Chapter 425

In the face of these endless means of counterfeiting, Chu Chen sometimes sighs that the relationship between the antiquities appraisers and the counterfeiters is really a bit like a high road and a high devil.

Wu Ke drank a few mouthfuls of tea, suppressed the nausea, white Chu Chen one eye, said: "I say, since you know it's a fake, how can you still buy it?"

Chu Chen explained: "I did it to deceive him. Otherwise, how could he sell things to me at such a low price?"

Wu Ke Wen Yan asked: "how much are these things worth?"

"At least more than ten million, but bronzes like this, especially this Liuding, are not allowed to be sold in China. Besides Liuding, the other six pieces, if I guess correctly, should be smuggled out of China after being dug up by tomb robbers."

Seeing Chu Chen's displeasure, Wu Ke comforted him: "it's not worth getting angry for such a person. Besides, such a thing can only be managed by the state. Even if we have the heart to manage it, we don't have the ability to do so. You've done your best to buy things back. And you picked up a big leak. What's the matter with you? "

Chu Chen patted Wu Ke's hand and said, "well, let's not talk about it, but when it comes to picking up leaks, it's very likely that you've picked up a big leak today."

Wu Ke hears Chu Chen say so, some feel confused, strange ask a way: "what to mean to have picked up a big leak possibly?"

"That is to say, you need to confirm if you have picked up a big leak." Speaking of this, chuchen took the box with the colorful Necklace out of the bag with a smile.

Wu can see Chu Chen's action, immediately understand what's going on, she stammered: "you can't say, I bought this necklace will be true?"

"It's true. I have to see it before I know. Now I can only say that I have a great hope." Chuchen said with a smile.

Wu Ke really didn't believe her ears. She opened her mouth. She really didn't know what to say. She could only wait nervously and expectantly for the identification result given by Chu Chen.

Chu Chen used a magnifying glass to observe the five diamonds on the necklace, and at last he could not help showing his admiration.

For a diamond, its price is not determined by weight or color alone. The common international standard for a diamond is the famous 4C standard.

The so-called "4C" is the abbreviation of four English words beginning with C, which refers to the carat weight, clarity, color and cut of diamond.

For example, the weight of the diamond on the necklace is not to mention. The clearness is FL, the highest level of the diamond. This level refers to the diamond that is flawless inside and outside under the 10 times magnifying glass. In addition to the clarity, like the color is extremely white D level, and cutting is to achieve the most gorgeous color 3EX level.

It can be said that in addition to the weight, this diamond is completely better than the African star.

The other four colored diamonds are also top-notch in quality and cutting. Although these colored diamonds are small, they are relatively rare. For example, the annual output of pink diamonds only accounts for one millionth of colorless diamonds, and few of them are large.

Therefore, although these colored diamonds are only a dozen carats, their value is no less than that of the diamond in the middle.

After observing the five diamonds carefully, Chu Chen brings the necklace directly to Wu Ke's neck. With the support of this colorful necklace, Wu Ke's beauty is like a fairy princess. Chu Chen can't help but praise it: "looking back, you can't help smiling, six palace pink is colorless!"

"Don't recite the poem. You are talking about whether the diamond on this necklace is natural or not." Wu Ke asked anxiously.

Chu Chen nodded with a smile. Seeing this, Wu Ke immediately looked silly. After a while, she still asked with a face of disbelief: "ah Chen, are you sure all the diamonds on this necklace are real?"

"It's true, of course, and it's top quality and cutting." Chu Chen very affirmative answer way.

Wu Ke got a positive reply and said with a dull face: "it's impossible. Diamonds are not antiques. How can someone really sell them as fake?"

Chuchen said with a smile, "it's very simple, because man-made diamonds are very similar to natural diamonds. Like ordinary people, they can hardly tell the difference with the naked eye."

Wu Ke carefully holds up the diamond on the necklace. In addition to feeling that the diamond is more gorgeous, he really doesn't find anything different from those artificial diamonds just now.

"Really, I just feel like diamonds are more gorgeous. I really don't see anything different from those fakes just now."

"It's right to think it's gorgeous. If it's not gorgeous, it's not natural diamond."

Chu Chen explained: "if it's a fake diamond, from the perspective of reflectance, its reflection is weak and the light is dark, that is, its flash power is not strong. Therefore, the fake diamond is certainly not as gorgeous as the real diamond. For example, the top of a real diamond has strong reflectance, especially in strong light or sunlight, it can reflect colorful and brilliantHearing this, Wu Ke immediately went to the window and put the diamond in the sun. At that moment, the eye-catching color made her look obsessed.

