If you take in a wealthy girl like me, is that really good for you?
What stunned Yu Fei was that the woman suddenly repeated the joke she just told Ye Jianjun in Chinese.
She actually heard what she just said. Not only did she hear it, but she also understood it. Not only did she understand it, she actually repeated it.
Yu Fei's face felt hot. The woman's voice also let him know who she was.
Margaret, how could it be you? Yu Fei asked a little embarrassed.
Yes, the mysterious woman in front of him is Margaret, whom Yu Fei met by chance in Bermondsey. Because Margaret and Yu Fei had always spoken in Chinese when they got along before, so when the price was just called, Margaret
Yu Fei couldn't recognize Gretel's voice because of her English.
Moreover, Margaret's temperament and demeanor at this time were completely different from those in Bermondsey, which made Yu Fei dare not recognize her.
Why can't it be me? Margaret gently lifted her veil, revealing a beautiful face. But she quickly put it down.
Am I an extremely ugly old woman with a pockmarked face? Margaret asked.
Yu Fei shook his head, thinking that women are really vengeful animals, and quickly said: If you are an extremely ugly old woman with a pockmarked face, then I am afraid that a large number of people will turn to like old women.
Margaret smiled and said: Then who are Lin Chiling and Sister Feng?
Yu Fei:
I guess you are a movie star, right? Yu Fei changed the subject. Margaret's behavior reminded him of celebrities who were on guard against paparazzi's secret photos.
That's right. Margaret said a little narrowly: Anyway, being recognized will cause some trouble.
Yu Fei nodded and thought that was right. However, it seemed that there was no female star named Margaret in his memory. After thinking about it again, he felt relieved. He was not a star-chasing fan and had not even watched a few movies.
Not to mention watching foreign movies. I don’t even know how many foreign stars there are. It’s normal not to recognize them.
Oh, by the way, you haven't said why you asked me to get the blue and white plum vase on the spot. After making a big circle and coming back, Margaret finally thought of Yu Fei's purpose here.
Of course I want to see the famous Yongle blue and white porcelain with my own eyes. Yu Fei said matter-of-factly: I'm not afraid to tell you, I am also a porcelain collector, especially the blue and white porcelain of Yongxuan, oh. You may not know the relationship between Yongle and Yongxuan
.In fact, it is very simple. Yongle is the Yongle Emperor Zhu Di, and Yongxuan is two people. One is Emperor Yongle and the other is Emperor Xuande. Because the styles of porcelain of these two emperors were similar during their reign, they are often referred to as
The blue and white porcelain of this period are collectively called Yongxuan blue and white. But although I like Yongxuan blue and white very much, you also know that the price of blue and white porcelain of this period is on the high side. But I am short of money, and I am not like you who spend it without blinking an eye.
After losing 7 million pounds, aren't you worried that you will snap up a fake?
Yu Fei gradually wanted to bring the topic to this aspect. Because he was not familiar with Margaret, he could not speak intuitively. He had not authenticated it at close range, so he rashly said it was a fake and probably Margaret
Te didn't believe it, so he pretended that he wanted to see it to get a chance to observe it up close.
Margaret didn't expect that Yu Fei insisted on her completing the transaction on the spot just to take a closer look. She couldn't help but feel angry and funny. She really didn't know how to say that he was fine. She was so childish.
At this time, Sotheby's staff brought over the Yongle blue and white plum vase with folded branches and fruit patterns and the exquisite packaging box. As long as it passes the acceptance inspection, it can be packed into the box.
Wait. Let me take a look first. Yu Fei said quickly.
The staff member gave him a strange look, then turned to Margaret for advice.
Margaret nodded slightly. Seeing Yu Fei's eager look, she thought Yu Fei was really obsessed with Yongxuan Qinghua.
Yu Fei put on his gloves and carefully played with the huge plum vase in his hand, with a drunken expression on his face.
If you put aside personal emotions, just from the perspective of imitation skills, this Yongle blue and white plum vase with folded branches, flowers and fruits is definitely considered to be the best among the best. Just now, Yu Fei carefully looked at the plum vase with his naked eyes.
, just want to find a flaw that can be found without using the energy of chaos or relying on intuition.
But soon, he gave up, because the craftsmanship of this imitation plum vase was very high and basically exactly the same as the original, so Yu Fei didn't find anything wrong at all.
What should I do? Just forget it. Of course not
Yu Fei took a deep breath, turned to Margaret, and said seriously: Miss Margaret, with all due respect, this Yongle blue and white flower should be a fake.
Fake, oh, no, this is impossible. Margaret had an incredible expression on her face.
She was a frequent visitor to Sosby's, but because of her identity, she could only wear a veil every time she came. But even so, the auctioneer William recognized him at a glance. Based on her identity, Sosby's
How could he fool her with a fake?
If William knew that this Yongle blue and white plum vase with broken branches, flowers and fruits was a fake, he would never have photographed it for Margaret. Because this matter is very secretive, and if revealed, it would be a very big scandal. Because
The confidentiality work is very good, and only a few people at Sotheby's Auction House know about it. Of course, these people do not include William, because William is the auctioneer, and no matter how experienced he is, there is no guarantee that he will be in the auction.
There are some clues revealed at any time, which arouse people's suspicion.
Because of this reason, this fake Yongle blue and white flower actually got into Margaret's hands by mistake. If the top management of Sotheby's knew about it, I'm afraid they would regret it.
In fact, I really don’t believe that Sotheby’s actually auctioned a fake, but this is the fact and cannot be disputed, Yu Fei said.
Yu, do you have any evidence? Margaret still can't believe that all this is true.
Margaret, I know this fact is a little hard for you to accept, but please believe me, it is all true. I am a decent antique appraiser and a porcelain collector.
He has a very deep understanding and ability to identify porcelain. Yu Fei brags about it shamelessly.
Sir, please pay attention to your words and deeds. If you do this without providing evidence, we will sue you for defamation. Sotheby's staff said in shock and anger.
Don't worry, it can't be fake, and it can't be true if it's fake. Of course Yu Fei will not get entangled with a Sotheby's staff member.
He continued to turn to Margaret and said: On the surface, this Yongle blue vase is no different from the real thing, both in shape and inscription.
If that's the case, why did Mr. Sotheby's think it was a fake? Sotheby's staff asked reluctantly.
Margaret also showed a puzzled expression. Since this blue and white vase is said to be very well imitated in every detail, how did Yu Fei know about it?
Yu Fei had already thought of the answer to this question just now.
He snorted coldly and showed a confident smile. His determination made Sotheby's staff lose confidence. He was not an insider of the Yongle blue and white fraud, but Yu Fei's expression alone made him shaken.
Is this Yongle blue and white piece really a fake? It's impossible. It's absolutely impossible. It's definitely a young man bluffing. How can he tell the authenticity at such a young age? I think it's just a way to attract attention. But the audience is naturally
This beautiful woman in front of me really wants to eat swan meat.
Sir, your remarks have damaged the reputation of our Sotheby's auction house. I ask you to apologize to us. The staff member became brave and said to Yu Fei, puffing up his chest.
Yu Fei smiled slightly and said confidently: "Don't worry about this, I have already found the reason."
Not only Sotheby's staff, but also Margaret were surprised.
Surprised by the noise behind them, many people turned their heads and looked at the three people. They didn't know what was going on here.
Yu Fei cleared his throat and said: Everyone, please wait a moment. I can confirm that this Yongle blue and white plum vase with broken branches, flowers and fruits is a fake.
Suddenly, the entire auction hall went crazy. To be continued...
