Chapter 159 Treasure Appraisal Meeting

Jiahao asked Mr. Zheng about the matter, because when Mr. Zheng came to them before, he said he had good news to tell them, but he didn't want to meet them gambling on stones, so the matter was postponed, but now he will ask

It's not too late either.

"I almost forgot," Mr. Zheng said, "Here's what happened. In three days, the day after tomorrow, a treasure appraisal meeting will be held at Rongbaozhai in Liulichang. At that time, Lao Deng and I will

Everyone will participate, Xiao Yao and Haitao, you should go too, this is a great opportunity to strengthen your studies and increase your knowledge!"

Mr. Deng also said solemnly: "It is said that a stunning treasure will be displayed at this treasure appraisal meeting, but we still don't know what kind of treasure it is. It's so powerful, but since 'Rongbaozhai'

Since such big news has been released, what will be brought out for appreciation will definitely not be ordinary things."

"Oh, really?" After hearing what Mr. Zheng and Mr. Deng said, Jiahao immediately cheered up and said with great interest, "Master, of course we will go. With such a good opportunity, we can't

Missed it!"

One of the purposes of his coming to the capital this time is to expand his horizons and learn more, because although he now has magical eyesight, his identification knowledge is still extremely limited, so he urgently needs to learn to widely absorb relevant knowledge. If he has real skills, he can

It is really more powerful than a tiger, allowing him to dominate the antique world.

Mr. Zheng nodded happily and said, "Don't go out to do other things the day after tomorrow. Let's set off in the morning and go to Liulichang together."

"I know, Master!" Jiahao promised happily. They should be free the day after tomorrow, because there is nothing else to do except the thing that Boss Long asked them to do, and Boss Long will probably ask them to do it the day after tomorrow.

Let him appraise things. The batch of antiques to be appraised can be completed in one day at most.

After dinner, Jiahao and Lin Haitao said goodbye to Mr. Zheng and the others and returned to the guest room.

As soon as he walked into the room, Lin Haitao received a phone call. That phone call must be more important. After answering, his face changed drastically, as if there was something urgent.

"Brother Yao, I have to go out immediately because I have something to do. It's very urgent!" After hanging up the phone, Lin Haitao hurriedly walked over and said to Jiahao.

Jiahao asked in surprise: "What's wrong? Haitao, are you okay?"

He thought Lin Haitao was suddenly in trouble, but Lin Haitao shook his head and replied: "It's okay. It's just about Boss Zhong."

"Boss Zhong?" Hearing this, Jiahao was surprised, but he quickly remembered and knew what Lin Haitao was talking about. It turned out to be related to the local corrupt official.

After a pause, Jiahao immediately asked: "Who is looking for you? How do you say this?"

Lin Haitao said calmly: "It's from the Discipline Inspection Commission. They want me to help investigate Boss Zhong. After all, I broke the news and reported it. Brother Yao, don't worry, it's okay. I'll go and tell you what we know."

Report to them and help them find out the corrupt official who is hiding deeply, so that they will not escape to the United States."

Jiahao said in a deep voice: "Be careful. Don't make this matter public. If Boss Zhong finds out, he may take revenge on us."

As the saying goes, "A strong dragon cannot overwhelm a local snake." After all, Boss Zhong is a local, and he may have considerable power secretly, so it is difficult to openly oppose him.

"That's for sure!" Lin Haitao nodded solemnly. "Except for a few people like us, no one else knows about this matter, so don't worry at all. I'll be back after I talk to them."

Jiahao said: "How about I accompany you there?"

He seemed a little worried, but Lin Haitao rejected him, shook his head and said: "Brother Yao, no! I can go alone, so it will be less likely to attract attention. Besides, you have to stay here with that sky-high price

Porcelain, you can avoid any accidents at night."

After saying that, he said goodbye and left the guest room, while Jiahao stayed in the hotel waiting for his return.

Originally, Boss Zhong's matter had nothing to do with them, and there was no interest entanglement between the two parties. However, Jiahao could not tolerate such a corrupt person who once plundered people's wealth and wealth. Officials went unpunished. As the saying goes, "The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility."

, If he hadn't accidentally "saw" the fact that Boss Zhong was accepting bribes, then there would be no basis for him to report it.

