Chapter 37 The Young National Treasure Gang Debuts
Xiao Shen always finds a way to hit Grandpa Lu in the back from an angle that Zhang Yang had never imagined.
Zhang Yang looked at Grandpa Lu with sympathy.
Old man, is your granddaughter your biological child?
However, Grandpa Lu knew Xiao Shen's temper and didn't take it to heart at all.
He complimented Zhang Yang cheerfully:
"Master Zhang, you are indeed an expert. The expert I found in the museum said the same thing."
"This aging technique is really too old-fashioned. Do you have a more advanced method?"
"Of course."
"Can you show it to me?"
"Sure." Zhang Yang answered without hesitation.
Unexpectedly, this answer made Shen Yiyi anxious.
She quietly pulled Zhang Yang's sleeve and whispered to him:
"Brother, come with me."
"What?" Zhang Yang was stunned.
"Yiyi, if you have something to say, just say it. Just mutter."
"I'm your biological grandpa, not your cousin. Do you still have to be on guard against me?" Grandpa said depressedly.
"Then I said it loudly."
Xiao Shen was a little angry after being scolded by Grandpa Lu.
She said to Zhang Yang with a righteous look:
"Brother, you can't help the evil.
People like my grandfather, who are involved in national treasures, should just keep to themselves and enjoy themselves. Why do they have to go to other places for offline treasure appraisal? Don’t they deserve to be ridiculed?
Let me tell you what my grandpa thinks.
When this program was broadcast, tens of thousands of people watched it online and offline. He wanted to use your high imitation to deceive the eyes of experts.
After the experts said it was true, he came out and said it was fake.
Slap the experts in the face.
You say, isn't this purely harmful to others?"
Xiao Shen understands Grandpa Lu too well.
She watched her grandfather gradually decline from a retired teacher to a national treasure gang uncle.
So what she said was exactly the same as what Grandpa Lu was thinking.
"Master Zhang, what Yiyi said is not entirely true."
Seeing Zhang Yang's expression change, Grandpa Lu quickly opened his mouth to refute.
He found several people who specialized in making antique crafts, and Zhang Yang was the only one who could analyze so clearly the methods of making things look old.
Same opinion as experts.
So he had to explain to Zhang Yang:
"If your work, Master Zhang, can fool Teacher Bai, then you are amazing. It is Teacher Bai who made a mistake.
In the antique business, it is normal to make mistakes.
The higher the virtue, the higher the evil.
He made a mistake and apologized honestly. Who would say anything bad about him, Teacher Bai?
Yiyi is totally talking about conspiracy theories.
She thought I was going to hurt people, but actually I was going to help Teacher Bai broaden his horizons.”
Grandpa Lu looked at Zhang Yang expectantly:
"Master Zhang, don't you think this is the truth?"
"Yes." Zhang Yang nodded.
"Senior Brother!" Xiao Shen shouted loudly, she was a little angry.
"Don't be impatient yet."
Zhang Yang smiled at Shen Yiyi and comforted her.
“I understand what Grandpa means.
You just want to test Mr. Bai's vision and his character.
If he is wrong and still insists on it, it means he is hypocritical and deserves to be criticized, right? "
"Yes, yes, that's what it means!"
Grandpa Lu nodded repeatedly.
He didn't expect that his thoughts could be said in this way.
It suddenly became "great, glorious and correct".
"Junior sister, I understand what you mean.
You just think that grandpa went there to avenge his friend.
Teacher Bai is a good expert and shouldn't be targeted by Grandpa in this way."
Xiao Shen nodded heavily.
He said righteously, "That's right!"
The grandfather and grandson looked at Zhang Yang at the same time. The "judge" already knew the true intentions of both parties, and now it was up to him to decide.
“It’s actually quite simple.”
Zhang Yang said with a very relaxed expression:
"I'll make an antique jade pig dragon, and then bring it to the site for Teacher Bai to appraise it."
"You?" the grandfather and grandson asked together.
"Master Zhang (Senior Brother), are you going to the scene by yourself?"
"Yes." Zhang Yang nodded.
“If I go, I will definitely be more professional in testing Mr. Bai’s eyesight, because I know more;
At the same time, junior sister, you should be able to trust my character.
I won’t target experts maliciously, at most it’s just academic exchange.”
After Zhang Yang finished speaking, Shen Yiyi and her grandfather fell silent.
They were all persuaded by Zhang Yang.
But it also feels very strange.
The counterfeiters went directly to the treasure appraisal site to slap the experts in the face?
How magical this sounds!
In fact, Zhang Yang had really thought it over carefully.
Today, Grandpa Lu came to Zhang Yang's house and asked him to forge a jade pig dragon from the Hongshan culture. This incident gave Zhang Yang an inspiration.
If you want to make money, do customization.
In fact, the Han Dynasty pottery figurine that General Zheng had previously made could barely be considered custom-made.
But because he wanted to sell in large quantities, Zhang Yang did not set the price too high.
If it was just one piece, he could have asked for a higher price.
Anyway, his craftsmanship is unique in Good Luck Village.
If he could be promoted to the master level, he would probably be ranked among the best in the country.
And customization has another great benefit:
No legal risk.
Zhang Yang could have signed a contract with the customer to prove that the other party knowingly bought fake products and that he had absolutely not committed fraud.
But if Zhang Yang wants to get custom business, he must make his name known.
Xiao Shen just said that the treasure appraisal program was watched by tens of thousands of people.
This gave Zhang Yang another inspiration.
Where are the most antique lovers?
Of course it’s the treasure appraisal show.
Zhang Yang watched the treasure hunt program on CCTV when he was a child. There were really huge crowds of people there.
If only he could show off his skills on site...
By then, won’t the orders come pouring in like snowflakes?
Seeing that Xiao Shen and his grandfather were still in a daze, Zhang Yang took the time to search for "Huashan Appraisal" on his mobile phone.
Is the anchor broadcasting live?
Of course you have to click in and take a look.
4+ viewers online!
It's daytime, a weekday, and it's past ten in the morning. Shouldn't everyone be at work?
Why are there so many viewers?
Zhang Yang immediately decided that no matter what Grandpa Lu said, he had to attend this offline treasure appraisal event.
You can earn recognition and advertise yourself at the same time.
Kill two birds with one stone, where can you find such a good thing?
At this time, Grandpa Shen and his grandson finally reached a conclusion after discussing it.
"Brother, I've made up my mind. Why don't I go?"
"I'm not questioning your character, but I think it's not safe for a forger like you to appear on stage."
"Yes, yes." Grandpa also agreed.
"Although I respect you, Master Zhang, people like you have the lowest status at the treasure appraisal site."
"Even the National Treasure Gang can step on it."
"Is it so cruel?"
Zhang Yang shrank his neck.
But he immediately realized that something was wrong. It would be dangerous for him to go alone. Would Xiao Shen be okay?
You don't think those who collect antiques would be gentle with women, do you?
Xiao Shen explained that she could go with her grandfather.
Grandpa Lu is somewhat famous in the local collector circle.
"My grandpa is a well-known sucker. Who would argue with an old man who seems to have a mental problem?" Xiao Shen analyzed rationally.
"Forget it, forget it. I'll go then."
Zhang Yang felt that the grandfather and grandson were both funny people and were too unreliable.
And he has thought of a perfect way to ensure his own safety.
