“Please move to the next exhibition hall.”
The smile returned to Sakikawa Taro’s face as he guided everyone into the exhibition hall next door.
When Ye Feng and Ling Qianqian followed the crowd into the exhibition hall, they saw that the exhibition hall was over a thousand square meters in size, and there was a dazzling collection of items.
There were antique jades and paintings from China, as well as Western oil paintings and sculptures.
“Mr. Qiandao is indeed a collector. These are all good stuff.”
“Yes, yes. I’m just afraid that I don’t have enough funds this time and won’t be able to bid for a few pieces.”
“The things here are all priceless. It’s definitely impossible for a single organization to buy everything.”
“This is also good. At least everyone will have some gains today…”
As soon as everyone entered the hall, they immediately surrounded it to take a look.
They only had an hour to browse, so they had to seize every minute.
Every institution had their own appraisers. At this moment, they were holding magnifying glasses and standing around the collections to look at them.
“Let’s hurry up and try to bid for a few more treasures.” Lin Qianqian hurriedly pulled Ye Feng, wanting to join the crowd.
But Ye Feng did not take action immediately. He used the deep scanning function to observe, and he soon found something fishy.
In this exhibition hall, the most eye-catching places were all defective products.
In the eyes of many people, these collections worth hundreds of thousands or even millions of Chinese yuan were already very rare.
But it did not enter Ye Fengs eyes.
What he really liked were those items that were deliberately placed in inconspicuous positions. These were the real priceless treasures.
The auction house had really gone to great lengths to confuse everyone.
Of course, those who could enter the auction today were not good people.
A few of them gave up on the eye-catching collections and went to the real fine works in the corner.
But at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in the exhibition hall.
“Mr. Ye? Isn’t this the great appraiser of China, Mr. Ye?”
This voice appeared very abruptly and immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the exhibition hall.
Ye Feng and Lin Qianqian also turned around and saw a short middle-aged man walking over quickly.
This person rushed toward Ye Feng with an excited expression. He looked like he was at a loss, like a crazy fan who had seen his idol.
Ye Feng frowned immediately. “Do I know you?”
The man hurriedly shook his head. “How would a big shot like you know me? But I know you. You’re the number one appraiser in China. Mr. Ye, I’m your fan!”
When Ye Feng heard his words, he became even more suspicious. He felt that things were not as simple as they seemed.
At this moment, he heard the surrounding people discussing.
“Isn’t this Mr. Takayama Shita? He is a famous appraiser in Japan.”
“Yes, although I’m far away in Europe, I’ve heard of Takayama-san’s name.” “Who is this young man? Why is even Takayama-san so excited to see him?”
“Didn’t you hear what Takayama-san said just now? This is the number one appraiser in China.”
“Oh my god! China’s number one? Is this for real? Why is he so young?”
“You can’t judge a book by its cover. Since this person can be admired by Takayama-san, he must have some strength…”
At once, everyone in the hall stopped looking at the items and turned to Ye Feng.
As if this was not enough, Takayama Shita immediately explained to everyone, “Perhaps everyone doesn’t know this Mr. Ye. He’s the real appraisal master. Compared to Mr. Ye, I’m nothing…”
Lin Qianqian also looked at Ye Feng curiously. Was this guy so famous in the antique world? He could meet fans here?
Ye Feng stared at Takayama Shita without batting an eyelid. He wanted to see what he was going to do.
At this moment, Takayama Shita had really turned into a fanboy. He started to introduce Ye Fengs past achievements to everyone.
“Mr. Ye once spent less than 2,000 Chinese yuan in a teahouse to buy a box of tea leaves. Then, he found a stamp inside. Do you know what stamp it was?”
Not only was this guy boasting, but he also didn’t forget to interact with everyone.
Everyone seemed to have forgotten what they were here for. They shook their heads in unison, their faces full of curiosity.
There was a smug look on his face. “That stamp is the Black Penny!’
Everyone present was an industry expert who was very familiar with the collectibles market. When they heard the words ‘Black Penny’, they all revealed shocked expressions.
“Oh, my god, did I hear wrongly? Was it really the Black Penny? This stamp is priceless. ”
“It’s said that a few years ago, Sotheby’s auctioned off a Black Penny for 60 million Chinese yuan. I’m guessing the price is even higher now.”
“If I didn’t hear wrongly, Mr. Ye bought this for less than 2,000 Chinese yuan? How many times is that?”
“I’ve calculated, at least 30,000 times! Oh my god, my heart can’t take it anymore…”
Everyone had already fallen into madness.
The news given by Takayama Shita was too shocking.
Takayama Shita seemed to think that this was not enough, so he added, “Mr.
Ye exchanged that stamp for an antique brand worth 130 million, Maple Leaf
Pavilion. Now, Maple Leaf Pavilion has been opened all over South Guangdong Province, and its valuation is no less than 2 billion Chinese yuan.”
“Hiss…”
When he said this, everyone’s scalps went numb.
Although 2 billion was not an unimaginable number for them…
Don’t forget, this was exchanged for less than 2,000 yuan.
This was simply an unheard of miracle.
At this moment, everyone looked at Ye Feng with burning gazes.
It was like a pack of wolves that had been hungry for half a month suddenly seeing a delicious lamb and wanted to pounce on it and take a bite.
But Takayama Shita did not stop praising him. He started to announce Ye Fengs battle results one by one.
The Woman in the Red Riding Hood, the Nine Dragon Cup, the Sapphire Lamp, and so on. Every one of them was shocking.
Everyone felt as if they had just heard a legend, and their expressions became more and more shocked.
After praising him for nearly twenty minutes, Takayama Shita slowly stopped. “Mr. Ye has too many glorious achievements. I can’t finish talking about them even if I talk about them for three days and three nights. In short, Mr. Ye is the greatest appraisal master I’ve ever seen!”
Well, he even used the word ‘great’. He was undoubtedly a brainless C fan.
After he finished speaking, he immediately looked at Ye Feng excitedly. “Mr. Ye, with your foresight, just a casual glance is much better than us studying it for half a day. Can you give us a few pointers on which collections we should bid for?”
