Chapter 180 You Don't Believe My Identification?

In the reception room, Qian Fang, Zheng Bai, and Zhou Yafang sat quietly. None of them spoke, and the atmosphere was a bit heavy.

They could see clearly what happened at Fang Ming's place, and since the distance was not too far away, they could also hear those conversations clearly.

"Old Qian, if it were you, would you be able to avoid such a thing?"

Qian Fang looked at Zheng Bai, his complexion was not good at all, and there was some strange expression in the silence.

Putting down the teacup in his hand, Zheng Bai thought about it seriously for a while, and said, "Nine times out of ten it is impossible."

"Oh? Why not? You're an old bird too."

Zheng Bai glared at Qian Fang, and said, "You are also a veteran, do you think you can do it?"

Qian Fang smiled wryly and said, "I probably can't either."

"Such a trick is not complicated. The question is, how can we think of someone using this method now? So, although it seems simple, if you are not careful enough, you will be tricked immediately."

"Yes!"

Zhou Yafang shook her head lightly. After seeing such a thing happen, she secretly imagined it in her heart. In the end, she had no choice but to realize that if it was her, she would be tricked too, and the consequences would be very serious.

For example, if Fang Ming accidentally reached out to take out the antique from the cloth bag just now, that person would immediately yell and say that Fang Ming broke the thing, and would ask for a million or even a million dollars. Well, the other party is ready to make trouble anyway, he is not afraid and can afford it, but since he and Fang Ming run a shop, it is impossible for him to keep making trouble here, so in the end it is very likely that he will lose even more money to prevent disaster.That would drive people crazy.

"I'm worried that there will be many such things during the Appreciation Conference."

Qian Fang's face became serious, because there are a large number of antique lovers or professionals gathered in Ningdong City and the Small Antique Street of the Appraisal Conference, and of course there are also a large number of professional liars or scammers in this industry. The master of touching porcelain.

In case someone is accidentally cheated, it will cause a huge blow to this Treasure Appreciation Conference, which is not what he wants to see.

"Well, yes, we must pay attention to this issue. Although this is an inevitable thing in this industry, we must also do a good job in publicity and avoid it as much as possible. No, I have to find Sikong now Zhe, let him deal with this matter immediately."

Zheng Bo is a quick-tempered person, he does what he thinks, so he stood up immediately after he finished speaking and left in a hurry.

"This time the Treasure Appreciation Conference has attracted too many people, which is a good thing, but there are also many problems that follow."

Qian Fang nodded and said, "That's true, but there's nothing we can do about it. The forest is big and there are all kinds of birds. We can't burn the forest just because we don't want to see those birds, right? Since we can't burn the forest If they are all burned, then we can only shoot them down when we see birds coming.”

"Oh, but I didn't expect that Fang Ming, who is so young but so experienced, would be so cautious, it's incredible."

Qian Fang pointed to Fang Ming outside, and he admired this young man even more in his heart.

Jiang Wen stared at all this dumbfounded. How could she have imagined that such a thing would happen, that someone wanted to touch porcelain with a broken antique?

This approach was really a bit crude, but after she thought about it for a while, her face turned pale again, because she realized that if it was her, she might be fooled. At that time, it was really unreasonable.

Looking up and seeing Jiang Wen's stunned expression, Fang Ming smiled and said, "There are all kinds of things in this world, it's not surprising. In short, we just need to be careful."

The world is changing with each passing day, and so is the deception. There are so many ways in the antique shop. No one can guarantee that he will not be deceived in his life, but a little care can avoid many problems.

"Besides, we have surveillance cameras installed in our store, and all angles are available. This has been able to avoid some accidents to the greatest extent."

"Well, okay, you must be more careful in the future."

Jiang Wen nodded. She knew that there was no good way to do this. The only thing she could do was to be as careful as possible—unless she was not in this line of business, but the question was which line of business was wrong?
What about similar situations?

"Let the next person come in."

Fang Ming pointed to the people outside.The beginning of this time was not so wonderful. He hoped that he could really find some valuable antiques later, otherwise it would be completely in vain to make such a big noise this time.

Jiang Wen went out and brought another person in again, but this time she behaved well, and asked the other party to put the antique on the table, and then asked the other party to pick it up and turn it over for a look, and the other party did not point it out until she was sure that there was no problem. nod.

Fang Ming nodded lightly. Jiang Wen was learning too fast, and such an approach was really necessary.

"Please take a look at this antique of mine to see if it's real or fake."

