Chapter 645: Meteorite (Two Chapters in One)

Speaking of which, Xie Mingxu, like many people, is a little superstitious about high technology, but the antique industry is different, not that the results of high technology are wrong, but that the counterfeiters are too smart and have come up with a lot of ways to make the current high technology get the results they want. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

And Xie Mingxu has already suffered too many such losses, just Meng Zitao has heard of several pieces, but he still hasn't eaten a trench to grow a wisdom, and he actually brought the palm-eye master introduced by a friend over, who knows if it is greasy inside, especially when Xie Mingxu finally bought a fake.

After getting the painting, Xie Mingxu invited his friends to appreciate it, and the result was a slap in the face. Because he spent almost all his working capital to buy this fake, he had to dispose of the assets in his name.

When Meng Zitao learned that this was the case, he was very speechless.

On the day of Meng Zitao's resignation, when he helped Xie Mingxu identify the pair of Kangxi imitation chicken bowl cups, Xie Mingxu swore that he would not blindly buy antiques in the future, but it was only a year, and he ended up with this fate, and he really didn't know what to say.

However, Meng Zitao and Xie Mingxu have an ordinary relationship, and it has nothing to do with him that the other party has ended up in this fate, but his father's friend, Kang Yan, who took more care of him at the beginning, couldn't help but care, so he asked Lao Song about Kang Yan's recent situation.

Lao Song said on the phone: "Mr. Kang has been unlucky recently. ”

"What's wrong?" Meng Zitao hurriedly asked.

"You also know that Mr. Kang mentioned it a few times before, if it weren't for Mr. Xie's relationship, he would have left a long time ago, so this time the company was sold by Mr. Xie, and he also proposed to resign, but because Mr. Xie's friend took over for a while, Mr. Kang was also ready to leave in a month. It's been almost a month, but I didn't expect that the day before yesterday he had a car accident because of a business trip......"

When Meng Zitao heard this, he hurriedly asked, "Ah, are the others okay, is there any danger to their lives?"

Lao Song said: "He is also lucky, when he drove across the bridge, he was hit by a big truck under the bridge, and there happened to be a big boat passing below, and the car fell into the boat, but fortunately the big truck did not fall, otherwise the boat would have sunk." Mr. Kang was rescued, and there was nothing wrong with him, but his right hand was broken, and he needed to rest for at least two months. ”

Meng Zitao said: "That's okay, as long as people don't have anything, it's not a big problem." ”

Lao Song smiled: "Yes, he can be regarded as a great fortune......

Meng Zitao asked Kang Yan about the hospital where he is living now, thinking that he would visit him after he went back, after all, Kang Yan took care of himself so much in the company, so he should go there because of reason.

After chatting casually, Meng Zitao hung up the phone, and then called Shu Ze again and asked him where he was now, but he didn't answer after a few rings, probably because there was something, or the environment was noisy and he didn't hear it, so he walked in the direction he came from just now.

I didn't pay attention just now, but when I turned around, Meng Zitao found that there was a small stall next to him, and there was nothing else on it except some black or yellow-brown stones of various sizes and a piece of cardboard with words written on it, and the cardboard paper read, "All kinds of meteorites are sold."

To put it simply, when a "stone" floating in space in a state of rotation or a state of rest passes near the earth, it is attracted by the earth's gravitational attraction, pulls into the earth, passes through the atmosphere, and rubs against the air at high speed to cause spontaneous combustion, that is to say, its surface is basically in a state of "melting"!

Speaking of meteorites, there are really not many people collecting in China now, first of all, if a thing wants to be valued by everyone, there must be a hot spot, and meteorites have obviously not reached this level.

Secondly, meteorites are relatively rare for ordinary people, after all, meteorites that can eventually fall to the ground and can be found by ordinary people are relatively rare, coupled with the depth of science, for decades, the number of meteorite collectors and enthusiasts around the world has hovered around 100.

It was not until the Russian meteorite incident in 2013 that the international meteorite collecting boom heated up strongly, and the originally niche meteorite collection was instantly sublimated to a high-end luxury coveted by collectors around the world.

Of course, it is only 09 years, and the meteorite collection is still a big unpopularity, but it is also changing, because Meng Zitao heard that the domestic meteorite organization successfully held an exchange activity, saying that he wanted to promote the collection and exchange of meteorites.

But today is still the first year after all, and basically it will not have much effect, and the pedestrians who pass by all around, except for some curious people who stop to look at the so-called meteorites on the stalls, everyone else is basically just casually looking at them and losing interest, you can see it.

