City: Start from participating in the Appreciation Program

Chapter 152 Waste
Seeing that both of them were urging, Cheng Xinwei sighed and said slowly: "This is something I did wrong. I kept everyone waiting for a long time."

"Now it's up to me to announce the result of this competition. The winner is Luo Fan."

How is this possible, how could he lose?

Cheng Luming looked in disbelief, and asked, "Dad, did you say the wrong thing, I should be the winner!"

Facing Cheng Luming's questioning, Cheng Xinwei scolded loudly: "Your father and I are not old enough to be confused like this."

"The value of these shadow celadon pieces is about [-] yuan each, which is indeed inferior to that piece of white porcelain 'you'. However, they are not as simple as they appear on the surface."

After speaking, Cheng Xinwei fiddled with these porcelain pieces in front of everyone, and quickly pieced together a complete small bowl.

Only then did the people below understand everything. It turned out that the reason why Luo Fan took so many porcelain pieces was because they all came from the same piece of porcelain.

These porcelain pieces that can be pieced together to form a complete porcelain can naturally double their value. According to the almost 100% perfection of this small bowl, there should be no problem selling it for about 10 yuan.

You know, there are professions such as antique restorers in this world, who specialize in the work of antique restoration.

With their skilled hands, some broken porcelain can even be restored to the same appearance as when it was intact, and no flaws can be seen without careful observation.

As a result, the price of these complete sets of tiles is higher than that of individual tiles, and everyone below also showed a relieved expression. If this is the case, Luo Fan has indeed won.

They even looked at Luo Fan with admiration for being able to collect this set of celadon tiles in a short period of time, and all cast admiring glances at Luo Fan.

No wonder this young man is so confident. If he had this strength, he might not be confident anymore, but would become arrogant.

Seeing the adoring gazes cast on Luo Fan by the crowd, Cheng Luming was so jealous that he was going crazy. These should be his honors.

Looking at Qin Miaomiao again, she was looking at Luo Fan excitedly, this was the kind of attention she had never received before.

Qin Miaomiao was indeed very excited. She did not expect that even under such circumstances, Luo Fan would be able to crush the victory. She really shouldn't question his strength just now.

After thinking about it for a long time, Cheng Luming still didn't understand why Luo Fan won. Even if these tiles could be combined together, they couldn't be counted as a whole!

7*200=1400 yuan is indeed 1000 yuan more than the value of your own white porcelain tiles, but this competition is comparing the unit price of each tile, why can’t they be combined together to be a new tile?

Unconvinced, Cheng Luming said without even thinking: "Even if these tiles of yours can be combined, it cannot be calculated as a whole."

"Compared to the price of a single tile, my 1000 yuan is still greater than your [-] yuan. I should win this game."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Hearing this, Luo Fan couldn't bear it anymore, and laughed out loud, he didn't expect Cheng Luming to be so ignorant.

Although it can be seen from Cheng Luming's disdainful attitude when he first chose ceramic tiles as a competition event, Cheng Luming looked down on the category of tiles very much, and probably didn't have much contact with them.

But since he grew up in China, he didn't even have this kind of basic common sense, which is really unreasonable.

Luo Fan explained very kindly: "Sorry, I usually don't laugh unless I can't help it."

"For a while, I didn't know whether you were cross-selling or really didn't know. If you can collect all the tiles of a piece of porcelain, the price of these tiles will naturally double your value."

Although Luo Fan's explanation seemed to make sense, Cheng Luming still looked skeptical, and looked at Cheng Xinwei with very puzzled eyes, hoping to hear an authoritative explanation from him.

Cheng Xinwei was also very helpless when his son failed to live up to expectations. He wondered if Cheng Luming, a big girl, seemed to be useless in practice. Should he give birth to a second child and re-train him.

Cheng Xinwei sighed and said: "As Luo Fan said, if all the tiles of a piece of porcelain appear at the same time, the price of the tiles is often not comparable to that of a single tile."

"Especially, the porcelain pieces of this piece of shadow celadon are perfectly preserved. If you don't look closely at the splicing, you can't even see the flaws. The price will reach a new height."

"Of course, even this case is difficult to compare with the original product in good condition."

