Chapter 40: Tongue War

I saw Zhao Ming standing on the stage, and Boss Zheng beside him looked at him with a frightened face, Boss Zheng never thought that his calligraphy and painting were certified by the Dongcheng Appraiser Association, and he would even attract questions from this hairy boy.

And so far, the treasures identified by this young man in front of him in the past two days have shocked the entire treasure appreciation world.

If Zhao Ming really felt that there was something wrong with this landscape painting, Boss Zheng would still be more or less afraid in his heart.

"First of all, let's start with the framing of this painting, I can only tell you that this painting is the same as the real thing, from the framing, to the literal ink, and the age of the paper. Zhao Mingyi started with the framing of the landscape painting, and carefully analyzed the different parts of the landscape painting.

As soon as Zhao Ming's words came out, the people in the audience began to talk again.

"What you said is not nonsense......" The people in the audience began to question Zhao Ming's purpose for coming to the stage this time, saying that there are so many framed inks on the paintings, as well as the age of the paper, there is no problem, so what is the difference between it and the real thing?

Seeing that the people in the audience were talking a lot, and people kept coaxing him to get off the stage, Zhao Ming didn't have the slightest nervousness, only to see him standing there calmly, observing the audience's reaction.

"But. Zhao Ming suddenly shouted, what she actually wanted was this effect, if he directly told the falsification of this landscape painting without foreshadowing, it is estimated that the people in the audience would not believe it.

"As we all know, anyone who knows a little antique calligraphy and painting should know this knowledge, the paper before the Song Dynasty and the paper after the Song Dynasty are completely two looks, since the beginning of the Song Dynasty, the invention of papermaking, the paper of the Song Dynasty has the most obvious characteristics, even if it is soaked in water will not break. ”

Zhao Ming said lightly, he knew in his heart that the next move in a while might cause Boss Zheng's anger, so he carefully observed the reactions of the people in the audience.

"What do you mean by this? Could it be that you are going to put this landscape painting in the water without a basis? A member of the Treasure Connoisseurs Guild blurted out.

"Yes, young man, I know what you are doing. I also know that you are a very good treasure connoisseur, but we have to be reasonable in everything, and you soaked my paintings in water without any evidence, what if your judgment was wrong?

All this is just your conjecture, if my painting is real, wouldn't it be useless if you soaked it in water?" Boss Zheng heard someone in the audience say this, and he quickly echoed it.

"Let me tell you Zhao Ming, this landscape painting is the best-preserved one in history, you must know that Li Cheng of the Song Dynasty has very few works today, you must know that your impulsive move may ruin the masterstroke of a generation of famous teachers. The white-bearded old man in the audience also hurriedly helped them play the round, after all, he was a thief.

Seeing that the people of the Treasure Connoisseur Association were so nervous, Zhao Ming's heart was even more firm in his judgment, they could deceive others, but they couldn't deceive themselves.

Zhao Ming did not find a trace of aura in this painting, if this antique calligraphy and painting is real, the handwriting of Master Li Cheng of the Song Dynasty, then he has no reason at all, there is no trace of aura on it. So it's definitely a fake.

It's just that this fake may have a super high degree of restoration, and ordinary treasure connoisseurs can't see any clues at all.

"But what if someone lied to you?" Zhao Ming ignored the annoyance and anger of these people, and continued to ask the real owner of this landscape painting.

No matter how dissuaded the people of the Dongcheng Treasure Connoisseur Association are, if the owner of this painting agrees to verify the authenticity of this painting, then no matter how many people stop it, it is useless, after all, how to use this painting and how to do it are all qualified by Boss Zheng to decide.

"What do you mean by that?" Boss Zheng was also confused by Zhao Ming's question, he didn't know what was selling in this young man's gourd? But looking at Zhao Ming's firm eyes, he always felt that this matter was not so simple, perhaps......

It's impossible to say if the painting is really fake.

"I'll tell you so, if you say the results of the appraisal when you bought this painting...... Is it wrong in itself?" Zhao Ming continued to patiently explain to Boss Zheng, Zhao Ming knew in his heart that if he didn't convince Boss Zheng, I am afraid he would not be able to verify the authenticity of this painting.

"Then what do you mean, how do you want to verify its authenticity now?" Boss Zheng was a little confused about Zhao Ming's routine, the young man in front of him wanted to verify the authenticity of his landscape painting, he had to put it in water and soak it, Boss Zheng didn't dare to imagine it anyway.

"Is there only one way to soak it in water?" Boss Zheng was still discussing with Zhao Ming, in fact, Boss Zheng could completely ignore Zhao Ming, treat him like a madman, and let the security guards kick him out.