After Meng Zitao looked at the so-called meteorites on the stall, he felt that it was normal for everyone not to be interested, because one of the meteorites was actually two football sizes, and this meteorite was not big, but if it was indeed a meteorite, even if Meng Zitao didn't know much about the meteorite market, he knew that this thing was worth at least tens of thousands, and it was in US dollars.

Can the stall owner get such a valuable thing to sell here?

Moreover, the meteorite also looks unusually clean, which is obviously impossible if it were a real meteorite.

Because the meteorite will directly hit the soil when it falls to the earth, it will cool down quickly at high temperatures, and it will bond with the surrounding soil and impurities, and such things are very difficult to clean, so under normal circumstances, meteorites will not be very "clean"!

In addition, to identify whether a stone is a meteorite, first use the naked eye to judge whether there is a molten shell, gas mark, melt flow line on the outside, whether there are chondrites, metal flash points, etc. at the damaged part, and whether there are chondrites, metal flash points, Vickers and so on the cut surface.

For example, real meteorites have been rounded out of the edges and corners due to the particularly high temperature when they pass through the atmosphere, and although the shape is irregular, they are all rounded. Moreover, the surface of the meteorite has a black molten shell.

From these aspects, Meng Zitao can be sure that most of the meteorites on this stall are not meteorites at all, and it is likely that they are just some iron ore. As for whether the rest will be meteorites, Meng Zitao feels that the possibility is very small.

At this time, a young man, probably out of curiosity about meteorites, squatted down to look at the "stones" on the stall, and asked: "Boss, you are really a meteorite, why don't you look like it?"

The stall owner looked displeased and said, "How can this not be a meteorite? They have been treasured by me for many years, and if it weren't for the urgent need for money, I would not be willing to sell them." ”

The young man pouted: "This, the boss didn't say you, can't it be proved that it is a meteorite because of your words and no other evidence, right?"

The stall owner swore by the owner: "How come there is no evidence, my meteorite can be taken and cut, basically every piece has a Vistedon structure." ”

"What construction?" the young man was confused.

The stall owner shook his head slightly, as if lamenting that the young man was uneducated, but he patiently explained: "To put it simply, the 'Vistaiden Structure' is an image composed of iron and nickel flakes. According to statistics, more than 80% of iron meteorites have this kind of image, such as iron meteorites with octahedral arrangement of iron and nickel stone flakes, named octahedral iron meteorites. Little brother, you see my meteorite has been cut......"

As he spoke, the stall owner took out a "meteorite" and a magnifying glass for the young man to observe.

Seeing this scene, Meng Zitao felt that he wanted to laugh, what the stall owner said was right, but just like a rooster is a chicken, but a chicken is not necessarily a rooster, it is not necessarily a real meteorite that has this phenomenon.

Just a few days ago, Meng Zitao had just communicated with a friend in the antique forum he often attended, and at that time, this friend lamented the gap between him and his former classmates, including one of his classmates in a scientific research institution.

When the classmate was showing off his work, he gave an example, saying that nickel and iron powder were well matched and melted together. While cooling down slowly, set the ambient magnetic field in 4-6 directions with an electromagnetic device. Toggle with each other. Mold-proof geomagnetic deflection.

Magnetism can stretch iron filings into filaments, causing the ferronickel atoms to form a directional alignment. The magnetic permeability of nickel and iron is slightly different and the melting point is slightly different. Slow and cold drawing of the magnetic field can produce a slow drawing pattern. This creates the "Vestedin Structure".

Moreover, this experiment was not specifically for the creation of the "Vistedon structure", but only for the accidental discovery of electrolytic pig manure.

As soon as Meng Zitao thought about this, he wanted to laugh inexplicably, so he didn't care about the things in the stall even more. He wasn't going to delay here, but because of habit, he used his ability at the stall before turning to leave, only to make his steps stop.

What Meng Zitao didn't expect was that there were really meteorites on this stall, and there were as many as four of them. However, three of them were only the size of a thumb or a little larger, and they were all placed in a small glass box in front of the stall owner, and the remaining one, the size of a fist, which looked inconspicuous, was placed on the right hand side of Mencius, and was worth a sky-high price compared to the other three.

Speaking of which, Meng Zitao really didn't have much research on meteorites, and he didn't even know the market price of meteorites, and the identification of meteorites was just on paper, but fortunately, he had an ability, so he didn't have to worry about the authenticity, but because the meteorite was naturally formed, there was no artificial intervention, and after using the ability just now, it made his head hurt a little.

Meng Zitao rubbed his eyebrows, and after feeling a little comfortable, he squatted down in front of the stall and muttered, "These are really meteorites?"

After the young man was fooled by the stall owner for a while, he spent 2,000 yuan to buy the meteorite that the stall owner had just taken out, and when he heard Meng Zitao's words, his face was a little unpleasant, and he said angrily: "Do you think I look like a fool?"

