Wang Ke did feel a little disgusted with Xue Chen in his heart. He stole all the limelight in the teahouse and made him a foil. However, although he did not want to admit it, he subconsciously understood that Xue Chen was far better than him in antiques.
There is no way to deceive yourself.
The old classmate who was working in the local area saw the heavy expression on Wang Ke's face, and asked with concern: "Old Wang, you don't seem to be in a good mood. What happened? If it's convenient, just talk to your brother
Let me tell you, don’t keep it in your heart.”
Wang Ke sighed: "I'm not afraid of the jokes between Manager Jiao and Mr. Wan. I've been a little upset recently..." It's been a while since the incident, but every time he thinks about it, he still feels a little depressed. When he was in the capital, it was not easy to interact with outsiders.
explain.
He talked about some things that happened at the tea house and Xue Chen, stealing all the attention and making him completely become the background.
"Hey, now that I have said this, I am not afraid of your jokes. I always thought that my level was pretty good, but I really admire that Xue Chen. I can't compare with him. He is far behind."
After hearing this, a man of similar age present chuckled playfully: "Mr. Wang, you don't need to belittle yourself. Although I have never seen the Xue Chen you mentioned, I definitely don't think it is what you said.
There is level.”
"But everything I said is true and not exaggerated. There is no way I am trying to smear my own face." Wang Ke shook his head. He only met Mr. Wan today. His identity is not simple. This time the antique
The exchange event was held by Wan Tianliang, the son of the property owner of Tianyige Antique City in Pingyuan City. He was called Wan Gongzi by many shop owners in Tianyige.
He had come to Pingyuan City for a show, and he roughly knew Wan Tianliang. Because of his family background, he had been exposed to antiques such as porcelain, calligraphy and painting, gold, silver, and jade since he was a child. He had an extraordinary insight at a young age.
There are even rumors in the antique circle of Pingyuan City that when Wan Tianliang was still in college, he bought a piece of porcelain from the Sui Dynasty for 3,000 yuan from an antique street in a different place. The value was over one million. At that time, it became a
A good talk, all praising Wan Tianliang's vision.
Mr. Wan Tianliang chuckled, with a calm look, he glanced at Wang Ke and said: "Mr. Wang, as you said, that Xue Chen is only twenty-four or five years old, and he has just graduated from college.
Not long after graduation, where did he get that kind of insight? I think that this person may have a unique preference for Junci, so he has a more detailed understanding of Junci. Although it is not easy to come up with such a conclusion, it is understandable.
But I don’t believe that this person is really comprehensive and knows all kinds of antiques.”
He had just listened to Wang Ke repeat Xue Chen's understanding of Jun porcelain appraisal. Even he had to admit that it was indeed very insightful and profound. It was precisely for this reason that he said such words.
I miss Wan Tianliang. When he arrested Zhou, he caught a Kaiyuan Tongbao. When he was three years old, he began to recite limericks about identifying antiques. By the time he entered the first grade of elementary school, he could distinguish three generations of antiques without looking at the bottom money.
porcelain, and when he turned eighteen, the appraiser at their antique shop would discuss it with him when he couldn't see what he was looking for.
Now, he has inherited his father's business, managing the Tianyi Pavilion Antique City, and even serving as a director of the Pingyuan City Antiques Association. This is not because his father is the president of the association, but because of his own achievements, he thinks that he
His knowledge of antiques is unparalleled among his peers in Pingyuan City. Except for a few old gentlemen in their 70s and 80s, there is really no one who can convince him.
When he first heard about the experience of identifying Jun Ci, he was shocked in his heart and felt a little surprised. But when he thought that the other person was only in his mid-twenties, five or six years younger than himself, he identified this person.
He must have a preference for Junci and spend most of his time on Junci, so he has such an experience. It is impossible for them to have the same level in all aspects. He definitely doesn't believe it.
"This...I'm not very clear." Seeing that Wan Tianliang firmly believed that Xue Chen preferred Junci, and was able to express such a deep understanding at the teahouse, Wang Ke was also unsure whether it was true.
This is the case, and I have a vague hope that it is really like this.
"Mr. Wang, that Xue Chen just hasn't appeared in front of me. If he were in front of me, I would like to see how capable he is. Maybe with a few words I can reveal his old ways and kill him."
Wan Tianliang said confidently.
"Okay, let's not talk about outsiders, let's drink, drink." Wang Ke's college classmates raised their glasses and said.
After dinner, Wang Ke proposed that he would like to go to the exchange meeting. After all, the purpose of his trip was for "practical combat", to increase his knowledge and eyesight at the exchange meeting. It is perfect for an exchange meeting where there is a mixture of good and bad, fake and real.
But I learned.
Wan Tianliang really hoped to make friends with Wang Ke, a well-known host of Beijing TV station, to have another friend and a new path, not to mention that he was very prosperous, so he immediately offered to accompany him for a walk.
The two of them walked out of the hotel and went to the pedestrian street where Tianyi Pavilion is located. Wang Ke has been in contact with antiques for a short time, only three to five years. In the past, he just loved them. In the past two years, he has hosted a TV program related to antiques.
