She amazed the world after the divorce

Gu Xiao drove to Zhengrong Auction House.

I have been busy preparing for the autumn auction recently.

After several rounds of appraisals by the company's appraisers, a batch of collections were collected, and there were no major problems.

Gu Jinyao called Gu Xiao and asked him to find Su Hua for another appraisal, which he would do every year.

If there are fakes in the collection, it will damage the auction house's brand and affect its reputation in the industry.

Reputation is the life of an auction house.

To show his solemnity, Gu Xiao drove to Su Hua's door in person.

Su Hua took Su Xingyan with her to let her gain experience.

Arriving at the auction house, led by Gu Xiao and the department manager, accompanied by the company's treasure appraiser, Su Hua and Su Xingyan began to appraise porcelain, jade, etc.

After identification, everything is fine.

Finally, we came to the room where calligraphy and paintings are collected.

Each calligraphy and painting is installed in a special encrypted cabinet. The room is maintained at constant temperature and humidity, and there is an alarm device.

The staff unlocked the cabinet to facilitate identification.

Su Hua asked Su Xingyan to go through it first.

Su Xingyan took a high-power magnifying glass and examined each calligraphy and painting one by one.

When she identified the fourth painting, she stopped and stood in front of the painting in silence.

This is "Xu Pavilion with Sparse Willows" by Li Wei during the Qing Dynasty.

In 2014, it was sold at Sotheby's in New York City for US$6. After traveling to Kyoto, it was placed in an auction house and put up for auction again.

This landscape painting is exquisitely conceived and captures the essence of the indifferent and free spirit of the Yuan Dynasty painters.The painting depicts a winter day in the south of the Yangtze River. Amidst the cold wind and bleakness, the mountains and rivers are cold, giving off a sense of chill. If you look at it for a long time, you will feel chilled all over your body.

The painting style is in line with Li Wei's painting style, and the pen and ink, paper, seal and mounting are no problem.

But Su Xingyan felt that something was not right.

I took a professional magnifying glass and looked at it carefully several times.

Su Xingyan turned to Su Hua and said, "Mom, this painting is wrong. The painter's mood is a little bit impetuous like that of modern people. Li Wei was 44 years old when he painted this painting. The painter of this painting should be younger than him." , lacks a little bit of stability.”

The group of treasure appraisers all said: "This is impossible! We have used professional quantum non-destructive inspection technology to inspect it, and all of us have authenticated it. It is [-]% authentic!"

The gray-haired old treasure appraiser said to Su Xingyan: "Little girl, you are too young and have seen too few calligraphy and paintings. Don't just talk based on your feelings!"

Others echoed: "Yes, yes, you don't have to believe in our experience, you have to believe in science. Quantum non-destructive testing technology has never made any mistakes!"

Su Xingyan said firmly, "This painting is wrong. The real thing should still be in the hands of a certain collector. Once this painting is auctioned, it will inevitably spread to the ears of that collector, and Zhengrong's reputation will be damaged." Auction house, who will bear the responsibility?"

The group of people were immediately speechless!

No one dares to say "no" again.

If this painting is really a fake, the loss will be doubled, but the reputation of the auction house will be damaged!

Trust is something that, once destroyed, will be difficult to rebuild again.

At that time, what they will face is not just being fired, but they will not be able to survive in this industry.

Su Hua walked to the painting, looked at it carefully for a few minutes, and said: "There is indeed something wrong with this painting. It is a high imitation. The person who imitated the painting is highly skilled, has a strong understanding, and is very capable, otherwise he would not be able to deceive modern people." Instruments and appraisers."

She smiled at Su Xingyan and said, "Xingyan, you can start training now."

Su Xingyan said modestly: "No, I still have a lot to learn. There is a world outside the sky, and there are people outside the world."

Su Hua smiled sweetly. She was born to the same parents. Xingyan was modest and low-key like her, while Yifeng was proud and arrogant like Gu Beixian.

Gu Xiao asked his men to remove the painting.

Next, Su Xingyan identified six more imitations.

The group of treasure appraisers suddenly lost their composure.

If these seven paintings are all fakes, then they are seriously derelict in their duties!

Retain staff for follow-up processing.

Su Hua, Su Xingyan and others followed Gu Xiao into his office.

Sit down and drink tea.

Su Hua asked Gu Xiao: "Have you offended anyone recently? Zhengrong Auction House has been a long-established brand in Kyoto for decades. Under normal circumstances, no one would dare to put fake paintings up for auction so blatantly. Obviously, doing something like this When I came out, I deliberately messed with you."

