Chapter 103 The young man has good eyesight (seeking a monthly ticket,
Chen Wenzhe rolled his eyes and said, "How are they the same? Do those Four-Yang Square Zun weigh ten kilograms? The imitation ones are roughly the same, but are the details the same? It just looks the same to you."
"The young man is right, this one is a high imitation. If you look carefully, 30,000 yuan is really not expensive." Professor Wang also said.
Chen Wenzhe was very happy to be recognized by an expert.
Feeling happy, Chen Wenzhe wanted to say a few more words.
"No matter how good the real thing is, can we hold it in our arms and take a closer look? Take out your mobile phone and search it to see if the real Siyang Fangzun is different from this one."
Professor Wang also respected me and looked at it carefully.
After reading it, he said with emotion: "Except that the original one was broken and then repaired, it is really no different from this one."
"Is the national treasure really broken? Or has it been repaired?"
There were many people watching the excitement around, who were a little dumbfounded.
"It has indeed been restored." Professor Wang confirmed.
Of course, Chen Wenzhe also knows this. Restoration is a major item in making things old.
Damage to cultural relics is inevitable because environmental self-damage and man-made destruction are ubiquitous.
Is it impossible to save something if it is damaged? Of course not. Cultural relic experts with superb restoration techniques can restore them to their original appearance in most cases.
Among the rare national treasures collected in China today, some have been restored.
From scraps on the ground to the complete world, the efforts and efforts expended by the experts are immeasurable.
The most representative restored cultural relic is the large bronze ritual vessel of the Shang Dynasty, the Siyang Fangzun.
During the Anti-Japanese War, a farmer in Nanhu Province dug it up while clearing wasteland.
Later, Dang Baobao was sold to a businessman for 400 yuan.
The businessman wanted to resell it, but it was confiscated by the local county government.
During the Changsha Anti-Japanese War, the Siyang Fangzun was lost. When it was found again, it had been blown into more than 20 pieces by Japanese artillery shells.
The national treasure was destroyed, and countless people were heartbroken. Fortunately, China has no shortage of masters. The Siyang Fangzun was finally successfully restored by Zhang Xinru, a master of cultural relic restoration, which took only more than two months.
The fact that the Siyang Fangzun was able to be restored to its original state is not only due to the master's superb skills, but also due to the minor degree of its fragmentation. The reassembly of more than twenty fragments was relatively easy.
In comparison, the bronze chariots and horses from the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum that were broken into thousands of pieces were really difficult to repair.
It is because of knowing this that Chen Wenzhe pays more attention to this high imitation.
It is a true high-end imitation, a one-to-one imitation, and every detail is imitated to perfection.
"If this piece is sent to the Palace Museum, it can be immediately displayed as a real treasure. Do you believe it?" Chen Wenzhe looked at Li Qingtian with a look of contempt.
Professor Wang immediately said jokingly: "You're right. It's not just the Forbidden City. It can be put into any museum and put on display. The young man has a good eye and can find such good things."
"Haha, it's just luck. There are national treasures everywhere here, and many people don't bother to take a look. I was also lucky. I wanted to find a stall to do some small business, but unexpectedly, I came across a stall full of high imitations."
"Are these pieces for sale? I'll give you a high price!"
"Not for sale!"
"I'll give you 50,000 yuan for this Four-Yang Square Zun. The price of this kind of bronze imitation won't be too high."
Chen Wenzhe looked at Professor Wang in surprise. Is this old man deaf?
"I'll give you 3,000 for this small chime, 10,000 for that He Zun, and 60,000 for the big bronze drum. A total of 123,000, how about it?"
After finishing speaking, Professor Wang looked at Chen Wenzhe with a smile on his face, as if he was waiting for his flattery!
Chen Wenzhe was already shocked at this time. This old man is so evil!
"What's wrong? Are you so happy? Are you still reluctant to sell? The price I offered is not low."
"no......"
Before Chen Wenzhe finished speaking, Professor Wang laughed.
"Forget it, these things of yours are pretty good, I'll round them up for you. Count them all, and I'll give you 150,000. After all, these are all imitations. Everyone knows that they can be said to be fake at first glance.
Ten thousand yuan is a lot."
Chen Wenzhe fell silent. Did the old man really not know, or was he pretending not to know?
He spent 30,000 yuan on a Four-Sheep Square Zun, and now he actually told himself that he would only pay 150,000 yuan after everything was fully paid?
Is it more than 150,000? According to the original boss’s price, it’s more than that!
"Haha..." At this time, many people watching the excitement around them reacted.
"Professor Wang is right, young man, have you noticed it? Something you bought for hundreds of thousands is now worth hundreds of thousands."
The original boss, who was initially a little worried by what Chen Wenzhe said, now looked much better on his face.
He just said, after all, it is an imitation, even if it is a high imitation, even if the imitation is lifelike and has no difference from the real thing, a fake is still a fake. How could it become a treasure?
Can it be sent to major museums for exhibition? It’s a dream, right?
He had just spent 230,000 yuan to buy it, and now it had become 150,000 yuan. The boss was afraid that Chen Wenzhe would take the blame, so he immediately squeezed out of the crowd and ran away.
Chen Wenzhe naturally saw the boss's performance, and he could only shake his head helplessly.
There are no good people in this antique shop, that’s true.
He originally had a good impression of these two people, but unexpectedly, it was all shattered now.
"Young man, if I give you 150,000 yuan, these things will all be mine!"
Just when Chen Wenzhe lamented that there are no good people in the world, Professor Wang had already taken out a stack of RMB. From the looks of it, it must have exceeded 100,000 yuan.
"Wait, when did I say I sold it to you?"
Seeing that Professor Wang was about to take action, Chen Wenzhe immediately stopped him.
"These things are not for sale, I made it very clear just now."
"What? Not for sale? I paid more than 150,000 yuan for these scrap copper and scrap iron. Cast them in one piece and polish them a little. You can get as much as you want. Young man, you have to think about it!"
"Well, in that case, you go find someone to cast some, don't you want as many as you want? Go ahead, I won't waste your precious time."
After saying that, Chen Wenzhe no longer wanted to pay attention to the old man. He looked at the stall and realized that these things needed to be put away.
Turning around, he opened the wooden box and found a lot of guarantees rolled into a ball inside.
I took out a lot at once, starting with the small packages, especially those bronze jue, 笲, 甗, gourd, gui, guanliu jue, goblet, 疝, lei, kettles with beams, gourd-shaped kettles with beams, center column plates, plates, etc.
.
The small one is put inside the big one, and finally it is put into the wooden box.
However, no matter how Chen Wenzhe packed it, he still couldn't fit it into a wooden box.
Forty-three pieces, which is really a lot.
"Wait a minute, do you dislike the small amount of money? I haven't seen clearly yet. There are so many pieces, forty pieces, right? If one piece costs a thousand, it would cost 40,000. Fifty thousand is indeed too little, so what's the deal with 200,000?
Sample?"
"Not so good!" Chen Wenzhe almost gave him a blank stare.
