Chapter 3211 Secrecy

Not to mention, Mr. Kong's concern is still necessary. Old man Cao Xiangui has a very weird temper, and most people don't look down on him at all. This may be a common problem among craftsmen, pride.

Cao Xiangui agreed to help entirely because of Kong Lao's face. As for who the original owner of "Seven Happiness Pictures" was, he didn't care at all.

Guan Haishan and Gong Xiuliang accompanied Zhen Jialin to Qilu. Cao Xiangui was only enthusiastic about Mr. Kong's two apprentices, but he didn't bother to take a second look at Zhen Jialin. He didn't even say a polite word. Zhen Jialin felt discriminated against, and her heart Received 10,000 critical hits.

Uncomfortable!

However, Zhen Jialin was not angry on the surface. After all, he was here to ask for help. As long as he could help, it didn't matter if he was given a cold reception or even scolded him.

When Zhen Jialin unfolded the damaged "Seven Happiness Pictures", Guan Haishan and Gong Xiuliang frowned. They were both experts. They knew how serious it would be if it was damaged to this extent. However, after reading it, Cao Xiangui was very disappointed. Relaxed means there is no problem and it can be repaired.

Did you see, this is the master's confidence, he is really sure, with Cao Xiangui's guarantee, Zhen Jialin felt as if she had taken betel nut Shunqi pills, every cell in her body felt so relaxed and comfortable, and Cao Xiangui's attitude towards him , then it’s even less important.

Despite Cao Xiangui's guarantee, the entire restoration process was not easy at all, and the requirements were extremely strict.

In Cao Xiangui's eyes, it is considered a success only when the repair is done until no flaws are visible. However, to meet such requirements, craftsmanship alone is not enough. Suitable materials are also needed.

This painting was created in 1942, so to restore this painting, you must use paper from that era, the same style, the same color, and even the same origin. Not only the paper, but also the color and ink must have the same requirements.

Fortunately, this painting is not that old and the materials needed are not extinct yet, but even so, it took nearly a month just to collect the materials.

With all the materials in place, all that’s left is to witness the miracle.

Restoring cultural relics is an ancestral craft of the Cao family and is their bread and butter. No one is allowed to watch the process. In this way, Zhen Jialin settled down there and waited for three and a half months for the restoration work to be completed.

The flowers that Zhen Jialin was waiting for were about to wither, but when he saw the restored "Seven Joys", Zhen Jialin's restless mood was instantly wiped away, and she was stunned.

Zhen Jialin's eyesight can't be measured in Hong Kong, let alone Gao Renyun.

Even within the mainland of China, it can be ranked among the top ten. At this level, it is second only to a master like Kong Lao. But with such eyesight, Zhen Jialin did not see even a single flaw. If he hadn't personally made this The painting was so damaged that he even wondered if he was dreaming. It was perfect, so perfect.

Zhen Jialin was so excited that she paid the Cao family's cost of 600,000 yuan on the spot. This price was a full 100,000 yuan more than previously agreed.

Cao Xiangui was puzzled, and Zhen Jialin smiled and explained to him that the 100,000 yuan was not a tip, but hush money for Cao Xiangui. He didn't want people to know that he had damaged his precious collection, and he didn't want anyone to know about it. The "Seven Joys" was a damaged piece. If these things were spread, he would not only lose face, but he would also not dare to show the painting to others.

He was relieved about Mr. Kong, but he had no friendship with the Cao family at all. He could not guarantee that people would not spread the news and use his treasure for advertising. Therefore, he hoped to spend 100,000 yuan to buy the Cao family to keep it secret.

The Cao family was talking about relationships with Mr. Kong, but they could only talk about interests with Zhen Jialin. They were offered 100,000 yuan to buy peace of mind, and of course they had no objection. The two parties hit it off immediately and successfully concluded the deal.

Back in Tiandu City, Zhen Jialin showed the restored "Seven Happiness Pictures" to Mr. Kong. Kong Fanlong was also amazed. Mr. Kong told him frankly that with his eyesight, if he looked carefully, he could still see the traces of restoration. However, it was difficult for him to tell that the broken bird head was a pure fake on the back filling. It could be said that the painting had been restored to perfection.

Zhen Jialin was still more cautious. Then he went to the Magic City to find Mr. Wang Zhenbang. This time the result was even more perfect. Wang Zhenbang didn't even see any signs of repair.

The other thing he was worried about did not happen. Mr. Kong and his disciples were very principled and would never tell anyone if they told him to keep it secret. The Cao family was also very trustworthy. After more than two years, the collection world There was no word about the restoration of "Seven Joys". Now, Zhen Jialin was completely relieved.

In the following years, Cao Xiangui passed away, and Kong Lao also passed away. At this point, the only people who knew about this painting were Guan Haishan, Gong Xiuliang and himself.

Until now, the entire Chinese collecting community knows that this "Seven Happiness Picture" is in Zhen Jialin's hands, but no one knows that this painting has another unknown side. With this inside story, this painting is more valuable than any other object. All must be special. Mr. Kong gave a definite answer. Grandmaster Wang Zhenbang of the Wang family, one of the four major collecting families in China, could not see the flaws in the objects. Guan Haishan would not believe that Zhao Jinzhou's machine could detect them even if he beat him to death. Therefore, he I implore Zhen Jialin to step forward and help. Not to mention, Mr. Kong's concern is still necessary. Old man Cao Xiangui has a very weird temper, and most people don't look down on him at all. This may be a common problem among craftsmen, pride.
