Chapter 26 Tied for first place?
"It's not bad at all."
"As expected of a veteran who has been involved in the martial arts for more than ten years, his vision is indeed vicious."
"It seems that Zhenbaoxuan will definitely be number one this time."
Luo Jiang listened to the noisy compliments and looked at the eyes full of admiration. His fair face turned red with excitement. He grinned and clasped his fists around him.
At this moment, he even forgot that the honor he got at this moment was entirely based on the dirty deal between Jindian and Zhenbaoxuan, and he really regarded himself as an unparalleled antique appraiser!
After hearing the result, Sun Jinyang's heart dropped to the ground. Seeing Shen Wanjun's face gradually sinking, he felt particularly happy. He rolled his eyes and said loudly: "It seems that this tea cup can be saved."
Shen Wanjun glanced at Sun Jinyang, whose tail was almost raised to the sky, and said nothing, just snorted heavily.
"Congratulations to Boss Sun."
"I wish Brother Sun a prosperous business in the coming year."
People who are familiar with Sun Jinyang expressed their congratulations. Although the results of Xue Chen's identification have not been announced yet, it seems to be less important.
Sun Jinyang laughed heartily: "You're welcome, you're welcome, I'll treat some of you to drinks tomorrow, haha."
At this time, Xue Chen, who was standing in front of the rostrum, did not expect such a result. All three antique treasures were appraised accurately: "Is it possible that Luojiang also has the same black ancient jade as mine?"
His eyes inadvertently glanced at the three antique treasures placed on the table in front of Luo Jiang. He recalled the appraisal results that had just been read out. Suddenly, his eyes flashed: "Eh..."
At this time, Chen Suyuan stood up for the third time, glanced meaningfully at the venue, and coughed lightly: "Now let's read out the appraisal results of Xue Chen of Daxing Pawn Shop."
"The first piece, a large box with five dragons and six corners from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, was identified as a fake and is completely correct. The estimated value is 3,000, which is completely correct."
"The second piece is a sword given to Zhang Taiping by Qi Jiguang, the anti-Japanese hero of the Ming Dynasty. It has been identified as authentic and completely correct. The estimated value is 1.2 million, which is completely correct."
"The third piece, a calligraphy work by Ji Xiaolan from the Qing Dynasty, is determined to be a fake, which is completely correct. The estimate is one thousand, which is correct."
Correct, correct, all correct. When I heard that the third collection was also correct, the venue that had just been quiet exploded into flames again!
"Holy crap, am I hearing hallucinations in my ears? This Xue Chen's appraisal report is actually all correct. How is this possible?"
"OH, MYGOD, I want to get to know this young man, I want to make friends with him." A young girl with brown toad glasses and blond hair who returned from studying abroad patted her bulging breasts with her bare hands, her beautiful eyes widening. Staring at Xue Chen without blinking.
"He is simply a genius, a genius like no other."
Many of the more than 200 guests at the venue were so excited that they became incoherent.
Shen Wanjun stood up abruptly, clenched his hands into fists, and laughed regardless of his appearance: "Haha, great, I knew it, I knew it, this kid won't let me down!"
Shen Zixi was also infected by the fanatical atmosphere permeating the scene, breathing heavily, her eyes flickering, and an indescribable feeling surged through her chest, making her whole body hot, her cheeks flushed, and she was overjoyed.
Sun Jinyang's ears were already buzzing from the uproar. The tea cup he just picked up accidentally fell to the tea table next to him. He sat there dumbfounded, letting the tea spill on his crotch.
The three antique treasures he took out were carefully selected by him. Each one was difficult to tell whether it was genuine or not, and its origin was mysterious. But, but... they were all identified, and they were all accurate. He could find fault with them all he wanted. Not coming out!
Sun Jinyang's hands couldn't help but tremble slightly. He originally thought that he already thought highly of Xue Chen, so he secretly formed an alliance with Jin Dian to ensure that everything was safe. But at this moment, he realized that he still underestimated this young man.
Luo Jiang was also stunned at this time. After hearing the result, his eyes almost fell to the ground. He looked at Xue Chen as if he had seen a ghost.
Even Zhou Yunfei, who had always had an expression of indifference on his face, changed his expression for the first time after hearing the results of the appraisal. He turned his head and looked at Xue Chen in surprise, looking up and down.
At this moment, Xue Chen's limelight completely overshadowed Luo Jiang and Zhou Yunfei.
After the atmosphere in the venue calmed down a little, Chen Suyuan on the podium said with a smile: "So, this time, there will be two first places in the Yongtai Street Antique Appreciation Fair."
After hearing this result, some people were happy and some were sad.
Shen Wanjun could accept it. Generally speaking, Daxing was better because Xue Chen was younger, making it easier for people to remember him.
But Sun Jinyang and Shan Yunhai couldn't accept this result.
"Damn it, what I want is first place, first place in Zhenbaoxuan, not tied for first place with Daxing!"
Sun Jinyang's teeth were itching with hatred, especially when he thought that his son, Sun Zi Mo, had also been tricked by Xue Chen and was still lying in the hospital, and he even had the desire to kill.
