Chapter VII Number Selection
Walking in the front is an old man in his fifties, the old man is wearing a black high-end suit, his round face is a little bald, but the bridge of the nose is high, the facial features are angular, and you can vaguely see the handsome appearance of his youth.
This person is Wang Zhengming, the owner of the Zhongtian Club, this person's identity is mysterious, he is one of the invisible riches in Huaihai City, no one knows whether he has a big industry, but just the establishment of the Zhongtian Club, it can be seen that this person has an extraordinary vision, in addition to having great influence in the business world, it is said that he is also very connected in the officialdom, otherwise how can he gamble in this club?
The two old men who were about the same age behind him were both shareholders of the club, and they were both giants in Huaihai City, and their status was not trivial.
After the three of them, there were two old men, one of them was a sixty-year-old man wearing a Tang costume, Zhao Zhuo was secretly surprised when he saw it, isn't this Ji Yuan, the director of Ji?
Only then did he suddenly understand that Ji Yuan said that there were three important things to do in Huaihai City, one was to watch the painting skills, the second was to see the Han Dynasty set of money, and the third was to participate in this treasure appreciation conference.
Ji Yuan walked slowly, his eyes fell on the contestants, and he soon found Zhao Zhuo, bowed his head slightly, and said hello.
Zhao Zhuo also nodded hurriedly, and then looked behind, but saw that there was a man in his forties behind the five people, he was very dignified, wearing a straight tuxedo, a white shirt and a bow tie, looking very polite.
The man seemed to deliberately keep a distance from the four people in front of him, looking like he was a junior, and he was very measured.
Everyone came to the vacated position on the right side of the platform, Wang Zhengming smiled at everyone and said: "Thank you for coming to this year's treasure appreciation competition, let me introduce you to the judges of this conference, respectively, Ji Yuanji, director of Baicheng Museum, and Ke Yunke, general manager of Guangshi Jubao Auction House." ”
Everyone listened to a lot of discussions, and naturally they all knew the status of these two people in the industry.
Needless to say, Ji Yuan is not only the identity of the curator, but also a well-known scholar in the industry, who has written a lot of books and is an influential figure in the country.
As for Jubao Auction House, Zhao Zhuo has naturally heard of its name. As the capital of Guangzhou Province, there are many auction houses, in order to get the auction rights of collectors' collections, it is a strange trick, it is a place of dragon competition, but Jubao Auction House can rank among the top three in the industry, which shows its weight, which is definitely not comparable to the auction houses in Huaihai City.
After Wang Zhengming sat down, the middle-aged man came to the stage, bowed slightly to the surrounding people, and said with a smile: "I, Zuo Xugang, am an appraiser of Guangshi Jubao Auction House, and I was invited to host this conference. ”
As soon as these words fell, everyone couldn't help but nod, to be able to become an appraiser in the treasure auction house, it was natural to have a few brushes.
Although Zuo Xugang did not explain his appraiser level, whether it is level two or first, but with the fame of Jubao Auction House and this elegant and atmospheric attitude, he has won the respect of everyone, and he is from Guangshi and has nothing to do with the appraiser in Huaihai City, which naturally makes the competition look more fair.
When the hall was quiet again, Zuo Xu just signaled the staff to bring up a big red cardboard box, and then said: "From now on, every time I read the name of an appraiser, I will ask him to come up and draw the number in the cardboard box." ”
After that, Zuo Xu just began to read the name, and as the appraiser walked up to the stage, information about this person began to appear on more than a dozen LCD screens in the hall.
is different from the previous rolling broadcast, this time the information is more detailed, and there are some notes, mostly some of this person's brilliant experiences, such as graduation schools, such as work experience, etc., very detailed, especially professional appraisers, almost all of them are studying in prestigious universities, and many of them have also gone abroad for further study.
Every time someone goes up, the people in the hall will gather together in twos and threes to whisper a discussion, and at the same time, there will be more or less applause, and the voice of the professional appraiser is naturally higher.
When Su Yunhan's name was read, the hall immediately became a sensation.
Not only the guests in the hall showed an enthusiastic attitude towards this, but also the colleagues of the fire eye identification company in the competition area were also clapping.
Zhao Zhuo naturally knows very well that this Su Yunhan is one of the favorites to win the championship this time, as early as ten years ago, he has served the members of the Zhongtian Club, and in the past ten years, the fame he has accumulated is not trivial.
And according to the details on the screen, this person is not the first time to participate in the treasure appreciation conference.
Five years ago, Su Yunhan also participated in the appraisal conference, but at that time he met a very strong opponent, so he only won the second place in the final.
