Chapter 167 The Most Valuable Is the Author

Pei Chen came to the location of the survival team and asked:
"Old Qin, what do you want from me?"

"It's not me looking for you, it's sister Jian Xiao looking for you, you sit down first and let her talk to you slowly."

Jian Xiao didn't directly explain the painting, because she wasn't sure if there was any deal reached between Pei Chen and Shen's Auction House.

So, she asked sideways:
"I heard from Zhou Xiyue that the reputation of Shen's Auction House is very good. Any auction has to be appraised by 18 masters. It has always been well-known."

"So trustworthy, Mr. Pei must have cooperated with Shen's many times, right?"

Pei Chen didn't expect that Jian Xiao would ask this question, but for Qin Zhan's sake, he answered in detail:
"That's not it, it's the first time I've worked with Shen."

"I used to be active in the south, and the auction houses I looked for were also local in the south. It was only when I returned to the imperial capital this time that I found Mrs. Shen."

"However, their reputation is indeed good, and the 18 appraisers are also true. I was also present when the appraisal was done."

When Jian Xiao heard this, she understood in her heart——

For the first cooperation, when both parties do not understand, there will not be too much interest involved.

Then, the fact that the two paintings are different can only be a unilateral act of Shen's Auction House and has nothing to do with Pei Chen.

"Mr. Pei, if I say that there is something wrong with the painting on the stage, do you believe it?" Jian Xiao asked.

Pei Chen glanced at her in surprise, and then carefully looked at the paintings on the stands:

"Miss Jian, although you know something about the antique circle, don't make false statements, right? I'm still a little discerning, and the painting on the stage is clearly an authentic work from the Yong'an period of the Dayin Dynasty."

After hearing this, Jian Xiao immediately smiled, and she nodded:
"It is indeed an authentic work from the Yong'an period of the Dayin Dynasty, but it is not the original work of Master Wang Chuanshui."

"Look carefully at the paper of that painting. Under the illumination of the overhead lights, there will be a cloud pattern looming in the upper right corner. If I read correctly, it is the cloud pattern paper that will only appear in Yong'an 20 years ago."

"As far as I know, the output of that kind of paper is extremely small, and only a few nobles can use it."

"As for Master Wang Chuanshui, he was a commoner, and he died in Yong'an ten years ago."

"The Picture of Spring Rain on Begonias is said to have been created by Master Wang Chuanshui in the ninth year of Yong'an. It was his last work. How could it use the cloud-patterned paper that only appeared in Yong'an for 20 years?"

When Jian Xiao said this, Pei Chen was stunned.

He didn't expect that a cloud pattern hidden in the paper and cut off in half would become a flaw in distinguishing real and fake paintings.

Pei Chen did have some good eyesight, he could tell that this painting was an authentic painting thousands of years ago.

But ignore the subtleties of the paper.

He even began to doubt himself:

"Is this the "Begonia Spring Rain Picture" I brought back?"

"No." Jian Xiao shook her head directly, "We saw it in the storage room before, that one is real, and this one was replaced."

Pei Chen was a little puzzled:

"Then only Shen's Auction House has the time and opportunity to do this kind of thing, but why do they?"

"They are also authentic works of the Dayin Dynasty, but this one is only ten years late, and it is still an antique. Why did they make such a move?"

After hearing this, Jian Xiao laughed:
"This is very different!"

"If it's an object like porcelain and jade, as long as it's produced around the same time and in good condition, it can be sold at a similar price."

"But for antiques like calligraphy and painting, the real value is the author."

"Master Wang Chuanshui is very famous, but who knows who this later imitator is? No matter how much he imitates, he is not Master Wang Chuanshui himself."

"It's like a fan wants Brother Zhan's signature, but a dick imitates Brother Zhan's signature, sells it to fans, and charges the same price, can it be the same?"

After hearing this, Pei Chen took it into consideration:
There is still a big difference between Qin Yingdi's autographed photo and Diao Si's fake autographed photo.

"Miss Jian, thank you for reminding me." Pei Chen said, "I didn't expect that I trusted the Shen family and handed over the lot to them, and they would play tricks on me."

After saying this, Pei Chen suddenly seemed to remember something:
If changing his paintings this time was intentional, what about before?Has Shen's Auction House used the same method to exchange other people's things?

He glanced at the live camera, stood up, and walked towards the stage.
