Antique Dealer

Chapter 115 The Reason
Lao Hu was also full of embarrassment, apologized to Qian Min, and quickly followed out, catching up with Tian Yingqiu.

"Xiaotian, you were too careless just now. Why can't you even see the type of things correctly?" Lao Hu couldn't help venting his dissatisfaction. If this matter got out today, people in the bureau might say what to say about him in private!
Tian Yingqiu was also very depressed, and in the final analysis, he could only be blamed for his carelessness: "Uncle Hu, I was really wrong about this matter today, and it made you feel ashamed too. Don't worry, I will take Brother Yi's matter to heart I will definitely help him with it.”

Seeing what Tian Yingqiu said, Old Hu's dissatisfaction dissipated a little.

Tian Yingqiu said with a smile: "Uncle Hu, I need to trouble you, try not to spread the matter today, okay?"

"Now you know it's embarrassing?" Lao Hu couldn't help muttering in his heart, but after all, he had to ask someone, so he had no choice but to agree.

Back in the room just now, Fang Hao and others left, just smiled at Qian Min, didn't say much, and then began to seriously appraise.

Seeing Fang Hao's unhurried attitude, Qian Min became more and more satisfied. The next step is to look at the appraisal result given by Fang Hao. If there is no problem, the candidate will be decided.

After a while, Fang Hao gave his conclusion that this bronze ware is a high imitation.

"The erythema patina on the surface of normal bronze wares, the white rust-soil combination is naturally distributed, and the patina is distributed continuously in the shape of small hills. The shape of the patina particles in Hunyuan just reflects that the green rust is squeezed out from the erythema. It is the result of many years of action. Its growth is like mushrooms growing from the trunk, showing the form of corrosion, corrosion and crevice corrosion.

However, the surface of this bronze ware looks exactly the same as that of the real one in most places. This is because the maker adopted the method of transplanting rust, transplanting or inlaying the ancient rust on the bronze ware to the surface of the imitation. However, After a certain processing.

But the fake is not true. Careful observation shows that the rust-soil bonding layer on the surface of this bronze ware is mixed with cast corrosion and mud like dry powder. Comes off easily. "

Having said that, Fang Hao put the tool he used just now on the table in front of Qian Min: "This is a Charles color filter, which is very effective in identifying the authenticity of patina, and all patina will not be visible under the filter. Discoloration. Most of the various pseudo-rusts made with those green and blue chemical pigments will turn red under the color filter, you can try it in this position.”

Qian Min was very curious when he heard this, picked up the Charles filter, and observed the position of Fang Hao's finger, and sure enough, the discoloration phenomenon occurred, which was not mentioned by the previous appraiser.

Next, Fang Hao pointed out some minor problems with this bronze ware. It was the first time Qian Min heard about a few problems. Now he finally understood why Zhu Junda admired Fang Hao so much.

At the end, Fang Hao said with emotion: "Although I can find out some problems on this bronze ware, it is also based on the current special environment. If it is a normal transaction and the other party arranges it specially, I may be fooled, let alone some I am not as good a collector as I am.”

Fang Hao is not being modest in saying this. Since it is an exam, there are naturally only two possibilities: true and false, and Qian Min even mispronounced the name on purpose. There is a high probability that there is something wrong with this bronze, so he will naturally be more careful. On one occasion, the seller arranges a favorable environment, or he is greedy, etc., the probability of being deceived is very high.

Qian Min smiled and said, "That still can't escape your eyes."

Fang Hao smiled modestly and said, "Captain Qian, I wonder if I have passed the exam?"

Qian Min smiled and said: "Of course it passed, and it was impeccable. Next, I will tell you about the criminal suspect, but you must sign a non-disclosure agreement. Once signed, if you leak the secret in the future, If you cause the suspect to escape, you will have to pay the legal responsibility, I hope you will think carefully about it."

"No problem!" Fang Hao agreed directly. If he wants to get something in return, he must pay, and if this task is over, Qian Min will give him the relevant certificate of a special cultural relic appraiser. With this certificate, it is equivalent to Having an official endorsement for his identification ability can save some unnecessary trouble.

Du Youhao is the owner of "Jijinzhai", an antique shop in Xijing.

In ancient times, sacrifices were regarded as auspicious rituals, so the bronze sacrificial vessels were called "auspicious gold".Later, as the collective name of Zhongding and Yi wares, the book on ancient wares in the Qing Dynasty was often called "Ji Jin Lu".

This Jijinzhai specializes in bronze wares, such as tripod, zun, jue, goblet, goblet, cup, jar, gui, yi, beans, etc., all kinds of bronze wares fill the whole room, and the styles are all before the Qin and Han Dynasties. According to Du Youhao, the bronze wares after the Qin and Han Dynasties cannot be put on the table in his place.

Du Youhao told the frequent visitors that he could come to him whenever he wanted the bronze wares, and he could find them in a day or two at least, or a year or two at most.

Because of this, Du Youhao's Ji Jinzhai is quite famous in the Xijing circle. Some people may say, Du Youhao is so high-profile, isn't he afraid of the police coming to his door?
Presumably, smart friends have already thought of it. The bronze wares in Du Youhao's store are all new. He even admitted that he has a workshop dedicated to making bronze wares.Moreover, before the buyer made the purchase, Du Youhao also explained in advance that the items here were all new and he only bought them if he felt acceptable.

Bronze wares before the Qin and Han Dynasties were not allowed to be traded, otherwise they would be found by the police, and it would be light to go to jail.

But if this is the case, why is Ji Jinzhai's business still very good, and why do big bosses often patronize it?Du Youhao said that as long as he paid enough money, the bronze wares he made could be faked.

A professor from the archeology department of a well-known domestic university didn’t believe it, so he went to order a bronze tripod at a high price. When it arrived, he was surprised to find that it was clearly the genuine one. .

In fact, the police also regarded Du Youhao as a key target at the beginning, but they never found out that he was selling real bronze wares. Over time, they just let him go.

After receiving the professor's call to the police, the relevant personnel were very happy, thinking that they had caught Du Youhao's cheating feet, and this bronze tripod indeed looked very much like the real thing.

But Du Youhao was there at the time, so he didn't panic at all. He even called friends. Under the witness of everyone, he used an X-ray machine to perform a "physical examination" on the bronze ware. The utensil itself is in a state of separation.

Such a result made the professor who called the police dumbfounded, and finally left in despair, and because of this incident, Du Youhao's reputation was completely established. For a period of time, he even rejected buyers because of too many orders. .

However, the professor didn't give up. He believed that Du Youhao could make such a high imitation bronze ware, and he must have real bronze ware in hand for comparison. At the same time, he didn't believe that Du Youhao only sold fakes.

Qian Min picked up his teacup and drank a few sips of water: "Professor Jin has a stubborn personality and can bear his temper. After two or three years of investigation, he did find some clues, and also discovered that there is a very huge interest behind Du Youhao." The net is covering him."
