In the face of these endless counterfeiting methods, sometimes Chu Chen also sighed that between the antiquities appraiser and the forger, it is really a bit like the Tao is one foot high, and the magic is one foot high.

Wu Ke took a few sips of tea, suppressed his nausea, glanced at Chu Chen, and said, "I said, since you know that Lu Dao is a fake, why do you still buy it?" ”

Chu Chen explained: "I also did this to fool him, otherwise how could he sell things to me at such a low price?" ”

Hearing this, Wu Ke hurriedly asked, "Then how much are these things worth?" ”

"At least more than 10 million, but bronzes like this, especially this Liuding, are not allowed to be bought and sold in China, and in addition to Liuding, the other six, if I guess correctly, should be smuggled out of the country after the tomb robbers dug it up."

Seeing Chu Chen's unhappy look, Wu Ke comforted him and said: "It's not worth being angry for someone like that, besides, such a thing can only be managed by the country, even if we have the heart to manage it, we don't have that much ability, you have done your best to buy things back to China like this." And you've picked up a big leak, what's not to be happy about? ”

Chu Chen patted Wu Ke's hand and said, "Well, let's not talk about it, but when it comes to picking up leaks, it's very likely that you picked up a big leak today!" ”

Wu Ke was a little confused when he heard Chu Chen say this, and asked strangely, "What does it mean that it is possible to pick up a big leak?" ”

"That is, you have to confirm whether you have picked up a big leak." Speaking of this, Chu Chen smiled and took out the box containing the colorful necklace from his bag.

Wu Ke saw Chu Chen's movements. Immediately understood what was going on, and she stammered, "You don't mean that this necklace I bought will be real, right?!" ”

"It's really not true, I have to read it before I know it, and now I can only say that there is a lot of hope." Chu Chen said with a smile.

Wu Ke really didn't believe her ears, she opened her mouth, she really didn't know what to say, she could only wait nervously and expectantly for the appraisal results given by Chu Chen.

Chu Chen used a magnifying glass to observe the five diamonds on the necklace little by little, and couldn't help but show an expression of admiration when he reached the end.

The price of a diamond is not determined by weight or color alone. The quality of diamonds. The universal international standard is the well-known 4Cs for diamonds.

The so-called "4C" is the abbreviation of four English words starting with C, which refers to the carat weight, clarity, colour and cut of diamonds.

Like this diamond in the necklace, the weight is not to mention, the clarity is the highest level of the diamond's FL grade. this level. Refers to a diamond that is flawless inside and out under 10x magnification. Except for clarity. For example, the color is extremely white D grade, and the cut has reached the most brilliant 3EX grade.

In addition to the weight, so to speak. This diamond is completely comparable to the Star of Africa.

The other four colored diamonds, in terms of quality and cut, are also top-notch, don't look at these colored diamonds are small, but colored diamonds are relatively rare, such as pink diamonds The annual production of colorless diamonds is only one millionth, and the large ones are even rarer.

Therefore, although these colored diamonds are only a dozen carats, their value is not much inferior to that of the diamond in the middle.

After Chu Chen carefully observed the five diamonds, he brought the necklace directly to Wu Ke's neck, with the support of this colorful necklace, Wu Kemei was like an elf princess, which made Chu Chen can't help but admire: "Looking back and smiling, the six palaces have no color!" ”

"Don't recite poems, you can tell me if the diamonds on this necklace are natural diamonds!" Wu Ke asked anxiously.

Chu Chen nodded with a smile, seeing this, Wu Ke was immediately dumbfounded, and after half a sound, she still asked with a look of disbelief: "Achen, are you sure that the diamonds on this necklace are really real?" ”

"Of course it's true, and it's top notch in terms of quality and cut." Chu Chen replied with certainty.

Wu Ke got an affirmative answer, so he said with a dull face: "This is impossible, diamonds are not antiques, how can someone really sell them as fakes?" ”

Chu Chen smiled and said, "It's very simple, because man-made diamonds are very similar to natural diamonds, and ordinary people can rarely tell the difference with the naked eye." ”

Wu Ke carefully lifted the diamonds on the necklace, except that he felt that the diamonds were more gorgeous, and he really didn't find any difference from those man-made diamonds just now.

"Really, I just think it's like the diamonds are more gorgeous, and I really don't see any difference from those fakes just now."

"It's right to think it's gorgeous, but if it's not gorgeous, it's not a natural diamond."

Chu Chen explained: "If it is a fake diamond, then from the perspective of reflectivity, its reflection is weak, the light is dark, that is, the flash is not strong, therefore, the fake diamond is definitely not as gorgeous as the real diamond." Like the top surface of a real diamond, the luminosity is highly reflective, especially in strong light or sunlight, it can be reflected in a colorful and brilliant way. ”

Hearing this, Wu Ke immediately walked to the window and put the diamond in the sun, and the dazzling color in an instant made her face full of obsession.

