"This..." Li Wancai felt like the world was spinning and he almost lost his balance.
Even though Mr. Sun said that if he didn't believe it, he could check it again with an ancient porcelain identification detector, but judging from Mr. Sun's professional status in the antique shop, there must be something wrong with this set of porcelain.
Others around him were also in an uproar when they heard Mr. Sun's words.
"It's impossible. I've clearly checked it carefully. It's impossible..."
Chen Sanping was shocked and ignored any rules. He rushed directly to Li Wanchai, grabbed a porcelain bottle, and looked inside the bottle.
Of course, the splicing marks were invisible to the naked eye, so he snatched the bright flashlight from Li Wancai's hand and actually saw subtle marks on the inner wall.
"Impossible...this is impossible..."
Both Li Wanchai and Chen Sanping were in a daze. They could not accept that this set of blue and white porcelain from the Song Dynasty was actually copied by craftsmen from the Qing Dynasty.
Although porcelain from the Qing Dynasty cannot be considered fake, its value is greatly reduced.
At this moment, Li Wancai suddenly thought of what Xu Tian said just now. He said that this set of porcelain was not a priceless treasure in his eyes...
Could it be that that boy had discovered something already?
Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
Xu Tian was just a layman who didn't know anything. Even he and Chen Sanping didn't notice the slight traces on the inner wall of the porcelain bottle. It was even less possible for him to know that this was not genuine blue and white porcelain from the Song Dynasty.
However, at this time, two expert appraisers invited by Mu Qiunian also came to the store.
Of course, in fact, all the attention of everyone present was focused on the set of blue and white porcelain from the Song Dynasty. They could not accept that this set of well-preserved porcelain turned out to be imitations made by craftsmen from the Qing Dynasty.
"I'm not dreaming... This set of porcelain was a treasure that was fought over by countless people before! Now you tell me it's from the Qing Dynasty?"
"Although the Qing Dynasty can be considered an antique, its value is definitely not as high as the blue and white porcelain of the Song Dynasty... This is simply a joy in vain..."
"I really didn't expect that Boss Chen would punch his eyes sometimes..."
When Chen Sanping heard the comments from the people next to him, his face became more and more ugly. He never thought that he would make a mistake one day.
However, even if this set of blue and white porcelain is not a product of the Song Dynasty, apart from the damage to his reputation, there is no actual loss to him.
After all, he had completed the transaction with Li Wanchai just now, and the money and goods were settled. Even if it was discovered that this set of porcelain bottles had been re-fired by a Qing Dynasty craftsman using the bottom of the bottle with the official kiln signature of the Song Dynasty, Li Wanchai did not ask him to return it on the spot.
Of course, the person who was hit the hardest at this time was none other than Li Wancai. He spent more than 100 million to buy this set of porcelain, hoping to sell it to a wealthy businessman from Sakura Country and make a huge profit. Now if this set of porcelain bottles is appraised
For porcelain from the Qing Dynasty, even if it is signed from the Song Dynasty, the price will be greatly reduced.
Porcelain from the late Qing Dynasty is not valuable at all, and a single signature from an official kiln in the Song Dynasty is worth only a few hundred thousand.
Li Wancai was so anxious that he was sweating and didn't know what to do. On the other side, under Mu Qiunian's introduction, Xu Tian and the two experts had already greeted each other and briefly introduced themselves.
"Two experts, I purchased a batch of porcelain from Boss Mu. Can you help me see if there is anything wrong with these porcelains?"
"It's easy to say..." The expert pushed up his glasses and said to Xu Tian: "Normally speaking, there is no problem with Boss Mu's goods, but if you are worried, we can also identify it for you."
"Haha, there's no problem. Boss Chen has noticed that these porcelains are all fakes. Where did they invite fake experts?" Someone next to him couldn't help but mocked in a weird way.
After hearing this, the white-haired old man talking to Xu Tian said nothing, but the middle-aged man next to him retorted angrily: "How presumptuous! Do you know what Mr. He is?"
Seeing the middle-aged man getting angry, the white-haired old man who was called Mr. He immediately waved his hand and said, "It's okay. Our antique shop just wants to allow different voices. Everyone can express his or her own opinion."
"Since Boss Chen said that Boss Mu's batch of porcelain is all fake, he certainly has his reasons. Then let me check this batch of porcelain."
Chen Sanping clenched his fists, and there was a faint light in his eyes.
He had never even seen this batch of porcelain from Mu Qiunian, so naturally he said that they were all fakes just to lower the price and ruin his reputation in the antique circle.
If there were only experts he invited in the store, they might help him cover up, but he didn't expect that Mu Qiunian also invited two appraisers.
Damn, with Mu Qiunian's current status in the antiques circle, he can still invite experts. It seems that his methods are not ruthless enough. He must find a way to make it completely impossible for him to survive in this industry.
OK.
In fact, Chen Sanping did overestimate Mu Qiu Nian. Mu Qiu Nian's reputation in the circle has been ruined by him for a long time. However, the two experts he invited today met in China a few years ago, and
By chance, the gray-haired Mr. He happened to owe Mu Qiunian a favor.
Therefore, this time Mu Qiunian wanted to find an expert to appraise Xu Tian's antiques, so he thought of Mr. He whom he had not contacted for a long time. Mr. He indeed kept his promise and rushed to Xu Tian immediately after receiving the call.
Came over.
"Master, I think you don't understand the market situation in the antique world here in Pava."
After getting angry, Chen Sanping quickly calmed down. The two people he met were very unfamiliar and they were probably not famous experts. He even wanted to threaten them and make them cheat on their appraisals.
"Mu Qiu Nian, shopkeeper Mu, often resells fakes to tourists from country y. This is known to the entire circle. Everyone is in the antique business. Naturally, they all receive fakes when they are aware of it."
"But Mu Qiunian is different. He specializes in collecting fakes and selling them to unsuspecting laymen. Because his behavior was too excessive, even the president of Country Y Antiques Association gave him a warning."
"When Shopkeeper Mu heard that there were customers from China in my store, he immediately ran over with the porcelain in his hands, so I judged that the porcelain he brought this time was also fake and did not exist at all.
Further detailed inspection is necessary!”
"I, Mr. Chen, despise this kind of behavior of using counterfeit goods to deceive ignorant consumers the most in my life, and as the vice president of the association, I will never tolerate shielding strangers and his accomplices!"
Chen Sanping's words contained an implicit threat. It could be said that he wanted to gain the upper hand in public opinion and suppress Mu Qiunian as soon as possible. He even used the name of Country Y Antiques Association.
He couldn't believe that among the dozen or so porcelains Mu Qiunian brought, there wasn't even one defective one.
