Chapter 255 Fake Paintings
"Shut up, all the works in the exhibition hall have been jointly appraised by many experts, so don't slander them with your mouth." Feng Fangying stopped Xu Qiang.
"Do you know what an expert is? An expert is someone who has a certain ability in a certain aspect. It must be much better than ordinary people, but it doesn't mean that an expert can't make mistakes!" Xu Qiang shook his head.
What if you are an expert?
Xu Qiang only believed in what he saw, and what he saw was problematic.
"That's right, there are a lot of experts in society now, and some cats and dogs dare to call themselves experts. Who knows what experts you hired?"
"Xu Qiang, I support you."
"Come on, expose their deception!"
Those who watched the excitement were the least afraid of big troubles, and many of them were ordinary people, not members of the Antiques Association. They didn't shy away from Feng Fangying at all, and cheered Xu Qiang unscrupulously!
Although Feng Fangying was a little angry, she was not worried at all.
Because the works in this exhibition hall have been screened by the Antique Association layer by layer, and finally jointly appraised by many experts, he believes that there will be absolutely no problems.
"Xu Qiang, I solemnly warn you now, don't damage the reputation of the association. I ask you to apologize immediately, otherwise the association will initiate legal procedures and pursue your legal responsibility!" Feng Fangying said seriously.
"I'm telling the truth, even if you pursue it, it will be futile."
"I think you are full of lies. In the name of the Antique Association, I assure you that there will be no problem with any antique in this exhibition hall!"
"What if there is a problem?" Seeing Feng Fangying's swearing promise, Xu Qiang smiled. He didn't expect Feng Fangying to cooperate with him so much.
The stronger the guarantee, the better the effect of his counterattack.
Guarantee in the name of the Antique Association is strong enough.
"What do you want?"
"Can you send me off?"
"Give it to you?"
"Why, don't you dare?"
"Of course I dare, but the antiques belong to the association. Even if I promise to give them to you, it's useless, because I don't have this authority at all!" Feng Fangying, who was still full of confidence, felt palpitations for no reason.
He suddenly felt guilty, what if something went wrong?
"You can ask someone with authority."
"I don't have time to mess around with you!"
"He didn't dare to ask for instructions. He was obviously guilty. Everyone said that?" Seeing that Feng Fangying actually wanted to back down, Xu Qiang certainly couldn't let him do what he wanted.
He turned to face the public, because of his commotion, dozens of onlookers had already gathered around, which made the security guards in charge of maintaining order nervous.
After all, the exhibits in the exhibition hall are very precious. Even if the display cabinets with strong protection capabilities are used, if there is a problem, it will be a huge loss.
Emergency additional security guards were deployed to guide the scene and maintain order.
Hearing Xu Qiang's words, the people who had gathered to watch started booing.
Of course, few of them were the ones who sincerely supported them. They just wanted to watch the fun and make matters worse, and they didn't allow Feng Fangying to back down.
No matter how Feng Fangying explained it was useless, she was forced to make a phone call.
Soon, Feng Fangying finished the phone call!
"I got the temporary authorization from the president. If you can find out the problem with Tang Bohu's portrait of a lady and have solid evidence, the Antique Association can give you the picture of a lady!" Feng Fangying looked at Xu Qiang and said.
"No problem!" Xu Qiang clapped his hands, smiled, and turned his head to face the crowd.
"Before presenting the evidence, I have a question for you. In the history of Chinese calligraphy and painting, who is the most famous forger of calligraphy and painting? I can draw a range for you, from the Qing Dynasty to the present." Xu Qiang looked at it with a smile with everyone.
Zhang Daqian!
Someone will answer right away, because the question is not very difficult.
"That's right, Zhang Daqian has an excellent counterfeiting ability, and he is even called Sun Wukong because of it. He is the most diligent Chinese painter and has copied many ancient paintings. His counterfeiting once caused a bloodbath in the collection circle!" Xu Qiang said. Everyone explain.
Zhang Daqian's fraud in calligraphy and painting can be said to have reached its peak. Many masters of antiques have been deceived and mistaken for real antiques.
"You don't mean that this is Zhang Daqian's painting too?" Someone suddenly thought of it.
Xu Qiang's mention of Zhang Daqian may have something to do with the painting of ladies.
Hearing the name Zhang Daqian, Feng Fangying just looked at it.
He is very clear about who Zhang Daqian is, and he is also very clear about how high Zhang Daqian's counterfeiting ability is. If it is really Zhang Daqian who faked it...he broke into a cold sweat when he talked about it.
"Congratulations, you guessed it right, this picture of a lady who looks like Tang Bohu was made by Zhang Daqian!" Xu Qiang nodded.
When he saw this painting just now, he judged the age of the ancient painting from his aura, and suddenly found that it did not match the age of Tang Bohu's life.
The age does not match, it must be a fake.
But the quality of this pair of fakes was so high that even Feng Fangying thought it was genuine, and Xu Qiang immediately realized that it was definitely not an ordinary fake.
So he began to rack his brains to think, who painted it?
I figured it out, and began to observe carefully again.
Sure enough, Zhang Daqian's works stand out against Feng Fangying.
"It's useless to just say it, you show the evidence!" Feng Fangying snorted coldly.
He felt a little uneasy.
If it is a general forgery, of course it cannot be hidden from the experts.
But Zhang Daqian is different. His imitation painting technique is really superb. There are too many people who have been fooled since ancient times, and many of them are masters in antiques.
