Chapter 569 So Powerful?
Chapter 569 So Powerful?
Teacher Ren's aunt couldn't help being taken aback when she heard the words, she turned her head, looked at Zhang Wei with a slightly strange look, and asked.
"Xiao Zhang, do you even know antiques?"
Seeing his aunt's suspicious look, Zhang Wei knew that she didn't quite believe what he said.
It's no wonder, after all, this imitation rhinoceros horn tripod is really good in terms of appearance and workmanship, and the age proof can be found from some traces. Experienced people also think it is a treasure. Such antiques are often It is the scourge that caused some people to lose their money by cheating.
However, due to the opening of the business, the maximum loss is 1000 yuan, and it will not be much, but it must be uncomfortable to spend a thousand to buy something that costs tens or hundreds of yuan.
Faced with his aunt's puzzled expression, Zhang Wei smiled lightly and said.
"Auntie, I don't play with antiques very much, but I think this antique is actually similar to seeing a doctor. Look, what does Chinese medicine pay attention to when seeing a doctor? Looking, smelling, asking, and cutting. And what about antiques? After all, it's just these things means."
"Some people seem to be vomiting blood and coughing, thinking that it is a serious illness, but in fact it is just a torn vocal cord. This antique is actually the same. On the surface, it looks unique in workmanship, and the material is excellent. It has texture, but its essence is not the case at all.”
"Well, what you said makes sense."
My aunt heard Zhang Wei's flickering, and felt that it seemed quite interesting. Originally, she wanted to ask Zhang Wei a few more words, but at this time, a voice came from her ear.
"Brother, please tell me which rhino horn tripod I want."
Auntie looked around, and saw a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses pointing at the rhinoceros horn tripod that Auntie had taken a fancy to just now, and said to the waiters in charge of watching the venue.
"Ah, Mr. Wang has been watching for so long, and finally made a move!" A middle-aged man laughed heartily.
Immediately, many people around looked at the rhinoceros horn cauldron in unison.
Obviously, this Mr. Wang is also a well-known person in the industry, and the things he likes must naturally be of some value.
"Mr. Wang, then I will get the appraisal from the expert platform for you now?"
The staff member was very respectful to this elegant-looking Mr. Wang.
Mr. Wang nodded and said, "Well, send it over, this is my ticket to participate."
As Mr. Wang said, he took out ten [-]-yuan local gold bills from his wallet and handed them to the staff.
The staff took it with a smile, tapped it lightly, and put it backstage. Then, they took the beautiful rhino horn tripod off the shelf, and carefully held it in front of the four experts.
"It seems that Mr. Wang is very confident. This rhino horn tripod looks really exquisite and has a royal feel. As for whether it is genuine or an antique craft, then we will wait and see."
The boss of Sihui Zhaidao saw that the first selection of items had been born, so he couldn't help but said with great interest.
When this rhino horn tripod was placed on the expert appraisal table, almost all eyes were fixed on it, as if they had already seen the birth of a priceless antique.
"Oh, it's a step too late." Seeing this, the aunt couldn't help but glance at Zhang Wei and sighed.
Although my aunt didn't say anything, Zhang Wei knew that at this moment she must be blaming herself a little bit. If she hadn't interrupted her just now, she might have already bought this rhinoceros horn tripod, but now she let others take the lead.
"Auntie, don't worry, this thing is a wooden imitation at all, not a real rhinoceros horn cup, it's worthless, it's just rubbish, if you don't believe it, you'll know when the expert appraises it later." Zhang Wei couldn't help but smiled slightly, and said to his aunt.
"is it?"
My aunt didn't quite believe it.
Zhang Wei also knew what my aunt was thinking at the moment, so he didn't say anything. When the result was revealed, my aunt would definitely thank him.
The price of the ticket seems to be very cheap compared to antiques, but if you only buy a fake thing worth tens of dollars, it is a fake if you don't feel bad about it.
"The rhinoceros horn tripod you chose is simple and generous in color, fine in workmanship, and has the traditional style of the Ming Dynasty. The inner and outer edges of the mouth and the foot wall are engraved with back patterns, and the body is decorated with flat and convex Taotie patterns on the inside and outside of the mouth and in high relief. Two mighty red dragons..."
"Expert, can you just talk about the main points? We don't understand these things at all. You just need to tell me the age of this thing and how much it's worth."
In the crowd, most people were confused by the expert's careful explanation, and the other party just said a few key points before being interrupted directly.
"That's right, that's right, as long as you experts know these details." Someone immediately echoed.
Holding the rhinoceros tripod, the expert smiled helplessly, glanced at the boss of Sihui Zhaidao, and nodded.
