Chapter 11 Bet!
The young man was named Zhang Haochen, and he was Han Jinwen's eldest apprentice. He had been learning antiques from Han Jinwen since he was a child, and he had obtained the true teachings of Han Jinwen. It was okay to be an appraiser in an antique shop. Moreover, Lu Desheng had promised Han Jinwen that Zhang Haochen would take over his class after he retired.
But just a few days ago, Zhang Haochen made a mistake and mistakenly regarded a fake Ji Yun note as the authentic one, causing Lu Desheng to directly lose more than 100,000 yuan, which greatly reduced his position in Lu Desheng's heart. In addition, when he met Liu Nan today, Lu Desheng was preparing to let Liu Nan be the appraiser.
In fact, with the little eyesight that Liu Nan showed today, it is difficult to meet the standards of an appraiser, but for some reason, Lu Desheng always felt that Liu Nan had a mysterious feeling, which made him firmly believe that Liu Nan could definitely be the appraiser, so he made such a decision.
Obviously, this decision was something that Han Jinwen and his disciples could not accept.
"Xiao Lu, what do you mean? Didn't we all agree to let Haochen take my place after I retire? Why have you changed your mind now?"
Han Jinwen said what he said long ago as Lu Desheng expected. He knew that making such a decision today would definitely be stopped by Han Jinwen, so he had already had a solution.
"Old Han, I think Haochen should exercise for a while. Take the fake Ji Yun note from a few days ago as an example. It was a fake one that could not be fake anymore, but Haochen still misread it. Do you think I can hand over the important position of the appraiser to his hands with confidence? Today I happened to meet Xiao Liu again and found that Xiao Liu has good eyesight, so I plan to let Xiao Liu be an appraiser first, and let him take over when Haochen has the ability."
"You think Haochen is not capable yet? Don't you know that Haochen is the main focus of porcelain? Besides, the fake Ji Yun note last time, I may not be able to see the fake craftsmanship even if I am very skilled. Could it be that Haochen is not allowed to be an appraiser because of this?"
After saying that, before Lu Desheng could speak, he pointed at Liu Nan and said, "You said just now that Haochen is not qualified. Is this yellow-haired boy qualified?"
Hearing this, Lu Desheng frowned. No matter what Han Jinwen said, he had no objection. After all, he was also considered a disciple of Han Jinwen, but if Liu Nan said this, he would be unhappy. After all, Lu Desheng was already determined to let Liu Nan be the appraiser. If Han Jinwen's words make Liu Nan go away, it would be more than worth the loss.
"Old Han, I think Brother Liu has this qualification. This Dehua kiln white porcelain is what Brother Liu sees..."
Before Lu Desheng finished speaking, he was interrupted by Han Jinwen: "It can be seen that he can be an appraiser just because of this broken bowl? If so, everyone in the world can be an appraiser!"
Then Han Jinwen did not speak to Lu Desheng, but pointed the finger at Liu Nan. He said, "Boy, I ask you, who is your teacher?"
Liu Nan hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't have a teacher."
"Then where did you learn these antiques?"
"Book, in the book."
"Hmph! In the book?" Han Jinwen sneered and continued, "How long have you been in contact with antiques?"
Looking at Han Jinwen's appearance, Liu Nan began to get angry. He promised Lu Desheng to come here to be an appraiser, but because he just returned home and needed a formal job. In addition, he didn't know where he came from to identify antiques, so he promised Lu Desheng. He was troubled by them just now, and it was impossible not to be angry. By the way, this job was not something he asked to do, but something he invited to do. Why should he be angry here now?
Then Liu Nan said fiercely: "How long I have been in contact with antiques is not the main thing. The most important thing is that Boss Lu Desheng personally invited me to come here. He wants me to be an appraiser. You have no right to interfere. Besides, it is still no problem to be a small appraiser with my eyesight."
"Hmph! A little appraiser? With the things you see in the book, even if you try to attack my apprentice Haochen, you think your level is too low and you still want to be an appraiser. It's really a big deal!"
