He originally planned to slap Hong Yu in the face in front of everyone, so that Hong Yu would know what a real treasure appraiser is.
Who knows, the competition hasn't even started yet.
Hong Yu was disrespectful to him one after another.
This undoubtedly violated his bottom line.
But as the young master of the Xu family, he has always been presented to the public as a humble gentleman.
In addition, he had some thoughts about Zhou Wanrou, so he was naturally embarrassed to come forward to deal with Hong Yu, for fear of causing Zhou Wanrou's dissatisfaction.
So, he gave Wu Qingfeng a look.
As his number one follower, Wu Qingfeng was the gunner for some matters where it was not convenient for him to step in.
The two have already formed a tacit understanding.
At this time, Wu Qingfeng reacted instantly. Without saying a word, he waved to the staff in the exhibition hall and said:
"What are you guys doing standing still? Someone is making trouble here and insulting Mr. Xu. I'll take it down immediately."
After a while, more than a dozen uniformed staff members surrounded Hong Yu.
"Let him kneel on the ground and kowtow to Mr. Xu to admit his mistake."
Wu Qingfeng shouted.
In the exhibition hall, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
"It's finished. This kid is probably finished."
Everyone looked at Hong Yu with eyes full of sympathy.
You kid was so arrogant just now that you didn't take Xu Shao seriously at all.
Do you know the consequences of offending Xu Shao this time?
"What do you want to do?"
Seeing that something was wrong, Zhou Wanrou stepped in front of Hong Yu before the staff rushed forward.
Wu Qingfeng said: "Ms. Zhou, please don't interfere in this matter today. It's not something you can control."
As he spoke, he pointed at Hong Yu, "It's strange that this guy doesn't know how high the sky is and dares to be disrespectful to Mr. Xu."
Zhou Wanrou asked on the spot: "Why is Xiaoyu disrespectful to Mr. Xu?"
Wu Qingfeng said: "Do I still need to say this?"
"Ms. Zhou, you must have heard it yourself just now. He dared to say that the three paintings and calligraphy collected by Mr. Xu were fake paintings, and also made a joke about Mr. Xu's poop. Isn't this disrespectful?"
Zhou Wanrou said: "What Xiaoyu said is correct. Mr. Xu's level of treasure appraisal is very high, but it is not impossible to collect fakes. Why is it disrespectful?"
"Many of you here are collectors, but who can guarantee that everything in their collection is authentic and not a single one is fake?"
"Even Mr. Xu, the famous Chinese treasure appraiser He Rongguang, would not dare to make such a guarantee, right?"
Zhou Wanrou looked at everyone present.
"What Miss Zhou said makes sense."
"Xu Shao's level of treasure appraisal is indeed worthy of being called a master in Jiangzhou, but no one is perfect, and there are always times when one has a discerning eye."
"In my opinion, we might as well ask this guy named Hong to explain in detail where these three paintings are fake."
In the hall, many people still supported Zhou Wanrou.
"Shut up, everyone. When did it become your turn to make irresponsible remarks about Mr. Xu?"
Wu Qingfeng realized that the public opinion was not favorable to him and immediately shouted out.
In an instant, those who supported Zhou Wanrou shut their mouths.
They just said a few fair words casually, and did not want to offend Xu Shaoan.
They are not fools. If they offend Xu Shaoan, they may not be able to survive in Jiangzhou's antique industry from now on.
"Wu Qingfeng, what do you mean? Doesn't what everyone said make sense? Why do you tell everyone to shut up?"
Zhou Wanrou asked in a deep voice: "Or is it that Mr. Xu himself is also afraid that the three paintings are fake and will ruin his reputation?"
Wu Qingfeng smiled: "Miss Zhou, do you think Mr. Xu is afraid?"
Zhou Wanrou said: "Since you are not afraid, why do you want to stop everyone from speaking justice?"
"And why did you rush to ask the staff to deal with Xiaoyu without waiting for Xiaoyu to explain why these three Tang Bohu calligraphy and paintings are fakes?"
"I......"
Wu Qingfeng's face turned red when asked, and he didn't know how to retort.
"Master Wu, tell everyone to step back."
