Chapter 138
When Hines came to the office, he didn't give him a good face when he saw Owen, and snorted coldly.

When I was at the Spencer Villa, the other party actually let me lie about the appraisal results. This is undoubtedly an insult to an appraiser who has been in the industry for more than 50 years and has a high professional ethics.

Hart briefly explained the matter, then pointed to the Yaobian Tianmu tea bowl on the table and asked him to start the appraisal.

As expected of a master appraiser, Hines immediately got into the mood and came to the table to concentrate on appraising.

Owen on the side didn't dare to make a sound, his heart was in his throat.

This was undoubtedly an appraisal that would determine his life or death. He was frightened just by frowning.

Fortunately, the most encountered situation did not appear. After observing carefully for more than ten minutes, Hines nodded at Hart, "It's true."

Director Owen breathed a sigh of relief: "Look at the curator, I just said it, it must be true, that Jiang Han is just spreading rumors."

Hart's face looked better, and he ordered the secretary to put away the Yaobian Tianmu tea bowl, and put it in the booth for exhibition.

The secretary came to the long table and carefully picked up the tea bowl, which felt heavy, as if he was holding more than 4000 million pounds.

When it was put into the glass cabinet, the tea bowl collided slightly with the bottom of the cabinet, and there was a faint crisp sound.

Hynes, who was about to leave, moved his ears, then stopped suddenly, and looked at the Yaobian Tianmu teacup in the cabinet suspiciously.

Owen's heart shuddered, and he suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

Heinz took out the teacup and put it next to his ear, and tapped his knuckles. The more he heard it, the more he felt something was wrong.

Seeing his strange behavior, Hart couldn't help asking: "Is there any problem, Mr. Hines?"

"Curator, there is something wrong with this teacup. Although it looks real, the sound is a bit wrong." Hynes said slowly.

There are many aspects to the identification of porcelain.

Such as appearance and shape, such as decorative painting.

However, these can only be used for simple identification, and it is impossible for a powerful counterfeiter to leave a loophole in this regard.

A professional appraiser will identify the true and false through the fetal quality and enamel.

This Yaobian Tianmu tea bowl still has no problems in this regard, so Hines concluded that it is true.

But the sound of knocking on the teacup just now made him aware that something was wrong.

The sound of real ancient porcelain will be dull after years of weathering, but this tea cup in front of me is not the case.

"Curator, if you want to know the authenticity of this cultural relic, I'm afraid you need a more comprehensive appraisal." After sorting out his thoughts, Hines informed Hart of his thoughts.

"Then call all the appraisers in our museum and use the equipment in the appraisal room to conduct a thorough inspection of this cultural relic."

The appraiser team of the British Museum is undoubtedly the top in the world.

In addition, in their identification room, there are the world's top analytical instruments.

These machines can accurately judge the age of the cultural relics through the materials removed from the cultural relics.

It can be said that after such a set of tests, the accuracy of the identification results is close to [-]%.

Of course, under normal circumstances, there is no need to make such a big move, and most experienced appraisers of fake cultural relics can identify them.

Even if some are extremely realistic, they cannot escape the eyes of a master appraiser like Hines.

Only in rare cases, when encountering the kind of cultural relics that cannot be identified as authentic and are very precious, will the British Museum be mobilized.

In the curator's office, Owen sat on the sofa with a nervous expression on his face.

In just a few 10 minutes, his mood was more exciting than riding a roller coaster, and at this time it felt like a year.

About an hour later, the door was pushed open and Hines walked into the office.

Owen Huo stood up suddenly, his eyes fixed on the appraisal report in his hand.

"Mr. Hynes, what's the result?"

Hart clenched his hands unconsciously, and he didn't want the things bought for more than 4000 million yuan to be fake.

Hines sighed: "I'm sorry, the curator, but I have to tell you some bad news. This Yaobian Tianmu tea bowl is indeed a fake."

"Fake! How could it be fake!"

Owen screamed loudly, obviously unable to accept this reality.

He pointed at Haines and shouted: "It must be you, Haines, you want to harm me, and you deliberately said it was false, right?! It must be so!"

Hines gave him a cold look: "As a cultural relic appraiser, my mission is to identify the authenticity of cultural relics and make them public, no matter what the result is.

Mr. Owen, I wanted to tell you this sentence when I was in Spencer Villa. "

"Impossible! You must be lying, Sotheby's has already verified it, and it is obviously true." Owen said to himself like crazy.

"enough!"

With a bang, Hart's face was ashen, and he slammed his fist on the desk.

Owen's voice stopped abruptly, and he sat down on the sofa, lost his mind, feeling that the world is spinning. The fake is actually fake, and it's all over now.

Hart looked at him indifferently: "Mr. Owen, I will report this matter, and there will be punishment in the end. You'd better be mentally prepared."

After speaking, he turned to Haines and said, "Mr. Haines, I hope you can keep the appraisal results today secret. For the sake of the museum's reputation, we must not let the outside world know that this Yaobian Tianmu teacup is fake."

"You want me to lie to the outside world?" Hines looked at him and said.

"No, I just hope that you can keep silent when I announce to the outside world that this Yaobian Tianmu tea bowl is genuine."

Both the British Museum and Sotheby's are giants in the field of cultural relics, and both are located in London, so they are very closely connected.

Hart himself has a close relationship with Sotheby's boss.

Once the appraisal results are leaked, not only the British Museum will be affected, but Sotheby's reputation will definitely suffer, and there is no chance of winning the trial in three days.

Both parties will suffer huge losses, which is obviously not what he wants to see.

Hart knew Hines was a true master, not just technically, but morally and ethically as well, so he needed a commitment from him.

Hines looked deeply at Hart for a few seconds, then turned around and walked towards the door after a while.

"Well, Mr. Hart, I promise you."

That night, after an afternoon of fermentation, the popularity of the incident escalated again, almost reaching the point where the whole network knew about it.

Not long after, the British Museum also issued a statement on its social account: According to the appraisal results of the museum, the Yaobian Tianmu tea bowl is genuine!

The public opinion on the Internet was already unfavorable to Jiang Han, and this made it even worse.

European netizens basically turned to the British Museum and Sotheby's auction house, thinking that Jiang Han was spreading rumors.

In stark contrast to them are the netizens of Longguo.

They basically all support Jiang Han and believe in his judgment. The British Museum and Sotheby's are nothing. If Brother Jiang says it is false, then it must be false.

Some radical English netizens even specially opened a Dousha account, and came to Jiang Han's live broadcast room to match up in person.

For a while, words like 'f**k', 'shit', 'son of bitch' appeared in the barrage.

In this regard, the netizens of Longguo will naturally not be used to them.

Dare to run wild on our territory, today I will show you what is called human sea tactics, I can drown you with my saliva!

Soon, those English words were drowned in a slam of cursing.

The whole barrage has a very high mom content.

What surprised Jiang Han the most was that many netizens from other countries even mixed in the live broadcast room.

There are people from the Little Life Country, the Kimchi Country, the Asan Country, and the Moldy Country, all of whom came to eat melons and watch the show.

The number of people online in the live broadcast directly increased to tens of millions, which became the highest record since his live broadcast.

As the incident became more and more popular, the court trial three days later became the focus of most attention on the entire network.
