Chapter 228: Draw
"Mr. Zhou, don't report to ...... for the time being" Vice President Feng regretted it now, he originally thought he was presiding over a simple competition, but he didn't expect so many moths.
He complained in his heart about Ma Bowen, who was all harmed by the surname Ma.
The golden hairpin of the Tang Dynasty and the inkstone of the Ming Dynasty, the two antiques have problems, and they must be inseparable from the Ma family, but they didn't give him a little wind in advance, so he is very passive to deal with it now.
Suddenly, his phone rang, and he took it out and wanted to hang up.
Seeing the call prompt, he could only grit his teeth and choose to pick it up.
"You're presiding over the appraisal competition now?" Xu Qiang heard a man's voice on the other side of the phone, which should be an older man.
"Yes!" replied Vice President Feng.
Looking at Vice President Feng's humble attitude, Xu Qiang guessed that the man on the other side of the phone must have a higher identity and status than Vice President Feng, so he had to answer the phone on the spot, and his attitude was also very humble.
"Now there are rumors about this game, and there is a lot of negative news about our antique association, saying that we are in the same league with the Ma family, and you must try your best to protect the reputation of the association, do you know what to do?"
"President, I will, don't worry!"
The call was brief, but it was enough for Xu Qiang to judge some information.
The person who called should be the president of the antique association, although he was not at the scene, he knew some of the situation at the competition site through some news spread on the Internet.
He called Vice President Feng and asked Vice President Feng to put the reputation of the association first.
Vice President Feng finished the call, and Zhou Shuxiang also finished the call.
"Have you repaid the salute?" President Fu's face was a little ugly.
Before answering the president's call just now, he had been stopping Zhou Shuxiang.
But he didn't expect that as soon as he answered the president's call, he saw that Zhou Shuxiang had just finished the call, which made him immediately have a bad premonition.
"Of course, you have to repay the respect, the sooner you investigate something like this, the easier it will be to solve the case!" Zhou Shuxiang snorted coldly, he was very unpleasant to look at Vice President Feng now.
He trusted the antiques association to lend the inkstone.
even came to the game site to watch the game in high spirits.
But I didn't expect this to be the result now, someone did something on his inkstone, took away the antiques that might be priceless inside the inkstone, and used a high-imitation small inkstone to fill the number.
If Xu Qiang hadn't seen it, he would have been kept in the dark.
He seriously suspected that the people of the Antique Association insisted on stealing, because the eight judges present, as well as Vice President Feng, were all experts in identification.
Zhou Shuxiang thinks that since Xu Qiang can see it, the 8 judges and Vice President Feng on the scene will also be able to see it, after all, they are old-timers in the antique world, much older than Xu Qiang, and their identification ability must be stronger than Xu Qiang, but none of them said it.
Why didn't you say it?
Obviously, he wanted to cover up the past, but once he covered it up, it would only be Zhou Shuxiang who would suffer, how could he not be annoyed?
didn't directly scold Vice President Feng, he was already very restrained.
"Are you happy?" Seeing that Zhou Shuxiang reciprocated his respects and treated him coldly, Vice President Feng sighed, turned his head and saw Xu Qiang smiling, and he was angry.
If Xu Qiang could swallow his anger, or if he couldn't see the flaws, he wouldn't be so passive, so he was not angry with Xu Qiang.
"Are you blaming me?" Xu Qiang sneered.
"How could it be!" Vice President Feng hurriedly squeezed out a bright smile.
Because after reprimanding Xu Qiang, he immediately remembered that he was now at the scene of the game, and there were many spectators around, and his every move was in full view.
Some people are even taking pictures and videos, and their every move is being supervised.
Jing Fang came quickly, because Jing Ju was not far away.
"Hello, is it your respect?" asked Zhou Shuxiang.
"It's me who pays respect, and the situation is ......" Zhou Shuxiang hurriedly reported the situation.
Hearing that the amount involved may reach millions, Jing Fang also paid attention to it, if it is true, this is a big case.
Make a note and go through the procedure.
It wasn't until two o'clock in the afternoon that the Jingfang case-handling personnel left.
"If there is a problem with the inkstone in this game, what should we do with the game between the two of us?" Xu Qiang asked Vice President Feng, who announced the restart of the game.
Although the game was suspended for a long time, it was not canceled.
Even the many spectators at the scene, only a few people left, and the rest watched with great interest, today's game is too exciting, not the content of the game itself is wonderful, but the frequent major surprises.
They want to stay and see if there will be a bigger accident?
"I talked to the referees because there was something wrong with the antiques of the game, and we agreed that it would ...... Draw. Vice President Feng glanced at Xu Cheng.
He was very dissatisfied with Xu Qiang and thought that Xu Qiang was too capable of tossing.
And Xu Qiang's toss like this brought him a lot of trouble.
"A draw?"
"Yes, if you have an opinion to speak out, we can give due consideration!"
"No opinion, of course no opinion!" Xu Qiang sneered.
If this game is awarded to him, according to the rules of the best-of-three system, there is no need for the match to continue, because he won the first game.
And now to decide the first game of a tie, that is to say, he wins a draw and a game, and the next third game will be a tiebreaker.
The antique of the tiebreaker, brought up by Miss Manners, is an old-looking painting, slowly tiled on the front desk.
The draw was identified by Xu Qiang first, and Ma Lijin turned his back.
