Chapter 129 Mr. Qin is here!
Listening to the congratulations from the people around him, Cai Yan gave a rare courtesy and said: "Thank you for your support. Our museum will hold a porcelain exhibition soon, and you are welcome to visit then."
For a time, the atmosphere was pleasant.
Lin Ran smiled and left the crowd with Yang Jianlong.
After exiting the crowd, Yang Jianlong quickly asked: "Godfather, are those batches of Tang Sancai fakes fake?"
Lin Ran had no intention of hiding anything from Yang Jianlong, "Yes, they are all fakes."
If I was not sure before.
But after knowing the identity of Wei Chengbin, it can be said that it is 100% confirmed!
Yang Jianlong was surprised: "Did my father-in-law buy it too?"
"Yes." Lin Ran nodded.
In fact, Cai Yan was even worse than Zheng Xueming.
I bought so many fakes for the National Palace Museum...
Lin Ran suddenly remembered that the staff of the National Palace Museum he knew did not have a character like Cai Yan.
It is normal to make mistakes in this industry, and you should not be fired for buying fake goods.
But it is impossible to say that Cai Yan's character will be deeply affected and he will resign.
Out of good intentions, I had reminded him.
The other party relied on his talent and looked down upon him and Wei Chengbin, so he ended up like this. It can only be said that he is to blame!
Lin Ran smiled bitterly and shook his head, deciding to put the matter behind him.
"Godfather, since you're here, why don't you show me some insights?" Yang Jianlong suddenly asked.
"Oh? Are you so eager to learn?" Lin Ran originally planned to leave.
But since Yang Jianlong calls himself godfather and is determined to learn the knowledge of treasure appraisal, he will naturally not shirk it.
Said: "Okay, let's take a look."
Yang Jianlong said to his subordinate Baimao and others: "You go back first, everything is fine here."
"Yes, Brother Long!" Bai Mao and his men greeted Lin Ran and left Panjiayuan.
I took Yang Jianlong to visit a district and found out that he liked jade, so I taught him the skills of looking at the Jade Buddha.
While the two were talking in front of a stall selling jade carvings.
Suddenly I heard shouting from behind.
"What are you running for?"
"It's nothing."
"You don't look like it's nothing?"
"Hey, brother, to tell you the truth, there are genuine Tang Sancai for sale in the East District. I won't tell you, I'll grab them first."
The conversation between passers-by reached Lin Ran's ears.
Tang Sancai?
Lin Ran frowned. No need to think, it must be Wei Chengbin again!
"Jianlong, let's go."
Yang Jianlong was playing with a Jade Buddha, but before he could react, he was pulled up by Lin Ran.
Walking towards the East District, sure enough!
Wei Chengbin still looked extremely calm, with his hands folded in front of his chest.
On the stall in front of him, there is a Tang Sancai pottery statue, and it is the most precious camel statue!
Lin Ran was speechless looking at this guy's confident expression.
Wei Chengbin was a little too greedy. He sold four pieces of Tang Sancai in two days and made a profit of 900 yuan.
It’s no longer a small amount. I’ve only been away for less than four hours, and I’ve actually brought another three-color figurine to sell?
It can be described as audacious!
I don’t know if he is in a hurry to use money to quench his thirst, or if he is confident that no one can find out his flaws?
To be fair, Lin Ran prefers the latter, because Wei Chengbin is a person with an eccentric personality, and geniuses are often unique.
The crowd of onlookers was no longer as lively as it was in the morning.
No matter how stupid they are, they can still see the problem.
It’s not that you can’t take out seven or eight pieces of Tang Sancai at once.
But like Wei Chengbin, he would take one piece at one time, three pieces at another time, and another one at another time.
Obviously unreasonable!
"Where did you get so many Tang Sancai?"
"I started paying attention to him half a month ago and sold more than ten pieces."
"There is definitely something wrong with this grandson!"
The crowd of onlookers chatted quietly.
They still believed it in the morning, but watched Wei Chengbin bring out another one in the afternoon.
They were also confused.
