The years when I was reborn as a giant in the antique world

This thought only flashed through Yunzhou's mind, but was interrupted by Mr. Luo's cold and stern voice, "Since I don't have a clue, I will examine it carefully after I go back, and please don't publicize what happened today."

This incident can be described as a great shame and humiliation for him. Not to mention being cheated out of millions, he almost lost his face and became a laughing stock in the circle!

He will definitely not let this fake person go, even if he digs three feet, he will find him out.

Qiu Lao and the others immediately assured: "Mr. Luo, don't worry, absolutely not."

"I guarantee in the name of the president of the Painting and Calligraphy Association that I will keep my mouth shut."

"I will definitely not reveal half of it—"

……

It's true to say that they are friends who have known each other for many years.

But the relationship in the business field is mixed with various interests and intersections, true and false.

The most important thing is that this high imitation plum bottle is also related to the reputation of several experts present, so naturally they will not reveal anything.

If you want to study it carefully, several experts did not identify it as a fake in advance, which led to the appearance of this sacrificial red-glazed plum vase as an auction item at the banquet, and they also bear the inescapable responsibility.

This high imitation caught them by surprise, and no one recognized it. How could it not be a shame to put it on these long-established experts? !

As for Mr. Qian, he has close business contacts with Mr. Luo, and he also benefits from this kind of banquet, so there is no need to go through this muddy water.

Mr. Luo cast his eyes on Yunzhou, with a complex and difficult expression.

This young man really made him feel uncomfortable when he found out that something was wrong, but after thinking about it, there is no impenetrable wall in the world. Since this person made a secret mark in the bottle, he would be discovered sooner or later.

Rather than making the trouble known to everyone later, the immediate situation is obviously the way to minimize the loss.

All this is thanks to the other party.

I have to admit that this young man's eyesight is really good.

Mr. Luo took the piece of broken porcelain with the word 'Kan' printed on it from Mr. Du, and said to Yunzhou before leaving, "I owe you a favor this time, just call this private number if you have anything to do."

He scribbled a series of numbers on the sticky note with a signature pen, put it on the table, and left the room with a sullen face.

This is equivalent to giving the other party a promise.

With Roche's status in City S, as long as it is not a major crime, everything else can be settled.

If young people intend to do business, they will be listed as a big tree, and the prospects will be bright.

Shao Chuan would never have imagined that he did not hesitate to donate official kiln porcelain without a word with Mr. Luo; while Yunzhou not only won the other party's approval by relying on his own ability, but also got the most important promise.

This is something he never dared to dream about!

There are so many differences between people.

After Mr. Luo left, Mr. Qian also left quickly, leaving only Yunzhou and a few experts in the presidential suite.

Qiu Lao and the others sat on the sofa and took a deep breath, sweating hard for today's imitation of plum vases.

If it weren't for this young disciple of Mr. Du who saw the problem, I don't know how it will end in the future!

The eyes of several people looking at Yunzhou changed completely.

If he was dubious before, but now he is completely convinced, and he can see the doubts that these old fellows didn't see, his eyesight is really amazing!

Mr. Du: "Xiao Zhou, how did you feel something was wrong?"

Several other people also gathered around.

Yun Zhou smiled: "...It's just a faint feeling, and I'm not sure.

That's why I searched inside and out of the plum vase for so long, and finally found it after accidentally spilling hot tea on it. "

Even so, it still cannot conceal the excellence of the youth.

Intuition is also a part of appreciation. It is possible to discover problems only when there are doubts.

What's more, being able to withstand the pressure of authority and the ridicule of others, and stick to one's point of view until the end is rare, and most people can't do it.

It's really touching.

Old Qiu thought that he had doubted the other party's authenticity as a porcelain restoration master, and his face suddenly became hot.

At that time, I didn't know what to think, could old man Du, who had known him for many years, still lie to him?

Everything stems from a prejudice against the age of youth.

They didn't believe that a young man in his early twenties, who was an appraiser sitting with them, could also become a well-known master of porcelain restoration.

But reality slapped them hard.

Several people looked at each other, not knowing what it was like.

Feeling ashamed, amazed, and disappointed, this young man with a slightly immature face in front of him actually compares to several of their experts who have been immersed in the antique industry for decades.

