The Black Card

People who are old enough will always have many friends.

If you are old enough, you will live long enough. Generally speaking, you will know more people than young people.

When you were young, you were harmless and guessing. How happy and how to get along with each other, every peer is a friend.

But as we get older, we have fewer and fewer friends. Everyone is busy with work, life, calculations, preparations, or ... not taking care. So the friends around them drifted away. Everyone just kept polite interactions. Being with friends is often not as good as the alcoholic friends who meet in a casual izakaya.

But the age will be getting older, until one day, there is less utilitarianism, less ambition, less calculations and precautions, and only the emotion and aftertaste of time, those friends who have not had time to tear their faces in the long years They became true friends again.

Miyamoto Genichi is like this.

Ten years ago, he often felt lonely. For him, the biggest relaxation is after work, before dinner, find a small izakaya near Shinsaibashi, lower his head into the door and say sorry to disturb, and then go to Forty-five sashimi, a glass of shochu, add some ice cubes, and chat with other drinkers at will. Sometimes sashimi is replaced with a small dish of grilled meat.

But in his sixties, he became solitary, because he no longer had the spirit of endeavor when he was young.

When they found out that the old friends were the same, they started to move around again and again.

When Shi Lei exchanged paintings with him that day, the people he invited to help him identify were his friends.

Hyunichi Miyamoto wants to play tricks to conceal many people to ensure that his reputation will not fall at the last minute. He must get the support of those people. Because only they know the truth.

After thinking for a long time, Genichi Miyamoto felt more and more that this was a hurdle he couldn't overcome, and he had to make calls to the mobile phones of those people.

When the news was already overwhelming, the old friends of Miyamoto Genichi were also embarrassed at home because they knew very well how Miyamoto Genichi had surrendered the painting's work, and they also I'm afraid it will implicate them. They have retired, and they are now raising their children. They do not want to bear a bad reputation for betraying national treasures before they die.

When they received a call from Miyamoto Genichi, they all knew what was going on. Miyamoto Genichi said that there was something to discuss with them. They rushed to the small apartment near Shinsaibashi without hesitation.

The apartment is small, only 11 tsubos, and the unit of measurement in Japan still retains the ancient style.

Yiping refers to the size of two standard tatami mats, or 3.3 square meters.

Eleven pings is more than 30 square meters. Even if it is an in-suite area, this apartment looks extraordinarily small and narrow, not even the size of a gazebo in the big mansion of Miyamoto Genichi.

The old friend who has been watching for many years can only live in such a small house, and the old people who come here can't help but have some sympathy for the disease.

Of course, the topic is tightly centered on the five-star, twenty-eight places, and Miyamoto sighed with a sigh of his head: "Who knows that it turned out to be a bland painting in the holy days? Is this the one I saw? The Japanese are all gone. "

Everyone agreed at this moment.

"Fortunately, I got the true story of Yan Liben, but this is the statue of Wang Youjun." Xuanyi Miyamoto emphasized his tone, emphasizing how precious his income was.

An old man whispered, "But it's a painting of Saint."

Miyamoto Xu looked at the old man whose name was Watanabe, and said solemnly, "Exactly, it is a study of painting holy."

Everyone was puzzled, and Miyamoto Genki said, "No one has ever seen the full version of the five-star, twenty-eight-star real figure. Everyone sees it as my previous scroll. For a long time, Everyone in the world regards that work as Liang Lingjun's work, so it is considered that there is a scroll, but it has been lost. But now it has been proven that it is a painting about 20 years old, it is very successful if there is a scroll. Question. What if it ’s just the practice of painting a pen to practice pen? He is just experiencing sparseness, feeling Zhang Family, feels boring at halfway, and hastily ends, and it is a work that is far from reaching its mature stage. What is it? "

Everyone looked at each other, still wondering what Miyamoto Genichi meant.

The old Watanabe old man insisted on whispering, "But after all, it is a handed-down work of painting holy."

"Is Yan Liben so much worse than Wu Daozi? Du Fu is a poetic sage, but who can say that Xiao Du is not as good as him? Old Du is more solemn, but Xiao Du is more romantic. Yan Liben's artistic value, why even Wu Daozi's Can't compare the work? "

Everyone looked at each other again, and Watanabe seemed to understand Miyamoto's intentions. He said: "Miyamoto, what do you think, just say it. We are all close friends for many years, and we definitely stand by you Side. "

Xuan Miyamoto looked around and added shochu to everyone's glass, and said, "Hua Xia people can prove the value of Wu Daozi with an auction. Why can't we follow him and use an auction? Will prove the value of Yan Liben? This is the statue of Wang Youjun! "

Here are the fox monsters who have cultivated for thousands of years. To this extent, a bunch of old ghosts naturally understand.

Miyamoto Xuan raised a wine glass at one end and held up his hands with respect, saying respectfully: "We are all dying woods, and the reputation of our lives cannot be ruined here. I learned that someone intentionally sold Yan Liben's true statue of Wang Youjun, but he has two sleeves in his life With little savings, I had no choice but to painfully sell the five-star and twenty-eight star true figure that was identified as Liang Lingjun at that time. In exchange for capital, it was only a true trace. A piece of Wu Daozi's work can be photographed to 163 million, the true trace of Yan Liben Why can't it reach 180 million? "

After a pause, Miyamoto said again and again: "I respect you for this glass of wine, and I would like to ask for your help."

Everyone looked at each other and raised their wine glasses, a bunch of old men, and the grandeur of drinking was dry.

Sotheby's was rejected. That would be too costly. Sotheby's will definitely insist on the commission ratio. Since it is a show, why should it pay so much?

An old man named Tanaka stated that ~ www.readwn.com ~ he knows that there is a small auction house in South Korea, and he insists on the auction of art for many years, and the commission is not high. If Yan Liben's authenticity can be traded with them, they may agree without commission.

Tanaka immediately contacted the auction house, and agreed there that the seller could pay no commission, and the seller only needed to pay a commission of 100,000 US dollars.

Genichi Miyamoto made a request, and the list of participants in the auction was provided by the seller.

The two sides hit it off. On the same day, Miyamoto made every effort to send the statue of Wang Youjun to South Korea and gave it to the auction house.

That night, the auction was held among a group of old men. Eventually, Miyamoto Genichi bought the painting sold and bought back for $ 180 million and paid a commission of $ 100,000.

Watanabe and Tanaka acted and publicized the auction, proclaiming that Miyamoto Genichi was willing to resell the five-star and twenty-eight true maps for a real authenticity, and at that time, he had no way of knowing the painting. Painting is what painting saints do.

But no matter what, the Osaka Museum of Art returned with a new national treasure-level ancient Chinese painting. Yan Liben, who has been lost for a long time, has seen the statue of Wang Youjun again.
