"Xu Qingliu, what do you think of this pair of talismans? I think it's good, I can buy a pair and give you one. ”

Shang Muli said very happily.

Xu Qingliu nodded indifferently, his focus was still on the small incense burner in his hand.

About half an hour had passed, and everyone had returned to their seats.

Xu Qingliu saw that Long Youhai was holding a calligraphy and painting in his hand, and he seemed to be confident, and it seemed that he was already determined to win this appreciation.

"Okay, now that you have chosen your favorite calligraphy and painting, let's go here and start the first round of primaries!"

After saying that, a few old gentlemen came over to inspect the treasures in the hands of these young people and make some simple inquiries.

In fact, what they really ask about is what these young people know about these treasures, and the price is secondary.

However, some worthless gadgets were naturally ignored and eliminated.

However, most of the treasures selected by these people are not for participating in the election, but for a similar purpose to Shang Muli, in order to buy them and keep a souvenir for themselves.

Soon after the first round of auditions, there were five young people left to be shortlisted for the finals, including the small incense burner held by Xu Qingliu.

"Ahem......"

"Now that you've chosen your baby, it's time to choose. Let's start reporting your hole cards now!"

Li Luanlong, as the host of this appreciation conference, stood in front of several young people and said.

One of the tall young men with a yellow face walked out, pointed to a piece of jade pendant in his hand and said:

"My jade pendant is an ice-seeded Hetian jade, with a golden dragon and jade phoenix carved on it, and there are two boys below. If I'm not mistaken, this should be the jade pendant of Yongzheng's twelfth brother, Prince Lu. If this jade pendant does not count its historical value, the price will be about one million, if it is counted as his personal belongings of Prince Xu, the price will be doubled, and it is not an exaggeration to say that his price is two million to three million. ”

When many judges heard the young man's words, they couldn't help but nod.

Several of them had personally tasted this jade pendant, and they also agreed with the young man's words, and as for how much money he could sell for at auction in the end, it also depended on the conditions at the time.

"Next!"

Hearing Li Luanlong's words, another young man stood up from the side, "Seniors, this is a set of four treasures of the study, this set of four treasures of the study is the four treasures of the study produced by Tong'an Pavilion in the Daoguang period, which was considered the top configuration in the Qing Dynasty at that time, and it was the imperial gift of Emperor Daoguang to Dai Junyuan, a scholar of Wenyuan University, according to the current valuation, this set of four treasures of the study is worth at least three million or more, and even five million is not too much!"

"Five million?"

When the young man next to him heard this, he couldn't help frowning, after all, the difference of two million in this span is really too big!

"Well, yes, this four treasures of the study room does have something to do with Dai Junyuan, and they were also used for a period of time in his later years, which is considered a treasure!"

"But this price span is indeed a bit large, so let's give you a temporary assessment between 3.5 million and 4.5 million!"

Li Luanlong discussed it with several other old men, and quickly gave an answer.

"No problem!"

The young man nodded his head and was judged by the approved judges.

"Next!"

With Li Luanlong's roll call, a man with a slightly baby fat figure stood up and said with a smile: "I have a birdcage for this thing, but it is not an ordinary birdcage but made of pure gold, this treasure was used by the Empress Dowager Cixi, and it still has her mark on it!"

Sure enough, he pointed with his hand, and there was a line of small characters on it with a few words of filial piety, but it was not Chinese, but English.

"This birdcage is made of pure gold, and this birdcage alone is worth more than one million, plus its collection value, its selling price is at least about five million, which is still a conservative estimate!"

The young man said confidently.

Hearing his words, the two young men next to him couldn't help frowning.

Looking at the meaning, he was on the same bar with the two of them, and the price of one was higher than the other.

However, Li Luanlong still nodded and said: "Your estimate is also reasonable, but today's final price is still agreed by several judges here to give an estimate, so now the price you self-reported is only a preliminary review." ”

"Next!" Li Luanlong said as he looked at Long Youhai.

Long Youhai was very excited at the moment, there was a feeling of eagerness to try, he immediately opened the calligraphy and painting in his hand, revealing a beautiful incarnation inside, an old man in the picture scroll sat on the boat, leisurely fishing, a few geese in the sky spread their wings and flew high, the artistic conception was far-reaching, and the painting was strong.

"This fishing picture is the masterpiece of Yu Zhiding during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, although it is not his masterpiece, but it is also his peak work, absolutely genuine. According to the auction prices of some of his previous works, this painting is at least around 12 million!"

"Wow!"

Hearing Long Youhai's words, many people couldn't help but exclaim.

