Bao Yourong could understand these principles, but Master Bao found it difficult to accept them at first.
Just as I was about to refute, I saw my grandfather's expression of approval.
I no longer dared to speak.
"I never thought that although Master Lin is several generations younger than me, his experience is far superior to mine... It seems that our Bao family's grandfather and grandson came to the capital today for the right reason."
As Bao Yourong said this, everyone in the audience couldn't help but look at him.
"We came here today to find an outstanding appraiser in the Central Plains... As you all know, our Bao family migrated from the Central Plains decades ago."
"The history of the Bao family in the Central Plains can be traced back to the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty."
"I'm sure you all know that things from the Wanli period can really astonish the world."
"As far as I know, there was a large blue and white bowl with the number 6 on the bottom during the Wanli period... It was collected by an antique collector in Central China some time ago... It is said that he found it at a bargain price and it seems that he only spent more than 2,000 yuan."
"I came here today to ask an expert to take me to visit this collector. If possible, I will go back to the Gao family and buy this bowl... because our ancestors participated in the firing of this batch of blue and white bowls at that time."
Everyone in the factory nodded in sudden understanding.
Except Lin Han and Zhuang Yao.
Most of the Tsinghua inscriptions during the Wanli period had four characters engraved on the bottom.
It should not be said that all the porcelains from the Wanli period discovered so far have the word "4" on them.
The large blue and white bowl with six words engraved on the bottom that Bao Yourong mentioned was undoubtedly the one that Lin Han bought from the ragpicker for 2,000 yuan some time ago.
The bowl was then placed in a safe in the back room of Shuangmulin.
The last time Shuangmulin was smashed, the safe was still intact.
So the bowl remained intact in the Shuangmulin safe.
Now hearing Bao Yourong say this, he might not know that Lin Han is the owner of this bowl.
But……
Lin Han couldn't help but look at Bao Yourong in confusion.
He even knew the origin of the bowl and how much it cost, but he didn't know who the bowl belonged to?
It’s a bit unbelievable no matter how you think about it.
"Mr. Bao, do you really not know where this bowl is? Besides, China is so vast, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack for you and me alone."
Bao Yourong looked embarrassed, and sighed slightly, saying, "Of course I know the answer to this question, but based on Master Lin's skills and the recent evaluation of you by the antique world, I think as long as this news is released, countless people will flock to it, and among them may be the owner of the bowl."
That's true.
He spoke sincerely, and there was a hint of worry and hesitation on his face.
It seems that no one really knows who the owner of this bowl is.
At this time, Minister Bai was also on the side, saying, "Mr. Bao came all the way here, and he told me about this before he came. It's just that I didn't tell you this in advance, so I was wrong."
"Besides, following Mr. Bao to explore the country will also bring you other unexpected gains, right?"
Of course Lin Han didn't mind following Bao Yourong out.
only……
"Mr. Bao, you don't have to look for it. The owner of the bowl is right here."
What?
Not to mention Mr. Bao, even Mr. Bao, who never showed his emotions, couldn't help but stare at Lin Han with his eyes wide open and his mouth half open.
In fact, there is one part that the old man has not yet told you about the origin of the bowl and the Bao family.
Their ancestors were indeed involved in the firing of the six-character bowls.
For this reason, they certainly wanted to keep the bowl for themselves. Another deeper reason was that they had asked an expert to look at their offer, and it was determined that if they wanted to prosper for six generations, they had to enshrine the bowl in the ancestral hall.
And we must maintain the pure Chinese bloodline from generation to generation.
Only in this way can the Bao family ensure prosperity.
Of course, Mr. Bao would never tell everyone the reason why he was looking for this bowl.
I just talked about one side of it.
This way everyone will think that the Bao family is a family that respects their ancestors and is nostalgic.
I originally thought that after finding Lin Han in Beijing this time, I would still need to search the whole country, or even if someone came to me because of Lin Han's name, they would still have to go through a long and lengthy screening.
But I didn’t expect that Master Lin would say that the owner of the bowl was at the scene.
Isn't this like searching for something everywhere but finding it without any effort?
The old man looked around, his eyes sweeping across the faces of everyone present.
First, he locked his sights on Xiahou Ji.
If we were to ask who this Wanli blue and white bowl should belong to, it would definitely belong to the Xiahou family.
After all, his grandfather Xiahou Ding was one of the most prominent figures in the country, and it was said that the collections in his home were so dazzling that they were almost comparable to a museum.
To be able to identify the Wanli blue and white bowl among a pile of inconspicuous collections, one must have the eyesight of Mr. Xia Houding.
"Excuse me, Master Xiahou, does this bowl belong to the Xiahou family?"
Bao Yourong asked expectantly.
Master Xiahou shook his head slightly.
"I hope I can find a Wanli blue and white bowl for 2,000 yuan, which has a market value of nearly 200 million yuan."
this……
Mr. Bao nodded slightly and turned his gaze to Academician Luo. This time, before he could ask any questions, Academician Luo waved his hand and said, "If I had this big bowl in my hand, I would not only be called an academician, but I might even be able to move up to a higher level."
It seems that everyone at the scene dreams of owning a large Wanli blue and white bowl.
These two people are most likely.
But it is neither.
Mr. Bao turned his gaze to the others, and they all waved their hands.
"Of course we don't have Master Lin either, so don't keep us in suspense..."
Before everyone finished speaking, they all looked at Lin Han.
Yes, some time ago, I bought a Wanli blue and white porcelain bowl worth 200 million yuan for 2,000 yuan. It is said that this incident happened in Siping City.
Is there anyone else from Siping City here?
Isn’t it Lin Han?
Bao Yourong certainly didn't know that Lin Han was from Siping City, but from the looks of the crowd, she guessed in an instant that Lin Han might be the one who owned the Wanli blue and white bowl.
"...You...you...so the person who owns the Wanli blue and white bowl is Master Lin?"
As soon as these words came out, Bao Yourong found it hard to believe.
The young man in front of them was only twenty-four or twenty-five years old, but they already knew that he had three priceless treasures in his hands.
Any one of them can become famous.
Some antique collectors may only be able to acquire one of these in their entire lifetime, but it is enough for them to be proud of and brag about it for the rest of their lives.
But the young man in front of him, Lin Han, actually already has three such rare treasures. How many secrets are hidden behind him? How many treasures does he have in his hands?
