After observing the painted pottery for two minutes and tapping the positions mentioned by Xue Chen, Shen Wanjun stood up straight and asked Chen Suyuan.
In fact, after re-examination, he basically believed Xue Chen's judgment, but from an insurance perspective, he still wanted to hear Chen Suyuan's judgment.
"What Xiao Xue said is my opinion. Although the imitation of this painted pottery is enough to look real, it is still fake after all. However, it is also an imitation of the late Qing Dynasty. In addition, the craftsmanship and raw materials are of the highest quality, so the value should be Between 300,000 and 500,000."
After hearing Shen Wanjun's words, Chen Suyuan took a breath and finally revealed his identification results.
After he finished speaking, he took a deep look at Xue Chen and said with emotion: "With such vision at such an age, this child's future is limitless."
Last night, Chen Suyuan heard about Xue Chen from Shen Wanjun. The reason why he came to the store this time was partly to read Yan Zhenqing's handwriting, and partly because he wanted to meet Xue Chen.
But he never expected that Xue Chen would give him such a big surprise when they met for the first time. It only took about the same time as him to deceive almost 80% of the experts with this figure, and even Even I was almost identified by the painted pottery that I was deceived into.
You know, when he first saw this painted pottery, Chen Suyuan also felt that this painted pottery was authentic. If he hadn't happened to touch the flying swallow and felt something was wrong, and at the same time had read relevant cases, he would have said Maybe it really hit home.
It is precisely because the identification of this painted pottery is extremely difficult, to the point where people at his level can easily misjudge it. After Xue Chen pointed out the problem to the point, Chen Suyuan, who rarely praises others, said this.
He even couldn't wait to chat with Xue Chen and ask him where he studied under and how he developed his skills.
Shen Wanjun and his daughter also had expressions of appreciation at this moment. They also did not expect that Xue Chen, who had been a secretive person for more than half a year, would be so capable in antique appraisal.
"Mr. Chen, you are exaggerating. I just think more than others, and my perspective on the problem is a bit strange." Sensing the heated gazes of everyone, Xue Chen said a little embarrassed.
"You kid."
Hearing Xue Chen's words, Shen Wanjun shook his head with a smile, and then turned his attention to the ugly-looking Huang Pinqing and the short, fat middle-aged man.
Glancing lightly at the middle-aged man with a bloodless face and no trace of arrogance at all, the smile on Shen Wanjun's face was instantly replaced by anger, and he shouted coldly: "Come to me and sell fakes, yours How brave you are!"
As these words came out, an invisible pressure instantly emanated from Shen Wanjun's body and enveloped the middle-aged man.
It's no wonder that Shen Wanjun was angry. After all, if there were no Xue Chen and Chen Suyuan this time and he had to do the appraisal by himself, he would probably lose tens of millions of property.
"Misunderstanding, this is all a misunderstanding, I'm leaving now, I'm leaving now..."
Feeling Shen Wanjun's anger, the middle-aged man swallowed hard, smiled apologetically, picked up the painted pottery on the counter and turned around to leave. He was very aware of Shen Wanjun's vicious reputation when he was young.
Looking at the embarrassed figure of the middle-aged man, Huang Pinqing, who was already barely holding on, turned even paler.
Seeing Huang Pinqing's performance in his eyes, and recalling all his previous abnormal performances, Shen Wanjun, who had worked hard from the bottom up, still couldn't see the fishiness in it. After snorting coldly, he directly took money from his wallet. Five thousand dollars were counted out and handed to him:
"Pack your things and disappear from here immediately. Also, don't let me see you in the antique circle again, otherwise the lesson I will teach you will not be as simple as dismissal!"
Hearing Shen Wanjun's cold words that suppressed his anger, Huang Pinqing collapsed on the chair as if struck by lightning. He instinctively wanted to defend himself, but when he saw Shen Wanjun's slightly narrowed eyes, he burst into tears. In the cold light, I really didn’t dare to say a word.
"How could this happen? How could things become like this! He shouldn't have seen it, he shouldn't have seen it."
Huang Pinqing was breathing heavily while thinking to himself. He never thought that the plan he carefully planned against Xue Chen would end with him being fired.
Although he was unwilling to do so, he did not dare to stay any longer. He picked up the money and his purple clay pot and stumbled out. When he reached the door, he paused for a moment and looked at him with a look full of resentment. After giving Xue Chen a vague glance, he staggered away.
"Xiao Xue, from now on, you will be my only appraiser in Daxing."
Watching Huang Pinqing leave, Shen Wanjun slowly exhaled and said to Xue Chen. Clear rewards and punishments have always been his principles. And he now believes that Xue Chen can shoulder the responsibility of an appraiser. .
