What Zhuang Sheng said is actually a magic bullet. You can't say that he is unreasonable. It's just that most of you understand this truth. What he said is so mysterious that everyone sitting here nodded.
Zhou Zichen took out the schedule of the conference and looked at it. The speech lasted for one and a half hours, with an hour for lunch in between, and four hours of antique appreciation. Zhou Zichen shook his head repeatedly.
Zhuang Sheng was invited by someone else. In fact, their main purpose is to attract people through Zhuang Sheng. They say they are antique appreciation, but in fact they are selling antiques. Those who can come are all wealthy people. This time, making money from antique appreciation is
definitely.
Zhuang Sheng's speech made Zhou Zichen feel sleepy. Li Tingfeng saw this and pushed Zhou Zichen: "Master Zhuang Sheng's speech is not attractive? I heard it makes sense."
Zhou Zichen opened his eyes and said: "These are all ambiguities and snake oil. You certainly sound reasonable. Anyone who can achieve what he said is a master. He didn't say that at all.
Something of practical significance.”
Li Tingfeng also knew something about antiques. After hearing this, he thought about it carefully and realized that it was indeed as Zhou Zichen said: "Master Zhuang Sheng has some skills. I know him well. He is very accurate in reading antiques."
"It's not that he has no ability. He really has no ability. There is no way he could have gotten to where he is today. It's just that what he said in his speech was not of much use." Zhou Zichen said.
"Fuck, it's so dark!" Li Tingfeng couldn't help but sigh.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Zichen asked after seeing Li Tingfeng's appearance.
Li Tingfeng explained: "These invitations are actually purchased. Even if acquaintances come to support us, they still have to buy them from the organizer. There are 10,000 of them."
Zhou Zichen was also stunned for a moment. The invitation to love was the ticket. Looking at the people present, there were about 200 people. The ticket fee alone made about 2 million.
But having said that, this is also someone else’s ability. Zhou Zichen smiled and said, “This is also someone else’s ability.”
"The problem is that he doesn't teach real things, so the money is wasted." Li Tingfeng said: "Zhuang Sheng helped me identify a jade Buddha before. I came here because of my past acquaintance and his reputation."
."
During the speech, Li Tingfeng and Zhou Zichen talked in low voices almost the whole time, not listening carefully at all.
The speech ended at exactly twelve o'clock, and it was time for dinner. The organizer had arranged this very well.
After the meal, everyone was invited to another hall. There were more than 300 antiques in this appreciation meeting. Zhou Zichen took a general look and found that there were many exquisite antiques, but the prices were already very high, and they could easily cost millions.
.
Zhou Zichen is not very interested in the antiques here, because there is no possibility of making money from the things here.
Because Li Tingfeng was still socializing, Zhou Zichen was too embarrassed to leave first, so he simply found a place and sat down to wait for Zhou Zichen.
Zhou Zichen was bored when Li Tingfeng came over with a copper coin: "Zichen, show me, what do you think of this copper coin?"
Zhou Zichen took it and looked at it. On the front of this copper coin, "Xianfeng Chongbao" was written from top to bottom and from right to left. On the back, "Qing Dynasty" was written on the top and "One Hundred" was printed on the bottom. There were two characters on the left and right sides.
a symbol.
The coating of this copper coin is intact, and it looks like a fine product at first glance. I turned on the power and took a look. It glowed with white light. It must be a fake: "How much does it cost?"
"Four million." Li Tingfeng asked: "Really or not? There are very few copper coins like this."
Zhou Zichen returned the money to Li Tingfeng: "This copper coin is the same money, but it is a fake."
"Fake? Han Yu has seen it and said it is genuine." Li Tingfeng explained: "Han Yu is Zhuang Sheng's apprentice and is somewhat famous in the antiques industry."
Zhou Zichen smiled faintly and said: "Famous people are also eye-catching. This must be fake."
"Oh..., you are so brazen then, how come this copper coin is fake?" a voice said with a little displeasure.
Zhou Zichen raised his head and looked at the speaker, who turned out to be Li Yao.
Zhou Zichen and Li Yao were not familiar with each other, but Li Yao was considered a celebrity in Jiangdong City, and because of Li Jiangyi's relationship, Zhou Zichen also paid special attention to him, so he recognized him at a glance.
If it were someone else, Zhou Zichen might have saved some face for him. If it were Li Yao, he was destined to be his sworn enemy. Zhou Zichen said unceremoniously: "If you don't believe it, you can buy it."
"I believe Brother Han Yu, I bought this copper coin." Li Yao said angrily, and actually asked the staff to wrap the copper coin.
"Didn't you say that this copper coin is fake? Then you asked, why is it fake?" Li Yao has long regarded Zhou Zichen as a thorn in his side. As long as he can find an opportunity to make Zhou Zichen unhappy, he will not
Let go, if Zhou Zichen can be put to death, that is what he wants to see most. However, the police in Jiangdong City have a close relationship with Zhou Zichen, and he does not dare to do anything to Zhou Zichen in Jiangdong City.
Zhou Zichen was not polite: "The patina of this copper coin is very good. The patina was plated out by people. The other one is this copper. If you don't believe it, you can go and test it. The purity is not high. If you don't believe it, you can go and test it.
