Found 100 Million In My Rented Apartment

Chapter 1051 - 1051 Do You Really Think You're a God?

The private room was silent for a moment before Pang Daqian suddenly shouted.

Zheng Banqiao’s Bamboo Stone Painting was his proudest work in his collection.

If he wasn’t in urgent need of money, he would never take it out for auction.

But now, Ye Feng said that it was fake. One could imagine how furious he was.

Although Chen Qiushan did not agree with Ye Feng’s point of view, he was also very unhappy with Pang Daqian’s attitude. “Old Pang, Brother Ye was just joking. Why are you so agitated?”

Pang Daqian’s face was filled with indignation. “Are you kidding me? Who would joke about such a thing?”

Chen Qiushan wanted to continue explaining for Ye Feng.

But at this moment, Ye Feng added: “I am not joking, this painting is fake.”

Pang Daqian immediately looked at Chen Qiushan. “Old Chen, you heard him. He’s still spouting nonsense.”

“You said that this kid is very knowledgeable about antiques, so I brought it over for him to see. But isn’t he too arrogant?”

Chen Qiushan frowned. He looked at Ye Feng hurriedly. “Brother Ye, did you see wrongly?”

“This painting has been appraised by many experts. Be it the paper, the painting, the signature, or the seal, there are no problems. Everyone agrees that it’s authentic…”

Before he could finish, Pang Daqian interrupted him with a cold smile. “What do you mean he saw wrongly? He didn’t even look at it, right? He had only glanced at it, and he could tell if it was real or fake? Do you really think you’re a god?”

Ye Feng was busy eating earlier. He had indeed only taken a glance and immediately concluded that it was fake. It was indeed hard to believe.

“Since those experts think it’s authentic, why did you come to me?” Ye Feng did not stop eating. He replied indifferently.

Chen Qiushan was a little conflicted. He had absolute confidence in Ye Feng’s skills in antiques.

The antiques that he had entrusted him to auction were all the best of the best.

But this time, it was indeed difficult to convince him.

Whether it was Pang Daqian’s own experts or the appraisers at Sotheby’s, almost all of them were sure that it was authentic.

Even after carefully examining it, he felt that there was nothing wrong with it.

And Ye Feng had only taken a casual glance and determined that it was fake. He did not even give any explanation. This was hard to convince the crowd.

Pondering for a moment, he finally sat in front of Ye Feng and begged: “Brother Ye, please do me a favor and tell me what’s wrong with this painting?”

Pang Daqian rolled up the painting and sneered, “Old Chen, I don’t mean to criticize you, but you’ve been in the antique world for so many years. How could you be fooled by a young boy?”

Chen Qiushan ignored him, he only stared at Ye Feng.

Ye Feng saw his sincere attitude. He slowly put down his chopsticks. “For the sake of Brother Chen, I will say a few words. It’s up to you whether you want to listen or not.”

Chen Qiushan hurriedly nodded. “Go ahead.”

Ye Feng glanced at the painting again. “The method of making this fake painting is indeed very clever, it is difficult for ordinary people to discover the problem…”

Pang Daqian immediately sneered. “It’s very difficult for ordinary people to discover the problem, but you did. Isn’t that to say that you’re not an ordinary person?”

Ye Feng immediately shut up. He did not want to say anything more.

Chen Qiushan hurriedly continued, “But many experts have verified that the signature and seal on it are real. There are also many famous collectors’ seals on it. They are all real.”

Ye Feng smiled lightly. “That’s why I said that this is a very good imitation, because only the signature and seal are real. The rest are fake.”

Pang Daqian immediately burst into laughter. “Don’t you think that’s contradictory? What stamp was real and the rest were fake? It’s either real or fake. This is the first time I’ve heard of a painting being both real and fake.”

Chen Qiushan glared at him, before looking at Ye Feng again. “Brother Ye, I’m a little confused. What do you mean by the signature and seal being real, but the rest are fake?”

Ye Feng pursed his lips. “To put it simply, this painting was pieced together. Only the signature and seal were Zheng Banqiao’s own. The rest were pieced together.”

“Ah?”

Although Chen Qiushan found it unbelievable, he still took out a small magnifying glass and looked at the painting carefully.

Pang Daqian didn’t continue to mock him this time, and he also came forward curiously.

However, the two of them looked at the painting for a long time and could not figure out what it was.

Even under a magnifying glass, there were no signs of joining.

“Hmph, Old Chen, do you really believe this kid’s nonsense? Do you really think we are idiots who don’t know anything? If this painting was pieced together, how can there be no signs of it?”

Pang Daqian didn’t see any problem and continued to mock him.

Ye Feng could not be bothered to say another word. He continued to eat his food. He had already said what he needed to say. As for whether he listened or not, it was none of his business.

Chen Qiushan looked back at him. After pondering for a moment, he immediately took out his phone and contacted a few appraisers from Sotheby’s Auction House, asking them to come to the restaurant immediately.

If someone else had said this, he would have just treated it as a joke.

But since these words came from Ye Feng, he had to be careful.

Pang Daqian had completely lost his patience. “Old Chen, we’ve been old friends for many years. I only listened to this kid’s nonsense for so long because of you.”

“Give me a definite answer now. Are you going to take this order or not? If you don’t accept it, I’ll go to another auction house.”

Chen Qiushan quickly smiled apologetically. “Old Pang, don’t be impatient. My people will be here soon. We’ll appraise it one last time. If there’s no problem, I’ll arrange the auction for you immediately.”

Pang Daqian gritted his teeth. “Alright, for your sake, I’ll endure it one more time.”

“I’d like to see how someone’s face will be swollen after the final test results are out.”

Saying so, he glanced at Ye Feng.

Ye Feng only smiled and continued eating.

..

Chen Qiushan’s men arrived very quickly. There were five of them, all of them were old men in their fifties or sixties.

“I’m really sorry for making everyone come over so late at night. I’ll treat everyone to a meal after I’m done.”

Chen Qiushan cupped his hands in embarrassment.

One of them, an old man with a white goatee, looked puzzled. “Mr. Chen, hasn’t Mr. Pang’s painting been appraised?”

“Everyone agrees that it’s authentic. How else can we verify it?”

Before Chen Qiushan could say anything, Pang Daqian immediately said in a strange tone, “This Boss Ye said that this painting is fake. He wants to re-appraise it.”

That old man glanced at Ye Feng who was eating at the side. He frowned. “Fake? Impossible! We all agreed that it was Zheng Banqiao’s work, how could it be fake?”