Boss Zhong deserves to be unlucky. He bumped into Jahao's hand and unknowingly let the other person into his past, and his true colors were exposed.

It was around ten o'clock in the evening that Jiahao waited until Lin Haitao came back.

"Brother Yao, the matter is done!" Lin Haitao hurriedly walked in and said, "We don't need to step in from now on, they can handle it!"

"Oh, really?" Jiahao said in surprise, "Then what is the current situation?"

Lin Haitao said in a somewhat excited tone: "Actually, the people from the Discipline Inspection Commission have found out some clues and found that there is indeed something wrong with Boss Zhong. Now they are preparing to arrest one of Boss Zhong's former subordinates. That subordinate was originally

He committed a crime, but the police haven't formally arrested him yet, in order to catch a big fish in the long run, but now the matter on Boss Zhong's side is more urgent, they can only change the plan, hoping that a two-pronged approach will not only solve the case

,And catch that corrupt official!"

"That's good." Jiahao said happily, "Actually, there is another person who is very important, and that is the goddaughter next to Boss Zhong. Once you check her, Boss Zhong's old fox tail can't be hidden even if you want to, right?"

Lin Haitao said hurriedly: "Of course they know this, and they will take action sooner or later. At least Boss Zhong's family cannot immigrate to the United States now! Brother Yao, you have really good eyesight. Not only can you tell the quality of antiques,

And it can determine whether a person is good or bad! If we can get rid of that corrupt official like Boss Zhong, it would be a great pleasure!"

Jiahao smiled and shook his head and said: "It's not that I have good eyesight, it's that he is too obvious!"

He also felt very happy at this moment, but he knew that Boss Zhong could not be proud for long, and he would face prison or even the coming of death.

After this matter was finalized, Jiahao finally felt at peace, and he could focus on other things.

Jiahao slept more soundly that night, and as usual the next day, he got up early in the morning.

After washing up, Jiahao first received a call from Boss Long.

The other party made it very clear on the phone that he would pick them up tomorrow morning, of course to appraise the antiques. Jiahao finally agreed. He even thought it was funny. The other party was in such a hurry before coming and kept urging them. Who knew?

After arriving, it was delayed again and again, as if it took a long time to prepare. However, the emperor is not anxious and the eunuch is anxious. It would be best if the other party does not want to appraise. After all, he is a fake appraiser, and his skills will be good by then.

I can't tell yet if it doesn't work, but it's better not to make a fool of myself.

"Brother Yao, what on earth are Boss Long and the others doing? It's getting more and more mysterious!" After Jiahao told Lin Haitao about rushing to Boss Long's house tomorrow to appraise antiques, Lin Haitao said in a dumbfounded voice.

Jiahao also smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "Who knows? But we will know it soon. Let's wait until then. We are not in a hurry anyway."

"Brother Yao, what are we going to do today?" Lin Haitao then asked about today's itinerary.

Jiahao answered without thinking, "Of course I'm going to visit the antique street!"

Lin Haitao said with a smile: "That's exactly what I meant! Brother Yao, there are quite a few antique markets here in Shanghai, and there are still a few big ones. We don't want to go to Yu Garden, because we have to go there the day after tomorrow anyway.

, then it’s Xiao Panjiayuan and Baoguo Temple, which one should we go to first?”

Jiahao replied without hesitation: "Little Panjiayuan, go see how similar it is to Panjiayuan in Beijing. If you still have time after finishing what you are doing, then go to several other markets. Otherwise,

Forget it, we’ll talk about it next time we come to Shanghai.”

"Well, yes!" Lin Haitao didn't think much about it. Jiahao said he would go to "Little Pan's Home" and he immediately agreed.

So the two of them were about to rush to Xiao Panjiayuan in Shanghai to search for treasures. However, there was one very important thing they needed to consider before setting off, and that was about the two pieces of fine jade they had, especially the one belonging to Jia Hao.

It's a piece of top-grade jade that reaches the quality of glass-like imperial green, so it's natural to pay attention to it.

They should not take such valuable things with them when they go shopping. If something unexpected happens, they will suffer heavy losses.

"Brother Yao, let's send the stone and your piece of porcelain to the bank's vault." Lin Haitao suggested, "Don't we have to stay here for a few more days? We can just take it out when we go back."

