Apparently I'm the Son of the Rich
Then I'm Not Segan Again
Everyone was very curious about what kind of painting Erwin had brought, and focused on Erwin for a while.
After rising from his seat, he opened the painting slowly, and immediately showed the contents of the painting.
The detailed detailed painting, when everyone saw the contents of the painting, all they had in their expressions was shock.
"Isn't this the exact same "Ali Sadikin of Independence" that Vincent brought?"
Soon someone noticed something in the painting that Erwin was carrying, namely the signature and stamp found in "Ali Sadikin At the Time of Independence" the same work of Hendra Gunawan as Vincent's too.
"Why are there two "Ali Sadikin At the Time of Independence”?"
Many people wonder about this, but they quickly understand that one of the two paintings must be a replica, however, as to which painting is the real one, everyone has their own guesses in their mind.
"Erwin, I can't believe the gift you're giving Professor Aleda is a replica, don't you feel ashamed?" Vincent's face changed completely, and immediately accused Erwin's painting of a replica product, because he bought this antique painting for 76 billion.
“Why didn't you tell me yours was a replica product?” Erwin's mouth smiled slightly. The painting "Ali Sadikin At the Independence Day” he held has been ascertained its authenticity by a best antique appraiser in the City of Bandung, while the painting in Vincent's hands is still unknown.
“Which might be a poor loser like being able to buy a painting that costs 76 billion?” Vincent scoffed mercilessly.
In fact, most of the people present did not believe that Erwin's painting was genuine, how could a poor child should not be able to buy the original painting by Hendra Gunawan right?
"As for the original or not, why not let Grandpa Aleda judge it?” Erwin didn't want to have any pleasantries with him, so he immediately asked David to judge him. In addition, there are still a few friends of David from the antiques industry at this banquet, so letting them all identify with him would be much more useful than a word of mouth clash with Vincent.
“True, let my father judge it, after all there are still some of my father's friends who know antiques as well.” Simon agrees with this idea, will it not be discovered which is real and which is fake after being observed?
Many people on the scene also nodded, thinking that this idea was the simplest and most effective.
"Just do it, I'm afraid you'll be humiliated later.” Vincent sneered, he was confident for buying this painting for 76 billion, and it was absolutely impossible for it to be fake.
“Better worry about yourself only.” Erwin shook his head, a little out of words towards Vincent's confidence!
After speaking, Erwin also handed David the "Ali Sadikin In the Age of Independence" painting, and David also took the painting carefully.
Then, with some friends from the antique industry, David began to examine these two paintings closely, and, everyone's eyes on the scene were fixed on the few people who were checking this with gazes as if they were watching a nice spectacle while whispering to each other, looking at each other,
"Well guess which painting is real?"
"Of course Vincent's, he's painting it for 76 billion, so where could it be fake?"
"I also thought so, even though Erwin was friends with Mr. Damon, but after all he was just a poor kid from the countryside, so how could he possibly afford to buy such a famous painting?"
"It looks like soon the boy will be humiliated, already know do not have money, but why give a replica painting gift? Wanna show off not so far either."
…
However, Lucas believes Erwin, who is a mysterious rich man, will definitely not embarrass himself with a fake painting.
Lina felt a little worried and nervous, for not caring about whose painting was the real one. While Mary put on an annoyed facial expression, and blamed herself.
"Have known not to have money but want to get rich and show off here and there, why should you wear a fake painting? Is that necessary?"
David and some friends observed the two paintings closely for a long time, but still did not manage to see the difference between the two paintings, because even the density of ink in its intricacies was basically the same, which made them completely helpless.
“These two paintings are exactly the same, with our grading ability, it is impossible to find out which one is real.” A friend of David said with a frown tightly shut.
After all, some of them were not professional appraisers, they were only a hobby with antiques, so it was only natural that they could not identify such a famous painting.
“Betul, the painting standard of these two paintings has reached a very high level, although one of these paintings is indeed a replica product, but still this replica product is not cheap either.” David also agreed.
“If you really want to know which one is real, maybe in this Bandung City, only Brian, a best antique appraiser can do it.” The other old man explained.
After discussing it, they quickly made a decision, and David immediately announced,
"Both of these paintings have very high standards, our appraisal ability is also limited, so unable to verify their authenticity, we will ask a top antiques appraiser named Brian for the matter."
“Now, we continue eating with him.” Instead, David thought that choosing not to identify directly was the best option, because thus both Erwin and Vincent would remain safe, he said, because if the original one and the replica one were discovered today, surely one of them would be humiliated.
“Eat, we continue to eat.” Seeing that the results were still undetermined, the relatives and friends present could only return to their respective seats disappointedly.
However, Vincent is dissatisfied with not being able to expose Erwin's replica painting on the spot, plus Lina who keeps adding side dishes to Erwin which makes her anger soar.
"Professor Aleda, I heard that in three days you will be holding a private collection exhibition, right?"
“Iya, I am indeed preparing it, you are interested to come look around huh?” David attaches great importance to this exhibition of his personal collection, as it is the first collection exhibition he will hold after his retirement.
"Professor Aleda, you see, when the collection exhibition opened, just display both of our paintings at the same time and the place next to each other, so everyone who comes to visit can judge, then in the end we invite Brian, the best antiques appraiser in Bandung City to assess. Besides being able to attract popularity, the people who visit also have the opportunity to distinguish where the original product is."
Vincent wants to humiliate Erwin directly in front of everyone, and at the same time wants to let Lina be aware of the fact that Erwin is just a big mouth.
“Good, Dad, Vincent's idea will definitely attract a lot of people's attention, I agree with his idea.” Simon suggested in a loud voice.
"I also think Vincent's idea is good, not only attracting attention, but also professionally identifying which painting is real." The audience also agreed with this idea, as they were also curious as to which painting was the real one.
David hesitated for a moment, as he did not want to identify these two paintings in front of everyone, and planned to invite Brian personally for identification secretly, that can keep the image of the two of them, but Vincent is very coercive, and it makes him dislike.
“Kakek Aleda, just follow Vincent.”'s advice Erwin smiled slightly, since Brian had already identified this painting before, so what was he to fear? Because Vincent is so eager to embarrass himself, the time he can only follow the flow.
