Chapter 604

Xu pangzi, who was in the mood, immediately proposed to his friend that he should buy this porcelain pillow. But my friend heard that Xu wanted to buy the Buddha statue back, but he refused to sell it!

Then, my friend continued to talk about the culture and collection value of this Buddha statue, and the process of his painstaking efforts to invite it home. His words revealed his deep love for this Buddha statue.

Some people just think that what they can't get is often the best. At that time, fat man Xu didn't need money. For him, the money to buy a Buddha statue was drizzle. Therefore, even if he made some money, it was not attractive to him. But who told him to like it?

And the more the other party didn't sell, the more he wanted to buy. So he began to use his hard and soft skills, and constantly offered to buy. As a result, his friend said, "I don't want money, I'm playing with cultural taste.".

Listen to a friend say so, Xu fatty thinks that a friend is a real player, and cultural taste is a good thing for him. Who says he doesn't have much culture? As a result, it strengthened his determination to collect the Buddha statue.

However, after that, he continued to increase the price and took the initiative to talk about his cultural taste, which made his friend relax and invited the Buddha back home for 400000.

Listening to the cause and effect of the incident, Chu Chen secretly shakes his head. The deception Xu pangzi encountered is the most dangerous and common method of antique trap, which is called packaging propaganda.

In order to publicize, the swindler specially writes a paper and publishes it in famous journals and magazines. But in most cases, it is the swindler who pays a high price to publish Monographs in famous publishing houses and then publishes them to the society, giving people a sense of orderly circulation. Even some cheaters simply go to TV stations, newspapers, books and other media to do packaging publicity.

After the cultural relics are packaged and publicized in this way, the famous publications and famous publishing houses will all publicize this thing. It should be no problem and spread orderly. In addition, the auction houses will be willing to accept and have reason to accept the things introduced by the swindlers.

What's more, some cheaters still have the signature of the so-called "experts" when they publicize, which has a great influence on the masses, and the selling price is also very high, and the relative losses of the victims are also very heavy.

In fact, it's easy to crack this kind of scam. First of all, you should be calm and rationally analyze this thing. You can't just rely on seeing magazines and newspapers to verify that the thing is true. You'd better invite experts with practical experience and ability to seriously analyze and identify it. You can even get it to the testing agency for comprehensive analysis.

In this way, they can generally avoid being attacked. However, the swindler Xu met was more clever. Instead of using the method just mentioned, he used an antique magazine from the 1980s.

This has two advantages. First, it can be done without a lot of money. Secondly, it can make fat Xu careless, because in many people's eyes, the 1980s is still a relatively simple era, and what is written in magazines is unlikely to be false, which is obviously what fat Xu thinks.

Of course, there are limitations in using this move. If the opponent is an old player or has read this magazine, he may be seen through by the opponent. However, Xu pangzi is just a new novice who can't be any more new. This move is very suitable.

Afterwards, Chu Junfeng said in silence: "I said Xu fatty, you are too easy to cheat, aren't you? Didn't you expect to show it to others? "

Xu pangzi said bitterly: "I believed him very much at that time. Besides, there was a magazine introduction, so I didn't doubt the authenticity of things at all!"

After a while, he still asked: "San Shao, is this Buddha really a fake?"

"It's really a fake, and it's a shoddy fake."

After that, Chu Chen picked up the Buddha statue and then explained:

"it was the characteristic of the Mid Tang Dynasty that the Buddha statue was used as a saying seal. At that time, after Wu Zetian changed the Zhou Dynasty, in order to publicize its legitimacy, she called herself Maitreya "Xiasheng", vigorously advocated the worship of Maitreya, popularized the theory of seal modeling, and even applied it to the modeling of other Buddha statues. This has been shown in several Grottoes throughout the country, and they are all works of the prosperous Tang Dynasty with chronology to examine. "

"From the point of view of the face, this Buddha statue has a high nose and forehead, thin lips and curly hair. This style is the style of the early Northern Wei Dynasty, because the Buddha statue was not long introduced into the Central Plains at that time, so it was also influenced by Gandhara art and Matura art, and its face and posture still follow the South Asian style."

"But your Buddha's face belongs to the style of the early Northern Wei Dynasty, but others are the style of the middle Tang Dynasty. The difference between the two is 18000 Li. Do you think it may be an authentic one? Moreover, this Buddha statue is only made by modern machines, and the gilding on its body is also chemical gold. That's why I say that it's a fake made of crude and rotten materials. "

"No, I spent 400000 at that time!" Fat Xu really wants to cry without tears.

Chu Junfeng can't laugh or cry and said: "I said Xu fatty, not 400000, you don't have to look like this!"

Fat man Xu said with a bitter smile: "in the past, 400000 was nothing to me, but now 400000 is a relatively large sum for me."

