Wu Xiaoli's card had been put into the POS machine, and she was waiting for her to enter the password. Li Yang suddenly called out and shook his head at Wu Xiaoli.
What a risk. Fortunately, Li Yang is used to using his special abilities to finally verify what he has seen, otherwise Wu Xiaoli would have had to pick up fakes this time.
This blue and white dish that looks very much like the Qianlong folk kiln has only a light yellow aperture. Judging from the aperture alone, it is definitely made in modern times and is definitely not something from the Qianlong dynasty.
"What's wrong, Li Yang?" Wu Xiaoli glanced at Li Yang doubtfully, not understanding why he stopped her.
Li Yang picked up the plate on the counter and flipped it up and down: "Let me take another look. This thing looks a bit strange to me!"
Hearing what Li Yang said, Wu Xiaoli, who wanted to pay, temporarily took the card over. The waiter was in a hurry and there was nothing he could do. He couldn't force Wu Xiaoli's card to be wiped out. It was normal for the customer to want to check it again.
At this moment, the waiter secretly cursed Li Yang, who is causing trouble? His bonus for selling this plate is several thousand, and the bonus that he was about to receive is now mysterious.
For people who deal in antiques, anything can happen if they don't have money.
"Xiao Li, the blue and white on this plate are really nice, but don't you think the tread patterns are a bit strange?"
Li Yang turned over the edge of the plate, pointed at the ribs on it and said to Wu Xiaoli. Wu Xiaoli took the plate and looked at it carefully, her expression immediately changed.
There is something wrong with the tread pattern on the tire rim.
The normal blue and white tread should be heavy, gray in color, and have a sense of historical vicissitudes, but the tread on this plate is very white. It is impossible for a plate that has passed through hundreds of years to be like this.
If there is something wrong with the tire pattern, it proves that there is something wrong with the plate. Wu Xiaoli's heart beat suddenly. She just focused on the pattern, the color of the blue and white and the quality of the tire, ignoring this small detail. Now that she sees this flaw, Wu Xiaoli
Already understood that she just had her eyes checked and almost bought a fake.
There is a saying in the antique world that any fake thing will have loopholes. It depends on whether you can find the loopholes. This blue and white plate is very authentic. The blue and white imitation is almost exactly the same as the Qianlong original. The blue and white are made perfectly, but the tread pattern
However, the flaws could not be covered up, leaving loopholes in the end.
"I'm sorry, this plate doesn't look right to me, I don't want it anymore!"
After understanding what was going on, Wu Xiaoli looked very ugly. If Li Yang hadn't followed her and punched her today, 80,000 yuan would be nothing to Li Yang, but it was not a small amount to her.
"No? Are you taking a look? The things we have here are absolutely fine!"
The waiter looked a little anxious. A good deal had almost become a problem but something went wrong at the last moment. At this time, he wanted to catch Li Yang and beat him up.
"I told you it doesn't look right, why do you want me to see it? Let's go!"
Wu Xiaoli was in a bad mood. The waiter actually wanted to trick her into buying fake goods. Wu Xiaoli yelled and left the store first. Li Yang and Liu Gang hurriedly followed. There were several people in the store who wanted to buy something.
The customers hesitated for a moment and finally left the store.
The waiter was stunned. Wu Xiaoli had already walked out, disrupting several of their other businesses and making the waiters inside almost vomit blood.
"Xiaoli, don't be angry. Antiques are not like this. Mr. Liu has always taught us to be careful. This time is a lesson, not to mention you have not suffered any losses!"
Li Yang hurriedly walked to Wu Xiaoli's side and persuaded her in a low voice. What happened just now was really dangerous. If Wu Xiaoli swiped the card and signed the signature, even if they saw that it was a fake, there would be nothing they could do. She never said that from the beginning to the end.
This plate belongs to the Qianlong Dynasty. You think so yourself, and you have no place to explain yourself after being deceived.
"No, I'm not angry. By the way, how did you tell?"
Wu Xiaoli shook her head, her mood was still a little low. Thinking about it, she was lucky this time. Li Yang saw the problem at the last critical moment and stopped in time to avoid any losses.
"You can see it if you look carefully. This plate also confused me at first. The blue and white on it are truly hand-painted. The blue and white are also very beautiful. The counterfeiting methods are very advanced. If I hadn't discovered the loopholes carefully, I'm afraid
I will be blinded too!"
Li Yang sighed softly and said slowly. In fact, Li Yang knew that he had been fooled. If he hadn't intuitively discovered something wrong with his special ability, Li Yang would not have been able to tell that it was a fake.
"You are right, this plate is a very high imitation. High imitation is harmful to people!"
Wu Xiaoli let out a long sigh. In terms of counterfeiting technology, this Qianlong blue and white plate is definitely a high-level imitation. The cost of such an imitation is probably more than 3,000 yuan. If it is sold as a work of art, it will definitely be a high-quality imitation.
It will be sought after by many people, but it is a pity that it has been used as a counterfeit.
"That's right, that's why I came to Shanghai this time to find out the imitations and even more powerful imitations!"
