Chapter 326: Tang Ying's 'Turning the Heart Bottle'
"Are you sure you've completed the appraisal?" Dong Lao looked at Liu Dong and asked again. There was also some doubt in his tone at the moment. Because Liu Dong's time for this appraisal is too short.
"I'm sure!" Liu Dong said again.
"Okay then! Now let's talk about your appraisal results!" Seeing that Liu Dong had made up his mind, Dong Lao nodded.
"The three pieces of porcelain are all fake!" Liu Dong said in a calm tone.
"What? you say it again?" asked the old man Wen who was sitting on the side at this time in a strange tone.
Seeing this, Liu Dong frowned without a trace, "What's the matter? Haven't you heard clearly? I have identified these three pieces of porcelain as fakes!"
"Haha, it's all fake?fake?haha, Liu Dong, Liu Dong, it seems that you are just a façade!" Old Man Wen sneered unscrupulously.
"What's the matter, does Elder Wen have an opinion on the appraisal results below?" Liu Dong said indifferently.
"Yes, the Daoguang blue and white gourd vase next to it and the Kangxi colorful dragon pattern bowl are fakes, but this 'Qing Qianlong enamel color" auspicious and more than "turning the heart bottle" is really not really the Qianlong Imperial Kiln, because this porcelain is provided by me, and it was auctioned from the United States, and after returning to China, I have also found a lot of peers to identify, and everyone thinks that this porcelain is the real Qianlong Imperial Kiln genuine!" said the old man triumphantly.
At the beginning, the reason why he spent nearly 60 million Huaxia coins to buy this porcelain back from a small auction in the United States was because Mr. Dong was nearly ninety years old and was about to retire. Now he is the only one who can inherit the president of the Izumi City Collection Association. and Wu Lao, who is also the vice president.
So. He needed this precious porcelain, which can be called a national treasure, to increase his prestige in the guild and consolidate his position, so that in the future, after Dong Lao left, he would be able to sit on the throne of the president.
Originally, Old Man Wen didn't want to take out this porcelain today, but later Liu Dong's achievements today were too shocking, so that Old Man Wen had the meaning of pressing his edge with this porcelain, so this Qianlong Imperial Kiln was put up by him at this second level.
And this Qianlong Imperial Kiln enamel color 'auspicious more than enough' heart bottle did not live up to his expectations. As soon as it appeared on the stage, it made everyone present fall into shock, because it looked too perfect, so no one was sure that this was the real thing and not a 'fake'!
"Boy, I'll teach you a good one today, there is a saying in our porcelain appraisal industry called 'official kiln ware is as new', so don't look at this turn-a-heart bottle as perfect, but it is indeed the real Qianlong Imperial Kiln! You, it's better to go back to study for two more years before considering joining our collection association!" Old man Wen sneered.
After listening, Liu Dong smiled faintly. "The porcelain appraisal does have the phrase 'official kiln ware is as new', but it does not refer to this piece. It's a fake!"
"Okay, boy! It seems that you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin! Li'er, you take out the appraisal of this porcelain and show it to you!"
When Old Man Wen's words fell, Wen Li, who was standing behind him, hurriedly took out an appraisal book from the Chanel Kun bag hanging on his left arm, and then handed it to Old Man Wen, who unfolded it in front of everyone! I saw that it was indeed full of names, both Chinese and foreign.
Seeing this appraisal report, most of the people nodded in agreement, feeling that this exquisite enamel color heart bottle was indeed the real Qianlong Imperial Kiln.
"How's that? Now you believe it?"
Hearing this, Liu Dong glanced at the appraisal book that Old Man Wen held in his hand, and said in a flat tone: "Appraisers also make mistakes, otherwise Master Sun Yingzhou will not be ridiculed!"
After listening to his words, everyone was stunned, and everyone knew that Master Sun Yingzhou, a porcelain appraisal, especially his proverb of 'everyone says it is wrong, and if the experts say it is wrong, I will have a chance', it is even more well-known.
This is a universal truth in any line. The more top-notch the official kiln, the fewer people are knowledgeable. Therefore, the higher the eyesight, the more lonely people will feel, and the more high-grade people will be ridiculed by laymen. Master Sun Yingzhou, as well as his apprentice, the master porcelain appraiser Geng Baochang, are representatives of this type.
"Your appraisal level can also be compared to Master Sun?" said Old Man Wen angrily.
"My appraisal level naturally can't be compared with Master Sun Yingzhou, but I still have the ability to identify your porcelain as a fake!"
"......Okay, since you said that your enamel color heart vase is a fake, then you can take out the evidence!" Old man Wen looked at Liu Dong with a lunar expression and said coldly.
Seeing his appearance, Liu Dong nodded indifferently.
"Slow down!" Just as Liu Dong was about to step forward, Old Man Wen's eyes rolled twice, but he suddenly stopped him.
"What? Old Man Wen plans to regret it?" Liu Dong said coldly.