Hearing this, Chu Chen chuckled to himself. Even if the statue was put up for auction, it would not be more than 200000 yuan at most. If he bought it for 400000 yuan, he really regarded it as a big injustice. However, seeing how fat Xu looks now, Chu Chen would not stimulate him any more.In addition, Chu Chen also thought that since the swindler had made Xu fatty more than 600000 yuan, it was impossible for him to cheat Xu fatty only this time. Sure enough, Xu fatty quickly said, "three little, look at these two things. I bought them from him before."

Two things, respectively, is a jade ornament and a white porcelain printed flower pattern plate.

The jade ornament looks antique. It's carved from white jade. At first glance, the jade is very lustrous, and the shape looks exquisite. There is a big and five little pigs carved on the ornament, which is called wuzhu. It is a unique work theme in Ming Dynasty. It symbolizes the happiness of the whole family, many children and happiness, promotion and wealth.

The other dish has a round mouth, shallow arc wall, flat bottom and short ring feet. The whole ware is white glaze, the glaze is yellow, and there are traces of flowing glaze on the outer wall. The inner wall of the plate is decorated with two string patterns along the edge, the lower edge is decorated with rolled grass and peony patterns, and the inner part of the plate is decorated with Kaiguang Huiwen for a week, with rolled grass and tangled lotus flower patterns.

Chu Chen looked carefully, then shook his head and said, "this jade ornament is not right."

Although Xu pangzi had psychological preparation before, his heart was as haggard as chuchen said.

Chu Junfeng took a look at the jade, and then some strange asked: "I think this thing is not bad, how can it be fake?"

"It's true that jade is genuine, but it's made of Russian jade. There are three reasons why it looks good: imitation of old workers, partial dyeing, fire baking and waxing."

Chu Chen explained: "the imitation of the old is very simple, as long as you use antique tools and low-speed processing traces of the imitation of the old mound. As for the black part, it is dyed black by fire. This identification is very simple. If it is a real white jade with ink color, there will be a clear boundary between black and white. If it is made by fire, there will be no distinction between black and white, and it is easy to appear Cracks and reticular stripes. "

"The last step of waxing is to put the jade in the burnt wax, so that it will look shiny. Anyway, this jade ornament can only be used to deceive new people. If you have a little knowledge of ancient jade, you can basically judge it. "

Chu Junfeng chuckled and said, "so I like to see antiques, but I really don't like to step into this business. It's obvious that what looks real is fake, and I feel headache when I listen to the winding inside. Fat man Xu, I think you'd better not do this thing in the future. If you really want to buy it, you can go to my third son's shop to buy it. He's a good kid. "

Fat man Xu sighed and said with a gloomy look: "yes, my wife told me before that she told me not to play with this thing. She said that I can't play with it because of my brain. Sure enough, two things cost me three million yuan. It's really killing me!"

"However, San Shao, this Ding kiln plate can't be fake. I took it for scientific appraisal. The appraisal report says that the plate is indeed from the Northern Song Dynasty, and its style is the same as that of Ding kiln."

Chu Chen said: "this plate is indeed from the Northern Song Dynasty. It can be made in Ding kiln, but it is not a orthodox Ding kiln. It is made in the mouth of Tu Ding kiln."

"What is tuding?" Xu asked quickly. At this time, he had an uncertain premonition in his heart.

Chu Chen explained, "this custom-made product refers to the imitation custom-made products of folk kilns in the vast areas of Fenhe and Zhanghe River basins, except the central kiln of Quyang Ding kiln. The raw materials and technology of tuding are the same as those of Ding kiln. The reason why tuding is called tuding is that the raw materials are not processed precisely, the carcass is thick, the sound of percussion is not clear, and the decoration is simple or without ornamentation. "

"Because the raw materials of porcelain clay in these areas are essentially the same as those of Ding kilns, they are not only the same in shape, utensils and decorative patterns, but also the same in carcass and enamel. But since it's called tuding, its rough workmanship can't be changed. You can see that the carcass of this plate is too rough compared with the real Ding products, and its biggest flaw is that the sound of percussion is not clear. "

Said this inside, Chu Chen also gently knocked the plate several times, as expected and he said, the voice is misty.

At this time, Xu pangzi really wanted to cry without tears, but then he thought, since the thing is really from the Song Dynasty, it's worth some money. So he asked hopefully, "San Shao, since it's true, it's worth something, isn't it?"

Chu Chen replied, "if you want to say that your tuding large plate is also a fine product made by tuding kiln mouth, but tuding is a folk kiln work after all, and the production process is slightly rough, and the market price is not high. In terms of the appearance of this large plate, it is probably worth 1000 or 2000 yuan."
