Seeing that Wang Wangshui didn't look very convinced, Lin Han continued.

"Boss Wang's brushstrokes are actually very similar to Xuande's in terms of verve, atmosphere, and style. They are even more Xuande-like than Xuande's!"

Wang Wangshui nodded and said: "My brother's painting skills are also among the best in China. It is easy for him to imitate Xuande."

"Because of this, the flaw was revealed!"

"Oh?" Wang Wangshui looked at Lin Han in surprise.

You know, this painting looks even more like the real thing than the real thing.

No matter whether it is an identification expert or a special identification instrument, it is impossible to tell that it is a fake.

The rice paper and old ink are both authentic products that they bought at the auction house.

My elder brother Wang Wangshan knows all about the painters of the Ming Dynasty and he can imitate any famous painter.

If it is a famous artist, the imitation will be even more similar.

Because they had this confidence, they bought Ming Dynasty Xuan paper.

This painting had several opportunities to be published.

However, Wang Wangshui was too timid, and in those two years the authorities had stepped up their crackdown on counterfeit Ming Dynasty paintings.

The sale of paintings was delayed.

Now, he needs to change his shop due to poor business, but he doesn't want his paintings to rot at home, so he entrusts Jin Lianzi to sell his paintings.

As for what Jin Lianzi said at the beginning, that the boss had family changes, those were all excuses.

The hope he placed on this painting made Wang Wangshui eager to know where the flaw was.

"The flaw is here..."

Lin Han pointed at the stamp on the painting.

"What's wrong with stamping?"

The three of them leaned over and looked at the dark red seal.

The seal has almost no flaws, and the ink used is also very sophisticated, making it look ancient and remote.

"All ancient seals, especially those of painters who often paint and stamp, will have some wear and tear. Some are covered by ink, and some traces will be missing. But this one..."

Wang Wangshui took a deep breath and said, "The seal is too new?"

"Yes, it must have been newly carved, and it has not been aged, so there are flaws when it is covered."

This…this…

After hearing this, Wang Wangshui's legs went weak and he could hardly stand.

Fortunately, I was leaning against the counter and was able to support myself with my hands, so I managed to stand.

"So this painting is worthless?"

His face turned pale, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Lin Han was full of helplessness and unwillingness.

Unexpectedly, Lin Han shook his head.

"Brother Lin Han, what do you mean? Is this painting still valuable?"

Lin Han nodded: "Your brother is a famous artist. Even if he sells his own paintings, the price is about 200,000 or 300,000. Add this Ming Dynasty rice paper and old ink, and this painting is conservatively estimated to be around 800,000."

"Eight hundred thousand?"

Wang Wangshui's mechanical repetition.

This figure is quite fair, but it is still far from the hole he made from poor management and his unrealistic fantasies.

Lin Han finally said: "I can give you a maximum of 900,000 for this painting, and the remaining 100,000 is the transfer fee. After all, you have invested a lot of effort in this store, and I like the decoration very much."

this……

Wang Wangshui was a little hesitant.

Jin Lianzi whispered, "Boss, 90 is fine! We will never sell this painting as a real one in the future. Just accept it!"

Wang Wangshui thought for a while, then gritted his teeth and stamped his feet and said:

"90 is 90! But brother Lin Han, I want cash... and my brother's copy of the painting..."

Lin Han naturally knew what he meant: "Don't worry, your brother is well-known, I won't tell anyone."

Wang Wangshui was greatly shocked.

"Brother Lin Han, it seems that you have a wide range of interests. Not only do you study antiques, you also know a lot about my brother's paintings!"

After the deal was done, Lin Han finally revealed the truth: "Actually, I don't really understand your brother's painting style, but... the only people who can imitate a painting so closely and at such a high level are people from Qi and Lu!"

"Qi and Lu are a land of etiquette and have a long history of painting, so there are countless famous painters. I also heard this big brother call you Boss Wang, so I guessed it!"

Wang Wangshui suddenly realized.

However, he was convinced.

Lin Han had good reasons and arguments, and after discovering that it was a fake, he did not lower the price or get angry, and even gave an extra profit of 100,000.

Wang Wangshui was grateful and didn't want the remaining two months' rent, so he directly gave it to Lin Han.

Lin Han made the deal directly with the landlord and was able to use the apartment for two months for free.

This deal is a win-win for everyone.

After a while, the funds that Lin Han gave to Wang Wangshui arrived, and the ancient painting returned to Lin Han.

After seeing them off, Lin Han and Shen Nianyi returned to the store.

From the time Lin Han decided to make the deal until now, Shen Nianyi couldn't figure out why he wanted to see this painting.

Lin Han was lucky enough to get the Duan inkstone this morning.

The chicken heart bowl was even more of a bargain, and the profit involved may be nearly 100 million yuan.

But even so, you shouldn't buy a fake painting!

While collecting the painting, Shen Nianyi asked Lin Han what he was thinking to spend so much money on a fake painting.

Lin Han disagreed: "Then tell me, what is the difference between this painting and the real one?"

Shen Nianyi was stunned. Indeed, except for the flaw in the seal, this painting was no different from the real one.

The paper is Xuan paper from the Ming Dynasty, and the ink is old ink, even better than the ink used in real paintings.

The painting techniques, as well as the artistic conception and atmosphere involved, are absolutely at the master's level.

But, even so, Shen Nianyi still insisted: "What is true is true, and what is false can never be true!"

Lin Han waved his hand: "Miss, that is hundreds of years old. We are opening the door to do business. We not only want to sell antiques, but also valuable things. This painting is valuable!"

He continued to explain: "Let's not talk about the Ming Dynasty rice paper and ancient ink, let's talk about Wang Wangshan. His painting attainments are definitely not low. This painting...

Even if I lose, it won’t be much, and I believe I will definitely make money!”

His words shocked Shen Nianyi as much as an earthquake.

She has always believed that antique shops sell antiques.

Anything that is fake is worthless.

But according to Lin Han’s point of view...the business they want to do is valuable things, not just antiques!

Shen Nianyi intuitively felt that Lin Han was right.

Realizing this, Shen Nianyi looked at Lin Han with even more passion.

What kind of person is this man?

Golden eyes can tell whether something is real or fake at a glance.

A master negotiator, he never fails to get what he wants.

Be able to tolerate, and even if you find the other person's shortcomings, you still have compassion and remain neither arrogant nor impatient.

But I...

He was able to gain a foothold in this industry only because his family was rich and his grandfather was influential.

"Lin Han, let me do it!"

Thinking of this, Shen Nianyi snatched the rag from Lin Han's hand, threw it into the sink skillfully, and started wiping it around.

"You are a young lady, and you have to do this cleaning job for me. I can't bear it!"

Shen Nianyi gave him a reproachful look: "Then remember to repay me!"

"Promise yourself to me?"

Shen Nianyi pouted: "You wish!"
