How to be financially free

Chapter 344 is up for debate
"You mean this copybook of mine is a fake?" Boss Sun looked serious and began to feel that Mr. Xu was lying a little.

"This Mr. Xu, let's talk about it. This work has been appraised by more than one expert. It is a real work. It is a nail in the wall. You just took a look and said it is fake. Are you a little bit nonsense?"

Boss Sun really couldn't hold back anymore.

However, he still held back, after all, the identity of the visitor was not simple, and he couldn't afford to offend Mr. Chang with his apparent identity, let alone this young man who seemed to be even more difficult.

He has never tried to convince others with reason like today. If it were someone else, he would have to teach them how to behave.

Xu Wen had a calm expression and listened to him.

This is the case with celebrity calligraphy and painting, especially modern celebrity calligraphy and painting. If you insist on telling the truth, the only way is to look at the appraiser's own level and make a subjective judgment.

Especially when there are no obvious flaws in the works, and the style of writing habits is almost the same everywhere, and there are no major problems.

Whether it is true or false can only be said with one mouth.

The owner of this mouth has a high status and a great reputation, so what he says is credible.

If it is an unknown person, even if what is said is the truth, it may be questionable.

Take the Wen Zhengming handwriting in front of me as an example, the material, writing style, including signature, are almost the same as Wen Zhengming's authentic handwriting, and there is even no difference at all.

Anyone who reads such a word will think it is true.

Why?You can't tell a false reason!
However, in Xu Wen's eyes, there is a big problem with this painting.

Even so, it is almost seamless.

The material of the copybook is from the Ming Dynasty, and the writing is also copied by the contemporaries. The level of the copybook is also quite high, almost watertight, and the fake ones are confused with the real ones.

It can even be said that this work, you can say it is an antique, or even a work of art.

However, it is indeed not the authentic work of Wen Zhengming.

If the authenticity is judged by whether it is authentic, then it is a fake.

However, only Xu Wen can know this fact.

After all, there is a difference in the entire writing between the original writer and the imitator, even if the difference is small, it still exists.

Others couldn't grasp this difference, but Xu Wen could.

The only problem is that even if Xu Wen speaks out about this difference, no one will be able to see it, and even if they can't see it, it is naturally hard to be convincing.

Really thankless.

After Boss Sun finished speaking, he took out the scroll and spread it on the desk.

He casually looked at Xu Wen and questioned Xu Wen a little unconvinced.

"Excuse me, Mr. Xu, you say that this work is fake, do you have relevant evidence? My painting was personally checked by the teacher of the Haicheng Painting and Calligraphy Association, and with the unanimous judgment of several experts in the circle, it is confirmed that it is true. Is it undoubtedly authentic, or do you think that your level is higher than these teachers?"

For the other works, Xu Wen could bear it if he said they were fakes. After all, they could vaguely detect the wrong details, so they simply kept silent.

But this Wen Zhengming's authentic work cannot be recognized in this way.

The identification of a group of authoritative people gave him the confidence to refuse to admit it.

He was confident it was genuine.

Moreover, Boss Sun made up his mind that even if Mr. Xu could tell some so-called reasons, he would not admit it.

Who wouldn't speak empty words?
All eyes were on Xu Wen, wanting to see what he would say next.

Xu Wenlue pondered for a moment, then looked at Chang'e.

"Mr. Chang, regarding this work, I can only say that it is not an authentic work, but it can be considered a fine work."

Chang E was full of doubts, not quite understanding what Xu Wen meant.

"That is to say, this is a copy copied by Wen Zhengming's contemporary calligrapher. From the perspective of the work, it is a high-quality work, but from the perspective of whether it is authentic, it is a fake." Xu Wen explained.

Hearing Xu Wen's explanation, Chang E suddenly understood the whole story.

In short, this calligraphy is indeed an antique, but it is not the authentic work of Wen Zhengming.

Seeing Xu Wen's vague explanation, Boss Sun was naturally unwilling to confirm this conclusion.

"Mr. Xu, you haven't given a specific reason. You said that this handwriting is not authentic. There must be a reason, right? If you can indeed point out convincing details, I will accept it willingly."

"You can only feel it, but you can't talk about it." Xu Wen didn't bother to argue with the shopkeeper whether it was correct or not, and there was no need to convince others with reasoning.

The only thing he has to do is to get Chang'e to agree with this statement.

Xu Wen looked at Chang E.

"Mr. Chang, it's okay to give this calligraphy as an antique, but it's not appropriate to give it as an authentic work by Wen Zhengming."

"I understand." Chang'e nodded, "Of course I want to present the original work."

Chang'e's tone was affirmative.

Xu Wen looked at Chang'e, from which he read trust, conviction, and firmness.

"If Mr. Chang is trustworthy, let's go out again, maybe there will be some surprises." Xu Wen suggested.

After all, the purpose of his coming was not to help Chang'e solve her troubles, but to help her choose the calligraphy and painting works to give as gifts.

"That's good." For Xu Wen's suggestion, Chang E obeyed, almost giving Xu Wen full trust.

Boss Sun failed to get a reason to convince him, and seeing Xu Wen's ambiguous expression, he mistakenly thought that Xu Wen was at a loss for words, and he was going to pursue the victory and win the round.

But, fortunately, his brain is still clear-headed. It is best not to do such things that are cheap and good-looking, otherwise, a car rollover is just around the corner.

Boss Sun endured it and chose to remain silent.

Before leaving the store, Chang E looked back at Boss Sun, and said calmly, "Boss Sun, I haven't finished asking about this matter yet. I'll give you some more time, and you can see how to solve it."

From the beginning to the end, Chang'e was like a queen, firmly suppressing the other side.

Boss Sun's expression moved, and he wanted to say something, but he just endured it. This kind of opportunity that seemed to be able to turn defeat into victory, but he suppressed it due to various reasons, was really aggrieved.

Facing Chang E's gaze, Boss Sun could only give a wry smile and cupped his hands.

"You two go slowly."

Chang E closely followed Xu Wen's footsteps, and left without looking back.

The two walked on the streets of Antique Street. Apart from small calligraphy and painting shops on both sides of the street, there were shops with open-air stalls. Under the sun, they moved their horses and sat beside the stalls, waiting boredly for the customers who came to the door.

Adhering to the principle that those who are predestined will ask questions, these stall owners kept silent, did not sell, and let customers choose by themselves.

After selection, inquiry, negotiation, and final transaction.

There are also strange things on the stalls.

Ancient coins, calligraphy and paintings of famous people, all kinds of antiques are available. As for the authenticity, you have to rely on your own pair of discerning eyes to identify it.

Whether it is true or not depends on strength and luck.

It is impossible not to slaughter customers, and this is also a game between buyers and sellers.
