Chapter 62: Shocking Change

Just when Tibetan friends hated the shady scenes of pawnshops and auction houses, they lost trust. The whistleblower jumped out again to break the news: the four fakes collected by the Ningdu pawnshop were all detected by the identification instrument of the Hengxing pawnshop, and the carbon 14 test by the authority was completely correct!

If Hengxing Pawnshop was just a small character before, after this incident, Hengxing's reputation became famous, and the customers were overflowing, not only robbing the customers who originally belonged to Ningdu Pawnshop, but even the customers of other pawnshops were lost to varying degrees.

A discerning person can immediately see the clue, what happened to the Ningdu pawnshop is a complete conspiracy at all! And the maker of this conspiracy is likely to be the Hengxing pawnshop that benefited the most.

Hengxing's approach has caused dissatisfaction among people in the industry, after all, in the industry, everyone wants to eat more and occupy more, but that depends on ability! The reason why Ningdu Pawnshop was able to become the boss of the pawnshop in the past was because of its early start and strong strength, and secondly, because of Dong Dechang's super high industry status and prestige, so although some pawnshops were unwilling, they were also convinced. In comparison, Hengxing's approach is very unauthentic, completely stepping on other people's shoulders to climb up.

It's the same in any industry, if you dare to do the first year of junior high school, don't be afraid of others doing the fifteenth. Some pawnshops have joined forces to implement the practice of "treating others the way they do" against Hengxing.

For a time, many high-imitation fakes flowed to Hengxing pawnshop, as for the so-called modern inspection instruments that Hengxing boasted before, almost no one in the industry believed it! The most authoritative way to inspect antiques is carbon 14 testing. However, this method of inspection is cumbersome, time-consuming, and sampling antiques has a high risk of damaging them. So the method of carbon fourteen is not commonly used. In addition, you can only rely on expert testing.

It's unbelievable that a machine can determine the authenticity of a machine in a short period of time by means of radiographic scanning.

But the facts have surprised many people, although the simulation of these fakes has reached the level that it can be fake, but Hengxing's testing instruments have all been tested.

Far from succeeding, the "punishment" of Hengxing made its reputation even louder.

Hengxing took the opportunity to move this instrument imported from Japan to the lobby, and inspected hundreds of pawned antiques, and the error rate was zero! The testing instrument is called the artifact "magic eye" by Tibetan friends.

There are even some people who go to Hengxing pawnshop not to pawn at all, but to test their collection of antiques.

In just a few months, Hengxing has completed the perfect transformation from a newcomer in the industry to a leading boss.

Of course, some people are happy and some are worried. As a former industry leader, Ningdu Pawnshop is gloomy, and even the chief appraiser Dong Dechang is disgraced, angry and bedridden.

"Brother Qi, are you saying that the instrument of the Hengxing pawnshop only needs to be swept with a ray to determine the authenticity of the antique?" Yu Fei asked curiously.

"Not really! At first, I didn't believe it, but after seeing it myself, I believed that there was indeed such a machine. Moreover, after the detection of experts, the damage of this ray to antiques is very small, which is one-thousandth of that of ordinary cameras! ”

"There is such a machine, isn't that a fight with the chaotic qi in my right hand?" Yu Fei thought in his heart, and at the same time, he was more interested in the so-called testing instrument of Hengxing Pawnshop, and he must take a good look at it when he has the opportunity, maybe he will have a reference for his chaotic qi use.

"Here it is." Qi Yue led the three of them out of a hospital room.

On the hospital bed, Dong Dechang was resting. His brows were tightly locked, his originally healthy complexion turned dry yellow at this time, he looked haggard and weak, his hair was dry and messy, and he became even grayer, and the whole person seemed to be more than ten years old!

"Dad......" Dong Ziyun couldn't help crying.

seemed to be disturbed by the voice, and Dong Dechang, who had not slept too deeply, woke up.

"Is it Xiao Qi?" Dong Dechang's old voice asked.

"Dad, it's me. Ziyun is back. Dong Ziyun choked up and said. In her heart, her father is as immobile as a mountain, and he has been her idol since he was a child. Dong Ziyun never thought that he didn't know when his father had grown so old.

