When he saw this identical gourd bottle, Li Xiaoning sighed slightly and without saying anything, he took out his wallet, ordered a thousand yuan and handed it over.
The old man happily took it, nodded, and then said with a smile: "Boss, can I wrap it up for you?"
"No need." Li Xiaoning shook his head, walked forward, picked up the gourd bottle and played with it carefully in his hand. He saw that the porcelain body was delicate and dense, and the glaze layer was even and smooth, making people unable to put it down.
"What a good thing!" Li Xiaoning sighed.
"That is to say, boss, you are just lucky. If we were not short of money, we would not sell the things handed down from our ancestors. I'm sorry to our ancestors!" The old man looked like he couldn't bear it.
A "pop" interrupted the old man's words, and the blue and white gourd vase fell from Li Xiaoning's hand to the cement floor and fell into pieces.
Even Liu Qifeng was stunned at this time. He didn't know why he was praising the bottle one second and smashing it to pieces the next second.
Li Xiaoning bent down and picked up a piece of porcelain. The crack was white and dazzling...
Li Xiaoning brought the porcelain piece to the old man and shined it, then threw it back into the pile of fragments and said with a sneer: "Is this also an old thing passed down from our ancestors?"
The old man's face turned red and he smacked his lips, but in the end he didn't say a word.
"How many such things are there in total?" Li Xiaoning asked coldly.
"No more, just these two." The old man lowered his head and said.
"It won't happen again in the future, right?" Li Xiaoning said, staring closely into the old man's eyes.
"No, absolutely not." The old man shook his head repeatedly and said.
"That's good!" Li Xiaoning turned around and said to Liu Qifeng, "Mr. Liu, let's go."
Liu Qifeng had a sullen face and took the lead out of the door. When he got to the car, he asked slightly sulkily: "Did you know that the bottle was a fake from the beginning?"
"I really didn't see it at first, it looked too similar, but then when I asked them if they had anything else, they let the stuff slip, and I thought this thing might not be real." Li Xiaoning said calmly.
"Then why do you still spend these 7,000 yuan? Just to teach you a lesson?" Liu Qifeng said angrily and funny.
"The six thousand yuan was for buying the calligraphy, but the last one thousand yuan was for buying the bottle." A sly smile appeared at the corner of Li Xiaoning's mouth.
"That calligraphy?" Liu Qifeng was stunned, "Didn't you say that the calligraphy was a fake?"
Li Xiaoning smiled slightly and said: "Chief, that's Dong Qichang's calligraphy. One foot costs several million, let alone three feet? If I didn't say it was a fake, how could I buy this thing?"
"Is it an authentic work?" Liu Qifeng suddenly became energetic again.
Li Xiaoning said with a smile: "The calligraphy we just bought, according to the old man, the paper, the ink, and the mounting are all real old things. The calligraphy reveals the leisurely, light and comfortable feeling."
Its elegant and self-sufficient charm cannot be faked. Therefore, this calligraphy is authentic.
"But that seal does look fake. How to explain this?" Liu Qifeng was still a little confused.
Li Xiaoning laughed and said: "That was indeed a fake. He probably thought it would be difficult to sell without a seal, but he didn't know that Dong Qichang's seals. According to incomplete statistics, there are more than a hundred seals in total. Most of them have the same seal but the same shape.
, seals with different sizes, sealing methods, and knife skills. The difference between his seals and other calligraphers and painters is that there are several sets of his seals that are similar. It is difficult to find a standard appearance, so it is difficult to identify the authenticity of his calligraphy and paintings.
It cannot be based on the seal.
What is even more unreliable is that some of his most famous works, especially those in his own collection, are never sealed, and some ghost-written paintings and calligraphy are instead stamped with genuine seals or bearing genuine inscriptions. Therefore, it is necessary to identify the authenticity of Dong Qichang's paintings and calligraphy.
, mainly depends on calligraphy and painting itself, that is, brushwork, composition, structure, ink, color, etc.
Now that the genuine product has been faked, it becomes fake, which I can take advantage of. But even if this is the case, we can't buy it directly, otherwise the father and son will definitely become suspicious, and it will be difficult to buy it if they get suspicious."
"You are so good, Xiao Li, you are such a thief." Liu Qifeng happily patted Li Xiaoning on the shoulder and said, "What you did was to build the plank road in the open and secretly build the warehouse. You obviously wanted to buy that bottle.
, but actually I went there for the words."
Li Xiaoning smiled shyly and said: "Dong Qichang's calligraphy is very rare. If you come across it, you can't miss the opportunity. Don't worry, sir, this calligraphy is definitely worth giving away."
Liu Qifeng was in a good mood, and asked with a smile: "Why did you go back and spend a thousand yuan to buy another bottle, and then broke it?"
Li Xiaoning smiled meaningfully and said, "That bottle was very fake. The reason why I wanted to go back was to confirm its authenticity. As soon as they took out another bottle, I knew that I must have bought a fake.
These counterfeiters, since they have made a fake, will definitely be reluctant to make just one, but they will not make more high-end imitations like this. After all, it will be worthless if they make more, usually only two. In front of them, I
He smashed another bottle in front of them, just to scare them so that they would not dare to make similar fakes in the future.
Secondly, although this high imitation bottle is a fake, it is enough to resemble the real one. If only the bottle in your hand, Chief, survives, if you find a suitable opportunity, you can still sell it for a good price."
"Okay, very good. It can be said that we have returned home with a full load today. Let's go home." Liu Qifeng said happily, leaning on the back of the chair and closing his eyes. After this experience, he felt even more satisfied with Li Xiaoning.
——This boy is smarter than he thought. He understands many things in the officialdom. What’s even more rare is that he is loyal to himself. Antiques worth tens of millions are not hidden from him at all. These things
They are many times stronger than that kid Mao Qiushi. You can consider giving him a heavier burden.
In fact, we can’t blame Liu Qifeng for taking Li Xiaoning seriously so rashly. For a leader, especially one with Liu Qifeng’s status, a good secretary is often more important than the heads of several departments. Leaders are too busy, and some things they can’t think of, some
Things are inconvenient to do. All these require a good secretary to think about what the leader thinks and wants, and to respond to the leader's urgent needs. More importantly, the secretary is often the person who has the most secrets of the leader. If his own
If the secretary and himself are not of the same mind, then the leader will be even worse.
Therefore, don’t take secretaries too lightly. Secretaries are easy to find, but good secretaries are never hard to find. There is another reason why good secretaries are even more precious. That is that a leader cannot keep a secretary with him.
If you have been working for too long, you will usually have to put your secretaries out for promotion after working for a few years. Because if you don't do this, no one will be willing to work with you in the future. For this reason, there will be even fewer secretaries who are satisfactory.
But Li Xiaoning fully meets these conditions. He is smart, knows a lot, knows how to get things done, is loyal to his "boss", and is a recent graduate. Even if he is released after a few years, he will not be dissatisfied.
