Volume 1 - First Entry to the Trade Union Chapter 45: Wisdom Eyes

"Why is this kid's eyes shining!" Fu Luxu couldn't help but ask in a low voice when he saw Shi Shisi's appearance.

"Who knows? Isn't it just that I know an antique gun, look at this guy's smug!" Xia Minghe also looked disdainful, "When other artworks come up later, he won't continue to make a fool of himself. Miss Qu, what do you think?"

"I don't dare to express my opinion either. Let's see what the Fourteenth Young Master will do next!" Qu Yuxiao replied.

Although the three of them were very quiet, unfortunately they did not escape Shi Shisi and Ershuang's ears.

"Shitou, these people are underestimating you!" Ershuangshuang said with a smile.

"Don't worry! Let them look at each other with admiration!"

"Let's go to the private auction stage! Please invite invited collectors to come on stage to display their lots." Yu Luo on the rostrum announced loudly.

Shi Shisi found it strange and had not waited for the question. Bian Cai, behind him, had already explained to him: "Senior Master, this is a special link in our auction house. Some private collectors will be invited to auction their collections in person. You should pay attention, and real treasures will often appear."

"Thank you, Boss Bian! I will pay close attention."

At this time, a person walked up from the rostrum, holding a blue and white plate in his hand. "The lot provided by this seller is the official kiln blue and white porcelain plate from the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, with a base price of 2 million yuan." Yu Luo announced loudly.

"I'll pay 3 million!" Fu Luxu looked at the close-up of the porcelain plate on the big screen and was about to press the auction button.

"Three million, buy a fake, but I didn't expect Director Fu to be willing to spend money!" Shi Shisi sneered.

"How is it possible for fakes?" Fu Luxu said angrily, "With my years of experience, this porcelain plate is indeed a finished product in the Hongwu period."

"Haha, Hongwu is Hongwu, but this is not a fine official kiln porcelain. This large plate comes from a folk kiln, and it is really not worth the price!" Shi Shisi said.

"How is this possible! Fourteenth Young Master, you are too arbitrary!" Fu Luxu said angrily.

"As far as I know, Shen Wansan, who was the most prosperous in the world at that time, admired the craftsmanship of the official kiln, specially ordered people to build a folk kiln and imitate a batch of blue and white porcelain. But in fact, the workmanship and artistic value of the two are still far from each other. If you don't believe it, you can ask the experts to help you identify it." Shi Shisi said lightly.

"Everyone is out of company, I'll go down and take a look!" Bian Cai finished speaking and left the VIP private room.

Not long after, Bian Cai returned and said to the buyers very apologetically: "I'm sorry to everyone. After careful verification just now, the blue and white plate was the same as the Fourteenth Master said, and it was indeed a folk kiln imitation. Director Fu, sorry!"

"What, it's really a fake!" Fu Luxu was shocked and speechless. "I didn't expect that I had been studying antiques for a lifetime and was not as good as such a young man."

At this time, another unsightly seller came on stage, holding a bronze statue of a girl in his hand, but the girl looked strange and her eyes were very asymmetrical, giving people a strange feeling.

"Don't underestimate this sculpture. This is the work of Dali, a master of Western countries, with a minimum price of 3 million." The buyer said confidently.

"This sculpture is very consistent with Dali's artistic style, and the texture should be a finished product from the 1940s. I believe this sculpture is indeed worth the price!" Xia Minghe said confidently.

"Boss Xia, listen to me. This sculpture was not made by Dali. Although Dali's artistic style is extremely weird, to be honest, his works generally do not use girls as the protagonists." Shi Shisi said.

"Boss Bian?" Xia Minghe turned his gaze to Bian Cai.

"Please go down and take a look later." Bian Cai hurriedly ran downstairs.

After a while, Bian Cai walked up with a dark face. "I'm really sorry, this time I got the Fourteenth Master to the point."

Fu Luxu and Xia Minghe were a little shocked. "Did this person pretend to be ignorant just now?"

At this moment, someone started auctioning a calligraphy and painting downstairs. The man claimed to be a copybook of Liu Rushi, the eight beauties of Qinhuai.

"Fourth Young Master, do you see whether the calligraphy and painting are true or not!" Qu Yuxiao asked Shi Shisi with a smile.

"Miss Qu, according to me, this copybook is indeed written by Liu Rushi. Whether it is the handwriting or the elegance between the lines, it should be undoubtedly Hedongjun!"

Shi Shisi's previous life was Liu Rushi's good friend Dong Xiaowan, and she knew Liu Rushi's work very well.

"With this sentence from the 14th Young Master, Yuxiao took photos!" After saying that, Qu Yuxiao took over Liu Rushi's calligraphy and paintings for 400,000 without hesitation.

Then many sellers took out a lot of lots of items, some real and fake, but they did not escape Shi Shisi's sharp eyes. After arguing, Fu Luxu and Xia Minghe, who had doubts about him just now, were already impressed by them.

