Chapter 314 Appraisal of National Treasure
Outside the radio and television center, although it was already 9 o'clock in the evening, it was a lively scene.

Zhang Kaili walked out of the radio and television center quickly, walked past the stream of people, looked behind her again, then took out her mobile phone and excitedly made a call.

"Husband, we can buy a house with a loan, and you don't have to go out to find a job anymore!"

"Ah? That's a good thing, where did you get the money?"

"I sold the cup passed down by my grandfather to a fool, ah no, I sold it to Li Fan..."

……

At this moment, the idiot Li Fan's mind was no longer on the stage. "Everyday Xiangshang" has not been recorded yet. When the last treasure hunter came to the stage with a phoenix hairpin, Li Fan glanced at it and said He glanced at Sister Jiang who was in the audience.

At this moment, Sister Jiang looked at the cup in her hand, shook her head and sighed, then lifted the bottle to her forehead, and observed the stage lights. How could this be worth 100 million?

Da Ye said: "Look, this Teacher Li is already fidgeting, and his eyes have been lingering on the treasures in the audience."

Shen Feng said: "After all, I bought it for 100 million."

Li Fan said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'll go and give some instructions."

After finishing speaking, Li Fan quickly stepped off the stage, came to Sister Jiang and hurriedly said: "Sister, be careful, put it in your bag, be careful, don't bump it, don't touch it, and don't let go."

"Don't worry, I can't lose it. If I lose it, I will accompany you. There are plenty at home."

"You... hey!"

Li Fan stepped onto the stage quickly and started the next recording, but his mind couldn't stabilize at all.

Da Ye jokingly said: "Why don't Mrs. Li buy this as well, and give this phoenix hairpin to Gu Yating, she must like it very much."

Li Fan shook his head: "She doesn't like things inlaid with gemstones. I wanted to buy her a necklace a while ago, she said."

"Oh, not necessarily, people say so, but they don't necessarily think so!"

"Yeah, maybe I don't want you to spend money!"

Li Fan said: "Help me save money, this is not her style!"

"Hey, that's not what she told us."

Li Fan was taken aback: "What do you mean?"

Ohno: "Why didn't Gu Yating attend the awards ceremony of the Kim Ying Festival?"

Li Fan: "I went to my grandpa's house in the United States."

Shen Feng: "Why not go during the winter and summer vacations, but during normal school hours?"

Li Fan: "Well, she said it's a little thing!"

"I lied to you!"

Li Fan's eyes brightened, "No way?"

Wang Han said: "Would the audience want to see Gu Yating wearing this phoenix hairpin?"

The scene erupted instantly, and they all said in unison: "I want to!"

Li Fan was dumbfounded, "What do you mean?"

Wang Han continued: "Do you want to hear Gu Yating's complaint against Li Fan?"

"miss you!"

As soon as Li Fan turned his head and looked behind him, Shen Feng and Cai Yibo quickly pressed his head.

Wang Han: "There is true love in the world, and there is true love in the world! After all, will Gu Yating come to our stage of "Everyday Xiangshang"? Let's count down to five words."

5!

4!

……

1!

The two doors at the back of the stage slowly opened and closed, revealing a hint of information about the red dress. At this time, the audience all leaned forward and stared at the door excitedly, with their eyes fixed on each other.

When the red dress walked from the door to the stage, the audience burst into applause.

"Li Fan, you can turn back now."

Li Fan turned around suddenly, and immediately said pleasantly: "Mom?! Why are you here? It's not Gu Yating!"

Li Ma said happily: "Son, are you surprised or surprised?"

Li Fan bared his teeth: "Surprise."

Ohno: "Auntie, you don't know what happened on the stage just now, do you?"

Mama Li: "Huh?"

Wang Han: "That's because we don't know, so let's forget about it. We warmly welcome Li Fan's mother!"

Wow, there was applause.

Mama Li was overjoyed, both nervous and excited, "Thank you everyone."

The talk show revolved around Li Fan’s experience from childhood to adulthood, and when it came to the concept of consumption, Li’s mother complained: “Hey, my Xiaofan is good everywhere, but sometimes he spends unnecessary money , I bought a fan a while ago, it made me angry, it was 18 yuan, I haven’t recovered yet.”

"Hey, you have to think about it this way, this little money is not enough for your son to earn in a day."

