Hearing this introduction, especially the description about Chen Yu, the various appraisers were greatly astonished, and even suspected that they had misheard.
On the antique street, only elderly people were qualified to identify antiques. This was because antiques were an esoteric and profound knowledge. Even if a person spent their entire life, they wouldn't dare to say that they understood everything.
Therefore, the older the appraiser, the more popular he would be and he would be sought after by everyone.
This was also the reason why he was one of the most famous experts in the antique industry. They were all elderly people.
Of course, there were also some people who were naturally intelligent and knew how to pick the wrong person and quickly grasped the knowledge to become an expert.
However, this type of person was very rare, not even one out of ten million would appear.
Besides, no matter how smart these kind of people were, it would still take them ten years or more to master the knowledge of appraising treasures.
Chen Yu seemed to only be in his early twenties, how powerful could he be?
Or could it be that a certain wealthy youth had asked Guo Tianxiong to bring him out to experience the world?
A string of doubts surfaced in the hearts of these experts, but no one expressed any thoughts.
To put it bluntly, Chen Yu's background had nothing to do with them.
Guo Tianxiong knew the personality of this group of experts. He also understood that they despised Chen Yu, but he did not explain any further.
Sometimes, facts speak louder than words, and there is no need to explain.
As a result, they looked at each other and greeted each other.
Soon after, a group of people were led to a small side hall by a butler wearing a black uniform.
Even though it was a small side hall, it wasn't small either. It was more than 100 square meters. However, it was crowded when compared to this huge villa.
Before Chen Yu and the others arrived, there were already more than 30 people here. Most of them were old people, but the minority were middle-aged people and young people.
At this time, an old man who looked like an obese man stood in front of everyone and laughed, "Thank you everyone for coming to participate in my Treasure Convention. Today, we will identify a special collection of antiques. At the same time, if any of you have taken a fancy to one of these antiques, you can buy it at a low price in advance. Of course, each person was limited to one item, and the person who first asked for the price got the antique. "This way, we won't have to compete for antiques."
The crowd didn't feel surprised at all. On the contrary, they nodded in agreement.
In fact, this was nothing new. It was a special rule within the industry.
After all, everyone present was a renowned appraiser in the country. It was impossible for them to spend their time here to identify antiques, unless they were looking for some benefits.
Moreover, their main goal was to obtain priceless antiques.
If they were lucky, they would be able to identify a valuable antique. They could ask for the price first hand and successfully obtain a valuable antique to earn some money.
This was the first time that Chen Yu had heard of this rule, and he was bafflingly surprised. If it really was like this, wouldn't it be letting him off easy?
He possessed the eyes of a fool, so he easily found out what the most valuable antique in the arena was.
However, this was Chen Yu's case. Not everyone possessed an eye for folly.
After announcing the rules, the old man clapped his hands. Following the clapping, a few men in uniform pushed a cart into the side hall.
The cart was filled with all kinds of strange objects. These items were covered with mud, which must have been the newly-unearthed antiques.
Sure enough, the old man answered everyone's questions: "This is a newly unearthed mysterious antique. Due to all sorts of special intentions, I personally am unable to spend time identifying these treasures, so I have invited my friends here to help. Now, everyone can inspect the treasure. "
After pausing for a moment, the old man warned, "Everyone, don't forget to check the treasures first before making the appropriate records. If I find out that the information doesn't match the information on the antiques, I won't admit it. "
The meaning behind his words was that not only would he embarrass himself, he would also avoid gaining any benefits from Ye Zichen's body.
Of course, this was just a formality. It wasn't aimed at a certain person, nor was it belittling everyone's ability to appraise treasures.
However, the speaker had no intention, but the listener had.
Just as the aged old man finished speaking, a discordant voice rang out, "Old He, I feel that some people aren't skilled enough, so I suggest we drive them away."
This voice was loud and powerful, but it was filled with deep resentment.
The crowd looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young man and an old man standing side by side.
The voice came from the young man.
These two people were none other than Fang Hao and his master.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Fang Hao became even more excited and said loudly: "I personally do not think that Guo Tianxiong is qualified to participate in this Treasure Convention."
The crowd went into an uproar when they heard this, but they didn't feel surprised at all.
It was because there was a feud between Fang Hao and his disciple and Guo Tianxiong. Both sides disliked each other, and had even held a wager the year before.
In the end, it was Guo Tianxiong who lost, and everyone criticized him.
Before Guo Tianxiong could even speak, Guo Jingjing had already lost control of herself and scolded: "Fang Hao, do you have any more face? My master doesn't have one, do you? "
"Ha ha!"
Fang Hao laughed heartily, and then said with a playful look, "The reason why I made this request was because your master was not qualified, and I am qualified!"
With that, Fang Hao said neither fast nor slow, "I believe everyone has heard about the bet between me and Guo Tianxiong. That time, Guo Tianxiong was not as skilled as I was, and lost to me. Originally, I didn't intend to bring it up again, but since Guo Tianxiong couldn't even beat a novice like me, what right did he have to participate in this Treasure Convention? Of course, I'm not thinking for myself, but for everyone. Thinking about it, everyone here is a renowned appraiser in the country, and we all have great authority and ability! However, how could a good-for-nothing like Guo Tianxiong stand on the same stage as everyone else? "That's why I want Guo Tianxiong and his men to be expelled!"
It had to be said, Fang Hao had played a good hand. First, he belittled Guo Tianxiong, and then he raised the level of the experts present.
As such, the experts naturally felt a sense of recognition, and doubted Guo Tianxiong's ability.
Of course, the people who participated in the Treasure Convention were all very familiar with each other, and more or less knew about the inner workings of the bet. A few experts who had a deep friendship with Guo Tianxiong stood forward and said, "That's not right, a competition doesn't prove anything. "Besides, Old Guo's ability is strong, and he's qualified to participate in this Treasure Convention."
"Yeah, Old Guo has the right!"
"If a person misses, then the horse will lose its balance. A single battle really doesn't prove anything."
There were also some who came out to support Guo Tianxiong.
However, there were objections, and there were also pros and cons.
Some of them obviously leaned towards Fang Hao and his disciple, ridiculing them unabashedly, "Actually, I have heard about Old Guo's recent drastic decline in strength. Not to mention that during a charity party some time ago, Old Guo had been invited to identify a phoenix image of Tang Bohu and had decided to treat it as a fake, which had almost turned the buyer into an idiot. This level is indeed not suitable for us to continue identifying antiques. "
