"Old Wu, long time no see. How are you doing lately?" Zhang Wanquan smiled with a smile on his face, and extended his right hand as he greeted.
"Not bad, I estimate I can live another ten or twenty years." The old man named Wu smiled at Zhang Wanquan, and then his eyes subconsciously fell on Su Tie beside him.
The people sitting in the box at this time were all well-known figures in the collecting circles in Jiangnan and Jiangbei. Most of them were in their fifties or even fifty-five years old. Su Tie, a young junior, seemed unusually out of place.
"Old Wu, he is one of my juniors and he is quite accomplished in collecting antiques, so I made a special trip to ask him to come here today. Firstly, he can gain some insights, and secondly, he can provide you with some ideas." Zhang Wanquan also realized at this time.
The old man named Wu was attracted by Su Tie, so he said with a smile.
As he spoke, he introduced to Su Tie: "Xiao Su, this is Mr. Wu Mianwu, a Beidou-level figure in our Chinese collection world. The roster you just saw was compiled by him.
He also asked someone to obtain the partial detailed drawings."
"Mr. Zhang, you are too flattering to Mr. Wu. I am just an ordinary collector, nothing like Taishan Beidou." Wu Mian waved his hands repeatedly.
However, even though he said this, the arrogance in his expression was clearly revealed.
"Wu Lao, you are too humble. Even your disciples have established a sect. They say that you are the Taishan Beidou in the Chinese collecting world. What's the problem?" Wang Zhonghe took over.
"Yes, if you really think about it, even I can be considered a disciple of Mr. Wu. If it weren't for Mr. Wu's guidance in the early years, I might not have been able to embark on the path of collecting." Zhang Wanquan agreed with a smile.
Wu Mian waved his hands repeatedly and said with a smile: "It's just a sentence. I have forgotten it a long time ago. It can't be regarded as any advice."
"You can't say it like that. Although it is just one sentence to you, it is of great benefit to me. The ancients were a teacher of one word, and between you and me, we are a teacher of one word." Zhang Wanquan said with a smile.
"That is, the advice is not too much, but effective. Without your words, Mr. Zhang would not have embarked on the road of collecting. He is indeed a teacher." Wang Zhonghe quickly took over the words.
When Wu Mian heard this, his face had already bloomed with joy.
The two people in front of him, one is a top collector in Jiangnan Province, and the other is a child of a wealthy family in Yanjing, but they are so complimentary to him at this moment, which really makes him very satisfied.
"Mr. Zhang, when I came in just now, I heard our Dr. Su say, what's wrong with the antiques on the bid list? What's going on?" At this moment, Wang Zhonghe suddenly asked.
As soon as he said these words, the proud Wu Mian's face changed slightly, and he frowned and said: "What, is there something wrong with those antiques?"
"No...no, I just asked casually, and Xiao Su didn't say there was a problem." Zhang Wanquan hesitated for a moment, then quickly replied with a smile.
While he was talking to Wu Mian, he turned to wink at Su Tie.
Su Tie couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, a little confused as to what Zhang Wanquan meant, but seeing the other party's appearance, he didn't say much.
"Haha, if you have any problem, just say it directly. Why hide it? It's not terrible if you say something wrong. What's terrible is not saying it. If you don't say it, how can you solve the problem?" Wu Mian still refused to give up.
As he spoke, he turned to look at Su Tie and said coldly: "Young man, tell me what's wrong with these antiques on the roster."
"this……"
"Xiao Su, since Mr. Wu is asking you, just give me a rough idea." Zhang Wanquan waved his hand at Su Tie and said in a deep voice.
Looking at Zhang Wanquan's weird expression, Su Tie didn't understand what the other party wanted to express, but he felt that what Mr. Wu said was reasonable. If the problem is not spoken out, how can the problem be solved?
Thinking of this, he nodded and said in a deep voice: "The problem is actually very simple. I just discovered that there are fakes in this roster."
"What are you talking about? There is a fake. Please tell me which one it is." Wu Mian frowned and asked loudly.
"Actually, no one item is everything. In other words, every item listed above has problems." Su Tie shook his head with a wry smile.
As soon as he said these words, there was silence in the entire box, and then a burst of noise immediately broke out.
"Is this kid crazy? Does he know what he is talking about? The auction items on the list were selected by Mr. Wu himself. He actually said that they are all fakes. Could it be that he is questioning Mr. Wu's eyesight?
?”
"Haha, who is he? Isn't he just lucky? He picked up a piece of Xu Tianqi and really thought he was a figure. Wu Lao has probably played with more antiques than he has ever seen. What right does he have to question Wu Lao?
?”
While everyone was criticizing Su Tie, they were glaring at Su Tie angrily. They looked like they would have taken action if Zhang Wanquan hadn't been sitting nearby.
Seeing this situation, Zhang Wanquan's expression had already become extremely solemn.
He knew that this would be the result, so he had repeatedly reminded Su Tie to be careful when speaking, but Su Tie didn't take it seriously. Now, this situation is really something he doesn't want to see.
Su Tie was also a little confused at this time. He never thought that he would attract such a vicious attack just by telling the truth.
But listening to everyone's discussion, he suddenly understood one thing, why Zhang Wanquan had such an expression just now.
On the other hand, Wang Zhonghe, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but have a proud smile on his lips.
He never expected that with just a little trick, he would turn Cycad into a target of public criticism. It was really an unexpected gain.
The most important thing is that this old Wu is not a good person, but now he is questioned like this by a junior, and he will definitely not give up.
Thinking of this, he almost laughed out loud.
"Wu Lao, Xiao Su is actually a layman, and he only knows a little about antiques. You must not take what he says seriously." After a brief pause, Zhang Wanquan quickly laughed along with him.
He knew very well that this old Mr. Wu seemed to be highly virtuous, but in fact he was narrow-minded and could not tolerate the slightest doubt. Su Tie now actually pointed out that the antiques selected by the other party were all fakes. Even though the other party did not say a word, he must have thought about it in his heart.
How to repay iron iron?
Upon hearing this, Wu Mian just sneered and ignored Zhang Wanquan. Instead, he looked at Su Tie with a half-smile but said in a deep voice: "Young man, you said that the antiques I selected are all fakes. Can you tell me why?"
"Old Wu, how can he have any reason? I suspect that he has been bribed by those Neon people for a long time. The purpose is to sabotage our treasure protection operation." Before Su Tie could say anything, he sat aside, a man with two left hands.
The middle-aged man with a moustache pointed at the cycad and shouted loudly.
"Yes, I also suspect that his motives are impure. Last time we had a gathering at Zhang's hometown, he made trouble, and now he is causing trouble. It's hard to say that he is fine." Another dark-skinned old man also echoed loudly.
Hearing what the two said, Wu Mian sneered. He turned to look at Zhang Wanquan and said calmly: "Mr. Zhang, this treasure protection operation is not trivial. Since this kid has such a problem, shouldn't he be kicked out immediately?
