Chapter 972: Go to him to settle accounts
"Of course, it is not cost-effective to invite a master painting master, but don't forget, now that technology is developed, you can use a computer to print the pattern of the real thing, and you can achieve the effect of the real thing."
Chu Chen said: "Just like the style of porcelain, in the past, it was imitated by good calligraphers, no matter how high the level is, it is difficult to achieve the form and spirit, and many imitations are exposed in the style." Now that there are computers, counterfeiters have made timely use of this modern technological means, and they have adopted the method of computer writing, not to mention 100 percent, but they can still make it look like and look like gods. ”
After listening to Chu Chen's explanation, Li Guiheng's depression and grievances needless to say, he frowned tightly, thought about it and still didn't give up, and said: "If this plate is made in recent years, then how can it get rid of its thief light?" ”
Chu Chen said: "This matter is simpler......
In the past, there were three main ways for imitators to remove the thief light from porcelain: "grinding", "discing", and "punching". However, these three methods are either time-consuming and laborious, or they are not effective.
Today's imitators are much more sophisticated than in the past, and they use more scientific methods to remove the thief light from porcelain.
The first option is to use a high-speed spray gun to spray the fine sand evenly on the glaze, so that even if you look with a magnifying glass, you can't see the flaws. The second method is to add appropriate zinc oxide to the glaze when glazing, and the porcelain that has just been baked will not have a floating light, which has deceived many people at the beginning.
In addition, there is another way, using advanced laser teeth cleaning equipment to process porcelain with a small machine, so that the imitation product that even experts may be eye-catching.
There are many more ways to do this. Some of them, not to mention experienced experts, are just some instruments that can't tell the real or fake.
listened to Chu Chen's explanation. Qi Baofu sighed: "Now technology and information are much more advanced than before, and a lot of knowledge and experience in appraising antiques can also be seen on the Internet. But with the advancement of science and technology, there are more and more counterfeiting methods, which is really impossible to prevent! ”
Everyone agreed with Qi Baofu's words, especially Chu Chen, who had been in the antique industry for the longest time among the four and had been an antique vendor for several years, was even more deeply touched by this.
Like when he first entered the industry, although there are fakes, they are a bit of a small thing compared to now. And in just a few years, there are many more ways to make fakes.
For example, the flint red used to be the basis for the identification of Yuan and Ming porcelain, and the imitators in the past made flint red, or applied sauce glaze, or painted with color, in short, the method is shoddy, and it is easy to be recognized.
But now, ceramicists have carefully studied and assayed. The scientific conclusion that flint red is due to the excessive iron oxide in china clay. And the results of this research were immediately put to use by the imitators, who added iron to the porcelain clay and fired a realistic flint red, this time. Many people have been deceived.
Not to mention others, Chu Chen suffered in this regard, when he bought a Ming Dynasty porcelain made of the latest method of flint red. It also cost a lot, and the result was for Uncle Wu to see. He poured cold water on him.
Chu Chen said: "Therefore, everyone must often go to the antique market. Research the fakes on the market so you can reduce the chance of eye-catching. ”
Everyone nodded again and again, all of them saying that they would remember what Chu Chen said.
After a while, Li Guiheng spoke: "This, Mr. Chu, my colorful birthday astrolabe is definitely a modern imitation?" ”
"It should be......" Chu Chen introduced the characteristics of Kangxi colorful porcelain, which shows that this so-called "Kangxi" colorful birthday astrolabe is flawed.
"Hey!" Li Guiheng let out a long sigh and said with some dejection: "This time, my family will be nagging for a while." ”
Qi Baofu patted Li Guiheng on the shoulder and said: "Lao Li, things are already like this, you can eat a trench and grow wise, as for your family, anyway, it is not the first time you have been told in the past few years, and it will be over after a while." ”
Li Guiheng said with some indignation: "What you said is light, this is thousands of yuan, it is the first time I have slapped such a big eye, I don't know how to tell my family." ”
As mentioned earlier, Li Guiheng is just a salaryman, not to mention that he is not rich without Qi Baofu, and the family's finances are still in the hands of his wife, a few thousand yuan is nothing to Chu Chen and Qi Baofu, but for him, but the private money that has been hidden for a long time is gone all of a sudden, how can he not feel distressed?
It was precisely because of this that he had been reluctant to believe Chu Chen's judgment before.
Qi Baofu thought of something, and hurriedly said: "By the way, don't think about how to tell your wife, think about it, have you bought anything from the place where you still sell this thing?" ”
"Oops!" Li Guiheng was stunned when he heard this, hurriedly stood up, and ran into the inner room, and after a while, he walked back with an eager look on his face, and said, "Teacher Chu, I still have a few things in it, please help me take a look at these things first." ”
"Okay......" Chu Chen nodded.
