Chapter 259: Ancient Meaning
"So there are a lot of things in this auction, but they are also miscellaneous enough, not necessarily whether a thing is a good thing or a bad thing, and you can't mix it up without a good eye. It is possible that someone else thinks something is bad and auctioned it at a low price, but you can see that it is a good thing so you pick it up at a low price, this possibility is still quite large, to put it bluntly, it is just higher than the eyesight of the buyer and the auctioneer. ”
After a pause, Zheng Yonghe said again: "As for whether Zheng Bei is going to the auction...... I don't really know. But you see, if he's not going to go to the auction, there's no need to go with someone who is qualified to enter the auction, right?"
"That's right...... Alright, I'll contact you if I have something. ”
Hung up the phone, Zheng Zheng pondered for a while, and didn't think of a good way to deal with Zheng Bei, anyway, the soldiers came to block the water and cover the earth, if Zheng Bei had to compete with himself, he wouldn't stop him.
Putting this matter aside and not caring about it, Zheng Zheng began to appreciate the antiques he put on the bed, these antiques bought with a pound of copper coins, the cost price was only 150,000 yuan, but the value was more than 10 million, in Zheng Zheng's opinion, it was really his most successful investment.
But looking at this, Zheng Zheng felt that something was wrong.
What made Zheng Zheng start to feel that something was wrong was a small jade bottle, looking at the statue, this jade bottle should be an ornament, which has no practical use, but the jade material is quite good. At that time, Zheng Zheng didn't look at the jade bottle carefully, but the estimate given by the bronze balance was worth more than one million, so Zheng Zheng accepted the jade bottle.
But now that he took a closer look at the jade bottle, Zheng Zheng felt that something was wrong.
Got up and closed all the curtains and blackout cloths in the room, the room was suddenly dark, Zheng Zheng turned on the bedside lamp, put the jade bottle under the bedside lamp and looked at it carefully.
Under the light, the jade bottle is shining, and it is called a beautiful one.
But the more Zheng Zheng frowned, the tighter he wrinkled, and he flicked his fingers on the jade bottle, and the jade bottle suddenly made a crisp sound. Zheng Zheng, who listened attentively to this crisp sound, pondered for a moment, flicked his fingers again, and listened to this crisp sound again.
"Hiss......"
Zheng Zheng, who had been pondering for a long time, took out the cold air, took out the bronze balance he was carrying, put the bronze balance on the table and put it in an orderly manner, and then touched the jade bottle with one hand.
On the weighing pan of the bronze scale, the image of a jade bottle suddenly appeared, and on the weighing pan on the other side were several weights, which added up to represent the price of one million.
Looking at the weights displayed on the weighing pan, Zheng Zheng's brows furrowed even tighter. He looked around, picked up the water glass from his hotel room, and then looked at the bronze scale.
Now, the valuation weight given on the bronze balance is almost only a thin layer, and looking at the price display, this water cup is only a price of ten or twenty yuan.
Putting the water cup aside, Zheng Zheng picked up the jade bottle again, and looked at the bronze scale, the estimate given by the bronze scale was still one million, exactly the same as the previous valuation in the antique shop.
Without looking at the bronze scale, Zheng Zheng took the jade bottle in his hand and looked at it carefully, his fingers twisting lightly on the jade bottle, trying to find the jade feel that matched it. However, after pondering in his heart, all the jade qualities that Zheng Zheng had experienced were different from the materials of this jade bottle, and they didn't match the number at all. And the material of this jade bottle is eight points similar to glass in terms of touch.
And the opening carving of this jade bottle is really too rounded.
However, all this kind of carved antiques, because of the limited conditions at that time, it is impossible to have very sophisticated instruments to use, so the delicate work of carving jade, especially carving the mouth of the bottle, has to be carved by skilled craftsmen with carving knives little by little. Although it is also sanded and polished after carving, there are always some traces of knife carving that cannot be concealed.
After modern times have machine tools and the like, those antique handicrafts produced from the assembly line, there is basically no trace of knife carving, it can be said that from the appearance, those handicrafts without the slightest flaw are more beautiful than antiques.
But no matter how good it looks, handicrafts are still handicrafts, and they can't be compared with antiques. Whoever sells a handicraft as an antique is selling a fake.
And the jade bottle with a bronze balance priced at one million in Zheng Zheng's hand now, Zheng Zheng relied on the light of the bedside lamp to look at the inner wall of the mouth of the jade bottle, and was stunned to see no trace of knife carving.
Looking at the jade bottle in his hand, Zheng Zheng shook his head and said to himself: "Fake? This joke is a little too big, isn't it......"
said so, but Zheng Zheng can already confirm that after the identification of the bronze scales in his hand, the jade bottle priced at one million is a stained glass handicraft made in batches on the assembly line, if this is an antique, then this is a ten out of ten fakes. For this, Zheng Zheng is confident, after coming into contact with so many antiques, after carefully observing whether a thing is glass or jade, Zheng Zheng has absolute certainty.
