Reborn 1980, I amaze the world by picking up scraps

There were two people behind Tom, one was his dog-legged translator, and the other was a tall and thick man.

Both of them were holding something in their hands. It seemed that Tom came prepared and brought more than one collection.

The challenger has arrived. The boss of Xiangyuanzhai led a few guys to the scene. Also coming in with them was a huge machine.

The machine was placed in the open space in front of the Eight Immortals Table. This is the famous Carbon [-] detector.

Tom set up the ring two days ago and had just won Mr. Xin's family heirloom, the small bronze tripod. He was so proud and high-spirited that he wanted to look at people with his nostrils.

The shopkeeper opened the door to do business and was angry to make money. He turned a blind eye to Tom's face and asked everyone with a smile on his face, "Who is challenging today? Did you bring the baby?"

Yuanni smiled and said in a soft voice, "It's me. I brought the things too."

The shopkeeper was greatly surprised. He looked at Yuan Ni and then at the other collectors. The doubts in his eyes were particularly obvious. Are you really letting a yellow-haired girl take over?

Geng Xiangbei expressed his opinion on behalf of everyone, "Nier is a junior in my family. If she wants to practice, let her go."

The other two collectors nodded inscrutably.

This……

After hearing what the translator said, Tom suddenly felt insulted.

In addition, Yuan Ni exposed his scam before, causing him to fall short and not get the golden needle. At this moment, old and new hatreds broke out together. He wished he could compete with Yuan Ni right away, and then pressed the opponent's face to the ground. Step on.

"You want to practice with me, right? I'm afraid you'll lose your hands." Tom said viciously.

The translator wiped his sweat. If he said such words, wouldn't he be beaten?

After he beautified this sentence with Spring and Autumn style, he said it to everyone.

The shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief. Xiangyuanzhai was only responsible for providing the venue and mediating, and did not care about anything else. "Since both of you are willing, let's sign this agreement."

In China's traditional antique circles, there is no such thing as signing an agreement, mainly because it is too troublesome.

However, the founder of Xiangyuanzhai is an overseas Chinese and is particularly legal-minded. According to his requirements, any agreement involving gambling must be signed to prevent anyone from regretting it later and causing trouble.

This agreement is in two copies, one in Chinese and one in English.

Yuanni read the agreement at a glance, and seeing that the content was fair, she signed her name.

"Next, please write down the name and age of your collection on a piece of paper, and then hand the piece of paper to me.

After the gambling is over, I will show the note again to see who is right. "The shopkeeper said with a smile.

Tom had already made a bet once and was familiar with the procedure. He immediately picked up the pen and started writing. After he finished writing, he translated and wrote Chinese characters on the same piece of paper.

Write down the answer in advance. This trick may seem simple, but it is effective when implemented. After the two parties have completed the appraisal, no matter what the other party said is right or wrong, there will be no chance to change the note.

Yuanni also wrote down the name and year of the celadon Buddha statue, and then signed her name.

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Then please invite me."

Tom clapped his hands reservedly, and the translator and the strong man opened the box, took out an item from it, and placed it on one side of the Eight Immortals table.

As soon as this item was taken out, the collectors present gasped for no other reason than that this was not a Chinese antique, but a piece of Western silverware.

Over the years, people in the antiques circle have mainly studied porcelain of the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, gold and stone seal carvings, as well as calligraphy and painting.

China has a vast territory, rich resources, and a long history. Many people can’t even figure out their own antiques. Who has the energy to study foreign gadgets?

So as soon as this silverware appeared, everyone sighed at the same time. It was over now. None of them knew the origin of this silverware. With Yuanni's age and experience, she probably didn't either.

Even Gu Chao and Dr. Hou, who knew Yuanni's plan, were worried in their hearts. If Yuanni couldn't tell the origin and age of the silverware, even Tom would be suspicious, and it would be a draw at most.

No one expected that Tom would be a rogue, and the previous plan to win seemed to be in vain.

Seeing the big guy's face turn green, Tom smiled proudly, "I am a foreigner, and I can identify your country's cultural artifacts. I believe people from your country can also identify our cultural artifacts."

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing whether to answer yes or no.

Yuan Ni smiled and said, "That's for sure, but Western history is incomparable to that of China. Even collectors with a little knowledge are not interested in it."

After hearing what the translator said, Tom wasn't angry at all. He looked at Yuanni with interest, "What about you? Are you knowledgeable or ignorant?"

"Compared with many collectors present, I am young and of course have no knowledge. I can only learn from Western history." Yuan Ni said modestly.

Tom's expression changed, "What's the use of just talking about being awesome? Let's start the appraisal."

The two parties changed venues, Tom lowered his head to study the celadon Buddha statue, while Yuanni picked up the silverware.

This piece of silverware is not small, about the size of a soup basin, and its shape is similar to that of a soup basin. The whole piece is covered with magnificent palace-style carvings. It is slightly hot when it is first handled. Judging from the degree of heat, the age of the silver soup basin is, however, Around 200 years.

The collectors at the scene didn't know much about Western antiques, but Yuan Ni knew a little bit. After all, she was a student in the Department of Archeology in her previous life, and she had a wide range of knowledge. The teacher specialized in teaching this aspect and also talked about some classic antiques.

The history of Western countries is incomparable with that of China. A 200-year-old silver soup basin is considered an antique.

Yuanni rummaged carefully on the silver soup basin and finally saw the initials of the maker's name.

Just as she had judged, this was a silver soup basin carefully cast by a famous silversmith and presented to King Louis XV of France.

This soup basin was later sold at a Western auction house for a high price of 8000 million US dollars, so it was recorded in history.

Yuanni had focused on studying this period of history before, and after repeated observations and making sure it was correct, she would get a pen and paper and write down her answer.

The collectors in the audience were stunned.

"Xiang Bei, your niece really dares to write? Does she know this stuff?"

"Winning or losing doesn't matter, but don't make a fool of yourself."

Geng Xiangbei's expression was serious and he spoke matter-of-factly, "Don't underestimate my niece. Since she dares to write, she must be sure of it. Don't keep staring at her, pay attention to Tom."

Yuan Ni wrote her judgment with a relaxed expression, but Tom was sweating on his forehead and his eyes were serious. He not only repeatedly touched the Buddha statue with his hands, but also took out a magnifying glass from his pocket to take a closer look...

This time, the collectors at the scene became even more nervous.

Judging from the performance of the two people, Yuan Ni may not know the silver soup basin at all, so she wrote down an answer casually.

Although it was difficult for Tom to read, he might have gotten the number right, and maybe he was in the process of dating.

Putting it this way, doesn’t it mean that we have no chance of winning?
