Mr. Qin listened with a smile on his face and his heart was full of joy.
He immediately asked:
"Shopkeeper Wang, can you give me an estimate of how much this amphora is worth?"
Shopkeeper Wang looked back and forth, thought for a moment, and said:
"In the market now, enamel colors are very popular, especially those from the Kangxi and Qianlong periods. I conservatively estimate that your bottle should cost between 80 million and 100 million. If it is kept for a few more years, the price will definitely increase. high……"
Mr. Qin's eyes lit up.
I also felt a little relieved.
My grandson is like a playboy.
Finally done something beautiful.
Shopkeeper Wang finished his words.
Zhong Yuansheng also immediately answered:
"This is indeed a good thing. If it goes up for auction, it will definitely cost no less than 100 million..."
The so-called auction refers to the auction.
Generally, good things will command a substantial premium at auction.
Qin Zhaotian was even more proud. He looked at Mr. Qin and said:
"Grandpa, our two major antique experts in Jiangcheng have said so. Can you rest assured this time?"
Mr. Qin nodded with satisfaction.
Saying that, Qin Zhaotian looked back at Xia Xiaoyu.
He snorted coldly and said disdainfully:
"Little liar, I originally didn't want to be acquainted with you. But you are my enemy in every fucking way. Now you are saying that my stuff is fake. Don't even think about leaving today. Let's settle old and new accounts together..."
I suffered many losses at the hands of Xia Xiaoyu.
Qin Zhaotian always wanted revenge.
Several security guards have arrived at the office door.
Just wait for Qin Zhaotianxia's order.
As soon as Qin Zhaotian finished speaking, Xia Xiaoyu suddenly sneered.
Glancing at the enamel amphorae on the table, he said slowly:
"Qin Zhaotian, you can't even understand people's words, can you? I didn't say that your stuff is fake. I just said that there's something wrong with your stuff!"
Xia Xiaoyu finished speaking.
Qin Zhaotian immediately cursed:
"Fart! You liar who is a beggar and a playboy, you know nothing! Security guard, tie him up right now!"
The security guard was about to move.
Zhong Yuansheng hurriedly stopped him and said:
"Don't move. Brother Xia, do you think there's something wrong with this bottle?"
Xia Xiaoyu didn't wait to speak.
Qin Zhaotian immediately became anxious, looked at Zhong Yuansheng and said dissatisfiedly:
"President Zhong, you are the president of our Jiangcheng Antiques Association. You and Shopkeeper Wang both said this is a good thing. Is it still necessary to ask this liar?"
Zhong Yuansheng glanced at Qin Zhaotian expressionlessly and said calmly:
"There is no limit to learning. The antique industry is full of authenticity and mystery. Not to mention me and Shopkeeper Wang, even famous collectors all over the world will inevitably have their eyes peeled. The more people watching, the more confident... …”
Zhong Yuansheng's words left Qin Zhaotian speechless and unable to refute.
Although Mr. Qin was in his heart, he didn't take Xia Xiaoyu seriously.
But after hearing what Zhong Yuansheng said, he agreed and asked Xia Xiaoyu to help take a look.
Go to the bottle.
Xia Xiaoyu didn't take action, but after looking at it for a few times, he said:
"This bottle is indeed a Qianlong enamel amphorae. It is real. However, it is a defective product!"
Xia Xiaoyu’s words.
Everyone in the office was shocked.
Especially Qin Zhaotian, he glared at Xia Xiaoyu and cursed loudly:
"Remnant? I think you are a fucking remnant! I don't need you to look at this thing. Get out of here right now, get out..."
Looking back at Qin Zhaotian, Xia Xiaoyu chuckled and asked:
"Qin Zhaotian, why are you so anxious? Are you afraid that I will expose your lie? You can't explain it to your grandfather, right?"
Xia Xiaoyu's words made Qin Zhaotian even more angry.
He was about to scold Xia Xiaoyu.
Mr. Qin suddenly raised his hand to stop Qin Zhaotian.
He hurriedly asked Xia Xiaoyu:
"This is obviously a complete amphorae, how can you say it is a defective product?"
The so-called leftovers.
It refers to the normal antiques that have been damaged and repaired later.
Many antique dealers sell scraps as good ones.
Use this to make profits.
Zhong Yuansheng immediately followed suit and said:
"Brother Xia, I also looked at this thing, and I didn't see any traces of repair. How did you judge that it was a defective product?"
Xia Xiaoyu smiled faintly, pointed at the ears of the bottle, and said directly:
"It's a good thing, but the left and right ears are spliced at the back. The splicing technique is also very clever. It's hard to tell just from the appearance..."
As soon as Xia Xiaoyu finished speaking, he saw shopkeeper Wang holding a bottle and asking angrily:
"You are talking nonsense! If it is spliced at the back, it should be easy to break off. Also, the carcass and glaze color of the ears are obviously from the Qianlong official kiln, and there is no trace of splicing at all! I see
You really don’t know how to pretend to understand, and you’re just talking nonsense..."
Shopkeeper Wang's words made Xia Xiaoyu couldn't help but laugh.
Looking at Shopkeeper Wang, he asked:
"Shopkeeper Wang, it's a shame that you have been immersed in the antique industry for so many years. If it can be broken off easily, it is not splicing, but adhesion. Also, the carcass and glaze color on the ears you mentioned are indeed from the Qianlong period.
However, in recent years, a lot of old glazes from the Qianlong period have been unearthed in some places. Many people will directly use this kind of old glaze when doing old work. In addition, there are no traces of splicing, because this counterfeiter used
The refire and refire method! It means repairing the two ears and then firing them again in the kiln..."
Zhong Yuansheng listened extremely seriously. When he heard this, he couldn't help but frown and asked:
"However, refiring and refiring can ensure that the porcelain is intact and no traces are left at the splicing joints. However, the carcass and glaze color of the previous bottle will definitely change due to the high temperature of refiring..."
Xia Xiaoyu immediately explained:
"This is even simpler. Just add a layer of protective glaze on the outside. This can not only protect the original glaze color, but also ensure the integrity of the splicing. However, this method has a drawback. It is that there will be left behind on the inside of the porcelain.
trace……"
With that said, Xia Xiaoyu pointed at the mouth of the bottle and continued:
"You can take a look at the inner mouth of this porcelain bottle, where it connects the ears. It should be uneven and slightly raised. This is the trace left when the kiln was fired for the second time. And there is no way to remove it..."
Xia Xiaoyu finished speaking.
Everyone was shocked.
Mr. Qin and Zhong Yuansheng looked into the bottle almost at the same time.
Looking at it, Mr. Qin's face was ashen. He murmured:
"This, this is really a remnant weapon..."
Zhong Yuansheng also sighed repeatedly and said with regret:
"What a pity, what a pity! Such a good thing turned out to be a remnant! It's my fault that I didn't expect that it was fired twice..."
Follow the rules of the antique market.
The price of a remnant utensil is only one-tenth of that of a complete utensil.
In other words, the amphora in front of me.
It can only be worth a few million. (To be continued)
