Chapter 1550: Since I Debuted, I Have Never Lost a Single Battle
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Zhu Zili looked embarrassed.
Ye Feng picked up the Tiger Tally half. “Ordinary appraisers would usually focus on three points when appraising such things.”
“The first is the electrical conductivity test to check the material of the Tiger Tally.”
“One is to look for the ‘anti-counterfeit label’ on the Tiger Tally based on historical evidence.”
“The other is to identify the subtle differences between modern craftsmanship and the craftsmanship of the past. For example, the most typical one is the words on the Tiger Tally.”
“Because the forging process at that time was not developed, the dents on the Tiger Tally could not be 100% smooth. Therefore, if the writing on a Tiger Tally is neat and smooth, that is, there are no small pits or bumps, it must be a fake.”
” I just said that the person who made this half of the Tiger Tally is an expert in the antique circle. I also said that his workmanship is excellent because he has done all these things perfectly.”
“In addition, the appearance of how it’s wrapped in bronze rust is impeccable — ”
“Ordinary appraisers would naturally make a mistake when they appraise the items according to their inherent appraisal train of thought.”
Uncle Zhu was probably speechless.
After a moment of awkwardness, he said to Ye Feng, “I was too careless earlier.”
“Mr. Ye, you really live up to your reputation.”
“I apologize to you!”
As he spoke, he extended his hand to Ye Feng. “Also, thank you for your advice.”
“If there’s a chance, I’ll treat you to a drink as an apology.”
“You’re welcome.” Ye Feng also stretched out his hand and shook his.
Uncle Zhu probably noticed Ye Feng’s firm and powerful handshake, after shaking hands, the admiration in his eyes grew stronger.
After apologizing to Feng Zhenyuan, he said in a serious tone, “Shaokun has a good master.”
“He knows stuff.”
“He’s completely different from the people Shaokun has made friends with before.”
As he spoke, he picked up the half Tiger Tally. “You guys chat.”
“I’ll go and settle the score with the guy who sold me the Tiger Tally first.”
Feng Zhenyuan and Feng Shaokun obviously had a good relationship with him, so they didn’t say much.
After watching him leave, they turned their gazes back to Ye Feng.
“Master, nice!” Feng Shaokun stood behind Feng Zhenyuan and gave Ye Feng a thumbs up.
As for Feng Zhenyuan, when he looked at Ye Feng again, there was more friendliness in his eyes and less of a businesslike air.
“Judging from Mr. Ye’s performance just now, you’re very accomplished in the field of antique appraisal.”
“The appraisers who helped Old Zhu are all quite famous in Jiangzuo.”
“However, you actually managed to see the truth of something that could even fool such a group of people…”
As he spoke, he even made an inviting gesture, indicating for Ye Feng to take a seat.
Ye Feng did not stand on ceremony and sat down.
Seeing this, Feng Shaokun immediately started pouring tea.
Ye Feng nodded at him, then he looked at Feng Zhenyuan again. “I dare not say that I have great attainments, but I have never lost in the antique industry.”
Feng Zhenyuan was surprised by Ye Feng’s answer, he paused in his action of raising his teacup.
However, it was only after a moment that he regained his composure, he looked at Ye Feng and smiled.
“No wonder Shaokun is convinced by you.”
“Just this confidence and confidence alone makes you more than a realm higher than the friends he made before.”
Ye Feng could feel that his attitude towards him had changed slightly.
He immediately smiled back. “Uncle Feng, you flatter me.”
“I’m just telling the truth.”
“Shaokun has quite a few other friends who are also quite good.”
Feng Zhenyuan obviously did not agree with his last sentence. “How could I not know what this kid was like in the past?”
“Those friends of his in the past, it’s definitely not to the extent of saying that they’re bad friends, but it’s not necessarily beneficial to him personally.”
“Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so playful and willful for so many years.”
Then, he looked at Feng Shaokun. “Then this kid started to change his personality. It probably started when he met you in Zhonghai.”
“I’ve already sent people to inquire and understand.”
“He changed his personality because he saw a mountain in Zhonghai.”
Feng Shaokun seemed a little embarrassed by his stare. “Strictly speaking, this is the first time I’ve met someone who can convince me in all aspects.”
Feng Zhenyuan retracted his gaze and raised his teacup to toast Ye Feng seriously. “Mister Ye, regarding the matter of Shaokun, I have to toast you…”
Ye Feng quickly raised his teacup and lowered it slightly, clinking it with Feng Zhenyuan’s. “Uncle Feng, you are too polite.”
“I should be the one toasting you.”
Feng Zhenyuan didn’t wait for him to finish and waved his hand. “Let me finish first.”
“I’m serious when I say this.”
“Although this child isn’t a bad person, he’s too playful and willful. He’s never behaving himself. When we are with him, he’s still a little obedient. But once he leaves our sight, he’s like a wild horse that’s out of control.”
“And our Feng family only has one son.”
“I’m not the only one who’s worried about him. Even my dad, Shaokun’s grandfather, has been worried about his future…”
Ye Feng did not know what to do after hearing what he said.
Feng Zhenyuan continued, “But ever since he met you, this child has completely changed.”
“He’s become humble, calm, and willing to settle down to learn… He’s developing in a good direction almost every day.”
“Even Old Zhu, who lives next door, and those uncles who watched this kid grow up — those old acquaintances who were worried about this kid in the past — are full of praises for him now…”
“Dad, keep a low profile, keep a low profile.” Feng Shaokun laughed when he heard this.
Feng Zhenyuan glared at him. “I’m talking to your master. Why are you interrupting?”
“I just praised you a few times, and you’re already starting to get cocky again?!”
“No, absolutely not.” Feng Shaokun must be very afraid of him. After coughing lightly, he obediently continued to be the tea assistant.
Feng Zhenyuan raised his teacup and gave Ye Feng another toast. “Regarding Shaokun, I am indeed very grateful to you, or rather, the entire Feng family is very grateful to you!”
“Just based on this favor, if you need our help in the future, you can just ask.”
“As long as it doesn’t involve a matter of principle, my Feng family will not object.”
“You’re too polite.” Ye Feng subconsciously lowered his cup and wanted to toast with him again.
Unexpectedly, Feng Zhenyuan lifted the bottom of his glass and clinked glasses with him.
After drinking the tea in one gulp, he suddenly changed the topic. “However, if it involves matters of principle, then I can only apologize.”
“For example, the time you asked Shaokun to secretly mobilize a group of snipers to go out…”
