Chapter 411 The Poor Appraiser
Chapter 411 The Poor Appraiser
[It's said that this auction house has a very strong background. I don't think even the most experienced appraisers would dare to tell the truth.]
[Haha, I think so too. I'm really looking forward to their performance.]
In a VIP room in the distance, a young man lifted the curtain and looked at the conference hall outside. He noticed Fu Ling at a glance. Although he couldn't see clearly because of the distance, he could still vaguely see some outlines.
She was chatting and laughing with the man next to her, her movements were very seductive, and he could see every frown and smile of hers.
"Who's that woman over there?" he asked the waiter.
The waiter nearby looked in the direction he pointed, then shook his head and said, "Master Qutian, we've been promoting this quite a bit, and quite a few mid- to low-end companies have come to participate. This must be the young master from one of those companies bringing his female companion."
The young man known as Master Qutian waved his hand and said nothing more. He had never left Fu Ling's side, his eyes full of greed.
The waiter beside him secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately he did not anger this young master. He secretly glanced in the direction of Fu Ling, and thought in his heart that being targeted by this philandering young master would definitely not end well.
Qu Tian is a well-known playboy and is very cruel. It is rumored that he has abused all the women who have been with him. He is also an avid fan of SM. The sexier and more charming the woman is, the more he likes her.
Fu Ling noticed that someone was watching her, and she frowned slightly.
"What's wrong, wife?" Lu Beichen asked, noticing her strangeness.
【I always feel like someone is watching me.】
【Which direction? 】
[I can't see it, it should be in a VIP room.]
If he's really targeting you, he'll definitely take action.
"Well, it's okay. If they really set their sights on me, I'd have to see if I have the strength to do it. It's okay, husband. The auction is about to start. I'm more excited about this than that peeping Tom."
Soon the auction officially began. The person supporting the auction was an old man. When many people saw him, they exclaimed. Among the various voices, Fu Ling learned the identity of the old man.
This old man named Yayoi Kusama is a very famous appraiser and the ace host of this auction. All the items are appraised by him.
Fu Ling felt secretly happy. Tsk tsk, what kind of expression would he have if he found out that all the items he had carefully appraised before were fake?
【Haha, I'm really looking forward to it. 】
The "Six Dragons" that was put back was a painting that Fu Ling copied from the original painting, and the other imitations were purchased on Kuaiyimao based on the originals.
We have to praise the awesome imitation industry of later generations. Basically, these things have appeared in later generations, and imitations are emerging in an endless stream.
After Yayoi Kusama's opening remarks, the auction officially began.
The first item to be auctioned is a treasure passed down from the ancient country of Japan, a pair of exquisite sapphire and pearl earrings, with a starting price of 500 million island dollars.
Fu Ling couldn't help but feel secretly happy. The pair of earrings was lying in her space. They were actually very beautiful. Putting aside the national hatred and family feuds, she was very satisfied with the pair of earrings.
After the introduction, for the sake of fairness, other appraisers present will conduct an evaluation.
When it was passed to them, the first person took out the identification tool. The smile on his face suddenly froze, then turned ashen, and sweat began to drip from his forehead.
Fu Ling heard his inner thoughts and almost burst out laughing.
[Baka, what are the Qutian family doing this time? It's killing me! They really don't treat me as an outsider! What should I do? Should I tell them or not? Forget it, let's leave it to someone else.]
Thinking of this, he forced a smile and pushed the pair of earrings to another appraiser next to him.
After seeing the product, the three well-known appraisers all had the same look of astonishment on their faces. They deeply regretted being invited here and should have decisively refused.
They looked at each other, and the three of them looked at each other, not knowing whether to tell the truth or a lie.
Just as they were hesitating, the host, Yayoi Kusama, smiled and said to the three of them, "How is it? Is it authentic? Please tell us the results of your appraisal."
The three of them looked at Yayoi Kusama's expression and felt that she was mocking them, and seemed to see a threat in it.
I have no choice but to start commenting against my conscience.
“It’s genuine…”
He also explained on the spot how to identify the genuine products.
Yayoi Kusama's smile became even brighter, and the three men lowered their heads helplessly. After spending most of their lives in appraisal, they failed at this auction. Their faces turned red, and they lowered their heads, not daring to look at the people in the audience.
After getting the approval, it naturally came to the most critical auction stage.
Even without the appraisals of these three people, there has never been any fake goods at Qutian Auction House, so everyone can feel very confident when purchasing.
Finally, the pair of earrings was bought by a young lady for 5000 million island dollars.
None of the items that came up for auction were genuine. The three appraisers lost their minds and finally gave up and just appraised with their eyes closed.
Little did she know that the performance of the three made Yayoi Kusama somewhat dissatisfied. She asked them to come for appraisal, which was to give them face, but they were so perfunctory. It seemed that they didn't want to stay in this business anymore.
Everyone had different thoughts, and Fu Ling was very excited watching this good show, especially the three appraisers, who made Fu Ling laugh a lot.
[How pitiful! These three have it so hard. I feel a little sorry for them now. Not only are they helping people auction off those fake items, but they're also being hated by them. It's so pitiful~ Haha.]
[Yayoi Kusama is obviously not ordinary. This auction house has a very impressive background. Otherwise, it would be a surprise that such a renowned appraiser wouldn't even have the guts to speak the truth.]
【As far as I know, there are military forces behind this.】
[Hmm! It seems so.]
"Six Dragons" was the finale of today's performance. The three people who were showing off were all stunned when they took it in their hands to identify it. Although it was a replica, it was the only one that impressed them this time. Most people really couldn't tell the real thing from the fake. It was the only work that could be mistaken for the real thing.
The three of them were whispering about the imitation and nodding their heads, seeming to be very satisfied with the painting.
The two and a half hour auction was a real torture for them. However, they felt a little comforted when they saw the replica in the end. At least it still had collection value.
[Wife, they seem to like your paintings very much.]
Lu Beichen had a smile on his face, which was a recognition of Fu Ling's strength.
[That's right, don't you see who I am? They're lucky to be able to evaluate my paintings.]
In the end, the painting was sold for 5000 million island currency.
The three appraisers felt very upset. If their secret was exposed later, they would anger a group of tycoons.
As soon as the auction ended, the three of them hurriedly left on the pretext of having something to do, not wanting to stay even a moment longer.