It is true that the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and the blue is better than the blue.

After sighing a lot, Mr. Qiu got up first, and they still owe each other an apology and thanks.

"It's really thanks to Xiaozhou this time, otherwise I would lose my old face, alas!"

"That's right. I questioned your eyesight before, but now it seems that our eyesight is not good enough. I am really ashamed and must apologize."

"Thank you Xiaozhou for saving the face of the few of us, and not letting the fakes leak out of the banquet. If you need help, please come to me at any time."

……

Faced with the thanks from several bigwigs in the antique industry, Yunzhou smiled slightly, feeling a little embarrassed, after all, it was pure luck to find the evidence in the end.

Mr. Du didn't think so.

Whether it was accidental or a fluke, the fact is that none of the experts, including myself, could see that this Qing Yongzheng Sacrifice Red Plum Vase was a high imitation, only Yun Zhou could.

It is a great credit for my little apprentice to save the reputation of everyone present and prevent counterfeit products from entering the market.

He looked at Yun Zhou with a smile, not feeling annoyed at all, but rather proud.

This is his apprentice, and his apprentice is the best!

As for the imitator, I believe that with Mr. Luo's ability, he will be able to find this person out.

Don't even think about disrupting the antique market in the future.

**

After Yun Zhou went back, he kept thinking about the surname 'Kan'. He always felt that he had heard it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it.

But there is no doubt that this person is a master counterfeiter with extraordinary skills, and his counterfeiting technology has reached the pinnacle of perfection.

He was very grateful that this person left a secret mark, otherwise even if he knew it was a fake, he would have no way to prove it.

Many people don't understand this approach. If you don't leave a secret mark, wouldn't no one see it?

But he can guess how much.

Because not reconciled.

The same top figures in the industry, such as Qi Baishi, Xu Beihong and other modern painters in the field of calligraphy and painting, their attainments and the value of calligraphy and painting works are not inferior to ancient masters of calligraphy and painting.

For example, Master Qi Baishi's "Landscape Twelve Screens" once set an auction record of 9.3 million (plus commission), which is the most expensive Chinese artwork in the world, and no one can surpass it.

And like porcelain, all the records set in the auction house are ancient ceramics.

For example, the Ru kiln sky blue glaze washer in the Northern Song Dynasty, the blue and white figure jar in the Yuan Dynasty, and the Chenghua chicken bowl cup in the Ming Dynasty, etc. The value of modern porcelain is far from that of these ancient porcelains.

Of course, there are also masters of ceramic art such as Wang Bu and He Xuren in modern times. Their works are also valuable, but they are still incomparable with ancient porcelain.

This is the market situation of the porcelain industry, and it is also determined by scarcity and historical culture. Rare things are more expensive.

After all, it is an unchangeable fact that precious ancient porcelain is rare in the world.

Just like this red-glazed porcelain vase from Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty, if there is no deposit, its value may only be tens of thousands of yuan, or even tens of thousands of yuan, which is a lot of loss compared with the cost.

Obviously, the craftsmanship has reached the highest peak, not inferior to the official kiln craftsmanship in the Yongzheng period, but it is only regarded as an imitation or fake, and the master porcelain maker himself is even unknown.

So these proud 'masters' are not reconciled, and will always leave a mark to prove their superb skills.

Actually used the wrong method.

If one can innovate in porcelain painting techniques and glaze colors and create one's own style, one can still become a true master of ceramic art.

Every industry has its own ceiling.

Although the ceiling of modern calligraphy and painting is dozens of times higher than that of modern porcelain, it is not a reason for imitation.

After all, a counterfeit is a counterfeit and cannot be authentic.

After thinking a lot in a mess, Yun Zhou looked at the time and saw that it was almost 12 o'clock in the evening, so he hurriedly took a shower and went to bed.

Tomorrow is Sunday, and he will continue to restore the porcelain.

When Yunzhou was about to restore the porcelain, Master Feng also appeared in the studio.

Now that the young man's restoration skills are getting better and better, besides giving pointers occasionally, he will also look up some ancient books here, which Emperor Fengdu specially prepared for his sweetheart.

