Chapter 805: Magic and Curios
"There may be. Su Chen said with a smile, "Shirley, it's been three months since you left the ruins, are you used to life here now?"
"Of course, life here is very interesting and it makes me feel very warm. "I never thought that I would have the talent to identify antiques." ”
"yes, you've always been amazing. This time, I just took advantage of the party to let everyone know you. Su Chen said with a smile, "In addition to my boss, there is another excellent treasure connoisseur in the Treasure Pavilion. ”
"People aren't that good, aren't they?" said Luo Lan Shirley with some embarrassment.
Su Chen drove the car to the door of Shengyun Hotel, and after parking the car, Luo Lan Shirley took Su Chen's hand and walked in.
As the first treasure connoisseur in Jinnan City, Su Chen's arrival undoubtedly attracted the attention of many people.
The person who invited Su Chen over was the Cai family, one of the three wealthy families.
Cai Xiye is the host of this banquet. He also owned an antique dealership.
And his target was Su Chen's Treasure Pavilion.
The goal of inviting Su Chen over today was very simple, that is, to defeat Su Chen in antique appraisal.
Actually, Su Chen also knew Cai Xiye's purpose, but Su Chen did not refuse.
On the one hand, Su Chen was confident in his level of treasure appreciation, and on the other hand, he couldn't retreat. Once he retires, Cai Xiye will inevitably create some bad reviews.
This will have an impact on the business of the Jumbo Court General Store, which will open soon.
Cai Xiye wants to defeat Su Chen and increase his popularity. Su Chen wanted to smash Cai Xiye's conspiracy and maintain his reputation, so that the momentum of the comprehensive branch of the treasure store could accumulate to the peak.
When the time comes, after the opening of the Jumbo Pavilion comprehensive branch, everyone will definitely go to the show.
When everyone came here, they knew that this was the rivalry between Su Chen and Cai Xiye. So, more people arrived, and they wanted to see who would win this battle.
Cai Xiye personally met with Su Chen. Although Su Chen is an opponent, Cai Xiye's attitude towards Su Chen is still very good. He smiled and said to Su Chen, "It's an honor to be able to meet Master Su Chen today. I originally thought that the focus of Master Su Chen's life was only on the one acre and three points of land in the Treasure Pavilion. I didn't expect Master Su Chen to come to participate in some activities. ”
"Cai Shao's kind invitation, how could I refuse?" Su Chen said with a smile, "I thought that the three giants had declined, but I didn't expect Cai Shao to recognize the reality yet." What is already rotten should rot in the ground, not in the dying throes. That would only make it more ridiculous. ”
"Thank you Master Su Chen for your advice, I think Master Su Chen is biased against us. But it doesn't matter, today I will let Master Su Chen understand that the background and the nouveau riche are still two different things. Cai Xiye said lightly.
Although the two of them talk and laugh well, in fact, their tricks are traps.
"Master Su Chen, please take a seat. Cai Xiye said with a smile.
"Good. Shirley, let's go. Su Chen said.
Su Chen found a place to sit down, just in time to see what the hell Cai Xiye was going to do.
There are more and more people, and today's banquet has begun, and delicious dishes have been served.
However, the people who come here are more involved in socializing, meeting people, and even watching good shows.
I'm afraid that few people will start eating like Su Chen and Luo Lan Xueli.
"This sweet and sour pork rib is not bad. ”
"I like the salt-and-pepper chicken wings too. ”
"I think it's better. ”
Su Chen and Luo Lan Shirley, you and I are like professional gourmets commenting.
The people at this table also seemed to be aroused by Su Chen and Luo Lan Xueli.
Cai Xiye has already arranged a show, which is called "Magic and Antiques".
The host said with a smile: "Everyone should have heard of magic performances and also know about antique identification. But I don't think you'll ever think that there's a relationship between the two. Today's show will tell you that magic can also be used to identify antiques. ”
Speaking of which, everyone expressed curiosity.
Su Chen pursed his lips, in fact, magic could not be used to identify antiques at all. If he could, the magician would have made a fortune long ago. Identifying an antique makes a lot more money than they would make by going to a magic show.
Cai Xiye played this set, but he just found an antique treasure connoisseur who can do magic.
And everyone in the know knows that Cai Xiye's goal is to humiliate Su Chen.
The show began, and the fun performance caught everyone's attention.
The magician was holding a playing card, and on the table were three antiques prepared by the staff.
"I'm going to use this card to identify which of the antiques here is the most valuable. I'd like to ask a few treasure connoisseurs to come up and observe them, and then write the answers. I'll post the answer eventually. Then you can see if my appraisal will be correct?" said the magician with a smile.
