Chapter 168 Ten Pieces of Porcelain
Chapter 168. Ten pieces of porcelain
"Miss, shall we stay and watch the excitement?"

"Of course, why not read it?"

The mixed-race beauty looked at the back of Ren Ping going upstairs: "This man is very interesting, I guess the next game will be very interesting."

As he spoke, his eyes sparkled.

The maid next to her suddenly had a head as big as a bucket. She knew her young lady better than anyone else. Although her appearance and temperament were both excellent, and she had foreign blood, she gave her a sense of distance from strangers.

But in fact, it's a complete joke.

Especially when the scene in front of her eyes is shining, it means that she has completely "sinked" into it.

"Miss, did my wife tell me when I went out, we are here to inquire about the situation, not for fun."

"Yeah, so what?"

The mixed-race beauty had an expression like why did you ask me that.

The maid had no choice but to clarify: "Then what are you doing now?"

"I was looking into the situation, didn't you see it?"

"No, I just saw that you were infatuated with a strange man, and even the millions of gadgets you found were smashed, and you won't be compensated."

"Ping'er, you are so superficial,"

The mixed-race beauty was not angry at all. Instead, she taught the maid a lesson:

"Think about it, that person can also find treasures here, does that mean his eyesight is as good as ours?"

"So what?"

"You saw what happened just now, what is his relationship with Yongrongzhai?"

"I almost made a move, so of course we are mortal enemies."

"Here! An enemy's enemy is a friend. Since we came here this time for this Yongrongzhai, and we met such an expert, how can we miss the next scene?"

With a playful smile on her face, the half-race beauty turned and went upstairs.

The maid named Ping'er picked up the porcelain left by Ren Ping, followed closely while muttering to herself:
"You're right, but you clearly have an expression of joining in the fun..."

When the two returned to the upper floor, Ren Ping also noticed it, but he didn't think about it, but ordered the two workers to put the porcelain they had scoured on the table one by one.

Seeing that most of these porcelain wares are mainly small and exquisite, such as cups, bowls, cups, cups, etc., there is not a single case of large porcelain, and they can't help showing doubts.

I thought that although the value of porcelain is not determined by its size, after all, large porcelain types are cheaper. What is so special about these small porcelain types that they can surpass the famous Dayazhai porcelain?

Besides, didn't we say ten pieces? Why are there only nine?

"There is still half an hour, why don't you come back after picking?"

Ye Shiyun looked at her watch and frowned.

"I have picked them all. I originally collected ten pieces, but something unexpected happened."

"What accident?"

"I accidentally smashed one."

Ren Pingyun said calmly, but everyone was stunned again, not sure if it was true or not.

You Zhengxing sneered: "Is it smashed, or did you dare not show it to shame? Mr. Ren is probably taking us all for fools?"

Ren Ping smiled slightly and ignored it.

At this time, Qu Zhinong and others had already gone through the nine pieces of porcelain. Although they didn't look carefully for a while, they still had a good idea of ​​the general situation.

I saw different expressions on everyone's faces, some frowned, some were surprised, some hesitated, they couldn't tell what the expressions were, but they only saw Ye Shiyun, who was a layman, anxiously.

However, thinking about the upcoming thrilling gambling game, the atmosphere was very consistent. Everyone looked serious and held their breath.

Qu Zhinong paused, then looked at You Zhengxing:

"Mr. You, where are your things?"

"Don't worry, it's been prepared a long time ago, and it will be delivered later."

Everyone listened to him, and they would not put all the porcelain on the bright side like Ren Ping, but would play cards one by one according to the situation, and they couldn't help but secretly sigh at his brilliance.

In this way, there will be more room for maneuver in the follow-up, and it will gain the upper hand before it even starts.

Qu Zhinong frowned and looked at Ren Ping, thinking that you didn't agree on the specific rules of the game in advance, and now you are being taken advantage of openly, there is nothing you can do about it.

Just as he was about to announce the start of the gambling game, You Zhengxing suddenly raised his hand:

"Wait a minute, that's all the judges?"

As he spoke, he pointed to a group of Tiangong Street merchants on the opposite side.

Qu Zhinong frowned: "What? You think it's not enough?"

"The number of people is enough, but I am afraid that some people are biased and cannot be impartial."

"What did you say! Who can't be just?"

"Are you making it clear that you don't believe us?"

"Mr. You, what is the seventh of the Nine Principles of the Chamber of Commerce, have you forgotten?"

As soon as these words came out, all the merchants became furious, obviously aroused by You Zhengxing.

The Tiangong Street Chamber of Commerce's "Seven Do Not Distort Right and Wrong, and Disguise the Real with the False" is also one of their important principles. Over the years, the Chamber of Commerce has dealt with all incidents in a fair manner, consciously with a clear conscience.

In addition, he is also considered to be half of the collection circle. As a person in the industry, it is most taboo to be dishonest.

Therefore, what You Zhengxing said was undoubtedly an insult to the entire Tiangong Street Chamber of Commerce.

Seeing the anger of the crowd, as if they were about to eat him, You Zhengxing sneered again: "I'm afraid you all have a bad memory. You just expelled me from the chamber of commerce. What principles are you telling me now?"

Everyone was at a loss for words for a moment, not knowing how to refute.

Qu Zhinong snorted:
"According to you, how can you rest assured?"

