Live appraising treasures, I became a national treasure expert?

Chapter 241 The mentality is broken

"Teacher Ding, I know you and have watched your video lectures... You are so professional, can you help me watch something?"

A man in his early forties squeezed into the crowd with something in his arms. Li Ding'an was stunned for a moment: Isn't this the person who just snatched Bedou from him?
Also watch the video lecture... If you have that patience, how could you possibly not be able to figure out Yuan Chonghuan and Hong Chengchou?So probably I just checked it on my phone...

Ding Licheng waved his hand: "I'm sorry, the unit has regulations, I really can't see it!"

This is of course an excuse: you just can't watch it inside the Forbidden City, and no one can control it outside the Forbidden City.

But he is also one of the top appraisal experts in the country. If this is the beginning, there is no way he can leave the exhibition today.

"Why don't you give me a look?"

Although this person was smiling, he was vaguely proud, "I snatched this from Expert Li... Oh no, Expert Li gave it to me. Maybe it was also a big leak..."

Damn it, is there anyone else who can steal something from Li Ding'an?
Ding Licheng and Ma Xianming were both surprised. After a moment's thought, they thought of the regretful expressions on these people's faces when Ding Licheng confirmed that it was Yang Shen's wax bucket. They immediately guessed: With Li Ding'an's help, He was an expert on big willow trees and didn't dare to make too much noise, so these people followed him blatantly to cut off the mess.

It is conceivable that those three things were no different from pulling teeth out of a tiger's mouth. Li Ding'an didn't know how many tricks he had to play to achieve his goal.

What about this one?

In all likelihood, Li Ding'an was forced to let him out, so it was really a leak...

Ding Licheng looked at Li Ding'an, then at the bag in the man's hand: "What is it?"

"It's a pastel paste bucket from the Xianfeng period!"

"porcelain?"

In an instant, Ma Xianming became interested. Just as he was about to speak, he hesitated, and then looked at Li Ding'an: Can I watch it?

The reason is simple: if it is a leak, in a sense, it means that Li Ding'an has lost his treasure.If it is passed around, it will be said that he slapped his eyes...

I thought Li Ding'an would shake his head, but unexpectedly he bared his teeth and smiled: "Watch whatever you want!"

Um, what do you mean?
Looking at your enthusiasm, I feel like there is a story in this?

Ma Xianming became even more interested and stretched out his hand: "Bring it to me and see... But first, let's make a deal: this is the only one!"

Who is this person?

The man hesitated, and the person next to him introduced in a low voice, "Ma Xianming, director of the National Museum Cultural Relics Protection and Restoration Institute, member of the National Cultural Relics Appraisal Committee, and a well-known scholar in the porcelain category..."

Damn, is he more powerful than Ding Licheng?

The man got excited and quickly put the things on the counter: "Director Ma, thank you!"

Ma Xianming waved his hand and opened the bag.

Hi, it's pretty good?
It's an object that definitely opens the door. Not to mention Ma Xianming, Ding Licheng can see that: with the painting skills and composition of this "Picture of Children Playing in Spring", it is definitely not the traditional "court painter paints well in the capital and gets the scenery". After the war, the painters of the Royal Ware Factory copied the painting of the cat and the tiger on the porcelain body." Instead, the painter of the Ruyi Pavilion hand-painted the porcelain body on the porcelain body.

Let’s look at the rendering and color application: the powder is soft, meticulous, layered, rich and varied. If you tilt it slightly, standing from the side angle, you can see the unique “rainbow light” of Qing Dynasty pastels.

Based on these two points, Ding Licheng dared to conclude that this was definitely an official kiln pastel from the Qing Dynasty.

Ma Xianming looked more seriously: first looking at the glaze, then the painting, and then the feet. As he looked, he said: "The glaze is even, the colors are bright and soft, clear but natural, the patterns are sparse and regular, the composition is dense and dense, and the lines are Smooth and elegant, the picture is elegant and pleasant, it must be hand-painted by a famous artist... There are lines in the front light and rainbow in the side light. This should be the pastel paste bucket of color ground consecrated after Qianlong..."

He opened the lid of the bucket again: "The shades are distinct, and the inner porcelain is white and flawless, smooth and haloed. It still uses the unique glaze 'Glass White' of pastels, and uses rue oil to color it. The base is as sharp as a knife." Chipping an ax... Well, Jidetang... or is it Xianfeng's private money? Wait, let me think about it..."

