Chapter 85: The Big Guys of the Parties
However, although he didn't take the treasures of the town store, the antiques that Su Chen brought this time were also carefully selected by him, not to mention the beauty of the group, but at least it would not lose the face of the Treasure Pavilion.
"Okay, now please ask the owners of the major antique shops to bring the antiques they have prepared, and we will select six pieces on the spot. β
As the host little beauty spoke, the owners of the antique shops sitting below brought their antiques to the rostrum.
Su Chen didn't hesitate, walked up with the box that he had been holding in his hand, and placed it in the area next to the rostrum that was specially used to place antiques.
Because it is public, the entire selection process is also within the sight of everyone present.
It's just that because of the secrecy measures, everyone doesn't know which antique shop the antiques on the stage correspond to, and they can't even tell the authenticity.
"I think that jade Ruyi is very good, the color is bright green, and it should be worth a lot of money. β
"I think that amphora is very good, it's quite old. β
The audience who were invited to watch the play were full of interest and were discussing enthusiastically.
It was Su Chen, but when he saw the double-headed jade Ruyi on the stage that was being observed in his hand by Qian Bao, vice president of the Municipal Cultural Relics Association, his face showed a look of astonishment.
'Why does this jade Ruyi look so familiar?'
Although he felt that he seemed to have seen it somewhere, Su Chen didn't care. After all, there are so many antiques in the world, especially jade Ruyi, which represents the auspicious meaning of antiques, and there are a lot of surviving antiques.
"Hehe, Boss Lin, I don't know which treasure you prepared this time, if you can't be selected later, it will be very embarrassing. β
I don't know if it was intentional, Chen Wentian's position was next to Lin Xiongye, and at this time he turned around, I don't know what kind of mentality, he said such a sentence.
"Then don't bother Boss Chen. Lin Xiongye just glanced at him, and his tone was a little tough.
Chen Wentian didn't care, and after stabbing such a sentence, he turned his head.
To say that Liu Qingyuan is the three of them, they are worthy of being the old-timers in the antique circle, and they also have deep attainments in the identification of antiques, and after a while, four antiques were selected.
The host saw that the three guests had been selected, and immediately picked up the microphone and said: "Okay, our three judges have already got the results, let's see which four antique shops have been selected." β
This host is indeed quite professional, very good at mobilizing the atmosphere of the scene, when the results were announced, he deliberately made a fool of himself, and then said loudly: "The first one selected is Wentian Pavilion, the second one selected is the Golden Pawnshop, the third selected one is the Treasure Pavilion, and the fourth one selected is Jubaoxuan......"
Hearing the host's announcement of the results, the owner of the antique shop who was not selected was still a little disappointed, although he had expected it, but he was only disappointed, but he did not have the slightest objection.
Because the four selected ones are the closest in strength to Changgong Street, they are obviously not on the same level as other antique shops.
And Lin Xiongye saw that the Treasure Pavilion was selected, and his face finally showed a relaxed look.
It was Chen Wentian, hearing this result, but a trace of coldness flashed on his face, and he snorted heavily, and Su Chen and Lin Xiongye, who were watching, couldn't help but shake their heads and laugh.
"In addition to these four antiques, there are three other pieces that were temporarily drawn from the city museum. Because this seminar has gathered so many high-level talents in the Jinnan antique industry, I wonder if everyone present is interested in enjoying a competition?"
Competition?
As soon as they heard this word, the audience was very amused, and their interest was immediately aroused.
"What's the competition? Tell me, I can't wait. β
Seeing the warm atmosphere of the scene, the host struck while the iron was hot and began to tell the rules of this competition: "This competition, each of the four antique shops that have just been shortlisted will send an appraiser to participate, screen, identify, and evaluate the remaining six antiques in addition to their own home, and the most perfect answer will be the winner of this competition." By the way, the winner will receive a precious prize provided by Boss Chen of Wentian Pavilion, a pen washing pot from the official kiln of Longquan kiln in the Ming Dynasty. β
When it came to the winning prize, most of the people in the audience looked surprised. Even Su Chen was stunned, he didn't expect Chen Wentian to be so generous at all.
You must know that the Ming Dynasty Longquan official kiln products, even if they are not unique, the value is enough to be called a lot of money, if it is well preserved, similar to the pen washing pot, at least the value is more than one million.
After thinking about it, Su Chen couldn't help but glance at Lin Xiongye, and they all saw the meaning in the other party's eyes.
If it weren't for Chen Wen's naΓ―ve and generous and didn't care about the million, it could only mean one thing, that is, he was sure to win.
If Wen Tiange wins, then he naturally doesn't have to pay this Longquan official kiln pen washing pot.
"Hehe, Wen Tiange has a good calculation, but it's a pity that you met me, and I will let you steal chickens and rice today." β
Looking at Chen Wentian's confident appearance, Su Chen sneered a few times in his heart.
"Now, I have asked the four major antique shops to send appraisers to the scene. β
Because this competition was expected by everyone, the four major antique shops all brought their best appraisers, and the candidate on the side of the Treasure Pavilion was naturally Su Chen, and the one sent out by Wentian Pavilion was Pang Xie.
