Chapter 1644: Smashing the Field
The young man in front of him didn't seem to be easy to deal with. He should be a person with a sense of justice and a single-minded man.
He has been in business for so many years, and what he fears most are young people like this.
Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and dare to use their own lives to challenge the unspoken rules of the world.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Isn't it just a treasure appraisal? Didn't you call me to come on stage?" the young man said, having already walked to the ring.
Boss Huang was now riding a tiger and couldn't get off, so he could only bite the bullet and said: "Okay, please come and identify this jade bottle."
Lin Ran was also looking at the young man above with interest. He still had a good impression of the young man in front of him.
The world needs people with a sense of justice.
I saw the young man picking up the jade bottle, holding it gently in his hand and looking back and forth.
In fact, like Lin Ran, he was relatively familiar with the craftsmen of the Qing Dynasty, and had never heard of the reputation of the jade bottle maker.
I originally thought that when he walked to the stage, he would be able to tell the results of the appraisal soon.
But unexpectedly, this young man's disdain at the beginning turned into shock in his eyes.
So much so that Lin Ran was wondering, was he the one hired by Boss Huang?
This expression is so professional!
Lin Ran also narrowed his eyes and looked at the jade bottle in the young man's hand.
"Is it..."
Lin Ran looked at the patterns on it again and felt dumbfounded.
This boss is really too careless.
Because it is not a work of the Qing Dynasty at all, but a white jade phoenix-pattern bottle from the Ming Dynasty.
The young man looked at the boss dumbfounded, and then said: "Is this bottle really sold for 1000 yuan?"
Changing from Gang's extremely arrogant attitude, his attitude now seemed extremely respectful.
"I'll pay you 1000 yuan to sell it to me." The young man emphasized his tone.
Boss Huang was worried about something going wrong at first, but after hearing these words, the expression on his face became arrogant again.
"Humph, you said it was a fake at first."
The young man originally wanted to tell the real appraisal results, but seeing the boss's look, he decided to go with what he meant.
So he clasped his hands and made an apology gesture: "I'm blind, but Boss Huang's white jade bottle is indeed priceless, worth the base price of 1000 yuan!"
His attitude changed so obviously that the audience felt a little strange.
"Tch, is this an actor you hired?"
"The acting is so poor!"
"Boss, you are so unkind, you are selling fake goods before the auction house even opens!"
"Haha, I want to see if you can spend 1000 yuan to buy it!"
Boss Huang was also on the verge of tears. The appearance of this young man was not what he expected at all.
It seems so far-fetched to come out and cause trouble, and then behave respectfully.
If he comes up and continues to say that this is a fake, he can still ask other experts from other treasure appraisal firms to smooth things over for him, but he doesn’t know what to do now.
Without saying anything, the young man immediately took out 1000 yuan from his pocket.
A thick stack of banknotes was placed on the table, "I want something, boss, please wrap it up for me."
Everyone else looked at the excitement and felt that Boss Huang was directing and acting on his own.
Boss Huang didn't want to sell to him at all. Making money was the second priority. Now that his reputation was ruined by him, what would he do in the next competition?
At this time, he could only turn to Ma Zhen for help.
Ma Zhen, on the other hand, acted as if the matter had nothing to do with him. He put his hands on his chest and made no move, as if the auction had nothing to do with him.
In fact, Ma Zhen was mainly angry.
If they really cooperate with such a fool, their auction house will definitely suffer a huge loss.
Just when they were on the verge of getting off the tiger, they suddenly remembered a voice among the crowd.
"Isn't this Tang Lanxuan's disciple Chen Mo?"
He is an old man who looks very kind.
Seeing the old man speaking, Boss Huang instantly felt like he had seen a savior.
"Mr. Zhu, you are finally here!"
Boss Huang, regardless of other people's sideways glances, immediately walked to the audience and respectfully invited the old man to come on stage.
Then he introduced to everyone: "This is Mr. Zhu, a special researcher at the Palace Museum. Although Mr. Zhu has retired from the museum, he is the Taishan Beidou in the treasure appraising world. Can you still not believe what he says?"
People nowadays are also relatively simple-minded. I heard that he was a special researcher at the National Palace Museum, and they all cast envious eyes on him.
What is the National Palace Museum?
National museum.
Do the special researchers inside have average vision?
Mr. Zhu is old, and Lin Ran has never seen him in the museum.
However, there are many internal documents with his name on them. They should be real people and not just made up by Boss Huang.
Mr. Zhu walked up to the stage with a smile and said, "I'm sorry, I'm old and it's inconvenient to walk. I'm late."
"It's okay, it's okay, the professional group competition hasn't started yet." Boss Huang said enthusiastically.
"I've met Mr. Zhu." The young man bowed with his hands clasped in a respectful manner, expressing his respect for Mr. Zhu.
Mr. Zhu said with a smile: "Chen Mo, I haven't seen you for a long time. I will go back to the museum to see your teacher when I have time. He is also old."
"This..." Chen Mo had a troubled expression on his face.
Lin Ran in the audience saw this so-called senior brother for the first time.
He knew that Tang Lanxuan had taken on several disciples before, and their skills were quite good.
But the teacher never mentioned their names, and seemed to have a lot of dissatisfaction with the past disciples.
There must be something hidden in it.
Came across it today.
Since the teacher doesn't want to tell, let's look for clues from the disciples.
Having made up his mind, Lin Ran was going to stop the young man and have a good question with him.
The audience in the audience was not interested in their pleasantries.
Instead, he began to urge Mr. Zhu to appraise the jade bottle.
Mr. Zhu was also an honest man and took the white jade bottle from the young man's hand.
After careful inspection, he said with a smile: "This is not the Feng Chaoyang white jade bottle from the Qing Dynasty."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of yelling and curses from the crowd.
Mr. Zhu raised his hand to signal everyone to quiet down.
He smiled and said: "This white jade bottle is about 30 centimeters high, and the complete bottle is round. There is a golden phoenix on the outer wall, hovering above the bottle. The head, torso, scales, claws, and tail of the phoenix are all... Every part is painted very finely and lifelike.”
"Looking at the mouth of the bottle, there is a raised pattern, and there is a similar floral pattern on the bottom of the bottle."
"The craftsmanship of this white jade bottle is very high, and the white jade material used is also very high-quality. The dragon pattern carving on the bottle is extremely exquisite, with smooth lines, vivid and dynamic expressions."
