Chapter 345 is now in doubt, maybe it will become a high imitation in the future
"Modern people are also very good at playing with it. For example, Baoshao technology. In modern times, there are companies that are constantly researching and firing. In addition to Baoshao techniques and the mixing of pigments, gemstones also have other functions. For example, the modern calligraphy and painting master Qi Baishi, he
Just use gem powder and add it into the ink pad to make a special ink pad to prevent counterfeiting."
"Gem powder is added to the ink pad?" Li Jinli was really surprised this time.
Chen Wenzhe nodded. Qi Baishi died not long ago, and many of his things are still widely circulated.
For example, Chen Wenzhe once mentioned before that after his seal is made, he will deliberately tap it a few times to create some cracks.
These are all produced by random tapping, and it is not easy for you to imitate them.
This is also an anti-counterfeiting process, except for this, it is printing ink.
The ink pad used by Qi Baishi must be the top quality product, and it was given by others, so he was still worried, so he used gemstones.
Gem powder is added to the ink pad, and after the seal is stamped, the seal will have special effects, such as the color will be more beautiful, and it will remain as beautiful as before for a long time.
"So, when you encounter Mr. Qi's calligraphy and painting works, you must take a good look at the seal. The quality of the ink pad is on the one hand, whether there is gem luster in the ink pad, and on the other hand, there are special cracks."
"This can be regarded as an analogy, right? In the antique business, you really have to live and learn."
Is this an analogy? Chen Wenzhe’s final thoughts!
For example, now, although he is not involved in the collection and sale of calligraphy and paintings, if you really ask him to authenticate calligraphy and paintings, he can easily identify the authenticity.
Is this erudition, or is it called knowing everything from the past to the present?
"It's a pity that I have never seen calligraphy, painting and ink pads made with gemstones, and I don't know what the effect is!" Li Jinli said with confusion and yearning.
"The Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains painting is in the Palace Museum and has been restored several times. It should be displayed occasionally. If you are lucky, you may be able to see it. As for Qi Lao's ink pad, you will see it sooner or later in the market.
If the seals you see on a work are similar to those on ordinary calligraphy and painting works, or there is no difference at all, then you should be careful, as it is very likely to be a fake."
"Mr. Qi, this can be regarded as benefiting future generations. If the anti-counterfeiting is so good, there should be fewer imitations." Li Jinli said with a smile.
Chen Wenzhe shook his head when he heard this. As long as there is profit, no matter how hard you prevent counterfeiting, someone will imitate it. You know, the value of today's low-end gems is not high.
Including Bao Yaki, no matter it is ancient or modern, it is impossible to waste top-quality gemstones.
Therefore, just using low-end gemstones for treasure burning or adding ink pad will not increase the cost much.
In other words, as long as a certain price is paid, anything can be imitated, and this kind of thing can be regarded as a fine imitation.
Besides, Qi Baishi and his colleagues guard against counterfeiting in their own calligraphy and painting works, not to benefit the world, but to prevent imitations from disrupting the market.
Mr. Qi has a long life. Over the past few decades, he has completed many works. If he adds a large number of high imitations and fine imitations, can his works still be sold at high prices?
Therefore, Li Jinli was simply overthinking.
Looking at the large jar with a lid made of copper and filigree enamel with a cloud and dragon pattern in front of them, the two of them talked a lot. Somehow, they also talked about the domestic calligraphy and painting market.
"By the way, speaking of calligraphy and painting works, an authentic work by Li Bai recently appeared in China. I wonder if you have heard about it?" Li Jinli said a little excitedly.
Chen Wenzhe's heart moved: "Wang Liyang posted?"
"It seems that you also know. I heard that Neon also has one, which is also Wang Liyang's sticker, and they were born a long time ago. I don't know why, but now they are recognized by many experts in the country.
It’s an imitation.”
Looking at Li Jinli with a smile on his face, Chen Wenzhe understood that there was more of gloating in his smile.
As for the original Li Bai's work at Little Devil's side, they hoped it would be a fake.
People have the same mind and the same reason. This is the brilliance of Mu Kairong.
As long as his work is not too bad, it will definitely cause some waves.
He can't get involved in this kind of thing. Just like now, he can just watch the excitement.
What he wants to know most now is what the Honda guy did with the fine imitation Yuanqinghua piece he sold. There has been no news so far, and he is still a little uneasy.
"I heard that the two sides are arguing fiercely. There are also many experts in China who say that this domestic case is probably a fake, but there is no evidence. Now Neon has no choice but to hold an exchange meeting to gather all the experts from both sides.
Let’s conduct another appraisal on the two works.”
"Well, that's the right thing to do. The one over there with the little devil was already controversial, but now it's even more questionable. They must be anxious."
Chen Wenzhe could only snicker. He couldn't tell Li Jinli about such a thing!
"Can you not be anxious? A treasure that was originally priceless has now been proven to be a forgery. How can it be sold at a high price in the future? I think the collector of that work at this time must be on the verge of tears, right?"
Chen Wenzhe stopped talking. This was the effect Mu Kairong wanted.
Isn’t that kid being arrogant? Isn’t he showing off?
Let you show off, I will make you doubtful now, and it may become a high imitation in the future!
As the saying goes, three people make a tiger. If you talk too much, the truth can become false, not to mention that it is a questionable work in the first place.
The two people were talking when another guest came to the door.
This time, six old ladies came in at once, and the store was suddenly overcrowded.
The area of his shop is indeed small.
"By the way, are there any suitable shops I asked you to pay attention to?" Chen Wenzhe asked after seeing off the customers.
"No, the main reason is that the price is too expensive. There is one not far from us. The area of a shop is 100 square meters, but the annual rent is at least 1.8 million."
Chen Wenzhe thought deeply. The area was ten times that of his store, and the rent was six times more expensive. It seemed cheap, but this figure was really too big.
No matter who does business, can he guarantee to make one million a year?
Just the rent costs 1.8 million, plus other expenses, not counting employee wages, the annual cost is more than 2 million!
Besides, how much does it cost to buy a store of 100 square meters in an antique city?
The rent for ten years is more than 20 million, which is definitely enough to buy a shop of 100 square meters.
Therefore, this price is really not cheap.
"By the way, the management committee sent us a notice earlier, saying that it would rectify the antique market and strictly prohibit cheating and defrauding customers, otherwise it will be severely punished."
As he spoke, Li Jinli took out a document with a red official seal on it.
Chen Wenzhe took a look and said nothing more than rectifying the market and banning illegal business activities.
But in the antique shop, what are illegal business activities?
