"There must be evidence, but I'm afraid that the big shopkeeper won't believe it, and I'm not willing to give it up."

At this time, Wang Guan shrugged his shoulders and said: "When the Guanyin statue was made in ancient times, it was made with mold clamping, and the connection of the mold must have left traces of extrusion porcelain clay adjustment. However, this one is spliced together with old tire fragments, so there must be traces of grinding in the place where the internal connection is made. ”

"You mean let me break things and look at them?" At the same time, the big shopkeeper's face was red, and he didn't know whether he was in a hurry or angry, anyway, his expression slowly became gloomy, and he sneered: "Just for your unreasonable deduction, let me drop something worth millions." If you do, are you stupid, or am I stupid?

"Who's to say it's an unreasonable inference."

Wang Guan shook his head lightly, sighed slightly, and said, "Do you know why Zhang Lao and the others also think that things are wrong?" It's not that I'm swayed by preconceived ideas, but because of years of experience, I vaguely notice the flaws in the Guanyin statue. ”

"What's the flaw?"

Seeing Wang Guan so confident, the big shopkeeper's heart sank, and his face was uncertain.

"First of all, I want to say that this porcelain must be the remnant porcelain of the Ming Dynasty, and this glaze is also a waste glaze extracted from Dehua white porcelain in the Ming Dynasty, and then carefully spliced and re-fired by the masters, which can be called seamless, even if it is detected with professional instruments. After all, the most that can be detected by instrumental testing is the composition of porcelain, but the specific age cannot be determined. ”

Wang Guan talked eloquently, and most of the people present were experts, and they knew that he was right.

Because now the identification of the age of ancient porcelain is mainly the use of thermoluminescence dating method, but the most accurate data detected by this method also has a positive or negative fifty years (one hundred years) error, which must have a certain reference role for ancient porcelain, but there is no practical significance for the identification of Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasty porcelain.

After all, in the past hundred years, the development of porcelain in the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties has changed greatly. The instrument simply does not detect it.

That's why many collectors prefer to trust the appraisal of an experienced master appraiser. The reason why I don't want to spend money on instrument testing. They feel that the machine is manipulated by people, so it is better to just find the palm of the hand.

Of course. The safest way is to find a master to identify and do professional instrument testing. However, it doesn't mean that both methods are reliable. It is important to know that there is a question of chance during the period. The most troublesome thing is that one is detected as a fake, and the other is identified as genuine, who should you believe?

After all, not everyone has the same abilities as Wang Guan, so he is very confident in speaking.

"It's a pity that this thing is just seamless on the surface, but it ignores the difference in the weight of the Guanyin statue due to the difference in the splicing fragments." Wang Guan smiled confidently: "Everyone knows. This is a Guanyin ornament, so its center of gravity must be at the bottom. ”

Everyone nodded in agreement, and there was no doubt about it. But every thing that stands up. The center of gravity must be facing downward, otherwise it will be difficult to stand firm.

"But. When I looked at the statue just now, I found a detail. ”

Wang Guan smiled lightly: "I found that although the bottom of this Guanyin statue is a little heavy, the head is also quite weighty. So even though the statue looks like it's stable, it actually falls down if the table shakes slightly. It is clearly a typical top-heavy, which does not meet the maximum technological characteristics of the ornament. ”

"Smack!"

Suddenly, Zhang Lao patted his thigh and nodded: "That's right, that's what's wrong." ”

"If this Guanyin is like an ordinary Dehua white porcelain, then it is nothing. But the master's work shouldn't make such a low-level mistake, right? At the same time, Wang Guan continued to smile and said: "Everyone knows that Master He Chaozong's works are improving, even if it is a momentary mistake to pinch the statue of Guanyin top-heavy, but afterwards it is found that it will definitely be smashed and redone, and it is absolutely impossible to engrave his name on the back of the statue of Guanyin." ”

"Makes sense......"

Everyone nodded one after another, believing that He Chaozong would definitely not smash his signboard.

"It can't be, something can't be a fake."

At this time, the big shopkeeper's face changed impermanently, and of course he didn't believe it in his heart, or he didn't want to believe it.

"It's not a fake, it's just that someone cleverly used several fragments of Guanyin statues in the Ming Dynasty and reassembled them into a complete ornament." Wang Guan said with a smile: "Strictly speaking, every fragment is correct, but it is not a genuine product in the real sense. That's why I said, this thing has a demonic spirit. ”

"The mouth is on you, you can say whatever you want." The big shopkeeper retorted: "You see that this Guanyin statue is integrated as a whole, the lines are very smooth, where is there any trace of splicing?" ”

"Shopkeeper Li, won't you give it a try?"

Just then, a playful voice came in from outside the door.

"Who is it?"

Everyone was stunned, looked back, and saw seven or eight people standing, but the one who spoke was a middle-aged man in his forties and a little fat.

"Yue Bu...... Shopkeeper Yue, what are you doing here? ”

In an instant, the shopkeeper Li shouted, a little bit of gnashing of teeth.

