Chapter 157 Familiar battlefield (please subscribe)

June 19, morning.

The clouds above the Magic City are very thick, like layers of gray cotton balls, piled on the high-rise buildings, completely blocking the sun. The whistling wind makes the trees in the city sway greatly. Occasionally, a few raindrops fall quietly and hit the ground, making a slight sound.

Several heavyweights attended the Magic City Museum.

Li Zeguang, director of the Cultural Relics Bureau, Gao Qinglin, chief expert of the museum, Hu Shu, a celebrity in the antique circle, and many experts and staff.

Lin Chuan is also among them.

Today, Hu Shu donated three rare antiques to the Cultural Relics Bureau in the name of Lin Chuan as compensation for Lin Chuan's "accidental damage" of the Qing Dynasty Chinese vine pattern thin jade bottle.

The donation ceremony was very successful.

Hu Shu patted Lin Chuan's shoulder with relief and said, "Xiao Lin, come out with me."

"Okay."

Lin Chuan nodded and followed Hu Shu to the corner of the museum.

Hu Shu, wearing a light grey gown, pushed up his glasses, looked at Lin Chuan, and asked with concern: "Xiao Lin, how is the restoration of that cultural relic going?"

Lin Chuan raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Mr. Hu, it is almost finished and is expected to be completed within two days."

"Good, very good."

Hu Shu did not hesitate to praise him, and then smiled again, "Xiao Lin, you have become a celebrity in the past two days. Someone asked me to meet you."

Lin Chuan was slightly surprised and asked in confusion: "I am still a nobody, how could anyone want to meet me?"

"In order to shut up netizens, the Cultural Relics Bureau released some on-site photos of you repairing the 'Qing Dynasty Chinese Entwined Branch Pattern Thin-Bodied Jade Bottle'. Now the antique circle in Shanghai knows your ability to repair cultural relics. It is normal for someone to want to meet you because of your reputation?" Hu Shu smiled.

Lin Chuan also smiled, and then asked: "Which master is that friend?"

Hu Shu put his hand on Lin Chuan's shoulder, turned around, raised his hand and pointed: "Him."

Lin Chuan looked in the direction, frowned slightly: "Master Gao?"

"Yes."

Hu Shu nodded.

Lin Chuan laughed dryly, and said a little embarrassedly: "Mr. Hu may not know that when I first arrived in the Magic City, I had some differences of opinion with him in the identification of cultural relics."

"Differences of opinion?"

Hu Shu's face showed a trace of doubt.

Lin Chuan then told him about the "identification of the Taotie pattern jar" when he first arrived in the Magic City.

"I see."

Hu Shu smiled, "In the identification of cultural relics, everyone has different perspectives, and some differences are inevitable."

"That's true." Lin Chuan smiled.

Hu Shu patted Lin Chuan on the shoulder again: "Xiao Lin, you should look forward. Gao Qinglin is a famous master in the antique circle of Shanghai. You will inevitably have to deal with him when you make your way in Shanghai in the future. Besides, he took the initiative to lose face this time. Let's be more generous. I will treat you to a meal at noon today. How about it?"

"Since it is Mr. Hu who asked, let's get to know each other." Lin Chuan smiled and responded.

Hu Shu laughed and seemed very pleased.

A strange color flashed in Lin Chuan's eyes, and he thought that Mr. Hu seemed to want him to make friends with Gao Qinglin.

However, Lin Chuan didn't think much about it.

After all, the circle of antiques in Shanghai is so small, and it is reasonable that Hu Shu and Gao Qinglin have a friendship.

He is willing to help him connect with Gao Qinglin, and there is no problem.

At noon, Lin Chuan accepted the invitation.

At the dinner table, Gao Qinglin changed his attitude towards Lin Chuan and greeted him with a smile. So, the three of them talked and talked at the dinner table in a harmonious manner.

This dinner didn't take long.

Because Lin Chuan had more important things to do.

Last night.

After Lin Chuan decided to reveal the counterfeit information about the thin-bodied jade bottle with Chinese winding branches from the Qing Dynasty, the three of them discussed how to spread the information.

In the end, the three of them planned to spread the information by anonymously posting online videos.

The Internet is a familiar battlefield for Lin Chuan.

After the dinner, Lin Chuan went directly to Lao Bai's "Wenbai Studio".

Wenbai Studio.

The weather outside the window was gloomy, and the bright lights were turned on in the room, shining on the workbench. The tabletop, which should have been placed with carving knives, files, sandpaper and other restoration tools, was now covered with a dark velvet cloth, and a newly restored thin-bodied jade bottle with Chinese winding branches from the Qing Dynasty was placed in the middle.

Youyou was wearing a beige long skirt and was holding a SLR camera to take some details of this thin-bodied jade bottle.

"You're back."

Youyou raised her eyes and saw Lin Chuan wearing a simple white shirt, with a smile on his face, walking towards her quickly.

Lin Chuan looked at Youyou who was serious and smiled: "You are all working, how dare I delay?"

"Let me show you the photos I took."

Youyou showed the photos to Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan nodded with satisfaction: "It meets the requirements perfectly."

"I have also edited the video commentary text." Youyou raised her little face and smiled with a little pride.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Lin Chuan's heart moved slightly.

Lin Chuan is an expert in network technology.

As for video production, Youyou and Lao Bai are more experienced than Lin Chuan, so they took the main responsibility of video production.

Youyou volunteered to be responsible for video text commentary, picture collection and other related work.

Lao Bai was responsible for editing and synthesis.

