Chapter 52 Appraisal Program (Part 1)
A carving of Hetian jade Guanyin, a bronze mirror of the Eight Diagrams of the Han Dynasty, and a string of Vajra Bodhi bracelets.
This is what Su Xiaofan has gained all morning.
It's not that Pan Yuan only has these few items that can enter the Yunyang Pond, but that Su Xiaofan is unwilling to take any more.
The purpose of Su Xiaofan's visit to Pan Garden today was to pick up some repairable antiques and bring them back to Luochuan.
But Su Xiaofan couldn't hold it back for a while, and threw the gossip bronze mirror into the cultivation pool for cultivation, which also cost 10 repair points.
But originally Su Xiaofan had the idea of finding a few objects for experiments, so it was not a loss.
After shopping all morning, Su Xiaofan took out his mobile phone to check the addresses of several other antique markets while having lunch.
To be honest, Pan Yuan is very famous, but it is really difficult to pick up on Pan Yuan.
Antique lovers across the country are like a sieve for panning for gold sand, going back and forth over and over again. I don’t know how many times they have sifted in Panyuan.
Even if Pan Yuan had leaks, they would have been screened out long ago.
Su Xiaofan is already very satisfied to be able to find these few things that can be stored in Pan Yuan.
In the afternoon, Su Xiaofan is going to visit several other markets.
Compared to Pan Yuan, like the flea market in the north, there are still loopholes to pick up.
Of course, Su Xiaofan will not go to the northern flea market, maybe the news about the brush washer and pen container has already spread.
However, Yanjing naturally has great benefits. In addition to Panyuan and the northern flea market, Yanjing has at least a dozen places selling antiques.
Su Xiaofan is not greedy either, he is going to stop if he picks up any more leaks, and then find a way to sell, after all, he still owes more than 100,000 foreign debts.
"Huh? Uncle Jing?"
After eating, Su Xiaofan's cell phone rang suddenly when he was about to follow the navigation to take the subway.
Because of Yin Shi’s matter, Su Xiaofan asked Zheng Dagang to ask for Uncle Jing’s mobile phone number, and directly saved it in the blacklist.
But now Uncle Jing is his creditor, and Su Xiaofan released Uncle Jing's phone number a few days ago after serving his sentence.
"Xiao Su, where are you?" Uncle Jing asked after the call was connected.
"It's in Pan Yuan."
Su Xiaofan said with a smile: "I owe you money, Uncle Jing, I have to pick up a few more leaks, so I can pay back the money."
Su Xiaofan has been doing business in the antique market for several years. The reason why his business is good is that Su Xiaofan likes to think about people's psychology.
Sometimes you repeatedly emphasize one thing, and when it really happens, it will give people a psychological hint, and the thing happened not abruptly.
It's like Su Xiaofan talks about picking up leaks all day long, but it will make Uncle Jing feel that this kid is lucky.
"Want to pay back the money by picking up the leak? You might as well buy a lottery ticket."
Jing Shizhen replied angrily.
"Uncle Jing, the money I bought for the meteorite was all stolen money."
Su Xiaofan was not angry either, and said with a smile.
"Then... that's your **** luck!"
Uncle Jing was a little speechless by what Su Xiaofan said, because it was the truth.
"Uncle Jing, you have something to do with me? It can't be debt collection, right?"
Su Xiaofan couldn't read the mobile phone navigation when he was on the phone, so he didn't go down when he stood at the subway entrance.
"Hundreds of thousands, what about me?"
Jing Shizhen said, "You have been in Yanjing these two days, right? I have something to ask for your help."
"Ah? Uncle Jing, what do you need my help for? I plan to return to Luochuan tomorrow."
Su Xiaofan was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and said: "I am here to send my sister to school this time, and I am ashamed to stay in the school hostel all the time. I am planning to go back tomorrow."
"Is there something to do when you go back?" Jing Shizhen asked.
"Uncle Jing, I still have business at the Luochuan market."
Su Xiaofan said: "Brother Gang has called me several times, asking when I will go back, and he is going to take me to find some temples and find some magic tools for you."
Su Xiaofan was not lying, Zheng Dagang was indeed urging him to return to Luochuan these days.
Zheng Dagang witnessed the transaction of Zhao Hengjian and Su Xiaofan buying magic weapons last time, and was greatly stimulated.
So after returning home, Zheng Dagang decided to upgrade his business from selling fake magical artifacts to specializing in real magical artifacts.
In the words of Zheng Dagang, Luochuan is the ancient capital of nine dynasties and the seat of the Buddhist ancestral home. There are not many other things, but temples can be seen everywhere.
Zheng Dagang’s understanding of magic tools is nothing more than seeking good luck, avoiding evil, catching ghosts and subduing demons. Naturally, there are the most such objects in temples.
That's why Zheng Dagang put his hopes for a second career in Luochuan's large and small temples.
During the days when Su Xiaofan came to Yanjing, Zheng Dagang has already done a good job... no, it is to explore the road, and it is not right... well, it is to do a good job of market research.
Zheng Dagang has recorded hundreds of temples and dozens of Taoist temples in Luochuan in his small notebook.
"Hey, let me tell you, you two, don't mess around."
