It turned out that at the beginning, their side was the same as the north construction site, which was a small jade workshop, not at the beginning, it was a place to make and sell counterfeits.

At that time, the domestic antique market had just begun to recover, but it had not yet reached the height it is today.

At that time, there were also a group of Chinese people who liked jade, but the consumption power of the Chinese people at that time was really limited, even if they made exquisite jade, they could only be sold as high-end handicrafts, and they couldn't buy any good price at all.

At that time, some of the older generation of jade masters who went abroad at the time of liberation returned to China in the name of visiting relatives, bringing a lot of information about the foreign antique market, which also made the local mind activate a group of people and began to have ideas.

In the years that followed, various small workshops for secretly making fake antique jade began to spring up here.

At that time, after they finished making fake antique jade, some people would come from Yangcheng to receive the goods, and then transport them to Xiangjiang through smuggling, and then come to those antique shops or auctions through various channels.

Because at that time, there were no fake antique jade in the world, so the fakes they produced at that time were quite capable, and they were quickly snapped up by those collectors.

This also gave the people here a taste of sweetness, so the business became bigger and bigger.

Later, even in the world, the antique fake jade they produced here has become internationally famous, and many antique lovers are discolored when they hear it. There are hardly many who have not paid their tuition.

Can do so they have the products here. Although the reputation stinks. But all kinds of people come here.

There are antique dealers in Xiangjiang, antique dealers in Baodao, as well as Singapore, the United States, and even some white-skinned ghost animals have followed the road and found here, so their fame here is getting bigger and bigger, and their business is getting bigger and bigger.

And then later. It's not just those people who came, with the development of the domestic economy all the way up, the domestic antique entertainment market is also fully recovered, more and more rich people like to be vassal, buy a few antiques at home to play.

And Chinese have always liked jade, especially the ancient jade of the previous year, which is even more flattering, a quick finger-sized handle, as long as it is from the Ming and Qing dynasties. You can buy hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands. In this way, the domestic ancient jade market is also on fire.

As a result, there are more and more unscrupulous domestic antique dealers, or all kinds of dealers, who come to them to shop for goods, so that this antique jade market in the Pearl City has finally made a name.

This is the origin of this antique jade market, as for the fraud, there are many doorways here......

"In fact, fraud can be divided into several aspects, some are low-end, some are high-end, but now few people have done high-end, mainly concentrated in the low-end market."

As soon as Lao Luo talked about these things, there were a lot of words, and Jin Muchen was also fascinated by it.

"Oh? How do you say that? ”

"The reason is very simple, it's because of the problem of this jade material. In fact, the mainstream of consumption in the market is still low-end jade, good jade, although everyone likes it, but after all, the price is too high, so the consumption of people is specific, and the number of people is not large. And people who can afford such good things, of course, will ask a few special appraisal masters to help identify them, and it is a bit difficult to fool them. Another key is that now if you want to make high-end antique jade, then you have to pass the test in terms of materials first, such as high-end antique jade, which is basically all mutton fat white jade from Hetian. And if you want to make a fake Hetian white jade, then you first have to make sure that the material you use must also be mutton fat white jade. What is the price of this mutton fat white jade now? The production is scarce, and the price of the rough is about to catch up with jadeite, who is willing to use such a precious material to make a fake? It is better to use this material directly and find a few skilled carvers to make genuine goods, so that even if it is not an antique, the price of the product will not be too low. ”

As soon as Lao Luo said this, Jin Muchen finally understood a little bit of Taoism.

"But looking at the low-end ancient jade market, it's a different story. Because of the ancient jade in the low-end market, the general material is jasper, but the ancient jasper, that is also from Hetian's jasper. Such jasper is very valuable, but now because of the discovery of Qing@Haiyu Mine and Russian Jade Mine, there are many places where you can make a fuss. Qing@ sea jade is also jasper, and the output is large, and Russian jade is the same, most of them are jasper, the output is large, and the quality is relatively high-end, so the price of these two kinds of jade is not too high, but it is a good material for making antique fake jade. Now here is to use green @ sea jade to make low-end antique fake jade, and use Russian jade to make mid-end antique fake jade, because Russian jasper impurities are less than green @ sea jade, and the quality is a little better, so everyone does this. ”

As soon as Lao Luo said this, Jin Muchen finally understood, it turned out that this antique fake jade was also graded by looking at the material.

