Chapter 290 The sky-high price of red sandalwood is fake! (Part 2)
"Brother He, how about my red sandalwood case, which is the best in the world?"
After watching for a while, Luo Zihao asked with a smile.
He Qing smiled slightly and said calmly: "Brother Luo, how did you get this rosewood desk?"
He didn't answer the question, and Luo Zihao didn't notice the strange look on his face at this moment, and said: "I received it not long ago. Brother He, to tell you the truth, this red sandalwood piece is my favorite.
This antique can be said to be the 'treasure' in my collection!"
"Oh, really?" He Qing nodded slightly and said, "Brother Luo, what is the origin of this thing? It must be quite big, right?"
I just heard Luo Zihao say in detail: "It really has an extraordinary background. I bought it from a big collector. Haha, I really fell in love with it at first sight. At that time, I asked the master to buy it.
It took him a long time before he was willing to give in. There will be an exhibition in the next few days. All the antique furniture on display are antique furniture from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. I really want to use this piece to compete with those collectors to see who collected it.
The furniture is the most beautiful! But before participating in the exhibition, I would like to ask someone to help me take care of it."
"Oh, that's it!" He Qing said suddenly, "Brother Luo, you must have spent a lot of money, right?"
"Brother He, in your opinion, how much do you think this piece of furniture of mine is worth?" Luo Zihao asked He Qing in turn.
He Qing smiled meaningfully, shook his head and said, "It's hard for me to estimate this. After all, I've never seen such rosewood furniture before."
"Is this one of mine extra big?" Luo Zihao said with a beaming smile.
"Indeed!" He Qing nodded slightly, "It's a bit unrealistic."
Luo Zihao did not hear the implication of his words. He just said confidently: "This material is also the best red sandalwood. Brother X, let me tell you the truth, this desk cost a total of 80 million!"
"Eighty million?!" Hearing this, He Qing secretly gasped and sighed: "Eighty million? That's a sky-high price."
"The price is a bit high, but it's worth the money, maybe even more than the money spent!" Luo Zihao said confidently, "If it were sent to an international auction house, it would definitely sell for more than this price, right? Hundreds of millions would be a lot.
It's possible, after all, it's such a big piece of red sandalwood. It's unique!"
He Qing said: "Maybe. Brother Luo, according to what you said, there is nothing wrong with this piece of furniture. You should have consulted many experts before, right?
Luo Zihao nodded and said: "Well, I have asked many experts to look at it. They all think there is no problem, but I am not at ease, so I ask you to do the final appraisal. If you are also sure that there is no problem with this piece of rosewood, then I will
I feel completely relieved. But if there is any problem, it will be very troublesome when it is exhibited. Brother x. You have seen it now, is it okay?"
He Qing said solemnly: "Just looking at it, there is nothing wrong with the coating or the material, and the carving on it is also top-notch. From this look, the whole case is indeed exquisite and extraordinary.
!”
"Then I'll be relieved." Hearing what He Qing said, Luo Zihao breathed out softly, and he suddenly felt a little more at ease.
"Brother He, please sit down. Let's sit down and chat while drinking."
Later, Luo Zihao enthusiastically invited He Qing to take a seat.
So He Qing followed him and sat on the spotless antique chair next to the red sandalwood table. Then, Luo Zihao took out the wine glass and red wine from an antique cabinet and poured a glass for He Qing first.
"Brother He, this is also a very old French red wine. Please try it and see how it tastes." Luo Zihao handed the wine glass to He Qing and invited him to taste the wine.
He Qing did not drink immediately after taking it, but stared at the huge table next to him. Suddenly, he stretched out his right hand and gently rubbed a certain part of the edge of the table with his palm.
It turned out that there was a shallow gap there, as if it had been cut and scratched by a knife. After touching it for a while, He Qing picked up a handful of fine powder on his right finger.
"Brother Luo, these are red sandalwood chips, right?" He Qing raised his right hand and said to Luo Zihao.
"Yes!" Luo Zihao said with a heavy nod. He had a clear view of the scene where He Qing's right hand was rubbing against the table just now, and he knew what it was about.
He Qing chuckled, and then he sprinkled all the rosewood powder into the wine glass. Soon, the powder blended into the wine.
In the blink of an eye, it seemed that there was some kind of chemical reaction between the wine and the wine, and a stream of aura rose up from the wine glass. It was a purple aura.
Gradually, clouds and mist appeared above the mouth of the wine glass, and the purple air filled the air.
"The handful I just grabbed is indeed the best red sandalwood powder!" Seeing that rather magical scene, He Qing concluded, "Isn't this the case of the 'purple energy coming from the east' of the red sandalwood?"
"Yes!" Luo Zihao nodded hurriedly, "Brother He, you are so awesome! You made a judgment all at once! Do you know?! The reason why I decided to buy that friend's red sandalwood piece at a high price was
Wood is the reason for this identification. The place where you grabbed the red sandalwood powder just now is the place where I used a blade to scrape the red sandalwood wood. I scraped a little of the red sandalwood powder and put it into the alcohol, and immediately 'purple air came from the east'. Look.
At this point, I’m sure! This is the most direct and fundamental way to judge a piece of rosewood, right?”
He Qing nodded and said: "This method can indeed be used, but it is not omnipotent. Brother Luo, there are still many situations where this identification method alone cannot be relied upon."
"What do you mean?" Luo Zihao seemed to understand something from He Qing's words. He couldn't help but frown slightly and his expression changed slightly.
He Qing said seriously: "What I mean is that identifying antiques is a very rigorous matter. You cannot look at the problem one-sidedly. That would be too arbitrary and it would be easy for people to take advantage of loopholes."
"Brother He, do you see something going wrong?" Hearing what He Qing said was a little off, Luo Zihao suddenly became nervous and said quickly, "If you see something going on, then please just say it.
, It doesn’t matter, I invited you here just to hear your opinion. I have to make this exhibition foolproof, otherwise my reputation may be ruined!”
He Qing stared at the table and pondered for a moment, then turned back to Luo Zihao and said with regret: "Brother, since you value this exhibition so much and are afraid of something going wrong, I suggest you not to put this thing away.
Take it to an exhibition."
"Why?! This...is something wrong with this red sandalwood?!" Luo Zihao suddenly widened his eyes and asked in horror.
He Qing hesitated for a while, but finally nodded and said: "Brother Luo, I'm sorry, but I have to say that your 'No. 1 case in the world' is wrong. It is a forgery, but this imitation case
Tasting things is no small matter!"
As soon as these words came out, Luo Zihao suddenly felt like a deflated rubber ball. His body suddenly went limp and he shouted: "It's terrible! I'm in the eye!!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come.
