City: Start from participating in the Appreciation Program

Chapter 150
When the clerk saw the tiles that Luo Fan had selected, he was surprised. He didn't expect that all the tiles that Luo Fan selected were of the same kind.

However, he only thought that Luo Fan just liked this kind of porcelain, so he didn't think much about it.

After all, it only took less than 10 minutes to find a combination that can be combined into a complete porcelain from this pile of porcelain pieces. This situation is basically impossible.

Someone once had a whim and planned to use advanced electronic equipment to scan the shapes of all the tiles into the database, and then compare them one by one to calculate all the possibilities.

The idea went fine when it was scanned, but something went wrong when it was put together.

Since the computer does not have enough aesthetic ability, it can only be spliced ​​mechanically according to the shape of the gap and the tiles. In the end, all kinds of oddly shaped porcelains are spliced ​​by the computer.

Of course, it is also possible to add a manual process on the basis of machine scanning, and stitch them manually.

However, in practice this is completely unfeasible.

The person who really wants to be able to do this must be a master porcelain craftsman. They are willing to stare at the computer every day to put together tiles.

Moreover, such things as tiles are inherently random. It is very likely that after a long time of hard work, you are missing a tile, but you just can't find that tile.

Either it has been destroyed, or it has fallen elsewhere.

In the end, this idea was stranded due to the completely disproportionate investment and gain, and only when the technology goes further, may there be other ways.

Cheng Mansion, in the hall.

After half a day of the Cheng family's youth appreciation conference, they finally discovered that Cheng Luming, the "protagonist", had disappeared.

Came over to inquire, only to find out that it was Cheng Luming who ran aside with someone and started a game alone.

As for the object of the competition, who seemed to be the boyfriend of the beautiful woman in front of me, I didn't know why he would compete with Cheng Luming for no reason.

Cheng Xinwei's argument was that the two of them had this match because they were eager for skills, but they would never believe this kind of excuse to lie to children, who would come to a match for no reason.

Combined with Cheng Luming's usual style comments, there is a high probability that it is because of the emotional conflict caused by this beauty that everyone despises Cheng Luming.

It never occurred to Cheng Xinwei that he simply told the story of the match between the two, but did not tell the cause and effect of Chengfeng's jealousy. Everyone still guessed the truth with a little clue.

Although a fair lady and a gentleman are nice, no one thinks that it is a moral thing to forcibly pursue a woman with a boyfriend.

It's just that these people definitely won't show it, they just complain about Cheng Luming's behavior in their hearts.

In addition, they also complained about Luo Fan's overreaching.

Although in the eyes of many people, Cheng Luming's strength can only be regarded as average in the circle, but this is also average in the circle. Compared with people outside the circle, it can definitely be said that it is not an exaggeration to say that he is crushed.

Of course, they can only complain in their hearts. The two parties, one is a guest of the Cheng family, and the other is the young master of the Cheng family, so they can only keep their complaints in their hearts.

Soon the time came to 48:[-], when Cheng Luming appeared at the entrance of the hall first, and he was holding a piece of white porcelain as the competition item this time.

Cheng Luming shamelessly handed the white porcelain tile to Qin Miaomiao, and said, "Miaomiao, this is the tile I bought. It just cost a hundred yuan, and it completely complies with the rules of the competition."

"This piece of white porcelain shard is a good thing. The quality is very high. It is estimated that 1000 yuan will not be a problem. I believe you should know my strength."

Just looking at Cheng Luming's complacent look, Qin Miaomiao, who didn't know the truth, really thought that this piece of porcelain was really something he chose, and thought that Cheng Luming actually had some strength.

Qin Miaomiao took the white porcelain tile, looked at it for a while, and suggested to Cheng Xinwei: "Although there are still a few minutes left, but it's not much, why don't we appraise this tile first?"

"We can definitely wait for Luo Fan to come back while appraising, and it won't waste time."

Cheng Xinwei nodded and said, "Since my niece Qin has no objections, then I naturally have no objections either."

"Then let us take a look at this tile first."

Naturally, there is no problem with this piece of porcelain being genuine. What the two want to appraise is mainly the value of this piece of white porcelain.

