"You?" Bai Rumeng glared at him fiercely.
She was about to speak again when she suddenly heard a voice from outside: "How about you compete with me in this second round?"
Before he finished speaking, more than a dozen people were seen walking in outside. One of them was a man in his thirties, with a pale face and a pair of dark circles under his eyes. His steps were sloppy. At first glance, he was the result of excessive sexual indulgence.
His eyes glanced at Bai Rumeng and the female dealer, swallowed, and turned to Ye Zhiqiu.
"Are you Ye Zhiqiu? Since you can appraise antiques, isn't it a pity that our competition does not include appraisal?"
"Rumeng, I make the decision. In the second game, how about competing with him to identify treasures?"
Bai Rumeng nodded and said: "Since Master Tianba said so, let's compete in treasure appraisal!"
"Ye Zhiqiu, this is our Mr. Zhao's nephew Zhao Tianba!"
Zhao Nanxing has no son. This is the son of a distant brother of his, and he treats him as his own child.
Ye Zhiqiu glanced at Zhao Tianba. Is there anyone with such an awesome name now?
The fat man barely held back his laughter.
"Ye Zhiqiu, aren't you very good at appraising treasures? Then I will learn from you!"
Zhao Tianba turned around, glanced at the brothers behind him, and gave instructions in a low voice.
The four men left quickly and returned again a few minutes later, but this time each held an antique in their hands.
The first man held a Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup, the girl behind him held a small and exquisite thangka, the third man held a red jade pendant, and the last woman , holding a scroll in her hand, she slowly unfolded it. The painting was an ancient lady, which turned out to be Tang Bohu's "Li Duanduan Picture".
Ye Zhiqiu turned to look at Zhao Tianba.
Zhao Tianba tilted his head and said proudly.
"Among these four items, one is authentic. As long as you can pick it out, you win!"
Ye Zhiqiu couldn't help laughing in his heart. Isn't this a piece of cake for him?
Suddenly, I heard a burst of applause from behind.
Everyone looked up and saw Zhao Nanxing, surrounded by everyone, slowly walking over with a cigar in his mouth. To his right, followed by a somewhat familiar old man, was the appraiser Kai Zhang.
Zhang Kaidi didn't expect to see Ye Zhiqiu under such circumstances, and was a little surprised. He turned his head slightly, pretending that the two of them had never known each other before.
"Tianba, you're good, you know how to use your brain!" Zhao Nanxing praised his nephew.
Zhao Tianba's eyebrows were full of joy and he stepped forward to greet him.
"This is all due to uncle's good teachings! Whatever uncle asks me to do, I will definitely do it!"
Zhao Nanxing's face was filled with relief.
Given time, this bastard should definitely be able to inherit his own property. You don't have to worry about it. One day, you'll have a fart, and your huge family property will be left to this woman, Bai Rumeng.
"Mr. Ye, I didn't expect you to come to my shop. I, Old Man Zhao, am really honored!"
Zhao Nanxing looked at Ye Zhiqiu with a smile on his face.
Ye Zhiqiu said calmly: "Mr. Zhao, everything is a misunderstanding! If it weren't for my brother, I wouldn't come!"
Zhao Nanxing nodded: "As the saying goes, when people go to higher places, water flows to lower places. With my little brother's ability, if we can cooperate with me, we can make hundreds and thousands of times more profits than we do now. Not only will we become The largest antique dealer in the entire Jianghai City!"
"Even becoming the richest man in Jiangbei Province is not difficult!"
"However, if you are always satisfied with picking up the slack outside, I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve anything!"
Zhao Nanxing took a deep breath of his cigar and said again: "Old man Li has a rich family background, and he doesn't care about these three melons and two dates! I heard that you have a good relationship with Deputy Director Qin of the museum, but Director Qin's abilities are limited, and he also Without a strong background, yes, you can’t help at all!”
"Only by cooperating with this bad old man like me can we win together!"
"How about I give you 30% of the profit first and 40% later?"
Ye Zhiqiu was slightly shocked. He did not expect that Zhao Nanxing was so ambitious and had such a big appetite that he actually wanted to control all the antiques in Jianghai City.
But he didn't have the slightest fondness for this kind of person who was trying to be a gangster and whitewasher, and he didn't want to have anything to do with him.
"Mr. Zhao, you are right! I only open an antique shop, and I occasionally pick up the pieces. I can't make a fortune at all. I just stay hungry!"
"Besides, I don't have that many ambitions. As long as I can barely make ends meet and be happy, I'll be content!"
Zhao Tianba's face darkened slightly.
"My uncle is trying to give you face by talking to you personally, but you still don't know what's going on?"
Zhao Nanxing waved his hand to stop him.
"Everyone has his or her own ambitions, so don't force it! There's no point in forcing it!"
"Ye Zhiqiu, don't you think it's a pity that you have so much talent but nowhere to put it to use?"
Ye Zhiqiu shook his head, "It's not really an ability, it's just good luck!"
"Mr. Zhao, in terms of real ability, I am far inferior to Master Zhang next to you! Miss Bai, you really think highly of me if you want me to join you!"
His open eyes flashed, and his eyes dimmed again.
Zhao Nanxing glanced at him: "Looking at it now, you may not be as good as Lao Zhang! So how old are you now and how old is Lao Zhang?"
"You have unlimited potential!"
Ye Zhiqiu sighed in his heart. He didn't expect that he was so capable that he would cause such trouble.
"Mr. Zhao, let's start the treasure appraisal competition." Ye Zhiqiu came back again.
"After winning, my friend and I left immediately!"
There was a fleeting look of cruelty in Zhao Nanxing's eyes. He was leaning on a cane in his right hand and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"This kind of pediatric question is really a joke! It's okay for little brothers to compete!"
"Of course I'll compete!"
Ye Zhiqiu took a few steps closer to the four antiques. He just intuitively felt that the jade pendant was real and the rest were fake.
At this moment, he quietly ran his clairvoyant eyes, and sure enough, he saw that the jade pendant was emitting red light. The rest of the chicken bowl cups, thangkas and scrolls are all shrouded in a gray mist.
Ye Zhiqiu closed his clairvoyant eyes, pretending to look at the four antiques carefully, and finally stopped in front of the jade pendant.
"This jade pendant, if I'm not wrong, should be a burial object of a minister of the court during the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty. It has certain historical value!"
"As for the rest, there is no need to say more!"
Everyone looked at Ye Zhiqiu in shock.
Zhao Nanxing suddenly spoke slowly: "Old Xu, do you understand now?"
A man in his fifties beside Zhao Tianba, with a dark face and sweating profusely, said hurriedly: "I know, I know! I know, I know! It's true that there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world!"
"You just said that without using advanced instruments and just looking at the appearance, no one can identify which one is genuine and which one is fake?"
