Hunter: Witness From Imprint

At this time, the surrounding businessmen and buyers heard about it and couldn't help but feel worried.

"makes sense......"

"However, these gems look real..."

"These are valuables older than that time..."

"I also looked at it with a magnifying glass, and I can be sure that they are all antiques."

"Haven't you all seen it?" The bald man sneered, "Even if the gems are real..."

"Maybe it's the same age as the statue..."

Killua was a little confused: "What are they talking about?"

"They are trying to lower the price." Xianpai said calmly, "Actually they are here to find fault."

"Um?"

Killua said, "So don't we stop them?"

"Here is the estimated market."

Xianpai explained: "Although their actions are undesirable, who would not want to be able to buy them at a low price. y

"From now on, you pay more attention to their hands. If you find something wrong with the other party, immediately ask them loudly, 'What are you looking for?'"

brush!

Gon and Killua immediately ran towards the bald man and the others, their eyes fixed on them.

For a moment, the bald man felt a little guilty after being stared at by them, and immediately held the gemstone ring and said, "You guys brought this here?"

"Don't be nervous, I won't change it secretly, because all the exhibits here have a number plate stamped by the market..."

"You can't take it lightly even if you have a number 08 card." Xian Pai walked forward and said, "Generally, this is how you switch cards..."

Hearing this, the bald man turned his head to look at Xianpai and said, "Who are you?"

"I'm the appraiser they hired." Xianpai said loudly: "I can swear that these are all genuine! The statue is from that time, and the gemstones inside are also real."

The bald man asked, "Do you have a notarized certificate?"

Xianpai: "No..."

"That's hard to say." The bald man spread his hands and said, "How can we only look at the seller's appraisal..."

The businessman on the side also couldn't help asking in doubt: "Why don't you apply for an appraisal?"

"Because the notarization certificate is very time-consuming." Xianpai explained: "If you go to the notarization certificate first, you will not be able to catch up with this year's auction..."

"My client needs a large sum of money this year. Even so, if the price is lower than expected, we will not sell it..."

"This year?" Gon whispered, "Yan, Xianpai is..."

"Half-truth, half-false..." Huang Yan also whispered back: "Don't bother him, if you say that we need money urgently, people will definitely lower the price.

"Oh oh oh․..."

Gon suddenly said: "So it's like this..."

ahead.

Looking at the merchants and intermediaries around, Xianpai said: "After the transaction is completed, you can go to other places for appraisal."

"I am willing to sign an oath, and if it is identified as a fake, I will pay the full amount."

When the businessmen around heard it, they were a little moved.

At this moment, the bald man suddenly sneered and said, "You are very confident, can you really swear?"

"Statues are the easiest to miss for connoisseurs, because there are endless ways to fake them..."

Gon: "Fake it?"

"It's the method used by counterfeiters to deceive professional appraisers." The bald man said: "It's like a statue, even if it is real, the items inside may not be the originals. This method is called [dropping the package.

"The statue and the items inside are all fake, so it's called [fake]. There are many ways to [drop bags], and they can be roughly divided into five types..."

[First, replace all treasures with fake ones. 】

[Second, leave a small amount really. 】

[Third, use real ones when exhibiting and replace them with fake ones when selling them. 】

[Fourth, replace with the nearest bargain. 】

[Fifth, replace it with cheap goods of the same age. 】

Speaking of this, the bald man pointed to the statue and said, "It's actually hard to tell whether it's real or not."

"This statue, the material is definitely more than three hundred years old, but this is only the age of the material, it does not mean that it was carved three hundred years ago!"

"Compared with the age of the material, the age of the processing is more difficult to identify. Even if the age of the material is the same as the original, the carving is modern..."

"This is called [Later Carver]!"

"etc!"

Xianpai calmly said: "This is obviously not [Later Carver]!"

"The adhesive applied on the cut surface is obviously an object at that time, and it can be known from the degree of its oxidation and discoloration! There are no traces of secondary bonding on it."

"Yeah?"

Looking around, the bald man laughed loudly and said, "Everyone doesn't know that the adhesive at that time, as long as it is heated, it will melt and restore its stickiness..."

"This fixed trick can also be used to cheat. Apply new adhesive on top of the existing adhesive. This is called smearing】, which is a layman's method."

"And counterfeiters use fire to melt the adhesive and reapply it, so that it looks like it has never been opened. This method is called [burning flame]!"

Hush!

Everyone heard about it, and there was a lot of discussion for a while.

"It turned out to be like this..."

"So, it is impossible to judge whether it has been [burned]..."

"Wait!"

Xianpai frowned and said, "If [burning], it will leave scorched marks on the cut surface!"

"Even if it is not burnt, the color of the adhesive will change subtly due to heat!"

"The adhesive on this statue, there's nothing like that [so it's absolutely genuine!"

"That's not necessarily true." The bald man retorted: "The subtle changes in color tone are all based on the eyes, and even an expert can't judge it. This is not based on evidence at all!"

Hush!

The surrounding audience started to make noise again, obviously the two people's arguments made their minds dizzy.

What's more, he directly picked up half of the statue and examined it carefully.

"Hmm... can't tell..."

"I have never heard of many of the current methods of counterfeiting..."

"Do you think this is true or false?"

"I don't know, both of them are right..."

"It's a bit of a headache to see..."

"Is this the beginning of suspicion?"

Huang Yan shook his head with a smile.

Xianpai was really taken away by other people's rhythm.

However, that bald man really impresses him. Although he doesn't look very good, in terms of professional knowledge and eloquence, he actually beats the fairy school...

Thinking of this, Huang Yan walked to the side of Xianpai and said with a smile: "Let's go here first this time."

"The other party is very interesting, and he is very good at beating the emotions of the audience. This time, let's withdraw first, and go out to discuss and discuss..."

Huh~~

Xian Pai breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's fine..."

Waited for a while.

After the crowd gradually dispersed, the four of them packed everything together and walked outside 440.

Come to the rest area outside the market.

"Damn it! Those guys..."

Immortal Pai said speechlessly: "He actually deliberately told everyone how to cheat..."

"Hahaha..."

Huang Yan said with a smile: "I didn't expect that there are so many ways to cheat, it's quite interesting.

"They should be the kind of business intermediary that specializes in buying antiques."

"Well, almost." Xianpai nodded and said: "They are deliberately picking on the thorns, and then they are buying good products at low prices."

"Among them, there are not many people with despicable methods. As long as it is something they fancy, they will deliberately spread bad reviews among their peers."

"Finally, take the opportunity to mix fake items into the items to lower the value..."

"Then..." Huang Yan said: "Can the statues and these gold, silver and jewelry still be sold?"

 …

"The auction hasn't started yet, so it's hard to say." Xianpai said: "It is definitely possible to sell, and it may be affected by the order of the auction.

"However, there are a few people in the auction market who are very discerning. If they participate in the auction, the market atmosphere will become more lively and the price will also increase."

"By the way, Immortal Pai." Gon asked curiously, "Any other tricks?"

"Oh?" Xianpai asked in surprise, "Are you interested?"

"Um!"

Gon laughed and said, "It's like a magic reveal, it's very interesting."

When Xianpai heard it, he was stunned, and he suddenly seemed to understand something.

These three people are very special, but Gon surprised him, he didn't understand why he was so interested in them.

But now he seems to understand a little bit. .
