C229 Strength Penetrating the Paper Back

Xiao Chen could tell what was on Jian Shi's mind, so he said, "Mr Jian, don't worry. You will definitely make a fortune by buying this word. Just get someone to bring you a cup of water. Cold water will do."

Jian Shi saw that Xiao Chen had spoken, so he quickly ordered someone to bring a few large glasses of water over.

"Mr. Xiao, the water is here. What are you going to do with it?" Jian Shi stood up and handed the glass of water to him.

Because Jian Shi was also a VIP of the auction, his and Xiao Chen's seats were quite spacious. There were also various wooden platforms in front of them.

Therefore, he could basically do whatever he wanted here.

Of course, these were some serious matters. No one would want to do anything improper in this auction house.

Just like that, Xiao Chen took out the word, took out a cup of water, and poured it on the word.

This time, not only was Jian Shi dumbfounded, but the other onlookers were also dumbfounded.

Chu Yuv, on the other hand, laughed loudly and ridiculed.

"This man is truly a madman. He bought a piece of calligraphy and then ruined it. I really admire him, but I feel that his actions are still very stupid."

Although the others didn't say anything, it was naturally because they wanted to give Jian Shi face.

Jian Shi was also confused. He didn't know what Xiao Chen was trying to do.

However, Xiao Chen didn't say anything. He took another glass of water and poured it all on the paper.

"Mr. Xiao, what are you doing?" Jian Shi stared at him with his eyes wide open.

Although Xiao Chen usually did things unconventional and Jian Shi had seen it before, it seemed that he still could not understand Xiao Chen's actions.

It was a good piece of calligraphy. No matter how precious it was, it would still be destroyed if it was splashed with water.

Just as everyone was about to see Xiao Chen make a fool of himself, Xiao Chen spoke to Jian Shi.

"Mr Jian, have you ever heard of Strength Penetrating Paper? "Xiao Chen looked at him with a smile.

"Strength Penetrating Paper? Isn't this something that was created by a famous calligraphy expert, Yan Zhenqing? " Jian Shi nodded his head and said.

"This is the work of a late master named Yan Zhenqing. It's just that it has been ravaged by all sorts of things over the years. That's why the later generations wanted to keep it, but in the end, they made a mistake. The brush and ink on it were not the real work of Grandmaster Yan Zhen Qing. However, in this piece of paper, his technique was left behind! "

Xiao Chen said and handed the paper to Jian Shi.

"This... This is really the case. There is indeed some handwriting!" Jian Shi picked it up and looked at the moonlight.

"It is the authentic work of Yan Zhenqing! How much is it worth!"

"Incredible!"

"This person's eyesight is too good! He can even tell that!"

...

The crowd started discussing once again.

"Mayor Jian! Mayor Jian!" An old man's voice suddenly came from behind.

Jian Shi turned his head and saw that it was the master appraiser Luo Zhongyang who was on the stage just now.

"What's the matter, Elder Luo?" Jian Shi put away his smile and asked.

"It's like this. I don't have many pursuits in my life, but I especially like Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy. Can you give me that one you have? I will pay a high price!" Luo Zhongyang said.2

When Jian Shi heard this, he immediately had an idea.

Luo Zhongyang was a famous appraiser in Wuling, and he was also one of the few national appraisers in Wuling. In Wuling's antique world, he could be said to be a titan. If he could have some connections with him, the things that he needed to deal with in the Wuling would be much simpler.

"Look at what you're saying. Since it's the word Elder Luo likes... As a junior, how could I take advantage of someone when they are in danger? How about this, I'll sell this word to you at the original price. What do you think?" Jian Shi kept the word and signaled his subordinate to deliver it to Luo Zhongyang.

Many people were surprised to see Jian Shi being so generous. The people of Wuling liked generous people.

As the mayor of the capital, Jian Shi was incompatible with the customs of Wuling in many aspects. Now, it seemed that Jian Shi was not as petty as they had imagined.

On the contrary, he was very generous. If the authentic work of Yan Zhenqing was identified, it would be worth at least tens of millions.

When they bought it, the price was 500,000 yuan. Now, the original price was sold back. Faced with such a huge temptation, Jian Shi could actually give it to Luo Zhongyang without changing his expression.

Receiving the words, Luo Zhongyang eagerly opened it to take a look. He said with a face full of excitement, "It's true, it's indeed true! And it might even be the lost one!"

Hiss ~

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was in an uproar. If it was the lost one, then the value would at least double.

"Mayor Jian, are you really going to sell it to me at the original price? This is really too expensive. Why don't I give you an estimate of the market price?" Luo Zhongyang was so excited that he almost cried.

To him, who had been obsessed with Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy for his entire life, such a calligraphy was simply a dream that he would never have imagined that it would fall into his hands. And now, it was in his hands.

What kind of feeling was this? What should have only appeared in his dreams had now come true. The thing that he had been chasing for his entire life had now been obtained. Furthermore, it had not cost him much.

This was just like those people who went to buy lottery tickets every day. Suddenly, one day, they discovered that the lottery ticket that they had bought for two dollars yesterday had won five million dollars. It was hard to describe their feelings!

"There's no need. This word has no value in my hands. Only in the hands of Elder Luo can his value be displayed and promote our outstanding culture!" Jian Shi's words actually had the demeanor of giving pointers to the country.

He was an outstanding mayor, and he knew that saying such words at this time was the most appropriate. Because everyone would think that he was especially righteous, and thus his reputation would increase a lot.

Seeing Jian Shi so proficient in these numbers, Xiao Chen felt a little disgusted. However, this was the reason why he followed Xiao Qingyuan to the deep mountains to cultivate. He was not very interested in these secular things.

However, although he was disgusted by Jian Shi's actions when he was in charge of politics, he felt that it was understandable. After all, he was now the mayor of Wuling, so it was necessary for him to take the opportunity to win the hearts of people.

When Luo Zhongyang heard Jian Shi's words, he immediately bowed deeply to him respectfully.

Jian Shi smiled after seeing his reaction. He knew that his plan was very successful this time.

Even if Luo Zhongyang knew that he was trying to win over ___'s heart, he could only do so. After all, it was his lifelong pursuit and he had no choice.

After the matter was settled, Jian Shi looked at Xiao Chen with gratitude in his eyes.
