Intwo helpers for the same job was avoided as it would make the other party feel that they were untrustworthy

However, it was different when it came to the appreciation and authentication of artwork Normally, a piece of valuable artwork required anizations to authenticate the artwork

This was in part due to the buyers As there were so many buyers all over the world, they could not possibly all trust a single authentication organization Soanization and others would trust another So, in order to sell for a good price, it was best to get both organizations to carry out the authentication

The two organizations that Roger found for Li Du had a lot of influence One of the organizations was a commercial auction house while the other was a museum that specialized in collections All in all, the authentication results froanizations would be accepted by every buyer

Experts froanizations knew one another After they reeted each other:

”Ah, Teacher Kevin, so happy to rab a drink after the authentication results are out?”

”Of course, Mr Saunders Our previousin New York is still clear in hri, very happy to h they seemed very enthusiastic, they were enthusiastic to each other only No one was concerned with Li Du, despite hi the customer

However, as Li Du ell-tempered, he only felt a little displeased and did not express it in his face

After the exchange of greetings, both parties sat Professor Kevin, as the oldest, said, ”Mr Li, I think you can take out the oil paintings noever, I would like to say a feords before the authentication Is that alright?”

”Anything,” Li Du said, sipping his coffee

Professor Kevin tapped on the table with his finger and said, ”According to Mr Roger's words, you want to authenticate two different creations of Van Gogh: 'Beach at Scheveningen in Storation Leaving the Reformed Church in Nuenen,' which was painted between 1884 and 1885”

”Correct”

Professor Kevin laughed bitterly and said, ”Those two paintings were stolen around 40 years ago Subsequently, a lot of 'Beach at Scheveningen in Stor the Reformed Church in Nuenens' appeared in the market I hope you're prepared”

Li Du understood his s are fake?”

Saunder, as the expert working for the Los Angeles County Museuh-quality imitation products It is very difficult to tell their authenticity and hence, there will always be people uys can go ahead and authenticate Regardless of the outcome, I will accept it”

The experts looked at each other and gestured to Li Du to open the oil paintings before starting their work

As Roger had also considered the fact that there were two paintings, he invited two groups of experts The two paintings were aptly split between the two groups, with each group in charge of one painting After which, the two groups would exchange their views

Authenticating oil paintings was a simple yet complicated matter It was a simple matter as, if it were fake, an expert would be able tojust one flaw
