Chapter 322 Auction Matters

"Grandpa Jiang, aren't you embarrassing us? You have at least one or two hundred Huashen cups in your collection here. How do we choose them? Let alone us, even my grandpa may not be able to pick them up. It's not bad to pick out all the Kangxi cups..."

Bai Lei, who was still full of confidence at first, was dumbfounded when he saw so many Huashen cups, and he became even more dissatisfied when he heard Mr. Jiang say this. Although he was confident that his eyesight had improved a little during this time, he was relatively He said that if he was only given a cup, he could barely confirm whether it was the genuine Kangxi official kiln, but now that there are so many in front of him, he has no confidence at all.

He said that if you let Bai Lao come to pick, you may not be able to pick out one, which is not bad. It’s also dizzying. Although there is a slight difference between the Flower God Cup in the Kangxi period and the Flower God Cup in the Republic of China, the difference is so small that ordinary people can’t tell it apart. Only people like Bai Lao who have studied the Flower God Cup can distinguish it. Come out, but with so many appraisals at once, you must be dazzled, unless you don't even blink, but this is obviously impossible.

And it is obvious that these Huashen cups collected by Mr. Jiang are not just as simple as the Huashen cups in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. They are mixed with high imitation cups. easy to identify.

Not only Bai Lao, but even other experts who also have research on the Huashen Cup can't guarantee that they can pick all of them, and they can pick them all well. I'm afraid only Jiang Lao can guarantee it.

Mr. Jiang can assure you, not because he has better eyesight than Mr. Bai, but because he has collected these cups for decades and is too familiar. This is like the parents of twins. The parents of the twins can tell at a glance.

Mr. Jiang ignored Bai Lei, but just looked at Chen Ran. He was not embarrassing Chen Ran, but he just wanted to test Chen Ran. There are not many young people who can make him admire and value him, and Chen Ran is definitely one of them , or even the only one, although the two of them rarely met each other, in Mr. Jiang's heart, he had high expectations for Chen Ran. If he only used conventional means to test Chen Ran, it would not be worth his attention. Now let's see if Chen Ran will disappoint him.

"Mr. Jiang, since you said so, I'll give it a try. If I pick out all four of your Kangxi cups, you can't break your promise."

Unlike Bai Lei's dissatisfaction, Chen Ran breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Jiang Lao's words. This was naturally not a big problem for him, so he nodded and agreed.

Hearing what Chen Ran said, Mr. Jiang was not angry. Young people, as long as they have the strength, it is not necessary to have more self-confidence. The key is to be able to afford it and let it go.

Seeing that Chen Ran agreed, he just sat aside and waited.

"Chen Ran, there are so many Huashen cups, only four are Kangxi's cups, can you pick them out?" Bai Lei didn't have the confidence at all, let alone let him choose, even just looking at them, he felt A little dizzy, he didn't have confidence in himself, and he didn't have much confidence in Chen Ran, after all, even if his grandpa came, it wouldn't be good.

Chen Ran shook his head and didn't answer him, but secretly rejoiced in his heart that he went to the antique city to accumulate some energy circles before going to the airport to pick up Bai Lei. Although he was confident in his eyesight, he was not confident enough to rely on his own eyesight The extent to which they were all selected, after all, was different from when he took the jade carving competition exam. During the jade carving competition exam, the jade objects were all different, so naturally they would not be dazzled. Besides the different months of the flower god cups in front of him, Almost all of them are 'touch' the same.

When Chen Ran started to choose, Bai Lei had no choice but to choose as well, but when he looked at the first cup, he could still speciously tell that the cup in front of him was wrong, but when he looked at the second cup When he was drinking, his eyes were dazzled, and he felt that the cup seemed right. After looking again, he suddenly felt that it was wrong again, as if the first cup was right, so he had to take the first cup again to look at it. I was upset, so I didn't look at it, and just watched Chen Ran choose.

Not to mention whether it can be distinguished, but Chen Ran's unhurried attitude is obviously much better than him. If there are so many Huashen cups to be distinguished, the most important thing is undoubtedly to maintain a normal heart and a calm heart. Once 'chaotic', it is paradoxical, or even start all over again, but if you start all over again, it will be even more 'chaotic'.

