Appraisal
In front of the stall, the man's face turned red as he listened to the discussions around him.
He thought that after making a scene, the other party would give him the money. He did not expect that it would be of no use at all and he would even be squeezed out.
The man glared at Wang Mazi and turned to leave. However, he heard a voice behind him.
"Uncle, wait a minute. I really like this furnace. How about you give it to me?”
The man turned around and realized that it was a young man who called out to him. He was stunned for a moment." You want to buy my furnace?”
"That's right." Qin Hao nodded calmly, but he was extremely nervous.
Someone couldn't help but advise," Young man, the Xuande Furnace in his hand is a counterfeit. It's not worth it to buy it back."”
"You're still young. Don't come here to watch the show.”
"The Xuande furnaces on the market are all fake and very difficult to distinguish. The incense burner in his hand has dim patterns and is not a good product.”
The people around were all advising Qin Hao, worried that he was inexperienced and would be deceived.
The man was still suspicious, but when he heard this, his expression changed and he said loudly,"This little brother wants to make a deal with you. What are you arguing about?”
"I bought this incense burner for 4000 yuan. Although it's not an antique, it's still valuable.”
Wang Mazi chuckled."I still have about ten censers here. The price is negotiable. They're all around 3000 yuan."”
The man immediately changed his mind."But little brother, since you like it, I'll sell it to you for 2000 yuan."”
When Qin Hao heard the introduction at the beginning, he thought that there was a mistake with the appraisal art. However, the situation changed later and the result was the same as the appraisal art. He heaved a sigh of relief and became even more confident.
"Alright, then let's trade now.”
The two of them traded very quickly, and the surrounding people did not have time to stop them.
The man sold the incense burner and left the antique market in a hurry. He was worried that Qin Hao would return the goods.
The onlookers shook their heads and went back to their own things. However, the transaction that happened here spread throughout the entire market.
A hothead who didn't listen to advice and spent money on a useless incense burner.
However, behind them, Qin Hao was hugging the incense burner and smiling smugly. He walked to a quiet corner and examined the incense burner he had bought.
When the real Xuande Furnace came out, they would know who the hothead was.
The incense burner was very small, only about 12 centimeters. At the bottom, there were six words written: "Ming Dynasty Xuande Year System".
Qin Hao looked around and muttered softly,""A furnace within a furnace? Does that mean there's another furnace inside? How do I take it out?"
"Could it be that after breaking the outer shell, another incense burner will naturally appear inside?”
After looking at it for ten minutes or so, he did not dare to experiment rashly because he was not a professional in this field, so he could only give up.
"There are specializations in every field. If we go to those auction houses to ask people to appraise it, they should have encountered this kind of furnace within a furnace.”
Thinking of this, Qin Hao's gaze became firm as he walked into the antique market.
He remembered that there was an antique auction house inside, and there were also various services such as appraising treasures and custom-made jade stones.
The Wanbao Pavilion was a renowned auction house in Lian City. It held a few charity auctions every year and was very famous.
Even the two security guards standing at the door were veterans who had spent a lot of money to hire. They were very imposing.
Qin Hao took a look and walked inside. The hall of the Wanbao Pavilion was very empty, but there were more staff than guests.
Seeing someone enter, a beautiful lady in charge of reception smiled and said,""Hello, sir. What do you need?”
"Oh, I'm here to find someone to appraise the item. Are you free now?”Qin Wu casually took out the incense burner.
The receptionist made an inviting gesture." Master, you're on standby. This way, sir."”
After turning a corner, an old man with white hair was sitting on a recliner. The receptionist came forward and said a few words.
The old man sat down from the recliner and faced Qin Hao.""Little brother, take out the item that needs to be appraised.”
Qin Hao handed the Xuande Furnace to the other party.
The old man carefully took it with both hands and placed it on the table in front of him. There was a cushion on it.
He first looked around roughly, then took out a magnifying glass to look at it in detail. He looked at it for more than ten minutes.
