Chapter 304: Appraisal
In the morning, Zhu Muyun was in the second place and saw the property found from Jia Xiaotian's house. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info looked at the two large boxes full of property, and Zhu Muyun was also secretly frightened. These two boxes of belongings have been classified. One of the boxes was gold and silver dollars, which was real gold and silver, and there was nothing to say.
The other box is antique calligraphy and painting. Zhu Muyun also received some antique calligraphy and paintings, but in terms of quantity and quality, they were far inferior to Jia Xiaotian. When Jia Xiaotian was the deputy director of the Economic Division, he could compete with Li Bangfan, and the third and fourth departments became his private property. It is impossible for the merchants of Gu Xing to take goods from under him without paying a price.
And Jia Xiaotian has reached the point where he will do everything in order to collect money. As long as he is given enough benefits, no matter what the goods, he dares to let them go.
It's just that Jia Xiaotian is not good at business, and he has no other financial resources except for accepting bribes. Otherwise, his property would be at least ten times more than Zhu Muyun's.
Zhu Muyun still understands gold bars and silver dollars. As long as you pinch it with your hands, you can basically judge the authenticity. But for antique calligraphy and painting, Zhu Muyun's eyesight can't keep up. This kind of thing, even if it is an insider, he often looks away, Zhu Muyun has not even entered the line, and it is normal to be inaccurate.
"Duanmu Zhenzuo, is there anyone who understands antique calligraphy and painting?" Zhu Muyun called Duanmu Zhenzuo, antiques and antiques, aren't they ancient things. Only those who have nothing to do and have a lot of money will study these things in such a world.
"What, you have something good?" Duanmu Zhen asked, he was not very interested in antique calligraphy and painting, but his father was quite interested in it.
"What a good thing, it's someone else's, I want to see how much it can be worth." Zhu Muyun said.
"If you are looking for someone to look at, it is best to find a pawnshop worshipper. Gu Deming's family has a pawnshop, and it also collects things in this regard. You wait, I'll ask him to send someone to show you. Duanmu Zhenzuo said that when Gu Deming was arrested in Liushuizhou, Zhu Muyun also contributed. Besides, with Zhu Muyun's current status, don't talk about Gu Deming, even Gu Chuanru will scold him.
Soon, Gu Deming personally brought a thin old man to find Zhu Muyun. Not everyone can enter the second place, Zhu Muyun asked Watson to move those so-called antiques, calligraphy and paintings to his own office on the dock. Since the second office came here, only the dock is Zhu Muyun's private space.
"Mu Yun, you let him watch it here, and I guarantee that he won't make a mistake." Gu Deming's attitude towards Zhu Muyun has undergone earth-shaking changes. Originally, he had long wanted to meet Zhu Muyun, but he never found the opportunity. received a call from Duanmu Zhensaku, he didn't say a word, and immediately rushed over with someone.
The Gu family runs a pawnshop, and Gu Deming, a young owner, personally took the court to see things, so he naturally looked at it very carefully. That courtier, who has been in contact with these things for a long time, although he may not be too famous in the collecting world, but a pair of eyes have long been practiced.
"Director Zhu, I have given an estimate of these things, everything. If the old eyes are dizzy, I hope Director Zhu can forgive him. "The court was dressed in a gray robe, a pair of small glasses, and a magnifying glass in his hand.
A box of antique calligraphy and paintings, he identified very quickly. As a courtier in charge, he can't hold things and appreciate them carefully like those players. He is in business, and he pays attention to speed and efficiency. Moreover, the price he gave was also low. Whoever runs a pawnshop, no matter how good it is, in his eyes, is also a rag bitten by mosquitoes and rats.
"Is this fiat currency or silver dollars?" Zhu Muyun asked, he had to ask clearly, otherwise like Qi Shengquan, he would almost make a joke.
"That's the price of a silver dollar." Chaofeng said that the value of fiat currency is extremely unstable, although the government does not allow the use of silver dollars to trade, but their prices are all in silver dollars, and when settlement, they are converted into fiat currency.
"From a few hundred to a few thousand, the price of these calligraphy and paintings is not cheap." Zhu Muyun looked at it, this courtier was also very careful in his work, and he gave an estimate for everything. For some calligraphy and paintings, the price given is quite low, only a few yuan, or even a few dimes. Obviously, that's what is called a fake.
"That's just the price of our pawnshop collateral, and if we trade it with collectors, the price may go up." Chao Feng said.
"The price difference between the real and the fake is too big." Zhu Muyun has also seen those antique calligraphy and paintings. To be honest, it was hard for him to see the authenticity. There were a few calligraphy and paintings, which he thought were fake, but the court offered a high price. And there are a few calligraphy and paintings, which are obviously very similar to the real thing, but the price is surprisingly cheap.
"That's why some people like fakes, and nowadays, in order to counterfeit, they will do anything to make them." Chaobong sighed and said that since the day when someone began to like collecting, someone has studied how to make a fake.
