Soon, after the handover, Qiao Meng returned to the restaurant. By this time, Brother Huang Mao had almost eaten. He was eighty percent full himself. There was no need to order more, so he sat down and rested temporarily.
moment.
They say you must find something to do after you have had enough wine and food, otherwise you will feel bored. At this time, the whole restaurant started a lively discussion about the last treasure.
"Do you think this last thing is some kind of national treasure?" A relatively thin man said to the people at the same table.
"I don't know, but it's really possible." Another man beside him shook his head, but he believed that the possibility was not impossible.
Then I heard a lady sitting at the table in front of Qiao Meng and the others say: "I heard from my husband before that the last treasure this time was probably stolen from the treasury's collection, and its value is not small."
"No way, Gulou City dares to bring out this?" Another woman sitting next to the lady said in surprise.
"Why don't you dare? This is a black market. If you don't dare, just do the business above." The husband, who seemed to be a woman, shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly.
"That's true." When the two women heard this, it seemed that this was the truth, so they nodded and said no more.
I just heard that some people around me have gained a lot of amazing information. It is hard to imagine that there are 200 guests here. Each of them knows more or less some inside information. So, do they add up to fully know what is going on?
What kind of object is it?
Just now Abiao reminded Qiao Meng that he would definitely be very interested in such a treasure, so what kind of thing would make everyone not disappointed? Is it really like what I just heard, this will be something
A treasure stolen from the treasury?
If this is really the case, then we may witness a rare feast tonight.
Let’s not talk about whether this thing is really something that everyone will like. Just the fact that it is produced by the treasury is enough to make everyone crazy about it.
Because what can be selected into the national collection is definitely a very rare treasure in a certain field. Even if you don't like this type of thing, you will definitely not miss the opportunity to get it.
It's like a piece of cake. Although you may not like eating such a thing, if someone tells you that it is the most unique thing in the world, you will never tell others as calmly as before, "I don't need this cake."
"How about it, do you think what they said is true?" Brother Huang Mao saw that Qiao Meng was listening so absorbedly, so he asked.
"It's not clear yet, but I think it should be a good treasure. I'll know it when I go on stage to appraise it later. I think after giving it such a long time to rest, the appraisal time will probably be longer." Qiao
After thinking for a while, he returned.
This is what he guessed in his mind. After all, the suspension was announced when the last item was auctioned, so there must be a lot of time left. There is nothing wrong with extending the time for appraisal.
And this is a way to attract these people to bid, because the longer they look, the more trustworthy the treasure appraiser’s answers will be, and the more they will dare to bid.
"I think so. The next step is up to you, don't let me down." Brother Huang Mao nodded slightly and said.
"Understood." Qiao Meng responded.
These two words made Brother Huang Mao feel very comfortable. This was the first time he heard a simple answer. He would only speak like this if he recognized the relationship he had joined. Brother Huang Mao thought it was obvious that Qiao Meng was expressing his attitude by doing this.
, an attitude of being willing to obey orders and make arrangements.
But in fact it was not the case, this was just a smoke bomb thrown by Qiao Meng. His real purpose was to paralyze Brother Huang Mao step by step, so that he would trust him so much that he could finally follow his arrangements.
Everything was performed according to a reasonable script. Qiao Meng was very satisfied with the results. Now everything was ready and he only needed Dongfeng. He was waiting for the last treasure to be auctioned and everyone was gone before he could start taking action.
Just when everyone was sitting and resting and feeling relatively tired, the announcement in the restaurant suddenly sounded, "Dear guests, I am very happy to serve you. The next part will be the last highlight of the night. Please come and take a photo.
Hall, the bidding for the last treasure is about to begin."
Manager Li's voice came out clearly on the radio. His announcement made everyone present instantly feel refreshed and excited.
Not long after, the two hundred people returned to their respective positions.
"Thank you very much for your cooperation. We will definitely live up to everyone's expectations and invite the last treasure to the stage!" Manager Li announced with emotion.
I saw a maid wearing Hanfu, holding a small-looking painting in both hands and walking slowly from the backstage.
"This is?"
"This is the picture of Han Xizai's night banquet!" A sharp-eyed man suddenly recognized the work on the stage. Because of his words, the scene immediately became excited!
"What, how is that possible!"
"Oh my God, this is incredible!" More and more people saw this painting and exclaimed in disbelief. Why is this happening?
