Chapter 227 People are more popular than dead people!
"Brother Qing, are all Boss Long's batch of official kiln porcelain fakes?!"
When Mr. Fujino was so angry that he vomited blood, He Qing and Lin Haitao took a taxi on the way to the hotel. At this time, Lin Haitao had not yet recovered from the incident. He could not believe the result.
But He Qing nodded solemnly and replied: "Well, they are all, not a single piece is left! Boss Long was really impressed this time. If his thirty pieces of porcelain are really what he said, the price is so high."
The total is incalculable, probably several hundred million?!"
"Hundreds of millions?!" Lin Haitao took a breath and said in confusion, "Boss Long is so unlucky?! He spent such a high price and didn't receive even one genuine product?! Didn't he say that he would accept it?"
Nearly twenty years? I don’t believe he is so unlucky!”
He Qing laughed and said meaningfully: "Haitao, do you really believe what he said? I believe the price he said, but he said that the items were collected one by one, and he collected them for so many years.
This is very questionable. But whether he tells the truth or not, it doesn’t matter to us. Anyway, I just show him the things and don’t help him find out the origins of the things.”
"Well, what you said makes sense." Lin Haitao nodded vigorously and said solemnly, "Actually, I thought Boss Long was a bit mysterious from the beginning, as if he was deliberately hiding something from us.
"
He Qing said nonchalantly: "Haitao, forget about him. Anyway, we have done what we should do. The rest of the things have nothing to do with us. You should not tell this matter to avoid causing trouble. Now Boss Long
It’s an eyesore and I feel very sorry for the loss so much. The only thing I can do is to keep this secret for him and not make it known to everyone.”
"I won't talk nonsense about this." Lin Haitao nodded quickly and agreed, "Just pretend that this didn't happen. But it's really a pity. Boss Long guarded a room full of precious porcelain, but in the end it turned out to be a batch of fakes.
This gap is too big, no one can bear it, right?!"
He was convinced of what He Qing was sure of. After the two discussed the matter for a while, he calmed down and stopped worrying about it.
After returning to the hotel, He Qing and Lin Haitao had lunch first. After the meal, the two did not go out, but stayed in the guest room. He Qing estimated that Boss Long would contact him soon. Sure enough, at around two o'clock in the afternoon
, Boss Long made a hurried call, only to hear him say in a hurried tone on the phone: "Brother He, I'm really sorry that I bothered you to come, but I didn't let you eat. I didn't greet you attentively. Please forgive me."
forgive."
He still seemed very polite, and He Qing said calmly: "It doesn't matter, you have already taken good care of me. Boss Long, regarding the appraisal of your batch of high-quality official kiln porcelain this morning, you should find another way to figure it out."
, that’s just my personal opinion, maybe I’m wrong, so you’d better find an authoritative appraisal agency to do a careful test to see if there is any problem with the porcelain itself. Now that the testing technology is so advanced, I think there is always a way
Are you sure about the age of your batch of porcelain?"
But Boss Long sighed deeply and refused: "Brother He, no need for that, it's useless. To tell you the truth, almost every piece of porcelain has been tested for carbon 14. It may be because it is not old enough.
The measured result is only an approximate number. There is no way to determine the specific age of the porcelain, so this method is of no use! Nowadays, the technology of aging porcelain is so advanced that it is not difficult to make the texture of porcelain age. Counterfeiters will
With their methods, people are really hard to guard against! Brother He, although it is a pity, I still want to thank you. I also believe in your vision. If you say there is something wrong with something, you are probably not wrong. But I still have
I have a question, I want to ask you."
"What it is, tell me." He Qing said casually.
Boss Long said in a deep voice: "I just want to ask you what kind of high imitation my batch of porcelain is, and whether it is 'Zhu Imitation'. If it is convenient for you, I will go to you right away and bring a piece of porcelain. Please
Please help me point out the specific problems, otherwise I will really die with my eyes open!"
He said it very seriously, and He Qing agreed without hesitation: "Well, okay, I'll go down and have some free time, but I won't go out. You can bring something to me, and we'll study it carefully then."
He had expected this section a long time ago. If he was not completely sure, he would not have made a sure decision at the time. When Boss Long saw the evidence, he would give up...
Later, Boss Long said goodbye and hung up the phone. He Qing also put away his phone and said to Lin Haitao: "Boss Long will come to us again later. He wants me to give evidence. It seems that he attaches great importance to this."
question."
"You need to say that?!" Lin Haitao said, "It can be seen that Boss Long trusts you very much, otherwise he would not have invited you here so enthusiastically. Brother Qing, if you know the evidence, then point it out
Come and tell him, or let him die happily! The most taboo thing in this industry is to punch in the eye, not to mention losing so much money, I can't even think about it. Several large villas were wasted in this way.
!”
The two chatted about this matter casually, and after waiting for about an hour, Boss Long hurried to the hotel with a few assistants.
What they brought was a large vase, a large pastel vase from the Kangxi period, with a correct shape, bright colors and very exquisite appearance.
