Chapter 364 Because I have it
"It's just that I don't want to buy it," Wei Jiao said. "Boss, as customers, we also have the right not to buy it. We should compare shopping."
"Of course, you can do whatever you want, young lady." The owner of the glasses store said, "It's just that this handsome guy should apologize to us. All the autographs in our showcases are authenticated by experts who can provide authentication certificates. You destroyed it. Our reputation, the book fair is only five days away, and it will have an impact on our sales in the next few days.”
"Boss, do I look like I'm easy to bully?" Gu Lu said, "We are friends. I give suggestions to friends when they buy things. Is there any problem? Besides, I don't speak loudly. If I'm not the boss, you I just repeated that no one else could hear what I said, so who came from to say that the reputation was damaged?”
The glasses store manager immediately said, "The handsome guy doesn't admit it now?"
"Why do I have to admit to things I haven't done?" Gu Lu raised his voice, not suppressing his voice. "Also, why don't I recommend that my friend buy it? Because the four signatures of your 1910 version are not authentic."< br>
"Teacher Li Kebing, do you know? He is a famous book appraisal expert. He thinks it is real. Why do you think it is fake? How refreshing." The glasses store manager's mouth was like a machine gun, "Okay, since you said you just If no one hears it, it doesn’t ruin the reputation, so now it does!”
"Why do I know? Because I have a signed copy." Gu Lu found the photo from his mobile phone. "The Sign of Four was published by Spencer Blackett in 1890. Mr. Conan Doyle did not publish it after 1903." Signed on the published work. That year, Mr. Conan Doyle couldn't stand the pressure from readers, so he brought Sherlock Holmes to life and wrote "The Empty House."
"You may question the authenticity of this news," Gu Lu pulled out another photo, a photo with a person, "This foreigner is Miller Doyle, a descendant of Mr. Conan Doyle. He is also the head of the Conan Doyle Estate and is responsible for the income generated by Sherlock Holmes.”
"Don't believe it, you can find the photo of Mr. Miller by logging into the French Interpretation Network." Gu Lu said, "And what I just said came from the side comments of the publisher at the time. Even after 1903, he still wrote " "The Red Circle" and "The Uncanny Valley" are wonderful works, but Mr. Conan Doyle is very resistant to Sherlock Holmes. This content comes from the biography written by Mr. Miller."
"This autographed book was given to me by Mr. Miller," Gu Lu said. "Although there is another possibility, a crazy reader took this book and found Mr. Conan Doyle's signature. Conan said Mr. Er simply couldn’t refuse.”
"Comparing the two signatures, not only is there something wrong with the notes, Mr. Conan Doyle's habit is Arthur C. Doyle, not Conan Doyle, without exception." Gu Lu blocked the explanation channel, "The only thing in this book is The saving grace is that this book is indeed the original from more than a hundred years ago.”
"Boss, can you now understand why I don't recommend my friends to buy it?" Gu Lu asked back.
After some words, people feel unclear.
The treasure appraisal expert named Li is very powerful, but no matter how powerful you are, can you know better than the descendants of the writer?
It's like Puyi's joke. When he returned to the Forbidden City, he found that the wrong photo had been hung. The photo of his father Zaifeng had "Guangxu" written on it, so he corrected the mistake straightforwardly, which was more effective than any expert.
The young man who was good at eating melons was the one who was closest to Gu Lu just now. He could clearly see the photo on Gu Lu's mobile phone and immediately searched, "It's true. I hung up a ladder. That foreigner is really Conan Doyle." The person in charge of the Property Rights Association.”
"Awesome, this boss is on the iron plate." "Hahaha, I love it." "I feel like this guy's identity is not simple." "Nonsense, otherwise why didn't the descendants of Conan Doyle give me a book?" "Boss, we still like to read it. You look unruly and unruly"...
Last year, the cumulative sales of "Mr. Holmes" in the English cultural circle exceeded one million copies, and the film and television rights were sold. Miller Doyle came to China specifically to send books and take photos.
After staying in China for several days, Gu Lu guest-starred as a local guide. So the two chatted freely and happened to talk about signing books. Miller said that many cunning dealers use books published in that year and ink from that year to imitate signatures.
The one at the exhibition is relatively low-end, and even the name is not signed correctly... Wait, maybe the forger can't help it, because the Chinese people's impression is that Conan Doyle is called Conan Doyle, and the British People would call Arthur Doyle, and the middle name Conan was not unimportant, on the contrary, most of the time it represented the family. It's just the British custom that even the middle name on the certificate is omitted in English. To sum up, if you come to deceive the Chinese people and get a normal Arthur C. Doyle signature, the Chinese people may not buy it...
Simply put, if a copyright wants to remain viable for a long time, it must produce good fan content. Mr. Holmes is the best fan in recent years, and the Doyle family must set an example. Gu Lu was very sure and that's why he stopped him.
"I'm sorry, handsome guy. I didn't expect that the expert's appraisal was wrong. I will remove this fake book right away." The glasses shop owner apologized immediately, knelt down and admitted his mistake, which was quite professional.
Gu Lu didn't say anything because everyone around him took out their mobile phones to take pictures.
