Chapter 11 It turns out to be the best of the best
On the other side, Chen Ping and the four of them left the villa and took the Shen family's car to the Shen family's villa in the city.
At this time, it was already half past one in the morning.
Several people entered the hall.
The servants poured some cups of tea for everyone.
"Dr. Chen, thank you for your hard work today."
"I promise you the reward, I will call you now."
Shen Beichen promised to give Chen Ping five million. Now that the auction is over, of course he must fulfill his promise.
"Mr. Shen, you gave me too much money. Besides, I couldn't help with the auction just now."
"Dr. Chen, you're welcome. You helped me detoxify and saved my life."
"Five million to buy my life, Shen Beichen, is cheap enough."
Chen Ping still said something, and at this time Tang Bei also said: "Dr. Chen, Mr. Shen is a man of credibility. If you agree to five million, you will definitely not break your promise."
"Otherwise, if others find out, they will think Mr. Shen is stingy."
"Besides, Mr. Shen is not short of the money. Just give Mr. Shen your card number."
"That's okay."
Chen Ping was also helpless. He clearly didn't want to receive money, but he had no choice but to pay if others insisted.
So, he gave the card number to Shen Beichen.
In less than a minute, his mobile phone had bank account information.
It shows that the bank card has received 5 million.
Chen Ping was very excited when he saw so much money suddenly added to his card.
At this time, Shen Lulu, who had been silent until now, started complaining a little angrily.
"Grandpa, why did you take a picture of that snuff bottle just now?"
"That snuff bottle is worth at most 800,000 yuan. If you buy it for 1 million yuan, that gangster Xu Minghao will still laugh at you for being stupid."
"If they declare it out and say that you made a mistake and made a loss, people in the circle will doubt the current strength of our Shen family."
Although Shen Lulu said these words to Shen Beichen, she was complaining about Chen Ping in her heart.
After all, Chen Ping saved her grandfather's life, so it was hard for her to tell him directly to his face.
"Girl, isn't it just a loss of two hundred thousand?"
"It's not like our Shen family can't afford to lose."
"As for reputation, it's all vanity. They can say whatever they like."
Shen Beichen knew that her granddaughter said these words mainly because she complained that Chen Ping, a layman who did not understand antiques, insisted on asking her grandfather to spend one million to buy the snuff bottle.
So, of course he had to say that.
Tang Bei had seen Chen Ping's treatment methods.
The day before yesterday, Bai Nankang's whole body was eaten by insects, and his life was hanging by a thread. He only had one breath left.
After Chen Ping's massage treatment, my condition improved quickly.
Last night, Chen Ping helped Shen Beichen detoxify, massaged acupoints for a while, drank medicinal powder, and took pills.
All the toxins in the body were eliminated.
Therefore, he believed in Chen Ping's ability.
Not only is he highly skilled in medicine, but he may also be unique in identifying antiques or something.
So, he said: "Brother Chen, is the snuff bottle you just photographed an orphan?"
Before Shen Beichen could answer, Shen Lulu immediately said: "Uncle Tang, that snuff bottle cannot be an orphan."
"To reach the level of a unique item, the snuff bottle must not only be made with meticulous workmanship and lifelike painting, but must also be the work of a famous artist."
"Although the painting inside this snuff bottle was a copy of "Tide Viewing in Qiantang" by Song Dynasty painter Li Song, the person who copied it did not leave a name at all."
"Obviously he is not a famous person. Even if he copies it more vividly, it still cannot reach the level of an orphan."
Shen Lulu still has a relatively deep research on snuff bottles.
Tang Bei didn't argue anymore when she said this.
At this time, Chen Ping asked: "Miss Lulu, have you ever heard of a viewing pot?"
Viewing pot?
Not to mention that Shen Lulu has never heard of it, even Shen Beichen, who is known as the leading antique connoisseur in Huai County, has never heard of it.
Shen Lulu shook her head, "Dr. Chen, we have been in the antique industry for so many years, but we have never heard of any other viewing pots."
Shen Beichen asked: "This is the first time I have heard of a viewing bottle. Where did Dr. Chen learn that there are such snuff bottles as a viewing bottle in the world?"
Chen Ping thought for a while and said: "The viewing bottle is actually a snuff bottle made by Wang Yuanqi, a great calligrapher in the early Qing Dynasty, who copied the painting "Qiantang Tide Viewing" with his own hands."
"Later, it was called a viewing pot."
"Wang Yuanqi was one of the six great masters of the early Qing Dynasty. He was famous for copying famous paintings in his paintings and calligraphy. The paintings he copied have his own strong style, and the paintings are lifelike, with natural shades of brush and ink."
"The most important thing is that the paintings he copied will have his own marks hidden somewhere in the paintings."
"As for the "Tide Viewing in Qiantang" in the snuff bottle in Mr. Shen's hand, on the rock in the middle of the painting, there are five words "Wang Yuanqi copied" written in traditional Chinese."
After Chen Ping finished speaking, the three of them were surprised.
But think about it carefully, how could such a small miniature painting have writing on the rocks in the painting?
So, Shen Lulu retorted: "Dr. Chen, the story you just told is indeed lifelike."
"But think about it, it is already very difficult to imitate a famous painting in such a small snuff bottle."
"You also have to write the artist's name on the rock in the painting. Even today's technology cannot do it, let alone the early Qing Dynasty more than 400 years ago."
"Therefore, there is no possibility of writing the artist's name on the inner painting of this snuff bottle."
Shen Lulu didn't believe what Chen Ping said at all.
