“General Manager Gao is flattering, even without me, today, General Manager Gao would still be safe and sound.” Qin Li immediately took the key, “Many thanks to Mr Gao for the gift.”
“This is the consultation fee you should take, don’t thank me.” Gao Haitian laughed.
When the surrounding people saw this, one by one, they glanced back and forth at Qin Li.
Who was the youth who made both Master Han and General Manager Gao praise him like this?
The crowd was still thinking, when the curtain on the first floor of the hall slowly came to open, and the Treasure Appraisal Exchange Conference was considered to have begun.
The entire first floor of the hall was filled with glass counters.
It was full of all kinds of antiques and paintings.
Qin Li’s few people immediately walked towards the first floor as well, and at the end of the first floor, there was also an auction house.
The auctions were all for authentic artefacts that had been bought from this side of the counter at a low price, and whose veils were later unveiled.
However, there were also cases where high prices were purchased and ended up being fakes.
“Brother Qin, can you really help me introduce Sect Master Xia?” Han Yu said as he pulled Qin Li, both eyes glowing.
Qin Li raised his eyebrows, how could he not feel that this Han Yu’s eyes were not right.
“You’re not interested in that Sect Master Xia, are you?” Qin Li teased.
Han Yu instantly blushed.
Qin Li fiercely crouched, and he had really guessed correctly!
“Miss Xia is only thirty years old, and unmarried, she is a famous Feng Shui master on Hong Kong Island, and her hand of divination is perfect.”
Han Yu spoke, “It’s estimated that the young talents of the entire Hong Kong Island will be very appreciative of her.”
Qin Li nodded, “Since I said that, I will definitely take you to see Sect Master Xia.”
“Alright, then I’ll wait for your news.” Han Yu said smilingly before pulling Qin Li towards the counter.
“To thank you for everything today, you can pick whatever you want from this counter, I’ll pay for it!”
Qin Li raised his eyebrows, “Then I’ll be polite!”
“Feel free to feel free.” Han Yu laughed.
Qin Li immediately walked towards the counter.
Inside the glass counter, there was a wide array of things, snuff bottles and alabaster pots abounded.
At a glance, even someone like Master Han would inevitably look away.
Qin Li simply didn’t bother to look with his naked eyes and instead used his aura to perceive.
Frustratingly quickly within this, he saw a set of tea utensils.
A celadon tea set with white cranes and landscapes carved on it, which looked lifelike at a glance.
“How much is this set of tea set?” Qin Li points to this tea set.
The counter staff immediately looked at it, and then apologised to, “Sir, this set of records is a high imitation, if you want the real thing, you can look at the others.”
“No, I quite like this one.” Qin Li laughed.
“This set totals one hundred thousand.” The counter staff said, “Although it’s a high imitation, it’s made of good blue and white porcelain.”
Qin Li immediately nodded and directly asked for a transfer.
“I’ll take this set of tea sets, pack it up for me.”
A person suddenly walks up next to him, about the same age as Han Youfeng, tilting his chin as he speaks, seeming to look down on anyone in his eyes.
The tea set that this person was looking at to get packed was exactly what Qin Li was looking at.
“Sorry.” The counter staff said, “This set of tea sets, has been fancy by this gentleman, you can ……”
“Fancy? Paid for it?” The old man coldly grunted.
The counter staff shut up at once, Qin Li had indeed not paid the money.
“This …… senior.” Han Yu stared at the old man and said, “There’s a first come, first served in everything, we’ve got our eye on it and are preparing to pay for it. If you want, you can choose another ah.”
“Heh, you also said that you are preparing to pay the money, so it’s not yours yet, it’s not yours, why do I have to choose another, I still have my eye on this!”
Qin Li looked at this old man’s shameless appearance, directly took out a bank card: “Trouble swiping the card.”
“Wait!” The old man frowned, “You kid, do you know what it means to respect the old and love the young.”
“It wouldn’t be fun if you morally kidnapped, right!” Han Yu frowned.
In a moment of clamour, many people around were attracted over.
After a few questions, they realised what was going on.
Seeing this, Han Youfeng and Gao Haitian also walked over.
Upon seeing the old man, Han Youfeng instantly narrowed his eyes, “I wondered who it was, so it’s you thick-skinned guy.”
“Who are you calling cheeky?” The old man turned around and saw Han Youfeng, and immediately sneered, “Oh, so it’s you old undead!”
Obviously the two knew each other.
“This person is?” Han Yu frowned.
Han Youfeng smiled, “This, is the one I told you about back then, at the Treasure Appraisal Exchange Conference, the cheeky one who took a fake and refused to say it was the real thing, the one who everyone said was a pseudo-treasure appraisal master, Hou Sen.”
Hou Sen?
The surrounding people heard the words and immediately realised, Hou Sen is also one of the more famous treasure appreciation masters in Hong Kong Island.