At this moment, the back door was pushed open. A girl walked in and said,"Grandpa, why did you come here again? There are so many collections at home. Why did you have to come here?”
"Hey, Qin Hao, you're here too. Didn't you go to school today?”
Hearing the girl's voice, the old man was still carefully looking at the item in front of him and did not answer.
Qin Hao looked up and was slightly surprised. The person in front of him was the school belle, Tang Miaomiao.
Seeing that she could appear from the back door of the Thousand Treasures Pavilion, her status here must not be low.
Because they were in the same class, she had some impression of him and could call him by his name.
Qin Hao shook his head lightly." I didn't go to school. I'm going out for an internship soon. It doesn't matter. I'm here to appraise something today."”
Tang Miaomiao was wearing a white dress today, which accentuated her good figure. Her skin was fair and she had a gentle temperament.
She looked at Qin Hao in surprise because she realized that he only glanced at it and then stared at the antique.
One had to know that when she went out for a walk, 200% of people would turn their heads. In school, she was also the center of attention. People called her the department belle, goddess, and so on. There were often people who peeked at her.
Ordinary students would blush immediately after a few words with her. Most of them would feel ashamed because of her temperament, and they had yet to have a boyfriend.
Qin Hao was actually very calm in front of her. He was not suppressed by her temperament at all.
Tang Miaomiao was about to say something when her grandfather suddenly raised his head and laughed."Wonderful! It was wonderful beyond words. The ancients were really wise.”
"There's another incense burner outside, but it didn't damage the structure inside. If you're careful, you can still separate it.”
"Little brother, I want to take out the incense burner inside. What do you think?”
Hearing this, Qin Hao was a little hesitant. What if this old man's skills were not good enough and broke the incense burner?
Seeing the other party's hesitation, the old man thought quickly and understood the whole story. He stroked his beard and said,"How about this? I'll set a contract with you. If you break the items inside, I'll compensate you with 5 million yuan, okay?”
At his position, he no longer cared much about money. He was all focused on his own interests.
He couldn't see the true face of the incense burner inside, so he felt his heart itch.
"Alright, then we'll do as you say.”Qin Wu nodded in agreement.
The old man pondered for a while and said," Miao Miao, get someone to bring me two promissory notes. Also, you know where I keep my usual tools."”
Ten minutes later, the contract was signed and the incense burner was surrounded by Old Master Tang's tools.
Grandpa Tang was going to break the incense burner outside. There was a very powerful technique inside. Tang Miaomiao and Qin Hao watched in boredom.
"Hey, Qin Hao, where did you get that incense burner?" Tang Miaomiao asked suddenly.”
"I bought it from the market.”
"Then you're lucky. My grandfather rarely wants to see an antique as persistently as he does now.”
"Miao Miao, how long do you think it will take your grandfather to take out the incense burner?”
"I don't know. It shouldn't be long. That incense burner isn't very big.”
The two of them whispered to each other and unknowingly came together.
Elder Tang saw it and his face darkened. The good impression he had of her just now was gone.
Feeling agitated, he lost control of the strength in his hand, and a crack appeared on the incense burner.
However, it was a lucky hit that the incense burner inside revealed its true appearance.
Elder Tang's face softened. He took it out and looked at it. Tang Miaomiao and Qin Hao also reacted and went up to take a look.
He squinted at Qin Hao and said," You're lucky. This is the Xuande Furnace of the Ming Dynasty. Although it's not an old item from Xuande three years ago, if you want it here, you can bid two million."”
Qin Wu was overjoyed. He suppressed his excitement and nodded."Alright."
At this moment, he was already thinking about what he should do with the two million yuan and where to spend it first.
If he hadn't been mentally prepared, he would have jumped up now. Qin Hao's monthly living expenses were only 1,000 yuan.
As for his upcoming internship, he completely forgot about it. With the appraisal technique, he could start a company anytime he wanted.
The purpose of the internship was also to help them adapt to society better after leaving university.