Among the things that Li Guiheng brought over, there was a piece of porcelain, a jade pendant and an inkstone. Among them, the jade pendant and inkstone are genuine, and the porcelain is a modern imitation, which may also be bought by Li Guiheng according to the porcelain pieces.
Although the two things are genuine, if the porcelain is also valued as genuine, the value of the porcelain is basically the same as the value of the other two things, and Li Guiheng undoubtedly loses a lot.
Fortunately, the value of the things is not too high, the market price of that porcelain is only about 4,000 yuan, Li Guiheng will definitely not need so much if he buys it, so he doesn't lose much.
Of course, this is for Chu Chen, for Li Guiheng, a few thousand yuan is already a relatively large amount, when he listened to the appraisal results given by Chu Chen, it was really like crying without tears, and what made him feel extremely depressed was that what he took later was also two pieces of porcelain, and they were also compared with fake porcelain pieces, and the results were self-evident.
Together with the colorful birthday astrolabe just now, the market value of the four pieces of porcelain should be about 30,000, although Li Guiheng didn't spend so much money, but it added up to more than 15,000.
You know, now it's only 2002, and the average salary of workers in Beijing last year was only more than 18,000, in addition to the monthly living expenses, as well as Li Henggui's monthly medical expenses, this 15,000 is already the vast majority of Li Henggui's private money saved over the years, do you think he can not be heartbroken?
Some friends may want to ask, in this case, why did Li Guiheng still step into the antique industry? The reason is very simple, firstly, Li Guiheng really likes antiques, and secondly, the antique industry has always been full of all kinds of stories of picking up leaks.
In this case, it is reasonable for Li Guiheng to have the idea of picking up leaks and making a fortune, so he resolutely joined the army of "collectors" without much thought.
Looking at Li Guiheng who was sad, Qi Baofu, as a friend, didn't know how to persuade him.
It was Chu Chen who broke the solemn atmosphere of the scene and said, "Teacher Li, why don't I help you sift through the porcelain tiles in the box." ”
Li Guiheng opened his mouth, because of today's encounter, he just had the idea of never touching the antique industry in the future, but he felt very unwilling in his heart, and finally bit it and decided to get up from where he fell.
Seeing that Li Guiheng was still there in a daze, Qi Baofu said: "I said Lao Li, what are you thinking?" Isn't it just 10,000 dollars, will it crush you? ”
"Is I, Li Guiheng, so easy to defeat?"
Li Guiheng sneered, and then he said gratefully to Chu Chen: "Teacher Chu, then I'll trouble you." ”
"You're welcome, it's just a gesture." Chu Chen waved his hand and began to pick out the fakes mixed in the middle of the porcelain pieces.
The characteristics of the authenticity of the porcelain tiles are obvious, and the porcelain tiles sold to Li Guiheng are not fake and real high-end goods, so Chu Chen soon picked out all the fake porcelain tiles.
Looking at the pile of fake porcelain pieces on the ground, the anger in Li Guiheng's stomach rushed up, and he said angrily: "No, I really can't swallow this breath, MD, or a distant relative, actually lied to me like this, it's really not a thing!" ”
Although Qi Baofu is not ashamed of the seller's villainous behavior, he is not like Li Guiheng, who doesn't even know the rules of the antique shop, and said: "Lao Li, you dissipate your anger, even if you go to him, with the rules of the antique shop, can he return the money to you?" ”
Li Guiheng was immediately deflated when he heard this, but a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he suddenly thought of something, and said with a smile: "Yes, the other three things are my eyes, but this colorful birthday astrolabe, he swears to tell me that it is genuine, can he return the money to me?" ”
When Chu Chen and the others heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other, and Qi Baofu said in surprise: "Lao Li, you can't be mistaken, he knows that it is a fake, but he will tell you that it is genuine, is there something wrong with his brain?" ”
Li Guiheng said with a smile: "His brain must be fine, but at that time, I only had so many thousand yuan of private money, and I didn't want to use it to buy this porcelain, so I shirked it several times, and it was estimated that he was in a hurry, so he said this." ”
Qi Baofu said: "If he really said such a thing, then this plate will indeed be returned, but don't forget, it is not so easy to recover your money from this kind of person who likes crooked ways, in case he doesn't admit it then, what can you do if you have no evidence?" ”
Li Henggui smiled: "Who said I have no evidence?" ”
Qi Baofu asked in surprise when he heard this: "You can't record what you said at that time, right?" ”
Li Henggui smiled and said: "I don't like singing, I happened to be practicing recording when he came that day, and I forgot to turn off the tape recorder at that time, so I recorded that paragraph, with this evidence, I see what he can say!" (To be continued......)
