When He Qing told the truth in a dramatic turn, Mr. Li was shocked, and his face instantly turned pale and colorless.
"Mr. Li, are you okay?" Seeing that Mr. Li was shaking and shaky, He Qing reached out to help him. Fortunately, he took action in time, otherwise Mr. Li might have fallen.
At this moment, Mr. Li's chest was heaving violently, his face was like gold paper, and he was extremely ugly.
"Mr. Li, take the medicine quickly!" At this time, one of Mr. Li's assistants rushed over. With the help of He Qing, he helped Mr. Li sit down and fed him a medicine.
Although he did not ask about Mr. Ming Li's condition, He Qing had already known by observing his complexion that Mr. Li was a patient and had heart disease.
After taking the medicine, the panting Mr. Li's breathing gradually calmed down and his complexion improved slightly.
Seeing this, He Qing and Lin Haitao glanced at each other subconsciously, feeling "gloating" in their hearts.
Everyone could see that although Mr. Li was very rich, he was extremely stingy and a complete miser. When he suddenly heard the news, it was like a bolt from the blue, which made him extremely shocked and angry.
"Mr. Li, are you feeling better?" He Qing asked after Mr. Li's face recovered, looking very concerned on the surface.
Mr. Li nodded lightly, but said nothing for a while.
He Qing sighed solemnly, shook his head and said, "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have told you the real situation. I almost shocked you. But I'm relieved that you're fine."
Mr. Li quickly shook his head and said in a low voice: "Brother He, I can't blame you. I asked you to do the appraisal. What I want is the truth. But... you read that right? I received this
All porcelain from official kilns in the Qing Dynasty are fake?! None of them are genuine?!"
He Qing looked at Mr. Li seriously, nodded solemnly, and replied: "Yes. That's the fact. Why should I call the truth a lie? Of course, this thing is in the eyes of the beholder.
Maybe I’m blind and I’m wrong. But in my opinion, that’s the situation, no doubt!”
"Why?" After listening to He Qing's explanation, Mr. Li's face gradually turned ugly. Then he stood up unsteadily, walked a few steps, pointed at the batch of exquisite porcelain and said, "
Brother He. Since you said these porcelains are all fakes, then please tell me what is wrong with such beautiful, flawless porcelain?!"
His tone was very exciting. Although he believed in He Qing's vision, he could not accept the fact before him. A batch of official kiln porcelain that he had paid a high price for was completely destroyed and turned out to be imitations.
If other ordinary experts made such an appraisal, Mr. Li would definitely be furious and argue with him. Because this seems to him to be completely unreasonable, but the person who is doing the appraisal for him now is not an ordinary appraisal.
The teacher is a young genius treasure appraiser who is extremely authoritative in the antique industry, so he is not only shocked, but at most hesitant to believe it.
If the other party cannot produce convincing evidence, then the judgment is unfounded and you don’t believe it.
He Qing shook his head with a wry smile and said helplessly: "Mr. Li, I don't dare to do anything in front of a big collector like you. But I won't say such things without complete evidence. Mr. Li, let me ask you a question.
"
"What?" Mr. Li frowned, "You ask."
He Qing asked: "I wonder if you have heard about 'Zhu Fang'?"
"'Zhu Fang'?! You said this is 'Zhu Fang'?!" As soon as He Qing finished speaking, Mr. Li was startled, and his expression suddenly became frightened. It was obvious that he knew about Zhu Fang.
"I'm afraid so." He Qing nodded.
"How is that possible?!" Mr. Li shook his head repeatedly, "This is handed down from my ancestors and is a family heirloom. It can't be Zhu Fang, right?!"
Hearing this, He Qing chuckled and said: "Mr. Li, in the antique industry, there are so many people who can tell stories. Any item can be touted as a family heirloom, let alone something so beautifully made.
What about the porcelain? The reason why it is so exquisite and flawless is that it is most likely a Zhu imitation. Mr. Li, you should know that Zhu imitation is the most famous type of high imitation.
Distinguish.”
"Well, I know." Mr. Li nodded blankly and said, "But how did you know that it is 'Zhu Fang'?!"
He Qing replied: "I have my own evidence for this."
"Where?!" Mr. Li asked anxiously.
He Qing said calmly: "Don't be anxious, just listen to me slowly."
"Well, you go ahead." Mr. Li said patiently.
He Qing pointed to one of the large pastel bottles and explained in detail: "Look at this pastel bottle, how perfect it is. Whether it is the shape, glaze color, or even the decoration, it is all so exquisite. There is no trace of it.
Flaws! But I don’t know if you have seen the same large bottle. I am talking about the authentic pastel large bottle. If you compare the two carefully, there is still a certain difference. To be honest, the original one is not so perfect. This is also the way to identify imitations.
