Chen Ran was forced to put it on the shelf by Wang Zhiqing, so he could only sit there temporarily. At this moment, apart from him and Wang Zhiqing, the experts sitting at the counter for appraisal also had an old man in his fifties.
He nodded to Chen Ran, said hello, and got busy.
After Wang Zhiqing introduced Chen Ran, he also sat down and got busy. Both of them were extremely busy, but Chen Ran was not busy at all. It was obvious that although Wang Zhiqing described him as mysterious, everyone was not very busy.
I believe that after all, he looks too young. These old men and women from the countryside undoubtedly look at people based on their age. Chen Ran is almost the same as their grandson. How can they trust Chen Ran.
Even Auntie Xiaohong, who had just praised Chen Ran to the heavens, did not come to Chen Ran's side. Her plan was to let Chen Ran give her an appraisal. She could choose any time. Chen Ran couldn't run away anyway, so now she would like to let the experts do it first.
Let's get it appraised. After all, she has been waiting in line for a long time.
No one came to Chen Ran for appraisal, and Chen Ran was happy to do so. After reading some appraisal program documents on the table, he watched Wang Zhiqing and the old man conduct appraisals. Of course, the most important thing was to absorb some energy apertures.
.
But the result was a bit disappointing. When he was outside, he saw a lot of real things. Chen Ran thought that there were more real things, but in fact it was not like this. At this time, there were so many people in the hall, and he
I used the energy aperture to detect all the things that everyone was carrying, and found that there were only five or six valuable things. The value here is only ordinary value. Of course, most of these are from rural areas.
For people, if it's only a few thousand, it's undoubtedly a sky-high price.
"Come on, Xiao Ran, show this thing to this old man..." Seeing that Chen Ran's place was empty, Wang Zhiqing naturally knew what was going on. When it was the turn of an old man wearing thick clothes, he observed
After a few moments, he suddenly handed the thing to Chen Ran.
When Chen Ran took it over, he smiled to himself. The thing Wang Zhiqing handed him was an oil lamp, and this oil lamp he had just identified was one of the only five or six genuine items. Wang Zhiqing suddenly
This oil lamp was given to him for appraisal. There was no doubt that it was to establish his prestige.
"Young man, you have to show me a good look..."
Wang Zhiqing suddenly handed the oil lamp to Chen Ran, which made the old man a little dumbfounded. However, in front of ordinary people, Wang Zhiqing obviously still had great authority, so much so that even when Wang Zhiqing gave the thing to Chen Ran, the old man did not dare to say a word.
, he could only move to Chen Ran's side. He was still a little reserved in front of Wang Zhiqing, but when he moved to Chen Ran's side, he relaxed.
"Old man, your oil lamp is a good thing."
Chen Ran pretended to look at the oil lamp and said something to the old man. Chen Ran's words immediately made the old man happy, and also made Wang Zhiqing, who was sitting over there, feel relieved. After handing the oil lamp to Chen Ran,
He also had some regrets. After all, this oil lamp was so unpopular that it would be difficult to identify it if he had never been exposed to it. Fortunately, Chen Ran did not disappoint him.
In the history of mankind in China, oil lamps can be regarded as one of the daily necessities that originated earlier and lasted and developed for a long time. According to archaeological data, as early as about 700,000 to 200,000 years ago, people in Beijing in the Paleolithic Age
Ape-men have begun to use fire in their lives, and lamps have appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period at the latest. According to historical records, lamps can be seen in the legendary Huangdi period.
However, as the most common lighting tool in daily life, the collection value of antique lamps has been ignored by people in the past, and most of them belong to the miscellaneous category in the collection category. Fortunately, Chen Ran has read a book called "Thirty Lectures on Oil Lamp Collection Knowledge"
I understand a little bit about the book.
Generally speaking, the value of ancient lamps depends on its age, material, craftsmanship, and rarity.
The oil lamp in front of me is a bronze chicken-foot lamp from the Han Dynasty. The lamp is supported by chicken feet, which means "rooster crowing". The lamp pool is decorated with dragon patterns on the outside and can be used as an oil lamp or a candlestick. Although it is already
The patina is mottled, but its vivid shape and imbued meaning give it high artistic and practical value.
"Old man, your oil lamp is a bronze chicken-foot lamp from the Han Dynasty. Let me tell you, it is an old thing from more than a thousand years ago..." Chen Ran did not tell the old man about this oil lamp.
The material, the year number of the year, and the artistic value etc. Obviously, even if I told the old man these things, he wouldn't understand.
Wang Zhiqing has been paying attention to Chen Ran. Hearing Chen Ran's words, he couldn't help but nodded secretly. Identifying this oil lamp can only show that the person's identification skills are good, and how he speaks and what tone he uses can tell a person.
Human character.
"It was more than a thousand years ago, how much was it worth?" The old man didn't care what kind of lamp it was or what year it was. What he cared about was undoubtedly how much the oil lamp was worth.
The old man was pushed to Chen Ran's side by Wang Zhiqing, and other people in the hall naturally started to pay attention to this side. After hearing what Chen Ran and the old man said, they all turned their eyes over.
"It's worth a lot, you can sell it for this amount." Chen Ran smiled slightly and stretched out three fingers towards the old man.
"Young man, can you sell it for three hundred yuan?"
The old man grinned. Obviously, for him, three hundred yuan is a lot of money. In the countryside, it basically doesn’t cost much. Three hundred yuan is enough for him to spend more than half a year.
Already.
"Old man, it's not three hundred, it's thirty thousand yuan."
"Thirty thousand?"
