Appreciation of treasures

Chapter 709
Zhao Gang blushed, walked to the sofa, put the box in his arms on the coffee table, and said, "Master Duan, I came to see you this time because I want you to see something."

"Is there anything else that can stump you? Take it out and open my eyes?" Duan Tiande sat on the sofa, his whole state seemed extremely relaxed.

After Chen Ziqi left, his behavior was obviously less restrained.

Zhao Gang opened the box, and carefully placed the glasses on the velvet cushion. Apart from the simple shape, this pair of glasses had no other special features, and looked quite ordinary.

"I received this pair of glasses in Detai a few days ago. I couldn't understand them, so I came here to ask Master Duan for advice." Zhao Gang smiled.

Duan Tiande didn't answer, he took out a pair of pure white gloves from his pocket and put them on, carefully picked up his glasses, and carefully looked them up and down with a high power magnifying glass.

When looking at the front frame, Duan Tiande's expression was rather flat. No matter how precious the material of this kind of glasses is, they are not considered treasures. It's just that he pretended to be serious because of Zhao Gang's reputation at the auction yesterday.

But when he saw the chain on the back of the frame, his pupils shrank, and a storm arose in his heart.

Zhao Gang kept staring at Duan Tiande, seeing the change in Duan Tiande's expression, he quickly asked, "Master Duan, what do you think of this chain?"

Duan Tiande put down his glasses, frowned and said: "This chain looks like it was made by the long-lost casting method. The shape of the device is very correct, but the frame is quite ordinary. The two don't seem to match."

He cast a slanted glance at Zhao Gang, and said, "Besides, I'm afraid these seven unique methods are just imitations."

Duan Tiande lifted up his glasses so that Zhao Gang could see the details of the chain.

"Look, this chain seems to be cast using Xing Zheng's method, but the imitation skills are not proficient, and it is inevitable to leave holes. The metal sections here are not neat. How can a craftsman make such a mistake? Fake products will never be messed up. real!"

Zhao Gang's heart was suddenly turbulent: "Did I really miss it?"

He started to learn this way since he was a child, and now he has actually practiced extraordinary skills. His talent has been shocking in Huaiyuan City for a while, and he is known as a rare genius in a hundred years.

But everything was ruthlessly shattered at this moment, is it time to wake up from the dream?

Duan Tiande saw Zhao Gang's flickering and distraught expression, and knew that he was still doubtful, so he spread his hands and said, "If you don't believe me, I'll take you for a thermoluminescence test."

Zhao Gang was overjoyed and thanked Duan Tiande again and again.

The machine was right next to it. In front of Zhao Gang, Duan Tiande carefully scraped a little powder off the chain of the glasses with a pick knife, put it on the disc, and sent it into the machine.

The detection of thermoluminescent light will take a while. Zhao Gang sat on the side, playing with the gold-plated chain in his hand. He followed Duan Tiande's instructions to look at it. The more he looked at the chain, the more it looked like a modern imitation.

"Xiao Zhao, the results are out." Duan Tiande watched a row of data appear on the machine. He tapped the screen a few times, and a white paper filled with data came out of the printing port.

Zhao Gang took it and looked up, his heart sank.

The thermoluminescence value clearly indicates that the forging period of this artifact was the period of the Republic of China!

Zhao Gang hit it off!
Although he didn't lose much, it was unacceptable to Zhao Gang.He has been very good at seeing things since he was a child. He has seen hundreds of antiques hoarded, and he can distinguish them one by one without missing a single one.Unexpectedly, it would fall in the hands of a small vendor.

It seemed that he still overestimated his eyesight. Zhao Gang picked up the glasses, stared at them for a while, and then put them back into the box.

"Xiao Zhao, don't be discouraged! This pair of glasses is so skillful in counterfeiting that even when I first got them, I almost punched my eyes. After all, you are young and you don't have much experience. Let me offer 3000 yuan for this pair of glasses. If you put away the glasses, it will be the first thunderstorm in your life for you."

Duan Tiande walked up to him, patted his shoulder, and said earnestly.

Zhao Gang frowned, not knowing what to do for a while.

Although the thermoluminescence test found that the glasses were not antiques, he had a vague feeling that the glasses were definitely not small. If he sold them for 3000 yuan now, he would regret it for the rest of his life!

With his capital, he is not short of the 3000 yuan. There is no need to give away things for nothing. Even if it is not a big leak, it is better to make a plaything and put it at home than to just sell it.

After making up his mind, Zhao Gang shook his head and said with a smile: "Thank you, Master Duan, for your kindness. I want to keep this pair of glasses as a souvenir. It can also be regarded as a wake-up call for myself, so that I must always remember how high the sky is." !"

Seeing Zhao Gang's refusal, Duan Tiande showed a steadfast expression on his face. He frowned and said, "Oh, Xiao Zhao, let me tell you the truth. I really like this pair of glasses. Even if it is a fake, I want to keep it by my side as a decoration. In this way, I will offer 1 yuan to accept this pair of glasses, what do you think!"

Speaking of this, Zhao Gang was also a little moved. For a modern imitation, Duan Tiande's price was already far exceeded. Logically speaking, it was reasonable to just give away the glasses.

One must know that Duan Tiande is well-known in the antique industry in East China, if Zhao Gang makes good friends with him, it will definitely be of great help to his future development.

Just when Zhao Gang was about to say yes, a sentence he had read in a book suddenly appeared in his mind.

In the business of antiques, the key to truth and falsehood is not in objects, but in people's hearts.

Thinking of this incident, Zhao Gang became more thoughtful. He took the box in his hand, shook his head and said, "Forget it. Thank you Master Duan for your kindness. I really want to keep this thing. It's not early now. I'll leave it another day." Come visit again."

"Xiao Zhao, if you think the price I offered is low, you can just say so. Even if it goes up a little, it doesn't matter, but if you step out of this door with these glasses, then don't think about looking back!"

Duan Tiande walked forward quickly, his voice and expression stern.

Seeing Duan Tiande care so much about this pair of glasses, Zhao Gang was already suspicious. There are many tricks in the antique industry. For a person like Duan Tiande, I am afraid that he is not only proficient in appreciation, but also knows all about the twists and turns in the antique world. Maybe today It was a trap set up by Duan Tiande, specifically to deceive him!
Thinking about it this way, Zhao Gang didn't care about Duan Tiande's attitude even more, turned around and walked out of the house, without any intention of turning back!
Seeing the hopelessness, Duan Tiande slapped the table angrily.

His gentle appearance was completely restrained, and he looked like a frustrated market boy.

"It's such a good thing, it's a bright pearl secretly cast... This brat is really ignorant. Does it mean that he has to kill you first before he can get the thing? He doesn't know good and bad things."

Duan Tiande suddenly remembered that Zhao Gang hadn't gained a firm foothold in Linshui yet, and couldn't help showing a strange smile on the corner of his mouth.
