"I said, why are you here? Those big guys above can't wait. I heard them say that the real painting we have hidden under the fake painting is a landscape painting by Liu Songnian. Maybe it can be worth a thousand dollars.
Two million."
Wang Dong had been waiting in front of the antique store for a long time. When he saw Xue Chen getting out of the taxi, he immediately came forward and dragged him towards the store while saying excitedly.
"Holy crap, is it worth so much money?"
Hearing Fatty Wang's words, Xue Chen was immediately startled. You must know that the treasure of Daxing Pawn is also the most valuable antique he has ever seen so far, costing only more than two million Chinese coins.
He knew that the painting would be valuable, but he didn't expect it to be so valuable. One or two million is enough for an ordinary person to struggle for most of his life.
"Why did I lie to you? It might be more than that. When I take out the things, I'll see who dares to say that I am losing money and making money." Wang Dong became more and more excited as he spoke, with a red light shining on his fat face.
While they were talking, the two of them had already walked up the stairs to the second floor.
Hearing the noise coming from the stairs, everyone on the second floor naturally knew that the real owner was coming, and they all turned their attention to the stairs. A few young people even stood up from their seats.
"Seniors, he is the person I mentioned to you who saw the painting in this painting, my good brother, Xue Chen!" Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, Fatty Wang suddenly showed a smile on his face.
, said in a rather proud tone.
After the words fell, those in the living room who had never seen Xue Chen couldn't help but show eager smiles on their faces, and stood up one by one to say hello.
On the faces of the Shen family, father and daughter, and Chen Suyuan, an expression of disbelief could not be suppressed. They never thought that in their imagination, the appraisal level was even higher than that of Xue Chen.
Some mysterious appraisal genius that deeply worried them turned out to be Xue Chen himself.
"Yes, the young man is very good. He looks like a material to be an appraiser. Old man Lin Shanyue is the executive vice president of the Haicheng City Antiques Association. If you need any help in the future, you can come to me at any time."
"My husband, Liu Ming, is the president of the city's calligraphy and painting association. Xue Xiaoyou has such a unique eye for appraising calligraphy and painting. He is really a rare talent. Are you interested in joining our calligraphy and painting association?"
"Little brother, my name is Sun Jinyang, and I am the owner of Zhenbaoxuan. I heard Boss Wang say before that you work as an apprentice in an antique shop and do odd jobs. Isn't this a joke? What, are you interested in coming to our Zhenbaoxuan?
As long as you are willing to come here, we can easily discuss the salary and benefits."
Just when Shen Wanjun and the other three were in shock, the big guys in the living room had already surrounded Xue Chen, greeting one after another and getting closer, handing out business cards while wooing them.
Sun Jinyang, who had been thinking about this for a long time, squeezed into the front row. When he spoke, his somewhat fat face showed a very amiable smile, which made people feel very comfortable.
When Xue Chen heard the words Zhenbaoxuan Sun Jinyang, his expression suddenly became strange. He calmly pushed back the business card Sun Jinyang handed him and said with a smile:
"Boss Sun, your news is a bit late. I used to be an apprentice in Daxing, but just yesterday, Uncle Shen asked me to be the appraiser in the store. I have no intention of switching to another company now."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xue Chen walked past Sun Jinyang, who had fallen into a petrified state, and came to Shen Wanjun and the others. He said apologetically: "Sorry, there was a traffic jam on the road, so I came a little late."
At this time, Shen Wanjun had also recovered from his surprise. He nodded at Xue Chen with a smile on his face, stretched out his arm, patted the outside of his shoulder, and said to everyone: " That's right, Xue Chen is not only our appraiser in Daxing, but also the chief appraiser, and he has also participated in treasure appraisal conferences on behalf of Daxing for a period of time."
The more he talked about it, the more smiles appeared on Shen Wanjun's face. At this moment, there was an indescribable joy in his heart.
After listening to the conversation between Xue Chen and him, other people present fell into astonishment. They never thought that the mysterious genius they were racking their brains to win over while they were still discussing passionately just now turned out to be Xue Chen. The chief appraiser of Daxing Pawn Shop. More importantly, this talented appraiser also represents Daxing in the treasure appraisal conference that has an important impact on the Haicheng antique community.
Daxing Pawn Shop is very powerful in the antiques industry in Haicheng City. Xue Chen is the chief appraiser there, so the possibility of being poached is extremely slim.
Moreover, if a new force like him were to represent Daxing in the Treasure Appraisal Conference, it would also cause many uncontrollable changes in this treasure appraisal conference. These were all unexpected by the people present.