Seeing Master Feng, something flashed in Yunzhou's mind, and he finally remembered where he had heard the surname 'Kan' before!

Master Feng's apprentice who made the imitation seems to have the surname 'Kan'.

It can't really be him, can it?

It was Master Feng's biggest regret that the skill of 'no trace restoration' was not passed on. He only mentioned it to Yunzhou once, so the young man didn't think of it for a while.

Yun Zhou hesitated for a while, but still planned to tell the other party, "Master Feng, when I attended the banquet yesterday, I saw a red-glazed plum vase from Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty, which was very realistic..."

He gave a brief description of the process, "When the porcelain vase was broken, we finally saw the words engraved in the red seal, which is the word 'Kan', the name of Kan."

Master Feng was silent for a long time before saying: "You already guessed it? He is indeed my second apprentice."

Yun Zhou gave an 'hmm' and waited quietly for the other party to speak.

Master Feng sighed heavily. When he was wondering which apprentice to pass on, the technique of traceless restoration was mature, and the two apprentices could learn a thing or two from his teaching.

It's a pity that the big apprentice has no understanding, and he didn't notice anything at all, he only knew how to work hard.

The second apprentice found it bothersome and hopeless, so he followed others to make imitations. Unexpectedly, he finally used the ideas he taught, but applied this idea to imitations.

It can be seen that it is useless to have a good understanding. If you don't follow the right path, you will ruin your future after all.

Master Feng sighed: "He hasn't heard from him since he left, and he didn't show up until I died. I didn't expect you to catch him right after he made a move. It can be seen that there is a destiny in the dark.

By the way, do you still have those broken porcelain pieces? "

"Yes, I brought back two pieces."

He handed the broken piece of porcelain to Master Feng, who checked it and asked, "When do you think he forged this piece of porcelain?"

Yun Zhou also saw the broken porcelain pieces, and added an inference about how old they were: "About five or six years ago."

Master Feng nodded: "Yes, more than five years is the safest time to make porcelain old, at this time the intensity of fire has already faded.

Just when he was about to make a move, you showed up with the traceless restoration skill, he should be testing you. "

Yun Zhou couldn't help but froze for a moment.

Master Feng: "If you don't see it, he can unscrupulously put imitations on the market in the future.

He probably never expected you to see it. After all, you are too young, and the traceless restoration has long been lost, and he believes in his craft very much. "

No one knew the conceit of the second apprentice better than him.

Maybe he planned to make a name for himself in a few years, but unexpectedly fell into Yunzhou's hands.

Master Feng couldn't help sighing again, it really is a destiny in the dark.

Two days later, Mr. Du told Yun Zhou that the counterfeiter had been found.

He didn't say much. Based on Mr. Luo's methods and the evidence in his hands, this person will never appear in the future, and there is a high probability that he will spend the rest of his life in prison.

**

After the banquet, the antique circle seems to have returned to its former calm.

Except Yunzhou here.

If we say who benefited the most from this banquet, it is undoubtedly this young man who is only 22 years old.

He is the closed disciple of Mr. Du, an appraiser who can sit in the same seat with several other experts, the most beautiful scenery in the charity auction group photo, and a rising star in the antique world.

In addition to these identities, what is most talked about is his deeds of picking up leaks.

The crow skin field purchased for 3 yuan actually unlocked nearly 300 million Tianhuang steatite seals, which was more than [-] times more!

Prior to this, it was still popular in the antique circle that the deeds of picking up leaks more than ten or twenty years ago, for example, XX missed the official kiln porcelain of the third generation of Qing Dynasty in the market, and XX found Bada Shanren's picture album when he went shopping in the countryside.

These stories are indeed enviable, but everyone knows that the environment 20 years ago is completely different from the present, and it is too difficult to catch a leak in the past two years.

There are still leaks.

A veteran with good eyesight bought a porcelain vase from the Republic of China at the booth today, and when the market was good the next year, he resold it and made tens of thousands of dollars.

But don't even think about it.

You thought it was a leak, but it was actually a trick.With the development of science and technology, the counterfeiting technology is getting higher and higher, and the people are getting more and more sophisticated.

In the information age, many things are transparent, and sometimes you can understand them just by checking them online.

