I'm an antique shop owner, so it's reasonable for me to know some magic

Chapter 74 The Abstract Treasure Appraisers Su Fan Met Over the Years
Jamie had a basis for saying this.

He himself believed in Su Fan and felt that the latter was knowledgeable.

In addition, Carl praised Su Fan's performance in the police station that day to the skies.

The treasure appraiser is gone.

Su Fan himself also thought so, so he attached great importance to this treasure appraisal meeting.

In the next few days, the former even stopped his practice classes for half a day to review and consolidate the antique knowledge taught by Old Man Su and read relevant books.

The weekend arrived in the blink of an eye. Su Fan took his own equipment and got on a taxi to the museum.

After arriving, the organizer took him to a special location.

According to the on-site person in charge, this is a special location for the identification of Chinese antiques.

They will divide the appraisers from different cultures and countries into different areas to facilitate them to give full play to their expertise.

Su Fan expressed his affirmation of their work, and also nodded secretly at Jamie's reliability.

Not far from here, there are several cameras, which are obviously used to record the treasure appraisal process for the convenience of subsequent editing and playback.

It can be seen that this is not a simple exhibition, the specifications are quite formal.

After Su Fan came to his seat and sat down, he began to wait.

There was already a long line in front of the experts who were authenticating modern and contemporary paintings and cultural relics.

Su Fan's side seemed a little deserted.

The former had already anticipated this situation.

Westerners believe that their civilization is superior, so they generally only value famous paintings and cultural relics from countries such as Italy and France.

They have no interest in the cultural history and value contained in the antiquities of other countries.

For example, the ox head among the twelve animal heads of the Old Summer Palace was used by the owner as a towel decoration in the bathroom when it was discovered.

However, after waiting for a while, Su Fan finally received his first item for appraisal.

A piece of porcelain.

The owner of the porcelain was a middle-aged man dressed very formally.

"Sir, can you help me see what era this porcelain is from?"

The latter preciously pulled out a box, laid it on the table and opened it.

"When I bought it, the person who sold it to me said that it was porcelain specially supplied to the emperor of the last dynasty of an ancient oriental country, and it was very rare..."

Hearing these words, the first thing that came to Su Fan’s mind was the official kiln during the Xianfeng era.

During that era, the Qing Dynasty was on the decline, with political corruption and economic recession. There was also the Taiping Rebellion and the British and French invasions, which were both internal and external troubles.

In addition, Jingdezhen, where porcelain is produced, is located in a war zone and production was stopped in the fifth year of Emperor Xianfeng's reign, so the quantity is scarce.

It is understandable that he is wandering outside.

Thinking of this, Su Fan sat up a little and took the porcelain.

But after just one look, the expectation in Su Fan's eyes disappeared. When he saw the bottom of the plate, he even couldn't hold it anymore and covered his mouth.

On the opposite side, the middle-aged man saw Su Fan covering his mouth with his facial emotions out of control, and he suddenly became energetic!
"How's it going, sir?"

"I spent $10,000 on this. It can't be fake."

More than ten thousand dollars?

After hearing this, Su Fan raised his hand again which was about to be put down.

After a long time, he cleared his throat and spoke.

"Ahem, you...how should I put it...Judging from the body and the glaze, it should not be porcelain from the Qing Dynasty, nor is it from an official kiln."

"New."

After hearing Su Fan's words, the middle-aged man opposite was stunned.

"Really? But I see no difference between this and the porcelain in the picture..."

"I have no reason to lie to you."

“It’s really not an antique?”

"It's really not true."

After confirming it again and again, a look of embarrassment appeared on the middle-aged man's face, followed by anger.

"How dare this damn profiteer deceive me..." "I'll go and settle the score with him!"

"Rather than calculating the accounts, I think you should add a little knowledge about the relevant aspects... If you want to do Chinese cultural relics business, you should at least learn Chinese..."

Su Fan turned the porcelain over, revealing the black writing on the bottom of the plate.

There were three small words in bold on it.

Master Kong.

"this is……"

“The most famous instant noodle manufacturer in China.”

"..."

Hearing this, the white middle-aged man's face turned purple and he turned away angrily.

"Sir, your porcelain plate..."

Su Fan shouted twice symbolically from behind, but the other party's speed of advancement became faster and faster, and finally he just tore off his tie and ran wildly.

"Ugh……"

If you want to do business but don't understand the tricks involved, and dream of getting lucky and buying treasures every day, then who will be deceived if not be deceived?

abstract.

After seeing off the white Master Kang, Su Fan once again began to patiently wait for his next treasure appraisal client.

The second person who came to appraise the treasure did not make Su Fan wait too long.

This time, the person who came forward was an old man with gray hair.

Judging from his appearance and skin color, he should be Asian.

Unlike the previous one, the latter was carrying a lot of bags and looked quite impressive.

But when Su Fan saw the other person, he narrowed his eyes.

The reason is simple: the other party's attitude and eyes are not right.

Although the old man looked a little hunched, his eyes exuded thorny hostility when he looked around.

The latter came straight to Su Fan and put his bags on the table with a heavy muffled sound.

"Please help me check if these things are real."

Although he said it was troublesome, the old man's expression did not show any gratitude or politeness. Instead, he stared closely at Hou Sufan's every move.

"Okay, you open it first."

Su Fan seemed not to feel the hostile gaze and spoke lightly.

The old man opened the bundle in no time.

Porcelain, jade, and even ancient ink paintings were revealed...

Su Fan picked up each item and looked at it, but put it down after not looking at it for long.

"How about it?"

After watching Su Fan look almost through it, the old man immediately asked.

"new."

Su Fan spoke directly.

"New? Which one do you say is new?"

The old man did not reveal anything immediately, but stared at Su Fan's face and asked again.

"It's all new. All of it."

Hearing this, the old man glared and immediately slammed the table!
"boom!"

The noise immediately attracted the attention of everyone around, even other appraisers who were appraising treasures.

"You are talking nonsense! Why are you pretending to be an expert when you know nothing?"

The old man screamed, blood vessels burst out of his dry skin, and his hoarse voice spread throughout the entire venue.

"Do you know when this porcelain was made? Do you know how to identify jade? Can you understand ancient paintings?!"
