C48 A Sticker
"Song! Don't keep me guessing, I'm dying of anxiety. " Sixth Master was getting really anxious. The more Hao Chuan talked about it, the more scared he became.
"Sixth Master, have you heard of stickers?" Hao Chuan looked at Sixth Master and said.
"stickers?" Sixth Master shook his head repeatedly, "Impossible, impossible. If I can't see the fake sticker... I've been in the ancient circle for so many years."
The so-called sticker is to split the painting in two from the middle into two pieces and split them into two pieces. This kind of paper that is split into two pieces must be Xuan paper, and it must be a piece of paper with two pieces of paper stuck together. If it was another piece of paper, there was a fibrous part in the middle of the paper, and no matter what, it would not be able to be opened.
Even if the calligraphy and painting happened to be a piece of Xuan paper, it would still be opened. This could not even be considered to have completed the pasting process. The counterfeiters also had to find a piece of paper that looked like it had been there for a long time, and then put the unveiled piece of paper back on another piece of paper. This was only the first step.
The ancient people's power of painting was through the paper, so it was definitely not empty talk. After the calligraphy and painting were separated into two pieces, the brush and ink on the second layer were abnormally clear, but the details had already been completely lost. As for the first layer, it lost most of the ink on the second layer, and many parts became abnormally thin.
So the second procedure was to fill in the ink. In order to find the exact same paint as the brush and ink, he had to fill in the missing parts of the painting, one stroke at a time. This process was the key to success and failure. It was best to find a skilled painter. Only then would he not lose the ancient brush strokes and restore the original appearance to the greatest extent.
After completing this process, it was time to re-carve the seal. Then, the two paintings behind the sticker would be illuminated under ultraviolet light. According to the era, the degree of exposure would be different. This process was also very crucial, because only the parts that could be illuminated could be filled in, and not the original parts.
With this process, it would take at least half a year to complete. Of course, the profit from doing this was also quite considerable, almost doubling. However, this kind of technology required a very high demand for technology, and no one could do it without any flaws.
"Damn it, what kind of immoral guy, to actually dare to destroy an ancient masterpiece like this?" Mr. Soong slammed the table, "Burning Qin Boiling Crane, burning Qin Boiling Crane!"
Mr. Soong actually started to curse. Hao Chuan glanced at Soong Lin and saw that he also revealed a strange expression, as if he didn't expect these two paintings to be made out of stickers.
Sixth Master couldn't help but shake his head and said, "So, this is really true."
"Sixth Master, I'm sorry." Hao Chuan apologized. Even if he had the Eye of Treasure Inspection, there were times when he misjudged, "If I hadn't seen this painting, I wouldn't have thought that these two paintings were made from stickers."
"Sixth Master, grandpa, don't be so upset." Soong Lin stood up. "Such high-end stickers are unheard of. Maybe both paintings are real!"
"What do you mean?" Sixth Master looked at Soong Lin. He had never had a good impression of Mr. Soong.
"Maybe both paintings were drawn by Master Tang!" Soong Lin said without changing his expression.
"Shut up." Mr. Soong scolded, "To think you could say that. Who would believe such words?" He sighed, "I want to know who sent this painting here. I want to see this kind of beast who destroys our ancestors' treasures. "
Soong Lin's face was full of respect, and he didn't dare to say anything else. "Grandfather, don't be angry. I'll go and investigate right now."
Soong Lin turned around and looked at Hao Chuan. This time, he didn't dare to look down on Hao Chuan's eyesight anymore. Hao Chuan also looked at Soong Lin's back as he left. He began to make plans in his heart. If those half-real and half-fake antiques were sent by Soong Lin, then these two paintings might have been made by Soong Lin using stickers.
This Soong Lin really had some skill. Hao Chuan was also becoming more and more interested in him.
"Old Sixth, if you didn't come in time, I would have really sold this painting. I would have lost a lot of face." Mr. Soong bowed to Sixth Master.
Sixth Master was also half happy and half worried. He said, "I have gained a lot of knowledge today. I am ashamed and ashamed." He looked at Hao Chuan and said to Mr. Soong, "You should thank Boss Hao!"
"Heroes come from young men!" Mr. Soong gave Hao Chuan a thumbs up. Then he sent an invitation to Hao Chuan, "Boss Hao, you have great eyesight. I wonder if you are interested in working in the Soong's Auction House."
Mr. Soong had the heart to love talents, but Hao Chuan didn't care about that at all. I am a man who wants to be rich. How can I work for you?
"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Soong, but my antique shop is too busy to handle it." Hao Chuan declined. Mr. Soong could tell what Hao Chuan meant, but he still couldn't let Hao Chuan go easily.
"How about this! Boss Hao is working for the chief appraiser, not me. He is helping me, old Song." Mr. Soong suggested a compromise, "In the future, if you have any treasures in your shop, you can send them to the auction house. Soong's Auction House will auction them for free. No commission or commission is allowed."
How could Hao Chuan refuse such a mutually beneficial thing? Hao Chuan shook hands with Mr. Soong warmly and said, "Mr. Soong is so polite. If I refuse, I will not know the rules."
"Sigh, old Song. To tell you the truth, I came here to see you make a fool of yourself." Sixth Master looked at his painting and said with a regretful expression, "Who would have thought that we would be laughing at each other for fifty steps? Both of our paintings are fake."
"Don't let me catch this wicked beast." Mr. Soong gritted his teeth.
"It's not like there's no way to fix this painting." Hao Chuan couldn't help but say when he saw the two of them suffering such a heartache because of the destruction of the ancient painting.
"Could it be that there's a way to fix it?" Mr. Soong and Sixth Master said together.2
"Let me think... think of a way!" Hao Chuan agreed readily. After agreeing, he remembered that with his current level of the system, he really had not found a skill that could repair antiques and paintings.
"I don't believe what others say." Sixth Master Huan Ling said, "I believe what Boss Hao said."
"Then I'll have to trouble Boss Hao. I'll leave these two paintings to him." Mr. Soong waved his hand and asked the staff to keep the two paintings.
At the same time, Soong Lin ran back and said, "Grandpa, the person who asked to sell the paintings is anonymous. We haven't found him yet." As he spoke, he unconsciously looked at the place where the painting was placed.
Hao Chuan smiled and looked at Soong Lin. He felt a little weak in his heart, but he immediately regained his composure and asked, "What should we do with the two paintings?"
"Boss Hao said he can think of a way to fix them." Mr. Soong was a little unhappy, but he still said to Soong Lin.
Hao Chuan's heart was as clear as a mirror. These half-real and half-fake antiques had something to do with Soong Lin. But Hao Chuan still did not understand how Soong Lin did it, and how he profited from it.
