Another characteristic of Mr. Hoss is that he likes to make friends.
Moreover, Mr. Hoth’s prestige is very high and his strength is also very strong. When important museums in other countries have exchange activities with the United States, they will say hello to Mr. Hoth. He is one of the few active top leaders in the circle.
expert.
Moreover, Mr. Hoss is a senior who is known to many people. Among the many experts present, more people know Mr. Hoss than Lin Lang.
Such a person was also identified as fake, which made some people start to murmur in their hearts.
Four experts from China chose to be fake, three from the United States, and the remaining three experts, two of whom thought they were fake, were all from France.
After seeing the French experts with black lights on their wrists, some experts' expressions changed again.
The ones with the black lights on their wrists are the French brothers Joseph. The Joseph brothers are celebrities and geeks in the collecting world. They are brothers, and their parents are billionaires and bankers.
They are twins. After their parents passed away, they left a large amount of assets to them, as well as up to 60% of the shares of a large multinational bank, and each of the brothers had 30%.
It's a pity that neither of them has any interest in running a business. They both have a common hobby, which is collecting.
The two of them were like this when they just graduated from college. They were criticized many times for collecting. They were even called "pigeons" by the French collecting circles. Pigeon in French means the one who takes advantage of others.
Because of this, many scammers in France like to find the two brothers. However, as the two brothers study and work hard, gradually there are fewer and fewer scammers around them, until they disappear, and no one can deceive them anymore.
It is said that the Louvre Museum in France invited them to serve as consultants, but they were rejected by the two.
The two brothers like to collect alone and are not very gregarious. This time Lin Lang just extended an invitation to give it a try. Unexpectedly, both of them came, and they did not come with other French experts.
These two brothers are very low-key and do not like to appear in public, but their standards are very high. This has been recognized, otherwise the Louvre would not have invited them.
Except for the two of them, the last person who pressed the black light was a Mexican and a black man. He was only in his thirties and was not very eye-catching.
What really puzzles everyone is Li Yang and Mr. Hoss. The Joseph brothers are very famous, but they are only famous in France, and not many foreigners know them.
As for my Mexican friend, I know even fewer people.
Now ten people think it is fake, but anyone who really understands can see that there are actually only four people who think this Buddha statue is fake.
Li Yang, Mr. Hoss, Brother Joseph, and the unknown Mexican.
Not to mention Brother Joseph, the Mexicans don’t even know who Lin Lang is. It was Li Yang and Mr. Hoss who really attracted everyone’s attention.
One of these two people is currently the most popular young expert, and the other is an old-timer with high reputation in the United States. Both of them believe that this pagoda is fake, and the current issue is worthy of scrutiny.
"Huang Lao, my level is limited, what do you think?"
Song Xueming asked in a low voice to Mr. Huang next to him. Song Xuemin was a great collector, but his appraisal skills were average. Among the Chinese expert representatives, he could only place seeds. This time, Taiwan wanted to show off the Chinese national treasure in his hands, so they invited him.
Come.
Song Xuemin really couldn't tell where the fake thing was, so he asked Mr. Huang next to him.
Mr. Huang is the most famous appraisal expert in Hong Kong, and he is also very famous internationally. It is safer to ask Mr. Huang for his opinion at this time. Between Li Yang and Mr. Huang, Song Xuemin will definitely
I believe Mr. Huang.
Mr. Huang's prestige over the years cannot be compared to Li Yang's performance in just a few days.
Besides, Li Yang is too young.
"I don't know, I really don't know!"
Mr. Huang gave a bitter smile and shook his head, making Song Xuemin's eyes widen. He had never seen Mr. Huang like this before, and he even said he didn't know two things in a row.
The way Mr. Huang looks now is that he obviously has no confidence. Even Mr. Huang has no confidence. Song Xuemin doesn't know what to say. Maybe their choice just now was really wrong.
At this time, Mr. Huang was indeed very conflicted.
If Li Yang is the only one who is not optimistic, it is possible that Li Yang is wrong. After all, Li Yang is young and he has the deepest conflicts with the Japanese. Even if he is wrong at this time, it is excusable.
But even Mr. Hoss and Brother Joseph thought it was fake, so it was really difficult to evaluate this treasure.
Mr. Huang and Mr. Hoss are very familiar with each other. When Mr. Hoss went to Hong Kong, Mr. Huang accompanied him all the way. Mr. Huang also went to the United States several times and lived in Mr. Hoss's villa. The relationship between the two was no less than
and some domestic experts.
Mr. Huang was very impressed by Mr. Hoss's level. Whether it was Asian or European antiques, Mr. Hoss had very high attainments. He collected the famous Yuan blue and white standard vessels and the dragon pattern amphora in the 11th year of Zhengzheng.
In the museum named after Mr. Hawes.
Mr. Huang even said that Mr. Hoss is better at researching some Chinese cultural relics than Chinese experts.
