Chapter 28 One is enough
This is everything that happened in the square, and Liu Yi Yang has nothing to do with it anymore.
He put away the antique club sign hanging from his neck, and Liu Yi Yang walked into Xuan Ya Zhai with big strides. The sales staff inside were discussing in a low voice, which made Liu Yi Yang unexpected, they were also talking about today's activities of various school antique clubs.
Six schools, more than 200 students rushed into the antique city, which had already startled all the shops.
Even though there are few students coming to Xuan Ya Zhai now, they have already known about this matter, which will be enthusiastically discussed. Some people even want to run out and take a look. So many young students appearing in the antique city is what kind of scenery.
"Lin Gege, Hu Jie!"
Outside the warehouse, Lin Feng was sitting there as usual, with Hu Hongye from the first floor beside him.
The items sold on the first floor need to be replenished from the warehouse with new products, and the first floor will not be fully stocked with antiques, nor will it leave any empty space.
Hu Hongye had just sold a few good items and was receiving new ones. He also smiled and greeted Liu Yiyang.
"It's okay, I've already put everything in order, you can just go straight in!"
Lin Feng smiled and pointed, every day he had to worry about what needed to be maintained, Liu Yi Yang only took care of the maintenance work, which also saved Liu Yi Yang a lot of trouble.
Liu Yi Yang didn't say a word and directly entered his own work cabin. Lin Feng and Hu Hong Ye didn't notice that today's Liu Yi Yang was much more spirited than usual.
Liu Yi Yang immediately packed up his things and started work for today after taking a quick look at the items that needed to be maintained.
His spirit was indeed very good and his energy was full. After absorbing the red spiritual energy outside for an afternoon, his expression became more focused at this moment.
…………
"It's time!"
Haihe Square, after consultation among the municipal committee and several experts, a young man was sent to inform.
The time has come, the evaluation is about to begin. Each of the six schools can have a maximum of six exhibits participating in the evaluation. They were given time earlier to select their own exhibits.
Apart from the Coastal Medical University, all other schools were bustling with noise, everyone wanting their purchased items to participate in the evaluation and be carefully examined by experts.
Zhao Lei and Wang Xiaoli were also whispering to each other, but they weren't talking about Liu Yi Yang, rather they were discussing everything they had overheard in the square earlier.
There were still quite a few people who picked up leaks today.
A student at Capital Normal University spent 1,500 yuan on a pretty good Republic of China single-glazed small bowl, but later it was identified as not from the Republic of China period, but rather from Tongzhi Minyao, which suddenly pulled the time back by several decades, and the price also quickly rose.
Someone appraised this small bowl for 30,000 yuan. This student was like picking up a leak. With this bowl, Beijing Normal University instantly gained more than 20,000 points, making students from other schools very anxious.
Some students at Bin Hai Medical University who didn't know about Yu Huan were also brainstorming with Ren Li Juan and Gu Ji Yue, thinking of ways to increase their points.
Apart from this bowl, there are several small leaks, unfortunately, none of them can surpass it.
This is a leak, more eye-catching, also from Beijing Normal University, a student spent 6,000 yuan to buy a Guangxu Minyao vase, later found out it was a modern fake. The head of their association took the students to find the seller to reason with him, but unfortunately, the seller refused to admit it, saying he had indeed bought it as a Guangxu Minyao vase and even produced his own purchase list.
If you say he was deceived, then he is also a victim.
The antique market is like this, without sufficient evidence, nothing can be done, and the student had to swallow this bitter pill.
If it weren't for this scandal, Beijing Normal University would be very proud today.
Other schools also have various small stories, making all the students who participated in today's activities open their eyes wide. Such joint activities can more easily enhance knowledge. Even before the evaluation, the heads of the antique societies of each school had already decided that this type of activity must be continued no matter what.
No more nonsense, the moment of evaluation is about to begin.
First to be evaluated was Bin Hai University, their president Gu Yue walked onto the makeshift stage with six newly purchased collectibles, full of confidence.
There are six items, three of which are porcelain, one is jade and two are Buddha statues.
After opening these six things one by one, many students around watching all exclaimed, and among these six, there was actually a gilded Maitreya Buddha statue.
Judging from the color, this Buddha statue is extremely exquisite. If it's a genuine antique, its value must be high and can't be bought for less than 5,000 yuan. Many people were whispering about it.
The eyes of several experts on the stage also fell on the Buddha statue.
"This Buddha statue was bought by me, in the sixth store on West Street. When I bought it, the owner told me that this is a Ming dynasty gilt Maitreya Buddha. I told him it wasn't, Ming dynasty Maitreya Buddha statues don't have this shape, this type of shape only appeared after Jiaqing period of Qing dynasty, and it's unrealistic for the gilding to be so well preserved. I showed him evidence from a book that clearly describes the shape of this kind of Maitreya Buddha. The owner believed me and sold it to me as a modern replica. My purchase price was 5,000 yuan, completely within the regulations!"
