Chapter 70: There is no cave

"Mr. Lin has won the award, and he doesn't dare to be a talent or anything." Seeing that the time was ripe, Fang Yu decided to lead the topic to cultural relics: "Mr. Lin wants to see me so much, maybe it's just to say a few polite words, right?" ”

"Of course not." Lin Rong groaned slightly, and said slowly: "Actually, I asked Fang Xiaoyou to ask you for a favor, of course, I won't let you help in vain, I know that you may not be short of money, but I have a lot of good things here, so I won't let you suffer." ”

"Mr. Lin, let's make it clear what is going on first."

"That's right, I'm a businessman, mainly dealing in antique jade or something, you know, you have to rely on your eyesight to do this." Lin Rongji said as he blew the tea leaves floating in the teacup and took another sip.

"Yuan Hai has been with me for a long time, and I have never seen him respect anyone so much, so I want to ask you to help me inspect a batch of goods, and there will be heavy thanks after the deed."

"Inspection?" Fang Yu secretly glanced at Millie, and then asked, "What kind of goods are you inspecting?" ”

"I want to ask first, in addition to jadeite, what kind of ancient relics appreciation is Fang Xiaoyou good at?"

"They are all involved, but if you want to say that you are the best at it, it should be bronze, including gold, silver and iron."

"That's very good, Fang Xiaoyou, please come with me, I'll show you something."

Under the leadership of Lin Rongji, Fang Yu and Millie followed him to a warehouse, and after opening the door closed by iron locks, hundreds of bronze vessels of different shapes were scattered in hundreds of square meters of workshop.

"Fang Xiaoyou, Yuan Hai told me about your skills, but I haven't seen it with my own eyes after all, so before we cooperate, I hope you can show it."

Lin Rong pointed to the bronzes in this warehouse and said: "These are the things that my subordinates have from all over the country, and my subordinates often have eyes to wander, so there are genuine and imitations in this batch of things, so please Fang Xiaoyou casually show me them, how about it?" ”

This Lin Rongji is obviously a cautious guy, although he is very polite, but he still hasn't forgotten to verify it with his own eyes before talking about cooperation again.

If it was another type of antique, Fang Yu might have to weigh his own level, but for these bronzes, he didn't have the slightest psychological pressure.

"No problem." Fang Yu replied very simply, and then walked directly into the warehouse, starting with the nearest bronze horse to him.

For antique connoisseurs, judging the authenticity of bronzes can be considered from five aspects, one is to look at the casting process, the second is to look at the type, the third is to look at the inscription, the fourth is to look at the ornamentation, and the fifth is to look at the material.

However, Fang Yu's opinion was different from that of most experts, and he saw him holding the bronze horse, squinting his eyes slightly, and sticking his palm to it, as if some qigong masters were exercising.

After more than ten seconds, he put the bronze horse on the ground and said, "This thing is a modern imitation, very exquisitely made, but it is not worth much. ”

Hearing his words, Lin Rongji's brows furrowed, of course he knew that what Fang Yu said was correct, but the key was that Fang Yu's method of judging the bronze was simply unheard of for him.

This bronze horse was imitated very realistically, Lin Rong sent himself to look at it for ten minutes at the time, and then he dared to say that it was a fake, and Fang Yu only took less than half a minute in total, this speed was simply inhuman.

If it weren't for the fact that he had just temporarily decided to test Fang Yu, and he was also accompanied to watch the whole process, Lin Rongji would have wondered if his subordinates were traitors and leaked the news in advance.

After looking at the bronze horse, Fang Yu walked towards the second bronze again, which was a bronze wine lord with a layer of mottled patina on the surface, which looked very vicissitudes.

He still used the way just now, put down the wine jue after sensing it for more than ten seconds, and said: "The wine jue is a ritual used by the nobles of the Shang and Zhou dynasties to drink alcohol, and there are many imitations in later generations, this wine jue should be imitated in the Ming Dynasty, which is also rare." ”

These words are quite professional, in fact, he memorized them in the book, and what really made him make a judgment was the induction of metal atoms in it.

Then came the third piece, the fourth piece, Fang Yu just looked at it one by one, giving his judgment at an average speed of thirty seconds.

And Lin Rongji just followed him, although he didn't speak, the surprise in his eyes was getting deeper and deeper.

After the things here were taken back by his subordinates, he personally went through a detailed inspection, and even found someone to test the half-life of C14, which thing is genuine and which is fake, he knows very well in his heart.

And the judgment Fang Yu made just now was actually right in every single one, and there was not the slightest mistake, which was simply a bit appalling.

"Huh." Fang Yu suddenly snorted lightly: "This thing is a bit strange." ”

His words immediately attracted Lin Rongji's attention: "What's wrong?" ”

"I'm a little unsure of this bronze round-bellied three-legged tripod from the Han Dynasty, can Mr. Lin teach me?" Fang Yu's expression was a hint of confusion.

Hearing his words, Lin Rongji not only did not feel regret in his heart, but had a hint of joy, it turned out that this young man was not omnipotent.

"This bronze round-bellied three-legged tripod was collected by one of my subordinates from the countryside last month, both in terms of craftsmanship and shape, it is very in line with the characteristics of that era, and the inscriptions and ornaments on it show that it may be a royal item, so we thought we had picked up a big leak at that time."

"It's a pity that we later used C14 to test its half-life, and found that the age of the material was less than the Han Dynasty, only to the Qing Dynasty, so it should be a high-imitation work in the Qing Dynasty, and it was deliberately made old."

Speaking of this, Lin Rongji sighed: "Although it is an old object, after all, it has not reached that era, after all, our vision was not accurate enough at that time, and the price of this thing was quite high at that time, so it may have to pay a little loss." ”

Fang Yu didn't speak, listened to him quietly, and then shook his head: "Mr. Lin, you misunderstood what I meant, I know that this bronze round-bellied three-legged tripod is artificially old, I just think that the thickness of this tripod belly is a little too big, which is not quite in line with common sense." ”

"Huh?" Lin Rongji's eyebrows jumped rarely: "What do you mean?" ”

"I think there's something inside of this thing."

"Are you sure?"

"Sure." Fang Yu nodded, when he was sensing just now, he clearly felt that there was an empty piece in this tripod belly, and then there were metal atoms in it that were completely different from the tripod belly.

"But ......," he said, "If you want to see the secret in the belly of this tripod, I'm afraid you will have to destroy this tripod, although this tripod is not from the Han Dynasty, but it is also an old object, and it is still worth some money." ”

"I can still afford to lose this money." Lin Rongji smiled disappreciatively, and said to Wu Yuanhai behind him: "What are you doing in a daze?" Find someone to open this belly, be careful. ”

"Yes!" Wu Yuanhai took a few of his subordinates and immediately carried Ding out.
