But there is no need to rush this matter. After all, the store has just opened, and I can’t find time for training in the past few days. I will wait until the early heat has passed before choosing time to conduct systematic training. In this way, even if Qiao Meng is not around, he can
Very good service to customers in the store.
In fact, the most important point is that Qiao Meng not only wants these appraisers to share his pressure, but also considers that he will not be limited to this small place in the future.
If the store becomes bigger in the future and covers more and more areas, manpower allocation will be very scarce, so now he has to build a group of top and staunch teams loyal to himself to lay the foundation for future expansion, and he is not afraid of anyone.
Ability to exceed one's own identification level, because not everyone can have supernatural powers.
After the two discussed it, they did not rush to inform the appraisers in the store of their decision, but began to observe and see their performance.
"Seller, why does your blue and white fish and algae pattern jar look so fake? And your price is too high. Do you dare to sell a fake at such a high price and steal money?" At this time, a sharp voice asked.
The sound attracted the attention of other customers in the store.
Similarly, Qiao Meng and Ge Yuling, who were observing their employees, also looked towards the speaker.
This man is a middle-aged man, lean, with short hair, wearing a white long coat, holding a folding fan in his hand, and a pearly and round jade bracelet on his wrist, which makes him look stylish.
"Why do you say our porcelain is fake?"
When one of the appraisers saw an opportunity to express himself, he immediately stood up and accused the other party.
"Aping, don't be impulsive." Ge Yuling immediately stepped forward to smooth things over and said, "Sir, the people in the store are young and ignorant. I hope Haihan can do this."
Qiao Meng came up directly to confront the middle-aged man, "Sir, I don't know why you said that the blue and white fish and algae pattern jar in our store is fake? Are you a treasure appraiser?"
"You will know soon whether I am a treasure appraiser or not. If you want a reason, I will give you a reason so that everyone can see clearly what you have here."
This middle-aged man came menacingly, and his tone was even more arrogant. The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became solemn. More and more people came to watch outside the store, and the fellow bosses watched the show with great interest. Yesterday Qiao Meng
The opening caused a lot of noise in the streets, and people were making trouble today. They couldn't be happier.
Ge Yuling on the side looked a little worried. Although Qiao Meng's strength was very trustworthy, the fact that he looked so much older and full of confidence had to shock her confidence.
Qiao Meng was also wondering in his heart, who asked this person to cause trouble, or was there really something wrong with this piece of porcelain and he just pointed it out after seeing it?
Because there were many items in the store that were basically the same items from each of the two families, with Ge Yuling’s items being more numerous, so he didn’t have time to verify the authenticity one by one. What if it was true that it was fake as this person said?
Yes, then the reputation of his store is not that good.
After all, if it has been sold and someone else takes it back and finds it to be fake, then the store cannot be blamed. The store is only responsible for estimates, and the purchase and sale is determined by signing a contract.
But if you are caught selling imitation and fake goods in the store, then who will come to your store for pottery in the future?
Qiao Meng also felt that he had been too negligent. He quickly stepped forward to pick up the porcelain and quickly checked its authenticity with his thumb.
Pictures of the internal structure of porcelain kept turning over in Qiao Meng's mind, and material information and age information kept pouring into his consciousness.
His eyes rolled.
After only touching it for less than ten seconds, Qiao Meng already fully understood the information about this piece of porcelain. It turned out that there was something fishy in it. He smiled sarcastically and put the porcelain down.
"Sir, please tell me why this porcelain is fake." Qiao Meng said with a smile.
"good."
"First of all, we know that this is a piece of porcelain from the Yuan Dynasty, and the shape of Yuan blue and white porcelain is unique. Judging from the production process, there was a huge and thick body at that time. Although this Yuan blue and white porcelain with fish and algae patterns looks like this
, but this is only the simplest point of high imitation." The middle-aged man first said the most obvious features of this piece of porcelain.
"Please continue." Qiao Meng motioned him down.
"Next is the reason why I say this is a high imitation. The blue and white of Yuan blue and white porcelain are generally very transparent, a little hazy, the particles are distributed in different sizes, and the pits where the fetal bones are eaten are relatively concentrated." After a pause.
, the middle-aged man continued.
"But the blue and white on your Yuan blue and white does not seem to be transparent, and the halo is not visible. There are particles of different sizes, but they don't look so real, and the gathering pits of fetal bones are there."
The point is that it looks too scattered, so I decided that this one of yours is not the real thing, but a high imitation." The middle-aged man said it with reason and reason, and every time he said something, he pointed at the utensil so that the surrounding audience could clearly understand it.
