Chapter 81 The Legendary Concealment
"Look at the color of this jade, it's gray and blue, it's not a good material either."
Yu Feibai commented and said with certainty: "In other words, in your store, boss, the price is only 3,000 yuan. If it is at a street stall outside, you can get it for 300 yuan."
In fact, this piece of jade fish is not as bad as Yu Feibai said. At least the scales on the jade fish are still carved, but the knife line marks are shallow and faintly visible. However, it is like the shopkeeper exaggerating about the jade fish.
If you want to lower the price, you must make things worthless.
"Yes, from what my little brother said, I know you are also an expert." The shop owner smiled bitterly and sighed: "However, I spent 10,000 yuan to collect the things. If you really want to, I can give them to you at the cost price.
you."
Wang Guan and Yu Feibai didn't believe this at all. The shop owner didn't look stupid, so how could he pay such a high price for such a jade fish in such poor condition?
"Boss, we've already talked about this. You're asking for 10,000 yuan. It's not that I'm scorning you, but that you're raising the price on the ground." Wang Guan said with some dissatisfaction: "It's only 3,000 yuan. If it works, if it doesn't work, we'll go elsewhere."
."
It could be seen that Wang Guan was not joking. The shopkeeper immediately gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, I think this little brother likes you. Even if I lose money, I will make you my friend."
"Then wrap it up."
Wang Guancai didn't bother to pay attention to the store owner's conversation, and waved directly: "Can you swipe your card?"
"Of course." The shopkeeper nodded, took a small box, packed the jade fish, and waited until Wang Guan swiped his card and paid before sending them off without interest.
After going out and walking a few dozen steps, Yu Feibai immediately stretched out his hand and said, "Wang Guan, show me the jade fish."
"What's wrong?" Wang Guan was a little surprised, but he still handed over the jade fish.
"I was in the store just now, so I couldn't watch it carefully. Now that I have the jade fish, I must make a good appraisal." Yu Feibai said, picked up the jade fish, and couldn't wait to watch it again and again.
Wang Guan was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly understood. He couldn't laugh or cry and said, "Don't you think that I missed something again?"
"Is not it?"
Yu Feibai said matter-of-factly: "If it's not a leak, what did you buy it for?"
"It's not enough to just watch." Wang Guan said with a smile.
"Oh, no one believes it." Yu Feibai sneered, continued to look at the jade fish, and said thoughtfully: "Although this jade fish is inconspicuous, I heard Mr. Qian said that due to frequent wars in ancient times, many collectors, in order to protect
I have treasures of my own, and I have come up with many ways to hide them."
Wang Guan's heart moved and he quickly asked: "What kind of blindfold?"
"There's jade hidden in a stone, a leaf blinding the eyes, flowers in the mist, flowers in the mirror, mirages disappearing, etc. There are all kinds of methods that are endless and mysterious, making it difficult for people to distinguish the true from the false." Yu Feibai said seriously: "Wang Guan, you
Don’t believe it, do you know why many counterfeits nowadays can look real? It’s because these counterfeiters have used these techniques in reverse.”
"The old trick was to hide the real treasure through some ingenious and superb techniques, so that it would look like a fake and it would not be touched." Yu Feibai said softly: "But now some people use this method.
This is a way to make fake things look exactly like the real thing, so that people can be deceived, and even experts are stunned."
"So powerful?" Wang Guan asked in surprise. In fact, he was eight or nine percent convinced.
"Mr. Qian once told me that the real antique counterfeiting technology is absolutely confidential and will not be made public. All counterfeiting techniques circulated in the society are untrue or outdated."
Yu Feibai shook his head and said: "But many people don't understand. They think that they can identify the methods of counterfeiting antiques by just searching on the Internet. But they don't understand how the real core counterfeiting technology, which is the basis of people's livelihood, can be leaked casually.
go out."
"Of course, except for those things on the market that are fake and shoddy at first glance."
Finally, Yu Feibai said with a smile: "Perhaps those who have mastered the legendary blind trick must despise those who make shoddy work. They feel that they have no technical content at all and are completely unable to compete on the stage."
Wang Guan nodded and asked curiously: "Then have you ever seen something that is disguised as real?"
"I just haven't seen it before, so I'm very curious."
Yu Feibai sighed and said: "Mr. Qian has seen it once before. This kind of thing that is disguised as real is relatively rare, and the concealment method is very clever. Most people can't distinguish it, so they treat it as ordinary things.
.Therefore, compared with real things, treasures concealed by such methods are more susceptible to damage."
Wang Guanshen believed that in turbulent times, good things would be cherished and cared for even if they were plundered. However, seemingly ordinary items did not receive such treatment and were often easily destroyed in the flames of war.
At the same time, Wang Guan said thoughtfully: "You have never seen something that is disguised as true, so you should have some understanding of things that are disguised as true, such as Bai Yushanzi just now."
"Haha, have you noticed it too?" Yu Feibai said with a smile.
"That's not the case. I haven't gotten started yet, so I can't see any clues." Wang Guan said with a smile, "However, I can tell from your expression that there may be a problem with this thing."
"It's not a problem, it's something that's not real." Yu Feibai said with a smile: "Listen clearly, it's not real. It's not a fake, and it's not fake jade."
"Why do you say that?" Wang Guan didn't quite understand the difference.
"For fakes, we use other jade materials, such as Qinghai materials, Russian materials, Korean materials, etc., and use some techniques to disguise them as real Hotan materials. Although, by definition, Qinghai materials, Russian materials, and Korean materials are all collectively referred to as
Hetian jade. However, in the minds of us players, those are all fakes."
With a bit of contempt, Yu Feibai scolded the profiteers a few times, and then continued: "As for fake jade, it is easier to understand. It is even more hateful to dye the stone directly and pretend it is real jade."
"So, where is the white jade mountain son just now?" Wang Guan asked curiously: "It's not a fake, and it's not a fake jade. Could it be the real thing?"
"It is indeed the real thing, but it is not thorough enough." Yu Feibai smiled and explained: "I just pressed it lightly and found that the texture of this jade mountain is hard, but compared with the real Hetian jade, there is still a little gap in strength.
"
"Didn't I say that I have been playing with jade for many years, and I can tell the difference."
Yu Feibai was a little proud and said with a smile: "As soon as I got started, I knew that the white jade Shanzi must be made of real Hetian jade powder, chemically synthesized into whole jade, and then carved into shape."
