Qin Fen frowned. Tian Hongwen was obviously determined to win. Just as he was about to speak, Xu Hongming next to him suddenly grabbed him.
"Mr. Tian, since you have staked your life's reputation, I will join in. If you win, I, the president of the Cultural Heritage Association, will take the responsibility and resign, and I will apply with the above to let you serve as the president.
, do you think this bet is okay?!"
Now, not only Zheng Boyuan, but also Qin Fen and Tao Boru were a little shocked. Xu Hongming actually staked the title of president of the Cultural Heritage Association. It seemed that the competition between Qin Fen and Tian Hongwen was already a life and death battle.
.
"You two, what are you doing?! The titles of president and vice-president are hard-won. How can you bet on them like a child's play just because of a competition?!"
At this time, Zheng Boyuan hurriedly stepped forward to act as peacemaker.
"Mr. Zheng, you have also seen that Tian Hongwen is a sure bet, and I am not afraid of your jokes anymore. In the past two years, as Tian Hongwen's fame has increased and he has appeared on major treasure appraisal programs,
He has gotten a little carried away, and he has done a lot of shameful things behind the scenes, and I, the president, have also done a lot of cowardice."
At this time, Xu Hongming finally stopped worrying and told his story, "With the craze for ceramics, Tian Hongwen's popularity suddenly increased, and he has been spying on my position as president for a long time, so today, you said that I
Whether it's a trap or helpless, I, Xu Hongming, am going to make an honest bet. Of course, my specialty is not porcelain appraisal, and I am definitely not his opponent, so I invited Qin Fen to come over and help. But this bet is mine. As long as Qin
If Fen Fen loses, it’s okay if I, the president, don’t do it!”
After Xu Hongming said that, he sat directly on the sofa and started drinking tea. Looking at his face, his heart was filled with fire.
Seeing that both of them had such tough attitudes, Zheng Boyuan, as an outsider, had no choice but to sigh, "Since you two insist on doing this, I won't say anything. Mr. Tao and I can only be witnesses, and you guys
Are you planning to identify porcelain or something else?!"
"Haha, it all depends on what Mr. Tian wants. I don't care!" Qin Fen chuckled and said casually.
"Hmph, young man, don't be too arrogant. Do you really think you are a master? However, I heard that you have studied a lot about porcelain. It just so happens that my major is also porcelain. Let's compete in appraising porcelain!"
As expected, Tian Hongwen was not completely dizzy. Although he said he was very proud, when he really put his mind to it, he still chose what he was best at.
"Haha... you have the final say!" Qin Fen said with a meaningful smile.
"Huh, Mr. Zheng, I'm going to trouble you now!" At this time, Zheng Boyuan glanced at Qin Fen disdainfully, and then turned his eyes to Zheng Boyuan.
Zheng Boyuan lowered his head and thought for a moment, and then said seriously to Qin Fen: "Qin Fen, the most indispensable thing here is porcelain, but after all, Tian Hongwen and I are old acquaintances. If I host it, there will be some suspicion.
Why don’t I go find some friends to borrow some porcelain?!”
Hearing this, Qin Fen felt very happy. Zheng Boyuan was indeed an upright person. But at the moment, Qin Fen felt that it was not necessary at all and said: "Mr. Zheng, I believe you! So there is no need for us.
Excuse me, just be a witness, and as for the porcelain, just use Yun Gutang!"
Zheng Boyuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded to Qin Fen with a smile on his face. Not to mention anything else, Qin Fen's state of mind alone filled him with admiration. As the saying goes, if you have no ghosts in your heart, you will feel at ease!
"Okay, that's just right. I just collected something here today. Take it out and let's help palm the eyes together!" After Zheng Boyuan said that, he stood up directly and walked towards the Duobao Pavilion not far away, and then walked down from the
From the safe, a yellow brocade box was taken out.
At this moment, everyone's eyes fell on the box in Zheng Boyuan's hand, and the atmosphere instantly became quiet. This competition was about to begin, and the stakes were even more shocking.
"You two, this is something I just received a few days ago. To be honest, I can't see it through myself. Please help me!"
While speaking, Zheng Boyuan slowly took off the lid of the yellow brocade box, and then saw a piece of porcelain lying on the yellow satin.
Seeing this thing, several people gasped. The thing inside turned out to be a pot-shaped porcelain.
"Tibetan kettle?!"
After Tian Hongwen saw this thing, he suddenly felt excited.
"It really looks like a blue and white teapot!" Qin Fen also said with surprise.
"Haha, both of you are right. This is exactly a blue and white flower-and-bird teapot. Now let's help you identify it! Is it a genuine one or a fake?! If it's a genuine one, let's check it out.
What dynasty was it?! What kiln was it fired in?!"
After Zheng Boyuan said this, he glanced at the two of them with a smile, then leaned back on the sofa.
Although Xu Hongming and Tao Boru didn't know much about porcelain, they recognized this thing. However, after hearing Zheng Boyuan's question, they all frowned and turned their attention to them.
At this moment, Qin Fen's expression did not change at all, and he even had a slight smile on his face. He glanced at the teapot with a handle, intentionally or unintentionally.
