: The secret

Jiang Jingren glanced at Lin Yu, saw Lin Yu smiled, and told him to say whatever he wanted. Then he puffed up his chest, with a hint of pride in his expression, and said, "Speaking of this Yancaotang, there is a history. I

Let me explain its name to you first. The name can be read separately. Although Yan is the wild goose of Dayan, it is actually a fake. And this thatched cottage means thatched house, which symbolizes the folk people.

The words Caotang, as the name suggests, are a place set up by a group of private people to specialize in developing counterfeit products!"

As he said this, he turned to look at Lin Yu, as if asking his son-in-law if what he said was right.

Lin Yu smiled and nodded at him, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes. He didn't expect that his father-in-law was quite knowledgeable! It seems that he does a lot of research on weekdays, but it's a pity that this kind of enthusiasm for learning is...

Used in the counterfeit world!

Jiang Jingren received Lin Yu's affirmation and became more confident, and continued, "However, their fakes are not ordinary fakes. They are equivalent to Hermès and LV in the fake world. They are extremely expensive, but the production is very fine, and they can be mistaken for real ones.

Many people are even willing to spend a lot of money to buy a piece of Yancaotang's work as a collection. I have always wanted to buy one, but things from Yancaotang are as precious and rare as the real ones on the market. After so many years, I have never been able to buy one.

have to!"

As he spoke, Jiang Jingren shook his head with great regret and sighed.

"Uncle, do you mean that these two paintings and two brush washes are all made by Yancaotang?!"

Zhou Chen's expression changed, he hurriedly stepped forward, and said in surprise, "You said this Yancaotang is so magical, but I have been working in antiques with my father for nearly twenty years, how come I have never heard of this non-governmental organization?!"

"Yeah, we haven't heard of this Yancaotang either..."

"No, I haven't heard of it either!"

Master Chen and Master Qi also looked at each other with surprise on their faces. It’s fine that Zhou Chen has been in the antique industry for twenty years and has never heard of it. They have been in the antique industry for forty or fifty years! Why?

never heard of that?!

"Uh...this..."

Jiang Jingren, who was still confident at first, couldn't help but feel ashamed when he heard this. He scratched his head and said: "Maybe it's because you don't have much research on fakes. For us old men in government departments, although we love these antique calligraphy and paintings,

, but the real ones are too expensive, and we really can’t afford them, so we can only buy some fake ones to satisfy our craving, so when we get together on weekdays, the most discussed thing is which fakes are the best..."

Before meeting Lin Yu, except for some cheap antiques, almost all the other items in Jiang Jingren's home were fakes. Because with his income level, he could not afford famous calligraphy and painting utensils worth millions or tens of millions, so he was very interested in fakes.

This line of research is extremely thorough.

Even now, he doesn't dare to bid casually for an authentic product that he cherishes so much, otherwise all his old fortune would have been ruined by him!

"Uncle, I have studied the counterfeiting industry quite thoroughly, but I have never heard of the name Yancaotang!"

Zhou Chen frowned and asked in confusion. Although their family has always only accepted genuine products, in order to strictly guard against counterfeit products, they had already searched the entire counterfeit market, but he had never heard of the name of Yancaotang.

Even his father never mentioned it to him!

"Then I...I don't know anymore. In fact, I also heard about this Yancaotang from a friend in the circle. At that time, he showed me an imitation of Tang Sancai. It was indeed top-notch in skill. Anyway, in my eyes

, it’s impossible to tell whether it’s true or not!”

Jiang Jingren said with some confusion, then looked at Lin Yu helplessly, passed the problem to Lin Yu, and said, "How about, let my son-in-law explain it to you!"

Lin Yu grinned and said to Jiang Jingren: "Dad, it's actually very difficult for you to know this!"

As he spoke, he turned to look at Master Chen and Master Qi, and said with a smile: "Both masters and Zhou Chen don't know about this Yancaotang, which is reasonable, because Yancaotang is a non-governmental organization in the late Qing Dynasty, and

It was destroyed during the Republic of China period. Indeed, as my father said, their family specializes in antique counterfeiting. Their skills are superb and they are the unique leader in the counterfeiting industry!"

"No wonder!"

Master Chen, Master Qi and Zhou Chen suddenly understood.

"But even though it was destroyed, why have I never seen their imitations on the market?!"

Zhou Chen asked doubtfully, although Yancaotang has been destroyed, their products will not be destroyed, at least they will still be circulated in the market. However, Zhou Chen has been exposed to the counterfeit market for so many years and has never seen anything from Yancaotang.

work.

Lin Yu smiled faintly and said, "My dad just said that although the imitations of Yancaotang are not genuine, they are also valuable for collection because of their superb skills, and most of the imitations they imitate are extremely valuable collections.

, so even if it is a fake, it may be worth tens of millions or even tens of millions, who would be willing to sell it?!"

After hearing this, Zhou Chen and the two masters couldn't help but look at each other and nodded. If it is true as Lin Yu said, then this fake is indeed of great collection value!

"its not right!"

Master Chen looked at the two paintings and two brush washes on the table and said, "Mr. He, if it is true what you said, these two paintings and two brush washes are all fakes, but Lao Qi and I have studied it.
