Chapter 13: Making a Small Profit
It's just a big deal to get tens of thousands of yuan, but no one expected that Xiao Wei would be the first to come up with 100 million, which stimulated everyone at once.
Everyone knows that on this occasion, if you really lose, no matter which side you grit your teeth in the end, you will definitely lose money. Needless to say, the Ma family is one of the top richest people in Zhouhai City.
Although Shi Shuqing's reputation outside is not very loud, he is definitely a big man in the antique circle, and he is one of the partners of Tianyi Pavilion, and his net worth is more than several hundred million.
In this case, then simply play a vote, many people bet at least one million or more, and some even bet five million and ten million.
It's really lively now, in a short period of time, the bets on both sides exceeded 500 million, of which Xiao Wei bet that Lu Feiming won 100 million, and Ma Mingyuan was not far behind, and he added 100 million to his side.
After no one started betting, Qian Haichao walked out, and then everyone present publicly recommended several well-known appraisers in the circle as referees.
Shi Shuqing did not become a referee because of Lu Feiming's relationship. However, there are also many of his friends among these referees. So on the whole, there should be no fraud, and besides, this is also a temporary decision, and it is impossible for anyone to collude in advance.
After everything was over, it was finally time for the real battle. Lu Feiming's side must have gone into battle himself, while Ma Mingyuan's side sent a man about forty years old.
Many people present knew him, he was a researcher at the Zhouhai City Museum, and he was also a special expert of the Ma family in collecting. This person doesn't have a good reputation, but those who know the inside story know that this man named Wu Jing is still very capable.
Seeing that it was Wu Jing who made the other party's move, Shi Shuqing couldn't help frowning. As a distinguished expert of Zhouhai City Museum, he still knows a little about Wu Jing.
This person is not very old, but his research and appraisal skills are very profound, and he still has a teacher-student relationship with several appraisals who are far away in Beijing.
Shi Shuqing whispered a few words to Lu Feiming, and he was also a little apprehensive in his heart, he didn't know what the final outcome would be, it seemed that he had hurt people today, especially Feng Daoyuan, this guy is definitely a bad seed.
And Ma Mingyuan and these guys don't have a good person, they are really going to lose, and it is estimated that they will lose all the money they have accumulated over the years, but so what, after all, Lu Feiming is a disciple he received.
Who knew that he wanted to bring him to increase his knowledge, but he caused such a trouble. In the end, he can only wipe his ass as a master.
As the organizer of this appraisal conference, the original plan was temporarily changed because of the sudden gamble. Fortunately, I was prepared beforehand.
Therefore, it was also handled smoothly, and some antiques that I had not been able to understand were taken out, and these were originally intended to take advantage of this treasure appreciation conference to let those experts help them.
But now it's okay, it has directly become a prop for Lu Feiming and Ma Mingyuan to bet on, and they can also get free appraisal, which is also a small profit.
Originally, the dining table in the center of the hall was cleaned up, and there were ten brocade boxes in a row, each of which was covered with a red cloth, and no one could see what it contained.
Lu Feiming and Wu Jing stood on both sides of the long table, and Qian Haichao, as the host, raised his hand to uncover the red cloth on the first brocade box, and then slowly opened the brocade box, revealing the utensils inside.
This is a piece of porcelain, pastel Wufu holding a longevity pattern porcelain bowl. According to the order of the previous draw, Wu Jing took the lead in the identification, and only after he finished reading it could it be Lu Feiming's turn.
In fact, it doesn't matter if Lu Feiming doesn't get started or not, because his superpowers can see the authenticity at first glance, there is a faint white light on this porcelain, but the white light is very shallow and not so dazzling.
Therefore, Lu Feiming judged in his heart that this was a fake. However, he had to wait until Wu Jing had completed the appraisal and then carefully observed it after he personally got started.
About ten minutes later, Wu Jing finished the appraisal and retreated to his previous position, and then it was Lu Feiming's turn, he stepped forward to take a closer look, and soon had a certain number in his heart.
Next, the selected judges began to appraise, until all was over, Lu Feiming and Wu Jing respectively wrote their appraisal results on paper and handed them to the host Qian Haichao.
Qian Haichao opened it and looked at it, and then announced the appraisal results to everyone present. The appraisal opinions of Lu Feiming and Wu Jing all believe that this pastel Wufu Shou bowl with the base of the 'Yongzheng Year of the Great Qing Dynasty' is a fake from the Republic of China.
The same conclusion was also given by the referee, and the first game was a tie.
While everyone present was surprised, Lu Feiming and Wu Jing also looked up to their opponents, it seems that the other party does have some skills, and they must deal with it carefully.
Immediately afterwards, Qian Haichao opened the second brocade box, which was still a porcelain, a blue and white peony entwined gourd bottle with a pattern of 'Jiajing Year of the Ming Dynasty'.
As soon as the artifact appeared, Lu Feiming frowned slightly. What he didn't expect was that the two things that the organizer took out in a row were actually fakes.
This thing is exactly the same as the previous pastel porcelain bowl, and the white light in Lu Feiming's eyes is very faint, and it is obvious that they are all counterfeit utensils later.
This time, it was Lu Feiming's turn to take the lead in identification, and after a brief observation after getting started, he put the gourd bottle back into the distance. Wu Jing was very cautious, and looked at it repeatedly for more than ten minutes before retreating.
This time, both sides came to the same conclusion, believing that it was a fake made during the Republic of China. The second game was still a draw. But there are also people who see the doorway.
That is, Lu Feiming spent much less time on identification than Wu Jing. This can be explained by Lu Feiming's ability, but perhaps it may also be more prone to mistakes, after all, Lu Feiming's age is there.
At such a young age, it is impossible to see too many rare antiques, and the experience is even less, and some people even think that Lu Feiming is likely to be blind.
Shi Shuqing, who was still a little nervous, finally showed a smile, it seems that Lu Feiming did not let himself down.
And Xiao Wei is the same, don't look at her daring to bet 100 million on Lu Feiming, in fact, it was all caused by being angry at the time, and then she calmed down and thought about it, but she still regretted it a little, and felt that she was a little impulsive.
However, at present, Lu Feiming can draw with Wu Jing in two consecutive games, which also shows that Lu Feiming is still very capable.
Maybe Lu Feiming really has a chance to win in the end, in that case, he can not only win a bet of 100 million, but also humiliate Ma Mingyuan.
On the contrary, Ma Mingyuan's faces were a little ugly.
