The daughter-in-law’s son-in-law

Lin Tian raised his eyebrows and was about to speak, but the store manager suddenly walked around him and ran to the door of the store with a smile on his face.

"Director Fang is here, rare visitor, please come in quickly!"

Director Fang?

Everyone in the store turned to look, including Lin Tian.

But after seeing the appearance of the person clearly, Lin Tian's eyes showed surprise.

He knew this man whom the store manager respectfully called Director Fang, and it was Zhu Ziming, the richest man in Chuzhou, who introduced him to him.

That's right.

This Director Fang is Fang Zhenhua, the head of the Chuzhou Housing and Urban-Rural Planning Bureau.

"I came here to see if there are any new gadgets." Fang Zhenhua said with a smile, suddenly and unintentionally flicked his smile, and his smile froze for an instant, then bloomed with a stronger smile again, and walked forward quickly.

"Mr. Lin, I didn't expect to meet you here. What a fate!"

The store manager was suddenly shocked, "Director Fang, do you know this gentleman? He just said that the paintings in our store are fake..."

Fang Zhenhua was stunned, then smiled and shook his head, "I'm sorry, Manager Wang, this Mr. Lin doesn't know much about antique calligraphy and painting. Don't take what he just said seriously."

Yubaoxuan has a history of hundreds of years.

Moreover, the three words "Yu Baoxuan" are a gold-lettered signboard. There have never been any fakes sold in the store, and there has never been any news about selling fakes.

Therefore, Fang Zhenhua does not think that there will be fakes in Yubaoxuan.

Lin Tianchong nodded and smiled at Fang Zhenhua. The other party just said that to help him, but...

"Director Fang, I believe you know antique calligraphy and painting. Take a good look at this picture of Begonia and Two Crabs and decide whether it is real or fake."

As soon as Lin Tian said this, Fang Zhenhua did not dare to neglect and quickly stepped forward to check the situation.

After all, this Mr. Lin is Zhu Ziming's guest, and all the recent big moves in Chuzhou were caused by this person...

Fang Zhenhua thought in his mind, his eyes gradually became sharper, and he stared at the picture of Begonia and Crabs carefully.

When the manager Wang saw this, he couldn't help but said to Lin Tian, ​​"Sir, if you insist on thinking that the ink painting of Begonia and Double Crab in our store is fake. Then we are really going to sue you!"

Lin Tian smiled playfully, "If your ink painting of Begonia and Two Crabs is real, how about I compensate your store for [-] million in reputational damage?"

The store manager was stunned.

Lin Tian picked up the gold card that Han Ziwen had just placed on the counter and handed it over.

"Here, here's the deposit, take it first."

Han Ziwen was also confused.

Lin Tian actually used her money to gamble?

"Lin Tian, ​​you..."

"Don't worry." Lin Tian seemed to have guessed what Han Ziwen wanted to say, and interrupted her directly, "If you lose, I will accept you as my disciple."

Han Ziwen immediately smiled, "Okay!"

"Okay!" Manager Wang suddenly shouted, "Since sir insists on doing this, then there is no reason why I, Yubaoxuan, can't accompany you to the end!"

"Come here, take out the Begonia and Crab picture from the display cabinet and let this gentleman take a good look at it!"

Lin Tian shook his head and smiled, "No rush, let Director Fang take a look first. After all, he is a regular customer of your store."

Store Manager Wang was stunned, "Okay, no problem, Director Fang, please come!"

Fang Zhenhua laughed dryly and took the magnifying glass, "Mr. Lin, then I will make a fool of myself."

"You're welcome, Director Fang, please give it a try."

ten minutes later.

Fang Zhenhua put down the magnifying glass and shook his head at Lin Tian with some embarrassment.

"Mr. Lin, I really don't see anything fake about this painting."

In an instant, everyone in the store turned their attention to Lin Tian, ​​all filled with contempt and disdain.

Han Ziwen frowned, as if he wanted to say something, but he hesitated.

"If you don't have the ability to identify treasures, don't go to a century-old store and embarrass yourself!"

"That's right. Don't even look at where this place is. Yubaoxuan, a century-old golden sign!"

"This kid is looking for trouble at first glance..."

Just because Han Ziwen was silent, it didn't mean that others wouldn't ridicule him.

For a time, many people in the store began to criticize Lin Tian.

Store Manager Wang had a contemptuous smile on his face, "Sir, are you satisfied with this result?"

Lin Tian was not angry and smiled lightly, "Director Fang, are you sure there is nothing wrong with this picture of crabapples and crabs?"

Fang Zhenhua rubbed his hands in embarrassment, "Mr. Lin, I...I really don't see anything wrong with this painting."

"Whether it's the paper or the promotion and seal on it, everything is correct."

Hearing this, Lin Tian shook his head in disappointment, "It seems that Director Fang really just likes collecting antiques."

Lin Tian said, pointing to the picture of Begonia and Two Crabs, "The fakery of this picture is very high, and most people really can't tell it."

"As Director Fang said just now, this painting is the same as the real thing, whether it's the paper on which it was painted or the promotion, signature, and seal on it."

"But the inks and pigments used in this painting are all fake. They are not the traditional Chinese painting pigments and inks from Mr. Shiraishi's era."

"Furthermore, the painting process is printed using woodblock watermarks. Anyone who is slightly immersed in antique calligraphy and painting will find these problems if they take a closer look."

As soon as Lin Tian said these words, Fang Zhenhua's eyes suddenly widened slightly.

He originally thought that Lin Tian didn't understand antique calligraphy and painting, but he didn't expect that Lin Tian not only understood it, but also understood it very well.

The so-called woodblock watermark means that the counterfeiter disassembles the original work into many pieces and covers them layer by layer for printing.

Moreover, in this process, instead of ink, Chinese painting pigments and handmade inks are used.

Therefore, the printed effect is very realistic, and the woodblock watermark is not like industrial printing, which is extremely complex in workmanship.

However, the paintings produced have distinct layers and are so delicate that it is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish between true and false.

When the store was completely silent, Manager Wang suddenly said coldly, "Sir, although you are right, as far as I know, the paintings made with woodblock watermarks are all modern imitations, but the ones in our store are Zhang Haitang's double crab painting is just like Director Fang said just now, the paper used for the painting is not modern..."

"The paper used for painting is indeed the paper of that era, but the person painting is a modern person." Lin Tian directly interrupted Manager Wang.

"The so-called counterfeiting method of woodblock watermarking cannot be printed on the rice paper produced by modern industrialization."

"But times are progressing, technology is developing, and woodblock watermarking has also changed."

"As far as I know, today's woodblock watermarking technology can be printed on any paper."

"And those who are skilled in counterfeiting can buy the watermark prints and directly add color to them with a brush, and manually create traces of water stains, etc."

"If a short-sighted person like you sees it, he will definitely think it is real."

Lin Tian's words immediately left Store Manager Wang speechless and choked. He didn't know what to say at all, so he could only defend loudly in anger.

"Our Imperial Treasure House has a history of hundreds of years. The three words Imperial Treasure House are a golden signboard. There have never been any fakes in our store!"

"This picture of Begonia and Crab was collected by the shopkeeper himself. How could it be fake? Absolutely impossible!"
