I'm really the king of leaks

Chapter 38 It's Almost Real!

When it comes to family heirlooms, generally speaking, people who love antiques will take a second look.

After all, if it can be regarded as a family heirloom, it may be a very good antique, and the chances of it being genuine are relatively high.

In addition to the urgent need for money, the price is easy to negotiate.

It is also this kind of routine that sounds reasonable, and it can also win the sympathy of others.Therefore, in the antique industry, people will often be used.

Expert Peng is an industry veteran who has worked in the industry for decades and is familiar with the routines.

Although there is a heart of compassion, it is still necessary to focus on the real thing.

Observe carefully.

This bronze unicorn of the Warring States Period is lifelike in terms of shape.

Moreover, looking closer, I also feel that the rust on the bronze ground is very natural. The pattern shape, casting process, and carving techniques are basically in line with the characteristics of authentic products in the Warring States Period.

Although Expert Peng is an expert in porcelain, he is an expert in antiques after all, and he knows a little about bronze appreciation.

At least, know more than the average person.

"Xiao Chen, Xiao Yi, you two also come over to have a look together, how is this object?"

With that said, Expert Peng put the wooden box in front of Zhang Yi and Uncle Chen.

Uncle Chen opens an antique shop, and he can touch all kinds of antiques.

Therefore, I must know a little about bronze ware.

He looked at it carefully, and felt that there seemed to be no problem.

Moreover, the identification points he is familiar with all conform to the characteristics of genuine products.

Of course, Zhang Yi's understanding of bronze ware is superficial.

To judge old and new, you still need to rely on your right index finger, but unfortunately, you used it once this morning.I used it twice when gambling on stones, and today's identification opportunities have been used up.

Therefore, Zhang Yi didn't say much about this bronze beast.

"Little friend, how much do you sell this bronze beast of yours?"

The child touched the back of his head and thought for a while.

It seems that I don't know how to quote.

Perhaps, it may be because I am too young to have any concept of money, especially large sums of money.

Just then.

Another person hurriedly pushed open the door of the private room and walked in.

This person was about 50 to [-] years old.

The eyes are very small, a bit like a mouse-eye.

"Kid, why don't you just leave? I've already said that the price is negotiable. How about adding 10 to the price I just offered?"

"Then... how much is the total?"

The child turned around and asked.

"A total of 30, what do you think? This price is not bad."

The child seemed to think for a while, but shook his head.

"30 won't work. Could it be that they can offer a higher price? I really don't believe it!"

After finishing speaking, the middle-aged man with small eyes looked towards Zhang Yi and the others, and there was a hint of provocation in those small eyes.

Uncle Chen stood up directly.

"Brother, is it against the rules for you to do this?"

The middle-aged man with small eyes chuckled.

"Rules? I met this small client first, so of course I have the right to trade with him. Besides, if you want all the good things, we can bid!"

"Bidding? Well, if you offer 30 yuan, they won't agree. You are so stingy, how do you bid?"

Uncle Chen asked back, his words were quite sharp.

Having said that, the man also gritted his teeth angrily.

"30 won't work, I'll add another 10!"

After finishing speaking, he looked at the child again, but the child was still shaking his head.

The small-eyed man was a little anxious.

"My little ancestor is already 40 yuan, isn't it okay?"

"I can't... I... my mother's illness requires a lot of money, and the money is definitely not enough... Besides, my mother said that this thing is from the Warring States period, it is very valuable, and it will definitely cure her illness... "

The child lowered his head, stumbled and seemed a little scared.

Seeing this, the small-eyed man sighed deeply.

"Little friend, tell me, how much does it cost to cure your mother's illness?"

The child thought for a while, and finally stretched out nine fingers with both hands.

"90?"

The small-eyed man stared wide-eyed in disbelief, with a bitter expression on his face.

"Hey... this... I'm afraid I can't do anything about it! 90, although this thing is worth the price, but I really can't afford it!"

He was downcast and looked very lonely.

while they were talking.

Zhang Yi brought the wooden box in front of him and observed it carefully.

According to the key identification points mentioned by Uncle Chen, there is indeed nothing wrong with this bronze beast of the Warring States Period.

The finish is beautiful, even up close, with rust from the inside out, very natural.

Is it.

Is everything this kid said true?
While thinking, Zhang Yi carried the bronze beast out with both hands, and observed it carefully.

But never thought.

When the fingers of his right hand touched the bronze beast, a voice appeared in his mind again.

"Excuse me, is it authenticated?"

I used it once to appraise Qin Quan in the morning, and then used it twice for Gambling Stones. In principle, the number of appraisals has been used up, so how can I still appraise it now?

Could it be that the number of appraisals has increased again?

Moreover, you can still choose now, whether to identify or not?
After the doubts, Zhang Yi thought to himself.

"Identify!"

"Warring States Bronze Unicorn."

"This object is in the shape of an ancient auspicious beast, with a long unicorn growing from the back of its head. The animal's head is raised high, its round eyes are grinning, as if it is screaming up to the sky. The strong and powerful limbs are bent and crawling on the ground, and there are wishful patterns at the junction of the five bodies. The curve outlines the thick hair, the body is like undulating mountains, and the machine has a dynamic posture, full of vitality. This is an auspicious beast in people's imagination, but it is quite realistic, without artificiality, and full of beauty."

"Unfortunately, if you observe carefully enough, you will find that there are still small cast tumors left in the abdomen and corners. Although it has been deliberately polished and covered, the traces of the details are still difficult to remove completely. This is It is caused by the modern mold-turning process, and the ancient lost-wax process will not leave this kind of cast nodules."

"Therefore, this object is highly skilled in terms of old-fashioned methods and plastic arts, but it cannot conceal its essence after all. This is a high-quality imitation of the modern imitation of the Warring States bronze unicorn!"

After listening to this, Zhang Yi already understood.

There are so many coincidences in this world.

Just when Zhang Yi and the others arrived here, there was a child who ran over and said that something happened to his family and he needed money urgently. He wanted to sell this Warring States unicorn?
Obviously, this is an elaborate hoax!

Of course, the core of the deception is not the people, but the imitation of the bronze beast that can almost be mistaken for the real one.

This high imitation made Zhang Yi think about his father.
