After all, Huo Chengdong is a man in his forties, and being calm in his face has long become a must-have in his life.
Hearing Shi Lei's words, he knew that Shi Lei must have seen the clue. If he wanted to cheat, Shi Lei would definitely not be able to say so much.
Since it has been seen, Huo Chengdong has nothing to be surprised. At most, he is curious about how Shi Lei saw that there was something wrong with this porcelain bottle.
"Oh? How did Mr. Shi say this?"
Shi Lei smiled, took off his gloves, and said with a smile: "Mr. Huo first said that there were two of the three porcelain bottles that you made. But in fact, although I was not sure whether the first craft was made by you made by someone, this second one was obviously not something that Mr. Huo could make. This porcelain bottle is not only older than me, but also much older than Mr. Huo. Therefore, Mr. Huo has not told me the truth."
"This is a small thing, it's not bad. I just have some intention of taking the exam. It's really a bit unfair to say that I'm not interested in transferring it."
Shi Lei laughed and said, "Mr. Huo should understand that I have actually seen the problem with this porcelain bottle, otherwise I wouldn't dare to speak out. The reason why I say that Mr. Huo still doesn't want to hand over the authentic product to me is because this third porcelain bottle almost lost sight. I have to admit that this is really unique and skillful. If this bottle wasn't just something fired from a folk kiln, I might have slapped it."
"Minist Kiln?" Huo Chengdong was also stunned, and then smiled and said, "If the Minist Kiln makes such a basic fortune, it would be a crime to kill the nine clans."
Shi Lei nodded and said, "If the whole bottle belongs to a folk kiln, and was in the only era in the history of the Ming Dynasty where there had been a punishment of the ten clans, it would have been a crime of killing the nine clans. However, the base is true, and it is absolutely produced by the official kiln, and the problem is only on the bottle. I just don't know whether this bottle was found by Mr. Huo, or if Mr. Huo took a look at it at the beginning. I have to thank Mr. Huo for his words just now. Mr. Huo reminded me twice, which made me realize that the porcelain bottle was wrong. Otherwise, I would probably have taken this porcelain bottle back happily as the authentic one."
Huo Chengdong had already understood completely that Shi Lei really saw it. He smiled and said, "Mr. Shi has such a good eye. But you said I reminded you twice. How do you say this?"
Shi Lei smiled and said, "The first time, when Mr. Huo first brought this bottle, the bottle was still in the box. Mr. Huo asked me if he decided that the third one was just the authentic one. If Mr. Huo hadn't lie to me, it was true that one of the three bottles must be real, then the third one was of course the authentic one, and Mr. Huo wouldn't say such a sentence. At that time, I felt a little strange, but I didn't pay too much attention. And when I saw this bottle, I almost thought it was real.
When I was undoubtedly good at it, Mr. Huo asked me again, and the general idea was the same, but Mr. Huo may not have paid attention to it. There was a little frivolous feeling in your words. This was too inconsistent with Mr. Huo's temperament, which only means that Mr. Huo was secretly proud. I felt that there must be something wrong here, and Mr. Huo had already told a lie about these three porcelain bottles, so if it was said that there must be genuine products in the three, it would be less credible. In the end, I still saw the problem."
Huo Chengdong laughed loudly, clapped his hands and applauded Shi Lei.
"The young man is so terrifying, it's so terrifying. I spent more than 100,000 US dollars to buy this porcelain bottle more than ten years ago and always regarded it as a treasure. It was not until I bought the authentic item at Sotheby's auction two years ago. I thought it would be perfect if I put the two things together, but after putting them together, the top and bottom were immediately judged. This little ghost never hides anything. After studying it for a long time, I finally discovered the secret on the bottom of the bottle. The bottle body is indeed not the same as the bottom of the bottle, but it is welded it with extremely high skills. This skill is also amazing, which makes me feel that it is not a loss for spending more than 100,000 US dollars back then. However, Mr. Shi said that the bottle body was produced by a folk kiln? But I always thought it was a bottle from another official kiln, but one just lacked the bottom and the other only had the bottom left. So someone used superb skills to combine it into one."
Shi Lei said: "The particles on the bottle are still a little rougher. If they are really from the same official kiln, they should be more delicate. Moreover, the blue and white brushstrokes on it don't seem to be dizzy, and they are always a little bit worse. Of course, if this thing is complete, it is also excellent in the folk kiln, almost comparable to the official kiln."
Huo Chengdong couldn't help but pick up the bottle and take a closer look.
After waiting for a while, Shi Lei said, "Mr. Huo, since I have seen that these three bottles are all fakes, then is it time to invite the authentic ones?"
Huo Chengdong put down the bottle in his hand and said, "Okay, Mr. Shi, I'll go out to buy that bottle out now. However, since Mr. Shi has such good eyesight, he doesn't seem to value my collection. Is it because there are too many fakes in my collection? Why don't you ask Mr. Shi to help me see if there are any fakes here that I haven't seen yet?"
Shi Lei smiled faintly and said, "I just don't dare to look at it too much, just because I'm afraid I'm happy to see Lie. Then I can't walk anymore. It's not like Mr. Huo imagined, because I'm not interested in these things."
Huo Chengdong suddenly realized and laughed: "So that's it. It seems that I misunderstood Mr. Shi. Okay, I'll invite the authentic Wanli blue and white porcelain. Mr. Shi, please wait."
Shi Lei thought about it and found that there was still some time left in the appraisal card, so he made good use of the remaining time in Huo Chengdong's collection. He really asked him to find a few things in question, but he didn't know if Huo Chengdong knew about these.
After Huo Chengdong came back, Shi Lei glanced at him and knew that the porcelain bottle this time was definitely the authentic one.
Of course, he still had to pretend, then put down the porcelain bottle, and exclaimed: "The cleverness is the pinnacle of the world."
Huo Chengdong smiled slightly, pointed to the few things that Shi Lei picked out and asked, "These...?"
Shi Lei said: "I personally think these things have some problems, but it may be because I missed it."
Huo Chengdong understood that this was Shi Lei's self-righteous statement. Among those things, there were two of them, which were undoubtedly fakes, which he had already confirmed by himself. The remaining three were something he didn't know.
"These two are indeed fakes, they are all things that were taken seriously in the early years. And for the remaining three, I hope Mr. Shi will give me some advice." After experiencing the three porcelain bottles, Huo Chengdong was already very impressed by Shi Lei's eyesight, and even became more polite in his speech.
Shi Lei waved his hand and said, "Mr. Huo is so polite. I dare not give me some advice. Let's discuss it."
Then, he picked up the first thing and said, "This one should have been an ancient sword from the Han Dynasty, but I always feel..."
Although this is something that cannot be confirmed for the time being, Shi Lei said one by one, which made Huo Chengdong feel quite reasonable. In fact, he didn't know that Shi Lei didn't understand these things at all, and what he said was ambiguous words. He could only clearly confirm that these three things were wrong in the age and the value was not right.
