Qiu Mingshan's expression became serious, and he could probably guess what Yang Xie was thinking.

"It's a straight bottle, made around the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, with a picture of fish playing with lotus painted on it." Qiu Mingshan took a puff of cigarette. He studied the porcelain for a long time and finally thought it was fake. As a result, his friend sold it at a low price.

The losses were heavy.

"Uncle Qiu, it is normal for antiques to be pierced. In fact, you don't have to worry about it. You helped your friend to appraise it and didn't charge any fees. In this case, how can you be responsible for this?"

"That's true, but after all...sigh." Qiu Mingshan sighed. Admittedly, what Yang Xie said was correct, but he always felt that he owed his friend. If it weren't for him, his friend would definitely not sell it.

"I wonder who Uncle Qiu's friend sold the straight bottle to? Can I take a look?"

This was Yang Xie's fundamental purpose. He always felt that it all happened too coincidental, as if someone had spread out a net and was waiting for Qiu Mingshan to fall in. Someone behind Han Dacheng was instigating it, and Qiu Mingshan's friend

Is it possible that there is someone behind the scenes?

If someone did instigate it, who could it be?

"It was sold to Boss Tian from Gu Hongzhai." Qiu Mingshan said without thinking, "But Boss Tian is extremely snobbish. It's difficult to borrow it from him."

Yang Xie smiled, but he had some calculations in his heart. After thinking about it, he said, "Uncle Qiu, are you free in the evening? Why don't I introduce a buyer for your painting, and then we can go to Guhongzhai to take a look at the straight bottle?"

?”

"Ah?" Qiu Mingshan was a little dazed. Is what Yang Xie said true? Is that painting really worth a million?

Yang Xie immediately laughed. He had Cai Yifu's phone number and dialed it directly. Cai Yifu's voice suddenly came from the other end of the phone: "Hello, who is this?"

"Boss Cai, I am Yang Xie."

Yang Xie paused and gave Cai Yifu a little time to buffer. After all, he is the big boss, how could he remember a little person like himself? Unexpectedly, Cai Yifu immediately laughed and said: "Little brother, I heard it, I received your call

I'm very happy, is there any treasure again?"

Yang Xie sweated a little. Rich people are really nothing. Buying antiques is like buying cabbage. As long as it is available or not, it doesn't matter how much you spend.

"There are no treasures, but there is an authentic painting by Huang Gongwang. Is Boss Cai interested?"

Cai Yifu immediately became interested and asked where Yang Xie was, saying that he would come over and take a look right away.

Boss Cai was really impatient. Yang Xie smiled and gave him his address. After hanging up the phone, Yang Xie touched his nose and said with a bitter smile: "Uncle Qiu, I'm afraid there will be a lot of freeloaders in a while."

.”

Qiu Mingshan shook his head. If he really came to buy paintings, let alone a casual meal, it would be enough to set up a table in Shangri-La. But Yang Xie was so bold that he directly said it was genuine.

, he just glanced at it casually. If it is found to be a fake later, he will be embarrassed...

"Here comes the food." Qiu Jingwen and Huo Shanshan brought the food out and set it on a full table. With a smile on her face, Huo Shanshan said to Yang Xie, "You can eat it. We don't have much food at home, so just eat something."

Yang Xie looked at the dishes on this table. If this can be called nothing, what should the four dishes and one soup he makes every time be called?

Qiu Mingshan himself was talkative, and he was grateful to Yang Xie. In addition, Huo Shanshan would interject from time to time, so the meal was quite harmonious. When the food was removed and Qiu Jingwen drank a pot of fragrant tea, there was a sign at the door.

There was a knock on the door. Qiu Jingwen ran to open the door. When she saw two old men in their fifties and sixties, she suddenly became confused: "Who are you looking for?"

"Is Yang Xie in there?" Cai Yifu was a little anxious. The items Yang Xie sold to him last time were very good. This time there were works by Huang Gongwang, which made him unable to wait for a moment, so

He turned down several appointments and rushed here directly.

