Chapter Sixteen: Windfall

After drinking all the red wine in the tall crystal, Xu Chen walked out of the bathtub with a snow-white bath towel wrapped around his waist.

In front of the mirror, Xu Chen touched his cheek. The lines on his face were hard, not milky white and handsome, but gave people a sense of extraordinary heroic appearance.

The skin is not too white, but the muscles are well-proportioned.

I don't know if it was the influence of traveling through the two realms of light, but he found that his figure was getting better and better.

After being narcissistic for a while, he put on his clothes, then notified the hotel front desk to use the benefits and privileges of his room, including secretarial services.

Ask the secretary to contact the people at Guardian Auction House and tell them that he has a piece of Yuan celadon and wants to put it up for auction and ask them to come and take a look.

Xu Chen Wuming and Hopeless asked him to contact him by himself. Guardian may not pay attention to him, but Guardian would give Puxuan Hotel a bit of a pat on the back.

..

Not long after, there was a knock on the door of the room. He opened it, and there were three people, two men and one woman, standing outside the door.

Cheng Xi was the secretary given to him by the Puxuan Hotel. Even though she was the receptionist, she was also a serious college graduate.

In terms of academic qualifications, Xu Chen is not as good as her!

The three people were invited into the lounge of the house. After Cheng Xi introduced them, they found out that the two people who came were Manager Yu from the Jiade Porcelain Department and Mr. Wang, a specially appointed expert.

Xu Chen didn't waste any time. He took out his backpack from the safe and placed the celadon cup inside on the table.

"It's this cup from the Yuan Dynasty. I wanted to do some small business recently. I didn't have enough money, so I thought I could exchange it for some money."

"This cup looks good. Mr. Xu was an official in his ancestors, right?" Manager Yu said with a smile.

"No, I bought it from someone else."

"I didn't expect that Mr. Xu is also a collector. Didn't you spend less to buy this cup?"

"On the street, I bought it for fifteen," Xu Chen said casually.

He is not an antique dealer, nor is he a collector, nor does he want to be mysterious. He is just here to explore the way.

If it works, get more of it. If it doesn't, give up as soon as possible and find another way.

After listening to Xu Chen's words, Manager Yu stopped asking and turned his attention to Mr. Wang.

At this time, Mr. Wang was concentrating on observing the porcelain cup.

The porcelain cup is not big, is light blue in color, and is about as high as one finger.

"Weird, this cup feels a bit strange," Mr. Wang said directly after looking at it.

"What's the blame?" Manager Yu asked.

Mr. Wang pushed his eyes on the bridge of his nose, pondered for a moment, and said: "Porcelain has been passed down from ancient times to the present, and the craftsmanship of the past generations has its own testimonials.

Like this cup, at first glance, there is a cyan glaze, which is in line with the characteristics of Yuan Dynasty porcelain.

Look at the waves outlined by several lines on the cup, which is also in line with the social and cultural environment of the Yuan Dynasty.

No matter where you look at it, there is no doubt that this cup is authentic, but here's the strange thing.

This cup looks unnatural, as if there is something wrong, but you can't see it."

"This..." Manager Yu understood it more or less, but Mr. Wang was not sure.

"How about we do a test, what do you think?" Manager Yu asked Xu Chen.

"What kind of test?"

"It is to detect the amount of radioactive material accumulated in the porcelain to determine how much time has passed since it came out of the kiln."

"Then let's take the test"

"This test requires taking some samples."

"Take it"

..

I heard that the kiln time was determined based on the accumulation of radioactive material. Xu Chen had basically given up on this path.

really,

When the test results came out, the porcelain had less than two hundred years left in the kiln.

In other words, according to the scientific test report, this porcelain is just a Yuan Dynasty fake from the Qing Dynasty.

but,

"What did you say? You want this piece of porcelain to be auctioned?"

Xu Chen looked at Manager Yu, a little confused as to what he meant.

"That's it." Manager Yu sorted out his thoughts and said: "If this is really a Yuan Dynasty celadon cup, its value is only three to five million yuan, but a Qing Dynasty imitation, the imitation

It is so lifelike that the fake can be mistaken for the real, which shows that there are experts in the Qing Dynasty.

Such a piece of porcelain cannot be produced casually, and even modern people may not be able to produce such a perfect imitation.

so,

Its value is hard to say, I want to keep it and put it up for auction.”

What else can Xu Chen say about this? Just give it a try, he has nothing to lose.

Immediately, he signed an auction contract with Guardian.

The contract includes a series of terms such as commission, management fee, exhibition fee, publicity fee, payment date, entrustment date, etc.

After reading the results and signing the contract, it was already the afternoon of the next day. After that, Xu Chen bought a plane ticket and flew back to Bingcheng.

Stepping into Room 101, Zhang Yuming and Su Qingqing were watching TV on the sofa in the living room. Seeing Xu Chen coming back, Zhang Yuming said, "Where have you been these past two days? No one has been seen. If you don't come back, I will call the police."

"

"Can you find me?" Xu Chen entered the room, put on his slippers, and said, "You two don't know how comfortable you two are without me. You wish I didn't come back, so you can still find me?"

You miss me so much, why don’t you have a single phone call or text message?”

Xu Chen looked at the disheveled appearance of the two of them and wondered how it could be that he came back at the wrong time.

"Those are not important," Zhang Yuming stood up and said with a smile: "Qingqing and I have officially joined Qihang Paper Company. I will order a few dishes tonight and let's celebrate."

"This is worth celebrating. In this case, it's up to me. I'll make the arrangements. We won't go out. We'll just order a few high-end ones, have some beer, and liven things up in the house."

The three of them have been college classmates for four years, and now they have found jobs. Xu Chen is really happy for them.

And with his current worth of tens of millions, he naturally doesn't care about the cost of these two meals.

"That's so embarrassing," Zhang Yuming said politely.

"You two, stop doing some evil and let me sleep well for two nights. This is the greatest reward for me."

Zhang Yuming smiled obscenely after hearing this, but Su Qingqing said: "Since we want to be lively, why not ask Yuanyuan to come with us, otherwise no one will accompany you two when you drink."