Chen Ran picked them in order. Whether it was right or not, he put the cup he was looking at back in its original position. Of course, if it was right, he would write it down. With his memory, he didn't have to worry about it. wrong.

Among the 32 cups on the first floor, he found only one plum-blossom cup from the Kangxi official kiln.

After watching the first floor, Chen Ran went to the second floor.

Seeing that Chen Ran didn't pick out the plum blossom cup on the first floor, Elder Jiang thought that Chen Ran hadn't found it, so he frowned slightly, but didn't say anything.

Needless to say, Bai Lei was very anxious when he saw that Chen Ran had chosen one floor but failed to pick one. If there are so many Huashen Cups, the best way to avoid being dazzled is to rely on the first glance. No way, there are so many cups on the first floor, how could it be possible that there is not even a Kangxi cup, but he cares about it, and it is a mess. The total number of Huashen cups collected by Mr. Jiang is only four, but the collection cabinet in front of him has If there are five floors, then there must be a floor where there is no one right.

Although he was anxious, fortunately he also knew that Chen Ran must not be disturbed now, so he could only be anxious.

On the second floor, Chen Ran didn't even find a single real one, but on the third floor, he found three in a row.

Apparently, Mr. Jiang also spent a lot of thought on how to arrange these cups. Putting the three authentic cups on the same floor will undoubtedly increase the difficulty, true and false.

There are only four Huashen Cups collected by Mr. Jiang.

Originally, all four were found, so Chen Ran didn't plan to read any more, but after thinking about it, let's finish it. Needless to say, there is no one on the fourth floor.

The fifth floor...After reading the fifth floor, Chen Ran picked out the plum blossom cup on the first floor and handed it to Bai Lei. His heart is in a 'chaos', and now he can't see it clearly. It seems plausible. Chen Ran handed it to him, then this is the real one, but he always feels wrong. Fortunately, he also knows that he is not sure now. After Chen Ran took out the three cups including the hibiscus cup on the third floor, he also looked at Mr. Jiang eagerly.

Seeing Chen Ran pick out these four so accurately and directly, Mr. Jiang's eyes lit up, but he didn't say anything.

"Grandpa, are these four cups right?" Chen Ran looked at Mr. Jiang and asked in a leisurely manner.

Mr. Jiang stroked the beard on his chin, as if meditating, and nodded after a while.

Bai Lei has been looking at Mr. Jiang eagerly, and when he saw Mr. Jiang nodding, he was overjoyed, but before he had time to be happy, he suddenly heard Chen Ran say again: "Master, you have more than four Kangxi Huashen Cups in your collection." Only, should it be six? I'll pick out the other two too, don't know if it counts?"

As soon as Chen Ran's words came out, Bai Lei was stunned for a moment, while Mr. Jiang was sitting there, but suddenly stood up, stared at Chen Ran, and stood there in surprise. After a while, suddenly Haha laughed loudly: "Okay, Chen Ran, I really underestimated you. You can find out all of this. If you don't accept it, you can't do it. Look for it, and it counts when you find it, haha."

At this time, Mr. Jiang looked at Chen Ran very brightly. He asked Chen Ran to choose, but he didn't intend to embarrass Chen Ran. The main reason was to test Chen Ran. He and Bai Lao had some differences It's different, Mr. Bai always depends on his personal preferences, it's okay to see who is pleasing to the eye, and Mr. Jiang is obviously not a person who relies entirely on his personal preferences. He values ​​Chen Ran more, but the more he values, the greater his expectations. The higher the expectations, the more severe it goes without saying. Just like an elder who has high expectations for his junior, he always wants him, this junior, to learn more and learn better. That's how Mr. Jiang treated Chen Ran. , he tested Chen Ran in this way, even if Chen Ran couldn't pick one out, or picked the wrong one, his four Flower God Cups would still be transferred to Chen Ran, but the result would be different, and he would definitely be disappointed with Chen Ran in the future. Not to mention, what I want to say is that he will only transfer the first four to Chen Ran, but will not bring up the latter two.

