Chapter 227: Dinosaur Egg
As the old saying goes: Cutting off people's financial means is like killing their parents. How many people's fortune has been affected by a farce in Shenyang?
I can't count them.
For example, when the fair was held in previous years, there was no re-appraisal of the collections in the private exhibition area, let alone any fidelity, which was simply screened by the staff of the collection center and then directly exhibited.
The organizer only acts as a "platform", where buyers and sellers communicate prices online, and if there is a dispute afterwards, the organizer can at most provide information about the other party, and the two parties will go to court on their own.
This year is different: not only must experts be organized to audition in advance, but also appraisal, and the organizer is required to make a guarantee, and issue certificates and invoices, and even promise that "if there is a fake, it will be returned" and "if it is sold, it must be investigated".
What do you say, can you not do this?
I'm not afraid of not knowing the goods, I'm afraid of comparing goods, what age is it now, the speed of information dissemination is measured in seconds, and he is naturally suitable for doing business, and he is not the only one who can smell business opportunities at the first time.
You don't need to go far, go downstairs to see, how many vendors and shops have openly put out the notice of "if there is a fake, it will be refunded", "if it is fake, it will pay three"?
You don't care if people can do what they say, and how many tricks and patching routines have been prepared for customers, at least there are gimmicks, and there are more means to attract customers, and the business is better than others.
When others look at it, this can't be done, we can't watch others eat meat, we can't even drink soup, right? Let's change too......
So what about the official?
You can't promise that you will be vague and ambiguous in an international exhibition, or even blatantly sell fakes...... It's a big joke.
OK, change it, change it, change it.
The problem is again, the business can play tricks, can play a gun, can rely on the mouth to fool, at most print more "experts" issued by the appraisal certificate, if someone really wants to come to the after-sales service, that is also after the matter, let's make money first.
But the official can't, if you say fidelity, you have to keep it, and if you say "fake one pays three", you have to fake one to pay three, otherwise it's more like a joke than a joke.
Correspondingly, it will also restrain and warn the market merchants where several major exhibition areas are located to standardize their operations and keep their promises. Far from it, at least during the exhibition period, if there is a dispute, there can be no "after" statement, it is absolutely as fast as it is handled, and it is done as soon as it is said: fakes must be returned, and counterfeits must be investigated!
Now it's okay: I'm just talking, but you're playing for real?
A lot of merchants really point to the various cultural fairs sponsored by the government to live, which belongs to the real "three years not open, open for three years" kind, such a get, but also make a fart fortune?
It's good if you don't pay......
What's more, the direction of the wind has obviously changed, this model will definitely form a routine, in the future, but the fair will be like this, maybe after a period of time, the relevant departments will usually require merchants to operate like this.
How did you live after that?
Li Ding'an had expected it a long time ago: he hated himself so much that he didn't know how many people wanted to put on his own sack. Knowing that he participated in the treasure appreciation activities of the exhibition, it will not be one or two who come to find faults.
So relatively speaking, this one is still relatively restrained, and at least he took out one thing for himself to see. Without meeting, he took out a piece of indescribable things and threw them in his face, and he didn't point to his nose and scold his mother as soon as he came up.
Thinking about it like this, his mind suddenly calmed down a lot, and Li Dingan gently pulled the stone on the table.
This thing is very round, and when you pull it gently, it begins to drip, and it turns relatively steadily, which shows that it is very symmetrical. Looking at the spots on it again, it looks like the lines on the pine flower eggshell, Li Ding'an suspects that this should also be an egg of something.
In fact, it is very simple to identify, and the system can measure it, but he doesn't want to test it so easily.
You can't just pick up a stone from the ditch and use it for yourself to identify, right?
The publicity effect of the exhibition is full, and it has become a joke......
He sighed and raised his head: "What's the boss's surname?" ”
"Surname Cheng!"
"Do you really want to be identified?"
"What if it weren't?"
"That's good...... However, you may have to spend more than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan in appraisal fees! ”
"What?"
He sat up straight in an instant, and pointed to the mold behind the appraisal area, "See: free appraisal, to you, it will be a fee, and it will be 200,000?" ”
After a pause, he squinted his eyes again: "Teacher Li, it can't be that you can't see it and deliberately embarrass people, right?" ”
"Not really! I'm sure I'll be able to identify it, and I don't charge for it...... The 200,000 I said is that you may have to spend so much later......"
Li Ding'an smiled very sincerely, touched the stone, and his voice was not hurried: "This is a dinosaur egg fossil, belonging to the late Cretaceous period, about 120 million years ago...... It should be from the United States, to be exact...... Well, in Colorado, USA, the time of excavation is probably around the eighties of the last century......"