"
Li Yao retorted: "It's a good thing that you are still famous in the antique shop, so why do you call it 'intelligent eye'? The smelting technology in ancient times was low, and copper coins originally contained other metals, so the purity was naturally not high."
Zhou Zichen looked at Li Yao as if he were an idiot: "You don't understand but you still pretend to understand. If you don't believe me, try using a magnet. It will definitely move the copper coin. The copper coins in the Qing Dynasty were all lead-added, and the magnet cannot attract them."
Zhou Zichen and Li Yao's argument immediately attracted many people to watch. After all, both of them have a certain reputation in the antique circle of Jiangdong City.
Li Yao said disdainfully: "Ignorance, many copper coin minting bureaus are guarded and stolen, and metals such as iron and cobalt are added to them, so it is normal for magnets to attract."
People around him also echoed: "Indeed, not only the Qing Dynasty, but also the money affairs of many dynasties were like this."
"I think this copper coin is also genuine. The coating is very good. It is a rare and exquisite product."
"Yes, four million. It's not expensive, but it's still a lot of money. I guess this is the only one in the world."
Li Tingfeng was afraid that Zhou Zichen would suffer a loss, so he hurried in to smooth things over: "Mr. Li, you have an experienced eye, and what you say makes sense. Why don't you help me take a look at that piece of jade."
But Li Yao did not give Li Tingfeng any face: "You can ask Zhou Zichen to look at it for you. He is our 'smart eye' in Jiangdong City. I don't dare to do anything in front of him."
Zhou Zichen directly pushed back: "You are already doing your best."
"It's so lively here. Is this Zhou Zichen, Master Zhou?" Zhuang Sheng also came over at this time, but when he spoke, there was a hint of ridicule.
"Master Zhuang, this is just a misunderstanding." Li Tingfeng saw that Zhuang Sheng's tone was not kind. Even though what just happened made him very embarrassed, he still stood up and wanted to save Zhou Zichen.
"Misunderstanding? I don't think so. The copper coin that Mr. Li bought seems to me to be genuine, but Master Zhou is trying to flatter others by claiming it is a fake. This is really a bit much!" Zhuang Sheng kept talking about Master Zhou.
But the tone gradually became disdainful and mocking.
Zhou Zichen pulled Li Tingfeng: "Tingfeng, it's okay. I'm just going to argue with them about whether this copper coin is real or fake."
"Okay! I'm all ears." Li Yao saw that the current situation was good for him, and he was not afraid of Zhou Zichen's comeback at all. Whether it was Zhuang Sheng's words or the words of the antique players around him, they were all aimed at him.
Zhou Zichen pointed to the copper coins on the side: "This is what kind of money, right? The Xianfeng Chongbao was minted starting from the third year of Xianfeng's reign. It is rare in the world..."
"Tell us something we don't know. You show off what you know and waste everyone's time. Who among the people present is not making money every day and has the time to listen to you show off these things?" Li Yao said.
Zhou Zichen looked directly at Li Yao: "No one taught you not to interrupt others when they are talking?"
"You...hum...ok, just say it." Li Yao was speechless by Zhou Zichen.
Zhou Zichen continued: "Not many Xianfeng heavy treasures were minted, and even fewer were forged. When ordinary copper coins were first minted, few officials dared to tamper with them."
"And this one is a kind of money, so the possibility of them tampering with it is very small. Besides, those officials are not stupid. How much money is there, and they will risk being beheaded because of a few pieces of money? So?
, The sample money is basically made in accordance with the regulations of the current dynasty, and it is almost certain that there is no possibility of fraud. You can search all the sample money in the past to see if there is any fraud, there is definitely not."
When Zhou Zichen said this, everyone realized that the sample money was for the superior officials, even for the emperor, and for the future casting of samples. It was impossible to fake it, and no one dared to do it.
But at this time, Zhuang Sheng was on Li Yao's side, and no one was sure that what Zhou Zichen said was correct.
After listening to Zhou Zichen's words, Zhuang Sheng realized that he had been negligent. As long as he looked a little more carefully, such an obvious loophole would definitely be visible.
Everyone looked at Zhuang Sheng and Li Yao, but both of them had nothing to say now. Everyone gradually understood that Zhou Zichen had probably spotted it correctly, and Zhuang Sheng and Li Yao had missed the point.
Already.
At this time, Li Tingfeng saw that Zhou Zichen had the upper hand, and he quickly asked the waiter for a magnet: "You will know if it is true or not, just try it with a magnet."
"That's right!" Seeing Li Tingfeng taking the lead in picking up the magnets, the people around him also started cheering.
"That's right. I'm also curious as to whether this kind of money is real or fake."
"I guess it's a lie. Zhuang Sheng and Li Yao stopped talking. Master Zhou must have been right."
People around were talking a lot. Li Tingfeng walked aside, took out the copper coins from the box, put them on the table, and then used a magnet to attract them.
Everyone looked at the magnet and wanted to see if it would move.
The magnet was getting closer and closer to the copper coin. The copper coin moved and half of it left the table. However, the iron content inside was not high and it could not be completely sucked up. This was enough to prove that the copper coin was fake.