"Uncle Shen, I won't let you down."
Hearing Shen Wanjun's words, Xue Chen was stunned for a moment, and then said firmly. Since he has decided to use Daxing as a springboard to strengthen himself, he will not shrink back in any way.
"Mr. Chen, I'm really sorry for you to see such a thing."
After receiving Xue Chen's answer, Shen Wanjun nodded with satisfaction, and then said to Chen Suyuan with some embarrassment.
In his opinion, it is always disgraceful for people in his store to do such things.
"The people in this industry are all mixed, so it doesn't matter. Rather than this, I would like to have a good chat with Xiao Xue." Chen Suyuan said with a smile on his face. He has been in this industry for almost a lifetime, something like I've seen so many things, so naturally I won't take it to heart.
"Okay, then let's go upstairs and have a good chat." Shen Wanjun laughed.
As Shen Wanjun finished speaking, Shen Zixi had already hung up the sign saying business was closed, and the four of them walked to the second floor together.
"Xiao Xue, you have been in Daxing for more than half a year, right? Have you heard of the annual antique appreciation meeting on our street?"
In a spacious room on the second floor of the pawn shop, Chen Suyuan looked at Xue Chen with a smile and asked casually. After a conversation, the more he looked at the young man, the more he liked him.
"You are talking about the antique appraisal competition between us and two other stores." Xue Chen's heart moved and he replied.
He had indeed heard something about the competition between Daxing and two other antique shops on the same street, but he was still not sure what Chen Suyuan's intention was in bringing this up.
"That's right, it's this antique appraisal competition. Calculate the time, this year's competition will start in a few days. Do you want to go and experience it? If so, I want you to represent Daxing and participate in this competition. A competition." After hearing Xue Chen's words, Shen Wanjun and Chen Suyuan first looked at each other, then took over the conversation and said straight to the point.
Shen Zixi originally proposed that Xue Chen take Huang Pinqing's place in this appraisal competition. Shen Wanjun was still hesitant at first, but after what happened just now, he had already made up his mind.
As Shen Wanjun finished speaking, everyone's eyes were focused on Xue Chen, waiting for his answer. Deep in the eyes of Shen Wanjun and his daughter, there was a look of nervousness and expectation.
Although Shen Wanjun's demeanor and tone were very relaxed when he mentioned the antique appreciation meeting, in fact, he still valued this matter very much.
This is because this annual antique appreciation meeting is ostensibly for the appraisers from the three stores to compete with each other on their skills and showcase the precious antiques in each other's stores.
But in fact, the appreciation meeting is a battlefield for these three highly competitive stores to fight for their own interests. Each store will work hard to demonstrate the level of its own appraisers through the appreciation meeting, and its own performance in this year. Among them, how many channels have been opened up and how many treasures have been obtained. In this way, I can build my reputation in the industry, win the support of the antique tycoons attending the meeting, and gain more purchase channels and market share.
To put it bluntly, every antique appreciation fair is related to the benefits that each store will gain in the next year, or even several years.
Therefore, every store attaches great importance to this matter, and even hires experts from outside at exorbitant prices months in advance to ensure victory.
If Xue Chen hadn't shown a more superb appraisal level than himself today, Shen Wanjun wouldn't have made up his mind to let him represent Daxing. Now that Huang Pinqing has been fired by him, he is really worried that Xue Chen will refuse.
"Of course I don't want to miss such a good opportunity, but I don't dare to say what ranking I can get." Under the gaze of everyone, Xue Chen thought for a moment and then simply agreed.
The reason why he agreed was because Shen Wanjun and his daughter trusted and valued him. More importantly, at the antique appreciation meeting, several precious antiques would definitely appear, and then he could make the mysterious antiques appear. Yu absorbed more spiritual energy. Since he had decided to use Daxing as a springboard to strengthen himself, he would not miss such an opportunity.
"Okay, I like people like you who do things simply. As for the specific situation of the appreciation meeting, Zi Xi will tell you in detail in the next few days. You don't have to worry too much about the ranking, but if you can If you lead Daxing to first place, I will give you a generous reward." Shen Wanjun said with a smile. Xue Chen's straightforwardness made him very satisfied.
"I will definitely do my best for your reward." Looking at Shen Wanjun with a smile on his face, Xue Chen made a rare joke.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Shen Zixi pretended to be angry and said: "Then you mean, if my father doesn't give you a reward, you will let it go?"
"Ah? I didn't mean that!" Xue Chen didn't expect Shen Zixi to say this at all, so he quickly stood up and explained.
Looking at Xue Chen who looked embarrassed, a burst of laughter suddenly sounded in the room. (To be continued)
