The person who found fault couldn't help but get nervous when he saw this scene.

Although he was pretending to be relaxed, Zhao Tianming could see that he should be quite nervous now, but he also seemed to have his confidence, which made Zhao Tianming a little unable to see through, and couldn't help but look at the red coral carvings above.

The auctioneer spoke again: "Since that gentleman has doubts about the appraisal work of our auction house, we will re-appraise it again on the spot." If there is no problem, I also ask the gentleman to apologize on the spot. ”

The man sneered: "Re-appraisal? It's your auction house appraiser again, what results can be identified? Is it true or false, and it's not your mouth?"

The auctioneer stared at the guy very seriously for a moment: "This gentleman, your words and deeds have caused serious reputational damage to my auction house. After a while, we will invite collectors, antique players, and cultural relics appraisal workers to watch together, and it is definitely not our auction house singing about itself. Once there is no problem, we will not only ask you to apologize, you will also receive a letter from our lawyer, please pay attention to check. ”

This time, the auction house is in earnest.

They Jinhe Auction House has been established for so many years, and it is the first time that they have been questioned on the spot at the auction, which is a naked provocation and cannot be tolerated.

"Who's afraid of whom?" the man still had a hard mouth.

Zhao Tianming knew that that guy really had confidence, but where did his confidence come from? He also seriously suspected that this person was definitely here to make trouble, and he was basically sent by his peers.

In this way, the person behind the ghost is obvious, it is not Tianhong Auction House, who else?

Zhao Tianming didn't expect that the people of Tianhong Auction House would dare to mess around with this joint, could it be that the case of the Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau really didn't make them have a little restraint?

He stood up and walked towards Mr. Yang and the others.

"Mr. Yang, how did that item come about? I want to take a look at it first. Zhao Tianming said to Vice President Yang.

"You check first, then it's better. This item was also bought out by our auction house. Do you suspect that this red coral carving was dug by someone else?" said Mr. Yang with a frown.

He then simply filtered through the experience of how he got it, and felt that there should be no problem.

Not only did Lu Tong, an appraiser of their auction house, see it, but he hadn't gotten back to Yangcheng at the beginning, but when he was in Nanjing, some experts helped him to palm his eyes and said that there was no problem.

They have been an auction house for so many years, and if they don't pay attention to these, it will be for nothing.

From the Republic of China period, there was a pure chemical "celluloid", which burned coral glaze on the outside, coated with lead, coated with a layer of coral patent leather and painted with texture, and carved into beads with cow bones or talc, which was stained with red, and was a fake and counterfeit vessel sold as coral.

Some of these methods have survived to this day, but they are not difficult to identify.

The "coral" made of material contains bubbles inside, and the broken ballast is shiny, and there is no real coral fingerprint-like pattern; the "coral" made of glass is a shell-shaped fracture, while the real coral notch is smooth; the "coral" made of flour is shiny and black, and there are cracks for a long time, and the sound of hitting each other is muffled; and the "coral" made of bone keratin can be immediately distinguished by wiping it with acetone.

Red corals have longitudinal stripes that are parallel to the direction of coral growth and are closely arranged. The cross-section of the red coral has rings like tree rings, and these two textures should be noted when identifying them with the naked eye.

When viewed in length, the coral has parallel growth lines in the longitudinal direction of parallel coral columns. If it is a ring face, it is generally on the back, and if it is a carved piece, there is it on the surface.

When viewed horizontally, the cross-section of the coral has growth striations that resemble growth rings, ranging from small to large. There are concentric circles of growth patterns, which can generally be seen on coral ornaments.

"That guy doesn't seem to be worried, he is very confident, Mr. Yang, where do you think his confidence comes from?" Zhao Tianming shook his head and said.

He was very skeptical that there was something wrong with the object itself. I heard Mr. Yang say just now that there seems to be no loopholes, but it can't stand up to pondering, and in some places, it's still a bit of a coincidence.

Zhao Tianming took the red coral in his hand, and the ancient mirror immediately transmitted the information of the red coral carving to his mind.

Seeing that Zhao Tianming was holding the carving and looking at it for almost twenty seconds, Vice President Yang asked softly, "How is it?"

He saw that Zhao Tianming's face was not very good-looking, and he knew that something might be wrong. At the auction, being questioned is an embarrassing thing in itself, and if it really comes out of fakes, in the future, in the industry, they may not be able to get up.

Therefore, Vice President Yang's voice was trembling.

Zhao Tianming raised his head, took a deep breath, and squeezed out a smile: "Mr. Yang, don't worry too much, the matter is not serious enough to be irretrievable." For a while, no matter what I do, you have to do your best to cooperate with me, okay?"

Vice President Yang listened to Zhao Tianming's words and nodded suddenly.

He trusts Zhao Tianming very much, his ability is currently the highest level of their auction house, and he has saved their auction house in time, what can't be trusted?

"Okay, okay, you can do whatever you want. ”

Hearing Zhao Tianming's words, he knew that something must have gone wrong with this red coral carving, but Zhao Tianming had a way to save the reputation of the auction house.

As long as the reputational damage can be minimized, the rest is easy to say. The most important thing in an auction house is reputation, and if the reputation is gone, it is basically finished.

Lu Tong's careful liver was also thumping, they were cautious enough, but they didn't expect to fall into the pit dug by others.

As the struggle between the two close auction houses became more and more intense, Mr. Liu knew that Tianhong Auction House would secretly "poison the hand" and make small moves.

At this time, Lu Tong deeply felt the importance of Zhao Tianming, without him joining, he couldn't support Jinhe alone, and he was not the opponent of Tianhong Auction House at all.

This auction can be regarded as a mistake, and Zhao Tianming was not allowed to inspect the auction items in advance.

If there is such a procedure, all the items that are ready to be auctioned are checked by Zhao Tianming, there should be no current situation, and the auction house will not be so passive.

He said heartily: "In every auction in the future, all the bids must be inspected by Brother Zhao, otherwise it will be risky." ”

Vice President Yang couldn't help but nodded, in the future, this procedure must be implemented, and it will be more troublesome for Zhao Tianming.

Zhao Tianming then made a move that shocked everyone.

I saw him forcibly break off a branch of red coral, and said loudly to everyone present: "As a member of the auction house, I can't tolerate others damaging the reputation of my auction house. Today, even if I destroy this treasure, I have to prove my innocence for the auction house. As we all know, the essence of any item cannot be faked. ”

He handed the broken branch to Mr. Yang: "Mr. Yang, immediately send it to analyze the composition of the substance, and we will prove it to others in the most scientific way." ”

Everyone was dumbfounded, staring at Zhao Tianming with big eyes, they didn't expect Zhao Tianming to use such an extreme method to identify.

Even if you use the so-called most scientific instruments to analyze the composition of matter, you don't need to destroy this treasure, right?

The person who had found fault before also widened his eyes, not understanding this behavior, and his eyes flashed with panic. The previous confidence suddenly made him unsure.
