And there are not only domestic exhibits, but also many things from abroad.
【Name】:Pumpkin
【Creator】:Yayoi Kusama
[Creation time]: 1960
【Value】: 30 million RMB
"Yayoi Kusama?" Xu Lang muttered in a low voice.
"Yes!" Ye Lan was very close and naturally heard it.
When these exhibits were delivered, no specific information was marked on them, and it all depended on the exhibitors' abilities.
Of course, as one of the organizers, Ye Lan knew the specific information.
She originally thought that Xu Lang could only authenticate domestic items, but she didn't expect that he could also authenticate foreign sculptures.
"A little bit." Xu Lang nodded.
Looking at Xu Lang's humble look, Ye Lan vaguely remembered that Xu Lang had the same expression when he helped him identify the mask before.
You know, some appraisal masters are usually only proficient in one category, such as jewelry and jade are one category, and purple clay is another category. There are almost no all-rounders.
But what Xu Lang showed was beyond Ye Lan's imagination.
Ye Lan also wanted to test Xu Lang's knowledge.
"I have to empty your mind today!" Ye Lan excitedly pulled Xu Lang to another painting.
This is an oil painting, and in it there are two clowns, one playing the saxophone and the other playing the accordion.
The painting is very abstract, Xu Lang thinks his random doodles are better looking than this. [Title]: "The Clown and the Saxophone Player"
【Painter】:Bernard Buffet
【Creation time】:20th century
【Value】:15 million
"This thing is worth more than 10 million. The painter's name is Bernard Buffet."
Ye Lan nodded.
"This watch is called the Era Grand Cast, and it is inlaid with rose crystals and diamonds."
"This Hermès crocodile leather bag costs more than 20 million yuan."
“This is a traditional Chinese painting, “National Fragrance Spring Rain””
Along the way, Ye Lan took Xu Lang to look at all the exhibits.
The two of them were a perfect match, attracting many envious and jealous looks from people.
"I really admire you!" Ye Lan bowed to Xu Lang in a rare and playful manner.
"In this exhibition hall, there are statues, jades, luxury goods, abstract paintings, realistic paintings, and Chinese paintings from ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad."
Ye Lan named a bunch of things as if he was reading out the names of dishes.
"I can't finish talking about this, and you actually know all of them! I really want to take your brain apart to see what's inside!"
She said exaggeratedly.
"My eyes are amazing!" Xu Lang hinted.
"Okay, okay, okay! Got it! The appraisal competition is about to start, let's go!"
Ye Lan familiarly pulled Xu Lang in, and after a walk around, the two became much closer.
"You are good at identifying things, but you don't recognize these contestants!"
At this moment, there were already quite a few people sitting in the viewing stand, and Ye Lan brought Xu Lang to the front.
She said to Xu Lang in a somewhat ostentatious manner.
Although I really want to say that these contestants can get to know each other if they want to.
But seeing Ye Lan's proud look, Xu Lang gave up the idea.
"Look, that old man in a Tang suit is a professor in the history department of Peking University and Tsinghua University. He wins prize money every time he participates in a competition, and then uses the prize money to support poor students. It's amazing!"
Even Ye Lan was full of praise for the old man.
Xu Lang nodded. What Ye Lan said was exactly the same as what he saw. This old man was indeed worthy of respect.
"And the guy over there is Hongkong's appraisal expert, and he's the official appraiser of Deshijia Auction House!"
"That's from Guangdong Province." Ye Lan introduced patiently.
These players all have some reputation, have unique skills, and are not specialized in just one thing.
The props prepared by the organizers are also very tricky.
Almost every aspect is covered, but there are always players who can identify them.
Even for the first few pieces, everyone could tell their authenticity and value at a glance.
The treasure appraisal process was boring, but everyone present watched it with great interest.
When the final began, the host kept it a secret.
In the center of the booth, an exhibit covered with red cloth slowly rose up.
He lifted the red cloth, and a bronze ware full of the breath of time appeared on the exhibition stand.
This thing is square and has four legs supporting it.
The tops converge diagonally upward to form a conical top.
Its color is the dark green color common in bronze ware, which is the result of copper oxidation.
In addition, it is covered with various floral and bird patterns, which is very delicate.
Knowledgeable viewers have already recognized that this is a ritual vessel, scientifically known as the bronze square shaped Yi, which is a common bronze vessel.
"This is the topic of our finals! The first person to identify it will be the champion of this conference!"
As soon as the host finished speaking, Xu Lang seemed to be able to see the flames of war in the contestants' eyes.
Chapter 49: Flies coming to the door
After the host announced the start of the competition, the contestants used all their skills to start the identification.
Xu Lang watched with great interest as they took out various tools, including magnifying glasses, flashlights, and calipers, which were relatively common.
What's more, Professor Su from Peking University and Tsinghua University, after obtaining the consent of the organizer, gently poked the rust on the bronze ware with a steel needle.