Qin Miaomiao gently rubbed the tile with her thumb a few times, feeling the warm touch, and felt that the quality of this white porcelain tile was actually higher than what she had imagined.

Combined with the pure white and flawless appearance of this piece of porcelain, Qin Miaomiao estimated in her heart that the market price of this piece of porcelain was about 1000 yuan. She did not expect Cheng Luming's estimate to be so accurate.

Of course, why Cheng Luming had such an accurate valuation, it was of course not the result of his own appraisal, but what he happened to hear when Luo Fan was going to the tile pool.

Qin Miaomiao discussed with Cheng Xinwei again, and the two finally reached an agreement to price the tile at 1000 yuan, and Cheng Xinwei directly announced the result.

Hearing that the tile purchased for 100 yuan actually has a market price of 1000 yuan, this nine-fold rate of return directly surprised the rest of the young Cheng family.

This kind of rate of return is very rare in the business of transparent antiques like porcelain tiles. Generally, a rate of return of three times is considered good.

I didn't expect that Cheng Luming, who had been acting so stupid all the time, would have such a vision. Could it be that he has been pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger?Or was it because he stepped on shit that he was lucky enough to get this tile?

Usually, when Cheng Luming didn't show his strength, they would all brag about it, but now Cheng Luming seemed to be promising, and they rushed up to compliment him one by one.

"Brother Lu Ming is really powerful. This kind of shocking leak was discovered by his discerning eyes. Brother Lu Ming's strength is simply beyond words."

"Brother Lu Ming really doesn't make a move, but once he makes a move, it will become a blockbuster. If this piece of white porcelain hadn't been appreciated by me, Brother Lu Ming, I don't know how long it will be left in the corner to eat ashes."

……

Looking at the boastful people, Cheng Xinwei frowned habitually. It was the flattery of these people that turned his son into an ignorant dude.

However, his frown quickly eased, and these people should be criticized for their forced boasting for no reason.

But this time is different, Cheng Luming has shown his real strength, and he should be praised.

After all, even with one's own strength, it would be difficult to find out that such an unremarkable piece of white porcelain is actually a good thing unless it is carefully appraised.

But now, it was his own son, who was able to find such a high-quality item in just an hour at most, which was enough to see that his ability was indeed online.

Seeing that his plan was right, his son was only deceived by lard before, but in fact he still has strength, and he just needs some stepping stones like Luo Fan to stimulate his ability.

Thinking of this, Cheng Xinwei gave his son a rare encouragement, saying: "Son, you did a good job today, you should definitely win this game."

"Of course, even if you accidentally lose, just because you have the ability to choose this tile is enough to make me proud of you."

Although Qin Miaomiao didn't say anything, she also changed Cheng Luming's opinion through this piece of white porcelain.

Although this Cheng Luming is annoying, at least his strength is a little stronger than I imagined.

However, Qin Miaomiao seems to have overlooked one point, that is, Luo Fan often does not do personnel affairs, but she just doesn't find Luo Fan annoying.

Facing Cheng Xinwei's rare praise, Cheng Luming just forced a smile and said, "Thank you for your father's recognition of me, I will continue to work hard."

How could Cheng Luming not be reluctant?

After all, this piece of porcelain was something he picked up on Luo Fan, and these people's exaggeration of themselves should belong to Luo Fan's honor.

The more powerful they say, the more powerful this Luo Fan is, and he is nothing.

And I can't refute it, I can only accept their compliments to Luo Fan from the air, which makes people's mind explode.

The most exasperating thing is that both his father and Qin Miaomiao have already said that this piece of white porcelain is amazing, but he has been staring at it for a long time and still can't see why. Doesn't this mean that he is simply inferior to Luo Fan? How different?

However, Cheng Luming was soon lost in the exaggeration of the crowd, and he began to get carried away with complacency.

He began to feel that this should be his own honor, and began to enjoy it openly.

Even Cheng Luming mocked Luo Fan wantonly, saying:

"Why hasn't this Luo Fan come back yet? Could it be that he couldn't choose a tile and planned to flee?"

"It's not surprising, after all, the strength gap between us is unimaginably large."

