Chapter 061: Gambling for Money
Bet!
Shen Qiu had never been afraid of anyone in his bones.
Knowing that the game in front of him is not simple, he clearly knows that this gamble may be a trap for Xue Li, in his Shen Qiu's eyes, there is no retreat at all!
That's it!
There are four layers of wooden shelves, and the antiques are arranged in order of shape and size, and the top layer is the smallest ornament, and there is no shortage of exquisite antiques such as bronzes, ivory sculptures, and jade ornaments.
Porcelain began to be arranged from the second floor, and the second floor is dominated by white porcelain, including early chicken head pots, purple clay pots in the Republic of China period, and white glazed pots at the end of the early Qing Dynasty.
The third and fourth rows are arranged with blue and white porcelain of the Yuan and Qing dynasties, among which there are many famous blue and white jars, including Guiguzi descending the mountain, Han Xin chasing Xiao He and other blue and white porcelain masterpieces.
These two rows of blue and white porcelain Shen Qiu first ruled them out, and he didn't even need to look at them to know that they were fakes, but if there was a genuine handiwork, it would be worth tens of millions, and the hotel would not put the real thing on the wooden shelf, even if it was a local tyrant.
In other words, the most valuable of them is on the shelves in the first and second rows, that is, among the ornaments and white porcelain, the most valuable antique is selected.
"Shen Qiu, are you ready? This time you will also be given two minutes! As soon as the time is over, you must pick out the most valuable antiques, and after the time passes, you will be considered a loser!"
Xue Li pursed her lips and smiled slightly, that posture seemed to be a sure victory.
Two minutes is really difficult, even if the two rows of blue and white porcelain are removed, there are still more than ten antiques lined up in it, and the two minutes must judge their authenticity, and the highest valuation among them must be taken out separately, the difficulty can be imagined.
According to the calculation of appreciation time, the average appreciation time of each collection cannot exceed fifteen seconds, which means that Shen Qiu cannot touch every piece, and can only identify the collection on the wooden shelf through the simplest visual inspection.
"Master......" Kang Kai, who had no sense of presence in the corner, muttered in a low voice: "I think, the most valuable thing here should be the thousand-armed Buddha statue in the middle of the first row! You see the emerald green jade of the Buddha statue, I dare not say anything else, at least the jade quality of Hetian jade is in front of me, just say that such a large Hetian jade also costs more than 100,000 yuan! The price of 100,000 yuan is not cheap to put on the wooden frame for people to admire!"
Cao Donglai glanced at him and said: "You know a fart, on the surface, it is the most valuable thousand-handed Buddha statue, but in fact, it is a bureau set up by Xueli for Shen Qiu, the thousand-handed Buddha statue is undoubtedly the most eye-catching and luminous one, and fools will have a thousand-armed Buddha, but I don't know that if there is a genuine thing in those white-glazed porcelain, the price is higher than that of the thousand-armed Buddha!"
"In my opinion, the white porcelain long bottle on the far left should be genuine, the tire color, slurry, shape are all right, and the closing arc of the bottle mouth is also right, the price of this white porcelain long bottle alone is at least about 300,000!"
During this process, Shen Qiu had been carefully observing the collection on the wooden shelf, and after only two glances, he saw the most valuable collection among them, just as Cao Donglai said the white porcelain vase.
The white porcelain long bottle is placed in a slightly conspicuous position in the second row of the shelf, and there is no problem with the overall appearance of the outline, and there is no trace of repair, fraud and aging.
"Shen Qiu! It's that white porcelain bottle!"
Xie Jingwen came to Shen Qiu and reminded in a whisper: "Although I didn't see the payment of this white porcelain bottle, but according to his outline and style, it can be judged that it is something from the Qing Daoguang period, the glaze of the white porcelain bottle is integrated, and there is no problem with the overall look, the valuation on the market should be around 300,000, and the hotel has taken great pains to use it as a decoration!"
