The next day.
In the morning, Du Lei woke up.
He received an invitation from the management office of the Antique Market on his phone.
In the morning, Rong City would hold the annual Treasure Appraisal Competition, and Du Lei was one of the experts overseeing it.
Of course, there was a lot of value in this, so the appraisal methods that Du Lei had were naturally insufficient. Furthermore, he had used his Spirit Eyes to appraise the value of a treasure.
This event was somewhat similar to CCTV1's treasure hunt, where ordinary citizens would present their treasures to the guests for appraisal.
To determine the authenticity, historical value, as well as to estimate the price, a few excellent antiques would allow one to enter the second round of the competition. The competition would be divided into three rounds.
In the end, they would choose ten of the best items for auction or award. The organizers of this event were all sponsored by the Qian's jewellery.
All participants, viewers, can free 99 yuan of new material of small purple sandalwood 108, 6 mm exquisite bracelet.
Many young girls began posting on Weibo and WeChat. Very quickly, the entrance of Antique Market was filled with countless hidden experts and spectators.
Of course, most of them were blocked outside because they needed a "membership card" to enter the arena.
Yes, and the membership card's requirement was that they must purchase more than 5000 yuan worth of ornaments in Qian's jewellery.
Other than that, as long as it was a collector who owned a collection, he or she would be able to enter the competition for free as long as he or she paid the fifty yuan cleaning fee.
It was this competition that had attracted countless advertisers to come to the Qian's jewellery to discuss business. For example, Nongfu Mountain Spring sponsored free mineral water.
Even Rong City's local plastic bench production company had come early to sponsor almost two thousand plastic chairs. Today, the entire Antique Market was closed for the entire day, with the center of gravity placed on the Treasure Convention's stadium, which was set up in the middle of the empty space in the middle of the competition grounds. It took up an extremely large area, with twenty meters in length and width, and cameras were set up all around.
The four experts sat in the middle of the Treasure Discourse Arena, respectively being Bronze, Painting, and Porcelain. Naturally, Du Lei was in charge of this area.
At 11 AM sharp in the morning, the Treasure Competition started on time. The first collector on stage was a middle-aged man. The item he brought with him was something like a urinal; it was pitch black.
"Hello experts, the collection I brought today is the inherited black porcelain urinal. It's said that this treasure was used by the Empress Dowager during that time. It's of great historical value."
touched his face and suddenly felt speechless. This kind of treasure trove, could actually be used to participate in the Treasure Competition?
He reckoned that the guy in charge of the primary examination had gone easy on him.
Du Lei was a little speechless, but when the old man carefully placed the black porcelain urinal on the appraisal table, he pretended to say: "Tsk tsk, this urinal can really look good. Look at the bottom, it is undoubtedly made by the royal family."
The young expert in charge of appraising porcelain rubbed his eyes and coughed, signalling for Du Lei to stop with his nonsense. He immediately said, "Uncle, this should be a fake product without a doubt.
"Ah!" That's not right. I've checked it up on Baidu. This thing really isn't a fake. "
The old man immediately looked embarrassed. In the end, he was still very disappointed. After all, the Old Ancestor had treated the urinal like a treasure.
Du Lei reached out his hand to touch the black porcelain urine pot, and discovered that this kind of display had a lot of granules on it. Furthermore, from the outside, it looked more like a vase, and felt that it was not simple, so he opened his Spirit Eye.
At the bottom of the once pitch-black material, it was actually pure gold. Furthermore, there were countless beautiful scrolls depicting it. It was a blossoming Resurrection Lily.
Furthermore, the green gas was extremely dense. It was practically flowing green oil. This item was definitely a national treasure. Something that could emit green gas, how could it possibly be an ordinary work of art?
It was like a dog's head. Even the green gas emitted by that thing was not this much.
"Uncle, I think that you're telling the truth, but its appearance is far too lacking. As for whether or not it's been used by Empress Dowager Ci, there's no way to prove it."
Du Lei laughed: "Look, if you want to sell it for a good price, then please contact our Dominating the World. I might be able to offer you a high price."
Du Lei knew that this level of treasure could not be forced. After he finished speaking, he did not say much, but the uncle was excited to the point that he nodded repeatedly.
Experts expressed "interest" in their heirlooms.
Then of course he would be happy. This was a type of acknowledgement, at least towards his own family, an affirmation that he would keep for over a hundred years.
Soon after, the second Tibetan came on stage. He brought a painting, which, according to his own account, might have been the work of a poet of the Tang Dynasty. In the end, he was promoted to the second round.
The third Tibetan brought a bronze grade weapon.
The fourth collector brought along a snuff bottle. Time flew by quickly. Most of these items were ordinary and were common. The urinal that the first person came up with had never appeared again.
It was only when the 250th Hidden King appeared that all of this changed. What this Hidden Lord brought was a piece of stone, or more accurately speaking, it was a piece of stone that was split in half.
Half of it was top-grade jade, and the other half had been carved into a lifelike dragon. There was money left on the dragon's surface, left behind by a stone sculptor from the Yongzheng era.
"My grandfather said that this stone is at least worth 1 million. If the other half of the stone could also open up jade, then this stone will be multiplied by ten times. The reason why I came here today is to ask the experts to appraise it for me."
Zang family was a young man, and his clothes were luxurious. It was obvious that he was not born into a normal family, and this piece of jade was a collection. Naturally, it would not be opened so easily.
After all, if the jade was a stone, then the value of the jade would drop by at least ten times. After all, not only was the aesthetic feeling destroyed, it was also troublesome to split the jade.
This kind of thing, of course Du Lei was the best at it. However, he had to keep a low profile now, because the other three experts had already taken out all sorts of appraisal tools and were discussing about it.
