The real daughter is reborn, and the whole family is buried in the crematorium. It's reasonable

"Speaking of this white porcelain seated Guanyin statue, I have to mention an old friend of mine..." Mr. Wan said.

Mr. Wan’s old friend, Mr. Deng, is not a member of the antique circle and has no other hobbies in his life except walking his birds.

One morning, he took his parrot to the park for a walk and met a young man sitting in the corner of the park setting up a stall. The thing he was selling was this white porcelain seated Guanyin statue.

At that time, there were many old men and women who liked to take a morning walk watching nearby, so Lao Deng went over to join in the fun.

There were a few people among the crowd who seemed to be knowledgeable and said that this white porcelain seated Guanyin statue was a work by a Ming Dynasty master and was very valuable, and they competed to bid.

Although Lao Deng was not an expert in the business, he thought the seated statue of Guanyin was very exquisite. Influenced by the atmosphere on the scene, he joined the bidding without thinking and finally bought it for 50,000 yuan.

I regretted buying Lao Deng.

He had heard many stories from Mr. Wan about being cheated before, and he was worried that he had been cheated, but was too embarrassed to tell Mr. Wan, so he went online to find a reputable and seemingly formal auction company to help with the appraisal.

Lao Deng was actually prepared to be cheated, but who knew that the auction company would send him the appraisal certificate the next day.

The certificate states that this white porcelain seated Guanyin statue is a genuine Ming Dynasty Dehua kiln porcelain, with an estimated value of over six million.

Old Deng was hit by this huge pie and couldn't recover for a long time.

Five million is his entire life's wealth.

But Lao Deng was not carried away. After he calmed down, he felt that something was not right. If this was a rare item, why was the young man willing to sell it for 50,000 yuan?

So he contacted several appraisal companies, but they all got the same answer. One company even gave an estimated price of 10 million.

Old Deng now completely believed that he had found a bargain.

He originally wanted to show off to Mr. Wan, but before he could even make the call, he was bombarded with inquiries from several appraisal companies. They all hoped that Lao Deng would put the white porcelain seated Guanyin statue up for auction on their website and were willing to charge a minimum commission.

Old Deng hesitated for a while, then entrusted the white porcelain seated Guanyin statue to the auction company that offered the highest estimated price.

Old Deng originally thought that he could sit back and relax, just waiting for the auction to end and the money to arrive in his account.

Unexpectedly, within a few days he received a request from the auction company asking him to pay a series of fees including catalog fees and service fees.

Lao Deng didn't think much about the subsequent transaction price and paid the fees one by one according to the other party's requirements, totaling about 30,000 yuan.

However, after the money was paid, the auction was delayed. Lao Deng began to panic and went to inquire about the auction company. The reply he got was that the auction company felt that his white porcelain seated Guanyin statue was extremely valuable and was going to send it for auction overseas. The transaction price would be at least 1.5 times higher than that in China.

When Old Deng heard this, he thought it would be beneficial to him and agreed immediately.

The auction company then sent him a link and asked him to fill in his account information to facilitate overseas transfers.

Lao Deng had completely fallen into the trap set by the other party. He didn't think much about it until he realized something was wrong after the operation. But by that time, all the savings in his account had been transferred away and the auction company could not be contacted. He finally realized that he had been cheated.

While calling the police, he went to find Mr. Wan with the white porcelain statue of Guanyin in his arms.

After learning from Mr. Wan that this was a low-quality imitation, Old Deng was so furious that he almost sent the patient for emergency treatment.

After Old Deng woke up, he took Old Wan's hand and burst into tears.

He had heard Mr. Wan talk about many scams in the antique circle before, but he didn't take it seriously at the time, thinking that he would definitely not be the one to be fooled. Unexpectedly, he would end up following the same old path.

General Wan finished his story with a sigh, "Just this imitation, which we think is not very good, has caused my old friend to lose tens of millions. These counterfeiters are really despicable, and the auction company that uses counterfeits to steal money is hateful!"

Most of the people present were experienced experts who would never fall for such a low-level trick, but they also couldn't guarantee that they would never be fooled.

With the development of science and technology, it is possible that one day we will be able to produce fakes that even they will find difficult to distinguish. At that time, it will definitely have a huge impact on the antique market.

Because no one can guarantee that the product you identify as authentic is authentic.

After listening to Mr. Wan's story, they felt quite heavy-hearted.

Mr. Yu even turned his head and glared at Liu Xuan.

He felt that if Liu Xuan encountered this incident, he would definitely be fooled. After all, he couldn't even tell the authenticity of this white porcelain seated Guanyin statue.

Liu Xuan lowered his head awkwardly, not daring to refute.

At this moment, Yu Sheng's attention was all on Old Liu.

Because Old Liu's face looked a little ugly, his palms were tightly gripping the armrests, and the blue veins on the back of his hands looked particularly obvious.

After a while, he sighed heavily and said in a deep voice: "Those online auction companies should also be rectified."

As soon as Elder Liu finished speaking, a hint of surprise first flashed across the eyes of the others, and then a look of delight appeared.

"What Lao Liu said is right. It's time to clean up the market!"

"It's those scum who made the circle so chaotic!"

"If it were you, I would arrest all those people who dare to open auction companies without business licenses. Let's see if they dare to exploit loopholes to make profits!"

"..."

Mr. Wan secretly revealed a look of relief.

The reason why he brought up this matter here was that he hoped that Mr. Liu would notice this illegal behavior and take measures to stop it.

Elder Liu has now abdicated, but his influence has not diminished. Now that he has spoken, the matter is half done and Elder Wan's wish has been fulfilled.

Mr. Wan’s story has been told and all the people who will be attending the exchange meeting have arrived.

Mr. Pu stood up and spoke briefly, and the exchange meeting officially began. The first activity was to display the collections that everyone brought.

In addition to the white porcelain seated statue of Guanyin, Mr. Wan also brought a round box with a red peony pattern from the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty.

The history of Chinese lacquerware can be traced back to the Neolithic Age and reached its peak during the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

The most valuable color in lacquerware is red, and red-carved lacquerware is the finest lacquerware.

The Palace Museum in China has a Ming Yongle carved red lacquered round box with double dragon and peony pattern. It is somewhat similar in appearance to the peony round box brought by Mr. Wan, but the craftsmanship is more exquisite.

Of course, Mr. Wan's piece of Ming Yongle red lacquerware is well preserved and is a very rare masterpiece. It won unanimous praise from the senior experts present, which made Mr. Wan very proud.

After Elder Wan, it was Elder Liu's turn.

Old Liu asked the driver to put the box he had been holding on the long table in front of him, and slowly said, "This thing I brought is not as good as Lao Wan's red lacquerware, please don't despise it."