"Interesting, is he really that good?" someone asked in surprise.
"Won't you see it later?"
Immediately several connoisseurs were invited, and they selected the answers, which were handed over to the host.
The moderator publishes the answers of the three connoisseurs on stage.
And the magician is facing away from the stage, and he can't see the answer clearly.
"Look, there's nothing written on my playing cards. The three antiques are A, B, and C. Then the answer to the most precious antique will automatically appear on the playing card. The magician said with a smile.
After noticing everyone's enthusiasm, the corners of Cai Xiye's mouth hooked up a smile. Everything was as he expected. He used the connection between magicians and antiques to attract everyone's attention.
After that, this magic treasure connoisseur defeated Su Chen with great popularity, then he would announce the news of his work in the Cai family's antique dealership.
Everyone often remembers the first place, and the obscure one is often the second place.
Cai Xiye looked at Su Chen, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Su Chen, today is the beginning of your fall from the top of the clouds." ”
But Cai Xiye found that Su Chen also looked at him. He noticed the smile on the corner of Su Chen's mouth.
"Did he notice?" Cai Xiye's gaze hurriedly shifted to other places, and he was surprised in his heart.
"Okay, let's see, what's the answer?" the host took the playing cards from the magician's hand and opened them.
The answer above is C.
The big screen is also written with C.
The answer written on the playing card is correct.
Suddenly, the magician's program ushered in warm applause.
"The next antique is more difficult, and I use antique reduction. I will take out a few antiques that have not been restored, and then use antique restoration techniques to restore the antiques in more than ten seconds. The magician said.
"Is there really such a magic trick?" exclaimed. "No way. If anything, curio restoration wouldn't be so rare. There are also those who firmly disbelieve it.
Su Chen said to Luo Lan Xueli, "Xueli, do you see something?"
"There are some markings on those antiques, which are just tricks, not real antique identification and antique restoration. Luo Lan Shirley said.
"Shirley, your progress is really getting more and more obvious. Su Chen said with a smile, "Let's take a look at his play first." I'm going to play in a moment. ”
"You're going to win, there's no fun in a game like that. Luo Lan Shirley said, "That guy's level is too far from yours." ”
"No, it makes sense. Some people don't think they can do anything and want to challenge me. So I'm waiting for him to grow and become popular. As you know, it's not easy to do business with this idea right now. After he has managed to attract popularity, I will beat him. His popularity will be attracted to me.
When the time comes, I will be able to advertise my upcoming Jumbo Pavilion general store. Su Chen said.
Hearing Su Chen's words, Luo Lan Xueli was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Su Chen, you are really still an advertising expert." ”
"Passing the award, for the sake of life, forced to be helpless. Su Chen sighed.
Luo Lan Xueli chuckled: "I think some people are really helpless, after all, they provoked you." ”
The magician didn't know that he was still performing. He was pleased with his performance.
"Everyone is optimistic, these three antiques look ordinary on the outside, and that's because they haven't been restored. The first antique is porcelain from the Song Dynasty. It has a lot of cracks on the outside, and all I have to do is fix it. The magician said.
"Then it's time to witness the miracle. ”
Everyone looked at these antiques and wanted to see the process of restoration by the magician.
But before they could see it clearly, the cracks in this porcelain were gone.
"My God, how powerful Master Feng is. Under his reduction, the texture of the porcelain is gone. This must have been a stroke of genius. The host said with emotion.
Master Feng was not affected, but carried out the restoration of the second antique.
The second antique is a jade Buddha, which has become potholed due to the corrosion of time. Master Feng instantly restored it to its original state. The shiny appearance was in stark contrast to just now.
"It's amazing. ”
"I will be a fan of Master Feng from now on. ”
"This is the First Treasure Collector. Treasure appreciation with magic, and the speed of treasure appreciation is also very fast. I saw a particularly enjoyable performance. Thank you, Master Feng. ”
Everyone's emotions were a little excited, and Master Feng bowed slightly to express his gratitude.
But Su Chen shook his head, in fact, these have been rehearsed many times. It's just that people don't know.
How could this level be Su Chen's opponent?
Su Chen glanced at Cai Xiye and saw that Cai Xiye's face was full of smugness. Su Chen was even more disdainful. How can this kind of guy be his opponent?
If it weren't for the fact that he happened to be promoting the Treasure Pavilion General Branch, Su Chen wouldn't have had to pay attention to him.
The third antique was also identified by the magician, and everyone's enthusiasm was very high.
"Master Feng, mighty!Master Feng, one more!"
Master Feng stood in the crowd, receiving everyone's praise.
