Put on your white gloves and pick up the magnifying glass! After Mr. Hong put the jade pot spring bottle on the table, Liu Dong picked it up again and looked at it carefully.
In the antique industry, there are many rules. Especially for fragile porcelain, pottery, jade, etc., you should pay more attention when passing hands. It is definitely not like handing things over as usual. Instead, wait for the first person to put it down first, and then think about the next one.
Only those who are watching can take it! This is also to facilitate the differentiation of each other's responsibilities in case a mistake causes damage to valuable antiques!
Returning to the topic of the book, when Liu Dong picked up the jade pot spring vase and looked at it with a magnifying glass, with his current appraisal ability, he could not find any flaws in the jade pot spring vase!
But fortunately, Liu Dong still has the treasure at the bottom of the box, ‘Relic Yuanguang’!
With its help, Liu Dong easily found the flaw! But Liu Dong was obviously not the first person to discover this flaw, because the guy who found the flaw before had already covered it up! If not
Liu Dong's 'Relic Yuanguang' has the ability to see through, and it can be so detailed that it is almost impossible to detect!
Even if ordinary people don't look carefully, no matter how expert you are, you won't be able to find this flaw.
However, now that he was confident, Liu Dong put down the jade pot spring bottle and exhaled!
"How is it?" Mr. Hong asked first.
The eyes of the other people around him were also focused on Liu Dong's face. Even though they didn't think that their ability in porcelain appraisal would be inferior to that of Liu Dong, a junior student. But what was on the table at this moment was a piece with an absolute market price.
National treasure-grade porcelain worth no less than 60,000 Chinese coins!
Even if there are only a few flaws, or the disapproval of peers, it will directly affect their confidence in purchasing this piece of porcelain!
"Fake!" Facing everyone's attention, Liu Dong sentenced this jade pot to spring bottle without hesitation!
"Wow...!"
Not surprisingly, Liu Dong's conclusion caused an uproar among everyone.
"This jade pot spring vase is fake, how is it possible? All the characteristics are in line with the characteristics of the Hongwu jade pot spring vase, how can it be fake?"
"Yeah, I just looked at it for a long time and didn't find any flaws!"
"Quiet!" Mr. Hong shouted loudly. Although the volume was not high, it suppressed all the noise in an instant.
"Young man Liu, this is no joke! Are you sure this Ming Hongwu jade pot and spring bottle is a fake?" Mr. Hong asked again with a serious look.
"certainly!"
"Impossible! Before coming to China, I had asked Mr. Hiroaki Mitsui, the most famous porcelain appraiser in Japan, to look at this Ming Hongwu jade pot spring vase. Here is the appraisal certificate issued by him, so my jade pot spring vase
The bottle is real!" Uda Tagang, who had walked to the center of the crowd at some point, fiercely refuted Liu Dong's words.
And in order to win people's trust, he actually took out the appraisal certificate from his bag!
Mitsui Hiroaki's name Liu Dong is not unfamiliar either. He is indeed a master of appraisal who specializes in porcelain, and his appraisal conclusion is indeed written on this appraisal certificate!
"Boy Liu, I have met Hiroaki Mitsui several times and know his handwriting. This identification certificate is authentic!" Mr. Hong said after taking a few glances.
After Hong Lao finished speaking, the hesitation in Uda Takang's eyes suddenly disappeared, and the complacency and pride on his face immediately became thicker.
Although it is annoying, as long as he really sells this Ming Dynasty Hongwu underglaze red jade pot spring vase worth thousands of gold now, everyone will tolerate it!
Of course, this does not include Liu Dong!
After taking the appraisal certificate from Mr. Hong's hand and looking at it for a few times, Liu Dong put it on the table.
"Since Mr. Uda believes that this jade pot spring bottle is a treasure of the Hongwu Dynasty, and he has the appraisal certificate of Mr. Hiroaki Mitsui, why not trade it directly in Japan instead of traveling all the way to China? This is a bit unfair.
It’s so common sense!”
When Liu Dong finished speaking, the people around him reacted instantly!
"Yes, little Japan has much more money than we do! There must be no need to worry about buyers for such good things. How could he be willing to bring things to China to sell?"
"That's right! This Uda Takayoshi is still Japanese!"
Because of the war half a century ago, although the official relationship between China and Japan is still relatively close, the hostility among the people has not weakened!
Given the Japanese's admiration for Sinicization and their desire for Chinese art, how could a pure Japanese bring China's national treasures to China for sale?
It doesn’t feel normal even if you imagine it!
Seeing the suspicious looks on everyone's faces, Uda Tagang felt a little panicked. He never thought that Liu Dong's attack was not on porcelain, but on common sense! This was obviously beyond his expectation!
"Why I brought it to China is my business, and I don't need to explain it to Mr. Liu! Moreover, this is an antique exchange. If Mr. Liu can't find the flaws in my porcelain, then please apologize to me. You
The remarks just made may have caused me a lot of reputation and even financial losses!" Uda Taka said to Liu Dong with a serious expression.
