After a long time, when the old man put down the bronze statue and looked at Ye Fan again, his face had already changed to a shocked expression, as Ye Fan said, there was a little residue on the inner wall of the bronze statue, quartz sand, which is one of the characteristics of modern casting. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The amount of residue is so rare that it is almost negligible, and the location is very hidden, if it weren't for Ye Fan's reminder, the old man would not have found it at all.

"This itself is indeed an old object, but it is not very well preserved, resulting in serious damage, so it has been repaired and antique with modern technology, which is enough to be fake. Ye Fan continued.

The old man nodded slightly, and said with appreciation: "Young man, your vision is really good, you can find such a small flaw, it seems that you are an expert." ”

Ye Fan waved his hand, smiled, and said, "Where am I considered an expert, I just talked nonsense." Ye Fan, who used to be engaged in the design and manufacture of artworks, has also been exposed to antique things, because the design inspiration of some artworks comes from antiques, and even the use of some materials is also based on some old antiques.

If it weren't for the perspective eye, Ye Fan could only be regarded as a layman, you know, literary and antiques are some real treasures, with profound cultural connotation and exquisite craftsmanship, and even some boutiques have reached the extreme of human craftsmanship, even if it is modern with advanced science and technology, it is impossible to imitate the same boutique.

In the eyes of the old man, being able to find such a small flaw in such a short period of time, Ye Fan is definitely called an expert, and the reason why Ye Fan does not admit it is completely a manifestation of modesty.

"My brother is humble. The old man nodded appreciatively, in the old man's opinion, a young and promising person like Ye Fan is rare.

"According to the elder brother, if you ask this bronze statue to go back, how much is it appropriate?" the old man asked, showing a look of inquiry.

Ye Fan was a little embarrassed, the feeling of being regarded as a master for the first time, to be honest, he felt a little proud.

"The reason why antiques are called antiques is because of the age, exquisite craftsmanship, and now this bronze statue has been transformed into a complete face, it is no longer an antique, at most it is a good modern handicraft, as for the price? I think, three thousand is more appropriate. ”

When he heard the words three thousand, the peddler was about to cry, this thing could be sold for 100,000, but now it has become 3,000, and this time it is a big loss.

Although most of the antique city is fake, if it is found out that people fool people with fakes, the impact is still very bad.

The peddler said with a sad face: "This little brother has opened his mouth, so it's three thousand yuan." ”

The old man was too lazy to bother with the hawker, and it was more cost-effective to buy a good handicraft for 3,000 yuan, so he paid without hesitation, and carefully put the bronze statue in the wooden box and held it in his arms. When the old man was going to have a good chat with Ye Fan, when he looked up, he found that Ye Fan had already disappeared.

Ye Fan mixed in the crowd and looked around, intending to pick up a leak, but Ye Fan did not rashly use the perspective ability, according to the test in recent days, the perspective ability has a limit, if it is used excessively, it will cause a severe headache and a temporary decrease in vision.

Since discovering this problem, Ye Fan began to plan how to exercise his body, in Ye Fan's opinion, only a strong body can support a strong perspective ability.

Unconsciously, Ye Fan walked to the middle of the antique city, which is mainly engaged in bronzes, and the age of bronzes is generally relatively old, especially before the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the level of bronze craftsmanship is extremely high, and they are only qualified to be used by some princes and nobles, so the price is relatively high.

That is, because the value is relatively high, there are many counterfeit products.

This pedestrian street that is more than 100 meters long, almost all of them are selling bronzes, with a variety of styles, Ye Fan knows that the number of genuine products here is extremely rare, and even if there are any, there are very few, you know, there are many collectors who hang out here every day to pick up leaks, and good things are basically taken away.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in front, and Ye Fan couldn't help but speed up his pace, maybe someone in front had found something good.

In the crowd, a girl in her twenties and a very beautiful appearance was confronting an old man in her forties, and her face was not very good-looking.

Elore stared at the old man in front of her fiercely, and said angrily: "I took a fancy to this thing first, and I have already negotiated the price, but now you want to grab it, don't you think this is a bit excessive?"

Eloel has an extraordinary temperament, sweet appearance, even if they quarrel, the tone is very soft, giving people a feeling of being a lady, Ye Fan couldn't help but look at it a few more times, suddenly, Ye Fan found that the beautiful girl in front of him was a little familiar, and after pondering for a few seconds, he remembered that the two had a relationship before, and Eloel had bought art from Ye Fan's company.

The old man's dress was more casual, carrying a black briefcase, Ye Fan looked a little familiar, so he got closer and found that this person also knew him, this person was the business manager of Huo Zilong's company, Wang Qi.

At that time, when Ye Fan heroically saved the beauty and offended Huo Zilong, this person was also present, so Ye Fan was more impressed.

