Chapter 4 Audition site

When he noticed the magical function of the ring, Tang Xin was overjoyed and decided to find a few more antiques to try.

So, he came out of the room, turned on the light, and saw an antique Xuande furnace on the antique shelf, so he put his hand with the ring on the stove.

Just like just now, the information picture about this Xuande furnace was displayed in front of Tang Xin's eyes like a movie.

From these pictures, Tang Xin saw the entire production process of this Xuande furnace: molding, sand hanging, roasting, cleaning, polishing, and coloring.

The workshop was a very modern high-end workshop, and the leader was a middle-aged man in modern clothes.

From this, it can be judged that this Xuande furnace treasured by Su Mingxuan is actually a high-imitation modern handicraft.

Next, Tang Xin experimented with other collections on the antique shelves one by one, according to the information screen obtained by the ring, most of these collections are objects with historical and cultural relics value, but there are also a few fakes and modern crafts.

At about seven o'clock the next morning, Su Mingxuan came to the store and said to Tang Xin: "The provincial TV station "Baojian" column group has a treasure audition activity today, and the location is in the exhibition hall of the Hengjiang Art Museum, are you interested in going to see it?"

Tang Xin said with a little hesitation: "I don't have a collection in my hand, and I don't have the money to go to the scene to pick up the leaks, so don't go!"

Su Mingxuan persuaded: "You still have to take a look with me, and it's okay to open your eyes." I heard that Chen Yunhan, the host of the "Baojian" column group, will also go to the audition site. She is one of the most famous celebrity hosts in China, and it is worth it for you to see her beauty!"

Tang Xin smiled: "Brother Su, I'm not a star chaser. Although Chen Yunhan is beautiful and intellectual, known as a 'heartthrob', for me, a small worker who worries about his livelihood every day, it is an unattainable mountain, and it really doesn't matter if I see it or not. ”

Su Mingxuan also laughed: "I know that you only have your little junior sister in your heart, and you have no interest in other girls." In this way, today is a trip for you to accompany me to the audition site. If you see something you like on the spot, and the other party intends to make a move, you tell me, and I will lend you money to receive the goods. ”

Tang Xin knew that at the audition site of the "Baojian" column, there would be thousands of people holding all kinds of precious collections to go to experts for identification. Among them, some of the most valuable or representative collections, experts will invite collectors to appreciate the treasures on the program.

However, there are also some antiques or old objects that cannot be on the show, and collectors will find buyers to sell them on the spot.

Therefore, many antique shop owners will go to the audition site to shop for goods and "pick up leaks".

"Brother Su, when you went to the audition site today, did you want to pick up the leaks or do you want to identify your own collection?" asked Tang Xin.

"It's a bit of both. Su Mingxuan pointed to the antique shelf with his hand: "Do you see the Xuande furnace on the right? I bought it from a Tibetan friend ten days ago." In my judgment, it is an authentic Ming Xuande ear punching furnace. I would like to ask an expert to appraise it, strive to be on the 'Treasure Table' of the "Treasure Test" program, and then sell it after obtaining a certificate of authenticity. ”

Tang Xin showed a strange look on his face, and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Brother Su, this Xuande furnace is probably a high-imitation modern handicraft, if you take it for identification, it will damage the reputation of your shop." ”

Su Mingxuan was taken aback: "How can you tell that this is a handicraft? Before buying this thing, I have asked several friends with good eyesight to see it, and they all say that this stove is genuine, and they envy me for picking up a big leak." What do you think is wrong with it?"

Tang Xin couldn't tell him the magical function of his ring, so he had to say vaguely: "I can't tell what's wrong with this stove, but please believe me: this is definitely a modern handicraft, and it's best not to bring it to the audition site for expert identification." ”

Su Mingxuan was displeased and said: "Xiao Tang, since you can't tell where this Xuande furnace is, don't easily conclude that it is a modern handicraft, which is very taboo in the antique industry, understand?"

Tang Xin didn't want to say anything, so he had to nod his head, indicating that he understood.

Half an hour later, Su Mingxuan and Tang Xin arrived at the Hengjiang Art Museum.

At this time, the square outside the art museum was already crowded.

Thousands of collectors with all kinds of collections in their hands are gathering in front of the eight experts, in piles and clusters, asking the experts to appraise the treasures in the order they received them in the morning.

Su Mingxuan received the treasure number at four o'clock in the morning, ranking twentieth in the "bronze category", and it took about half an hour for him to take his turn.

While waiting for the treasure appreciation, Su Mingxuan began to appreciate the collections in each other's hands with some Tibetan friends.

"Mr. Su, your Xuande furnace is too eye-catching, and it is genuine at first glance. Where did you get that?"

A Tibetan friend held Su Mingxuan's Xuande furnace and looked left and right, with an envious expression on his face.

Su Mingxuan said quite proudly: "Mr. Liang, this is what I bought from a child of a family, it is said to be the ancestral treasure of his family, and I have been reluctant to sell, I went to his house three times before convincing him to sell it to me." ”

Speaking of this, he turned his head to look at Tang Xin and said, "Xiao Tang, listen to Mr. Liang's evaluation, he is an expert, and at a glance, you can know that my incense burner is a treasure that goes straight to the point." If you really want to mix in this industry, you must first practice your eyesight, so that you can have a future for development, understand?"

After all, Tang Xin was young and vigorous, and when he heard Su Mingxuan say this, he couldn't help but feel competitive, and said a little unconvinced: "Brother Su, I'm really not mistaken, your Xuande furnace is indeed a high-imitation handicraft, and I also know the appearance and name of the imitator." ”

"Then tell me: what is the name of the imitator, and what are the physical characteristics?" asked Su Mingxuan patiently.

"The imitator's name is Ai Zecheng, about 1.7 meters tall, relatively strong, black and red skin, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a burn scar the size of a copper coin on his forehead, which should have been accidentally splashed with hot copper juice when he burned the bronze ware. ”

Tang Xin recalled according to the image he saw when he touched the Xuande furnace.

Su Mingxuan and Mr. Liang glanced at each other, and suddenly they both laughed.

Mr. Liang said in a teasing tone: "Young man, you are also too humorous, and you speak with a nose and eyes, as if you have seen the scene of the imitation with your own eyes." It's a pity that this incense burner is indeed the Xuande furnace of the Ming Dynasty.

"If you don't believe me, I can make a small bet with you: after the expert appraisal, if the incense burner is genuine, you can buy me a Chinese cigarette, and if it is a high imitation, I will buy you two Chinese cigarettes. How?"

Tang Xin agreed: "Okay, I'll make a small bet with you." ”

Su Mingxuan smiled: "Xiao Tang, your cigarette is lost." However, it's also good to spend a few hundred dollars on a lesson!"

After another ten minutes, it was finally Su Mingxuan's turn to appreciate the treasure.
