Soon they arrived at the location designated by Chairman Qi, and Chen Feng got out of the car and made a phone call to Chairman Qi.
"President Qi, I've arrived. Where am I supposed to find you?" Chen Feng asked.
"Just come upstairs and tell them I sent you. Come to my office on the third floor," Chairman Qi replied.
"Okay, okay."
Chen Feng got into the car, carrying a black plastic bag containing the goods; the small diamond-shaped piece was in his pocket.
There were security guards at the entrance of the venue, but as soon as Chairman Qi was mentioned, the guards let him through and notified other guards via walkie-talkie.
Within a minute, another security guard came and led Chen Feng to Chairman Qi, saving him from getting lost.
On the third floor, Chairman Qi was dressed in a Tang suit and looked quite casual. Beside him was an elderly man in his fifties or sixties.
"That kid's here?" The old man leaned back in his chair, sipping his tea.
"Yes, you'll have to take a good look later. I don't know much about minerals, but I can't see anything wrong with the photos." Chairman Qi nodded.
"Hmph, these days photos can be faked. He must have forged it. I've been in the industry for over thirty years and have seen countless minerals. I've never seen such a perfectly formed natural mineral. It's complete nonsense."
"Probably just some con artist who came here hoping to get rich quick," the old man said with the confidence of someone who had been in the business for decades, his eyes full of disdain.
"Who knows? Let's wait and see," Chairman Qi said calmly.
Soon there was a knock on the door, and Chairman Qi called out, "Come in."
The security guard escorted Chen Feng inside and then closed the door himself.
"Hello, I'm the one who called. The goods have arrived." Chen Feng didn't know which one was the chairman, but he didn't rush into anything and simply lifted the plastic bag in his hand.
"Hello, I am Chairman Qi. I didn't expect you to be so young. Please come and sit down." Chairman Qi stood up and smiled at Chen Feng.
The old man kept looking Chen Feng up and down without making a move.
"Why."
Chen Feng walked over and sat down. Although the old man didn't speak, he still gave him a polite smile.
"This is the big piece of gold, take a look," Chen Feng said, taking the gold out of the bag and placing it on the table.
When the gold appeared, Chairman Qi couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, and the old man also looked slightly surprised.
Such a large piece of gold is indeed very rare.
President Qi touched it and examined it carefully, while the old man hugged it to test its weight, then took out a magnifying glass and carefully looked at it along the edges.
Seeing this, Chen Feng didn't say anything, but he understood what the old man did.
After watching for a while, the old man nodded.
“In my opinion, it should indeed be natural. Such a large gold nugget is truly rare. Let’s test it again with a testing machine. If there are no problems, let’s keep it,” he said to Chairman Qi.
This kind of thing not only needs to be identified manually, but also needs to be tested by machines, for double protection.
"Well, then we'll take this one. But let's leave that aside for now. Friend, what about your piece?" Chairman Qi asked.
That's the main event.
Upon hearing this, the old man also looked at Chen Feng, and Chen Feng took the item out of his pocket.
In an instant, both Chairman Qi and the old man looked at the item.
President Qi took it first and examined it carefully, but no matter what he did, he couldn't find the problem, so he could only frown slightly and hand it to the old man.
The old man held the goods and examined them very carefully, even using his fingernails to pry open the gold and silver to see if there were any gaps.
After I finished adjusting it, I found there was no response, so I tried twisting it back and forth with my hand, but how could I possibly twist it?
"Young man, what method did you use to make this fake?"
"Did you glue the two things together first, and then grind and cut them? If you do it that way, there will definitely be no gaps. The craftsmanship is very good." The old man spoke slowly, without even looking at Chen Feng.
"What are you saying?" Chen Feng said in a deep voice, a hint of dissatisfaction already creeping into his heart.
If you find anything wrong, you can say so, but you haven't found anything wrong at all, and yet you say my counterfeiting technique is good. Are you just nitpicking?
"Stop pretending. One item is real and the other is fake. It's a classic scam. But young man, you made it too perfect, which gave you away."
"I've been working with all kinds of ores for decades. What haven't I seen?"
“I’ve never even heard of a natural mineral like yours that has absolutely no flaws, let alone seen one.”
"Don't you think this thing is too outrageous?" The old man held the ore in his hand and slowly turned his head to look at Chen Feng.
Chairman Qi remained silent, only watching Chen Feng and the old man.
"What do you mean? You mean you haven't seen it, so you don't have it, right?" Chen Feng understood what he meant and his words were somewhat impolite.
"No matter how you look at it, there is not a single flaw in your item; even the edges are perfectly neat."
"You still don't know enough. If you had more experience, you would know that naturally formed minerals would never look like this."
"It seems that times are progressing, and counterfeiting techniques are also improving," the old man said with a sigh. If he hadn't been experienced enough, he would have really been fooled.
"No, you have no evidence at all, yet you're accusing me of faking it. What's the use of just saying how many years of experience you have?" Chen Feng simply couldn't understand this guy's thought process.
"What's it for?"
The old man felt a surge of anger upon hearing this.
"Because I've seen a lot and know a lot, I've seen more ores than you've eaten meals!"
"Whether it's fake or not, you know it perfectly well in your heart. If you can find any ore similar to yours, I'll say it's genuine. Do you have it? Do you dare to look for it?"
How could someone who is a big shot in their field allow a mere kid to provoke them, especially since he already has a bad temper?
Unfortunately, he met Chen Feng, whose temper was even worse than his.
"Then you haven't read enough. If you had read more, you wouldn't be spouting nonsense and acting like an old fogey. What's the use of those outdated experiences?"
"Do you dare say you've seen all the minerals in the world, or even all the mineral collections in the world?" Chen Feng said coldly.
"You..." The old man was momentarily speechless. He pointed angrily at Chen Feng, wanting to retort but not knowing what to say.
Although he is very experienced, he certainly wouldn't dare say that he has seen all the mineral collections in the world; he hasn't reached that level yet.
"What do you mean 'you'? If you haven't seen it, then look at it more. If you have any doubts, then ask more questions. If that's the case, then anything you haven't seen is fake, then I haven't even seen you yet, so are you fake too?" Chen Feng snorted and turned his face away, too lazy to even look at him.
"Hey, hey, hey, you two, don't get so worked up." Chairman Qi quickly tried to smooth things over.