Especially after Sun Jinyang heard this conversation, his somewhat ugly face suddenly turned livid. Three minutes ago, he claimed that he wanted to recruit the mysterious genius who identified the painting within the painting to represent his Zhenbaoxuan. Participating in the Treasure Appraisal Conference. Many people heard what he said at that time. Now that Shen Wanjun said this, it can be said that he slapped him in the face without mercy.
"It's really unexpected that the genius who identified the painting within the painting is actually the same person as the genius in Mr. Shen's shop. It's really gratifying."
"That's right, Boss Shen, I really congratulate you. I believe that with the help of Xiaoyou Xue, you Daxing will definitely shine in this treasure appraisal conference."
"Not just at the treasure appraisal conference, I think with Brother Xue's appraisal ability, Daxing's future will definitely be promising."
After all, these tycoons present are all experienced people. After a brief period of astonishment, several people who usually have a good relationship with Shen Wanjun began to come forward to congratulate him on recruiting a talented person. They gave him various kind words. It's more like pouring money out without any money.
On the contrary, those who had a normal or even bad relationship with Shen Wanjun all looked on with a straight face and cold eyes, with various lights flashing in their eyes, not knowing what they were thinking.
Although the antique circle in Haicheng City is not very large, it is divided into several different factions, and the competition between them has always been fierce.
This time, Shen Wanjun gained Xue Chen, an appraisal genius that impressed everyone, which immediately made people from different factions feel jealous and wary, and they all began to think about how to deal with it.
Shen Wanjun knew what these people were thinking without asking. While he was joking politely with those who were close to him, he was observing them with the corner of his eyes, and he was also making calculations in his mind.
When the atmosphere in the conference hall became a little weird, Sun Jinyang stood quietly in the corner, watching everything that happened in front of him with a gloomy expression.
"Damn it, how could this genius appraiser be chosen by Shen Wanjun? No! Having this young man in Daxing will definitely have an adverse impact on the future development of Zhenbaoxuan. If we can't come up with a solution as soon as possible, let alone In the future, even in the upcoming treasure appraisal conference, Zhenbaoxuan will most likely be overtaken by Daxing."
Thinking like this, Sun Jinyang suddenly had an idea in his mind: poaching!
He had to find a way to attract the suddenly rising genius appraiser to Zhenbaoxuan. In this way, it could be said that it would kill two birds with one stone. It would be beneficial to the development of Zhenbaoxuan, and it would definitely make Shen Wanjun furious. Thinking of this, Sun Jinyang's lips turned slowly. He slowly raised his head into a sinister sneer.
Although the decision had been made, Sun Jinyang did not immediately implement it. This matter was very important to Zhenbaoxuan. He had to go back and think carefully about how to bring Xue Chen to Zhenbaoxuan in a foolproof way. .
Thinking of this, he lost interest in this mysterious picture-within-a-picture. He looked at Shen Wanjun who was looking at him, then hummed softly and strode out of the door.
"After so many years, he is still so arrogant and arrogant. In his hands, Zhenbaoxuan will collapse sooner or later." Seeing Sun Jinyang's back disappearing at the top of the stairs, Shen Wanjun's face darkened and he murmured in a low voice.
Looking at Shen Wanjun, whose face was filled with coldness, Xue Chen just touched his nose and said nothing.
After all, he has been in this circle for more than half a year, and he also knows a little about the grudges and grudges in it, but in his opinion, these things have nothing to do with him, as long as he has a clear conscience.
"Seniors, we have met here and chatted. Isn't it time to take out this painting?"
Although Fatty Wang was careless, he had already noticed that the atmosphere in the living room was getting more and more wrong, so he coughed heavily, and after attracting everyone's attention to him, he rubbed his hands again and looked at his face. He said it with a smile.
Like Xue Chen, he was not interested in the grudges of these big guys. The purpose of letting these people come today was to take out the antiques in the painting. After all, they were antiques worth millions. To him, Quite important.
Hearing what he said, all the big guys also stopped talking, looked at each other for a moment, and all their eyes focused on Chen Suyuan.
Seeing this, Chen Suyuan had no choice but to say: "That's it, Boss Wang, when you went down to pick up Xiao Xue, we discussed it and I'm afraid we won't be able to pick up your painting until the day after tomorrow."
"You can only get it the day after tomorrow, why?"
When Wang Dong heard this, a look of confusion suddenly appeared on his face.
Xue Chen was also a little puzzled. The people in this room now are all the elites in Haicheng's antique industry. Although it is a little difficult to get this picture-in-picture, it will definitely not be difficult for them. So, why do you have to get it the day after tomorrow? (To be continued)
