Although he knew the painting was genuine, he didn't know how much it could be sold for. Forty thousand yuan was a huge sum of money for him, and he only had a few dozen dollars left...
Seeing that Ye Haoxuan's face softened, the middle-aged man said again: "I'm adding ten thousand."
At this time, the customers in the antique shop had already seen what was going on here. Some people had already seen the painting in Ye Haoxuan's hand. A knowledgeable person advised him: "Little brother, just sell it. This painting is a copy."
, but it’s only a few thousand yuan, and fifty thousand is already a good price.”
"Yes, this friend seems to like this painting very much. Just be beautiful as an adult..."
Seeing this situation, the owner of the antique shop was disgusted and angry. He couldn't help shouting: "This is a fake. It cost more than one hundred yuan. Brother, you spent fifty thousand, isn't it worth it? I
There are better copies of Gu Kaizhi's paintings in the store, would you like to take a look?"
The owner of the antique shop was purely jealous, but the middle-aged man ignored him. He just looked at Ye Haoxuan and said, "What do you think, little brother?"
Before Lin Qian could answer, the shop owner pushed him away and said, "Brother, to be honest, there are many paintings in my shop that are better than this one. Do you want to take a look..."
Ye Haoxuan was pushed back a few steps by the antique shop owner. He couldn't help but feel secretly annoyed. The antique shop owner's face made him extremely unhappy. He would typically say that grapes are sour if he can't eat them.
You don't want to see me making money, right? I want to show you how to make money.
At that moment, he shook his head at the middle-aged man and said, "It's not that I won't sell it, but it's that there is something else in this painting."
Hearing what Ye Haoxuan said, the middle-aged man said oh, and immediately became interested again. He said, "Little brother, let me tell you, what else is there in this painting?"
The people next to him immediately became silent. Most of the people present were knowledgeable people. Among them, with a sharp look, they could tell that this painting was copied by others. Ye Haoxuan said that there was something else in this painting, which made them curious.
Sorry, could An Fu have made a mistake?
"How is that possible?" The owner of the antique shop was startled, and then sneered: "What a joke, I, Tang, have been in the antique industry for more than 20 years, how could I make a mistake?"
Ye Haoxuan sneered and said: "Everyone has mistakes sometimes. Why, Boss Tang doesn't believe that there is another mystery in this painting?"
"Of course I don't believe it. If there is a mystery in this painting, my name will be written backwards from now on. Huh, I think you are stupid because of reading, and you use a broken calligraphy and painting as a treasure?"
Ye Haoxuan smiled and said: "How about a bet? What if I find out the mystery of this painting later?"
Boss Tang raised his head and said decisively: "Bet one hundred thousand, if there is another mystery in this painting, even if I lose, but I have made it clear in advance that the mystery must have greater value. If you lose, return the painting to
I."
Ye Haoxuan said: "Okay, but it's empty talk. How about establishing a written evidence?"
At this time, the middle-aged man looked at Ye Haoxuan with great interest and said: "There is no need to establish written evidence. With me, Shen Yunzhou, as my witness, no one can rely on it."
"Shen Yunzhou, he is actually Shen Yunzhou?"
"Oh my god, a big shot in the antique world, a famous calligrapher and painter actually showed up here."
Shen Yunzhou's name has also been heard of by Ye Haoxuan. He is considered a celebrity in the antique world. He has appeared on CCTV's treasure appraisal program and has certain attainments in calligraphy and painting. He nodded and said: "Okay..."
Ye Haoxuan turned to the shop owner and said, "Please, bring me a glass of water."
The shop owner turned around and told the waiter to get water, and then said with a sneer: "Mr. Shen, I will testify that if there is something in this painting, I will write the name backwards."
While he was talking, a glass of water was brought over. Ye Haoxuan took it calmly and said, "See clearly..." He flattened the painting, then raised his head and took a sip of water, and then tried his best to spray the water in his mouth on the ancient painting. on the painting.
With a "pop" sound, the calligraphy, painting and table were immediately soaked. Ye Haoxuan sprayed a few more puffs to make the painting evenly wet.
The water was sprayed just enough, and the surface looked wet. Ye Haoxuan asked for another pair of tweezers, and used the tip of the tweezers to lightly and deftly move the corners of the painting a few times. As he moved the tweezers, the surface of the painting actually became wet. After applying a layer of paper, Ye Haoxuan carefully picked up the painting with tweezers.
A thin layer of paper was lifted up, and as this layer of paper was lifted up, another painting was indeed revealed among the calligraphy and painting.
This painting is almost exactly the same as the first one. People who don't know the art can hardly tell the difference.
But Chen Yunzhou's expression changed drastically, and he immediately rushed forward and looked at the painting carefully. His hands were shaking with excitement.
"This... this is Gu Kaizhi's authentic painting..." Shen Yunzhou was touching the painting carefully, fearing that the painting would be damaged by accident.
"Really, is it really Gu Kaizhi's authentic work?"
"Looking at Mr. Shen like this, he seems to be inseparable..."
"This young man is quite discerning..."
"It seems to be worth at least five or six hundred thousand..."
There was a loud roar among the crowd, and there was a lot of discussion for a while.
The owner of the antique shop's eyesight went dark, and he almost fell to the ground. His heart was almost bleeding. He missed such a big mistake because of his mistake, and he even lost 100,000 yuan...
It was impossible for him to deny the bet he had made just now. Shen Yunzhou was such a person and had great influence in the antique world. If he really defaulted on the money, he might not be able to survive in this industry in the future.
Excited, Shen Yunzhou grabbed Ye Haoxuan's shoulders and said, "Brother, how much is it? You make an offer, five hundred thousand, what do you think?"
Ye Haoxuan hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Shen, I don't want to sell this painting yet..."
Shen Yunzhou was startled, showing a hint of disappointment. He had always loved calligraphy and painting, almost to the point of madness, and he especially liked Gu Kaizhi's paintings. However, if Ye Haoxuan didn't want to sell, he couldn't force it.
In fact, Ye Haoxuan was very excited, but he didn't know the true value of the painting. It would be bad if it sold at a loss. He wanted to take the painting back and check the information about the painting carefully before making plans.
The current owner of the antique shop was about to cry. Looking at the painting in Ye Haoxuan's hand, he almost had the urge to snatch it. At half a million, this painting could at least equal his two-year turnover. Such a big leakage , disappeared from under his eyes in vain, which made him regret so much that he almost wanted to hit the wall.
He suddenly went crazy and grabbed Ye Haoxuan and said: "This painting was sold from me. I won't sell it anymore. I will refund the money to you, ten times as much..."
The people around looked at the antique shop owner as if they were cheating. His head was caught in the door. If it were you, would you back out?
Ye Haoxuan pushed him away coldly and said: "Boss Tang, are you okay? If it were you, would you withdraw? If nothing happens, please cash in the financial note you just made."
