Chapter 11: Beautiful figure, motorcycle goddess

Lin Lang smiled quietly but said nothing.

Zhou Zhongdang put down the rhino horn cup, picked up the lacquerware wine glass on the treasure appraisal table, and appraised it with his eyes, saying: "Mr. Lin is really young and promising!"

"I, Zhou, have been engaged in antique appraisal for more than 30 years. I am one of the few treasure appraisers in Changhai City. Just by looking at this lacquerware wine cup with the naked eye, I can't see the secret hidden inside. It is perfectly disguised as an antique rhino horn cup."

"This shows that Mr. Lin's ability to identify treasures is far superior to mine. I am ashamed of myself!"

Lin Lang smiled and replied, "Uncle Zhou, you are too kind!"

"Uncle Zhou, you are a master of treasure appraisal and a big figure in the antique collection circle of Haihai. I am still inexperienced and need to learn a lot from you."

Zhou Zhongdang laughed loudly and said, "Uncle likes talented, steady and low-key juniors like you."

"Mr. Lin, if you have time tomorrow at noon, please come to my humble abode with my daughter Mengyao for dinner. We, uncle and nephew, can learn from each other about treasure appraisal and make progress together."

Lin Lang did not expect that the treasure appraiser Zhou Zhongdang would appreciate him so much and invite him to his home for a family dinner, which was definitely giving enough face to the younger generation Lin Lang.

Zhou Mengyao was also somewhat surprised. She didn't expect that her father Zhou Zhongdang, who was highly respected in the antique circle, would condescend to invite his junior Lin Lang to visit their home.

Lin Lang replied politely: "Since it is difficult to refuse such a kind invitation, I will respectfully obey your order and will definitely be on time for the appointment."

Zhou Mengyao smiled sweetly and said, "Lin Lang, we haven't said goodbye since our second meeting, and we have an appointment to meet for the third time tomorrow!"

"My father appreciates you so much that he might want to take you in as his apprentice and make you the treasure appraiser of the Treasure Pavilion. It seems that we old classmates will have many opportunities to reminisce in the future!"

"Uh……"

After hearing this, treasure appraiser Acheng was filled with envy. Being able to learn from a famous master would not only make it easier to make a name for himself in the antique appraisal world, but he could also rely on his master's connections to make friends with the wealthy and powerful and climb up the social ladder.

Lin Lang asked curiously, "Uncle Zhou has been famous in the antique appraisal industry for a long time. Hasn't he ever officially accepted a disciple?"

Zhou Zhongdang smiled and replied, "Taking on disciples and teaching is a matter of fate. Nowadays, if you want to achieve success in the treasure appraisal industry, knowledge accumulation and hard work are important, but talent is also indispensable."

"Although Zhou has been famous in the antique appraisal industry for a long time, he has never met a talented apprentice, so he has not formally accepted an apprentice to teach him."

"Now Zhou is over fifty years old, and my daughter Mengyao is not interested in antique appraisal. In the future, the inheritance of the Treasure Pavilion can only rely on the closed disciple to teach the apprentice."

After hearing this, Lin Lang said, “I see. Then I wish Uncle Zhou to find a beloved disciple soon!”

Zhou Zhongdang replied politely: "Thanks for the good words, Mr. Lin!"

The treasure appraiser Acheng standing nearby said, "Mr. Zhou, Mr. Lin is ready to buy this pair of rhino horn cups. Please give us an estimate of their price."

Zhou Zhongdang replied, "If the oil-paper lacquer shell of this seemingly worn-out lacquerware wine cup is peeled off and the antique rhino horn cup hidden inside is of perfect quality, our Treasure Pavilion is willing to offer 10 million Chinese Yuan to purchase Mr. Lin's pair of antique rhino horn cups from the Tang Dynasty."

Gu Keqing, who was standing by, was shocked when she heard this. She didn't expect that her lover Lin Lang had bought a pair of lacquerware wine glasses at an antique stall for only 385 Chinese yuan, but they actually contained a secret and she had picked up a bargain of million Chinese yuan.

Zhou Mengyao exclaimed after hearing this: "Dad, can this pair of antique rhino horn cups really be worth so much money?"

Zhou Zhongdang couldn't let it go and replied: "There are less than 4000 antique rhino horn cups in the country, and most of them are from the Ming and Qing dynasties."

"This pair of rhino horn cups hidden inside the lacquerware wine cups were gifts presented by foreign envoys to the royal family during the Han and Tang dynasties. They have been handed down from generation to generation and are well preserved to this day. They are extremely rare in pairs and have a high potential for appreciation."

After hearing this, Zhou Mengyao looked at her classmate Lin Lang and playfully said, "Old classmate, you've made a fortune this time!"

Lin Lang smiled but said nothing.

Treasure appraiser Ah Cheng said enviously, "It seems that our antique circle in Haihai will have another strange story about someone who found a Tang Dynasty rhinoceros horn cup at a bargain price at an antique stall and made a profit of tens of millions of Chinese yuan."

In the spotlight.

Lin Lang picked up the tea knife again and carefully used the blade to scrape off the old red paint on the lacquerware wine glass until the oil paper layer inside was exposed. Lin Lang used the tea knife very carefully, just like peeling off silk from a cocoon, and gently pierced the oil paper.

With the experience from last time, Lin Lang successfully peeled off the layer of oil paper that perfectly adhered to the rhino horn cup, removed the lacquer shell and took out a Tang Dynasty rhino horn cup.

Zhou Mengyao was amazed and exclaimed: "I really admire the wisdom of the ancients. This rare rhino horn cup is also well preserved and in perfect condition!"

Zhou Zhongdang exclaimed: "This pair of rhino horn cups with perfect appearance and lustrous luster can be compared with the luminous wall and the bright moon pearl. They are really rare treasures that are hard to come by!"

