Dinghao Auction House, which is a well-known auction house in Hong Kong and even around the world. On the surface, it is known that the auction house once auctioned off a Yuan blue and white porcelain vase for a high price of 370 million US dollars. But they don't know that on one day of each quarter, the auction house holds a special auction of rare items such as bizarre or stolen national treasures.

Coming out of the hotel, Yan Murong got into Dong Wuyan's car, and then followed Li Jianhua and others to this auction house.

The auction house is not large, similar in size to some small theaters in Yanjing Tianqiao, and is divided into two floors, with a lobby below and a VIP room above.

"Why don't you go to the lounge?" Seeing that Li Jianhua and Duan Zixuan were also sitting in the hall, Yan Murong was a little strange.

"You don't have to go into the VIP room for such an auction." Li Jianhua explained with a smile. "The things sold tonight are very special, and everyone knows the roots, so there is no need to be so mysterious."

"Special? What kind of special law? Yan Murong asked while looking at the high platform at the front.

"Huh." Li Jianhua smiled slightly, leaned into Yan Murong's ear and whispered. "It's all not allowed to be sold outside."

"What are you not allowed to sell outside?" Yan Murong was even more confused. He's just a dirty kid.,In today's words, it's a pure dick ~ silk.,He knows the auction.,But what the process is.,He doesn't understand it at all.。

"You really don't know?" Li Jianhua looked at Yan Murong with a strange expression, thinking that this guy was pretending to be stupid.

"I don't have to ask if I want to know." Yan Murong touched his nose and smiled awkwardly. "I've been in the mountains before, and I've never been to this kind of place."

"Then it's no wonder." Li Jianhua smiled. "In fact, to put it bluntly, today's auction is private in nature, and the things to be auctioned today are all strange things, or some stolen national treasures."

"Is that okay?" Yan Murong asked in surprise.

"It's all said to be private and won't be known to outsiders." Li Jianhua explained. "And to be able to enter such an auction, everything that is auctioned is genuine."

"You're saying auction houses also auction fakes?"

"Yes."

Li Jianhua nodded and said. And that's quite a bit – billions of dollars are sold at auctions around the world every year. Do you think there are so many antiques in the world that are auctioned for them? ”

"How did that come about? It's all fake? ”

"Not necessarily." Li Jianhua said. "But there are very few genuine items, and you can only buy them at auctions like this – and I'm telling you, every big auction house has a connection to a counterfeiting company."

"Isn't there an expert who can see it?" Yan Murong asked suspiciously.

Now the treasure appreciation program on TV is very hot, Yan Murong has also watched a few episodes, and there are many genuine fakes in it, and those who are invited to be appraisal experts are also very professional, and they are also very honest, and it seems that it is easy to distinguish whether an antique is real or fake.

But hearing Li Jianhua say this, Yan Murong was confused again.

Billions of transactions every year, how many antiques are sold out, so many fakes, isn't there anyone who can see it? In this case, this group of experts is really bad - in this era of crazy pork prices, it is better to send them all to the slaughterhouse.

"It's hard." Li Jianhua shook his head. "To give you the simplest example, you know rice paper, right?"

"Yes."

"Well, let's talk about rice paper." Li Jianhua said. "You also know that our Huaxia is different from foreign countries, until now, the painting and writing are all rice paper, and the quality of the rice paper can directly affect the artistic conception of a painting."

"I know that." Yan Murong nodded clearly. "I used to write a lot."

"Then it's much easier for me to explain." Li Jianhua laughed. "Rice paper is very special, a piece of rice paper can be divided into several layers, you know this."

"yes, I know."

"That's the problem." Li Jianhua said with a smile. "A genuine famous painting, they use the current advanced technology to split the rice paper, one into two, one into four, and even one into eight - after the separation is framed, each one is real, you say, how can those experts distinguish?"

"And such a thing?" Yan Murong looked surprised.

He also knew that the rice paper was divided into several layers, but he didn't expect that this group of guys who wanted money to go crazy would use this to cheat.

"There's more." Regarding Yan Murong's expression, Li Jianhua was not surprised. Anyone who hears these words will probably be surprised.

"Besides, those famous paintings abroad, they don't use rice paper, so they can't fake them, but they have other tricks in the counterfeiting group - don't underestimate the painters there, all of them are masters."

As he spoke, Li Jianhua shook his head and felt slightly regretful. "It's a pity that they do all jobs that can't see the light, and they can only be famous when they die."

"I guess it's lucky enough not to leave a stink for 10,000 years, and it's still famous." Yan Murong said with a smile. "Anything else?"

"It's just too much." Li Jianhua said. "Let's just say porcelain - the imitation porcelain is first polished in sand, then put into the gray manganese oxygen liquid to soak, and finally worn and processed, and then look at it, it has a history of hundreds of years."

"There is also the fragments of antiquities that have been dug up, and after the archaeological restoration, what is less will be done - real body and false bottom, fake body and real bottom, and then irradiated with X-rays, the brand-new porcelain will become an antique at once."

Yan Murong smiled bitterly and shook his head, these people really think of any method for money, and it is thanks to their brains that they are so good.

After thinking about it, Yan Murong asked. "Then there are no real antiques on the market?"

"Ninety percent of it is fake." Li Jianhua said.

"So much?" Yan Murong asked in surprise. "Can't that group of antique experts see it at all?"

"I don't know." Li Jianhua said. "I've heard from someone who has done this before—the finished fakes are put in a container, and then burned at high pressure and low temperature to simulate the carbon emission process, so that the good fakes have a trace of time."

"It's a toss-up." Yan Murong said with a sneer.

"It's enough toss." Li Jianhua also laughed. "But for the sake of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars, it's worth tossing."
