Yu Shen knew his own weight and looked gloomy. He was about to leave when someone behind him suddenly said, "Is this Yuan blue and white porcelain real? I heard that this kind of Yuan blue and white porcelain with portraits is very rare, with less than ten pieces in existence, and the whereabouts of each piece are very clear. Where did this Yuan blue and white porcelain with portraits in the Beijing Museum come from?"
After hearing these words, Yu Shen came to his senses. He was completely shocked by the preciousness of the Yuan blue and white porcelain portrait, but he did not think of looking at the origin of this Yuan blue and white porcelain.
Not only him, but others also started looking after hearing the hint, wanting to see who donated this Yuan blue and white porcelain, or through what channel the Beijing Museum obtained this Yuan blue and white porcelain.
But they looked at it for a long time and still couldn't figure it out. They only saw a card in the lower right corner that said: Donated by an anonymous person!
Anonymous donation!
When people saw this card, they couldn't help but talk about it.
Donate!
And it’s an anonymous donation!
Isn’t this news too explosive?
According to the current valuation, this piece of Yuan blue and white porcelain is worth at least 300 million yuan. If it meets a collector who truly likes Yuan blue and white porcelain, the price will be even higher.
So, who has the generosity to donate something worth 300 million yuan without any hesitation, and anonymously, with no intention of taking this opportunity to enhance his reputation.
Compared with that anonymous person, it is a bit disgraceful that Yu Shen caused such a big fuss by donating cultural relics worth 100 million yuan.
There's nothing wrong with you wanting to gain fame, but the way you eat is really ugly.
Duan Zhonglin saw everyone's reaction and immediately glanced at the person who had just spoken. The person rolled his eyes and said, "Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain worth at least 300 million? That's unlikely, right? Looking at Xia Country, who has the ability to donate such a precious cultural relic? Even if they wanted to donate, they would have to hold a press conference, right? Have you heard of anyone donating cultural relics to the Beijing Museum recently?"
The people around shook their heads. Although they were all from Beijing, they had not heard of anyone donating any precious cultural relics to the Beijing Museum in recent months.
The man continued, "That's right! I was here a month ago. At that time, the collection here was not large, and the value was not high. There was no Yuan blue and white porcelain, so now I doubt the origin of this Yuan blue and white porcelain, and even doubt its authenticity!"
A single stone stirs up a thousand ripples. These words immediately sparked heated discussions among people. Many people who claim to have unique vision began to observe carefully, wanting to confirm whether this Yuan blue and white porcelain is authentic.
Yu Shen's expression brightened when he saw that people's attention had shifted.
If it can be finally proved that this Yuan blue and white porcelain is a fake, then he can stand up straight.
The things collected in your Beijing museum are either worthless or fakes, and you have to rely on the cultural relics I brought to keep things looking good!
As long as this conclusion is reached, his reputation will definitely be further enhanced!
Of course, Duan Zhonglin's methods do not stop there. In order to maximize Yu Shen's value, he also specially arranged for a big shot in the antique world to come forward and speak.
"Mr. Wu, you're here too! Please take a look and see if this Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain is genuine."
Soon someone saw Mr. Wu, a big shot in the antique world, and hoped that Mr. Wu could stand up and say a few words.
Old Master Wu was naturally the helper that Duan Zhonglin had found. His reputation in the antique circle in Beijing was almost comparable to that of Dong Zhen. He usually received a lot of benefits from Duan Zhonglin, so he helped Duan Zhonglin with things.
In addition, he also had a selfish motive, that is, he also liked this Yuan blue and white porcelain!
After all, he is a big shot in the antique world, and his vision is far better than that of ordinary people. After his observation and identification, he can almost conclude that this Yuan blue and white porcelain is authentic, but Duan Zhonglin asked him to identify this Yuan blue and white porcelain as a fake, so he had to do so.
Moreover, as long as he could convince everyone that this Yuan blue and white porcelain was a fake, he could use his connections to buy the Yuan blue and white porcelain from Liu Song at a very low price for his collection, which meant he had earned 300 million yuan for nothing!
Of course he is happy with this kind of business that makes huge profits with no investment.
So, surrounded by the crowd, Mr. Wu pretended to observe for a long time, shook his head slightly and sighed.
The man who had just spoken saw Mr. Wu's action and hurriedly asked, "Mr. Wu, how is it? Is this Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain authentic?"
Mr. Wu showed an embarrassment. "Well, Director Liu is not here, so I can't say more."
Although he didn't say it explicitly, everyone could see what Mr. Wu meant: Mr. Wu was concerned about the reputation of Liu Song and the Beijing Museum, so even though he knew that this Yuan blue and white porcelain was a fake, he didn't want to say it directly.
Only by making such an attitude can people avoid thinking that Mr. Wu is doing things in an unkind way.
The person Duan Zhonglin had called in was specifically designed to handle this situation. He said again, "Mr. Wu, what's the problem? Director Liu is the director of the Beijing Museum. He's definitely fair and impartial. He won't have any objections to you just because you pointed out that this Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain is a fake."
"Besides, the Beijing Museum is the face of our capital. If something that is obviously a fake is treated as a treasure here, wouldn't it be a disgrace to our capital? Director Liu would also feel ashamed at that time, so you are doing this to help Director Liu."
"Yes, you are doing this to help Director Liu. I believe Director Liu doesn't want to see fakes in the Beijing Museum!"
The people around him immediately echoed and urged Mr. Wu to tell the truth.