Treasure appraiser Ah Cheng said in amazement: "I am fortunate to have witnessed this pair of rhino horn cups from the Tang Dynasty. In Mr. Lin's hands, the broken lacquer shells have been restored to the light of day and shine brightly again. I have really broadened my horizons!"

Gu Keqing looked at Lin Lang, who had found a bargain of 10 million Chinese Yuan but remained calm and composed, and secretly exclaimed in her heart, "It seems that Alang is very cunning, and is definitely not an ordinary pretty boy. He will become a great man in the future."

Zhou Zhongdang ordered: "Write the pawn ticket immediately and sign the pawning procedures for Mr. Lin."

"Yes, Mr. Zhou." Appraiser Acheng hurriedly did as he was told.

The financial staff of Zhenbao Pavilion began to write the pawn ticket and the pawn exemption agreement, and reminded: "Since it is a forfeited pawn, it means that the pawner will neither redeem the pawn nor renew the pawn."

"Pay with one hand and deliver with the other hand."

"Once you leave our Treasure Pavilion Antique Pawn Shop, there is no regret medicine!"

"The pawn ticket is proof. I will never regret it." Lin Lang signed his name on the pawn ticket and the waiver agreement.

Zhou Zhongdang took out a checkbook from his body and wrote a transfer check for 10 million Chinese yuan, payee Lin Lang, for commercial payment, and then handed it to Lin Lang.

Ding! Friendly reminder from the universal entry system: This transfer check of 10 million Chinese Yuan from Haihai Bank is authentic and valid.

After Lin Lang received the transfer check, he smiled and said, "Uncle Zhou is so eager to pay, are you afraid that I will regret it and refuse to accept this pair of antique rhino horn cups?"

Zhou Zhongdang couldn't put down the pair of rhino horn cups from the Tang Dynasty that he had just bought at a large price, and he could not hide his joy.

"During the Ming and Qing dynasties, single antique rhino horn cups were common, but a pair of Tang dynasty rhino horn cups in perfect condition are extremely rare."

"So Zhou does not intend to sell this pair of legendary and perfect Tang Dynasty rhino horn cups, but will keep them privately as a legacy to be passed down to future generations."

"Uncle Zhou is indeed a master of antique collection, with a unique vision and generous spending!"

"No wonder it is widely said in the antique collecting circle that Ma Weidu in the north and Zhou Zhongdang in the south are the top collectors in China." Lin Lang said with flattering words.

"Ma Weidu is an old friend of Zhou in the antique circle. Next time he comes to Haihai from Kyoto, I will host a dinner and introduce you to Mr. Lin."

"Uncle Zhou has a wide network of contacts, which is something that the younger generation could not ask for more."

Zhou Zhongdang smiled and said, "Mengyao, your high school classmate Mr. Lin is very outstanding. You should visit each other more often in the future. The friendship between classmates should not be alienated."

Zhou Mengyao gave her father a fake smile and replied with one word, "Okay!"

After simple greetings.

Lin Lang stood up and said, "Uncle Zhou, if you have nothing else to do, I will take my leave first!"

Zhou Zhongdang ordered: "Mengyao, please send Mr. Lin off on behalf of your father!"

"it is good!"

"Let's go, old classmate, I'll take you there!" Motorcycle goddess Zhou Mengyao squinted her eyes and smiled sweetly and coolly.

"Goodbye Uncle Zhou!" Lin Lang said goodbye.

Zhou Zhongdang replied in a good mood, "Goodbye!"

Gu Keqing nodded slightly and said goodbye to Zhou Zhongdang, the owner of Zhenbao Pavilion.

"Goodbye! I look forward to your next visit." Zhou Zhongdang replied politely.

Treasure appraiser Ah Cheng said, "Farewell, Mr. Lin. Goodbye, Mr. Lin!"

"Goodbye!" Lin Lang stepped out of the VIP room.

Zhou Mengyao chatted and laughed as she sent Lin Lang and Gu Keqing to the gate of the Treasure Pavilion. She smiled and said, "Old classmates, we'll see you tomorrow at noon."

Lin Lang replied: "Okay!"

"I'll text you later and ask you to send me your home address. I'll be there on time tomorrow night to visit my uncle and aunt."

Zhou Mengyao replied, "OK!"

"Goodbye, old classmate!" Lin Lang said goodbye with a smile.

"Bye-Bye!"

"Goodbye, cousin Keqing!" Zhou Mengyao did not forget to wave goodbye to Gu Keqing.

Gu Keqing replied politely, "Goodbye!"

After Zhou Mengyao watched Lin Lang and Gu Keqing walk away, she raised her wrist to check the time on her Audemars Piguet diamond luxury watch. It was already past noon.

In the afternoon, Zhou Mengyao, the top-ranked professional female racing driver in Xia country, had to rush to attend an exclusive interview program on Hai TV.

So, Zhou Mengyao put on a cool helmet, rode the Augusta street car, started the car and gently stepped on the accelerator, and the sound of speed and passion came out.

"Om..."

"Buzz..."

The sweet and cool motorcycle goddess Zhou Mengyao rides the Augusta street bike, which is limited to 100 units worldwide. She is so cool and sassy, ​​and her incredibly graceful figure on the motorcycle makes people fall for her involuntarily.

The cool and beautiful motorcycle goddess Zhou Mengyao sped away on a cool street bike, like a flower blooming at a rapid speed, looking absolutely cool.

Girls riding motorcycles can be so handsome.

Riding a cool motorcycle and enjoying the wind on the streets of Lihai, Zhou Mengyao is so attractive that people can't take their eyes off her and are unable to extricate themselves from her. It has to be said that this professional female racer ranked first in Xia country is unforgettable at first sight.
