The two elders praised each other's children in great detail, not missing any details.
But the next moment, they turned the topic to Lin Han.
Lin Han, the only outsider, stood out and it was hard for him not to be noticed.
"I heard that Master Lin has made great achievements in the antique world. He is invincible in Siping City and dominates the area."
"After arriving at the mountain city, I have killed countless people. It is true that young people are heroes and shock the people."
The head of the Bai family looked at Lin Han and suddenly said with a smile.
"No, no, compared to the abilities of the two family heads, Lin's strength is not worth mentioning. It's just that I have a specialty and have achieved something in one area. It's not worth mentioning."
Lin Han also became a little more modest.
However, it is also true that Patriarch Bai and Patriarch Zhou have made contributions in various aspects and have achieved considerable success. Being able to lead the entire family to such a level, it can be seen that they are not ordinary people.
Although Lin Han has made great achievements and has great prestige in the antique world, he is still somewhat inferior to the heads of the Bai and Zhou families. However, Lin Han's future will certainly not stop there.
After all, considering their ages, Lin Han is only in his prime twenties, while the heads of the Zhou and Bai families are almost in their twilight years. Whether in terms of physical fitness or reaction and judgment, Lin Han is much better than them.
Although Lin Han may not be able to achieve the same level of heights in all fields as them, but to a certain extent, Lin Han's achievements will definitely not be low.
"By the way, my Bai family just bought an antique recently. However, I am not very good at seeing and do not know much about antiques. I cannot easily tell whether it is real or fake. I would like to ask Master Lin to help me identify it."
"I wonder if I can?"
The head of the Bai family asked with a smile on his face.
"Of course you can. I wonder what collection Master Bai has bought?"
Lin Han asked.
"Come, I'll take you to see it."
"It is a Hetian jade gilt deer, tiger and bat ornament from the Tang Dynasty."
"It's just that because the age is too old and the production process is extremely complicated, I have been unsure."
"But, my nephew found me several treasure appraisers and they all said that this item must be genuine. I am an old man with blurry eyes and I can't tell. But Master Lin happened to be here today, so why not help me appraise it?"
"If Master Lin confirms it, then it must be real."
The head of the Bai family smiled brightly, and didn't seem to care too much about the authenticity of the items.
But Lin Han heard some different emotions from the mouth of the head of the Bai family. It seemed that he had some doubts, but he was not completely sure.
Lin Han followed the head of the Bai family to a collection room. When they entered the collection room, what caught their eyes were priceless items and countless treasures. Under the dim light of the goose yellow light, they looked extremely precious and luxurious.
Passing other collections, Lin Han and others came to a glass cabinet. Under the glass cabinet was a red button, and inside was the Hetian jade gilded deer, tiger and bat ornament mentioned by the head of the Bai family.
The jade body is pure white and shining, with light milky white dotted with golden yellow. The whole thing is translucent, and under the warm light of goose yellow, it looks radiant and sparkling.
At first glance, it is perfect and flawless. If it is a treasure, it must be priceless.
However, when Lin Han took the first look at it, he found something wrong and judged that this Hetian jade gilded deer, tiger and bat ornament was not from the Tang Dynasty, but an imitation from the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
Although they are both antiques, if they are imitations from the Ming and Qing dynasties, they are definitely not worth a fortune. At most, they are worth tens of millions. If they are still considered priceless, that would be too exaggerated.
As Lin Han looked more closely, he found more and more flaws, but they were all very small and subtle. If you didn't look carefully, you would not be able to find where these flaws were at all.
Even when Lin Han took a first glance, he did not notice those flaws. It was only after he opened his golden eyes that he slowly discovered those flaws.
It can be seen that even the imitations from the Ming and Qing dynasties are made with extremely meticulous workmanship, with every detail taken into account, making it difficult for people to easily discover any serious problems.
If it is true, the value of this Hetian jade gilt deer, tiger and bat ornament at an auction could reach hundreds of millions. However, to say that it is priceless would be way beyond one's budget.
"How is it, Master Lin, have you figured out whether it's authentic? Is it a Hetian jade gilded deer, tiger and bat ornament from the Tang Dynasty?"
The head of the Bai family was about to take out a white glove and hand it to Lin Han.
"Well, this item is not a Hetian jade gilded deer, tiger and bat ornament from the Tang Dynasty, but it is also an antique. It is just a replica from the Ming and Qing Dynasties."
“Although the workmanship is extremely fine and it can be considered a treasure, it is still a little inferior to the Hetian jade gilded deer, tiger and bat ornaments from the Tang Dynasty.”
"I just don't know how much did Patriarch Bai pay for this item?"
Lin Han asked.
"Two billion."
Patriarch Bai said lightly.
It was as if two billion was not a big number in front of him.
"Two billion is indeed priceless."
Lin Han said carefully.
Although 2 billion is not as much as a provincial capital, it can still be compared to a small county town or urban area.
However, buying this Hetian jade gilded deer, tiger and bat ornament for 2 billion yuan was a huge loss and totally not worth it.
"Why? Master Lin, how much did I lose?"
The head of the Bai family asked.
"Conservatively estimated, it's at least 1.5 billion."
"However, this item also has collection value, but compared with the Hetian jade gilded deer, tiger and bat ornaments from the Tang Dynasty, it is not as good as it seems."
"May I ask again, who sold this to you?"
Lin Han asked and answered.
"My nephew."
"Master Lin, is this Hetian jade gilded deer, tiger and bat ornament really a replica?"
The head of the Bai family asked with a little doubt, as if he was struggling with something.
"If the Patriarch doesn't believe it, you can ask your nephew to confront me."
Lin Han replied calmly.
"It's not that I don't trust Master Lin, but this Hetian jade gilded deer, tiger and bat ornament is related to certain things, so I have to ask for clarification."
The head of the Bai family replied with a chuckle.
Afterwards, he asked someone to find his nephew.
It turned out that the nephew of the Bai family insisted that this Hetian jade gilded deer, tiger and bat ornament was the real thing, so the head of the Bai family spent a lot of money to buy it. This Hetian jade gilded deer, tiger and bat ornament is of great significance to the head of the Bai family.
