Chapter 1263: Antique Scam

After adjusting his mood slightly, Brother Fang said:

"I think this is a Yongle blue and white plum vase, first of all, in terms of shape, this plum vase is not big, only 323 centimeters, in line with the saying 'Yongle has no big vessel'.

This blue and white plum vase has an open mouth, a short neck, full shoulders, and wide hoop feet, and is decorated with entwined lotus patterns throughout the body, and the blue and white hair color under the glaze is intense, with a certain halo phenomenon, and there are also brown iron crystal spots.

In addition, this blue and white plum vase has not been signed, which is also in line with the very rare situation of Yongle blue and white four-character seal book, and the fetal quality is relatively fine, and you can feel it when you touch it with your hand.

It is based on these characteristics, combined with some other details, that I judged that this is a Yongle blue and white plum vase, and took this antique porcelain.

The foreigner antique shopkeeper didn't seem to know much about Chinese porcelain, he only said that this was a very good piece of Chinese antique porcelain, hundreds of years old, and it was very worth collecting.

As for the price of this blue and white plum vase, Brother Rong sells it, it is really inconvenient to disclose, what do you think of this porcelain? Ye Tian, I would like to hear your appraisal conclusion.

You are the world's top antique art appraisal expert, with a sharp eye, and you will be able to see the authenticity of this blue and white plum vase!"

After finishing speaking, Brother Fang stared at Ye Tian's face tightly, expecting him to give an accurate appraisal conclusion, his expression was uneasy and quite nervous!

Obviously, the price he paid for taking this blue and white plum vase was not low, otherwise he would not have suffered so much!

At the same time as he was talking about the basis of the identification, Ye Tian also reached out and picked up the blue and white plum vase on the table, and looked at it carefully, quite carefully and carefully.

In fact, as early as when Brother Fang came over with the box, Ye Tian already clearly knew that there was no doubt about the authenticity of this blue and white plum vase!

When Brother Fang's voice fell, Ye Tian also ended the performance-style appraisal and casually placed the blue and white plum vase on the table.

Immediately afterward, he smiled and said:

"It can be seen, Brother Fang, you still have some research on Ming Yongle blue and white, and you are also familiar with the characteristics of Yongle blue and white, and your appreciation level is good!"

"The words there are all learned from books and the Internet, and they are purely a class axe! Let you laugh, Ye Tian, tell me your appraisal opinion on this blue and white plum vase, I really want to hear it!"

Brother Fang said politely, and then said eagerly.

Ye Tian looked at the blue and white plum vase again, and then said with a solemn face:

"If you follow the rules of the domestic antique shop, for this blue and white plum vase, I can only say that I can't see it accurately, it's not appropriate to say anything, otherwise it will break the rules of the antique shop, after all, we just meet in Pingshui!

But this is in Europe, not in China, we are all Chinese, this is the relationship between us, so I give a clear appraisal conclusion is not a violation of the rules, foreigners do not apply our set of play.

I can say with great certainty that this blue and white plum vase is a fake, to be more accurate, this is a high imitation Yongle blue and white plum vase fired in recent years, the imitation level is good, and there is a certain amount of confusion!

I don't know how much money you spent on this plum vase? Brother Fang, if it exceeds 200 euros, then you will lose money! A high-imitation Yongle blue-and-white plum vase like this is worth one or two thousand yuan in the Beijing Liuli Factory.

The box containing the blue and white plum vase is a genuine antique, if I am not mistaken, it should come from the early years of the Republic of China, it is worth about three or four thousand yuan, and it is the sky, I am talking about RMB"

Before he finished speaking, Brother Fang's face was already pale, it was difficult to see the extreme, his eyes were instantly blood-red, and it was a little scary to look at!

Fortunately, his physical condition was not bad, he only shook back and forth twice, and did not fall to the ground.

As soon as he stabilized his body, he began to talk to himself in despair.

"How can it be a fake? All places are in line with the characteristics of the Yongle blue and white plum vase, it is because of these remarkable characteristics that I judge that this is Yongle blue and white, Ye Tian, could it be that you are wrong?"

Not only Brother Fang, but also the other two Chinese at the table where he was sitting, a middle-aged woman and a girl in their teens and twenties, their faces also became extremely ugly, and even left tears of anxiety.

No need to ask, it must be Brother Fang's wife and children, but fortunately, the ability of the family of three to control their emotions is not bad, and they didn't cry.

Seeing the performance of their family, Ye Tian still didn't understand.

This family was severely cheated by the foreigner antique shopkeeper, even if they didn't go bankrupt, they were also pit to hemorrhage, not a few years or more than ten years of hard work, don't want to slow down!

The rest of the guests in the restaurant were not stupid, and they understood the situation in front of them in the blink of an eye, and they began to talk about it.

"I'll go! Such a beautiful blue and white plum vase turned out to be a fake, it's over, that buddy from Tianjin must have lost a lot of money!"

"Is there any mistake? There are also high-imitation porcelain in Europe, isn't that the same as Pan Jiayuan? It seems that we also have to be careful, lest we be pitted by dead foreigners, and we won't cry anymore!"

While there was a lot of discussion, several Chinese people at the scene showed a frightened expression on their faces, they should have encountered similar fake antiques, but they didn't make a move!