Gu Yue spoke in his loud voice on stage, and the smile on his face grew even brighter.
"You mean the owner believed you and finally sold this good Buddha statue to you for 5,000 yuan?" An expert asked with a smile.
"That's right!" Gu Yue nodded heavily.
"Do you yourself know or don't know whether this is a modern fake?" The expert smiled even more brightly and asked again.
"Absolutely not!"
Gu Yue shook his head again and said, "This is not a modern imitation, nor is it a Maitreya Buddha from the Ming Dynasty. This should be a Maitreya Buddha from the Qing Xianfeng period! The shop owner didn't know, thinking that if it wasn't from the Ming Dynasty then it was modern, so he sold it to me at a low price!"
After finishing speaking, Gu Yue's face smiled even more, and he became even more confident.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The expert first clapped his palms, and soon all the students followed suit. The expert's attitude had fully confirmed what Gu Yue had said.
He used a clever little misunderstanding to make the store owner think that his own goods were counterfeit, and in a hurry to get rid of them, he bought this genuine old item at a low price.
This is a trick, the modern antique market is not just about sellers cheating buyers, sometimes buyers will also use other means to mislead the store owners. Modern replicas are definitely not worth that much money, and even the gold plating on top may not be genuine, so at this point, if it can be sold for 5,000, it's better to sell it to avoid losses.
Such things are not uncommon in antique markets.
"The Yangtze River's rear waves push forward the front waves. I didn't expect you young people nowadays to be so formidable! This time we came at the right time, we should have come!"
The expert also looked very happy and gave Gu Yue a very high evaluation. Many school presidents in the audience looked at him with envy, while also feeling apprehensive.
The president of the Beijing Normal University Antique Society, who had thought they would definitely win this time, was frowning, but unexpectedly, a golden Buddha statue from the Xianfeng period appeared at Binhai University, which is over 100 years old now, and no matter how you look at it, its value can't be low.
The expert soon finished appraising the six collections of Bohai University.
The most concerned Gilding Maitreya Buddha was finally evaluated at 100,000 yuan. Five thousand turned into one hundred thousand, which is absolutely a big bargain. The other items were mostly several thousand yuan, and the final score of Binhai University was 112,000 points.
As soon as this score came out, there was a burst of noise from the audience. Many people thought that today's best performance must be Bin Hai University, and it must be Gu Yue.
The selection continues, and the second one is Bin Hai Normal University.
Bin Hai Normal University was not so lucky, they also had leaks, unfortunately too small, and finally got 18,000 points, which is far less than Bin Hai University.
After the scores came out, the students of Bin Hai Normal University were all very disappointed and said that Bin Hai University was lucky to have such a score, if it weren't for that Buddha statue, they would have definitely won.
Next is Beijing Huading Academy.
Huading Academy made a big joke with Tang Bohu's seal, making them very embarrassed. However, this school indeed has its strength, and the final score is 23,000.
They had an inkstone worth 3,000 yuan, which was appraised at 18,000 yuan, instantly increasing their score by 15,000 points. Unfortunately, today's Gu Yue was too dazzling, and they reluctantly stepped down from the stage, just like Bin Hai Normal University.
The fourth is Hainan University of Science and Technology, with a score of 8,000 points, the lowest score, six collections even got one negative score, also the first negative score today.
The University of Science and Technology's antique club was established the latest, only last year, and there are not many members. Today's 36 people even have temporary additions to make up the numbers. In this situation, it is actually not easy to have 8,000 points, and those who understand their situation sent warm applause.
Next is Beijing Normal University, and they indeed sent up the small bowl they picked up.
This small single-glazed bowl did not disappoint them, and the expert gave an appraisal of 36,000. In the end, their score was 47,000, the highest except for Binhai University.
The last one on stage was Ren Lijuan from Bin Hai Medical University, the real initiator of this event.
Watching Ren Lijuan walk up with only one box, many people showed confusion, and some people were whispering and speculating that the Medical University of Bohai might have given up because they felt they couldn't compare to Bohai University.
"Li Juan, what's this? How can you just have one?"
The League Secretary Wang walked forward and asked in a low voice, with a hint of anxiety on his face. He didn't expect Ren Lijuan to bring something up either.
"Teacher Wang, this one thing is enough for us. This is our greatest gain today. If we can't win with it, then taking out the others won't be of any use either. However, afterwards we will take out all the things we bought and have everyone observe and learn together!"
Ren Lijuan smiled and said, "The activity is not ending today. Tomorrow, we will take out all the things bought today for exhibition and observation. Everyone will learn together and make progress together. The activity will officially end the day after tomorrow."
