Rubbing his eyes vigorously, Shopkeeper Zhao trembled with his right hand and reluctantly brought the magnifying glass to his eyes again.
At this look, there was a look of despair in his eyes. That's right... seven or eight cracks spread out from the center of the earring.
Although these cracks are covered up by the green of jade, if you look closely, even people who don't understand jade can see that there is something wrong with it, let alone someone like Shopkeeper Zhao who has been playing with jade for half his life?
"Crack? Lao Zhao, it's impossible, right?"
Shopkeeper Zhao's cry also made Nie Tianbao suddenly change his expression. He snatched the magnifying glass from Shopkeeper Zhao's hand and looked at another earring.
"Old...Old Zhao, could this...this thing have been stolen?"
Things cooked in the same pot will naturally not be treated favorably. Not only the pair of earrings, but also the Maitreya Buddha pendant has a problem. The ice cracks on it can be clearly seen without a magnifying glass.
"Boss, this thing is in your hands. I just saw it today..."
Shopkeeper Zhao immediately shied away from responsibility, saying that the two items had only been in the safe of the antique shop for more than an hour, and even if he cheated, he would not be that fast.
"No, this thing was collected by us!"
After holding the earring for a while, shopkeeper Zhao saw the mark he had left on the mithril. His face turned ashen, his throat felt sweet, and a stream of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
However, shopkeeper Zhao was completely unaware and murmured: "Boss, we were fooled. What that boy brought was a fake!"
In the stone market antique jade industry, shopkeeper Zhao is also a well-known figure, otherwise he would not have been hired by Nie Tianbao with a high salary.
But after playing with jade all his life, he was humiliated by a young man when he got old. Shopkeeper Zhao's internal organs were churning, his body went soft, and he fell to the ground.
"Hey, Lao Zhao, this...when someone didn't punch you in the eye, you...don't be so angry."
Ge Jun is a kind man. Seeing Shopkeeper Zhao's appearance, he quickly helped him to a chair and sighed: "I have heard for a long time before liberation that someone could turn stone into gold and produce high-quality fake jadeite. I originally thought it was a legend, but I didn't
I think it’s true…”
"Lao Ge... no, Teacher Ge, this... what is going on, please tell me quickly!"
After Nie Tianbao, who was standing aside, heard Ge Jun's words, he quickly grabbed Ge Jun's arm and said, "How can Jade be fake? This is simply impossible."
"I thought it was impossible before, but now that everything is here, what else is impossible?"
Ge Jun shook his head and said: "Before liberation, someone invented a recipe to boil low-quality jade in water at a certain temperature, and then add some chemical raw materials to wash away the impurities in the jade.
, making it of excellent quality, I only heard rumors from others, but I didn’t expect that this recipe is still preserved!”
Before liberation, Ge Jun lived with his father in the capital for a period of time and heard this rumor. However, he rarely came into contact with jade and had long forgotten it. Now that he saw the real thing with his own eyes, he recalled it.
"Is it that young man?"
Looking at the jade in front of him, a strange idea suddenly appeared in Ge Jun's mind, but he dismissed it immediately. This kind of work is definitely not something that a person of that age can do.
"You...you mean this thing is made of worthless jade?"
Nie Tianbao stared at Ge Jun with red eyes, and there seemed to be a fire burning in his heart. It wasn't that Nie Tianbao couldn't afford to pay the money, but the key was that he couldn't afford to lose this man in front of everyone!
Moreover, once word spreads about the fake goods he bought, Nie Tianbao will definitely be laughed at by everyone, whether he is in the industry or outside the industry. How can he have the face to hang around in the industry in the future?
"Yes, and it seems that the work is in a hurry..."
Ge Jun picked up the Maitreya Buddha pendant and looked at it for a while, then explained: "I heard that this kind of fake jade cannot be seen within a year and a half, but if it is still good a few days ago, Now it has changed. There must be something wrong with the process."
To say that Ge Jun has some real talent and knowledge, he saw the essence of the matter almost at a glance, and what he said was accurate.
