Chapter 345 This man is too handsome
Everyone in the audience was stunned when they heard Wang Xingyuan's judgment.
"It's a fake." How is this possible? "
Zhu Chengjin looked in disbelief. He looked at the inkstone and then at the certificate in Chen Hanlin's hand.
"Master Wang, Mr. Chen bought this from the capital auction for two million, and it also has a certificate. How could... it be fake?"
Another old man didn't dare to believe this fact and asked suspiciously.
Although other people were also skeptical, Wang Xingyuan's reputation in the industry made them dare not distrust his judgment.
Luo Xiaoran said: "There may not be fakes at the auction, and the appraisal certificate may not be fake..."
Chen Hanlin's heart suddenly sank, and his old face started to tremble a little uncontrollably.
He came to attend this appreciation meeting today, but he wanted to make a splash.
For this group of collectors, he can only be considered a newcomer.
He has been in this circle for less than three years, but he is very famous in it.
Because he is generous and has the largest collection, every time he attends an appreciation meeting, he can come up with many things that are eye-catching.
Unfortunately, none of the things he has taken out so far are genuine.
Therefore, many people in the circle laughed at him and said that he was not suitable for collecting. Some people even secretly say that others are stupid and have too much money.
For this appreciation meeting, he specially went to the capital and participated in an antique auction.
He specially found a few old friends in the capital and found treasure appraisal experts in the capital. After confirming that the square inkstone was indeed genuine, he spent two million to get it. He was just waiting to show off today and prove that he was not a fool. Lots of money.
Therefore, he was very unconvinced by Pi Yangyang's words, but Wang Xingyuan's words directly threw him into the ice and snow, and his heart felt cold.
"No...impossible..."
He said a little excitedly.
Zhu Chengjin glanced at Wang Xingyuan suspiciously and said, "Master Wang, you didn't deliberately tell the truth as a lie just to protect this young man, right?"
Wang Xingyuan's face darkened, and he said in a cold tone: "Director Zhu, what do you mean? Are you questioning my character?"
Zhu Chengjin glanced at Pi Yangyang and said, "I really don't understand why Master Wang defends him so much. What is the relationship between you two?"
His words immediately aroused the suspicion of many people.
Wang Xingyuan began to introduce Pi Yangyang solemnly, and said that Pi Yangyang's eyesight was better than his, which was indeed incredible.
In the treasure appraising world of Chunan Province, Wang Xingyuan said he was second, but no one dared to say he was first.
Looking at the country, it is also among the top three.
But he strongly praised an unknown young man, which is indeed difficult to understand.
Seeing the suspicious glances around him, Wang Xingyuan's beard trembled angrily.
He handed the inkstone to Chen Hanlin and said angrily: "Since you don't believe what I said, you can just treat it as genuine!"
Chen Hanlin took it and grabbed a magnifying glass to look at it over and over again, but at his level, he couldn't see anything wrong with it.
Pi Yangyang sneered and said: "If you want to know whether it is true or false, just use a piece of bamboo to gently scrape the middle of the bottom."
Chen Hanlin was startled and looked at Wang Xingyuan in surprise.
Although Wang Xingyuan was very angry, he still suppressed his anger, nodded and said: "Yes, you will know with just a few scratches."
Chen Hanlin was already in a state of confusion and wanted to know whether this was true or not.
The people around him were also curious, wanting to see whether Wang Xingyuan was mindlessly defending Pi Yangyang, or whether Pi Yangyang really had such good eyesight.
Wang Xingyuan had bamboo chips specially used for cleaning antiques at home, and he quickly brought one over.
Chen Hanlin's hands were trembling and he didn't dare to take action. He handed it to Zhu Chengjin and said, "Director Zhu, come here."
Zhu Chengjin said hesitantly: "This... is worth more than two million yuan. If something goes wrong, I..."
Chen Hanlin said: "It's okay, just scratch it. If it's a fake, what's the point even if it's intact?"
Zhu Chengjin stared at Pi Yangyang, and then carefully scraped the middle of the bottom of the inkstone with a bamboo blade a few times.
Suddenly, his hand stopped and his eyes widened in disbelief.