"Sir, if I want to find someone to make a fake, how long will it take?" Zhu Muyun suddenly said that since others can send fakes to Jia Xiaotian, he can also steal beams and change pillars and exchange these authentic works for fakes.
The less wealth Jia Xiaotian has, the lighter his guilt will be. If Jia Xiaotian's property is only those gold bars and silver dollars now, maybe his deputy director can still keep it.
"This ......" The old gentleman glanced at Gu Deming, and seemed a little embarrassed.
"It doesn't matter, Mu Yun is not an outsider, he can say whatever he wants." Gu Deming said that it was rare for him to sit down and chat with Zhu Muyun alone, if he could help Zhu Muyun, the relationship between the two would be close immediately.
"Theoretically, anything can be faked, but it takes time and cost. Some calligraphy and paintings, after being forged, may cost more than the actual price. Of course, the vast majority of calligraphy and painting imitations are relatively cheap. The old gentleman said.
"Gu Deming, I want to ask you something. This box of antique calligraphy and paintings, I want to exchange all the real ones, I have to work hard for your help, hurry up and find all the fakes. Zhu Muyun said that this batch of property will be sent to the Finance Bureau immediately. In the meantime, if he can forge the authentic work, he will be in vain.
"You have a lot of things here, I'm afraid it will take a while to find them all." Gu Deming said in a deep groan, if some calligraphy and paintings are to be forged, it will take days or even months. If you want to do it now, you need to be proficient in this area.
"It doesn't matter, I have only one request, I don't want to distinguish between truth and falsehood, as long as the time is fast. Even if it's rough, it doesn't matter. Zhu Muyun said that anyway, what the city receives is only what is on the list. As for the authenticity of antique calligraphy and paintings, there is no word on the list. For example, a pair of jade bracelets, it is not written what kind and what color, the upper grade and the lower grade, the price difference is too far.
If it is a top grade, Zhu Muyun can be replaced with a lower grade. Jia Xiaotian's things were not photographed, and the authenticity was not verified on the spot. Even if Zhu Muyun replaced all the antiques, calligraphy and paintings with printed ones, the people from the Finance Bureau couldn't say anything.
"What's the point of being too rough for people to see through at a glance?" Gu Deming said that it was really difficult for him to understand that Zhu Muyun could be regarded as coming out of a Japanese language school, how could he say such a non-level thing.
"Because this is related to a case, this batch of antique calligraphy and paintings is the items involved in the case. If their value is very high, the crime of the person involved is great. If they are all fakes, they can help the people involved. Zhu Muyun said with a smile.
"I see." Gu Deming suddenly realized, no wonder Zhu Muyun asked for such a tight time, it turned out to be to save people.
Gu Deming brought a tribute to the court, and brought a list back. As long as you follow the things on the list, you can provide a batch of antique calligraphy and paintings, as for the authenticity, I don't care at all. This kind of thing, as long as the road is wide, can be done quickly. In fact, Gu Deming did not boast. It only took him two days, and he was pretty much done.
After Zhu Muyun left, he immediately went to the Songhe Tower of the Fourth Division. At noon today, Jia Xiaotian asked him to have dinner here. Zhu Muyun didn't know Jia Xiaotian's intentions. He only knew one thing, Jia Xiaotian was now starting to have new ideas again.
At noon today, although Jia Xiaotian also drank a lot of wine, he obviously controlled it, after all, Zhu Muyun didn't drink much, so he didn't get drunk until the end. Jia Xiaotian confessed to Zhu Muyun that he had already expressed his attitude to Li Bangfan, and in the future, he and Zhu Muyun would be "family".
In this regard, Zhu Muyun did not express his opinion. In his opinion, Jia Xiaotian at this time could not be regarded as Li Bangfan's person. Only after Jia Xiaotian came to power, he could resolutely implement Li Bangfan's instructions, perhaps, Jia Xiaotian could be regarded as half of Li Bangfan's person.
Because Zhu Muyun saw Jia Xiaotian's belongings today, most of the topics of the two were above. Jia Xiaotian's face was regretful, even if he showed his attitude to Li Bangfan again, there was no way to register the things that were registered. Whether it was Zhu Muyun or Jiang Tianming, they didn't dare to boast that they could help him solve this problem.
"It's a pity, I've got a lot of good stuff." Jia Xiaotian sighed and said that although he had not read any books, he had a certain attainment in antique calligraphy and painting. Otherwise, others will not do what they like and send him a large number of antique calligraphy and paintings.
Those merchants are as good as ghosts. At that time, it was all under the banner of asking Jia Xiaotian to help them palm, which was actually sending things. Fortunately, Jia Xiaotian is still the section chief of the Investigation Section. If he doesn't have this identity, someone will soon come to his house to collect debts.
"What's good, do you want me to help you stay?" Zhu Muyun suddenly said that he had already remembered that if he wanted to satisfy Jiang Tianming, he must set aside a considerable part of Jia Xiaotian's property.