After thinking for a few seconds, Ma Xianming nodded: "If something leaked out during the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, and used by four serious emperors, is good, then if you compare it with the same type of items from the same period, the price will be at least twice as high... …”

So, at least 400 million?
The man smiled so hard that his teeth stuck out and gave a thumbs up: "You are still professional!"

There's no need to flatter me, I'm standing next to you more professionally!
Ma Xianming twitched the corner of his mouth: "Don't worry, you didn't listen to my previous sentence: This is the premise that there is no problem..."

"What...what's the problem?"

"Aren't you finished reading this?"

Suddenly, the man was stunned: the glaze, the painting, the tire, the foot, the bottom... You didn't miss anything, including the bucket lid and the bucket box. Is there anything else you didn't look at?
Ma Xianming ignored him, looked inside and out, and touched it again: Everything else was correct, except that the hole on the top was slightly larger.

In addition, I just felt that Li Ding'an's smile just now was a bit weird: Why did it feel like it was a bit gloating?
Li Ding'an was expressionless, because he was not worried at all: How could he dare to go to Liangshan without three or three?

If Ma Xianming had no ability, the researchers at the National Museum of Science and Technology would have rebelled long ago. Would it be his turn to be the director?

This thing is nothing but trivial to him.

Sure enough, as he touched it, Ma Xianming frowned and brought the bucket cover to his eyes: what he was looking at was the hole.

Just this moment made the man's heart skip a beat.

The people watching nearby also subconsciously moved closer and surrounded him even tighter.

After looking at it for a few times, Ma Xianming let out a "ha" and stared straight at Li Ding'an: Who can snatch things from you? It turned out to be a trap?

Think again about the man's proud look before: It's really not unfair to be fooled...

After being stunned for a while, he finally breathed out: "This one is a remnant weapon!"

What did you say
In an instant, the man's eyes bulged, he took a sharp breath, and his voice trembled: "Ma... Director Ma... take another look..."

What the hell?

Ma Xianming lifted the lid: "This is a fool's errand, right?"

"Yes...you just said it, and Expert Li also said it before, this is a fool's errand!"

"You know what this hole is for, right? It's for inserting a brush and dipping it into paste... But do you think, with such a big eye, how thick does the handle of the brush have to be?"

Ma Xianming gestured, "That's all the sticks from Shaolin Temple..."

His expression was very vivid and his tone was very humorous, which made the people around him laugh out loud.

But the man's face turned green: "Director Ma, you can't just say it's a broken weapon because your eyes are a little thick..."

"Don't panic...come on...look, is there no glaze on the edge of the hole?"

Ma Xianming handed the bucket lid forward, and then turned it over again, "If you compare it with the unglazed porcelain body inside, is the color whiter?"

"Here, feel it again. Is the circle around the hole obviously smoother than the inside, but rougher than the outer glaze? Because it has been broken and repaired, so it becomes like this... um... Wait, let me draw it: the original hole should look like this..."

Ma Xianming stretched out his finger and drew a few times on the counter. Everyone stretched their necks: he first drew a circle, then a small circle inside the circle, and then drew four short lines to connect the two circles. He stood up, and with one final touch of his finger, the short lines and small circles in the big circle disappeared.

"You see: this thing is so broken. It is estimated that the inner ring has been smashed into slag, and it is not easy to stick. What should I do? If you don't do it, you can grind it smooth. But if it is worn too deep, , you can see the tire from the outside... Think about it, this is something used by the emperor, how can it be so rough?
I could only polish it lightly, so it ended up like this: the glassy surface was polished off, but the enamel layer was left. So whether it is compared with the inside or the outside, whether it is color, brightness or texture, There are some subtle differences... Do you understand? "

I understand a hammer?

The man opened his mouth, but no words came out.

But the people around understood it: although it was just a little broken, it was just a small porcelain ring, no bigger than a penny, and it was still hollow in the middle.But this is the case with antiques. Even if there is only a small gap, it can only be regarded as a scrap.

What's more, after polishing it later, it will be even more damaged. Let alone quadrupling it, whether it can be worth half of the original price is still a question...

In an instant, the man's face lost all color, and his lips trembled: "Li Ding'an, are you cheating on me?"

"What did I cheat on you?"

"Did you say that this is a royal item, and it has been used by four generations of emperors?"

"Think carefully, have I ever said such a thing? It doesn't matter if you can't remember it..."

Li Ding'an sighed leisurely and pointed to the camera above the counter, "Not only is there a video here, it also has sound. You can tune it up and take a look..."

