Chapter 15: The Second Beginning

Zhao Zhuo's two opponents, one is Xu Tao, the third-level appraiser of Huoyan Appraisal Company, and the other is Chen Kelin, the second-level appraiser of Gemdale Appraisal Company.

Xu Tao is only 27 or 8 years old, because his face is relatively long, so his facial features look relatively small, although the appearance is not very photogenic, but he has considerable strength. In his first bout yesterday, he came out of his amateur opponent with ease, making him look experienced.

Xu Kelin, who is in his 40s, looks a lot older, looks like he is not smiling, and always has a straight face, the more this happens, the more people feel a sense of oppression.

Although Qin Xin and the others all speculated that they would definitely encounter a second-level appraiser in this second event, they did not expect to encounter such a tricky two opponents.

Seeing the expressions of Qin Xin and the others, Jin Shanhe smiled even more cheerfully, his fingers knocked on the chair handle rhythmically, and said leisurely: "Yes, yes, think about it carefully, it's 400,000 anyway." ”

Ge Fugui snorted lightly when he heard this, but he didn't show his anger on his face, he just snorted and said: "Although I, Ge, am not as rich as Boss Jin, I also know the truth that my daughter will come back after being scattered, not to mention that the 400,000 yuan is still won in the first game, so why not gamble again?" ”

Qin Xin didn't want to be overwhelmed by Jin Shanhe's momentum, and said lightly: "Vice President Ge is right, I, Qin Xin, have already let go, and naturally I won't back down." ”

Xiao Wanqiang said with a smile on the side: "Mr. Qin said so, then I'm embarrassed not to vote." ”

Jin Shanhe saw that the three of them knew that they were going to lose and still voted, so he mocked: "The three of them are really bold, Mr. He, which one are you going to vote for?" ”

He Wenchen smiled slightly; "Does that need to be said? I have a lot of confidence in Lao Chen. ”

Jin Shanhe said: "Then I will follow Mr. He to bet this time." After speaking, he said with a regretful gesture, "It's a pity, I originally wanted to watch this kid lose in the hands of Murong, but I really missed a good show." ”

Jing Yao watched from the side, although she was silent, she couldn't help but sweat for Zhao Zhuo.

At this time, there was also a lot of discussion on the first floor of the hall, because Zhao Zhuo was too strong in the face of two opponents, so many people gave up on him and switched to others.

According to the order of numbers, Zhao Zhuo's group is ranked sixth and last, and the popular candidates in the top five groups are also particularly eye-catching.

Su Yunhan's group ranked third, as the number one appraiser of the Fire Eye Appraisal Company, he was besieged by two strong enemies against the very powerful second-level appraisers and third-level appraisers of Gemdale Company.

Qiu Yulin's group was ranked first, and her opponent seemed much easier, and it was actually a non-professional second- and third-level appraiser.

One is Su Yunhan, who was besieged, and the other is Qiu Yulin, whose opponent is easy, and the odds of the two are the same in the second game, so many people have bet on Qiu Yulin for the sake of insurance, which also makes Qiu Yulin's momentum increase.

As for Murong Xun, he also attracted a lot of attention, this professional appraiser from Guangshi naturally also has a deep background, and he also showed a very high level in the first round, and he has also won the favor of many businessmen, but his opponent is not simple, he is a second-level appraiser and a non-professional third-level appraiser of the fire eye appraisal company.

The noisy scene gradually quieted down, and at this time, Zuo Xu began to announce the rules of the game just now, only to hear him say aloud: "The format of the second game is a three-person battle, and the time is 40 minutes. ”

While speaking, the staff next to him began to carry four large wooden boxes under the table, and Zuo Xugang pointed to the wooden boxes and said, "Among these four boxes, there are 15 pieces of jade in each." When the first box is opened, the three contestants have 10 minutes to choose the one they think will cost the most money. At the end of the competition, the player with the highest sum of the four jade pieces won the winner! ”

As soon as these words fell, everyone in the audience gasped, and many appraisers also frowned.

Yu Wen smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect the game to be so perverted, even the price was calculated, which is much more difficult than the first game." ”

Zhao Zhuo nodded, knowing that Yu Wen's opponent was not simple, including a second-level professional appraiser, but he was right, this treasure appraisal conference was really tricky and weird, and it was full of problems.

Compared to the light ratio experience and speed of the first game, the second game has increased the measurement of price, and besides, 15 pieces of jade have to be measured in 10 minutes, which is a considerable test of both speed and eyesight.

Just thinking about it, I heard Zuo Xugang continue: "At the same time, in order to ensure the fairness of the competition, only one jade can be taken at a time for identification in the hand, and the jade that needs to be identified cannot stay in the hand for more than one minute, and if it exceeds one minute, it will be selected by default." ”

As soon as these words were said, some people's good ideas were destroyed, in fact, as soon as this competition system came out, some people had already thought that as long as they made a move, they would get the jade that was more intuitive and more valuable, and then observe the others, there would be an insurance.

