When he approached Mr. Li again, He Qing's attention was focused on the strong glow emanating from the other party. Of course, the glow was the "Golden Rooster Diamond" that Mr. Li carried with him. The diamond has a lot of history.
He Qing was naturally very concerned about China's humiliating period of the Anti-Japanese War.
"Brother He, it's such an honor to invite such a busy man like you here!" After inviting He Qing and Lin Haitao to sit down and serving hot tea, Mr. Li said with a smile, acting particularly enthusiastic and polite.
He Qing shook his head and smiled: "Mr. Li, you are too polite. In fact, this is just a small matter, nothing serious."
Mr. Li hurriedly said: "It's a small thing for you, but it's a big thing for me. Brother He, I really admire you. You have such a good eye and can spot all kinds of antiques."
, unlike those of us who are not familiar with the industry, we are blind and cannot see many things well. I am very
I believe in your eyesight, so I specially invited you here today. I want you to help me palm my eyes and look at a few things. Haha, but don’t worry, let’s have something to eat first. You two brothers, these are distinguished guests, what do you think?
Just order whatever you want to eat, I will be the host today and treat you to a good meal."
He Qing shook his head and said: "We ate something before we came here, so we are not very hungry yet. Mr. Li, let's just take a look. If you have any questions, just ask. As long as you know something, I will tell you."
If he wanted to get closer to Mr. Li and gain his trust, he would naturally have to get close to him, and He Qing knew in his heart that the other party was eager to ask him to appraise a batch of antiques. After helping Mr. Li, he naturally drew closer to him.
distance between.
"Brother He, you are such a cheerful person. I particularly appreciate young people like this!" Hearing what He Qing said, Mr. Li laughed and said happily, "I am determined to be your friend!"
"It's a great honor for me to be able to make friends with such a big shot as Mr. Li!" He Qing said solemnly. He was waiting for Mr. Li's words. He knew after hearing what the other person said that he had completely relaxed.
I lost my vigilance and no longer had any sense of precaution against him.
"Where? It's my honor!" Mr. Li's face was full of smiles. He immediately raised the glass filled with red wine excitedly and toasted He Qing first.
After the two drank a glass of wine, they got down to business. He Qing asked: "Mr. Li, I don't know what kind of treasures you have received in your hands?"
"The things look good, but I don't know if they are real treasures." Mr. Li said, "It is a batch of porcelain, official kiln porcelain from the Qing Dynasty. I got it from an old friend."
"Is it the porcelain from the official kiln of the Qing Dynasty?" He Qing showed a hint of surprise and said, "That's amazing! The official kiln of the Qing Dynasty. Whether it is pastel porcelain or enamel, it is a national treasure and priceless.
, this can be seen from the sky-high transaction records of pastel porcelain and enamel porcelain at international auctions over the years.”
What he said is true. The pastel porcelain and enamel porcelain of the Qing Dynasty are unique and extremely precious.
He Qing had also gotten a few pieces before this. He was reluctant to sell them. After all, those porcelains were very rare. When he wanted to collect them, he might not be able to get what he wanted no matter how high the price was.
"Brother He, you're flattered." Mr. Li shook his head and said with a smile, "I still don't know what the condition of those pieces of porcelain is. We are not in the industry and are too blind, so we can't be sure. But fortunately, I have the honor to treat you like this today.
I have invited an expert to come, and we can confirm it later."
He Qing said: "I'll do my best. Mr. Li, where is that batch of porcelain? Isn't it convenient for us to take it out now to open our eyes?"
Although the items belonged to the "hidden" Japanese in front of them, He Qing and Lin Haitao were somewhat curious and wanted to confirm whether the batch of porcelain in Mr. Li's hands belonged to the officials of the Qing Dynasty.
Kiln porcelain.
Mr. Li replied: "The porcelain is in my room now. I'll ask someone to move it out of the guest room right away."
"No, I mean don't go to such trouble." He Qing shook his head and said, "The porcelain is in the guest room, so let's go directly to the room to see it. I just don't know if that will be inconvenient for you."
"What's the inconvenience?" Mr. Li quickly shook his head and replied, "That's what I want. I'm just worried that it will be inconvenient for you, so I'm bothering you! Since it's convenient for you to go to the guest room where I live, that would be great."
"Well, that's good." He Qing said happily.
He said that deliberately, because if you go to the room where Mr. Li lives, you will be one step closer to him. As the saying goes, "Know yourself and the enemy, and you will be victorious in every battle." The more you know about Mr. Li, the better your understanding of their "capture" this time.
"Operation Bao" will be more beneficial.
"Brother He, please invite those two." Later, Mr. Li enthusiastically invited He Qing and Lin Haitao to his room.
Soon, He Qing and the others were led to a guest room upstairs under the eager guidance of Mr. Li.