What Mr. Hawes is best at is porcelain and bronze.
It is precisely because Mr. Hoss also sees fake things that Mr. Huang is so conflicted in his heart. If one person says that he can’t believe it, two people will make people shaken. Both of them are people that Mr. Huang considers to be no less than him.
.
But the most important thing is the third one.
The third thing that makes Mr. Huang worried is the choice of brother Joseph. Others don't know about brother Joseph, but Mr. Huang knows it very well.
The two brothers are not yet sixty years old, but they have been to Hong Kong more than twenty years ago and have learned a lot from Mr. Huang. At that time, their level was already outstanding, but they were just beginners in Chinese porcelain.
level.
The diligent and studious attitude of the two people once moved Mr. Huang for a while. For this reason, they taught each other all they knew about porcelain. The attitude of a pair of foreigners who traveled thousands of miles to learn Chinese porcelain was enough to impress them.
Huang Lao approved.
The two of them stayed in Hong Kong for a year and never went anywhere else. They studied with Mr. Huang for a full year. During this year, Mr. Huang witnessed their rapid growth with his own eyes.
When they came, they only knew the difference between blue and white and pastel, but a year later, the blue and white of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties could be seen almost at a glance. This speed of progress made Mr. Huang full of praise and even regretted confiscating it.
The two of them were apprentices.
At first, the two of them wanted to take Mr. Huang as their teacher. At that time, Mr. Huang was not very old, a little younger than they are now. He was still a little prejudiced against the French, so he refused on the grounds that they were foreigners.
Yes, but when I teach them things, I don’t hide anything privately.
Ten years ago, the two came to Hong Kong again and respected Mr. Huang very much.
However, at that time, the performance of the two of them at the level of porcelain was no less than that of Huang Lao, and it was still no less than Huang Lao's level at that time. This made Huang Lao very surprised. The waves behind the Yangtze River pushed the waves ahead, and he was melancholy for a while.
time.
When they came to Canada this time, they had met Mr. Huang once before, and they still respected Mr. Huang very much. They wanted to specially invite Mr. Huang to France as a guest, but unfortunately Mr. Huang refused.
Regarding these two brothers, Mr. Huang can be said to be the one who knows better among many experts.
These two brothers, if they don't study hard, they will definitely learn to a real level as long as they are interested and work hard. Mr. Huang doesn't know what their attainments in bronze are, but he understands that the two of them are good at Chinese porcelain.
, definitely has a level no less than his own.
Maybe even taller than myself.
These two people are the geniuses that Mr. Huang has really seen. The most rare thing is that they have always been so interested in collecting.
Of course, Li Yang is also a genius. In Huang Lao's eyes, Li Yang is even more powerful than Brother Joseph.
One genius, two geniuses, and an American senior with a high reputation. This is the biggest reason why Mr. Huang's confidence is turbulent at this time.
Three people become tigers. Knowing that there are three people who are no worse than himself who are not optimistic about this treasure, Huang Lao's heart is shaken.
"The time is up, and the results of this appraisal are that the Golden Rooster Diamond is unanimously recognized as authentic, and the Japanese gilded Avalokitesvara Buddha statue has been identified as fake by ten experts. The Avalokitesvara Buddha Statue has entered the next round of appraisal, and the Golden Rooster Diamond can be directly entered into the exhibition!"
The host stood up and said slowly that according to the regulations of the treasure appraisal conference, as long as an expert identifies a treasure as fake, there will be a second round of appraisal. This time is the key to revealing whether the treasure is real or fake.
In the second round, not only experts can get started with the inspection, but there is also a strict technological appraisal. The second round is also the final review.
When the results come out, we can determine whether the treasure is genuine or not. Is it the majority of experts who made a mistake, the experts who hold the treasure brought a fake, or a small number of experts made a mistake and regarded the real thing as a fake.
"etc!"
After the host finished speaking, before announcing the end of the morning's activities, Aoki Weiyang suddenly shouted, his eyes staring at Li Yang in the audience.
"Mr. Aoki, it's too late!"
The host politely said that it would be 12:10 noon, and the morning activity time had been delayed by 30 minutes due to Li Yang's delay.
"It's okay, I just want to ask a question!"
Aoki Weiyang shook her head, looked at the people in the audience who chose the black light, and said slowly: "Mr. Li, Mr. Hoss, Mr. Joseph, I just want to know why you made such a choice?
"
Why is there such a choice? Aoki Weiyang is still not convinced.
After asking, Aoki Weiyang kept staring at Li Yang. Strictly speaking, Li Yang was the person he wanted to ask the most.
Li Yang shook his head slightly, stood up, and said slowly: "Mr. Aoki, I'm sorry, although your replica of this treasure is very exquisite and almost perfect, I have to regret to tell you that imitations are imitations after all.
