Antique Dealer

Chapter 99 Splicing
Seeing Tang Yunjuan's expression, Liu Dai was very proud, but considering his position, he couldn't praise this seal now.

The middle-aged man no longer had such concerns, and began to talk freely: "Usually, what people call silver-wrapped golden tianhuang actually has two types. One is between Baitian huangshi and Huangtian huangshi, with white tianhuangshi on the outside. Muscle quality, the heart is similar to the quality of golden Huangtian Huangshi. Most Baitian Huangshi has a yellow heart. If there are many yellow hearts, it is silver-coated gold.

There is also a kind of "gold-wrapped silver", that is, Huangtian Huangshi wrapping Baitian Huangshi, which is extremely rare, and the Tianhuang used in this seal has the characteristics of gold-wrapped silver. The characters portrayed in the Red Mansion are all lifelike. If it is not impossible, I am really reluctant to sell them! "

Speaking of this, he felt dejected.

As mentioned earlier, Tang Yunjuan's grandfather loved Tianhuang, so there are several fine Tianhuang works at home. In comparison, the material used for this seal is even higher than those collected at home. Tang Yunjuan can be sure that this is a first-class seal. Tian Huang, if she hadn't invited Fang Hao over, at least she would have to go through an appraisal process, and she has already bought it now.

"Fang Hao, please take a look." Tang Yunjuan put the seal in front of Fang Hao.

Both Liu Dai and the middle-aged man were a little surprised. They didn't expect this young man to be the appraiser invited by Tang Yunjuan?
Liu Dai was even thinking, how could there be such a young appraiser? Could Tang Yunjuan be confused by this kid's appearance?He looked at Fang Hao with a little hostility.

Fang Hao nodded, took the seal in his hand, and tasted it carefully. As time went by, a faint smile appeared on his face.

After a while, Fang Hao raised his head and said to Tang Yunjuan, "Sister Juan, I suggest you think carefully before buying this seal."

"Okay..." Tang Yunjuan was thinking about finding an opportunity to give this seal to grandpa, but she didn't realize it for a while, she just said a word, and suddenly she came back to her senses, her eyes widened, looking incredible: "You Does that mean there is something wrong with this seal?"

"Fart!" The middle-aged man pointed at Fang Hao and said loudly: "Why do you have such long eyes, such a precious Tianhuang, you actually say that there is something wrong, you must have something wrong with your brain!"

Fang Hao hated this kind of life attack very much, and reprimanded: "Have you eaten X? Your mouth is so stinky! Since I said it has a problem, I will naturally tell what the problem is. On the other hand, why are you so excited? It’s not that you’ve been exposed for doing bad things!”

Tang Yunjuan looked at the middle-aged man suspiciously. Originally, she suspected that it was a coincidence, but now the middle-aged man's reaction was so excited, which made her feel that this seal might have been arranged.

Afterwards, she glanced at Liu Dai again, and saw that Liu Dai's expression was also a little nervous, and she murmured: "No way, is there a problem with the Tianhuang seal that opens the door like this?"

The middle-aged man shouted: "I have a certificate of authenticity for this seal. You clearly want to lower the price and deliberately say that there is something wrong with my stuff!"

Fang Hao looked at him indifferently: "Then you can't listen to what I said, is it reasonable, and then express your opinion? I don't understand, why are you so excited when I didn't say what the problem is?"

Tang Yunjuan frowned and said, "If you don't dare to let my friend point out the problem, just take your things and leave!"

Liu Dai hurriedly said to the middle-aged man: "Since people have mentioned problems, they must always be pointed out. Escape is not the solution."

The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment: "Okay, I want to see what he has to say, if something is created out of nothing, this matter will never end!"

"If I'm wrong, I will naturally apologize to you!"

Fang Hao picked up the seal and said: "Among the fraudulent works of Tianhuang, there is a method called splicing or inlaying. It is made of small pieces of Tianhuang stones and carved together. Since large pieces of Tianhuang are the most rare, many merchants work hard on the pieces. Usually, one or two or more pieces are put together and then carved, and the joints are carved, so that the Tianhuang produced in this way is more confusing and can confuse the eyes of many collectors."

Speaking of this, Fang Hao looked at the middle-aged man, seeing his eyes dodging, obviously flustered.

Fang Hao continued: "It's not difficult to tell the difference. Take this Tianhuang seal, you can see that there are low-lying depressions at the turning point of the carving, and the red grid pattern is not continuous, and the radish pattern is uneven in thickness and unevenly distributed. Neat, or dense or sparse, and the phenomenon of disconnected radish lines."

Then, he took out a bright flashlight and pointed it at the seal. Although the level of the creator was indeed very high, if you look closely, you can still see the traces of splicing, which confirmed Fang Hao's guess.

Looking at the silent middle-aged man, Tang Yunjuan was very angry. From the series of reactions just now, she couldn't believe that the middle-aged man didn't know. If the middle-aged man succeeded, she would lose several million.

She said coldly: "Okay, didn't you keep saying that it was a treasure?"

The middle-aged man said with a bitter face: "Misunderstanding, I didn't know that this seal was spliced!"

