Rebirth I can see the success rate

Chapter 251 National Treasure Redemption Plan

"True?"

Hearing Lin Chen's firm judgment, Kong Yang was shocked, unable to tell whether it was surprise or fright on his face.

"Mr. Lin, are you sure?"

"Yes." Lin Chen nodded again.

"Why?" Kong Yang said quickly: "Don't hide it from Mr. Lin, I used to find many deans of art academies overseas for this painting, as well as the curators of collections. They all told me that it was this painting. The painting is a fake! And..."

He pointed to Lu Li aside: "After returning to China, I asked this Mr. Lu to appraise it, and his conclusions are exactly the same as those of overseas experts!"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Since so many people say it is a fake, why do you come to me specifically?"

Kong Yang showed a bitter expression on his face.

Su Wuyi did not want to see his old friend embarrassed, and said for him: "Lin Chen, Lao Kong bought this painting for 1.3 billion! No one would hope that 1.3 billion bought a fake, he said Don’t you want to show it with the last hope? What are you doing with so much nonsense? Just make it clear as soon as possible!"

"Speak clearly? I said, I'm pretty sure this is the original one." Lin Chen replied.

"The reason?" Su Wuyi asked.

reason?

This is difficult for Lin Chen.

He would make this judgment entirely because he had calculated that the probability that the painting was genuine was 100%.

As for the reason, how could he say it?

However, Lin Chen couldn't tell, but he knew there was someone who could tell.

The corner of Lin Chen's mouth turned slightly, and he looked at Lu Li on the side: "Lu Li, first tell me, why do you think this painting is a fake?"

Lu Li also wanted to know the basis of Lin Chen's judgment, so he said, "Mr. Lin, this is my reason."

He pointed to the porcelain held by the old man in the painting: “According to the commonly accepted knowledge nowadays, blue and white porcelain was introduced to Italy around the 17th century. Andrea Mantegna was from the 15th to 16th centuries, so it is naturally impossible to see it. Having passed this kind of thing, so based on this alone, it can be determined that this is a fake."

There is such a reason?

It was also the first time that Lin Chen heard of this kind of thing. He found that if he hadn't been able to see the success rate, he really couldn't play the appraisal of this Western oil painting.

Because this oil painting appraisal involves the relevant knowledge field, it is too broad.

The probability that blue and white porcelain arrived in Italy in the 17th century is...0%.

After seeing this result, Lin Chen asked, "Lu Li, are you sure that blue and white porcelain was introduced to Italy around the 17th century?"

"This one……"

Speaking of this matter, Kong Yang can say a few words: "It is now generally accepted that Europe obtained porcelain manufacturing technology from island countries in the 17th century, and Germany was the first to manufacture porcelain."

"That's just the manufacturing technology of porcelain? What about the finished product? In the 15th and 16th centuries, Italy should have access to porcelain through trade? Perhaps Andrea Mantegna saw porcelain through this method. And painted it into the painting."

"This is just your side words? There is no evidence. Those foreign experts don't say so..."

Before Kong Yang finished speaking, Lu Li said, "Kong Lao! Mr. Lin's words are indeed possible!"

"What?" Kong Yang was taken aback.

Lu Li explained: "I have indeed heard a rumor before. It is said that in Italy, I have indeed found fragments of blue and white porcelain unearthed in the 16th century..."

"What? How come I haven't heard of such a thing?" Kong Yang said in shock.

"Because the fragment disappeared not long after it was unearthed." Lu Li recalled, "I also heard my master mention this incident. He mentioned this incident to tell me the darkness of the Western art world. surface."

"In the Western art world, there is actually such an approach. Some art experts, by chance, have mastered some secrets of artworks that are not known to outsiders. This secret can sometimes prove the authenticity of an artwork. But. For personal gain, these people will temporarily hide the secret, and after they first describe the authentic product as a counterfeit, and then buy it at a low price, they will then produce relevant evidence to prove that it is authentic!"

"One time after another, the huge profits during the period fell into the pockets of these experts."

"There is such a thing..."

Both Kong Yang and Su Wuyi were shocked, and what Lu Li revealed was the dark side of the Western art world that they did not know at all.

Kong Yang even paled and said, "No wonder... After I went to find those foreign experts for identification, they all said that although it is a fake, it also has a certain value. I hope to buy this fake from me at a low price. "

"At first I thought they just liked this fake, but I didn't expect it to have ulterior motives!"

"Fuck! I said those foreign devils are not good things! They even like to play this set!" Su Wuyi said even more indignation.

Lu Li didn't join their conversation, but looked at Lin Chen: "Mr. Lin, you have known about this for a long time, so you think this is a genuine piece?"

"Hahahaha, yes, you can see it all." Lin Chen smiled, "but you are not bad at Lu Li, you can hear all these secrets."

"It was also taught by the previous master." Lu Liqian said, "but compared to Mr. Lin, I am still a lot worse."

At this time, Kong Yang, who had recovered his senses, strode over and sat beside Lin Chen: "Mr. Lin, thank you for answering my questions. Today I can finally sleep peacefully."

Lin Chen waved his hand: "It's okay, it's just a matter of effort for me."

Kong Yang said again: "Mr. Lin, although I failed last time, I still want to ask again this time. I wonder if you are interested in joining our committee?"

Lin Chen shook his head: "Sorry, my answer is still the same."

"I see..." Kong Yang had some regrets on his face, but he was not discouraged. "Mr. Lin, it doesn't matter if you don't join the committee, but there is a plan. I hope you can agree to participate anyway."

"Plan? What plan?" Lin Chen asked.

Kong Yang said: "This plan is a big plan made by our committee. This "Porch of the Three Oriental Doctors" is actually part of this plan. We call this plan the National Treasure Redemption Plan!"

"National treasure redemption plan?"

"Yes, Mr. Lin!" Kong Yang explained: "You also know that China was weak in the past, and many cultural relics and national treasures were left overseas. Now China is strong and the country has the idea of ​​asking for these treasures back."

"Officially, the state is using its influence to exert influence on official organizations overseas, allowing them to voluntarily return many national treasures."

"Among the people, there are also many patriots who have paid for some cultural relics to redeem them back to the country."

"However, whether it is official or private, some treasures are difficult for us to recover, because those foreigners will not sell them at all."

"These people are either private collectors or some overseas private art museums. For them, money alone can no longer move them, so we thought of a way, that is, exchange for objects!"
