Chapter 191: Treasure Appreciation in Progress
After meeting with the three appraisal guests, after Liu Yueyi left, Su Chen also followed.
"Ms. Liu, there is something I still want to trouble you. β
"Mr. Su, you say. Liu Yueyi said politely.
"That's right, when I take the stage, can you add the name of my Treasure Pavilion when I introduce it?" Su Chen said.
"This ......" Liu Yueyi hesitated for a moment and said: "Mr. Su, the presiding speech was set at the beginning, and the identity we arranged for you is a famous folk collector, a genius appraiser, and a miscellaneous appraisal expert, if you add the Treasure Pavilion......"
As she spoke, she paused and said, "Okay, I'm the host anyway, so I'll advertise this." β
Although Liu Yueyi is sometimes sloppy, she is not really cute, so she immediately knew the purpose of Su Chen letting her do this.
Seeing Liu Yueyi agree, Su Chen immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Thank you Miss Liu, when the show is over, I will invite you to dinner." β
"Okay, but I'll give you an ad for free, and I won't go to the usual places. Liu Yueyi joked.
"Rest assured, definitely not your average place. β
Because he was going to the dressing room at noon, although there was still some time before noon, Su Chen did not leave the Golden Jue Hotel, but went to the hotel room opened by the TV station for him to rest for a while.
At about eleven o'clock, people from the TV station came to inform them to go to dinner together, and when they had finished eating, Su Chen and the other three appraisal guests came to the dressing room.
Changing into the unified cyan one-piece caftan of the guests, Su Chen looked at himself in the mirror and felt awkward.
When a person in his twenties wears this, he has a feeling of disobedience no matter how he looks at it, and Sun Bufan, who is on the side, looks like an old pedant when he wears this clothes, who can he reason with.
After all, it goes without saying what kind of clothes are the most appropriate to wear at what age.
However, Su Chen also knew that in order to appear more professional and formal, this set of outfits was really necessary.
After the makeup artist dressed him up a little older, it was almost time for the show to be held, and at this moment, there was already a long queue in the corridors inside and outside the hotel, and outside the hotel, there were even more private collectors holding various objects.
The four experts walked into the venue in turn, and each time they came in, the host gave a grand introduction, and the scene was naturally a round of applause.
Speaking of which, among the four people, except for Su Chen, the other three have all been on similar shows, so they all have experience, as soon as they appeared, that kind of strong celebrity style came out, and when Su Chen arrived, although his face was as usual, and his heart fluctuated, but after all, he lacked that kind of temperament.
However, this did not prevent the audience from applauding.
Because most of these audiences are real antique lovers, and most of them are Jinnan locals, and Su Chen's reputation in Jinnan has actually reached a point where he didn't expect it.
So when Su Chen entered the venue, the enthusiasm of the applause at the scene was better than the previous three.
This made Su Chen stunned for a moment.
It turns out that he is so popular?
Even Liu Yueyi was slightly surprised, although she had already known something before, knowing that Su Chen was a really capable person, but she didn't expect him to be so popular, for a while, she had a strong curiosity about this young man who was about the same age as her.
The audience seats of the entire treasure appreciation conference venue are presented in a circular distribution, Su Chen and the four guests are naturally sitting in the front position, and there is a large screen on their right, on which there is a large projection screen, every time there is an antique that is considered to be more precious, it will be presented on the projection screen.
At this time, in the front row of the audience seats, there were two people whose faces were already very ugly.
"Boss Yan, we sponsored this show, why did this Su Chen become an appraisal guest?" said a middle-aged man a little depressed.
Just now, when he heard Su Chen's words on the Taiwan Times, "Chief appraiser of Jinnan City Treasure Pavilion Antique Shop, miscellaneous appraisal expert, genius appraiser Su Chen", his face darkened.
Especially the warm applause of the audience, it was even more thoughtful to pat it in his heart.
The middle-aged man sitting next to him also had an ugly face, but he didn't have the slightest choice, so he could only say helplessly: "This kid does have some ability, and it is said that he has a deep relationship with Liu Lao, I think it should be because of Liu Lao." β
This guy is talking nonsense, but he accidentally tells the truth of the facts.
However, even if he knew what they could do, he could only continue to watch it aggrievedly, faintly expecting Su Chen to identify the mistake on the spot and lose a big face, so that the blow to the Treasure Pavilion would be huge.
After waiting for the four appraisal guests to sit down, Liu Yueyi and another tall and handsome male host stood in the center of the venue and began to host.
"All the guests at the scene, all the audience in front of the TV, welcome to watch...... Next, I would like to invite Director Liu of the Jinnan Municipal Bureau of Culture to speak. β
Because it was the first day of the event, and the event was led by the Cultural Affairs Bureau, it was natural for the Director of the Cultural Affairs Bureau to come to the stage to say a few words, which were nothing more than clichΓ©s, such as what cultural relics are important witnesses of Chinese culture.
