Chapter 20: The Unexpected

In most people's eyes, the result of this game is actually obvious.

However, deep in everyone's hearts, there is a subtle uncertainty, after all, Zhao Zhuo has already created the impossible twice, God knows if he will bring another miracle in the third game?

So this game is full of attraction because of the disparity in strength between the two.

Qiu Yulin is also one of the best appraisers in Gemdale Appraisal Company, and her title is also at the manager level, from being an appraiser to the present more than ten years, she has handled thousands of jade, and she has also cultivated a superhuman psychological quality, so she naturally did not take Zhao Zhuo in her eyes.

At the beginning of the game, after opening the wooden box, Zhao Zhuo and Mo Ling looked at each other and began their respective selections.

The jade in the box is a mixture of ancient and unearthed ancient times, which is a great test of ability. After all, the appearance between the ancient and the unearthed ancient is not the same, one is pulp, the other is with Qin, and the method of doing counterfeiting is also very different.

Ancient frauds are often forged with stones similar to jade, which are extremely similar to ancient jade in terms of hardness and texture, and it is difficult to distinguish them.

For example, the Laizhou stone in Shandong, some white ones are better than jasper, and the texture is good, and the Lingyan mountain stone in Jiangsu [***] is better moisturized than the low-grade jade, and the local people often use it to make rosaries, bracelets, bracelets and even stoves and other things, which are sold all over the world, but are sold as ancient jade by those merchants.

In addition, there is also the transformation of old jade, which is also very confusing.

The so-called transformation of old jade refers to the use of broken and incomplete parts of ancient jade, and the sale of ancient jade as ancient jade after repair.

For example, a piece of old jade, because of the missing part, you can cut half as Huang, if Huang is broken, it will be changed to a choice, if you do not subdivide its shape and pattern, etc., it is easy to be deceived.

And the method of counterfeiting unearthed jade is even more complicated, almost all kinds of colors have special counterfeiting methods, and the clever techniques are almost the same as the real product.

If Zhao Zhuo had seen these before, he would have been dazzled and at a loss. However, after all, he had stored countless books on jade in his head, and with Jing Yao's dedicated guidance, he had already reached a certain level in jade appreciation in a short period of time.

Qiu Yulin's eyes were like electricity, and as soon as she swept the jade in the box, she quickly grabbed three pieces of jade, and actually identified them at the same time!

The people in the hall were secretly surprised, this hand was definitely a real kung fu. Different jade has different textures, if you want to hold it in one hand to distinguish it, it definitely takes enough experience, and a slight difference may lead to wrong judgment. Especially on such occasions, it can only show that the artist is bold.

Looking at Zhao Zhuo again, everyone was suddenly disappointed, but many people secretly breathed a sigh of relief, glad that they did not take the risk of betting on him, just because Zhao Zhuo's performance can only be described as in a hurry.

I saw Zhao Zhuo pick up a piece of jade and slowly screen it, and after confirming that it was genuine, he put it outside the box, and then picked up a piece and put it directly outside the box without identification, and then picked up the previous piece of jade outside the box and put it in the box. He kept taking it in and out, as if he wasn't sure which was real and which was fake.

Ji Yuan was also a little puzzled, his brows furrowed slightly, with his eyes, he could naturally see that Zhao Zhuo had strength, although these imitations were difficult, they would not be flustered like this.

Jing Yao and Ge Fugui didn't know what was going on, they just thought that he had met a master like Qiu Yulin, so they became nervous, made mistakes in judgment again and again, and secretly worried.

Jin Shanhe laughed so much that his tears were about to soar out, and he didn't forget to say a few words of sarcasm, and he had forgotten the scars of losing two games for a while, after all, this one was going to win, and the first two losses would be able to earn back with interest.

However, it's just that everyone doesn't know that the jade that Zhao Zhuo took out at the beginning was all identified by himself, and the one he took in was what Mo Ling thought was a fake after the second appraisal, and he put it back in the box without thinking. And what he put directly outside the box without screening was identified by Mo Ling, which seemed to be an indecisive move, but in fact the two had a very tacit division of labor and cooperation.

Qiu Yulin first selected the first wooden box, it took only 5 minutes, among which 4 pieces of jade were selected, and one of them was a large piece of green and white jade beast ear stove, with beautiful shape and excellent texture, and the price of the genuine product was at least 100,000 yuan.

Of course, each appraiser has his own judgment on the valuation of jade, and the same is true for auction houses, all of which have certain price differences, such as a certain piece of jade, some will be estimated at 80,000 yuan, but some will be estimated at 120,000 yuan, so the valuation used in the competition is based on the lowest price.

In the case of this animal ear stove, the estimate on the information book in the hands of the judges is 120,000 to 150,000, so even if the appraiser underestimates 20,000, it is more than 100,000.

Zhao Zhuo was two minutes late to finish picking, but he picked out 6 pieces of jade, and they were all small and medium-sized pieces, most of the workmanship was very average, and the price was not too expensive.

It's not that Zhao Zhuo and Mo Ling's speed is slow, but that among the 15 pieces of jade, several of them are jade artifacts from the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China.