The videos they were going to make were relatively professional, so they consumed more energy.

Youyou only dozed off for three or two hours last night.

It was still dark today, so I got up and started editing the text.

"Little things."

Youyou pursed her smile, rubbed her tired eyes again, and smiled cheerfully.

"Brother, there's me too."

In a corner of Wenbai's studio, Lao Bai was sitting at the computer desk. He turned around and said as if he wanted to take credit.

"Don't worry, if you don't come to the celebration banquet, I won't use my chopsticks." Lin Chuan joked, "How's the video going?"

"I've almost finished the editing here. Then I'll upload the details of the cultural relics that my sister-in-law took and add the data, and it's almost done." Lao Bai laughed.

Lin Chuan nodded: "Do you need my help?"

Lao Bai shook his head and raised his eyebrows: "Brother, you can go out with your sister-in-law for a date and have a cup of milk tea. I will prepare it when you come back."

"Want to pack it for you?" Lin Chuan smiled.

"Of course that's better." Lao Bai raised his eyebrows again, a smile appearing on his face.

"I think you want to drink your milk tea, but it will be a little later. Let me create an anonymous user first to prevent the antique counterfeiting gang from finding us through the network IP." Lin Chuan returned to business, "Yuyou, can I lend you your laptop?" I'll use it."

In the corner of the workbench, there is Yuyou's notebook.

"Okay." Youyou smiled.

Lin Chuan opened his laptop, started to connect a VPN, then connected to the virtual network, and registered an account on Kuaidu Video with an overseas virtual IP.

In order to prevent the IP from being checked, Lin Chuan also specially built a firewall.

For Lin Chuan, this was accomplished in one go.

the other side.

Lao Bai’s video is also ready and uploaded.

As a result, a video with the title ‘The thin-bodied jade vase with branch-wrapped pattern from the Qing Dynasty is suspected to be a counterfeit’ appeared on the popular column on the homepage of Kuaishu Video.

…

At two o'clock in the afternoon, it started to rain.

The sky is lightly drizzled, like silk, like threads, intertwining into a hazy mist in the air, like a soft gauze covering the city.

In the manor of the 'Ancient Moon' private museum, the breeze blew gently, carrying a moist breath, causing the raindrops to fall diagonally, hitting the dense leaves, making a rustling sound.

Gao Qinglin is still wearing a black Tang suit.

He had a bright smile on his face and held a big umbrella in his hand. The person under the umbrella was Hu Shu. He walked slowly through the bluestone path, walked into the museum, and walked up to the third floor.

The two of them patted the fine raindrops on their bodies and sat down at the tea table.

"Mr. Hu, you do have a sharp eye. Lin Chuan is indeed a genius in antiques." As soon as he sat down, Gao Qinglin couldn't help but praise.

At today's dinner table, the two of them had a long talk with Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan occasionally made one or two different opinions, which benefited Gao Qinglin a lot.

This time, he had to accept it.

Hu Shu smiled happily: "It's a good start for you to put aside your prejudices. Soon, Lin Chuan will come to this museum after repairing the 'Qing Dynasty Chinese branch-patterned thin-body jade bottle' Work for me, and within a month, he will become an effective member of our team, and at that time, his value will be truly reflected.”

The value Hu Shu talks about is naturally the value of ‘antique counterfeiting’.

He has been watching Lin Chuan's "Last Week's Antiques". Every time he watches a plot about antique counterfeiting, he can always resonate with it, and he can always feel Lin Chuan's charm of pretending to be real.

Maybe this is genius.

The genius of antique counterfeiting!

Gao Qinglin smiled while making tea: "At that time, Mr. Hu will not need to take action himself."

"Of course, with Lin Chuan joining, I will save a lot of effort. You should also help him more." Hu Shu said with a smile.

Gao Qinglin's movement of making tea paused slightly and raised his eyebrows: "Is Mr. Hu trying to bring him into our core?"

"If he can stand the test, it is not impossible for him to be my spokesperson." Hu Shu smiled.

hiss!

Gao Qinglin's face was startled, he took a deep breath secretly, then calmed down, took over the conversation, and said with a smile: "Mr. Hu is really good at writing."

"Of course, otherwise I have such a big circle, why would I set this trap on him?"

A meaningful smile appeared on Hu Shu's elegant face.

Euphemistically called: spokesperson.

In fact, it is equivalent to being a corporate person and a scapegoat.

In Hu Shu's plan, he brought Lin Chuan in and asked Lin Chuan to make the fraud, so he could sit back and relax and enjoy the results.

Even if there were any mistakes, he could still clean them up.

Gao Qinglin brewed the Pu'er and poured a cup for Hu Shu.

‘Ring ring ring——’

At this time, his cell phone rang.

Gao Qinglin looked up at Hu Shu and apologized: "Mr. Hu, my subordinates are calling."

"It's okay, just take it."

Hu Shu took a sip of tea and said nonchalantly.

Gao Qinglin did not shy away from Hu Shu, and directly pressed the answer button, and then asked "what's the matter". The words of his subordinate on the phone made him suddenly startled and showed a look of horror.

"What's going on here?"

Hu Shu raised his head and glanced at Gao Qinglin, and asked unhurriedly.

Gao Qinglin put down his cell phone, swallowed, and said with a trembling voice: "Mr. Hu, someone exposed on the Internet that 'the thin-bodied jade bottle with branching pattern in the Qing Dynasty is suspected to be an imitation.'"

"Um?"

Hu Shu frowned immediately, and a look of disbelief appeared on his usually smooth face.
