When the jade stall owner arrived at the Treasure Pavilion, the identification work had already come to an end.

After several rounds of appraisal, several appraisal experts gave their conclusions.

"This thing is indeed fine, authentic. In the absence of a provenance, I think it can be worth 700,000 Dragon Coins."

"I agree. The bracelet is in very good condition. It is totally worth 700,000 dragon coins," another appraisal expert agreed.

"Indeed, it's a pity that I don't know if this bracelet came from the palace. If it did, it would cost at least millions."

"Seven, seven hundred thousand?"

"It costs millions more to come out of the palace?!"

The stall owner was shocked.

How could such a B-grade jade bracelet be worth so much money?

Just as the stall owner was shocked, an apprentice from a jade shop next door asked the same question.

The master who brought him out nodded and then explained to him seriously: "In the late Qing Dynasty, jade was not as particular about quality and grading as it is now."

"At that time, the quality of jade was determined solely by the emperor's preferences."

"So the value of an ancient jade bracelet depends solely on its age and origin."

"The older the jade bracelet is, the higher the status of the person who wore it, and the more valuable it is."

"But it's only been a little over a hundred years since the late Qing Dynasty," the apprentice asked again.

The master shook his head, "It's different."

"Do you see its color?"

“It’s green.”

"It was the late Qing dynasty, when the Empress Dowager was in power."

"At that time, Karl Lagerfeld liked green jade, so the jade sent by Myanmar as tribute was specially dyed green."

Seeing the apprentice seeming to understand, the master went on to explain: "At that time, if someone could have such a green jade bracelet, the owner must be either rich or noble."

"If this bracelet came from an official, it is more likely to be a tribute bestowed by Empress Dowager Cixi!"

"You think such cultural relics are not valuable?"

The apprentice suddenly realized, "So that's how it is!"

The apprentice understood it, and of course the jade stall owner understood it too.

At this moment, he clenched his back teeth tightly, wishing he could bite them all into pieces so that he could turn back time.

You have to know that the psychological price of the old man in plain clothes at that time was only about 10,000 or 20,000 yuan.

More than thirty times of profit slipped away from one's hands just like that. Who wouldn't regret it?

As for Qin Xuan, the appraisal has basically been completed.

Chen Zhongping slowly walked up to him and the old man in plain clothes and said with a smile, "Mr. Qin, what do you think of the price of 700,000?"

Qin Xuan smiled back, "I think it's too low."

"Too low?" Chen Zhongping was stunned.

“Is there anything we haven’t considered?”

Qin Xuan nodded, "To be honest, this bracelet was once worn by the Empress Dowager of the Qing Dynasty."

"If you want to estimate the price, it should be estimated according to the imperial tribute in the palace."

"Empress Dowager Buddha?!"

Chen Zhongping looked at Qin Xuan with a strange expression.

Based on what happened just now, he already knew that Qin Xuan was not the original owner of the bracelet.

How did he figure out this problem that the original owner didn't know and the treasure appraisal experts couldn't identify?

Does he really have a unique vision that is different from ordinary people?

Or is it just simply asking for an exorbitant price?

Just when Chen Zhongping was feeling a little confused, a familiar figure suddenly came into his sight.

"Old Ye, you came at the right time!"

"Come and give me some advice."

Pulling Ye Shuliang, who had just entered the room, aside, Chen Zhongping hurriedly told him everything that had just happened.

Like him, Ye Shuliang is a collector and has a good eye for identifying things.

More importantly, since his ancestors were of the same lineage as Empress Dowager Cixi, Ye Shuliang has an extremely deep research on tributes from the Qing Dynasty.

It is absolutely appropriate for him, the descendant of the old Buddha, to authenticate the things of his ancestors.

"Where's the stuff?"

"Bring it here so I can see it."

Just as Chen Zhongping thought.

Ye Shuliang was very excited when he heard that there was a bracelet worn by Empress Dowager Cixi here. He couldn't wait to take the bracelet in his hand and look at it carefully. He only put it down slowly after a few minutes.

Chen Zhongping asked expectantly, "How is it?"

Ye Shuliang replied, "No problem."

"This kind of quality and carving is indeed what Karl Lagerfeld likes."

"What about the price?" Chen Zhongping asked.

"Within 1.5 million, I think anything is acceptable."

hiss!

Ye Shuliang did not hide anything in his answer.

The crowds watching around gasped.

It’s unbelievable that a B-grade bracelet can be sold at such a high price!

"Mr. Qin, you heard it too. The price is 1.5 million. What do you think?"

Chen Zhongping did not waste time and offered Qin Xuan the highest price recommended by Ye Shuliang.

Qin Xuan agreed immediately.

He also heard Ye Shuliang's valuation, and combined with the approximate estimates of several previous experts, he thought the price was completely acceptable.

With the money exchanged for the goods, Qin Xuan's first bargain deal was concluded.

But to Qin Xuan's surprise, the old man in cloth left alone after getting 70,000 dragon coins.

No matter how Qin Xuan persuaded him, he refused to take a penny more.

Qin Xuan couldn't help but admire this spirit of contract.

I secretly thought that if I meet him again in the future, I must find a way to help him.

After seeing the old man off, Qin Xuan stayed in the treasure pavilion.

It is said that this is the place with the richest antiques in Jiangcheng, so how could he not take a good look around?

Soon, Qin Xuan used his mind to find an ellipsoidal blue and white porcelain jar.

Blue and white porcelain jar: I am a seahorse pattern jar from the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty! What does it mean that he only sells it for 100,000? Does he look down on me?

Qin Xuan smiled slightly.

This blue and white jar is quite unique.

Qin Xuan paid and picked up the goods in one go, and turned around and handed the items to the counter.

"Excuse me, I want to sell antiques."

“Isn’t this the seahorse pattern jar you just bought?”

The front desk was puzzled.

"Yes." Qin Xuan admitted happily.

"This seahorse-patterned jar is a blue-and-white porcelain from the Ming Dynasty. I would like to sell it to your store. As for the price, I'd like to trouble your appraisal expert."

"ah?"

“Did we set the price too low before?”

The exclamation from the front desk once again attracted the attention of many guests.

The people who had just watched Qin Xuan selling bracelets did not go far, so everyone quickly gathered again to see if he could bring any new surprises.

Not long after, the appraisal expert announced with a depressed look on his face: the seahorse pattern jar is a genuine blue and white porcelain from the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, and the re-evaluation is 450,000 dragon coins.

As soon as this result came out, it immediately aroused heated discussion among the onlookers.

"Fuck, I just made 1.4 million from the sale, and now I'm making another 300,000. What kind of luck is this?"

"Let's say it's possible that he is actually a very professional treasure appraiser who comes to the Treasure Pavilion specifically to pick up bargains?"

"I think so. Otherwise, how much good deeds must he have accumulated in his previous life to have such luck?"

For a moment, everyone was discussing frantically whether Qin Xuan's success in finding a bargain was due to skill or luck.

But at this moment, his eyes once again fell on a long piece of calligraphy.