Tang Yunjuan yelled sharply: "Take this thing and leave!"

The middle-aged man quickly picked up the seal on the table, and walked out the door in despair.

Looking at Tang Yunjuan's cold expression, Liu Dai swallowed, and said with a smile, "Well, I really didn't know there was something wrong with this seal..."

Speaking of this, when he reached the point of his mouth, he was so frightened by Tang Yunjuan's cold gaze that he swallowed it back.

Tang Yunjuan said coldly: "Why are you still here?"

"Then I'll go back first, and I'll contact you later."

Seeing Liu Dai go out in embarrassment, Tang Yunjuan let out a long breath, and then Fang Hao said: "Thanks to you today, otherwise, I would have been deceived and lost millions!"

Shang Xiaoxuan, who hadn't spoken the whole time just now, opened her mouth. She knew Tianhuang was not cheap, but she never thought that a small piece of Tianhuang could be worth several million, much more expensive than gold.At the same time, it made her feel the danger of the antique business. If she was not careful, she might go bankrupt. This made Fang Hao somewhat worried in her heart.

"Being entrusted by others and being loyal to others, this is what should be done." Fang Hao smiled slightly. The appraisal was originally Tang Yunjuan's intention for inviting him over. A loss of thousands or even hundreds of millions is nothing to be proud of.On the contrary, if he didn't see the problem, it would be a particularly embarrassing thing.

Tang Yunjuan smiled: "Only someone as capable as you can say this so naturally. Like my grandfather, he took a fancy to a seal before and hired an appraiser, but something went wrong, which cost us a lot of money." Hundreds of thousands, not even a serious attitude.”

Shang Xiaoxuan said in surprise: "Don't the appraisers need to pay compensation?"

Tang Yunjuan shook her head: "You are thinking too simply. The antique industry is not ordinary. According to the law, appraisers will not be punished if they make mistakes. Ask Fang Hao, how many cases of wrong appraisals will be compensated?"

Fang Hao nodded, indicating that it was true.

At present, the identification of antique collections is still a field with "no scientific standards" and "no legal basis". Except for the jewelry industry and the jade industry, there are a small number of institutions that can identify parts that can be scientifically verified, and provide Except for the appraisal conclusions stipulated by the law, the vast majority of other appraisals are guaranteed by the reputation of the appraiser, which does not have the recognition of "universal universal", let alone be protected by law.

Therefore, this has also caused the identification certificate of the antique collection industry to be very different from the identification conclusion issued by the "Technical Supervision Bureau at all levels".

In this case, if there is a problem with the appraisal, seek compensation from the appraiser. Unless the appraiser admits his mistake and is willing to compensate, he can completely evade, saying that before the appraisal, it has been agreed that the appraisal "is only valid for this entrustment." ", or "Personal opinion only."

Or the appraiser insists that his conclusion is correct, so what "more scientific and legal" means do you use to refute him?The final result, at best, is nothing more than a slight impact on the professional authority of the appraiser.

After hearing Fang Hao's explanation, Shang Xiaoxuan was very surprised: "This is too messy!"

Fang Hao said with a smile: "That's why those famous experts who have been on TV are so popular!"

After chatting for a few more words, Tang Yunjuan called for the food to be served, and the three chatted while eating.

After serving the dishes, Fang Hao and Shang Xiaoxuan understood why Tang Yunjuan praised this place so much. It can be said that every dish here has its own characteristics, especially two of them, fried chicken fir and Gaoligong Mountain snow The chicken impressed them the most.

The fried chicken fir is shredded fresh chicken fir, then fried with salt in an oil pan to force out the aroma, and then sealed with oil, the moment you eat it, you can feel it blooming in the taste buds, fragrant and fresh Sweet, sweet, that compound aroma cannot be described in words, it can only be said to be beautiful and indescribable.

The snow chicken that grows at the foot of the Gaoligong Mountains, due to long-term inhabitation and foraging in the forests at the foot of the Gaoligong Mountains, has created its own fresh but not firewood, fat but not greasy taste, coupled with special cooking methods, makes every One bite of chicken has its original taste, tender and delicious.

The meal left Fang Hao and Shang Xiaoxuan endless aftertaste, and they all thought that even if they came to this small restaurant often, they would never get tired of eating.

After eating, the three of them bid farewell at the entrance of the restaurant. Tang Yunjuan said with a smile, "I won't bother you anymore. Let's meet again when we have time. By the way, Fang Hao, there may be troubles for you in the future."

Fang Hao smiled and said, "Okay, you can contact me then."

"Goodbye." Tang Yunjuan waved to the two and left.

Fang Hao turned his gaze back to Shang Xiaoxuan: "What are you going to do this afternoon?"

"Tell me." Shang Xiaoxuan said.

"Why don't we go to the movies together."

"Okay."

Fang Hao took out her mobile phone and checked the app for any good movies. At this moment, Shang Xiaoxuan's mobile phone rang. She took it out and looked, a little surprised: "Sister Juan transferred me 3000 yuan and said yes You must accept the appraisal fee given to you."
