Chapter 19 Learn from it with sincerity!

Chapter 19. Learn from it with sincerity!

"Ren Ping? It's really you!"

"Boss Shen won't forget me, right?"

"Haha! How could it be? Even if I don't remember you, I will definitely never forget the six-character sword in your hand!"

Accompanied by hearty laughter, a middle-aged man with a calm temperament and capable demeanor came out of the room.

When I saw Ren Ping, I couldn't help but look happy.

This person is the boss of Yichengxuan, whom he met with Ren Ping not long ago: Shen Yicheng!
That day, although there were rifts due to some trivial matters, both parties were not stingy people. Instead of enmity, they took the opportunity to become friends.

Ren Ping deeply felt that Shen Yicheng was upright and worthy of close friendship.

Shen Yicheng also admired Ren Ping's youthful yet vigorous and resolute way of doing things.

More importantly, this young man's profound collection is amazing!

Just those two ancient coins...

"By the way, I have something to tell you by the way, your Mingquan Xiaotianlong has been taken to the capital by Mr. Tian for appraisal, and the result is expected to come soon."

"capital?"

Ren Ping was stunned, and a beautiful face that was exquisite but slightly aloof suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

He didn't expect Tian Minru to be so serious.

"Of course, your set of ancient coins is of such a high level that it is no small matter!"

Shen Yicheng asked Ren Ping to visit at will, while lowering his voice:
"As far as I know, Mr. Tian has been going to the capital for a few days. Although there is no conclusion yet, it is very close."

"Based on this alone, the ancient spring circle in Nanling City has been turned upside down in the past few days!"

"Now, many people are staring at you!"

"Staring at me? That set of things is probably not mine anymore, are they just staring at the truth?"

Ren Ping looked around slowly.

I saw that Yichengxuan looks small from the outside, but the furnishings inside are very good. It means that some wealth is not exposed, and it is worthy of being a famous appraisal institution in Nanling City.

There are two purposes of his trip.

One is thanks. Although the more than 50 yuan is compensation, after all, it has solved my urgent need, so I should express it;

The second is identification;

For that Qianlong calligraphy painting to be useful, it still needs a formal appraisal.

And unlike Mingquan Xiao Tianlong, who is known to be making trouble, the ownership of this thing is still a secret!

It seemed that Ren Ping had other intentions, and after a few simple greetings, Shen Yicheng invited him into the inner meeting room, while turning away from the left and right.

Ren Ping smiled, and took out the tightly wrapped book scroll from his backpack.

"What? This thing...is actually yours?"

Soon, Shen Yicheng was startled after opening the scroll.

Having worked in the collection field for decades, what happened at the Youshenghang auction a few days ago, of course, did not escape his eyes and ears.

In fact, in recent days, in addition to the appraisal news of the set of Mingquan Xiaotianlong, another major event in the collection circle of Nanling City is this Qianlong calligraphy treasure!

Almost everyone is asking about its original owner everywhere, wanting to skip the auction house and transfer it privately.

The He family even made it known that they would win at all costs!

after all--

Tongchao Wenqu, Jinshi He's family!
If these eight characters could be connected together, their meaning would be far greater than that of "Tanzhou Chronicles"!
In less than half a month, two big news in the Nanling collection circle were all related to this young man in his early twenties, and they were directly related.

For a moment, Shen Yicheng's eyes changed when he looked at Ren Ping.

"Don't be in a daze, Mr. Shen, can you identify it?"

Gently knocking on the coffee table, Ren Ping laughed.

Shen Yicheng is like waking up from a dream:
"Of course, please wait."

With that said, he got up and went out.

About 10 minutes later, when I came back, several appraisers had already followed behind me.

There are different ages, there are men and women, there are as many as seven or eight people.

Before Ren Ping could speak, Shen Yicheng cupped his hand:

"Don't worry, these are all senior appraisers I specially hired from Chengxuan. They understand the rules and have signed strict confidentiality agreements. They are not comparable to people like Zhang Yan."

Ren Ping nodded and said nothing more.

Calligraphy and painting are a major category of cultural relics, and since the appraisers like Chengxuan are experts, they really have a lot to think about.

Therefore, the so-called identification is just a process.

Soon, the results came out.

This "Tongchao Wenqu" is not considered a fine piece of extant calligraphy. It can only be regarded as an above-average work at most, but it is undoubtedly the imperial pen of Qianlong.