"Brother He, to tell you the truth, this large pastel vase is the most expensive piece among the batch of official porcelain from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It cost me tens of millions!" Boss Long pointed at the exquisite vase and said seriously.
He said, "I just can't figure it out. If it is really a fake, why can it be so beautiful and perfect?! There are no flaws at all!"
It was obvious that he still had some doubts about He Qing's judgment, but that was true. If he was sure, he would not come to the other party with the porcelain for final appraisal now.
"Perfect porcelain is often fake. If it is porcelain that has been used and played for hundreds of years, not to mention being damaged, it will be somewhat worn, right? It's just that the degree is different, some are obvious, and some are very visible to the naked eye.
It's hard to tell." He Qing explained in detail, "Boss Long, let's take a closer look at this piece of porcelain. Whether it is the shape of the porcelain, the glaze color or the decoration, it is all exquisite to the extreme. It is on par with the craftsmanship of the official kilns of the Qing Dynasty.
It's comparable, or even surpasses it. But even though it's very similar, a fake is a fake after all, and you can't collect it seriously, otherwise the collection will lose its original meaning."
"I know that." Boss Long nodded hurriedly and replied, "But I still don't understand what the problem is and what's the fatal point?"
Since He Qing is so sure, he should be able to tell a reason, otherwise it would just be an unfounded guess.
"Boss Long, don't worry, let's talk slowly." He Qing said calmly, "This piece of porcelain is indeed beautiful. I don't deny this at all, but as a qualified appraiser, then
We have to distinguish the true from the false. This is the most fundamental thing. Otherwise, no matter how beautiful something is, it is of no use. It is not genuine. But what we want to collect are original antiques, not modern imitations.
, new imitations can only be regarded as handicrafts and cannot be linked to antiques!
"Okay, let's get to the point, Boss Long. If I read it correctly, this batch of porcelain is all high imitation, and it is a very famous high imitation, that is, 'Zhu Imitation'. However, it is different from the last time I gave it to Boss Zhao.
The 'high imitation' piece identified by a Japanese friend is a little different. That piece is an old imitation, it has a certain age, and its collection value is relatively high. And the batch you have has a total of thirty official pieces.
Kiln porcelain is all new imitations of "Zhu Imitation", which means that the "Zhu Imitation" porcelain making craft has not been extinct. There are still people making such high imitations that make it difficult to distinguish between genuine and fake. Unfortunately,
One batch fell on your hands!"
"'Zhu Fang'?! Is it really 'Zhu Fang'?!"
As soon as He Qing's words came out, not only the party involved, Boss Long, was shocked, but even the bystander Lin Haitao also had a look of horror on his face.
"Zhu Fang" has always been as powerful as a tiger in this industry, making people's faces change when they hear it.
The dozens of pieces of porcelain that Boss Long received were all imitation new products. What a concept!
It’s simply unimaginable!
"Brother He, why?! What evidence do you have?!" Boss Long turned pale and asked excitedly.
Before confirming this matter from He Qing's mouth, it was said that Boss Long still had a glimmer of hope. Now that the other party said that unequivocally, in an instant, the only glimmer of hope was gone, and all that was left was panic and fear.
despair.
He Qing said in a comforting tone: "Boss Long, don't get excited. Listen to me first. I won't talk nonsense without basis. Let's take a look at this porcelain now. The characters painted on it
The picture should be 'Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove', right?"
"Yes, it's Lin Qixian!" Boss Long replied in a trembling voice.
He Qing continued: "'Zhu imitation' is different from ordinary high imitations. Basically, every piece of porcelain will leave flaws. This must be a rule passed down by their ancestors. The things they make are...
They couldn't tell the difference themselves. In order to be able to distinguish them later, they all left certain secret notes. At the critical moment, they might be able to help themselves, which is equivalent to leaving a way out for themselves. So if this is a
'Zhu Fang', then there is a secret mark on it. Let me take a look first."
After saying that, he took out a pocket-sized magnifying glass from his pocket and carefully observed the piece of porcelain.
After a while, he raised his head, handed the magnifying glass to Boss Long, and said: "I looked carefully again with the magnifying glass just now, and I can basically confirm that this is a 'zhu imitation'. You can also see it yourself
Let’s see.”
"Where are you looking?" Boss Long asked in surprise.
He Qing said: "Look here, isn't there a person who looks like Ji Kang? Use a magnifying glass to look at his right eye and look carefully to see what's going on."
"Oh!" Boss Long agreed blankly, then he picked up the magnifying glass and looked closely at the large bottle of figures.
After watching it for a long time, all of a sudden, I heard him exclaim: "Ouch! What a typical 'Zhu Fang' secret sign!"
"What?! Did you really see it?!" Upon hearing this, Lin Haitao quickly came closer.
He saw He Qing's power again and said that He Qing was definitely an expert in identifying "Zhu imitation", and no one could see it more accurately than him in this regard.
Others look at it, but he picks it up!
Others lost hundreds of millions in one fell swoop, but he repeatedly picked up sky-high price treasures!
This comparison between people is really irritating!
