Chapter 254: True and False Ivory

"Hello colleagues, I think everyone is clear about my situation, I won't say more, please take your eyes!" Without waiting for Sun Monkey to reply, the owner of the villa came out to greet the guests, a man who was nearly seventy years old, he was relatively thin, and his face was sad.

Tang Yin heard Sun Monkey say that the owner of the villa is called Zhang Qingman, and he went to study in the West when he was young.

After becoming wealthy, he stepped into the ranks of antique collecting, and under the influence of Western culture, he was more inclined to collect Western antiques.

His collection includes a number of rare Western weapons and armor.

However, there were unforeseen circumstances, he took a back seat and handed over the business to his son, but the business went wrong and he urgently needed a large amount of capital turnover.

He had no choice but to sell some of his collection.

"Lao Zhang, you are well-informed, and you know that someone has bought European and American weapons series at a premium, so you have taken out the European and American collections. "When I saw that most of the antiques pushed out on the cart belonged to Europe and the United States, some people immediately started to ridicule them.

"Hey, if there is a little way, I will never come up with it!" Zhang Qingman sighed.

"There are so many treasures!" Tang Yin only glanced at it, and saw that there was a dense treasure aura, and only one of them had a slight problem.

"What do you think of this sword?" Sun Monkey picked up a mace.

The mace is a very powerful weapon, to put it simply, it is like a two-foot-long iron rod, connected to a small durian, this time knocked, even if you are wearing armor, you will definitely be beaten lightly, and even the armor can be pierced.

"It's well preserved!" Tang Yin nodded.

"It's well preserved?" Sun Monkey put it down a little disappointed, Tang Yin didn't bother to comment on the antiques carefully, it was definitely not a high-grade one.

In fact, it is true that using a mace is not technical at all, and it is not very valuable.

If you are not a person who likes weapons collection, I am afraid that even if you see it in the antique market, you will not be interested in picking it up and looking at it.

"How's this helmet?" put the mace down, and Sun Monkey picked up another helmet.

"Very good, well-made......" Seeing the helmet, Tang Yin's eyes lit up, this helmet was different from the hammer just now.

The production process is very sophisticated, and it is obviously not a mass product used by ordinary people.

Not only is it well-made, but it is even decorated with gold and silver to depict the pattern, but the only pity is that there is a scar on the side.

Tang Yin could see at a glance that he was shot by an arrow, but he failed to shoot through the helmet, but left traces of being shot by an arrow.

"Great......" Hearing Tang Yin's comment, Sun Monkey was happy and decided to take off the helmet.

"Within 700,000 yuan, you won't make much money if you exceed this price!" Sun Monkey was about to talk about trading, and Tang Yin told him the reserve price in a low voice.

Sun Monkey left in a hurry, and Tang Yin still stayed where he was to look at it.

Hey?

Looking at it, Tang Yin saw a white flaky item, with a very peculiar shape, and it was fluttering when he picked it up.

"Ivory?" picked it up and took a closer look, Tang Yin first judged the material, this strangely shaped sheet turned out to be an ivory product.

"Xiao Tang, you don't really think this is an ivory item, do you?"

"It turned out to be Uncle Zhou, is there any explanation?" Tang Yin turned his head and looked, it turned out to be the owner of a shop on the antique street, surnamed Zhou, Zhou Shufeng, and Sun Laogen had a good relationship, so he became familiar with Tang Yin after coming and going, because of his age, Tang Yin called him Uncle Zhou.

"Of course there is a saying, to be said

This item ......" Uncle Zhou looked at Zhang Qingman, and then explained to Tang Yin in a low voice.

It turned out that this item was encountered by Zhang Qingman on the antique street ten years ago, and he thought he had missed it and bought it for 1,000 yuan.

But then everyone realized that something was wrong, because the color was too white.

Ivory, although it is white, it is not white, there is no variegation at all, in fact, the white of the ivory is a milky white, and even some are slightly yellow, but the one Tang Yin holds in his hand is too white, even so white that it has a little crystal feeling.

This is not a characteristic of natural ivory at all, so much so that after Zhang Qingman bought it, it was unanimously recognized as an artificial ivory product.

"So there is still such a story?" Tang Yin looked at the flake in his hand, and sure enough, the color was too white.

Because white is fake?

Tang Yan carefully looked at the suspected ivory products in his hand, looked at it, and suddenly thought of a possibility, and approached the sheet with internal force.

Swish!

The flakes suddenly flashed, albeit not very dazzling.

"Hey, Tang Yin, did it flash just now?" When the flakes that appeared to be ivory products flashed, Sun Monkey happened to walk back.

"It's a reflected light!" Tang Yin said casually.

He has now determined that this is ivory.

The reason why the color is too white refers to a somewhat sparkling sensation because it has been specially treated.

Tang Yin's attempt to inject internal force just now was really unhindered, making him conclude that this was an ivory product processed by a supernatural powerhouse.

Through the processing of supernatural powerhouses, it is no longer a pure natural ivory product, of course, there will be a difference.

"I thought it was glowing, guess what price I bought it?" Sun Monkey held the helmet and showed off like Tang Yin.

"Five hundred thousand!"

