C198 The Old Man Who Knew How to Appreciate It
The descendants and elders were all similar.
Over the past ten years, the patriarch of the Tao Family, Tao Yuan, had been obsessed with the antiques and was unable to extricate himself from it. He had been buying antiques for his own enjoyment all day long. This was something that everyone in the Tao Family knew.
Therefore, all these years, whenever the Tao Family held any grand banquet, the seniors of the Tao Family would give Family Master the porcelain that they had carefully selected.
It had to be said that Tao Hong had a good eye. His Quasi-Golden Falcons were unique, and the embellishment was very ingenious. As soon as it was taken out, it immediately attracted the attention of many people.
As for Sui Guan's White Jade Glass Bottle, although it was as transparent as jade, in terms of visual impact, it was far inferior to the Bright Golden Falsifiers.
A bunch of people who didn't know what was good for them!
Sui Guan curled his lips slightly. Towards these Tao family members who were like laymen, he could not help but roll his eyes.
Although Tao Hong's Falan was unique, and definitely not cheap, with Sui Guan's experience, the purchase price would not be lower than five million.
This kind of porcelain was actually a bit of a grade.
However, it was still far from his White Jade Glass Bottle.
Tao Hong saw that Sui Guan was silent at this time. He thought that the other party had admitted defeat, so he laughed complacently. Then he held the Gilded Falcons with both hands and carefully walked in front of Tao Yuan. He respectfully offered it with both hands and said:
"Grandfather, this is a gift I specially picked for you this time."
This scene made many people envious and jealous.
"Damn it. Last time, Tao Jing snatched the lead. Could it be that this time, Tao Hong will take the initiative?"
"Last time, you prepared a piece of jade. This time, you prepared a piece of jade. It seems like you didn't learn your lesson at all!"
"Damn it! Tao Hong is really detestable! Just now, I asked him what he had prepared. " He even tried to hide it from me, but I didn't expect him to do it behind my back! "
The people below discussed animatedly. At this moment, Tao Hong, who was standing beside Tao Yuan, seemed to be in high spirits.
Last time at his grandfather's birthday banquet, Tao Jing had won old man's heart with an extremely rare Tangsancai. At that time, Tao Hong was very jealous.
Therefore, this time, he deliberately spent a lot of effort to buy the Gilded Falcons from an antique merchant for over seven million. He did it for the sake of today's situation.
When Tao Hong thought that victory was within his grasp, Tao Yuan actually did not look at the porcelain vase in Tao Hong's hand. Instead, he stared unblinkingly at the white porcelain vase on the table that Sui Guan had paused on.
"Young man, can you let me have a look at your porcelain?"
When Tao Hong heard that, he said hatefully, " " Grandpa, what's so good about that junk? No matter from appearance or color, it's far from being as good as my golden Falang! "
"What do you know!?" old man turned his head and glared at him fiercely. He said angrily, "That's a White Jade Glass Bottle. In the entire China, there are no more than three bottles that can wrap up a museum!
"Do you know the final price of a bottle like this at a private trade fair in Songjiang City?"
Tao Hong naturally couldn't answer the old man's question.
After all, he wasn't a member of Antique World. How could he know such professional knowledge?
However, hearing how serious his grandfather was talking about it, he estimated that the price of this White Jade Glass Bottle should not be too low!
Hence, he strengthened his spirit and said, "How much?"
"Close to one billion!" Tao Hong replied.
The moment this number was announced, an uproar broke out in the hall. The people of Tao Family also turned their eyes to Sui Guan, their eyes were filled with shock.
When Tao Hong heard this number, his heart started beating rapidly.
After a long while... After a while, he regained his composure and said to the old man with a face full of doubt:
"How could Sui Guan take out that kind of thing? I think he most likely joined forces with Tao Jing to cheat Grandfather!"
When Sui Guan heard this, he was immediately unhappy!
What was called cheating?
One had to know that the seller who sold the White Jade Glass Bottle in Songjiang City was him!
Tao Jing opened her mouth and said, "Grandfather, in that private auction just now, the one who sold the White Jade Glass Bottle... It was this Mr. Sui who stood beside me!"
A stone caused a thousand ripples. The people of Tao Family were stunned once again.
"Words have no basis. If you say he is, then he is? Then I also said that I bought the blue and white porcelain from the Sotheby Auction in Hong Kong a few years ago! "
Tao Hong tried to use words to convince the crowd not to believe Sui Guan and Tao Jing.
Tao Jing pretended to be smart and said angrily: "You are really unreasonable. Back then, the Mr. Xie was also at that auction. If you don't believe me, you can go and ask him!"
"Who doesn't know that you're in cahoots with him? You're master and disciple, so it's reasonable for him to cover for you!" Tao Hong's face was full of disdain.
Tao Yuan did not say anything at this moment. Tao Yuan stared at the White Jade Glass Bottle that Sui Guan was pressing.
When Sui Guan saw this, he smiled. "old man, why don't you judge the authenticity of this bottle?"
Hearing this, Tao Yuan waved at Tao Hong, signaling him to come over.
Tao Hong saw this and quickly went over. He said in a daze, "Grandpa, don't worry. I will order my servants to chase these two shameless people out!"
"Shut up!" Tao Yuan angrily shouted at his grandson, Tao Hong. He then said, "Hurry up and push me there. Quick!"
Today, Tao Hong could make a fool of himself in front of everyone at home.
Including this time, he had been yelled at by old man three times.
Tao Hong couldn't help but feel that he was hurt, but even so, he didn't dare to disobey old man's order. He could only push him to Sui Guan's place unwillingly.
During this period of time, Tao Yuan's eyes never left the White Jade Glass Bottle. It was as if he was looking at a supreme treasure in the mortal world. He was afraid that if he wasn't careful, the treasure would disappear from his reality.
When his wheelchair was completely stopped by Sui Guan and Tao Jing's table, Tao Yuan asked excitedly, "Young man, can I touch it?"
"Of course."
Sui Guan paused for a second and looked at Tao Hong provocatively. He then said, "Let old man have a look."
After saying that, he picked up the White Jade Glass Bottle on the table and handed it to the excited Tao Yuan with both hands.
Tao Yuan saw this and carefully took it. Then, he used his eyes to look at the treasure in his hand inch by inch.
"Magnificent and magnificent!"
old man looked at it and sighed from time to time.
After ten minutes, he reluctantly returned the porcelain bottle to Sui Guan.
"Young man, how much is this?" Tao Yuan looked at Sui Guan with bright eyes.
"Ah!?" Sui Guan was slightly surprised.
Tao Jing reminded, "Grandpa is asking you to name a price. He wants to buy your porcelain bottle."
Tao Hong looked at Tao Yuan with a hesitant look.
Tao Yuan waved his hand and said to Tao Hong indifferently, "Don't talk. It's not your place to interrupt!"
After saying that, he looked up at Sui Guan and smiled. "Young man, don't be shy. Just tell me the price in your heart. I will definitely give you a satisfactory result! "
