Appreciation of treasures

Chapter 807 The Battle of Faith
The seemingly absurd conversation between the two shocked the people around Sun Zhanting.

Only then did they notice that there was actually a stranger in the house.

You must know that the confrontation between Yulong Pavilion and Huai Muxuan today is not a simple contest. It represents the collision between the Jiangdong antique world and the Jiangbei antique world. It is a battle of faith.

But now Sun Zhanting, the big man in Jiangdong's antique circle, not only did not participate in this competition, he actually asked a young boy what he meant in such a tense environment.

Isn't this ridiculous?

This kid is only in his early twenties, what ability does Sun Zhanting pay so much attention to, and it is still when Sun Ji has already had a bad start.

Could it be that Sun Zhanting didn't care about the result of today's contest between Yulong Pavilion and Huai Muxuan?
Doubts linger in these people's minds, and they have a great interest in Zhao Gang's identity, but these interests will eventually turn into a sigh in their hearts. Mr. Sun Zhanting is really old, and he cares about a Mao Head boy.

"Shopkeeper Sun, how do you look?"

At this time, the host's words brought someone's attention back to the competition scene.

Five minutes had passed at this moment, and Sun Ji sighed slightly, and then put the jade mountain back to its original place, "In my opinion, this jade mountain should be a genuine product, and it was indeed made by Zhu Yongtai during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes were focused on the host, but no one noticed that after hearing these words, Zhao Gang and Sun Zhanting slowly shook their heads as if they were connected with each other.

"Since shopkeeper Sun has already given the answer, I will announce the result now. This jade mountain is..."

The host intentionally lengthened the ending, and did not continue until everyone's appetite had been whetted, "This piece of jade was not made by Zhu Yongtai in Suzhou, but by a family of jade carvings in Suzhou. Nian is famous for imitating Zhu Yongtai's techniques, but lacks strong and powerful techniques in some textures."

When Sun Ji heard this, he immediately picked up Yushan again, then raised his head, closed the curtain and sighed, "I lost this game!"

"Brother Sun has accepted!"

Zheng Jiabao smiled, and was not proud of his lead in the first game.

On the contrary, there was a trace of caution and seriousness in his eyebrows, because he knew that if he wanted to improve the appearance of Yulong Pavilion, the person he would challenge was not Sun Ji, but Sun Zhanting.

But Sun Zhanting clearly shook his head when Sun Ji announced the result just now, obviously, he could see that the Yushan Mountain was not from Zhu Yongtai's hand.

"Next, shopkeeper Sun of Huai Muxuan will unveil his collection!" The host's loud voice once again fixed the audience's attention on the second exhibit.

As the red cloth fell, a beautifully shaped Western clock appeared in front of everyone.

"This is interesting!" Zhao Gang smiled inwardly.

Western clocks are rare in the market, especially old ones. After all, this kind of thing cannot be given away, so the collection value of this kind of thing is very special.

This kind of Western clock was actually introduced into our country in the Ming Dynasty. Most of the Western clocks since the Ming Dynasty are the product of the collision between Chinese and Western cultures.

There are many Western clocks in the world, but very few of them are really old. Firstly, it is a precision instrument. Second, this thing came from the West. At that time, little was known about this Western clock in China. Once it was damaged It is difficult to restore, especially the kind of superb Western clock with complicated techniques.

For reasons such as these, Western clocks in the Ming and Qing Dynasties were expensive, and if they were used by the royal family, they would be even more valuable.And because of craftsmanship and other special collection reasons, there are very few imitations of this type of Western clock.

First, the cost of imitation is high, and second, it is not easy to sell.

"This is the bell of the Three Gods of Fu, Lu and Shou, which was paid tribute by Western envoys in the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty. Please take a look at it, Mr. Zheng."

After Sun Ji finished speaking, he walked to the side, staring closely at Zheng Jiabao.

At this time, not only Sun Ji, but almost everyone's eyes were locked on Zheng Jiabao. According to the best-of-three system, as long as Zheng Jiabao won this sentence, the result of the first round would be announced.

Everyone knew in their hearts that today's competition was not just a competition between Sun Ji and Zheng Jiabao, but a competition between the Jiangdong and Jiangbei antique circles.

In other words, no one can bear the consequences of failure.

"Things are a good thing, but..."

After Zheng Jiabao took a few glances, he spoke slowly,
"Just what?"

When Sun Ji heard this, his expression changed immediately, and his heart was shocked. He knew in his heart that he could not lose again.

So he didn't care about his current environment at all, and asked Zheng Jiabao directly.

This sudden move immediately caused many people present to click their tongues and shake their heads.

Everyone understood that Sun Ji's move had already made him lose to Zheng Jiabao in terms of momentum.

In the competition among the antique world, the most important thing is demeanor. When others are talking, Sun Ji, as an opponent, should keep silent, even if he knows he is going to lose, he must keep silent.

This is demeanor.

In a sense, antique appreciation is actually very similar to gambling, both of which are the behavior of gamblers, but the essential difference between the two is that gamblers can jump over the wall if they lose, but antique appreciation cannot. Hit the eye, the skills are not as good as people.

"It's just that the problem lies in the Three Gods of Fu, Lu, and Shou. As far as I know, the Western clocks in the Jiajing period were hand-beaten, and the surface was painted in a unique way. The shape of hammering is not so regular, and thick paint is applied for the sake of beauty, but the anti-rust technology at that time was still very backward, so brass sheets were generally used as raw materials for statues, but the raw materials of your statue of the three gods According to my opinion, it should not be brass, right?"

As soon as Zheng Jiabao said this, Sun Ji immediately became excited, "You are right, but my three god clocks are made of brass, there is no doubt about that!"

"But in my opinion, it's not all brass." Zheng Jiabao was also tit for tat.

Immediately, the atmosphere in the audience became heated. The host stood up and pressed down with his hands, "Since everyone has different opinions, let's invite the judges to take a look!"

Then someone sent the Three Divine Bells to the judge's seat. At this time, there were three people sitting on the judge's seat, and one of them was Ding Shanyou.

And when Zhao Gang was staring at Ding Shanyou closely, a familiar voice suddenly came from his ear.