It's also Gu Lu's habit to take a photo of something interesting and delicious when he sees it. Even if the takeaway is sold on the ground, don't panic and take a photo first. This is why his photo album contains the signatures of real signed books. To be precise, Miller Doyle gave away several autographed copies of his published works.
It's not a good place to stay here for a long time. Gu Lu is like a wave, lost in the sea of people. And Wei Jiao followed closely behind. After all, he helped save 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, so he must be grateful.
The two stopped at the safety exit where there were fewer people.
"You are just like in school, you can solve any problem." Wei Jiao sighed, "This is strength."
"I didn't want to make the matter such a big deal," Gu Lu said.
"It's true, I feel more mature. If it had been in the past, I would have spoken out directly about it, unlike now where the store owner is committing suicide." Wei Jiao said.
Gu Lu originally planned to find the event administrator privately. If there were fakes, the organizer would definitely take care of it. Then the noise is relatively small and will not affect other customers.
Having said that, maybe the friends would be happier to be able to eat melon... "It's also good luck that I didn't get recognized." Wei Jiao said.
"I'm not a celebrity, so how can I be recognized? What's more, many big stars may not be recognized in their daily lives." Gu Lu said.
Chatting.
"Teacher Gao is studying in Sijiu City, so I must go and see it." Wei Jiao couldn't help but say when she heard the news from Gu Lu.
"Studying at Beijing Normal University, Beijing Normal University is indeed one of the best among domestic normal colleges." Gu Lu said, "Then let's go shopping separately first, and then find a place to gather at three o'clock in the afternoon."
Wei Jiao agreed, and the two went to the book fair again, but this time they went their own way. When old classmates meet, in fact, apart from reminiscing about childhood fun, there seems to be nothing to talk about.
It would be embarrassing to continue chatting.

Renren Daily: "'Villains share the same but not harmony, gentlemen share the same beauty and beauty, and are harmonious but different.' World peace is the pursuit of people all over the world. Gu Lu practiced Hou Lang's words and handed over the answers: "One Night Genius" and "Antarctic Scramble" "War", "Immortal Fugitive", "The New Great Wall" Diplomatic Quartet"
It’s not the content on Weibo, this paragraph is the second (sub) front page article of Renren Daily’s physical newspaper. The title is "The Diplomatic Quadrilogy Witnesses the Course of China's Diplomacy."
The second article is a bit uncivilized. The front page layout of Renren Daily is usually divided into 2:3. The left side takes up 40% of the entire article and is the headline "National Standardization Development Outline", which can be seen at a glance.
Other headlines next to it are "continuously pushing forward the great historical cause of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation" and "implementing party building and developing more advantages." You can imagine the gold content of this issue's sub-headlines.
The specific text explains the role of several articles by Gu Lu in the diplomatic field.
"Win with one step, win with every step! You are indeed worthy of being a member of our Park League!"
"I asked you to come over for a drink. What are you still reading? Look... You have the habit of reading Renren Daily. Octopus and we have been sleeping in the same bed for half a year. How come you don't know you have this habit?"
Zhang Yudong was drinking with his colleague Xiaohu and others. Xiaohu's full name is quite domineering, but he is usually kind and gentle.
"You know the ball, I am also someone who pays attention to the world situation," Zhang Yudong said it true. Did you not see that after the lights were turned off in the university dormitory, the conversation was rich in content.
"Huh?" Xiaohu came over, "Gu Lu? Isn't this the Gu Lu you boasted about being your classmate?"
"You are my classmate, what is bragging?" Zhang Yudong said, "Of course Gu Lu is awesome. Do you know the diplomatic tetralogy? As soon as "The Battle for Antarctica" was released, he had a suite in the Lofoten Islands. Socially, I, Brother Gu, , who can compare? ”
In fact, Xiaohu and others don't think Gu Lu is awesome, because they think it's normal for people like Gu Lu to be in the news. They are too far away, so they have no real feeling.
It's just that Zhang Yudong said that he and Gu Lu have a very good relationship, but this guy is very low-key and doesn't even know how to brag.
"We have such a good relationship, why don't you please come out and let me pay our respects?" Suddenly a colleague spoke up. He couldn't bear to see Zhang Zhao liking a woman. Why? Just by being rich, handsome, and good at talking, can I be liked by the goddess? Why!
No, it's not easy to seize the opportunity, Ge Ying said.
All of a sudden, my friends seemed to freeze at the wine table...
The words were divided into two parts, Renren Daily also attracted other people.
About a month ago, June 12th was the National Day of the Bear Country. The date and time come from the "Declaration of Sovereignty of the Federation of Furry Bear Countries" adopted by the main Federation of Furry Bear Nations in the 1990s. Since it is not a "10" or "5" day, I just sent a congratulatory message in the name of ordinary people.
Thinking about it, it would be too cumbersome to send celebration gifts every year...
But then again, next year, 2020, will be the 30th anniversary of our National Day. Will we also receive the same treatment when we are ten years old?
Vladimir, the ambassador of the Bear Country to China, if you saw him, you would not think that he was a big bear. He has no rosacea, no strong physique, and is even a little too thin. Only when you take off your clothes and see the lush body hair can you prove your Slavic ancestry.