Because of this, the deeds of Yunzhou spending 3 yuan to pick up yellow steatite in the missing field are particularly shocking.

What the antique world likes most is this kind of leak-picking story, and it is spread from this high-end circle, with high credibility, and it spreads faster than the wind in the circle.

"Old Wang, Old Wang, you are here, tell us about the leak at the banquet."

"Yes, I heard someone say a few words last time, but that person also heard it from others, and he couldn't explain clearly."

"It seems that 3 yuan earned 500 million yuan?"

"No, I remember more than that."

"What, more than 500 million?!"

"Not only that, it is said that it was picked up by a young man, only in his 20s!"

"Damn it, is it true?"

Those who didn't go to the banquet were scratching their hearts and lungs, and turned their attention to Boss Wang.

The other party was the best among their friends, and he was the only one who received the invitation from Mr. Du.

Boss Wang happened to be around when Yunzhou presented the congratulatory gift, and he knew the ins and outs of the matter clearly.

The 'Ming Dynasty Huanghuali Embedded with Hundred Treasures Plum Blossom Poetry Pen Holder' he brought over was also appraised by Yunzhou. He admired Teacher Xiaozhou's ability from the bottom of his heart, and thought in his heart that he must publicize it to the other party this time.

Boss Wang drank the tea that his friend eagerly handed over, and cleared his throat: "Let me briefly answer your question just now, the person who gave the gift is Mr. Du's closed disciple, Master Yunzhou, who is indeed only in his 20s.

And the congratulatory gift he gave to Mr. Du was the leaked Tianhuang steatite seal, which was worth nearly ten million yuan, and it was a treasure worth 20 yuan per gram! "

In order to tell a better story, he also went to check the price of Tianhuang Dongshi, and he was really shocked when he saw it.

He didn't know that there was such a valuable object before, and this time he has increased his knowledge.

"Hiss—" Boss Wang continued in a gasping voice.

"It starts with giving birthday gifts. For Mr. Du's 75th birthday, what I presented was the treasured wine from the cellar, and others also gave supplements.

Unexpectedly, the Shaw father and son presented official kiln porcelain worth 400 million yuan. Guess what purpose he has? "

"It's a waste of money. It's not a relative or a reason, I must have something to ask for."

"Yes. But didn't you just say that the one who picked up the leak was, Yun... Master Yunzhou?" Someone asked suspiciously.

Boss Wang showed a bit of displeasure on his face: "Isn't this not mentioned yet? If you only want to listen to the latter part, I won't talk about it before."

"No, no, we'd love to hear it. Anyway, I'm free this afternoon."

The others immediately echoed, the person just now was just expressing doubts, who wouldn't want to hear the full story?

Boss Wang, as a person in the business field, knows how to mobilize the emotions of 'staff'. He usually likes to read martial arts novels, and he immediately plays them.

The scene of Shaw's father and son pretending to be pretending and embarrassingly embarrassing after being exposed is particularly vivid; then it tells how Teacher Xiaozhou won the trust of others, and his professional explanation made people around the banquet nod frequently, which also made Mr. Du happy Laughing loudly, he justly rejected the congratulatory gift from Shao's father and son.

This explanation made several friends mesmerized and unsatisfied.

"Okay!!" After he finished speaking, everyone applauded, feeling even more excited than words.

"It's so cool, Teacher Xiaozhou is really amazing!"

"The Shaws and their sons are dying of laughter. If it was so easy to pick up the leaks, I would go to the antique market every day."

"That's right. I wanted Teacher Xiaozhou not to step down from the stage, but the congratulatory gift was much more expensive than him, and my face was swollen from the beating—"

"I'm so envious, I can pick up a leak whenever I want, not to mention 300 times, 3 times is fine."

"It's all about eyesight. Didn't I hear that Mr. Xiaozhou sat on the appraisal table? His eyesight must be extraordinary."

Before Boss Wang left, friends were still discussing this topic, and asked him for Yunzhou's contact information.

In the future, if they find something, they hope to ask Teacher Xiaozhou to take a look.

Mr. Du and these big bosses definitely dare not think about it. They don't even have the opportunity to attend the banquet, and it is even more impossible to invite the other party.

