"Come on, I will take you to see the good things I collected last time!"

The person holding this small antique exchange meeting was an old man named Tao.

Everyone was surprised when they entered his collection room.

This collection room is worth as much as a sunken ship.

Countless rare treasures are placed on the four walls and on the shelves in the middle, making the entire collection room gleaming.

There are even two priceless luminous pearls inside!

You must know that this night pearl is worth a lot. If there are pigeon eggs, the size of an egg, and high quality, it may be worth hundreds of millions!

Lin Xiao looked at these collections and touched his chin with relish. There were really some valuable things in there.

Mr. Yun whispered beside him: "This old man is Ai Xuan. Whatever he asks you later, just tell me everything you know."

The relationship between Tao and Mr. Yun should be that of good brothers on the surface, but secretly complaining about each other behind the scenes.

Lin Xiao nodded.

"I have been collecting these items for decades. I have been collecting them since my grandfather's generation. There are a total of 1,524 items."

"These things of yours are incredible. They are of such high value, and many of them will increase in value in the future. You have saved a considerable amount of property for the family."

Someone immediately became jealous and said sourly.

Once all these precious collections are sold, their value will exceed tens of billions.

If we talk about wealth, the people here are all second- and third-rate wealthy families in Beicheng.

Although he is only second-rate or third-rate, he can already be regarded as the top tycoon in the Dragon Kingdom.

In their eyes, they are very valuable, and of course their value is immeasurable.

Although no one has tens or hundreds of billions in their hands, if they really want to create capital flow, who can get it?

When people usually calculate their own wealth, they only calculate their total assets.

Tao Lao said: "You don't think he is valuable, but he has also drained my family's funds."

"Thankfully, my family's projects are very stable. If something happens, I'm afraid I'll have to borrow money from you!"

Everyone laughed, what they said made sense, and they didn't care anymore.

However, there were so many treasures to enjoy, so these people were still very curious and gathered in groups to enjoy the antiques.

Mr. Tao waved to Lin Xiao and said, "Since you are good at appraising treasures, young man, let me ask you for a favor."

"When I took this thing back, I didn't know whether it was genuine or not. Several appraisers couldn't identify it, and they thought it was genuine. So I had to take it seriously and keep it. Now that you're here,

Help me find out if this is true or false."

What Mr. Tao was talking about was a bronze vessel. It was huge, nearly one meter high, and it was carved with a mythical beast called Pixiu, which was used to control the house.

Lin Xiao walked over and took a look at this brave animal. It was in the shape of a bronze mythical beast and was very ferocious.

One paw is pressed on the fortune ball, and the other paw is firmly on the ground.

The muscles of the two hind paws bulge, as if they are about to step on the ground at any time.

The craftsmanship of this Pixiu is excellent, and the entire body is made of bronze. It seems to be a very ancient product.

Tao Lao said: "It cost me a full 50 million to get this thing back. If it is a fake, then I will cry to death."

Lin Xiao nodded: "Fifty million is worth a lot of money. Mr. Tao, can you give me some tools so that I can make a good appraisal?"

This bronze Pixiu looks a little weird. If it is real, Lin Xiao feels a little strange.

It is said to be fake, but it also has the characteristics of a real bronze.

Mr. Tao nodded: "Of course it's okay."

He turned around and took a set of tools from the collection room and handed them to Lin Xiao. Lin Xiao took them and started to identify them.

The identification of bronze ware is generally based on three aspects, one is the rust color, the other is the craftsmanship, and the third is the copper quality and the style of the vessel.

Common rust colors include green rust, red rust, blue rust, etc.

If the rust color and the body of the vessel are shiny and natural, then it is a naturally occurring rust color.

If the rust color lies on the surface of the object, it is fake rust.

Modern bronze counterfeiting has become very popular. If the fake rust they create is not properly identified, it can even hide it from many senior treasure appraisers.

The workmanship of bronze ware is exquisite and has a certain appreciation value. Moreover, bronze ware has a long history and was of great significance in some eras at that time. It also has cultural relic value, so if the bronze ware is genuine, it is generally more precious.

A large bronze antique like this is usually worth tens of millions.

The bronze Pixiu is worth only 50 million, so it can be seen that it was bought from someone else. If it were auctioned in an auction house, it would be worth almost hundreds of millions.

Seeing Lin Xiao here appraising treasures, the others looked at each other and gathered around.

I want to see Lin Xiao's real skills, and I don't know if he is really as good as what is said outside.

Lin Xiao looked at the tool for a while, then put it down with a smile.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Tao, but I have to tell you some bad news. This bronze is fake."

Mr. Tao's eyes widened: "Isn't it possible? How could this bronze be fake? Look at the patina on it, the workmanship and the copper base. How could it be fake!"

Mr. Tao found many experts to identify it. Most of those experts still said it was true, but some said they were not sure.

But Mr. Tao always thought this thing was real. Now Lin Xiao said it was fake, which he couldn't accept.

After all, it's 50 million. For someone like him who loves collecting, spending 50 million to buy a fake thing is simply more uncomfortable than cutting his own flesh.
