Chapter 875: Nation (1)
"Xiao Rui, you... do you think this porcelain is real or fake?"
Far away at Zhuang Rui's home in Beijing, even though it was still winter in February, Qin Haoran was still sweating on his forehead. Although the $50 million had not been taken seriously by him, it was a bet related to the dignity of the country.
Therefore, this porcelain appraisal has risen to several levels. It is not only an academic exchange, but also a collision between the civilizations of two countries. This has made many people who were originally indifferent to collection sit on the TV.
beside.
"It must be fake, dad. Do you believe that Japan could produce such exquisite porcelain 1,000 years ago?"
Zhuang Rui smiled and replied that he did not intend to make the matter such a big deal. Anyone who allows the island country to take advantage of it will surely suffer the consequences.
"But..." Qin Haoran was still a little worried.
"There's nothing to worry about, brat, how can there be so many problems? Look, it's about to start..."
Mr. Qin was much calmer than his son. He was teasing his granddaughter in his arms while scolding Qin Haoran.
Several people's eyes returned to the TV screen. Zhuang Rui saw that the security guards at the conference venue had isolated an open space of ten square meters, and the two pieces of porcelain were placed on a table in the open space.
Although he firmly believed that Zhuang Rui would not lie to him, Professor Tian felt a little nervous on this occasion. The "ancient porcelain" incident that had been raging for more than a month was coming to an end today.
"Professor Tian, please..."
Yamaki took a step back and made a gesture to Tian Fan. In his opinion, the Chinese people's actions must be in vain, and his name will be resounding throughout Japan after today.
There was a staff member nearby who handed over an electrician's hammer, which he had just found. After taking the hammer, Professor Tian took a deep breath and said, "In order to allow everyone to understand more intuitively, these four artifacts
Made by one person, I think, starting from the porcelain I brought..."
"It will be all right……"
Shan Mu waved his hand indifferently, "It's your right to smash your own things, but if you want to smash mine later, you have to be mentally prepared for the $50 million to change hands."
"Professor Tian, there is no precedent for smashing objects to identify works of art. Are you sure?"
A female reporter held a long microphone and handed it to Professor Tian from the security guard's side. This was the first reporter's question during today's news release.
"I still said what I said just now. What is true cannot be false, and what is false cannot be true. Whether it is true or false, you will know immediately. Facts speak louder than words. You will know when these porcelains are broken open..."
Professor Tian is also a little helpless. Using this method to identify objects is a sign of incompetence on the part of the appraiser. Professor Tian’s move is just to rush the market. You can’t just be humiliated by the island country like this, right?
At the same time, Professor Tian also deeply admired this counterfeiter. He could imitate the fakes so closely in appearance and spirit that even national-level craftsmen could not compare with them.
It has become a system.
After answering the female reporter's question, Professor Tian picked up the hammer in his hand, walked to the table, and raised the hammer high towards the artifact sent by Peng Fei.
At this moment, both the people at the press conference and those watching in front of the TV held their breaths and stared at the hammer raised high.
"Snapped!"
A crisp sound was amplified by the excellent sound effects at the scene. The sound seemed to hit everyone's fragile hearts, making everyone's body tremble slightly.
Turning his eyes back to the porcelain, the square surface of the porcelain had been smashed, revealing a black hole as big as a baby's fist. The camera took a close-up view of the black hole, but could not yet see what was going on inside.
"Pah...pah!"
The sound of the collision of the hammer and the porcelain was heard continuously. When Professor Tian hit the fifth hammer, the square porcelain finally disintegrated, and the scattered broken porcelain was irregularly distributed on the table.
Because the outside was blocked by security guards, only Professor Tian and Yamaki who were standing in front of the broken porcelain dropped their hammers casually, and Professor Tian started to pick up the pieces of broken porcelain.
This artifact was not big to begin with, but after just a few dozen seconds, Professor Tian raised his head with a happy face, holding a palm-sized piece of porcelain in his hand, with the inner wall facing outward, displayed in front of all the cameras.
"Xu, November 12, 2006..."
Under the camera's high-magnification close-up view, the above line of characters slightly larger than a grain of rice was clearly transmitted to the audience watching this press conference around the world.
"Fake, this is fake..." someone shouted at the scene.
"Nonsense, of course it's false. Professor Tian brought this..." Another reporter glanced disdainfully at the rookie colleague next to him. What was this kid thinking?
"How...how is this possible?"
Standing next to Professor Tian, Shan Mu could clearly see the small words on the inner wall of the broken porcelain even without a magnifying glass. He couldn't help but feel a little dazed. He had an extremely ominous premonition.
At this moment, Shanmu even wanted to stop Professor Tian from breaking the porcelain. He was afraid.
Yehe saw Shanmu looking a little lost. He walked to him and said in Shanmu's ear: "Shanmu, that is a fake in itself. The carving on the inner wall is not a sophisticated technology. You have to believe in science. Let's
These two pieces of porcelain have been tested by carbon 14..."
"Haha! Thank you Nohe-kun for reminding me, it was my fault..."
Yamaki lowered his head sharply and bowed to Noai. He also felt that he had lost his temper just now. Now he was facing TV audiences from all over Japan and even the world, and he was representing the image of Japan.
"What I want to smash next is the same piece of porcelain. Everyone can see clearly..."
Shanmu's mood, which had just calmed down, suddenly became tense again due to Professor Tian's words, because the porcelain he was going to smash now would be the royal porcelain he bought from China.
The broken piece of porcelain just now was put away in a basket by the staff. When there was no more broken piece of porcelain on the table, Professor Tian raised the hammer to another piece of the same porcelain.
"Pah...pah..."
As Professor Tian's hammer rose and fell, the exquisite piece of porcelain turned into a pile of broken porcelain in an instant. The hearts of everyone in the venue were almost in their throats, and their eyes were fixed on Professor Tian's eyes motionlessly.
hands.
Professor Tian was also extremely nervous now. When his hands with white gloves appeared in the camera lens, they were trembling very obviously. Everyone could see that Professor Tian's heart was not as relaxed as he appeared on the outside.
Suddenly, Professor Tian's hand stopped, and a gleam came out of his eyes under the thick lenses, and his lips trembled unconsciously. A piece of broken porcelain, only the size of a baby's palm, was tightly held in Professor Tian's hand.
inside.
"Blood, bleeding..."
"Professor Tian, your hand is bleeding..."
In his excitement, Professor Tian didn't notice that the sharp porcelain fragment had scratched his palm, and a stream of blood flowed out from between his fingers, staining the broken porcelain red.
"I found it... I found it..."
Professor Tian didn't pay any attention to the blood in his hands. His lips moved and he made a sound that only he could hear.
You must know that Professor Tian was under indescribable pressure during the process of deciding to identify the broken porcelain. If no clues can be found in these two pieces of porcelain, then not only him, but also the entire Chinese academic community will be ridiculed by the world.
of.
Of course, this situation no longer exists, because the inner wall of the porcelain piece in Professor Tian's hand is cleanly engraved with the words "Xu, April 4, 2006".
"Professor Tian, what are you talking about? Can you show us the porcelain piece in your hand?" Seeing Professor Tian's excitement, everyone realized that the results were finally out.
Shan Mu, who was standing aside, had a gray complexion. He could feel that the abnormal development was not as he expected. The thing in Professor Tian's hand must be detrimental to him.
"Look, this is the evidence. I feel extremely indignant at the despicable behavior of the Japanese ceramics academic community!"
The reporter's words woke up Professor Tian. Tian Fan opened his hand, pinched the porcelain piece with two bloody fingers, and showed the words on the porcelain piece in front of the cameras in the audience.
