Next, several other treasure owners are waiting in the back for their treasures to be appraised.
Wang Xuesen instructed his men to invite the next treasure owner in.
This time, there are a total of five treasure owners, and there will be four more in the future.
Liu Zhongyi, together with several experts, helped with the identification one by one.
With all the assessments completed, the rehearsal is almost over.
Wang Xuesen announced the end of the workday, and Li Xianren had been waiting outside for a long time. He even specially asked his driver to bring over a Mercedes-Benz seven-seater minivan to take everyone to his restaurant.
Shortly after everyone left, a Toyota slowly pulled up to the side of the road.
A short while later, a man wearing a baseball cap came out from the program crew's side, glanced around, opened the car door, and got in.
The Toyota quickly drove away from its original location and then stopped in a secluded alley.
In the driver's seat, a man dressed in a kimono coldly asked, "Was the matter settled?"
The man nodded and took a camera out of his bag.
The man in the kimono took the camera, flipped through it, and there was Li Xianren's treasure inside: the Ming Chenghua blue and white porcelain vase.
It's captured from every angle, and the photos are incredibly clear!
Shinichi Kameda's eyes lit up slightly. "A blue and white porcelain vase with lotus petal-shaped mouth and intertwined floral design! Tsk tsk, this is a real gem, it could fetch at least hundreds of millions!"
The man said, "There are five treasures in this episode, and this one is the most valuable, so Wang Tai decided that it will be the last one to appear!"
"Alright! Thank you for your hard work!" Shinichi Kameda nodded with a cold smile.
The man shook his head. "No need to be so polite. We're just mutually benefiting. As per our previous agreement, I want half the commission after the deal is done! This bottle is worth at least 100 million, and I want 50 million!"
“No problem!” Shinichi Kameda sneered. “Don’t worry, once I get back, I’ll start making the replica. As long as you can successfully swap out the real thing on the day of the show, I guarantee you’ll get fifty million yen!”
The man hurriedly said, "You don't need to worry about that. I've worked at the TV station for twenty years, always in charge of production management. Before going on stage, I'm absolutely confident I can switch the bottle. However, you have to guarantee that what you make is indistinguishable from the real thing. Otherwise, if someone recognizes it on set, we're both finished! If I get caught, I'll definitely implicate you, Mr. Bian Du!"
The man's lips curled into a cold smile, his tone full of threat.
Shinichi Kameda nodded. "Don't worry! I'm a descendant of the Fish Eye School. I made that gold seal before, as you saw. It's so realistic that it's indistinguishable from the real thing. At least from the appearance, that Lin guy definitely won't be able to tell the difference! Besides, you've already rehearsed beforehand. The day of the show is just a formality, so they won't be that careful! No one will notice anything! You can rest assured!"
"Okay! I'll trust you this once. Hurry up and do the imitation. There are only three days left before the show. I'll contact you in advance!"
The man said one more thing, then pushed open the door and went downstairs.
A cold smile appeared on Kameda's lips as he scoffed, "You really think I care about that little bit of money?"
His motives go beyond just money!
After losing so many times, he's determined to win at least once!
"Liu Zhongyi, Lin Yu, you just wait! This time, I'll make sure you're utterly disgraced!!"
...
On the other end.
Lin Yu and the others had already been taken to Li Xianren's restaurant.
A five-star Chinese-style hotel.
The private room, filled with the fragrance of sandalwood, features antique and elegant mahogany tables and chairs.
By this time, everyone had taken their seats.
Li Xianren has already made the arrangements; the hotel's best ingredients will definitely be served to this private room first.
Wang Xuesen joked, "We're really lucky to have Mr. Lin here today! I heard that Mr. Li's restaurant charges at least 300,000 yuan for a membership card alone. We can't usually afford to go to such a high-end place!"
His words immediately drew laughter from everyone.
Lin Yu waved his hand, "This is Mr. Li's generosity, it has nothing to do with me, so don't try to steal the spotlight!"
Li Xianren said with a smile, "Mr. Lin, since you're in such a good mood today, we must have some wine! I have a bottle of fine wine that I've been saving for myself, but I'm bringing it out for everyone to try today!"
Lin Yu smiled and said, "Since we're on Boss Li's turf, we should naturally follow his lead!"
Li Xianren smiled and nodded, then snapped his hand to beckon the foreman over and whispered a few words in his ear.
The foreman nodded, turned and walked out. After a while, he came back carefully carrying a tray covered with a red cloth.
Everyone looked at him strangely.
I have no idea what kind of wine this is; it's all so mysterious.
Li Xianren stood up, smiled, and unveiled the red cloth, revealing a clay-sealed blue-and-white porcelain wine pot to everyone.
"This is Yuan blue and white porcelain!"
"I know this thing, it's called an octagonal ewer!"
"My God! This pot must be worth over ten million! Mr. Li, you're actually using it for cellaring? That's incredibly extravagant!"
The crowd was abuzz with discussion, and even the veteran experts were shocked.
The bottle alone is so luxurious, what kind of wine is inside, is it golden wine?
Li Xianren smiled smugly, "To be honest, I dug this up from the backyard of my old home. My dad said it was buried by my great-grandfather. This liquor is said to be original Maotai, and it must be a hundred years old! It's definitely better than Lai Maotai!"
Everyone was taken aback when they heard this.
As we all know, the longer baijiu (Chinese white liquor) is aged, the better it tastes and the more fragrant and mellow it becomes!
Who has ever seen a hundred-year-old wine?
I've never even seen it, let alone tasted it!