When Chen Ran said it was 30,000 yuan, the old man immediately covered his head. Others in the hall immediately became uproar. 30,000 yuan is undoubtedly a sky-high price for ordinary people, especially for ordinary people.
Such a broken lamp, worth 30,000 yuan, was so unbelievable that people even looked at Wang Zhiqing.
"Xiao Ran is right, the value of this oil lamp is indeed about 30,000 yuan." Wang Zhiqing smiled slightly and stood up to support Chen Ran at the right time.
After hearing what Wang Zhiqing said, everyone completely believed it. Their eyes turned red when they looked at the old man. After the old man reacted, he immediately held the oil lamp in his arms, as if he was afraid of being robbed.
He also wanted to borrow Chen Ran's phone, saying that he wanted to call his son and ask his son to pick him up, which made everyone in the hall burst into laughter. There was a landline phone in the hall, and Chen Ran dialed the number for him.
, after making the call, the old man sat in the hall and waited with an oil lamp in his arms. While sitting there, he looked very alert.
After having the old man, the effect was very obvious. A large group of people suddenly rushed to Chen Ran's side, and Auntie Xiaohong, who was following him, was pushed to the back.
The old things brought by these people in the hall have all been appraised by Chen Ran. Now it is not difficult for him to appraise them. He pretends to look at them with a magnifying glass and he can give an answer, which is better than what Wang Zhiqing appraised.
Be quick.
At first, after Chen Ran's appraisal, everyone didn't really believe it. They had to listen to Wang Zhiqing's statement again. However, after a long while of appraisal, no one did so, and they all saw that the young man in front of them
He is indeed a man of real ability.
Some discerning people looked at Chen Ran's appraisal process, and then looked at Wang Zhiqing's appraisal process, and found that although Wang Zhiqing's appraisal process looked very professional, in terms of speed, it was really slower than Chen Ran's.
Naturally, they didn't know that even at such a speed, Chen Ran had deliberately slowed down.
As time went by, there were fewer and fewer people in the hall. After all, it was already noon. Normally, no one would come back at this time. After two hours of appraisal, all the appraisals were finally completed.
The old man who was sitting in the living room waiting was also picked up by his two sons. After the appraisal, Jiang Tao and Xu Le, who had been waiting, immediately came forward to invite Chen Ran and Wang Zhiqing to have a meal. At this moment, Jiang Tao treated Chen Ran
Their attitudes are naturally different. They sound like an old classmate, and they are extremely affectionate.
When Wang Zhiqing heard that Jiang Tao and Chen Ran were old classmates, he also softened his expression towards him. However, Wang Zhiqing and Chen Ran were planning to get together alone, so they would not accept his invitation, so they turned it down.
Seeing the determination on Wang Zhiqing and Chen Ran's expressions, Jiang Tao had no choice but to leave temporarily. Fortunately, he got the contact information of Wang Zhiqing and Chen Ran.
After sending Jiang Tao and Xu Le away, Wang Zhiqing and Chen Ran walked out of the lobby of the Literary and Art Association while talking. But when they were about to step out of the door, a young man in his twenties suddenly ran in.
"Ouch... Young man, why are you running so fast?" The young man ran so fast that he almost bumped into Wang Zhiqing. Fortunately, Chen Ran had quick eyesight and quick hands, and he pulled Wang Zhiqing away and was not hit.
The young man bumped into him. After Wang Zhiqing stood firm, he glared with dissatisfaction at the young man who also stopped urgently.
Unexpectedly, the young man ignored Wang Zhiqing and rushed into the lobby of the Literary and Art Association, causing Chen Ran and Wang Zhiqing to frown.
"Why is there no one?"
The young man ran into the hall and saw that no one was there, so he shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Young man, do you want to appraise antiquities?"
The young man was carrying a big box on his back. From this, Wang Zhiqing could tell at a glance what the young man in front of him was going to do. Although he was almost hit by the young man just now and his attitude was not good, Wang Zhiqing was still
As for being stingy and getting angry out of embarrassment, he still treats young people in a friendly manner.
The appraisal activities of the Literary and Art Association are just like the morning market in the antique market. They only offer free appraisals in the morning, and basically no appraisals in the afternoon. The antique markets outside will gradually disperse at noon.
"Yes, yes..."
At this time, the young man also realized that the person he almost bumped into was an expert in identifying antiques from the Literary and Art Association. He felt a little embarrassed, but he was cautious and couldn't wait to ask: "Can you help me identify my antiques?"
Is this the knife you have in your collection?”
As he spoke, the young man took off the big box he was carrying on his back and held it in his arms. There was a layer of cloth wrapped on the surface of the big box. At first, Chen Ran thought it was something.
After hearing what the young man said, I realized that what he was carrying was a knife.
"Open it and take a look."
Wang Zhiqing nodded. Although he had already got off work, he was not in a hurry at this moment. Anyway, it would not take long for young people. Although he was not very proficient in ancient knives, whether it was Mr. Ma or his father,
Wang Daojian is a collector of cold weapons. In his family, his father has a lot of ancient knives and swords in his collection. He has become a little expert in this area.
Wang Zhiqing had no objection, and Chen Ran had no objection even more. He was also quite curious about the ancient sword.
When the young man heard this, he quickly put the big box he was holding on the counter, and then peeled off the black cloth wrapping the big box little by little. What appeared in front of Chen Ran and Wang Zhiqing was a
A black wooden box about one foot wide and one meter long. The entire wooden box is completely black, as black as carbon...
[The collection is increasing very slowly. I hope that friends who read the book and those who have not collected it can help me collect it. Xiaofu is very grateful...Thank you!]
