golden ear

Chapter 68

"Several experts, please sit down. The three are old friends. I will trouble you again this year."

Director Zhao came into the conference room after a while, and everyone sat down. He greeted the three old faces first, and said to Wu Tianyuan with a smile: "You are the person highly recommended by Mr. Song. I inquired about it, and it's amazing , the young and vigorous faction in the circle!"

"The director is too flattering, I have little qualifications, and I hope a few seniors can give me advice."

Wu Tianyuan was polite, and Lao Liu and Lao Hu nodded kindly, which was regarded as a greeting.They have also heard about Wu Tianyuan's deeds, but they are formal experts of the museum and figures in the system.Coupled with his age, he is naturally a little reserved.

"It's better to be famous than to meet each other. Are you that Wu Tianyuan?"

Wu Tianyuan was taken aback for a moment, looked at Jia Dabing who was obviously hostile, and recalled in his heart that today the two indeed met for the first time.

"Juniors must have the attitude of juniors. Antiques are not good enough, so learn slowly in the future!"

The faces of the others also changed, and what they said was serious!It's the first time we've met each other. Wu Tianyuan is also an appraiser of Zhongzheng at any rate. He is a collector who has auctioned tens of millions of heavy weapons. You, Jia Dabing, said something out of nowhere. What do you mean?
Wu Tianyuan could naturally feel Jia Dabing's hostility, and was very confused, and so was Diao Erye.Mingming met for the first time, no grudges in the past, no grudges in recent days.All of a sudden, he secretly made a black hand, trying to trick himself.Are they all good friends of Xie Rongcheng?Revenge for the Xie family?
"Everyone is a senior expert. It is an honor for the program team to invite four of them. Let me briefly explain the process this time..."

Director Zhao hurried out to smooth things over. He was more inclined to Wu Tianyuan in his heart. First, he was introduced by Mr. Song, so he was considered one of his own.The two are multi-millionaires at a young age, and the dignified and upright gold medal appraisers are much better than the so-called museum experts in the eyes of outsiders!

Now experts are everywhere, not as many as dogs, and all the experts in the society are experts!

There are many so-called experts who publish books to make money, how can they have the time and mood to do research with peace of mind?Look at the few books on the market, and copy those few pictures.Changing the book cover and making money from publishing books has not brought any new ideas for many years.

On the contrary, folk collectors have a large number of rich collections for in-depth research, and use modern technology and information means to communicate with each other to improve the sharing of research results. At present, the method of "judging the authenticity at the micro level and the age at the macro level" has been generally recognized and mastered by collectors.

The main thing is that most experts in museums do not have contact with the market and lack practical experience. Folk collectors are trained with real gold and silver, and they can't sleep if they don't understand a thing.

After all, experts use the salary of the state to make appraisals, and many of them are archaeological unearthed, so there is no question of authenticity.However, folk masters spend their own hard-earned money to pick up leaks and collect them. The difference and degree of care must be different.

What's even worse is that some experts have bad mentality. In order to protect their own vested interests, they dare not admit that there are genuine products in the private sector. They buy hundreds of thousands, millions or even tens of millions of pieces for museums or for big buyers. Put it in your pocket, there are only a very small number in the world.How dare they admit it if there are a lot of folks suddenly appearing at low prices?This is no longer a purely academic issue of identification, but a matter of conscience and morality!

Wu Tianyuan didn't understand the three experts in front of him, but he didn't have a good impression of the museum's experts.The people around him are all collectors, and his eyesight has been honed bit by bit, and he spent a lot of tuition fees. This kind of blood and tear lesson is even more impressive.

"At two o'clock in the afternoon, we will start the audition. From the more than 100 registered items, four experts will select ten items to advance to the semi-finals. Two days later, four items will be selected to advance to the finals, and finally the treasure of the Republic of China will be selected."

"No problem, it's all the same old style. Most of the folks are fakes, and there are not many real ones. We can get it done in a few two or three hours."

Jia Dabing took the lead, and the two colleagues next to him were used to his style and did not express their opinions.Wu Tianyuan glanced at Expert Jia indifferently, and secretly became wary in his heart.

"That's it. I'll treat everyone to a meal at noon, so that the experts can get acquainted with each other. Maybe there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future, right?"

