Liu Xuesong and others were slightly stunned. Only He Lao still looked at Li Yang with a smile, neither indicating that what Li Yang said was wrong nor agreeing with Li Yang's statement.
"Yes, the jade plate itself is a technical job. This jade has been plated for so many years. Even if it is not that old, it is still a fine piece of ancient jade!"
Li Yang nodded again and said with a sigh. After seeing the method of panning jade from a book the day before yesterday, Li Yang deliberately checked a lot of relevant information. Mainly because Li Yang himself wanted to play with panning a piece of jade, but he saw that it was so troublesome.
Later, Li Yang could not make up his mind.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Mr. He. It was Mr. He who took out the jade pendant. It was useless no matter how eloquent the young man Li Yang said. In the end, they would only believe Mr. He.
"Young man is very good!" After a long time, Mr. He nodded slowly. Looking at Li Yang, Mr. He suddenly asked: "I only accidentally discovered that this ancient jade in my collection a few years ago is not the same.
How did you figure it out?"
"How could I see it? I analyzed it with my special ability!" Li Yang smiled bitterly, but he only dared to say this in his heart and never dared to say it directly.
After thinking for a while, Li Yang slowly replied: "Actually, Mr. He, you told me this yourself. There was something wrong with your eyes when you took out this jade pendant. I felt that there must be something wrong with this jade pendant, so I looked carefully.
I checked it out. There is a little difference between the moistness of the ancient jade grinded from wheat bran and the ordinary ancient jade handed down from ancient times. The brightness of the paste will not be the same. Based on these performances, I dare to make such a conjecture. If you hadn’t used your eyes at first
Even if you tell me, I can’t think of any of this!”
"Haha, you're such a young boy. Anyway, I wanted to test you and showed off my flaws. But it's not easy for you to see that, and to accurately analyze the history of this ancient jade, which is only about 150 years old.
That's amazing, Li Yang, I remember you didn't understand anything when you came to my place last time, why has there been such a big change in such a short period of time?"
Mr. He laughed loudly, and Wu Xiaoli also stared at Li Yang closely. She knew Li Yang better than Mr. He. Li Yang had shown that he knew nothing about antiques before, but he turned into an expert in just a few days.
, Wu Xiaoli couldn’t figure it out.
"Some time ago, I was lucky enough to visit an antique ghost market. Since then, I have become interested in antiques. The one I am most interested in is ancient jade, so I checked a lot of information immediately after I came back. Mr. He, in fact, I am not yet in the industry.
I’m just interested in antiques!”
Li Yang had a wry smile on his face. This was probably the question he was least willing to explain. At the same time, he also felt that his performance today was too dazzling. How could anyone who had just come into contact with antiques understand so much.
"You can memorize a lot of information, but your eyesight needs a long time to practice. It seems that you have put in a lot of hard work to have such a good eyesight, and you must also have a very good talent. As far as I know, in the antique world
There has only been one person as talented as you, I believe you will be the second one!"
Mr. He nodded slowly, and everyone looked at Li Yang in horror. No one expected that Mr. He would give such a high evaluation to Li Yang.
Liu Xuesong hesitated for a moment, and finally approached Mr. He and asked in a low voice: "Mr. He, you just said that the most talented person in the antique world is Zhu Zhixiang?"
Liu Xuesong's voice was not loud, but no one spoke at this time, and most people in the room still heard it.
"That's right, that's him. In just three years, he went from knowing nothing to becoming the number one imitator at all times and in all over the world. This talent is unrivaled to this day. It's a pity that he took the wrong path in the end, otherwise
He will definitely become a great master!"
When talking about this person, Mr. He's expression became extremely serious, and he looked at Li Yang with a complicated look. Liu Xuesong and several other old people took a breath. No one thought that Mr. He would treat this young man in front of him.
The man is comparable to Zhu Zhixiang.
When several people looked at Li Yang, their eyes were different. Only Wu Xiaoli stared at her grandfather and several old people with big eyes. Li Yang was even more confused and didn't know anything.
It wasn't until much later, when Li Yang really got to know Zhu Zhixiang, that he finally understood why they looked at him like this.
Zhu Zhixiang, a very ordinary farmer in northern Shaanxi, went south in the late 1980s and became one of the many entrepreneurs who went south.
Zhu Zhixiang first worked as a cook in a restaurant. After working for a few months, he came into contact with a businessman who purchased antiques. The businessman saw that Zhu Zhixiang was honest and reliable, so he took him away to accompany him to collect the goods. In less than a month,
, Zhu Zhixiang developed a pair of good eyesight, and even the merchant who took him to receive goods could not compare with him.
After that, Zhu Zhixiang left the businessman and went on his own, earning tens of thousands of dollars in less than half a year. At that time, tens of thousands of dollars was already a great fortune, but he was not satisfied, and instead took these few dollars with him.
He spent 10,000 yuan to become an apprentice in Jingdezhen and began to learn how to make porcelain.
No one knows how he learned it. A year later, Zhu Zhixiang left Jingdezhen and returned to his hometown in northern Shaanxi. He opened an ordinary kiln by himself, firing some tiles and crude porcelain, and he was still well-known in the local area.
Another year and a half later, Zhu Zhixiang handed over the kiln factory to his younger brother to run it, and disappeared after leaving his hometown.
