Chapter 382: Not Satisfied, Then Change to a Better One
It is a teapot that looks ordinary.
"This is..." Mr. Jiang was a little confused.
Everyone looked at it carefully and couldn't help showing contempt.
Isn't this just an ordinary teapot?
It's still so old, isn't this sending people away?
Suddenly, Mr. Jiang was shocked and frowned.
"This, this is really..."
The old man took two deep breaths and handed it to the butler next to him.
"It looks very similar to me. Can you take a look? Am I seeing it wrong?"
"Okay."
The butler carefully took the box from the old man and looked at it carefully for a while.
"It's real."
"The red painted lotus teapot for brewing tea with lotus dew is genuine. It was sold by a mysterious person at an underground auction yesterday. The starting price was 50 million and the transaction price was..."
"One hundred million!"
...
The living room suddenly sounded with inhalations one after another.
"Fuck!"
"One hundred million?"
"One hundred million for just this teapot? Even if it's an antique, it shouldn't be that much, right?"
Ye Chen, Huang Shaohua, Xiao Yang and others looked at each other, their faces turning pale.
Sure enough, how bad can the birthday gift given by someone who flies an intercontinental plane be?
Isn't he short of money?
A hundred million gift, just given away.
Awesome!
"Uncle Jiang, are you seeing things?" Xu Hao asked with a stern face.
He had heard that this teapot was auctioned off for a high price of one hundred million.
But he couldn't believe that the person who auctioned off this treasure was Lin Chen.
An unknown boy from the East China Sea.
Where did he get so much money?
It even beat their family's jade ruyi.
He was really unwilling to accept it.
Ye Chen also leaned close to Huang Shaohua's ear and whispered, "I don't think it seems to be anything special..."
Huang Shaohua made a "hush" gesture.
"Don't talk, let's see what Mr. Jiang has to say."
Being slapped in the face by Lin Chen at the airport has become a psychological shadow that he can't forget.
Mr. Jiang glanced at Xu Hao: "Did you see it wrong? Impossible."
Xu Zimo also said: "Grandpa Jiang, we are short-sighted and can't see what it means. Why don't you tell us?"
Mr. Jiang looked at the butler on the side: "Go get a pair of gloves."
"Okay, old man."
Putting on gloves, Mr. Jiang carefully took out the teapot and turned it over. There were six characters and three lines of seal characters printed on the bottom.
"Made in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty."
However, due to the baptism of the times, the handwriting was a little dim.
"This teapot is painted with alum red lotus pattern, and the abdomen is opened on both sides. One side is painted with lotus flowers in the lotus pond, and the other side is a poem by Emperor Qianlong."
"It is made in the autumn of Emperor Qianlong Jimao."
"The teapot has a round mouth, a round lid, a bow-shaped handle, and a vent on the side of the lid."
"This is the emperor's teapot."
"Do you really think this is just a teapot for drinking tea? Alas, you are really... Alas..."
Mr. Jiang sighed twice in a row, which can be said to be heartbroken.
The scene was silent for a while, and everyone was silent.
Even Jiang Li looked at Lin Chen with a shocked face.
I didn't expect that Lin Chen had secretly prepared such an expensive gift...
After a long time, the guests began to speak one after another.
"One hundred million imperial teapot, Mr. Lin is really generous!"
"I almost dare not speak."
"What kind of rich man is this?"
...
Lin Chen didn't speak.
He wanted to say that he had just given him a few grams of Dahongpao before, and this teapot was really meant for him to drink tea...
"Grandpa, look, there's something underneath." The housekeeper suddenly said.
"What is it?"
Grandpa Jiang looked closely and saw a piece of paper under the gift box.
"The appraisal report was issued by the Oxford Cultural Relics Appraisal and Testing Center in Hong Kong Island."
This time, everyone was shocked again.
The Oxford Cultural Relics Appraisal and Testing Center is one of the four authoritative antique appraisal centers in China.
The report can be issued, indicating that this teapot has been tested by a series of the most advanced instruments.
Xu Hao, who had just questioned whether this was a fake teapot, blushed instantly.
He felt that the guests present looked at him in a strange way.
This appraisal report has come out, isn't it a naked slap in the face?
Compared with this teapot, the jade ruyi that was just praised by everyone instantly dimmed.
In fact, the worst people present were the Xu family father and son.
Not only did they spend a lot of money, but they also attracted the dissatisfaction of Mr. Jiang because of squeezing Lin Chen.
The hope of reconciliation is probably going to be dashed.
The father and son of the Xu family really had their teeth knocked out by a slap in the face, and they had to swallow it with blood.
This feels very aggrieved.
But they can't tear their faces apart, after all, the Jiang family is no longer the same as before.
If the news of today's birthday banquet spreads, everyone will only know that Mr. Jiang's future son-in-law gave a royal teapot worth 100 million.
The 10 million of the Xu family was wasted.
Xu Hao and Xu Zimo's faces were as if they had eaten a dead fly.
It's really uncomfortable.
Mr. Jiang carefully put the teapot back into the box and wanted to return it to Lin Chen.
"Lin Chen, you should take this teapot back. It's too expensive. I can't take it as an old man."
Hearing this, Lin Chen just smiled faintly: "Grandpa, you can keep it. After all, you gave me a more expensive gift."
As he said this, Lin Chen glanced at Jiang Li beside him.
This more expensive gift was naturally for Jiang Li.
Jiang Li was stunned for a moment, and the two smiled at each other.
Jiang Xuan, who was closest to them, was caught off guard by the show.
Cold dog food was randomly slapped on his face.
Seeing this scene, Mr. Jiang was naturally relieved.
"Lin Chen, I know your good intentions, but this gift is worth 100 million!"
Hearing this, Lin Chen had to say: "Don't you like this teapot, old man?"
"Indeed, this teapot is not the best. There is a saying in the porcelain industry, 'Look at Chenghua in Ming Dynasty and Yongzheng in Qing Dynasty'. How about I get you one from Chenghua or Yongzheng period?"
"For example, the Doucai Chicken Cup..."
"No, no, no!" Mr. Jiang said hurriedly, "I like this teapot very much. If you get another one, my heart will probably not be able to bear it."
The old man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Doucai Chicken Cup...
The imperial wine cup of Emperor Chenghua of the Ming Dynasty was auctioned for a sky-high price of more than 300 million yuan a few years ago.
The current price is unimaginable!
Lin Chen smiled.
He just said it casually.
Just to let Mr. Jiang accept the teapot.
What chicken cup, he just happened to see it when watching TV.
Now he doesn't know where to get it.
But the guests present don't think so.
After all, Lin Chen just took out a lotus teapot with red lotus dew for brewing tea, and this chicken cup might really be obtained.
Huang Shaohua and others were like being strangled by the neck, unable to say a word.
Oh my God.
What kind of rich man were they showing off in front of before?