"You, you, how did you guess so accurately?" Sun Monkey's face suddenly fell, but he didn't expect Tang Yin to guess it the first time he spoke.

"Have you forgotten who I am?"

"Dizzy, I'm dizzy too!" Hearing Tang Yin's words, Sun Monkey suddenly realized.

Tang Yin knew that the price was not guessed at all, but listened.

He knew that Tang Yin was a supernatural powerhouse, and his hearing was far superior to that of ordinary people, and he could hear extremely subtle and faint sounds clearly.

He was negotiating with Zhang Qingman just now, located next to the sofa against the wall, seven or eight meters away from Tang Yin, even if ordinary people listened carefully, they could faintly hear the conversation, with Tang Yin's keen ear, of course he could hear it clearly, do you still need to guess?

"When will I be able to reach your level?" Sun Monkey asked.

"As long as you are willing to work hard, there will be such a day!" Tang Yin encouraged, he did not think that Sun Monkey would be able to reach the point where he is now.

Because Sun Monkey has just started to practice martial arts, he has already missed the best age group, and it is difficult to achieve much.

Unless there is a huge amount of resources to support it, it is forced to pile up with drugs, or there are other adventures, it is basically impossible.

"Great!" Sun Monkey bared his teeth and claws a little.

"Old man, how do you sell these two pieces?" Soon Tang Yin chose the item he wanted, a Western-style knife, plus an unusually white piece of ivory.

"Knife, 700,000, the other one is a giveaway!" Zhang Qingman looked at the two items in Tang Yin's hand.

The knife is a Damascus knife, and even if it has been preserved to this day, the blade is still undamaged, and the handle is inlaid with precious stones.

It shows that the owner of the knife should be a person of great status.

It's a pity that the name is not engraved on the knife, so it is impossible to be sure

Determine who the owner of the knife is, otherwise I am afraid that the price will at least double.

"Are you sure it's a giveaway?" asked Tang Yin with a smile.

According to his speculation, this piece of ivory carved into a piece should have been a part of a certain artifact, which was artificially disassembled.

Its value, in the eyes of those who don't know the goods, is a piece of artificial ivory, fake, maybe no one wants a dollar.

However, when you meet someone who knows the goods, you don't change your money!

Because the purity of the treasure on the ivory parts and the treasure on the spherical secret treasure of the Shura Gate that Tang Yin had just obtained, was even equal in purity.

Treasure can't deceive people, it is enough to prove the value of this ivory product, but only Tang Yin can see pearls with his eyes.

Because of this, in order to avoid disputes and troubles in the future, Tang Yin had to confirm with Zhang Qingman.

"Do you think it's real ivory?" Zhang Qingman looked at Tang Yin and shook his head, he was too young.

"I think it's true!" Tang Yin nodded.

When some people buy antiques, they will use all the methods that can be used to cheat and deceive, but Tang Yin has his bottom line, and he must not be abducted.

"Okay, since you think it's true, give a hundred yuan!" Facing Tang Yin, Zhang Qingman shook his head again.

He has already defined Tang Yin in his heart, that is, a young man who plays tickets, maybe he has a little knowledge of antiques, this kind of person is the easiest to be deceived, precisely because they have some knowledge of antiques, but they only know a little about it, and they are deceived by someone casually.

Good!

Tang Yin didn't say a word about transfers, and now he has said it clearly.

"Old Zhang, don't you know him?" Tang Yin finished the transaction, and a person next to Zhang Qingman asked Zhang Qingman in a familiar whisper.

"Lao Lei, why do you say that?" Zhang Qingman looked back at his old friend Lao Lei.

"Some time ago, at the treasure appraisal meeting, someone leaked a night pearl from a jade seal, worth 100 million, you should have heard of it, right?"

"Of course I've heard of it, it's said to be a young and handsome face, but it's a pity that I've been out of town for a while, and it's not long since I returned to Longmen, I'm planning to have time to take a look, and I know this young man, to see if it's a hot eye?" Zhang Qingman nodded to indicate that he knew.

"You've seen it already!"

"Have you seen it?" Hearing this, Zhang Qingman looked at the people in the living room, young people, there were five of them, two of whom he knew.

The only people he didn't know were Tang Yin, Sun Monkey, and another person.

"It's the tallest one!"

"It seems that the rumors may not be true, a product that is obviously artificial ivory can be regarded by him as real ivory, and it is vain, maybe he was able to discover the night pearl in the first place, not by his eyesight, but by chance!" Hearing that an old friend told him that he was Tang Yin, Zhang Qingman shook his head in disappointment again.

"You are wrong, he is Sun Laogen's apprentice, and his identification ability has been recognized by many people on the antique street, and he is not in vain. ”

"You also saw it just now, the artificial ivory products I put in my eyes ten years ago were recognized by him as real, how do you explain it?"

"You say, could it be real ivory, it's just some special factors that make the color of the ivory look particularly white!" Lao Lei guessed.

"Wouldn't it?" Hearing the speculation of his old friend Lao Lei, Zhang Qingman was also a little uneasy.

After all, when he collected it, he also thought it was real ivory, but it was only later that people who saw it said it was fake, which made him shake.

"Why don't we go over and ask?" Lao Lei saw that Zhang Qingman was not calm, so he instigated him to go over and ask Tang Yin about it.