According to the process in the recipe, the "jade" made, no matter whether it is planted with water or the structure inside, can at least last for a long time, and then it will slowly change color, but it will not crack so badly.
However, Qin Feng used high-temperature cooking at the same time in the two processes of removing impurities and dyeing, which greatly shortened the time, but also damaged the internal structure of the jade to the extreme.
Qin Feng himself had estimated that this thing could only last for three to five days at most, which was why he appeared on Hongqi Street immediately after finishing the "Jade".
"Old Nie, couldn't you have made this thing?"
Suddenly a sinister voice rang out from the crowd, "According to you, this thing is worth 1,000 to 8 million. If you really took the photo, it would be called fraud!"
There are still some people in Shishi who can't stand Nie Tianbao's actions. The person who spoke is called Wang Qifu. His family makes gold and silver jewelry. He originally wanted to sell some jade, but Nie Tianbao blocked the supply of goods. As a result, the two People can be regarded as forming a bridge.
Wang Qifu's words were a bit sinister, because there were many people in the venue who were preparing to bid today. As soon as he said these words, the faces of those people became unhappy.
These first batch of bosses who got rich after the reform and opening up did not necessarily care about money, but they were very concerned about face, and they were also most afraid of being deceived, which would make them look too brainless.
But Nie Tianbao's current behavior and his previous reputation, which was not very good, were suspected of deceiving them, so even the face of Boss Li of Tianhong Group became gloomy.
"Boss Nie, you invited us here, didn't you just want to take pictures of this worthless rock?" Seeing Nie Tianbao deflated, Wang Qifu felt very happy in his heart.
"You... surnamed Wang, please stop spitting like this!"
Nie Tianbao's face turned as red as pig liver, and the veins on his hands were exposed. He gritted his teeth and said, "I'm really sorry for you all. Nie is in trouble today. He was deceived by Xiao Xiao, but Nie didn't mean to deceive everyone..."
Nie Tianbao's heart was bleeding at this moment. Not only did he hate himself for not seeing the scam of "Ma Zibian", but he was defrauded of two hundred thousand yuan.
Nie Tianbao hated himself even more for why he didn't check it carefully before taking out the jade. If he found a flaw, he wouldn't lose face so much in front of the top businessman in Shishi City.
What makes Nie Tianbao most uncomfortable is that he will become a joke in the future jade market of Shishi.
After making such a big fool of himself, who would dare to buy jade from his store? Let’s not talk about the low-end market for the time being. Those people in the market who have the ability to consume top-quality jade will definitely not spend it in "Jade Stone Studio"
It's a penny.
"Okay, Brother Nie has known us for a few days. He probably didn't come here to fool everyone on purpose. Let's forget about it."
Boss Li of the Tianhong Group has a pretty good relationship with Nie Tianbao. Seeing him so embarrassed, he couldn't help but come out to smooth things over. From now on, they will still be in the stone market business, meeting each other without looking up, there is no need to mess up the relationship.
So stiff.
Changing the topic, Boss Li then asked: "Brother Nie, you are not doing business every day. Who could let you be fooled by this?"
As soon as Boss Li asked this question, the place suddenly became silent. Everyone knew that Nie Tianbao was cunning and cunning, and it was not easy to scheme against him.
"Yes... he is a young man."
Nie Tianbao's heart seemed to be grabbed, and he felt unspeakably uncomfortable. Thinking carefully about what happened the day before yesterday from beginning to end, he had to admit that he was like a puppet, being pulled by strings.
Pulled into the game little by little.
"Boss, we...we were all wrong!"
Shopkeeper Zhao, who was slumped in the chair, suddenly laughed bitterly and said: "The young man said that his name is Ma Zibian, which is a homophone for Bian. Ma Bian is a liar. He...he clearly told us that he...he is a liar."
ah!"
"What? Then...that kid is too bullying!"
Nie Tianbao, who was originally feeling a little calmer, felt as if he had been hit hard by a heavy hammer, and a mouthful of blood spurted out!
