Chapter 111 Mr. Xu Gaoyi
After sending Jin and Wen to the station.
Li Cunxi, led by Wu Lei, came to Fuchang Sitiao Hutong.
"Isn't this the place where that boy set up his stall?"
"Yes, it's his house too. This guy sets up a stall in front of his house."
Wu Lei pushed open the courtyard door and saw an old man taking a nap in a rocking chair.
"Is it him?"
Li Cunxi asked.
Wu Lei nodded and said: "His name is Xu Liancheng. He has a good background. It is said that he is a professor at a certain university. He knows several foreign languages and has a very weird temper. He does not live in the tube building assigned by the university and lives in this small courtyard."
"It's really weird."
Li Cunxi observed the surrounding environment. There were seven rooms in the yard, six of which were locked and the windows were sealed. They were obviously uninhabited for a long time.
If he guessed correctly, the whole courtyard was filled with Mr. Xu.
Besides, Mr. Xu himself, a university professor, has a salary of 100+, has status, and has no worries about food and drink. Why should he take certain risks and make these fake antiques?Is it possible that this thing has a chance to win?
Xu Liancheng also spotted Li Cunxi and asked, "Who are you?"
Li Cunxi walked forward and said in a humble tone: "Hello, Professor Xu, I am Wang Xunhuan's friend."
"I don't know you, let's go."
Xu Liancheng disagreed and began to drive away the guests.
Li Cunxi did not leave, but took the stool from Wu Lei and sat down.
Xu Liancheng frowned: "If you don't leave, I will call the police."
Li Cunxi didn't seem to hear, and said to himself: "I have appraised the porcelain you made. It is lifelike, but there are some shortcomings. First of all, the bottom of the tire is too sloppy. As for repairing knife marks, the ancients used bamboo knives to repair the lower parts." , the marks left are in the shape of filaments, you must have used a saw blade, so those antique tire soles are in the shape of thick lines, which look fake at first glance.”
Xu Liancheng sat up suddenly and said in a deep voice: "Continue talking."
"Next chat."
Li Cunxi stood up leisurely.
I have negotiated a lot in my past life, and I have learned some tips. For example, when negotiating with a paranoid person, don't talk about your own demands, but talk about things that interest him, and let others talk to you.
Mr. Xu loves to make antiques, so he is right to talk about the flaws in fakes.
Sure enough, Xu Liancheng reached out to grab Li Cunxi and asked directly: "Little baby, don't play hard to get with the old man. Tell me what you want the old man to do before he is willing to teach me how to perfect those fakes."
"Help me create a batch of fakes." Li Cunxi also directly stated his purpose.
Xu Liancheng let go of Li Cunxi and asked, "What are you using it for?"
"There is a foreign minister who has won a batch of antiques. I am going to make a batch of fakes and make a lot of money from them."
Li Cunxi then made nonsense.
Since Wang Xunhuan specializes in tricking foreigners at the night market, it proves that Mr. Xu has a bad impression of foreigners, and this lie is considered to be true.
Xu Liancheng rarely smiled: "Okay, now it's your turn to talk about the shortcomings of the fake."
Li Cunxi sat down again and said softly: "Actually, your glaze imitation is very good. With today's eyesight, it is difficult to detect the clues, but the base is a bit rough, so I will give you some identification knowledge of low tire. "
"please say."
Xu Liancheng sat upright, like a student who humbly asked for advice.
Li Cunxi also knows everything and talks about everything.
Of course.
He only talked about identification methods. As for how to improve and find ways to avoid them, he was helpless. After all, he had some knowledge of counterfeiting in his previous life. He was not interested in and did not need to know the specific craftsmanship.
Xu Liancheng wrote hard, transcribed all the key points, and asked some targeted questions.
Li Cunxi knew everything and talked about the rise. He also talked about several methods of fraud that would arise in the future.
For example, reglazing an old tire, replacing the bottom of an old tire, and repairing old porcelain are of course just an idea for the old man. The specific operation still needs to be explored by the old man himself.
Even so, Xu Liancheng felt like he had found a treasure. After recording it, he looked at Li Cunxi with a grateful expression, "Haha, Mr. Li is knowledgeable and the old man has benefited a lot. I will do my best for the things you asked me to do."
"Then trouble Teacher Xu."
Li Cunxi replied with a smile, then hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "Professor Xu, can you tell me why you started the business of counterfeiting?"
In the early 80s, the antiques industry had not yet emerged, and people in the market generally had no discernment. They really wanted to pass off the quality as inferior, so they just bought some porcelain that had not yet been stamped with the official kiln stamp, and few people would recognize it, so there was no need to do so. Making high imitations is such a thankless task.
Xu Liancheng fell silent.
Upon seeing this, Li Cunxi hurriedly went back to make amends: "Professor Xu, if this question offended you, I apologize to you here, but please don't take it to heart."
Xu Liancheng waved his hand, got up from the rocking chair, and walked towards the locked room: "If you want to know the answer, just follow me."
"Wu Lei, go and guard the courtyard gate."
Li Cunxi gave instructions and followed Xu Liancheng into the house.
Since the windows in the room were sealed, there was no light, and the entire room was dark.
pat.
Xu Liancheng turned on the light.
The room suddenly became bright.
Linliang's porcelain was filled with porcelain in the room, which was not considered spacious.
Li Cunxi picked up a pottery pot and saw that the shape of the pot looked like green glazed pottery from the Han Dynasty. After taking a closer look, he found that it was actually the real thing.
Xu Liancheng walked over and made a circle with his hand: "This piece was packed from a dealer. It should have been collected from some tomb robber. Unfortunately, I went too late and someone else bought a lot." , including some foreign devils."
"So, this house is full of genuine items."
Li Cunxi scanned around and found two special items in the east and west of the house. One was old enough, mostly antiquities from before the Ming Dynasty, and the other was large and exquisite. Some porcelains from the Ming and Qing dynasties were rare in shape and could definitely go to museums. The highlight of the exhibition.
"Old man, these are all national treasures."
He carefully put down the clay pot.
In fact, antiques before the Yuan Dynasty were not allowed to be traded privately even in the 80s. However, now that the Dragon Kingdom is vigorously developing its economy, there is no time to pay attention to some details.
Xu Liancheng seemed to have obsessive-compulsive disorder. He squatted down to straighten the clay pot and said softly: "You are right, these are national treasures, cultural heritage left by our ancestors to future generations, and witnesses to the entire history of the Dragon Kingdom. , they should not live overseas, but my own strength is limited, so I can only do my best to save some losses for the country."
Li Cunxi suddenly said: "So you faked it to make money to buy national treasures and prevent them from living overseas?"
With the opening up of foreign trade, smuggling activities increased, and the smuggling of antiques also emerged in the 80s. The amount of cultural relics lost overseas was outrageous. One of the most intuitive data is that after the 80s, Xiangjiang relied on antiques smuggled from the mainland. It quickly became the third largest art center in the world.
"That's right. When the day comes when the authorities take control of the antiques, I will donate them all."
Xu Liancheng looked at the antiques in the house and felt an inexplicable sense of mission in his heart.
"Mr. Xu is so righteous, I admire him."
Li Cunxi bowed slightly and said sincerely.
There is a saying that goes well, there is always one or two winds in the world that can fill my dreams. It is these people with faith who patched up some minor loopholes during the rapid development of the Dragon Kingdom, and the Dragon Kingdom was able to revive.
