Chapter 660: Defeat is decided
"Do you think that the painting that suddenly appeared spoiler took out is genuine or fake?" Wei Ting, who had been sitting in the back row watching the excitement, turned her face sideways and asked Han Ye.
Han Ye glanced at the ancient painting taken out by the spoiler from a distance, and then replied, "Half-truth." ”
"Half-truth?" Wei Ting narrowed her eyes, "In the antique circle, true is true, fake is false, how can there be half-truth?"
Han Ye said: "That painting is also a fake, but it is so imitated that so many experts in the antique circle can't see it, and it is even more like the real thing than that lot, so it is not wrong that it is genuine." Its authenticity depends on how others determine it. ”
Wei Ting smiled and said, "You are amazing." It's so far away that you can tell at a glance that the painting is a fake, and there are so many high-level players and experts here who are far from you. ”
Han Ye smiled and said: "I'm different from them, they rely on knowledge and experience, I rely on supernatural powers, knowledge and experience can sometimes lead people astray, but once there is a conclusion, it is very authoritative and can convince others."
Sometimes, even if the supernatural powers can help you determine the authenticity, they cannot give conclusive evidence, which is unconvincing.
Just like now, although I know that the two "Yao Feng Splash Cui Tu" here are fakes, I can't prove it. ”
"That's pretty remarkable, too. Wei Ting stared at his eyes for a long time before sighing softly, "You have to know how many people want to have a pair of eyes like you that can see everything." ”
Han Ye said with a smile: "The routines in the antique circle are too deep, even if I have my magical powers, I may not be able to avoid capsizing in the gutter." However, I think that although Tang Yue's auction this time was disturbed, I don't think his loss should be too big, but his reputation may be a little hit, but the monetary loss should not be large. ”
He looked at Tang Yue, who was still entangled with the spoiler, from a distance, and continued to say to Wei Ting.
After all, Tang Yue has already auctioned off most of the lots, and even the mysterious buyer of the "Yaofeng Splash Cui Picture" has already sold 150 million.
The rule of the auction industry is that there is no guarantee that a lot will be genuine, even if it is a major international business.
Since the other party made a bid, he knew that it was fake, so he could only pinch his nose and buy the painting. Even if the other party wants to repent, and refuses to pay, the tens of millions of deposits will definitely not be able to be recovered, in general, Tang Yue still earned. ”
Wei Ting said disapprovingly: "For auction houses, especially larger auction houses, reputation is the most important thing, if the reputation is bad, whether it is collecting lots or finding customers in the future, it will encounter great difficulties."
After all, an auction house is an intermediary business, and who would want to put a lot of lots to you for auction if it has a bad reputation? Who would want to come to you to bid for it? If you spend a lot of money to buy a fake, wouldn't it be a loss? Who wouldn't be afraid?
As for that, the so-called mysterious buyer is simply the trust that Tang Yue found, who just wants to raise the price of the lot, so that the rich and idle wrongdoers can take over.
It's a pity that he missed a move, and before he could sell the painting to Zhao Ming, the person who stirred up the game appeared. He smashed this painting in his hand, where did he get any liquidated damages?
In short, Tang Yue was miserable this time, and it was quite miserable, and it was disturbed by someone like this, it is estimated that it will take a long time to repair the reputation of the auction house and regain its vitality. Again, this is based on the fact that there are no further mistakes. ”
Hearing this, Han Ye turned his head slightly, stared at Wei Ting's amorous Danfeng eyes, and asked, "I think it's a little strange, why don't you seem to be surprised by today's farce." ”
Wei Ting raised her eyebrows and said, "Maybe it's because I've been in this industry for too long and I've seen too many things, so it's not weird." Although this is relatively rare today, it is not particularly unusual. ”
Han Ye naturally didn't believe in such a statement, and asked with a smile: "The person who smashed the field won't be the one you found, right?"
"Of course not, how could I do that?" Wei Ting casually denied, "When competing for Tang Yin's paintings, although Tang Yue and I had some friction, it was a normal situation, and it was all in the past.
What's more, it is not an easy task to get a fake that is enough to mess with the real in such a short time, and I naturally will not go to such great lengths for that little friction. ”
Although Wei Ting said so, judging from Wei Ting's demeanor, tone, and knowledge of the entire auction, Han Ye always felt that the farce that happened today had nothing to do with her.
Han Ye even faintly felt that it was likely that the initiator of the whole thing was Wei Ting.
After all, she had some trouble with Tang Yuegang and had quite sufficient motives, and more importantly, Wei Ting was not a magnanimous person.
She may endure for a while under the interests, but revenge is her true character.
If the whole thing was really planned by Wei Ting, Han Ye felt that his perception of Wei Ting had to be refreshed again.
Tang Yue obtained the "Yaofeng Splash Cui Tu" from Gu Wen to the auction, and the time between the two was not long.
In such a short period of time, Wei Ting was able to find or imitate a fake that was difficult to distinguish between real and fake, and Han Ye couldn't imagine how she did it.
It's just that Wei Ting denied it so simply just now, and besides, he didn't have any friendship with Tang Yue, and even some people who didn't like each other very much, so Han Ye didn't bother to get to the bottom of the farce that was happening now, he just wanted to watch the excitement from the sidelines, and he had no intention of interfering.