The three-color figurines themselves are tomb objects. Regardless of their value, they are unlucky.
Whose ancestors were so full that they passed on a bunch of dead people's stuff from generation to generation?
Either there's something wrong with the thing, or like Cai Yan said, he dug an unknown group of tombs!
"Has anyone informed Researcher Cai?"
"My nephew has just gone to the National Palace Museum and should come over."
"It's another Tang Sancai. Hey, I really want to know if it's true or false."
The Chaoyang people who were watching also wanted to pick up the leak, but they were afraid.
Mixing genuine and fake items for sale is also a common tactic used by profiteers in the antiques circle.
The main reason is that Tang Sancai is worth a lot of money, so they don't dare to take action rashly.
Unless Researcher Cai approves, even if he loses, it won’t be too unfair!
By coincidence, just as everyone was talking, Cai Yan arrived at Panjiayuan out of breath.
The most important thing is that this time he did not come alone.
There were also three older professors following behind!
"It's Mr. Qin!"
"Mr. Qin is here too! Then it's safe now!"
"May I ask, who is Mr. Qin?"
someone from the crowd asked.
"Mr. Qin is the branch director of the Tang Porcelain Museum of the Palace Museum and an expert in porcelain research! Do you know what a dean is?"
Someone proudly introduced.
The Palace Museum is naturally a holy place for connoisseurs, on par with the National Museum.
As a branch director, how could he not be admired by others?
Hearing this, the onlookers were in an uproar.
Are all the branch directors here?
But it represents the official background!
Even he was startled, and the crowd couldn't help but stop and reluctant to leave.
Lin Ran couldn't help but feel inspired.
"Mr. Qin, Mr. Wu, Mr. Zhao..."
All three of them have been friends with him for many years, and they look so young now.
When Lin Ran saw them at that time, they were all old men sitting in wheelchairs who would gasp for breath after speaking a few words.
Now I can still go to the front line in person.
Lin Ran couldn't help but feel excited, which shocked Yang Jianlong.
"Daddy, do you know them?"
"I don't know." Lin Ran smiled slightly.
Yang Jianlong didn't believe it, but Mr. Qin was okay, after all, someone introduced him.
But few people knew the other two at all.
Yang Jianlong didn't think Lin Ran was shouting randomly!
As expected, my godfather is hiding his secrets!
Cai Yan led Mr. Qin and others to the stall, and the crowd also took the initiative to get out of the way.
Three-color figurines again?
Cai Yan looked at Wei Chengbin suspiciously.
Then he asked with an angry face: "Wei Chengbin, where did you get these Tang Sancai? If they were dug out, you may have discovered an ancient tomb group that has not been excavated. This is a national asset. If you dare If you hide the truth, just wait to step on the sewing machine!”
It's a pity that Wei Chengbin still said the same thing: "It was handed down from our ancestors."
"You!" Cai Yan couldn't help but get angry. What's your attitude?
If anyone believed it, there would be a ghost!
According to the ancestors, is your ancestor Gao Lishi or An Lushan?
Just as Cai Yan was about to speak, Mr. Qin waved his hand to signal him not to speak.
Mr. Qin walked to the stall and looked at Wei Chengbin with a smile.
"Hello, Boss Wei, I am Qin Lang from the Palace Museum and the curator of the Tang Porcelain Museum. Can I see this thing?"
Even though he has a high status, Mr. Qin still looks like a humble, courteous and virtuous corporal. He can be said to be on par with Cai Yan!
Facing Mr. Qin, Wei Chengbin's attitude softened a little.
He stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation: "Please feel free to take a look."
"Thank you." Mr. Qin was not polite and squatted down.
He took out a magnifying glass from his trouser pocket and began to look carefully at the camel figurines on the red cloth.
Everyone held their breath.
Lin Ran was no exception.
He also wanted to know whether Mr. Qin, as an expert on Tang Dynasty porcelain, could see through Wei Chengbin's counterfeiting methods.
It is unknown whether the scene in front of me has ever happened in history.
Lin Ran didn't know the final result either.
But he knew that this was definitely a duel that would go down in history!
