Both sides will come up with their own questions, and whichever side is drawn will definitely be in their favor. At least they can know the general rules in advance. Of course, at the final competition site, both parties will complete the preliminary project work at the same time.
So it’s hard to say how much of an advantage it will have.
The lottery continues, and the high-definition camera lens can see everything clearly. The fourth ball was pulled out, and a piece of paper was taken out. The host glanced at it and pointed at the camera and said loudly: "The fourth question is also a test question issued by the Bay Island Museum, called 'Bronze Years'.
It was another question from the Bay Island Museum, and the expressions of everyone in the conference room changed slightly.
The fifth question was taken out from the ball. The host smiled and said: "It seems that the test questions from the Bay Island Museum are quite popular. The fifth question will be announced below. It is still a question from the Bay Island Museum. It is called ' Jade can be seen in the stone'.
"Why did you win their exam question again?"
"Only five questions were drawn, which is normal in terms of probability. The number is 50 to 50."
"There are still five opportunities. Besides, we don't have to worry. After all, both parties collaborated at the same time when setting up the examination room. When the time comes, we can make their examination questions more difficult. It's really not certain who will win in the end."
"That's right. If the worst happens, we will make it more difficult."
Others were talking quietly, but Li Mo didn't feel much pressure.
"The following is the sixth test question." The host glanced at it first, and then pointed it at the camera so that everyone could see clearly, "The sixth test question is from the Bay Island Museum, and it's called 'Ming and Qing Dynasties.' "
An incomprehensible name, Li Mo was confused and didn't understand what the point of this test question was.
The draw did not stop. The host opened the seventh ball and said with a smile: "I thought the seventh question was still a question from the Bay Island Museum, but I guessed wrong. The first question is a question from the Gu Yunxuan Museum. ”
Seven questions have been drawn, but Gu Yunxuan Museum has only drawn two questions.
"The following is the eighth question." The host held the note and couldn't see the change in his expression. "The eighth question is from the Bay Island Museum. It's called 'Wealth can rival the country'."
"The ninth question is still an exam question issued by the museum, called 'Jiangshan is Picturesque'."
"The name is a bit poetic, but I don't understand what their question is about."
Li Mo thought to himself that he was confident in this competition, but he would never underestimate his opponent.
"The last question has been drawn out. Let's wait and see whether this question is from the Bay Island Museum or the Gu Yunxuan Museum."
The host took the fourth ball and took out the note from it.
"Okay, this time the Bay Island Museum seems to have hit the jackpot. They are lucky. The tenth question is still theirs. The name of the question is 'The Final Battle'. All ten questions have been drawn, and the Bay Island Museum has won eight questions. , Gu Yunxuan Museum only has two questions, and in the next week, both parties will work together to arrange the competition items one by one."
"As for the hundred national treasures agreed upon by both parties, all arrangements will be made within the next week and placed at the competition site. The one who wins between the two contestants will take away two hundred national treasures."
Li Mo leaned back in his chair. The drawing of lots has been completed, and the next step is to fight with all his strength. He didn't pay much attention to who set the exam questions. He was just looking forward to seeing if the Bay Island side could also come up with 100 national treasures of equal value after his list of 100 national treasures was announced, and whether the promoters behind it would also help. ?
"Li Mo, the lottery has ended. Next, our working group and the working group on the Bay Island will conduct joint work. You should have a good rest these days and recharge your batteries. When the time comes, you can show your strength to that Sima Haotian. Look."
As soon as Zhu Changping finished speaking, Qin Yali also said: "Your identity has not been announced yet, but judging from the other party's attitude, it seems that it doesn't matter who plays. No matter what, this battle must not be taken lightly."
Others in the conference room also expressed encouragement.
Naturally, Li Mo repeatedly promised that he would go all out.
When I returned to my grandpa's courtyard, only the nanny was at home. The others had gone out for business and hadn't come back yet.
"Mr. Li, what do you want to eat for lunch? Can I go to the kitchen to make it?"
"Just get some noodles for one bite."
After lunch, grandpa and the others still hadn't come back, and Li Mo didn't call them, so he drove back to Beijing University. He originally had elective courses in the afternoon, but now that the school considers that he needs to prepare for the competition at full strength, the courses have been moved to next week.
