Chapter 440: True and False Paintings
Moreover, because of the Zhao family's business, each of them must learn to appreciate treasures regardless of whether they take over the family business or not. Otherwise, they will be expelled from the family. Shen Yizhi explained, "This is also the reason why the Zhao family can stand for thousands of years." ”
"I see. Xu Qingliu felt very admired and said, "In this way, I am looking forward to the competition even more." ”
Shen Ziming glanced at the schedule in his hand and said, "The competition is the day before leaving, and tomorrow is the auction appreciation meeting." ”
"Auction appreciation?" Xu Qingliu asked again, "Do you want to show the antiques you brought to everyone to appreciate, and then auction them?"
Shang Muli nodded and said, "If you don't have time to prepare, I will prepare a Tang Sancai for you, and I can also auction a lot of money." ”
Who knows, Xu Qingliu waved his hand and said, "No, I brought it." ”
"Really?" Shen Ziming said half-jokingly, "You are a college student who has just graduated, even if you have 100 million yuan from my brother, what kind of antiques can you buy?"
Xu Qingliu smiled mysteriously and said, "Don't worry, this will definitely be the final finale." When the time comes, you will know. ”
"Well, we'll see. ”
After a few people had a good rest, before the appreciation meeting began the next day, Xu Qingliu still habitually came to the streets of the antique city to stroll.
Shang Muli and Shen Yizhi had business to discuss with Zhao Xin, so they didn't go with him, and only let Shen Ziming lead the way.
The three of them walked around all day, but they didn't see anything good, and just as Xu Qingliu was about to leave, they accidentally saw a relatively inconspicuous shop.
"What do you like?" Shen Ziming was a little dizzy from the sun, "If we don't like it, let's leave quickly." ”
Mo Ran also nodded a little unbearably, and echoed: "Brother, I'm also a little hot and dizzy, if you don't like it, let's go to the treasure appraisal meeting to have a look." ”
"No, I already have a crush. ”
Afterwards, Xu Qingliu took the two to the most inconspicuous shop.
I saw that the boss, who was still dozing off, immediately cheered up after seeing the two people coming.
"A few little brothers, do you want to buy anything?"
After Xu Qingliu looked at it, he pointed to a black cat on the table and said, "I want this black cat sculpture, how much does it cost?"
The shopkeeper was a little confused, thinking that he had not woken up, so he asked again, "Are you sure you want this? This is just an ordinary ornament, and if you want it, I will give you 3,000 yuan." It's just that there are many other things in our store, and you really only need this one?"
Xu Qingliu nodded, and after paying the money briskly, he left with the black cat decoration.
"Why did you buy such an inconspicuous thing?" Shen Ziming said a little incomprehensibly, "This is not worth three thousand yuan, you have lost money!"
"Lose or not, you don't care. Xu Qingliu looked at Shen Ziming and said with a smug smile, "In short, this will become the second biggest attraction today." ”
"Really?" Shen Ziming said with a little disbelief, "Why do I feel a little hanging?"
Xu Qingliu smiled and did not speak.
After a few people finished shopping, they returned to the Zhao family's house.
At this time, it is just time to appreciate the auction.
When Xu Qingliu sent his black cat decoration in, everyone couldn't help but be stunned, this thing is a modern handicraft at a glance, how can he get it?
"Xu Qingliu, why don't you change it!" Shang Muli said with some embarrassment, "Didn't you say that you had prepared things before? Why is this it?"
Xu Qingliu was relieved: "Don't worry! This thing is definitely valuable, and it is definitely more valuable than you seem." ”
Since Xu Qingliu has already said so.
That Shang Muli can't say anything more, everything is left to fate!
Soon the treasure appraisal meeting began, and the first two or three auction items and connoisseurs were average, and Xu Qingliu was not particularly interested.
After a while, he had already arrived at Xu Qingliu's things.
"It's just a modern thing!"
"That's it, something like this deserves to be brought here?"
Hearing these words, Xu Qingliu couldn't help but smile, then stood up instead, walked to his things, took out a spoon from his pocket, and scratched the black cat's body vigorously.
After a while, I saw that the black paint on the black cat's body was scraped off a whole piece, revealing the golden light inside.
"Whether it's a modern artifact or not, I don't think you care at all, after all, it's a black cat decoration made of gold. Xu Qingliu lifted the black cat and put it in front of everyone's eyes, and after giving them a look, he said, "If you are afraid that this is fake, then why don't you ask someone to come up and identify it, you choose people yourself, okay?"
When those people heard Xu Qingliu say this, they nodded and directly asked the host Zhao Xin to come to the stage to check whether this was an ornament made of pure gold nuggets.
I saw that after a brief inspection, Zhao Xin asked someone to bring a basin full of water. Then, the cat was put inside.
After seeing how much water was exposed, Zhao Xin nodded with satisfaction and said: "This is indeed a handicraft made of gold, and looking at this style and the gems engraved on it, it should be an object from the Ming Dynasty." ”
"Ming Dynasty, or pure gold?"
"How is this possible?"
"That's it, this kid has picked up a treasure!"
Xu Qingliu slowly returned to his seat, and Shen Ziming on the side was already in surprise.
"Brother, you are really my brother!" Shen Ziming said in amazement, "How did you tell that the black cat was pure gold?"
Xu Qingliu smiled and said, "First of all, when I just passed by, I saw a small piece of gold skin exposed from the black cat's body. However, due to the fact that it has been too old and because of the black paint around it, it looks a bit rusty on it. I went over and checked it, weighed it again, and I was pretty much sure. ”
Hearing Xu Qingliu say this, Shen Ziming involuntarily stretched out his thumb.
This is really a capable person, he can't see it no matter how he looks at it, but Xu Qingliu can see it at a glance, can this not be a god?
"Ming Dynasty golden cat ornaments, the starting price is five million!"
The starting price of this one is 5 million, which is really powerful.
After a while, fifteen million were photographed.
Xu Qingliu knew that the reason why this worthless ornament would be auctioned so high was because it was an object from the Ming Dynasty, and because it was made of pure gold, and there were some gem inlays on it as decoration.
This overall price is actually in the market, and it should be worth twenty or thirty million.
However, no one dares to shout higher now, and I don't know why.
"Because, this fifteen million was called by Boss Zhao. Shang Muli saw Xu Qingliu's doubts, so he explained, "No one can not give him face in front of the host." ”
I see, that's why he stopped when he called fifteen million.
Xu Qingliu saw Zhao Xin glancing in his direction, so he pretended to laugh jokingly: "Boss Zhao, just give me fifteen million!
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes were on him.
probably didn't expect that someone would dare to say such a thing, is this not afraid of death?
If you accidentally anger Zhao Xin, then it is a question whether you can continue to mix in the antique world.
This person is so not afraid of death?
I thought that Zhao Xin would go crazy, but Shang Muli was already ready, and he was ready to get up at any time to persuade him to fight in a round.
However, who knew that Zhao Xin just smiled indifferently, looked at Xu Qingliu and said, "What you said makes sense, then thirty-five million!"
"Goodbye, I'm kidding. ”
As soon as Xu Qingliu said this, he listened to the people on the stage under Zhao Xin's signal, and directly made a decision.
"Xu Qingliu!" Shang Muli looked at him with a little hatred and said, "What happened to you today, how do I feel, you are deliberately going against Boss Zhao today?"
