"There must be evidence, but I'm just afraid that the big shopkeeper won't believe it and won't be willing to give it up."

At this time, Wang Guan shrugged and said: "When the Guanyin statues were made in ancient times, they were made with molds. The joints of the molds must have traces of adjustments made by extruding porcelain clay. But this one was spliced ​​together with old tire fragments.

Then there must be traces of grinding at the internal connections."

"You mean you want me to break the things and check them?" At the same time, the shopkeeper's face turned red. He didn't know whether he was anxious or angry. Anyway, his expression slowly darkened and he sneered: "Just

Because of your unreasonable inference, you asked me to throw something worth millions. If you really do this, are you stupid or am I stupid?

"Who said it was an unreasonable inference."

Wang Guan shook his head slightly and sighed slightly: "Do you know why Mr. Zhang and the others also feel that something is wrong? It's not some preconceptions that have been swayed by me, but years of experience accumulation, and I have vaguely noticed the flaws in the Guanyin statue."

"What flaw?"

Seeing Wang Guan's confidence, the shopkeeper's heart sank, and his face became uncertain.

"First of all, I want to say that this porcelain body must be the remnant porcelain of the Ming Dynasty. The glaze is also the waste glaze extracted from the Dehua white porcelain of the Ming Dynasty. It was then carefully spliced ​​and re-fired by experts. It can be said to be flawless. Even if it is used

Professional instruments may not be able to detect it. After all, instrument detection can at best know the composition of the porcelain, but it cannot determine the specific age."

Wang Guan talked eloquently, and most of the people present were experts and knew that what he said was right.

Because the current identification of the age of ancient porcelain mainly uses the method of thermoluminescence dating. However, the most accurate data detected by this method has an error of plus or minus fifty years. This must have a certain reference effect on high ancient porcelain, but

The identification of Yuan, Ming and Qing porcelain has no practical significance.

After all, in a hundred years, the development of porcelain in the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties changed so much that instruments could not detect it at all.

This is also the reason why many collectors would rather trust the appraisal of experienced appraisers than spend money to do instrument testing. They feel that the machine is controlled by humans, so it is better to just ask someone to check it.

Of course, the safest way is to find a master for appraisal and have professional instrument testing. However, it does not mean that both methods are very reliable after trying both methods. You must know that there is still a problem of probability. The most troublesome thing is,

One is found to be fake and the other is confirmed to be genuine. Who should you believe?

After all, not everyone has supernatural powers like Wang Guan, so he can speak with confidence.

"It's a pity that this thing is only seamless on the surface, but it ignores the difference in the weight of the Guanyin statue due to the difference in splicing fragments." Wang Guan said with a confident smile: "Everyone knows that this is a Guanyin statue ornament.

Then its center of gravity must be at the bottom."

Everyone nodded in agreement, there was no doubt about it. As long as anything is erected, the center of gravity must be downwards, otherwise it will be difficult to stand stably.

"But when I looked at the Guanyin statue just now, I discovered a detail."

Wang Guan smiled lightly and said: "I found that although the bottom of this Guanyin statue is a little heavy, the head is also quite heavy. So even though this Guanyin statue looks very stable, in fact, as long as the table is shaken slightly, the Guanyin statue will move

It fell down. It is obviously top-heavy and does not meet the biggest craftsmanship characteristics of the ornament."

"Snapped!"

Suddenly, Zhang Laoyi slapped his thigh, nodded and said: "That's right. That's what's wrong."

"If this Guanyin statue is made of ordinary Dehua white porcelain, then it is nothing. But the master's works should not make such low-level mistakes, right?" At the same time, Wang Guan continued to smile: "Everyone knows

, Master He Chaozong strives for excellence in his works. Even if he made a mistake and made the Guanyin statue top-heavy, he would definitely smash it and redo it if he found out afterwards. It is absolutely impossible to imprint his name on the back of the Guanyin statue again. "

"That makes sense..."

Everyone nodded, convinced that He Chaozong would never destroy his own sign.

"No way, the thing can't be a fake."

At this time, the big shopkeeper's face changed. Of course he didn't believe it, or he said he didn't want to believe it.

"I didn't say it was a fake. It's just that someone cleverly reused several fragments of the Guanyin statue from the Ming Dynasty and reassembled it into a complete ornament." Wang Guan said with a smile: "Strictly speaking, every fragment is correct, but

It’s not a genuine product in the true sense. That’s why I said, this thing has a demonic quality.”

"The mouth is on you, you can say whatever you want." The big shopkeeper retorted: "Look at this Guanyin statue as a whole, with very smooth lines. Is there any trace of splicing?"

"Shopkeeper Li, don't you want to try whether it's true or not?"

At this moment, a laughing voice came from outside the door.

"who is it?"

Everyone was startled and looked back, only to see seven or eight people standing there. Among them, the one who spoke was a middle-aged man in his forties with a somewhat stout figure.

"Yue Bu... Shopkeeper Yue Da, what are you doing here?"

In an instant, shopkeeper Li shouted, somewhat gnashing his teeth.

