There were many people in the crowd who wanted to buy it, but they didn't expect that Mr. Meng directly offered a high price of 150,000 yuan, which put them off.
They want to buy this painting because of its economic value. Only Mr. Meng really likes this painting and wants to buy it home to collect it and study it carefully, so he is not very sensitive to the price.
One hundred and fifty thousand was a lot to him, but it was nothing.
"Hahaha, okay, okay, then I won't be polite! Xiao Wang, take the money over here!"
When Mr. Meng saw He Jincheng agreeing, he was overjoyed and waved to the assistant beside him.
Assistant Xiao Wang immediately came over carrying a box.
One hundred and fifty thousand is actually not bad, but the largest denomination in this era was only ten yuan, so it seemed like a lot.
"Mr. He, here is 50,000 yuan in cash. The remaining 100,000 yuan can only be withdrawn from the bank after the banquet is over. Do you have any objections?"
Mr. Meng smiled and pointed at the box.
"Of course I have no objection. Mr. Meng can transfer it directly to my card when the time comes!"
He Jincheng nodded and smiled.
If all the 150,000 yuan coins were turned into cash, that would be 15,000 coins, which would naturally be inconvenient to hold in your hand.
And with Mr. Meng's character, he would definitely not cheat, so he had nothing to worry about.
"By the way, Mr. Hu, is it time to verify your antiques now? To be honest, I have always felt that there is something wrong with your ancient bronze lamp, and it is very likely to be a fake!"
He Jincheng suddenly thought of something and looked at Hu Zhengsheng with a smile.
Hu Zhengsheng is bound to lose today.
But He Jincheng didn't want to simply let him go. If he wanted to step on him, he would step on him to death.
He wanted to see what Hu Zhengsheng's expression would be when he knew that the ancient bronze lamp he bought for 12,000 yuan was a fake.
"Nonsense, He Jincheng, what do you want to do? I admit that I lost the bet we made before. At worst, I will just admit defeat, but you are talking nonsense, and you can't let it go!"
Hu Zhengsheng just couldn't find any reason to deal with losing the bet, but he didn't expect that He Jincheng would do something like this.
That's right. If you can't give me a reasonable explanation later, I'll ask you to repay me twice as much.
"It's fine since you've given up, but because you're so stupid, I'll give you another chance. Let's have another bet on whether your ancient bronze lamp is genuine or fake."
He Jincheng said with a sneer.
Seeing Hu Zhengsheng's stubborn mouth, He Jincheng found it funny.
Since I have dealt with you today, I will deal with you thoroughly.
"Okay, what's the bet?"
Hu Zhengsheng said through gritted teeth.
"If I lose, the previous bet will be void. If you lose, how about doubling the bet?"
He Jincheng said with a smile.
If it were doubled, it would be 20,000, which is not a big problem for a rich man like Hu Zhengsheng.
Hu Zhengsheng made this calculation in his mind and felt that he could agree to this bet.
He must never lose again. Twenty thousand is okay, but the key is to kneel down and apologize to He Jincheng in front of so many people. If this spreads out, how can he still mess around in the future?
Besides, Hu Zhengsheng has 100% confidence in this ancient bronze lamp.
It was produced at Nandu Auction. I auctioned it for 12,000 yuan, and so many people have authenticated it. How could it be fake? Impossible, absolutely impossible.
"Why, is Mr. Hu afraid?"
He Jincheng said with a chuckle.
"Am I afraid? He Jincheng, please stop irritating me with provoking generals. Okay, I'll bet with you!"
Hu Zhengsheng's eyes widened and he immediately became anxious. He looked at He Jincheng with a sneer and said, "He Jincheng, come on, let us see how you can prove that my ancient bronze lamp is fake!"
When he said this, Hu Zhengsheng's face was full of sarcasm and disdain.
In his opinion, He Jincheng is just a clown.
Everyone also watched this scene with interest.
They were all very curious and wondered what method He Jincheng would use to identify this ancient bronze lamp.
During the previous auction, everyone took turns to authenticate it, and they all felt that this ancient bronze lamp was genuine and there was nothing wrong with it.
But He Jincheng was not joking. A bet amounted to 20,000 yuan. Only those with mental problems would make such a bet that was impossible to win.
If this is the case, then He Jincheng must have a certain degree of confidence to do so.
However, no one can figure out what method He Jincheng will use to verify that this ancient bronze lamp is fake.
"It's very simple. It only takes me two seconds to verify it. Show me the ancient bronze lamp!"
He Jincheng smiled and stretched out his hand.
Hu Zhengsheng frowned and looked at He Jincheng, hesitating in his heart whether to give it to this boy.
"There are so many people here, are you still afraid that I will default on my debt?"
He Jincheng sneered.
Hu Zhengsheng snorted coldly, placed the ancient bronze lamp in front of He Jincheng, and said, "I want to see what tricks you are playing!"
He Jincheng picked up the ancient bronze lamp with a smile, played with it in his hand, and shook his head repeatedly.
"It's a pity, it's a pity, the workmanship is really good, it's no different from the real thing, but it's a pity that it has a fatal flaw!"
Everyone craned their necks to look, but saw nothing. They all couldn't figure out how this ancient bronze lamp could be fake.
"Humph, He Jincheng, you keep saying it's a lie, so you can prove it to us!"
Hu Zhengsheng said coldly.
"Okay, everyone, please watch!"
He Jincheng nodded, then raised the ancient bronze lamp high, and then, in front of everyone's astonished eyes, he slammed it on the ground.
Only a bang was heard, and the ancient bronze lamp was smashed to pieces by He Jincheng.
"He Jincheng, you bastard, I bought this with real money. I don't think you want to bet with me. You are clearly trying to humiliate me and insult the intelligence of all of us. You need to give me an explanation.
!”
After Hu Zhengsheng was briefly stunned, he suddenly became furious, and at the same time he was a little happy in his heart.
Well, He Jincheng, you actually thought of this and thought that if you dropped something, you wouldn't have to fulfill the bet?
He could be sure that He Jincheng was clearly desperate and had no choice.
Even Mr. Meng frowned, his heart full of doubts.
He has also appraised many antique treasures, and has used various appraisal methods, but this is the first time he has seen such a broken thing being appraised. This is obviously destroying antiques!
"Little friend He, what do you mean? You dropped a good bronze vessel. What a pity!"
Mr. Meng said in a deep voice.
"Humph, what do you mean? I think He Jincheng is the one who broke the pot. He Jincheng, it makes no sense at all for you to do this. I think you should just admit defeat. I can consider lowering the stakes!"
Hu Zhengsheng sneered, He Jincheng was definitely defeated.
