Dongfang Shuo's "Records of the Ten Continents in the Sea" recorded, "When King Mu of Zhou, Xihu offered Kunwu to cut jade knives and glow-in-the-dark cups. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The info knife is one foot long, and the cup is three liters. The knife cuts the jade like cutting the mud, and the cup is the essence of white jade, and the light shines at night. ”

If the luminous cup in Huo Dongyuan's hand is really a tribute to the princes and nobles in the Western Zhou Dynasty, it can be said to be a rare treasure and belongs to the national first-class cultural relics.

However, Qin Fan bluntly said that this luminous cup is an imitation made by modern technology, and it has been artificially old, not something from the Western Zhou Dynasty.

To put it simply, this luminous cup is not an antique at all, but a well-made modern handicraft.

Hearing Qin Fan's appraisal results, Huo Dongyuan's face changed suddenly.

It's not that he cares about money, but he can't afford to lose face. The luminous cup, which I used as a treasure, turned out to be a modern handicraft with no collection value, and no one could accept it.

"It seems that Huo Gongzi doesn't believe my appraisal results?"

The craftsmanship of this luminous cup is very clever, and it is difficult for ordinary collectors to see the flaws, and it is no wonder that Huo Dongyuan will be deceived and regard this luminous cup as a treasure unearthed in the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Huo Dongyuan's face changed for a while, and he didn't believe Qin Fan's appraisal in his heart. He cast an inquiring glance at Old Chen, but he couldn't see any expression on Old Chen's face, and he didn't know if what Qin Fan said was true or not.

"No, you have to make it clear to me today. Why isn't my luminous cup an antique, if you don't explain it, you don't want to leave. ”

Wang Mengqi raised her eyebrows, rubbed her pink fist, and said with a smile, "What's the matter, Xiao Dongzi." Do you still want to threaten my friend? ”

Huo Dongyuan didn't dare to provoke this little aunt and grandmother, and squeezed out an ugly smile on his face, "How dare I threaten your friends, I sincerely want to make friends with Xiao Qin." ”

"Since that's the case, then I'll tell Huo Gongzi about the glow-in-the-dark cup you brought." Qin Fan cleared his throat and said seriously, "This kind of luminous cup, also known as an antique luminous cup, is made in the style of wine cups in the Western Zhou Dynasty. This cup is a rare treasure with excellent craftsmanship, crystal clear, smooth and delicate from the surface, and as thin as paper. But there is an obvious flaw in this cup, and it can be judged at a glance that it is definitely not something from the Western Zhou Dynasty. ”

"Flaws?"

Huo Dongyuan was even more puzzled in his heart, this luminous cup was flawless in terms of style, material and workmanship, how could there be any flaws for Qin Fan to grasp.

"The history of Jiuquan luminous cup is very long, and today's luminous cup is made of old mountain jade, new mountain jade and river jade of Qilian Mountain. It is characterized by brilliant colors, beautiful shapes, and exquisite clarity. ”

"The luminous cup in your hand should be made of the old mountain jade of Qilian Mountain and carefully polished."

Qilian Mountain is covered with snow all year round, and the weather is cold. The jade material for making the luminous cup comes from the Qilian Mountain above sea level of three or four thousand meters, and the jade is dark green, made into a cup, verdant and dripping, even in the hot summer, it makes people feel cold.

Due to traffic restrictions, it is still very difficult to mine and transport jade from the Qilian Mountains, and the supply of jade to the market is very limited. And the utilization rate of jade material for making a luminous cup is only 60%, because the output is limited, and the high-quality luminous cup is naturally very precious.

The luminous cup made of the old mountain jade of Qilian Mountain has the advantages of high temperature resistance and cold resistance. The hot wine does not burst or burst, and it does not freeze or explode in the cold winter. After the wine is served, the color does not change and the taste is stronger, which is called white jade essence.

"So what, what the hell are you trying to say?" Huo Dongyuan asked impatiently.

Qin Fan was not in a hurry, and told Huo Dongyuan eloquently, "As far as I know, there was indeed a record of paying tribute to the princes and nobles in the Western Zhou Dynasty, but at that time, the jade material used to make the luminous cup was not Qilian jade but Hetian jade. It was not until later, when the supply of Hetian jade was insufficient, that the jade material from Qilian Mountain was used to make luminous cups. ”

"From this alone, I can conclude that this luminous cup must not be something from the Western Zhou Dynasty."

And this luminous cup has obvious traces of artificial aging, so it must not be an antique, but an antique luminous cup made by modern technology.

After listening to Qin Fan's explanation, Huo Dongyuan was still a little unconvinced, and turned his head to look at Old Chen.

There is no way, Qin Fan's age is too young, and what he said is not convincing in the eyes of some experts.

Old Chen's eyes closed slightly, but he didn't look at Huo Dongyuan, but said to Qin Fan, "Young man, your eyesight is good." I don't know which senior in the circle you learned your ability to identify antiques? ”

Hearing Old Chen's words, Huo Yuandong's heart jumped, and his eyes when he looked at Qin Fan suddenly changed a little.

"I used to learn antique appraisal from Mr. Meng Daoqin from Luzhou for a period of time." Qin Fan thought for a moment and pulled out Old Man Meng's banner.