"Haha, shopkeeper Li, this is what's wrong with you. The visitor is a guest. Do you still plan to drive the guest away? Besides, I'm not here to see you." As he spoke, the fat middle-aged man left.

He came in and said with a smile: "I heard that many seniors are here to visit, so naturally we want to come over and say hello."

"Mr. Qin, Mr. Bai, Mr. Zhang, Mr. Tian..."

While shopkeeper Yue Da was greeting them, other people outside the door also poured in and respectfully asked the nine old people.

Needless to say, these people are all bosses and shopkeepers in the antique city. When Mr. Zhang and the others entered Fengbao Hall, someone must have seen them. With a little mention, the news would naturally spread.

Since you know the news, of course you have to come and visit. However, not everyone is qualified to come and visit. At least one of the several elderly people must know you and be able to call you by name.

Otherwise, it would be so embarrassing if you knew someone but they didn't know you.

Of course, there is another saying that birds of a feather flock together, and people flock together. So the people who come to visit now are either powerful shop owners, or big shopkeepers with extensive connections. To put it bluntly, they are competitors of Fengbaotang.

Shopkeeper Li was already in a very depressed mood, and now that he saw these competitors appearing, especially when he saw Yue Buqun, the man hiding a knife in his smile... well, it was Shopkeeper Yue, he naturally felt even more unhappy.

After some pleasantries and polite exchanges, it took several minutes before everyone had said hello. The main reason was that there were so many people and the seniority of the elders was so high that no one could be ignored.

However, the VIP room was already crowded enough with twelve or three people seated, and now seven or eight more people came in. Not to mention sitting down, even standing up seemed a bit crowded.

Seeing this situation, Shopkeeper Yue Da took the opportunity and said: "Seniors, this place is a bit small and can't accommodate everyone. Why don't you sit over at our Baoshan Pavilion?"

"Shopkeeper Yue Da, what nonsense are you talking about?" Shopkeeper Li Da heard this and said very dissatisfied: "They say our Fengbao Hall is small, and your Baoshan Pavilion is not much bigger."

"No matter how small Baoshan Pavilion is, it can accommodate a hundred or eighty people. Is it okay for you here?" Shopkeeper Yue Da sneered.

"I'm talking about the reception room, not the store." Shopkeeper Li snorted, finally not getting dizzy with anger, let alone getting into Shopkeeper Yue Da's trap.

At the same time, they saw the two of them quarreling like enemies, but some of the people next to them did not do anything. It was obviously commonplace and not strange. Moreover, everyone could also see that the two of them were quarreling, but more of them were talking about gossip.

In terms of superficial conflicts of temperament, they are not the kind of sworn enemies who never get along with each other.

What's more, in front of so many seniors, they didn't need anyone's persuasion. The two of them also paid attention to their sense of propriety. They just exchanged a few words and then stopped.

However, the problem of small places with many people still needs to be solved. Fortunately, the doors of several VIP rooms in Fengbaotang are connected. The door of the VIP room next to Shopkeeper Li is opened, and several rooms are connected and appear spacious.

many.

However, after everyone dispersed and sat down, shopkeeper Yue Da smiled slyly and said, "Brother Li, the Guanyin statue on the table seems pretty good. What's the origin of it?"

"This bastard must be asking questions knowingly."

Suddenly, Shopkeeper Li felt secretly angry and realized Shopkeeper Yue's "despicable" intentions.

Shopkeeper Li Da knew clearly that Shopkeeper Yue Da and others must have been here for a while. They must have heard Wang Guan’s analysis and comments and knew that there was something wrong with the Dehua white porcelain Guanyin statue on the table. Now that Shopkeeper Yue Da is asking this question, it is clear that he is

Disgusting people.

However, even if he knew that Shopkeeper Yue Da had bad intentions, Shopkeeper Li couldn't respond vaguely. After all, the things belonged to Fengbaotang. If there was really a problem, it would be Fengbaotang's interests that would be harmed.

The most important thing is that with so many people present, shopkeeper Li can no longer escape reality.

While thinking about it, shopkeeper Li picked up the white porcelain Guanyin statue and weighed it in his hands. He knew that Wang Guan was right. The Guanyin statue was really top-heavy. However, the weight difference between the head and feet was very small.

If they don't weigh it carefully, most people will definitely ignore it.

At this moment, Shopkeeper Li didn't realize that he classified himself as an ordinary person. After looking at it for a moment, he put the Guanyin statue upright, then gritted his teeth and pushed the table.

In an instant, the table moved, and the Guanyin statue on the table began to sway, and it was about to fall. However, before the Guanyin statue fell, shopkeeper Li held it up like lightning, and prevented it from falling.

Tragedy occurs.

However, shopkeeper Li couldn't be happy at this time, his face turned a little pale, and he was in a very bad mood. This small experiment fully proved that Wang Guan was right, there was indeed something wrong with the Guanyin statue.

Some people may think that this is just a minor problem and there is no need to take it seriously. Everyone makes mistakes. Maybe this Guanyin statue was an accidental mistake by He Chaozong. But shopkeeper Li knows very well that this excuse can only comfort laymen. Many things often

It is the details that determine success or failure...^-^^-^
