Jiasheng Antique Market was the largest antique market in Shangbin City, and it was also the deepest antique market.
It was said that Jiasheng Antique Market had been established since the 1970s. It had been existing until today. It had a very solid foundation. Many priceless authentic goods had been excavated from Jiasheng Antique Market. Of course, many people had lost their families here.
Jiasheng Antique Market was different from the usual antique market. There were no stalls here. On the contrary, there were antique shops. The owners were all middle-aged men who were well-dressed and had literary arts on their hands. They seemed to have a lot of money. This actually showed how difficult it was to pick up scraps.
The owners of the antique shops were all veterans who knew the goods. It was not easy to pick up the treasures. Only treasures that even the owners could not identify could be picked up by others. However, there were thousands of tricks played by the owners, making it impossible to guard against.
Putting aside these antique shops, due to the long history and prosperity of Jiasheng Antique Market, an industrial chain similar to a business circle began to form around it.
Outside the entrance of the antique market, there were restaurants, hotels, tea houses, and cafes. It was a wonder.
Xiao Ya's Bentley Mulsanne stopped beside a restaurant outside Jiasheng Antique Market and immediately attracted the attention of many people. When they saw Xiao Ya and Lin Hao getting out of the car, the woman was sexy and the man was handsome. Everyone cast envious gazes.
"The professors are already waiting in the restaurant. They came a step earlier than us, so they might have already gained something in the morning.”Xiao Ya said to Lin Hao with a smile.
The professors of the Treasure Appraisal Team had come to Jiasheng Antique Market to test the waters early in the morning, half a day earlier than Lin Hao. As soon as Lin Hao and Xiao Ya entered the entrance of the restaurant, a row of beautiful waiters in cheongsams immediately welcomed them.
This was a five-star Chinese restaurant. The decorations were all in an antique design, which matched the Jiasheng Antique Market not far away. The private room where the professors waited was designed to look like an ancient dining room. When the windows were opened, they could even have a bird's eye view of the Jiasheng Antique Market.
"Honorable guest, please come in!"
The beautiful waitress led Xiao Ya and Lin Hao to a private room. She pushed the door open and bowed to Lin Hao and Xiao Ya.
Seeing Xiao Ya bring Lin Hao into the private room, the professors all stood up and nodded.
"Is this what everyone got this morning?”
Xiao Ya smiled as she looked at the three items on the table. Lin Hao followed her gaze.
On the table was a small incense burner, a green glazed carved bowl, and a handwritten ancient book.
"These are some small toys we found in the morning.”Professor Jiang Xing from Huangdu University introduced.
"Hmm, looking at the background color and craftsmanship of the green glazed carved bowl, it should be from the Ming Dynasty. This incense burner is also a little interesting.”Xiao Ya nodded.
In the eyes of knowledgeable people, it was very easy to identify the dynasty and history of a cultural relic. Take this green glazed carved bowl as an example. Every dynasty had a unique firing method, so it was naturally easy to identify.
However, the experts could easily identify them. At the same time, there were also people who made imitations who knew this knowledge.
"Lin Hao, what do you think of these things?”Xiao Ya turned her head and asked Lin Hao.
Hearing Lin Hao's words, Professor Jiang Xing looked unhappy.
The fact that these things could be placed on the table proved that they had passed the eyes of the experts. When Xiao Ya asked Lin Hao, it was inevitable that they were not as discerning as Lin Hao.
Lin Hao remained calm and collected. He walked to the table and picked up the green glazed carved bowl. Then, he looked at the incense burner and finally locked his gaze on the handwritten ancient book." How much did everyone spend to buy these things?”
Jiang Xing and the others were more or less proud of their status. They were all famous professors, so they wouldn't give Lin Hao face casually. For a moment, no one spoke.
Xiao Ya frowned and was about to say something when Elder Wang said," Lin Hao, Professor Jiang Xing spent 200,000 yuan to buy this green glazed carved bowl. Professor Xiao Rong bought the purple-gold flower incense burner for 50,000 yuan, and I casually bought this manuscript. It's only a few hundred yuan.”
"The prices in Jiasheng Antique Market are not low!”Although Lin Hao had heard Elder Wang's introduction yesterday, he was a little surprised to hear that a green glazed carved bowl cost 200,000 yuan.
With such a high base price, it was no wonder that someone had picked up the leftovers and lost his family.
"Congratulations, Elder Wang. This ancient book is authentic and its value won't be low.”Lin Hao put down the green glazed bowl in his hand and said to Elder Wang with a smile.
"Mr. Lin, what do you mean? Are my green glazed carved bowl and Professor Xiao's purple gold incense burner fake?”Jiang Xing said with an ugly expression.
Lin Hao only congratulated Elder Wang alone. The meaning behind his words was naturally self-evident.
At this time, Xiao Ya was also silently leaning against the table and watching Lin Hao. Now that Jiang Xing and Lin Hao had a disagreement, it was also a good opportunity to see the level of Lin Hao's appraisal skills. Xiao Ya was curious about how capable Lin Hao was. Could he be better than this expert-level professor?
Under everyone's gaze, Lin Hao's expression remained the same as he said calmly,"The green-glazed carved bowl is of excellent quality. There are no traces of a turning machine at the bottom of the bowl, and there is patina. Generally speaking, such an appearance is most likely authentic.”
Hearing Lin Hao's words, the coldness in Jiang Xing's eyes faded a lot. Jiang Xing could tell that Lin Hao knew what he was doing.
"However, please take a closer look at this wrapped pulp. The color is much lighter than normal. The most important point is the edge of the bottom of the bowl.”As Lin Hao spoke, he turned the green glazed carved bowl over and exposed the bottom of the bowl to the sun.
Everyone got closer to take a closer look. Under the direct sunlight, they could see a faint mark on the bottom of the bowl. It would not be visible under normal light.
"This is…"
Jiang Xing's expression changed. Such traces could only be seen in modern craftsmanship. In other words, this green glazed carved bowl was not an antique at all!
"Am I being scammed?"
Jiang Xing's heart was filled with disbelief. He, Jiang Xing, was a professor at Huangdu University, but he was actually tricked by someone the moment he made a move? Where would he put his face?
Xiao Ya's eyes flashed with brilliance. Lin Hao's ability to appraise treasures amazed her. Lin Hao was able to see through things that an expert professor had misjudged.
"Everyone, please be careful when you go shopping in the future. As far as I know, Professor Jiang Xing is good at identifying bronzes. You have to be careful when you buy this kind of porcelain.”
Xiao Ya stood up and tried to smooth things over.
Lin Hao also nodded. As for the purple-gold incense burner, he didn't need to say anything more. Professor Zhang Kai had already put it away in embarrassment.
Everyone knew very well that Lin Hao's appraisal skills were definitely comparable to those so-called experts and professors. In fact, he was even stronger than them!
