Chapter 296: You Can’t Believe Even a Punctuation Mark From the President’s Boss
Back at school, Xiaowei dealt with the things at hand, and then briefly explained the dangers of the Bell of Withered Flowers to Yuna Peck, who was also quite shocked when he heard it. With too much uncertainty and uncontrollability, who knows when these inexplicably formed things will deteriorate, it is better not to touch them.
The school library is fully open to Xiaowei. Except for occasional classes and dealing with the affairs of the student association, Xiaowei is mostly in the library at other times.
There are not too many books and knowledge, but these ordinary knowledge can no longer bring Xiaoweier contribution points, but it can increase his knowledge and enhance his appraisal skills.
Reading skills cannot be used frequently, otherwise it will cause a certain impact on the spirit, but the ability to read quickly Xiaoweier can do it after possessing strong mental power. Reading more than ten or twenty books every day in a planned way can definitely stun a group of people. And this is still in the case of staying in the library to read and never borrowing.
In the Archaeological Appraisal Club, Xiaowei reiterated the appraisal process again. You can't touch the antiques with your own hands, you can't take the objects to be appraised from the guests, you can only observe and touch the antiques from a stable table wearing gloves, and the antiques can't leave the table. Half a foot, there should be no other people within half a meter around during the appraisal.
After the appraisal is completed, put away the things. You cannot hand them over to the guests, but the guests need to pick them up from the table.
Then Xiaowell explained to them some shady and common tricks in the industry, and took out an "antique".
"This is an antique that I bought from the black market for five gold coins. After multiple appraisals, it is an imitation. Afterwards, I have also carefully identified it myself. I can confirm that it is an imitation, but this is a high-quality imitation. Five gold coins is a bit exaggerated, but two or three gold coins are still worth it. Now let's imitate the identification process. I am a guest now, and I am a guest with ulterior motives. You should be careful not to be influenced by me."
"Now you start one by one, let's start with you, now I'm bringing the antiques in."
Xiaowei came in from the door, but pretended to be an old man, staggered, the students sitting behind the counter struggled to stand up, suddenly thought of Xiaowei's words and immediately sat back, Xiaowei walked slightly trembling He climbed up, then staggered and fell to the ground, the "antique" box flew directly towards the student, the student instinctively took it, and then the other students around were all dumbfounded.
"President, this is too cunning." The student looked at the "antique" in his hand and wanted to cry without tears. Does this count as taking the antique from the guest? Forget it? Doesn't count?
Xiaowei got up from the ground, pointed to the "antique" box in the student's hand, and said indifferently: "If the antique in the box is damaged at this time, who is to blame? Should we appraisers be held accountable?"
Seven or eight members looked at each other in blank dismay, this matter was a bit unclear, some said it was obviously extortion.
Some people say that the elderly are old, and the damage to the antiques caused by you sitting idly by is in your own territory. There must be a part of the responsibility, and it is difficult to say how big or small.
Some people also said that the box should not be connected at all, and let it fall to the ground by itself, but it was unanimously despised by everyone. Some people think that there seems to be a certain responsibility for watching the antique damaged.
"President, what would you do if you encountered this situation?" The student who was still holding the box looked at Xiaowei pitifully.
I encountered such a difficult thing when I first came up to demonstrate, boss, can't you start from the elementary difficulty? If we do this from the very beginning, we will not be able to bear it, and we will not dare to conduct appraisals in the future.
"If it were me, I would immediately leave my seat and help the old man, but I would never touch his body.
If the things in the old man's hands are out of hand, then I pretend not to see them. After the things are completely out of the old man's control or fall to the ground, I will help the old man up again and care about his body enthusiastically. "
"Things? Hehe, things are foreign things, we can't be too snobbish, we have to be people-oriented." Xiaoweier's words made all the members feel like they were being trampled by thousands of horses. The boss's method is so clever!
Increased knowledge, learned!
Xiao Weier directly took back the box from the member, threw the pale wig aside casually, with a completely carefree look, and smashed the box on the table with a bang: "Help me see, this It’s an old item that I bought from the black market for fifty gold coins, and it’s very valuable. At first, the salesman asked for two hundred gold coins, but I slashed it until it reached fifty gold coins.”
Xiaowei's face of a nouveau riche who has made a lot of money by picking up leaks makes the members want to laugh but dare not laugh.
The member stretched out his hand to open the box, and it turned out that there was a wooden sculpture inside, but one corner of it had been detached, lying plainly on the side, which made the member's hand froze all of a sudden, bad, he was cheated again!
"President, Boss, I beg you, can you not cheat me like this? I am the first one, you have used all the tricks, how can you cheat other people below."
"It's okay, I still have a lot of tricks like this. Tell me, I just turned my head to the side when you unpacked the box, so I didn't look at your movements. When I look back and see that something is broken, you Tell me, who is responsible for this?" Xiaowei pointed at the wood carving and the missing part with a smile, and the surrounding members were all at a loss.
"Well, boss, why don't you demonstrate it." The cheated member closed the box, then regarded himself as the master and said what he just said just now, and then deliberately turned his head away from Xiaowei. Repay him with his way.