Li Yang nodded in agreement. Seeing this high imitation that almost didn't catch their attention, Li Yang had a deeper understanding of Mr. He's intentions. Now Li Yang also began to hate these harmful imitations.
.
"It's Zhou Fang, right? I heard from Brother Zheng that you went to Beijing just to find Zhou Fang. If you see Zhou Fang in Shanghai this time, you must point it out!" Wu Xiaoli glanced at Li Yang and nodded softly.
.
"Don't worry about this, it's my job and my responsibility to find Zhou Fang!"
Li Yang smiled and nodded. This was also the first time that he took it as his responsibility to find Zhou Fang. Zhou Fang is different from other high-imitation products. His extremely powerful secrecy is enough to deceive most people in the world.
, only a few people can see it. Without these few people, Zhou imitation can almost be regarded as genuine. That is the real tragedy in the world of ancient culture.
After such an incident, Li Yang and Wu Xiaoli were not in the mood to continue looking at the porcelain on the third floor, and simply went up to the fourth floor together.
There are more bronzes on the fourth floor, as well as some miscellaneous antiques. There are also many fake bronzes, but there are not many high imitations like the blue and white plate just now. Li Yang and Wu Xiaoli are now more interested in learning and less interested in picking up mistakes, so they can
If you don't take action, you won't take action.
There were fewer people on the fourth floor than on the third floor. Li Yang and the other two entered a shop with no customers. As soon as the three of them entered, they were greeted by a middle-aged man in his forties.
"Guys, what do you want? I have bronzes from the Shang and Zhou dynasties to the Five Dynasties, Buddhist statues from the Southern and Northern Dynasties, gilded pagodas from the Tang Dynasty, incense burners from the Song Dynasty, Xuande furnaces from the Ming Dynasty, whatever you want is available!"
The shop owner is very eloquent. In just a few words, he described their shop as being like a museum, where everything is available. If that were the case, he wouldn't have to open a shop here. Just auctioning off a few genuine items would be enough for him to eat and drink for a lifetime.
"Let's just take a look!"
Li Yang naturally didn't believe his words, so he walked inside and carefully observed the bronzes on display.
Not to mention, there are really many types of bronzes in this shop. Li Yang used his special ability to take a look and found that most of these bronzes had light yellow rings and were modern imitations.
However, there were indeed a few pieces of dark red and orange-red bronze wares, which were really old things. Li Yang looked at these pieces carefully and finally shook his head in disappointment. The things were really old things, but their appearance was too good.
It's so shaky, it's either missing arms or legs, or it's poorly made, and not of high value.
A bronze mirror from the Tang Dynasty caught Li Yang's attention. Unfortunately, there was a patched hole in the middle of the bronze mirror, which was really regrettable.
Wu Xiaoli kept shaking her head after looking at a few items. It was getting harder and harder to find real treasures in the antique city. It was better to try her luck in the ghost market.
Li Yang put away his special ability and walked a few more steps inside. The store was quite deep, and the really good things were usually placed in the innermost part.
When he walked inside and turned around, Li Yang was stunned. There were actually more than a dozen different Xuande stoves placed on the shelves opposite the store door. The appearance of these Xuande stoves looked good, but Li Yang had no use for them.
He has the special ability to observe these Xuande furnaces, but he doesn't believe that these are all authentic works from the past, and there are not so many in the Forbidden City Museum.
"Are you interested in Xuande furnaces? Then you have come to the right place. Our Xuande furnaces are the most comprehensive in the antique city. From Ming Dynasty to Qing imitations to folk imitations, I have them all!"
The shopkeeper looked at Li Yang with a smile. Li Yang was stunned for a moment. This shopkeeper was not like other shopkeepers. He went up and said that all his products were genuine, and he told them if there were any imitations.
But after thinking about it, Li Yang also understood. Even a fool would not believe it if he said that these are true. Although Qing imitation and folk imitation are imitations, they are always old things with a certain value. If they are old things, they can be more
Sell it for some money.
There were more than a dozen Xuande furnaces with different styles. Li Yang looked carefully and saw only two folk imitations and three Qing imitations. He didn't know whether the others were modern imitations or genuine items.
"Which one has you chosen? I'll hold it for you and take a closer look!"
Seeing Li Yang's serious look, the shop owner added that business was not good today and there were very few customers, otherwise he would not have introduced Li Yang so enthusiastically.
"Just wait a moment!"
Li Yang shook his head slightly, and a three-dimensional picture instantly appeared in his mind. The picture encompassed a dozen Xuande furnaces in front of him. The next moment, the inside and outside of these Xuande furnaces were all exposed in front of Li Yang.
There are thirteen Xuande furnaces in total, and there are actually six old ones. This ratio is already quite astonishing, and even Li Yang was extremely surprised.
Among the six old pieces, one actually has nine circles of light yellow light. From a chronological point of view, this is truly the early and middle Ming Dynasty, and Xuande was within the sixty-year range.
Li Yang couldn't help but rub his eyes and took a closer look at the real Ming Dynasty Xuande furnace. From the naked eye, this Xuande furnace turned out to be a Qing Dynasty imitation Xuande furnace. Li Yang had never expected to encounter such a strange thing.