"If the shadow celadon of this quality and size is intact, the market price is about 80."

"The porcelain pieced together from these seven tiles is in excellent condition, so although the price is greatly reduced, it shouldn't be a problem to sell it for 10 yuan."

"Find a master with better craftsmanship to repair it, and it can even be sold for 30 million."

"So the guaranteed value of each piece of porcelain is nearly 5000 yuan, which is completely unmatched by your piece of white porcelain."

After the explanation, Cheng Xinwei still did not forget to praise Luo Fan: "It is really scary for young people. Everyone understands this truth, but it is usually used on porcelain that is accidentally destroyed."

"After all, it is basically impossible to find every part of a piece of porcelain from countless pieces of porcelain."

The strength of a person who can accomplish this kind of thing is absolutely terrifying. Cheng Xinwei also believed Qin Miaomiao's words at this time, maybe it is such an outstanding person who is worthy of him.

Seeing Cheng Xinwei who praised Luo Fan so much, Cheng Luming felt uncomfortable as if a fire was burning in his chest, so he retorted:
"Since you also said that this is almost impossible to accomplish, then there must be something tricky in it. Maybe these tiles were deliberately prepared by Luo Fan for this competition."

"He should have an intact small bowl of shadow celadon, and then in order to win the game, he directly smashed this small bowl with despicable means, and only then did he have these intact pieces of shadow celadon."

"Otherwise, how could he do such an almost impossible thing?"

Just kidding, Cheng Xinwei didn't know if this shadow celadon was dropped right away?
These fractures are obviously eroded by the years, how could it be something that just fell out.

What's more, the tile project was also chosen by himself, and it was impossible for Luo Fan to predict and arrange all this in advance.

Although it is basically impossible for this kind of thing to happen, Luo Fan has clearly proved with his own strength that he has this ability to turn decay into magic, and Cheng Xinwei has no choice but to obey.

Hearing his son's unwise speech, Cheng Xinwei's face darkened immediately, and he couldn't stand it any longer. This was simply embarrassing to the Cheng family.

It seems that the behavior of having a second child is already imperative. If the Cheng family is really to be handed over to this bastard, I guess I will see the decline of the Cheng family in less than a hundred years.

Cheng Xinwei never imagined that instead of activating Cheng Luming's potential as he expected, this time the competition completely exposed his incompetence.

But that's okay, there is still a chance now, if it is not revealed until later, the position of the head of the family can only be given up to other branches.

According to this statement, Cheng Xinwei actually has to thank Luo Fan. If Luo Fan hadn't appeared, he really wouldn't have discovered that his son was such a waste so early.

Thinking of this, Cheng Xinwei regretted again. With such an excellent person as Luo Fan guarding Qin Miaomiao, it seemed that his plan of "strong alliance" would not work.

Cheng Xinwei yelled at the unconvinced Cheng Luming: "Shut up, why did I give birth to your useless son."

What Cheng Luming said was correct, the gap between him and Luo Fan was indeed unimaginable, but unfortunately, he was the only one who was worse.

Facing Cheng Xinwei's scolding, Cheng Luming wanted to refute, but it was obvious that Cheng Xinwei didn't want to talk to him any more, so he directly said to the butler beside him:
"Butler Zhou, take Cheng Luming to his room and lock him up, so that he can reflect on himself."

Cheng Xinwei also didn't want to save face for Cheng Luming. Face is something he earned, not given by others.

He directly called the housekeeper with a big wave of his hand, and ordered the housekeeper to take Cheng Luming to his room and put him in confinement. No one can release him without his permission.

The butler also knew that Cheng Xinwei was definitely serious this time. Cheng Luming struggled all the way, or was he and his servants forced to lock him up.

It can be predicted that Cheng Luming's life will never be easy in the future, after all, Cheng Xinwei, whom he relies on, has already sentenced him to death.

With Cheng Luming's exit in this game, Luo Fan's victory was undoubtedly declared without any suspense.

Under Cheng Xinwei's signal, the others also wisely left the hall first. For a while, only Cheng Xinwei, Qin Miaomiao and Luo Fan were left in the very lively hall just now.

