"Molded?" After all, Lao Meng is an old man who has been around for many years, and he still understands some common sense. However, he does not know that this kind of square bottle is actually cast in sections. If he knew this, he would be able to identify it himself.
This is a fake.
Seeing Han Kongque nodding, Lao Meng said directly: "Come out! You have also heard what I said. This thing is a fake, so let's take it as a lesson! I told you a long time ago that I would rather buy fakes to look real than buy real things to look fake. You guys
You just don’t listen, what can you buy with 30,000 yuan? You can tell it’s a lie just by looking at the price.”
Han Peacock looked at the two people who came out and was happy. Aren't these Lao Meng's two sons?
"Brother Han, since you have appraised one, you can also appraise this one for us! My dad insists that this is a fake. Please help me take a look and see where the fake is in mine."
At this time, Meng Tian, the second eldest son of the Meng family, directly placed a square bottle in front of Han Peacock.
"So beautiful." Liuxu couldn't help but say.
Han Kongque said with a smile: "The cloisonné enamel square vase looks good."
"Let me tell you! This bottle is so beautiful, how could it be a fake? To identify items, you must first make them beautiful. Even if the items are not beautiful, no one will want them even if they are genuine." Meng Tian said happily.
Meng Guangtao didn't look happy. He said, "Listen to Brother Han."
Han Kongque asked: "When you bought this thing, what did the seller say? A cloisonné enamel square vase from the Ming Dynasty or the Qing Dynasty?"
"Ming Dynasty." Meng Tian said.
Han Peacock is speechless. Can a Ming Dynasty cloisonné enamel square vase be bought for 30,000?
This is no wonder that although Meng Guangtao could not identify the authenticity of this thing, he could guess that it was a modern handicraft. This was something he could judge based on experience.
Han Kongque said: "This is an authentic cloisonné enamel square bottle, but it is made of cloisonné enamel for export. The copper is gilded, and the copper body is genuine. The gilding process is also good, but this one is all red copper.
Moreover, the glaze on the filigree should have large and small trachoma, rather than scattered trachoma like it does now. There were much more trachoma on the filigree enamel during the Ming Dynasty."
"Not from the Ming Dynasty?" Meng Tian was a little disappointed.
Mengshan said at this time: "I wonder how much this can be sold for?"
Han Kongque said: "This was probably made for export in the 1970s and 1980s. The craftsmanship is pretty good, that's why it looks so beautiful. But a pair of 12,000 is as good as the sky."
A pair of 12,000 is only 6,000 each. And this Mengtian cost 30,000, which can be said to be lost to grandma's family.
"Are you convinced? From now on, you two brothers, if you have nothing to do, just follow Xiao Han. I see that you are quite busy recently, so why not let these two boys help you? Don't worry. No salary is required, as long as you teach them.
That’s it.” Meng Guangtao said.
Han Peacock thought for a while and said: "Let's do this! If these two brothers of your family are interested in learning appraisal, they can follow Han Xing first. Recently, Han Xing has brought many of his senior brothers and sisters, Meng Shan and Meng Tianlian, there. It's easier.
It’s better to learn something than to follow me around. After all, you won’t learn much from me without a good foundation.”
"Okay, whatever you say is what it is, and both of them have expressed their determination, saying that if they don't have the ability, they should devote themselves to studying hard. Now that the two of them have got a pair of fakes, there is nothing to say about it."
Meng Guangtao said.
At this time, Han Peacock smiled: "I said how could they take action so easily? The original reason is here. In the learning stage, see more and buy less. You should have heard of it. I have been in the antique street for more than ten years.
In the past ten years, I bought less than ten things in total, and these things were all purchased at low prices. Even if I get an eye shot, it won't hurt my muscles and bones."
Meng Guangtao immediately said: "Listen, this means that you would rather buy fake than real. If you don't have the ability, you have to buy things with the intention of buying fakes. Even if you are optimistic about something, you think 99% of it is genuine.
Even if it is genuine, you should treat it as a fake and buy it.
Only in this way can we not stand out, otherwise you and I don’t have much ability, how do you think I managed to survive in this antique shop where people cannibalize people?"
Han Kongque gave a thumbs up. Although many newcomers to the industry know this principle, few can actually do it.
Often when they see an item and find a few advantages, they start to get excited and think it is genuine.
At this time, the sellers will try to flirt with each other, and they will often start to offer high prices. It is really difficult not to be fooled at this time.
Han Kongque was afraid that someone would come to him for appraisal again, so when he saw Liuxu and Xiaoxiao finished eating, he hurriedly said: "Let's go to the market for a walk. We have to go to work later, so I won't disturb you."
They pushed back on the six thousand yuan that Meng Guangtao took out for a long time, but Han Kongque didn't take it either.
Walking out of the Meng family's store, Liuxu said quietly: "It's really easy for you to make money."
Han Peacock said funny: "What's wrong? Are you jealous?"
