Chapter 195: Rhetorical Questions from Boss Ming (2-in-1 Chapter)
The shape of the device is exactly the same.
I don't think it's strange that this is flamboyant, even if it's fake, it won't show flaws in such a basic matter.
Ornamentation, look closely there are subtle differences:
The angles of the branches are not exactly the same;
The moon bottle in the collection, a budding bud on a branch of a certain tree, seems to be missing a leaf.
Considering that Zhang Yang is observing from the screen of his mobile phone and does not see it carefully, if the two things are placed together offline, these differences may be even greater.
However, this is not sufficient as a basis for identification, because there is no obvious difference in the painter of the ornamentation.
Zhang Yang smacked his lips, and it was really a difficult technical job to identify it with the naked eye.
He resisted the urge to look at the information of the item and continued to observe the hair color of the blue and white.
It is said that when you look at the blue and white porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty and before Xuande of the Ming Dynasty, the most important thing is to look at the color of Su Ma Liqing on it.
This pigment has a strong ability to penetrate, and when you paint, the brush is a little heavier, and when you burn it, it will turn black.
And because the ore resources for the production of Su Ma Li green material have long been depleted, it is difficult to imitate modern imitations.
Chen Yanguang's moon-hugging vase, the leaf veins, branches, and even the protrusions on the lychee husk of the "folded branch fruit pattern" have obvious black.
Which one is in the museum's collection?
Zhang Yang enlarged and enlarged the live broadcast again, and looked at it carefully.
"What's the situation, almost exactly the same black?"
"There are no traces of dyeing, after one stroke, it has not been bolded, and it is pure and natural black."
"Really a sister piece?"
Zhang Yang hurriedly looked at the item information.
The production time is 1420 and 2020.
There was a false alarm, and the one in the museum was indeed a fake.
According to the degree of imitation, it is more accurate to call it [replica].
"The ghost inside the British Museum has exchanged the replica-level imitation for the real thing."
"And then swaggering out to sell?"
Zhang Yang felt a bit absurd at first, but after thinking about it, if it weren't for Chen Yanguang connecting himself, the feasibility of this matter was actually very high.
How did the British want to get the trading scene, and someone would even be the anchor of Mai Jianbao?
And so many people know?
"Brother Guang, are you still in London?"
Zhang Yang asked Chen Yanguang on the other side of the video.
If you don't leave, you risk being arrested!
"It's been a yo-yo for a long time, and we're now, in Istanbul."
"I remember you were a Liverpool fan?" Chen Yanguang still has the leisure to joke.
"You mean to say the Istanbul miracle? It's really unfamiliar. Zhang Yang shook his head: "Don't talk about football there, you better think about it first, what are you going to do with the things in your hand!" β
"Speaking of which, that ghost guy told me that there is a big business......
"Wait." Zhang Yang interrupted Chen Yanguang: "I have an outsider here. β
After speaking, he looked at Xu Can.
"Are outsiders talking about me?" Reporter Xu pointed at himself in disbelief.
Didn't you just say that you were your own person?
"Uh-huh." Zhang Yang nodded: "You go out and rest first." β
Xu Can showed an expression of internal injury and walked out of the conference room depressed.
"Who is this woman?" Chen Yanguang gossiped curiously.
"Xu Jie's cousin ......"
"That's my own person!"
ββ¦β¦ He is also a reporter for Linhai Daily. β
"Is the door closed? Watch out for her eavesdropping! β
"It's okay, you say, what did the Englishman say?"
"Hey, hey." Chen Yanguang smiled evilly, and took out a chicken bowl cup from the box beside him.
The so-called chicken bowl cup, specially pointed out that in the small wine cup of Chenghua Doucai, the imperial supplies with chicken patterns are painted.
There are only 19 genuine products in total, and each piece is worth more than 100 million.
What Chen Yanguang was holding in his hand was, of course, an imitation.
"Isn't this a product of your group?" Zhang Yang asked.
