Ye Tian chuckled and nodded, and then began to explain the reason.

"This is indeed a high-imitation Yongle blue and white plum vase, sure, I am very confident in my vision, it is absolutely impossible to be wrong, otherwise it will be a wasted name.

The object of its imitation is the Ming Yongle blue and white lotus pattern plum vase in the collection of the National Museum, which is a very famous Ming Yongle blue and white porcelain, which is priceless.

On the basis of the Ming Yongle blue and white lotus pattern plum vase in the National Museum, this high-imitation blue and white plum vase has made some changes slightly, changing the small mouth to an open mouth, which is very confusing!

When I returned to Beijing for the Chinese New Year, I carefully admired the national treasure in the collection of the National Museum, and had the opportunity to personally identify it, which can be said to be very familiar and still fresh in my memory.

Brother Zhang, since you love the collection of antique artworks, you must have seen the national treasure porcelain in the collection of the National Museum, take a closer look, what are the similarities and differences between these two blue and white plum vases?"

Before the words fell, Brother Zhang leaned down impatiently, his eyes widened, and began to carefully examine the high-imitation blue and white plum vase on the table that had almost bankrupted his family.

With Ye Tian's prompt, when he looked at this high-imitation blue and white porcelain again, Brother Zhang saw that something was wrong in the blink of an eye, everything was flawed.

The pattern of the entwined branches and lotus patterns on this blue and white plum vase is exactly the same as the pattern of the Yongle blue and white plum vase in the collection of the National Museum, it is like a copy!

Another point, the bottle mouth is also relatively stiff, the proportion of the bottle mouth and the bottle body is not very coordinated, I am really a mallet! Such a big flaw has not been found!"

Brother Zhang suddenly said with a sense of regret, and he was about to go crazy with remorse.

Of course, his expression was also very embarrassed, his face was flushed, and he was a little embarrassed to look at Ye Tian.

As for his scummy appraisal skills, he is embarrassed to say that he is a lover of antique art collections, which is really embarrassing!

Regarding Brother Zhang's extremely embarrassing performance, Ye Tian didn't see it.

He has seen too many antique art collectors like this, both at home and abroad, and the antique art market is everywhere.

When Brother Zhang's mood calmed down a little, Ye Tian immediately smiled and continued:

"In addition to the proportion of the blue and white entwined lotus pattern and the bottle mouth, if you look at the blue and white halo of this porcelain, is it a little unnatural?

Ming Yongle blue and white porcelain is imported 'Su Ma Liqing', this kind of green material is similar to Yuan blue and white, the hair color is easy to faint, and the halo is very natural, just like the traditional ink painting!

Due to the high iron content of 'Su Ma Liqing', there are often rust spots and tin light in the blue and white patterns, although there are rust spots on this porcelain, but they are bitten out of acid and float on the surface.

In addition to the high iron content, the cobalt oxide content of 'Su Ma Liqing' is also extremely high, the color is blue and purple, and there are marks that look like ink slag, which causes the special fetal eating phenomenon of Yongle blue and white.

You gently touch the bottle of this porcelain with your hand, especially the ornaments, to see if there is a noticeable concave feeling, which is also a distinctive feature of Ming Yongle blue and white,......"

While Ye Tian was telling, Brother Zhang was verifying this piece of porcelain one by one, very seriously.

As time went on, his face became more and more ugly and embarrassed, and his eyes were full of despair and a little self-conscious.

After Ye Tian finished telling his appraisal basis, Brother Zhang also ended the appraisal and was completely dead.

After taking two deep breaths in succession, the Tianjin eldest brother raised his head and looked at Ye Tian with red eyes.

"Convinced! Brother is really convinced, Ye Tian, you deserve to be the top antique art appraisal expert, this appraisal skill is really amazing, brother, I am a good mallet!"

As he spoke, Brother Zhang arched his hands with his fists, his eyes full of admiration.

Ye Tian also clenched his fists and arched his hand, and said with a polite smile:

"You are so popular, Brother Zhang, I also see a lot of good things, I have handled a lot of things, and I have a little bit of understanding, so I slowly practiced it.

If you have the effort, you'd better go to top museums like the Forbidden City and the National Museum, and see more of the collections, I believe you can also practice!"

Brother Zhang shook his head lightly and said in frustration:

"If you want to become an expert in antique artwork, you definitely need extraordinary talent, obviously, brother, I don't have this talent, so I won't be delusional!

By the way, Ye Tian, you just said that this matter is slowing down, do you have a way to change the current result? If there is really a way, you must show your brother a clear way.

