Chapter 331: Fakes
PS: Traffic light please support!!
"If you take a rich girl like me with a lot of money, is it really just sent?"
What stunned Yu Fei was that this woman suddenly repeated the joke she had just said to Ye Jianjun in Chinese!
What she said just now, she actually heard, not only heard, but also understood, not only understood, she even repeated it.
Yu Fei's face was feverish. The woman's voice also let him know who she was.
"Margaret, how could it be you?" Yu Fei asked a little embarrassed.
That's right, the mysterious woman in front of her is none other than Margaret that Yu Fei met by chance in Bloommonse! Because Margaret and Yu Fei spoke Chinese when they got along before, when they were just bidding, Margaret's English made Yu Fei unable to hear her voice.
Moreover, Margaret's temperament and demeanor at this time were completely different from when she was in Bloomunse, which also made Yu Fei dare not recognize her.
"Why can't it be me?" Margaret gently lifted her veil, revealing a stunningly beautiful face. But it was quickly put down.
"Am I an ugly, pockmarked old woman?" Margaret asked.
Yu Fei shook his head, and said in his heart that women are really animals who hold grudges, and hurriedly said: "If you are an old woman who is extremely ugly and pockmarked with a pockmarked face, then I am afraid that a large number of people will turn to like old women." ”
Margaret smiled and said, "Then who are Lin Chiling and Sister Feng?" ”
Yu Fei: ......
"I guess you're a movie star, right?" Yu Fei changed the subject. Margaret's actions reminded him of a star who was guarding against the paparazzi's candid photography.
"Sort of." Margaret said a little hurriedly: "Anyway, it will be a little troublesome to be recognized." ”
Yu Fei nodded, and said in his heart that this was right. But. It seems that there is no female star named Margaret in my memory. After thinking about it again, I was relieved, I was not a star chaser, and I couldn't even watch a few movies. Not to mention watching foreign movies. Foreign celebrities don't know a few things, and it's normal not to know each other.
"Oh yes, you haven't said anything about letting me get that blue and white plum vase on the spot?" After coming back in a big circle, Margaret finally thought of the purpose of Yu Fei's visit.
"Of course, I want to see the famous Yongle blue and white porcelain with my own eyes." Yu Fei said as a matter of course: "I'm not afraid to tell you, I'm also a porcelain collector, especially Yongxuan's blue and white, oh." You may not know the relationship between Yongle and Yongxuan. In fact, it is very simple, Yongle is the Yongle Emperor Zhu Di, and Yongxuan is two people. One is the Yongle Emperor and the other is the Xuande Emperor, because the style of porcelain during the reign of these two emperors is similar, so they often call the blue and white porcelain of their period together Yongxuan blue and white. But although I like Yongxuan blue and white very much. But you also know that the price of blue and white porcelain in this period is high. But I'm not shy in my pocket, and it's not like you spent seven million pounds without blinking, aren't you worried about taking a fake? ”
Yu Fei gradually wanted to lead the topic in this direction. Because he didn't know Margaret well, he couldn't use his intuition to talk about things. He hadn't identified it up close, and Margaret wouldn't believe it if it was a fake, so he pretended to want to see it for this reason to get a chance to get a closer look.
Margaret didn't expect that Yu Fei's insistence on letting her complete the transaction on the spot was just to take a closer look, she couldn't help but be angry and funny, she really didn't know what to say about him. It's childish.
At this time, Sosby's staff brought over the Yongle blue and white folded branch flower and fruit pattern plum vase and the exquisite packaging box. As long as the acceptance is passed, it can be packed into the box.
"Wait. Let me see first. Yu Fei hurriedly said.
The staff gave him a strange look and turned to Margaret for advice.
Margaret nodded slightly. Seeing Yu Fei's eagerness, she thought that Yu Fei was really obsessed with Yongxuan Qinghua.
Yu Fei put on gloves and carefully played with the huge plum bottle in his hand, with an intoxicated expression on his face.
If you put aside personal emotions, in terms of imitation skills alone, this Yongle blue and white folded branch flower fruit pattern big plum vase is definitely the best of the best! Just now, Yu Fei carefully looked at the plum bottle with the naked eye, just to find a flaw that can be found without using chaotic qi and without using intuition!
But soon, he gave up, because the craftsmanship of this plum vase was very high, and it was basically exactly the same as the real thing, so Yu Fei didn't find anything wrong at all.
What to do? Is that all? Of course not!
Yu Fei took a deep breath, turned to Margaret, and said with a serious expression: "Miss Margaret, with all due respect, this Yongle blue and white should be a fake!" ”
"Fakes? OH,NO! It's impossible! Margaret had an incredulous look on her face.
She was a regular visitor to Sotheby, but because of her status, she could only wear a veil every time she came, but even so, the auctioneer William recognized him at a glance. With her identity, how could Sosby fool her with a fake?
If William knew that this Yongle blue and white folded branch flower and fruit pattern plum vase was a fake, then he would definitely not have photographed it for Margaret. Because this matter is very secretive, if it is revealed, it will be a very big scandal. Because the secrecy is so well done, only a few people in the Sotheby auction house know about it. Of course, William is not included among these people, because William is an auctioneer, and even if he is sophisticated, he may not reveal any clues and arouse suspicion during the auction.
Because of this, this fake Yongle blue and white flower was actually in Margaret's hands. If Sosby's high-level officials know the truth, I'm afraid they will regret it!
"In fact, I don't believe Sotheby would auction a fake! But that's what it is, it's irrefutable. Yu Fei said.
"So, do you have any evidence?" Margaret still couldn't believe it was true.
"Margaret, I know this fact is a little hard for you to accept, but believe me, it's all true. I am a decent antique appraiser and a collector of porcelain, and I have a very deep understanding and ability to identify porcelain. Yu Fei boasted shamelessly.
"This gentleman, please pay attention to your words and deeds, if you can't produce evidence for this, we will sue you for slander!" Sosby's staff said angrily.
"Don't worry, it can't be fake, and it can't be fake." Of course, Yu Fei will not entangle with Sosby's staff.
He continued to turn to Margaret and said, "On the surface, this Yongle blue vase is no different from the real thing, whether it is the shape or the style, it is completely the same. ”
"In that case, why does the gentleman think that this is a fake?" Sosby's staff asked nonchalantly.
Margaret also showed a puzzled expression, since this blue and white vase is very well imitated in detail, how did Yu Fei know the Tao?
Yu Fei had already thought of the answer to this question just now.
He snorted coldly, revealing a confident smile, and his determined appearance made Sotheby's staff lose confidence. He was not an insider of Yongle Qinghua's fraud, but Yu Fei's expression alone shook him.
Could it be that this Yongle blue and white is really a fake? Impossible, absolutely impossible! It must be a young man bluffing! Looking at his young age, how can he distinguish the truth from the fake? I think it's just a means of grandstanding. But the audience is naturally the beauty in front of them. It's really a toad that wants to eat swan meat!
"Sir, your remarks have damaged the reputation of our Sotheby auction house, and I ask you to apologize to us!" The staff was bold and puffed up their chests to Yu Fei and said.
Yu Fei smiled slightly, and said confidently: "You don't have to worry about this, I have already found the reason." ”
"What?" This time it was not only Sotheby's staff, but even Margaret's were surprised.
Surprised by the noise behind, many people turned their heads to look at the three people. I don't know what's going on here.
Yu Fei cleared his throat and said, "Everyone, please wait. I'm sure that this Yongle blue and white folded branch flower and fruit pattern plum vase is a fake! ”
Suddenly, the entire auction hall was fried. (To be continued......)
