49 Shock! A Dragon Robe In The Chest? (3)
“After signing the contract, you’ll receive more support and resources from the platform!”
“And the share of profits from gifts will also be increased to 80%! The platform will only take 20%.”
Luo Feng had just finished his meal when he received a private message from someone.
He had disabled private messages for his account.
As such, the fact that the person had managed to get through to him proved that he was indeed an administrator of the platform.
Luo Feng thought about the offer. An 80 – 20 split was great, so he replied, “Alright, I’ll sign it and continue streaming on your platform!”
The platform was huge enough and had plenty of reach, plus, if they were willing to provide him with support, all the better!
“I’ve noticed that you’ve just dug up plenty of porcelain kitchenware, and you claim that all of them are from the Ming dynasty. Would you like us to get you an expert appraiser to evaluate them on the spot? This way, your claims will hold more weight, and you’d be able to boost your popularity!”
Wu Fanyu knew very well that a streamer of Luo Feng’s talents needed to be nurtured.
Within the short period of time he had become active, he had already amassed close to 250 thousand fans!
He was definitely a streamer with great potential.
“The platform has such connections? Sure, no problem. But could you get them to come over now?”
Luo Feng was a little surprised.
However, after thinking about it carefully, he was not the only streamer on the platform who collected and traded antiques.
As such, it was not unusual for the platform to have such experts under their payroll.
“Of course he can make it. He’s in Jiangnan city. I wouldn’t have made the suggestion unless he could easily make it to you.”
“Alright, I’ll wait for him then. It works out well for me too, since I plan to rest a bit after taking my meal.”
Luo Feng thanked the admin and said nothing else.
What the admin had mentioned was on point. If he could conduct an on-site appraisal, it would definitely boost his traffic.
The platform’s experts were quite credible.
It was said that they were all famous appraisers, without exception.
Hearing that their son had obtained a huge pile of porcelain ware, Luo Feng’s parents had rushed over to Shuitang Village somewhere around the afternoon.
However, after watching Luo Feng work for a while and realizing that it was boring, tedious work, he then sat at the side and scrolled through TikTok.
“You must be Mr. Luo?”
“The platform’s number one treasure hunting streamer? ”
“Hello, I’m Wang Yousheng. You can just call me Old Wang!”
“I’ve been called over by the streaming platform!”
Spotting an old man walking over, Luo Feng stood up from the rock he was sitting on and responded, “I just ate, so my hands are still greasy. I won’t shake hands with you! Good afternoon, old master.”
“Hello, Mr. Luo. I heard that there are a lot of porcelain here. Where can I find them?”
Wang Yousheng’s words indicated that he was not an employee of the platform.
Rather, he was a guest who was affiliated with the platform.
He likely would not have made his way over had he not heard about the large quantities of Ming Dynasty porcelainware.
“Over here, I dug them out this afternoon. Please appraise them for me, sir. Otherwise, my chat would claim that I’m talking nonsense.”
Luo Feng pouted as he pointed at the pile of pots and pans at the feet of his parents.
Seeing this, Wang Yousheng walked over and picked up a white porcelain bowl.
It was covered in mud.
After cleaning it with a small brush.
He flipped it up and down and started to inspect it.
“Is this the expert that the platform invited?”
“How come I don’t recognize him?”
“Just because you don’t know him doesn’t mean that they’re fake!”
“Yes, I’ve checked the information, and he is indeed a very authoritative expert! Especially in the porcelain industry!”
“He’s not just famous, he’s very famous. He’s the master of restoration in the Forbidden City. If he hadn’t retired, he would still be in the capital. He wouldn’t have appeared in his hometown in Jiangnan!”
While the viewers were avidly chatting.
Old Man Wang had also looked through a dozen or so of the porcelainware.
He clicked his tongue.
He seemed to be very satisfied.
“Old man, you’ve seen more than a dozen pieces now. What’s your opinion? The others don’t believe me, but what do you think?”
Luo Feng handed over a bottle of mineral water and asked.
“These are indeed porcelain bowls from the Ming dynasty.”
“The porcelain bowls of the Ming Dynasty are characterized by their fullness, robustness, simplicity, soft and rounded shapes, which give people a sense of simplicity and solemnity.”
“The patterns on the porcelain bowls are mostly freehand, with bold and vivid images. The dragons are fierce, with snouts resembling a pig’s, commonly known as pig snout dragons. Their hair are standing on end, their claws are rounded and they have three or five claws. In the later period, the dragon patterns show signs of aging. The phoenix patterns in the early period were similar to those of the Yuan Dynasty, with no feathers on the neck, and flame patterns often appeared on the bodies of the dragons, lions, and other animals.”
When Luo Feng asked Wang Yousheng about it, he went on and on about his professional knowledge.
“I don’t understand a single word he’s saying. It’s like he’s speaking a foreign language!”
...
“Hahaha! I feel the same way!”
“Maybe it’s like the saying goes, ‘a mountain separates those who work in different fields’!”
“Did Old Luo really dig up nothing but Ming dynasty bowls?”
“Just one look at each bowl and you’ll know which dynasty it belongs to? The host’s skill in appraising treasures is really good!”
“Ikr! It’s insane how good he is!”
“I thought he was a bronze rank appraiser, but he turns out to be a challenger rank one?”
After Wang Yousheng’s lengthy introduction, he finally stopped and said,”Mr. Luo, to be honest, although these bowls and chopsticks are from the Ming dynasty, their patterns and shapes are very ordinary. The ones without chips are worth about 3000 yuan, and the ones slightly damaged are worth about 2000 yuan! If the damage is high, they are only worth a few hundred yuan.”
Immediately after.
Wang Yousheng picked up a large porcelain bowl and began to examine it.
It was said to be an item from the Ming Dynasty.
He stared at it for a long time.
...
There was not anything particularly precious among the porcelain wares.
