To be honest, letting Zhuang Rui appreciate the treasure is purely to catch ducks on the shelves, which is a bit difficult for a strong man.

Zhuang Rui and Uncle De have been in contact for a long time, and they know the antique industry, not that they can roll up their arms and go into battle by reading a few more books and knowing some theoretical knowledge, which requires the usual accumulation and a lot of contact with physical objects, but even then, they will often be fooled.

As the saying goes, "gold in troubled times is prosperous antiques", and every time antiques begin to prevail, there are more fakes and fakes.

In modern China, the early years of the Republic of China will be regarded as a prosperous period of antiques, when Sun Dianying, Zhang Zongchang and other warlords successively stole Kangxi, Qianlong and the Empress Dowager Cixi and other people's mausoleum, unearthed a large number of valuable cultural relics, coupled with Pu Yi and others guarded and stolen, from the palace also flowed out of a lot of rare treasures, for a time the folk collection flourished, and even many foreign speculators also came to China to buy cultural relics, and counterfeiting antique was also popular at that time, the famous painter Zhang Daqian is a good at imitating the master of counterfeiting, he imitated Shi Tao's paintings, the real and false are difficult to distinguish, can be described as a must.

In the following ten years, the land of China has been plagued by disasters, war and chaos, although there are still a very small number of people who are concerned about the protection of some precious national treasures, but people will not even be able to eat, who else will take these things as treasures, during this time, a large number of precious cultural relics are lost overseas, which also makes some domestic experts sad in the future.

In the nineties of the last century, the spring breeze of reform and opening up blew all over the land of China, people's living standards are also improving day by day, entertainment and cultural life are gradually enriched, and the antique art fever that has withdrawn from people's eyes for nearly half a century has begun to heat up slowly, and by the end of the century, the number of people who like to collect has risen sharply, and the amount of transactions in domestic auction houses is more than billions a year, not to mention that most of the fine products are sold abroad.

Marx once said: "If there is 10 percent profit, capital is ready to move, if there is 100 percent profit, capital will get carried away, and if there is 300 percent profit, then everything can be done on the gallows." ”

Seeing that the antique industry is so hot, many lawbreakers have also moved their minds, and those tomb robbers who have been silent for more than half a century have also returned to their old business, and there are even some people with unique skills, simply starting to do the old, for a while, all kinds of fakes and antiques have flowed into the market, and the people who do the old and counterfeit are clever, and they can almost be fake.

Mr. Ma Weidu, a well-known folk collector, once said that in the early 80s, in the early 80s, there were sandalwood, huanghuali and other tables, chairs and benches piled up everywhere in the waste furniture stores in the capital, which would be cheap, five yuan a piece, pick and choose at will, and be responsible for delivering them to your door, but in the late 80s and early 90s, the antique market was full of fakes, and Mr. Ma did not pay less tuition, which shows the high level of those counterfeiters.

The reason why Zhuang Rui knows these is because of Yang Wei, Yang's father is an antique lover, so he calls him a hobbyist rather than a collector, because he has collected a lot of things in the past ten years, and he has piled up a room full of money, and millions of dollars have been thrown into it.

But to be honest, Yang's father's professional appreciation level is really not very good, but he also likes to go to the market to pick up leaks, and he has accumulated them back and forth, and the objects he collects are also quite considerable, but later he invited a few experts to his home to identify them, but found that none of the miscellaneous antiques in a room are real.

I don't know if I don't care about this money or have a good mentality, Yang's father didn't give up this hobby, but since then he has rarely appeared in the antique market, and the number of times he has appeared in the auction house has increased significantly, but he is also famous in the Zhonghai antique industry, and some people who feel that the objects in their hands are more level, that is often drilled to the Yang family, and this old man also has some eye-catching anecdotes from time to time.

Often walking by the river, there is no one who does not get his shoes wet, even those who have been in this business for decades often look away, Zhuang Rui naturally does not feel that he read a few books at home a few days ago to appreciate antiques, and he can distinguish the authenticity of the objects stacked on this table, what he relies on in his heart is still these eyes, but now what he has to do is to find an object that the eyes can see through, and then judge whether it is genuine or fake by whether there is aura in it.

Most of the things that Boss Wang and Song Jun took out were bronze or jade, and the aura in Zhuang Rui's eyes had no way to see through, so he turned to the side of the shopkeeper Lu now and looked at it carefully.

There were only three objects placed in front of the shopkeeper Lu, and when he saw Zhuang Rui coming over, the shopkeeper Lu got up and gave up his position to facilitate Zhuang Rui's identification, Xu Wei, who was sitting next to the shopkeeper Lu, also exaggerated the chair under the seat to the side, and looked at Zhuang Rui with a playful face, in his eyes, Zhuang Rui, who was young and inconspicuous, actually dared to offend Miss Qin, and he must take this opportunity to teach this young man how to behave.

Zhuang Rui didn't care about Xu Wei's gaze, his attention was now attracted by the three objects in front of him, Zhuang Rui first picked up a wood carving of a sprinkling Guanyin statue about 20 centimeters high and observed, I couldn't see what kind of wood carving was used, but the shape of this wood carving is very beautiful, Guanyin's face is lifelike, the surface of the wood carving is quiet and quiet, holding it in my hand, I only feel that it is smooth and gratifying, and the paste color is thick, revealing a warm old atmosphere, giving people a sense of vicissitudes.

In the past few days, Zhuang Rui has also read some books on antique appreciation, according to the book introduced, with the carving of this wood carving, pulp, it should be an old object for some years, but compared to his own half-hung appreciation level, Zhuang Rui is still willing to believe his eyes, bowed his head slightly, Zhuang Rui released the aura in his eyes to the wood carving.

"Lean ......".

After retracting the aura, Zhuang Rui couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth in his heart, the aura in his eyes now can only penetrate the wood products at a distance of less than one centimeter, but as long as there is aura in this thing, it can still be absorbed, but after the aura entered, this wood carving did not have the slightest reaction, which made Zhuang Rui, who originally wanted to add some aura, disappointed, although Zhuang Rui was not sure that an object without aura must be fake, but he also chose to believe in the aura in his eyes.

Raising his head, Zhuang Rui looked at the wood carving in his hand and said: "This wood carving Guanyin statue is finely carved, with thick pulp, like an old ......."

"Of course, this Buddha statue must be genuine from carving to pulp, I can see it without holding it in my hand. ”

Before Zhuang Rui's words fell, he was interrupted by Xu Wei next to him, Xu Wei has also been observing this wood carving, and he also believes that this is a genuine product, after hearing Zhuang Rui's words, he couldn't help but ridicule Zhuang Rui for his good luck and picking up a cheap.

Glancing at Xu Wei lightly, Zhuang Rui ignored him and continued: "However, I personally think that this thing was made old later, and to put it bluntly, this object is a fake. ”

As soon as these words came out, except for the shopkeeper Lu, everyone was taken aback, and Xu Wei was even more red, looking at the shopkeeper Lu, hoping that he could refute it.

"Xiaozhuang, there are still two objects there, you can also take a look......."

To everyone's surprise, Shopkeeper Lu didn't say anything, but just asked Zhuang Rui to comment on the remaining two.
