The two Shanghai experts just wanted to ask questions, but Mr. Liu had already agreed to Li Yang, so they had to give up and wait until noon to see the results. The two Shanghai experts had already made up their mind to see what Li Yang could explain at noon.
If they can't explain what happened, they will definitely question the Palace Museum and the Nationalists Association.
The short break ended quickly, and several experts went back to continue appraising the ancient jade. The quality of the ancient jade from other companies was good, and Zhou Fang Li Yang didn't see any of them. This made him very relieved, at least it was not the rumored one.
In that way, there will be imitations everywhere.
Thinking about it, Zhou Ye is only one person after all. Making a piece of imitation is not something you can just say. It also requires a lot of energy from Zhou Ye. How can there be so many imitations.
A total of more than 60 pieces of ancient jade were appraised in the morning. There are only more than 80 pieces of ancient jade in Shanghai that need to be appraised. However, there are still more than 30 pieces of ancient jade sent by several auction companies in Nanjing and Hangzhou that need to be appraised. The entire appraisal time
It still takes a whole day.
As soon as the appraisal activity in the morning ended, Mr. Liu and Mr. Zhou took Li Yang to the lounge. Mr. Zhao and Mr. Chen from Shanghai followed closely. Zhao Qiang, the boss of Huhua Auction Company, was also called to the lounge by them.
"Expert Li, now you can tell me what's going on!"
Entering the lounge, the first person to ask was Mr. Zhao from Shanghai. This Mr. Zhao is the uncle of Zhao Qiang, the boss of Huhua Company. No wonder he is so anxious. There is a problem with the heavy equipment of his nephew's company. It is strange that he is not in a hurry.
.
Zhao Qiang's face was suddenly startled and he looked at Li Yang anxiously.
Li Yang thought about it carefully and then said slowly: "That Maitreya Buddha is not a complete whole. It is spliced and glued together. I suspect that it has been tampered with inside!"
"Impossible!" Zhao Qiang blurted out. Looking at the surprised old experts, he hurriedly explained: "Our people have carefully looked at the jade sculpture of Maitreya Buddha. The whole body is intact. How could it be spliced and glued together?"
It fits well, we can definitely tell by the splicing and gluing!"
Mr. Liu recalled the performance of the Maitreya Buddha jade sculpture, couldn't help but nodded, and asked Li Yang: "Xiao Li, did you see it wrong?"
"I'm sure I'm not wrong. How about this, Mr. Zhao, bring that Maitreya Buddha over again and I'll show it to you!"
Li Yang shook his head. He could see accurately with his eyes, but with his special ability, he didn't even think about escaping any subtlety. The Maitreya Buddha had already been fully exposed under Li Yang's three-dimensional image.
"Okay, I'll have someone send it in right now!"
Zhao Qiang nodded immediately. At first, he thought that the Maitreya Buddha was a Zhou imitation, but now he was relieved to know that it was not. As for the splicing mentioned by Li Yang, he believed that it was definitely not the case.
After a while, another person came into the lounge. It was Ouyang Liang, whom Li Yang knew. Ouyang Liang came over with the Maitreya Buddha, put the Maitreya Buddha on the table, stood aside, and did not leave immediately.
.
Zhao Qiang didn't care. Ouyang Liang was the one he focused on cultivating, so he could just watch from here.
Li Yang picked up the Maitreya Buddha, pointed to the lower part of the Buddha's body, and said softly: "The splicing and bonding point is here, which means that this Maitreya Buddha is not carved from a whole piece of jade, and I also doubt it.
There is another universe inside Maitreya Buddha!"
Li Yang actually already knew the situation inside the Maitreya Buddha. It is true that the Maitreya Buddha is carved from mutton-fat jade, but it is not all mutton-fat jade. Only the thin outer layer is mutton-fat jade, but there is a large layer of mutton-fat jade inside.
It is a very ordinary piece of green and white jade. Moreover, the green and white jade and mutton fat jade inside are so well blended together that you cannot feel it at all when you hold it in your hand.
It's a pity that Li Yang can't tell these things. Li Yang can still explain the splicing and gluing. If he says that the main material of Maitreya Buddha is blue and white jade, he can't explain it. No matter how powerful Li Yang is, he can't pass through a small
When you see the adhesive marks and see what's inside, you can only say you're suspicious.
"Expert Li, are you really sure this place is spliced together?"
Zhao Qiang smiled instead when he saw where Li Yang was pointing. The place Li Yang was pointing to was the edge of the corner of Maitreya Buddha's clothes. There was a long fold mark here. It is possible to regard the fold mark as a bonding point, but
He didn't expect that an expert like Li Yang would make such a low-level mistake. At this time, Zhao Qiang was very suspicious of Li Yang's status as an expert.
"Yes, I'm sure!"
Li Yang nodded heavily, wondering in his heart. In ancient times, mutton-fat white jade was hundreds or even thousands of times more expensive than green white jade. In those days, mutton-fat white jade was more expensive, but the price was limited. It seemed
There is no need to use this method to make a shoddy product. It takes a lot of effort just to make the adhesive joint invisible, which makes people feel that the gain outweighs the loss.