The man was stunned for a moment, and the scene at that time appeared in his mind like a revolving lantern:
Expert Li, what is this?
Li Ding'an: A paste bucket is a porcelain box for storing paste, used for gluing books or envelopes...

270 million, why is it so expensive?
Li Ding'an: Whether it's expensive or not depends on who has used it...

Then he explained the origin of Jidetang, saying only that it was custom-made porcelain, and then said it was guaranteed.

Not a single word was said about the imperial concubine or the four emperors. It was all yelled by the onlookers.

Even when the last few people rushed to buy it, he reminded him twice: This item is different from other items. There is no after-sales service, and you cannot return it after buying it...

But to say that this was not a trap set by Li Ding'an... what nonsense?

If he hadn't explained it so clearly and made it clear that it was "guaranteed," who would have dared to buy it blindly?
That was 270 million, not 270 yuan... There was a "buzzing" sound, and the man's eyesight went dark... There must have been enough people crowding in front of him, otherwise he would have fallen over on the spot.

After finally calming down, the man raised his finger tremblingly: "At that time, someone asked, how is this thing worth 270 million? Is it what you said: whether it is expensive or not depends on who has used it?"

"Correct!"

"Then this isn't misleading. The experts at the exhibition are cheating. I want to return the goods..."

"You can't return it!" The person who had been following him sighed, "The salesperson just said that the seller is abroad and there is no way to return it!"

"I don't care, I want to return the goods... The experts are cheating, I want to return the goods...

He was almost howling at the top of his lungs, over and over again, his voice was sharp and sharp, and he immediately attracted many people.

"what happened?"

“Experts at the exhibition set up a trap and defrauded collectors of 300 million yuan!”

"Damn it, is it true?"

"Do you listen to his nonsense? This person is shameless and follows the expert every step of the way. He grabs whatever the expert likes. He was forced to do nothing, so he gave him a lesson!"

"Then isn't this a trick?"

"The trick is a bit exaggerated. At least it teaches me a lesson, but the price of this lesson is a bit high: 270 million, and you can't withdraw it? Tsk tsk..."

In a few words, everyone roughly understood the ins and outs and everything was said.Some said that the man deserved it, and some said that Li Ding'an went too far. There was a lot of discussion for a while, just like a vegetable market.

Security came when there were only seven or eight people watching, but with the situation in front of me, I was really at a loss: the man just howled and didn't do anything out of the ordinary.And it is indeed a bit difficult to handle when it comes to appraisal experts at exhibitions.

Ma Xianming and Ding Licheng also looked at each other for a long time.

No matter who was right or wrong in advance, given the current state of online public opinion, if the situation is not kept intact, others will take the lead and rise to the moral level: at the least, there is a problem with Li Ding'an's character, at worst, he is colluding with the exhibition and deliberately defrauding customers.

Even if he doesn't admit that he did it on purpose, he will still be said to have "insufficient vision" and "insufficient ability"... Anyway, it is not an ordinary troublesome thing. It seems that no matter how he handles it, problems will arise.

Lei Mingzhen and Lan Huazhi also came over. They looked at Li Ding'an with worried faces: If I had known there would be such a big fuss, Li Ding'an should have made it clear just now...

Just as they were thinking about it, they were shocked again: Can you still laugh?
Li Ding'an was indeed smiling, and he was smiling quite naturally. He was definitely not smiling at all: "Are you sure you want to retreat?"

"what?"

The howling stopped suddenly, and it took the man a while to react: "Can you retreat?"

"Of course it's impossible for you to withdraw from the exhibition, but I can!" Li Ding'an was still smiling, "But you have to think about it!"

What do you mean?
The man opened his eyes wide, looked down at Bo Dou, then looked up at Li Ding'an, and then at Ma Xianming.

No...what are you looking at me for?

I, the director of Guobo Cultural Research Institute and one of the top porcelain experts in the country, can I still tell you that you are wrong?
Ma Xianming gave up immediately: "If this isn't a broken weapon, I'll give you an identical one!"

Li Ding'an also nodded: "I'll pay you one as well!"

It means there is indeed something wrong with this thing...

"Then you're returning?"

"How can there be so many reasons why you just say you can't refund? If you want to refund, just scan the code and change the invoice. If you don't refund, just take the things and leave..."

Li Ding'an knocked on Mudou thoughtfully, "But think clearly: you only have one chance!"

Holy shit...are you here again?

