Fang Feiyang weighed the so-called ancient jade from the Han Dynasty in front of him in his hands, found a piece of cotton cloth and gently wiped it, and said helplessly: "First tell me how this thing came to be auctioned.

Yes, has no one identified it before?"

"Of course I asked someone to appraise it. The company's ancient jade expert Li Rujun personally checked it. After the company confirmed the order that day, I even treated Li Rujun to a meal."

Zhang Guoshan remembers it very clearly. Of course, such a big business is still fresh in his memory.

The owner of the Panlong Valley Pattern Wall is named Zhang Zide. After all, this person was introduced to Zhang Guoshan by Fang Feiyang.

Zhang Zide is a real antique investment businessman and a member of the Sioux City Antique Chamber of Commerce. In recent years, the collection of ancient jade has become popular in China. Due to the nature of a businessman, Boss Zhang naturally focused on the investment and collection of ancient jade.

Two years ago, he took over this "Panlong Valley Pattern Wall" from the circle, spent more than 900,000, and kept it in the safe at home. In the second half of this year, there will be a wave of ancient jade trading in the collection world again.

, I was so excited that I put this thing up for auction. After reselling it, I could make a net profit.

Zhang Guoshan told Fang Feiyang the whole story.

Fang Feiyang listened very carefully and asked a few questions.

Finally, he determined that this so-called Panlong Valley pattern wall made in the Han Dynasty and handed down for thousands of years should have existed in the antique collecting world for a long time, but no one has ever discovered the strangeness in it.

Boss Zhang Zide is also a victim. From himself to the previous collectors and experts from the auction house, almost everyone has taken notice.

If Fang Feiyang had not participated in this grand auction, it is estimated that this thing would have continued to circulate in the circle, flowing from one collector to another, everyone regarded it as a treasure, but in fact it was

A blade of grass.

Of course, if this thing meets Master Song Longshan, Mr. Chen from the Forbidden City Museum, or Mr. Ji from the Yipin Tea House, its true form will be revealed and the fake will be discovered immediately.

The person who imitated this thing has a very thorough understanding of jade collection and is familiar with the general common sense of identification. In addition, the imitator is superb and proficient in jade carving craftsmanship. Therefore, this Panlong Wall is imitated so vividly that it can be mistaken for the real thing. Ordinary players

, including these antique investment businessmen, are very likely to fail when encountering this situation.

"I said, brother, I have said everything I need to say. At least you can explain it clearly so that I can understand clearly, where is this jade that is fake? I see it has blood-colored qin and brown qin, and the patina is thick and thick.

, the glossiness is good...when it reaches this point, stop hiding it and talk about it."

Zhang Guoshan has mentally accepted the fact that the dragon wall in front of him is a fake. Although he still doesn't understand where this thing is fake. But he has 10,000 trust in his brother, even if Fang Feiyang now says

Even if he wants to smash it, he will do it even if he doesn't understand the reason.

At this moment, he lit a cigarette for himself and handed one to Fang Feiyang. There were Su Yazhi and Hua Qiujing in the room, and they also wanted to hear the reason why Fang Feiyang was so sure.

Fang Feiyang smiled at everyone and said: "Hey, I have been studying the appreciation of ancient jade recently. I have consulted a lot of information in this regard, including folk methods and appraisal books written by authoritative experts. It just so happens

Today I encountered a case of "old jade, new work".

When he said this, Fang Feiyang felt a little blushing. He didn't have time to study ancient jades these days. Some of the knowledge he had in his mind was what he learned when he was studying antiques.

"Old jade and new work?"

"Yes!" Fang Feiyang nodded and continued to explain, "The material of the Panlong Valley pattern wall itself is indeed a piece of ancient jade, but it is not the white jade of the Han Dynasty as the auctioneer on the stage introduced.

, at best it’s sapphire!”

"Sapphire?"

"Yes, from the perspective of jade itself, it is not very high-end. This kind of sapphire often appears in the burial objects of the ancients after their death. Everyone knows the famous jade clothes with golden threads, which were unearthed from the tombs of the Han Dynasty.

The most representative luxury burial objects were the gold threads on the jade clothes. After the tomb robbers looted all the jade pieces, no one wanted the jade pieces scattered in the coffins in the tombs. The material of those jade pieces was

Sapphire."

The reason why the gold thread jade garment is precious is that it uses gold threads to thread jade pieces together to make a human-shaped costume. Through it, it can reflect the fear of ordinary people towards the imperial power. In other words, this preciousness is reflected in humanities.

On a level, when it comes to the jade pieces used as materials, they are actually not very valuable.

Fang Feiyang's mind was running rapidly, and he explained everything he knew about the appreciation of ancient jade, trying his best to be as reasonable and well-founded as possible.

What he saw from the super-sensory images was exactly what he saw: a middle-aged man in modern attire collected many ancient jade fragments from the market at low prices, and through careful selection, made the ones that were in good condition and large area.

The sapphires are placed in categories. Then, the Panlong Jade is carved according to the color characteristics of the existing jade and the shape of the drawings according to the drawings and patterns that have been prepared.

This man's craftsmanship is outstanding. He carved pieces of scattered sapphire into parts, and finally bonded the various parts of the dragon together. The carving process used techniques such as openwork and relief carving, which were exquisite and lifelike. He also used

The Panlong jade jade carved and shaped by the handicrafts of the older generation makes this dragon look strong, powerful and unique in shape.

"No?...Are you saying that this jade is not a whole piece, but is made up of several carved parts?"

Zhang Paoshan found it difficult to accept it for a while. Although he was not an expert in identifying jade, he had worked in the auction house for more than three years and had seen many beautiful jades handed down from ancient times. He had also inspected this piece of Panlong Valley pattern wall before.

His feeling is that it is completely natural, with full lines of decoration. How come it is just pieced together from fragments?

"Well, that's true. I was sitting in the first row at that time, closest to this lot. From my angle, I accidentally discovered that there was a patchwork of color difference on the jade. I wasn't sure at the time. But I would rather

Believe it or not, if this thing leaks out of our auction and is recognized by a real expert, the prosperous brand will be ruined."

The first half of Fang Feiyang's sentence was completely made up. He didn't notice any color difference in the seams, and his eyes are not super microscopes. Although this fine imitation jade biscuit is indeed made up of multiple carved parts glued together, but

The counterfeiters' techniques are almost perfect, and under normal circumstances, they are invisible to the naked eye.

But other than that, he really couldn't think of any other reason to explain why he could spot the fakes on the auction stage from several meters away.

Could it be said in front of everyone that he has special powers and can sense that this thing is a fake made by someone with ulterior motives?

Fang Feiyang paused for a moment and continued: "Just now, I carefully inspected this jade here. The reason why it can deceive so many experts, and even experts from the auction house, is that it is a fake.

The artist used old jade, which has a long history, and the material provides a layer of protection for this work."

Fang Feiyang used the word "work". Because this person's skills were so extraordinary, he had to admit that it was a rare jade carving work.

It's a pity that this jade carving is scattered. If someone wants to clearly distinguish whether it is genuine or not, he can just put it in boiling water for a few minutes and the dragon will fall apart.

Now that the prototype of this item has been revealed under the appraisal of Fangda experts, the next thing to do is to properly handle the fake auction incident.

Externally, of course, they continue to claim that the "Panlong Valley Pattern Wall" was auctioned off by a mysterious buyer at a high price of 3 million. Internally, they must find Zhang Zide who came to entrust the auction, inform him of this unexpected discovery, and then return the "treasure" to him
