"This thing has such obvious flaws. Boss Lin, do you have the nerve to say it's true?"
"Even if we say that there are good and bad Ming Dynasty artifacts, counterfeiting is not part of the distinction. Just like this Ming Dynasty blue and white lion-rolling plum vase with double animal ears, if it is a fake, then it can't be real, so how can we talk about the distinction between good and bad?"
"Besides, even if there were distinctions between superior and inferior porcelains in the Ming Dynasty, a blue and white porcelain vase like this would not be used by any concubine of any rank."
Mr. Jin, the owner of the antique shop, carefully examined the Ming Dynasty blue and white lion rolling ball double animal handle plum vase in Lin Han's hand and refuted it with disdain.
However, when he was identifying this Ming Dynasty blue and white lion rolling ball double animal handle plum vase, he found something wrong, but he was not sure.
"So, I have something to say to you, Boss Jin."
“Don’t give up until you see the Yellow River.”
"Indeed, the craftsmanship of this Ming Dynasty blue and white lion-rolling double-animal-ear plum vase is indeed not good, but Boss Jin, have you forgotten that there is a place called the Cold Palace in the imperial palace? How good can the place where the things are placed be in the Cold Palace?"
"Naturally, those flawed utensils, if they were not too problematic, would be placed in the cold palace. And it just so happens that this Ming Dynasty blue and white lion-shaped plum vase with double animal ears is a product of the cold palace during the Zhengtong period of the Ming Dynasty."
"Of course, I know that this reason alone cannot convince you. Then look at the signature I mentioned. The signature of this Ming Dynasty blue and white lion-shaped plum vase with double animal handles on the ground is "made in the Zhengtong period". There seems to be nothing wrong with that, right?"
"But as far as I know, blue and white porcelain produced during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty generally had no mark, and only a very small number had year marks. Since then, imitations of Yongle kiln marks have begun to appear in later generations, so that most of the blue and white porcelain produced in later generations will not have signatures."
"And the Ming Dynasty Blue and White Lion Rolling Ball Plum Vase in my hand, as you all saw just now, has no year of manufacture inscription. Considering the reasons mentioned above, is there anything else worthy of suspicion?"
The reasons Lin Han gave left none of the antique shop owners present unable to refute them.
Even Boss Jin opened his mouth slightly, wanting to refute Lin Han's statement, but countless reasons flashed through his mind, and he rejected them one by one. None of these reasons could completely and effectively refute Lin Han's statement.
Could it be that the Ming Dynasty blue and white lion rolling ball plum vase with double animal ears in Lin Han's hand is real?
"Boss Jin? Is that Ming Dynasty blue and white lion-rolling plum vase with double animal handles real?"
Boss Liu asked tremblingly.
"Boss Liu, isn't what I said clear enough?"
Lin Han smiled.
"How is this possible! This is absolutely impossible! You must be lying to me!"
Boss Jin retorted with a look of disbelief.
But the further he spoke, the smaller his voice became. It was obvious that he had begun to lose confidence in himself and did not believe what he was saying at all.
But for the sake of so-called face, he had to subconsciously refute Lin Han.
"Boss Jin, this time, it seems that you really made a mistake."
Boss Wang, who was standing nearby, said in a low voice.
"Boss Jin, when will I get the title deed to this antique shop?"
Now that you have won the bet, you must not forget the most important thing.
"Yes, as a boss, you can't have no credibility at all, right?"
Master Zhou echoed at this time.
Boss Jin lowered his head and did not respond for a long time. It was obvious that he did not want to hand over the title deed.
After all, this antique shop is the result of his life's hard work. How can he live the rest of his life if he gives up all his life's hard work just for this bet?
"Boss Jin, I think people should keep their word! You really lost this bet."
"Yeah, actually, there's nothing wrong with starting from scratch and trying again. What if you can make more money?"
"Boss Jin, I'm not saying anything bad about you. If you don't have the ability, then don't bet with Boss Lin. Look, you're losing now, how embarrassing. But I still think, what's the most important thing for people? Trust. You should be willing to accept defeat."
"You're responsible for your own mistakes, Boss Jin. You should go home and practice your treasure appraisal skills instead of embarrassing yourself here."
"Boss Lin's treasure appraisal ability is so strong, it's not shameful to lose to Boss Lin."
The antique shop owners around were all on Lin Han's side at this moment.
It was as if the people who had just stood against Lin Han were not them. If the words they said were spoken by other people, they would have felt that every word hit the heart and made them think that they were in the same group as Lin Han.
Of course, they didn't say this casually or deliberately to provoke Boss Jin, but to some extent, they would also get certain benefits.
If the deed to Boss Jin's antique shop was taken away by Lin Han, then no matter what, they would naturally have one less competitor.
You know, although Boss Jin's quality is average, his ability to appraise treasures is first-class in the antique market. There are almost no antique shop owners who can compare with his ability to appraise treasures.
Such people will destroy the balance in the antique market. Most of the business in the antique market will be taken away by Boss Jin. Now, since someone can overthrow Boss Jin, it is naturally the best thing.
They are happy to see such things, as this way, their business may be much better.
As for how Lin Han or Boss Jin's antique shop will develop in the future, let's not talk about it for now. After all, no one can predict what will happen in the future. It would be a great honor to be able to defeat a big enemy now.
Even though Lin Han identified the authenticity of the Ming Dynasty Blue and White Plum Vase with Lion Rolling Balls and Double Animal Ears, they did not take Lin Han's personal ability to identify treasures too seriously. They would have thought that it was just a blind cat catching a dead mouse and that it was just good luck.
Besides, a man like Lin Han is obviously a playboy. It is impossible for him to be obsessed with antiques. He will probably lose interest after playing with it for a few months. If this is the case, his business will naturally decline gradually and eventually go bankrupt.
So, no matter which direction you think about it from, now is the best choice.
But before Lin Han could get the deed to Boss Jin's antique shop, Boss Liu next to him groaned a few times and even looked a little aggrieved.
"Mr. Lin, Mr. Lin, I suddenly remembered that this Ming Dynasty blue and white lion-rolling double-animal-ear plum vase is actually my grandfather's favorite."