The others responded loudly, saying, "It's 57:[-], and it's only a few minutes before the game officially ends. Is this Luo Fan really abandoning his girlfriend and running away?"

"Maybe it's because he already knew about Brother Lu Ming's terrifying strength, knowing that he was no match for him, so he stopped fighting and ran away?"

"This beautiful woman is really pitiful. She actually found such a boyfriend. It's really unkind."

Hearing everyone's ridicule, Qin Miaomiao's already cold face became even colder now, and said ironically:
"Do you guys have bad eyesight? You still have a few minutes to go, but it seems like the victory and defeat have already been decided, and you have already started to celebrate in advance."

"I just don't know what kind of expression you will have when you see Cheng Luming lose, those of you who celebrate in advance."

"As for whether Luo Fan will run away, if you say a thousand or ten thousand, it's better to wait until the time is over, and then you will know."

Facing Qin Miaomiao's counterattack, someone stood up unconvinced and said:

"Tsk tsk tsk, it's already 58 points, and there are only 2 minutes until the end. You are still so confident in your boyfriend."

"Some people's strength is not very strong, so they like to cram for the time being, for fear of wasting a minute of time."

"Where is he always so confident like our brother Lu Ming, who came back more than ten minutes earlier, and there is no need to cram."

This person wanted to say something more, but was pulled down by the people behind him. After all, Qin Miaomiao was a guest, and if they talked too much, they would only make others look down on their Cheng family.

Although Qin Miaomiao was not convinced, she had to admit that the tile Cheng Luming had chosen was of a very high standard. She could only pray in her heart that even if Luo Fan couldn't win, at least she wouldn't lose too badly.

As for Luo Fan running away?Thinking of Luo Fan's arrogant appearance, Qin Miaomiao felt that such a possibility did not exist at all.

Sure enough, in the last minute, Luo Fan walked into the hall very leisurely, with a relaxed and freehand look, it was really hard for people to see that he was participating in the competition.

Qin Miaomiao was so annoyed by Luo Fan's leisurely look, she was worried here whether Luo Fan had run away, but Luo Fan was lucky, he was so calm.

Maybe because he noticed the incomprehensible gazes of the crowd, Luo Fan asked in surprise, "Is it already past twelve o'clock?"

"You people are just too impetuous. As long as I come back within the specified time, there will be no problem at all."

After speaking, Luo Fan recklessly put the porcelain he had chosen on the table between the two judges, and by the way, Luo Fan also found a very familiar figure on the table.

Luo Fan pointed to this piece of white porcelain strangely and asked, "What's the condition of this piece of white porcelain?"

Cheng Xinwei only thought that Luo Fan was interested in the tiles Cheng Luming chose, and immediately introduced his son's glorious deeds, saying:
"The piece of white porcelain you're talking about is exactly the one Cheng Luming chose."

"This piece of porcelain has been appraised before you came here, and the estimated value is 1000 yuan. This may be a big challenge for you."

After finishing speaking, Cheng Xinwei, who wanted to see the shock on Luo Fan's face, found that Luo Fan was very calm, as if he was not surprised by the value of this piece of porcelain.

Of course, Luo Fan wasn't surprised by the market price of this piece of white porcelain, 1000 yuan was exactly what he estimated. He was surprised that this piece of white porcelain wouldn't sell for [-] yuan, why did it suddenly appear here.

And I was in that store the whole time, why didn't I see Cheng Luming at all, and how did he cut off his beard secretly.

Luo Fan thought it was a similar piece of porcelain, but after careful observation, his photographic memory told him that this was the piece of porcelain he had chosen not long ago.

"Haha, this kid is back. I probably didn't expect such a big surprise to be waiting for him."

"That's right, he was probably planning to win the game with full confidence, but found that what greeted him was an insurmountable gap."

"However, there is one thing to say—his eyesight is pretty good, and he can actually see the extraordinaryness of this piece of white porcelain at a glance."

"With the inconspicuous appearance of this piece of white porcelain, it is difficult for ordinary people to connect it with the porcelain piece Cheng Luming used for the competition."

"Don't put gold on other people's faces. This table is obviously used for competitions. Of course, the tiles that can be placed on it can only be the tiles selected by Brother Lu Ming."
