"You are crazy. What kind of appraisal are you comparing to for no reason? Is there anything to compare with?"
Yang Xiaocheng looked a little crazy and said aggressively.
"What? You don't dare to compete? It seems like your friend doesn't have much ability."
When Zhang Yuan heard this, he was a little agitated. Now he really disobeys others when it comes to holding firm on antiquities.
So he spoke.
"Of course there is no problem in competing. After President Yang's birthday party is over, you can compete in any way you want."
The old man on the side heard this and said immediately.
"You don't have to wait until my birthday party is over, let's do it now, it's just a busy time."
The reason why he said this was that, firstly, he felt very happy after getting the fish that could make Mr. Zhang fall in love, and secondly, he wanted to see how capable Zhang Yuan really was.
Zhang Yuan was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that the old man would still like to watch the fun at such an old age, and then said to Yang Xiaocheng.
"Okay, how do you compare?"
"Of course it's better than appraising things."
Yang Xiaocheng turned to the old man and said.
"Grandpa, don't you often say that there are some things in your collection that you are not sure whether they are true or false? Why don't you let the two of them help you take a look today? If you come to different conclusions, let Zhang Lao give you the answer. That way,
We can differentiate ourselves."
The old man was in high spirits. After hearing this, he found it particularly interesting, so he said immediately.
"Okay, let's compare as you said!"
After hearing this, the corners of Yang Xiaocheng's mouth curled up imperceptibly, and then quickly disappeared.
Zhang Yuan couldn't help being stunned, and quietly asked Yang Xiaoyun who was standing aside.
"Should we go to your house again?"
Yang Xiaoyun shook her head and said.
"No, grandpa's collection is full of his favorite things. Because he was afraid that someone would come to the house and steal them, he didn't keep those things at home."
"Where are they all?"
"This hotel right here was invested by our Yang family, so when it was built, a secret room was specially built for my grandfather to store his collection."
Zhang Yuan was greatly shocked when he heard this.
Then, under the leadership of the old man, everyone came to a wall. The old man made one operation and the wall slowly opened.
What comes into view is a dazzling array of antiques, including calligraphy and paintings, porcelain bottles, and accessories...
The whole space looks like a small museum.
The old man stretched out his hand and said.
"This is all my collection. The two of you will look at each one, give a conclusion, and finally judge based on the accuracy and time."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Yuan and the appraiser looked at each other, and then started the appraisal work one on the left and the other on the right.
Ten minutes later, Yang Xiaocheng suddenly said loudly.
"Cousin, your friend is not very good either. The appraisal speed is too slow. He is not a newbie who has just graduated."
After hearing this, everyone immediately gathered together and started talking.
"Indeed, others have appraised more than ten pieces, but Zhang Yuan has only seen three pieces. The speed difference is too big."
"After all, Zhang Yuan looks like he's only in his early twenties. He can't compare to other senior appraisers who are over forty years old."
"Tsk, that guy named Zhang was so arrogant just now. I thought he was very capable. That's all."
…
Yang Xiaoyun felt unhappy and said directly to Yang Xiaocheng.
"Your appraiser is so good, why didn't you realize that your cane is a fake?"
Yang Xiaocheng didn't say anything and just kept inciting everyone to look at Zhang Yuan.
"Look, look at how he looks at that vase, what kind of technique he uses, it's too amateurish!"
"Oh my God, be careful and don't break it. If it breaks, I won't be able to afford the compensation if I sell it!"
"No, if you keep looking at one, can you see the flowers?"
…
Yang Xiaoyun couldn't bear it anymore and scolded An Nu directly.
"Yang Xiaocheng! Are you finished? Are you deliberately disturbing him?"
At this moment, Zhang Yuan put down the porcelain bottle in his hand, turned around, and said coldly.
"He doesn't want to disturb me, he just wants you to focus on me."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this and didn't understand what Zhang Yuan meant for a while.
But Yang Xiaocheng's expression changed.
Then Zhang Yuan was seen scolding the appraiser who was there.
"Hey! It's almost done. I can't pretend anymore anymore!"
The appraiser suddenly trembled and almost dropped the antique in his hand to the ground.
Seeing that everyone still looked confused, Zhang Yuan said to the old man.
"President Yang, if we continue to identify them, I'm afraid that small items like cardboard in your place will be turned into fakes!"
Only then did everyone realize that Zhang Yuan was actually saying that the man was passing things under their noses in the name of appraisal.
A member of the Yang family who had a bad temper immediately stepped forward and put his hand in the appraiser's pocket.
The latter was so frightened that he did not dare to move at all.
Sure enough, the Yang family took out several small items.
"Okay, I was talking about how you don't feel too hot wearing a black windbreaker. It turns out it's just a trick to deceive others!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Xiaocheng suddenly roared.
"Hey Liu Zheng, I regard you as a good friend, but you actually do such a thing! I have to kill you today!"
After saying that, he stepped forward and grabbed the appraiser's collar, dragging him out and looking like he was going to cut him into pieces.
But at this moment Zhang Yuan suddenly spoke.
"Oh, this matter was his own plan. Then how did he know that he would enter President Yang's collection today and have the opportunity to take action and bring everything with him."
Yang Xiaocheng stiffened and opened his mouth to explain.
"Let's bet. Opportunities are for those who are prepared. He must be always prepared."
"oh."
Zhang Yuan nodded and continued to ask.
"Then how does he know what President Yang has in the collection?"
Yang Xiaocheng pretended to be calm and continued to explain.
"It's not a secret, right? Everyone in the industry will know what good things my grandfather has collected."
Zhang Yuan frowned and asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"But I heard from your sister that the things in President Yang's collection are all his favorites, and not everything will be put in them. Can he still tell fortunes? Nothing is wrong."
Yang Xiaocheng stuttered and said.
"But, maybe I spilled the beans when I was chatting with him. Yes, I spilled the beans."
"Oh, I see."
Zhang Yuan said meaningfully.
Having said that, he believed that anyone who was not stupid would understand what was going on.
In fact, he discovered Liu Zheng's little move from the beginning, but he also guessed that it was Yang Xiaocheng's instruction.
So he felt that this was a family matter and not too talkative.
But Yang Xiaocheng really used him. After using him to enter the collection warehouse, he also used him to divert people's attention. This made him unbearable.
