It’s not that imitations don’t have any artistic value or market value. On the contrary, if they can be fake and authentic, they are worth collecting. The most typical example is Mr. Daqian, who only comes out once in five hundred years. Even if it is an imitation of Tang Yin, Works imitating Shi Tao and Bada Shanren are also very popular in the market, and there are many imitations worth RMB 10 to 20 million.

Li Mo had seen the original painting "Spring Outing" by Zhan Ziqian of the Sui Dynasty in the Palace Museum. To be honest, if someone could imitate that painting to look like the real thing, the level would definitely be high.

That's why Li Mo wanted to see it with his own eyes.

Franke walked aside and made a phone call, probably arranging for her family to send over the fake "Spring Outing" painting.

The happiest moment for Steven and Gulish was when they returned to the hotel, and a check every day was indispensable. They really wanted to follow him and serve him every day.

"You go and rest first. I'll call you if I need anything."

The two of them took the check and left respectfully. Franke also made a phone call and came back to sit down and said: "My daughter will be able to arrive at eight or nine tomorrow morning. Mr. Qin, what do you think about the cooperation I just mentioned?" ?”

"I won't sell that Ming and Xuande cloisonné dragon-patterned lid jar, but you said you could introduce me to the seller, and I'm a little interested. But since you've participated in it a few times, I'd better tell me the situation first. Be prepared."

"To put it simply, a lot of the business done by the underground forces is shady. The origins of many antiques are unknown, and many antiques cannot be identified. Anyway, every time I take a certain boss there, it is like Taobao, and of course there are things missing. There are also those who have a good eye. You can guess that Mr. Qin is an expert in antique appraisal. Only when you get there can you give full play to your abilities."

Franke was eloquent, for fear that Li Mo would not be interested in that underground deal.

"Mr. Qin, there are three religions and nine schools gathered over there. It's a mixed bag of fish and dragons. It's very dangerous."

Dashan reminded from the side, "The United States is not like China. It is very chaotic here. If the two underground forces really do it, all kinds of firepower will be used. We are not familiar with the place here, so we should give priority to our own safety." .”

Franke quickly explained: "Mr. Qin, you can rest assured about safety issues. The people who go to trade there are either rich or expensive. They don't want to cut off their own financial paths, let alone be joined by those big chaebols and the police." Fight and kill."

"Da Shan, let's go take a look tomorrow."

Li Mo made a decision, and Dashan couldn't say anything else.

The next morning, Li Mo sat on the sofa and scrolled through the news on his mobile phone. The country was still so lively recently. Two hot searches were actually related to Qin Sirui. One was that she was about to launch a costume drama, and the other was Said she might be married and have children.

"boring."

Li Mo said to himself, this is May carrying a plate of fruit and pushing the door open, followed by Frank and a young woman with blond hair and blue eyes.

"Mr. Qin, good morning."

Li Mo turned to look, smiled and said, "Mr. Franke, sit here. This beautiful girl, please sit down."

"Hello, Mr. Qin, my name is Ruth." Ruth spoke normal Chinese. She put a painting tube in her hand on the table and looked at Li Mo with curiosity in her eyes.

"My daughter, she sent over a copy of "Spring Outing" overnight."

Ruth pulled out the scroll painting from the painting tube. Li Mo put on clean white gloves, then untied the rope and slowly unfolded it.

The theme of this painting is spring outing. The picture is not large, but the scene is very open. The picture adopts the overhead view method, and the distant and close shots are brought together to the middle ground, so that the various scenes are completely and harmoniously unified into one picture, with clear layers.

The whole picture is quite ancient in terms of coloring and brushwork. The lines of mountains, rocks and trees are full of changes in lightness and weight. The author used a strong green color as the main tone of the whole painting. The strong green color is also the right tone.

It is a characteristic of spring natural scenery. The use of this color is called the "green method", which created a unique style of Chinese landscape painting.

This is Li Mo’s most intuitive feeling when he first sees the whole painting.

Looking at the details carefully, the picture shows a spring landscape where water and sky meet. There are green mountains and a melting lake. Tourists are riding horses or stopping by the lake. Beautiful ladies are boating on the water. The breeze is warm and the water surface is sparkling.

.On the shore, peaches and apricots are blooming, and the grass is green, depicting the bright scenery and the look of tourists enjoying themselves in the mountains and waters.

Various flowers and trees are dotted all over the mountains and fields, complementing each other. The whole picture shows the beauty of space everywhere. The painter uses green and gold to depict the landscape, and fills the tree trunks with ocher, setting the precedent for the golden landscape. The characters in the painting, the arrangement of the landscape

The density is appropriate, showing the artistic characteristics of mountains and rivers far and near, and thousands of miles away.

At the end of this painting is Zhan Ziqian's small seal script seal.

The more Li Mo looked at it, the more he felt that the artistic conception of this painting was very high, and it was definitely not something that anyone could imitate. If compared with the masterpiece collected in the Palace Museum, there is almost no difference in the overall layout.

There are slight changes in the details of the characters, green mountains, and lakes.

The biggest difference is that except for Zhan Ziqian’s seal, this silk painting does not have the inscription and seal of anyone else. However, the one collected in the Palace Museum has the inscription of Song Huizong, as well as the Yuan Dynasty talents Feng Zizhen and Zhao Yan.

, after Zhang Gui and other literati composed poems, the seal was collected by Yan Song, a powerful minister in the Ming Dynasty. After entering the Qing Dynasty, it passed through the hands of some people and was finally collected by Puyi and finally taken out of the palace.

It can be said that Zhan Ziqian's "Spring Outing" in the National Palace Museum is a priceless treasure that has been passed down in an orderly manner.

But this picture in front of me.

The more Li Mo looked at it, the more extraordinary he felt. Finally, he used the strange boy to look at it. A red and black halo suddenly appeared from the picture, and then turned into countless circles of light that spread around, endlessly.

This is definitely a divine painting from the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Its artistic level is comparable to that of Yan Liben from the Tang Dynasty. Li Mo was dumbfounded at this moment. What on earth is going on? One of the paintings collected in the National Palace Museum is definitely authentic.

But there is actually an authentic one here in the United States.

If it weren't for the evidence of the strange child, Li Mo would never believe that an almost identical "Spring Outing" would appear in the world.

"Mr. Qin, do you think this is a fake?"

Franke saw a slight change in Li Mo's face and was worried that he would not appreciate such a fake, so he couldn't help but ask cautiously.

Li Mo came back to his senses, calmed down his emotions, rolled it up again, took off his white gloves without haste, sat back on the sofa and said with a smile: "To be honest with you, if I hadn't seen it in the Palace Museum, I would have seen it

I even suspect that this fake is the original "Spring Outing" by Zhan Ziqian from the Sui Dynasty."

"Hey, the artistic level of the faker is really too high." Franke sighed deeply, he was almost bankrupted by the trick, "Mr. Qin, if you like it, how much are you willing to pay for this fake?"

"Hahaha, Mr. Franke, you are also an expert in this field. How can there be any buyer to bid for it? If you make a price, I will buy it if it is suitable."

Li Mo took a piece of apple with a fork and ate it.

"Regardless of its true or false identity, just from the artistic level itself, this "Spring Outing" is also very impressive, so I think the price is 100,000 US dollars."
