There is no peace within their family, especially among the several cousins. In order to win the favor of their grandfather, the competition is even more fierce, which perfectly demonstrates what "brothers, friends, and brothers are respectful".
He finally got a few words of praise from his grandfather because of Qian Weicheng's words, which made several cousins extremely jealous.
As a result, Ye Chen said that the painting was fake. Wasn't this trying to undermine himself and deliberately make things difficult for him?
These five calligraphy and paintings are actually all fake!
In order to expose Ye Chen as a liar and a fake appraiser in front of his grandfather.
These five calligraphy and paintings are top-quality imitations that Zhou Lechi specially found from an antique dealer last night.
When he bought it, the antique dealer told him directly that these paintings were imitations. The antique dealer had asked several experts to appraise them.
There are two paintings that even look fake and real.
Now let’s see what this person named Ye says.
"Brother Ye, have you done the appraisal? Which ones are authentic and which ones are fakes?"
Seeing that Ye Chen had finished reading several calligraphy and paintings, Zhou Lechi couldn't wait to ask.
Mr. Zhou didn't speak and looked at Ye Chen curiously.
"Um."
Ye Chen nodded, these calligraphy and paintings were a bit interesting.
"Of these five paintings and calligraphy, four are false and one is true."
Ye Chen said slowly.
Four falsehoods and one truth?
Ye Chen's answer was something Mr. Zhou didn't expect. He didn't know much about calligraphy and painting appraisal, but these paintings and calligraphy didn't look simple.
Mr. Zhou also thought that there were many true and few false among them.
Unexpectedly, Ye Chen found out after identification that four were false and one was true.
As for Zhou Lechi on the side, he even sneered.
This kid is really good at blowing.
These five paintings are all fake, but he was able to identify four calligraphy and paintings as fake, which is indeed impressive.
It seems that he is not a liar as he guessed, but also has some ability.
But that’s where it stops. Is Ye Chen still far away from being a real expert?
"Really?"
Zhou Lechi asked pretending to be surprised.
"When I bought these calligraphy and paintings, I didn't spend much money. I thought they were all fake?"
Ye Chen did not finish speaking, but looked at the middle piece of Huang Tingjian's calligraphy.
Huang Tingjian, one of the "Four Calligraphers of the Song Dynasty", is one of the most famous calligraphers in the Northern Song Dynasty.
"The calligraphy is real and very interesting."
Ye Chen said with a sigh.
Ye Chen could tell at a glance that the other four calligraphy and paintings were fakes, but when he first saw this calligraphy, Ye Chen also thought it was a fake.
But when Ye Chen took a second look, he realized that it was different and particularly interesting.
"It's unlikely that this calligraphy is real."
Seeing that Ye Chen actually said that this painting of Huang Tingjian's running script was real, Zhou Lechi was amused.
Not only Zhou Lechi, but also Mr. Zhou raised his eyebrows. Even Mr. Zhou, who did not know much about antique calligraphy and painting, felt that this calligraphy did not look real.
Huang Tingjian's running script is concise and powerful, with a unique structure and is quite distinctive. However, this calligraphy obviously does not have the power of Huang Tingjian's writing.
"Xiaoye, is this calligraphy really true?"
Mr. Zhou asked.
"There is no doubt that it is authentic."
Ye Chen nodded affirmatively. Not only was it true or false, it was also valuable.
The most expensive calligraphy and painting in the history of Chinese calligraphy and painting auctions is Huang Tingjian's "Main Pillar Inscription" in running script.
That "Main Pillar Inscription" was sold at a Poly auction in 2010 for a sky-high price of 436.8 billion, which shocked China and the world at the time.
That's it for what is called a thousand pieces of gold.
Twelve years have passed, and the current valuation of the "Main Pillar Inscription" has probably increased a lot.
Also a work by Huang Tingjian, this calligraphy is not much different from the value of the "Inscription on Pillar Pillars", if not more.
"Authentic?"
Seeing Ye Chen say this, Zhou Lechi stood up.
"I think this calligraphy is fake."
"Ye Chen, do you dare to make a bet with me?"
Zhou Lechi provoked:
"Actually, I specially invited Master Ning, a famous calligraphy and painting appraiser in Shanghai, to come today."
"If Master Ning later says that this calligraphy is authentic, I will give it to you for free."
"But if Master Ning says this calligraphy is fake, then you must solemnly apologize to me."
"How about it, Ye Chen, do you dare to bet?!"
"no problem."
Ye Chen nodded.
Ye Chen is quite confident about the top-level appreciation ability that the game has given him.
He came here for dinner today, but Zhou Lechi insisted on giving him several hundred million, or even more. Of course, Ye Chen had no reason to refuse.
How can you find such a good thing like eating a meal and earning hundreds of millions in the world?
"very good."
What he wants is to embarrass Ye Chen in front of his grandfather, and see what his grandfather says about him being excellent?
Excellent, just him?!
Ten minutes later, Master Ning invited by Zhou Lechi arrived.
"Hello, Mr. Zhou."
After entering the villa, Master Ning greeted Mr. Zhou respectfully.
Because of his special status, many of the rich and powerful people in the Demon City were extremely polite when they saw Master Ning, but when facing Mr. Zhou, Master Ning did not dare to show the slightest slightness.
"Master Ning, please help me identify these calligraphy and paintings."
Zhou Lechi got straight to the point and pointed to the five paintings and calligraphy hanging there.
"good."
Putting on his glasses, Master Ning walked up to several calligraphy paintings and appraised them meticulously.
After a while, Master Ning turned around and said very responsibly:
"It's such a pity that these calligraphy and paintings are all imitations."
They are all imitations!
Seeing that Master Ning, the famous antique appraisal expert in the Magic City, said this, Zhou Lechi smiled brightly.
Mr. Zhou behaved normally.
Xiaoye is very young, so it is normal for the diagnosis to be wrong.
Master Ning's appraisal level is top-notch in the Demon City, even in the whole country. Xiaoye cannot compare with Master Ning, which is too normal.
"Ye Chen, what else do you have to say now."
Zhou Lechi asked Ye Chen proudly, as if he was waiting for Ye Chen to take the initiative to apologize to him.
Ye Chen did not answer Zhou Lechi, but looked at Master Ning.
"Master Ning, can you make sure again that the running calligraphy of Huang Tingjian in the middle is not authentic?"
Ye Chen said everything he was referring to.
This painting of Huang Tingjian's running script is very interesting. If you don't look carefully, you won't be able to tell much.
"The calligraphy of Huang Tingjian in the middle?"
After hearing what Ye Chen said, Master Ning was not sure, so he appraised Huang Tingjian's running script again.
This time, Master Ning looked more carefully.
Three or four minutes later, Master Ning turned around and answered quite firmly:
"This calligraphy is definitely not Huang Tingjian's original work, I guarantee it."
"I have seen several authentic works by Huang Tingjian. The charm of the calligraphy and the brushwork of this painting are all very different from Huang Tingjian's."
"Master Ning is the vice president of the Chinese Calligraphy and Painting Appraisal Association. He is a leading figure and can never make mistakes."
Zhou Lechi spoke impatiently:
"Ye Chen, don't be so harsh, have you forgotten what we just said?"
Zhou Lechi hinted that Ye Chen should apologize to him quickly.
Ye Chen smiled and did not answer, but walked to the calligraphy written by Huang Tingjian in the middle.
The next second, under the astonished gazes of several people, Ye Chen made an extremely bold move!!!