If Zhang Daqian imitated the painting, there might be problems.
"Of course I have evidence, but it's not convenient to see it in the display box, and I can't see it clearly. Please take out the painting so that everyone can see it clearly!"
"No, Tang Bohu's paintings are too precious, take them out of the exhibition box, who will be responsible in case something happens?" Feng Fangying refused without thinking.
Zhengchou couldn't find an excuse, so Xu Qiang delivered it to the door himself.
He had already made up his mind, and he would never open the box.
As long as it is not opened, even if it is really Zhang Daqian's imitation work, Xu Qiang will not be able to produce evidence, and the Antique Association will not be ashamed.
And his reasons are very legitimate, even if others say that he was afraid or did it on purpose, he can still use safety reasons to prevaricate.
"I'm in charge. I'll give Xu Qiang a guarantee. If something goes wrong after opening the box, I'll be responsible for the compensation!" A person squeezed out from the crowd.
Fu Guotao!
"Many people must have known it. I have an ancient painting of Tang Bohu in my collection. Of course, because of the content of the painting, it is not suitable for public exhibition, but its value must not be denied. If you open the box, There is something wrong with this painting, I am willing to give my compensation to the Antiques Association, plus 1000 million in compensation!" Fu Guotao said solemnly.
"You can't!" Feng Fangying frowned, they thought someone would vouch for Xu Qiang.
What if something goes wrong when you take it out?
Although the possibility was slim, he was very worried.
So Fu Guotao stood up to guarantee, and he refused without hesitation.
Although Fu Guotao has a certain influence, he is now representing the Antiques Association. Even if he refuses Fu Guotao, Fu Guotao can't do anything to him.
"I'm here to guarantee Xu Qiang, if something goes wrong, I will take full responsibility!" An old voice came, and a man in his 30s was seen, facing the crowd with his mobile phone screen.
On the screen was an old man who spoke to this kind of person with a smile.
"Grandpa Sun, you, why do you need to go into this muddy water..." Seeing the old man on the phone, Feng Fangying's expression turned ugly.
Of course he knew Mr. Sun, and he also knew that Mr. Sun's influence was far greater than that of Fu Guotao, not even inferior to their Antiques Association.
He could refuse Fu Guotao, but he didn't dare to refuse Mr. Sun.
"I have been friends with Xu Qiang in the past years. I believe in his character and ability, so I guarantee him. Please think carefully!" After the old man Sun finished speaking, he ended the call.
He didn't wait for the answer, because he knew how Feng Fangying would choose.
Feng Fangying was silent, and everyone was waiting for Feng Fangying's answer.
"Open the box for him!" Feng Fangying finally waved his hand.
He wanted to refuse very much, but he really didn't have the courage to refuse Mr. Sun. Even though he knew that something might go wrong, he still had to make a decision and allow the picture of the lady to be taken out of the box.
The security guard in charge of keeping the keys immediately brought two other security guards over after receiving Feng Fangying's order, and together they opened the box and took out the lady's picture.
"Xu Qiang!" Feng Fangying looked at Xu Qiang with a complicated expression.
He never expected that Xu Qiang was actually related to Mr. Sun, and he seemed to be so respected by Mr. Sun that Mr. Su called Xu Qiang to support him.
If he had known that Xu Qiang had something to do with the dead old man, when someone suggested blacklisting Xu Qiang, he would not have chosen to support it.
It's good now, his back road has been sealed.
According to Feng Fangying's order, the security guard gave Xu Qiang the lady's figure brother.
"I have to admire Mr. Zhang Daqian. His attainments in calligraphy and painting are too high. The ancient paintings he imitated are simply fake, and there is no flaw at all!" Xu Qiang showed the pictures of ladies to everyone, so that they could have a close look.
He is not afraid of someone destroying it, because he is now the first order of extraordinary.
To put it simply, he can be regarded as a superman. Even if someone deliberately destroys it, Xu Qiang is capable enough to protect the ancient painting.
"Stop talking nonsense, where is the evidence?" Ma Lijin said angrily.
He didn't believe that Xu Qiang had any evidence, and thought that Xu Qiang was talking a lot of nonsense, just delaying time, thinking about how to get away with it.
"Okay, since everyone wants to see the evidence, I won't talk nonsense. Please look at the lower right corner of the calligraphy and painting. There is a clump of grass. Look at this part of the grass..." Xu Qiang pointed to the corner of the painting with his finger .
Under the magnification of the high-magnification magnifying glass, everyone exclaimed.
"There are actually two traditional small characters, and there are actually two characters of big thousand..."
After recognizing the two traditional characters, a series of exclamations sounded, because someone remembered that these two characters had appeared in other imitation works of Zhang Daqian.
Xu Qiang proved that there was something wrong with the painting, which caused a commotion among the crowd.
Some of them envied Xu Qiang and envied Xu Qiang for getting a good painting.
Although there are problems with the painting, it does not mean that the value is lowered, because the person who imitated the painting is Zhang Daqian, who is also a well-known great painter, not to mention the artistic level of this painting is very high.
"Vice President Feng, I have already found the evidence. Everyone has seen it, and you have seen it too. The traditional Chinese word "Daqian" is enough to prove what I said. Now you still think that this painting is fine. Is it?" Of course Xu Qiang will not forget to beat the dog in the water.
Looking at Feng Fangying, who was a little lost, Xu Qiang directly held the painting in front of him, and pointed to the place where the word "Daqian" was found to show him.