After that, some exquisite Ming and Qing official kiln wares began to appear on the Chinese market, each piece of which was priceless. For five consecutive years, hundreds of such exquisite porcelains appeared, with a total value of more than 40 million, almost
All major auction companies have auctioned such high-quality official kilns.
At that time, it was the 1990s, and porcelain worth more than 40 million yuan is now more than 400 million yuan. It was not until someone discovered the secret later that the momentum stopped, and then the first high imitation case in the country was discovered.
Zhu Zhixiang has also become the first person to produce high imitations at all times and in all over the world.
These porcelains were actually fired by him in his hometown, and they were all secretly sold by him at major auction companies under various names. After Zhu Zhixiang was arrested, he was sentenced to life imprisonment. If it weren’t for his level of porcelain firing, he would
Gao, the country is reluctant to waste such talents. The amount of fraud he committed that shocked the country was enough to be shot ten times.
After Zhu Zhixiang was arrested, not all of his exiled Zhu imitations have been recovered until now. Even though many experts now
Experts will still be deceived by those Zhu imitations. Many old auction companies have even changed their minds about Zhu imitations, resulting in some exquisite official kiln heavy objects having to undergo scientific appraisal before they dare to accept them, to prevent Zhu imitations from ruining their signboards.
.
Even today, there are only a few people in the country who can truly recognize Zhu Fang, and Mr. He is one of them.
And because there were so many auction companies that were deceived at that time, after the fraud case came out, everyone who knew the case kept their mouths shut. Only old people like He and Liu who had been in the antique industry for a long time knew about it.
Young people like Wu Xiaoli have never heard of this matter.
This is also the reason why Mr. He and Liu Xuesong have serious expressions. Li Yang has shown no less talent than Zhu Zhixiang, and he seems to be very interested in and researches on counterfeiting. They don't want Li Yang to become the second Zhu Zhixiang, let alone in the future.
There will be a large number of Li imitations on the market.
When Li Yang truly understood this, all he showed was that he was dumbfounded. Zhu Zhixiang was indeed talented, but he relied on his special ability to achieve this. Let alone high imitation, he couldn't even make low imitation. Li Yang
His special ability doesn't help him fake it.
"Li Yang, if you have time tomorrow, come and sit at my place!"
Mr. He suddenly spoke to Li Yang. Everyone was stunned for a moment. Liu Xuesong and others who knew Zhu Zhixiang nodded deeply. Mr. He was trying to prevent problems in the bud, and inviting Li Yang as a guest was actually to enlighten him.
Li Yang, let his talent go on the right path and never go astray.
"Tomorrow!" Li Yang hesitated for a moment, then saw the concern and sincerity in Mr. He's eyes and couldn't help but nodded: "I have time tomorrow!"
"Well, I will wait for you at home tomorrow. You already know the place!"
Mr. He nodded and said nothing, and put the jade pendant that Li Yang returned to him in his pocket. This jade pendant was just taken out to play with. He also took the test on Li Yang on an impromptu basis just now, but Li Yang's accurate answer was very disappointing.
He Lao was surprised.
Liu Xuesong glanced at Li Yang and Wu Xiaoli, and suddenly asked Mr. He: "Mr. He, I heard others say that you have a very good relationship with Mr. Hong from Suzhou. Is it true?"
"Yes, why are you asking about him?" Mr. He replied, looking at Liu Xuesong in surprise.
"That's what I want..."
Liu Xuesong moved his body closer to Mr. He and whispered directly in Mr. He's ear. Only he and Mr. He knew the voice behind it, and no one else knew.
Mr. He laughed while listening, and finally nodded heavily and said: "Mr. Hong has not used a knife for several years. It may not be easy for him to do it with his own hands, but it is no problem to find one of his proud apprentices to do it."
Yes, I will help you with this matter!"
"Thank you, Mr. He, for your help!"
Liu Xuesong's face immediately showed a look of joy. No one knew what the two old men were muttering. However, because Li Yang was standing relatively close, he could vaguely hear the master carver or something.
Thinking of the little baby at home, Li Yang's heart suddenly moved and he blurted out: "Mr. He, who is Mr. Hong you just mentioned?"
Mr. He glanced at Li Yang with a smile and said: "Mr. Hong is currently the most famous and best master carver in our country. Everything made by Mr. Hong himself is of high quality. But it is a pity that Mr. Hong
He has been practicing swordsmanship for several years, but fortunately his several apprentices are very good and have inherited Mr. Hong’s style!"
"That's right, Mr. He, I have a good piece of jade material on hand. Could you please tell me about it and find an expert to carve it? It would be a pity to keep that piece of material lying around!"
Li Yang was thinking of his piece of glass imperial green jadeite. Now this piece of top-grade jadeite was sleeping at home all the time. Li Yang had long had the idea of finding someone to carve it into a pendant, but he could never think of a good carving.
I was afraid of wasting this top-quality material so I kept waiting. Today I heard Mr. He mention it and brought it up.
"Okay, you can bring that piece of raw material to me tomorrow and I'll show it to you first. If it's not a good material, it won't be easy to invite them!"
He Lao immediately agreed. In fact, even if the material was bad, He Lao's word would be fine, but he didn't want Li Yang to have the idea of relying on him.
Li Yang didn't know yet, but in Mr. He's eyes, he had become a very, very good seedling, just like a piece of jade, and he didn't want him to be polluted in any way.