Because where the bamboo piece was scratched, a square mark actually appeared!
Everyone was shocked when they saw Zhu Chengjin suddenly stopped and looked strange.
"Director Zhu...what's wrong?"
Chen Hanlin's voice trembled.
"Produced by Yipintang...this..."
Zhu Chengjin's voice was murmuring, and he carefully identified a few small characters in the square mark, and then his face was astonished, and beads of sweat rolled down his temples.
After hearing these words, everyone immediately understood: it is indeed a fake!
As an antique collector, I certainly know that these words should not appear on this inkstone at all.
"Isn't Yipintang... a company that specializes in producing the Four Treasures of the Study? Is this really a fake?"
Some were stunned, some were in disbelief.
Pi Yangyang said calmly: "It cannot be regarded as a fake, it can only be said to be a modern handicraft. The plum blossoms on this inkstone are hand-carved, and the workmanship is quite exquisite..."
"Snapped!"
Before Pi Yangyang could finish his words, Chen Hanlin snatched the inkstone and smashed it to the ground without hesitation.
There was a sudden silence in the room.
Two million, just throw it away?
Chen Hanlin's face was already red, and he wished that there would be a crack in front of him so that he could push Pi Yangyang down.
In the past, I was laughed at for being stupid and having too much money, but it was never as embarrassing as this time.
Pi Yangyang curled his lips and smiled, this old man is quite angry.
"Hey, you're so angry, what's going on...?"
At this moment, a slightly out-of-breath voice came over, breaking the dead silence in the room.
Everyone looked at the door in shock and saw an old man, supported by a young girl, standing at the door.
"Mr. Zhao!"
Zhu Chengjin took one look at him, and immediately shouted in surprise, and rushed forward, nodding and bowing.
All the old people in the room seemed to come alive for a moment, and they all went up to say hello.
Even Wang Xingyuan walked over and said with some excitement: "Mr. Zhao, I heard that you were feeling unwell, so I thought you wouldn't come today..."
"Since I said I would come, I definitely couldn't miss it. It's just that I have been feeling a little uncomfortable these past two days, so I came a little late. Please forgive me..."
The old man who came was Zhao Zhuoran, the father of the first family in the provincial capital, and the girl supporting him was his granddaughter Zhao Ruyu.
Zhuo Zhuoran didn't have the airs of the richest man, and seemed very easy-going.
When he heard everyone calling Mr. Zhao and Miss Zhao, Pi Yangyang's heart moved and he turned his head to look over.
When he saw Zhao Zhuoran for the first time, his eyes condensed subconsciously, and then he shook his head slightly.
This old man, who is suffering from a strange disease, is still so interested in attending the appreciation meeting.
The girl next to him is quite good-looking, with slender eyebrows, a delicate nose, and a little red lips. The key is that she is bulging forward and backward, and her chassis is stable enough. Compared with Zheng Li, she has a good figure for giving birth to a baby.
He never hesitates to look at beautiful girls when he sees them.
While he was scanning Zhao Ruyu's body, Zhao Ruyu's eyes had no intention of looking at him.
The two people's eyes met, and Pi Yangyang did not avoid it, nodded slightly, and smiled slightly.
Zhao Ruyu was stunned for a moment, then two red clouds flew up on his face, and he quickly looked away.
This man is so handsome!
Pi Yangyang was a little surprised, didn't they all say that young ladies from wealthy families are arrogant and domineering? How come Miss Zhao is so shy?
After greetings, Wang Xingyuan said: "Mr. Zhao, what treasure did you bring today?"
Zhao Zhuoran smiled "haha" and said modestly: "I haven't been in this business for a long time, and I am still a layman. It is true that I haven't found anything good yet. However, a few days ago, I accidentally bought a pen holder at a stall. It looks pretty good, but I’m just not sure, so I’d like to ask everyone to give it a try.”
While he was talking, Zhao Ruyu slowly opened his bag and took out a bamboo-carved pen holder.
Pi Yangyang was still staring at Zhao Ruyu, but when she took out the pen holder, his eyes suddenly focused and his expression changed slightly.
