Of course, if you wanted to go onstage for an appraisal, you had to show off your abilities as well. This was where the small round token the guard had given him earlier came in handy.
From his observations, Chu Chen discovered that there were three kinds of "colors" among the small round tokens at the scene: green, red, and gold. Gold should represent the highest rank, followed by red and green.
Chu Chen did not yet know what other differences there were between the three kinds of tokens, but he had seen the differences when it came to going onstage to appraise antiques.
For example, buyers with green tokens had little time to appraise an item, and they were not allowed to handle it for closer inspection. Red tokens came without that restriction, while gold tokens even allowed their holders to take photographs.
During the appraisal of the third item, for instance, a man standing behind a potbellied man had only a green token. When he saw that the other party could hold the item and examine it, he prepared to do the same, only to be stopped. He refused to accept it and argued several times. Had his friend not held him back, he would almost certainly have been thrown out.
This was only a minor interlude. The auction continued without incident, and the transaction prices grew higher and higher. Chu Chen, however, still had not seen anything he liked, and the same seemed to be true of Qiao Qingtai.
After three more items were sold, Chu Chen remained unmoved, and Old Qiao grew somewhat anxious.