In addition, everyone knows its great significance to Jinshi He's family, so the initial valuation:
Ten million!

After issuing the certificate of appraisal, Shen Yicheng once again solemnly told several appraisers not to disclose any information.

He understood that the reason why Ren Ping approached Yi Chengxuan for identification was nothing more than two words——

trust!

This is exactly the most valuable thing in the collection and appraisal industry.

In the past few days, You Shengxing has been very tight-lipped. No matter who inquires, he will not let out any information.

On the surface, it seems unreasonable, but in fact, it has established prestige in the industry virtually.

Since You Shengxing can do it, Yi Chengxuan must not break the rules!

In less than half an hour, the business was done, and Ren Ping got up to leave.

Shen Yicheng was in a daze for a while, and then woke up suddenly, staying warmly, as if something was wrong.

In fact, Ren Ping noticed it when he first arrived, and the whole Yichengxuan was busy cleaning and tidying up, as if welcoming distinguished guests.

So solemn, the other party obviously has a lot of background.

"Learn from it? Is this Mr. Shen's handiwork?"

Since the other party didn't point it out, Ren Ping was not impatient and simply appreciated the calligraphy hanging on the wall.

These four words were originally the Shen family's ancestral training. Last time Ren Ping said it unintentionally, but it reminded Shen Yicheng that he simply swiped a pen and hung it in a conspicuous place for publicity.

After Shen Yicheng heard the words, he said a few words of humility, but he was still a little absent-minded.

Ten minutes later, a front desk lady hurriedly knocked on the door and came in:
"Boss Shen, here we come!"

Shen Yicheng perked up and whispered a few words to Ren Ping in a low voice before getting ready to greet him.

Ren Ping followed behind him and strolled back to the company hall.

Not long after, Shen Yicheng greeted a group of people from the elevator entrance.

There were quite a few of them, more than a dozen of them. The leader was an old man of short stature, dressed in an ancient Tang suit, with a smile on his face and a friendly demeanor.

The remaining men, women and children were different, but they all looked serious.

"Director Xin! Please don't be offended if you miss something."

From Shen Yicheng's mouth, Ren Ping learned that the old man's name is Xin Ran, and he is currently the deputy curator of the Municipal Museum, and he is quite influential in the industry in Nanling City.

As for the purpose of this trip, Shen Yicheng is not very clear, he only heard that the other party said that he was helping to identify some cultural relics, in short, it has a lot to do with it.

only……

From what Ren Ping saw, there was no one in this group except the Director Xin.

Most of the rest of the people looked disapproving, as if they felt that it was unnecessary to come to Yichengxuan for this trip, and their faces were full of disdain.

Sure enough, after exchanging greetings as usual, a sneer suddenly came from the crowd:
"Learning from it with sincerity? Appraisal of cultural relics is about professionalism, and sincerity alone is not enough!"

The one who spoke was another old man beside Xin Ran, wearing an old-style Chinese tunic suit, over seventy years old, with white beard and hair, and just by looking at it, he looked difficult to deal with.

Shen Yicheng was stunned.

Before waiting for a reply, Xin Ran also noticed the four words hanging on the wall, and quickly smoothed things over:
"Is this Mr. Shen's calligraphy? Good strokes, good composition!"

"Director Xin laughed."

"I don't know what the connotation refers to?"

"Oh, this is the legacy of the ancestors, written by the younger generation. The word 'Yicheng' not only refers to sincerity, but also honesty. It means never to be cunning or deceitful."

"Hmph! Talk to yourself!"

The old man in the Chinese tunic snorted again.

It's just that Shen Yicheng's self-cultivation skills are excellent, so he didn't hear it at all.

At the moment, he invited the group of people to the conference room as if nothing had happened, and seated the guests and hosts respectively.

Ren Ping was sitting on the side of the main seat. Those people only thought he was an employee of Yichengxuan and didn't pay much attention to him.

"Mr. Shen, I want to ask your company for help this time. Please don't blame me for coming in a hurry."

After a short awkward atmosphere, Xin Ran cupped his hands.

Shen Yicheng quickly got up to return the salute.

"The matter is of great importance, so I won't let it go. I have a few foreign cultural relics here, and I want to ask Mr. Shen to take care of them."

"Foreign cultural relics?"

Both Shen Yicheng and Ren Ping were shocked.