At this time, Xu Shaoan spoke.
He knew very well that with Zhou Wanrou protecting Hong Yu, if he wanted to deal with Hong Yu, he couldn't use force.
It must be reasonable and well-founded.
Otherwise, Zhou Wanrou will be offended without saying anything.
Still can't convince the public.
Maybe, after today's incident, it will be reported that Xu Shaoan has collected three fake calligraphy and paintings of Tang Bohu. After being discovered, in order to preserve his reputation and not give anyone a chance to defend himself, he asked his men to deal with them first.
A meal.
He didn't want to hear such rumors that were not good for his reputation.
"Yes, Mr. Xu."
Wu Qingfeng nodded and waved to the staff in the exhibition hall.
The staff immediately stepped aside.
"Ms. Zhou, I listened to what you just said to the guys. It does make some sense."
Xu Shaoan looked at Zhou Wanrou and said with a gentle smile: "Just because those three Tang Bohu calligraphy and paintings are my collection, I can't allow any doubting voices to come out. No one can avoid such things as eye-catching."
Zhou Wanrou nodded and said: "Master Xu, you are still broad-minded."
Xu Shaoan waved his hand and smiled: "I can't say I'm broad-minded. I'm just telling the truth."
As he said that, he turned to look at Hong Yu: "Mr. Hong, since you said that my three calligraphy and paintings of Tang Bohu are fake, you must have your own basis. You might as well tell your basis so that I and everyone can understand.
Listen to it and see if it makes sense."
"but......"
He suddenly changed the subject, "I've said ugly things before. If you can't say something ugly and talk nonsense here and tarnish my reputation, you must bow to me three times in public and apologize. However,
Let’s divide it?”
Hong Yu shrugged and said, "Of course it's not too much."
"But, in the end, as I said, these three paintings are all fake. Shouldn't Mr. Xu also apologize to everyone present today?"
"After all, today's treasure appraisal exchange meeting is held under the leadership of the Xu family. As the young master of the Xu family, Mr. Xu brings three fakes to the exhibition. Isn't it a bit too casual?"
Unexpectedly, Hong Yu would join his army. Xu Shaoan's face darkened and he replied:
"If my calligraphy and painting are fake, I don't need Mr. Hong to point it out. I will also apologize to all the friends who came here to participate in the exchange meeting today."
"Okay, now let's ask Mr. Hong to start explaining."
Xu Shaoan couldn't wait to see Hong Yu bend down and apologize to him.
He has great confidence in the three paintings and calligraphy of Tang Bohu in his collection, and they are undoubtedly genuine.
"Xiaoyu, come on, I support you."
At the same time, Zhou Wanrou encouraged Hong Yu in his ear.
As for why she has so much confidence in Hong Yu, she herself doesn't know the reason.
In the hall, everyone's eyes were basically focused on Hong Yu.
Hong Yu pointed to the three calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall and said lightly: "I think everyone knows what era Tang Bohu is from, right?"
"Of course it's clear. Tang Bohu was one of the four great talents in the Jiangnan area of the Ming Dynasty. Who doesn't know this?"
In the hall, someone answered.
Wu Qingfeng interrupted: "Hong, can you please stop asking these questions that even fools know and talk about the key points?"
Hong Yu shrugged and said, "That's the point."
Is this the point?
Everyone at the scene frowned, obviously not understanding the meaning of Hong Yu's words.
Hong Yu then added: "Everyone must be familiar with the rice paper used for painting in the Ming Dynasty, right? It is generally yellowish in color, relatively soft, and if you look closely, there are faint lines arranged vertically and horizontally."
"But look at it, do these three paintings have these characteristics?"
After hearing this, everyone walked closer to the three calligraphy and paintings of Tang Bohu on the wall and began to observe them carefully.
After a thorough observation.
Everyone said:
"The color is slightly yellowish, and the vertical and horizontal lines are clearly visible, which is very consistent with the characteristics of Ming Dynasty rice paper."
"Young man, what do you want to express?"
Wu Qingfeng immediately mocked Hong Yu: "Boy, are you dazzled? You didn't see clearly the age of the rice paper, so you just said the three paintings are fake?"
