I also chimed in: "It's quite magnificent, but I really haven't heard of this appraisal agency." Then, I took out my phone and searched the Internet.

At this time, a young man came out and said with a smile: "You are Mr. Wang, right?"

Da Zhuang was stunned for a moment, and the young man continued: "You can just call me Xiao Lu, just now, let's talk on the phone..."

Da Zhuang said, "Oh, hello, hello. ”

Xiao Lu hurriedly stepped forward to shake hands, and then led us to the identification center.

Entering the antique appraisal center, the style inside, let us feel surprised, a display of precision instruments, many specimens are displayed in many polly cabinets, and one by one the appraisal personnel, carefully inspect all kinds of objects, full of sense of science and technology.

"Hey, Brother Niu, it seems that this appraisal center is very powerful. "Da Zhuang is like Grandma Liu has entered the Grand View Garden, and she is very curious about what she sees.

I didn't talk to them, and I was very interested to see them identify the objects.

Seeing this, Xiao Lu enthusiastically introduced to us: "Our center is a quality inspection organization authorized by the Cultural Relics and Jewelry Certification and Supervision Committee. Strong technical force, with a number of doctors, masters and other technical backbone, most of the jewelry inspectors have the national registered jewelry quality inspector qualification, the internationally renowned jewelry quality inspector qualification, precious metal analysts have a bachelor's degree or above, and the center also has many international cutting-edge testing instruments. The talent advantages and advanced testing instruments of the center provide a strong technical support for the testing service. ”

Da Zhuang nodded frequently, but I was not interested in these, interrupted Xiao Lu's introduction, and asked, "Your center is Zhen... Did Mr. Zhen's family invest?"

Xiao Lu was very surprised, but his professionalism was really good, and he quickly adjusted, and asked more enthusiastically: "Yes, sir, do you know our boss?"

"Oh, the name of the Zhen family is like thunder, divine friendship, divine friendship. "I gritted my teeth word for word.

Da Zhuang and Xiao Lu both listened very awkwardly, Da Zhuang wanted to ask me, but he didn't say it.

Xiaolu Machinery continued to introduce: "Mr. Wang and the boss, our center takes "fairness, science, accuracy and standardization" as the quality policy, and provides high-quality technical services for all walks of life in line with the purpose of accurate and efficient service. The main testing business scope mainly includes cultural relics dating, carbon 14 testing, jewelry and jade identification, diamond grading, ornamental stone identification, precious metal purity testing, the thickness of precious metal plating in jewelry, nickel release and the determination of harmful elements in jewelry. ”

Took us around, I didn't speak, and the hatred in my heart slowly welled up in my heart.

Da Zhuang saw that I was not in the right state, and wanted to finish the matter as soon as possible, so he hurried back, so he asked directly: "Do you charge for appraisal?"

Xiao Lu was stunned for a moment, probably never answering such an idiot's question, "Mr. Wang, that's the case, our center is actually an enterprise." The words are very tactful, but the meaning is already clear. Any enterprise in the world is for the purpose of profit, how can it be possible to identify without charging?

Da Zhuang probably also felt that the question was inappropriate, and hurriedly said, "I mean, what is this charging standard?"

"Oh, that's Mr. Wang, the cost of item identification in each category is different. I don't know what you're trying to identify today?"

Da Zhuang laughed proudly, and under the thief's head and thief's brain, Xiao Lu looked confused.

Then, Da Zhuang took out the bronze Gui from his bag.

Xiao Lu hurriedly covered his mouth, pulled Da Zhuang to a secluded place, and asked in a soft voice, "You are bronze?"

This time it was Da Zhuang's turn to be confused, and asked puzzledly: "Yes, what's wrong?"

"You thing..."Xiao Lu stopped talking, "It is forbidden to buy and sell in China." ”

"I was introduced by Manager Wang Xiaoli of Beijing Fengrui Auction House. Da Zhuang said, when he asked for the contact information just now, Wang Xiaoli instructed her to mention her name if she encountered difficulties in the identification.

Xiao Lu listened and said, "Oh, it's Sister Wang's friend." Xiao Lu laughed, but the smile was too bright and a little weird.

Da Zhuang hurriedly said, "Yes, she asked me to come over, and said that it will definitely be done, you see, let's arrange it?" Da Zhuang pretended to be very familiar, after all, acquaintances are easy to do.

"Yes, yes, since we are all friends, let's do this, 20,000 yuan appraisal fee, I will give you an appraisal as soon as possible. Xiao Lu said.

It didn't matter if he said this, Da Zhuang quickly dropped his jaw and shouted, "How much?"

This voice attracted the attention of many people, and everyone looked sideways at us.

Xiao Lu hurriedly waved his hand, signaling that it was okay. "Mr. Wang, don't shout, everyone is working. What do you mean by that?" said with these complaints.

"Well, I'm sorry, this appraisal fee is too expensive. Da Zhuang explained very embarrassedly.

"You are a bronze, this price is already very favorable, and we can't give you a report, only a certificate. By the way, ** can't be opened for you either. Xiao Lu said, his tone even more unpolite.

"No, Manager Wang needs to report, your ** is a trivial matter. Oh, the main price..."Da Zhuang said, already a little incoherent.

I suddenly felt even more bad, and I thought in my heart, which formal testing agency would only have a certificate without a report, and it would not open **?" "Mr. Lu, it's not good for you to do this, am I going to find it..."

"You should know this gentleman. This bronzes are illegal. This appraisal is rarely done, and the authenticity of the general bronzes is in the third dynasty of the Xia and Shang dynasties, and the difficulty of identification is also very high, so this price..."Xiao Lu really hit the plan, and hurriedly explained.

But I always felt that something was wrong. "Then why didn't you report it?"

"This..."Xiao Lu hesitated a little, "That's the case, our appraisal of this kind of bronze is unacceptable. We can only take a few inspectors to take personal work, and wait for others to leave at night..."

I figured out what to do, and said, "If this is not genuine, do you still charge an appraisal fee? Because your appraisal fee is too high." Since it's a personal matter, let's talk about it privately. ”

"This gentleman, that's the case, as long as we appraise it, no matter what the result is, we will have to charge a fee. Moreover, our certificate needs to be reviewed step by step before it can be stamped, and you know, this layer of relationship... You need money to open the way. Xiao Lu continued.

At this time, Da Zhuang pulled down my arm and said to me in embarrassment: "Brother Niu, see if you can lend me 20,000 yuan first, and wait for this bronze to be sold..."

I interrupted him, not that I didn't want to lend him money, but I always felt that a conspiracy awaited us, and I fell into deep thought.
