"Who the hell are you?" Zhang Kentao was more and more upset with Yang Ming. "Do you think it is fake just because you say it is fake? Well, then you tell me. Why is this vase fake? Since you say it is fake, then show me the evidence! "
In fact, this vase was indeed fake, but it was too realistic. Zhang Kentao took this fake vase to a very authoritative institution to identify it, and the answers he got were ambiguous. Moreover, this vase was not bought at an auction in the United Kingdom, but it cost three million pounds. It was just that the money was used to hire a professional counterfeiter.
Before coming, Zhang Kentao carefully analyzed Huang Rongjin's mentality. The final conclusion was that the possibility of Huang Rongjin saying that this vase was real was higher.
Although this vase was very similar to a real one, it was still fake after all. Zhang Kentao naturally had a way to distinguish it. At that time, Huang Rongjin's face would be ruined.
Using three million pounds to make a fake vase just to embarrass Huang Rongjin, the price was indeed a bit high. However, in the eyes of Zhang Kentao, a rich young master, this money was nothing. Compared to making Huang Rongjin lower his head, this money was still worth it.
However, even if Huang Rongjin said that this vase was fake, he would not admit it. He would say that the vase was real and let Huang Rongjin show evidence that the vase was fake. However, in that case, it was obviously different to let others show evidence than to directly show evidence. It was much stronger to show evidence than to let others show evidence.
However, if this situation really happened, then there was no other way. He would insist that the vase was real. If Huang Rongjin said that it was fake, he had to show evidence, right? Zhang Kentao did not believe that Huang Rongjin could find any strong evidence.
But even so, he couldn't say that this vase was real evidence. Then, he would not achieve the purpose of humiliating Huang Rongjin. So when Huang Rongjin said that this vase was real, Zhang Kentao was very excited, but he did not expect Yang Ming to interfere and destroy the previous advantage.
"What if I take out evidence?" Yang Ming asked calmly with a smile.
"What if you can't produce evidence?" Zhang Kentao asked.
"If I can't produce evidence, I'll eat this vase." Yang Ming pointed at the vase.
"Ha! Sure! " Zhang Kentao was unhappy with Yang Ming. Since Yang Ming was looking for trouble, then he couldn't blame Zhang Kentao. So, Zhang Kentao said, "If you take out the evidence, I will eat this vase!"
Yang Ming nodded and didn't say anything. Instead, he suddenly reached out and knocked over the vase on the table.
"Pa!" The vase was suddenly smashed into pieces, breaking into pieces.
"What are you doing!" Zhang Kentao was shocked, and then angrily stared at Yang Ming: "Why did you break my vase? Aren't you being too arrogant? "
Seeing that the master was angry, the two followers behind Zhang Kentao immediately rushed to Yang Ming. They wanted to capture Yang Ming. They didn't dare to make a move on Huang Rongjin, but they didn't have so many scruples about Yang Ming. For this person who ruined the master's plan, they naturally had to teach him a lesson.
These two people just came to Yang Ming's side. Just as they were about to reach out and grab Yang Ming, they were slapped by Yang Ming. They were seeing stars. "Is there a place for you two to be cocky here?" After that, he turned to Zhang Kentao and said, "Your two followers are too unruly. I'll teach them a lesson for you!"
Yang Ming's two slaps were a lot of strength. In an instant, the two people's faces were beaten into steamed buns. They were dizzy and almost fell. It was obviously impossible to deal with Yang Ming again.
Zhang Kentao saw that his men were beaten. Although he was angry, he had nothing to say! Yang Ming was indeed right. He didn't order his men to teach Yang Ming a lesson, so he had to suffer this loss.
But the matter of Yang Ming breaking his vase must be mentioned. "Hmph, thank you for your trouble. But my vase was broken by you. What should I do? This was bought for three million pounds! "
Even Huang Rongjin was inexplicably surprised. He didn't know what Yang Ming was doing. Why did he suddenly smash the vase? As he was puzzled, he suddenly saw Yang Ming give him a look that said, "Don't be impatient." Huang Rongjin swallowed the words he wanted to say and quietly watched the development of the matter.
Yang Ming didn't answer Zhang Kentao's words. Instead, he bent down and picked up one of the pieces from the pile of vase fragments. Then, he put it on the table and said to Zhang Kentao with a smile, "This is my evidence!"
Zhang Kentao's face suddenly became pale! He didn't expect that Yang Ming would actually discover the secret of this vase. Logically speaking, it was impossible!
