"Cosmetic boxes, as you can see, are the boxes used by ancient women to decorate their faces. Historically, such cosmetic boxes existed as early as the Eastern Han Dynasty. Most of the cosmetic boxes in that era were round or oval, and their shapes Just like the structure of the foundation mirror box we see now, in the later Tang Dynasty, the makeup box began to extend to a polygonal shape."

"The materials manufactured have also developed from simple wood to later gold, silver and copper makeup boxes, and emerald and cinnabar makeup boxes that are more difficult to make, but the rosewood makeup boxes are the most used, such as The one in front of us is a kind of black lacquered sandalwood material among rosewood."

"This black lacquered sandalwood is different from ordinary red sandalwood. It does not need to be painted with black paint. Its wood color is as strong as ink, and the surface is smooth and smooth after a little polishing. It can not fade for a hundred years. The price of black lacquered sandalwood is also several times higher than that of rosewood, and the current market price of Panjiayuan has reached 1200 per gram, so the cost of this material needs to be estimated at nearly 60!"

"Let me talk about the age of this makeup box. The black lacquered wood has obvious cracks. The wooden material can be faked, but the cracks on the surface of the wood cannot be imitated by any high-tech. From this point of view It can be judged that its age should be 200 years now! It is calculated that it should be the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty."

"It stands to reason that it is extremely difficult for the makeup box from the Jiaqing period to be handed down to the present. In addition, it is extremely rare black lacquer sandalwood, and its appearance is still intact. The estimated value should not be less than 100 million!"

100 million!

As soon as Mei Junhong's estimated price came out, it immediately aroused a lot of discussion.

"Yes! The attributes that Mei Junhong appraised are indeed correct. Jiaqing's makeup box is also made of black lacquered sandalwood, and its appearance is 100%. There is nothing wrong with the asking price of [-] million. A powerful master can give this estimate, but is the identification of the fourth treasure really that simple?"

"The two masters in front have overturned one after another. I don't think the Royal Group can solve such a simple problem! Mei Junhong is still careless. There must be some unknown secret hidden in it. This is like the Olympic mathematics competition. A big question out of a primary school student's question! This is simply impossible!"

"That's right!"

Mei Junhong took over the words of the master at the scene: "It's really not that simple!"

After Mei Junhong finished speaking, she put the makeup box flat on the center of the booth with one hand: "Everyone, just now I used the two thin strings I carried with me to play on this black lacquered sandalwood. The pitch-black board, as well as the boards on the other three sides, reflect different sounds!"

"After careful identification, I found that there is a problem with the crispness of this board, and the sound from the other three boards is obviously much darker. If you look closely, you can understand everything! Everyone! If I read correctly , these three boards should have been soaked in water! Although the surface has been treated very clean, the hardness of the black lacquered sandalwood has obviously undergone a qualitative change, which may not be discernible with the naked eye, but the professional equipment of the auction house can clearly identify it from!"

Mei Junhong put the black lacquer makeup box back to its original position: "The value of black lacquer sandalwood soaked in water for a long time will shrink by half, especially if it is placed in a dry space, the structure will be deformed, so Taking all these factors into consideration, the final evaluation price of your company's black lacquered sandalwood makeup case should be 23w!"

Mei Junhong reported the final price, and Tom Liu, who was standing beside him, was shocked immediately. He raised his hand and showed the company's reserve price. The company's reserve price was 23.6w, and the valuation error was just within the specified range.

The plain-looking Mei Junhong was actually right!

The masters at the scene couldn't help standing up and applauding. Although Mei Junhong is a woman, she swept away the haze of failure of the previous two masters and taught the arrogant Tom Liu a lesson.

"It's great! Master Mei is great! He is indeed a hero of the girls' school, and his courage and strength are admirable!"

"Master Mei did a great job! It's finally a face in Yanjing's antique circle. Doesn't it mean that there is no one in Yanjing's antique circle? Our Master Mei is a good hand."

The host Tom Liu also gave a thumbs up with a laugh: "It's amazing! Master Mei is really amazing, and the Royal Appreciation Company will keep his word and fulfill his promise. In this way, we will give away this black lacquer sandalwood makeup box. Here it is! Please accept it!"

"I do not need!"

Mei Junhong didn't even blink her brows: "We have no shortage of treasures in Yanjing City. What kind of rare treasures have I never seen? There is no shortage of such defective products that have been soaked in water. I won't take your things. I just want a word from you."

"Ah...Master Mei? What do you say?" Tom Liu was puzzled, shaking the microphone up and down and making a gesture of helplessness: "Master Mei, I don't understand what you mean?"

"Just now you said that Yanjing's masters are not as good as the Royal Appreciation Team, right? Now, please take that sentence back and apologize to every master present here!"

"Forehead……"

Tom Liu opened his mouth wide. He was usually eloquent, but he didn't expect to be defeated by Mei Junhong at the critical moment.

The masters at the scene also booed: "Apologize and apologize! You must apologize! Who said that the masters in Yanjing City are not as good as you! Those who have the ability have not yet stood up! Who gave you the courage to speak so boldly! Apologize! You must apologize! Otherwise today Don’t even think about holding this exchange conference!”

"Take back what I said! Apology, apology!"

"It's okay, everyone! It's okay, it's okay!" Tom Liu is not a vegetarian either, he waved his hand and said with a gesture: "I personally don't think you have won, I can only say that Master Mei has made a correct judgment. Keep what I just said, because I know that the Royal Appreciation Team will definitely win! There are still three rounds of exchange competitions, and I, Tom Liu, swear here! If you representatives from Yanjing can win the exchange competition! Then I, Tom Liu, will formally apologize to you! It’s useless to say anything now, and the exchange match later will be a real battle!”

There was nothing wrong with Tom Liu's words. The warm-up game came to an end, and the first round of the exchange game kicked off immediately after.

……

The warm-up match was over, and when it was approaching eleven o'clock at noon, Shen Qiu still failed to show up, and the faces of the old scholar's people became more and more embarrassing.

The old scholar made a decisive decision: "It's too late! Xiaoqing, hurry up and inform Chairman Liu Yangdong, and let him find a master who can replace Shen Qiu in the shortest possible time. Shen Qiu's round is very important! Once you lose, you will be defeated." It’s like booking a defeat in advance!”

"Uncle Lan, we can arrange for the third master to play. The strength of the third master is equal to that of Brother Shen. Maybe we can..."

"Don't talk about it, Wu Laosan can't do it! No one can tell what his state is. The Qin family can help now...Xiaoqing, please communicate quickly and let the Qin family find a master!"

The first round of the Royal Exchange Conference begins.

Tom Liu walked up to the booth again with a microphone in his hand: "Men and ladies, the biggest highlight of today's exchange conference is the uncertainty factor. For example, no one would have thought that the generals we sent in the first round would be This man! Everyone welcomes the soul of the Royal Appreciation Society! Jefferson! Master Jefferson!"

Jefferson!

A few people around the old scholar shouted at the same time. Everyone in the courtyard thought that the first round was a contest between Lan Yue and Els. Who knew that England did not play cards according to common sense at all, and the first one to come out to challenge was actually Is it Jefferson?

This can be regarded as completely disrupting the plan here. The Royal Appreciation Group was the first to send Jefferson, so who would they send to fight?
