"Miss, if you still have questions, please take this bracelet and go to the National Jade Testing Center at No. xx, xx Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing, for appraisal. I can ask them to authenticate it for you for free..."
Facts speak louder than words. After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, the woman showed a look of shame and distress on her face. She was ashamed because she just said something hurtful, but this young man slapped her with the facts. Naturally, she felt distressed because she bought the bracelet.
Thirty thousand yuan.
"Teacher Zhuang, I'm sorry... I'm really sorry for you..." The woman took back the bracelet in embarrassment, bent down and bowed like Zhuang Rui, and hurriedly walked off the stage and disappeared into the crowd.
Zhuang Rui stood up and said to everyone who saw this scene: "Dear friends and fellow collectors, you come here to participate in this event, naturally you hope that your treasures are real.
However, although our country has a long history and has many good items left behind, for today's collectors, there are very few. It is normal to buy fakes in the antique market and it is not a shame.
The thing is, even those of us have had the experience of paying tuition in a blink of an eye.
We hope that collectors can correct their mentality, take the identification results seriously, and do not doubt our professional knowledge just because the items are fake. We will also use our professional knowledge to help everyone identify the authenticity of the objects in their hands.
As for antiques that we cannot distinguish between genuine and fake, we will tell the truth and let collectors do further testing. Please believe in our professional ethics and will never describe fakes as real, nor will we be arbitrary.
To judge whether a real antique is fake, that’s all I have to say, thank you all!”
After Zhuang Rui finished speaking, he bowed deeply to the audience. Everyone in the audience was thinking about his words. After more than a minute, I don't know who was the first to applaud. Suddenly, the conference room
The applause was like thunder and could not stop for a long time.
Most people have this kind of mentality, that is, things are their own. They can say bad things, but they cannot listen to others.
For example, it's like a friend complaining all day long that his child is naughty and ignorant. If he says it's okay, if you echo him: "Yes, your son is really ignorant." You'll be fine with that, even if you don't.
If your friend doesn't break off the relationship with you, I'm afraid he will alienate you in the future.
The same goes for antiques. Who doesn’t want the antiques they spend money to buy to be real? But after all, there are hundreds or tens of millions of times more fake antiques in this world than real ones. Naturally, the chance of buying a fake is higher than that of buying a fake one.
There is a chance of getting the treasure. Zhuang Rui's words also reminded those people in the field not to be too persistent.
Although there are many speculators among collectors now, compared with a few years later, they are relatively more rational. After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, these people also learned something.
The thunderous applause lasted for more than three minutes before slowly stopping under the intervention of the host. However, the eyes of everyone in the audience looking at Zhuang Rui were full of admiration.
Although the host said that the Tibetan friends at the back could not conduct appraisals today, none of the people gathered outside left. After all, watching here can also gain a lot of knowledge.
Zhuang Rui didn't know that after this program was broadcast, he also made a name for himself in the domestic antique shops. At least many collectors recognized Zhuang Rui as an expert in their hearts. Of course
, these are all things for later.
…
After the applause stopped, Liu Jia from Beijing TV station held the microphone and said: "Dear guests and friends, the experts have been conducting appraisals for two consecutive hours. Please leave and rest for half an hour, and then continue to appraise your hands.
The treasure..."
The voice of the male host of Shandong TV station rang out immediately: "My friends at the back of the queue will definitely not be able to conduct on-site treasure appraisal today. At eight o'clock tomorrow morning, the experts from the Beijing expert group will continue to conduct the treasure appraisal for everyone."
Treasure Appraisal Activity.”
After the host finished speaking, a staff member came over to lead Zhuang Rui and others to a nearby lounge. Zhuang Rui was okay and only identified two or three objects, but the other few people were very similar. Fatty Jin was there.
In the air-conditioned conference room, Busy's gown was almost soaked with sweat.
"Xiao Zhuang, that's good. You have solid basic knowledge and strong adaptability. Even if you go out alone, you can still control the situation." After arriving in the lounge, Fatty Jin wiped his sweat and gave Zhuang Rui a thumbs up.
They often encounter situations like this today. Even if Zhuang Rui doesn't come out, there is still a solution.
"Teacher Jin, have you encountered this kind of situation before?"
"Hey, there are many such things, but they are all caused by human factors. In our circle, there are also some people who cheat for a few dollars..."