In this way, his face was saved, and this landscape painting did not have to be harmed in any way.

But Zhao Ming stood there, that confident aura, which made Boss Zheng a little uneasy, and what he heard in the past two days also proved that Zhao Ming has a unique vision in the treasure industry.

Boss Zheng muttered in his heart, maybe what the young man in front of him said was true.

If he said that he bought a fake and was deceived, this is something he can't bear anyway, and he hates others deceiving him more than his own face.

"Yes, there is only one way, so Boss Zheng asks you to think twice.

Even if you keep this complete landscape painting, even if you can't detect its authenticity with the naked eye now, then what if ten years later, your painting will be passed on to your children and grandchildren, and then technology will develop and you will find out that this painting is a fake, how can you ......?"

Zhao Ming didn't continue, because Zhao Ming knew that he had already said this, and it was useless to say more, now it was only up to Boss Zheng to think about it.

"If that's really the case......" I saw Boss Zheng slowly walking in front of the landscape painting, Boss Zheng put his hands on the landscape painting, carefully stroked the landscape painting, but did not feel a trace of abnormality.

Boss Zheng thought for a moment, then turned his head.

"I agree with you to verify the authenticity of this landscape painting. Boss Zheng said word by word, and the expression on his face slowly became resolute.

When Boss Zheng said this, the audience, whether it was those entrepreneurs or the Treasure Connoisseur Association, all exclaimed.

"Boss Zheng, don't be deceived by this kid, you must know that if this landscape painting is soaked in water, even if it is true......" One of the people from the Treasure Connoisseur Association looked excited, as if his own words were soaked in water, and tried his best to stop Boss Zheng.

"Yes, Boss Zheng, what if this kid makes a mistake in judgment? You must know that this landscape painting is Mr. Li Cheng's masterpiece, I am afraid that there is only this painting in this world, you must think twice." An entrepreneur next to him was also a boss Zheng who was dissuaded by the side, if Zhao Ming didn't guess wrong, that entrepreneur seemed to be Boss Wang who came to the treasure appraisal conference that day.

"Everyone, don't say it anymore, my decision has been made. But there's one thing we have to say. Boss Zheng paused. He looked into Zhao Ming's eyes.

"Young man, I believe in you so much that that's why I let you do this. I am completely sure of your appearance, but if this landscape painting is not as genuine as you say, how will you compensate me at that time?" Boss Zheng said sonorously, no wonder he is a famous entrepreneur in Dongcheng, when he encounters this kind of major event to make a decision, he has a cool head and a clear mind.

"I can't hide it from Boss Zheng, although I don't have any property, but I am sure that this painting is 100% fake, so I will guarantee my life!!" Zhao Ming saw that Boss Zheng was so serious, and he also pressed his life.

In fact, Zhao Ming also felt ridiculous in his heart, this landscape painting was originally fake, if it hadn't been stopped by those people from the Treasure Connoisseur Association in the audience, Zhao Ming would have soaked it in water and slapped them in the face.

But it is precisely because of these people's obstruction that Boss Zheng hesitates, but one thing is for sure, this landscape painting is absolutely and absolutely a fake.

"Young man, do you know why I have achieved so much today after so many years?" Boss Zheng heard that Zhao Ming was going to risk his life, only to see him frown, and then said to him suspiciously.

"The reason why I am where I am today is because I always believe in four words. Integrity is paramount. So, if the result is really not what you say, then I'm afraid you're really going to have to commit your life here. Boss Zheng could see that he was a very upright person, and Zhao Ming also nodded and agreed with Boss Zheng's statement.

"I also asked the staff to prepare a big basin of water for me, and I should put some baking soda in it. Zhao Ming didn't continue to talk nonsense with these people, he hurriedly ordered, and the staff asked them to help him prepare tools to verify the authenticity of landscape paintings.

After baking soda is added with water, the paper will become extremely soft, if this painting is really from the Song Dynasty, and in terms of papermaking at that time, the paper is very tough.

Because at that time, when papermaking was first invented, they had to use some plant fibers in water to make paper, so if the paper was soaked in water, it would not break at all.

But modern technology can't accomplish such an achievement, because it has to take into account the age of the paper at the same time, so it can't be done at all, and it won't break if it's soaked in water.

I saw that the staff responded to Zhao Ming's request, brought up a huge wooden basin, and then added some baking soda to it, at this time Zhao Ming looked at everyone.

I saw Zhao Ming rolling up his arms and sleeves to pick up the landscape painting, and at this time, Zhao Ming felt the aura on this painting again.

"I hope nothing goes wrong for a while, this time it's my life at stake. Zhao Ming prayed silently in his heart.
