Sister Wang narrowed her eyes slightly, and speculated: "Boss Xu, what do you mean ......?"

Xu Wen said with a deep smile: "Doing business is nothing more than trying to make a fortune, some businesses should be honest in business, and they must have a good reputation, but some businesses can not be too sincere, this antique business is a business of handing over money and delivering goods with one hand, and making huge profits is to make huge profits. ”

Sister Wang didn't admit or refuse, but said lightly: "This has to be mixed with water and smartly, otherwise it will be pierced by others at a glance, wouldn't it be lifting a stone to shoot yourself in the foot?" ”

Xu Wen smiled and said: "Boss Wang, don't worry about this, I also told you this big truth because you are Boss Huang's friendship, since I have said this, I will let you open your eyes." ”

As he spoke, he led the three of them to the depths of the storehouse, and saw that there was another pile of boxes inside, and in the boxes were also all kinds of antiques, of which jade accounted for the majority.

Xu Wen stood aside and said to Zhao Zhuo and the others with a smile: "You can take a look to see if it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood." ”

Zhao Zhuo squatted down, picked up a piece of jade with blood and looked at it, and after looking at it for a long time, his heart suddenly beat violently, and his eyes opened wide at the same time.

He immediately picked up another piece of jade, looked at it for a while, and then picked up several others in succession.

Xu Wen saw Zhao Zhuo's heavy face, and thought that he thought that it was difficult to distinguish between the true and the false, and the smile on his face became even stronger.

And the reason why Zhao Zhuo is so heavy is because of the counterfeiting methods of these jades, he is familiar!

As early as the jade treasure appraisal conference, Zhao Zhuo has seen the fakes made by these counterfeiting methods, you know, although there are many methods of jade counterfeiting, and even some methods are the same in procedure, such as Xueqin counterfeiting, which is to cut open the animal's abdomen, stuff the jade into the animal's belly while the blood is hot, bury it in the ground, and take it out after a year or two.

However, different animals, different blood qualities, different times, and different soil qualities may have different effects on the unearthed jade.

However, the jade artifacts that Zhao Zhuo has seen so far are counterfeit for various types of jade such as blood qin, black spots, and tuqin, and they are very realistic, if it weren't for his extraordinary attainments in jade, I am afraid he would also be fooled.

What's more, he was very impressed by the kind of jade he had identified at the treasure appraisal conference, so as soon as he saw these jades, he immediately remembered them, and at the same time, the conversation of Wang Zhengming, the owner of the Zhongtian Club, came to mind.

His father was deceived by a fake ancient jade dragon in the Warring States period and went bankrupt, and later created the Zhongtian Club, in order to find out the real culprit behind the scenes, but with the search, it was found that the liar was just a small character, and his father was not the only one who was deceived by the fake, and the person behind it had a huge force specializing in making fake jade, and asked Zhao Zhuo to help investigate.

It's just that Zhao Zhuo didn't agree to come down because of the importance of the situation at that time, but he didn't expect to encounter the same kind of fake in this place.

However, there is still a certain gap between these fakes and the fakes that I have come into contact with, that is, the price, the fakes in these boxes are currently at the lower middle level, and there is no high-priced one at all.

Moreover, it seems that this Boss Huang is not simple, otherwise Xu Wen would not be able to directly explain that these are fakes and treat Sister Wang as his next family. Or, such a push-and-believe is a scam at all, just to gain Sister Wang's trust.

Xu Wen smiled at this time: "How about it, two, you don't see what happened, right?" ”

Although Zhao Zhuo and Sister Wang have not been together for a long time, they still know that she is a person and is quite honest and fair, so they are not worried that she will really be moved by Xu Wen, after all, Sister Wang's family background is different, and she is a family friend of the Ji family.

Seeing that Sister Wang seemed to be about to speak, Zhao Zhuo spoke first: "Boss Xu, these things are indeed very well imitated, but if you look closely, you can tell that they are fakes, and the selling price is not high, and the best ones are only hundreds of thousands, and if the buyer is not a novice, as long as he has been immersed in this jade for several years, I am afraid he will not be so easily fooled." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Sister Wang and Jing Yao, although they didn't know what Zhao Zhuo meant, but they didn't speak.

Xu Wen looked at Zhao Zhuo with some surprise, and said with a smile: "You young man is quite eye-catching, and this fake is the same as a real antique, there are also upper and lower grades, since you are not very satisfied with these, then I will introduce you to more high-end things." ”

With that, Xu Wen led the two out of the deeper part of the warehouse, opened a code door, and after entering it, it was a small room with many metal cabinets in it.

Xu Wen opened one of them, and carefully took out a wooden box from it, and the good mahogany box wrapped an item with a bit of age yellow satin.

When the silk was opened, it was a jade Fushou vase inside.