After hearing Fatty Jin's explanation, Zhuang Rui finally understood. It turned out that with the rise of collecting craze, the appraisal industry has also increased. As a result, various folk cultural relic appraisal institutions have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
Some of these organizations and personnel under the banner of "xx Committee" and "xx Association" are old academics who "cannot connect theory with practice", some are antique experts who "have no theoretical basis in practice", and most of them are as long as they are willing to pay.
Just give it to the "nice gentleman" who issued the certificate.
Just as Pacific Western University has ruined the reputation of many formal universities in the United States, various certificates in the antique industry have made the antique market, which already has a tradition of fraud, even more "squandering and increasingly attractive." "Fake is not necessarily fake, genuine is
It is not necessarily true.” It is these various appraisal agencies that stir up this muddy water.
Fatty Jin took a sip of water and said with a smile: "What needs appraisal most now is actually not the antiques that ordinary people have on hand, but the "experts" who issue certificates for these antiques. We are all in the anti-counterfeiting ranks...
…”.
Zhuang Rui was dumbfounded by what Fatty Jin said. According to this, experts who appraise antiques also need to issue a certificate "certifying that the expert is authentic"?
However, after Jing Jin Fatty said this, Zhuang Rui's resentment in his heart was much lessened. The appraisal market was mixed, so it was no wonder that those collectors were distrustful.
In fact, Zhuang Rui's hair-burning performance just now was a bit tricky. He wrapped his hair around the glass. If it was wrapped a little tighter, it would not burn out in a second or two. Some businesses will use this trick.
To deceive consumers, but if it is burned for a little longer, the authenticity can still be distinguished, so it is still feasible to use this method to identify the authenticity of jade.
"Xiaozhuang, your brother Ma, who studied at Zhonghai, should be familiar with porcelain, right? Looking back at the items here, help me take a look. There are too many things today, and I am a bit overwhelmed...
"
Researcher Tian Fan from the Palace Museum was very tired now. He rested on the sofa for a while before he recovered. Today, in addition to calligraphy and paintings, there were a lot of ceramic antiques.
, Of course, most things can only be called modern handicrafts. Tian Fan has just looked at twenty or thirty porcelains, and only one vase from the Daoguang period is authentic, but it is somewhat incomplete, and the market price is also greatly reduced.
Uncle Zhongde's porcelain restoration is very famous in China. He also has his own uniqueness in appreciating ceramics. That's why Tian Fancai asked Zhuang Rui to help him look at some objects. Obviously, Zhuang Rui
With his own actions, he has won the real recognition of these experts.
The half-hour break was very short. It was basically just for drinking water and chatting for a few days. A staff member came out to urge the experts. The experts could only appear again. Although the experts were not introduced again this time,
When Zhuang Rui appeared on the stage, he received warm applause for a long time.
Zhuang Rui, who was originally the most idle person on the stage, became the busiest person after the second wave of treasure appraisal began. I don’t know where these jade holders were hiding just now, but now they are popping up one after another.
All kinds of exquisite jade articles emerge in endlessly, some of which are exquisite.
Like a white jade wrench from the Qing Dynasty, it is very expensive. This thing was originally a tool used to buckle the string when pulling a bow and shooting arrows. It was put on the shooter's right thumb to protect the shooter's right thumb from being strangled by the bowstring. Later, it was
But it is regarded as a status symbol.
Although the spiritual energy inside this ring is white, it is very strong, and the jade quality is also high-quality white jade. After Zhuang Rui identified it as genuine, General Manager Qian also gave 300,000 RMB based on the market trend of similar antiques.
s price.
Seeing that the object was authentic and valuable, everyone in the audience was excited, making Zhuang Rui even busier. However, as long as you know the authenticity of antiques in advance, you can always tell some truth.
Come.
Zhuang Rui first used his spiritual energy to identify the authenticity. If it was rich in spiritual energy, he would give it to Qian Zong to appraise and issue a certificate. If it was an object lacking in spiritual energy, he would just point out some faults and talk to the treasure holder. The other party would also be convinced. In comparison,
Next, although Zhuang Rui is surrounded by the most people, he is the fastest one in appraising treasures.
As time went by, the private treasure appraisal activity this afternoon gradually came to an end. However, the host did not announce the end of the treasure appraisal activity. No one left the collectors at the scene, but more and more people gathered together.
Suddenly, Tian Fan, who was appraising the ceramics, said: "Guys, please put down the objects on your hands and let's take a look at this thing."
Although they are specialized in art, these experts still have some understanding of antiques outside their majors, and they can also give some opinions to each other. Since Tian Fan has asked for advice, it is obvious that this thing is interesting. Zhuang
Rui and others put down what they were doing and looked at him.