Dong Dechang's old eyes opened suddenly: "Ziyun, are you back?" He tried his best to make his voice look normal: "I'm old, my body is useless, and I can't bear a little illness." Hehe, Ziyun, when did you come back? Have you eaten? Whatever you want to eat, go home and your dad will make it for you. ”

Dong Dechang struggled to get up, and Yu Fei hurriedly stepped forward to help him up and lean on the pillow.

"Yu Fei, thank you this time." Dong Dechang turned his head and nodded to Fei: "Before you went to Tibet, you asked me to take care of the 'Treasure Pavilion' more, I didn't expect that my body was not strong, not only did I not help Xiao Qi, but also Xiao Qi came to take care of me, an old immortal, every day." He knew that the reason why Qi Yue would take care of him like this was entirely because of Yu Fei.

"Elder Dong, look at what you said, this is what we should do as juniors." Qi Yue hurriedly said.

"Uncle Dong, you can recuperate with peace of mind." Yu Fei guided the chaotic qi into Dong Dechang's body as he spoke, but found that Dong Dechang's body was fine. His illness is in his heart, and he can't get over the hurdle in his heart.

"Brother Qi has already told us what happened here."

"So you already know the way." Dong Dechang smiled, "I'm old, I'm old, and I planted such a big heel, and my old face was lost." ”

"Uncle Dong, don't say that, who hasn't had an eye-catcher?" Yu Fei persuaded him, and asked suspiciously: "You have been in this business for decades, what kind of fake can hide from your eyes?" ”

Yongxuan blue and white porcelain represents the highest level of Chinese blue and white porcelain production, it is not only different from the warm and unrestrained Yuan blue and white porcelain, but also different from the elegant and clumsy blue and white in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, and different from the bright and gorgeous blue and white in the early Qing Dynasty. Its exotic style shape, heavy and bright color, and otherworldly ornamentation have been praised by later generations as "the unprecedented and wonderful of the opening generation".

There are many fakes of Yongxuan blue and white, and Dong Dechang's level of appreciating antiques can be called "fiery eyes", how can he be easily deceived by a fake?

"Alas, it's my fault for being careless." Dong Dechang sighed, "Although the blue and white porcelain vase is very clever, if I look more carefully, I won't be unable to see it." ”

It turned out that the Yongxuan blue and white porcelain vase that made Dong Dechang eye-catching was not strictly a complete fake, but a spliced product, which was commonly said to be the old bottom and the new porcelain. To put it bluntly, it is to configure a body with a genuine incomplete foot, and the foot and the device are tightly sealed through fine polishing, and then use a high-strength adhesive to firmly bond the foot and the body together, and after the bonding is firm, a special putty is played at the joint, and after the putty is completely dry, the glaze is sprayed with a spray gun. Of course, this is only a schematic process, and the actual operation process is much more elaborate and complicated.

This practice of counterfeiters is actually a habit of appraisers to identify porcelain. After the appraisal expert takes a piece of porcelain, he usually turns it over first, first looks at the bottom, and the bottom is facing up, and the bottom is looking at the bottom. Because there are too many signals at the bottom, its tire quality, the raw materials used, the process of repairing the billet, the method of pad firing, etc., can be reflected at the bottom.

Dong Dechang is also burdened by this habit. Of course, if he looks at the bottom of the foot and then carefully observes the body, he can find that although the body is trying its best to imitate the characteristics of Yongxuan blue and white, and it does have a little bit of charm, there are actually some differences. But Dong Dechang was too confident, so he didn't look at it carefully, but handed the bottle to Wenxuan, so that he could have a long insight.

Wen Xuan's appraisal of antiques may not be yet hot, but the faces of the observers, especially Dong Dechang's, are very accomplished. When he saw the master's face, he already knew the evaluation of the master of the Dao, so he combined the characteristics of Yongxuan blue and white to determine that this bottle was an object with a wide open door, which made Dong Dechang feel relieved and thought that Wenxuan had finally grown.

"By the way, Dad, what about Senior Brother Wenxuan?" Dong Ziyun asked. It stands to reason that Dong Dechang is sick and should be taken care of by his side as an apprentice. However, now the person who is taking care of him at the bedside is Qi Yue, who has no friendship!

"Wen Xuan? Alas! Dong Dechang sighed, "Don't talk about him." ”

Qi Yue's face showed a little disdain and anger, and he couldn't help but say: "If it weren't for that kid, Dong Lao wouldn't be so angry!" ”

"What's going on?"