To tell the truth, in order to buy this thing, my brother threw most of the family's savings into it, and if it can't be recovered, my brother will lose a lot of money."

After speaking, he looked at Ye Tian eagerly, his eyes were extremely hot and full of anticipation.

Not far away, his wife and children were the same, all looking at Ye Tian expectantly, still full of tears.

Ye Tian chuckled and nodded, and then said:

"Brother Zhang, you just said that when the foreigner antique shopkeeper introduced you to this high-imitation blue and white plum vase, he said that this is a very good piece of Chinese antique porcelain, which is very worthy of collection, right?"

"That's right, that's what the dead foreigner introduced at the time, I remember it very clearly, for sure, my daughter-in-law and daughter were at the scene and heard it.

Our French translator, as well as other tourists at the antique shop at the time, all heard our conversation, both Chinese and foreigners!"

Brother Zhang gritted his teeth and nodded, giving an affirmative answer.

Hearing his answer, Ye Tian immediately said categorically:

That's the end of it, and that's why I'm slowing down, and if you can be sure of that, and get the unanimous testimony of all the witnesses, you'll have a good chance of recovering your losses.

Fortunately, the antique scammer was the owner of an antique shop, not a street vendor at a flea market, and he was able to find his shop and thus identify the antique scammer.

The trading rules of the European and American antique art market are slightly different from those of the domestic market.

The European and American markets are different, since he clearly tells you that this is an antique porcelain, but he sells you a high-imitation porcelain, there is no doubt that he has committed commercial fraud."

Hearing this, the eyes of Brother Zhang and his family immediately lit up, like searchlights.

The despair and frustration in their eyes began to dissipate rapidly, and soon disappeared, replaced by hopeful eyes and high morale.

Although they were extremely excited and rekindled their hopes, they did not interrupt Ye Tian's words, but listened patiently.

After a pause, Ye Tian continued:

"Brother Zhang, there are a few things you have to do next, immediately hire a professional lawyer, and then go with the lawyer to collect testimony and ask those witnesses to testify for you.

Take this high-imitation porcelain to an authoritative testing agency for a scientific test, such as a carbon 14 test, to determine the age of its firing, and then, you can sue the antique liar!

As far as I can estimate, there is a very good chance that this matter will eventually be settled outside the hall, and that antique crook would never want this matter to be made public if he still wants to eat in this industry.

That way, you'll be able to recover your losses, but you may have to pay a lawyer's fee, the cost of conducting the relevant scientific tests, and possibly a delayed trip.

If you can be tough when confronting the other party, you may be able to pass on the legal fees and testing fees to the antique scammer, which is undoubtedly the best outcome.

Since you don't often deal with lawyers and don't know much about European and American laws, I can ask my lawyer to introduce you to a professional lawyer who specializes in commercial fraud.

As for the cost of hiring a lawyer, you don't have to worry about the lawyer's sky-high price, which is definitely the fairest price in the EU market, and I can assure you about that."

Before the words fell, Brother Zhang cheered excitedly.

"Great! Ye Tian, thank you for your guidance, and thank you for your help, I'm going to sue that grandson, I want to pit Lao Tzu, there is no door!"

Ye Tian smiled softly, and then said:

"To make sure nothing goes wrong, you'd better first contact the cultural counsellor of the Chinese embassy in Brussels and ask them to help you stand on your feet, and the embassy compatriots will not refuse.

Once you've contacted the embassy's cultural counsellor, met with lawyers, and made your preparations, don't forget to contact the media and police in Brussels, as well as the Chinese media in Brussels.

China's relations with the EU and Belgium are not bad, and European countries want to attract more Chinese tourists, and Belgium will not sit idly by for the sake of maintaining its tourism image.

It's important to remember that you have to build momentum in order to attract more attention and put a lot of pressure on that antique scammer to get things resolved.

If you need me to issue an appraisal conclusion, you can contact me directly, although this is Europe, I am very sure that no one can ignore and overturn the appraisal conclusion I have given!"

"Hiss——!"

The swan restaurant was once again filled with gasps.

Including Brother Zhang's family, everyone was shocked by Ye Tian's generosity, and looked at him dumbfounded, their eyes full of incredulity.

This thing is really ruthless, as soon as it is shot, it is ready to put people to death, look at this posture, this is not intended to leave a way for that antique liar to live!

Just when everyone was frightened, a waiter at the Swan Restaurant walked over to Ye Tian's table with a sobered Bordeaux red wine.

Now that the antique appraisal episode is over, it's time to enjoy wine and food!
