The second round of appraisal was for jade artifacts.
Mr. Qi's jade piece was a jade thumb ring selected by his two apprentices together.
When Zhang Jicheng picked up the jade thumb ring, his heart immediately sank.
For an experienced appraiser like him, he could generally judge the authenticity of ancient jade as soon as he handled it.
There seemed to be nothing wrong with this jade thumb ring, whether it was the patina, erosion, jade quality, form and spirit, corrosion, or ornamentation.
Moreover, judging from the decorations and craftsmanship on it, this thumb ring likely belonged to a prince from the late Qing period.
After considering all factors, he finally valued it at eight hundred thousand.
Slowly setting down the thumb ring, Zhang Jicheng looked up and glanced at Ma Zhenping and Zhao Xingbo.
Indeed, both of Qi Maocai's apprentices were extraordinary talents.
In the last twenty minutes of hurried selection, they still managed to pick such a fine piece.