The members around watched them acting amusedly, and at the same time were very much looking forward to how the president would deal with it. Xiaowei curled his lips and said disdainfully: "This kind of trick still wants to confuse me. You are still too young, so watch it."
"Huh~, the material of this box is not simple. Judging by the color, it seems to be made of the branches of the tree of life, right?" Xiao Weier said a word, and the member was so shocked that he just looked at it dumbfounded. Looking at the box, Xiaowei took the opportunity to open the lid, and the lower part of the box remained motionless: "Guest, do you know the origins of these two antiques?"
Two antiques? The member had nothing to say for a moment. I watched him open it. The box didn't move at all, and the people inside didn't touch it. How could I blackmail him by just talking about two antiques?
"It doesn't count, let's do it all over again." The member immediately quit. This kind of shameless method is really not easy for them to use, and they will be despised.
"Okay, let's do it all over again." Xiaowei waited for the member to turn his face away, and suddenly let out an exclamation. The member turned his face reflexively, only to find that Xiaowei was arranging his gloves, "This new pair Gloves are not easy to hold, it is not as good as the previous habit, is it convenient for the guest to open the box and let me see your baby?"
I go! Let the guests do it directly, and don't touch anything.
"Okay, I understand. The packing of the box must be handled by the customer. I can only start the appraisal if I confirm that the thing is complete, right?"
Xiaowei nodded in satisfaction: "There is progress, next..."
"Boss, I think it's better to change people in the future. I have a bad heart, and I will be played to death by you sooner or later." The words of this member caused a burst of laughter.
"Okay, I just saw that some people seem to disdain these small tricks, so let's change people and start over again." Xiaowei glanced at the other confident members with ulterior motives, with a cunning arc on the corner of his mouth Wire.
The second member managed to avoid doing it himself before opening the box, and let Xiaowei open the box by himself. Then he was a little overwhelmed when he saw the intact wood carving inside the box, and then Xiaowei left with an excuse to find water. When he turned around , A small piece of the wood carving fell off with a "click", and the commune member was dumbfounded and couldn't explain.
The third member was very clever. When Xiaowei wanted to drink water, he helped him get water himself, and successfully avoided facing the "old antique" alone, but this time the wood carving did not break. Waiting for him to use it carefully At that time, the incomplete piece of the wood carving fell off, and fell on the box with a "dang", and the third member looked at the incomplete wood carving and wanted to cry.
The fourth member directly asked Xiaowei to introduce this "antique" first, and watched Xiaowei steadily holding the wood carving to look around, and kept pointing out where and what patterns matched the characteristics of which era, so that the member Nodding repeatedly, and then the two got closer and closer, Xiao Weier shook his hand, and the wood carving fell into the hands of the member, and it cracked open with a "click~", the fourth member was dumbfounded, looking at the wood carving in his hand, not knowing what to say , This fell into his own hands.
"President and Boss, you only said to avoid it, but how to avoid it? I was completely attracted by your words just now, okay?" The member looked at the wood carving in his hand with eyes full of resentment.
"We are experts in appraisal, and the so-called experts must have their own demeanor, such as this movement." Xiaowei said that the chest was raised, the stomach was retracted, and the hands were turned backwards, with a calm expression on his face. The fourth member looked He started to work on the wood carving in his hand, and was thinking about how to stuff it back into his hands, only to find that his hands were behind his back, how could he do this?
The fifth member was very wronged. He followed the rules and procedures strictly. After Xiaowei put down the wood carving, he picked it up gently. Then, his gloves stuck to the side of the wood carving, and he accidentally pulled a piece off. It's not clear if it's completely reasonable once, the president is too hurtful, and such a hurtful move can also be used.
The sixth member made up his mind not to touch the wood carving, and kept staring at Xiaowei, and finally made a hasty appraisal, but why did the president look at him with ulterior motives? They also passed the test, and then the last member was unfortunately recruited. Xiaowei told them that he could trick you without touching wood carvings.
"Then, this is your identification?" Xiaowei pouted, and then told them a very broken thing: "In fact, this is a real antique, no matter the age or origin, it has been carefully compared and verified by my teacher and me. , are accurate, so all your appraisal practice has failed.”
"Boss, you cheated on us!" All the members raised their middle fingers at Xiaowei, you are too cheating, you just said that this is a fake you bought yourself, and then used various methods to attract our attention In the end, we let us deal with the matter hastily and came to a wrong conclusion. This is too bad.
You must know that club activities will be included in the assessment results. All eight of them were cheated, especially the last few members who clearly completed the appraisal and confirmed that they were fakes. They wanted to cry without tears.
Sure enough, you can't believe a single punctuation mark in the words of the boss. Too bad!
Then Xiaowei demonstrated a complete identification process for them. Even when he knew that the place was damaged, he could pick it up intact and complete the identification. The light is slightly lost.
Boss, you are a freshman, so how can we feel so professional.
However, with such a boss leading them, their progress is absolutely rapid. The boss clearly told them that an "antique" will be sent to them every three days for appraisal. Every time the appraisal is successful and the relevant evidence is given, a point will be added. If it fails No points will be deducted. And next time, their archeology teacher will also participate in such activities.