This should be the most luxurious room in this five-star hotel. The decoration inside is extremely luxurious and gorgeous, and it can be regarded as the legendary "Presidential Suite".
The moment he walked into the room, He Qing cheered up. He carefully observed the scene around him to see if there was any Baoguang in the room and how dense it was.
"Hey, that's weird!" Then, He Qing couldn't help but be surprised, because he found out strangely that although the room was shrouded in a chaotic red light, the light seemed lighter and not very conspicuous.
From this, He Qing was able to basically make a judgment. Although Mr. Li had a collection of antiques in his room, those items were mediocre and not like big treasures. At least, they did not contain treasure-level ancient porcelain like sky-high-priced enamel porcelain.
"What he collected is just a batch of fakes, right?" He Qing thought to himself.
After learning about this situation, he was both disappointed and a little happy, and his mood was quite contradictory.
What disappointed him was that he could no longer see the good things. What made him happy was that the good things did not belong to Mr. Li, the hypocritical Japanese next to him.
At this moment, in addition to Mr. Li and He Qing, there are several other people in the room. Those people, He Qing and the others all know each other. They are the same men who were with Mr. Li on the antique street yesterday afternoon.
At that time, they were bullying others and were very arrogant and bossy in front of He Qing. But now when they saw He Qing again, they all looked respectful and had no temper at all. After all, He Qing was invited by Mr. Li.
The distinguished guests who came here were enigmatic appraisers, how could they dare to treat them rudely?
"Brother He, please take a seat, please. Things are ready. Bring them out immediately to invite the two palm eyes." Walking in, Mr. Li very politely invited He Qing and He Qing to take a seat and asked someone to serve tea.
"Well, there's no rush." He Qing nodded.
After sitting down and chatting with He Qing for a while, Mr. Li asked someone to move the things out of the bedroom one by one and put them on the coffee table for He Qing and Lin Haitao to appreciate and appraise.
As soon as he saw the batch of porcelain, Lin Haitao's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but secretly admired: "It's so beautiful!"
He Qing naturally noticed that the pieces of porcelain that Mr. Li brought out for him to appraise were all "important items" and each one looked so bright, dazzling, dignified and elegant.
"Brother He, the pieces of porcelain I told you are all here." Mr. Li pointed at the pile of porcelain and said with joy, "How do you feel? There are eight pieces in total, four pieces of pastel porcelain and four pieces of enamel color porcelain.
, each piece is a big one. To tell you the truth, I spent a lot of money to get this batch of porcelain as soon as possible, and each piece was bought with a lot of money!"
He Qing stood up, walked around the batch of porcelain, and carefully inspected it from all directions.
After reading it, he stopped beside Mr. Li and nodded thoughtfully.
"Brother He, how are you? Are you sure?" Mr. Li asked eagerly.
"Well, not bad!" He Qing replied in a deep voice, "It's rare to see such beautiful Qing Dynasty porcelain. Mr. Li, these eight pieces of porcelain are all very beautiful!"
Hearing what He Qing said solemnly, Mr. Li was pleasantly surprised and laughed loudly and asked: "Really?! Brother He, you really think it's good?!"
He Qing nodded vigorously and said: "Well, not bad! It's a rare sight!"
He expressed his praise again.
Mr. Li breathed a long sigh of relief and said with great joy: "I feel relieved to hear you say that! Brother He, thank you so much!"
"Haha, you're welcome, I'm just telling the truth." He Qing laughed and said, that smile was meaningful, but Mr. Li didn't see anything.
"Mr. Li, look, let's talk about this large pastel vase first." He Qing suddenly pointed to one of the porcelains and said, "The workmanship is so exquisite, from the glaze color to the decoration, it is impeccable, but... I always feel that
Something’s wrong!”
As he spoke, he shook his head and frowned slightly, his expression clearly showing disappointment.
"Something's wrong?! What's wrong?!" Mr. Li stood up in surprise, his face suddenly changed, and he looked very surprised.
"Well, something's not quite right." He Qing nodded heavily, "Mr. Li, there's something fishy about these things."
"What's the trick?!" Mr. Li asked in a trembling voice, "Brother He, don't scare me! Didn't you just say that these things are very beautiful and rare to see?!"
He Qing said seriously: "Yes, I said so. This batch of porcelain is indeed exquisitely made, but porcelain that is too beautifully made does not mean that it is porcelain from a certain period of ancient times. Now there are many porcelains in the industry.
The craftsmanship of the master is very exquisite, and the things he makes are so lifelike that it is difficult for you to tell the authenticity from the fake! Mr. Li, I regret to tell you that this batch of porcelain is not the official kiln porcelain of the Qing Dynasty. If my guess is correct, it should be
A batch of high imitations.”
"High imitation?! These are all imitations?!" Hearing this, Mr. Li was shocked, and then his legs became weak. He staggered and almost fell down.
