Chapter 9: Uncovering
"The surname is Lin, do you dare to test the appraisal skills with the treasure connoisseur I invited."
Wang Shangju glared at Lin Cheng and said.
Since his father protected Wang Ruyan, he hit Lin Cheng hard to cut Wang Ruyan's face.
"Of course I dare."
"Good! If you lose, you will be in the Jingcheng Daily, admitting that you are a liar and will not set foot in the antique circle from now on. ”
This bet can be said to be very vicious.
If you really lose, your reputation will be ruined.
In any circle, reputation is a very important thing.
People with a bad reputation definitely can't get along in the circle.
"Yes, but what if I win?"
Lin Chenglang asked.
Wang Shangju was stunned for a moment, he didn't think he would lose at all.
But since I've been asked, I have to say two things.
"Can you win? Joke, if you really win, I'll give you a million. ”
Lin Cheng laughed disdainfully twice, not taking one million in his eyes.
"Hehe, a million, do you think it can compare to my reputation? Betting is about equal stakes. ”
"Since you want to bet on my reputation, then bet your own reputation, and if I win, you will publish it in the Jingcheng Daily and apologize to me earnestly."
“!!!”
Everyone in the Wang family was shocked.
For the first time, I saw the master who dared to make the Wang family apologize.
This is the territory of the Wang family, and even Jingcheng is the territory of the Wang family.
Dare to be so unkind to the Wang family in the Wang family's territory, Lin Cheng is the first in the world.
A strange light flashed in Wang Anshun's eyes.
Originally, he didn't have much feelings for Lin Cheng, but suddenly became interested in Lin Cheng.
If you dare to say such a thing, you are either the No. 1 reckless man with no brains, or you are a master with real ability.
Looking at his understanding of his daughter, he knows that his daughter will not be with a reckless man.
From this point of view, Lin Cheng is a person with some ability.
I just don't know the ability to appreciate treasures, and I can't compare to the people my son found.
"Good!"
Wang Shangju took the case.
"I promise you a bet, and if you lose, I will apologize to you!"
"Well, I'll testify to you."
Wang Anshun said with a smile.
Everyone in the Wang family was in their hearts, and their father came forward to witness the gambling contract, which was an extraordinary thing.
Maybe the battle between Wang Shangju and Wang Ruyan will be decided in this competition.
Wang Shang raised his head and said, "Father, I'll go to Master Qingzhang." ”
"Go ahead."
When Wang Shangju went to invite someone, everyone in the Wang family started talking about it.
"The treasure master invited by the eldest brother this time is not ordinary, he is a researcher of the National Museum, and he has been an expert in the authoritative treasure appreciation column, which can often be seen on TV."
"Master Zhang Qingping has not only appeared on TV, but also invited him to participate in the appraisal of the lots in large-scale auctions such as Sotheby's and Christie's."
"Moreover, Master Zhang's research level is very high, he has published many papers, and he has a high reputation in the academic community."
"I heard that Master Zhang is going to go soon, and the National Museum Cultural Relics Research Institute will be the head, and he will be the one who can make the treasure industry shake three times by stomping his feet in the future."
Every time everyone in the Wang family said a word, Wang Ruyan's face became ugly.
She thought about many experts that Wang Shangju could invite, but she never thought that Wang Shangju could invite this great god.
That is Zhang Qingping, the overlord in the Jingcheng treasure appreciation circle, and he is a famous expert in the national treasure appreciation circle.
It belongs to the king who has real materials and academic status.
"Suffered, I didn't expect my brother to ask Zhang Qingping to come out, and when you appraise the competition, you have to be cautious."
"Zhang Qingping?"
Lin Cheng squinted his eyes slightly and thought for a moment.
The name is vaguely impressive, but not familiar.
It doesn't seem to be a particularly top-notch expert forensic.
The top ones, Lin Chengke is very familiar with them.
"I haven't heard much about it, so it's not a good idea."
"Oh? Haven't you heard my Zhang Qingping's name? ”
Speak of the devil.
As soon as Lin Cheng's words fell, Zhang Qingping walked in through the door behind him.
I just heard the conversation between him and Wang Ruyan clearly.
Seeing a hairy boy who said that he had never heard of his name, and said that he was not enough evidence, Zhang Qingping was very unhappy.
But he is a man with a deep city.
Even if you are unhappy in your heart, you can't see it on your face.
Even when facing Lin Cheng, he showed a gentle smile.
"Humph! He is an ignorant child, and he is not worthy of lifting shoes for Master Zhang. ”
Wang Shangju said disdainfully.
"This is a bad statement, they all say that the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, this little friend dares to speak like this, he must have some ability."
"I don't know who you are learning from, Xiaoyou? I can't tell you that I know your master. ”
Zhang Qingping put on a posture of relying on the old and selling the old.
He paid for his old age and seniority.
As long as you ask Lin Cheng's teacher, you can easily teach him a lesson as an elder.
Lin Cheng smiled and shook his head.
"I'm self-taught, I don't have a teacher."
"Hahaha, I'm going to have pleats when I'm laughing, and I'm still self-taught to identify antiques? I've heard of it. ”
Wang Shangju burst into tears of laughter.
felt that Lin Cheng finally showed his fox tail.
A self-taught expert is a liar.
Zhang Qing's face straightened.
"Self-taught is not modest, young people nowadays, it is really unorthodox, I advise you to admit defeat quickly, don't waste everyone's time."
"Throw in the towel? I don't have these two words in my dictionary, so let's try it out quickly, I'm in a hurry. ”
"You!"
Zhang Qingping's eyes widened.
No matter how deep the city government is, it can't suppress its anger.
"Since you compare, then I will convince you to lose, Wang Shao let people prepare."
Bang bang bang.
Wang Shangju clapped his hands three times.
A team of black suits rushed in, all of them carrying trays of various antiquities of all sizes on the trays.
From bronzes, porcelain to calligraphy and painting, jade carvings, and all kinds of miscellaneous, it can be said to cover most categories in antiques.
These objects are arranged in two rows on a long table.
There are the same number of utensils in both columns, which are obviously only used for Lin Cheng and Zhang Qingping to compete.
"There are two columns of items on each table, and the two of them can choose one column at will as the subject of their own identification."
"Seniors first."
Lin Chengqian gave way.
Zhang Qingping was also not polite, and walked directly to a column of items on the left.
The column on the right naturally became the subject of Lin Cheng's identification.
"Now I'm announcing the rules."
"There are forty-five items in front of each person, and whoever identifies the most correct numbers of authenticity and falsehood will be the winner, and if the correct number is identified, the one who takes the least time wins."
"There will be someone behind you who will be responsible for the record, and when the results are identified, say them out loud, and they will record them."
"Do you have any objections to the rules? Objections can now be raised, and the rules will not be changed after the start. ”
Lin Cheng and Zhang Qingping glanced at each other, and both shook their heads at the same time, indicating that it was meaningless to the rules.
Wang Shang raised the corner of his mouth to hook up a smile that had succeeded in his plan, and then raised his right hand high and waved it down.
"Competition, start now!"