"Is there any other difference?" After a while, Wu Ke turned and asked.

"There must be. We can observe with a 10 times magnifying glass that natural diamonds are not only polished and smooth, but also have sharp edges, while fake diamonds are round and easy to grind."

Chu Chen then said: "in addition, the hardness of a diamond is ten, while the hardness of a fake diamond is generally not so high. If you use the sharp edge of a real diamond, such as a diamond knife, to cut a deep groove, it is a fake diamond. If you use a fake diamond to draw a real diamond, you can't move it. If you use a real diamond to draw each other, you can't move it. Do you think we should try to buy a real diamond

Wu Ke shook his head and said, "I don't want it! Even if it's not a real diamond, I like this necklace very much. What if it's broken? Ah! I'm not saying that your eyesight is not good. I mean, instead of buying a real diamond, it's better to have a scientific appraisal. It can save more money! "

Chu Chen nodded and said, "it's true. Although my eyesight is good, I'm not very proficient in diamond identification. It's better to make a scientific identification."

"Forget it, I believe you very much!" Wu Ke held Chu Chen's arm and said, "I won't rest assured if I give jewelry worth hundreds of millions to those who don't know him! Besides, I won't sell this necklace. It doesn't matter if I have an appraisal certificate. "

"Yes! Listen to you Chu Chen also agreed with Wu Ke. Since things are real, what does it matter if there is no identification certificate. If the future generations really want to sell this necklace, let them worry about the identification certificate!

After going to the bank for safe deposit box business, they went back to the market.

It's past 9:30, and there are more people in the market. It can be said that there are a lot of people in the market. The situation is quite similar to that of domestic market, but the goods sold are exchanged for more valuable goods.

When they passed the stall where they were sold necklaces, Wu Ke went up and looked for them again. It seemed that he wanted to see if there was anything that could be found. Of course, there was no accident.

As they walked past the stall they had just visited, they came to a stall for stationery. The stall owner was a young foreigner with blond hair and blue eyes. Imagining the situation when the stall owner wrote with a brush, Chu Chen always felt a faint sense of disobedience.

Wu Ke pointed to a leaf like thing and asked, "eh, ah Chen, what's this? It's so lovely!"

What they didn't expect was that the stall owner could speak Chinese, and the Chinese was quite fluent, and it sounded like a capital accent.

"It's called" pen "or" pen inkstone ". It's used to check the shade of ink or straighten out the brush. It's often made into the shape of flake leaves. Miss, the pen you are pointing to is also called Xiangsheng porcelain. It was created during the Qianlong period in your country. It is usually made of flowers, fruits, insects and small animals. Its size is similar to that of real objects. This kind of Xiangsheng porcelain is mostly used by the royal family, officials and scholars

Chuchen said with a smile: "boss, you have sold antiques in Panjiayuan, Beijing!"

“NONONO！” The stall owner waved his hand and said, "I used to open an antique shop on the other side of Hongqiao. But for my father's death, I would still open that antique shop now."

Chu Chen was a little surprised when he heard that he was just joking. He didn't expect that the stall owner had really opened an antique shop in the capital, which was more disobeying than the stall owner's writing with a brush.

Not to mention that chuchen was surprised, even Wu Ke was surprised.

The stall owner was not surprised to see their expressions. He explained with a smile, "I've loved the history of your country since I was a child. Later, when I had the opportunity to get in touch with antiques, I thought I liked them very much, so I opened an antiques shop. At the beginning, many people, like you, thought it was incredible for foreigners to open antique shops in China. "

"In fact, I don't think I'm the same as you. I'm a native of Beijing, and I live in Beijing for three or four months every year. By the way, it seems that the two accents are also from Beijing. Since they are villagers, what do you like in a moment? I'll give you a discount! "

"Thank you, boss!" Chu Chen said thanks with a smile on the surface, but in his heart he was a little bit perplexed. How could this stall owner's words be the same as the one just now? It seems that he has practiced with the domestic antique dealers for a period of time!

After thanking him, Chu Chen picked up the tree leaf pen he had just mentioned.

It looks like an autumn leaf, with dark veins. The edge of the leaf is rolled into a shallow wall. The whole body is covered with pink and blue glaze and decorated with dark brown beetles. The shape is vivid, lovely and interesting. In addition, at the bottom of the petiole, there is a blue and white model year, which is "Qianlong year system" seal script.

After careful observation, Chu Chen confirmed that the pen was indeed a genuine product from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, so he asked: "boss, how can I sell this thing..."
