The next round will be Meng Kai's appraisal round. The opponent comes out with a rather strange-looking man. His behavior is also a bit weird. He always likes to stare at Meng Kai. It seems that he can win if he keeps looking at the opponent with his eyes.
Likewise, maybe he wanted to take advantage of his momentum, but Meng Kai didn't pay attention to it at all.
The glass curtain rose again, covering the two of them inside, and also separated them at the same time. Even if they wanted to communicate, they could not communicate. They could neither see each other nor hear each other's words.
This is like an invisible opponent. This design is to test the player's mental endurance. If he is slightly weaker, he may feel a lot of pressure and affect his judgment. This is a very serious matter.
Fortunately, there seems to be no problem on both sides.
At the beginning of the competition, the booths were exactly the same, and the rules remained unchanged. Both sides pressed the red button, and the lights on the booths jumped around, and finally stayed on the other side's booth. In other words, the one who conducted the appraisal first in this round was
For those on that side, Meng Kai needs to wait patiently inside for a while.
Maybe he knew that standing like this would make the players more tired, so he raised a chair from the ground. It was quite comfortable to sit on. Meng Kai saw that there was a seat, so he started to do it for nothing.
You can leisurely close your eyes and relax on it.
At this time, the focus of these news media has temporarily focused on the other side, and the lens has been pointed to that side. Through the glass, you can still see relatively clearly.
Although today's competition is not broadcast globally, it can be seen directly in France. If anyone wants to pay attention, they can watch it by turning on the TV.
"I don't know what kind of treasure it will be this time. I always feel that it will be something like a gem. This country seems to have the most such treasures, and I may not even be able to count them."
Baidu made a prediction secretly. He did not go over to watch because the people on the other side had not come over to watch him just now, so for the moment, he did not plan to go there, otherwise others might make a fuss about it and say something.
They were the ones who were afraid first, and they needed to go over and take a closer look before they could feel confident.
And if their people went to see it first, then the people on the other side would spread rumors wantonly, saying that the Louvre was in cahoots with the three of them.
This is not easy to explain. It is possible to be suspected in this way, but if you act rashly now, others will seize the topic and make a fuss about it.
This is also the reason why Qiao Meng has been sitting there motionless. He believes in his own strength and doesn't even bother to look at it. Anyway, no matter what kind of treasure it is, he relies on his own ability to analyze, judge and arrive at the result.
That's fine, if it doesn't work, then no matter how much you worry, it won't help.
It can be said that he is more open-minded, and when Baidu was playing just now, he already felt that he had won a game first and Meng Kai's strength was higher than Baidu. It would be very strange if he lost.
His winning rate should be higher, even if the people sent by the opponent are stronger than before.
But there is still a gap between talent and talent, and such a gap will essentially lead to a victory or defeat between two people.
As for Baidu's speculation, Qiao Meng also analyzed it, "Well, indeed, these foreign people like to collect these things the most, so they like our country's porcelain so much. Here, a piece worth 500,000 yuan
A small porcelain vase can even be sold for four or five times, and selling for three million won’t be a big problem.”
Time passed by minute by second, and finally, the guy opposite was finished. According to the time calculation, it probably took more than eight minutes. This speed was indeed much faster than the previous one.
This is similar to running a race. When it comes to appraising an item, a few seconds faster is a huge leap, let alone a gap of nearly a minute.
"Sure enough, this guy is stronger, so the last one should be their backbone. However, now in France, the real masters of the older generation are living in seclusion, and the young talents are preparing for the World Championships again.
It’s really ridiculous for the three of them to come out and claim the throne.”
Qiao Meng looked at the man opposite him with disdain. He also looked at him. He looked like he was about forty years old. There was no doubt that he was an uncle.
"You are destined to lose. The winner will be me. This is what he said."
Baidu looked at the mouth shape of the person opposite and translated what he said to Qiao Meng. It seemed that his attitude was extremely arrogant and he was very confident in himself. He even looked down on Qiao Meng and the other three. Little did he know that what he was about to face was
No matter what kind of opponent he is, he may never want to come into contact with the treasure appraisal industry again in his life.
"Haha, I know what he said."
Qiao Meng chuckled, feeling that it was not interesting at all. Such an opponent might not have enough brains. They haven't even competed yet, so they were just second best.