After saying that, he snorted coldly and got up to leave.

Meng Zitao was a little speechless, he said that casually, and it was not aimed at you, he actually started a temper, and his temper was really big enough.

The stall owner said with a smile: "Young people are more angry, don't care." ”

Meng Zitao said angrily: "Boss, I don't like to listen to what you say, am I not a young man?"

The stall owner was also a little embarrassed: "I said something wrong, brother, don't care." ”

Meng Zitao said lightly: "I care very much, boss, can you come practically?"

The stall owner smiled and said, "Okay, I'll give you a discount in a while." ”

"I didn't say I wanted to buy it, what are you excited about. Meng Zitao was a little moody.

"Why are you making fun of me?"

The stall owner was a little annoyed in his heart, and there was a smile on his face: "Then you can take a look first." ”

Meng Zitao glanced at the things on the stall expressionlessly, then raised his head and asked, "Boss, do you say that meteorites are considered stars?"

"Uh, how did you remember to ask this. ”

"Hey, isn't this my girlfriend, tell me, if she wants stars, can I also help her buy them, I didn't think much about it at the time and said that I would definitely be able to buy it, and after thinking about it, I have a better face, and if I can't buy it when I look back, it will be a shame. ”

The stall owner showed a look of surprise on his face and said with a smile: "Actually, that's all it takes for women, just go back and coax it." Of course, if you can accomplish such a difficult task, she will definitely be impressed. Let's get down to business, if you want to ask if this meteorite is a star, it is definitely not counted by scientific definition, but in the eyes of ordinary people, it is also a star. ”

"How?"

"Shooting stars are also stars. ”

The stall owner laughed, pointed to a two-fist-sized "meteorite" on the stall and said, "This meteorite looks more like a rabbit, you will definitely like it if you buy it back for your girlfriend." ”

"It's too big to hold. ”

Meng Zitao shook his head, hesitated and finally chose the target, and said, "That's it, how much is it?"

Seeing that Meng Zitao chose a small piece, the stall owner was a little disappointed, but for him it was a piece that could be sold for a piece, so he said, "Even if you are one thousand and five." ”

"It's too expensive, the man bought it just now for only two thousand, and you just said that you want to give me a discount. ”

"And how much do you want?"

"Up to 500 for you. ”

"Young man, you are too ruthless at this price, you can't let me sell it to you at a loss, you sincerely want it, give 1300." ”

“600。 ”

“1200……”

"I'll give you a maximum of 800 yuan, if it doesn't work, forget it. ”

The stall owner pretended to hesitate for a moment, and finally agreed with a wry smile, in fact, his heart was already happy.

Meng Zitao was also happy in his heart, and continued to find Shu Ze with his things.

was about to walk to the place where he was separated from Shu Ze just now, and Meng Zitao suddenly found that the water not far ahead was impassable, and it looked as if something had happened.

Fortunately, various plans have been formulated on the market side, and market managers will immediately come to evacuate and guide the flow of customers, and bring the victim to the office to solve the problem.

Meng Zitao suddenly saw Shu Ze's figure in it, and hurriedly chased after him: "Aze, what's the matter?"

Shu Ze saw Meng Zitao coming over and said, "Don't mention it, you have encountered an unwarranted disaster." Your jade tooth has been broken. ”

As he spoke, he opened a small box, only to see that there was a jade object that had been broken into three pieces.

The jade teeth resemble the incisors of carnivores, and resemble the teeth of wild boars. In archaeological discoveries of the Upper Paleolithic period, animal teeth have appeared as ornaments on the heads and necks of ancient people, and are generally worn on the neck. African and American Indians often wear it on their necks, waists, hands and feet, not only to symbolize strength and beauty, but also to be a sign of strength and conqueror.

Wild boar teeth were also often used by the ancients to drill holes and untie knots, and were an indispensable tool in the daily life of the ancients. It is inferred that the jade tooth should be modeled after the teeth of animals. In the beginning, it may have been used as a tool, and later it was used as an ornament, and it was also called 玉觿 (xī).

The jade chong tooth that Meng Zitao bought just now is made of yellow-green jade, which is translucent, and the whole device is an arc of angular shape, one end is a tiger head, and one end is made into a pointed shape, and the tiger head is a long pointed ear, open mouth, and there are vortex patterns on the top. The whole vessel is engraved with yin lines and yang patterns, and the cloud pattern is combined, and the gaps are filled with oblique lines. There is a circular tie hole in the mouth.

