Chapter 901 Identification is a university question
When Wang Ke just walked towards the door, Ma Renlong's daughter-in-law sat down on the ground and cursed loudly: "Ma Renlong, you prodigal son, you have more than 200,000 yuan. If I don't divorce you, I will divorce you tomorrow. You and this
Just live your whole life with broken dishes, ah, I’m not going to live anymore..."
Wang Ke ignored the impending war between his cousin and his cousin-in-law and left without looking back.
Xue Chen also stood up at the right time, patted Du Tao on the shoulder, and walked outside. Until he left the door, Ma Renlong stood there with a livid face, wearing rough clothes and saying nothing.
When the two of them walked out of the door, they faintly heard Ma Renlong shouting: "It's just that, do you think I am willing to buy fakes..."
Seeing that Xue Chen had no unnecessary expression on his face and walked downstairs slowly, Du Tao couldn't help but asked: "Old Xue, what is going on? Didn't you say that the plate is real?"
Well, why did Wang Ke say it was false again? Did he say it wrong..."
Xue Chen turned around and asked: "When did I say it was true?"
"You clearly said..." Du Tao opened his mouth hurriedly, but paused mid-sentence, "You didn't say it was true, but you said it was good, not bad."
"Yes, I mean it's not bad, I mean it's a good imitation, it's just that you misunderstood." Xue Chen said calmly.
"It's a good imitation..." Du Tao almost cried, "Then you can't tell the whole story. Just say it's an imitation. Why do you have to go through such a big detour?"
"I'll talk to you later when I get back to the car downstairs." Xue Chen ignored Du Tao's questioning.
After going downstairs and outside the community, the two of them walked towards the car parked not far away. A brown Cadillac SUV happened to pass by. The car slowed down a little. The people in the car turned their heads and glanced at the two.
, with no concealed disdain and disgust, the driver was none other than the host Wang Ke.
Xue Chen had no reaction, but Du Tao was a little unnatural. He looked at the Cadillac driving away and scratched his head: "What is this?"
When the two returned to the Lamborghini sports car, Du Tao hurriedly said: "Now you can tell me what is going on. I am almost depressed to death."
"Okay, then let me tell you. First of all, when I do appraisals, I always only do it for people I know well. I won't read things from people I don't know well. If you hadn't said that Ma Renlong takes good care of you,
To be honest, I will not come back." Xue Chen said seriously.
"Why?"
"Oh, you think that doing an appraisal is just to take a look and tell whether it is true or false. That is correct, but in normal life, it is not that simple. Appraisal is a university subject."
"You may not understand what I said. Let me tell you a little story. Maybe you can understand. China is famous for its porcelain. From ancient times to the present, it has been very popular to collect and give away porcelain. This was also true during the Republic of China.
It was the birthday of a police chief, and senior people from all walks of life came to congratulate him. What was given the most was porcelain. After the birthday was over, the porcelain was piled up in the house, so he asked several pawnshop masters to do appraisals. If one
A master has identified a fake, what should he tell the director?"
"Tell the truth." Du Tao blurted out.
"But, you have to know who are the people who sent these porcelains. They are all well-known people, people from the upper class. At the worst, they may be the bosses of a certain street. Once you say that they are fakes,
If the matter spreads, won't it offend others? Maybe he will be beaten severely. If it were you, would you like to be beaten?" Xue Chen asked Du Tao.
"I, I definitely don't want to be beaten." Du Tao said slowly.
"So, smart people will say that something is good, very good, very beautiful, and the pattern is beautiful. They say all these ambiguous things, but never mention the truth or falsehood, just because they don't want to offend people. Even if they are investigated in the future, they can evade it.
He said that he did not determine whether it was true or false, so he said..."
Du Tao suddenly realized some problems and interrupted Xue Chen: "That's wrong, but Lao Ma is not a high official, so it's different from the story you told."
"Okay, let me ask you, if I tell you directly on the spot that this thing of yours is fake and not worth a thousand yuan, what will happen next?" Xue Chen glanced at Du Tao.
"What will happen..." Du Tao thought for a moment in his head and pursed his lips, "Lao Ma's wife will definitely go crazy, just like she did just now."
"From the moment you enter the living room, you can tell that this house is probably newly bought second-hand. The couple probably doesn't have much spare money. Moreover, the children should be in middle school and the expenses are not small. I just know that once I tell you, I will definitely let you
This colleague's family has had a lot of conflicts and disputes. It costs more than 200,000 yuan, and divorce is possible. Don't think I'm exaggerating. I've seen this kind of thing a lot."
"So I kept it secret and didn't say it directly. I just said, 'Not bad, not bad.' I didn't even say that I was not sure. Seeing that his wife is also a very shrewd person, once I said that, I would definitely guess that there was something wrong with the thing. I
I still want to have a good communication with your colleague after I leave, tell him about the matter, and ask him to find a way to cover it up. I also want to give him a few words. He can play for 1,800 yuan, but he can't play.
