Seeing Ye Feng laughing for no reason, shopkeeper Tao couldn't bear it anymore and asked: "Why are you laughing!?"
"Do you doubt the authenticity of this handwriting?"
Ye Feng shook his head slightly, "It's nothing."
After all, for this kind of antique calligraphy and painting, it is difficult to tell whether it is true or false.
People are opening a store to do business, and they are not here to cause trouble. There is no need to expose them in person and cause trouble.
As long as they are real treasures that can cure diseases and save lives, and are not fake, it will be fine.
Ye Feng doesn't know how to meddle in other people's business.
"Huh!" Shopkeeper Tao snorted coldly, dissatisfied with Ye Feng's attitude. He didn't know how to pretend to be a big-tailed wolf?
"Shopkeeper Tao, how much does this authentic painting of Wang Xizhi cost?" Zhao Wanting couldn't help but ask.
She thought that if she still had some money left later, she might consider it.
Shopkeeper Tao smiled and said: "This is our store's treasure, and we won't sell it for the time being. After all, our owner spent a lot of effort to get this treasure."
"But once, when our host was having dinner, we were chatting with friends and mentioned that if it were auctioned in the future, it would cost at least 100 million per word!"
A hundred million per word!?
There are twenty-eight pieces of this authentic piece of "Quick Snow and Clear Tie" in total, which is 2.8 billion!
This is a truly sky-high price!
As soon as this estimate was uttered, everyone was shocked!
Even the wealthy Zhao Wanting couldn't help but be dumbfounded and frightened.
This price is something she cannot accept.
"So expensive?" Ye Feng was surprised when he heard the price.
I didn't expect Wang Xizhi's calligraphy to be so valuable.
Although he followed the thirty-fifth master and learned his ability to fake antiques, the value of antique calligraphy and painting varies from person to person, and the market changes rapidly, so Ye Feng does not understand the relevant market.
“This is the normal price!”
At this time, Director Jia continued to introduce.
"This authentic painting by Wang Xizhi was auctioned in ancient times and is worth seven hundred taels of gold!"
"According to the current inflation rate, Wang Xizhi's characters cost 100 million per character, which is the normal market price."
"It's a pity that there are not many authentic ones on the market."
After hearing this, everyone nodded.
After hearing what Director Jia said, everyone stopped looking shocked. It turned out that this was the normal price.
However, Ye Feng knew clearly: there were no originals on the market, they were all imitations by later generations. In fact, even if they were imitations, they had been out of print for several batches.
According to Master Thirty-Five, the so-called authentic works on the market today are actually all made by him.
In other words, the calligraphy imitated by Ye Feng's master has been certified by professional circles as Wang Xizhi's original work. It is completely fake and has far-reaching influence.
"Oh, what a pity..." Zhao Wanting shook her head slightly, expressing her helplessness.
"This is really priceless." Hua Guodong was also amazed, "No ordinary person can afford this price!"
"That's right!" Curator Jia said again, "Wang Xizhi's authentic works are inherently valuable but not marketable. Even if there are occasional buyers, most of them are overseas Chinese who buy them as family heirlooms."
At this time, shopkeeper Tao pulled Zhao Wanting aside alone and whispered a few words in a low voice.
Others couldn't hear it, but Ye Feng had a sharp ear and could hear it clearly.
"Miss Zhao is a regular customer here. I heard that Mr. Zhao also loves Wang Xizhi's calligraphy very much. If the Zhao family is really interested in this calligraphy, our owner has also said that we can give it to him at a cheap price!"
"Really!?" When Zhao Wanting heard this, she was surprised and happy. "How much does it cost?"
Twenty-eight words, even if it is cheap, it is probably a sky-high price.
Shopkeeper Tao stretched out his hand and pressed it down slightly: "I can give it to the Zhao family, give it a half!"
Half the discount, 1.4 billion!?
Although it was still a sky-high price, Zhao Wanting frowned and thought to herself that this price was something the Zhao family could consider.
Then I thought that my grandfather would probably die soon, and even if he got the life-extending elixir, he would only have one year to live.
If in the last year of life, I get an authentic painting of Wang Xizhi, accompany it every day, and look at it a few times, this life will be considered worthwhile, right?
When I saw Zhao Wanting, I started to hesitate, ponder and be tempted.
There was a hint of cunning on Shopkeeper Tao's face.
At the same time, he had an imperceptible eye contact with Director Jia.
And none of this escaped Ye Feng's eyes and attention.
I see!
When Ye Feng saw this, his heart trembled.
Shopkeeper Tao and Director Jia seem to be cooperating inside and outside to set up a trap to deceive the Zhao family.
If it were someone else, that would be fine.
But since Ye Feng is following, how can he just sit back and watch?
"Shopkeeper Tao!" After coming back to her senses, Zhao Wanting is not a fool. There must be something fishy about discounting things in half. "Such an expensive thing is sold to our Zhao family at half the price? Why on earth!?"
Shopkeeper Tao smiled and said: "We, the owner of the restaurant, have admired Mr. Zhao for a long time. We just want to borrow flowers to offer to Buddha. I hope the Zhao family can take care of him in the future."
Mr. Zhao's energy can indeed attract a lot of people who want to please him.
Zhao Wanting was not surprised by this and had already taken it lightly.
"I'll go back and discuss it with my grandpa."
Zhao Wanting said finally.
"Okay, okay!" Shopkeeper Tao saw that there was something going on, so he smiled and nodded.
They are taking a long-term view to catch the big fish and are not in a hurry. All this today is just the beginning.
"Miss Zhao, do you really want to buy this calligraphy?" Wang Fan also heard the conversation between the two just now, and felt a little strange, so he asked uneasily.
"Yes." Zhao Wanting nodded, "My grandfather likes Wang Xizhi's calligraphy the most, but unfortunately he has never been able to buy an authentic one of his own. I think..."
"Then let me write one for the old man another day!" At this time, Ye Feng suddenly interrupted.
"In addition to Wang Xizhi, there are also works by Ouyang Xun, Yan Zhenqing, Liu Gongquan and others. I will write whoever I want." This chapter has been completed!
