die in prison, so that you can come out and cause harm to others.
Wang Yan nodded and agreed with Su Meng's words. He said, "Don't worry about Li Yuejin. He is just a man with no brains. He only sees money and sees no risks. Cheng Jianjun has been in prison for more than ten years." , will definitely not hand the things directly to Li Yuejin. Although he actually participated in the scam, he subjectively does not know. It will only take a year or two to die, and he will be fined some money. If there is a good lawyer to help defend, It's not impossible to impose administrative penalties, it's not a big problem."
Liu Jinyou slapped his hand on the table: "Okay, that's it. Anyone who dares to deceive me will have to be sent in."
"That's right. When the time comes, you call me and I'll go give you a hug. Don't just have blue and white porcelain. What if he tries to trick you in the meantime? Then if Li Yuejin comes to you with something, just call me. Telephone."
"Then you drink less, I'm afraid you might misjudge me."
Baolanhou let out a laugh: "Do you think I drink all day long? I can tell the authenticity of these objects with my eyes closed, but you are still far behind."
Liu Jinyou sighed and asked Wang Bin to put away the ink shrimp picture. Then he humbly walked to Xiaozhang Gangzi, holding the blue and white jar and asked carefully what was wrong.
After reading this article, Wang Yan turned around and went to the kitchen to start working again. There were twelve people, four soldiers, Wang Yan and Wang Bin, father and son. The six of them were all big-bellied men who could eat. There were many kinds of food and the amount of food. Also be big.
After a lot of work, various dishes such as cooked food, cold cuts, hot stir-fries, etc. were served one after another. Soon enough, meals for many people were ready, and the group started eating, drinking and chatting.
Although the capital city had banned the setting off of fireworks as early as 1993, there are always people who like challenges, especially now that they don't have such strong eyesight and cannot take all aspects into consideration, so there are two kicks and explosions in the sky from time to time. Wait until tomorrow, and news will come out that someone was detained for setting off firecrackers without permission. During the Chinese New Year, some schadenfreude jokes were added.
During the Chinese New Year, people will fill the table with delicacies that they can buy, can cook, like to eat, and are not willing to part with on weekdays. The family, which usually does not get together, will sit together at the table and enjoy the meal. We ate delicious food and drank wine while talking about the harvest of the past year.
Children are the happiest at this time, because they will have new clothes, which is what they should be. Who doesn't like new clothes? They will also have New Year's money given by their elders. Although most of them are tricked by their parents, there will always be some left. When school starts, everyone wears new clothes, spends New Year's money, and plays together happily.
But it's also true. There are always many children who don't have new clothes or a lot of New Year's money during the Chinese New Year. They feel embarrassed every time school starts in spring. I learned very early that I am different from others. I learned very early to hide myself and lie about not liking new clothes, or talking about being frugal, and it’s not like I can’t wear old clothes. It was also through this that they learned to change the subject, brushing off the new clothes, and even brushing off their meager few yuan or tens, compared with others' hundreds of New Year's money, and turned to interesting things about the holidays.
Children don't know how to compare, but most people have it, but he doesn't, so he feels the suffocation of fate holding his throat, which hurts the fragile self-esteem of the little child.
After all, who doesn’t like new ones, and who doesn’t want more New Year’s money...
In addition to these, the children are also happy that they can eat all kinds of gifts sent by various relatives who come to visit. In addition to the neighbors, friends who were familiar with each other in the past but have gone to other places come back and everyone laughs and plays together. This is their happiness, and it should also be the happiness of those children ten years ago.
Because the means of production have been abundant since then, most families have no shortage of good food and drink on weekdays. How can we find happiness during the New Year?
After all, what we used to celebrate during the Chinese New Year was 'poor'. Because I am poor, I am happy in those few days when I am not poor.
Compared with the poverty that people are clamoring about now, it is always two different things. After all, no matter what you say now, there is always enough food and drink, and most people can eat meat. It’s just that my desires are bigger now. I want to marry a wife, have children, drive a luxury car, and live in a big house. Looking at my old parents and my salary of several thousand yuan, how can I not be poor...
By this time, of course, the people in this room had long since escaped from poverty, and even from the masses. We often see each other on weekdays, and everything that needs to be said has already been said, so no one is particularly happy, and the Chinese New Year is no different from everyday life. At the dinner table, in addition to talking about business, Liu Jinyou, who was still not relieved, talked about appraising antiques.
