He Yulin briefly told the president on the other end of the phone what happened, and then put away the phone.
Almost at the same time, Chen Sanping's cell phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID, looking horrified and shaky, as if what he was holding was not a cell phone, but a time bomb that could be detonated at any time.
In the end, he had no choice but to press the connect button.
"Hey... President Li... what... what? President Li, please listen to my explanation. I was just confused for a moment. Please forgive me this time. I will never dare to do it again in the future..."
However, the other end of the phone did not listen to his explanation at all and simply hung up the phone.
Chen Sanping was dumbfounded. His face had no trace of the previous proud and complacent expression, only a look of despair remained.
"Boss Chen was actually fired?"
Someone close to Chen Sanping accidentally overheard the conversation between him and Chairman Li, and shouted in disbelief.
"What? It's impossible..."
"Boss Chen is the vice president of the association. The only person who can remove him is Chairman Li!"
"Even if He Yulin is an expert, he doesn't have such great power, right?"
Some curious people took out their mobile phones to search for He Yulin's name, and were shocked when they saw the information in the search engine.
"It turns out that he is President Li's mentor, no wonder..."
"How powerful is his power? Chen Sanping insisted without any evidence that the porcelain in Mu Qiunian's hands were all fakes. Isn't this just spreading rumors and slandering?"
Someone finally realized that the reason why He Yulin was able to kick Chen Sanping out of the Antiques Association with just one phone call was not because of his great power or his close relationship with the current president, but because Chen Sanping violated the rules first.
It has seriously disrupted the order of the industry.
"I just said that Boss Mu is usually an honest person and doesn't look like someone who resells counterfeit goods."
"I also think Boss Mu was wronged..."
After Chen Sanping was dismissed, the direction of the store immediately showed a one-sided trend. Those who had helped Chen Sanping mock Mu Qiunian now began to fight for Mu Qiunian.
Of course, there are also some people who are concerned about this clay pot from the Western Zhou Dynasty, which was personally identified by He Yulin.
"He Lao, is this clay pot really from the Western Zhou Dynasty? Can you deduce the specific age?"
"Mr. He, if this clay pot is to be put up for auction, what is the starting price?"
…
Facing the questions from the crowd, He Yulin pondered for a moment and then said: "Specific eras require professional identification instruments. I heard that this gentleman is from China. You China has very advanced and professional identification institutions. You
You can send this pottery pot for appraisal. Of course, I can also issue you an appraisal certificate issued by the Cultural Relics Association of Country Y."
"Then I'm sorry to bother Mr. He." Xu Tian nodded and thanked.
Compared to his good mood, the expressions on the faces of Chen Sanping and Li Wancai next to him were extremely ugly.
Especially Li Wanchai, he gritted his teeth and looked at Chen Sanping: "Boss Chen, if I hadn't bought your set of Song Dynasty blue and white porcelain, this Western Zhou Dynasty clay pot would have been mine!"
He now regrets that his intestines are green. He only spent a few million to buy a clay pot from the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the profit was more than tripled.
Chen Sanping also didn't expect that among Mu Qiunian's pile of inconspicuous porcelain, there would be a rare and unique treasure.
He has now been dismissed from his position as vice president, and because the set of Song Dynasty porcelain was identified as an antique work by Qing Dynasty craftsmen, both his status and reputation have plummeted.
Damn it, this batch of porcelain should have been his. If Xu Tian hadn't stepped in and bought them all, the rare Western Zhou pottery should now be his!
Both Chen Sanping and Li Wancai felt that if Xu Tian was not there, this peerless treasure should belong to them. At this time, they wanted to snatch the pottery pot from Xu Tian's hands.
However, in this public place, no matter how strong their shady thoughts are, they cannot achieve their wish.
Not to mention that there were so many people watching around, even if Xu Tian was just a male favorite of the head of the Tang family, they didn't have the guts to steal something from him.
Xu Tian ignored the earth-colored Li Wancai and Chen Sanping, but looked at Jiang Yan and the mobile phone next to him.
At this time, whether it was Jiang Yan or the senior officials of the Tang family in the video call on their mobile phones, their expressions were even uglier than those of Li Wancai and others. Those who didn't know thought that what the Tang family bought this time was not a rare Western Zhou clay pot.
But that set of worthless imitation Song Dynasty porcelain.
Xu Tian took the pottery pot from Mu Qiunian, who had still not recovered from his excitement, walked to the phone and showed it to Tang Jihuai and others.
"Have you seen clearly? This is a clay pot with cloud and thunder patterns from the Western Zhou Dynasty. It has also been appraised by experts from country y. It should be qualified to be the treasure of Jiangcheng Museum, right?"
Jiang Yan looked at the experts around him with a sullen face: "Go over and check it carefully for me to see if there is anything wrong with this clay pot!"
The experts swarmed up and carefully inspected the clay pot in Xu Tian's hand in front of the senior Tang family officials and Jiang Yan in the video.
In the end, they could only nod helplessly.
"Manager Jiang, there's really nothing wrong with this clay pot..."
"Based on my experience, the chance of it being genuine is at least 90%."
In the antique world, the 90% probability is almost equivalent to acknowledging the authenticity of this antique. After all, no one can make a final conclusion before it has been tested by a machine.
"Mr. Xu said before that he has a affinity with Boss Mu's batch of porcelain. Could it be that he has some kind of sixth sense that can detect antiques?"
At this moment, these experts from the Tang Group no longer looked at Xu Tian with the disdain they had before, but with a bit more envy.
The first time they bought antiques, they bought a clay pot from the Western Zhou Dynasty. Even if it was just a coincidence, they could never ask for such luck.
Compared with these excited experts, the senior officials of the Tang family, represented by Tang Jihuai, looked embarrassed, especially Tang Jihuai, who gritted his teeth and glared at Xu Tian, quite angrily.
Who would have thought that Xu Tian, who knew nothing about antiques, would actually encounter such a precious antique. Even experts in the antique industry cannot guarantee that he will encounter such a rare treasure in his life. This is simply better than the probability of winning the lottery.
Still low.
"Everyone, according to our previous bet, should you apologize to me and admit that you are incompetent and short-sighted?"
"You..." Du Zhongyan wanted to deny it, but when he opened his mouth, he found that he couldn't even find a reason to bother.
The experts sent by their Tang family and the appraisers from Country Y all judged that this antique was an extremely precious Western Zhou pottery, and there was no way Xu Tian could fake it.
