Chapter 0314 – Folk Treasure Appraisal (III)

“This young lady, if you still have doubts. Please take this bracelet and go to the National Jade Inspection Center at No. XX Road XX, Chaoyang District, Beijing to have it appraised, I can have them give you a free appraisal.”

Facts speak louder than words, after that woman heard Zhuang Rui’s words, her face showed a look of both shame and heartache, the shame was that she had just exited her mouth to hurt someone, but this young man had slapped her with the facts, and the heartache was naturally the 30,000 dollars that she had spent to buy the bracelet.

“Mr. Zhuang, I’m sorry for ……, I’m really sorry for you.” The woman was embarrassed to take back the bracelet, bent down like Zhuang Rui bowed, hurriedly walked off the stage and disappeared in the crowd.

Zhuang Rui stood up and said to all the people who saw this scene: “All friends, all collectors, you come here to participate in this activity, naturally, you hope that your own treasures are real. However, although our country has a long history, left behind a lot of good objects, but for this collection group now, that’s much less, in the antique market to buy fakes and forgeries, are also very normal. It is not something to be ashamed of, even those of us who have had the experience of paying tuition fees for eyeballing. I hope that collectors can set their minds right and take the appraisal results seriously, not because the things are fake, and have doubts about our expertise, we will also use our own expertise to help people identify the authenticity of the objects in their hands.”

“As for the antiques we can’t tell the real from the fake, will also tell the truth, let the collectors go to do further testing, please believe in our professional ethics, absolutely will not say the fake is real, also will not arbitrarily to judge a real antique is fake, I’m going to say is all this, thank you all!”

After Zhuang Rui finished speaking, he bowed deeply to the stage, the people on the stage were thinking about his words, after a minute or so, I don’t know who took the lead to applaud, then the conference room applauded like thunder, for a long time can’t stop.

Most people will have such a kind of psychology, that is, their own things, they can say bad, but can not hear others say.

To use an analogy, it’s like a friend complaining all day long that his child is naughty and doesn’t know any better, and he says it’s okay if you say, “Yes. That son of yours is so uninformed.” You have to say this, even if your friend and you do not break the friendship, I am afraid that in the future will also be alienated from you.

Antiques are the same, who does not want to spend money to buy antiques is real ah? But after all, the world’s antiques, fake to more than really hundreds of times or millions of times, naturally, the chances of buying a fake will be greater than the probability of finding a treasure, Zhuang Rui’s words are also a wake-up call to these people in the field, do not be too obsessive.

Now play collection, although there is no lack of speculation, but with a few years later, compared to the relative rationality, heard Zhuang Rui words, these people also learned something.

Thunderous applause rang for more than three minutes before the host intervened, slowly stopped, but the crowd on stage looked at Zhuang Rui’s gaze, but it was full of admiration.

Although the host said the back of the collectors can not be appraised today, but surrounded by people outside is not one to leave, after all, watching here, can also rise a lot of insight.

Zhuang Rui did not know that after this program was broadcast. He is also in the domestic antique line, also played his own name, at least a lot of collectors, in the heart is recognized Zhuang Rui this expert’s name, of course, these are all words later.

After the applause stopped, the Beijing station’s Liu Jia holding a microphone said: “Dear guests, friends, experts have been continuously appraisal of two hours, please experts retreat to rest for half an hour, and then continue to appraise the treasures in your hands for everyone.”

The voice of the male host of the Shandong station immediately followed: “In addition to row behind the friends, today is certainly unable to carry out on-site identification of the treasure, tomorrow morning at eight o’clock, the experts of the Beijing expert group, will continue to carry out the treasure identification activities for all of you.”

After the host finished, there are staff over to lead Zhuang Rui and others to the side of a lounge, Zhuang Rui okay, only identified two or three objects, but the other several people are tired not light, fat man in the air-conditioned conference room, busy with the body of the long shirt is almost all drenched in sweat.

“Xiao Zhuang, good, solid basic knowledge, adaptability is also strong, you are alone out, can also calm the scene.” After arriving at the rest room, Fatty Jin wiped his sweat and gave a thumbs up to Zhuang Rui, this kind of situation today. They often encountered it, even if Zhuang Rui didn’t come out, there was still a solution.

“Mr. Jin, you’ve encountered this situation before?”

“Hey, there are more things like this, but it’s all caused by some human factors, and in our circle, there are so many people who make false claims for the sake of a few dollars.”

Hear the fat man’s explanation, Zhuang Rui only understand over, the original with the rise of the collection of hot, identification of the industry has also risen, then, a variety of folk cultural relics appraisal institutions such as spring thriving up.