"Okay, since you guys don't want to listen to my detailed explanation process, then I'll tell you the result directly."
Immediately, everyone present pricked up their ears again, like rabbits, listening carefully to the expert's answer, all wanting to know whether this thing is worth money.
Of course, the one who pays the most attention is Mr. Ding Ding Wang, who is the pick of the rhinoceros.
Although he is considered a well-known figure in the antique world, he is definitely not as professional in appreciating ancient times as these old experts, so his heart is also aroused at this moment.
"This rhino horn tripod is actually a fake, but its workmanship is fine, the material is not bad, and it has a certain collection value. But there is still a big gap from the real rhino horn tripod." The old expert explained with a smile, and put it down The rhino horn tripod in the hand.
The staff immediately took the rhino horn tripod away and held it to Mr. Wang.
"Oh, I didn't expect this exquisite thing to be just a fake. I didn't expect Mr. Wang to be mistaken sometimes."
"It's hard for anyone to tell. Who can guarantee that the one you choose is the real one? After all, the current methods of counterfeiting are too clever."
The crowd of onlookers had already started talking about it.
Mr. Wang shook his head and gave a wry smile, "I never thought I'd run an antique shop for half my life, and I would sometimes miss it. It's really a life of hunting geese, but I was pecked at by geese."
A mere thousand dollars is nothing to him, even a worthless antique, but if this thing turns out to be a fake in his hands, his reputation will definitely plummet.
Many well-known experts recognized by the industry are often confused because of some tricky workmanship, and their reputation is discredited.
You must know that reputation is very important in their business, and sometimes it is because of a reputation that it can lead to a lot of business.
These businesses are big ones, and there are dozens or hundreds of transactions.
"Haha, Mr. Wang sometimes misses it."
"Oh, it's really a worthwhile trip, and it's worth the trip to watch the excitement."
A well-known person in the industry actually bought a counterfeit, and the expressions on the faces of the crowd were wonderful, some were gloating, some were sympathetic, and some didn't care.
But Mr. Wang turned into the crowd with a disheveled face and left in a hurry, he had no face to stay here any longer.
In fact, this is not to blame Mr. Wang for being too good, but it should be said that the boss of Sihui Zhaidao is clever.
When he held this event at the beginning of the store, he must have considered that some people in the industry would come to join in the fun, so the things he brought out had to be carefully considered a few times, or it was all luck, how could it be so easy to give away one Hundreds of thousands of babies?
"How is it? Auntie, am I right?" Zhang Wei smiled when he saw this.
The aunt turned her head, looked at Zhang Wei in disbelief, and said in surprise.
"Xiao Zhang, I can't see it, you are really amazing. How did you know that the rhino horn tripod is a fake? That one looks so much like the rhino horn tripod from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, no matter the workmanship or the traces of old work."
Zhang Wei smiled faintly.
"Didn't I tell you before? Looking at antiques is actually similar to seeing a doctor. What you see may not be real. You must go to the pulse yourself to know the authenticity of this thing."
"Well, since you have such a good eye, Xiao Zhang, you can choose one for me later."
My aunt smiled faintly when she heard the words, but she already believed in her heart that Zhang Wei must be a master at playing antiques. With such a master by her side, she would naturally not let him go.
My aunt has a husband who likes antiques. He has been exposed to a lot of gold and stone paintings, so he still has considerable experience in the antique industry.
So when Zhang Bi said that the rhino horn tripod was a fake, my aunt naturally didn't believe it.But when the result came out, she had to be convinced.
My aunt has always been very confident in her vision. Now it seems that she is really watching the sky from the bottom of a well. There are many masters, and her future niece and son-in-law are obviously such masters.
At this time, my aunt took another fancy to a Buddha head, pulled Zhang Wei, and said, "Xiao Zhang, what do you think of that Buddha head?"
"You mean that unremarkable old stone placed at the bottom?"
After Zhang Wei asked clearly, his eyes gradually focused, and he carefully observed the dirty-looking Buddha head.
Some stone chips had peeled off the surface of the Buddha's head, and one of the glasses was also destroyed, and the weathered appearance and eyes showed signs that it might be broken at any time.
"This Buddha head can be regarded as a collection value, but its composition is not very good. Although it is something from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, because there are no outstanding highlights, the workmanship is also considered average, and it can only be an ordinary mountain temple work, so it is valuable. Not very high."
"So sure?"
Seeing Zhang Wei's eloquent words, my aunt looked at Zhang Wei with a glimmer of expectation.
"Since you are so good, Xiao Zhang, Auntie will trust you once, and you can choose one for Auntie."
Zhang Wei smiled when he heard this, but in fact, what he said was outside the school, it was impossible to tell why the master made this thing, and under whose order it was made.