Under the gaze of many audience guests, Su Chen and the appraisers of the other three antique shops walked to the rostrum.
Because it was on the stage at the same time, even the host didn't know that person represented the antique shop, but it didn't matter, when the time came, the form would be issued, and as long as the results were written on the form.
However, as soon as he came to the stage, Su Chen attracted the attention of most of the audience.
As we all know, antique appraisal is a very test of eyesight, and a large part of this eyesight, in addition to a lot of professional knowledge, depends on the accumulation of experience.
Therefore, some appraisers with vicious eyesight are basically not young.
For example, now, among the four appraisers, except for Su Chen, the youngest of the others is nearly forty years old, you say that in this case, how can Su Chen, who is only in his twenties, not arouse the curiosity of others.
"Who is that young man? So young, are you sure you're not here to play?"
Many viewers have such thoughts flashing in their hearts.
But there are also viewers who have heard about the Gu Shengzhai incident, and they immediately popularized science.
Hearing that Su Chen was the young man who was rumored to have the skill of returning to the heavens, there were bursts of exclamations in the crowd again.
Hearing the sound around him, Chen Wentian's face showed hatred, this was a seminar he took the lead, and the limelight was stolen by this surnamed Su. However, thinking of the competition to be held later, the corners of his mouth drew a slight arc.
After a brief introduction of themselves, the moderator quickly asked the four appraisers to take their places.
When they came to the square table with seven antiques, a staff member gave each of them a form and a pen.
The form is marked in great detail, including the year, valuation, name, and other information of the antique, which can be said to be not easy.
"It seems that the four appraisers are ready, so the competition begins! The appraisal time of this competition is thirty minutes. You may think that this time is a bit short, but according to the purpose of our competition, it is to see which appraiser's basic skills are the most solid, so the shorter the time, the more the appraiser's ability can be tested. β
Because of the need to wait for Su Chen and them to complete their appraisal for thirty minutes, in order to avoid everyone's impatience, the host said a few words from time to time to ease the atmosphere of the scene.
Because the long table with the seven antiques was deliberately moved not very far from the audience, many guests and viewers began to appreciate it, and there was a lot of discussion and buzzing.
"I'll just say, that jade Ruyi will definitely be elected, but I don't know which one?"
"Hehe, my vision is not bad, and the big amphora is also in it. β
"I couldn't see it clearly just now, and I don't know which three of the three antiques the city museum took out. β
Obviously, this kind of audience discussion can be regarded as a test of the appraiser's ability, if you can't rule out this kind of interference, it will inevitably have an impact on the appraisal process, if the mental acceptance ability is worse, it may even be affected by the audience's casual words, resulting in wrong appraisal results.
Su Chen didn't have the slightest abnormality, the noisy voices in the audience seemed to be automatically filtered by him, and his eyes kept on the other six antiques except for his own.
Because his ability is only effective on the kind of antiques that are incomplete, but these six pieces on the scene are all intact, so Su Chen can only use the antique knowledge that exists in his mind to identify.
In order to avoid interfering with each other, Su Chen and the other three appraisers all consciously separated the appraisal.
The first thing he identified was a large jar with double animal ears, with an obvious Ming and Qing Dynasty style glaze and bright color, and the jar was covered with dragon patterns, which looked quite imposing.
After picking up this antique carefully and carefully identifying it again for a few minutes, Su Chen knew it in his heart and began to write down his appraisal results.
"The early dragon pattern double beast ear jar in the Ming Dynasty was produced by the gourd kiln of the Ming Dynasty, which was well-made and estimated at around 1.3 million. β
After identifying the first one, he automatically crossed over to the one that belonged to the Treasure Pavilion and looked at the third antique, but this time, he was stunned.
This is a double-headed auspicious cloud jade Ruyi, which is the antique that Su Chen felt familiar when he was offstage.
Now that I look at it up close, it's even more familiar.
After more than ten seconds, Su Chen patted his head, isn't this the jade Ruyi that a middle-aged man got in the store last week and was ready to sell, how could it appear on this, this is a fake.
Su Chen's expression was strange, and he was a little confused.
And Pang Xie, who was appraising a square purple clay pot on the side, saw Su Chen stunned there, and thought that he had encountered a problem, so he leaned over to him, and sneered in a low voice: "Shopkeeper Su, this treasure appraisal is not as good as the restoration of cultural relics, I think you, it is better to admit defeat as soon as possible, otherwise it will be embarrassing later." β
After speaking, he snorted proudly twice.
But he didn't want to, Su Chen didn't bother to bird him at all, he didn't even look at it, and walked directly to the fourth antique.
This can make Pang evil angry, and his oily brain can't help but burst out, but now in this kind of public, he really doesn't dare to say anything ugly, so he can only hold back the anger in his heart and look at the purple clay pot that he just grabbed in his hand.
This purple clay pot is an antique provided by the Treasure Pavilion, and it is the only antique he does not understand.
Why is it the only one, because in addition to this antique in the Treasure Pavilion, there is also this one, and the information of the other five antiques is all in his mind.