Director Zhao saw that it was about the same time, so he took the four of them to a nearby restaurant for dinner. They couldn't drink alcohol, and they had to record a program in the afternoon, but after the meal, the atmosphere began to become harmonious.

"Old Liu and Lao Hu are very rigorous, at least they look like experts." Wu Tianyuan observed secretly, knowing what to expect.

"That Jia Dabing is really disgusting. He doesn't talk about fake things, and he likes to talk nonsense. I think even his colleagues don't like to see him."

After a meal, Wu Tianyuan saw a lot of problems, and every time it was Jia Dabing's turn to speak, he would go on and on, full of all kinds of flattery.He said how awesome he was and how many national treasures he had appraised. In the end, even Lao Liu and Lao Hu were silent and looked helpless.

After dinner, a few people took a break, and went to the studio hall at two o'clock sharp to start the audition.The collectors who just sat down and signed up became excited, and they all took their collections to come to verify the authenticity.

"Please come in order, everyone has a chance, and be careful about your collection."

Several directors were sorting out the materials while maintaining order on the scene.Two cameras are facing the appraisal platform, and the footage is finally cut and used.

"Where did you come from?"

"It's not old, it's a modern imitation."

"This is a large famille rose bowl from the Republic of China. It is also 80 to [-] years old and has a certain collection value. The price? Xiao Wu, look..."

Lao Hu just finished appraising the porcelain, the audience asked the price and asked Wu Tianyuan to estimate the price.

"The market price of a large pastel bowl in the Republic of China basically ranges from [-] to [-]. Yours is in good condition. If it goes to auction, it will cost at least [-]."

The three experts appraised their own specialties by category, and Wu Tianyuan mainly did the valuation. After the appraisal was genuine, I asked him about the market price.This is the main reason why collectors come here. Whether it is for their own collection or for sale in the future, at least there is a standard.

Every time there are huge crowds of people appreciating treasures, this has been selected, if all 600 or [-] people come, they will not be able to beat it!Going to a professional appraisal agency costs hundreds of appraisal fees at least, and many of them are found on the street stalls, thinking they are genuine.The total cost was less than two hundred, and the appraisal fee was several hundred. If it is fake, it will not lose money?
This is also physical work, and many of them are fake at first glance, so it doesn't take much trouble to identify them.The main reason is to explain the trouble to the collectors. It’s okay to spread the goods casually, after all, it didn’t cost a lot of money.Wu Tianyuan saw a few porcelain and jade wares that were invited with a lot of money, but they turned out to be high imitations, the loss was very worrying.

"You are a product of the Republic of China, but the quality of the jade is not bad, so you cannot be promoted. This is my business card. If you want to sell it, I will give you a high price."

Wu Tianyuan frowned, he obviously absorbed energy when he touched it with his hand just now, it must be a jade tablet from the Qing Dynasty.How did Jia Dabing become a product of the Republic of China? "

"Your piece of jade is still worth a bit. Leave me a call and I'll find you a buyer. I won't lose you."

Wu Tianyuan looked at the way Jia Dabing was dragging the collector and muttering secretly, feeling sick in his heart, this is a bullshit expert!It's a blatant deception. It is clearly a jade plate from the Qing Dynasty, and it is said to be a product of the Republic of China.If the other party contacts him, he will definitely lower the price to death, and in the end all the money will be his own!

"Old Jia, hurry up and work!"

Old Liu on the side really couldn't see it, and reminded in a low voice, the camera is recording a program, you are shameless, and the two of us are shameless!

"Am I helping collectors solve their problems? Well, remember to contact me, next one!"

I was busy until after five o'clock, and finally all the collections were appraised, and a total of ten so-called heavy objects were selected.In Wu Tianyuan's eyes, they are all high-end goods, and the best one is just a large pot from the folk kiln of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, with a maximum value of more than 20.

They are all entry-level collectors, and many of them have the mentality of picking up the leaks, with poor eyesight and stubbornness.After reading a few books, I grasped a so-called identification point, such as the hair color of blue and white, or the font of the base.There is no systematic study, and there is no comparison with the real product in hand, so it is strange not to eyeball it.

Let Wu Tianyuan say that instead of fooling around like this, it's better to go to museums to see the real thing.It is natural to have a feeling after seeing a lot. This kind of intuition is the key point of identification. As the old saying goes, if you see a lot of real things, you will feel uncomfortable when you see fake ones!
