God-level Golden Hand

Chapter 1098 Hu Kaiwen

Yang Shouyun's ability to resist blows is quite strong. After two wry smiles, he turned around and took out two more scrolls from the cabinet, one horizontal scroll and one vertical scroll, both of which were not small in size. The vertical scroll was a painting on silk, and the horizontal scroll was a painting on paper. What's more, the paintings are all landscapes, and they are all inscribed by Dong Qichang, and all the paintings are "Dong Xuanzai's seal script and Zhu Wenyin".

Seeing these two paintings, Xu Jingxing was even more speechless, because the two paintings were also fakes, and the pattern was carved out of the same mold as the previous painting. They are all very realistic, obviously written by the same person or group of people.

The matter has become very clear, the old comrade Yang Shouyun suffered such a boring loss is not ordinary, and it is a series of losses.

No need for him to say anything this time, Comrade Lao Yang shook his head with a pale face after studying for a few minutes, "It's really shameful, I was cheated by the same group of people with the same method and the same props several times in a row. This time, I have lived in vain for so many years..."

Looking at Yang Shouyun's depressed and annoyed expression, Xu Jingxing was full of sympathy and at the same time couldn't help but want to laugh, after all, the old man used to look like a cowhide before, but he didn't expect to turn into a drowned chicken in the blink of an eye.

But laughing is definitely not allowed to laugh, not only can’t laugh, but also comfort: “Don’t be too sad, you are professional in calligraphy, but others are professional in deceiving people, you really need to be determined.” I lied to you, no matter how professional you are, you will be fooled. You are not the only one who is deceived by high IQ and professionals these days, just be more careful in the future."

"In the future? There is no future," Yang Shouyun shook his head, grabbed three paintings and a fan, tore them up, crumpled them into a ball, and threw them into the trash can. I don’t want to touch this thing anymore, there are too many pits and the water is too deep, I really regret not listening to Yujie’s father’s advice..."

Xu Jingxing was really a little shocked by Yang Shouyun's actions. You must know that not everyone can accept the reality of being cheated so calmly.

Most people in this world, after being cheated, find it difficult to accept the reality immediately. Take the players who bought fakes in antique shops as an example. If Xu Jingxing told them that the objects in their hands were fakes , Their first reaction would only be to question Xu Jingxing's appraisal conclusion, and those who are educated will leave with the objects, while those who are not educated will directly complain, or even yell at them.

There are really too many such examples, not to mention those that people can't see in private, there are many, many of them just seen on TV programs. After being exposed by experts, those victims not only refused to accept the reality, but fought hard. Fighting desperately with experts, questioning the expert's appraisal results, desperately giving examples to say how good one's own things are, how and how is true, and so on.

why?It’s not reconciled, unwilling to accept the fact of being cheated, because they know very well that most of the reasons why they were cheated were voluntary cheating, and the fakes are there, and they bought them willingly. However, people like Yang Shouyun who have been tricked by others are only a small part of them.If they admit the fact that what they paid a lot of money to buy is a fake, it is tantamount to admitting that their eyesight and IQ are not good.

To give another example, those who have been tricked into engaging in pyramid schemes, don’t they know that pyramid schemes are not good?Don't they know that MLM can't make money?Of course not. In fact, the vast majority of pyramid schemers know that what they do is not a good thing. The reason why they still do it is nothing more than calling for money. Get your money back from someone else.

Therefore, it is not easy for Yang Shouyun to accept the reality of being deceived so calmly and the reality of being defeated in the professional field.

Put yourself in the situation and think about it, how many people would decisively and simply tear up the fake paintings bought for a few million?It is human nature not to tear up even a fake banknote.

Even Xu Jingxing probably couldn't be so decisive.

Of course, the current Xu Jingxing would not suffer such a big loss.

After tearing up those ancient calligraphy and paintings, Yang Shouyun really stopped talking about antiques and non-antiques, only talked about calligraphy, and finally said with a wry smile: "At first I wanted to give you one of my treasures, but in the end, ah, it's shameful, so Well, I still have a few pieces of old ink here, I will give you two pieces, I don’t know if those inks are real old inks, but they must be good inks.”

Calligraphers, who deal with brushes and inks every day, naturally know what kind of ink is good ink. Yang Shouyun said that it is good ink, even if the ink is not old ink, the quality must be very high.

It is really profitable to be able to exchange a piece of calligraphy written by myself for two good inks.

Of course, it is only a small profit, because ink ingots are consumables, and their value can only be reflected when they are used. It is a great waste and ignorance to store them at home. Therefore, the market price of ink ingots has never been higher. If it is considered high, even the real old ink is not worth much, not as valuable as old rice paper, unless the commemorative ink ingots can be sold at sky-high prices, such as those top ink ingots made by Emperor Qianlong.

