Chapter 172 Game
Chapter 172. Game
"This is the double-round narcissus basin with magpie pattern on blue ground and yellow color. It has square lips, shallow belly, flat bottom, and six flat feet. It is said that this double-round shape first appeared in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, flourished in the Song Dynasty, and disappeared during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. There are so many of them, and there are only three models in the Dayazhai series.”

"This is a pink-colored purple flower-and-bird high-footed bowl with an open mouth and a deep belly, but it looks dignified and small. What is rare is that there is a circle of gold painting on the edge of the bowl and the protrusions of the high feet, which makes the flowers and birds more expressive. It is precious according to the royal family, and now the starting price at the auction house is more than 500 million."

"Yes, this pair of vases should be the Furong Tianqiu vases with green ground and green colors. They were just auctioned off in the autumn auction in Hong Kong last year. The transaction price was 720 million. There is also this one, a round cylinder of Xianzhi longevity peach with yellow ground and ink colors. , they were also paired at first, but later..."

As soon as the five pieces of Daya Zhai porcelain appeared, all the merchants in Tiangong Street couldn't help surrounding them, pointing and discussing loudly, as if they were their own.

In fact, although these pieces of Dayazhai porcelain belong to Yongrongzhai, they have been widely circulated in the industry when they came out in the early years, and many people have studied them.

Now that it was revealed, You Zhengxing didn't even need to introduce it at all, he just sneered slightly from the side.

Qu Zhinong knew that he didn't need to bother with identification any more, so he glanced at him immediately:
"Mr. You has moved all his wealth out of his pocket just to compete with others?"

"That's right, I also ask President Qu for advice."

"If you don't dare to advise, you are not afraid that they will also have something at the bottom of the box. If you lose, these five precious Daya Zhai porcelain will inevitably be damaged?"

"Do you think it's possible?"

You Zhengxing's tone was cold, and he glanced coldly.

Qu Zhinong felt a little unhappy when he saw him looking like he had a chance to win, but he also knew that he did have the arrogance. With these five pieces of Dayazhai porcelain, not to mention just one person, even some big auction houses would be hard-pressed to put them together. Get something comparable to it.

Looking at Ren Ping again, from the very beginning of the game, he should have known that if he wanted to beat You Zhengxing's many years of treasures, he had to take a novel and sideways route.

Therefore, the porcelains just selected, from bionic porcelain to Zhuge bowls, are all heterogeneous to some extent.

But after all, this is only a stopgap measure. When faced with real treasures of porcelain, even heterogeneous things will appear eclipsed. This is by no means that he is not capable, but that he has indeed lost in his heritage.

At this time, Ren Ping's expression remained the same, scanning the five pieces of Daya Zhai porcelain from left to right, he couldn't tell what he was thinking.

Even though Ye Shiyun was an outsider, when she saw the reactions of Qu Zhinong and the merchants, she knew that the situation was not good, so she hurriedly approached and lowered her voice:

"These are the porcelains used by that old witch Cixi?"

"It's Daya Zhai Porcelain." Qu Zhinong corrected.

"I know, I know, but is it really that precious? Including the 900 million piece I mentioned before?"

"That's not true. It's just a rumor. I don't know if it's returned to Yongrongzhai, but looking at it now, it doesn't matter."

Ye Shiyun understood what he said, and her face darkened:
"No chance at all?"

Qu Zhinong shook his head, and was about to ask if Ren Ping had found any more valuable porcelain, when suddenly, Ren Ping smiled, so casually, as if the situation in front of him was worthless to him. Like mentioning.

When he smiled, the others looked at each other in blank dismay.

I thought to myself that among the five pieces of Daya Zhai porcelain, if you randomly pick out one that is more than 500 million treasures, you are almost certain to win. You just won three rounds, five to three, at least they won't lose.

Moreover, according to the agreement, every time a game is lost, the porcelain that is rated as "stone" will be chopped into pieces on the spot, just like You Zhengxing just did.

Five pieces of porcelain, if they were to be smashed together, I don’t know how much they would lose. Judging from the situation of the three games just now, it is very likely that You Zhengxing would suffer worse losses. It would really be "a jade and a stone".

However, the rules of this game are still set by you, which really calls yourself to dig a hole and bury it yourself.

"Why are you laughing? If you don't think of a solution quickly, do you really want to lose 4000 million to others!"

Ye Shiyun on the side poked Ren Ping's lower back vigorously to wake him up.

Ren Ping was not worried at all, and smiled:

"Don't worry, you can't lose."

He didn't deliberately lower his voice, so everyone heard it.

You Zhengxing sneered at first: "Hmph! Overestimate yourself!"

Qu Zhinong and others didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd. When they asked repeatedly, he just didn't tell them, so everyone thought he was being mysterious or deliberately delaying time.

"This Mr. Ren has good eyesight, and it's surprisingly high. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to find a piece of bionic porcelain and a Zhuge bowl worth more than 200 million in just two hours."

"But it's at the top of the line. Young people, you're full of energy. If you don't set up such a weird gamble and put yourself at an absolute disadvantage from the very beginning, you will probably win Yongrongzhai."

"Yes, I can't understand what he is thinking, or how much he knows about Yongrong Zhai. Doesn't he know that these Dayazhai porcelains in the hands of You Zhengxing are extremely rare?"

"Forget it, I wanted to help him today, but it seems that there is nothing I can do. Let's see what treasures he found just now."

