A total of four people came in. In addition to Yang Qi, whom they had met before, there were two old men and one young man. The two old men were both over sixty years old. One of them had a beard and looked like a golden lion king. His eyes were as bright as fire.
He felt oppressed, and there was even more arrogance between his eyebrows.
The other person was wearing a linen shirt, Mediterranean style, and glasses. He looked polite and taciturn, and nodded slightly towards Nan Sanqian.
The last person is a young man who looks to be in his mid-twenties. He has soft eyes and handsome appearance, but he is quite handsome. His eyes are deep and there is always an evil smile on the corner of his mouth, which gives people a sinister feeling, like...
Venomous snakes hiding in the dark make people very uncomfortable.
Seeing the person coming, Nan Sanqian raised his eyebrows and said tepidly, "This election is not only related to the new vice president, but also the position of the president. How can I be absent?"
"Hahaha, I didn't expect Mr. Nan to be interested in such a false reputation." Yang Xiong laughed, with a hint of sarcasm in his words.
"I just don't want the Antiques Association to become a profit-making tool." Nan Sanqian replied in a neither humble nor overbearing tone, which made Yang Xiong's face change slightly, but then returned to normal and his eyes fell on Chen Dong.
"This is the person you and Lao Fang recommended?"
As he spoke, Yang Xiong looked at Chen Dong, a look of contempt flashed through his eyes. A young man of twenty years old, with a total of only two or three hundred yuan worth of goods, did not look like a capable person, but he still said
He chuckled and nodded, "Not bad, not bad. You know how to be thrifty at a young age. Mr. Nan still has such a unique vision."
After saying that, Yang Xiong laughed loudly and walked swaggering inside. The others followed him immediately. The feminine young man glanced at Chen Dong with a look of contempt, while Yang Qi looked gloating.
appearance.
"Grandpa, they are too arrogant."
When Yang Xiong and others entered, Nan Jiaxi said angrily, Yang Xiong's words just now were clearly provocative, and he also despised Chen Dong.
"Brother Dong, later you will compete with them fiercely and make them angry to death." Nan Jiaxi said angrily, with her hands on her hips, which made Chen Dong couldn't help but laugh and wanted to reach out and pinch her little face.
"You girl." Nan Sanqian smiled speechlessly, then looked at the direction in which Yang Xiong and others disappeared, showing a thoughtful look, "But I always feel that I have seen that young man somewhere, a little bit
look familiar."
"Okay, let's go in too."
Nan Sanqian didn't think much and walked in with Chen Dong and Nan Jiaxi.
At this time, many people were already sitting in the hall of the Antiques Association. In addition to Yang Xiong and the four people who walked in before, there were seven or eight people sitting together. Each of these people had arrogance on their faces and spread out. No one was there.
If you are not next to anyone, if you occasionally make eye contact, it is also hostile.
These people are all candidates for election, and they are somewhat famous in the antique circle. Even if they are not as good as Nan Sanqian and others, they should not be underestimated.
"Chen Rui, the shopkeeper of Yubaozhai, I met him five years ago when we were competing for the vice president. He seemed to be in third place that time. I'm afraid his strength is not much lower than that of Old Man Fang and I."
"Ma Jianmin, the consultant of Yubaozhai, I remember that he studied under Master Lu from Qingcheng next door. He is very capable and has become famous in the antiques circle as early as ten years ago."
"Jia Pengtian, the talker in the black market, this person is very powerful. Although he is not certified, he definitely has the ability of a master treasure appraiser. I didn't expect that he would also compete this time."
Nan Sanqian began to report the names of these people one by one. It has to be said that these people are already somewhat famous people in the antique circle, and some even have the strength of master treasure appraisers.
"Senior Brother Hu!"
Suddenly, Nan Sanqian was startled. Looking at the last gray-haired old man, his face turned ugly, "He's actually here too."
"Who is he, grandpa?" Seeing Nan Sanqian showing such an expression, Nan Jiaxi suddenly said in surprise.
"Senior Brother Hu Yunhu is the senior brother of the old president and one of the founders of our Antiques Association. When he was competing for the president, he was unlucky and lost to the old president, so he quit the Antiques Association in anger. However,
In terms of strength, I'm afraid we are all a little inferior." Nan Sanqian said with emotion. As soon as these words came out, Chen Dong was quite surprised. One of the founders of the Antiques Association even put Nan Sanqian to shame.
It seems that the competition for vice president this time is not as fierce as usual.
"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's get started."
When Nan Sanqian was in place, Yang Xiong stood up and announced. Then he glanced at everyone, and the information of many candidates appeared on the big screen behind him, and Chen Dong was also among them.
"Jiang Ming?"
When Nan Sanqian looked at the name of the last contestant, it was the young man who was following Yang Xiong before. Reading this name, he became even more confused. He always felt that he had heard this name somewhere, but he couldn't remember it.
.
"This election for vice-president requires a total of three passes. The person with the best performance will be the winner of this election and will also become the vice-president of the Antiques Association." Yang Xiong announced, with a wave of his hand, someone was not far away.
The cloth on a long table was lifted, revealing more than a hundred objects of various sizes.
These objects look old, some are even incomplete, and look extremely old.
"The first level is to select one item from the one hundred and forty-three collections, and the one with the highest value wins." Yang Xiong said, pointing to the objects on the table.
One hundred and forty-three antiques, it must be said that it is quite difficult to select the most valuable one. After all, it would be too time-consuming and laborious to inspect more than one hundred items one by one, so this time we will compete.
A treasure appraiser's vision is very different. If you rely on professional instruments to identify it, you don't know that you will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Moon of the Horse.
"Of course, there is one thing that must be reminded, that is... there are some fakes hidden in these collections. If the fakes are selected, they will be eliminated directly." Yang Xiong added, and everyone's expressions suddenly changed as soon as these words came out.
.
Not only do you have to choose the one with the highest value, but you also have to avoid fakes, otherwise you will be eliminated directly!
Under these dual rules, the difficulty of the game was instantly raised to a higher level.
Without any hesitation, several contestants gathered around the table and began to appreciate it. Chen Dong also walked over, and his eyes instantly opened.
"Three flower bowls from folk kilns in the Qing Dynasty, wolf-hair brushes from the Qing Dynasty, and inkstones from the Ming Dynasty. Unfortunately, they are incomplete..."
Under the eyes of the sky, Chen Dong started to select as if he had made a fool of himself. In just half a minute, he had already browsed through most of the antiques.
Looking at Chen Dong, who was walking leisurely in the courtyard, Yang Qi, who was not far away, suddenly showed a sarcastic smile, "I know this loser doesn't know anything about antiques, and he dares to come and participate in the election. He is simply humiliating himself!"