He remembered that in the list of handicrafts that Chen Yanguang and his wife went overseas to sell this time, there was a chicken bowl cup.
This kind of small wine glass is exquisitely shaped, and the rooster pattern is decorated with the beauty of Chinese painting, and a B-grade imitation can be sold for one or two hundred pounds overseas.
Like Chen Yanguang's hand, it can be sold for dozens of pounds!
"Yes, but it's so well done that you can tell at a glance that it's fake."
"People don't just want to sell my stuff. He inquired and said, I have the ability to make imitations here, and I want to cooperate with me......"
"Fake for real?" Zhang Yang boldly guessed.
"Eh, you're ...... Don't let me pretend. β
Chen Yanguang shook his head with a smile, and there was excitement on his face that could not be concealed.
It's really like Zhang Yang guessed.
The British guy is addicted to playing tanuki for the prince, and he still wants to come.
"Don't worry, we're just selling him an artifact and then buying an antique from an antique shop."
"Two independent, legitimate transactions. Legal risks are completely avoided. Chen Yanguang added.
"That's a real cow." Zhang Yang praised sincerely.
While the people of Lao Jiumen were still working hard in the fields, Chen Yanguang had already set his sights on the international cultural relics market.
What is the meaning of violating the domestic "Cultural Relics Protection Law", if you want to do it, you will be a world-famous cultural relics thief!
But it's not as easy as he says.
Is it so easy to make a fake imitation?
"It's actually very simple, do you know where that moon bottle came from?"
Chen Yanguang is talking about the replica in the museum.
"Scenic Town?" Zhang Yang guessed.
"It's boring, you guess so, what's the fun of me selling guanzi?"
Chen Yanguang simply said that he had already obtained the contact information of the team that specialized in making [Yongxuan blue and white porcelain high imitations].
As long as sufficient funds are provided, it should not be difficult to develop Chenghua Doucai.
Hearing him say this, Zhang Yang was relieved.
From the study of Yongxuan blue and white transformation to Chenghua Doucai, it is less than five years and more than ten years.
After all this time, let's talk about it later.
Let's take a look at the blue and white Ruyi moon bottle first, that is a national treasure that has already arrived!
"Do you know, Brother Guang, the ceramics hall of the Hailin Museum needs a piece of Yongle blue and white to be the treasure of the town hall." Publicize the old tricks.
Donate, you can donate.
Presumably, Wang Guosheng will also agree and bear part of the cost of buying a moon bottle.
You may even be able to apply for a grant from the Cultural Heritage Bureau.
"Brother Yang, are you crazy?"
Chen Yanguang told the dedicated Curator Zhang that there was a risk that the thing would be recovered as stolen goods.
Once you show up in public, be prepared to get into trouble.
Chen Yanguang deliberately found an antique store with an intermediary and opened a receipt of 8 million pounds, just to let the British Museum compensate according to the price when it was recovered.
8 million pounds, equivalent to 72 million domestically.
And he actually only paid the British 500,000 pounds.
Chen Yanguang is doing a very new kind of business.
With such a big profit, it is not easy for Zhang Yang to open this mouth.
β¦β¦
It wasn't until the morning of the third day that things took a turn for the worse.
At 6 p.m. local time, the British Museum issued an official statement:
[According to the expert appraisal, in the No. 33 exhibition hall (Huaxia Pavilion) of the museum, the Ming Yongle blue and white moon vase on display is genuine;
The suspected outflow of cultural relics on the market is actually a custom-made replica.
The whole thing is a temporary worker in the museum, using the old label of the real product with the replica to deceive people.
The employee involved has been dismissed. γ
The domestic media and experts quickly followed up and reported after receiving the funds from the other side of the ocean.
What is a replica of a museum artifact? Insightsγ
"The British Museum's security measures are perfect, and the security technology of liveness detection is far ahead"
"The rich second generation buys fakes at a high price, good news: there is no crime"
"Suspected party Chen Moumou speaks: The British don't talk about martial arts"
Zhang Yang was also shocked.