As soon as the second box was opened, Zhao Zhuo couldn't help frowning slightly, and couldn't help but sigh that the energy of the club was really very large, after three rounds of competition, none of the jade artifacts were repeated, and now the price of jade is getting higher and higher, and it is becoming more and more complicated.

Each piece of jade in this box has a great difference in color, white, yellow, blue, green and even a piece of black jade, of course, there are also jade objects with two or three colors at the same time.

Zhao Zhuo took a deep breath and immediately calmed down, now is not the time to sigh, although Mo Ling helps, Qiu Yulin is also a strong enemy that cannot be underestimated.

Zhao Zhuo Zhuo is calm, the more rigorous his expression is, but in the eyes of everyone, it is still the scene of panic, taking it out one by one, putting it back one by one, and anyone who looks at it frowns, and also has an understanding.

After all, he is still young, he is only a junior appraiser, and his family background is very ordinary, and he has endured a total of more than 20 million bets on internal and external markets, and I am afraid that his psychological tolerance has reached the limit.

In the regret of everyone and the admiration of Qiu Yulin, time passed quickly, and as Zuo Xu just announced the end of the game, everyone also let out a long breath as if they had experienced a big battle.

Looking at the table of the two of them, there were twenty or thirty pieces of jade piled up, Zuo Xu first counted the number of jade artifacts at the beginning, but Zhao Zhuo picked out 36 pieces, and Qiu Yulin picked out 32 pieces.

Of course, everyone didn't think that Zhao Zhuo had any chance of winning because of the number, after all, the flustered behavior in the past 60 minutes had made everyone's chances of winning against him drop to zero.

Next, Zuo Xu just handed over the jade artifacts of the two to Ji Yuan and the others, and he looked through the jade data book of the third scene to judge, of course, the camera aimed at the data book also transmitted the image to each screen, so that everyone could watch the information of each jade object simultaneously.

Ke Yun is in charge of Qiu Yulin, and each piece of jade is genuine, not bad at all, and after only 20 pieces, 4 pieces of jade with more than 100,000 yuan have appeared.

Ji Yuan looked at Zhao Zhuoxuan's pile of jade, and before he opened the information, his brows were furrowed, although he couldn't say that he could judge the authenticity at a glance with his gaze for so many years, but at least he could see seven or eight points, and at this glance, it actually looked like it was genuine.

He was secretly surprised in his heart, and hurriedly opened the information and began to check, it doesn't matter if this pair is one, two, three...... After a dozen pieces in a row, each one of them is genuine!

Not only Ji Yuan was surprised, but the people in the hall who noticed this situation also had a strange face, and even felt like they couldn't figure it out.

Ge Fugui and the others were also attracted by the picture on the screen, and watched intently, as Ji Yuan turned the pages one by one, the jade was determined to be genuine, and the jade artifacts of more than 100,000 were pointed out, and the last jade was determined, and 36 pieces were all genuine, and there were 5 pieces of jade that exceeded 100,000!

The people who witnessed the whole process gasped one after another, and they couldn't come back to their senses for a while, if this conclusion is true, then there is no need to judge Qiu Yulin's 32 pieces of jade, Zhao Zhuo has already won!

This result greatly exceeded everyone's expectations, and the hall suddenly became a pot of porridge, and many people were not afraid of questioning authority.

Zhao Zhuo's panicked behavior during the appraisal is in anyone's eyes, if you can pick out a lot of genuine products just like that, then the third session of this treasure appraisal conference is too easy, right?

However, a boss with a lot of status suddenly proposed another possibility, could it be that the selection that was taken in and out just now was not because of psychological tension, but because of a second appraisal after a second appraisal?

Saying this, everyone couldn't help but gasp.

This second appraisal, understanding is the literal meaning, the appraisal of an antique, in the case of having been determined to be genuine or fake, and then by the second person or themselves, from the material, carving, texture, etc., to re-appraisal, and not at all by the previous first appraisal opinions.

If this guess is correct, then this hand is a masterpiece! To be able to re-identify the selected jade in such a tight time, how much vision, how much experience, and what a flexible mind does it take?

Compared with this unbelievable hand, Qiu Yulin's skill in identifying three pieces of jade at the same time is also much inferior.

There was a lot of discussion in the hall, in order to determine the real surname of the answer, Ke Yun began to take the jade, flipped through the information and rechecked, and everyone couldn't help but raise their heads and stare with their eyes wide open, for fear of missing any details.

However, after the 36 pieces of jade were turned over, the unbelievable expression on Ke Yun's face had already explained everything, and Wang Zhengming and the two shareholders also felt incredible, and rarely took the data book in person and did the third check.

However, the facts are the facts, and no one can not believe it, God knows what ghost identification method Zhao Zhuo used, but these 36 pieces of jade are indeed the same as the records, all of them are genuine.

Things have come to this point, and the only thing that everyone can accept is the statement of secondary identification.

Zuo Xugang also had a little dry mouth, he had been an appraiser for so many years, and it was the first time he had encountered such a strange situation, after getting Wang Zhengming's jaw signal, he slapped his mouth a few times before finally saying the words: "The winner - Zhao Zhuo!" ”