"Hehe, shopkeeper Li, this is your mistake, the person who came is a guest, do you still plan to drive the guest away? Besides, I'm not here to see you. While speaking, the middle-aged man walked in and said with a smile: "I heard that many old-timers are coming, so we naturally want to come over to say hello." ”

"Qin Lao, Bai Lao, Zhang Lao, Tian Lao......"

When the shopkeeper greeted Yue Da, other people outside the door also rushed in one after another, respectfully asking the nine old men.

Needless to say, these people are the bosses and shopkeepers in the antique city, Zhang Lao and they entered Fengbao Hall in a mighty way, someone must have seen it, and after a little mention, the news naturally spread.

Now that you know the news, of course you have to come and pay a visit. However, not everyone is qualified to come and visit. At least among the elders, there must be someone who knows you and can call you by name.

Otherwise, how embarrassing it would be if you know people and people don't know you.

Of course, there is another saying that things gather by like, and people are grouped. So the people who come to visit now are either powerful shop owners or well-connected shopkeepers. To put it bluntly, it is a competitor of Fengbaotang.

The shopkeeper Li was already very depressed, but now when he sees these competitors appearing, especially when he sees the smiling sword Yue Buqun...... Well, it's Yue Da's shopkeeper, and his mood is naturally even more unhappy.

After a few minutes of greetings and politeness, it was time to say hello. The main thing is that there are many people, and the seniority of the old people is extremely high, so you can't ignore any of them.

However, the VIP room was already crowded enough for twelve or thirteen people, but now seven or eight more poured in, let alone sitting, even when standing up, it looked a little crowded.

Seeing this situation, the shopkeeper Yue took the opportunity to say: "Seniors, this place is a little small and can't accommodate everyone, why don't you sit on our Baoshan Pavilion?" ”

"Shopkeeper Yue, what nonsense are you talking about." When the shopkeeper Li heard this, he was very dissatisfied and said: "Saying that our Fengbao Hall is small, your Baoshan Pavilion is not big." ”

"No matter how small Baoshan Pavilion is, it won't be a problem to accommodate one hundred and eighty people, can you do it here?" The shopkeeper Yue sneered.

"I'm talking about the reception room, not the storefront." Shopkeeper Li snorted, he was finally not dizzy, and he didn't get into the sleeve of the shopkeeper Yue.

At the same time, seeing the two arguing like rivals, some people next to them didn't move, obviously they were used to it, and it was not strange to see it. Moreover, everyone can also see that the quarrel between the two is more of a superficial battle of will, not the kind of old rivals who never get along.

What's more, in front of so many old-timers, they didn't need to be persuaded by others, and the two also paid attention to proportion, just said two sentences to each other and then died down.

However, the problem of large numbers and small places still needs to be solved. Fortunately, the doors of several VIP rooms in Fengbaotang are connected, and the door of the VIP room next to Li Da's shopkeeper is open, and several rooms are connected, which makes it seem much more spacious.

However, after everyone dispersed and sat down, the shopkeeper Yue smiled slyly: "Brother Li, the statue of Guanyin on the table seems to be good, is there any origin?" ”

"This bastard must be knowingly asking."

Suddenly, the shopkeeper Li hated it secretly and understood the "despicable" intentions of the shopkeeper Yue.

The shopkeeper Li knew in his heart that the shopkeeper Yue and the others must have been here for a while, and they must have heard Wang Guan's analysis and comments, and knew that there was something wrong with the Dehua white porcelain Guanyin statue on the table. Now that the shopkeeper Yue asked like this, he was obviously disgusting.

However, even if he knew that the shopkeeper Yue had bad intentions, the shopkeeper Li couldn't deal with it vaguely. After all, the thing belongs to Fengbaotang, and if there is really a problem, it will hurt the interests of Fengbaotang.

The most important thing is that with so many people present, Li Da's shopkeeper can't escape reality.

In the midst of a hundred thoughts, the shopkeeper Li picked up the white porcelain Guanyin statue, weighed it a little in his hand, and he knew that Wang Guan was right, the Guanyin statue was really top-heavy. However, the difference in the weight of the head and feet is very small, and if it is not deliberately measured, the average person will definitely ignore the past.

At this moment, the shopkeeper Li didn't realize that he had classified himself into the category of ordinary people. After looking at it for a moment, he straightened the statue again, then gritted his teeth and pushed the table.

In an instant, the table moved, and the statue of Guanyin on the table also shook, crumbling, and it was about to fall. However, before the Guanyin statue fell, Li Da's shopkeeper was like lightning, and he held the Guanyin statue well, avoiding the tragedy.

However, at this time, the shopkeeper Li was not happy, his face was a little pale, and he was in a very bad mood. This little experiment fully proves that Wang Guan is right, and the Guanyin statue is indeed very problematic.

Or some people feel that this is just a minor issue and there is no need to take it seriously. People make mistakes, maybe this Guanyin statue is He Chaozong's accidental mistake. But the shopkeeper Li knows very well that this excuse can only comfort the layman, and many things are often the details that determine success or failure......