But many of the things that came out under his command were later identified by experts as fakes.
His reputation can be said to be notorious.
What’s more, because of the extreme shamelessness, often make trouble, so that the peers are exceptionally rejected.
It was just that he didn’t expect that this old fellow would also come to today’s Exchange Conference, and even got into a fight with Qin Li.
Qin Li’s side watched the people bickering while he had already paid the money.
As soon as he turned his head, the old man’s eyes widened, “Who told you to pay, this is the one I’m looking at!”
Han Youfeng took a step forward and blocked Qin Li behind him, “You’re shameless when it comes to us old guys, you’re shameless when it comes to the juniors as well, do you even know if you’re ashamed!”
“Hmph! I’m dedicating my life for the antiques of China!” The old man coldly rebuked, “This kid, even if he bought this, he would just go back and display it as a fake, but this is clearly a real one!”
Qin Li immediately raised his eyebrows and looked at the old man.
Han Yu laughed, “Just now the counter staff clearly said that this is a high imitation.”
Qin Li, however, shook his head and stepped forward, “You say this is authentic? Do you know where it’s real?”
The old man was asked this, and immediately tilted his chin and said, “Well, since you asked, then I’ll tell you! It’s also good to show you all that I, Hou Sen, am not a prodigal!”
Han Youfeng couldn’t help but snort, “You’re not a pseudo treasure appreciation master with a false reputation.”
“You!” Hou Sen was instantly furious, “Han Youfeng, watch out for me!”
Qin Li very cooperatively placed the set of gaps on the table, and the surrounding area was also surrounded by people at the moment.
A rare treasure appraisal by a master treasure appraiser was something they didn’t want to miss.
They could brag about it for a long time!
“You watch it for me!” Hou Shen gritted his teeth and took out a magnifying glass, pointing it out to Han Youfeng little by little.
“First look at its colour ……”
Hou Shen said word for word, and with each word, the people around him couldn’t help but stare.
Han Youfeng’s eyes also shifted several times.
“So, this is the real thing!”
Hou Shen wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead.
Han Youfeng’s eyes sank down, “I didn’t think you really didn’t look away this time, this really is a genuine piece. However, it’s not a Tang Three Colours, much less any special blue and white porcelain.”
“If it was auctioned, it would only be more than a million at most.”
Hou Sen coldly grunted, “That’s also a genuine piece!”
Seeing this, Qin Li also smiled and shook his head, Han Yu was just about to ask Qin Li what was wrong when he saw this.
Hou Sen then saw Qin Li shaking his head, and immediately his face turned furious: “Kid, what do you mean by shaking your head? Is it saying that my old man is lying!”
“Not really.” Qin Li said, “It’s just that, this blue and white tea set, even though it’s said to be authentic, your point of entry isn’t right.”
Entry point?
What does that mean?
The people around us are baffled too.
Han Youfeng’s eyes immediately lit up, “Little friend Qin, is there another insight?”
“Insights do not dare to be, just for this senior, I Qin Li into the blue and white tea set, is not what the senior said nothing.”
“Heh! I see that you only realised it was important when you heard me say it was true!” Hou Sen snorted coldly.
Qin Li narrowed his eyes, secretly saying that this old man was a big old man, why was he still so small-minded.
At that moment, he also warmed up a bit to anger and spoke bluntly, “Then I will let everyone see, in my Qin Li’s eyes, this tea set, when it looks like!”
Qin Li’s words fell, turned around and asked for hot water from over the counter.
He then filled the teapot with water, and then used the water inside the teapot to fill the four cups.
The crowd looked on in uncertainty, and Hou Sen’s old face was filled with disdain.
“Just pouring tea, what’s the difference?”
Qin Li sniffed in silence as he placed the four cups and the teapot in position after pouring the water.
Then, an incredible scene occurred!
The crowd immediately saw that the white gas emerging from the eyes of the teapot’s spout and lid, and the white gas emerging from the cups unexpectedly combined into a white crane in mid-air!
This white crane, even kept fluttering because of the wind in the air!
Beside the white crane, there were also high mountains and springs floating non-stop!
Not only that, but the white gas that came out of it, slowly landed but didn’t disappear, and coalesced into a thick white smoke throughout the ground of the teapot and the cup.
This scene looked as if it was a fairyland on earth, with white cranes shining their wings!
Everyone instantly froze, Han Youfeng and Han Yu and the others, even more incredibly grew their mouths.
Qin Li straightened up and looked at Hou Sen, “This, is how this tea set looks in my eyes. I wonder what senior calls it?”
Hou Sen’s face instantly turned iron blue at his words.
Just now, he had also said sentence after sentence that Qin Li was spoiling the tea set, saying that Qin Li didn’t understand it at all.
And now ……
Everyone immediately looked at Hou Shen, wanting to know what he could say.