"It seems that the 14th Young Master just teased us on purpose!" Fu Luxu couldn't help but blush.

"Yes, I was showing off my skills in front of me just now. I feel ashamed to say it!" Xia Minghe also smiled embarrassedly.

At this time, the auction came to an end. Yu Luo announced loudly: "Next, we will invite the final item of this auction, and it is also the item with the highest price at our auction. The price is 20 million."

As soon as Yu Luo finished speaking, a white-haired foreign old man slowly walked up to the stage. Several burly bodyguards behind him walked up with a piece of art covered with a piece of white cloth.

"What exactly is this finale item? It's such a big scene?" "I think it's either a sculpture or an ancient painting. I just don't know which one's work is." The auctioneers in the audience talked in a silence.

"Okay, next I'll reveal the biggest answer. The last lot is the hidden work of the famous artist Da Vinci, "The Angels in the World"" Yu Luo said as he uncovered the white cloth.

A colorful oil painting was presented to the audience. There were stars in the night sky, and a beautiful angel was waving his wings. I wonder if he was going to heaven or land on earth. He lowered his head, and many children on the earth were looking at him with anticipation.

Everyone was intoxicated by the wonderful artistic conception of this painting. Except for Shi Shisi, his face twitched unnaturally.

"Is this a work of Leonardo da Vinci?" A voice of doubt soon sounded out of the audience, "It seems that Leonardo da Vinci has never been left in the world!"

The foreign old man suddenly said something, but the audience didn't understand.

"Which country is this guy speaking? Why doesn't he look like English?" Xia Minghe couldn't help frowning.

"Of course it's not English, he speaks Italian Mandarin." Qu Yuxiao explained, "It's a pity that I know very little about Italian Mandarin."

"What he meant was that this painting was passed down from his ancestors. It was said that Leonardo da Vinci gave this painting to his ancestors by chance. Their family has always regarded it as a treasure, so it was not made public." Shi Shisi said casually.

"I didn't expect that the 14th Young Master still knew how to speak Mandarin!" Qu Yuxiao said in surprise.

"Just understand a little!" Shi Shisi smiled.

The on-site translation of Yu Luo was immediately in line with Shi Shisi's statement.

"This old man took out the painting for auction due to a family change. Our auction house specially invited experts to do an appraisal, and it was undoubtedly a work of Leonardo da Vinci. Although the artistic value is much worse than the master's most famous works such as "Mona Lisa", it is still a treasure." Yu Luo explained vigorously, "I hope that the knowledgeable people present will be lucky enough to shoot this masterpiece."

"Boss Bian, are you sure this painting is a work of Leonardo da Vinci?" Fu Luxu seemed very moved after hearing Yu Luo's hard shouting.

"Director Fu, please rest assured. After being identified by all the experts in our auction house, 99% can be confirmed that the goods provided by this old man from Italy are indeed genuine." Bian Cai said solemnly.

"With your words, I will......"

"One hundred million!" Shi Shisi's casual offer directly interrupted Fu Luxu's words.

"Fourth Young Master, you want to take this painting." Bian Cai's voice trembled a little.

"That's right, just report my price." Shi Shisi said lightly.

The next auction became unsurprising. Shi Shisi took down the last item at a shocking price, and even the VIP private room was unable to compete.

Ershuang looked at Shi Shisi and couldn't help but smile: "I don't know what Lao Wang is thinking now, I guess he will hurt again!"

Soon today's auction came to an end, and Yu Luo also brought famous paintings to the VIP private room. At this time, everyone in the VIP private room did not leave. Because another good show was about to begin.

"Fourth Young Master, your billion yuan involves a large transaction. How are you going to deliver it?" Bian Cai asked with a smile.

"Boss Bian, this 100 million yuan is just a small amount for me, and I can pay it at any time." Shi Shisi said lightly, "But before that I want to ask, what if this painting is fake?"

Bian Cai's heart skipped a beat, but he quickly returned to his peace. "Fourth Young Master, you are really good at joking."

"I'm not kidding, but I know clearly that your auction house has made promises to all buyers. If the buyer can prove that the artwork is a fake after he gets it, your store will make double compensation. Is there anything like this?" Shi Shisi asked.

"The Fourteenth Master said it well, there is indeed this matter." Bian Cai nodded, "But what does it have to do with this painting? It has been identified by major well-known experts and will not be fake."

"What if I could prove that this painting was fake?" Shi Shisi said, staring at Bian Cai and others with a sharp look.

"This!" A hint of panic flashed between Bian Cai's eyebrows, "Fourth Young Master, you can't say anything randomly. If you can't prove it, I have to reserve the right to sue you for infringement of your reputation right!"

"Then please see what this is!" Shi Shisi took out his phone casually, and it was the wanted order of the old man from the Yiguo Kingdom.
