Chapter 602: It's All Fake
"This is, the Bronze Xianglong Sword."
When Ye Chaoyang saw the contents of the brocade box, his face was full of shock.
Even Chu Xueyao on the side opened her mouth wide, her eyes were shining, and she said incredulously: "I know this sword, this is something only found in the Western Zhou royal family, the total length of this sword is one meter and sixty-one, and it weighs four catties and eight taels." ”
"The pattern on the sword body is the dragon Zun Xiangyun map, which means that the wind and rain are smooth, and the dragon is soaring all over the world, and there is only one sword unearthed at present, and there are only two in total, this is the second one."
"Boss, this girl is ......"
When the store manager heard Chu Xueyao's introduction, he couldn't help but be surprised.
"My newly acquired apprentice will stay in our shop to learn treasure appreciation in the future." Ye Chaoyang said bluntly.
"I see, boss, you are really modest, this girl can see the origin of this sword, and she knows so much about this sword, it can be seen that she has a deep understanding of antiques, and her treasure appreciation skills will definitely not be bad, and there is no one in our store who can teach her." The store manager said with a smile.
"Hehe, thank you for the compliment."
When Chu Xueyao heard this, she immediately blinked her beautiful eyes and said with a happy look on her face.
Ye Chaoyang shook his head and said bluntly: "She just knows some basics, and if she wants to talk about treasure appreciation, she is not as strong as the intern treasure connoisseur in our store, and there are still many things to learn in the future." ”
"If she encounters something that she can't do, you can teach her in time, and you are not allowed to let her give treasures to guests without my permission."
"Got it, boss." The store manager nodded decisively and said.
"Humph!"
Chu Xueyao was so angry by Ye Chaoyang's words that she threw her head aside, and said in her heart that Miss Ben had been in contact with antiques since she was a child, and no one dared to look down on her like this!
This Ye Chaoyang is so sarcastic about himself in front of outsiders, it's really too much!
"Boss, this sword has been cleaned very clean, and it is ready to be put on the shelves, you see how much it costs......"
"You don't need to put it on the shelf, just shred it and destroy it, it's a fake."
Without waiting for the store manager to finish speaking, Ye Chaoyang decisively interrupted him and said.
"What? Fake? ”
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the store manager and Chu Xueyao were stunned at the same time.
The store manager's mouth opened and he couldn't help asking, "Boss, this can't be, right?" I haven't looked at this sword more than five times, but I haven't found any problems, the patina on the surface of this bronze is all manually cleaned by me, and there are no traces of old staining, how can it be fake? ”
"That's it, you guy, don't think you're the boss, you can trample on the antiques casually, the other one of this sword, but my dad digs it himself...... I personally took it out and donated it to the museum. ”
"I had seen that sword with my own eyes at the time, and it was exactly the same as the other, so it must be true." Chu Xueyao also nodded, and deliberately said to Ye Chaoyang.
"Did I let you tell you about your results? You are not yet a treasure connoisseur in my shop, and you are not allowed to talk about your results without my permission in the future. Ye Chaoyang glared at her solemnly.
"You...... Hmph, I see. ”
Chu Xueyao still wanted to exchange ideas with him, but noticed that many employees in the store were looking at him at this time, and he was worried that he would be excluded by everyone in the future, so he endured his anger and didn't say anything more.
After she calmed down, Ye Chaoyang explained seriously: "The patina on this sword is indeed real, not that it is old and dyed, but it is because of this patina that it just proves that this sword is fake." ”
"This sword comes from the Western Zhou royal family, as far as I know, even if this sword is buried deep underground, it will also be worn by the royal family and nobles.
"So the rust that appears, mostly dry yellow rust, not moss wet rust, this is a problem that all treasure connoisseurs will ignore, you only look at the carcass material, graphic carving, but easy to ignore whether it is in line with the contemporary environment."
"Also, wherever there is rust on this sword, there are dense sparse holes, which is why you will identify it as true patina, those sparse holes are artificially planted, and the holes are injected with modern student rust."
"As long as the humidity and temperature are right, patina will automatically grow on the surface, which is basically the same as the patina that comes with antiques."
After Ye Chaoyang explained carefully, the store manager was incredulous and took the sword for careful appraisal again.
After some careful examination, he really found sparse holes in the carcass that were very difficult to notice.
"There are really small holes, so why is the material and carving pattern of this sword so realistic, there is no trace of machine carving at all, with modern hand-carved technology, it is difficult to achieve exactly the same as the original picture."
The store manager expressed his inner doubts.
Ye Chaoyang smiled indifferently and explained bluntly: "It's not difficult to do this, if you give him a piece of raw copper for him to engrave, it may be difficult to copy, but if you use a computer typesetting first, use a laser to carve the original outline on it, and finally change to hand engraving." ”
"This not only covers the traces of laser engraving, but also makes the perfect hand-made pattern outline without any distortion of the pattern."
"This ......"
When the store manager heard this explanation, he suddenly realized in his heart!
It turned out that I really looked away!
"Boss, I'm sorry, I made a mistake, I spent 300,000 yuan to collect a fake antique, which caused the store to lose money again." The store manager said with repentance.
"It's okay, every treasure connoisseur has a time when they look away, and I don't blame you this time."
Ye Chaoyang gently patted him on the shoulder and comforted him.
Immediately, he opened several other brocade boxes, only to find that these antiques were also fake.
Suddenly, Ye Chaoyang's brows furrowed.
He saw that the antiques were forged in almost the same way, and he could conclude that they were made in the same place.
Looking back, Ye Chaoyang asked solemnly: "Are these antiques made by the same person?" ”
"No, every antique is sold by a different person, and it took me two days to get these antiques." The store manager said bluntly.
"Fooled, they are the same people, the purpose is to sell these antiques, and there are so many antiques at the same time, either they are gangs specializing in making fake antiques, or, they are our peers." Ye Chaoyang said coldly in his eyes.
"What? This ......"
The store manager was surprised on the spot, and he was really scared.
It's the rhythm of someone trying to knock this antique shop out of business.
"Is there anyone in the store? Is there a better bronze? ”
At this moment, a little girl who looked like a ghost suddenly walked in outside the store, and asked as soon as she entered the store.
