Chapter 68: Questioned
When Wang Xiongfei received a call from Young Master Zhu, at the treasure appraisal meeting, the first project had already begun, and there was a vacant space in the middle, with nine antiques.
Identification is often a time-consuming process.
In particular, newcomers under the age of 30 will be more cautious and time-consuming to be evaluated in full view.
Therefore, it was decided to draw lots to select ten of the treasures brought to the boss, and let the young people who participated in the lottery identify the ten treasures that were drawn by lot.
Time is limited, with a maximum of 10 minutes per antique.
"Everyone, I have something to say!" When the start was about to be announced, Boss Long Wulong suddenly stood up.
"Boss Long, do you have anything to say?" asked Deputy Curator Li with a smile.
Boss Long, he is also well-known on the antique street, and this is a folk gathering today, a party rather than a meeting, for everyone to communicate, of course, you can speak freely, even if everyone has opinions and thinks he is a little troublesome, it is not good to stop him at this time.
"The first activity is to let young people show their abilities, which is very good, but it is unfair to some people, just like this Tang brother, as far as I know, he has been under Boss Sun for less than a month, and the study time is too short, so it is a bit difficult for him to participate in it. Boss Long looked at Tang Yin with a smile.
He was full of smiles, and all the words he said were for Tang Yin's good, and it sounded like he was fighting for Tang Yin.
However, in fact, he was accusing Tang of not being qualified to participate in the event, and wanted to kick Tang Yin out so that he could only watch from the sidelines.
Many of the people present were old oilers, who had been in the mall for decades, and immediately understood what Boss Long meant.
They are not surprised at all, because Boss Sun and Boss Long do not deal with each other, and it can even be said that they are mortal enemies, it is already a well-known thing, the grievances between the two have lasted for many years, and the mutual demolition has happened more than once, Tang Yin is just an excuse.
Everyone thinks that the real purpose of Long Wu is to sing against Boss Sun.
Only a very few people, like Boss Song who bought the Golden Inkstone, and Boss Zhang, who has already bought Tang Yin's inkstone, have guessed the truth.
Both of them knew very well that Boss Long had suffered a big loss at the hands of Tang Yin.
"Boss Long, you're not right, it's because of the short time to get started and the short time to get in touch with antiques that you should have more knowledge. Sun Laogen snorted coldly.
The grievances between Tang Yin and Boss Long, Sun Laogen also knows something, especially the matter of the golden inkstone, which has become a joke on the antique street.
"Aren't you afraid of damaging the confidence of young people?" said Boss Long.
"I understand Boss Long's kindness, there is nothing fair in the world at all, just like if you sell me a jade inkstone for five million, I can find a gold inkstone in it, and then sell it at twice the price, this is probably not fair to you, Boss Long, right?"
What the?
Not only the people from the antique street who came to participate in the treasure appraisal, but also many collectors, did not know that there was such a thing.
Now as soon as he heard Tang Yin say it directly, he looked at Boss Long's eyes a little strange.
Boss Long, who is also the owner of an antique shop, is also well-known on the antique street, but was he missed by a young man?
Deputy Director Li also noticed Tang Yin, he recognized it, Tang Yin was the person he met on the antique street two days ago, and recognized the broken porcelain pieces of Ru kiln.
"Boss Long, since he is a young man, he should exercise more, and as for whether he can withstand the pressure, let him choose it himself. "Glancing at Boss Long, Deputy Curator Li said.
Boss Long opened his mouth and wanted to refute, but then shut up again.
Deputy Director Li, in the collection circle of Longmen City, can be called Taishan Beidou, not a small antique shop owner can contend with, once he offends Deputy Director Li, I am afraid that after today's treasure exchange, his antique shop will usher in countless troubles.
Thinking of this, although he was a little unwilling, he could only sleep helplessly.
"The surname Tang, the show has just begun, you wait for me......" After retreating, he glanced coldly at Tang Yin, who was smiling.
Of course, he refused to give up, between him and Tang Yin, one person had to fall to be considered the end.
"I declare, young people in the antique circle, you can start and show your abilities to the fullest!" Deputy Director Li announced.
As soon as he finished announcing, more than 30 young people, including Tang Yin, walked towards nine antiques.
And the older generation of antiques, this is gathered together in twos and threes, whispering comments, guessing who can stand out.
"Hey, what a big seal?" The third antique Tang Yin looked at was a mutton fat white jade seal, which was made of the top-grade mutton fat white jade.
On the seal, a giant dragon hovers.
From the pattern alone, it can be seen that it is a royal article, and no other minister of civil and military affairs dared to carve a dragon on the seal.
"Qianlong seal?" Tang Yin quickly distinguished, this was a Qianlong seal.
In the ancient history of China, Qianlong was also a famous emperor, long-lived, and the longest-reigning emperor.
