Chapter 139: Treasure Master’s Trouble

I thought Han Qianshou would soon tell me what was going on.

But after waiting for ten minutes, he didn't say a word.

Han Qianshou looked very aggrieved. This is the first time I have seen him like this in all the years I have known him.

I could tell that he seemed to want to talk to me about what happened at that time, but he stopped talking several times because of his face and his unwillingness to mention unhappy things.

Regardless of whether it was the antique world or the antique world, Han Qianshou was well spoken and had some status.

For him to be bullied like this by Gu Donghai, it must not be that simple.

"Brother Han, is there something that's hard to say?"

"No!" He sighed softly, "I was just wondering how to tell you."

I hesitated for a while and continued: "Brother, do you have any concerns?

Han Qianshou let out a long sigh: "Now that things are like this, there's nothing to worry about.

A few months ago, our East District held the annual Spring Treasure Fighting Conference, and all the antique store owners in the East District would bring their treasures to participate in the competition."

Youdu is divided into four districts according to direction: southeast, northwest and northwest. Han Qianshou has an antique shop called Debaotang in the east district. It is said that the business is pretty good.

He continued: "It's said to be a treasure hunt, but it's actually just a formality. Usually everyone knows what someone has, but if someone accidentally receives a treasure, they can't hide it.

There is a rule in the treasure fighting conference. Whoever’s treasure has the highest value will be the ‘treasure owner’ of this session.

The owner of the treasure has a right. Whoever receives a treasure must show it to the owner first.

If you want to sell it, you need to ask for his permission.

If he doesn't agree, this thing can only be kept at home.

If it must be sold for any special reason, the owner of the treasure must be asked to be the middleman.

For all treasure transactions in the East District, regardless of the value of the treasure, the treasure owner will receive a 1% appraisal fee."

This rule Han Qianshou mentioned is not unfamiliar to me.

The position of treasure owner is not something that anyone can take. He must have very strong knowledge of antique treasure appraisal and a good understanding of the antique market to be able to take this position.

The reason why the treasure owner does not agree to sell is that there are some things that once sold will cause chaos in the antique market, and many unexpected things will happen. In order to maintain normal transactions in the antique market, the treasure owner will weigh and consider.

And charging a 1% appraisal fee is not arbitrary. If the item is fake, the treasure owner, as the middleman, must pay for it.

This is where benefits and risks coexist.

It's fine for a small baby, but if it's a big baby, tens of millions, that's a lot of money.

The 10 million item is calculated as ten times the minimum compensation amount of the antique shop, that is 100 million.

All, everyone knows that if you only have a net worth of one or two billion, don't go into this industry. If you enter, you won't even be a younger brother. At most, you will be a piece of hair. You will be beaten to death in a few times, and maybe

I can't get up for the rest of my life.

"Every year at the Bao Bao Tournament, the winners are the same ones, so we agree to take turns to be the banker. If there are rising stars with good moral character, we will also support them.

This year it's my turn.

Whoever's turn it is is the host. Whoever arranges the venue, banquet level, and meeting arrangements is responsible.

Firstly, it proves that you have the strength, and secondly, it also proves that you are willing to do things for everyone.

Everything went smoothly in this meeting. It came to the last step, the treasure comparison.

Everyone took out their own treasures. Normally at this time, even if there are heavyweight treasures, they would not take them out. They would just take out some antiques from the past, as long as they can show their respect."

When he said this, it was also a rule everyone tacitly accepted.

Since everyone has recognized the treasure owner, naturally other people's treasures cannot be more valuable than the treasure owner. Otherwise, where will the treasure owner's face be put, how will he be the treasure owner in the future.

"But that bastard Gu Donghai ruined my good deeds like this!" Han Qianshou said and hit the table hard.

"Brother, don't be angry. Don't be angry. Things have already happened. There is no point in being angry. What's important is to find ways to make up for it."

This Han Qianshou, I don't know whether it is because he is getting older and has become verbose, or he is still very unwilling, and he still hasn't said what happened between him and Gu Donghai.

Seeing as he has suffered so much, I can't urge him to hurry up.

I looked out the window and saw that the sky was turning white. I was so sleepy after a long night's work.

If I don't say something exciting, I will really fall asleep.

Han Qianshou nodded: "That's what I said."

After saying so much, Han Qianshou's expression also relaxed. It is estimated that this big stone has been pressing him for who knows how long.

"During the treasure competition, everyone took out their treasures one after another. As the treasure owner of this session, I was naturally the last one to take out the treasures.

To be honest, brother, I have been planning and working on this position for many years."

I said in a joking tone: "Brother Han, it's for the appraisal fee."

Han Qianshou was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to answer for a while.

"I would venture to guess that once a year, not to mention other expenses, the appraisal fee would be at least tens of millions."

Han Qianshou smiled awkwardly and said nothing.

This is important information in their circle, so naturally they won't tell me, an outsider.

I knew by looking at his expression that it was more than that.

Also, if the transaction price of an item is one hundred million percent, it is one million.

Youdu is an ancient city, and it is normal for antiques to be traded for tens of millions.

Han Qianshou continued: "I didn't want to take it out at first, but for this position, I gritted my teeth and took out the Ming Yongle pulp white glaze pressing hand cup passed down by my family.

Everyone present praised it one after another, saying they hadn’t seen such a treasure in several years.”

A trace of pride flashed across Han Qianshou's face.

"After everyone's appraisal, I am the most valuable treasure, so I will naturally be the treasure holder of this session.

When the last treasure master was about to be announced, Gu Donghai said loudly that he was not qualified to be the treasure master.

I'm just wondering why he said this when I don't have any contact with Gu Donghai.

I even said with a smile: Brother, did I offend you in some way?

He said that I did not offend him, he just wanted to uphold justice and could not let me deceive everyone with fake goods."

"Fake?" I felt a thump in my heart.

Could it be that in order to obtain the position of treasure master, Han Qianshou played a trick and confused the real thing with the fake one?

Judging from his heartbroken expression, it shouldn’t be!

Moreover, he would not dare to lie about such a big matter.

I suddenly lost all sleep and listened carefully to every word Han Qianshou said.

Han Qianshou was very angry: "He said that my things were fake. I was not happy at that time. I was furious. What kind of madman dared to say that my things were fake."

I frowned with a serious expression: "Why did he say your stuff is fake?"

"Humph! He is just talking nonsense, deliberately finding trouble with me, and wants to take away my position as treasure master."
