Chapter 569: Treasure Appreciation Activity (6)
Seeing this situation, Lu Changshun hurriedly said to Chu Chen beside him: "Xiao Chu, can you help me take a look at it in a while, there are so many people, I really can't watch it in an afternoon!" ”
"Okay, no problem!"
Among the things that came to be identified today, porcelain is the most, so in addition to Chu Chen, Guokang is also responsible for it with another expert, plus Yu Renpeng also knows porcelain, even if Chu Chen helps Lu Changshun, the porcelain aspect is also busy, so Chu Chen agreed to Lu Changshun's request without thinking too much.
Seeing that Chu Chen agreed, Lu Changshun hurriedly expressed his gratitude, and then immediately discussed with the staff and asked the other party to help with the diversion.
Just like Chu Chen said earlier, the antique industry is always more fakes and less genuine, and this treasure appreciation activity is the same, basically only three or four of the ten antiques that need to be identified are genuine, and among the genuine products, they are all ordinary goods, and fine products and treasures are very rare.
Of course, it is not uncommon, just like the cricket jar in Chu Chen's hand now, it is a rare masterpiece.
Cricket cans, as the name suggests, are pots that specialize in raising and fighting crickets. The products of the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty are drum type, the cover is concave, there is a money-shaped pores, the cover is vertically written with a single line of blue and white paragraphs, and there are six characters at the bottom of the vessel with a double circle of years. In the Wanli period, there were round, square, plum blossom, melon edge, fan, octagonal and other forms, and there were still firing in the Qing Dynasty.
The cricket jar in front of me is the product of the official kiln of the Xuande period, and the belly of the jar is painted with a cluster of melon gourds, with two large knots and two small ones, and 4 melon gourds. The leaves and vines are covered and fruitful, showing a full of vitality. The gourd pattern is a commonly used auspicious pattern in the decoration of porcelain in the Ming Dynasty, in which the large one is a melon and the small one is a gourd. It is said that the melon is endless, which means the prosperity of the descendants.
The carcass of the utensils is thick and heavy. The glaze layer is thick, and it is blue in white. The blue and white are gorgeous and have obvious characteristics of Su Bo mud green, in addition, the flint red can be seen in the combination of the tire glaze, which can be said to show the characteristics of Xuande utensils.
According to the market trend, Chu Chen gave a price of 600,000 yuan, which made the treasure holder almost cry with joy, and everyone in the audience was even more emotional, looking at the treasure holder's eyes full of envy.
Chu Chen saw it quickly and accurately, and he could tell the reason no matter whether it was true or not. There were basically no people who questioned him like in the morning, and everyone who came to him for identification was convinced, so it was soon the turn of the treasure bearer who was shunted by Lu Changshun.
"Mr. Chu, this is a jade bracelet that I bought for 20,000 yuan when I traveled to Myanmar three years ago, I heard that the price of jadeite has begun to rise this year, please help me see how much it is worth now?"
The first to come to the appraisal was a middle-aged woman who looked to be in her early forties, and as she spoke, she took out the bracelet from the box in her hand. handed it to Chu Chen.
Chu Chen took the bracelet in his hand, was slightly stunned, looked at it slightly, and then said, "This lady." This bracelet of yours is not Burmese jadeite. ”
"What, how is this possible, I have a certificate. You're not going to see it! When the woman heard Chu Chen say this, she turned her face on the spot.
Chu Chen secretly smiled bitterly and shook his head. Could it be that there will be another storm like the one in the morning?
However, the reality obviously did not develop as Chu Chen thought.
"Don't worry, this eldest sister, since Teacher Chu said so. There must be a reason for it......"
"That's right! This certificate is also fake, you listen to what Teacher Chu said first, and then talk about it if you think it's wrong......"
“……”
For a while, many people in the audience spoke out to persuade them, and basically everyone was helping Chu Chen speak, seeing this, Lu Changshun also smiled and gave Chu Chen a thumbs up.
When the middle-aged woman heard that everyone was helping Chu Chen speak, her momentum immediately fell, and she said expressionlessly:
"Then tell me, why is my bracelet not Burmese jadeite?"
Chu Chen explained: "First of all, the material of this bracelet is indeed jadeite. ”
When everyone heard Chu Chen say this, they were all a little confused, why did they just say that it was not a Burmese jadeite, and it was said that it was a jade on the spot, isn't this a contradiction?
Chu Chen smiled: "You don't think that jadeite is only made in Myanmar, right?" ”
"You mean to say that this bracelet of mine is made of jadeite from somewhere else?" The middle-aged woman hurriedly asked.
"That's right! This is jadeite from Guatemala! Chu Chen nodded.
The jadeite mine in Guatemala is a jadeite deposit of Metagau discovered in 1952 near the village of Manzil in the province of El Progresu, and its jadeite is mainly composed of jadeite, diopside, and calcite pyroxene.
Guatemalan jadeite is said to have been very famous in the Maya civilization many years ago, and then disappeared with the mysterious disappearance of the Maya civilization until 1975, when a Mi couple, Jay and Lou Ridinger, rediscovered and developed in the country.