"Old Han! Your words are a little over." Lu Desheng listened to Han Jinwen's aggressive words next to him, and finally he could not bear it anymore. After all, Liu Nan was invited by him, and it was unreasonable to be scolded in his own store.
"I invited Brother Liu, and this store is mine. It's my business who I want to be an appraiser. Besides, I just want Haochen to exercise for a few more days. Isn't it good if you say this?"
"fart!"
When Han Jinwen heard this, he immediately stood up from the chair, pointed at Lu Desheng and said with a glaring eyes: "Lu Desheng, Lu Desheng, I didn't expect you to be such a person who broke the bridge across the river. Thinking back then, if I hadn't helped you support this store, you would have lost even your shorts. Now your wings are hard, so you don't need me, an old man, right? But let me tell you, how did I help you up back then, and now I can kick your store down!"
...
Just when everyone was in a stalemate, the door of the antique shop was pushed open, and two men in suits walked in from outside. The leader looked about fifty years old, with bright and reflective hair neatly combed behind his head, just like those successful people on TV.
Behind him, a man in his thirties, holding a small red box in his hand, and the two walked towards Han Jinwen.
"Oh, what's wrong with you? I heard the quarrel inside outside the door. Mr. Han, who is provoking you?" The middle-aged man said to Han Jinwen with a laugh from afar.
The middle-aged man is named Fan Luwei. He is a jade businessman in Zhangkou City. He is also a very famous entrepreneur in Zhangkou City. His biggest hobby in his life is collecting antiques, so he usually comes here whenever he has time and is very familiar with everyone here.
Han Jinwen, who was originally gazing at the beard, calmed down when he saw him coming in, and slowly sat back on the chair, looking at Fan Luwei sitting beside him and said, "Oh, some people want to cross the river and destroy bridges. They find a yellow-haired boy who learns knowledge from books and will come to replace Haochen as an appraiser. How can I not get angry about this?"
For people like Fan Luwei who struggle in the mall every day, they just heard this and understood the whole thing. They glanced at Liu Nan and the others, and said to Han Jinwen: "Old Han, we are all old, and our children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Don't worry. If you have this angry time, it's better to drink tea and chat. How comfortable it is."
After saying that, he turned to Lu Desheng and said, "Old Lu, I bought another thing today. Please tell me how this thing is."
When Lu Desheng heard this, he gave Liu Nan a look. The two sat down together. Then Fan Luwei waved his hand to the young man standing behind him. The young man stepped forward and put the box in his hand on the table and opened it. A green porcelain incense burner appeared in front of everyone.
The incense burner is green all over, with a fiery red mark and three calves at the bottom. The most peculiar thing is that there are some horizontal lines of varying lengths on the outer side of the incense burner. Although Liu Nan knew nothing about these things, he still knew these things. These horizontal paths were just a gossip pattern.
The history of incense burners can be traced back to the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and was first used to worship the heavens and pray for blessings and ensure safety. Later, it was gradually loved by literati and poets. They were placed in the hall or in the study. When reading, a stick of incense was lit, and the wonderful artistic conception of "the red sleeves add incense to read at night".
"I found this incense burner on a street stall today, so I bought it. According to my opinion, this thing should be an incense burner from Longquan Kiln of the Song Dynasty. Lao Lu, how about this thing?"
When Lu Desheng heard this, he was about to get started, but as soon as he reached out, he was interrupted by Han Jinwen's voice: "Hmph, some people have learned their abilities from me, why should they get started? Why do you want Haochen and that yellow-haired boy to take a look, just to have a competition to see who is more qualified to be an appraiser, so that some bastards who don't know where they want to be an appraiser, and they also want to be an appraiser."
"This..." Fan Luwei hesitated for a moment. If the two of them compete, it would be like making things bigger and he would not want to do so. After all, people who do business pay attention to being kind and making money.
But Liu Nan, who was sitting on the side, was furious when he heard this. Since he came in, Han Jinwen has been very rude to him, but Liu Nan respected him more, so he endured it. But now he actually started to scold himself. Even a clay man was angry now, let alone Liu Nan.
