Zhou Zichen, who remained silent, finally spoke. What he wanted was an attitude, an attitude from Fan Yi.
If Fan Yi remained silent or swallowed his anger, Zhou Zichen would never speak!
"What qualifications do you have to talk to me?" A hint of evil flashed in Fan Lun's eyes. In his opinion, Fan Yi's friend was his enemy, and he was still an outsider. What qualifications did he have to talk about himself?
"Brothers turn against each other and become enemies. If the grudges of one generation cannot be resolved, the next generation will be implicated? Are you really not afraid of being embarrassed if the news spreads?" Zhou Zichen did not answer, but asked sarcastically.
"Where did this ignorant young man come from? Fan Yi, are you friends with people like this?!"
Fan Deyi didn't look good. Of course they knew it would be unpleasant to spread the word, but who among the people present dared to spread the word?
Not only did he not dare to spread the word, there was no one who dared to tell the truth! As an outsider, what qualifications did he have to make irresponsible remarks here?
"Haha, I naturally have my own principles for making friends. Since you are my friend, do you need to talk about qualifications? According to you, do I have no qualifications to speak? Does my father no longer have the qualifications to speak to you?
?”
Fan Yi couldn't help it for a long time. Now that he sees Zhou Zichen taking the initiative to speak for him, he can't break Zhou Zichen's heart even if he lowers his face and fights with these people!
Besides, they knew very well about him, and how Zhou Zichen treated him, he also knew very well!
"Qualifications are not something you just say you have! Since your friend doubts me, let him explain it carefully. Are the things I just sent out fake?!"
Fan Lun slowly stood up and stared at Zhou Zichen. If eyes could kill, Zhou Zichen would have died in his heart thousands of times.
This guy actually dares to question himself, which is really unforgivable!
"I can't say it's fake, but what you sent is really clumsy!" Zhou Zichen also stood up and looked at Fan Lun without fear.
"He said it was inferior quality? How is this possible..."
"That's right. How could the things Master Fan Lun give you not be of high quality?"
The other Fan family members around did not believe what Zhou Zichen said at all, and there were many appraisers present. Although they did not take a closer look, they could tell just by looking at the color that the value was definitely high!
"Why do you say that the things I sent out are inferior?"
Fan Lun's eyes sparkled. Although these things were indeed not brought back from abroad as he said, he had carefully selected them for a long time. Besides, Zhou Zichen had never touched them, so how could he know whether they were good or bad?
"Then listen carefully, I will give you a good lesson today!"
"First of all, the first thing, the bracelet." Zhou Zichen had confidence on his face. He had the power of his eyes, how could he see it wrong?
"This bracelet is perfect both in terms of workmanship and material selection. It is truly violet jadeite."
When Zhou Zichen said this, everyone around him laughed. Wasn't what he said nonsense? Fan Lun introduced it before, does he need to repeat it again?
"What's the difference between what you said and what I said before? What I'm asking is why do you say it's inferior!" Fan Lun looked at Zhou Zichen with disdain. If Zhou Zichen couldn't say one, two, three
, Zhou Zichen should not even think about getting out safely from here today!
"You haven't finished speaking, why are you interrupting?" Zhou Zichen glanced at Fan Lun with some displeasure, why were he so anxious to lose face?
"Aunt Fan, please take out the bracelet and put it under the sun and take a closer look. Is it a bit unclear?" Zhou Zichen then said to Fan Xiaoyu.
After hearing this, Fan Xiaoyu took out the bracelet from the glass box and put it under the sun. It did not look very transparent, but what could this mean?
"Hmph, I said before, this is full-color violet jade, if you don't understand, don't talk nonsense!"
Fan Lun snorted coldly, not taking what Zhou Zichen said to heart at all.
Full-color violet jade is different from ordinary violet jade, the color is more intense, and it is more valuable!
"You are wrong about this. Full-color violet jade will not change color at all when placed in the sun, but do you think its current color is only richer in the middle and lavender around it?" Zhou Zichen continued.
This purple bracelet can only be regarded as a mid-to-low-end light violet jade, and the texture is slightly thick. But the fundamental reason why Fan Lun mistakenly thought it was a full-color violet jade is because of the special nature of this bracelet. Its middle texture is not at all
Jade, but stone!
So this is also the reason why the middle looks opaque under the sun, because it is simply an airtight material, how can it be seen through?
"This doesn't mean anything!" Fan Lun felt a little uneasy. Zhou Zichen's sudden appearance made him feel pressured. He prides himself on his sharp eyesight and has never misjudged a treasure since his debut.
"How much did you pay for this bracelet?" Zhou Zichen suddenly asked.
"How about half a million?" Fan Lun said proudly. He was indeed worthy of pride. A bracelet cost half a million, and it was a gift. It showed that he was indeed generous.
"Let's make a bet. If you smash this bracelet and it's really full of violet jade, I'll pay you and I'll compensate you another five hundred thousand. But if this isn't true, then you
I have to bow my head and apologize to Fan Yi!"
Zhou Zichen thought very clearly that he didn't want the other party to give him money. The key was how to let Fan Yi gain a foothold in the Fan family and at least have the qualifications to negotiate.
Fan Lun fell into silence, and the people around him also fell into silence.
