Chapter 238: Treasure Appreciation and Sword
At half past seven o'clock in the evening, a treasure appreciation program of Jiangcheng TV station was grandly debuted, and each episode invited a respected treasure appreciation master to testify and appreciate treasures for Tibetan friends for free.
It is worth mentioning that this show has an eye-catching boo, if the treasure connoisseur screens out a fake, then the master will personally smash the fake in front of all the audience, so as to maintain the industry spirit of the antique industry to keep the fake and the true.
Originally, today's episode of the show invited Shen Qiu, but Shen Qiu temporarily postponed the schedule of the show because of the recent pressure, and the program team couldn't find a suitable expert candidate for a while, so he went to find Chu Zhixiong in a hurry.
So there was this issue of "Treasure Appreciation on the Sword" that night, a special program of the young treasure master, originally this title was specially made for Shen Qiu by the program team, although Chu Zhixiong's reputation is a little worse, but among the younger generation of treasure masters, he can barely get the crane taillight.
At the beginning of the show, the lights on the venue hit Chu Zhixiong's body, a black suit, with a gun-gray rimless frame, and a pair of starry small leaves of red sandalwood on the wrists of both hands.
The program team has arranged three collections for Chu Zhixiong to identify, namely a Tang Sancai Trojan Horse porcelain from the Tang Dynasty, a landscape painting from the early Qing Dynasty, and a bronze wine cup from thousands of years ago.
Chu Zhixiong identified the final results of the three collections within half an hour, the Tang Sancai Trojan Horse Porcelain Fake! The landscape painting is a copy of the Republic of China, and the bronze wine cup was also identified by him as a fake, and he clearly interpreted the flaws in all the collections in every detail.
Chu Zhixiong's speed of treasure appreciation won the warm applause of the host and the audience, and he personally raised the hammer and smashed two of the fakes.
"That's right, Master Chu!" The host changed the subject: "You should have heard about it recently, right? We are a young treasure master in Jiangcheng, Master Shen Qiushen! happens to be the same age as you, and has recently been recognized by the Chinese Antiques Association as the honorary title of treasure connoisseur, and is one of the few treasure connoisseurs in Jiangcheng, and at the same time broke the age record of the domestic treasure connoisseur, I don't know how you feel about it!"
Chu Zhixiong was silent for a few seconds and said: "With all due respect, I don't agree with Shen Qiu's title, I admit that Shen Qiu has a certain amount of treasure appreciation means, but to compare it with the treasure appreciation master, it is obviously still too tender!"
"First of all, Shen Qiu's treasure appreciation speed is very average, everyone can see it! I have perfectly screened three collections in thirty minutes today, and I can explain all the details of them clearly, in fact, this is only sixty percent of my energy, if I can devote myself wholeheartedly, I can identify eight collections within thirty minutes! On the contrary, looking at Shen Qiu, I can see that two pieces in half an hour is already the limit!"
"Some people may want to say that the speed of identification cannot be linked to the level of identification, in fact, the speed of identification reflects the person's mental sensitivity to a certain extent, the so-called eyes to observe the four directions, ears to listen to the eight directions, used in the treasure appraisal without any sense of disobedience, in my opinion, Shen Qiu is still a long way from the treasure appreciation master! Now the name of the grandmaster is not convincing!"
Chu Zhixiong gestured and motioned to his subordinates to hand over a document material: "In addition, I personally launched a series of investigations on Shen Qiu, including all the treasure appreciation behaviors he has participated in during the period he has been involved in the antique world, and I have personally found some patterns from it!"
"Shen Qiu has been in contact with antiques since he was sixteen years old, and in the period of six years until he was twenty-two years old, he came into contact with about 800 antiques, basically mainly to lose money, but in the year since he was twenty-three years old, he has been picking up treasures and harvesting all kinds of strange treasures one after another, as if he has become a treasure connoisseur overnight!
