The treasure appreciation session officially began.

Two enthusiastic spectators respectively brought a pair of plum blossom bottles from the Xianfeng period and an old bronze mirror from the Republic of China.

Director Feng made his own evaluation and valuation of these two collections, both collections are genuine, plum blossoms gave an estimate of 180,000 yuan for the vase, and the old bronze mirror gave a final estimate of 50,000 yuan, and the two enthusiastic audiences also recognized Director Feng's level of appreciation.

The subsequent debut of the third collection completely attracted the attention of the audience, and a short man with an unattractive appearance appeared!

The man was about forty years old, wearing an ordinary jacket and holding a square lockbox in both hands, which was so large that it took a lot of effort for the short man to carry him to the stand.

The man didn't grind, he came up and decisively lifted the lid of the lockbox, and the mysterious collection inside instantly appeared in everyone's sight, it was actually a pair of chess, a specially customized chess.

The red background transparent agate chess, 32 chess pieces with a red background, carved in black, each chess piece is in a translucent state, refracted under the illumination of the stage lights.

As soon as Onyx chess debuted, it immediately became the focus of attention on the court.

The beautiful host went up to interview: "This gentleman's surname, can you tell us about the collection you brought to the scene?"

The little man introduced himself and said: "My surname is Gao, I am a native of Jiangcheng, I have a strong interest in antiques since I was a child, and I have been really in contact with this industry for seven or eight years.

Mr. Gao then pulled out an exquisite appraisal book from the bottom of the lockbox, which recorded in detail the provenance of this red agate chess, including what age it was, how much it was the starting price, and how much it was finally sold.

The host showed the appraisal certificate to the audience at the scene to check: "Friends, I saw the record of the appraisal book, saying that this is an agate chess in the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, which is from the hand of Master Shi Ran, the abbot of the White Horse Temple! Because the emperor Li Shimin loved to play chess! So he sent a pile of red agate, so that Master Shi Ran created a special chess board and chess pieces, Master Shi Ran after a year and eight months of polishing, finally created this magnificent red agate chess!"

Mr. Gao bowed to Director Feng and said: "Professor Feng, I know that you are the director of the Yenching Museum, and you have deep research qualifications in this aspect of carving small pieces, although this chess piece has been in my hands for more than two years, I have never had a bottom in my heart! Some people say that this chess is worth tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, so today I take this opportunity to ask Professor Feng to help take a look!"

Director Feng tidied up his neckline, walked up and first circled around the red agate chess, and then glanced at the appraisal certificate handed over by Mr. Gao.

"Everyone, since we talked about the appraisal certificate, I will give you the relevant knowledge by the way, as we all know, the collection of the antique industry is sealed as 369, etc., this appraisal certificate is no exception, and it also contains a lot of little-known rules. ”

"As Mr. Gao said just now, the red agate chess was auctioned by an auction house in Xiangjiang, and at first glance it sounds like an auction house in Xiangjiang, which is very high-end! As everyone knows, there are only four auction houses recognized as the most authoritative in Xiangjiang, Christie's Auction House, Subi Fu Auction House, Xiangjiang Guardian Auction House, and Xiangjiang Dolly Auction House, and only the appraisal certificates of these four auction houses have a certain degree of authority, and the appraisal certificates of other auction houses can only be used as a basic reference ......."

Director Feng then picked up one of the chess pieces, raised it to the top of his head to refract, and then put it back in its original position: "Now back to this red agate chess, I just saw it, the chess is indeed the material of agate, the material is crystal clear, clean and free of impurities, and the overall feeling is excellent!"

"The size of each chess piece has been accurate and unbiased, it can be said that this kind of workmanship is relatively rare in antiques, and the error of 32 chess pieces can be controlled within the error range of 0.1 mm, which is definitely the best of the best!"

Mr. Gao was immediately overjoyed: "So, Director Feng, do you approve of this chess? So I found it back then! Please ask Director Feng to help estimate a price! Tired!"

"Mr. Gao, don't worry, I haven't finished my words yet...... Director Feng took out two red agate chess pieces one after another, and specially presented the side of the red agate: "But the problem is here, because it is too accurate, there is no error! No difference pool is the biggest flaw! You chess is a treasure!"

Eye-catching?

Mr. Gao was stunned for a moment, then shook his head again and again and hurriedly vetoed: "Impossible! Professor Feng, you are joking, this treasure of mine was auctioned by the Xiangjiang Baolilai Auction House! I even brought you the appraisal certificate! How could it be fake? Look at you! There are many signatures of appraisal experts on it!"

Director Feng shook his head and said, " Mr. Gao, I know you are difficult to accept for a while, after all, he is the treasure you bought for eight million, but facts speak louder than words, I have seen a lot of chess antiques at home and abroad, the error range of the carving master can only be controlled between the area of 1 mm, and the accuracy of the manual carving master can only be controlled at most 0.5 mm of accuracy, this is still the carving master to play an extraordinary state, thirty-two chess pieces can have two to keep 0.5 is good, it is impossible to reach the point of no difference, dating back to the Tang Dynasty Kaiyuan era, there is no such accurate measurement tool！”

"There is only one possibility in the world that can achieve this kind of accuracy, and that is to carve it out by machine......"

"I don't believe it, I don't believe it, my collection was introduced and bought by a friend, how could my friend cheat me! There is also this appraisal certificate, which is endorsed and signed by famous experts, if my chess is fake, I will smash it on the spot!"

Mr. Gao did not accept Director Feng's appraisal at all, and excitedly showed the appraisal certificate to the audience.

Director Feng hit the nail on the head and pointed out the biggest flaw: "Mr. Gao, as I just said, just look at the appraisal certificates of the non-four major auction houses, and the signatures of your so-called famous experts can be done with a little touch, and buying signatures at a high price is already the most common routine in this industry......

"In fact, the biggest flaw is not the size error I said, the most obvious flaw is the red agate "red"! As we all know, agate is divided into ordinary agate and red agate, the price of the two is very different, ordinary agate is 2800 grams, and the price of red agate is 300,000 grams, the difference between the two is a hundred times!"

"If your chess is all made of red agate, then its material cost is at least four million costs, which is too high for counterfeiters, throwing away all kinds of expenses, the profit is basically pitiful, if you want to get a huge profit, you must use ordinary agate to pass off as red agate!

"The most direct way to identify red agate is to shoot a strong flashlight, the red of authentic red agate is an innate red, no matter how strong the light is impossible to shoot through it, on the other hand, the fake red agate is fired with bright red pigment to add, and the strong light flashlight can be shot through as long as it is close!"

Director Feng unscrewed his strong flashlight, and then a string of dazzling light shot through the red agate, and if you look closely, you can even see the rough graininess in the red, which is enough to prove that this is a fake red agate.

"So I finally combined these two points, and concluded that this set of chess is a fake, and here I once again tell everyone, while digging out treasures and picking up leaks, you must polish your eyes, don't be blinded by those so-called expert certificates, experts will lie, but antiques will never deceive people!"

"Bang

A few minutes later, Director Feng did not hesitate, raised the hammer of the program team, and smashed the red agate chess in front of him.

However, at this moment, there were bursts of applause from the audience: "Okay, good, good, smash well! Well said! I want to praise Director Feng!"