In the face of Elore's argument, Wang Qi smiled nonchalantly, took a deep puff of cigarette, and snorted coldly: "This brother you haven't paid yet, so it's not yours." Whoever pays the highest price will be whom, no matter what price you offer, I will be ten percent higher than you. ”

"Yes, I didn't pay, but we'll have to be first-come, first-served. Elo said angrily, she knew that the other party was a scoundrel, but now she can't think of any good way, especially Elo, who has just started a business not long ago, and Elo, who is relatively tight on funds, can't compete with the wealthy Wang Qi, you know, Wang Qi's backer is Huo Zilong, a famous gentleman in Ninghai City.

Wang Qi snorted disdainfully, and said with a nonchalant face: "Don't think that my young master has taken a fancy to you, so he dares to scream in front of me, I have taken a fancy to this thing today, and it is mine." After saying that, he spat out a puff of smoke at the peddler, and said in a commanding tone: "Why are you still stunned? Why don't you hurry up and wrap me up." ”

The vendors who often set up stalls here are old rivers and lakes, and they have also heard of Wang Qi, and they know that they can't afford to mess with them, so they hurriedly took out some foam and planned to pack it.

Ye Fan took a closer look, there was a small three-legged cup on the stall, this thing is called Jue, it is a kind of drinking container in ancient times, and it is also a special ritual vessel for sacrifices, this Jue, it looks pretty good, but it is not perfectly preserved, and 90% of the places are covered with thick patina, although Ye Fan has not studied the antiques too deeply, but he can also guess that the price of an imperfect bronze is definitely not high.

But why did Elore and Wang Qi blush over this low-value knight?

Ye Fan turned his head to look at Wang Qi, and then at Elo, and found that the two of them were completely angry, so he was relieved, it turned out that these two people didn't care about the value of this knight, but wanted to fight for breath.

Subsequently, Ye Fan focused on Jue, this time, Ye Fan used the perspective ability, and then Ye Fan saw a shocking scene......

Seeing that the vendor was starting to pack the bronzes, Eloel said anxiously, "Boss, haven't we already agreed in advance? ”

The peddler didn't raise his head and said, "Whoever offers the highest price, I will sell it to whomever it is, isn't it all the way business works?"

"Business is about making money, but it also has to be honest. Elore's tone was tough, but it was full of helplessness.

After listening to Elore's words, although the vendor did not stop packing, the speed had slowed down, and he was waiting for Eloel to offer a higher price.

Wang Qi looked at Elore with provocative eyes, and teased: "The boss has said just now, whoever pays the highest price will be who's own." ”

Elo gritted her silver teeth tightly, looked at Wang Qi coldly, and after pondering for a while, she suddenly said, "I'll give fifteen thousand." ”

This price suddenly caused an uproar, although there are not many experts in the people watching around, but how much is still a little discerning, the cup in front of me covered with heavy patina, even if it is genuine, the price is definitely below 10,000 yuan, not to mention, I don't know if this is the real thing.

Wang Qi was immediately happy, what he fancied was not the value of the cup, a cup covered with patina had already been corroded by the years, and it was not worth much. The reason why he is competing for this Elite Cup is nothing more than to embarrass Elore, and now Eloel has come up with a price far exceeding the value of the Cup, and the purpose has been achieved.

So Wang Qi immediately said: "President Ai is really wealthy, and a shabby jue cup can also cost a high price of 15,000." I don't want this thing, you can keep it for yourself. ”

It was obvious that she was being teased, and Elo's eyes were red, but Wang Qi, who had Huo Zilong as her backer, was rich and wealthy, and it was not something she could provoke, so she could only sulk, paid the money, and took the packaged cup from the vendor.

Ye Fan leaned over and said, "President Ai, there are things that you can't just look at the surface, you need to observe them in depth, such as this cup in your hand that looks very poor." ”

Because of her anger, Elo, who spent a lot of money to buy the cup, was depressed, and suddenly heard this, a bright light flashed in the corner of her eyes, could it be that the cup she bought was actually very valuable? But when Eloel turned around and saw Ye Fan, the faint hope that rose in her heart was instantly shattered.

Elo, who has a good memory, recognized Ye Fan at a glance. A young man who works in design and manufacturing in an art company.

In Elo's opinion, Ye Fan is not only young, but also has not studied antiques, so what he said just now has no reference value at all, and may be used to comfort people.

Eloel reluctantly squeezed out a smile from the connection and said, "Thank you for your comfort. ”

Ye Fan saw that Elo didn't believe in herself, so she said: "If you believe me, please give me the cup in your hand, and if it is damaged, I will compensate you fifteen thousand." After speaking, Ye Fan stretched out his right hand towards Eloel and asked for the cup.

Elore was obviously stunned, she was stunned by Ye Fan's unexpected actions, she couldn't guess what Ye Fan wanted to do at all.

Wang Qi, who was about to leave, stopped, and looked at Ye Fan with some surprise, he remembered that Ye Fan was still lying in the hospital because of his serious injury, why is he still standing in an intact posture here? Could it be that Ye Fan, this kid, deliberately cheated and wanted to blackmail Zhang Dahu and Huo Zilong?