The real thing has become a stand-in?
And a world-recognized fake?
"This group of BYD, even the pictures on the official website, have been updated to the pictures of the fakes."
"I suspect they just can't afford to pay those eight million pounds."
Chen Yanguang angrily told Zhang Yang that he was so angry in romantic Turkey that he couldn't even eat barbecue rice.
In fact, what he said is not unreasonable, the operation of the British Museum basically depends on funding, and it has been losing money.
The main use was also as a trophy warehouse for the empire on which the sun never set.
You really don't really want to pay for it.
"Actually, that's a good thing!"
After listening to the news of "official website picture update", Zhang Yang's thoughts suddenly opened.
As long as it is proved that Chen Yanguang's piece is genuine, can't you legally own this national treasure-level blue and white porcelain?
And the method of proof is very simple, just let his wife bring something and find an expert to identify it.
Zhang Yang himself is not very good, because he is now second only to Chen Yanguang to the extent of ridicule.
"Which expert is reliable?"
Chen Yanguang consulted Zhang Yang's opinion.
Zhang Yang thought about it, an expert may be blind, it is better to find a few more to watch together.
Where are there many experts who can still speak?
Yes, isn't Deputy Director Qiu organizing the identification of the Jade Pig Dragon, just so that he can take a ride.
"You can fly directly to Yangcheng, over there in Guangdong Province, I'll help you arrange it."
"Don't worry, when things are identified as national treasures, you will be sanctified."
Hanging up the phone, Zhang Yang began to prepare for the last live broadcast before the entrance ceremony.
But the thought of the comments under his latest video gives him a headache.
"Knock knock~" Someone knocked on the office door.
"Who?"
"Boss." Tang Qiyun pushed the door and walked in: "The second yuan wants to backstab you." β
"What's wrong with Xu Jie? Didn't he send his sister to the car? β
Today, Xu Can came to the company for an interview again, and wanted to ask Zhang Yang's opinion on the statement of the British Museum, but he was perfunctory and dismissed.
"I went to deliver it, but I followed them out and listened to them conspiring loudly in the stairwell, saying that they wanted to record how you, the big comic anchor, fell step by step." Tang Qiyun said to Zhang Yang angrily.
Since becoming a full-time employee, her sense of belonging to the studio has reached a new level.
"It's okay, it can't fall." Zhang Yang said with relief.
It's just a few days of resisting pressure, and when Chen Yanguang's things are appraised, everything will go back to the past.
β¦β¦
When Zhang Yang officially broadcast live, the pressure was indeed not small.
From time to time, the screen floats past things like:
γJokerγ
[The anchor's ID card can be a king if you make a copy]
[Can't tell the difference between the replica and the real thing? Treasure appreciation]
[The anchor might as well change his name to Punch the Eye]
This kind of barrage full of mockery.
There is also Lian Mai who took him to life, took the same imitation of the museum purchased online, and asked him if it was real.
"Not a little, twenty bucks."
"You bought it online for a hundred bucks? Look, even buying fakes was cut leeks. β
Zhang Yang was very calm, and there was no shortage of smiles on his face.
Most people in the live broadcast room still support him.
Some of his words supported him, and even made him wonder if someone had secretly spent money to buy a navy.
"Don't work all the way, brothers."
"I understand that some of you want to have fun, but it's not as easy as you think."
As soon as Zhang Yang's voice fell, he immediately received a new application for connecting the microphone.
Not convinced?
He clicked on the other party's account and examined the ingredients.
"Oh? Overseas IP holders? β
"Welcome, welcome."
After the video was connected, the sound of the monk chanting came from Baoyou's side.
Then, the camera shows a stone statue of Shakyamuni Buddha that is enshrined.
It seems to be in a temple.
"Master Zhang, do you see this Buddha head familiar?" Baoyou asked Zhang Yang.