Li Ma said: "Don't think that way. You should be diligent and thrifty to manage your family. You can't just spend money like water. No amount of money is enough to be a prodigal."

Shen Feng said: "Auntie, 18 is not much."

Li Ma: "That's not much? It's enough to pay the down payment in our Spring City."

Li Fan corrected: "This year the house has risen to 1 flats, which is not enough."

"Hey, Auntie's 18 is so distressing. If Li Fan spends 80—" Seeing Wang Han glaring at him, Dayo immediately shut up.

Li Ma stared and said: "If you dare to spend 100 million to buy a fan, then I will shoot him to death!"

The audience burst into laughter upon hearing the words, Li Fan is going to be finished!
Mama Li looked at the audience in astonishment, thinking, is it so funny?
Wang Han hurriedly said: "Well, Ms. Zhao, let's move on to the next topic."

……

After the recording ended, Li Fan disappeared almost at the speed of light. He took the cup to avoid his mother and ran straight to the airport, fearing that his mother would smash his cup again in a fit of anger.

In the lounge, Mama Li was stunned for a moment.

"Really 100 million?"

"Don't get excited."

"Can I not be excited? I can buy a house for 100 million yuan! Is it crazy to exchange a house for a cup? I'm mad at me."

"Auntie, just spend money on a lesson. Children will inevitably stumble along the way."

Li Ma's tears rolled in her eyes: "This is not stumbling, this is a broken arm and broken leg! Li Fan, you hand it over to me!"

Wang Han wiped his sweat, "He really left, he really went to the airport, and before he left, he asked us to take good care of you."

He made two calls to Li Fan in a row, both of which were turned off. Li's mother hung up on Li's father again. After the call was connected, she burst into tears, "Old Li, your son bought a cup! You Does it matter?"

Dad Li: "Just buy a cup, why are you crying?"

Li's mother grinned and cried, "It's a 'disgrace'!"

The concept of 100 million in the eyes of the younger generation is different from that of middle-aged and elderly people. Young people may think that 100 million is not much money for Li Fan.But in the eyes of the elderly, they have worked hard and suffered all their lives to earn accumulatively, which is hard-earned money.

So, Li's father and Li's mother really got angry this time.

Li Fan escaped back to the capital smoothly. He knew that it would be useless to explain to his family at this time, so he hurriedly found an authoritative department for appraisal, and any ozone layer would work better than himself.

It was 2 o'clock in the morning when the plane landed. Instead of going back to Beijing University, he took a taxi to the Palace Museum and got a room at a nearby hotel.

Lying on the white and soft bed, Li Fan carefully held the crystal cup and caressed it lovingly. He couldn't help marveling at the wisdom of the ancients and the craftsmanship that is beyond the reach of today's people.

How did you grind it out?Is there any magical mechanism at that time?And why, after grinding out this cup, in the history of China, no similar utensils have been seen again?
Countless questions intertwined over and over again in Li Fan's head, and Li Fan was completely confused.

This may be the charm of cultural relics, but also the mystery of history.

Carefully put away the crystal cup, put it in the backpack, zipped it up and put it next to the bed, Li Fan got up to confirm the door and the window, and then went to bed.

7 am.

Li Fan got up early. After packing up, he went straight to the Palace Museum with his backpack in his arms.

The Donghua Gate was being repaired, and Li Fan stood aside and waited anxiously, until more than half an hour later, an elder nearly 70 years old came from not far away.

Because when he walked out of the radio and television center last night, Li Fan made an appointment with Dean Bi through his relationship, and looked at Dean Bi's information on the Internet, so Li Fan recognized him at a glance.

He quickly took off his mask and sunglasses, walked over quickly, bowed and said, "Hello, Dean Bi!"

Dean Bi smiled kindly, "Oh, Li Fan, you have an appointment to see cultural relics? Let's talk in the office."

Passing through the Donghua Gate and passing the Wenhua Hall, the two came to the office of the director of the Palace Museum.

Dean Bi took off his down jacket and hung it on the coat rack. He said, "Xiao Dong, make a cup of tea for Li Fan."

"Thank you, Dean Bi."

"What a strange baby, you, Li Fan, are so interested."

Li Fan quickly opened the zipper of his backpack, carefully took out the crystal cup, handed it to the desk, and said, "Look!"

"Hiss, wine glass?"

Li Fan broke out in sweat, "Look carefully!"