However, he deliberately avoided Liu Dong's previous questions, which obviously showed his cowardice. At the same time, he also planted a seed of doubt in the hearts of everyone around him.
"Okay, since Mr. Uda said so, let me talk about this porcelain!" After a slight smile, Liu Dong turned to the people around him and said, "Who has turpentine or wind oil essence?"
"I have it! I have it too!" After Liu Dong finished speaking, many people around him raised their hands.
It's not October yet, the weather is still very hot, and there are not many mosquitoes, so many people carry Fengyoujing with them.
After finding Fengyoujing, Liu Dong took out a piece of white cotton from his pocket!
"etc!"
Just when Liu Dong was about to take action, Uda Tagang shouted quickly.
"What? Mr. Uda regrets it?" Liu Dong stopped and asked instead.
"Regret? How could it be! I just want to declare to Mr. Liu in advance that if my priceless jade pot spring bottle is damaged due to Mr. Liu's fault during the appraisal, then Mr. Liu must follow its market value afterwards.
Compensation for the original price!" Uda Tagang said solemnly.
"Okay, no problem! But the premise is that this jade pot spring vase is indeed Hongwu underglaze red in the Ming Dynasty!" Liu Dong said.
“My porcelain is of course a genuine Ming Dynasty Honghu glaze red jade vase!”
"Haha, Mr. Uda doesn't have the final say on this alone!"
After finishing speaking, Liu Dong ignored the comments around him, stretched out his hand to unscrew the cap of Fengyoujing, and poured some onto the white cotton cloth. He turned the jade pot spring bottle and after touching it, the white cotton cloth in Liu Dong's hand suddenly
Cover it, and then wipe it with your right hand with a little force.
Fengyoujing or turpentine can remove paint. This is something that many appraisers know, so they paid special attention after seeing Liu Dong's actions.
"Mr. Liu, I don't know how long it will take you, do you want us to keep waiting?" About five or six minutes later, Uda Takayoshi, who was already deeply disappointed by Liu Dong's actions, couldn't help but said.
"Mr. Uda, why should you be anxious? It's not too late now. It's okay to wait for more than ten minutes?"
Before Liu Dong could speak, Mr. Hong had already replied for him.
And with Mr. Hong's rich experience, he naturally knows how long it will take to soften and remove the hardened paint.
"Mr. Hong taught you a lesson!"
Facing the lofty and respected Hong Changshan, Uda Takayoshi did not treat him well and spoke rudely to him, otherwise he would never want to enter the Chinese antiques circle again!
At this time, Liu Dong no longer paid attention to Uda Takayoshi, who was anxious in his heart. Instead, he concentrated on doing his own things.
After about five or six minutes, Liu Dong took off the cotton cloth and looked at the jade pot spring bottle, then smiled and said: "Okay!"
"Really found it?" Mr. Hong asked.
"Well, please take a look!"
Taking the magnifying glass handed over by Liu Dong, and under his guidance, Mr. Hong quickly saw the traditional Chinese character 'Cheng' in the dark texture adjacent to the leaves at the mouth of the jade pot spring vase!
"Cheng Fang?"
After taking a look at the pale and panic-stricken Uda Tagang, Liu Dong smiled and said: "Old Master Hong is right, it is Cheng Fang! It was just that it was cleverly covered up with the same color paint before. Because
The area is small and the location is inconspicuous, so it doesn’t attract anyone’s attention!”
After watching for a long time, Mr. Hong put down the jade pot and spring vase, patted Liu Dong's shoulder with admiration, and said with a smile: "Old Li has taught a good apprentice! But you can be regarded as better than the old man.
He's much more capable than that old guy! He doesn't have the ability to identify 'Cheng Fang'!"
"You are too old! I am also young and have good eyesight, so I happened to discover it! Compared with the real appraisal ability, there is a big gap between me and Mr. Li!" Liu Dong said humbly.
This is his truth. If it weren't for the help of the relic Yuanguang and his identification skills, he wouldn't be able to identify it as the famous 'Cheng Fang' no matter how long he had two eyes!
"Okay, stop being so modest, kid! There's nothing wrong with young people being capable!"
"yes!"
After talking to Liu Dong, Mr. Hong ignored the appraisers around him who were vying to see the 'Cheng Fang', and turned to the pale Uda Takayoshi and said, "Mr. Uda, do you have any questions now?"
After smiling awkwardly, Uda Takao hurriedly said: "No! Mr. Liu's appraisal ability is admirable! I just spent more than one billion yen in exchange for a fake, and I feel really sad!"
"This little devil can really pretend!" Chen Bao whispered in Liu Dong's ear.
However, this guy's whisper was not only heard by Liu Dong, but also by many people from the Capital Collection Association. Even Uda Takayoshi also heard it.
However, this old devil had some troubles in his heart, and he showed no emotion after Chen Bao finished speaking, as if he had not heard anything.
But Liu Dong saw the flash of hatred in his eyes. (To be continued.)