Zheng Zheng is sure that the jade bottle is a fake, but this leads to another question that makes Zheng Zheng scratch his head: why does the bronze balance think that this fake is a genuine antique and give it a high price of one million?
"Could it be that the treasure has a spirit, I haven't used it for so long, and it plays tricks with me? It can't be so supernatural, right?" Zheng Zheng had unreliable thoughts wandering around in his head, and he couldn't explain what was going on in this situation.
If the bronze balance is broken, but the bronze scale is still quite accurate when it evaluates the teacup in the hotel, how can this be explained?
Holding the jade bottle in his hand, Zheng Zheng secretly said in his heart: "Could it be that the maker of this jade bottle is so awesome that even a treasure like a bronze balance that does not follow the logic at all can be deceived in the past? This is too godly, right? But I can see that this thing is a fake when I look closely, even if it can deceive the bronze scale, then how did it deceive the bronze scale?"
I couldn't figure out a reason left and right, and a conjecture came out of Zheng Zheng's head: "Or is this thing really worth more than one million, I can't see what's so good about this thing?"
Thinking so, Zheng Zheng looked at the jade bottle in his hand carefully, but frowned again when he saw it.
In terms of material, this jade bottle is a glass product with fine workmanship, and in terms of carving, it is a batch product from the assembly line, which is not interesting. But looking at this jade bottle, if he doesn't focus his feelings on a certain place but looks at the jade bottle as a whole, Zheng Zheng can feel a sense of antiquity that seems to have gone through thousands of years from this jade bottle.
The concept of antiquity is a bit mysterious, and when identifying antiques, they are usually screened from the material, statue and carving of antiques, because this is something that can be seen and understood by the naked eye, and it is real evidence. The concept of antiquity is rarely put forward when appraising antiques, because this is a person's subjective consciousness judgment of a thing, and it is really not convincing if it is used as evidence of the authenticity of antiques.
But this is not to say that the concept of antiquity is nonsense, in fact, people who have been exposed to antiques enough or have been dealing with antiques for a long time can naturally feel the difference between antiques and ordinary objects, which is the so-called antiquity, and you can also understand that after growing up and staying with antiques, a person has developed an intuition about things that have been around for years.
Therefore, although some archaeologists are not very good at identifying antiques, they can distinguish between real antiques and fake antiques, and he may not be able to tell if he is reasonable, but he often will not look away. What they rely on is that after spending a long time with real antiques, they can sense the subtleties between an antique and a fake after spending a lot of time with real antiques. This kind of nuance, which has been honed over hundreds of years, can be understood as ancient.
And when he looked at this jade bottle with his heart, Zheng Zheng could also feel from this jade bottle that this jade bottle seemed to have gone through the baptism of thousands of years, and the whole had a thick and ancient meaning.
Putting the jade bottle aside, Zheng Zheng rubbed his face vigorously, feeling very ridiculous in his heart.
A handicraft that may have just come off the assembly line last month has an ancient meaning that has been precipitated for thousands of years? Zheng Zheng began to wonder if there was something wrong with his feelings.
After calming down and pondering for a while, Zheng Zheng looked at the other nine antiques on the bed, and took the bronze balance with a tooth flower.
Since this jade bottle is a fake, then simply use the bronze balance to look at these antiques, and then take a closer look at these antiques to see if there are any problems with these antiques.
After working back and forth, Zheng Zheng looked at the ten antiques on the bed, and he was completely out of temper: these ten antiques have been identified by the bronze balance, and they are all genuine. But after some rigorous and serious appraisal, these ten antiques are all fakes without exception.
And what makes Zheng Zheng even more distempered is that these ten antiques are all antiques, if you just look at this thing and don't touch and ponder it, Zheng Zheng will be deceived by this antiquity, and feel that these things must have at least four or five hundred years of history.
Looking at these ten antiques, Zheng Zheng shook his head: "Now this cost is really literary and artistic, and even the artistic conception can be costed...... The cost is so awesome, does their family know?"
Zheng Zheng, who couldn't figure out how these antiques had deceived the bronze balance, shook his head helplessly, but at this time, a flash of inspiration flashed in his head, allowing him to instantly grasp the word "ancient meaning".
"Ancient meaning...... Ancient ...... Tsk...... "Vaguely, Zheng Zheng felt as if he had grasped something, and the truth of the matter was on this ancient meaning." But after thinking about it further, Zheng Zheng had no clue.
This feeling of being separated by a veil is the most maddening, Zheng Zheng rubbed his hair unhappily, but out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the mobile phone that was put aside.