After the idlers left, Qin Miaomiao couldn't wait to ask Luo Fan, and said, "Luo Fan, where did you find these porcelain pieces?"

Cheng Xinwei, who was about to say something, immediately closed his mouth when he heard this. In fact, he was also very curious. There is such a shocking leak here that he didn't notice?

Only then did the three realize that since Cheng Luming didn't question the price of these tiles, the judges hadn't had time to ask Luo Fan about the price of these tiles.

Of course Cheng Luming would not question this point, after all he watched Luo Fan rummaging in the pool of tiles, and it was no accident that these tiles came from that pool of tiles.

Facing Qin Miaomiao's question, Luo Fan said lightly, "It's the big porcelain shop on the right hand side, and his house has a porcelain pool of tens of square meters."

"I spent a long time scouring in that porcelain pool, and I finally got all the pieces of this set of shadow celadon."

"The price of these porcelain tiles is not expensive. It was agreed at the beginning that you can pick a piece for 70 yuan, and it only cost [-] yuan."

70 yuan in exchange for 10 yuan of tiles?This rate of return on investment is simply astonishing. You must know that Cheng Luming can arouse everyone's amazement when he used 1000 yuan to win [-] yuan, let alone Luo Fan's amazing operation.

Although Qin Miaomiao already had some understanding of Luo Fan's strength, this incident simply refreshed Qin Miaomiao's understanding of Luo Fan. Is this kind of thing really something that humans can do?

She had also been in contact with Luo Fan before, but she only saw Luo Fan touching some calligraphy and painting, and the only time she crossed the line was on that Fang Yuxi and that jade toad.

Although Luo Fan became famous because of his ancestral porcelain, since it is an ancestral item, it is normal for him to have a thorough understanding.

As the saying goes, there is a specialization in art, so Qin Miaomiao took it for granted that Luo Fan might be a master who is good at calligraphy, painting and jade, but not good at porcelain, so he didn't see him touch porcelain.

It's just that what happened this time undoubtedly told her that Luo Fan is not only good at porcelain, but also very good at it, otherwise it would be impossible to do such a shocking thing.

Cheng Xinwei, on the other hand, looked at Luo Fan with a look of admiration, as if he had a child like Luo Fan.

If such an outstanding young man was his son, how could the Cheng family need to worry about Qin Miaomiao's "strong alliance".

Or if he has Luo Fan's ability, he can definitely lead the Cheng family to glory.

Thinking of his son, Cheng Xinwei was furious again. His son was a waste to the extreme. He was crushed by Luo Fan in all aspects from character to ability. No wonder Qin Miaomiao looked down on him.

In this case, unless Qin Miaomiao was blind, it was normal to look down on him.

Although he knew the source of Luo Fan's tiles, he didn't have the slightest plan to go to Taobao. He also knew that there was indeed such a huge pool of tiles in that store.

It's just that there is a porcelain pond, and he has been there a few times, but he has basically gained nothing. After all, he does not have Luo Fan's ability to turn decay into magic.

Thinking of this, Cheng Xinwei put away his thoughts, and said with a serious face: "The episode of the competition is over, and it's time to talk about the business."

"Although the game was not long, it was exciting enough. It almost made me forget the business."

"In fact, our Cheng family has already prepared the blue-and-white intertwined lotus jar with a hundred-shou pattern. I have just informed the servants to get it. Niece Qin, please wait here for a while, and it should be delivered soon."

After the matter of Cheng Luming, Cheng Xinwei didn't have the slightest intention to keep Qin Miaomiao. He still had a lot of things to deal with.

Sure enough, as Cheng Xinwei said, he was almost overwhelmed by this little episode. If it wasn't for Cheng Xinwei's reminder, Qin Miaomiao would not be able to remember the main purpose of this trip for a while.

Qin Miaomiao sighed when thinking of the blue and white vase with intertwined branches and lotus patterns, this piece of porcelain has been in their Qin family for almost 100 years, and it was handed down by Qin Fenghua's grandfather.

Like Luo Fan's porcelain bowl, this blue-and-white vase with entangled lotus and hundred-shou pattern can be said to be a family heirloom, and it has been passed down as an inheritance of the Qin family.