Listening to these discussions, Ye Tian couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, and then said aloud:

"As a reminder, you must be careful when traveling abroad, not only thieves, but also all kinds of scammers, and the antique art market in Europe and the United States is also full of fakes.

As our country is getting richer, everyone's wallets are getting more and more bulging, and the number of people traveling abroad is increasing.

Some scammers even specialize in Chinese tourists, antique scams are one of them, scammers buy high-quality antique artworks from China, sell them as genuine products to Chinese who travel abroad, and make a lot of money!"

"I'm going to go! It's so damn immoral, who are we going to provoke?

"It seems that Europe is not only full of thieves, but also many swindlers!

There was once again a lot of discussion at the scene, and every voice implied anger.

After a pause, Ye Tian continued:

"Antique scammers take advantage of the lack of identification ability, after all, we are not professionals, rarely contact antique artworks in life, and basically do not have too good identification ability.

Moreover, in the eyes of many Chinese people, most of the Chinese antique artworks that appear in the European and American markets are lost cultural relics that were plundered by the invaders.

If there was indeed such a possibility more than 20 years ago, at that time, all kinds of high-quality Chinese antique artworks had not yet entered the European and American markets in a big way, and the genuine goods on the market did account for the majority!

In recent years, with the sustained and rapid development of China's economy, the collection of Chinese antiques has become more and more popular, not only domestically, but also internationally!

Seeing this, many European and American antique dealers bought a large number of high-quality imitation or even shoddy rags from China and placed them in their own antique shops to trap Chinese tourists.

When you go out to travel, the time you spend in Europe and the United States must be limited, even if you know that you have been cheated afterwards, because of the relationship between time and distance, you often have to go away and suffer a dumb loss!

It is precisely by taking advantage of these loopholes that some unscrupulous European and American antique dealers, or European and American swindlers, can become popular, take money out of our Chinese pockets again and again, and make a windfall!

The blue and white plum vase that Brother Fang bought was a piece of high-imitation porcelain, and it should have been fired for no more than two years, and it had already been shipped to Europe and turned into Ming Yongle blue and white!

What is the price of high-quality imitation porcelain? Only a few thousand yuan of excellent imitation porcelain are made; what is the price of Yongle blue and white plum vase? It is top-quality antique porcelain worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of yuan!

"Hissβ€”β€”!"

On the first floor of the Swan Restaurant, there was a gasp of cold air.

At the same time, everyone looked at Brother Fang, his wife and children, and everyone's eyes were full of sympathy and a little lucky!

Fortunately, the unlucky person is not himself, otherwise he would be the one who wants to cry without tears now!

Ye Tian's voice still kept coming, clearly reaching everyone's ears.

"For the sake of 100 per cent profits, the capitalists dare to trample on all human laws, and if there are 300 per cent profits, the capitalists dare to commit any crime, even to the risk of being hanged.

Marx's famous sentence Everyone must know that the difference in value between thousands of dollars of high imitation porcelain and Yongle blue and white plum vases worth tens of millions of dollars is tens of thousands of times, can it not make people crazy?

In fact, as long as you are careful, whenever you encounter this kind of pie-in-the-sky good thing, think about it with your brains, you should still be able to avoid falling into the trap and being slaughtered as a fat sheep by those liars!

In recent years, Chinese antique artworks have been so hot, constantly creating jaw-dropping transaction prices, how can a priceless Ming Yongle blue and white plum vase be so easy to come across?

You know, this is Brussels, the headquarters of the European Union, the capital of Europe, and it is not a poor country with no way of knowing the market value of Chinese antique art.

If these guys have top-quality Chinese antique art, the first thing they do is to send it to the major auction houses.

If they don't do that, but instead put the so-called antique art on sale in their own stores, then everyone should be careful, this is probably a pit dug for Chinese tourists!

In Europe and the United States, if you don't have superb discernment skills and want to buy antique art, it's best to go to the auctions of major auction houses, that channel is more credible!"

Hearing this, all the Chinese in the restaurant were completely stupid, and their backs were cold and cold!

"I'll go! This is too sinister and cunning, it seems that all the antique dealers at home and abroad are all the same dog, all eat people and don't spit out bones!"

Fortunately, my buddy is not interested in antique art, and he doesn't have much money in his wallet, otherwise he might really be deceived and slaughtered by someone!"

In the midst of emotion, Brother Fang, whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot and wanted to cry without tears, said in frustration:

"Yes, this time I lost a lot of money, I thought I was lucky, a pie fell from the sky, but it turned out to be a bomb, almost blowing myself to pieces, this lesson is too profound!

I'm going to smash this worthless, and I'm going to be angry with him, I'll never play with antiques again, it's not that material!"

As he spoke, Brother Fang gritted his teeth and stretched out his hands, ready to pick up the blue and white plum vase on the table and smash it to smash it to relieve the hatred in his heart.

At this moment, Ye Tian smiled and said:

"Don't be in a hurry to smash it yet!Brother Fang, this matter is still delayed!"

"What? This matter is still delayed, I heard it right? Ye Tian, didn't you say that this is a high-imitation fake?"

Brother Fang's hands stopped in the air, and his eyes, which were originally gray, lit up in an instant, flashing the light of hope again.
