I worked as a trainee appraiser in a pawn shop and was ridiculed by the rich second generation as "only worthy of counting money."
He showed off his newly acquired "Northern Song Dynasty Ru Kiln Azure Glaze Wash", and I noticed that the base flint red was too uniform.
"Imitation, repaired." I said softly.
The whole audience burst into laughter, and the rich second generation smashed the porcelain washer: "Poor man, can you afford to pay for it?"
I silently picked up the pieces and said, "The flint red is too deliberately aged. The real thing is at the stall next door."
Three days later, the azure glaze wash sold by the stall owner next door sold for RMB 30 million.
The second-generation rich family was on the verge of bankruptcy due to wrong acquisitions. He knelt in front of me: "Please evaluate our company..."
I showed the appraisal company license I just acquired: "Consulting fee, 100,000 per minute."
