Zhuang Yao spoke generously:
"Mr. Qin, didn't you ask me to go to your house to appreciate the collection?"
"My eyesight is not good enough, so I invited an expert. My father, Mr. Wang, and Mr. Ma are also interested. How about we take a look together?"
Master Qin was tricked by Zhuang Yao, but he couldn't show his anger openly.
He glanced at Chairman Wang and Mr. Ma, then set his eyes on Lin Han.
To be honest, in his eyes, the chairman of China Guardian Auction House is nothing more than a businessman.
Mr. Ma is a scholar. Although he has high social prestige, he has little power.
Young Master Qin didn't take them seriously at all.
And Lin Han...
This young man who looks like he is dressed in ordinary clothes is actually called a master by Zhuang Yao?
Master Qin smiled with interest.
"I wonder where this expert is working?"
Lin Han had already seen his disdain for himself.
I just wanted to finish watching as quickly as possible and then leave.
So there was no attack.
"I'm here on a business trip."
His words were brief, not to mention fawning, and even contained a hint of contempt.
Young Master Qin snorted and walked to the sofa and sat down.
Then he took out a transparent folder from his bag.
"Since you are an expert, you must recognize my things. Take a look!"
As he spoke, Master Qin took out a thin booklet from his file bag.
The booklet is of normal book size, and the paper is slightly yellowed.
You can tell it's quite old, but it's in perfect condition with almost no creases on the edges or corners.
Master Qin pointed at the book and said in a gentle voice:
"How about [Collected Works of Wang Wengong]? I'm sure you've all heard of it!"
It turned out to be the collected works of Wang Wengong?
Teacher Ma and Mr. Wang came over at the same time.
The two men are equally accomplished in identifying collections.
If we must compare, Mr. Ma has handled more diverse things and knows a little bit about all categories.
But everyone has their own areas of expertise.
Mr. Ma has made some achievements in porcelain identification.
Although Mr. Wang is an entrepreneur, he has been involved in the antique world for a long time, so all the things he has seen are top-quality treasures.
Although my eyesight is a little poor, my feeling is very accurate.
The two of them were moved the first time they saw Master Qin take out the book.
Now that I hear him say it is the collected works of Wang Wengong, I find it even more rare.
Among cultural relics collections, the collection of ancient books is relatively niche and unpopular.
The appraisal of ancient books requires a relatively high level of cultural and appreciation skills from the practitioners.
Moreover, from ancient times to the present, relatively few ancient books have been handed down, and most of them have been damaged and lost.
But that's why.
Any ancient books that have been authenticated as authentic and have relatively high quality of engraving and proofreading.
It can basically be sold at a sky-high price.
Some time ago, an ancient book from the Song Dynasty was auctioned off at the Hong Kong Auction House.
Coincidentally, the Song Dynasty letter album being auctioned has some connection with the current collection of Wang Wengong's works.
They were all compiled by Wang Anshi in the early Southern Song Dynasty.
It is considered an ancient book of national treasure level.
That Song Dynasty letter album has exquisite carvings, dignified handwriting, exquisite paper and ink, and high quality of proofreading.
So in the end, the deal was sold for 100 million yuan.
Although this transaction price is considered the peak for ancient books.
However, it also indirectly illustrates the value of Song Dynasty edition ancient books.
If the collected works of Wang Wengong given by Prince Qin is authentic.
That is to say, what is in front of them may very well be a national treasure worth 100 million yuan.
How could Mr. Ma and Mr. Wang not be excited?
"Mr. Qin, how did you get this book?"
Mr. Ma looked at the ancient book carefully, put on the gloves prepared beside him, put the monocular magnifying glass under his eyes, and asked Mr. Qin.
All ancient cultural relics are about inheritance.
If the inheritance is orderly and the origin is clean, then it is top quality.
After all, the transaction price is easily in the tens of millions, and even the slightest mistake would be very embarrassing for everyone.
That's why Mr. Ma asked this question.
Who knew that Master Qin would be so rude.
"My stuff, why are you worried? It's passed down from our ancestors!"
hehe!
Everyone knows that Master Qin relies on his wife.
His ancestors had long been thoroughly investigated by the citizens of Beijing.
How could ordinary people have such a national treasure?
However, Mr. Ma did not say anything, but just looked at the title page of the book intently.
From time to time, I would carefully turn the inner pages, point a magnifying glass at the text, and observe the direction of each stroke.
Mr. Wang's movements were not as big as his, but he was also obviously very excited.
Master Qin saw them like this.
I know I made a big fool of myself today.
He leaned back on the sofa, crossed his legs, pointed at Zhuang Yao and said:
"See? This is fun!"
He sneered, disdainful of Zhuang Yao for not wanting to go to his house.
"I asked you to come to my house but you didn't go. Are you afraid that I would eat you?"
He actually openly flirted with Zhuang Yao in front of so many important people?
Zhuang Kaiyuan gritted his teeth and glared at Master Qin fiercely.
"Mr. Qin, Teacher Ma and Mr. Wang haven't said anything yet, this thing of yours..."
What I mean is that this ancient book of yours may not be authentic, so stop showing off here!
"Hahaha!" Young Master Qin laughed unscrupulously.
"How can I, Qin Fei, have fakes? Master Zhuang, you underestimate me too much!"
Master Qin pointed at the enamel vase on the bookcase behind everyone, as well as the elegant Song Dynasty official kiln drip.
"All these things of yours are not as valuable as one of my books! I tell you, these have all been authenticated by experts!"
His noisy voice made the atmosphere in the originally elegant study become vulgar.
Lin Han stood up and said calmly:
"Your book is fake!"
"What?"
Everyone looked up and looked at Lin Han.
Young Master Qin jumped up and pointed at Lin Han, cursing as if someone had stepped on his tail:
"Who do you think you are? My book is worth 200 million! You say it's fake, so it's fake?"
The two were on edge, and the Zhuang family and Teacher Ma felt a little awkward.
But more of it is the pleasure of letting out a sigh of relief.
But...is what Lin Han said true?
Especially Zhuang Yao, who was so happy when she heard Lin Han say that Master Qin's book was fake.
but……
"Lin Han, why do you say it's fake?"
Zhuang Yao looked at Lin Han with her grape-like eyes and asked softly.
Then he turned to Master Qin.
“Mr. Qin, you also said that it is for everyone to appreciate. You can’t stop Lin Han from speaking!”
"Speak! Speak!" Young Master Qin was furious and sat back down again angrily: "Lin Han, if you don't speak clearly today, I will make you disappear from the antique world in the future!"
hiss……
Everyone hurried to look at Lin Han's expression.
It would be terrible if Lin Han really couldn't explain it clearly.
Young Master Qin may not have any other abilities, but when it comes to playing tricks on people, he has a lot of tricks up his sleeve.
Moreover, he has great power. Although he is a worthless son-in-law, the girl's family is prominent and will definitely not let him lose face.
Mr. Ma also whispered:
"Lin Han, tell me, to be honest, the quality and engraving of this book are both pretty good."
Lin Han raised his eyelids and asked Mr. Ma:
"Are you talking about the title page or the inside?"
