Xu Chunliang said, "Boss Wu, what do you mean by this? Are you planning on using strong-arm tactics?"
Wu Yuanyi laughed heartily and said, "In business, we naturally can't engage in coercion and deceit. You claim my goods are fake, but how do you prove that?"
Xu Chunliang replied, "The whip's body may be cylindrical, but its cross-section is elongated; a tiger whip is nearly a true circle, and this one is elliptical. Moreover, the base is thicker, tapering to a point at the tip. The gray surface is painted on, and upon closer inspection, the drying cracks reveal the brown interior with a glossy texture. A real tiger whip should be gray-brown and not glossy, wrapped by a thin skin with barbed hook-like protrusions. This one is clearly artificially processed. The tiger balls and whip aren't a pair; the stem bone was inserted later."
