Chapter 286 Amateur Appraisal



"Yes, it's me."

Master Bao looked displeased and nodded impatiently.

"I am an old man who has no eyes to recognize a great man! I am sorry for the offense I caused you just now, Master Bao, please forgive me."

There was a flash of panic in Cao Dianjin's eyes. He bowed his body and was extremely respectful, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

The original arrogance disappeared in an instant.

Compared with the towering tree of the Bao family, the power of the Cao family is just as insignificant as a leaf.

In terms of family power, there is no comparison between the Cao family and the Bao family.

In addition, the Cao family is spending almost all their money to expand into Outer Mongolia this time. If this transformation and expansion fails, the Cao family will suffer a serious loss.

This is also why, apart from the top leaders of the Cao family, almost no one knows about it.

It just so happens that the Bao family is the crucial link in determining the life and death of the Cao family.

The Bao family is also famous for protecting their own people. As the eldest grandson and heir to the family, Master Bao may not be without the power to veto.

Seeing that Master Bao was slow to speak, Cao Dianjin quickly walked forward and took the folding cup from Master Bao's hand with both hands.

"Mr. Bao, please take a seat."

Master Bao stood behind Lin Han with his hands behind his back, and did not move for a long time.

Cao Dianjin reacted immediately, put the folding cup on the table, bent over, stretched out his right hand, and said respectfully: "Master Lin, please!"

Lin Han smiled and didn't refuse. He sat on the leather sofa.

"Master Lin, a sword goes with a hero. I think it would be best if this folding cup stayed in Master Lin's hands."

"A vulgar person like me..."

"And the money?"

Lin Han interrupted.

"What's the money? Master Lin is so kind to come here, so how can we not pay him an appearance fee?"

Cao Dianjin smiled awkwardly, with a flattering look on his face.

After all this, it is not difficult to see that even Master Bao has to follow Lin Han's lead.

It is enough to see how important Lin Han’s words are. To please Lin Han is ten thousand times more useful than to please Mr. Bao.

Lin Han did not refuse and accepted it directly.

As the saying goes, if you have money, you are a fool not to make it. So why not take the money that is delivered to your door?

"You, come here and apologize to Master Lin and Master Bao."

Cao Dianjin pointed at Sima Nan and said coldly.

Looking at Cao Dianjin's 180-degree turn in attitude, even a fool could see that the Mr. Bao in front of him was no simple man.

Naturally, Sima Nan didn't dare to say a word and apologized in a trembling voice.

Lin Han didn't make things difficult for him. He was very magnanimous and didn't take the matter to heart at all.

Looking at Sima Nan's expression, he must have been so scared that he almost peed his pants.

But it's true. He originally wanted to rely on the Cao family to show off and kill Lin Han's prestige, but he didn't expect that he would kick a steel plate thicker than the city wall.

I was very lucky that I didn't have to kowtow to him three times and nine times, so how could I say anything more?

"Mr. Bao, what do you think about the expansion?"

"Depend on your own ability!"

Master Bao said this and followed Lin Han out of the auction venue.

After hearing what Master Bao said, Cao Dianjin finally felt relieved.

As long as there is no interference from Master Bao, Cao Dianjin still has some confidence in winning the Outer Mongolia expansion plan with the strength of the Cao family.

"a shame!"

"If it weren't for Master Lin's generosity, I would have made it impossible for you to survive in this area."

Cao Dianjin glanced at Sima Nan and snorted coldly.

"Are you just going to let them go like this?"

While driving, Master Bao asked Lin Han with a little dissatisfaction.

"Forgive others when you can. Who knows, they may be of use to you in the future."

Lin Han pretended to be mysterious and said, "Parking at Antique Street."

"You go back first, I still have something to do."

Mr. Bao didn't ask much. He didn't have a strong interest in antiques. After a day's work, he had already become impatient with these antiques.

Now that I have a check for 12 million in my hand, I certainly cannot waste it.

After getting off the car, Lin Han walked slowly in the Antique Street. He took a quick look at all the antiques in the Antique Street, but didn't see anything valuable. They were all worthless items.

"Ha! You want half a million for this imitation thing? Do you think I'm doing charity?"

"This thing of yours is worth at most 100,000 yuan. You can sell it if you want!"

"Besides me, I don't think anyone would want your things."

"This is clearly something passed down from my ancestors, how could it be a replica?"

"It's so funny! How can it be impossible? Our experts say it's a replica, so it's a replica. Believe it or not, but your item is worth at most $100,000. We can't give you a cent more."

Lin Han walked to an antique shop and heard a quarrel coming from the shop, and couldn't help but be attracted over there.

When I walked into the store, I found that there was already a large group of people watching.

A middle-aged man in his fifties or sixties was holding a Tang Dynasty jade figure in his hands and wanted to sell it for half a million yuan.

But who would have thought that the appraisal expert in the antique shop said that this thing was a replica made by later generations and was not worth half a million at all.

But the middle-aged man seemed to have a sick son who urgently needed the 500,000 yuan to save his life, so he kept refusing to agree and kept begging him.

"I think this uncle looks honest and kind, he doesn't look like a liar."

"Little brother, you said this thing is a replica, do you have any basis for that?"

Lin Han pushed through the crowd, stood next to the uncle and asked.

"Of course there is! Our experts said that there was indeed such a jade figure in the Tang Dynasty, but the jade of the Tang Dynasty is green, with dark brown stains in some parts. It is a round sculpture of a standing person with a square face, wearing a hooded hat, a long robe with wide sleeves and a right lapel, and standing upright with his hands clasped in front of him. He looks straight ahead and is an official."

"Since it was unearthed in the Qing Dynasty, it has been treasured by Emperor Qianlong. Later, he ordered jade craftsmen to make a batch of copies and put them in a small album-style box."

"Since the modern wars, foreign invaders have burned, killed and looted, and the jade figurines of the Tang Dynasty have disappeared. I don't know whether they have been lost abroad or no longer exist in the world."

"But now some people say that he has a jade figurine in the image of a Tang Dynasty official in his hand. Don't you think this is ridiculous?"

The clerk glanced at Lin Han and said very rudely.

“Is this how your store authenticates?”

Lin Han frowned and said in a muffled voice.

"Who are you? Is it your turn to speak here?"

"What do you know? Do I need to explain so much to you?"

"If you have nothing to do, get out of here right away. You are pretending to know everything and why are you meddling in this matter?"

"And are you going to sell it or not? If not, get out of here and stop blocking our business."

The clerk's face became very unhappy and he scolded in a very unfriendly manner.

This person in front of me, who looks to be in his teens or twenties, can't possibly understand anything, but he's commenting on other people's affairs. It's really ridiculous.

Judging from his clothes, he doesn't look like a wealthy man, so there is no need for him to be so polite.

Moreover, he has seen many such people over the years. They just want to try their luck in the antique street and make their presence felt.