It's such a big deal, but I didn't expect that Wang Ke would come and say everything that should be said and shouldn't be said."
After listening to Xue Chen's inner considerations, Du Tao didn't know what to say. He scratched his head vigorously and finally sighed: "Oh, I didn't expect you to think so much and be so thorough. It's ridiculous that I still think about it."
I thought you made a mistake."
Xue Chen drove the car, looked at the road ahead, and then said: "I can't blame you. You don't understand this industry. Of course you can't expect so much. There are too many potential things in it. Only in-depth contact can you understand. Apart from me and
What you said, appraisal is a matter of opinion, because there are no detailed regulations and standards to clarify whether an antique is true or false. It is all based on experience. If you want to appraise something, I say it is fake, and another person
If it is true, who will you believe? You will definitely want to believe another person, because you hope that he is true, so you will think in your heart that I have poor eyesight, and people with small minds will be jealous."
Du Tao repeatedly said that he understood. He couldn't help but feel a headache when he thought of the quarrel between his colleague Lao Ma and his lover when he left: "Like you said, these two couples may really get divorced. Alas, it's all the fault of that Wang who came out halfway.
Ke, I'm not as thoughtful as you, and you looked at us with contempt just now on the roadside."
"Let's not talk about him. Since Lao Ma takes good care of you, it would be bad if you find a way to comfort these two people and prevent them from getting divorced."
"Okay, let me try." Du Tao really felt like he had a headache.
Xue Chen did not forget Zhuge Yi's invitation. He drove to Xianyun Teahouse half an hour in advance and walked into the teahouse under the guidance of the waiter.
There were only two people in the tea room at this time, Zhuge Yi and another old gentleman of the same age.
"Xue Chen, you came so early, please take a seat first. When everyone arrives, it won't be too late for me to introduce you." Zhuge Yi motioned for Xue Chen to sit down with his eyes.
After more than ten minutes, people kept walking into the tea room. Most of them were older, and the younger ones were in their forties. One or two of them had met Xue Chen before.
"I'm late." A round-faced old man walked into the tea room and said hello with a smile.
Xue Chen glanced sideways and was surprised to see someone following the old gentleman. Moreover, he had seen it today. It was none other than Wang Ke, the host of Beijing TV!
"Everyone is here. It's been a long time since we got together to drink tea and chat. Come, let me introduce you to Xue Chen. As I mentioned to you, Li Lingchun's Haoqi Zhai has been plated and opened.
In the antique shop, Xiao Xue is very capable, especially in the field of appraisal, I am ashamed of myself." Zhuge Yi said.
Hearing what Zhuge Yi said, everyone present looked at Xue Chen in surprise and looked up and down.
Xue Chen hurriedly said: "Mr. Zhuge, I don't dare to take this seriously."
Zhuge Yi did not argue, but he was not flattering Xue Chen, but after several contacts with him, he was indeed admired. Whether it was the relic pagoda or Tang Bohu's painting within the painting, they all surpassed him.
When Wang Ke heard that Zhuge Yi, who was well-known in the capital's antique circle and could be said to be one of the leading figures, praised Xue Chen so much, he frowned and sneered in his heart: "Is this Xue Chen Zhuge Yi?"
Relatives and juniors? But even if you want to praise him in public, it is too exaggerated. You can even misread the plate. Hmm, it’s ridiculous.”
Zhuge Yi introduced the people present one after another. There was really no one simple. There were people from the Forbidden City Cultural Relics Research Institute, directors from the Beijing Antiques Association, professors from the School of Liberal Arts at Renmin University, and the deputy director of the Beijing TV station...
…
"This is Mr. Wang Ke, the host of Beijing TV Station. He has done some research on identifying antiques." Zhuge Yi introduced.
Zhuge Yi's words were very appropriate, but Wang Ke felt uncomfortable listening to them, because when he introduced Xue Chen, he said that he felt inferior. When it was his turn, he just said that he was quite researched. Although there was nothing wrong with his evaluation, once there was a comparison,
It doesn't sound right.
"Mr. Zhuge, actually I have met this Mr. Xue, just today." Wang Ke's eyes moved and he said with a slight smile.
"Oh, really?" Zhuge Yi said unexpectedly.
"Well, it's this morning, what a coincidence." Wang Ke glanced at Xue Chen, "One of my cousins asked me to go to my house to appraise a piece of porcelain, and Mr. Xue happened to be there too..."
Wang Ke stared at Xue Chen as he spoke. He thought that Xue Chen would feel uncomfortable when he talked about what happened this morning in public. After all, it was very embarrassing to make such a low-level mistake. However, he did not get what he expected.
Xue Chen had an embarrassed expression on his face.
"That's it. What is the appraisal? Can you tell me?" Zhuge asked with a smile, while asking the waiter to pour tea for everyone. (To be continued)