Qianlong was very fond of all kinds of seals, and according to statistics, he had more than 1,000 seals in his life.
In addition, compared with other dynasties, the Qing Dynasty has the shortest time from the present, so there are more Qing Dynasty items preserved than other dynasties.
And many of the more than 1,000 seals of Emperor Qianlong have been well preserved.
"I didn't expect that there was a Qianlong seal, and it was a large seal, and it was well preserved, I'm afraid it was the most valuable item today, right?" said a young man next to Tang Yin.
"Not necessarily, you see that there is a bloodstone square seal in front, although it is not a palace imperial item, but it is big and bloody, and it is also of extraordinary value, at least it is not worse than the Qianlong seal, maybe it is more valuable. ”
Hearing the discussion between the two, Tang Yin shook his head lightly and went straight to the next antique.
Tang Yin's appraisal speed was very fast, and he only took half an hour to complete the nine antiques, and it was in the case of deliberate delay.
Before Tang Yin, there were already two people who had completed the identification.
Tang Yin wrote his appraisal and handed it to the staff next to him to count their appraisal results.
After all, it is the identification of the nature of the competition, and there must always be a high and low, and there will be some small rewards for the winners.
Of course, the most important thing for the young people who participated was not the reward, but the victory, which left an impression in the hearts of the collectors who came to participate in the treasure fair.
Leaving a good impression is good for the future.
"Have you taken a closer look?" Seeing that Tang Yin had completed the appraisal for the third time, Sun Laogen smiled on the surface, but he was really worried in his heart.
Although Tang Yin has an extraordinary talent in antiques, the time he has been in contact with antiques is too short.
Even if a lot of knowledge can be memorized, when it comes to actual practice, if you don't have a certain amount of experience, there will still be deviations.
"Don't worry, you've been looking very carefully!" Tang Yin nodded.
By the hour mark, everyone had finished the test, and no one had used it for the longest time.
"First of all, I declare that this is just a small entertainment program, not a formal competition, so the process will be simplified as much as possible, and what we want to explain next is only for controversial antiques, for those who are unanimously judged to be true, or unanimously judged to be imitations, we will no longer explain it, is there any point in everyone?" Deputy Director Li spoke.
If it is a regular competition, it must be explained one by one, regardless of whether there is any objection, at least so that the audience can understand it.
Today, however, the situation is different, on the one hand, all the people who come are from the antique circle, and on the other hand, it is just a small entertainment show.
Of course, everyone will not have any objections, on the one hand, it is indeed as Deputy Director Li said, a small entertainment program, on the other hand, it is to give Deputy Director Li face, in the antique circle of Longmen City, Deputy Director Li is a real master, has a pivotal position.
"The first antique, the bloodstone square seal, everyone judged it to be genuine, and there is no objection!" Deputy Director Li began to read out the statistical results.
"The sixth antique, the seal of Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, except for one person judged to be a restoration, the others judged to be genuine!" Deputy Director Li glanced at Wang Wei.
"What kind of restoration, this is clearly a Qianlong seal in good condition, who is so eyeless?"
"It's normal for young people to make some mistakes. ”
"Don't say a word, let's listen to Deputy Director Li continue. ”
Everyone immediately talked about it, because the Qing Qianlong seal placed on the table, a large seal, at least looked perfect on the outside.
"The ninth antique, the plum vase, was judged by all to be a high imitation. It seems that it is really the back waves of the Yangtze River pushing the front waves, and if I see such a perfect plum vase at their age, I am afraid that I will definitely judge the real thing!" Deputy Director Li joked with a smile.
"Now there are objections, respectively, the third antique, the fifth antique, and the sixth antique. Deputy Director Li announced the final results.
"If the third antique is judged to be fake, has anyone volunteered to come up and explain it?" Deputy Director Li looked at the young people around him.
Go up and explain?
Everyone immediately hesitated, if they could explain it, it would certainly be brilliant.
But the people present now are not ordinary antique lovers, let alone the general public, all of them are people in the antique circle.
If you accidentally say a wrong sentence, ordinary people can't hear it, but people in the antique circle will definitely be able to hear it, and you will be a big ugly.
"If you don't mind, let me talk about it!" Tang Yin stepped forward.
It's him again!
As soon as he saw Tang Yin stand up, Boss Long's face sank, and he was the last thing he wanted to see Tang Yin showy.
"No one minds, young people should have the courage of young people, they are not afraid of making mistakes, and they are afraid that they don't have the courage to stand up!" Deputy Director Li said with a smile.
"Thank you Deputy Director Li for your encouragement, thank you for giving me this opportunity, let me explain, why the third antique, the early painting of Old Man Qi Baishi, will be judged by me to be an imitation, I don't know who has a magnifying glass? Can you borrow it from me?" Tang Yin hugged his fist to the people around him, and he didn't look nervous at all.
