Chapter 162: Baoguzhai

Chapter One Hundred and Sixty Two
Half an hour later, the red Ferrari swept in like a gust of wind, and stopped steadily in front of an antique shop called Baoguzhai.
The co-pilot door opened, Zheng Yingbo's face was pale, his legs softened and walked out of it, wiping cold sweat.
Just now Li Tianchen drove a red Ferrari in the traffic, with ease and speed, but he frightened Zheng Yingbo, who has always liked excitement, and his face was desolate.
"Damn, it's so good, this is even more enjoyable for racing cars or Need for Speed, but...a bit scary."
Zheng Yingbo murmured something, just now it was dangerous. As long as Li Tianchen made any operation error, it would be the result of car crash.
Li Tianchen got out of the car with a smile on his mouth. He just drove the car deliberately to frighten Zheng Yingbo. He didn't dare to tell him not to race in the future, but at least give him a bitter taste. Be cautious.
After all, Zheng Yingbo is Zheng Yingying's second brother, if something happens, Zheng Yingying will be sad.
"Tsk tusk, Zheng Yingbo, you came here in broad daylight, the sun came out from the west?"
A young man walked out of Baoguzhai, slightly fat, fair-faced, wearing glasses, and said to Zheng Yingbo with a smirk.
Zheng Yingbo unceremoniously gave him a middle finger, and said solemnly: "I'm here to come to you, this is serious business, my sister...sister classmate, plan to buy some antiques from you."
The young man has long noticed that Li Tianchen, who can drive a Ferrari, is not rich or expensive. He naturally didn't dare to neglect, smiled and stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, my name is Guan Guoan."
"Hello, Li Tianchen." Li Tianchen smiled and shook hands with him.
Guan Guoan was secretly surprised that Li Tianchen and Zheng Yingying were classmates, and they were actually interested in antiques. He said, "It just so happened that a few famous antiques came here today and brought some new things."
The two were then invited by Guan Guoan into Baoguzhai and came to the back room.
I saw a few elderly people sitting in the room, and a few objects were placed on the central table, whispering.
Seeing them coming in, these elders all took a glance, but did not pay attention, they whispered to themselves, commented on the objects, and expressed their opinions.
Guan Guoan greeted the two of them to sit down and said respectfully to one of the elderly: "Lao Ji, do you think these three things are genuine?"
The old man had a gray beard and an ancient cloth robe. He was quite immortal. He slowly said, "This big four-legged copper incense burner with dragon patterns in Ming Dynasty is equipped with ivory fire chopsticks. It should be authentic, but it's worth it. Two to three million. The remaining two pieces, one is a bronze mirror with sea beasts and grapes, and the other is a bronze statue of Li Bai drunk. Although there is no mark, they are all antiquities in the middle of the Ming Dynasty. They are not worth any money. Ten thousand yuan is pretty good."
Several other elders nodded one after another when they heard the words, obviously agreeing with the judgment of this season old.
Guan Guoan looked disappointed, "So these three objects add up to three or four million? I thought I had received a great treasure. It seems that I am blind."
"Hehe, the antique industry relies on eyesight and experience." Ji Lao smiled and said, "You are still young, and there is nothing wrong with it. If you are willing, how about these three objects? I just lack them in my hands. These three similar objects are enough."
Guan Guoan said: "Then your bid?"
"Haha, let's do it like this. How about I give you three million if you add up the three?" Ji Lao said with a smile.
Guan Guoan frowned and smiled bitterly: "Ji Lao, when I bought these three objects, it cost 3.5 million."
"Then you are not going to sell it?" Ji Lao said.
Guan Guoan hesitated. Ji Lao is one of the few old people in the antique industry in Hong Kong. He is highly respected and has a close relationship with Bao Gu Zhai. This is the first time he has made a shot by himself, so I especially invited Ji Lao to come and see. Look, appreciate it.
There is no lack of ostentation, but I didn't expect that I would hit my eyes and even post 500,000 shots.
Li Tianchen suddenly said: "The incense burner and the bronze mirror of the sea beast and grape are from the Qing Dynasty, but the bronze statue of Li Bai drunk is not."
Both Li Tianchen and Zheng Yingbo were young people. After they came in, Ji Lao and others thought they were Guan Guoan's friends, they didn't take it to heart. Unexpectedly, he suddenly spoke and refuted Ji Lao's judgment.
Ji Lao's brows suddenly wrinkled slightly, his eyes glared sharply at Li Tianchen, and said slowly: "Guoan, what do you call this young man?"
Guan Guoan was also taken aback. He thought that Li Tianchen and Zheng Yingbo were a rich second-generation, just buying antiques for fun. How could he have thought that he would speak in front of so many old people in the antique industry.
"These two are my friends, come here to buy some antiques to play with."
Ji Lao said, glanced contemptuously at Li Tianchen, shook his head and smiled: "A little yellow-haired kid would dare to slander in front of me."
The other people all laughed at each other, quite amused at Li Tianchen's ignorance.
Zheng Yingbo was suddenly embarrassed.
Li Tianchen said indifferently: "This drunken bronze statue of Li Bai is indeed not a Ming dynasty. You can recognize it if you look at it carefully."
Ji Lao's face sank, and he said displeased: "Young man, if you want to buy some antiques to play with, you can go to the front hall, this is not your right place."
Li Tianchen couldn't help turning his head to look at Ji Lao when he heard the words. He was surprised and vaguely guessed something.
Originally, he just thought that Ji Lao hadn't seen the true origin of this drunken bronze statue of Li Bai, but now it seems that this Ji always deliberately did this, to confuse Guoan.
"Someone in my season has been in the antiques industry for decades and has missed no more than three times. This drunken bronze statue of Li Bai was from the 26th year of Xuande in the middle of the Ming Dynasty. Doubt my judgment?"
Ji Lao is well-founded and sure way.
Li Tianchen shook his head and smiled, and said: "The back of this drunk bronze statue of Li Bai is imprinted. You can see the time limit. It does have the words Xuande of the Ming Dynasty, but judging from the slightly mottled color and the exposed parts, This drunken bronze statue of Li Bai was made at the Tongling smelting site during the Tianyou period of the Tang Dynasty."
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone present changed drastically.
The expressions of the old people were shaking, their eyes instantly fell on the drunken bronze statue of Li Bai on the table, their expressions focused and extremely serious.
Guan Guoan was surprised and puzzled.
You know, there is a difference of nearly a thousand years between the Ming Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty. Although the bronzes in the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty were relatively mature and outstanding in all respects, the prices of the more ancient Tang Dynasty objects were naturally much higher. .
If the needle is from the Tianyou period of the Tang Dynasty, it is far more than one million.
