"The bracelet is indeed made of agarwood. It's of good quality and old. If the price is right, it's worth buying it. As for the tea set."
Having said this, he leaned into Li Ruiyang's ear and whispered: "From the official kiln."
Li Ruiyang's expression suddenly changed, and he almost screamed, but finally stopped his impulse.
"Sure?"
"Sure."
Zhou Chen is very confident about the porcelain. The tea set is indeed from the official kiln. Although it is not a particularly high-quality product, it is still valuable in this era.
Li Ruiyang looked excited. Porcelain from the official kiln was very rare, which made him very excited.
At this moment, an old man sitting in front of Zhou Chen and the others turned his head.
"Young man, you also like that tea set?"
The old man's sudden interruption made Li Ruiyang's expression change. He didn't know this old man, but he had just heard someone mention that this old man was an insider, but he was not from Jinling, but from the capital.
He still has great trust in Zhou Chen's treasure appraisal skills. Zhou Chen said that the porcelain is real, so there is a high probability that he is right, so he is determined to win it, and naturally he does not want anyone to compete with him.
Zhou Chen replied politely: "Hello, I just think the tea set looks good. It looks great when I buy it and put it away."
The old man looked at Zhou Chen, smiled, and just said, "Young man has good eyesight," and then turned away.
Zhou Chen knew that the old man was also interested in the porcelain tea set, but it was hard to tell whether it was authentic or not. He was clearly testing him just now.
In the antique business, don't expect to change your sincerity. Even if you are a master or apprentice, you will often keep something secret, let alone a stranger.
What is eyesight and experience? It is not only your own eyesight, but also the ability to see others. Distinguishing authenticity from others by observing others is also a kind of experience.
Li Ruiyang still wanted to speak, but Zhou Chen shook his head at him, then took out his cell phone and gestured.
Li Ruiyang immediately understood what Zhou Chen meant, and took out his mobile phone to edit what he wanted to say.
Eight of the twelve objects are genuine, which can be considered very conscientious in this small auction.
However, Zhou Chen was not very interested. It was not that he was not interested in these antiques, but that he was not interested in the auction.
With so many people here, there must be some capable people who can tell the difference between real and fake. With his current net worth, he can't compete with these people in the auction, so he has no intention of participating in the bidding.
Another point is that these objects are not the kind of good things that make him want to get them at all costs.
But when Li Ruiyang learned that there were so many good things, his eyes lit up, as if he wanted to take them back and collect them.
After everyone took notice, the auction began under the auspices of Xu San.
This was Zhou Chen's first time to participate in an auction in real life. In fact, the process was not complicated, and everyone reported directly.
Zhou Chen watched the whole process. There were no scenes of pretentiousness and slaps in the face, and there were no scenes of bloody fights. The most serious thing was that the two old men exchanged a few strange words at each other. Everyone was basically relatively calm.
peaceful.
This is a professional auction, not an auction suspected of money laundering. The possibility of missing something is too low.
Some people play antiques to get rich, some do it for the cultural history contained in antiques, and some people simply do it because they like it...
But no matter which one it is, I like to pick up leaks. Unfortunately, if I want to pick up leaks now, my hope is too slim.
Li Ruiyang participated in the bidding for each of the genuine items Zhou Chen mentioned, but unfortunately, nothing was obtained in the end.
It wasn't that he had no money, but Zhou Chen stopped him after the price reached a certain level. He didn't want Li Ruiyang to be taken advantage of.
Although Li Ruiyang felt regretful, he still followed Zhou Chen's judgment. When he finally left with Zhou Chen, he asked Zhou Chen to go shopping with him at the antique market tomorrow, maybe he could pick up something missing.
Zhou Chen naturally agreed wholeheartedly. He was also very interested in the antique market. He had never had the opportunity to interact with it in real life before. Now that he has time, money, and skills, he might go shopping in the antique market and he might be lucky enough to pick one up.
Big leak.
Li Ruiyang said hello to his friends and left with Zhou Chen. On this trip today, Zhou Chen just came to make some fun, but he also gained some knowledge in reality, so it was a worthwhile trip.
