Chapter 111: Coincidence?
During the break after dinner, Meng Zitao took out the morning's harvest one by one, and then commented and explained, in addition to Ling Guan, there are real and false things in the rest, but of course Meng Zitao can't be eye-catching, he just spent dozens of dollars on fakes, mainly for everyone to do a comparative explanation.
Qian Siling is very satisfied with the shooting in the morning, there are gimmicks and gains, not counting the feathers, the things that are not bought for 800 are already worth more than 5,000, and the harvest is broken, coupled with the treasure appreciation knowledge explained by Meng Zitao, she believes that when the program is broadcast, the ratings will rise, but she doesn't know how much it can rise, and she is very much looking forward to it.
…………
In the blink of an eye, it was noon the next day, and the shooting yesterday afternoon and this morning ended smoothly.
Meng Zitao picked up another leak today, of course, it was just a small leak, and he spent 300 yuan to buy a jade plate worth about 20,000 yuan. As for the big leak, he didn't dare to pick it up, otherwise when the show was released, he was really worried that some good gamblers would feel that the market was full of treasures.
At noon, Qian Siling originally wanted to have a treat, but because of temporary affairs, she couldn't come for a while, so she asked the assistant to invite Meng Zitao to a famous local restaurant instead of her.
Originally, Meng Zitao was ready to refuse, but Qian Siling said that she would come over later, and she still wanted to ask him for help, so Meng Zitao had to agree.
Following the waiter to a private room, everyone had just sat down, and one of the camera brothers said to Meng Zitao: "Teacher Meng, I just saw the liar yesterday morning." ”
"Which liar?" Meng Zitao was a little surprised.
"It's the old man you reprimanded. The cameraman replied.
Meng Zitao was quite surprised, because this restaurant is relatively high-end, and the consumption level is also high, according to the old man's dress, it is obviously unlikely to come here to consume, of course, he doesn't know this old liar, and he doesn't know what the situation is, and there are too many reasons to come here to eat.
"Teacher Meng, why don't I find someone to ask?" asked the camera brother with a smile.
Meng Zitao asked, "Do you have a way?"
The cameraman said: "I know the waiter here, maybe I can get some news." ”
Meng Zitao was somewhat curious about the purpose of the old man's coming here, so he smiled and said, "I'm sorry Brother Zhang." ”
The cameraman smiled and said it didn't matter, and then went out to inquire about the situation.
As soon as everyone finished ordering, the camera brother came back and said, "That old man seems to be waiting for someone, and now he is the only one here." ”
"In that case, then leave him alone, you can order food. Meng Zitao said with a smile.
After ordering, everyone chatted for a while, and the waiter began to serve the food.
When the dishes were almost served, Meng Zitao took the wine, got up and said to everyone: "I have worked hard for everyone in the past few days, I will give you a glass." ”
"Teacher Meng, you're polite, this is what we should have done......"
Everyone laughed and clinked glasses, and then began to feast.
Halfway through the meal, Qian Siling arrived, she was more able to enliven the atmosphere, so it was lively again.
After a hearty and lively lunch, Qian Siling invited Meng Zitao to the side, took out a few photos and handed them to him.
"Brother-in-law, you can help see what this thing is, whether it is an old object. ”
Meng Zitao took the photo and looked at it, and said, "This is Guibi." ”
"The combination of Yugui and Yubi?" Qian Siling also made up some knowledge because of her work, and she reacted immediately.
Meng Zitao nodded: "Yes, the "Examination of the Gongji" records that there are many forms of the main but there are few archaeological discoveries, and the Guibi recorded by it is even more rare to find, and now some collectors collect the Guibi shape for a large Gui in the middle of a small wall, the upper part of the relief nebula pattern. And on the obverse or reverse side there are four or seven words of poetry. ”
Some scholars believe that there are no seven-word poems in the Han Dynasty, so they believe that this kind of Guibi is a forgery, in fact, there are seven-word poems in the Western Han Dynasty, and you will find the seven-word poem inscriptions that prevailed in the Han Dynasty if you flip through a bronze mirror catalogue. ”
"Zhou Li, Examination of Work" contains five inches of Guibi to worship the sun, moon and stars. The content carved on the main wall that has been found is in harmony with the sacrifice, and there are imitations in the Guibi in later generations, but the quality is not high, especially the imitations of the Qing Dynasty and the contemporary era because there is no physical reference, they are made for the sake of Wangwen, which is nondescript and far from the real thing. However, the one in these photos of yours is not simple. ”
The photos brought by Qian Siling are very clear, with a white jade texture, and some parts are black with red skin. The vessel is a combination of Guibi, the surface of the bi is carved with the technique of high relief dragon pattern and green dragon, white tiger, vermilion bird, Xuanwu four spirit ornamentation, the ornamentation is exquisite, the left and right sides below the device are a dancer and a dragon head, the theme is novel.