Dean Bi put on his glasses, held them in his hand and looked carefully, "Water glass?"

Li Fan continued to sweat profusely.

Dean Bi thought for a while, "No, no, it's not our modern stuff."

Li Fan said happily: "You are talking!"

Dean Bi flicked it lightly, stroked it again, and said, "It's very difficult to form such a patina on something like a crystal cup. When do you think this happened?"

"I think it's from the Warring States Period, Dean Bi, what do you think?"

Dean Bi shook his head: "I don't know!"

"what?"

Dean Bi smiled and said: "Maybe you ordinary people have a misunderstanding, thinking that the experts in the Palace Museum are omnipotent, especially in treasure appraisal programs on TV, there are often retired researchers from our Palace Museum, they are all omnipotent Well!

In fact, I can tell you frankly that those people are all scum and scum in our Palace Museum, and they don’t want to lose face just to make money!Even the basic morals are ignored! "

When Dean Bi said this, he knocked on the table excitedly.

Li Fan became nervous for a moment, you can always be careful, don't scratch the national treasure!

Dean Bi said with righteous indignation: "You outsiders don't know that the real situation is completely different from what you imagined. In our Palace Museum, if a person is engaged in porcelain research, he will never enter bronze, jade, It is basically impossible for the warehouses of lacquerware, enamelware, etc. to specialize in other categories.

But fortunately, these old people, after retiring, use the name of the Palace Museum to go to the TV station to swindle and cheat. "

Bang, bang, Dean Bi knocked on the table twice more.

"Dean Bi, don't get excited!" Li Fan glanced at the crystal cup on the desk.

Dean Bi calmed down the anger in his chest, "In the past two days, our Palace Museum will issue a statement to the society, and we must not harm the common people. Oh, by the way, I mainly focus on bronze wares. I don't know much about your collection, no. Right to speak, I'll call our relevant top experts to take a look."

"Thank you!"

Before it was officially time to go to work, and the experts were probably on the way, Dean Bi chatted with Li Fan about the antique industry again, and advised Li Fan not to get involved in it.

The water in the antique industry is terribly deep, and there are scams everywhere.From street stalls to auction houses, from bosses to countless experts on TV, 10 out of 9 people cheated.This is another industry with basically no laws, and newcomers will basically be drowned in this industry.

Moreover, the collection appraisal certificates of various so-called authoritative institutions are even more deceptive. They are basically deceptions and countless fakes are made to appear true.The country does not recognize it at all.

Dean Bi is an interesting old man, a bit talkative, complaining full of complaints to Li Fan, a young man he met for the first time, a typical old cynical young man who is overwhelmed.

Not long after, the expert knocked on the door and came in.

"Dean Bi, are you looking for me?"

"Old Hu, let me introduce you, this is Li Fan."

"Hi, I'm Li Fan."

Lao Hu is also in his 60s, but he is energetic and has bright eyes. He said: "No need to introduce, who doesn't know? My granddaughter is always lying on the TV watching, and she is nearsighted, haha."

Li Fan said: "Mr. Hu, can you help me see the crystal cup?"

"no problem."

When Lao Hu came to the desk, when he picked up the crystal cup with both hands, he couldn't put it down anymore.

His hands trembled slightly, and his eyes seemed to have turned into a lock, firmly locked on the crystal cup.

1 minutes;

2 minutes;

……

Until more than 20 minutes later, he was still studying carefully, and kept talking to himself: "Shouldn't it?" "Eh, it's not right!" "Unreasonable!"

After a while, Lao Hu finally put down the cup in his hand, turned around and asked in confusion, "Li Fan, where did you get it?"

"Bought it from a girl last night."

"Do you know the ins and outs of this cultural relic?"

"I don't know. The girl said she didn't know either. It was passed down by grandpa."

"Is there any contact information?"

"Yes! Mr. Hu, how about my thing?"

Mr. Hu said solemnly: "I can't tell you now, I haven't figured it out yet, and I haven't even figured out whether it's domestic or foreign."

Li Fan quickly said: "Domestic, Warring States period."

"There is no big problem with the time, but why do you say it is domestic?"

"I……"

Hu Laodao: "Give me that girl's phone number, I'll ask."

Li Fan dialed the phone: "Zhang Kaili? This is Li Fan."

On the other end of the phone, "Li Fan, we have made an agreement, you can't go back on your word! Antique rules cannot be broken!"