Mr. Zhao and Mr. Chen both shook their heads and looked at Mr. Liu and Mr. Zhou together. Mr. Liu took the Maitreya Buddha seriously. They knew Li Yang's strength and understood that Li Yang would not argue with him on such an issue.
They were joking. Since Li Yang said it was spliced and glued together, it was really possible.
Mr. Zhou also leaned his head, and the two looked carefully together, and finally shook their heads together.
It's not that they saw any problem, it's that the folded surface looked so natural that they couldn't see any traces of splicing and gluing.
"Mr. Liu, what do you say?"
Mr. Zhao from Shanghai did not ask Li Yang, but asked Mr. Liu. He didn't really believe in Li Yang now, but he believed in Mr. Liu and Mr. Zhou.
Mr. Liu frowned and shook his head. He did not answer Mr. Zhao's words, but looked at Li Yang: "Xiao Li, I really didn't see that they were spliced and glued together. Is there any way you can make us see it?"
"Yes, I need some salt water and solution!"
Li Yang was moved in his heart. Asking like this proved that Mr. Liu still believed in him. No matter why, it was not easy for Mr. Liu to maintain his trust in him.
"Salt water and solution, no problem!"
Mr. Zhou hurriedly ordered people to prepare these two things. In fact, Li Yang was a little hesitant. It was not difficult to show the splicing and adhesive seal, but it was not easy to restore it to the natural look.
, Li Yang would not have done this if he did not want everyone to believe that this was indeed not a complete product.
After a while, the salt water and solution were brought over. Li Yang raised his head again and said to Zhao Qiang, the boss of Huhua Company: "Mr. Zhao, actually this thing is very good overall. If you don't
If you like, I won’t show the splicing and gluing!”
"No, Mr. Li, if you can find it, just find it!"
Zhao Qiang sneered and changed his title. Obviously he no longer regarded Li Yang as an expert. Seeing this scene, Ouyang Liang was secretly happy in his heart, as if he had eaten honey.
"Oh well!"
Li Yang shook his head helplessly. First of all, this was a fake mutton-fat jade carving. No matter whether it was an ancient forgery or a modern fake, Li Yang would never identify such a jade carving as a real mutton-fat jade carving. The gap is not small.
Once the buyer discovers something is wrong, both Li Yang and He who signed the contract will be in trouble.
The problem is that if Li Yang does not sign, the appraisal certificate will not be valid. This forms a deadlock, and Li Yang can only reveal the true face of this ancient fake jade.
In ancient times, splicing and gluing things together was nothing more than white ash or glutinous rice water. This kind of thing will be revealed as soon as it is soaked in salt water or dissolved liquid, and then the traces of the glue will be visible.
Exposed without a doubt.
Li Yang mixed the solution and salt water, and did not put the whole Maitreya Buddha in. Instead, he wiped it with a towel like Mr. Zhou. After all, the surface of the Maitreya Buddha was real mutton-fat jade, soaked in the solution.
It would be a shame if it was damaged.
Zhao Qiang sneered at first, but within a few minutes he opened his mouth wide and looked at the jade sculpture of Maitreya Buddha in disbelief. Mr. Zhao and Mr. Chen also looked like they had seen a ghost, while Mr. Liu and Mr. Zhou looked like they had seen a ghost.
They looked at each other in horror, and finally laughed bitterly together.
They were hit again by Li Yang. This kid is definitely a freak. I really don't know how he saw such secret traces.
Under the salt water and dissolving solution, the stain marks on the bonding area have loosened a little bit. This little looseness is enough to expose the traces on it, although the traces on the surface are not visible to ordinary people at all.
But these experts were enough to discover that something was wrong.
It is really spliced and glued together. In this case, the value of this jade carving will be greatly reduced. In addition, the quality of the jade inside will also be doubtful. If it is not a complete piece of jade, anything may happen inside.
"Impossible, this is impossible!"
Zhao Qiang stared blankly at the marks on it, still unable to believe that it was real. If Li Yang hadn't actually found these marks in front of his eyes, he might even have doubted whether the things were stolen by Li Yang.
Lost the bag.
"Mr. Zhao, it seems that we are all blind this time. We can't sign this thing directly!"
Mr. Liu sighed, and Mr. Zhao nodded silently, with a very ugly look on his face.
Since the things are spliced and glued together, it is not a complete jade carving. Naturally, they cannot sign such a thing. Now they just don’t know why there are traces of splicing on this jade carving. If it is true as Li Yang said, there is something else inside.
If it's Qiankun, then you can't even sign it.
"Mr. Zhao, if you still want to continue the appraisal of this jade carving, we will open the bonding joint and have a look. If there is no problem inside and it is just normal damage, we will use modern technology to restore it and we will issue an appraisal for you.
Certificate!"
Mr. Zhou sighed, took a step forward, and whispered to Zhao Qiang that only he could say these words now. Li Yang was no longer suitable to do this.
"No need, we need to notify the owner of the following matters before we have the right to carry out *** operations!"
Zhao Qiang gave a wry smile. This important item is now finished. It will be impossible to put it up for auction in the short term. Even Zhao Qiang did not expect that they did not receive the Zhou imitation ancient jade, but received a problematic ancient jade. They did not know whether it was