After his identification, it should be the style of the Warring States Period, the ornamentation is extremely exquisite, and the craftsmanship is exquisite, but because of some problems with preservation, the edge parts are slightly bumped, considering that this is a utensil handed down from the Warring States Period to the present, it is not easy to have such a performance.

Meng Zitao originally planned to deal with it with his own craftsmanship after he went back, and his appearance would definitely change, but he didn't expect that the originally complete jade was broken into three sections, which made him feel distressed and couldn't help but be a little annoyed.

"Aze, what the hell is going on?"

"Blame me for this......"

Speaking of which, the reason for this incident is quite simple, the perpetrators are the old and the young who are walking in front. One of them, an elderly man in his fifties, was a stall owner, and another young man in his twenties was a buyer.

The young man had just bought a piece of jade from the old man, which was nothing, but the old man was too full of words, and he told the young man that he would pay three for one fake, and the young man readily agreed to buy it.

The young man was very happy to buy a favorite thing at a cheap price, but he felt that he had missed it, and on the way back, he met an elder and gave him an appreciation, but he didn't expect the elder to see the problem at a glance.

The young man felt that he had lost face in front of his elders, and thought of the assurances of the stall owner just now, so he ran back to settle the account with great vigour.

The young man had a strong temper, and without saying a few words, he scolded the stall owner, and the scolding was quite ugly. The old man was the opponent of the young man, and he was pushed by the young man, and he bumped into Shu Ze not far away.

To say, Shu Ze was not interested in this kind of liveliness, he also wanted to leave, but the crowd around him saw that there was excitement to see, and they surrounded him one after another, and in the blink of an eye, he couldn't leave if he wanted to, and finally suffered.

Shu Ze said with some shame: "Speaking of which, if I had reacted quickly, this kind of thing would not have happened." ”

Meng Zitao waved his hand: "It's just an accident, what does it have to do with you, if I really want to say it, I am also responsible, and I shouldn't put things here with you." So, let's not worry about this matter, anyway, they must have to pay for it. ”

Shu Ze said to the stall owners and young people who walked in front: "Look at their appearance, can they afford to pay for it?"

"Hey, if you can't afford to pay, you can pay slowly, and until the compensation is finished, you can't let the victim be unlucky. Meng Zitao sneered.

The old and the young are all adults, so don't they know that the dispute just now will cause an accident? Especially on an occasion like the antique market, what if one accidentally steps on the goods on the stall?

Meng Zitao believed that they should have counted, but he was overwhelmed by anger, and if they had been able to restrain themselves, this would not have happened.

The group came to the market office, and the young and the old quarreled again.

"Why are you like this, where did you live at a lot of age? I bought things from you, and I also said that I would pay three for one fake at the beginning, I think you made such a promise when you were old, so I believed you, but I didn't expect it to be like the sentence said on the Internet, it's not that the old man has become bad, but the bad person has become old. ”

"Young man, don't be a fool, I did tell you that one fake thing pays three, but is my thing fake?"

"Why is it not fake, I bought the jade ornaments of Shang Zhou, not last week!"

"Hey, I'm wondering, when did I tell you that this jade is from Shang Zhou?

The young man's eyes rolled: "You obviously said it!"

The stall owner sneered: "Then what do you say I said? Shang Zhou's jade, do I dare to buy and sell it in the open, it's really a joke!"

"I remember it very well, you just said that. ”

"Evidence, you said I said, you have to show the evidence. ”

"You're a strong man at all, is it possible that you have to go here to buy things and have to record the whole time?"

"Look at it, it's strong again......"

The two of them fought for a long time, and they were all arguing about whether there was evidence or not, and if they continued like this, they couldn't get a result even at night.

Of course, for others, they can be sure that the young man must have lied, because it is very simple, this stall owner is not a rookie, and it is impossible to commit something that is tongue-in-cheek, otherwise he is not stupid, how can he guarantee that one fake pays three.

Seeing that the two of them were arguing endlessly, Meng Zitao and Shu Ze couldn't wait.

"Hey, I said can you settle the matter on our side first?" Shu Ze said impatiently.

The market management side spoke: "Yes, you should compensate this gentleman first." ”

The stall owner refused: "It was he who pushed me, and I bumped into this gentleman, why should I lose money, I don't carry this pot." ”

"That's still what you provoked, don't you have a little responsibility?"

"You say I'm causing trouble? Then I'm going to ask, who scolded me first just now, and scolded me so badly?"

"If you don't sell me fakes and make me lose face in front of my elders, will I scold you?"

"I ......"

Seeing that the two were arguing again, the market management hurriedly persuaded the two of them to leave: "Okay, how long do you have to quarrel like this? Do you want everyone to accompany you? Let me tell you, if this is the case again, then you will go to the police station to solve the problem." ”