If Fan Lun agreed to this matter, he might get one million, and the worst result would be to lose some face. If it were someone else, he would definitely choose to take a gamble.
But Fan Lun didn't dare!
He is not the kind of person who likes to gamble, and he will not do anything that is uncertain. To be precise, he was scared by Zhou Zichen.
The sudden appearance of Zhou Zichen disrupted all his original plans. He originally planned to force Fan Deyuan to hand over his position as the head of the family, but he did not expect that Zhou Zichen's words disrupted the situation.
Moreover, he actually followed Zhou Zichen's words to climb up the ladder in the beginning, and now he can't get off the stage.
He didn't know Zhou Zichen at all, so he couldn't tell whether Zhou Zichen was really confident now or just pretending. Moreover, once he lost, he would be bowing to Fan Yi. He would never allow this kind of thing to happen, and would never allow it at all.
!
"Haha... I will bet if you ask me to bet? This is a gift for my sister-in-law. If it is true, it is not something you can solve with money. It is my heart!"
After Fan Lun figured out the pros and cons of the matter, he directly rejected Zhou Zichen.
Other people in the Fan family around were talking a lot, and the voices were too low for Fan Lun to hear, but they were not good words. From the perspective of outsiders, Fan Lun was at a disadvantage in this confrontation, and Fan Lun's face no longer looked like that.
He was so calm and measured before.
"Okay, then let's talk about the blue and white porcelain you're talking about." Zhou Zichen changed the topic and stretched out his hand to Fan Decheng, gesturing for him to hand over the porcelain bowl to him.
Although Fan Decheng was a little dissatisfied with Zhou Zichen's attitude, he now also wanted to know what kind of words Zhou Zichen could say this time.
Others did not dare to doubt Fan Lun, but he was Fan Lun's third uncle, and he believed Zhou Zichen's remarks just now, so this move was also to see if the second nephew was really fooling people.
Zhou Zichen put the porcelain bowl in front of his nose, smelled it, and tapped the edge of the bowl with his hand. The sound was crisp and clear, and the blue and white were transparent, so there was no doubt that it was blue and white porcelain.
The bottom of the bowl does have "Made in the Kangxi Period of the Qing Dynasty" written on it, but one of the petals is not very symmetrical, and the workmanship is a bit rough, and there are some burrs on the edge of the bottom of the bowl.
"How much did you spend on this porcelain bowl?" Zhou Zichen asked after analyzing it in detail.
"The price is the same as the gift to my sister-in-law, five hundred thousand!" Fan Lun replied with a stern face. He didn't know how long Zhou Zichen would continue to make trouble this week.
Fan Lun still has confidence in himself. He has not trained in vain for so many years. He has learned a lot from his father.
"This is indeed blue and white porcelain, but it was made in a private kiln, and the workmanship is rough, with slight burrs on the bottom. The overall value is not more than one hundred thousand." Zhou Zichen said lightly.
"You fart!" Fan Lun was furious. If there really was such a problem, how could he not know about it?
"Don't believe it? If you don't believe it, let your third uncle go back and get a professional instrument to identify it and see if there are any subtle differences?"
Zhou Zichen threw the porcelain bowl back, and Fan Decheng quickly caught it with his hand.
It doesn't matter how much it's worth, as long as it's valuable, anyway, what Fan Jian gave away was only about 100,000 yuan. As for the copper plate, it was indeed a random thing. In general, it was like this, no one would lose.
It's just that Fan Lun's face will be lost today no matter what. He boasted that the things he gave were worth hundreds of thousands, but Zhou Zichen said they were worthless.
"By the way, Uncle Fan, I just meant it when I told you to keep that copper coin, because it is really Kaiping Tongbao and not a fake!"
Zhou Zichen dropped another bombshell before Fan Lun could get over his anger. This time it was Fan Jian's turn to be anxious.
"No way! The store just picked it up on the roadside and gave it to me as a gift!"
Fan Jian looked in disbelief. How could he give Fan Deyuan something really good?
But as soon as he finished speaking, his expression changed. Although he said before that it was something from the jade shop, he did not admit that it was something he picked randomly after all!
"Then you are really lucky, Brother Fan, why don't you thank your third brother?"
Zhou Zichen had his hands folded across his chest, quite like everyone else, and just standing there made people feel the urge to admire him.
Fan Yi was numb now. From the first time Zhou Zichen questioned Fan Lun, he never thought that this matter could be settled through negotiation, but he didn't expect that Zhou Zichen alone would silence all of them.
.
"Well...thank you third brother, I won't call you by your name this time. After all, you still have to have a conscience!"
Fan Yi made a double entendre, not only venting his previous anger, but also saying that Fan Jian had no conscience.
"snort!"
Fan Lun slapped the table and turned around to leave, but as if he remembered something, he stopped abruptly.
"Having said all that, Fan Yi, what have you prepared? It won't be the same as last year, changing hands and sending back the things we gave you the year before last, right?"
Fan Lun was unwilling to give in, very unwilling! Originally, he planned to make Fan Yi lose face in front of everyone and hit him until he didn't want to be the head of the family, but now why is his momentum rising again?
Fan Lun only thought of such a thing when he was about to leave at the end. He wanted to see what kind of thing Fan Yi could come up with!
