    "Mr. Zhou, this is not possible. Mr. Qian is the appraiser I hired for the auction. He is only responsible for appraising the cultural relics at the auction. I can't do anything for you here!" Manager Wang quickly stopped him.  After hearing what Manager Wang said, Fatty Zhou felt a little regretful, but he did not show any expression of dissatisfaction. Manager Wang could invite famous people like Mr. Qian to participate in the auction. He was obviously a person with a background, so Fatty Zhou couldn't help but feel sorry for him.  Gao took a look.  "Mr. Zhou, I'm an old man who's been on Chenxiangju's blacklist. Don't say I'm giving you a hard time. Even if I want to buy it myself, Manager Wang won't agree!" Mr. Qian said with a smile.  Hearing Mr. Qian¡¯s words, not only Fatty Zhou, but also others looked at Manager Wang with some confusion. They didn¡¯t know why Chenxiangju still had such a rule, but even customers were not allowed to buy when they came to the door.  "Everyone knows that the biggest feature of our Chenxiangju is that every three genuine items are sold for one price. There will be huge losses for every genuine item sold. If a collector like Mr. Qian comes to the store, it will probably not take half a day.  All the genuine items inside will be taken away by Mr. Qian, and our Chenxiang Residence will also be closed by then," Manager Wang said with a wry smile.  In fact, not only Chenxiangju is afraid of celebrities like Qian Lao, some other antique shops also regard Qian Lao as a tiger. There are not many genuine antiques in antique shops now, and most of them are used to build stores. If they are all taken over by Qian Lao,  If such knowledgeable people are taken away, then this business will not be able to continue.  However, after listening to Manager Wang's words, although everyone could understand, they felt a little unhappy. The reason why Mr. Qian was blacklisted was because he had sharp eyes and could tell the truth from lies. To put it bluntly, Chenxiangju was specifically designed to trick them.  Just people who don't know much about the industry.  "Mr. Zhou, if you really want to ask Mr. Qian to appraise it for you, it's not impossible, but you have to buy these collections first. As long as they become yours, there will be no problem." Manager Wang said with a smile on his face, but he  No matter how you look at it, his smile is a bit treacherous.  "You are really good at doing business. If we all buy it, even if Mr. Qian identifies the authenticity, it will be of no use." Wu Qian said with some displeasure.  "Yes, Manager Wang, you are really good at doing business. Isn't this a trap for Boss Zhou?" Other customers around him shouted.  "Hey, you can't say that. This is the business of my small shop. If everyone asks Qian Lao to check before buying collectibles, then my Chenxiangju will suffer losses!" Manager Wang  He quickly explained.  "As long as I can be given some advice by Mr. Qian, so what if I buy these bronzes?" Fatty Zhou said arrogantly: "Manager Wang, regardless of whether Mr. Qian's appraisal is true or false, I want these bronzes. How about it?  ¡± Fatty Zhou secretly calculated and found that the total of these five bronzes was three million yuan. Although it was not a small sum, it was nothing to Fatty Zhou. He was so timid that he lost face in front of everyone.  .  "Mr. Zhou is indeed very generous!" Manager Wang complimented with a smile.  Manager Wang knows that a rich man like Fatty Zhou, who is worth billions, will not lie in front of so many people just for a mere few million, so although Fatty Zhou has not paid yet, Manager Wang is not afraid of him defaulting on the bill.  "Mr. Qian, I have bought these five bronzes, and I would like your help in appraising them." Fatty Zhou turned to look at Mr. Qian aside, bowed and said.  "Hey, Mr. Zhou, why are you here!" A wry smile appeared on Mr. Qian's face. Although he reminded Fatty Zhou just now, he couldn't cut off Manager Wang's financial path, so he could only remain silent.  Now that Fatty Zhou had bought these bronze wares, it made him feel a little apologetic.  Mr. Qian walked to the five bronze vessels, took out a delicate magnifying glass from his sleeve, carefully observed the several bronze vessels, tapped them a few times with his index finger, and listened to the sounds made by the bronze vessels.  Then he sighed softly and said: "Mr. Zhou, these five bronzes should be new items, but the workmanship is quite exquisite. It's OK to take them home and decorate the facade." Qian Lao has been dealing with antiques all his life, and he has extensive knowledge and rich experience.  , he easily judged that these bronzes had signs of wear, and the patterns carved on the bronzes only emerged in modern times, so it was impossible for them to be ancient artifacts.  As soon as he heard Mr. Qian's words, Fatty Zhou's face immediately dropped. He knew that these bronzes must be fake. Spending wrong money is a trivial matter. The key is losing face. After all, millions of yuan were spent.  I bought some scrap metal with the money. If word got out, wouldn¡¯t it make people laugh!  "Fat Zhou, not everyone can work in this antique industry. I think you should go back to Shanxi to mine coal!" Yue Ming said sarcastically.  The people around him were also sighing. Although they didn¡¯t say anything sarcastic like Yue Ming, their eyes showedApart from the gloating attitude, this is also a common problem among Chinese people.  "Mr. Zhou, don't take it too seriously. When anyone makes mistakes in the collecting business, I suffered a lot when I was young." Mr. Qian patted Fatty Zhou on the shoulder and comforted him.  "Mr. Qian, I also bought these two Buddhist statues and calligraphy and paintings. Can you also help me take a look!" Wu Qian put the four antiques on the table and said.  Wu Qian saw Fatty Zhou unable to stand down after being ridiculed by Yue Ming. She wanted to help her husband and asked Mr. Qian to help her identify the antiques. Even if only one of them was authentic, it would make the couple happy.  If a person looks better, he will not leave in despair.  Although Wu Qian's four antiques were not as expensive as Fatty Zhou's, they were still close to two million. Mr. Qian was well versed in the world and could see Wu Qian's thoughts, although he did not agree with her impulsive move to regain face for her husband.  He didn't agree, but he couldn't stop the other party. He nodded noncommittally and stepped forward to help with the appraisal.  When everyone saw that Fatty Zhou¡¯s wife bought four more antiques for Mr. Qian to help appraise, they were envious of the fact that the two couples were rich, and wanted to see if these four antiques were real, and they could hear Mr. Qian¡¯s words.  Comments from a master appraiser are also a very rare thing.  For the appraisal of Wu Qian¡¯s four antiques, Qian Lao spent a relatively long time. Unfortunately, the Guanyin and Buddha statues are also high imitations. Although they have some value, they are far less than the purchase price. It can be said that these two items  I also made a loss.  As for the other two calligraphy and painting scrolls, one is the calligraphy of Su Shi in the Song Dynasty, and the other is the painting of Tang Bohu in the Ming Dynasty. Although the calligraphy and painting skills are somewhat similar, they are just copied by later generations, not the original works of the two. In the end,  Like Fatty Zhou, he also lost everything.  After Mr. Qian finished the appraisal, both Fatty Zhou and Wu Qian had grim expressions on their faces. They spent millions of dollars and failed to buy even one genuine item. They even asked Mr. Qian to appraise it in front of everyone. Okay.  He said he had lost his master.  "Tsk tsk, no wonder people say Mr. Zhou is rich? I spent five million yuan all at once without even blinking. I admire you!" "That's what the antiques industry is like. It's about knowledge and eyes, not money.  Can it be played?" Everyone whispered.  "Fatty Zhou, you can only deal with coal. An elegant business like art collection is not suitable for you!" Yue Ming said without fear of offending Fatty Zhou and without deliberately lowering his voice.  Yue Ming has been suppressed by Fatty Zhou for so many years. This time Fatty Zhou entered his industry and lost a lot of face. How could he not take the opportunity to make things difficult for him?  "Yue Ming, stop making sarcastic remarks here. Your taste may not be better than ours. If you have the ability, buy a few antiques and ask Mr. Qian to help appraise them!" Wu Qian countered.  How could Yue Ming not be afraid of Wu Qian's provocation? He had been immersed in the antique industry for several years. He thought he had some skills and was looking for an opportunity to prove himself. He said without fear  : "Okay, then I will just choose a few antiques and let Mr. Qian appraise them!" After hearing the conversation between Wu Qian and Yue Ming, everyone didn't know that the two of them were matched, and they wanted to take advantage of the opportunity.  This opportunity was a competition, and the happiest person among them was none other than Manager Wang. The depression that Zhang Wei had just bought from him about the gold and jade Guanyin statue had long been forgotten by him.