The more Chu Zhixiong spoke, the more excited he became: "Everyone, the eyes of the masses are bright, do you think he can be relied on such a treasure connoisseur? I seriously doubt that all of this was hyped up by Shen Qiu! He is not worthy of being a treasure connoisseur! I am not afraid to tell you! I came to Jiangcheng this time to fight fakes! Antiques need to be removed from the fake and retain the true! Fake grandmasters also need to be beaten! Two days later, I will have a treasure bet with Shen Qiu! Everyone is welcome to supervise on the spot! Supervise how I tore apart Shen Qiu's hypocritical mask!"
Chu Zhixiong's words made the audience talk a lot, and everyone said something in their ears.
"According to what he said, I also think Shen Qiu is a little suspicious! Shen Qiu had bought treasures in our store before, and he couldn't even figure out the most basic common sense of antiques, how could he become a treasure connoisseur overnight! Maybe the title of treasure connoisseur was really hyped up by him!"
"Looking at Chu Zhixiong's confident appearance, this time I am afraid that Shen Qiu's original form will be revealed, and they all say that Shen Qiu in the south and Zhixiong in the north, who is better this time, I know everything!"
"I still believe in Shen Qiu! I was on the scene at the previous treasure appraisal conference and the competition with Shen Jin, I personally witnessed Shen Qiu's ability, that is by no means a level that can be fried by hype, Chu Zhixiong, you said that Shen Qiu is a fake! Can you come up with evidence? Without evidence, you are lonely!"
"It's not that Shen Qiu's eyes are red when he is named Grandmaster, if he can defeat Shen Qiu this time, then it means that he has defeated Grandmaster, shouldn't the position of Grandmaster be given to him?
At this time, someone in the audience raised his hand to the host to speak, and the host saw that it was a quiet and beautiful girl, so he asked someone to hand her a microphone.
"Hello host, good Master Chu!" The girl politely stood up from her seat, her eyes were clear, and her voice was crisp and sweet: "I saw Master Chu's level just now, and it just so happened that I also saw Shen Qiu's ability up close, according to me, Master Chu, your level is still one distance away from Master Shen Qiu......
The beautiful girl is not big, and she speaks with humor, which makes the audience laugh.
Chu Zhixiong disagreed, and a disdainful smile appeared on his cheeks: "This beauty, in the antique world, it's not who has the final say in evaluating a person's ability, you have to come up with real evidence to say anything, do you say that I am not as good as Shen Qiu, is there any basis for saying that I am not as good as Shen Qiu?"
The beautiful girl's eyes were calm, not afraid of Chu Zhixiong's provocative gaze: "Let me introduce myself first, my name is Zuo Xiaoqing, I am a student of the History Department of Jiangcheng University, so to speak, it was Master Shen Qiu who brought me into this industry, and it was Master Shen Qiu who taught me knowledge little by little, so I naturally know more about Master Shen Qiu than you do......!
"Haha, it's not a college student, and he speaks in a literate manner, right? It's still Shen Qiu's apprentice, right? What does it mean to have a big ideal over action? Can anyone tell me if this is a derogatory term or a positive term?"
The host coughed and reminded beside him: "Master Chu, it means that if you just have a mouth and don't do it, pure crushing is a fake ......"
"Hmph, little girl, you're too arrogant, aren't you! If you have the ability, you let Shen Qiu come over to compete now, I, Chu Zhixiong, have never been afraid of anyone, you go and ask him why he doesn't dare to be on this treasure appreciation column! It's not that I'm afraid of revealing the prototype in front of so many people!"
"Master Chu, don't be in a hurry!" Zuo Xiaoqing unhurriedly took out the items that had been wrapped from his body: "I have a collection here that has been guided by Master Shen Qiu Shen, and now the show is still early, why don't I take it to you and tell you your opinion!
"Okay! I'm fine! Real gold is not afraid of fire! I'll take a look at it! But little girl, I have to tell you in advance! You don't have to worry about the real thing, but if it's a fake, I'll have to smash it in front of everyone! I can't hold a grain of sand in my eyes!"
