"Haha, you mean to say that my antique is fake?"
Lin Yi could not help but smile when he saw Sun Zhi's disdainful expression. At the same time, he felt sad for this shop for hiring such a person.
Although this cup was indeed a little new, it was a product of the system. How could it be fake?
"Heh heh, there's no need for me to see it. Even a newbie who has just entered the industry can tell at a glance that yours is fake. Let me tell you this, this thing is a classic 'counterfeit'. Not to mention that it's obvious that this thing is newly produced, just based on this thing, it's modeled after the Yuanqing Flower Vase."
At this point, Sun Zhi deliberately paused. After seeing that the surrounding people were looking at him, he cleared his throat and pretended to be very knowledgeable.
"You know the Yuanqing Flower Vase, right? Forget it, you might not even know how many dynasties the blue and white porcelain has existed for."
"If I'm not wrong, this is a replica of the Yuanqing Chrysanthemum Cup. However, for some reason, the creator changed the original chrysanthemum pattern to a peony style. This is a little strange."
"Also, that Yuanqing Chrysanthemum Cup was auctioned off at a high price of 2.71 million in 2009! With that price, it could buy a Porsche Cayenne!"
"In addition, the Yuanqing Flower Vase has always been an antique that has a price but no market. Let's put it this way. Even if a company as great as our Antique Pavilion obtains a Yuanqing Flower Vase, it will be the treasure of the shop!"
Seeing the surrounding people nod repeatedly, Sun Zhi was extremely proud.
This was what he wanted to see. It was not considered stepping on a kid like Lin Yi. No matter what, he was of the same generation as his parents. It was too shameful to lower himself to his level.
Most importantly, he wanted to show off his profound knowledge in front of so many people and his staff. Therefore, Sun Zhi had always spoken in an elderly tone to educate his juniors.
After saying this, Sun Zhi raised his head and looked at Lin Yi with a condescending expression. However, the disdainful expression on Lin Yi's face stunned him the next moment.
Lin Yi listened to Sun Zhi's bragging and naturally did not hide the disdain on his face. This guy was embarrassing himself.
At this point, he was not in a hurry to leave. After being mocked like this, how could he turn around and leave? At the very least, he had to retaliate.
Moreover, the most important thing was that he had come to the antique city to sell things today. If Sun Zhi thought that this was fake, it would not be easy to sell his things today. After all, if he went out, people would only think that his things were fake.
"What? You still won't give up? Forget it, forget it. Little Wu, call Appraiser Wang over so that I can give up."
The reason why he got someone to call the appraiser was partly because he only knew this much and could not continue.
On the other hand, he wanted to let the appraiser prove that he was indeed very skilled. Sun Zhi was still very clear about killing two birds with one stone. Otherwise, he would not have been able to climb to his current position today.
However, after he finished speaking, Sun Zhi immediately felt angry when he saw Lin Yi shake his head in disdain. This kid was too ignorant. With his current status, he did not curry favor with him but revealed such an expression. It was detestable.
"Heh heh, young people nowadays are always so stubborn. They won't give up until they hit the wall. It's not that I'm competing with you, Lin kid, but if this thing of yours is true, I'll eat it in front of everyone today."
After hearing this, Lin Yi, who had been silent, finally spoke.
"There's no need to eat it, Uncle Sun. After all, you don't have such good teeth, right? How about this? If my antique is the real thing, smash your Cayenne. If my antique is fake, I'll smash it and eat the scraps. How about that?"
Lin Yi was also annoyed by this guy's repeated mockery. However, because of his mother, he did not directly curse.
"Oh, I don't know where you get your confidence from. However, let's do something practical. It's not realistic to eat it. If this is real, I'll directly smash my Porsche in front of everyone. If this is fake, you can come over and work for me for free for a week from today!"
On the surface, it seemed that this guy did not mean to take advantage of him.
On the contrary, in the eyes of everyone, it was only an elder who wanted to teach a junior a lesson.
After all, working for free for a week did not affect him at all. On the contrary, it could allow him to learn some knowledge.
Of course, Lin Yi knew that this guy was evil. If he worked for free for a week, wouldn't he be unable to participate in his college entrance examination?
However, out of trust in the system, Lin Yi still agreed without any hesitation.
"Alright, it's a deal. So many people are listening. When the time comes, please don't go back on your words, Manager Sun. After all, if you lose and don't admit it, you won't have the face to stay here in the future."
Encouraged by Lin Yi's words, Sun Zhi immediately patted his chest and said that whoever went back on their words would be a coward!
At this moment, the salesperson in a cheongsam had already walked over with a small old man in a Tang suit.
When they saw the person, the surrounding people nodded and greeted the old man. This old man was very famous in the antique shop. After he appraised the treasures, very few were eye-catching.
"Elder Wang, I've troubled you to come over. This junior of mine brought a Yuanqing Flower Vase over. Please take a look."
Seeing that the old man arrived, the originally arrogant Sun Zhi put down his arrogant attitude.
Although his identity was now the general manager of this place, his value to Antique Pavilion was not half that of the old man.
When the little old man heard about the Yuanqing Flower Vase, his eyes immediately lit up. Then, he followed Sun Zhi's finger to look at Lin Yi in the crowd and said anxiously, "Little brother, there's a Yuanqing Flower Vase? Quickly take it and let me take a look."
Seeing the old man's anxious expression, Lin Yi smiled and handed the porcelain cup in his hand to him.
The old man hurriedly waved his hand and pointed at the table and chair beside him.
"No, no. I can't touch the porcelain with my bare hands. Little brother, just put the things on the table."
Hearing the old man's words, Lin Yi smiled and agreed. He walked straight to the resting area and casually reached out to place the porcelain cup on the table.
When the old man who followed closely saw this, he hurriedly took out a pair of white gloves from his pocket and put them on. He then reached out and took out a very small magnifying glass before carefully picking up the porcelain cup on the table.
