Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Mr. Xu introduced directly: "Don't look at Lin Ran's young age, his level of treasure appraisal is not comparable to yours."

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other and smiled.

Judging from Lin Ran's grade, he must be in his early 20s at most.

Many people present have grandsons of this age.

How high can a collector of this age have in his appreciation of antiques?

Antique appraisal is different from other industries.

Even if you have good grades and good theoretical knowledge, you will never be able to do it without hands-on experience.

Experts in the antiques industry not only have broad knowledge, but experience is crucial.

There is a saying in the industry that if you don’t have ten years of experience, you won’t even get in.

Zhou Xuelin seemed to be similar in age to Mr. Xu. Originally, Mr. Xu had spoken, and it was difficult for others to refute.

He just smiled slightly: "I can see that this little brother is very impressive and will definitely be very capable in the future."

After Tang Lanxuan introduced him, Lin Ran knew the identity of this person.

He is not only the top collector in Cangzhou, but also the vice president of the local collection association.

The reason why he has been helping Jin Xi is because Jin Xi is his apprentice and has been by his side since he was a child.

Even at a young age, he is already well-known in the Cangzhou antique world.

At this time, the bearded man just now suddenly said again.

"We elders really can't bully the younger ones, but these two young people are almost the same. The meeting hasn't started yet, why don't we compare them first?"

Lin Ran didn't know the identity of this bearded man, but compared to other people, he was more like a supporter.

Tang Lanxuan smiled and said: "We are just here to participate in the tasting party today, it is better not to overwhelm the guests."

"You can't say that." Zhou Xuelin suddenly said: "Chang Zheng's words are rough but not rough. Although today is said to be a tasting meeting, it is really boring to just sit here and appreciate it."

"Why don't you watch the two younger generations and compare them with each other? Director Tang can also show me how much worse my education methods are than yours?"

This kind of words can be said.

Lin Ran felt that Zhou Xuelin was really an old fox.

Pretending to speak for them, he actually made things difficult for him.

Tang Lanxuan still wanted to find a reason to postpone. After all, he also knew that Lin Ran didn't like to be in the limelight.

But at this moment, Zhou Xuelin said directly to Lin Ran: "Little friend Lin, I wonder what you think?"

Lin Ran looked at Jin Xi and felt unhappy when he saw that he looked like a villain.

Lin Ran said: "I have no problem."

"Huh?" Tang Lanxuan didn't expect Lin Ran to answer like this. This really didn't seem like his character.

In the past, Lin Ran might have deliberately refused all written examinations in order to hide his identity, but today he also had other purposes for coming.

Today, so many of them are high-end people in the collection world, and they are also the target customers of their auction houses.

Lin Ran thought that as the second shareholder of the auction house, he should at least make some contribution.

You can’t really put all the responsibility on Wu Ning. I really came to the right place to participate in the tasting party today.

Many of the people in front of me came from other places, and there should not be many local antique dealers.

He still said modestly: "But this is my first time to participate in the tasting party, and I don't know the rules of the competition very well. If you accidentally lose, please don't laugh."

"Okay, it was just an exchange meeting, the results don't matter." Zhou Xuelin said with a smile.

Although his tone sounded quite bold, Lin Ran always felt that he was acting strangely for some reason.

Jin Xi looked at Lin Ran with provocative eyes.

As for the reason, Lin Ran knew it.

This matter had nothing to do with him, but he just didn't feel good about it.

And the look in his eyes seemed determined to win.

"Okay, since both parties have decided to compete, let me be the middleman." Chang Zheng said.

This bearded man looked particularly aggressive at first glance. He had been standing by just now, but now he stood up and acted as a referee.

Others are accustomed to competitions at tastings.

The first test activity to be conducted is actually very simple.

Just picking up leaks.

Of course, this search does not require them to go to the antique market, but allows them to find the most valuable cultural relics in the venue.

Regardless of the stipulated scope, there are quite a lot of cultural relics in the venue.

A rough estimate is that there are about three hundred pieces.

Time is limited to 5 minutes.

You have to find the most valuable cultural relics in the venue within 5 minutes, and finally give it to Chang Zheng in front of you for comparison.

It seems simple, but it is very difficult to do.

Without any discernment and knowledge of treasure appraisal, you really can't win this game.

Of course, this is also the purpose of the game.

When it comes to comparing with Tang Lanxuan, Lin Ran may still have concerns.

It’s just Jinxi, forget it.

The antiques industry is indeed an industry that relies on experience, but unfortunately Lin Ran's experience does not match his age.

He dared to say that he was the person who appraised the most antiques among the people present.

Of course, he didn't pay attention to the provocation of a 25-year-old young man.

The audience present was very interested in the competition.

"It's interesting. Let's see what's the most valuable here."

“What young people like is different from what we like.”

"What does that matter? The value of antiques mainly depends on their survival and age, so don't worry."

In fact, when the showdown was first proposed, the audience was somewhat opposed.

I feel like it's a bit overwhelming.

But once the competition was about to begin, they turned to spectator mode again.

Indeed, if you just appreciate it, it will inevitably be a bit boring.

As the saying goes, fighting with others is endless fun. What's the point of fighting against machines? It's more fun to watch the duel between people.

Of course, in order to better carry out the competition, people present also took the initiative to serve as volunteers.

They placed all the cultural relics around them and stood in a circle next to them.

Lin Ran looked at the cultural relics present and estimated their quantity.

In 5 minutes, the average time allocated to each antique is less than ten seconds, so time is quite tight.

So in fact, if you want to win this game, there is still a certain amount of movement that belongs to it.

Ke Yu wanted to stand up and stop him several times, but she finally chose to endure it.

At this time, he was looking at Lin Ran with a slightly uneasy expression.

Lin Ran remembered a saying in the antique circle, which is that one can determine the world at a glance.

Even treasure appraisers with rich experience can often know its approximate value based on their first impression when they see a treasure.

Of course, this does not mean that the valuation must be accurate, but it means that you can rely on your own experience to tell at a glance which cultural relics are fake.

At a conference like this, everything should be genuine.

However, there is no guarantee that someone will hit you, so at this time, you still need to concentrate.

To be honest, at first I thought 5 minutes was more than enough.

However, after actually entering the game, I realized that the time was still too hasty.