Twelve million, that's almost the sum of the first three people's estimates, and if his estimate is accurate, then the value of his painting is almost more than the sum of the previous people!

"Yes, this painting is indeed about the same price, but the specific situation needs to be further judged. Next!"

Among these people, Xu Qingliu chose the baby for the first time, so his baby was naturally announced at the end, which was also a small benefit.

Xu Qingliu took the small incense burner in his hand and said with a smile: "Everyone, the small incense burner in my hand looks ordinary but is actually a really top superlative, he is not only from the hands of the most famous casting master in the Qing Dynasty, but he is also the top incense burner used by Emperor Shunzhi before he converted to Buddhism." ”

"It is said that this incense burner invited the last famous casting master in the country to cast, a total of 999 casts, but the emperor only took the most favorite incense burner, and the other incense burners were burned, so this incense burner is already a unique book!"

"Based on the current valuation of the same type of incense burner, its price is at least more than 30 million, which is still a conservative estimate!"

After Xu Qingliu finished speaking, many people began to discuss in private.

Hearing Xu Qingliu's words, Long Youhai on the side couldn't help but pouted and said: "A bunch of nonsense, as far as I know, the most famous incense burner in my country should be regarded as the Ming Xuande furnace, and the highest auction price in the market is only 20 million Daming Xuande furnace, and the incense burner in your hand is conservatively estimated at more than 30 million, isn't it Wang Po selling melons and boasting?"

Hearing his words, many judges below couldn't help but nod.

It's not that they don't think that the value of this incense burner is not high, but that the price is indeed too high.

Li Luanlong discussed with a few judges and said: "Let's be quiet, after we have unanimously agreed, we will temporarily price this incense burner at fifteen million, and then make a judgment when we really evaluate it later." But now the judges have unanimously made a choice, and in the end, Long Youhai and Xu Qingliu will advance to the finals!"

Hearing Li Luanlong, the others couldn't help but nod.

Although many people are a little dissatisfied with the price of the small incense burner in Xu Qingliu's hand, it is reasonable that this incense burner can be priced at fifteen million.

"Okay, now let the two contestants take their respective treasures to the judges for the final evaluation. Today, in addition to the judges in our circle, we also invited some of the more famous bigwigs in our circle to take a long look in person. ”

"If these financiers agree, they will even be traded on the spot, and the final remuneration will all go to the champion!"

As Li Luanlong's words fell, three old men walked out from behind the curtain next to them, and when they saw them, some people couldn't help but exclaim.

Yan Shuhua... Cheng Guibao... Azusa Xu Qingliu!

Any of these three old men is a master-level figure in the antique world.

Both energy and wealth!

It was already an honor to have one of them, and now there were three of them.

It was they who personally came to sit in this treasure appraisal meeting, which increased the gold content of this treasure appraisal meeting!

As for why they are called gold lords, it is naturally simple.

To be called a treasure connoisseur, he must have strong financial resources, and when he encounters an antique he likes, he will naturally collect it.

Seeing the three old men who came out, Elder Gao and Geng Changhe were not surprised, but just nodded slightly, which was regarded as a greeting.

Li Luanlong's eyes were in awe and extremely respectful.

For the surrounding movements, the three old men didn't care at all, and their eyes fell on Xu Qingliu and You Longhai.

Before, they sat behind the curtain and watched the juniors pick up the treasures, especially the details.

As a treasure connoisseur, the most important thing is to distinguish between the real and the fake, and to give the exact value and origin.

To put it bluntly, it is experience and vision.

Long Youhai's personality seems to be arrogant, but when he chooses the calligraphy and paintings in his hand, he is reasonable and rigorous, and he is naturally appreciated by them.

It was Xu Qingliu, although he was able to advance to the finals, but when he chose the incense burner, his casual attitude was fully visible to them.

Even if the price of the incense burner is fifteen million, in their opinion, it is just a dog's luck.

Looking at You Longhai, who showed respect for the lower side, their faces showed kindness, and the corners of their mouths were slightly raised, which could be regarded as a kind act of kindness from the elders to the juniors.

Everyone exclaimed, and they all felt envious.

On the contrary, it was Xu Qingliu, only Yan Shuhua nodded slightly, but his attitude could only be called average.

These three treasure connoisseurs are even more optimistic about You Longhai?

Even Shang Muli was slightly dissatisfied, stuck out his tongue, and looked at Xu Qingliu next to him with some concern.

However, although Xu Qingliu was secretly resentful in his heart, it was only a sneer, and then he sat calmly in place.