A trick."
"I haven't seen it before, and I don't have much research on it." Mr. Li shook his head and said, "But I have asked many experts to appraise this batch of porcelain. They should have in-depth research on such authentic large pastel bottles, right?"
He Qing smiled slightly, shook his head and said: "That's not necessarily true. Maybe they are only studying high imitations, and the appearance of pastel bottles only exists in the imagination. Mr. Li, if you have never seen a real pastel bottle,
I can take out the large colorful vase and give it to you, and then you can compare it."
"You have a large pastel bottle?!" Mr. Li said in surprise.
Lin Haitao, who had been standing quietly aside, suddenly laughed loudly and said: "Mr. Li, of course, my brother is one of the most famous collectors in the industry. He has collected countless treasures, not to mention...
It’s just a piece of pastel porcelain, which is fine porcelain from various dynasties. He has collected almost all of them, so he has no problem looking at anything!"
He Qing hurriedly shook his hand and said modestly: "Haitao, you are exaggerating. I am just an ordinary antique lover."
"No." Lin Haitao shook his head solemnly, "I told the truth."
What he said is indeed true. Today, He Qing is a veritable big collector, with countless treasures in his hands, including pastel porcelain, otherwise he would not say such "big words".
"It's because I'm blind!" Mr. Li said with an embarrassed smile, "Brother He is a master in this industry. It's normal to have such a large pastel bottle in your hand. If you have the chance, you must appreciate it and open your eyes.
But Brother He, you said that this batch of porcelain of mine is fake, is there no other reason besides that reason?"
He was still full of doubts. If the evidence He Qing could produce was nothing more than this, how could it be convincing?
Mr. Li certainly hoped that He Qing could not produce conclusive evidence, so that he would still have hope, otherwise it would make people despair.
"Yes, of course!" Unexpectedly, He Qing quickly nodded vigorously.
"What evidence?" Mr. Li asked tremblingly, with a nervous look on his face.
He Qing said: "Let's take a look at this piece of pastel porcelain. First of all, I only saw one such porcelain here, not another one. This is called a large pastel vase, and its full name should be 'Qing Dynasty'
"Large pastel vase with dragon and phoenix patterns" originally came as a pair, yours has a dragon pattern, and the other one has a phoenix pattern. Sets of porcelain like this usually appear together. If you don't get a pair, then
You have to think carefully about it.”
"So that's it, I've learned a lesson!" Mr. Li suddenly realized, "What else is there?"
"One more thing," He Qing said, "Bring a magnifying glass, one with a larger magnification."
"Yes, I understand." Mr. Li nodded in agreement, and then asked his assistant to get a magnifying glass.
After a while, someone brought out an exquisite high-power magnifying glass, and Mr. Li handed it to He Qing.
He Qing took it, then picked up the magnifying glass and looked over the porcelain, as if looking for something.
"Found it!"
Not long after, He Qing exclaimed.
"What did you find?!" Mr. Li said in surprise and quickly stretched his neck to take a closer look.
He Qing handed the magnifying glass back to Mr. Li and said, "Mr. Li, see for yourself. Pay attention to this place, which is the dragon pattern eye area."
"What's there?" Mr. Li asked.
He Qing said: "You will know when you see it."
Mr. Li's hand holding the magnifying glass trembled slightly, and he slowly moved closer to take a look in the direction pointed by He Qing.
I don't know how long it took, but through the lens of the magnifying glass, I could vaguely see two small plum blossom-shaped seal characters on the longan, which said "Zhu Fang".
Anyone with a discerning eye will know what this means at a glance. No matter how bad Mr. Li is, he is not a fool. How could he not see it?
"Ouch~~"
After seeing it clearly and confirming it, Mr. Li suddenly slapped his forehead and let out a scream.
"Brother He, you are such a god!" Then he turned back and looked at He Qing with an expression of disbelief. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes today, he would never have believed that there were young people with such good vision in the world.
One look at the porcelain will tell you what the problem is.
He Qing shook his head and said, "Mr. Li, you've given me a compliment. I just happened to see it."
Mr. Li put down his magnifying glass, sat down slumped, and said with a sigh: "It was a big loss this time. Everything worth tens of millions was lost in the blink of an eye!"
He Qing consoled him: "Mr. Li, don't be too sad. That's how it is in the antique business. When there are mistakes, there are also mistakes."
Mr. Li shook his head and said: "It's not that simple to pick up the leaks. Not everyone has your good eyesight, and not everyone can learn to this level."
He Qing comforted him for a while, and after a while, Mr. Li came to his senses and felt a little better.
"Mr. Li, I have a heartfelt request."
Later, He Qing suddenly straightened his expression and said, as if he had something important to discuss with Mr. Li.