After saying a few words, Director Liu announced the start of the treasure appreciation conference, and then sat in the audience.
Su Chen's eyesight is better, and he always feels that Director Liu's appearance is similar to Liu Yueyi, thinking that the two have the same surname, it seems that the answer is obvious.
The treasure appreciation activity lasted for a total of five days, the first four days are considered auditions, the last day, is the selection, in the end will be selected by each expert in these days in the collection they identified in the most precious one, a total of four to participate in the final public evaluation, the selection of the top of the private collection in Jinnan City.
Therefore, this first day is also the day with the largest number of collections, and each time it is not one by one, but three of them are identified together, which can be regarded as a way to improve efficiency.
As soon as the appraisal activity began, three people walked in one after another, the first one was holding a large blue and white porcelain in his hand, and he came directly to Su Chen as soon as he came up.
"Master Su, you can help me take a look at this object of mine, but I took it out more than ten years ago, can you show me if it's real?"
Four experts: "......"
Su Chen smiled, pointed to Xu Ming on the other end, and said to this Tibetan friend: "You are porcelain, the identification of porcelain is on that side, you look for expert Xu." β
"Ah, mistaken?" The Tibetan friend scratched his head, and then came to Xu Ming with blue and white porcelain.
Xu Ming's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, but he still took it seriously.
It should be explained here that Su Chen's identity this time is an expert in the identification of miscellaneous items, and miscellaneous items are a large-scale classification in antiques, including wood carving, ivory carving, bamboo carving, lacquerware, snuff bottles, etc. Porcelain, on the other hand, is another major category of antiques.
Su Chen's fame in Jinnan was too great, causing this Tibetan friend to run to Su Chen's side as soon as he came in, which made Xu Ming very embarrassed.
After the Tibetan friend left, another Tibetan friend came over with a wooden sculpture of a Bodhisattva.
"Master Su, you can help me see this wood carving, which was handed down by my grandfather. β
Su Chen nodded, he didn't believe his, in the antique world, this kind of inheritance for many years is the most unbelievable, maybe he only got it yesterday, and he will tell you that it was passed down by his grandfather's grandfather.
At the first glance of this Bodhisattva wood carving, Su Chen determined his attributes, but in order to avoid others saying that he was talking nonsense, Su Chen still pretended to be serious and looked around a few times.
"Your wood carving skills are average, and your technique is stiff, and you don't pay attention to some parts of the Bodhisattva statue that need attention. For example, you see, this jade bottle, the willow branches in it are facing the wrong direction, so you are, it should be a modern handicraft, and the wood is also made of relatively ordinary black wood, the value is not big. β
"Oh, that's right. β
The Tibetan friend scratched his head, but didn't say anything, just hugged the wood carving and left.
After this appraisal was completed, Su Chen turned his head sideways and began to watch Sun Bufan's appraisal next to him with great interest.
Sun Bufan, who specializes in jade identification, is a well-known jade expert in Jiangnan Province, and is identifying a jade bracelet at this time.
After looking at it for less than a minute, Sun Bufan already had a bottom in his heart, put down the bracelet, and said: "The market of jadeite has been booming in recent years, the price is rising year by year, and natural jadeite has the characteristics of heat transfer. β
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, the female Tibetan friend immediately stopped doing it, and shouted with an unhappy face: "Hey, are you mistaken, my jadeite is a commodity, it cost more than 20,000 yuan at the time, and you actually said that it is worth 1,000 yuan, are you an expert? Don't talk nonsense." β
This female Tibetan friend has a pungent temperament, and she scolded Sun Bufan all the time, and then her face turned dark.
Su Chen looked at the jade bracelet placed on the bracelet, and already knew that Sun Lao's identification was right, so he immediately said: "This lady, your jadeite is indeed a C goods, although it looks beautiful, but it is the result of being soaked in medicine, I ask you, this jade bracelet, do you smell a pungent smell." β
Su Chen's voice was not loud, but it was very clear, and after this female Tibetan friend heard it, her face suddenly changed.
Because what Su Chen said was true.
She had inadvertently smelled a strange smell of this jadeite before, but she didn't understand jadeite either, and thought it was normal.
"In the process of carving and making, it is impossible to add any potion to soak the high-grade jadeite, if you don't believe it, you can take it to any jewelry store in Jinnan City for identification. β
Su Chen glanced at her and said lightly.
The female Tibetan friend thought for a moment, picked up the jade bracelet on the table and ran out quickly.
Seeing this, Sun Bufan was also relieved, in the past, they helped people to appraise, but what they were most afraid of was this kind of person, who didn't believe in the appraisal results, and couldn't speak ugly.
