The Fourth Continent Group has always had a good reputation in China and is a well-known patriotic private enterprise.
This donation of the twelve zodiac animal heads has added another touch of color to the Fourth Continent Group.
Erskine, who was far away in Mexico, naturally received the news. When he learned that there was a snake head on Meng Haisheng's donation list, his first thought was that Meng Haisheng would make a fake snake head and donate it to the country.
But he thought about it and felt that Meng Haisheng was unlikely to do such a thing.
After all, there are many experts in China. Once they identify that Meng Haisheng donated a fake animal head, Meng Haisheng's Fourth Continent Group will probably be condemned by everyone.
"Gibson, you contact a few bronze identification experts now and ask them to help me check the authenticity of the snake head."
Gibson was also scared and sweating at this moment. He did not dare to delay and quickly used all his connections to invite a well-known bronze identification expert in Mexico.
The four experts circled around the snake head for several times, and one of them finally found an inconspicuous pinhole at the bottom of the snake head.
By testing the copper in the pinhole and the dye on the edge, it can be determined that the snake head in Erskine's hand should be a modern artwork.
Faced with this result, Erskine was confused.
"How is this possible? The snake head has always been in my hands, and I have never even lent it out. How can it become a fake? It's a modern artwork? Why don't you just say it's a high imitation?"
Erskine couldn't figure out why his snake head became a high imitation.
After thinking about it, Erskine finally remembered that Meng Haisheng attended the banquet.
"Meng Haisheng only came into contact with the snake head that one time. Even if he has great ability, he can't replace the snake head under my nose."
Erskine is still very confident about this.
The security of the entire banquet hall was very good on the day the snake head was exhibited, and the snake head was under surveillance throughout the process. Even if Meng Haisheng wanted to steal the day, how could he do it under so many eyes?
Moreover, the snake head was placed in a glass cover at that time, and the cover was equipped with the latest alarm system. Once the glass cover was opened, the alarm would be triggered immediately.
But it is also true that Meng Haisheng donated the snake head to the country. "Gibson, check it quickly for me. I want to know who replaced my snake head."
"Yes."
It must be said that the people under Erskine are still quite capable. When they found that the surveillance on that day disappeared, they knew that someone must have tampered with it.
Later, when they re-investigated the explosion of the light bulb, they found clues on the light bulb.
And all these signs told Erskine that Meng Haisheng replaced the snake head under his nose.
And now he only knows that it was Meng Haisheng who did it, but he has no evidence in his hand.
Whether it is the banquet hall or the way to the banquet hall, as long as Meng Haisheng is there, he did not leave any handle.
"What a Meng Haisheng, he is deliberately embarrassing me." Erskine was very depressed about the results of the investigation.
If there was any evidence, he could kill Meng Haisheng directly and have a good talk with him about the snake head.
But now there is no evidence at all, he can only swallow his bitterness.
"Boss, how about we send someone to kill Meng Haisheng directly?"
Gibson didn't expect Meng Haisheng to be so powerful.
In the past, he was always worried about a head-on conflict between Meng Haisheng and Erskine, and worried that the two sides would make it too ugly and disadvantageous to Erskine.
But now Meng Haisheng is so powerful, and they have tried to assassinate him before, it can be said that the two sides have reached the point of no return.
Why don't they take the initiative and kill Meng Haisheng, so that there will be no worries.
"Do you think I don't want to? If Meng Haisheng is so easy to be assassinated, the people we sent before would have succeeded long ago, why wait until now."
The assassin sent by Erskine last time is still serving his sentence in a Chinese prison.
Fortunately, this matter was not spread, otherwise his face would be trampled under the feet of Meng Haisheng.
"What should we do now? We can't always be so passive."
"Of course I won't take this loss. Since we can't solve it with force, we can only get back in the market."
"Go check what projects Meng Haisheng has invested in recently. No matter what he does, I will follow him. I want Meng Haisheng to know the consequences of offending me, Erskine."
"Yes, I'll check it out right away."
The fact that the snake head in Erskine's collection is a work of art soon spread in Mexico.
Stephen Petty, who had an intersection with Meng Haisheng, naturally received the news.
He connected Meng Haisheng's donation of the animal head with the fact that the snake head in Erskine's collection was a work of art, and instantly felt bad.
Although he couldn't figure out the mystery, he inexplicably feltwas very nervous.
He immediately took out a large glazed vase and asked a familiar appraiser to help identify it.
As a result, he found 4 appraisers, 2 of whom said it was a modern artwork, and 2 said it was a genuine product.
Stephen Petty was suspicious to begin with, and now that he heard someone say it was a modern artwork, his doubts deepened.
So he asked the appraiser from the auction house to help identify it and see how much this large glazed vase could be sold for.
Coincidentally, this appraiser came from China, and his ancestors were masters of making high-quality imitation antiques.
High-quality imitation antiques generally have the mark of the original author.
The appraiser from the auction house finally found a "Jiang" character in the peony stamens on the body of the vase.
"Mr. Petty, look, this is the mark left by the original author."
The appraiser handed the high-power magnifying glass to Stephen Petty and asked him to see it for himself.
Although Stephen Petty did not know Chinese characters, the fact that this character appeared in the stamens was enough to show that this large glazed vase was a modern high-quality imitation.
"How is this possible? I'm going to find Meng Haisheng. He brought some fakes to exchange for my real things."
Stephen Peidi was so angry that he wanted to call Meng Haisheng, but after picking up the phone, he didn't press the call.
At the beginning, Meng Haisheng exchanged dozens of antiques and calligraphy and paintings with him, and he also took a large number of porcelains from Meng Haisheng. Now one of the porcelains was found to be a high-quality imitation. What about the others? Will they all be high-quality imitations?
Moreover, in the antique industry, each party bears the profit and loss after the transaction. There is no such thing as buying a fake and going back to find someone.
Even if he finds it back, Meng Haisheng will definitely not admit it. In the end, everyone in Mexico will know that he bought a batch of fake porcelains.
Thinking of this, Stephen Peidi wanted to settle the account directly with Meng Haisheng.
In order to reduce his losses, Stephen Peidi could only suppress the matter secretly, and at the same time asked the appraiser to help check other porcelains to see if they were high-quality imitations.