"Is there any other difference?" After a while, Wu Ke turned around and asked.

"Then there must be, we can use a 10x magnifying glass to observe, natural diamonds are not only polished and smooth, but also sharp edges, while fake diamonds are round and easy to grind on the edges and corners."

Chu Chen continued: "In addition, the hardness of diamonds is ten, and the hardness of fake diamonds is generally not so high. If you scratch the real diamond with a fake diamond, you can't scratch it, and if you scratch it with a real diamond, you can't scratch it. Do you think we should buy a real diamond and try it? ”

Wu Ke shook his head again and again: "I don't want it!" Even if it's not a real diamond, I love this necklace, what if it breaks? Yes! I'm not saying you have bad eyesight, I mean to say that instead of buying real diamonds, it's better to go for a scientific appraisal and save more money! ”

Chu Chen nodded and said: "This is indeed true, although my eyesight is good, but I am indeed not too proficient in the identification of diamonds, it is better to do a scientific appraisal!" ”

"Forget it, I believe in you!" Wu Ke hugged Chu Chen's arm and said, "Besides, the jewelry worth hundreds of millions of dollars will be appraised by those who don't know it, so I won't rest assured!" Besides, I won't sell this necklace, so it doesn't matter if I have an appraisal certificate or not. ”

"Okay! Listen to you! Chu Chen also agreed with what Wu Ke said, since the thing was true, even if there was no appraisal certificate, what did it matter. If the juniors really get to the point of selling this necklace in the future, let them worry about the appraisal certificate!

After going to the bank to handle the safe deposit box business, the two returned to the market.

It was half past nine o'clock, and there were a lot more people in the bazaar, so to speak, and it was quite a bit of a domestic bazaar, except that what was sold was exchanged for more valuable goods.

When the two passed by the stall that sold them necklaces, Wu Ke went up and rummaged through them again, and it seemed that he wanted to see if there was anything that could be missed, of course, the result must not be unexpected.

Hurriedly walking past the stall that had been visited just now, the two came to a small stall of stationery supplies, the stall owner was a blonde young foreigner, imagining the situation when the stall owner was writing with a brush, Chu Chen always felt a faint sense of disobedience.

Wu Ke pointed to something like a leaf and asked, "Hey, Achen, what is this, it's so cute!" ”

What the two did not expect was that the stall owner actually knew Chinese, and he spoke Chinese quite fluently, and it sounded with a Beijing accent.

It is called a pen, also known as a pen inkstone, which is used to check the intensity of ink or straighten out the objects of the pen, and is often made into the shape of a sheet of leaves. Miss, you point to this pen is also called Xiangsheng porcelain, is your country Qianlong Dynasty period created, generally to flowers and fruits, insects, small animals as the production of the theme, its size and the real thing is similar, such Xiangsheng porcelain for the royal family, dignitaries and other furnishings to enjoy. ”

Chu Chen smiled and said, "Boss, you have sold antiques in the capital Panjiayuan!" ”

“NONONO！” The stall owner waved his hand and said, "I used to open an antique shop on the side of Hongqiao, if it weren't for my father's death, that antique shop would still be open now!" ”

Chu Chen was a little surprised when he heard this, originally he was just joking, but he didn't expect the stall owner to really open an antique shop in the capital, which was more inconsistent than the stall owner writing with a brush.

Not to mention that Chu Chen felt strange, even Wu Ke showed a surprised expression.

The stall owner was not surprised to see the expressions of the two, and explained with a smile: "I have loved the history of your country since I was a child, and then I had the opportunity to come into contact with antiques, and I liked it very much, so I opened an antique shop." At first, many people were like you, and thought it was incredible for foreigners to open antique shops in China. ”

"Actually, I think I'm just different from you, I'm an authentic Beijing person in my bones, and I live in the capital for three or four months every year. By the way, listening to the two accents seems to be from Beijing, since they are fellow countrymen, I will give you a discount for what you like in a while! ”

"That's really Xie Lu Xie Boss!" Chu Chen smiled and thanked him on the surface, but he muttered a little in his heart, how can this stall owner's words be the same as the one just now, it seems that he has practiced with a domestic antique dealer for a period of time!

After Chu Chen thanked him, he picked up the leaf-shaped pen he just said.

This pen is shaped like an autumn leaf, secretly engraved with leaf veins, the leaf edge is rolled into a shallow wall, the whole body is powdered with green glaze, and the dark brown beetle is decorated in a corner, the shape is realistic and lovely, and it is quite interesting. In addition, there is a blue and white year book at the bottom petiole, which is the seal book of the "Qianlong year".

After careful observation, Chu Chen determined that this pen was indeed a genuine product from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, so he asked: "Boss, how can this thing be sold ......" (to be continued......
