Not to mention how Sun Wentao made Guan Rongfei unkind and unjust, at this time, almost all the people in the pre-exhibition hall had already gathered around the display case of the red bottle, although there were not many people, but there were also one hundred and eighty people.

Most of these onlookers are collectors from all over the world, many of whom consider themselves to be sharp-eyed, and one of them, a veteran collector from Guangdong Province, has already questioned Tang Dou's assertion that the bottle is sheep porcelain, and his doubts also represent the voices of many people.

Tang Dou is not afraid of making this matter bigger, of course, the more people around, the better.

There was such a big movement in the pre-exhibition hall, which naturally alarmed the people of Sotheby's auction house, and Xu Lele, the manager of Sotheby's auction house China branch, hurriedly rushed over with Magellan, the chief appraiser of the auction house, after hearing the news.

Xu Lele is a British Chinese, born in the United Kingdom and grew up in the United Kingdom, from language habits to words and deeds have basically been completely Europeanized, but Xu Lele's father also gave him such a very Chinese name, maybe Xu Lele's father used this way to express his homesickness.

It's a pity that Xu Lele has long regarded himself as an Englishman.

Xu Lele has no feelings for China, but providence, Xu Lele entered Sotheby's auction house after graduating from Cambridge University in the United Kingdom after graduating from the University of Cambridge with a doctorate, because of his outstanding performance, he was promoted to the regional manager of the sole party within a few years, probably because Xu Lele is an overseas Chinese, Sotheby's headquarters sent him to the Chinese branch as the CEO, responsible for presiding over the work of the Sotheby's China branch.

Xu Lele himself is not proficient in antiques, especially Chinese antiques, but Magellan, the chief appraiser of Sotheby's who came with him, is a Chinese expert, especially the level of appreciation of Chinese porcelain.

At this time, Xu Lele and Magellan and two Sotheby's staff members walked to the booth separately from the crowd, Xu Lele smiled and introduced himself to the onlookers: "Ladies and gentlemen, good evening, I am Xu Lele, CEO of Sotheby's auction house in China, I am very happy to meet you, I heard that some friends have some doubts about the authenticity of this sacrificial red porcelain, so I rushed over to answer questions for friends." Allow me to introduce to you this Mr. Magellan, the chief appraiser of our Sotheby's auction house in China. ”

Xu Lele's reputation as the CEO of Sotheby's auction house in China may not be famous, but Magellan is a big celebrity in the Chinese collecting circle, and some people even think that his appraisal level may not be lower than the two legendary giants of Beiyang and Nanzhou.

And Magellan is different, the major auction houses have the business of appraising antiques, as long as you are willing to spend money, you can ask Magellan to palm, so far there has been no rumor that Magellan looks at an object, of course, the cost of Magellan's palm is not low, according to the rules of the industry, Magellan's appraisal of antiques is two points of antique valuation, and the object valuation is lower than a certain limit, but please do not move Master Magellan's palm.

Don't underestimate these two points, which of the objects that can please touch Magellan's palm is not worth one or two million, and asking him to take a look at it is hundreds of thousands of labor fees, and this price is not affordable for anyone.

Seeing that the surroundings were quiet, Xu Lele smiled and swept over everyone and asked, "I don't know which gentleman questioned the authenticity of this bottle?" ”

Everyone's eyes looked at Tang Dou in unison.

Tang Dou smiled slightly and stood up: "It's me." ”

Xu Lele looked curiously at Tang Dou, who looked seven or eight years younger than him, and stretched out his hand to Tang Dou with a smile: "Hello, I am Xu Lele, CEO of Sotheby's China Branch, I don't know what Mr. is called?" ”

Tang Dou shook hands with Xu Lele, smiled and said, "I am Tang Dou, chairman of Jinling Ancient Culture and Art Communication Company. ”

Hearing Tang Dou's name, Magellan raised his eyebrows, and without waiting for Xu Lele's introduction, he had already stretched out his hand to Tang Dou: "It turns out that you are Mr. Tang, I have admired the name for a long time, I am Magellan, I admire Master Ling Yue Yang and Master Zhou Fushi very much, and I hope to have the opportunity to visit the two masters." ”

Looking at the little foreign old man in front of him, who was full of fluent Beijing films, Tang Dou smiled and shook Magellan's hand: "Hello, I have also admired Master Mai for a long time. Hehe, Master Mai's Chinese language is better than mine. ”

Magellan laughed.

Some of the Tibetan friends who were watching knew that the young man they had slandered just now was actually Tang Dou, the successor of Beiyang Nan, and they also closed their mouths with interest.

If Tang Dou said that this bottle is a fake, then it shouldn't be groundless, after all, Tang Dou is the personal disciple of Yang Yiyan and Zhou Fushi, and he will never talk nonsense.

It's just that this bottle doesn't look like a replica no matter how you look at it.

Although not many people have seen what the real sheep imitation looks like, but thinking that the sheep imitation should be a higher grade of high imitation, there are always traces to follow, and the bottle in front of him is without a little flaw, how can it be an imitation.

If someone says that this bottle is pulled out of the soil by a scorpion, people can believe more, but if it is said that it is a sheep's imitation, there is no evidence, and few people will believe it.

At this time, Xu Lele had already given up his position to Magellan, and he knew that it was time for Magellan to appear.

Magellan let go of Tang Dou's hand with a smile, looked at Tang Dou and asked, "Mr. Tang, are you saying that this bottle is a sheep imitation porcelain?" ”

Tang Dou smiled and nodded: "I am more than ninety percent sure that this bottle is a sheep mill." ”

Magellan smiled and said: "As far as I know, those who make zuò sheep imitations are all high-eyed people, and they will leave their unique sheep imitation logo on every imitation of their own zuò." Does Mr. Tang mean that the bottle in front of us now also has this logo? ”

Tang Dou nodded without hesitation: "If my expectations are correct, there must be such a sign hidden in some secret part of this bottle." ”

Magellan laughed, waved his hand and said to the two people who came with them: "John, Li Bing, you two open the display case, take out this bottle, and ask Mr. Tang to show us where the sheep imitation logo is hidden." ”

John and Li Bing looked at Xu Lele, Xu Lele smiled and nodded, he was still very confident in Magellan, not to mention anything else, just say that Magellan has never looked at an object for so many years, and this alone is enough to stand out from the crowd.

Hearing Magellan's confident order to open the cabinet, the onlookers couldn't help but whisper.

The reserve price of this bottle is 30 million, and it is clear that it has been approved by Master Magellan.

However, Tang Dou is the personal disciple of the two masters of Northern Yang and Southern Zhou, although he is young, it is estimated that his eyesight must be extraordinary.

Looking at the posture, today is no matter what, there is going to be someone to plant a heel, but I don't know if this person who is about to be planted is Master Mai, who has never looked away, or Tang Dou, the personal disciple of Beiyang and Nanzhou.

However, no matter who is going to be the one tonight, this is undoubtedly big news for the antique shop.

In an instant, the scene, which was full of hundreds of people, became silent, and everyone's eyes were fixed on Tang Dou and Magellan's faces. (To be continued.) )
