Chapter 9 English or Modern Text

"Let's not talk about the others for the time being. At least one point is worthy of our doubts. I think it is still open to debate whether the characters above are the prototype of today's characters." After Qu Jingshui pointed out, Wen Liyan sorted out his thoughts.Let's start with that.

"Hmph." Although Mo Jing didn't directly say anything uncomfortable because of Qu Jingshui, after Wen Liyan gave his thoughts, he still snorted rather dissatisfied.This time, Qu Jingshui didn't bother to pay attention to him at all, and raised his chin to Wen Liyan, signaling Wen Liyan to leave him alone.

"Although the characters above are somewhat similar to the Jin characters we use now, and they all use relatively smooth characters to express meaning, the difference is obvious. I think that as long as you study the language and characters Experts of this kind will come to this conclusion, right? On the other hand, according to my research on ancient characters, the two characters on the cover—"Wen Liyan pointed to the cover, "is the word 'English', I There are reasons to believe that this is another language other than ancient characters in ancient times. Its name is English."

Crack, clap.

The feeble applause came from Mo Jing's palm with a sarcastic smile on his face.

"It's better to say the truth than to sing. 'I have reason to think', this kind of words can be said." He stared at Wen Liyan, the smile on the corner of his mouth was cold, "Just relying on those two words? Can you guarantee Aren't these two words the name of the modern characters in ancient times? Hmm? Are you, Wen Liyan, patted your chest to ensure that all your speculations will never go wrong?" These words are aggressive, and the further you go, Mo Jing's voice grew louder, almost roaring.And he also stood up and put it in front of Wen Liyan, forcing him down from a high position.

Almost feeling that the other party was about to splash saliva on his face, Wen Liyan resisted the urge to wipe his face and leaned back.After Mo Jing finished yelling, he stretched out his right index finger, touched the opponent's chest, pushed Mo Jing away forcefully, returned to his normal posture, and only then took a breath.

Sit up straight, after a pause, Wen Liyan opened his mouth, and responded to the other party with a calm attitude: "Mr. Mo, people are not saints and sages can do nothing. I am not a saint, so naturally I can't guarantee that every word I say is correct. Correct. But at least I can guarantee that the inference just now will not go wrong."

"you!"

Mo Jing still wanted to say something, but just as he opened his mouth, Qu Jingshui slapped the table, "Mo Jing!" He deliberately increased the volume, obviously showing his disapproval of his actions.

Even though he was still resentful and felt that Wen Liyan was deliberately against him, Mo Jing reluctantly sat down again under the scolding of his immediate boss, but his eyes were turned away.

To be honest, Wen Liyan wanted to get angry more than Mo Jing at this time. Don't look at how calm he was when he spoke just now. In fact, he really wanted to yell at Mo Jing. At least his voice should be louder than this guy, and his face would be splashed with saliva. Xingzi try!It's just that he knows that he has just gained a foothold in this place, and he still relies on Qu Jingshui to do the appraisal business. If there is no Qu Jingshui, who would let him be such a guy with little qualifications and only one successful appraisal experience that seems to be a coincidence As an appraiser?Well, first of all, he will never offend Qu Jingshui.Although Mo Jing was attacking him just now, in the presence of Qu Jingshui, why didn't he offend Qu Jingshui?However, Wen Liyan's neither humble nor overbearing attitude is easy to win Qu Jingshui's favor.You can know this just by watching Qu Jingshui scolding Mo Jing.

Knowing where he stood, Wen Liyan controlled his temper and maintained that tepid attitude, but he stopped being indifferent and said to Qu Jingshui: "Boss, don't care what is written in this book. Whether it is the rudiment of modern writing or another ancient writing, its research value is undeniable.”

Qu Jingshui nodded her head as she agreed with Wen Liyan's words. She rubbed her chin with the fingers of her left hand a few times and frowned as if she was thinking about something.

But at this time, Mo Jing had a victorious look on his face, and he said: "The value of research is undeniable? In this world, apart from ancient culture, it is not unheard of other cultures, but No one is interested in this kind of thing at all, so what is the value of research? If this thing is not the prototype of today's characters, its value may only be one percent of the original estimate!"

Qu Jingshui is not just a collector, he is a businessman. For him, how much money can be sold is the most important thing.

Mo Jing naturally knew this very well, so he was confident that under such circumstances, Qu Jingshui should support him.Even if the writing on it is not the prototype of Jinzi in his imagination, Qu Jingshui will insist that it is the prototype of Jinzi!With Qu Jingshui's background and connections, this matter has come to a conclusion.Then, as the appraiser who discovered such a book and authenticated it, his own reputation...

Because it is not Chinese, the value is only worth one percent of the original estimate?

Wen Liyan was a little surprised when he heard this statement.He suddenly remembered that in the past, the abnormal emphasis on foreign cultures, the state of not being able to find a job without learning English, and not even being able to graduate after passing CET-[-].Compared with the situation where people are only interested in Chinese culture at this time, it makes him a little embarrassed.

However, he is not stupid, and Wen Liyan can naturally think of things that Mo Jing can think of.Could it be that Wen Liyan just looked at this matter and was said to be wrong even if he was right?

That's impossible, on the one hand, in the eyes of others, he is wrong, and the little reputation he has accumulated with great difficulty will be destroyed; Qu Jingshui gave up - he was not the only person in this world with the ability to judge, not to mention that Qu Jingshui didn't take him seriously from the beginning.

Therefore, he had to convince Qu Jingshui.

"No one is interested in things from other cultures? What's the reason?" Even though he was nervous, Wen Liyan spoke calmly, "I'm afraid it's because people don't know anything about these things?" After the catastrophe, the problem of population base made people The decline of Western languages ​​and characters has caused the loss of the entire Western civilization. On the contrary, Chinese culture has become popular and completely occupied the mainstream.

"However, this book is a book that can make a huge breakthrough. With the help of this book and our current research on ancient characters, it is just around the corner to open the door of this culture. After understanding this culture, people are afraid Are you not interested in cultural relics in this area? If it works well, it will bring us huge profits, a large category of cultural relics whose value is much higher than that of a book!"

When he said these words, Wen Liyan had a strange feeling.Recalling how much I hated English when I was half-dead in order to test for CET-[-] and CET-[-], I wished that in the future, when China became stronger, all foreigners would have to pass CET-[-] in Chinese. He wants to promote English in a world that doesn't care about cultures other than Chinese.

To put it bluntly, it was not for my own survival. I took CET-[-] and CET-[-] for survival, and it is the same reason for promoting English now.

However, will Qu Jingshui accept her statement, or will she help Mo Jing for the billions?

Wen Liyan's eyes fell on Qu Jingshui.