Although the club does not stipulate that those who have passed the top few will not be able to participate in the appraisal conference in the second year, but because the theme of the appraisal conference is different every year, and everyone is also good at it, Su Yunhan will naturally not be stupid enough to compare his weaknesses with others What porcelain bronze treasure appraisal will be, so after five years, he made a comeback, in order to naturally get the first place.
As soon as Su Yunhan went, Zuo Xu just read Qiu Yulin's name, Qiu Yulin was one of the only few female players, in her thirties, slightly chubby, with a flowing sea, and she walked a little vigorously.
One of the two went on stage, the other went down, and when they staggered by, their eyes staggered, although no one spoke, but there was a feeling of sabre-rattling.
According to the detailed information, Qiu Yulin also participated in the treasure appreciation conference, and it was with Su Yunhan five years ago, and he won the third place.
The discussion in the hall became louder, obviously speculating that these two would meet again in five years, and they didn't know which one would be stronger or weaker? Naturally, the two of them have become the most high-profile objects among all appraisers.
After passing through a few people, Murong Xun also came on the field, and his voice was also very high, although his jade appraisal qualification was only level three, but he had another level two and level three appraisal qualifications, plus he came from Guangshi, so he naturally attracted much attention.
Soon after, it was Zhao Zhuo's turn to play, and as soon as Zhao Zhuo moved, the discussion in the audience became louder, after all, it was not the first time that Zhao Zhuo caused a sensation, and many people still remember the last land bet, and Zhao Zhuo, who was not optimistic about anyone, showed his hand beautifully, which made Jin Shanhe suffer a dumb loss.
As a result, it didn't take long for Zhao Zhuo to make a bet with Jin Shanhe, and this content was actually related to Jing Yao.
In the small Huaihai City, people in the industry naturally know Jing Yao's name, although she is very jealous of her family, but with the appearance of the country's natural fragrance, coupled with the qualification of a first-class appraiser at such a young age, it can be said that it is like thunder.
This bet sounds very simple, it is a duel between Zhao Zhuo and Murong Xun.
In fact, according to the rules of the game, it is a lottery match, that is, the opponents are unknown, so Murong Xun and Zhao Zhuo may not meet in the first game.
However, if Zhao Zhuo lost the game in the first game, and Murong Xun successfully entered the second game, then the victory or defeat between the two would naturally be clear.
Although Zhao Zhuo showed his hand at that time, but this appraisal and repainting are completely different things, everyone present knows that the gap between a junior appraiser and a third-level appraiser, most people think that Qin Xin has too much trust in this young man, and this million is completely wasted.
However, when Zhao Zhuo drew lots, there was fierce applause in the corner of the hall, and everyone looked at it, and it turned out that it was the members of the appraiser branch on the first floor who applauded, Tian Jiang shot the loudest, and Ma Yun was among them, still with a cold face, looking not optimistic about Zhao Zhuo.
And Ge Fugui and others from Duke Auction House on the second floor are also applauding, and in addition to this, there are naturally people from the museum.
Zhao Zhuo smiled gratefully at everyone, and then looked at the number drawn in his hand: No. 13, which seems to be a number that is not very auspicious.
Soon after returning to his seat, all 36 players who participated in the competition got the numbers, Zuo Xu Gang said: "There are a total of 36 players this time, and a total of four games will be played, each game will have different competition rules, please be sure to listen carefully." The first match will be a one-on-one contest, with any two numbers selected by the computer to be opposed. ”
As soon as the voice fell, I saw the numbers on the big screen behind the platform scrolling rapidly, forming a pair of numbers.
Zhao Zhuo saw that he should be No. 31 Hu Xiaoming, Hu Xiaoming immediately laughed when he saw it, and several colleagues next to him said that he was lucky, and he met the weakest one as soon as he came, and he could easily enter the second game.
And seeing that Zhao Zhuo's opponent was Hu Xiaoming, Qin Xin and the others couldn't help but sweat, what opponent was not good, he was actually a professional appraiser when he came up, and the number 13 was really unlucky.
At this time, someone in the venue had already begun to greet the waiters, and the waiters shuttled around the venue, nodding and listening to each other, and then picked up the card handed by the other party and swiped it on the machine.
Of course, not everyone in the hall likes to gamble, but those who don't gamble are also interested in watching the excitement, after all, the money is not their own, but they can follow the thrilling feeling, which is also quite interesting.
Moreover, the bet only stipulates the upper limit, and the lower limit is not there, that is, even if you bet hundreds of dollars, you can do it.
According to the rules of the conference, as long as the appraiser who wants to bet has not started the game, then he can bet at any time, so many people are not in a hurry to bet, because the first game is No. 1 Yu Wen and No. 17 Zhan Dahu.
When the numbers on the screen completely stopped scrolling and the 18 pairs of numbers were determined, Zuo Xugang said aloud; "The rules for the first game are announced below......"
