Chapter 375 Appeal



"All of our treasure appraisers agree that this blue and white grape bowl is worth around 60 million yuan."

Master Bai questioned.

"So, you are questioning my ability?"

Master Mu looked at Master Bai sharply and asked.

Who is Master Hemu? He is a national second-level treasure appraiser, but he is already considered a national quasi-first-level treasure appraiser.

At present, since he has not passed the national first-level treasure appraisal test, he is still called the national second-level treasure appraisal master. However, everyone in the treasure appraisal industry knows that Master Mu is about to be upgraded to a national first-level treasure appraisal master.

What kind of identity is a national first-class treasure appraiser? What kind of ability is required to become one? This is beyond doubt.

But since he was able to become one, it proved that his ability was incomparable to that of ordinary treasure appraisers.

If he were placed in an ordinary provincial capital city, Master Mu would definitely be able to conquer all the treasure appraisers in the city.

It's not because of anything else, it's just because his ability is exceptionally outstanding. National-level treasure appraisers are not common, and each one of them is a rare genius in the treasure appraisal world.

And in the mountain city, the highest-ranking treasure appraiser is Master Ye, and only he can preside over such a big situation.

If the Zhou and Bai families had not jointly invited him, he would not have bothered to come to such a small occasion to serve as a treasure appraiser for them.

And now, even Master Bai, a treasure appraiser who couldn't even get a national-level nameplate, dared to question his ability. It was really ridiculous.

Moreover, the fact that he was able to get the heads of the Zhou and Bai families to work together to invite him to take charge here must have proved that his identity was not something that ordinary people could approach.

Master Mu is the second master of the Mu family in Kyoto. Apart from the head of the Mu family, few people dare to order him to do things in this way.

The Zhou and Bai families do have influence in Kyoto. However, even as powerful as they are, they are at most on par with the Mu family, not much higher.

His presence here was already a courtesy to the Zhou and Bai families, so how could he allow a mere treasure appraiser to question his actions?

"I dare not."

"It's just that my ability is far inferior to Master Mu's. I really can't see what's so wonderful about this blue and white colorful squirrel and grape pattern bowl that it can be worth 100 million."

"Master Mu, please answer my questions."

"I believe everyone here would also like to know such a result. I just wonder if Master Mu is willing to answer our questions?"

Shocked by Master Mu's words, Master Bai immediately softened his voice and asked respectfully.

The Patriarch of the Bai family could only talk to Master Mu in this way as a superior in formal occasions, but in normal times, they communicated as peers.

How could he, a member of the Bai family, dare to question Master Mu in this way?

If he had just been distracted, Master Bai would not have dared to be so rude.

"Yes, Master Mu, can you explain to us why this blue and white colorful squirrel and grape pattern bowl is so valuable?"

"We are short-sighted and cannot see any subtlety in this."

Many people at the auction were very confused and asked Master Mu questions one after another.

“Who says there is no one present who cannot see the exquisiteness of this blue and white multicolored squirrel and grape pattern bowl?”

Master Mu said this with a hint of amusement.

"Who is it?"

"Lin Han! Master Lin!"

"Yes, he is the only one who guessed the price of 100 million!"

"How on earth did he figure that out? I really can't figure it out."

"Master Lin, can you explain how you knew this blue and white grape bowl was worth 100 million?"

With Master Mu's affirmation, many people in the auction house gradually accepted this reality and asked Lin Han.

But they still had doubts in their hearts. After hearing Master Mu's words, they no longer doubted Lin Han's ability.

"Lin Han, I wonder if you would be willing to answer a few questions for them?"

Master Mu asked.

"Since Master Mu has invited me like this, if I refuse, I would be putting on airs."

Lin Han slowly walked down to the treasure appraisal room.

"In fact, it is not difficult to see that the blue and white five-color squirrel and grape pattern bowl was used by Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty."

"Royal items are inherently rare, and their craftsmanship and workmanship are, needless to say, exquisite and just right. As long as they have not been damaged by later generations, then royal items must be treasures."

"It goes without saying that the items used by Emperor Qianlong are worth twice or even several times more than other items."

"And this blue and white five-color squirrel and grape pattern bowl is the only one in the world. I remember when we were arguing in this treasure appraisal room just now, someone said that even if it was the only one in the world, it was just a small bowl and it would definitely not be sold at such a high price."

"But what I want to say is exactly the opposite. The only one in the world is often more precious. Indeed, one piece is not precious enough because there is only one left out of a pair. It is indeed not precious enough and its value is not high enough."

"But you all forgot the most basic thing. Bowls are either one or a set. There are very few sets that can be preserved intact."

"Even for items made by the royal family, it is rare to find a set. For example, this bowl with blue and white multicolored squirrel and grape patterns has never been heard of. There was such a set of bowls during the Qianlong period."

"Even unearthed cultural relics don't have it, so this blue and white grape bowl is indeed a unique piece in the world! It is extremely precious!"

"In addition, although the items used by Emperor Qianlong are not very old, considering all the above factors, the price of this blue and white colorful squirrel and grape pattern bowl will not be much lower."

"Someone just mentioned that this blue and white bowl with a multicolored squirrel and grape pattern is only priced at 50 or 60 million yuan. If it is auctioned, it will only fetch 80 or 90 million yuan at most. How could it be worth 100 million yuan?"

"That's another question. First of all, even if this bowl is put on this auction floor, the reserve price will definitely not be less than 50 or 60 million. The actual reserve price should be around 80 million."

"There will inevitably be competition in auctions, and antiques will never be sold at a low price. They will inevitably appreciate in value, and once they appreciate, the price will not be much lower."

"So, judging from all the signs, the price of this blue and white bowl with colorful squirrel and grape patterns will not be less than 80 or 90 million. 100 million is the most suitable price. Of course, I am not confident in some aspects, so I chose a low price of 90 million."

Lin Han's fluent speech left everyone present stunned.