These organizations and personnel under the banner of “xx committee”, “xx association”, some of which are “theory can not be linked to practice” of the old school, some of which are “Actual no theoretical basis” of the antique experts, and more are willing to pay money to open the certificate of “Mr. Good”.

Just as the University of the Westpac spoiled the reputation of many U.S. universities, antiques, a variety of certificates, so that there has been a tradition of forgery antiques market, more “chaotic”. “Fake is not necessarily fake, really is not necessarily true” stir up the muddy water. It is this all kinds of appraisal organizations.

Fatty Jin drank a mouthful of water and said with a smile, “Now the most important need for identification is not actually the people’s hand antiques, but to these antiques to open the certificate of the ‘experts’ We are a few, but also in the ranks of counterfeiting.”

Zhuang Rui was fat man’s words are dumbfounded, according to so, appraisal of antiques experts, is not to open the “proof of this expert for real” certificate it?

However, after the fat man said, Zhuang Rui heart of the resentment is also much less, appraisal of the market of good and bad, it is no wonder that the collectors will produce distrust.

In fact, Zhuang Rui just that fire hair show. There is also a little bit tricky, with hair wrapped around the glass, if wrapped a little bit tighter, one or two seconds will not burn off, some merchants will use this trick to deceive consumers, but if the burning time is a little bit longer, you can still distinguish the true from the false, so with this method of identifying the authenticity of the jade, or feasible.

“Xiao Zhuang, you are under the tutelage of Old Brother Ma from Zhonghai, so you should be no stranger to porcelain, right? Turn back to the objects on my side, you help me look at them as well, there are just too many things today, it’s a bit too busy.”

Tian Fan researcher from the Palace Museum, this is also very tired, rested on the sofa for a while before slowing down, today’s field of things, in addition to paintings and calligraphy, it is the number of ceramics antiques more, of course, most of the things can only be called a modern crafts, Tian Fan just looked at the twenty or thirty porcelain, only a vase during the Daoguang period is true, but some of the mutilations, the market price is also The market price is also greatly discounted.

Zhonghai De uncle’s porcelain restoration, in the country are very famous, for the appreciation of ceramics, but also has its own unique, is why Tian Fan spoke out to let Zhuang Rui will help him look at some of the objects, it is clear that Zhuang Rui with their own actions, to win the real recognition of these experts.

Half an hour of rest time is very short, basically is a drink of water, chatting a few days work, a staff member came out to urge, the experts can only appear again, this time on the scene, although there is no re-introduction of experts. But when Zhuang Rui appeared, it was a long time of warm applause.

Originally the most idle Zhuang Rui on the stage, after the second wave of treasure appraisal began, but became the busiest person, I do not know these jade holders, just now are hidden where to go, now have emerged, a variety of exquisite jade endless, which there is no lack of fine products.

Like a white jade trigger finger of the Qing Dynasty, it is expensive, this thing is meant to be a tool for pulling the bow and shooting arrows with a string, set on the right thumb of the shooter to protect the shooter’s right thumb from being strangled by the bowstring of the special artifacts, but later was seen as a status symbol.

This trigger finger inside the aura is white, but very thick, and the quality of jade is also the top grade white jade, after Zhuang Rui appraisal for the authenticity of the general manager of the money according to the market trend of its similar antiques, gave a price of 300,000 yuan.

See identified the real object, and the value of a lot of money, the crowd under the stage is the crowd of feelings, making Zhuang Rui also more busy, but this thing, as long as you know the true and false in advance, you can always say some reason to.

Zhuang Rui first with the aura to identify the authenticity, if the inside of the aura abundant, thrown to the money to valuation of the certificate, if the aura lack of objects, directly pick out the faults and treasure holders, the other side is also convinced, compared to Zhuang Rui this side of the circle of the largest number of people, but it is the fastest one of the identification of the treasure.

With the passage of time, this afternoon’s folk treasure appreciation activities also gradually entered the end, but the host did not announce the end of the treasure appreciation activities, the scene of the collectors is still no one left, but is more and more gathered.

Suddenly, is identifying ceramics Tian Fan spoke up and said: “a few people, put the hands of the object first, to see this thing.”

Although it is said that there are specialties, but these experts for their own specialties outside the antiques, there is still some understanding of each other can also give a little advice to, Tian Fan since he opened his mouth to ask for advice, obviously this thing is a little interesting, Zhuang Rui and others have put down their hands, to him to look at.
