Galactic Garbage Station Chapter 266 Authentication

However, after careful calculation, the probability of one-tenth is actually very low, and many antiques have deceptive appearances. They are deliberately made to look like real fakes, so there is no one-tenth to choose and the probability is not so high. As long as the antique store does a good job keeping confidentiality, it is basically a stable and profitable source of income.
For example, Zhao Xiaobao and Lin Hao are very knowledgeable, but they still chose a total of seven and eight items, but only four or five of them are real. Calculating the price, they spent nearly 3 Million Yuan and bought items worth at least 4 Million Yuan at the market price and earned about 1 Million Yuan directly. However, there are not many people who spend a lot of money on antiques, which makes it difficult to do business. So, antique shops sometimes open only for three years.

But for those products that Su Jing picked, Manager Liu just glanced casually, and his wasn't looking very good. He stared at Su Jing, thinking that the young man was a hidden Appraisal Master.

“Manager Liu, will you help us figure out the price yourself?” Lin Hao said that as this shop is a good business for antiques, but there are few such big businesses, so the staff isn't that knowledgeable and the accounts are a little shaky. It's better if Manager Liu speak about them himself.

“Okay, no problem.” Manager Liu nodded and said, actually, Lin Hao didn't need to say that as he had already planned to calculate the price and collect the money himself, but he just got confused for a while. First, he calculated the total price for Zhao Xiaobao and Lin Hao, received the remittance from them, and then calculated it in his mind, and found that he had made about 1 Million Yuan in total. However, when calculating the price of Su Jing's selected item, he calculated it again and again and his face was progressively getting more and more distorted. Just for the sake of his store's reputation, after Su Jing remitted the money, he still gave Su Jing all the items packed in good condition.

“You all bought it, don't you announce the truth now?” Xiao Rui asked curiously.

“Little Rui, the rules of this store. It's not true or false.” Lin Hao said with a smile that in the antique industry, some appraisers are reluctant to say anything, whether it's true or not, or whether it's fake. It's impossible for antique shops to say that they sell fake goods, even if the nine false and one true rules are put there. It will be sold even if it's true or not so the shops wouldn't release the true or fake items.

“So how do you determine who wins and who loses?” Xiao Rui asked.

“This …” Both Lin Hao and Zhao Xiaobao realized the problem. Zhao Xiaobao suddenly stomped his feet and looked forward, then trot over and said in surprise, “Old Mister Song. h.e.l.lo.”

“h.e.l.lo, Xiaobao.” A white-haired old man who was watching antiques looked up and saw Zhao Xiaobao and replied with a smile.

“Old Mister Song, we have just picked a lot of items from the nine fake and one true shelf. Could you please take a look and identify them for us?” Zhao Xiaobao asked respectfully and politely.

“I see why the shelves seem to have been stripped bare of the real things. They were originally picked by you. Take me to see them. I heard that there are some new treasures that are valuable.” Old Mister said as he was not here to buy things and he was just browsing, if he really wants to buy it, the nine fake and one real shelf will not be opened for him, and he will be blacklisted. After all, he is an Appraisal Master. Of course, he and the shop owner are old friends, and they won't hit him like that.

After listening to Song Old Mister saying that the real products were all picked out, Lin Hao and Zhao Xiaobao both felt joy in their hearts and subconsciously felt that all the products should have been picked by themselves, and this time they made a lot of money.

“This way.” Zhao Xiaobao asked Old Mister Song cheerfully and Manager Liu didn't say anything about it. Their rules are not to disclose the authenticity, but they can't stop others from identifying it.

“Old Mister Song will identify the items for us, is it okay?” Zhao Xiaobao said to Lin Hao.

“Old Mister Song is highly respected, of course, there is no problem.” Lin Hao nodded.

“h.e.l.lo, Old Mister Song.” Su Jing suddenly called and recognized this Old Mister Song. He is not someone else. He has been to Su Jing's house with Shen Hong and helped Su Jing identify the Bamboo and Stone Painting, Ambergris. He is one of the Appraiser of Myriad Treasures Auction House.

“Well, h.e.l.lo Mr. Su, I haven't seen you in a long time.” Old Mister Song grinned.

“Old Mister Song knows A'Jing?” Lin Hao froze. Su Jing who is not interested in antiques should have no intersection with Old Mister Song.

“Oh, Mr. Su picked up a big treasure some time ago and spent 10,000 yuan to buy a pair of Zheng Banqiao's Bamboo and Stone Painting worth more than 2 million, which I envied for a long time.” Old Mister Song said which caused Lin Hao, Zhao Xiaobao, and Xiao Rui to suck in cold air, spending 10,000 yuan to buy something that is worth more than 2 Million Yuan, isn't this is too exaggerated?

“A'Jing, how did you do that?” Lin Hao was shocked.

“It was so easy to earn money by buying antiques.” Xiao Rui's view on antique suddenly turns around. Although he is not interested in antiques, he is interested in money. Liu Yan and Zhao Xiazhao also looked at Su Jing.

“Old Mister Song, let's take a look at these treasures first.” Zhao Xiaobao s.h.i.+fted the topic and put a few items in front of Old Mister Song, including bronze tripods, copper coins, and jade carvings …

“Okay, I'm in a good mood today so I'll give you a free appraiser.” Old Mister Song said and took out a magnifying gla.s.s and other tools to start viewing, and then evaluated the items one by one. For the real product, he said it straight out and he even estimated the price. For fakes, he was relatively euphemistic. The layman may not know the fakes after listening, but of course, Lin Hao and Zhao Xiaobao, who knew it, understood it clearly.
Finally, a rough estimate is that the total value of items selected by Lin Hao is about 1.6 million, and the total value of items selected by Zhao Xiaobao is about 1.4 million. Without a doubt, it was Lin Hao who won the gamble.

“Haha, you lost.” Lin Hao raised his eyebrows and exhaled. Although he still lost 200,000 after taking into account the 200,000 gambling win, he could win them back from Zhao Xiaobao and his bet. He secretly thanked A'Jing in his heart as he recommended that cyan porcelain pot, which was a genuine product, with a purchase price of 100,000 and a market price of 300,000. If it wasn't for this porcelain pot, he would've lost and in return, he would give Su Jing a big red envelope.

“Huh, it's just good luck.” Zhao Xiaobao looked depressed, but the bet was a bet and he immediately transferred 200,000 yuan to Lin Hao.

“Don't make such a noise.” Old Mister Song said at this time and they saw that he began to identify the items that Su Jing had picked, he stared at the bronze mirror, with his eyes glowing.

This made Zhao Xiaobao and Lin Hao both stunned. What is there that can make the well-known Old Mister Song's eyes s.h.i.+ne? Manager Liu turned his head away and didn't look, his heart was already bleeding. (To be continued ~ ^ ~)