Hearing Su Xiaofan's words, Jing Shizhen said dumbfoundedly: "Even if there are magical artifacts in those places, they are kept secret, so don't bother, I have something to ask you for help."
"Uncle Jing, tell me that I haven't bought a high-speed rail ticket yet." Su Xiaofan couldn't think of anything he could do to help Uncle Jing.
"It's like this." Jing Shizhen said: "Yanjing TV has a program recently and invited me to be a guest..."
Su Xiaofan found a place that wasn't so noisy, and listened to Uncle Jing finish his speech.
It turns out that in recent years, TV treasure appraisal programs have been very popular, no matter which channel they are on, the ratings are very high, and even CCTV has a special treasure appraisal column.
Yanjing is located in the cultural center of the country, and naturally it is not far behind. In recent years, there have been treasure appraisal programs broadcast, and the response has been very good.
However, there are too many treasure-appreciating programs, and the audience also has aesthetic fatigue. If you want to attract the audience, you need something different.
So some time ago, Yanjing put on a show of smashing antiques on the spot, which really attracted the audience.
But there is also a lot of controversy. The expert who is not a professional seems to have "tempered" other people's real antiques.
Then the matter became serious, and it seemed that it ended up in court, and even Yanjingtai suffered a bit.
The show about smashing antiques can no longer be run, but the show about antiques must continue, after all, there are ratings.
So Yanjing TV launched a special treasure appraisal program for antiques, and each episode only identified one type of antiques.
For example, calligraphy and painting were appraised in the last issue. Treasure holders in Yanjing and even the whole country can bring calligraphy and painting collections to the program group for free appraisal.
Not to mention, private collectors should not be underestimated.
In this calligraphy and painting appraisal, there was actually an authentic work by Tang Yin, and two paintings by old man Baishi, both of which were expensive.
The special appraisal in this issue is classified as miscellaneous.
The people in the program team invited Jing Shizhen, a well-known national collector and the chief cultural relic appraiser of Jingxin Hall, to participate in the recording of the program as the leader of the expert team of this episode.
Usually for a program, four experts need to be invited as guests.
Yanjing TV was no exception, and had invited three experts besides Jing Shizhen early on.
But accidents will always exist.
The bronze appraisal expert from the Xingong Museum who was originally invited was unable to participate in the program because some bronzes from the Qin Dynasty were suddenly unearthed in Daxi Province.
It will be recorded tomorrow night, so it is not impossible to temporarily invite other experts, but Jing Shizhen, the leader of the expert group, thought of Su Xiaofan.
According to Jing Shizhen, if a program wants to have ratings, there must be disputes and conflicts!
Inviting a young man who is not from a major but has an expert level of identification as a guest will undoubtedly make the show more attractive.
Jing Shizhen is a businessman first, and an expert in cultural relics appraisal second, so the leaders of Yanjing Taiwan agreed with his suggestion.
What do TV stations need most? Naturally, it is news, regardless of whether it is positive news or negative news.
The matter of Yanjingtai smashing treasures and filing a lawsuit before caused a lot of trouble.
But it also increased the ratings of Yanjing TV, and the advertising fee was soft. With such a controversial young expert, I believe the ratings can explode again.
"Uncle Jing, are you right?"
Listening to Jing Shizhen's narration, Su Xiaofan felt as if he was listening to the Arabian Nights.
Isn't it a joke to let myself, a high school student who has only been out of school for three or four years, be a special guest on the Appraisal Show?
Although he has a little knowledge of bronze ware, Su Xiaofan doesn't think he can be called an expert.
"Xiao Su, you are from the Bronze Ware Village. Ordinary bronze wares should not trouble you."
Jing Shizhen didn't look for Su Xiaofan because he didn't want to catch a dead mouse. He still knew something about Su Xiaofan.
"Uncle Jing, don't go!" Su Xiaofan flatly refused.
To be honest, there is a repair system.
Regarding the identification of authenticity, Su Xiaofan believes that no one in this world is stronger than him.
But antique appraisal is not only about authenticity, but also the basis for judging authenticity. This is Su Xiaofan's weakness.
"Hey, you boy, Uncle Jing, this is for you to take advantage of."
Hearing that Su Xiaofan refused so simply, Jing Shizhen said: "Let's meet and talk, are you in Pan Yuan? I'll let the car pick you up."
"Uncle Jing, I really can't do this." Su Xiaofan continued to refuse with a wry smile.
"Don't talk nonsense, come and have an interview later."
"Oh well."
Su Xiaofan felt that he should maintain due respect for creditors, "Uncle Jing, don't let the car pick me up, I'll take the subway to go to your store?"
Half an hour later, Su Xiaofan sat in the tea room of Jingxin Hall, looking helplessly at Jing Shizhen in front of him.
"Uncle Jing, you want me to be on some singing talent show, I think I'm okay."
Su Xiaofan drank two sips of tea to moisten his throat, and said: "The expert of this treasure appraisal show, you should find a white-bearded old man with a strong and fairy style. Experts are the same as doctors. The older they are, the more popular they are..."
I heard that the monthly ticket can give birth to cubs. If you vote today, there will be tomorrow. Let’s try it, everyone?