However, the rule of no more than a minute in hand fills the hole completely.

The first group of three people on the field was completely one-sided, and Qiu Yulin's betting amount actually reached 20 million, which is no wonder, after all, there is a big gap between the two non-professional appraisers and her.

However, Su Yunhan's fame for so many years has not been in vain, and he has also accumulated 15 million bets.

As soon as she came to the stage, Qiu Yulin looked calm and relaxed, as the opponent's second-level appraiser was quite calm, the younger third-level appraiser was a little uncontrollable, and before the game started, the sweat on his forehead came out.

After the betting was completed, Zuo Xugang signaled the staff to lift the wooden box to the table, and opened the box when the game was announced.

As soon as the lid of the box was opened, the four sides of the wooden box also fell down, and the contents of the box were clear at a glance, and the image was immediately transmitted to the surrounding LCD screens.

Zhao Zhuoding looked at it, and suddenly felt dazzled, 15 pieces of jade almost looked real at first glance, and there are many types, there are jade pots, jade seals, jade carvings, jade pendants, jade bracelets and jade jewelry, all kinds of colors white, yellow, green, red, green, in addition to a variety of colors, even the shape is also very exquisite, almost confusing the eyeballs.

There are many factors involved in measuring the price of a piece of jade.

Generally speaking, the older the age, the more significant the experience, such as the carving of the famous palace masters, the imperial palace objects, or the recorded in the bibliographies, the more expensive the price. In terms of shape, pots, Buddha statues, and large vessels are precious, birds and beasts are secondary, and the things of the water tribe are secondary, but it is extremely inaccurate to rely on the shape and age alone, and there are many other relationships, and even a little factor can make the price of jade change greatly.

In this game, in addition to having enough experience to analyze the price, of course, the most basic thing is to judge the jade. If the authenticity is not clear, and a fake is taken, then its price is lower than that of the cheapest real jade.

On the seat of the branch of the appraisal association, Ma Yun and others were even more dumbfounded, compared with such a competition, the appraisal in his usual life is simply the same thing as pediatrics.

Although many people look down on Zhao Zhuo's airborne landing, if you put yourself on it, I'm afraid you won't even be able to pass the first game.

As soon as the jade in the wooden box appeared, the eyes of the three appraisers quickly swept over it, Qiu Yulin's speed was extremely fast, and as soon as he reached out, he got the jade pot, rubbed it with his fingers for a while, and then put it down again, and then picked up a piece of jade carving and looked at it.

The second-level appraiser in the same group is obviously not a lame product, and what he caught is a large jade seal, after all, if this seal is from a famous artist, the price will naturally be expensive.

The third-level appraiser scratched his head vigorously, looked left and right, hesitated for a while, and finally reached out towards a jade pendant, but halfway through it, he grabbed a piece of jade jewelry instead.

The three of them picked it up one by one and looked at it, even if it was seen by others, they had to pick it up and weigh it themselves.

Time passed minute by minute, these dozen pieces of jade seemed to be real and fake, and it was difficult to distinguish between them without careful judgment, and the three of them not only looked at them with a magnifying glass, but also sniffed them from time to time, and even licked them with their tongues.

For unearthed jade, smelling is a very common way to identify jade, according to the late Qing Dynasty Liu Datong's "Ancient Jade Identification" said, jade buried in the soil, if the corpse water is wet, that is, with a smell; Alkaline water, that is, fishy; Those who are soiled are mostly rusty; copper, copper smell; If you smell a pungent chemical odor, it is a fake.

In addition, licking jade, listening to sounds, soaking jade in hot water, and soaking jade in cold water are also methods of jade appreciation, but because of the rule that only one piece of jade can be taken at a time for identification, it is impossible to judge which piece is real jade by the impact of two pieces of jade, and blister jade, it usually takes a day or two, so there is no way to use it here.

The limitation of time and rules tests the appraiser's adaptability to choose the most effective identification method within the limited rules.

The hall was very quiet, even the sound of a needle falling on the ground could be heard, and everyone held their breath and watched it with great taste, although it was not as passionate as the battlefield battle, but this battle of wits and strength was not inferior to the battle of life and death.

Although many people wanted to ask, in order not to affect the judgment of the appraisers, they held back their doubts and held a mouthful of doubts in their hearts.

Finally, Qiu Yulin didn't move anymore after picking up a pure white jade beast pendant, and after a while, the other two also picked up the jade that they thought was more expensive.

Box by box of jade was appraised, and at the end of the first game, Ji Yuan announced the price of the jade picked out by the three of them, and in the end, Qiu Yulin had the highest price and won easily.

Although the second-level appraisers in the same group identified genuine products, they were inferior in price, and the third-level appraiser even caught a fake, which was far inferior in price.