I also made some investments in antiques, and then I started to supplement my knowledge in antiques.
Wan Tianliang next to him has been educated since he was a child, and his attainments in antiques are far higher than Wang Ke's. Occasionally, Wang Ke will see some strange artifacts on the carpet that he doesn't recognize, but Wan Tianliang just opens his mouth and comes.
, and Wang Ke was impressed by his eloquent conversation.
Wan Tianliang enjoyed the compliments from host Wang Ke. After casually commenting on a pair of imitation Zhihondang Ru-glazed plates, Wan Tianliang asked with a smile: "Mr. Wang, who do you think is better between me and that Xue Chen?"
After getting in touch, Wang Ke also roughly understood the character of Mr. Wan. He was of a certain standard and had very high attainments, but he was also very arrogant and could not tolerate others being better than him. What could he answer? Naturally:
"I admire Mr. Wan's knowledge."
As for the higher and lower abilities of Wan Tianliang and Xue Chen, he really couldn't guess.
The two of them walked and walked, Wang Ke occasionally squatting down to study novel things, and chatting with Wan Qingliang for a few words, which gave him a lot of insights. He couldn't help but sigh to himself, practice really comes from experience.
Suddenly, inadvertently, Wang Ke glanced at the back of a familiar figure. He was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly looked up. After confirming it, he opened his mouth in wonder, thinking, this is too coincidental, how could he do it?
it's here?!
Since the abilities of his eyes and jade pupils have evolved over and over again, he has become particularly sensitive to the gaze of others. Even if his back is turned, he can feel someone staring at him, as if there is an invisible thorn stabbing his back.
Like his neck, he subconsciously turned his head and followed his gaze, and saw a stunned Wang Ke.
Wang Ke didn't expect that Xue Chen would suddenly turn his head and notice him immediately. His expression was a bit unnatural. After all, the relationship between the two was not very good.
Wan Tianliang on the side also noticed the change in Wang Ke's expression, subconsciously followed it, glanced at Xue Chen and asked: "Mr. Wang, have you met anyone you know?"
"Ah, yes." Wang Ke agreed, nodded and sighed, "That person is the one I said...Xue Chen, I didn't expect him to come to Pingyuan City too."
"Huh? Is he Xue Chen?" For a moment, Wan Tianliang raised his head, squinted his eyes and stared at the past, looking up and down. Sure enough, as Wang Ke said, he was very young. He thought for a while and said, "Why not
Let’s go over and say hello.”
"this……"
Wang Ke didn't feel like saying hello to Xue Chen. It was best to pretend he hadn't met him, but Wan Tianliang was already walking towards him, so he had no choice but to follow him.
"I didn't expect to meet you here." Wang Ke said after approaching.
Xue Chen nodded and replied, "It's quite a coincidence."
"Your Excellency is Xue Chen. You are indeed young." Wan Tianliang said with a smile.
"Who are you?" Xue Chen glanced suspiciously.
Wang Ke hurriedly introduced Wan Tianliang, who is the general manager of Tianyige Antique City and the director of Pingyuan City Antiques Association.
The relationship between the two was not very good, and they were not even friends. Xue Chen had no intention of chatting with Wang Ke. After saying "you are busy", Xue Chen turned around and left.
But when he was stopped, Wan Tianliang said with a smile: "Mr. Xue, stay. I heard that Mr. Xue is very accomplished in antiques, especially in the appreciation of Jun porcelain."
"I don't dare to take it seriously." Xue Chen didn't know what Wan Tianliang meant, but he felt that the other person's smile was a bit fake, a bit like hiding a knife in his smile.
"Mr. Xue, our Tianyi Pavilion is in front of us. Why don't we go over and have a cup of tea. I happen to have a few things in my hand that I can't see. How about you show me? Let me see Mr. Xue's eyesight." Wan Tianliang said.
He held his hands and said with a slight smile.
Glancing at Wan Tianliang, Xue Chen shook his head and refused: "Thank you very much, Mr. Wan, for your kindness, but I have something else to do, so I won't bother you anymore, and I won't bother you two."
Seeing Xue Chen walking away, Wan Tianliang frowned, thinking about something in his mind, while still staring at Xue Chen's back.
After walking away, Xue Chen still strolled slowly among the stalls, scanning his eyes like searchlights, directly sifting out the low-end and mid-range imitations that could be seen with problems at a glance, looking for the one among a hundred that might be like that.
One or two genuine items.
Most of the stall owners know about these authentic products. If you want to encounter the authentic products hidden inside that even the stall owners don't know about, and then miss them, the possibility is really very low, pitifully low.
Half an hour later, Xue Chen was hunched over, holding a red and black object in his hand while chatting with the stall owner. Suddenly, someone stood behind him and said something intentionally or unintentionally.
"It looks like it should be an imitation of the late Qing Dynasty lacquerware lamp holder from the early Song Dynasty. It's rare. It's really nice." (To be continued)