Li Ding'an was like this when a bunch of people were fighting for the wax bucket.Before, when several people were grabbing bamboo tubes, Li Ding'an was still like this?

Is it possible that this one is also a treasure, but Ma Xianming didn't notice it?

But I can't tell for sure. Li Ding'an was afraid of having too much influence and bad reputation, so he gave in?

Suddenly, the man felt like his mind was in a mess, and he didn't know what to do?
"Hey... the experts have said they will help you withdraw, why are you still hesitating?"

"You can't want to ask for more, right? Understand, this is someone's own money, admitting that they are unlucky, which means they have to pay millions on the spot, are you satisfied?"

"Want an extra hammer? He just worries about gain and loss, wondering if this thing will become a treasure again?"

"Brother, please be smarter: after suffering such a big loss, why haven't you learned a lesson?"

"I'm sure he's bluffing you... Look clearly, the camera is filming. He really left with something in his arms. This thing is not yours, but it's yours..."

It was like a firecracker was dropped in a beehive, everyone was talking about it, and the man's head was stunned by the noise.

Then I thought again: This is nearly 300 million... How much is his entire net worth?

And what others said is not unreasonable: after passing this village, there is no such store...

The man gritted his teeth fiercely: "Back off!"

"Okay...bring me the invoice!"

Li Ding'an was unusually straightforward. He took out his mobile phone and scanned the code.

Then there was a ding-dong sound, indicating that the account had been received, and he handed the invoice forward: "Please, Master Wang, cancel it and issue a new one. When you look up, write my name: Li Ding'an!"

The movement was so loud that the salesperson from before had already gathered around, quickly caught it, and started operating on the spot.

Looking at the newly arrived 270 million yuan, my anxious heart finally settled in my stomach.After counting several times and making sure that there was no missing zero, the man put away his phone and forced out a smile: "Thank you, Expert Li!"

"No need!" Li Ding'an didn't even raise his head, he slowly put the bucket of paste into the box and then put the box into the bag.

The movements were very gentle, a bit cautious.

This is easy to understand: this thing is just a remnant, not a fake or a high imitation. Although it is not worth two or three million, it is still worth a million, so of course you have to be careful.

The problem is, Li Ding'an is still smiling, and he still feels a little "satisfied" and "finally got it".

Not only men are suspicious, but also a bunch of people who eat melons are a little confused: I have refunded the money and paid the money, so what is the need to pretend?
Including Ma Xianming, Ding Licheng, and even Lei Mingzhen: Li Ding'an is not the kind of character who "bites his teeth and swallows his blood". He is happy when he is happy, and angry when he is angry.

Anyway, right now, I feel like he is really happy...

What's going on... Could it be that this thing has leaked again?

Not so playful...

Ma Xianming thought for a while, moved closer, and said in an unusually low voice: "Did...did I miss something?"

Li Ding'an paused and looked at him strangely: "How is that possible? Even if Professor Chen and Lu Yuan, or Professor Wu and Ding Yuan came, the result would be the same."

Chen Shucai, Lu Benzhi, Wu Xiang, Ding Shouyi?

These four people are considered the best among the Ming and Qing porcelain experts, and Chen Shucai was Ma Xianming's teacher.

that's fine...

Secretly breathing a sigh of relief, Ma Xianming fluttered his eyelids twice more.

The two of them have known each other for more than a day or two, and you can tell what he means at a glance: Don't fool me, just be happy!

"Of course there is no problem with the conclusion. It is an imperial weapon and has passed through the Four Emperors. It is a remnant weapon... but the origin is slightly different!"

After a pause, Li Ding'an sighed, "That hole, the one you said was smashed to pieces, was broken by Guangxu himself... Well, it is also related to Cixi, and there is also some gossip between men and women. !”

What the hell... Cixi’s gossip?

Ma Xianming was stunned for a moment, Ding Licheng was also stunned, and a bunch of people watching were also stunned.

The man was even more confused: Does this mean that this thing is not broken casually? Not only does it have a story, but it is also not ordinary exciting?

Immediately, the buzzing thought in my mind was: Why are antiques used by famous people more valuable? Isn’t it because they have something to talk about and stories to tell?
And the greater the fame and the more stories there are, the more valuable the things will be...

So what if it’s related to Emperor Guangxu, or even the gossip about Cixi’s men and women?
In an instant, the man's eyes turned red: I've been fucked like this back and forth...how many times has it been like this?
My mentality is broken...