While everyone was discussing, You Zhengxing had already grown impatient and cast a cold look:
"Mr. Ren, what do you compare my five pieces of porcelain with? Hurry up."

Before the words fell, everyone's eyes shot at him.

I saw that Ren Ping didn't hesitate anymore, he reached out among the pottery in front of the table, picked out a white glaze bottle with a small mouth and a deep belly, and held it up.

"This should be an elephant ear statue. Although it also has two bottle ears, it is different from the amphora just now..."

Qu Zhinong recognized the shape of the bottle at a glance and was still explaining casually.

But the next second, with a bang, Ren Ping threw the thing to the ground, and the pure white glazed porcelain pieces immediately splashed to the ground.

Everyone was taken aback, before they could react, Ren Ping picked another item from the table and held it up.

This time it was a porcelain cup no more than the size of a palm. Although it looked inconspicuous, in the antique business one does not judge by size. For example, the set of Twelve Flower God Cups that Ren Ping worked hard to collect before was a national treasure.

Qu Zhinong glanced at it hastily, although he couldn't see clearly, he said instinctively:
"The pattern on this porcelain cup looks very familiar. If it is the golden wire pattern known as 'eel blood', it belongs to Ge Kiln porcelain among the five famous kilns. It is indeed very..."

boom!
Ren Ping smashed it casually again, looking like he was throwing a firecracker, calm and composed.

After falling, he took out the third piece, lifted it skillfully, and then waved it casually.

This time, the crowd didn't even see what it was, and Qu Zhinong naturally didn't have time to speak, and saw that there were many large and small pieces of porcelain on the ground.

The shattering of these three things took only a moment, and after the three sounds, everyone was a little numb, their expressions were like dementia, only the shock in their hearts remained undiminished.

I thought that Ren Ping was crazy, or seeing You Zhengxing dropped three pieces, he was addicted to seeing himself, and wanted to copy it?
You Zhengxing was the first to react. He stared at Ren Ping coldly and snorted:
"What? Can't afford to lose?"

"How come, didn't I admit defeat?"

Ren Ping smiled lightly.

You Zhengxing didn't know what he meant, so he frowned and remained silent.

Qu Zhinong at the side probably guessed his intentions, but he was not sure, so he gathered himself together:
"Mr. Ren is too impatient. Even if you can't compare with Daya Zhaici, it's good for us to open our eyes. Perhaps, you have very good eyesight, and you may not necessarily lose as we said."

"President Qu, there is no need to be modest. I can still trust your eyesight. Moreover, these items are all fakes."

"What? A fake?" Everyone was taken aback.

"Of course, otherwise, how could I have scoured so many things in two hours?"

Ren Ping smiled slightly.

Everyone was in a daze as if in the clouds, and it took a long time before they suddenly realized:
Yes, in just two hours, how could it be possible to find ten treasures and pick up ten missing items!
Not to mention two hours, an ordinary person may not be able to pick up a miss if they go shopping for two days or two months.

Just because the piece of bionic porcelain and the Zhuge bowl that Ren Ping bought just now are genuine and extraordinary, everyone naturally thinks that the other items are also treasures.

In fact, no matter how good his eyesight is, he is not a god after all, and Tiangong Street is so big, how can there be so many mistakes for him to pick up?

"This is actually a fake, then..."

After being shocked, some merchants wanted to say, since it is a fake, did it violate the rules.

But then I thought about it, just now Ren Ping only said to compare the value of the porcelain, not that it must be antiques. If You Zhengxing's craft porcelain does not count as illegal, then the fake antiques certainly don't count either.

Some people even thought further, that Ren Ping had known that he would not be able to find ten treasures, but he chose to set the bet to have ten pieces of porcelain for both parties, which meant that he had made up his mind from the beginning how many rounds he would lose.

Putting those two treasures on the table at the beginning was nothing more than to mislead You Zhengxing and give him the illusion of being nervous. After losing three rounds, he hurriedly put all the Daya Zhai porcelain at the bottom of the box on the table.

In fact, the same is lost, and the difference is quite big. Although the three pieces that You Zhengxing dropped were also crafted porcelain and fakes that were bought by being deceived, the price is really there, and the total is more than 400. Ten thousand!

As for Ren Ping, did the three counterfeits that were just found cost a few hundred dollars in total?

"It turns out that we are all self-righteous fools, thinking that others are at an absolute disadvantage in making this gamble, but in fact, each has its own advantages and disadvantages,"

"Yes, at least from the current point of view, I have not lost at all, and I have spent more than 400 million in vain. The situation in the future is not certain. This is really, haha!"

Shaking their heads and looking at each other, all the merchants in Tiangong Street had the same idea in their hearts, and they were a little dumbfounded by Ren Ping.

Ping'er in the distance also opened his mouth wide open for a long time, unable to close it:
"This person is too cunning! It looks like he is at a disadvantage, but he is actually playing tricks on others!"

"Is this called cunning?"

"Is not it?"

"Of course, the rules are clearly stated in advance, and I didn't lie to you, how can I be considered cunning?"

While explaining, the mixed-race beauty showed undisguised splendor in her eyes:

"This is called gambling, and it's much more powerful than insidious tricks. It's fine if you don't see it, and you're willing to do it if you see it, because the rules of this gambling game are that both sides have their own pros and cons, and you can only blame yourself if you lose."

Ping'er listened disapprovingly and said with a flat mouth: "I think he not only trapped the owner of Yongrongzhai, but also another person."

"Who?"

"Miss you."