This bottle is carved by the whole jade, 20cm high, the shape of the instrument is regular and atmospheric, the bottle cap is carved round Rui beast button, Rui beast looks back and lies down, quite imposing, in the bottleneck at the Yin carving technique to cut the word "Fu" and "Shou", the bottle body relief is regular and orderly flower and grass pattern, finely crafted, it is quite a standard vessel type in the Qing Dynasty.

Roughly speaking, this jade bottle is not only carved with excellent workmanship, but also pure white in color, which seems to be carved from the seeds of Hetian jade, and there is a round pulp on the bottle body, indicating that it is handed down.

Jade carving utensils for jade materials, jade workers have higher requirements, has always been a collection of heavy vessels, in the previous Qing Palace old collection auctions, jade carving utensils can often be auctioned at a high price, there is no lack of top work.

And now, in the situation of Hetian jade material is depleted, jade workers take into account the turnover cycle and investment income, rarely use large pieces of jade to make large jade carving vessels, often make short turnover time, high investment return on the card and the category, so the material is excellent, the carving is exquisite and the image of the beautiful bottle is even more rare, not to mention the Qing Dynasty?

Zhao Zhuo squinted his eyes and looked around the jade bottle for a while, and then slowly saw the flaw.

The price of Hetian jade is the highest in sheep fat jade, the seed material is high, the mountain water material is second, and the mountain material is even more second.

First of all, this jade carving is not the seed material of Hetian jade, but is made of the most inferior mountain material.

Hetian jade seed material is formed by erosion and erosion after tens of millions of years of erosion under the long-term collision of river water, and the texture is fine and glutinous and moisturizing, which is a treasure in jade, and the price is naturally expensive.

However, in order to achieve the greatest benefit, unscrupulous businessmen cut and polish the mountain jade or other similar jade to create the shape of seed jade, supplemented by dyeing and skin, and the shape is Chengren to make seed material.

Generally speaking, artificial seed material is still quite easy to distinguish, because the surface of natural seed jade is washed by water in the river for many years, sanding, moist and full of fine sand holes like hairy skin, forming uneven hemp skin pits, and the shape arc is very natural.

However, after dyeing and making skin, it will be much more difficult to distinguish.

A layer of brown-red or brownish-yellow jade skin distributed on the surface of Hetian seed jade, so it is customary to call it skin-colored seed jade. The use of seed material to make jade carving utensils, generally in order to show that the jade is a real seed material, so a part of the skin will be left.

Like this Fushou bottle, there is a small brownish-yellow skin at the mouth of the bottle, and the jade discerner will judge that this jade bottle is a real seed material when he sees this layer of skin.

However, this skin is indeed the outer skin of the real seed material, but it is the skin color of the real seed jade added to the mountain material, which is like the bottom of the bottle of fake porcelain is real, and the bottle body is fake, if you are confused by the bottom of the bottle, you will be fooled.

And after Zhao Zhuo read this, he was 100% sure that this Xu Wen must have something to do with the counterfeiting group, because this counterfeiting method of using real seed material as the skin is exactly the same as the counterfeiting method encountered at the treasure appraisal conference.

Xu Wen smiled at this time: "What's the matter, I really can't see it now, right?" Don't talk about you, a young man, this jade is more like the real thing than the real thing, even if it is an old connoisseur with more than ten or twenty years of appraisal experience, he can't see it. As for the price, it is not a problem to sell it for three or four million. ”

Zhao Zhuo couldn't help nodding, and smiled at Sister Wang: "It's true that it's hard to distinguish between truth and falsehood, but Sister Wang, investing in an antique shop is not something that can be done all at once, I think a lot of things have to be poked at the business, like getting a store or something, you have to open it elsewhere, you can't rob Boss Xu's business." ”

Sister Wang immediately came to her senses and said with a smile: "Xiao Zhuo is right, Boss Xu really opened my eyes today, but there are some things I still have to think about." ”

Xu Wen was not surprised, and said with a smile: "Boss Wang can think about it slowly, but this matter has to be kept secret." ”

Sister Wang said: "Boss Xu, don't worry, I really want to open an antique shop, and this kind of trade secret will naturally not be nonsense." ”

The three of them got out of the antique shop, and after getting into the car, Jing Yao asked, "Zhao Zhuo, what did you find in the store just now?" ”

Zhao Zhuo told the matter of the fake jade group, but it did not involve Wang Zhengming, but only said that a person he knew was killed by fake jade, so the two couldn't help but sigh.

Jing Yao was surprised: "Sister Wang, why does this thing sound so weird, will that Boss Huang also have a problem?" ”

Sister Wang frowned slightly, and said for a while: "I think, this may really be a bureau, I remember not long ago, Lao Huang seemed to have mentioned a few things to me about investments, and I didn't agree to it at the time, but if I have a handle to fall into his hands, I'm afraid I can't help myself." ”