As a result, Chen Ran not only picked out the first four, but also picked out the last two. Although they haven't been picked yet, since Chen Ran said that, he obviously already knew it.

He was surprised to be able to pick out the first four, and now Chen Ran also picked out the last two, not to mention, it was enough to move him.

Although he already overestimated this young man who taught him a lesson the first time he met, he found that he still underestimated this young man.

Didn't he know that Chen Ran was also very fortunate in his heart. Fortunately, after finding four of them, he also checked the ones below, or else he really missed two.

Originally, he didn't plan to look at the first four, but after thinking about it, he took a look, and he found two more on the fifth floor.

The Huashen cups collected by Mr. Jiang are not four at all as Mr. Bai said, but six, and these six are not repeated.

Although Chen Ran doesn't know what's going on, even if he doesn't believe his eyesight, he still believes that the energy aperture can't be mistaken. As for how Mr. Bai said that Mr. Jiang has four instead of six, then he doesn't know.

Needless to say, the latter two, Chen Ran picked them out when he heard what Mr. Jiang said.

Bai Lei, who was half-believing at first, saw Jiang Lao nodding, and then believed it, but was stunned for a while, obviously Chen Ran's move shocked him.

After reacting, he didn't have any temper towards Chen Ran at all. Now he finally understood why his grandfather and Mr. Jiang valued Chen Ran so much, not to mention them, even he was convinced, alas, hit people D.

Now that the six cups were selected, Mr. Jiang naturally had nothing to say, and transferred them to Chen Ran, which cost Chen Ran a total of 290 million.

After transferring the account, Mr. Jiang didn't let Chen Ran leave, but dragged Chen Ran to see his collection. Chen Ran was also happy, but he would inevitably be warned not to follow crooked ways. Naturally, it is also indispensable.

Fortunately, it was getting late, and after a while, Elder Jiang could only let Chen Ran and Bai Lei leave.

This time, although he was put to the test by Mr. Jiang, the result was pretty good. Not to mention getting four of Mr. Jiang's Flower God Cups, he even got two Flower God Cups by accident, which is also a surprise. Yes, Chen Ran is also quite satisfied, don't look at just two, you must know that the surviving Huashen Cup has been searched by him in this way, but it is even rarer.

Leaving Jiang's old home, Chen Ran and Bai Lei ate at the restaurant together. Bai Lei was a little stimulated and drank a little more. Of course, he didn't drink too much, and he still had to drive.

After dinner, Bai Lei asked Chen Ran if he wanted to go to other places. Chen Ran shook his head, and now the only one Bai Lei told him was the one who had eleven Flora cups. Chen Ran didn't even remember it, because they were all from some museums, so there were too many involvements.

Chen Ran told Bai Lei to let him take a good rest first, after all he had been running for so many days.

Back at the apartment, Chen Ran was thinking about how to auction it off. Although he hadn't collected enough seven sets yet, he had collected five sets. How to auction it was a problem.

Whether to take all of them directly to the auction house, or to get one set from the auction house first and then take the rest after the auction, is a question of not hiding the truth from the auction house.

The reason why there is such a consideration is that no matter which one is, when publicizing, it will definitely not publicize several sets, but only one set. Although all the publicity is a big sensation, it is not conducive to the auction, because the people who come to the auction Everyone knows that there are several sets. At the time of auction, it is difficult to get a price for the first few sets, so we will promote one set first.

Such a rare treasure can attract people with only one set.

If all of them were brought to the auction house, Chen Ran was worried that the news would be leaked out before the auction. In that case, it would be better to directly publicize that there are so many sets.

It's not impossible.

Just like the two Huashen cups of Hanhai Auction House, Bai Lao can get the news in advance, and every auction house probably has such a relationship.

Of course, this is just Chen Ran's preliminary idea. What to do, we have to wait for him to check the information. If he only tells the auction house to auction one set, then it is undoubtedly time to start promoting it. After all, his time is not enough. It is very generous, and it is already the end of the month, and there are still more than ten days before He Zhenhua's agreed time.

He was thinking about this question when he received a call from Cao Huiyao.

"If you don't want your uncle."

This sentence was only heard on the phone before being hung up...