Buddha head? It's obviously a Buddha statue, why do you say the head of the Buddha alone?
Zhang Yang looked at it suspiciously.
The open face and facial features of the Buddha's head have the characteristics of typical Ming Dynasty Buddha statues.
Other than that, there's nothing special about it.
"Baoyou, where is this temple, why is there a stone Buddha enshrined?"
"Hehe, the anchor is really a noble person."
Baoyou laughed lightly, and couldn't hear too much mood swing.
"Let me remind you, this thing was sold to me by a wanted criminal who stole the statue of Tang Caijingang."
Tang Cai, Wanted, Ming Dynasty Buddha ......
Zhang Yang reacted immediately:
"Are you Boss Ming?" (Thailand's Underworld in Chapter 110)
[I also remembered, this person seems to be the underworld]
[The wanted criminal is being killed by him]
[I watched that video, didn't I say that this Buddha head is fake? γ
"Hehe, looks like you remember me." Boss Ming exhaled with satisfaction: "Master Zhang, do you want to explain, why do you want to say that this Ming Dynasty Buddha head is fake?" β
"Isn't it fake?" Zhang Yang asked rhetorically.
This boss Ming came at a very bad time.
Zhang Yang has just been involved in the turmoil of the British Museum's replicas, and this person is now questioning him with this Buddha head that is "obviously genuine, but it was deliberately said to be a handicraft at the beginning".
Fortunately, it was a stolen cultural relic, and there was a reasonable motive for Zhang Yang to explain.
Is it true that the other party is encouraged to behave like this?
"Master Zhang, you're not authentic."
On the other side of the video, Boss Ming was not angry, and the camera turned and aimed at a middle-aged man.
Then, from the direction of the person who shot the video, a black pistol was stretched out and pressed against the skull of the strange middle-aged man.
"Teacher Zhang, let me introduce first, this is a domestic cultural relics identification expert, Mr. Wu Xingfei."
This surname Wu's name is very familiar to Zhang Yang.
The old man in the Yanjing literary play circle is the same as Che Lijun.
But isn't this man in Africa? How do I have a connecting flight to Thailand?
[Sarilang! γ
[Is it so rampant abroad now]
[Who is this expert, has he been kidnapped? γ
"Hello Mr. Wu." Zhang Yang smiled and said hello.
He was thinking to himself: Do you want to cut off the live broadcast?
Because what the other party is holding in his hand is a real Glock 17.
In case the wait goes viral, this live broadcast room will be blocked.
Boss Ming seemed to have insight into Zhang Yang's thoughts and told him:
"Don't worry, I won't shoot you during your live broadcast, just to show sincerity."
With that, he put the pistol back.
He said that sincerity is fine, but some people can't hold back.
Wu Xingfei sat on the ground with a pale face, and it was estimated that he also knew that this gang of underworld really dared to shoot.
"The thing is actually very simple, Mr. Wu said, this Buddha head is genuine."
"But Master Zhang, you said that this Buddha head is a handicraft."
"Personally, I am willing to believe what you say, Master Zhang, but those who lie have to swallow a bullet~"
Boss Ming said something creepy in a mocking tone.
"Master Zhang, I beg you......" Wu Xingfei said while kowtowing.
"Well, this thing is real." Zhang Yang spread his hands and said helplessly.
"So you're deliberately saying that the truth is false? What about your work ethic? Boss Ming questioned him.
"You buy this kind of freshly stolen artifact, and you're embarrassed to ask me? Neurotic, huh? Zhang Yang retorted unceremoniously.
[Good scolding]
[It's good to say, but I don't think Mr. Wu can stand it]
[Teacher, the expert on the other side is begging you not to say it]
"What happened to me buying stolen artifacts? I'll donate it directly after I bought it, can't I? β
Boss Ming's tone was very impulsive, and he even asked Zhang Yang repeatedly:
"Can't you?"
