Antique Dealer

Chapter 44

After waking up the next day, Fang Hao turned on the system and found the item for ordinary tasks.

Ordinary task: You already have expert-level identification knowledge, but you don’t have the corresponding reputation. Please let more and more people believe in your identification ability in the next time. When the number of people reaches 20, it can be settled as 50 100 experience points, and can spend 10 million to convert this task into a long-term task, and then every 10 people can settle [-] experience points.

Current number: 10
When he received this task, the number was 5. After thinking about it, he felt that these five people should refer to Shang Xiaoxuan, Li Mingchao, Cao Wei, Li Fangsheng and Jiang Mingrui.

Together with Liu Shi and others after the dinner yesterday, it adds up to exactly 10.

Ten people are needed to complete the task, which is not a large number, but it is not so easy to believe in his appreciation ability. You have to have a chance and you need to have a corresponding performance.

He doesn't have 100 million in his hand now, and there is no set time for the completion of this task, so he is not in a hurry.

Today is Saturday, Shang Xiaoxuan has a design job to complete, and has no time to go out to play, Fang Hao thought about going to the antique market, maybe he can find something good again.

However, good luck doesn’t come often. After looking around, Fang Hao couldn’t find anything suitable, but he saw a lot of weird and funny creations, such as mythical beasts with faces like huskies, deformed steel Bronze figures, and some unsightly porcelain figures, and so on.I don't know who these gadgets can be sold to.

Fang Hao was going to go back. He passed by Zhu Junda's antique shop and saw the door was open, so he looked inside. Just when Zhu Junda also looked over, he stopped Fang Hao.

When Fang Hao sold the porcelain plate to Zhu Junda, the man who was in the store was also there, and this time Zhu Junda introduced them.

"Fang Hao, Xiaochao called me before and said that you want to find a piece of porcelain worth a million dollars. I have been busy for the past two days and have not had time to ask for you. Have you found it now?"

"I asked my friend to help me, and I have found it."

Zhu Junda nodded: "That's good, if you need anything in the future, you can also call me."

Fang Hao smiled and thanked him.

At this moment, an old man came into the shop with a bag in his hand: "Boss Zhu, I'm looking for you again, please help me to see, are these rubbings right?"

Rubbing is a collective name for stele and post. In fact, "monument" refers to the rubbings of stone inscriptions, and "tie" refers to the collection of famous ancient ink marks carved on wooden boards or stones.

Zhu Junda showed a little embarrassment on his face: "Mr. Li, the so-called specialization in art, I am a researcher of porcelain, and I don't really have much research on inscriptions. If I read it wrong, it will delay your business. I suggest You'd better find someone else to take a look."

Mr. Li smiled wryly and said: "Boss Zhu, I really can't help it. Some of my inscriptions are telling the truth, and some are saying something is wrong. Because of them, I haven't slept well for a few days. Please help me and show me." Bar."

Seeing that the old man's eyes were red, as if he hadn't slept well for a few days, Zhu Junda couldn't resist: "That's fine, don't blame me if you misread it!"

Hearing this, Mr. Li was overjoyed, and quickly took the inscription out of the bag carefully, and put it on the table.

Zhu Junda said to Fang Hao and Zhou Yongsi again: "Let's take a look together."

There are altogether nine types of inscriptions brought by Mr. Li, including the stele of Ma Lin, the stele of Duke Lu Wangbiao of the Jin Dynasty, and the stele of Wangbiao of the Taigong of Wei Dynasty.

There are generally four types of inscriptions, original engraving, re-engraving, re-engraving, and fake engraving.Re-engraving, re-engraving, and fake engraving are all relative to the original engraving.

The so-called original engraving refers to the stele engraved by Shudan or Mole Shangshizhen at that time.There are several situations for re-engraving: first, re-carving stones based on the original handwriting; second, re-carving stones based on the original rubbings; third, re-carving stones based on facsimiles.

The so-called re-engraving means that the original stone is still there, and it is not easy to get it for some reason, so it is re-engraved with rubbings, and then engraved and then extended to the world.Among them, some famous monuments are located in remote places, so it is difficult to expand them. For example, Ouyang Xun's "Jiucheng Palace Liquan Ming" was reprinted in Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties; It is engraved with the old extension.

The so-called fake inscriptions refer to the fact that the original stone has been lost for a long time or there is no such stone inscription at all. The stele merchants only based on the description or simply wrote the inscriptions for profit.

After a while, Zhu Junda raised his head again and saw Mr. Li looking at him expectantly, and said half-jokingly, "Mr. Li, I'm a little scared when you look at me like that!"

Mr. Li said: "What is the result, you just say it, I can bear it!"

"This..." Zhu Junda was in a dilemma. Although there are some commonalities in the identification of antiques, he can also do a simple identification when he encounters some other types of antiques, but if it is a more complicated identification like these inscriptions now, he I lost count.

Just as he was thinking about how to tell the old man, Zhu Junda saw Fang Hao's well-groomed appearance. He was a little surprised and said with a smile, "Fang Hao, why don't you talk about your opinion first?"

Seeing that Zhu Junda asked the young and over-the-top guy next to him to speak first, the old man frowned and felt a little dissatisfied in his heart, but he didn't want to say much when he thought that he was here to beg for help.

"Then I will say a few words."

Fang Hao was not too polite, and first picked out one of the several inscriptions: "Generally speaking, ancient extensions are often passed on in a thread, after being collected and identified by celebrities, and inscriptions and postscripts are written on them, their own value can be enhanced. , but the discriminating person also often superstitiously believes in famous experts, but they don't know that the counterfeiters are taking advantage of people's psychology to make a big deal out of it.

For example, it is possible to emulate new ideas, cut out famous inscriptions and postscripts and mount them on fake books, or simply make fake postscripts to increase the value, so you must carefully check whether the content of the inscriptions and postscripts matches the content of the inscriptions. If the two are irrelevant, there must be some fraudulent.

Let’s just talk about this "Monument of Wei Taigong Wangbiao", which has an inscription written by Cheng Yaotian. This person is a famous scholar in the Qing Dynasty and one of the representatives of Hui School Puxue. He is proficient in exegesis, and his calligraphy is also very characteristic.He likes to use the pen in the center, so the strokes naturally have a three-dimensional sense and a bone method, and every stroke, from the beginning to the end, must be full of energy.However, this inscription is much weaker.

Of course, this alone will be falsified, and if it is a little weaker, let's look at Moshi.Old rubbings, especially rare editions, are often made with exquisite ink, the ink color is thick and dark, or the purple light is faintly visible, and the ink fragrance is overflowing.The counterfeit works are eager for quick results and intended to make a profit, the ink used is flat or poor, and the time of extension is rough and frivolous.Although this book looks very realistic, it still hasn't escaped this law..."

Listening to Fang Hao's introduction, everyone observed carefully, and it was indeed consistent with what he said.

Next, Fang Hao commented on the remaining few stele posts one by one, and came to the conclusion that seven are false and two are true.