Jiahao nodded and said, "Well, that's all."

They don't have a fixed residence here, so it's hard to store their things. After much deliberation, they had to consider whether to deposit their things in a bank or put them in a bank for insurance.

Fortunately, it was not difficult to apply for the safe deposit box business in the bank. It didn't take long for them to get it done, and then the two of them took a taxi to Xiao Pan's home without any worries.

In the car, Lin Haitao introduced Xiao Panjiayuan to Jiahao in detail. Xiao Panjiayuan is the largest flea market in Shanghai, with a daily flow of tens of thousands of people. Although it cannot be compared with Panjiayuan in the capital,

But it’s not much different. On weekends and holidays, the passenger flow may reach more than 100,000, including at least tens of thousands of foreigners of all skin colors every day. The whole market is extremely lively, and it is the best place for experts to find treasures.

It didn't take long for Jiahao and Lin Haitao to take a taxi to their destination. It was a beautiful day. The clouds covered the scorching sun, and there was also a bit of cool wind blowing. It was very refreshing. Weather like this is most suitable.

Went out for shopping and fun.

This was the first time for Jiahao to come to Xiao Panjiayuan Market. He didn’t know how it was different from the Panjiayuan Market in Beijing. At this moment, he felt an inexplicable sense of freshness. At the same time, he was full of expectations, because relying on his magical

With his sharp eyesight, he can search for rare treasures in a huge antique market.

All remains to be seen!

Not long after, Jiahao and Lin Haitao stepped into "Little Pan's Home". Both of them were in high spirits and seemed to have everything in mind.

The Xiao Panjiayuan Flea Market, like the Panjiayuan in Beijing, is also divided into six business areas: stall area, ancient building area, classical furniture area, modern collection area, stone carving area, and catering service area. It mainly sells antique items.

The vast area and variety of handicrafts, collectibles, and decorations are simply staggering.

Jiahao was new here, and it was really eye-opening for him to visit this place today. He followed the familiar Lin Haitao and followed the surging crowds into the antique market where they were going.

It was still early, but a large number of people had already gathered around the market, and the streets were crowded and crowded.

"I'm dizzy. There are so many people here in Xiao Panjiayuan. It's even bigger than Panjiayuan in the capital!" Seeing the bustling crowd, Jiahao couldn't help but sigh.

"Isn't it?!" Lin Haitao shook his head and said, "Brother Yao, this is not the time when the flow of people is the largest. If it is a weekend or a holiday, it will really be a sea of ​​people. You have to squeeze in with others when walking on the road.

Keep moving forward!”

Jiahao nodded and said: "I can imagine!"

He was glad that he had thought carefully before and not brought the piece of imperial green jade, otherwise it would have been very dangerous. In such a crowded environment with tourists, there would probably be many three hands fishing in troubled waters.

Lin Haitao said with a smile: "Visiting Xiao Panjiayuan is now not just a Taobao activity for experts, but an entertainment activity for everyone. It can be said to be a trend. Anyone who comes to Shanghai for the first time will come here.

Why don't you take a walk here? Most of them are just for shopping, but then again, who doesn't want to find good things in this place. Or even get rich overnight?! But the bigger the market, the more things that look like fake things. There is no such thing.

Professional antique identification knowledge. How easy is it to pick up good things among the vast number of antiques?! Most newcomers only have to be discerning, right?!"

Jiahao nodded and said: "Haitao, you are right, as a newcomer you have to buy a lot."

Lin Haitao laughed and said: "You are different. You are an expert among experts. It is the most suitable place for you to come to this place! Brother Yao, let's go to the antique stall market first. The collection there is indeed very rich.

, everything is available, as long as you have a good eye, you can probably find anything good!"

"Well, okay, let's go." Jiahao nodded without hesitation, and then the two of them quickened their pace and walked straight towards the antique stall market. They came here mainly to touch the exquisite antiques, and for

They don't care much about handicrafts.

The closer we get to the antique market, the greater the flow of customers, and the crowds are everywhere. The surrounding area is extremely lively.

Not long after, under the leadership of Lin Haitao, Jiahao plunged into an antique stall market on the roadside. There were many stalls in the market, which was very dense. The sounds of various hawking and bargaining between customers were endless.

There was a lot of noise.
Chapter completed!