Xu Qiang came to the ancient picture and pretended to identify it.
If you want to appreciate a work of art, it still has a certain level, but when it comes to the identification of ancient paintings, he just doesn't know anything.
Like the first two games, he directly looked at the aura with ghost eyes.
Then he touched the painting with his hand, and suddenly showed a look of doubt.
Soon he knew that the time for his appraisal had arrived.
"With such a bright smile, it seems that the appraisal of ancient paintings is your forte?" When it was Malikin's turn, he did not start the appraisal immediately.
Because he felt that Xu Qiang's smile was a little strange, a question mark suddenly arose in his heart, could it be that there was something wrong with the ancient paintings on the stage?
"Guess what?"
"I'm not the roundworm in your stomach!" Ma Lijin snorted coldly, ignored Xu Qiang anymore, and walked to the ancient picture to concentrate and be firm.
Compared with Xu Qiang, Ma Lijin is a big expert.
As soon as I looked at the ancient paintings unfolding on the table, I already knew it.
Check out the features of ancient paintings and even reach for the paper.
"The paper is a little thick, and the general ancient paintings are thicker after being framed, and Xu Qiang's smile just now is strange, could it be that this painting is the same as Tang Bohu's painting?"
The first time he and Xu Qiang met was at a class reunion a few months ago, when he brought out Tang Bohu's ancient paintings and Yuan blue and white flowers.
I wanted to show my face and show off in front of my classmates.
But I didn't expect to meet Xu Qiang, and he slapped his face.
At that time, Tang Bohu's ancient paintings and the ancient paintings on the table now have some things in common, that is, the paper is relatively thick.
If it is an ordinary person's identification, it is difficult to notice this.
The problem is that Malikin has already suffered a loss once, and it is not long, only a few months later, and he still remembers it vividly.
"Definitely, Xu Qiang, you really shouldn't have laughed just now, if it weren't for the weird way you laughed, I wouldn't have guessed that there was a problem with the ancient painting, I wouldn't have found that the quality of the painting was too thick, and I wouldn't have thought of Tang Bohu's painting......" Ma Lijin, who took the truth, glanced at Xu Qiang provocatively.
Now that you've guessed the problem, the rest is much simpler.
Then the two wrote the answers together and handed them in together.
The ancient paintings and answers were handed over to the eight judges, who first identified the ancient paintings, and then looked at the answers of Xu Qiang and Ma Lijin.
"Xu Qiang, do you remember what happened when we first met?" While waiting for the final result, Malijin took the initiative to speak.
"Of course I remember, you gave me a painting of Tang Bohu's authentic painting!"
"The same thing won't happen a second time, I've learned my lesson last time, it's very profound, this time it won't go wrong again......"
"So what?"
"You can see it, I can see it too, this painting has a mezzanine, I can see it too!" Malijin looked at Xu Qiang proudly.
He guessed that Xu Qiang was smiling very proudly just now, and he must have thought that he couldn't see it, and he was going to take the initiative to tell Xu Qiang now that he could see that there was a mezzanine in the painting.
When he told Xuqiang, he stared at Xu Qiang's face.
He wanted to see the disappointed expression, but in the end he was disappointed.
When Xu Qiang heard his words, the smile on his face was still very bright, and there was no surprise at all, which made Ma Lijin very puzzled.
"You think there's a mezzanine in the painting?"
"Didn't you knowingly ask?"
"Of course I didn't ask knowingly, in my opinion, it's just that the paper is a little thicker, how can you think there is a mezzanine?" Xu Qiang smiled brighter.
"You don't lie to me, you must have seen it!" Ma Lijin didn't believe that Xu Qiang said that the paper was only a little thicker, and he thought that there was a mezzanine.
It's a pity that it was seen in the game, and the game has time to judge, and everyone only has ten minutes to evaluate.
He only had ten minutes to identify the mezzanine, and if he was given another quarter of an hour, he could see more information.
It's a pity that the rules of the game are the same for everyone and no one will be given special treatment, so it can only be determined that there is a mezzanine now, and more information is not known.
"I really don't lie to you, I didn't see a mezzanine!"
"You, hmph, I won't tell you, the result will come out immediately!" Seeing that Xu Qiang resolutely refused to admit it, Ma Lijin snorted coldly.
Vice President Feng, who was not far away, introduced the appraisal to the audience, and secretly popularized the situation of the two players.
Seeing Ma Lijin talking to Xu Qiang, and seeing Xu Qiang's bright smile, he had a bad premonition, and I am afraid that now he feels that he is going to make trouble again.
As the host of the competition, every time Xu Qiang does something, he is the first to bear the brunt, which makes him feel a lot of pressure.
He regretted it a little, he should have tried his best to persuade the 8 referees just now to decide that Xu Qiang won the second game, instead of giving a draw result, as long as Xu Qiang won, the game would be over.
The problem was that the people of the Ma family did not agree, and the Ma family used the conditions that he and the referee could hardly refuse, and let them judge that the second game was a draw.
Now it seems possible to shoot yourself in the foot.
He glanced at Ma Bowen on the sidelines, but Ma Bowen smiled at him.
At this time, the 8 referees have completed the appraisal, and then look at the answers handed in by the two people, and the audience's discussion is much smaller, because the results are out.
"I hope there won't be any more accidents, I can't stand the toss!" Vice President Feng prayed in his heart.