Even Wang Bin has begun to say that the Chinese New Year is boring...
Cheng Jianjun was very happy, very happy, extremely happy after making half a million. Because this amount of money can be counted on Wang Yan's head, how can he be unhappy after making Wang Yan's money.
But I was happy for a few days. After the New Year, I went to see my son and gave him 500,000 yuan to buy a car but was rejected. I left the capital with sadness and disappointment, and ran to the south again, rolling up my sleeves and working hard. After all, it’s only half a million. Where is this? He wants to earn five million, fifty million, or even hundreds of millions!
Only in this way, by spending Wang Yan's money and raising his old man comfortably, could he let go of the bad breath in his heart. That's not all out yet. Of course, he also knows that it's impossible to think of that, otherwise there's no way he would just want to make money.
His kiln was not located in the suburbs of the capital as in the original play, because he had seen markets all over the country, so how could he just stay in the capital. And in comparison, his current skills are three points better than those in the original show. Porcelain firing also requires strict climatic conditions and a suitable dry-to-wet ratio. Obviously, the south, where various types of porcelain have been fired for thousands of years, is the best place.
What he wants to do this time is something from the Ming Dynasty. In fact, it has been done before, but not much, and it was not easy to sell. Now that he is better, with Liu Jinyou as his boss, he can feel at ease and feel more comfortable.
He is not afraid that Liu Jinyou will find out that it is fake. After all, a fake is a fake and there will always be a day when the secret is revealed. But there are rules in this industry, and you have to recognize them at a glance. With Liu Jinyou's status and wealth, not to mention five hundred thousand, even five million or fifty million, he would have to break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach. Who doesn't have such good eyesight?
Even if Liu Jinyou couldn't swallow it and wanted to settle old scores, he could only find Li Yuejin's head and claim his death by going to his subordinates and offline. As soon as there is a change, they will immediately flee thousands of miles away. Who can do anything to them?
And he was confident in his craftsmanship. In order to sell to Liu Jinyou, he had made a few pieces and sold them to experts. Until now, he had not heard of anyone discovering them, so it would be safer.
It was the same this time. He got several pieces of blue and white porcelain from the Jiajing and Wanli periods, all with various bottles. No matter how big it is, he doesn't dare to do it. The reason is simple: big things are too rare. Large items from the Ming Dynasty were very rare to be preserved in perfect condition until the Qing Dynasty. Later, they went through wars. Porcelain is not that strong and will break if touched. The quantity is small, so the price is naturally high. Although he is greedy, he does not need to take risks when it comes to things from the Ming Dynasty. The sixteen emperors from Hongwu to Chongzhen have more than enough for him.
At the same time, he did not escape Wang Yan's prediction and collected some calligraphy and paintings, furniture, jade and other small pieces of porcelain, basically earning a cost price of 10,000 to 20,000 yuan, and asked Li Yuejin to send them to Liu Jinyou. This is a normal operation. Maintaining trust is as important as gaining trust. Otherwise, how could he earn five million or fifty million?
Just like that, half a year passed in the blink of an eye, and it was July of 2001. In an ancient residential house in Jingdezhen with pink walls and black tiles, Cheng Jianjun looked at a blue and white spring vase shining brightly on the table...
To be on the safe side, he had to go through more troubles this time than the last time. First, he actually traded two hands in the south, and then the third hand was bought by a person from the capital who came here. He went to the capital again, and then bought the third hand. After changing hands, it was sent to someone who had interacted with Li Yuejin before, and finally it ended up in Li Yuejin’s hands.
By this time, it was already August. Among these four transactions, only the first person knew that the goods came from Cheng Jianjun. And there was also a stranger in the middle who was completely looking for it, and later found someone who wanted to buy it. That is to say, this person is not the target customer, otherwise this unlucky guy would have gone bankrupt. However, he did not let this person go. He was planning to study this unlucky guy right now. It is rare to be able to spend millions of dollars, especially for such a fool who is easy to fall into. God will give him money. , there is no reason not to lie.
At this time, Cheng Jianjun, who had just returned to the capital, showed a proud smile, as if he had already won...
At the same time, Li Yuejin came out of the door of a testing institution. He carefully held the box with both hands and the test results that had just come out under his arms. He also couldn't hide his big teeth and open mouth. You can even see the back molars, but you can't see them at all. You can imagine his excitement and happiness...
