Chapter 298 - 298 Don't Worry, I'm Very Serious Every Time!
298 Don’t Worry, I’m Very Serious Every Time!
The temperature was gradually rising.
Wang Baiming was afraid that Lu Xiaoya and Zhong Ling’er would be exposed to the sun, so he immediately announced, “The winner of the first round is still to be determined. Now, let’s move on to the second round.”
The second round was porcelain.
“Porcelain is one of the most important categories in the ancient language firm. Many record-breaking auctions were set by porcelain. It’s also because of this that the water in porcelain is very deep, and the forgery technique is even more superb…”
“In addition, with the progress of modern technology and the level of forgery over the years, even many famous appraisers have been wrong in these fields…”
Kong Liancheng introduced the knowledge of porcelain to Zhong Ling’er.
He walked toward the porcelain stall.
Although the results of the first round had not yet been announced.
However, it was clear that his side had an overwhelming advantage.
It was also because of this that Zhong Ling’er trusted Kong Liancheng very much.
“I believe in you, Mr. Kong. You will not let me down.”
Kong Liancheng smiled bitterly. “Miss Zhong, I’m not being humble. The porcelain industry is too deep. I can’t say I’m absolutely sure.”
Zhong Ling’er saw that he was so serious that he didn’t seem to be lying.
She lowered her head and calculated for a moment. Then, she smiled and said, “It’s okay. Even if we lose this round, it’s fine as long as we win the other two rounds.”
Kong Liancheng nodded in agreement.
He then entered the porcelain section and began to pick carefully.
Ye Feng and Lu Xiaoya had also entered the porcelain section.
They looked at the dazzling array of exquisite porcelain.
Lu Xiaoya was a little lost in it. “It’s so beautiful!”
Ye Feng, however, did not indulge in the ‘beauty’ of the porcelain.
Instead, he turned on the system’s deep scan function again.
All the information on the porcelain was displayed before his eyes.
[Yellow Ground Pastel Four Seasons Flower Amphora (modern imitation). Value: 800 yuan]
[Blue and White Flower Pattern Teapot (modern imitation). Value: 2000 yuan]
[Pink Butterfly Jade Pot Spring (Authentic Qing Dynasty). Value: 250,000 yuan]
Ye Feng took a quick look around the porcelain section.
It took less than five minutes.
He had all the information about the porcelain.
All that was left was to screen.
Those modern imitation products naturally had to be eliminated.
And among the real ones, many of them were overpriced, so they had to be eliminated.
In the end, all that was left were the low-priced but high-valued items.
After Ye Feng’s selection process, in the end, there were only five or six items left that were worth buying.
The total cost was about 50,000.
He had already done what he could, so he immediately walked to the shade to enjoy the cool again.
Lu Xiaoya almost broke down when she saw this.
She realized that asking this guy for help was a huge mistake.
Even with Kong Liancheng’s strength, he was still choosing seriously.
But Ye Feng went to rest first.
Lu Xiaoya had no choice but to pick it herself.
Time passed by.
There were only five minutes left before the match.
On Zhong Ling’er’s side, they were carefully selected.
In the end, he chose a pair of rainbow cloud bat bowls.
Kong Liancheng probably didn’t know much about porcelain, so he was very cautious this time.
He didn’t dare to advance as boldly as he did last time.
This pair of rainbow cloud bat bowls only cost about 50,000 yuan.
Zhao Xiaoya went through a round of selection.
She selected a large blue-and-white, pine-bamboo, and plum-fulushou jar.
She immediately wanted to pay.
Ye Feng suddenly appeared behind her. “This is the porcelain you picked?”
Lu Xiaoya was a little angry. “Yeah, what’s wrong?”
Ye Feng glanced at the large can. “Why did you choose this?”
Lu Xiaoya immediately gave a ridiculous explanation. “Because it’s big.”
Ye Feng rolled his eyes. “Iis it valuable just because it is big?”
Lu Xiaoya felt wronged. “I can’t understand it anyway. Why don’t we pick a big one? I think it won’t be too bad.”
Ye Feng was completely speechless. “Put it down. Let me choose.”
Lu Xiaoya put down the big can pitifully. “Then you have to choose carefully this time.”
“Don’t worry, I’m serious every time.”
After Ye Feng finished speaking, he used the same tactic again.
He walked to a stall and said, “I’ll take that copper-plated enamel cloud-dragon pattern bottle.”
Then, he walked to another stall.
“I’ll take that green bean glazed flower plate.”
“I’ll also take that bowl with the blue and white wheel pattern.”
“And that…”
In a short while, six porcelain items were ordered.
This time, the cost was even less than the last time, only about 50,000 yuan.
However, Lu Xiaoya had lost all hope.
This was a battle that concerned her honor.
But Ye Feng was so nonchalant.
Even if he did not think for her, could he not think for himself?
If he lost…
He could choose any antique he wanted in the Antique Street.
It would probably cost at least tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.
Did Ye Feng not care at all?
At that moment, Wang Baiming announced the end of the match.
The selected antiques could not be changed.
Lu Xiaoya had no choice but to pay the bill.
She and Ye Feng brought the six pieces of porcelain to Wang Baiming.
When they saw the two ‘return with a full load’, Zhong Ling’er and Kong Liancheng laughed again.
“Did you guys go to the market? You actually bought so many?”
Zhong Ling’er laughed so hard that tears came out of her eyes.
“Hmph, if you can pick out the real antiques by using such a lucky trick, there would be experts everywhere in the antique world,”
Kong Liancheng couldn’t help but mock.
Lu Xiaoya couldn’t hold her head up when she heard their laughter.
It was too embarrassing.
However, Ye Feng retorted mercilessly, “A frog in a well cannot speak in the sea, a summer insect cannot speak in the ice. I really feel ashamed for your master, to be able to teach such a disciple like you.”
Kong Lianvheng not only heard him scold himself, but also insulted his master.
He was immediately furious.
He immediately wanted to retort.
At this time, a Mercedes-Benz V-Class business car suddenly stopped at the Antique Street.
Then, the car door opened.
An old man in a white Tang suit got out of the car.
Kong Liancheng immediately cried out in surprise, “Master.”
The old man was the master of antiques, Mei Donghai!