Liuxu said: "What are you jealous of? Can authenticating antiques save lives? I mean, this world is really unfair. Some people are struggling on the line of life and death every day, but there are you who are full and have nothing to do, making these things that you can't eat or drink.
"
Han Kongque laughed and said: "That's why I support you in building a hospital! Building the most powerful and largest hospital in the world will help more people."
"That's nice, can I get you some valuable antiques in exchange?" Liu Xu felt better.
Han Kongque said: "By the way! The rich will be slaughtered and brutally slaughtered. If we don't have money, our help will be in vain. Isn't that okay?"
"Okay, the purpose of our hospital is to rob the rich and give to the poor, isn't that right?" Liu Xu said.
The two people were talking, and they smiled and said in Han Kongque's ear: "Zhuzhu."
Han Kongque was stunned for a moment. Then he looked at where Xiaoxiao was pointing. There was another wave of onlookers in front of him. He didn't know what the reason was this time.
However, Han Peacock soon understood that beads were string beads, and many aunties were rushing to buy them in front of them.
I saw some aunts carrying baskets, and some carrying several kilograms of meat. They had just returned from shopping for vegetables.
Liu Xu said: "It's been like this a lot lately. At this time, it happens to be the time when the street vendors set up their stalls, so these aunts are here."
"Buying small-leaf rosewood beads?" Han Peacock said in a funny tone.
He admires these Chinese aunts very much. In recent years, jade and precious wood have been highly speculated in China. Chinese aunts can even influence the international market. Chinese aunts can be seen in all items that can be speculated.
Every year when zodiac stamps are released, a lot of Chinese aunts line up at the post office to buy them. Don’t underestimate their purchasing power. Their purchasing power leaves many international speculators speechless.
Liu Xu said: "Cheap bracelets cost four to five hundred yuan, and expensive bracelets cost one or two thousand yuan. People can buy as many bracelets as they can get."
Han Peacock sighed: "This is so stimulated by the domestic counterfeiting market."
"Yes! I used to worry about not being able to buy genuine products, but now I finally don't have to worry about buying fakes. Naturally, I have to satisfy my desire to buy. However, the bracelets carved by those uncles are more exquisite than yours.
There are too many." LiuXu did not forget to hit Han Peacock in the end.
Han Peacock could still see the beads in the aunt's hands.
Indeed, these bead strings are more beautiful than those carved by Korean Peacock, but this is not because Korean Peacock's carving skills are not good, but also because Korean Peacock's selection of materials is not as good as those of the old men.
These old men carve these beads according to the grain of the wood, so that every bead is made as perfect as possible. Moreover, they pay more attention to it than Han Peacock, so Han Peacock uses local materials and carves at will.
The beads are not as beautiful as these.
"The Antique Street is a lot more lively." Han Peacock looked at the streets with people coming and going. The number of people here was more than half as much as before.
"Do you want to say that this is your credit?" Liu Xu said.
Han Kongque said: "You didn't tell me that I hadn't noticed it, but when you mentioned it, I remembered that this is really my contribution. It seems that I have to go to the collection association and ask them to give me some rewards, otherwise I will suffer a big loss.
Already?"
"You are really thick-skinned. You even follow Xiaoxiao's friends." Liu Xu smiled and winked at Xiaoxiao.
Xiaoxiao was immediately happy: "Dogs have thick skin."
Hearing this, Liuxu immediately laughed.
Han Kongque said dissatisfied: "Don't tempt children to curse, this is not good."
"What about scolding others?" Liu Xu knew Han Peacock well.
Han Kongque said casually: "That doesn't matter, but it's best not to scold anyone."
Seeing the strange look in Liu Xu's eyes, Han Kongque immediately answered.
The family just walked leisurely on the street. Even if some unknown vendors asked Han Peacock if he wanted something, Han Peacock did not lower his head to look, because shopping with Liuxu and Xiaoxiao was more important than anything else.
"It's been a long time since I've had such an easy trick." Liuxu said while turning around in a relaxed manner.
Han Kongque said: "I will take you to the Sun Tribe for a drink in the evening."
"What should I do with Xiaoxiao?" Liu Xu asked.
Han Kongque said: "Of course I will follow. There are drinks there. Besides, the environment there is neither noisy nor chaotic, so it's okay to have a laugh."
"That's not okay. If Xiaoxiao goes there once and still wants to go, we won't be able to control it in the future." Liuxu was afraid that Xiaoxiao would imitate him.
Han Kongque said: "We are so smart with Xiaoxiao. We won't go to bad places without your help."
"Of course, I will not go to a forest without people, otherwise I will be picked up by a wolf." Xiaoxiao said immediately.
Both Han Peacock and Liu Xu were speechless. It seemed that even if she came to the city, she would not be able to come out of the mountains and forests for a while.
"Eh? That's a Korean star, right?" Liu Xu pointed not far away.
Han Peacock looked over and saw that it was indeed a Korean star. At this time, Han Xin was dressed in casual clothes and completely lost the air of a company executive. He was surrounded by several young people, who seemed to be his junior brothers.