Zu Fei was in second place, and he saw what happened just now, so he didn't feel too much for Jiang Wen's request at all, and he really wanted to let Fang Ming appraise the item in his hand. It's made of porcelain, so I don't have any opinions.

Fang Ming glanced at it, and knew that the porcelain in front of him was called a gourd vase with blue and white twining patterns.The body of the bottle is in the shape of a gourd, with a straight mouth, flat sand bottom and concave. The decoration on the body of the bottle is a lotus flower with twining branches. There are fretwork and lotus petals on the neck, shoulders, and feet of the bottle as decorations.

Picking it up lightly, Fang Ming immediately shook his head and said, "This thing is a fake, it's worthless, and we won't accept it."

"Ah? You can tell it's fake just by looking at it? Impossible?"

Zu Fei naturally heard what Jiang Wen said outside just now, but he thought it was just a joke. How can anyone in this world tell that it is a fake antique just by looking at it?You have to weigh it again, right?Since I bought this bottle, besides my own research, I have also consulted a lot of experts. Which of them didn't weigh and weigh, and studied it with a magnifying glass for a long time before they came to a conclusion?

But the young man named Fang Ming in front of him just glanced at it and said it was fake as soon as he picked it up, how could Zu Fei accept it?

"Look, the underglaze is white and yellow, and the blue and white are grayish blue. Doesn't that mean it's real? This is the characteristic of Ming Chenghua's blue and white gourd vase with twining patterns."

Fang Ming understood the other party's mood very well, so he didn't make a sound when the other party spoke, and even if the other party's tone was not very good, he didn't care.Those who also collect antiques naturally understand the feeling of wanting the antiques in their hands to be real, but facts are facts, and you have to believe if you don’t want to believe it. It can also be identified that there is something wrong with the bottle in front of him.

After Zu Fei finished speaking and calmed down completely, Fang Ming said, "You don't believe my appraisal?"

Zu Fei's eyes were bloodshot, he stared at Fang Ming and said, "I don't believe it."

"Oh, I didn't want to explain it to you at first, because now I am collecting antiques. If I don't want to collect antiques, I don't want to collect them. There is no reason to say. But since we are all in the same industry, then I will explain to you , so that you can also be convinced."

Zu Fei was taken aback, but he immediately understood what Fang Ming meant.Indeed, as Fang Ming said, I came here with antiques to see if Fang Ming would accept them. Now that I have made a conclusion and said I would not accept it, there is no need to explain to myself.

"Then trouble Boss Fang."

Fang Ming pointed to the porcelain vase that had been put back on the table by himself, and said, "You are not wrong at all. Ming Chenghua blue and white entwined pattern gourd vases are indeed a relatively common type of porcelain. The features you just mentioned are true. It is also a feature, but don't forget that such a feature can be imitated, because my identification basis is not from what you said, "the underglaze white is yellowish, and the blue and white are grayish blue", so I won't discuss it with you. Study this."

"Because you don't need to study these to judge that your blue-and-white gourd bottle with tangled branches is definitely an imitation."

"Ah! Impossible!"

Zu Fei called out with surprise on his face.

"No matter how loud you shout, it's useless. A fake will always be a fake."

Fang Ming pointed to the porcelain vase again, and said: "The blue and white gourd vase with twining patterns of branches in Ming Chenghua has a very important feature, that is, it uses the technique of outlining the outline and then flattening it, so the brushstrokes are random and smooth, and the style is eternal. It is an important factor in the identification of porcelain. In recent years, there have been more and more imitations of such blue-and-white gourd vases with twining patterns. It is broken by hand. In the former case, the body of the gourd is relatively round. The mechanized production brings about the lack of the authentic style of the gourd bottle with the blue and white entanglement pattern of Ming Chenghua. As for the one that is drawn by hand, the lines It's quite not smooth, this is a problem with the level of production, and at the same time, you can see that the blue and white pattern of this blue and white gourd bottle with twigs is turbid, and the border is not clear. With these characteristics, it can't be identified as fake?"

Zu Fei sat in a daze for a long time without any reaction. He felt his heart twitch. The words Fang Ming said struck his head like thunder. He didn't want to believe it, but he did. And he has to believe it, because he is not ignorant of these appraisal aspects that Fang Ming said, he just didn't want to believe it before. Now that Fang Ming said this, he found that he had no way to refute it, so he was like a bird It was like a duck hearing the thunder, unable to move at all.

Seeing Zu Fei like this, Fang Ming also sighed in his heart. Although he felt sympathetic in his heart, he would still directly break this unrealistic fantasy, or he would definitely fall deeper and deeper and eventually go mad.