However, regardless of whether he believed it or not, the facts were in front of him! Yang Ming took out his evidence!
At the moment when Yang Ming put the fragments of the vase on the table, everyone's eyes followed Yang Ming's hand and focused on the fragments of the vase. They saw that on the fragments of the vase, a few words were clearly written in graphite – Hidden Swordsman, copied in London in 2009.
This sentence naturally couldn't be written by the people of the Ming Dynasty. At least the people of the Ming Dynasty didn't know where London was, unless someone traveled through time, but this was basically impossible.
Especially the last two words, "copied," which meant that this vase was undoubtedly a fake.
"I don't know. Is this considered evidence?" Yang Ming pointed to the fragments of the vase on the table and asked Zhang Kentao.
"This …" Zhang Kentao was suddenly embarrassed on the spot and couldn't speak. Just now, he swore that this vase was real. Now, he really lifted a rock and smashed it on his own feet.
Originally, the biggest secret of this vase was that Zhang Kentao intended to use it to deal with Huang Rongjin. If he said that the vase was real, then he would smash the vase on the spot and show the handwriting inside to Huang Rongjin. But now, he didn't use it, but it was used by others to deal with him.
Huang Rongjin didn't expect the final result to be like this. He couldn't help but like and admire Yang Ming. It seemed that his brother-in-law was indeed a strong person! Now, Huang Rongjin's face had been earned enough, and Zhang Kentao was already very embarrassed. Huang Rongjin didn't want to push too much. After all, the relationship between the two families was there.
This was also related to Huang Rongjin's character. He was more generous. If it were replaced by Zhang Kentao, he would never let Huang Rongjin go so easily.
"Well, eat the vase. I think we should forget about it!" Huang Rongjin laughed and mediated. "But, Brother Kentao, next time you buy something, you have to open your eyes. Don't be cheated again."
Zhang Kentao lowered his head and couldn't speak. He had nothing to say. At this point, it would be shameful to say another word.
"However, I think this vase is quite exquisite. It is not a loss to spend three million yuan …" Huang Rongjin smiled. "Since the vase is broken, then I will pay for the vase!"
"No need. This money doesn't matter." Zhang Kentao shook his head and said with some frustration, "Today, I have learned a lot. I will leave now!"
After saying that, he quickly left the villa with his two followers who were still in a daze. After they all left, Huang Rongjin ordered the people to clean up the fragments of the vase, and then patted Yang Ming's shoulder. "I didn't expect it. I just thought you were a gambling master. Why? Are you also very accomplished in appreciating antiques? "
"I can't say that. My godfather is Liu Weishan. When I was with him, I learned some knowledge from what I heard and saw!" Yang Ming had to push his godfather out. Otherwise, it was really hard to explain.
"Ah! Your godfather is actually Liu Weishan! "Huang Rongjin was surprised and said," I also bought a piece of jade carved by him! "
"Hehe, is it the Hong Kong auction?" Yang Ming smiled. "I also went that time."
"What a coincidence." Huang Rongjin nodded with emotion, and then asked curiously, "Then how are you sure that there is forged information in this porcelain?"
"This … actually, I don't know." Yang Ming naturally couldn't say that he saw it directly with his special ability, but he had just thought of an excuse, so he said, "I just like to observe people's expressions. When you just said that this vase was real, I found that Zhang Kentao's eyes suddenly lit up, so I felt that there must be a problem with this vase, so I interrupted your words and said that the vase was fake! Sure enough, the moment I said that the vase was fake, I saw Zhang Kentao's expression become very ugly for a moment. Although he quickly returned to normal, I still realized that I may have said what was in his heart. As for how I knew that the secret of this vase was inside, it could only be said that it was a gamble. Because I once heard from my godfather that there was a person called the Hidden Swordsman who was very proficient in making fake antiques. However, when he made fake antiques, he would write his name inside the antique to show the difference between it and the real thing. So at that time, I suddenly thought of this point, so I broke the vase. But even if my guess is wrong, then it's nothing. It's just more than three million pounds. I can still afford to pay for this. "
Everyone had an expression of understanding, but they admired Yang Ming's decisiveness. He dared to take the risk of breaking the vase to verify his idea.
In Huang Rongjin's heart, he favored Yang Ming even more. He also supported the matter between him and his little sister, Huang Lele. Such a talent was really rare.
"Well, everyone, let's disperse. I have prepared a sumptuous dinner for everyone. Let's start the party. Everyone, please!" Huang Rongjin announced to everyone after the servant cleaned up the fragments of the vase on the ground.