"Don't worry, we just want to know the details of this cup."

"That's okay, you want me to pay you back, and it's gone. I just paid the down payment!"

Mr. Hu answered the phone, wanting to ask for details, but got nothing.

After putting down the phone, Mr. Hu said: "Li Fan, please wait patiently for a few days. Our institute will do a good job of researching and researching. It won't be possible to give you an accurate answer in just a short while."

"Okay, sorry to trouble you."

After completing the formalities, Li Fan left the Palace Museum. After returning to the dormitory of Beijing University, he washed his face and changed his clothes before driving to the famous antique market in Beijing.

In the next 10 days, Li Fan's mentality was completely out of balance. According to the students, Li Fan went "crazy".

As long as there is no class, he plunges into the antique market, from small stalls to large shops, Li Fan wanders every corner, his eyes are sharp, full of vigorous "greed", biting his teeth Vow to dig out the next national treasure!
But every day he left with joy and returned with disappointment. The passing time wore down his patience and desire. Finally, after returning without success again and again, Li Fan's mentality returned to peace.

It was a sunny winter day, Li Fan was wearing a thick down jacket, he was standing in the antique market with his hands in his pockets, looking at the stream of antique lovers passing by, eager to get rich overnight, he suddenly felt emotional :
What happened to me, Li Fan, recently?Isn't antiques more like a gamble?The probability of picking up a national treasure by mistake is the same as the probability of being hit by a meteorite falling from the sky ten times. Why waste this precious time?

Li Fan quickly regained consciousness and returned to the normal track of daily life. Fortunately, the national treasure he acquired by accident did not make him "mentally disturbed".

……

The special program "Jianbao" of "Everyday Xiangshang" will be broadcast soon.

On the day it was aired, the ratings of "Everyday Xiangshang", which had already gone downhill, bottomed out and tripled compared to usual, reaching an astonishing rating of 3.

With the broadcast of "Everyday Xiangshang", there was an uproar on the Internet, and everyone's jaws dropped.

"I don't understand. Li Fan is such a smart person. He returned the Warring States Cup. No matter how powerful the ancestors were more than 2000 years ago, they couldn't make today's beer cups."

"It's called being smart and being confused for a while!"

"It's okay, Li Fan has a lot of money, let's learn a lot from it."

"Li Fan finally lost his mind, cheers!"

……

Various news outlets also followed up and reported, and various words such as "surprise" and "unbelievable" were written into the headlines. They can be regarded as finding "negative news" on Li Fan.

Fortunately, Li Fan had a big heart, otherwise he would have been so angry that he would bleed from his orifices and die suddenly.

On the second day after "Everyday Xiangshang" was broadcast, a phone call came from home.

Li Fan lay on the bed and said, "Mommy, how are you doing? I greet you, my son."

During this week, Mama Li's voice became hoarse. She said, "Xiaofan, Mama has something to discuss with you."

"You always talk about it."

"Your money, can you let mom keep it for you?"

Li Fan frowned, and said, "It's not impossible, that's right, you and my dad don't have much access to the Internet. I'm worried that you will be deceived by new types of scams."

"Are you still worried that I'm being scammed? Hey, I—"

Father Li quickly tapped Mother Li on the back, and whispered: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, communicate well."

Mama Li suppressed it, and said: "Don't worry, I will give you time to die, and no one can move you."

"Mom, let's talk about it another day. I'm going to class."

After hanging up the phone in a hurry, Li Fan called Dean Bi again to inquire about the progress of the appraisal. This call was made almost every two or three days in a week or so.

Dean Bi’s reply is different every time: the first time, experts in this field in the academy are meeting for research; the second time, experts from the National Museum have also come; the third time, international arts and crafts master Weng Yahong specially Flying back from Los Angeles.

But this time, Dean Bi said: "Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, a seminar will be held. The Palace Museum, the National Museum, the State Administration of Cultural Heritage and relevant experts will conduct the final stage of the seminar. Just wait."

Wait!
Two days later, it was around 2 o'clock in the middle of the night, Li Fan's cell phone rang.

Opening his eyes in a daze, Li Fan immediately became refreshed after scanning the number. After connecting, he said excitedly, "Hello, Dean Bi."

"Li Fan, what are you going to do with this national treasure?"

Li Fan heard that the words were wrong, and said anxiously: "No, absolutely not, I'm not that noble!"
