As the name suggests, you take your treasure to a professional for appraisal to estimate its origin and value.
This industry was not prosperous in the past, but over the years, there have been more TV programs about treasure appraisal, and there have been many news about people who can sell a broken porcelain bowl at home for 300,000 or 400,000 yuan on the show. As a result, now
Many people take out the junk at home when they have nothing to do, hoping to pick up the junk like the TV news and become rich overnight.
In the eyes of the cheongsam beauty, Lu Fan must be the kind of loser who uses rags as treasure and wants to try his luck.
"Our treasure appraisal requires an appraisal fee. There is a form over there. You can read it yourself."
The beauty in the cheongsam looked at Lu Fan with some disdain, because they had seen this kind of situation too many times. Many people brought things and said they wanted to come for appraisal, but when they heard that the appraisal still required money, they left in despair.
, I don’t even dare to fart, I’ve tried a lot and it never works.
"No need to look anymore."
"Find your best appraiser, I want the results now."
Lu Fan sat on the mahogany Taishi chair and took out the jade pendant from his pocket.
The beauty in cheongsam was stunned for a moment: "Do you know what the price of my most expensive appraiser is?"
One hundred thousand! Not counting the 10% commission on the appraisal value. This is one of the best appraisers in Jinling, and most people can't afford it.
"have no idea."
Lu Fan said: "But I know that if you keep grinding and you lose business, your boss will not trouble me."
The beauty in the cheongsam hesitated for a moment, then took out a white silk handkerchief from her sleeve, grabbed the jade pendant in Lu Fan's hand, and walked backstage muttering.
There was no tea or snacks, so Lu Fan just sat here, waiting for the identification results.
After waiting for less than two minutes, the beauty in cheongsam came back, but her face no longer had the previous indifference and disdain. Instead, there was a flattering smile, such a flattering smile that the powder was almost squeezed out of her face.
"Quickly, pour tea and snacks for sir!"
The beauty in cheongsam ran around, never forgetting to ask for service.
Soon, the finest Biluochun and Jinling specialty pastries were all brought to the table at Lu Fan's side.
"Has the identification been completed?" Lu Fan asked.
"Not yet. Our master appraiser has other things to look at now, but it will be your turn soon. Please wait a moment."
The beauty in cheongsam stood in front of Lu Fan with her hands lowered and a smile on her face.
"Sir, judging from your accent, you don't sound like you are from Jinling."
Lu Fan nodded: "Yes, I came here for a trip."
"Then you have relatives in Jinling. Do you live with your relatives?" asked the beauty in cheongsam.
"That's right." Lu Fan responded. If the Ma family could be considered his relatives, there would be no problem in saying so.
"Then what kind of work do you do, sir? Judging from your dress and temperament, you must be no ordinary person. Your relatives in Jinling must be doing well, otherwise they would not recognize us, Lao Fangzhai, at a glance.
Come here to identify the treasure." The beauty in cheongsam said with a smile.
"You are a homeless person, and your relatives are not well-known. They just passed by and came in. Do you have anything else to ask?" Lu Fan raised his head and asked.
The beauty in the cheongsam stiffened up and said awkwardly: "It's okay, let's just chat casually. Then you wait, I'll go and hurry you up and finish the appraisal for you as soon as possible."
After the cheongsam beauty left, Lu Fan picked up the tea bowl and sipped the fragrant tea.
A full half hour.
No one came to see him anymore.
After Lu Fan finished drinking a pot of tea, he looked around and asked a waiter who happened to be walking by: "How are my things?"
"Your stuff? What stuff?"
the waiter asked.
"Jade pendant." Lu Fan said: "It has just been handed over to your waiter for almost an hour. It has not been appraised yet, okay?"
"What kind of jade pendant, I haven't seen it before. Just recruit whoever you give it to. Don't ask me, I don't know."
The waiter said disdainfully, turned and walked away.
Lu Fan looked around, but when he found that the cheongsam beauty who had been meeting him before had not appeared in the hall for a long time, he frowned.
He stood up and walked to the counter and asked a familiar counter girl: "Where is the person you were chatting with just now? Where is she now?"
The counter sister glanced at him: "Who is chatting with me? I'm at work. How can I chat with others? Do you have anything to do? You can go out if you have nothing to do. We are at work. What are you wandering around here?"
go out?
Lu Fan was slightly stunned. He looked at the waiters in the hall. It seemed that no one knew him, so they treated him as if he were nothing, and they were all busy with their own business.