Just because this work is still hanging quietly in the treasury, I don’t know why it is put up for auction again. Is it really like what the noble lady said, that someone stole the work and then got the ancient work?
Did you come to a place like Loucheng to take action?
There are too many questions here, so I can only listen to what Director Li has to say first.
"I think some of you here may have already figured out what this is, so I won't introduce it too much. This is the picture of Han Xizai's night banquet." Manager Li really knows how to control the scene.
mood.
"Impossible. This painting is still hanging in the treasury. How did it end up here? This painting of yours must be fake." As soon as Director Li finished speaking, someone immediately accused him with dissatisfaction.
"Yes, this must be fake." Some people began to support this idea.
Qiao Meng was thinking about what this painting was about, but he was not worried about whether it was true or false, because he would know it by touching it later. What he was worried about was that if this situation continued, it would definitely affect the reputation of Gulou City.
At this time, Manager Li was surprisingly calm, "Everyone, please be patient and listen to me slowly."
"Okay, we need a reasonable explanation. I didn't expect that after waiting for so long and being so enticed by you, what I'm waiting for is something that you can tell is a fake even without looking at it. I won't agree to it without giving an explanation!"
This man seems to be addicted to bandwagons. He doesn't know that he has been targeted. He may not have much chance of survival if he leaves this place tonight.
Manager Li still didn't have much fluctuation, and still said calmly: "This is actually the largest order our Gulou City has accepted, because this is indeed an authentic work stolen from the treasury, and that high imitation
The works were replaced and hung in their original places. Here are some videos taken by the thieves as evidence. If you don’t believe it, you can take a look.”
After saying that, he started the operation of the big screen, and a relatively dim picture began to appear, but from the picture, he could still see relatively clear figures moving, and he quickly replaced the painting and pocketed it.
middle.
It seems that this is really a genuine product stolen from a national treasure.
"Oh, we mistakenly blamed Gulou City. I'm really sorry, but this is a bit too bold."
Everyone who watched the short video was frightened into a cold sweat. They didn’t expect that someone would be so arrogant. Even the treasury can come and go freely. If this is the case, then the world will be full of genuine products, but the treasury will be full of high imitations.
Taste.
Although they felt a little wrong when they thought of this, everything would disappear in the face of interests, and they were more willing to live happily themselves.
However, just having this video is not enough. The appraisal must continue anyway. Otherwise, if the organizer makes such a video every time, wouldn’t everything be authentic and become a national treasure collection?
"Okay, now it's time for the appraisal. This time everyone can come up and watch for one minute." Supervisor Li announced.
People who couldn't wait for a long time began to queue up to wait to go on stage. This is one of the top ten famous paintings in China, and its rarity can be seen from this. Even if you can't buy it yourself, it is always good to take a look and touch it.
Definitely worth it.
Just like not being able to buy a luxury car, being able to sit in one is also a great experience.
"Qiao Meng, I'm going to finalize this painting. Taking it back and presenting it to my dad will definitely make him happy. Then his status in the family will be stable." Brother Huang Mao said very excitedly.
"Okay, let me appraise it first. You have to see this thing yourself before you can feel at ease." Qiao Meng did not refuse Brother Huang Mao's request, because this was what he wanted to say, and he wanted to finalize this work.
A famous painting like this is definitely in demand, and there may be a situation where everyone will bid. It is not an exaggeration to call it an auction event.
Soon it was Qiao Meng's turn to go up. He didn't hesitate at all, and touched the whole picture with his hands.
Under the influence of the treasure appraisal ability, he seemed to be in the plot of the picture, with vocal music constantly echoing in his mind, but with a snap, all feelings were gone and his entire consciousness fell into darkness.
"This is actually fake." Qiao Meng frowned slightly, obviously feeling a little disappointed.
But that's fine, it's just a little pity. Even if it's a fake, the level of imitation of this painting has reached a certain level and it's hard to spot, so it can also spark an auction wave.
After stepping down from the stage, Qiao Meng adjusted his expression and said to Brother Huang Mao with a smile on his face: "Seize the opportunity. If you don't miss it, it won't come back again."
"Okay, I listen to you!" Brother Huang Mao was very happy at this time. According to Qiao Meng's words, this is an authentic work.
Treasures of this level are basically not found on the black market, so this is a rare opportunity.
For Qiao Meng, it is an opportunity to make a lot of money. After this round, it is very likely that he will make money that the Jade Pavilion cannot make in a year.