Boss Wang has a good relationship with these friends, and said bluntly: "I don't have any contact information, but Mr. Xiaozhou will be doing an internship in Zhenbao Pavilion before the end of the year."

"Oh..." Everyone nodded knowingly, remembering the name Zhenbao Pavilion in their hearts.

There are many ways to obtain antiques. Although Zhenbao Pavilion is the largest antique store in S City, not everyone has heard of it.

After Boss Wang left, a few people came to their senses.

"?!! So the master hasn't graduated yet!"

This situation is happening almost every day, and it has become a new hot topic in the antique circle.

Whether it is the legendary story of picking up the leaking yellow steatite, the exorbitant gift worth nearly 20 million yuan, or Yun Zhou's identity as an appraiser who is only in his [-]s, all of them are amazing.

Even Shao and his son were mentioned repeatedly, and became a joke in the entire antique circle.

Fortunately, this 'leaking' famille rose porcelain plate was donated to save some reputation, otherwise I don't know how long it will be talked about.

The charitable foundation released the donation list and amount that night.

The charitable donation of more than 2000 million is not a small amount. Except for fundraising for major disasters, it is rare to have such a huge amount of donations.

Therefore, this incident was widely circulated in the industry as a good story, and was forwarded by various caring people and public departments, calling on more people of insight to contribute their own strength to the people in trouble.

When Mr. Du made the donation, he also added Yunzhou's name, so it was written in the first column: Donors Du Hongcai and Yunzhou, with a donation amount of 1010 million yuan.

Even the photo of the dinner party was forwarded together, and the name and identity were noted on it.

Yun Zhou was particularly eye-catching among the elders, and immediately became the focus of everyone's attention.

[Woooooh, my little brother is so handsome, handsome, kind-hearted and rich, the best in the world! 】

[Excellent temperament, not inferior in a row of big shots, you can see it at a glance. 】

[I decided that if I want to marry into a wealthy family in the future, I will marry this kind of person! 】

[Wake up upstairs, that's my husband. 】

[This appearance, this figure, and this donation are no more fragrant than some celebrities, so I'm a fan first. 】

Without Yunzhou's knowledge, his social platform suddenly gained 10,000+ fans, while Shao Yuan's fans only increased by less than [-].

Under such a disparity in contrast, the Shao family's father and son were so angry that their noses were crooked. They invested so much money, but they didn't get any fame or fortune.

**

Yun Zhou didn't know about these things, and was still practicing in Zhenbao Pavilion.

The Treasure Pavilion at this time is even busier than before.

Shopkeeper Wu watched the big bosses in imposing clothes enter the store one by one, making tea in a hurry.

These were all identified by Yunzhou after he learned the address at the banquet.

"Teacher Xiaozhou, I am Liang Yue from Dingsheng Business, and you helped me identify the Guanyin Pagoda of Longquan Kiln at the banquet.

This time I brought another Longquan kiln Avalokitesvara niche, can you help identify it?Many thanks. "

Mr. Liang's tone was very polite. He obviously regarded Yunzhou as a real appraisal expert and would not despise him because he was young.

After the appraisal, he originally wanted to pay the appraisal fee, but the young man declined.

In this case, President Liang picked a pair of 'Qing Yongzheng blue and white alum red cloud dragon pattern small horseshoe plates' from the store under the introduction of shopkeeper Wu and took them away.

The market price of this pair of small porcelain plates with a diameter of only about 8 centimeters is about 12 yuan. At that time, the price was 9 yuan, which was equivalent to a net profit of 3 yuan.

Not only did Zhenbao Pavilion benefit, Mr. Liang also got a pair of authentic products that had been authenticated, and there was still room for appreciation in the future.

Shopkeeper Wu has to receive several such customers every day, and his status is not low.

Some even brought a few friends over to appraise seven or eight items at a time. Correspondingly, the items they selected were more expensive, at least hundreds of thousands or even millions.

At the end of the year, shopkeeper Wu looked at the half-empty bogu shelf and thought, it sold too fast.

I really hope that Yunzhou can stay in the store all the time.

Just when he was discussing with his boss, hoping to use the shares of Zhenbao Pavilion to keep him, Mr. Qiu also approached him.
