Chapter 8: The First Beginning (Part I)

"Two appraisers will verify the authenticity of ten pieces of jade at the same time. When I take out a piece of jade, the two appraisers need to distinguish its authenticity in the shortest possible time, and shout 'genuine' or 'fake', and the first person who shouts has the right to answer first, if it is genuine, it needs to be determined, and the fake needs to be explained. If you answer correctly, you will receive 1 point, which will go directly to the second jade appraisal, and if you answer incorrectly, 1 point will be deducted. After the ten pieces of jade are appraised, whichever appraiser has the highest score wins. ”

As soon as the rules of the first game were finished, Zhao Zhuo sighed lightly, this treasure appraisal conference was really extraordinary, but it was only the first game, and it was already quite difficult, and the competition of junior appraisers was nothing compared to this.

If it is only to identify the authenticity of jade, the difficulty is limited even within the limited time, but the form of rushing to answer is added to this rule, and if you only consider the priority of answering and rushing, but do not fully identify the authenticity, then you may lose points. But if you wait for yourself to identify the authenticity, the opportunity may have fallen into the hands of the other party, no matter how you look at it, it is a dilemma, and it tests the psychological quality of the contestants, not to mention, everyone is still burdened with a million entry fees.

Moreover, the authenticity needs to be explained, which tests the appraiser's vision and practical experience, and once it is messed up, I am afraid it will end in failure.

You know, the rules of the club are different every year, and they will be adjusted according to the number of participants in each session, so before the competition, no one knows what the rules will be, but obviously such rules also meet the difficult standards of the conference.

At this time, the betting on the outer plate has also been completed, and both of them are amateur third-level appraisers, so the difference in the betting amount is not very large, Yu Wen's external betting is slightly higher, reaching 3.5 million, and Zhan Dahu's external betting is 3 million.

At this time, the ten wooden boxes were also moved to the front of the stage by the staff, and Yu Wen and the two came on the stage one after another, taking the magnifying glasses handed by the staff.

After everything was ready, Zuo Xu just put one of the boxes on the table on the platform, and opened the box at the same time as announcing the start.

Under the light, the box contains a white jade Buddha statue, the Buddha statue is very exquisitely carved, the lines are natural and smooth, quite a bit ancient, and the color is pure white, at a glance, it seems to be Hetian jade.

Through the LCD screen, everyone in the hall can clearly see the all-round display of the Buddha statue, Zhao Zhuo also squinted his eyes and seriously distinguished, only Mo Ling was not bound by anything, with a body that no one could see, he stood in front of the table and watched.

Yu Wen and Zhan Dahu didn't dare to slack off at all, they invariably picked up a magnifying glass and looked around the Buddha statue, and at the same time reached out and touched the Buddha statue, feeling the texture.

Zuo Xugang looked at the two of them very calmly, and he couldn't tell any judgment of the Jade Buddha from his face at all.

In less than a minute, I heard Yu Wen say loudly: "Fake! ”

In fact, Zhan Dahu just wanted to speak, but he was a step slower to say this, and he suddenly felt remorseful.

Zuo Xugang said loudly: "If it is a fake, please explain the reason." ”

Yu Wen pointed to this Buddha statue and said: "This Buddha statue looks like Hetian jade, but in fact it is Qinghai jade, although the color between the two is close, but there is a big difference." Qinghai jade has many transparent tendons, and it shows stripes under the magnifying glass, while Hetian jade is snowflake-shaped. Qinghai jade has only been applied in the market in the past 20 years, so this white jade Buddha statue is also a product of 20 years, which is naturally not an antiquity, but an antique fake. ”

Seeing that Yu Wen was right, Ji Yuan and the others bowed slightly, obviously agreeing. In fact, all the jade used in the competition is recorded, so Ji Yuan and others, as judges, naturally know the authenticity of all the jade.

Hearing Yu Wen's answer, Zhan Dahu couldn't help but sigh regretfully, just a little bit, he was robbed of the opportunity by the opponent, Zuo Xu just glanced at the judges' seat, and after getting a positive answer, he said loudly: "No. 1 Yu Wen got 1 point, and the second jade competition will be held below." ”

With the jade pieces brought up, Yu Wen obviously has the upper hand, although in the eyes of everyone, he relied on his family strength to become a member of the Baicheng Association, but now the strength he shows is very good, although Zhan Dahu is not bad, but unfortunately he often shouts one step later than Yu Wen, resulting in a score gap getting bigger and bigger.

Seeing Yu Wen's points getting higher and higher, naturally some people are happy and heartache, after all, Zhan Dahu has invested 3 million, although everyone bets in the first game by testing the waters, and the money is not much, but there are also those who are bold and invest four or five hundred thousand at once.
