Daily Intelligence: Starting Out, I Won a Thirty Million Lottery Grand Prize

chapter 84 - Eighty Thousand Conservatives!


"Hahaha, Su Yun, how much could a bowl used to feed a dog be worth?""I have plenty of bowls like this at home, Su Yun, take a look, aren't they just like your uncle's?" A man, a cigarette dangling from his lips, said with a smile."Yeah, bowls like this are pretty common. They might look ancient, but they're actually modern fakes, so they have no value.""I often watch those treasure appraisal shows and livestreams; these things aren't worth anything," a young man also chimed in."It's just a very ordinary bowl."Seeing Su Yun interested in the bowl, the people around them all started speaking up.It's just a bowl, right? How much could it be worth?"That's right, Su Yun, I've been using this bowl to feed the dog for over a year. If it were a priceless antique, wouldn't it have been stolen by now?"Su Guoqiang glanced at the bowl, then stepped forward, picked it up, and washed it clean with water."No, I feel this bowl is very similar to a bowl my friend has! His bowl is ancient, and it's quite valuable!""Uncle, if this is a genuine ancient imperial kiln bowl, you're going to strike it rich," Su Yun said with a smile."That's impossible, right? It doesn't look like an ancient bowl," Su Guoqiang didn't believe it."Indeed, ancient imperial kiln bowls weren't for common folk. How would one end up in a small household like ours?""And even I can't tell, so it's probably not anything valuable," Su Fuqiang also glanced at it and said.Seeing that everyone around him didn't believe him, Su Yun didn't mind.The system's information couldn't be wrong; this bowl was indeed an imperial kiln blue and white dragon-patterned bowl, with a market price of over 800,000!"I have a friend who specializes in appraising antiques and cultural relics. I'll give him a video call and let him take a look online, won't that work? It won't take much time," Su Yun said."Hmm... since you've said so, Su Yun, let's take a look. What if it is something valuable?" Su Guoqiang naturally agreed to the appraisal, but he didn't hold out much hope.Antiques are not something one can appraise without years of research. Su Yun only just graduated from university; he wouldn't have that kind of discerning eye."If this is an antique bowl, Brother Su, you'll have to treat us to some good wine! Hahaha!" The onlookers on the side joked with a laugh.Meanwhile, Su Yun directly dialed Teacher Fan's WeChat video. After a few seconds, the call °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° was answered."Hello? Why a video call? Do you have some treasure? You haven't found another hidden gem, have you?" Teacher Fan asked, puzzled.The young man who had just spoken quickly looked over when he heard Teacher Fan's voice. The person in the video looked exactly like Teacher Fan from the livestreams he watched!Su Yun actually knew Teacher Fan!"Ah! Brother Yun, you know Teacher Fan! He's a very famous appraiser! I often watch his livestreams!""I need to record this. I really want to hear Teacher Fan say that line later." The young man was very excited; he knew Teacher Fan well, especially that line: 'New, completely new, undeniably new.'Hearing the young man say this, the people around also gathered closer. This person Su Yun called was a celebrity. Let's see what he says about that dog-feeding bowl."Yes, I have something good. It's a bowl my uncle uses to feed the dog. I think it's in good condition; could you take a look?" Su Yun said, then aimed his phone at the bowl."Brother Su! What do you take me for! I am a legitimate antique appraisal expert, and you're asking me to appraise a bowl used for dog shit!"Teacher Fan frowned and sighed. This Su Yun, bringing him a dog bowl to appraise—who in their right mind would use an antique to feed a dog!"Teacher Fan, you'll know once you see it. If it's no good, I won't charge you," Su Yun said with a smile."It's just a bowl for feeding dogs, how good could it be..."Teacher Fan was about to make a judgment when his eyes suddenly landed on the blue and white dragon-patterned bowl.Years of experience in porcelain appraisal allowed him to immediately discern whether it was new or old!Old imperial kiln pieces were always meticulously crafted with complex techniques. Although they had undergone the baptism of time, their unique inherent quality remained!Even without physically handling the item, a glance from the video was enough to know its authenticity!Modern imitations, however, were different. They were made for the sake of imitation, only pursuing the form but not the spirit. They might look similar, but in reality, they were incredibly crude and full of a sense of inferiority.This was the difference between the two: one was made with painstaking effort, and any mistake could lead to beheading; the other merely sought to swindle some money and naturally wouldn't pay attention to details.Therefore, Teacher Fan immediately understood the authenticity of the bowl with a single glance."Cough cough... Hmm... So-so... Flip it over and let's see..." Teacher Fan said."Okay." Su Yun heard Teacher Fan and immediately flipped the bowl over, revealing six perfectly aligned large characters at the bottom!"Hiss..." Seeing this, Teacher Fan was absolutely certain. This was indeed an imperial kiln blue and white dragon-patterned bowl from the Yongzheng period.But whose family would use such a thing to feed a dog! This was simply too wasteful!"Brother Su, what kind of family do you have, to actually use this thing to feed a dog!" Teacher Fan exclaimed with emotion."Hahaha, Teacher Fan, I'm your fan! Quickly tell everyone whether this bowl is genuine or not; everyone's waiting!" The young man beside him interjected, eagerly anticipating Teacher Fan's famous line."Hmm, here's my appraisal result, to summarize...""Old, completely old, undeniably old!" Teacher Fan said with a smile."Hahaha, I knew it..." The young man was instantly dumbfounded when he heard this.Good heavens, old?Waited for nothing?Shouldn't it be new?"Oh my! It really is an old item!""Isn't this a waste? Brother Su, you used this old item to feed a dog; that's too wasteful!""I can't believe Su Yun could tell at a glance that this bowl was an ancient treasure! What an amazing eye!""That's right, even when that bowl was very dirty, Su Yun could tell at a glance. His discerning eye must rival that of an appraisal expert, right?""Look at Su Yun, he really has skills! Otherwise, how could he make money!"The people around looked at Su Yun, their eyes filled with endless admiration."Oh my, this thing really is an old artifact!" Su Guoqiang said in shock, "How much is it worth?"Hearing Su Guoqiang's question, the young man who had been recording the video stepped forward again and said, "Antiques are also graded. I often watch appraisal videos, so I know about the prices in this area. Hmm... this bowl is probably worth a few tens of thousands.""Teacher Fan, I'm right, aren't I?" The young man said, trying to regain some face.Teacher Fan in the video smiled slightly, cleared his throat, and then said, "Haha, the price this young friend mentioned is a bit low.""This bowl, according to market value, has a conservative price of over 800,000!"At these words, the entire place fell silent...
