Chapter 572: A Thousand Waves Stirred Up with One Word
A word startled a thousand waves.
The people below who hadn't left were in an uproar at once.
Zhuge Lanteng's face sank instantly, and he touched Su Zhe with his elbow and said in a low voice: "Director Su, this is not a joke. ”
He thought that Su Zhe would exchange opinions with him after the appraisal, but he didn't expect him to directly announce that it was fake.
In this case, Zhuge Lanteng didn't know what to say. If it is contrary to Su Zhe's appraisal results, two situations will be formed.
If Su Zhe made a mistake in identification, he corrected it, which was a good thing for him, and if he thought about it, if Yu Pei was true or false, he said it would be true, and he couldn't hang it in front of so many people.
Su Zhe looked at Guo Shiguan, and smiled at the corner of his mouth: "President Zhuge , how dare I joke on this occasion." This jade pendant is indeed a fake, if you don't believe it, you can carefully identify it. ”
Zhuge Lanteng naturally didn't believe it, but Su Zhe's words caused an uproar, and he picked up a magnifying glass to re-identify.
He didn't have much contact with the antiques of the five dynasties and ten countries, and the last time Zhou Zhihui happened, he knew that the police had searched for a batch of cultural relics from that era from Baojingzhai and Jianzhenxing, but he didn't see it with his own eyes.
It's just that based on his experience, this jade pendant really doesn't look like a fake. Su Zhe's insistence that it was fake was not unreasonable, and for a while, Zhuge Lanteng didn't dare to say his result. In fact, when Su Zhe insisted that the jade pendant was a lie, everyone's attention was no longer on him.
Guo Shitong's face was very ugly, and he didn't even know that the jade pendant was temporarily used as an auction item. When the auctioneer said it, he didn't have time to stop it.
Guo Shiguan looked at Su Zhe and said in a deep voice: "Director Su, every time something is put up for auction, it has been appraised by several famous experts, how can you say that it is fake." ”
Su Zhe said: "President Guo, you don't have to worry, this is just my family's words. There are a lot of collectors here today, let them have an appraisal, maybe I don't have enough qualifications, and I can't be sure. ”
There is no need for Su Zhe to say that Guo Shiguan will let people come over for identification. It's just that at this time, he didn't know what Su Zhe was selling in the gourd, and then he looked at Gao Gang without any expression. The matter of the vase has not been solved yet, and if there is another such thing, the matter will be even more difficult to solve.
Regardless of whether Su Zhe came to make trouble on purpose or not, Guo Shitong knew in his heart that if he didn't make a clear identification, everything would be over.
Fifteen minutes later, Guo Shiguan asked, "Elder Qin, Elder Li, what are the results of your appraisal?"
"Really. It is indeed the jade pendant of five dynasties and ten countries. ”
Hearing this, Guo Shiguan breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Su Zhe and said, "Qin Lao and Li Lao are famous among collectors, and they have a certain understanding of antiques. If they verify that it's true, does that mean you don't have enough qualifications?"
Su Zhe said lightly: "I insist on my opinion, this jade pendant is fake." ”
The two collectors just now, as long as they are in this antique world, have a little understanding. Even they said it was true, but they really couldn't figure out why Su Zhe still insisted that it was fake. Originally, everyone had objections to him becoming a director at such a young age, but now that this matter has been encountered, how could media reporters miss digging up the news.
"Director Su, you insist that the jade pendant is fake, is there any basis?"
"Director Su, if Yu Pei is true in the end, then isn't your director worthy of his name?"
Su Zhe had a faint smile on his face, and many reporters rushed over at once, and all the microphones were put on, and he didn't know how to deal with it. He's always standing behind the camera, and it's a bit unaccustomed to suddenly facing so many cameras.
At this time, Su Zhe was particularly envious of those who were stars, and he really didn't understand how they practiced to be calm and comfortable in the face of hundreds or thousands of shots.
He can't do that kind of ability for the time being, so he can only catch the ducks into battle and face the reporter's questions with his hair stiff.
"Whether the jade pendant is true or false depends on my family's words, but since there is a dispute, then I must come up with evidence. ”
Su Zhe carefully picked up the jade pendant, pointed to one of the cameras and pointed to a place along the edge of the leaf and said, "Maybe you can't see clearly like this, you need to double the pattern." There is a black spot in it, like a blemish in the white jade. But if you use a magnifying glass or maybe more advanced technology, you will find that it's not a black dot, it's an Arabic numeral. ”
Chen Laber numbers?
As soon as these words came out, even Zhuge Lanteng became not calm.
How is this possible.
The history of the appearance of Arabic numerals in the country has an approximate inference. In the 13th and 14th centuries, it was not the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, where did the Arabic numerals come from.
Zhuge Lanteng motioned for Su Zhe to hand over the jade pendant, and he carefully identified it again. When he finished appraising, so did the other two collectors.