"Boss Cai, I'm inside."

Yang Xie made a sound, and Qiu Jingwen quickly moved aside to let Cai Yifu in. After all, these two were elders, and they didn't look like ordinary people.

Cai Yifu had just taken two steps when his eyes suddenly lit up and he studied the painting on the wall seriously. The man next to him also looked the same.

Yang Xie walked over with a smile on his face. Huang Gongwang was a famous painter in the Yuan Dynasty. He was good at landscape painting. Although I had never heard of the painting in front of him, his brushwork was quite good, vigorous, powerful, round and unrestrained, with outlines and dots.

During this time, he showed a kind of leisure and ease.

Seeing Cai Yifu turning his head in amazement, Yang Xie smiled and said: "Boss Cai, how about it?"

“Great painting!”

Cai Yifu was full of praise. According to his observation, this painting should be authentic and perfectly preserved. The most important thing is that no one knows that Huang Gongwang painted such a painting. I am afraid Cai Yifu can only go back and search ancient books.

, see if I can find some evidence.

Cai Yifu turned around. His personal connoisseur was taking out some professional instruments and inspecting the painting. Seeing Cai Yifu looking over, he nodded.

Cai Yifu said with a smile: "Little brother, it's amazing. You can find Huang Gongwang's real signature just by eating."

Yang Xie immediately laughed. Cai Yifu probably guessed it from the fact that this painting was hung as a decoration in the living room. After all, if Qiu Mingshan knew that it was an authentic work and it was too late to protect it, how could he dare to hang it on the wall?

What should I do if I get wet? What should I do if I am scratched by a cat?

Cai Yifu was rich and was very optimistic about Yang Xie, so after the appraiser next to him gave a positive answer, he hesitated and said: "Little brother, I won't hide it from you, Huang Gongwang's works are very popular.

They range from a few million to tens of millions, but this painting "Rain Beating Plantains" is not in the list of Huang Gongwang's works known today, so I don't dare to raise the price too high."

Yang Xie pointed at Qiu Mingshan with a smile, blinked, and said: "Boss Cai, this is Mr. Qiu Mingshan. He bought this painting from a street stall for 500 yuan, so you can just make an offer.

I believe that with your great name, it is impossible for you to treat Mr. Qiu badly, right?"

"You ancient spirit."

Cai Yifu stretched out his hand and gave Yang Xie a few nods. He had a very good impression of Yang Xie, and Yang Xie knew Su Muxi. Naturally, Cai Yifu could not have wronged his friend. After a slight hesitation, Cai Yifu said:

"Just five million. Although the price may skyrocket in the future, I also have a certain risk."

Qiu Mingshan was pushed by Yang Xie, and then he realized what he was doing. He quickly reached out his hand and shook it with Cai Yifu, saying: "Deal!"

Although he has seen the world, this is a deal? Five million?

Yifu Cai asked Qiu Mingshan for his bank card number. When the remittance text message entered Qiu Mingshan's mobile phone, Qiu Mingshan realized that all this was true...

Cai Yifu asked the connoisseur to put the painting away, then shook hands with Qiu Mingshan again and said with a smile: "Happy cooperation!"

"It's a pleasure to cooperate." Qiu Mingshan couldn't help but be speechless. Rich people buying antiques are actually similar to ordinary people buying cabbage, right?

Yang Xie asked Cai Yifu to sit down, poured him a cup of tea, and said: "Boss Cai, actually I came here this time to ask Boss Cai for a favor."

"What help? I will definitely help if I can."

In fact, people of Cai Yifu's level will pay special attention to what they say and will never speak randomly or make any promises. Since Cai Yifu said so, he will definitely do it. This face is not a big deal.

.

"I heard that Gu Hongzhai recently got a straight-cylinder bottle from the late Ming Dynasty, and I'm a little interested in it. However, I have some beef with Boss Tian, ​​so I asked Boss Cai to come with me..."