"When it comes to old methods, it's actually very simple."

Hearing Lao Luo say this, Jin Muchen pricked up his ears all of a sudden, and finally reached the key, this Lao Luo is really a sincere person, he didn't even plan to hide this from himself, he was really Sister Tao's good brother!

"In fact, the so-called fraud, according to our jargon, is to make the old, so that the newly carved jade has more traces of antiquity. The most common method is the acid aging method, which is generally to place the carved jade in a 10% hydrofluoric acid solution, soak it for about 4-10 hours, and when it is taken out, the jade has the so-called "white gray skin" on it. This kind of white gray skin is generally used by those who enter and exit the industry to judge the age of the ancient jade. Either the jade is soaked in a solution mixed with sulfuric acid, nitric acid and water to make a white ash skin. Of course, if you want to add other colors to certain parts of the jade, you can use wax to seal the parts that do not need to be gray before soaking. Some parts of the fake jade that come out of this way will not bring white gray skin, which looks more beautiful, and when judging and identifying, it is also more confusing. ”

This Lao Luo is really a sincere person, and he said so much to Jin Muchen in one breath, but it opened Jin Muchen's eyes.

And hearing him say this, Jin Muchen also had a layer of white sweat on his back, fortunately, he has such a pair of golden eyes, which can remove the fake and keep the truth, and let himself judge that which is the real thing and which is the fake.

If I didn't have those golden eyes, I am afraid that I would have to die on this jade alone.

This gang of fraudulent traffickers, but Zhennima is lacking in virtue, you must know that Chinese like jade, and like to raise jade, get a piece of jade back, must like to often hold it in the palm of the hand.

But you actually use all kinds of special sulfuric acid, nitric acid, or hydrofluoric acid to soak jade, what should you do if you accidentally get poisoned when you take it back to the plate?

This Nima is lacking in virtue enough, but although he is secretly scolding in his heart at this time, he is still talking and laughing on the surface, and he does not show the slightest dissatisfaction with these two couples.

"And what about all that? What other channels will we use to make the old? ”

There is also the so-called alkaline old-fashioning method, which is also called the "high-pressure olding" method. It is to mix sodium hydroxide with sodium carbonate and sodium brick ate in a certain proportion, wrap the polished jade in lard, put it in a closed stainless steel pressure cooker and add heat and pressure, the pressure is generally controlled at 80-120 atmospheres, and the temperature is controlled at 160-200 degrees. After four days, it was removed, dried with hot air with carbon dioxide, and then reduced with sulfuric acid, and the surface of the jade showed a white gray skin and glass light. If you want to color, you can also apply mercury sulfide or ferric chloride to the part to be colored before putting the jade into the pressure cooker. The fake jade produced in this way is even more difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake, and it is generally used to make those mid-range antique fake jade. If it weren't for the old man who has been in the jade industry for decades, then don't even think about judging the difference between this fake jade and the real antique......"

When Lao Luo said this, his face was already red with excitement.

And Jin Muchen could only be dumbfounded when he heard this, Nima, the person who invented this method of counterfeiting, Zhen Nima is a genius.

If you had used this kung fu to study this crooked way, but if you had used it in a serious way, but instead studied and engaged in scientific research, perhaps China would have had one more Nobel Prize winner in chemistry or physics.

Listening to Lao Luo say so much, Jin Muchen only felt that he was very brainy, if he hadn't been told so much about him, even if he broke his head, he wouldn't have thought that this ancient jade was fake, it turned out to be such a doorway, and his skills were so deep.

It seems that this business of making antique fake jade is really not something that anyone can do.

If you don't have basic knowledge of chemistry and physics, it will be difficult for you to get into the door.

On the other hand, the antique fake jade made by such a profound combination of physics and chemistry is really right what Lao Luo said.

If you are not a master who has been immersed in this jade business for many years, you really don't want to judge the difference between this fake jade and real antiques based on your eyes and experience alone. (To be continued.) )