There was indeed a black dot that they hadn't noticed just now. After all, this appraisal is not before the auction, and there can be a particularly careful appraisal. In the face of many media, everyone is judging by experience.
If it's just a black dot, it means that the jade pendant is flawed. But the black dots are Arabic numerals, which is different.
Guo Shiguan's face became more and more ugly, and he also took the jade pendant and looked at it with a magnifying glass according to the place Su Zhe had just pointed out.
"If you enlarge the black dot of the jade pendant, you will see that it looks like a '3' number. Su Zhe continued, "I also thought it was true when I identified it just now, but when I saw the black dots on the edges, I was curious. It is said that the white wall is flawless, this piece of jade pendant is superior in terms of workmanship and shape, and even the moistness of the jade, how can there be black spots. ”
So I looked closer. Probably because I was younger, had better eyesight, and used advanced identification equipment, I discovered this. I thought it was true, and then I overturned it. ”
In order to prove that it was indeed an Arabic numeral with a "3", Su Zhe asked the photographer present to provide a video camera, connect it to a large screen, and then ask someone familiar with the computer to zoom in on the black dot.
An auction turned into an appraisal meeting, which was really unexpected by many people. But compared to the auction, everyone is more enthusiastic about the authenticity of the jade pendant.
The magnifying glass has a limited magnification, and the naked eye does not see very carefully. However, as soon as I took the computer, as the person who knew the computer skillfully enlarged the photo, although the more enlarged, the more confused the picture became, but the word "3" clearly came into everyone's eyes.
Seeing this situation, Guo Shi's tube surface was like ash.
"President Guo, there are fakes at the auction again, how do you explain this?"
In the journalist profession, they are very good at playing their professional level at this time. So many media came today to see this kind of scene. Now that they have seen the fakes as they wish, how could they possibly let this situation go.
Guo Shiguan said: "This, this is difficult for me to give you an answer for a while, I, I must investigate, this jade pendant is temporarily donated and auctioned by others, and you have to contact the donor."
"President Guo, last time at the auction, Store Manager Gao auctioned a vase back, and later found out that it was fake; now Store Manager Gao once again bid for the jade pendant at a price of seven million, and it is fake, are these two coincidental, or are they premeditated?"
Guo Shitong is usually very comfortable with the media, but today he has lost his sense of proportion. "What's the premeditation, as I just said, this matter needs to be investigated before an answer can be given. As everyone knows, there are only fifteen items to be auctioned in today's auction, and the jade pendant is not in the auction ranks."
"May I ask President Guo, last time the vase was fake, and today the jade pendant is fake, and it is rumored that there may be a counterfeiting gang behind you. Faced with this situation, do you have anything to explain. Also, since the jade pendant is temporary, will it be that you deliberately put it up for auction in the name of charity, I heard that last year there was a calligraphy auction that sold for a high price of 100 million, and it was rumored to be a fake"
"Nonsense, nothing at all. You said it was a fake, please show evidence!"
Guo Shitong's mood began to become irritable, and he knew that if he let reporters surround him at this time, he was afraid that it would become more and more black. Glancing at Su Zhe and Gao Gang, Guo Shitong left under the cover of the security guards. The reporter will not let it go like this, and some of them will continue to ask questions.
"Manager Gao, the things you photographed at Sofubi twice before and after are fakes, what do you think is going on?" The reporter who stayed at the scene began to interview Gao Gang.
"The situation is clear. The porcelain I bought last time had an accident, and this time the jade pendant was counterfeited again. As a well-known auction house, Sotheby's antiques that can be auctioned on the stage every time they go through layers of appraisal before they are put up. Even if this jade pendant was put down temporarily, if it was not authorized, how could it be taken out for auction?"
In other words, if it weren't for Guo Shiguan's authorization, the jade pendant would be placed at the next auction.
"Luckily, I took it this time. Because I suffered the loss last time, I only made an appraisal in person. If you take it back again, and then there is no evidence, won't you eat the dead cat again?"
After a pause, Gao Gang continued, "But this time it will be more Director Su, if it weren't for his good eyesight, he really wouldn't have found that the black dot was Arabic numerals." Antiques are ancient things, but the appraiser does not have to be associated with the word 'old'. Director Su has this level of appraisal at a young age, which is a great celebration in the antique industry. ”
Su Zhe said humbly: "I'm lucky, compared to Store Manager Gao, I have to continue to study." ”
Guo Shitong left, the jade pendant is fake, and the auction just now will definitely not count.
Su Zhe didn't want to be pestered by the media, so he left with Gao Gang and Zhuge Lanteng. After all, this is an auction, and maintaining order is left to the people in the auction house.
Walking outside, Su Zhe chuckled and said, "Store Manager Gao, you did a good job in the play just now, it seems that it is a loss not to be an actor." ”
Gao Gang laughed: "It's better to write your script well, plus your cooperation, otherwise I won't be able to act." ”
Zhuge Lanteng was stunned: "Acting?"
