The result was naturally exactly what Ye Xiu said. Under the seal, the four simple traditional Chinese characters of Liu Xingfeng's seal were clearly visible.
Everyone was shocked. Whether it was Zhang Yuqing and others who were mocking Ye Xiu, or Liu Wanting who was worried about Ye Xiu, including Mr. Wang, they all looked at those four words with dumbfounded expressions.
Everyone's expressions are like seeing a ghost! Is this really just a fake?
"Along the River During the Qingming Festival", which even the best experts swear to be authentic, is actually just a fake, or was it a fake imitated by the ancients under pressure from the imperial power?
Such truth completely overturned the cognition of Zhang Yuqing and others. It was difficult for them to understand why Ye Xiu knew these secrets that were not even recorded in historical materials?
Isn't he a freshman?
I haven't even taken an archeology course yet, and I can see a fake that none of them can see.
Thinking of their previous mockery of Ye Xiu and their previous attempts to humiliate Ye Xiu for his ignorance, at this moment, Zhang Yuqing and others wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
This is so embarrassing! "Mr. Wang, this painting is not expensive, right?"
At this time, Ye Xiu seemed to be fine and suddenly said to Mr. Wang, who was also stunned.
"Yes, less than 20 million!"
Mr. Wang nodded gently.
In fact, this is the reason why he has always suspected that this painting is not authentic. If it is the real "Along the River During the Qingming Festival", it is worth at least hundreds of millions. How could it be less than 20 million?
However, neither he nor the experts he brought could find any flaws, and they all agreed that it was genuine.
At this antique appreciation meeting, he was relieved to take out this painting for people to appreciate. He also checked to see if there were any folk experts who could see the problem. If not, it made him feel more at ease. As a result, he happened to hear
Ye Xiu said this painting was fake.
I felt energetic immediately.
As for Ye Xiu's suggestion that the seal must be cut open to identify the authenticity, Mr. Wang didn't care. Anyway, the price for this painting was not high. If it was truly authentic, even though there would be damage after repair, it would still be no problem selling it for 80 to 90 million.
, maybe even higher. It’s hard to tell for ancient paintings.
If it wasn't genuine, he could just settle the score with the guy who sold the painting to him! But who would have thought that it turned out to be a fake.
"Then Mr. Wang has made a profit. Although this painting is a fake, Liu Xingfeng's reputation is already great. The value of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" copied by him is not at all inferior to the original one. But the only pity is this
There is another imitation, which will give a slight discount on the price, but it shouldn’t be a problem to sell it for 80 to 90 million yuan!”
Ye Xiu said calmly.
My grandfather bought the genuine product and spent more than 300 million. There are two fakes. Judging from Liu Xingfeng's reputation, if he meets a seller he likes, it will not be a problem to sell them for hundreds of millions, eight or nine thousand.
Wan, it's just conservative! "Is there one more thing?"
Everyone was shocked again, completely ignoring the fact that a fake can be sold for eighty or ninety million! "Yes, Liu Xingfeng made two imitations at the beginning, one as a tribute and one as a gift for himself, but
He simply stamped that painting with his own seal!"
Ye Xiu nodded.
"How do you know this?"
The person who asked this question was Liu Wanting, who was most familiar with Ye Xiu. She was really curious about how Ye Xiu, at such a young age, knew these things that even the elites in the archeology field didn't know! "It's an old man.
Tell me!"
Ye Xiu thought of that wretched old man Long. These things were casually mentioned by his grandfather when he asked him to authenticate them! "This old man is really a strange person. If I have a chance, I really want to meet him!"
Mr. Wang sighed softly, but looked at Ye Xiu, as if he also wanted to meet this knowledgeable old man through Ye Xiu.
"Don't look at me like that, I don't know where he is now!"
Ye Xiu spread his hands and said helplessly! On the day he left Longyin Village, the old man also left. As for where he went, given Old Man Long's unpredictable temperament, Ye Xiu really didn't know! "Haha,
Anyway, I would like to thank my little brother this time. If it weren’t for my little brother’s discerning eyes, I would never have known that this was a fake!”
After Ye Xiu saw through his thoughts, Mr. Wang was not embarrassed and smiled slightly.
"Well, when will my appraisal fee be paid to me?"
Ye Xiu stretched out his right hand very simply.
Mr. Wang's expression froze, and others looked at each other in confusion. Liu Wanting even covered her forehead speechlessly. When the truth was revealed in front of them, Ye Xiu's status in everyone's minds immediately rose to that of a worldly expert.
Even if he said these were told to him by an old man, he was at least a disciple of an outsider. In the blink of an eye, he started asking people for benefits.
Can you have some moral integrity?
With Mr. Wang’s identity and status, how could he default on his debt?
"Haha, little brother, tell me your account number and I'll have someone call you right now!"
After being stunned, Mr. Wang came back to his senses and said with a smile.
With his worth, the appraisal fee worth millions is really nothing! Ye Xiu was not polite and quickly told Mr. Wang the account number Ye Youruo had prepared for him.
There is nothing that can be done about this. Who told him to come to Shu this time to assassinate Chen Cang secretly?
In order to conceal his identity, he even made some changes to his birth information. Anyone who checked would only find that he was just an orphan and had absolutely nothing to do with the eldest young master of the Ye family in Rongdu.
In this case, how much money can he carry with him?
Although he was used to spending a lot of money, he was not used to it at all. Now that he could earn a sum of money on his own, he would naturally not be polite.
After a while, Ye Xiu received the news that the account had been credited, and it turned out to be one million. This made Ye Xiu secretly surprised by the promise of the man named Wang in front of him.
Although those special appraisers are also worth this much, they are famous and have licenses after all. As for himself, he is just a student who has just entered the archeology major. In the end, he actually paid himself the money of a special appraiser as promised! "Wang
Sir is really a real person!"
Ye Xiu also sincerely praised the other party for being so trustworthy.
"Haha, it should be!"
Mr. Wang still had a happy face and said with a slight smile.
This scene makes Zhang Yuqing and others jealous to death. Although they don’t know the exact number, how can Mr. Wang be stingy with his status?
Since he mentioned the salary of a special appraiser, it must be the price of a special appraiser, which is at least tens or millions. This kid made so much money on his first day at school. It is really infuriating that people are more popular than others.
!But what made Zhang Yuqing and others even more jealous was what Mr. Wang said next.
"By the way, I don't know if my little brother has time next weekend. If you have time, can I ask you to accompany me to an auction and hold my eyes for me? Of course, the treatment will remain the same. If you are not satisfied, you can still
talk!"
Mr. Wang said very seriously, but Zhang Yuqing and others were so shocked that their eyes almost popped out...