The news of Gu Yunxuan Museum's participation in the competition has been spreading for a long time. Everyone is guessing who will participate in the competition? After all, there is a man in the Bay Island Museum who claims to be the best treasure appraiser in a century. The most important thing is that he has been famous for 20 years and has deep relationships with the heads of many famous families. He also has a certain reputation in the international antique world. Reputation and status.
That's a tough nut to crack.
So countless people are guessing who Gu Yunxuan Museum will send to fight?
But so far, the players involved have been a mystery.
Li Mo was lying on a leisure chair in the apartment dormitory, quietly basking in the sun.
Tuk-tuk-tuk—
There's a knock on the door.
"The door is not closed, come in."
The aunt from the dormitory management station came in. She held a few boxes in her hand, walked in with a smile and said: "Classmate Li Mo, no, no, I should call you Teacher Li. Someone has brought you delicious food. The other party is a very beautiful and lovely girl, and it’s not convenient to let her in, so I brought it over for you.”
Li Mo stood up and said with a smile: "Sister Wang, you should call me Li Mo, it sounds friendly. Sit here and I will get you a bottle of coconut milk drink."
"No need to bother, I'll go down as soon as the things are delivered to me."
"Sister Wang, didn't you ask who sent this?"
"A girl named Xu seems to have been sent to me once before. Is she your girlfriend?"
A petite figure appeared in Li Mo's mind. He opened the box and found spiced pig head meat inside. He smelled it and knew who it was.
"Sister Wang, I haven't lived in this single dormitory for a long time. I haven't bothered you to help clean it often. I'm very grateful. You see there are several boxes of these coconut drinks. When I go downstairs, I will bring one for each of you. box."
"Don't be so polite. I'll leave first. If you're sleepy, take a good rest first."
After the aunt at the dormitory station left, Li Mo closed the door and sat on the leisure chair again. The sun shone through the glass, which made him feel very comfortable in this cold season, and he took a nap lazily.
Why did the eldest lady from the palace suddenly think of bringing braised vegetables to herself? Li Mo thought for a moment and took out his cell phone to dial Xu Jiaguo's number.
"Hahaha, I'm thinking you should give me a call too."
"Uncle Xu, what do you want from me?"
"What else can I do for you besides inviting you to dinner? How about it? Are you free tonight?"
"Originally I'm not free, but it's rare for Uncle Xu to treat me to dinner, so I have to spare this time. Send me your address, and I'll take your daughter with me after class."
"That's just right. It saves me having to drive to pick her up. I'll send you the address later."
At around five o'clock in the afternoon, Li Mo, who was wearing a casual sweater jacket, waited at the gate of Beijing Gate for more than ten minutes when he saw an oxygen beauty trotting over with a bag on her back.
"Sorry, I was dragged into talking about something after class, which delayed me for more than ten minutes."
The person who came was none other than Xu Pingjun, the eldest daughter of the Palace Chronicles. Although the two of them were from the same school, if you think about it, they had only interacted with each other a handful of times and had almost no interaction with each other.
"I've just arrived in two minutes. Let's go. My car is parked on the commercial street opposite." Li Mo walked towards the commercial street with her, "Are you nervous about your studies recently? I heard that you will start taking professional courses when you are a sophomore. There is much less free time than freshman year.”
"You haven't taken professional courses yet?" After Xu Pingjun said this, he remembered his special status and smiled softly, "I have forgotten that you are already Teacher Li."
The two of them got into the Rolls-Royce. Xu Pingjun looked at the decoration inside and asked curiously: "I heard from my dad that your car is a custom-made bulletproof luxury car. Isn't it valuable?"
"The price itself is quite high, but I bought it from an auction, so it's much cheaper." Li Mo started the car and drove towards his destination, "Thank you for sending delicious food this afternoon. I originally planned to buy a can in the evening. Beer, and eating Gong Gong Ji braised vegetables, but Uncle Xu invited me to have dinner with him, so those braised vegetables had to be postponed for a day."
"As long as you like to eat."
"By the way, how is the palace business in Kyoto? I haven't contacted Uncle Xu for a long time. I don't know how your development is in Kyoto?"
Xu Pingjun smiled, showing eight teeth.
"My dad said that as long as you think it tastes good, it will definitely sell well. At present, we have cooperated with the restaurants you invested in, and all the braised vegetables and cold dishes are supplied by our Gong Ging Ji."
"That's good. Join forces and the strong will be stronger. This is the way to survive."
