Thousands of miles and a pound of paint

Chapter 13 Counterfeit (1)

As soon as the teacher's wife finished speaking, the elder brother's mobile phone rang, and he raised the mobile phone to signal to the master.

Master Zhang nodded in agreement, and the eldest brother pressed the connect button.

"Hi, I'm Ding Muqing, what? Are you sure?" The always steady elder brother also asked with frowning, as if something serious had happened.

Everyone looked puzzled, so the senior brother had no choice but to play the phone's voice.

A serious and cold female voice came from the other end of the phone: "After our professional appraisal, we can confirm that what we have received is not the work of Professor Zhang Yiqing - "Lacquer Plate Painted with Gold Painting on Lushan Mountain", but a very similar one. The fakes have been returned to the auction company, and I hope your company can cooperate with the investigation."

Counterfeit?As soon as the word came out, everyone's expressions became more dignified. You must know that the word fake is definitely a fatal blow to ordinary artists in the auction, let alone an old scholar with profound qualifications like Professor Zhang. His reputation rubs against the ground.

Ding Muqing's beautiful eyebrows became distorted in just a few minutes, "If it is true as you said, we will definitely cooperate with the investigation and reserve the right to sue."

For such emergencies, Ding Muqing has long thought about it. His own rigor has made him anticipate all possible situations in the process of managing the studio, and he has trained himself accordingly. , which is why Professor Zhang prefers him to manage the studio.

The voice on the phone was still very serious, "Currently, the auction company can't determine which link is causing the problem. We can only cooperate with the investigation together."

It seems that the only thing that can be confirmed at present is that the collection received by the buyer is a fake. What happened specifically still needs to be investigated, but why did this happen?
And before the master's work was put on the auction, only everyone in the studio and the master's wife had seen it, and the master's wife would definitely not, could it be?

No, no, no, Su Li immediately denied his doubts about the seniors. After all, after he decided to go on the shoot, there were detailed introductions and photos of the work, maybe it was taken advantage of by someone with a heart at that time?
It must be, the master is such a famous lacquer art master, that person must think that he should not be discovered in a short time, but he didn't count, and the buyer is also a knowledgeable one.

Generally, people who participate in the auction are either interested in the works, or they buy them with an investment perspective. The former may have some chances to meet those who don’t know how to do it, but the latter is completely impossible. Appraisal, insurance and other processes are carried out on the works, so that the works can realize their own value to the maximum extent.

The elder brother was neither humble nor overbearing, and the expression on his face gradually became calm and indifferent, "Okay, sure, thank you for letting me know in time."

Master Zhang's slightly hoarse voice sounded, a little worried: "Mu Qing, what's the matter? What exactly happened?"

Although the sound was loud, Master Zhang still couldn't believe it. There are not a few works that he has uploaded, and such a thing has never happened before.

The elder brother's voice sounded again: "The "Lushan Mountain Painted Lacquer Plate" put up for auction by the master, the buyer found it to be a fake after receiving it, and has already returned it to the auction company. Please inform us to cooperate with the investigation."

There was an uproar in the private room, everyone stood up and sat down again, apart from the noise of tables and chairs bumping into each other, there were also words of aggression from brothers and sisters.

Master Zhang was silent for a while, and said expressionlessly: "Let's cooperate with the investigation first and see what the auction company says. After all, the things were sent out through their hands."

Life is alive, so many storms and waves have come, can you still be afraid of him being a fake?

Master Zhang is very open to the big and small things in life. Since the things have happened, he should first understand the situation and then solve the problems.

Eldest brother didn't hesitate, grabbed his phone and was about to leave, "Okay master, I'll go to the auction company to find out the details now."

Normally, in this case, the buyer should contact the auction company first, and then the auction company should contact the author himself, but judging from the current situation, the order is already wrong, I am afraid that this matter is not that simple.

The question is why witnessing sealed works become fakes?
Why is it still a genuine product when it is packaged, but it becomes a fake when it reaches the buyer?

"Mu Qing, understanding the situation is one aspect, but before the truth is found out, be careful not to let the media know about it."

What is the other party trying to do?
Who is it for?
It is reasonable to say that if the auction company has internal reasons for the works, it will not be auctioned at the beginning; if it is the buyer's reasons, why should the buyer go through this muddy water?

Fakes appear, so where is the real thing?
"Master, don't worry, I will pay attention."

For a moment, all the possible situations that might happen appeared in Su Li's head, and also in the minds of Master Zhang and Ding Muqing.

"Okay, you go."

Seventh senior brother said angrily, "Let me go with senior brother."

My seventh son would like to see what kind of bastard it is, who dared to use his teacher's work to do such a dirty thing.

Stimulated by Lao Qi, the rest of them were also furious, "Then we will go too."

Su Li was the first to speak, and the others echoed. The bravery of young people is always so passionate.

Looking at the appearance of his apprentices, Master Zhang couldn't help but think of how passionate and righteous he was when he was young, and the same is true for the children now. Young people need some fearless bravery, and it's okay to go along with them to gain knowledge.

Having said that, sooner or later boys will enter the society to work hard on their own, and it is not necessarily a bad thing if they can understand some things earlier.

But Xu Jingjing and Su Li are two little girls, Master Zhang doesn't want them to go, but the cute little girls are like my own wife when she was young, so she should protect them as long as she can.

So Master Zhang waved at the two girls, "It's fine for the boys to go, but for the two girls, don't go. I just have something to ask you."

Things are divided into two ends, and some things should have a result.

Regarding the contract between Su Li and Xu Jingjing, although Master Zhang has not said anything, it does not mean that he has not found out. As for the whole story, he has secretly investigated it for a few days, and he has a rough idea of ​​it.

"Okay master." After finishing speaking, the elder brother left the box in a mighty manner with his several younger brothers.

Mistress saw that there was something wrong with the master's expression, she was afraid that she had something to ask the two girls, so she sent the children out of the house.

Seeing the children getting into the car, the teacher waved her hand and said: "Good children, pay more attention to safety."

In the box, Master Zhang took a sip of tea first, and then motioned the two girls to sit down.