To say that there are many places where there is jadeite in this world, such as rice, island countries and other countries have jadeite production, but most of the jadeite mined in these countries is not very good, and there are very few really good quality, so there is a reason why Myanmar jadeite is unique.
"And how much will my bracelet be worth?" The middle-aged woman asked again.
"I'm sorry, but this bracelet isn't worth much!" Chu Chen shook his head and said.
"It's the same jadeite, how can it be that my bracelet isn't worth much?" The middle-aged woman asked incredulously.
"Because the texture is so bad!"
Chu Chen explained: "Your bracelet is made of Guatemalan gray-green jadeite, which is similar to Burmese oil-green jadeite in appearance, and its chemical composition is basically the same as jadeite, but because of the difference in its internal elements, the color is relatively gray, and the texture is relatively coarse, which is not as good as the oil-green jadeite in Myanmar at all." ”
"And because the infrared spectrum of Guatemalan jadeite is not the same as that of Burmese jadeite, it is not possible to issue a certificate in a formal institution in China."
The middle-aged woman was stunned, and then asked with some reluctance: "Is this bracelet of mine really worthless?" ”
At this time, Lu Changshun took out a pendant and put it next to the bracelet, and said, "Look at my bean green pendant, it's much better than your bracelet, right?" ”
The middle-aged woman took a closer look and found that Lu Changshun's pendant did look much better than her own bracelet.
Lu Changshun continued: "The market price of my pendant is only six hundred, how much do you think your bracelet can be worth?" ”
"Six hundred?" Hearing this price, the middle-aged woman was immediately dumbfounded.
Chu Chen said: "This pendant is indeed only six hundred, if you don't believe it, you can go to the major jade jewelry stores and ask." I don't think you've ever touched jadeite before, right? ”
The middle-aged woman came back to her senses and nodded: "Yes, I really haven't touched it, this bracelet was taken by the tour guide to buy us." ”
When it comes to the tour guide, she really hates itchy, and now she still doesn't understand, she must have been deceived by the tour guide, but it has been so long since the matter passed, she just wanted to find the other party to settle the account, which made her really want to cry without tears.
Chu Chen shook his head secretly, the behavior of tour guides harming tourists is endless, especially under the guise of bargains, not to mention buying expensive ones, some simply give fake goods, in addition to deceptive marketing, some stores even use intimidation methods, such as selling kitchen knives.
Chu Chen had heard one of his guests say something before, saying that once he went to a certain place for a tour, and not long after playing, the tour guide took them shopping, and then took them to a store, the shopkeeper said that these knives were military products, and the quality was very good, and then the shopkeeper deliberately used a knife to slash the iron pipe, so that many of the members of the group shuddered, and quickly bought knives and left.
Chu Chen heard several similar things, and when he went online, he saw many disputes caused by shopping. After seeing too much, Chu Chen made up his mind that if he went to travel, he would not join the group, and he would be able to solve the trouble, but the key thing was that such a thing was too uninteresting, which completely destroyed the atmosphere of tourism.
However, Chu Chen couldn't help much with this kind of thing, so he could only sympathize with the middle-aged woman in front of him, and said: "This lady, if you don't understand jadeite, I suggest that you buy less in the future, if you really want to buy, it's best to go to some larger jewelry stores, such as Teacher Lu's jade shop, but Tong Su is not bullied." ”
Lu Changshun smiled at Chu Chen, and Xie Lu thanked him for helping with advertising.
"Teacher Chu, I was really offended just now, I will remember your words." The middle-aged woman bowed to Chu Chen, and then left.
After the middle-aged woman left, Chu Chen looked at more than a dozen jade artifacts in a row, with his ability, of course, it was impossible for any jade artifact to be wrong, which also made Lu Changshun next to him even more impressed, and at the same time, Lu Changshun also felt bitter in his heart.
The young man in his early twenties was actually more sophisticated than him, and compared with Chu Chen, he felt as if he was living on a dog's age.
"That's the difference between a genius and an ordinary person!"
Just as Chu Chen was appraising a jade wrench, Director Xu walked up to Chu Chen with an old woman who looked to be sixty years old, the old woman's hair was gray, her weather-beaten face was full of wrinkles left by the years, and the clothes on her body had been washed white, and she knew at a glance that her family's economic conditions were very bad.
At this time, the old woman was holding a Maitreya as if she was silent, and stood next to Director Xu very restrainedly.
Director Xu said to everyone: "This is Aunt Li, who has endured hardships and stood hard work all her life, and she has grown up with a pair of children by herself, and she is married and has children, but just as Aunt Li is about to enjoy Qingfu, last week, her grandson was diagnosed with leukemia......"
"What a pathetic! I donate a hundred! ”
"I'll donate a hundred too!"
'I donate ......'
Before Director Xu finished speaking, there was a lot of discussion on the scene, and many people expressed the idea of donating, Chu Chen estimated that the amount of donations was almost five or six thousand in this moment.
"Thank you! Thank you! Seeing this situation, Aunt Li burst into tears and thanked everyone one by one. (To be continued......)