However, Zheng Boyuan on the side had a serious face and his eyes were fixed on the teapot.
"Qin Fen, are you coming first or me?!" After a moment, Tian Hongwen raised his head and looked at Qin Fen coldly.
"Haha, respecting the elderly and loving the young is a traditional virtue. Mr. Tian, please invite me first!" Qin Fen looked confident.
"Then I'm not welcome!" Tian Hongwen gave Qin Fen a cold look, and then carefully took out the handle pot from the brocade box.
For a moment, Tian Hongwen held the blue and white teapot with both hands and began to observe it carefully.
Seeing Tian Hongwen's serious attitude, to be honest, Qin Fenxin was very impressed. It could be seen that the other person was very professional in appraising treasures and did not miss an inch.
Seeing that Tian Hongwen was very focused, Qin Fen was not in a hurry. Instead, he picked up a cup of tea and gestured to Zheng Boyuan and others. The three of them hurriedly picked up the cups and drank tea. Little did they know that all three of them were holding a cup of tea.
Khan, Xu Hongming and Tao Boru knew Tian Hongwen's methods. Once the identification was correct, Xu Hongming would be in trouble. As for Zheng Boyuan, his mood was extremely complicated. He didn't know whether he wanted Tian Hongwen to win or Qin Fen to win!
In fact, when talking about betting, Qin Fen suddenly remembered a contest between him and Peng Wanli, the president of the Dongchang Heritage Association, when he was in Dongchang.
Peng Wanli was also extremely arrogant at the beginning, and he was always famous for touching porcelain and jade. Of course, Qin Fen did not deny that the other party had some skills, but he really did not dare to compliment him on his ability to touch porcelain. If he could really do it without relying on his eyes, he would
If you can tell the authenticity of porcelain and other things by touching it, then you are truly considered a master in the industry.
Of course, Qin Fen is like this now. His yin and yang eyes have helped him achieve countless achievements. Just like now, with just a glance, Qin Fen already knows the ins and outs of this thing, but now he wants to see Tian Hong
wen’s ability.
Time passed by minute by second. Except for Qin Fen, the remaining three people all had serious expressions on their faces, and they didn't even dare to take a breath.
It should be said that Tian Hongwen really didn't pay attention to other people at this moment. He even took out the strong flashlight he carried with him from his bag, as well as treasure appraisal tools such as magnifying glasses. These are all must-haves for professional treasure appraisers.
Something.
After about half an hour, Tian Hongwen finally felt relieved and carefully put the handle pot back into the brocade box.
"Mr. Tian, how are you doing?! Is this blue and white teapot real?!"
At this time, Chief Zheng Boyuan took the brunt and said nervously to Tian Hongwen.
Tian Hongwen was about to speak, but turned his head and glanced at Qin Fen and Xu Hongming, and the expression on his face became much colder.
Seeing this scene, Qin Fen showed a smile on his face and said lightly: "Mr. Tian, I, Qin Fen, believe that my ability is always my own. I'm really not interested in your appraisal, so there is no need to be like this."
Be on guard against me, of course if you are worried, I can go out for a walk now!"
After Qin Fen finished speaking, he stood up and walked towards the lobby outside.
At this time, there were still many customers outside, which made Qin Fen have to admire Zheng Boyuan. This is an antique shop. Although his Zhengde Zhai is developing well, it is still in a small place, so he has already made up his mind.
, move Zhengdezhai to the capital as soon as possible. In the future antique world of the capital, Qin Fen will definitely have a place, and he can even stand out among the others!
Qin Fen left suddenly, which made Xu Hongming and Tao Boru feel a little worried. Zheng Boyuan on the side had a happy smile on his face. He was becoming more and more interested in Qin Fen.
Let me ask, who in the antique business today can be as upright and aboveboard as Qin Fen?!
"Okay, Mr. Tian, now that Qin Fen is out, please tell us your judgment!" After a moment, Zheng Boyuan cast his eyes on Tian Hongwen.
Tian Hongwen then glanced at Xu Hongming coldly, and then said with excitement: "Mr. Zheng, I don't know how much you spent this time?! But I looked at this carefully just now and determined that it is a blue and white flower and bird teapot.
Authentic! Absolutely authentic!”
When several people heard this, they were all stunned, especially Xu Hongming and Tao Boru, whose expressions became more serious. They did not expect that this thing was real. It seemed that Zheng Boyuan had made money again this time.
"Well, Mr. Tian, you have seen it clearly. Is this blue and white flower-and-bird teapot authentic?!" Zheng Boyuan frowned and confirmed again.
At this time, Xu Hongming and Tao Boru all moved forward.
"Haha..." Tian Hongwen smiled slightly, then looked at Xu Hongming and Xu Hongming coldly, and finally nodded and said: "Don't worry, this is definitely true, but I don't know how much Mr. Zheng paid for it.
But according to my estimation, this blue and white flower-and-bird teapot is worth at least around 10 million!"
"hiss……"
Hearing the price, the three of them took a breath, obviously shocked by the price. It seems that this thing is probably very old. If it were blue and white from the Qing Dynasty, the market price would be about three million.
"Well, for the sake of fairness, I won't say much else. Let's ask Qin Fen to come in and let him do the appraisal too!"