"You know? Don't you know French? How do you know?"
Baidu asked very puzzledly. He thought Qiao Meng actually knew French, but he was just pretending not to know French, which blinded them all.
But in fact, it was not like this. It was just something Qiao Meng said casually, so he immediately explained: "No, that's what you told me. I don't know anything about French, and I can tell someone by looking at their mouth shape."
What can I say, if they had been so powerful, I would not have kept Yu'er and the others by my side, and would have let them return home."
"That's right. With your character, if you really don't need it, how can you let your own people take risks, let alone a woman." Baidu then realized that it was just a joke and it couldn't be taken seriously.
They were chatting here, not paying attention to Meng Kai who was studying the treasures carefully inside. They also had confidence in him. Of course, even if he lost, it would not matter. At worst, it would not be a problem if Qiao Meng could turn the tide.
The treasure that needs to be identified is, as they both guessed, a gem, but it is no longer a transparent and shining diamond, but a blue gem that looks very round and has a beautiful color.
It also exudes a very unique light, which looks very mysterious, as if it is not a thing in the world, but more like a bright star in the sky, which is inherently fascinating.
This is indeed a natural sapphire, and it is the dazzling diamond that was lost in the world many years ago - the Star of Asia, weighing 330 carats. It was originally produced in a country called Myanmar, and it is even more rare.
A world-famous treasure ten years ago.
Unexpectedly, the place that reappeared after disappearing for many years turned out to be France, and it was also the Louvre. This is enough to show that this country has plundered countless treasures from the region, even more than you can imagine.
The reason why this sapphire is called the Star of Asia is because it shines with six starlights. In the gem, you can see six radial bright lines that converge into a central point. It can also be said that
It is the sixth ray of light emanating from the center, which looks extremely mysterious and beautiful.
If you want to identify the authenticity of such a natural sapphire, you must have certain methods and familiarity with its characteristics. Otherwise, just because it looks good, it may not be real. Nowadays, technology is very advanced. If you want to
It is very simple to forge a fake sapphire that has the same effect as the Asia Star.
It can even be mass-produced, but it is difficult to tell the difference between the fake and the real one. The one Meng Kai is facing now is very likely to be like this, but only he knows the specifics.
He analyzed it alone: "The biggest feature of natural sapphires is that the color is not uniform, and most of them have straight growth lines. It seems that this one may be real."
"If not, then the technology of artificial sapphire is too terrible. It is really unimaginable to break through this difficulty."
Next, we saw another characteristic of natural sapphire, which is dichroism. If viewed from one direction, it may appear blue.
Viewed from another direction, it may turn blue-green. This characteristic is very unique. It is very different from the color of other gemstones and can be distinguished at one time.
The one in Meng Kai's hand, after he observed it from many different angles, he found that it was indeed the case. Sometimes it was blue-green, sometimes it was blue, and sometimes, the blue was very thin and had obvious characteristics.
At this point, he was basically able to determine the authenticity of the gem, but to be on the safe side, he still had to do a small test. He scratched the gem a few times on the stand and found that the scratches on it were clear, but the gem was not damaged.
, this level of hardness has passed, and the answer to the authenticity of the gem is clear at a glance.
"This Asian Star is indeed amazing. It is really a wonder in the world that such a gem can appear. With such a knowledge point, I, Meng Kai, am not really talking about dreams." Meng Kai felt very sad in his heart.
He said confidently that for such a difficulty, he was not worried at all that he would lose.
After the appraisal was completed, he pressed the blue button, and the time display appeared on the side of the booth. After looking at it, he saw eight minutes and eleven seconds, and he felt that he was a little slower.
If it wasn't for the time spent thinking about it, and if I had a few more glances when I had time to appreciate it, it would probably have been within eight minutes.
However, even so, his chances of winning are already very high. Next, it depends on Qiao Meng. The opponent may collapse a little. The most unreasonable person. As an opponent, I don’t know if this person still has the courage.
Then face the rest of your treasure appraisal life.
After coming out, Meng Kai said to Qiao Meng: "In the end, it's up to you. I believe you won't hold back."
"That's natural." After Qiao Meng said this with a smile, he walked in.