Gu Xiao thought for a while and replied: "I have offended two people recently, one named Qu Xian and the other named Liang Xiao. Qu Xian is a treasure appraisal professional, and Liang Xiao's family makes mineral water. Qu Xian is more likely, she is I have a lot of connections.”

Su Hua said: "Suppress this in advance and ask people in the company not to make any noise, otherwise it will affect the mentality of old customers and the auction success rate will also be affected. Speed ​​up the time to find other collections to replace it, and redo the auction color pages. "

"Okay, Aunt Suhua."

Su Hua thought for a moment and then said: "If these seven paintings are genuine, according to the recent market prices, their market value can be estimated to be several hundred million. Once these seven paintings are sold by your auction house, it will be a fatal blow to the reputation of your auction house." . The paintings were not made recently. To be able to produce so many fake paintings in a short period of time, the manipulator behind the scenes only needs money and a certain amount of connections."

"I will send someone to investigate carefully."

"Okay, I have something else to do, so I and Xingyan will leave first."

Gu Xiao called his assistant and handed Su Hua several beautifully packaged boxes. "A little jewelry is not respectful. Please accept it, Aunt Su Hua."

Su Hua smiled, "It's just a little effort. Being polite is just a courtesy when meeting my aunt."

"They are all worthless gadgets, given to my sister Xingyan." Gu Xiao looked at Su Xingyan, "Thank you, sister Xingyan. If it weren't for you today, I would have been scolded by my father."

Su Xingyan smiled elegantly and said, "You should be nice to Chu Yun in the future, otherwise my mother and I won't come to help you."

"Definitely, that little girl is my soul and my life. How can I be willing to bully her? My mother also said that if I dare to bully her, she will break my legs."

Su Hua felt that Gu Xiao was much better than his father in this aspect.

Even if I beat Gu Jinyao to death, I wouldn't be able to say such a thing.

Gu Xiao sent his assistant to deliver the box to Su Hua and Su Xingyan's car.

The mother and daughter got into the car.

Su Xingyan opened several jewelry boxes and looked at them. What kind of worthless things were in the boxes?

It was clearly a valuable piece of jewelry.

However, Su Xingyan had been used to it since childhood and was not surprised.

Close the jewelry box and set it aside.

Su Xingyan asked Su Hua: "Mom, do you think these seven paintings were painted by seven people, or by the same person? How old is the faker? With such a skilled painting style, he must be over forty, right? "

Su Hua said: "I feel that these seven paintings should be by the same person, and he is not very old, between 30 and [-] years old, so there is a hint of impetuousness in the paintings. After a person reaches forty, his life will gradually become smoother. The impetuousness will also subside. But the person over forty is of the same generation as me, and I have never heard of such a powerful person, so I speculate that he is a young man and his activities are secretive. "

"Two 30 years old? So young."

"To be able to master the painting styles of seven painters proficiently and to deceive modern instruments and experienced treasure appraisers is something that cannot be achieved simply through hard work. It requires a high level of talent."

Su Xingyan was silent, "We must find that person as soon as possible. If he continues to fake it, it will be a disaster for the antiques industry."

"Correct."

back home.

Su Hua entered the study, drew a portrait of the forger based on speculation, and passed it to Gu Jinyao.

When Gu Beixian comes back, he will explain the matter to him in detail.

Gu Beixian said: "Leave this matter to me. If this matter cannot be pushed forward and the person behind the scenes is not found, the other party will intensify their efforts to deal with Gu Xiao and A Yao."

Su Huayan smiled at Yan Yan, "Our Xianxian is becoming more and more like a superior person. Look, this mentality is so grand."

Gu Beixian's thin lips curled up slightly, "There's nothing you can do about it. If your son marries someone else's daughter, he has to do something to please his family, right?"

Su Hua couldn't help laughing, "Yes, everything you say is right."

Seven or eight days later.

Gu Jinyao and Gu Beixian's people found the counterfeiter at about the same time.

Su Xingyan, Gu Yifeng, and Gu Xiao led people to meet him.

The man's residence was quite secluded, far away from the city.

The group of people drove for a long time before arriving.

The house he lives in is also quite simple, not at all like a place where someone who made huge profits through counterfeiting should live.

When they opened the door of the house and saw the scene inside, everyone was stunned.