"It's simple, as long as each of you swears on the reputation of your own business, I have a lot of people here, and I'm not afraid of you breaking your oath under the eyes of everyone."

"The one who broke the oath is your grandson!"

Everyone was shocked and angry again.

Qu Zhinong waved his hand to signal silence, then narrowed his eyes:
"It's not too much to ask, but with so many people, it's too troublesome to swear one by one. Why don't you let me represent you and swear in the name of the chamber of commerce?"

You Zhengxing pondered for a while, thinking that with Qu Zhinong's reputation in the circle, it would be best for him to be the representative, not to mention the golden signboard of the Chamber of Commerce, so he nodded in agreement.

Qu Zhinong didn't talk nonsense, and immediately swore with his right hand:
"I, Qu Zhinong, swear in the name of Tinggulou and Tiangong Street Chamber of Commerce that in all matters in the industry, I will be upright and impartial, and I will not confuse black and white for personal gain,"

"If you break your oath, let me hear that the ancient building is closed, and the Tiangong Street Chamber of Commerce will be disbanded immediately!"

The voice fell to the ground, and all the merchants were full of awe.

Ren Ping couldn't help but nodded, thinking that Tiangong Street's reputation in the Nanling industry in recent years is second only to the Spring and Autumn League. The main reason is that all the merchants are united and strictly abide by the principles, and they should not be underestimated because of Yongrongzhai. This group of people.

At that moment, Qu Zhinong announced the start of the gambling game.

It is said to be one round, but according to the rules, it is actually ten rounds. During this period, the scheming contest and even the order of porcelain appearance are very important.

Everyone had already guessed that both parties were testing things out at the beginning, and would not take out what was at the bottom of the box immediately, but when the first piece of porcelain was put on the table, they couldn't help but be surprised.

I saw that You Zhengxing directly moved a yellow-ground pastel flower pot with butterfly patterns from a nearby display rack. Ren Ping's side was even more outrageous. It was a plate that looked like a fruit plate, with a few grapes on it. , Qingti and other colorful fruits.

"Mr. You, isn't this the craft porcelain in your shop? How can you use it to mix it?"

Everyone first pointed to the flower pot with butterfly pattern in front of You Zhengxing, with surprise on their faces.

This kind of handicraft porcelain is one of the fine works of Yongrongzhai, and it is quite famous in the market, they don't even need to look carefully to know it.

You Zhengxing did not hide anything and said calmly:
"That's right. This yellow-ground famille rose butterfly basin is one of the classic works of my Yongrongzhai. It belongs to modern craft porcelain. But so what, did you say that all ten pieces of porcelain must be ancient objects?"

Everyone frowned slightly and thought about it carefully. Just now they only mentioned ten pieces of porcelain. They did not say that they must be antiques. It was just everyone's acquiescence.

Of course, modern craft porcelain is also porcelain. As for the value, most of them are not as high as antiques, this is for sure.

However, everyone present was also in this business, and if they were to say that You Zhengxing was taking advantage of counterfeit goods and making up for it, they couldn't say it anyway.

Only Ye Shiyun didn't care about this and raised her eyebrows:
"Who are you fooling! If modern things count, how can we compare with you? Besides, this thing is only worth a few dollars. Do you want to shoddy it?"

"Hahahaha!"

Before he finished speaking, You Zhengxing started laughing, but it was towards Ren Ping:

"Mr. Ren, this is the person under your Ren's wood industry? You don't even know what modern craft porcelain is, so you dare to talk nonsense here, and want to poach the corner of my Yongrongzhai?"

"The person surnamed You is your elder after all, I would like to advise you, what do you want her to do for an employee like this who has never even entered the door, resign as soon as possible!"

"you!"

Ye Shiyun was furious, her face flushed red, she was stopped by Ren Ping before she could open her mouth to refute.

In fact, what You Zhengxing said is right. Although modern craft porcelain is not as valuable as antique porcelain, in recent years, with the increasing market demand, it has also become popular all the way. Many exquisite craft porcelain can already be sold for tens of thousands to tens of thousands. Between ten thousand.

Ye Shiyun's strength lies in enterprise management and operation. She was not proficient in this field, so she didn't understand it.

Then he smiled calmly: "Mr. You, you don't have to think about it. Just tell me how much this thing is worth."

"Ninety thousand,"

You Zhengxing stretched out his right index finger, making a nine:
"This yellow-ground famille rose butterfly basin was in the style of the Tongzhi period in the late Qing Dynasty. The original porcelain was auctioned off by a collector in the capital five years ago, and the price was 930 million. It was one of the most valuable porcelain collections at that time,"

"My craft porcelain is of course not worth so much, but I still have to pay 100% of the price. When I asked someone to make it three years ago, there were more than [-] porcelain bodies in the same furnace,"

"In the end, 90.00% were eliminated due to defects such as heat, color, texture, etc., and the remaining pieces were all high-quality products. Over the past two years, most of them were sold one after another, and only this last piece was left."

"Hmph, just based on the hard work I've spent, I'm afraid it's more than [-], right?"

When he said this, You Zhengxing was full of pride.

Qu Zhinong and others on the side knew that what he said was true and couldn't help but nod. They thought that this butterfly pattern basin was relatively expensive among modern craft porcelain, but it was indeed worth the price. They immediately turned to look at Ren Ping.

I saw that he also nodded in agreement, but then he smiled coldly:
"It's a good thing, but it's a pity that it will be smashed."