The bas-relief feather man flying beast face pattern, dragon and phoenix pattern and other ornaments on the back of the vessel, very exquisite, as a whole should be the work of the Han Dynasty, the whole fully demonstrates the superb skills and superb imagination of the jade craftsmen of the Han Dynasty, it is a rare white jade masterpiece of the Han Dynasty, which is worth cherishing.
After Meng Zitao made some explanations, he said: "Of course, there are a lot of ancient imitation jade now, so before I see the real thing, I can't be 100% sure that it must be a genuine product." ”
Qian Siling nodded in understanding: "If the real thing can't be found, can these photos be used as evidence of authenticity?"
"This is definitely not good, how can there be photos to determine the authenticity of antiques. Meng Zitao continued: "Of course, the key to making a specific judgment on a specific problem depends on what has happened. ”
"A nuisance. Qian Siling said: "The matter is related to a cousin of mine, a while ago, a friend of his brought these photos to him, and asked him if he was interested in the things in the photos, he saw that it was the Han Dynasty Guibi, and from the photos, it should be a genuine product, and the price is appropriate, of course he agreed." ”
Last night, Qian Siling's cousin met with that friend, and the other party brought two people over, saying that they were the owners. Because it was dinner time, everyone chatted while eating, and when they had their heart's content, Qian Siling's cousin took the initiative to take Guibi out to have a look, and the other party agreed.
After Qian Siling's cousin saw it, he made a decision and was willing to buy it, and when he finished eating, he wrote a check.
Unexpectedly, while drinking, the people at the table fell asleep in a daze, and when they woke up, they found that Guibi was gone.
Everyone panicked, rummaged everywhere and couldn't find it, asked the waiter, and no one else came in. In the end, you can only call the police.
Qian Siling said: "Now the police are investigating, but apart from the discovery that they have been drugged, there are no useful clues at all. ”
"The suspicion of the hotel staff is not small. Meng Zitao said.
Qian Siling said: "But the staff have already investigated and found no problems, and the boss also confirmed that during the period when they were unconscious, the employees did not behave abnormally." ”
Hearing this, Meng Zitao interrupted her: "Isn't there any surveillance in the hotel?"
"The hotel is relatively small, only a monitor has been installed at the door, and it has been broken for a few days. ”
Qian Siling said: "Now the police can't find clues, and they don't know when they will be recovered, so the owner said that this matter has something to do with my cousin more or less, and my cousin must be responsible." If as long as my cousin compensates 10,000 yuan, he will not be unhappy, but the other party said that he will bear at least half of it, how can my cousin be happy?"
Meng Zitao's estimate of this piece is about 1.5 million, even if one-third is 500,000, it is normal for Qian Siling's cousin to be unhappy, besides, this matter also reveals a trace of weirdness, maybe it is the so-called owner's bureau It is also possible.
Meng Zitao said: "This matter can only be investigated by the police first, and the problem of finding the lost property will be solved." If you think it's the other party's game, then spend more energy on the owner and your cousin's friends, as long as they do it, there will always be clues. ”
Qian Siling nodded and said, "It seems that this is the only way, brother-in-law, you have a lot of energy in this area, can you help me find it?"
"Absolutely. Meng Zitao agreed, and then took a photo with his mobile phone.
"Thank you!"
"What's so polite about that. Meng Zitao waved his hand.
Qian Siling smiled and said, "Oh, by the way, this is your announcement fee, which is the highest standard I can decide, as long as the ratings come up, it can be increased several times." ”
As she spoke, she took out a red envelope from her bag and handed it to Meng Zitaodao.
Meng Zitao touched the kindness of the red envelope, and felt okay, if it was before he made a fortune, the money would make him happy for several days.
"I'm sorry, I don't have that much time to shoot, and if nothing else, this should be the last time. ”
Qian Siling hurriedly said: "Brother-in-law, don't say it so much, if you want to help the rivers and lakes at that time, you have to promise me, otherwise I will go to Wanyi to sue." ”
Meng Zitao smiled and said in his heart, if you go to sue, I don't believe it, Wanyi will force me to go.
The matter of the trip to Shudu was basically settled, Meng Zitao was ready to go home, and after a few gossips with Qian Siling, he was ready to return to the hotel to pack his luggage.
As soon as the group walked to the door of the hotel, a waiter walked over quickly and said to the camera brother: "Brother Zhang, that old man has been waiting for someone just now, but he didn't wait, and he left without eating." ”
Meng Zitao asked, "When did you leave?"
"Just a moment. ”
As soon as the waiter's words fell, he heard a loud noise from outside, and someone screamed.
"It looks like there's been a car accident. ”
Everyone is a spirit, out of professional habits, Qian Siling and the camera and others rushed out, Meng Zitao saw the scene of the incident earlier than them, and saw an old man lying in a pool of blood.
The moment Meng Zitao saw the old man, he was surprised, was it so coincidental that it was none other than the old liar who had the car accident, and the car that hit him had already run away.