Xu Lang vaguely remembered that this was to identify the age of bronze ware by the hardness of the copper rust. He had seen it in a book, but had not had the opportunity to practice it.
At this time, Ye Lan did not watch the game. Instead, he looked around and made sure that no one was paying attention to him. Then he quietly put his mouth close to Xu Lang's ear.
"In fact, our organizers have not identified this bronze square Yi either."
Ye Lan was afraid of being heard by others, so she moved very close to Xu Lang. Xu Lang could feel her breath and his neck felt itchy.
Seeing Xu Lang looking at him in surprise, Ye Lan put his index finger in front of his mouth.
"Speak softly, it won't be good if others find out." She waved her hand, motioning Xu Lang to move his head closer.
"Then where did this thing come from?" Xu Lang asked, lowering his voice in cooperation.
The two people's heads were very close to each other.
Ye Lan nodded with satisfaction.
"The organizer has been looking for it for a long time. It is said that a mysterious person found it in an ancient tomb. The organizer's experts have not identified it either, otherwise they would not take out an antique of this level for identification. Don't tell anyone, otherwise it will be illegal."
"What about you? What do you think?"
Ye Lan noticed that after he finished speaking, Xu Lang showed a mysterious smile on his face.
She quickly asked Xu Lang for his opinion.
But Xu Lang smiled and shook his head, refusing to tell Ye Lan.
Then he stood up straight.
Ye Lan wanted to ask more questions, but was afraid of leaking the secret, so he could only stamp his feet in frustration.
Although their little actions were subtle, they were still noticed by those who were paying attention.
As soon as Ye Lan and Xu Lang entered the audience seats of the stadium, they were seen by a pretty boy named Wang Hao.
This Wang Hao, relying on the business dealings between his family and Ye Lan, has been pestering Ye Lan.
But Ye Lan had long known that this person had problems with his lifestyle and had never bothered to pay attention to him.
Originally, Wang Hao's seat in the audience was quite far away from Ye Lan. His original plan was to find Ye Lan after the game was over.
But when Wang Hao saw how intimate Xu Lang and Ye Lan were, he became jealous and didn't even wait for the game to be over.
He squeezed through the crowd and headed towards Ye Lan.
Fortunately, there were no seats arranged at the conference and everyone had to stand to watch, otherwise it would have caused public outrage.
"Ye Lan, long time no see!" Wang Hao acted intimately as soon as he saw Ye Lan.
"Hmm!" In front of outsiders, Ye Lan regained his cold look.
Seeing Wang Hao still approaching shamelessly, and then seeing many people slowly approaching him, Ye Lan frowned.
She walked to Xu Lang's left very naturally, and whispered to him, "Help me block it, this guy is so annoying."
Xu Lang looked at Ye Lan mockingly.
Ye Lan noticed Xu Lang's gaze and pursed her lips embarrassedly.
"Eh? Ye Lan, why did you leave? We haven't seen each other for such a long time, we should catch up on the past." A gloomy look flashed across Wang Hao's face.
Then he pretended to be innocent and wanted to talk to Ye Lan.
He even wanted to go past Xu Lang and walk to Ye Lan again.
But Xu Lang wouldn't really ignore Ye Lan.
He took a casual glance and used his pupil technique to see that this man was indeed a scumbag who used money to pave the way for others and maintained relationships with many girls at the same time.
"Hey! Brother, you and I are similar, how about we chat?"
Xu Lang hugged Wang Hao. "Who are you? I..."
Wang Hao was about to push Xu Lang away, but he found that his arms were like steel bars, tightly holding him and he couldn't break free at all.
"Let me go!"
Wang Hao is a domineering rich second-generation, but he is not a fool. Just looking at the way Xu Lang is dressed, you can tell that he is not an ordinary person.
Now that he couldn't break free, his tone naturally became weaker.
Xu Lang was also unwilling to keep hugging a man, so after seeing that Wang Hao was left behind, he naturally let him go.
"Remember to treat me to a meal!" Xu Lang bent down and said in Ye Lan's ear.
She blushed and nodded.
Wang Hao looked at Xu Lang's actions, and a hint of viciousness flashed in his eyes.
Although he couldn't do anything now, he was already prepared to find an opportunity to trip Xu Lang up.
"Ye Lan, who do you think will win in the end? I think it will be Mr. Su. Mr. Su is not an ordinary person. He is well-known in the industry."
Wang Hao did not give up and kept falling.
After bragging about Professor Su, he revealed his true intentions.
"Ye Lan, you may not know this yet, but Elder Su has already agreed to be our Wang family's guest official and to do appraisals for our Wang family."
Wang Hao expressed proudly.
The reason why Professor Su agreed was because the Wang family promised to pay all the expenses for two hundred poor students in Professor Su's college every year.
This is no small sum of money.
Ye Lan couldn't help but look up to him. Professor Su was indeed an experienced appraiser with both virtue and talent in the industry.