See clearly in vain.
When he explained the reason carefully, some people present who had been playing antiques for some years began to believe the middle-aged man's words. Those who were watching closely compared the flaws he mentioned carefully, and they were completely correct.
.
This was a big deal. Many people immediately accused Qiao Meng and Ge Yuling of blatantly selling fake goods and raising prices to make money.
Ge Yuling was a little flustered by the chaos at the scene. She looked at Qiao Meng, hoping to get a definite answer from him. At this time, everyone also looked at him, hoping to get a reasonable explanation. Some of them
They want to see him unable to defend his reputation, and some people want to know how he will deal with this crisis.
"Everyone, please be patient. In fact, this is a misunderstanding. Of course, it is also my dereliction of duty. I will give you a satisfactory answer next." Qiao Meng did not delay and spoke first to calm the emotions of the crowd.
Then he took out an alkaline dilute solution from a tool box, poured it into a wooden basin, and put the whole porcelain into it.
"Please wait patiently for a few minutes." Qiao Meng asked seriously.
Everyone wanted to see what tricks he was going to play, but they didn't answer, but they all waited quietly. Even the middle-aged man who caused the trouble stood aside and watched patiently.
Soon, Qiao Meng took out the porcelain and began to gently wash it with a nylon brush dipped in soap. He asked Ge Yuling to get a basin of warm water, put the porcelain in it again, rinsed it, took it out, and then gently wiped the surface with a silk cloth.
of moisture and relocate it far away.
"Everyone, please look again."
A different scene immediately appeared in front of everyone. Although this porcelain was still the same porcelain just now, no matter the luster, the transparency of the blue and white, or the halo on it, it became clear, and the color of the blue and white became clearer.
The underglaze blue dots and ice hanging phenomenon are becoming more and more amazing.
"This is completely new. All the previous doubts have been completely overturned. It's amazing." Some people couldn't help but praise it.
"Yeah, there were so many flaws just now, but now it's so perfect." Someone else agreed.
"It's really different, what a porcelain!"
More and more people expressed their approval and recognition. Other employees in the store were shocked by Qiao Meng's move. Even some of the old employees who didn't approve of him began to recognize this young man after the blue and white porcelain showed his original appearance.
's boss.
Ge Yuling was even more pleased and gave Qiao Meng a trusting smile. The person she recognized was indeed right. Her appraisal ability was indeed understandable, and her calmness when dealing with problems was worthy of praise.
"Impossible? Why did you change like this just after washing?" The middle-aged man looked puzzled, but still couldn't believe what was happening in front of him.
"Sir, from what you just said, I know that you must be a treasure appraiser who has some research on blue and white porcelain. However, unfortunately today, this piece of Yuan blue and white porcelain was not displayed in front of everyone in its original appearance.
, so it is normal for the horse to stumble and identify errors.”
Qiao Meng did not belittle the other party because he restored the porcelain to its original appearance and won the debate about authenticity. Instead, he gave him a step down, because he still didn't know whether he was deliberately looking for trouble or whether he was unintentional.
So pointed out.
In any case, this time it was indeed Qiao Meng's mistake at work. If this treasure is really a high imitation as the middle-aged man said, then no matter how much he quibbles, the reputation of this store today will definitely not be preserved.
, I have to thank you for pointing out the problem in a timely manner. Besides, if such an experienced person is not as big an enemy as you can recruit into your own camp, it would be a good thing and you can have one more capable helper.
"But how do you know that the way it looked just now is not the original appearance it should have?" The middle-aged man still didn't understand the reason and asked.
When Qiao Meng was asked this question, he was stunned for a moment. At first, he really didn't think about how to answer it. It was impossible for him to say that he had special powers. He would know everything with just a touch of his thumb.
But as soon as he had an idea, he still found an excuse: "It's actually very simple, it can be touched. I just looked at and touched its surface texture, and found that the material on it is very similar to the surface texture caused by deposition in the dark for too long.
It was covered with other substances, so we took a series of cleaning measures just now. Unexpectedly, just as I felt, it was just covered with its original light."
"I see. I didn't expect that at such a young age you could tell the difference in texture through touch in such a short period of time. A hero comes from a young age." After knowing the reason, the middle-aged man sincerely admired Qiao Meng. In this moment
In this industry, those who are capable deserve respect.
Everyone present also gave warm applause to Qiao Meng and this newly opened antique store, expressing their affirmation of their genuine products and Qiao Meng's professional strength.
After today's storm has passed, this antique shop has truly gained recognition on this street, and its business will never be bad in the future.