Shen Qiu still didn't speak, his gaze never left all the antiques in his line of sight, and his mind was spinning rapidly in an instant.
It seems to be an ordinary gambling money, but there is a mystery hidden in it that ordinary people can't detect.
Anyone with a little level of discrimination will choose the Daoguang white porcelain long bottle, and only this bottle has the highest estimate, between 350,000 and 400,000.
But in this way, this gamble is not too simple, after all, this is a game set up by Xue Li, I have seen her methods on the train before, Shen Qiu still remembers the mystery of the unicorn spitting pearls, according to Xue Li's routine, she will never let herself win the gambling game so easily!
"Shen Qiu, you still have thirty seconds, hehe......"
Xue Li raised her watch with her backhand, signaling that there was not much time left for Shen Qiu, and the atmosphere in the air instantly became tense and solidified, and even Xie Jingwen's forehead was covered with beads of sweat the size of beans.
"Shen Qiu, could it be that ivory sculpture?"
Xie Jingwen pointed to the ivory sculpture on the first layer of wooden shelves and asked: "The ivory sculpture is exquisitely carved, using the style of gold and jade inlaid in the ivory, and the carved flowers and birds are lifelike, I think it is also an old thing!"
"That's not right!" Shen Qiu didn't bother to wipe the sweat drops on his face, and vetoed: "That's a modern handicraft, the root yellow of the ivory is made of old age!
"Shen Qiu, you have ten seconds left!10!9!8!7......"
Xue Li counted down and smiled confidently, as if she had already advanced the ending, and expected that Shen Qiu would lose this gamble after renting.
"I see!"
It was Xueli's last charming smile that struck Shen Qiu's mind like a bolt of lightning, which instantly made him suddenly realize that he would see the bright moon through the dark clouds!
"It's time!"
With the last second, Director Feng solemnly announced that Director Feng had been honest all his life, and he didn't know what medicine was sold in Xueli's gourd, in his opinion, it was just a manifestation of the playful Xueli's unwillingness.
Because he also identified the most expensive collection on the shelf, I believe that with Shen Qiu's eyesight, he will never fail to see it.
"Shen Qiu, you can announce your answer! You can also come to the wooden frame and take it out alone!" Director Feng gestured to Shen Qiu.
I didn't want Shen Qiu to let out a sigh: "No need to take it! I have already seen the most expensive collection on this wall, it is not any collection on the wooden shelf, but this wooden shelf in front of us!"
Yes......
Shen Qiu's voice fell, and the box burst into amazement one after another, and his eyes widened and he couldn't understand: "Shen Qiu, what do you say? You said that this wooden frame has the highest valuation......? How is this possible...... You see that the appearance of this wooden frame is golden yellow, it is not mahogany or sandalwood, it should be an ordinary ornament!"
"This Shen Qiu's brain shouldn't have been squeezed by the door!" Kang Kai frowned and said: "Either this kid has long wanted to leave Xuan Bao Zhai, and he just took this opportunity to leave!
Even Professor Feng shook his head and said he didn't understand: "Master Shen, I really can't understand it this time, the most valuable thing among them is the Daoguang white porcelain vase in it, and none of the other collections can compare to it!"
Shen Qiu shook her head and said nothing, but the smile on Xue Li's face gradually disappeared, replaced by a depressed expression, obviously Shen Qiu's answer disappointed her.
"This is thanks to Miss Shirley's hint to me, I have suffered her loss on the train, I have long known that Miss Shirley's game cannot be broken by me so easily, so this time I have eaten a trench and grown wise, and I also saw the flaw in this game at the last moment!"
Shen Qiu came to the golden wooden frame, which was about eight meters long and six meters high, with an archbridge-like arc in the middle, and the appearance was covered with golden gold leaf, because it was too dazzling, and it was the easiest to ignore it.
"In fact, it is the most valuable collection among them, because the wooden frame placed on our surface is not ordinary wood, but the golden silk nanmu that can be called the "emperor wood"!"
Golden silk nanmu!