But the kind of old ink ingots with more commemorative significance are very rare, and generally they don't fall into Yang Shouyun's hands.

Therefore, it is estimated that the ink ingots Yang Shouyun mentioned should be ordinary old ink.

Sure enough, the ink ingots that Yang Shouyun took out from the box were six pieces of old Hui ink, made of soot, with some landscapes carved on the front, some gold-filled inscribed regular script characters, and hand-carved seal seals. Looking at the patterns and characters, it should be It is some scenery of Huizhou. The most important thing is that the person who signed the side payment is Hu Kaiwen.

The inscription is "Hu Kaiwen made" four painted blue inscriptions, as well as "Tongzhi Nine Years Xin'an" and "Dingyan" inscriptions filled with gold.

If ordinary people see such inscriptions, they may not pay much attention to them, but for calligraphers who like ink ingots or often use ink ingots, this name is like a thunderous existence, saying that he is known to everyone in the calligraphy circle. It is not too much to know, because this man is a real master of ink making. At that time, many calligraphers were proud to own an ink ingot made by Hu Kaiwen, and it is even more so now.

As mentioned earlier, the market price of ink ingots is not high. The top old ink in the Qing Dynasty costs only a thousand yuan a piece, and even at an auction, it is worth 1 yuan.

But it is different with Hu Kaiwen's inscription. With such an inscription, the value of a piece of old ink can be doubled, at least ten times.That is to say, the old ink made by Hu Kaiwen is ten times more expensive than the ordinary old ink. In a special domestic literary and play auction in 14, two pieces of character ink made by Hu Kaiwen were sold for nearly 80 million high prices.

The transaction price of 80 yuan may be only a low-to-medium level in other projects, but in Gumo, it is an out-and-out sky-high price.

Xu Jingxing is also a person who uses brushes and ink, so naturally he doesn't know Hu Kaiwen. He even once wanted to buy two pieces of Hu Kaiwen's ink ingots to try their hand. After all, people in the calligraphy circle highly admire Hu Kaiwen's ink ingots. He is not curious.It’s just that Hu Kaiwen was a character 200 years ago after all, and ink ingots are consumables. No matter how much Hu Kaiwen left behind, there are not many left, so he has not been able to fulfill his wish. For this reason, he even entrusted that little girl Ye Qing to help keep an eye on it. , but there is no news so far, it can be seen that Hu Kaiwen's legacy is really running out.

But now it’s all right, there’s nowhere to find it after breaking through the iron shoes, and it’s easy to get it. I came across a whole set of ink ingots made by Hu Kaiwen himself, and they are still in very good condition.

More importantly, the owner of this ink wants to give him these ink whites.

Well, the so-called exchange, in his opinion, is no different from giving away for free. The calligraphy he gave away is not worth much, and he can write a lot of it at any time if he wants, but Hu Kaiwen's ink is not available. A lot of good things.

Therefore, he always felt a little bit of taking advantage of others, and even secretly wondered if he only wanted one or two yuan?
Yang Shouyun at the side didn't know what he was thinking. Seeing him staring at the ink ingot without speaking, he immediately became uneasy, "Could it be a fake again?"

Xu Jingxing waved his hands quickly when he heard the words: "No, no, this is the real thing, not to mention anything else, the words engraved on it give people a different feeling, although these words are not very clever from a technical point of view, but they are It has that kind of quaint feeling, and it has a sense of the times in a cliché, hehehe."

Only then did Yang Shouyun nodded in satisfaction, and said with a smile: "That's not a cliché, the sense of the times is indeed an illusory existence in the eyes of laymen, but it is different for us, and we can feel it when we reach a certain level. "

"That's right. It's really easy to communicate with people in the industry. No matter how mysterious the words are, everyone can understand what kind of feeling it is. If you talk to outsiders about the sense of the times and artistic conception, they will definitely be called fools."

"Hahaha, that's why I don't want to go on TV. It's too much effort to communicate with those laymen. To put it bluntly, it's just playing the piano against the cow."

"There is no way. What we do is not popular in the first place. Naturally, we can't ask too much of ordinary people. If everyone is an expert, we won't be able to keep our jobs."

"It's also the same reason, so, how do you say that?"

"It was the worst of times and the best of times."

"Yes, that's what you said, it makes sense..."

The communication between the old and the young is very pleasant. In a word, it is to the appetite. There is no need to mention the professional exchanges. In the non-professional aspects, the thinking, three views and levels of both parties are also on the same level. You need to communicate more Harmony is as harmonious as it is, and for a while there is a feeling of sympathy for each other. To put it bluntly, the two of them have the potential to become friends.

Speaking of the happy place, the two laughed like no one else was there, which made the other three people beside them feel quite helpless.