Hearing this, Old Chen showed a sudden look on his face, "It turns out that you are a disciple of Old Meng, no wonder." ”

The domestic antique circle says that it is big and big, and it is small and small. Many well-known collectors know each other, and they usually exchange their collecting experiences with each other. So Elder Chen would know Mr. Meng Daoqin, and Qin Fan was not surprised at all.

"Old Chen, do you give me a letter of approval, so that I can die with peace of mind, otherwise I won't be able to sleep when I go back at night." Huo Dongyuan still didn't give up, and wanted to know the exact result from Old Chen's mouth.

"Xiao Huo, you are just too anxious. If you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, especially if you are engaged in antique collection, you must calm down, otherwise it is easy to take medicine. As for your glow-in-the-dark cup, it is indeed antique. Let's take it as a lesson this time. ”

Syllable!

Huo Dongyuan's face turned pale for a while, and he couldn't help but slap the table in anger, startling Chen Lao and Wang Mengqi.

"Xiao Dongzi, what are you crazy about. Believe it or not, sister pumping you. Wang Mengqi was ready to fight.

"I'm sorry, Old Chen. I'm not targeting you. That Huang Tianhao is so hateful, he actually got to the master, and the master can't kill him. ”

Huo Dongyuan reacted and hurriedly apologized to Old Chen. Old Chen is so old, if he is scared out of the way, he is afraid that he will have his leg broken by his family.

"Don't talk about it, I wrote down Mr. Qin's events today, and I'll invite you to drink another day."

Although this Huo Dongyuan is sloppy, he is not a narrow-minded person. If it weren't for Qin Fan's identification that his luminous cup was a modern handicraft and not an antique, he would still be kept in the dark by Huang Tianhao's kid.

After Huo Dongyuan left Feng Yage with an angry face, Qin Fan and Wang Mengqi drank tea in the club for a while, exchanged some experiences with Chen Lao on the appraisal of ancient jade, and then said goodbye and went back.

……

"Brother Tianhao, in the past few days, you have invited us to drink and pick up girls, which has made you break the bank."

In a high-end bar in Sanlitun, Huang Tianhao, whose hair was dyed yellow, looked like a boy in a Hong Kong movie, squinted at the beautiful woman on the dance floor who was desperately twisting her waist, and said with a smug face, "Hehe, buddy has recently made a windfall, even if you drink a few brothers, it's all mine." ”

"Where has Brother Tianhao made his fortune recently, tell a few brothers, let us follow some light."

Huang Tianhao hiccuped and said mysteriously, "Do you know what is the most profitable business these days?" ”

"What kind of business, is it a bank robbery?"

"Grab your head. I haven't heard of a word, the golden collection in troubled times. Of course, this year is to make money in the antique business. ”

"Antiques? Brother Tianhao, when did you become so cultured, you even know antiques. ”

Huang Tianhao pursed his lips and scolded with a triumphant smile, "I have a fart culture." As long as there is a channel to get some fake things, you can see how many things in those antique markets are real, and you can count them in one slap. ”

"Fake? Will a boss buy a fake antique from you? ”

"Hehe, don't say it. A while ago, there was really a big wrongdoer, who bought a wine glass from me from the Western Zhou Dynasty. What kind of Yanjing Sishao is this wronged boss, and now I'm afraid that I still hold that fake as a treasure. Tell me about such a wronged leader, who will I kill if I don't kill him? ”

Just when Huang Tianhao was smug, he suddenly noticed that the faces of his friends around him were a little strange, and his eyes were staring directly behind him.

Huang Tianhao turned his head, but he saw Huo Dongyuan's gloomy face, and he didn't know when he appeared behind him.

"What, Huo Gongzi, why are you here?" A layer of cold sweat broke out on Huang Tianhao's face, and a smile that was even uglier than crying appeared on his face, and he couldn't wait to slap himself twice, who let him drink a few sips of horse urine.

"You kid is very fat, and he actually got into the pit on the master's head."

Huo Dongyuan sneered, rounded his arm and slapped Huang Tianhao in the face, then kicked him out with a kick, slammed it on the table, and knocked over a table of beer.

A few sisters with heavy makeup who were with Huang Tianhao screamed in fright, but no one dared to go up to stop Huo Dongyuan.

The security guards who were watching the bar saw that someone was coming to make trouble, and hurriedly rushed over. It's just that when they saw Huo Dongyuan, their faces suddenly changed, and they just pretended not to see it.

Just kidding, with Huo Dongyuan's identity and status, even if the bar owner comes, he will be respectful to him, not to mention a few of their little security guards.

Huo Dongyuan kicked Huang Tianhao a few times before he was relieved, and said angrily, "Don't say that the master bullied you, the money you gave you last time should be regarded as medical expenses." Don't let me see you in Yanjing City in the future, otherwise I'll see you once. ”

After Huo Dongyuan finished venting and left, Huang Tianhao struggled to get up from the ground with a blue nose and swollen face.

"No, how did Huo Dongyuan know that the luminous cup was not an antique. Could it be that someone is behind the scenes? ”

The more Huang Tianhao thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and said with an ugly face, "A few of you will go to check for me, who is demolishing Lao Tzu's platform, if you let me know, Lao Tzu will kill him!" ”

Qin Fan didn't know what happened to Huang Tianhao, even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

It didn't take long for Qin Fan to receive a call from Dean Tang Huaiyuan, and the information on that map was finally translated.