Shan Yunhai, the boss of Jindian, looked as black as the bottom of a pot. If Sun Jinyang's losses were invisible and intangible, then Jindian was bleeding profusely!
After drawing lots, according to his opinion, Zhenbaoxuan, who already knew the details of Jindian's three antiques, would definitely win the first place.
As for his own Jindian, Zhou Yunfei, who was hired with a high salary and experienced enough, could easily get the second place. According to the agreement, Sun Jinyang not only had to return the antique that he took from Jindian as the top priority, but also wanted to return it from the Jindian. Give him the antique that Daxing brought, and everyone will be happy!
But now?
Daxing and Zhenbaoxuan actually tied for first place, with only Jindian ranked lower. This has never happened since the appreciation club was established seven years ago.
Do you want Jin Dian to take out two antiques and give them to two families respectively? When he thought of this, Shan Yunhai's already darkened face became filled with green energy, and his chest was so tight that he almost vomited blood.
Listening to the boiling noise in the audience, Lin Xirong was also infected and excited. She did not expect that this antique appreciation meeting would be so exciting. She had already decided in her heart that after the appreciation meeting was over, she would write an article about antiques and this appreciation meeting. Special report of the meeting.
She cleared her throat and said loudly: "The three appraisers have shown their own appreciation of antiques, which is beyond ordinary people's eyesight. So, we can now announce that the first names of the 8th Yongtai Street Appreciation Fair are: treasure……"
"Sorry, please wait."
Just when Lin Xirong was about to announce the clear ranking, someone interrupted.
"Um?"
Lin Xirong and the guests present all looked at the person who made the noise. It was Xue Chen who had just caused a climax in the venue.
Lin Xirong paused for a moment, then asked: "Mr. Xue Chen, do you have any more questions?"
Xue Chen nodded, and under the gaze of hundreds of pairs of eyes, he said unhurriedly: "I have different opinions on the results of the five judges."
The guests in the audience all looked puzzled. Lin Xirong was stunned for a moment: "What's your opinion?"
"I think Mr. Luo Jiang's judgment on one of the three antiques from Jin Dian is completely wrong." Xue Chen said seriously.
As soon as the words came out, the entire venue fell silent, almost audibly. Everyone opened their mouths and stared at Xue Chen's young and sunny face in amazement. After a brief silence, the scolding suddenly started.
"This young man from Daxing has a certain level of skill, but he is too arrogant and a little complacent." The old man holding a Wenwan walnut shook his head with regret.
"That's right, the appraisal result was approved by the five evaluators. He said that Luo Jiang's appraisal was wrong. Doesn't that mean that all five evaluators made a mistake? Oh, how is this possible?"
"Does he think that his eyesight is better than that of the five judges? That's ridiculous."
Not only the guests in the audience, but also the five judges on the rostrum were all stunned for a moment. They looked at Xue Chen who was making a strong statement and looked at each other. Obviously, they did not expect this situation.
Museum director Chen Yibo coughed and asked with a faint smile: "Then which one do you think is wrong?"
Xue Chen pursed his lips, without any hesitation, stretched out his right hand and pointed at the three-color Tang Sancai bowl-painted gold pottery figure among the three antiques in Jindian Pawn Shop: "I think that one is a fake, not an authentic one."
"Oh, Xue Chen, what is your basis?" Chen Suyuan asked with great interest.
He knew Xue Chen best among the five judges. Thinking of the shock that Xue Chen gave him twice in a row not long ago, he felt that this young man might have really seen something.
"in accordance with……"
Xue Chen hesitated, because his basis was ancient jade, and he could not feel the existence of the slightest aura of the pottery figure.
Seeing Xue Chen keeping silent, Sun Jinyang in the audience was almost bursting with excitement, and said ecstatically: "There is no perfect path for man!"
He seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, stood up suddenly, glared, snorted angrily, and yelled: "Xue Chen, I asked you to tell me the basis, why can't you tell me? You can't tell me, I have
Something to say!”
"You openly questioned the judgments of the five judges without any basis. Your behavior is very bad and unreasonable, you know? It seriously affects the authority and seriousness of the appreciation meeting. If you can't tell me, I think
, your first place should also be taken away!"
Shan Yunhai also took advantage of the opportunity and echoed loudly: "You are right. This three-color pottery figure from the Tang Dynasty has been played and appreciated by countless antique collectors. No one has ever thought it is a fake. You are sensationalizing and it is not advisable. I
I agree with Boss Sun’s suggestion.”
The two men's mouths were like a barrage of cannons, bombarding Xue Chen with one sentence after another, and they were bound to pull Xue Chen off the tie for first place.
Luo Jiang understood the intention of his boss Sun Jinyang, his eyes rolled, he let out a cry of sorrow and pain, and patted his thigh with one hand.
"Five judges, he is not questioning me, but insulting me. You must give me a fair and just explanation. I absolutely do not agree to be tied for first place with such an uneducated person!" (Unfinished)
Chapter completed!