Xu Pingjun turned his head and glanced at Li Mo's profile. He hesitated before whispering: "My dad invited you to dinner today, and there is another thing I want to trouble you with. He knows a friend here in Kyoto, and that friend has some Collection, so he wants to buy one or two. His friend also agreed, and my dad probably wants to ask you to help identify them."
"This is a small thing that I can do. It's not a bad thing for Uncle Xu to want to collect. After all, antiques not only maintain their value, but also continue to appreciate. As long as he is extremely careful and has a lot of spare money in his hands, investing in antiques is also a good idea."
"Hey, you also know that he is not the one who collects. The porcelain he bought at home are all fakes. If you hadn't reminded him once before, the loss would have been even greater."
It is true that not everyone can do this collection, even if you have money. You think you are smart and will not be deceived, but you don’t know that others are ten times smarter than you, and they will make you fall into the trap without knowing it, and in the end you will be willing to do it. Pay money.
The car started and stopped, and it took more than forty minutes to arrive. It was a three-story restaurant. The two of them walked into the lobby one after another. Seeing that he had made an appointment, the welcoming woman was busy leading the way to the most upscale private room on the third floor.
Li Mo pushed the door open and walked into the box, and saw Xu Jiaguo chatting with a tall and thin man in his forties or fifties. The two of them were puffing away, looking extremely comfortable.
"Uncle Xu, long time no see."
"The good son-in-law is here, sit here quickly." Xu Jiaguo laughed and pulled him to sit next to him.
"Dad, why are you talking?"
Xu Pingjun felt very embarrassed when he heard him shouting so naturally.
Xu Jiaguo pretended not to hear, and then introduced another person to Li Mo: "This is my friend, a well-known local collector named Wei Chengdong."
"Hello Mr. Wei, my name is Li Mo."
"Hello." Seeing that Li Mo was only about twenty years old, Wei Chengdong regarded him as a relative of Xu Jiaguo, so his attitude was much more casual.
"Mr. Wei, this is my daughter. She is a sophomore at Peking University. And don't look at Li Mo's youth. He is a serious lecturer at Peking University. He has both talent and virtue. He is absolutely unrivaled among the younger generation. enemy."
Only then did Wei Chengdong take it seriously. Being able to become a lecturer at Beijing University already showed that this person was of high standard.
"The pair you brought can be put on display. I'll ask Li Mo to help appraise them. If there are no problems, how about we make the deal at the price you said?"
Only then did Wei Chengdong smile brightly and hurriedly bent over to place the two large square boxes at his feet on the table.
"Mr. Xu, the two tomb figurines you are interested in have always been my favorites. If you didn't like them very much, I would never transfer them to you."
He opened the two square boxes one by one, which contained two gray figurines.
Xu Jiaguo carefully moved the two figurines in front of Li Mo, hoping that he could see them clearly.
"Dad, can't you eat first and then do the appraisal after eating?" Xu Pingjun said angrily. He really called Li Mo to help with the appraisal for free.
"Don't disturb Li Mo's thinking." Xu Jiaguo glared at his daughter and signaled her to calm down for the time being.
Li Mo looked at it carefully and said: "Judging from the shape, they are tomb-suppressing military commanders, that is, tomb-suppressing figurines. Tomb-suppressing figurines have been around since the Han Dynasty, the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, but basically disappeared after the Qing Dynasty. .”
"These two tomb figurines are from the Tang Dynasty. They are made of an alloy of silver and tin, and then a layer of gold is engraved on the surface. But we did not have these things in the history of the Tang Dynasty. These are some of the current techniques. We will make the mold based on the tri-colored glazed pottery from the Tang Dynasty, and then use tin and silver to make two things based on that model. To put it more bluntly, these two tomb-suppressing figurines are modern handicrafts and have no value at all."
After Li Mo finished the appraisal, he gently pushed the two square boxes in front of Boss Wei. Since they are modern handicrafts, it means that the two tomb-suppressing figurines have no value.
"Mr. Xu, you are not honest in what you do. You actually asked a young man to do the appraisal. And you just said that there is something wrong with the tomb figurines that I have treasured for a long time. You don't have to eat this meal, but you can't talk nonsense."
Xu Jiaguo saw that Wei Chengdong's face was extremely ugly, so he smiled and said: "Mr. Wei, don't worry, I'll ask you carefully."
He turned to look at Li Mo who looked calm and said, "Li Mo, please tell me the truth."
"If it were me, I definitely wouldn't buy it."