"I thought you were so capable, but you're actually at this level?"
Many rich second generation people sneered.
"Oh, I think this stupid boy is going to lose. He really has no ability at all. He just relies on his mouth."
In the hall, many people thought that Hong Yu could not provide evidence that the three calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall were fake and were looking for excuses.
Xu Shaoan also had a faint smile of disdain on his lips.
The rice paper that Hong Yu mentioned was something he had personally appraised before buying these three calligraphy and paintings.
It is definitely rice paper from the Ming Dynasty.
'It is simply naive to think that my calligraphy and painting are fake because the rice paper does not match the era.'
Xu Shaoan said secretly.
Zhou Wanrou looked at Hong Yu in confusion. She didn't understand what Hong Yu meant.
Even she, who is not very proficient in calligraphy and painting, just noticed that the rice paper used in the three paintings was from the Ming Dynasty. It was impossible for Hong Yu not to notice it.
Listening to the sarcasm at the scene, Hong Yu didn't care at all and said loudly: "Everyone, don't deny me in a hurry. You will know after you see it."
After saying that, Hong Yu suddenly raised his hand and punched open the glass frame on the wall.
Seeing this, everyone in the exhibition hall was frightened.
Everyone opened their mouths in shock.
Although Tang Bohu's calligraphy and paintings are not priceless, they are still of great collection value. Just one piece is worth tens of millions.
What's more, these three paintings are still the best among Tang Bohu's calligraphy and paintings. Together, they are worth more than 50 million.
If this kid punches the calligraphy and painting, the damage will be huge.
"You brat, what are you doing?"
Xu Shaoan was also a little uneasy, and his name for Hong Yu changed.
These three calligraphy and paintings are his favorite works.
He immediately waved to the staff behind him and said: "Come here, come quickly and control this lunatic."
In an instant, the staff who had retreated rushed towards Hong Yu again.
"Everyone, stop right there."
Zhou Wanrou stopped in front of Hong Yu again, "Mr. Xu, if the calligraphy and painting are damaged, I will pay for it, but please let Mr. Hong finish his words first."
Seeing Zhou Wanrou defending Hong Yu like this, Xu Shaoan felt increasingly unhappy, but on the surface he still said:
"Miss Zhou, since you said so, I will give you face once."
"However, if this guy can't say anything anymore, I hope you won't continue to protect him."
Zhou Wanrou nodded and said: "Young Master Xu, don't worry. If Xiaoyu really wronged you this time, I will be the first to apologize to you."
"hope so."
Xu Shaoan said, turning to look at Hong Yu: "Boy, I'll give you one last chance."
Hong Yu took out one of Tang Bohu's calligraphy and paintings from the glass frame and said to the crowd again:
"Everyone, come and take a look at the reverse side of this calligraphy and painting."
Hong Yu showed the reverse side of the calligraphy and painting in front of everyone at the scene.
The flip side?
Everyone looked startled when they heard this.
They have never thought about the opposite.
Out of curiosity, everyone came closer to Hong Yu and looked at the reverse side of the calligraphy and painting in Hong Yu's hands.
It doesn't matter if you look at it, everyone's eyes widened in shock.
"It seems like there are no traces at all?"
Someone suddenly screamed.
"Yes, it's really gone. What's going on? Is it really a fake?"
Someone responded.
Wu Qingfeng and other second-generation rich people were dumbfounded.
They are young masters. Although their study of calligraphy and painting is not deep, they still know the most basic common sense issues through following Xu Shaoan.
Ming Dynasty rice paper has vertical and horizontal lines on both sides, which is a major feature and was caused by the craftsmanship at that time.
If there are no lines, that means the rice paper is not from the Ming Dynasty.
Since it is not from the Ming Dynasty, then the calligraphy and painting of Tang Bohu are naturally fake.
It can't be a painting made by Tang Bohu who traveled to other dynasties, right?
Xu Shaoan stood calmly at a distance, wanting to see Hong Yu make a fool of himself next.
At this time, I was a little panicked.
He walked quickly towards Hong Yu and looked at the calligraphy and painting in Hong Yu's hand with wide eyes.