"Hehe, regret it, how can I regret this kind of win-winning thing, but before that, I also want to make a bet with you!" The greedy look in Old Man Wen's eyes flashed.
"Bet?" Liu Dong said with a smile, but he didn't expect that he hadn't mentioned it this time, but people would automatically come to the door. At that moment, I couldn't help but secretly say in my heart: "This is really self-inflicted!"
"Okay, how does Old Wen want to gamble?" Liu Dong said with interest.
"It's very simple, if you can't come up with evidence to prove that my enamel color heart bottle is a fake, then you have to hand over the Jun kiln rose red glaze pen wash in your hand to me for free!"
"Okay, what if I can come up with evidence?" asked Liu Dong.
"If you can come up with evidence, then how much money I can buy this enamel color 'auspicious more than enough' heart bottle, I will give you how much money!" said Old Man Wen fiercely.
"Hehe, okay! I agreed to the gamble, but in order to avoid not admitting the account after both sides lose, let's take the things out first!" Liu Dong called Mu Gang over, and then took out the Ruyao rose red glaze pen wash that had been packed from his backpack and put it on the long table in front of him!
Seeing this famous Jun kiln vessel again, Old Man Wen couldn't help but get excited, and the greed in his eyes couldn't be hidden. This is one of the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty, and there is nothing in his collection. Today, if he can win this Jun kiln pen wash, plus the Qianlong Imperial Kiln enamel color 'auspicious more than enough' in his hand to concentrate on the bottle, then he will be able to rely on two pieces of precious porcelain to gain a foothold in the national collection circle. At that time, it will be a significant increase in his reputation.
Thinking of this result, Old Man Wen immediately asked his daughter to sign a check for 68 million Huaxia coins, which was put together with Liu Dong's Jun kiln pen wash. And in order not to make Liu Dong regret it, Old Man Wen immediately asked his daughter to draft a legally binding document and asked Liu Dong to sign his name.
At this time, Old Man Wu shook his head and sighed, and after Qin Lao and Zhang Lao, who were familiar with Liu Dong, glanced at each other, they also shook their heads at each other. In their opinion, Liu Dong was a little impulsive this time.
"Okay! Let's start!" Old Man Wen picked up the Wen Jiàn that he had signed with Liu Dong and looked at it, and said with satisfaction.
Hearing this, Liu Dong smiled faintly, turned his head and said, "Old Wu, can I borrow your magnifying glass?"
As one of the important tools of the appraiser, the magnifying glass occupies a very important position, and a professional special magnifying glass for appraisal can play a double role for the appraiser. And Liu Dong is a little negligent about the magnifying glass because he usually uses his own relics to identify things, and the magnifying glass in Wu Lao's hand is one of the world's three famous brands, the Keer 7329/30 treasure magnifying glass, which can be magnified nearly 15 times, which is really a good thing.
"No problem, here you go!" For Liu Dong to borrow something, Wu Lao was naturally very happy.
After thanking him, Liu Dong walked to the side of the bottle with a magnifying glass, and then turned the bottle to an angle with his hand, Liu Dong took the magnifying glass in his hand and looked at the hollow position of the bottle with a squint angle. After about two or three seconds, Liu Dong raised his head, looked at the shocked old man Wen at the moment and said, "I found the evidence, old man Wen will take a look!"
Hearing this, Old Man Wen put down the legal document he had just signed with Liu Dong in his hand, hurriedly bypassed the long table, walked to Liu Dong's side, and then looked towards the heart bottle under Liu Dong's guidance, but at first glance, Old Man Wen's face turned white, and his eyes were as if he had seen a ghost.
"Impossible, this is impossible? This is not true! Poof!" Old Man Wen couldn't accept what he saw in front of him, and sat down on the ground. And the magnifying glass in his hand was fished back by Liu Dong before it hit the ground.
"Dad!" Wen Li hurriedly ran over and helped him up.
And at this time, everyone in the collection association who was extremely curious about what Old Man Wen saw just now couldn't help but step forward, and the first one to rush up was the closest Wu Lao.
Then according to the direction that Liu Dong and the old man Wen looked, it was easy to see a big simplified character 'Zhu' on the blue and white leaves on the inside of the bottle, of course, under the 15 times magnifying glass, the word 'Zhu' was as big as a thumb, without the assistance of the magnifying glass, if you didn't pay attention to it with the naked eye, you couldn't see this word at all, and this 'Zhu' word was not engraved later, but burned, and it was still a miniature carving.
"Zhu Fang, I didn't expect the famous Zhu Fang to appear again!" After reading it, Dong Lao couldn't help but sigh.
Then everyone also looked at it one by one, and almost everyone sighed at Zhu Fang's almost seamless cost process. At the same time, I blushed a little because of my own eyes.
However, when I thought that all the appraisers who specialized in porcelain present were all blind, the sense of shame in everyone's hearts faded. Indeed, there is a sense that the law does not hold the public accountable. (To be continued......)