Chen Ping didn't say anything anymore. After all, these were the information that came out of his mind and sensed.
He could not provide any evidence that the five words "Wang Yuanqi copied" were really left on the rock in the painting.
Shen Beichen smiled and said, "Dr. Chen, if there is such a snuff bottle in the world, it would be the best of the best."
"One is worth at least 50 million, or more."
Shen Lulu then said: "Doctor Chen, if you can really find such a snuff bottle, I, Shen Lulu, will be willing to do anything for you."
Shen Lulu's words suddenly reminded Chen Ping of what Zhao Yuanyuan said back then.
Zhao Yuanyuan said that if Chen Ping could cure her mother, she would be willing to do whatever he wanted.
Now Shen Lulu also means the same thing.
In fact, Shen Lulu has a very good figure, not only has fair skin, but also a plump figure.
And as she walked, the entire S-shaped curve kept swaying up and down. You could also smell a woman's unique fragrance on her body.
A normal man would be moved by this.
Just now, at the auction site, Chen Ping smelled the charming fragrance emanating from Shen Lulu's body and was inexplicably moved. His heart beat faster and his breathing became short.
At this moment, after Shen Lulu's words, he thought about asking this woman to do something unspeakable for him in the future.
However, these evil thoughts only passed by in a flash.
Chen Ping smiled and said no more.
At this time, it was almost half past two in the morning.
Chen Ping wanted to go back, but it was too late.
Shen Beichen arranged a guest room for Chen Ping and asked him to stay here for one night before sending him back tomorrow.
the next morning.
Bai Feng received a phone call.
"What?"
"You want to redeem that snuff bottle?"
"Tell you, I sold it long ago last night."
The call was from Bai Lang, and now he was anxious.
"Brother Bai Feng, I'll pay ten times the price to redeem it, is it okay?"
"This snuff bottle belongs to my teacher."
"Now, my teacher is asking me if I want to go back. Do you think you can contact the buyer?"
Bai Feng sneered, "Haha, if you want to buy it back for 50,000 yuan, how is that possible?"
"To tell you the truth, the snuff bottle we sold last night was auctioned for one million."
"Unless you take 1.5 million, I can't talk to the other party."
Bai Lang sighed, "Hey, I'll ask my master first and I'll answer you later."
A few minutes later, Bai Lang called again and said he was willing to pay 1.5 million to redeem the snuff bottle.
This time, Bai Feng was puzzled.
Isn't that snuff bottle an imitation?
Is this guy White Wolf an idiot?
It has only been three days since I sold it to him for 5,000 yuan. Now I want to redeem it for 1.5 million yuan. There is something wrong with my brain.
Actually, he doesn't know.
Originally, Bai Lang and his master, Old Frog, paid 300 yuan to collect this snuff bottle in a remote countryside.
After returning, they studied it carefully.
Although this snuff bottle is beautiful in shape and fine in workmanship, especially the "Tide Viewing at Qiantang" painted inside the snuff bottle is simply lifelike.
Unfortunately, this kind of snuff bottle was not made by a famous artist and is not worth much.
Bai Lang was good at imitating ancient snuff bottles, so Old Frog asked him to take them back and copy them.
Three days ago, Bai Feng asked someone to buy an exquisite imitation snuff bottle.
This boy mistakenly sold the coin that Old Frog asked him to bring back for five thousand yuan.
Just now, his master called to say that the photo of the snuff bottle he took a few days ago was sent via email to one of the top snuff bottle collectors in the country.
After careful identification, people said that the snuff bottle was a unique viewing bottle handed down from generation to generation, worth at least 100 million.
Now Bai Lang was anxious and immediately called Bai Feng to redeem it.
This is worth 100 million. Even if it costs 1.5 million to redeem it, it is still worth it.
At ten o'clock in the afternoon, Bai Feng called Shen Beichen.
"Mr. Shen, I am Bai Feng."
"Hey, Boss Bai, what do you want from me?"
"Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just the snuff bottle we bought last night. We found out today and the market price is only about 600,000."
"No, you spent a million to buy it last night."
"We feel a little uneasy here. If you are willing, you can return the things and we will give you one million back."
"What do you think?"
Now, Shen Beichen felt puzzled.
Bai Feng and Hei Feng, both of them are making money with evil intentions.
The sun is rising from the west today. Could it be that the robber has a kind heart?
Absolutely impossible.
There must be something wrong here.
So, he made an excuse and said, "Boss Bai, I'm sorry."
"The snuff bottle we took last night is now in the hands of my granddaughter. The child went out early in the morning."
"I'll call her later and discuss it with her, and then I'll give you an answer."
"Well, Mr. Shen, please hurry up and let you do a loss-making business. I don't feel at ease at all. I hope this matter will be dealt with as soon as possible."
"no problem."
After talking to Bai Feng on the phone, Shen Beichen called his granddaughter Shen Lulu.
"Lulu, call Dr. Chen and Uncle Tang and meet in the living room upstairs in half an hour. Your grandfather has something very important to discuss with them."
"I know, Grandpa."
After Shen Beichen finished talking to his granddaughter on the phone, he contacted an old friend of his.
"Mr. Kong, there is something I want to trouble you with."
"I have an inner painting on a snuff bottle. I would like your help to enlarge it for identification and send me an enlarged picture of the inner painting."
An old man named Kong Lao is an expert in identifying miniature antiquities in China.
"Mr. Shen, you use a laser scanner to scan the inner painting and send it to me. I will help you decode and identify it. After twenty minutes, I will send you a detailed enlarged picture of the inner painting."