I'll go...... Just talking well, you said to give the result?
Well...... No, what the hell do you say?
It's not much bigger than a pigeon's egg, you tell me, it's a fossil of a dinosaur egg?
To be honest, it has not been a day or two since this thing arrived in the hands of Boss Cheng, he has found someone to identify it more than once, and even sent it to a special fossil museum for him to see, all of which are egg fossils, but what kind of eggs they are have not been qualitated.
Some people say it's a bird egg, some say it's a fish egg, a snake egg, and some experts speculate that it might be a turtle egg, but it's the first time someone has said that this thing is a dinosaur egg?
Are dinosaur eggs so small?
And so quickly, the result is even more detailed: not only did it talk about something, but it also broke off the year and the land.
He instinctively became suspicious: "Teacher Li, it can't be you who made it up, right?" ”
"Look, I know that you won't believe it, so I can only suggest that you find another competent appraisal agency...... But the fees of such institutions are not low, such as the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the National Center, the Beijing Ancient Institute, etc., the identification fee starts at least 100,000 yuan, and it takes at least three or five days to get the results, and if it is expedited, it is fast, only one or two hours, but the price is definitely more expensive......"
Li Dingan leaned back gently: "But to tell me the truth, your egg can be sold for ten to two hundred thousand at most, and I have to remind you: fossil testing must be sampled, and it may even be drilled, this egg is so small, isn't it a waste to drill holes?" That's why I asked you, do you really want to identify? ”
The meaning is: I gave the conclusion anyway, believe it or not is your business. If you are suspicious, you have to be prepared to scrap more than 100,000 or 200,000 things, and you have to be mentally prepared to pay more than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan.
understood, Li Ding'an saw that he was not a good person, so he deliberately used him as a bridge.
Let's just say that this eyesight is really worthy of its name......
He paused, then narrowed his eyes again: "Teacher Li, what if the result is different from what you said?" ”
Li Dingan seemed to smile: "I bought that thing, 200,000 yuan, and the testing fee will also be paid by me!" ”
So sure?
Boss Cheng hesitated for a moment, after all, the shadow of the famous tree, Li Ding'an's record is there, who saw him walk by and miss his hand?
But to say that it is a little unwilling.
The main reason is that this thing is naturally formed, not man-made, to put it bluntly, it is just a stone, and there are no basic factors such as "material", "process", "ingredients" and so on, such as appearance or interior, and there is no way to infer it with the naked eye.
And Li Ding'an was good, so he pulled it with his hand, touched it again, and gave a conclusion in less than a minute before and after, and it was so detailed?
Crucially, this argument is unconvincing: a dinosaur egg smaller than an egg?
Speaking from the heart, Boss Cheng didn't believe it very much, and suspected that Li Dingan was bluffing him. And he was not convinced, otherwise he would not have taken this thing out, and seeing him try to measure himself like this, Boss Cheng's thoughts were even stronger.
He thought for a moment and turned his head: "Unpredictable? ”
"You're short of three and a half million?"
The companion pouted, "Such a small dinosaur egg, what nonsense?" ”
That's right.
Boss Cheng nodded, "Then measure!" ”
Haha, can't you persuade this?
Li Ding'an was suddenly happy and beckoned: "Director Sun, come to life!" ”
I have been waiting for a long time, and I have long expected that such a scene will happen, so the director and the top of the broadcast ran over and came to Li Ding'an's ear: "Teacher Li, are you sure?" ”
Li Dingan nodded lightly: "Six or seven!" ”
Pretty high?
He just asked casually, even if Li Dingan said one or two percent, today's scene must be broadcast, even if the car overturns, won't it be okay if you don't let go of the result?
But in case Li Dingan is right, isn't this broadcast more interesting and hot than deliberately putting in a group of national treasure gangs and arguing with experts on the table?
The director can imagine what kind of excitement it will be like here......
"Okay, I'll get in touch!"
He nodded, took out his mobile phone again, and in just two minutes, a staff member came up to arrange.
This one has a plan, and the relevant porcelain, calligraphy and painting, and gem identification institutions have appointments, but I didn't expect that there would be fossils.
But this is difficult for the organizers: there is nothing else in the capital, that is, there are many laboratories, just add money.
One contact, said that it is a maximum of two hours to get results.
Boss Cheng also agreed, and sent it for inspection on the spot, and did not sign any agreement, saying that he could trust Li Ding'an's character.
In fact, the companion had already turned on his mobile phone and started recording, and there were so many people next to him, he was not afraid that Li Dingan would not admit it.
The people around were also talking......
