Chapter 382: Appraisal

"No problem," Xu Tian looked around at the other high-level officials in the conference room: "Is there anyone else who wants to participate in the bet?"

"There is me," Du Zhongyan sneered: "If you lose, get out of the Tang family!"

A pretty boy who knows nothing about antiques, where does he get the confidence to think he can find antiques more valuable than that set of Song dynasty blue-and-white porcelain?

They had searched for half a year before getting the news of that set of Song dynasty blue-and-white porcelain. He didn't believe Xu Tian could find antiques qualified to be the treasure of the museum in just a few days.

Hearing Xu Tian and Tang Jihuai and others making a bet, Jiang Yan and Chen Sanping and others were very shocked.

Especially Jiang Yan, who originally thought that he called the Tang family high-level officials to put pressure on Xu Tian, and he would obediently compromise, but didn't expect Xu Tian to be so rampant. Not only did he not admit his mistake, but he actually dared to spout nonsense and bet with the high-level officials.

And Chen Sanping saw this scene of Xu Tian and the Tang family high-level officials betting, and just shook his head disdainfully.

It seems the Tang family is truly declining, otherwise how could they fall to the point of letting Xu Tian, a pretty boy without qualifications, act recklessly, and even dare to ride on the heads of the Tang family elders.

However, this is after all the Tang family's internal family business. Even if these people tear their faces and fight, it has nothing to do with him.

And since that set of Song dynasty blue-and-white porcelain has already been resold to Li Wancai, no matter whether the Tang family regrets it later, they have no reason to come to him to negotiate again.

Whether it's the Tang family fighting internally, or Xu Tian softening his stance to beg Li Wancai to transfer the porcelain, he just needs to watch the show from the side.

"Good, Jiang Yan, don't hang up the video call. We also want to verify what kind of rare treasures can be in the batch of porcelain Xu Tian bought!" Du Zhongyan said coldly.

"Understood," Jiang Yan promised, asked the clerk in the shop for a mobile phone stand, adjusted the angle of the mobile phone video, and just happened to let the Tang family high-level officials on the other end see the situation in the shop.

And there were less than two hours left before the private auction started in the afternoon, and more and more people came to Linglong Zhai in advance, and even tourists on the antique street heard that Linglong Zhai had a situation and ran over one after another wanting to watch the excitement.

Xu Tian wrote a check for five million, turned to look at Mu Qiu nian, and said: "Manager Mu, have you made a decision? Are you selling these porcelain pieces of yours or not?"

"Mr. Xu, do you really want to buy them all? I have plenty of time. Actually, you can choose slowly..."

Mu Qiu nian was even more unwilling to let the other party put all his bets on this batch of porcelain after hearing the words of Xu Tian and the Tang family elders just now.

He knew the goods he had on hand very well. These Qing dynasty porcelain pieces might be relatively popular if taken to ordinary auctions, but compared to that set of Song dynasty blue-and-white porcelain, they were simply heaven and earth, and their value couldn't be compared at all.

Although this five million was also very tempting to him, if he could really trade with Xu Tian and get this five million, it could not only solve the problem of rent and the wages of the employees in the shop, but even allow his antique shop to come back to life and give him enough funds to acquire antiques again.

But he didn't want Xu Tian to be blamed by the Tang family high-level officials because he acquired these porcelain pieces of his.

"No need, I want to buy them all," Xu Tian handed the check to Mu Qiu nian.

"Alright then, I will have someone draft a contract for you."

Mu Qiu nian took the check and turned to instruct the clerk beside him to go back to the shop to get the contract.

Because the transaction amount was only five million, it didn't need to be a big deal. As long as Xu Tian checked and confirmed that there was no problem with the porcelain, both parties would sign the contract, and the transaction would be completed.

And Li Wancai was also complacent because he got the precious Song dynasty blue-and-white porcelain, and even called a few experts who were on good terms with him, asking them to come over to do an appraisal for this set of Song dynasty blue-and-white porcelain together.

Although he had already determined that this set of porcelain had no problems before, if this set of porcelain could be appraised by those well-known experts, it would be equivalent to plating another layer of gold on the precious porcelain.

After having the appraisal certificate issued by the experts, he could also sell it at a higher price when trading with the rich merchant in Yinghua Country.

Of course, being able to invite those few well-known experts in Y Country to issue an appraisal certificate also required money. Li Wancai spent one million to invite these people.

Originally, according to the normal process, the experts would perform the appraisal tomorrow. However, in order to slap Xu Tian's face in front of everyone, he specifically called just now and begged the experts to come to the scene to appraise the set of Song dynasty blue-and-white porcelain in his hands immediately.

So-called money can make ghosts push the mill. Under the high reward, those experts naturally agreed and rushed over at the fastest speed.

Seeing those few experts enter the door, Chen Sanping immediately understood Li Wancai's intention and couldn't help but look at Xu Tian provocatively.

"Mr. Xu, since you are so confident in your own eye, why don't you take this opportunity to let these few experts appraise the porcelain pieces you bought? I am also very curious about what the rare treasure you call more valuable than Song dynasty blue-and-white porcelain looks like."

"These few are all famous antique appraisal experts in Y Country. Usually, you can't invite them even if you want to," Li Wancai also took the opportunity to incite: "The opportunity is rare, and you can also let them issue an appraisal certificate for your porcelain. As for this fee, just count it on me. It's a meeting gift for guests from afar."

Li Wancai acted very generous, but in reality, he was going to do an appraisal for the porcelain in his hands anyway, so letting those experts appraise Xu Tian's batch of porcelain was just a matter of convenience and didn't cost much money at all.

Of course, his main purpose in doing this was to slap Xu Tian's face in public through those experts and make him unable to step down.

You have to know that Mu Qiu nian's batch of porcelain all came from the end of the Qing dynasty. Even if appraised, nothing would come of it. As for the value, at most thirty or forty thousand, it couldn't be compared with the set of Song dynasty blue-and-white porcelain in his hands at all.

He wanted to see how Xu Tian, who was still certain just now, would end up after hearing the conclusion given by the experts.

"Boss Li's kindness is hard to refuse, so I am naturally willing to let these experts appraise it for me, but..."

"But what? You wouldn't be afraid to let the experts appraise it, would you?" Li Wancai was aggressive.

"Of course not afraid, but what if there is a treasure that has never appeared in the world in the batch of porcelain I bought, and even the experts can't appraise it, then what should we do?"

"Mr. Xu, how about this? I also know a few appraisal masters who are qualified to issue professional appraisal certificates. I will call them now and invite them over. With so many professional appraisal masters present, there will definitely be no problems." ===== CHAPTER 383 =====
