"It's not cost-effective to have a master painter, but don't forget that with the development of science and technology, you can use the computer to print the design of the real product, and then you can achieve the effect of the real product."

Chu Chen said: "it's just like the appreciation of porcelain. In the past, people who are good at calligraphy were asked to imitate it. No matter how high the level is, it's difficult to have both form and spirit. Now with computers, counterfeiters have made timely use of this modern technology. They can write money by computer, not to mention 100 percent, but they can do both appearance and spirit. "

After listening to Chu Chen's explanation, it goes without saying that Li Guiheng was depressed and depressed. He frowned tightly, thought about it, and said, "if this plate is made in recent years, how can it be removed?"

Chu Chen said, "it's easier..."

In the past, there were three ways for imitators to remove the light on porcelain: "grinding", "plate" and "flushing". However, these three methods are either time-consuming and laborious, or ineffective.

today's imitators are much better than in the past. They use more scientific methods to remove the light of porcelain.

The first method is to use high-speed spray gun to spray the fine sand evenly to the glaze, so that you can not see the flaws even if you use a magnifying glass. The second method is to add appropriate zinc oxide into the glaze when glazing, and the porcelain just out of the oven has no floating light. This method deceived many people at the beginning.

Another way is to use advanced laser tooth washing equipment and small machines to process porcelain. Even experts can make eye-catching imitations.

There are many other methods like this. Some experienced experts, let alone some instruments, can't tell the truth.

After listening to Chu Chen's explanation, Qi Baofu sighed: "now technology and information are much more developed than before. A lot of knowledge and experience in identifying antiques can also be found on the Internet. However, with the development of technology, there are more and more counterfeiting techniques. It's really impossible to prevent them!"

Everyone agrees with what Qi Baofu said, especially Chu Chen, who has been an antique peddler for several years and has been in the industry for the longest time among the four.

For example, when he first joined the society, there were fakes, but compared with now, there were more ways to make fakes.

For example, Flint red used to be the basis for the identification of yuan and Ming porcelains. In the past, imitators made flint red, or applied paste glaze, or painted with color. In short, the method was crude and easy to see through.

But now, after careful research and testing, ceramic scientists have come to the scientific conclusion that flint red is due to excessive iron oxide in porcelain clay. This research result was immediately used by imitators. They added iron to the porcelain clay, and then burned a vivid red flint. This time, many people were deceived.

At that time, he bought a Ming Dynasty porcelain made with the latest method of flint red, which cost a lot of money. As a result, when Wu Shu saw it, he poured cold water on it.

Chu Chen said: "therefore, we must often go to the antique market to study the fakes in the market, so as to reduce the chance of drilling."

Everyone nodded repeatedly, indicating that they would remember what Chu Chen said.

A moment later, Li Guiheng said, "this, Mr. Chu, is my colorful birthday dish a modern imitation?"

"It should be..." Chu Chen introduced the characteristics of Kangxi five color porcelain to you. It can be seen that this so-called "Kangxi" five color birthday plate has many flaws.

"Ah Li Guiheng sighed a long time, some dejected said: "this time my husband will be nagging for a long time."

Qi Baofu patted Li Guiheng on the shoulder and said, "Lao Li, things have already been like this. You should take a cut and learn from it. As for your family, it's not the first time that you've been told in recent years. It's gone after a while."

Li Guiheng said angrily: "what you said is light. It's thousands of yuan. It's the first time I've hit such a big eye. I don't know how to tell my husband."

As I said earlier, Li Guiheng is just a working class. He doesn't have money without Qi Baofu. Moreover, his wife still controls the financial affairs of his family. For Chu Chen and Qi Baofu, a few thousand yuan is nothing at all. For him, but he has hidden his private money for a long time. How can he not feel distressed when his son is gone?

It is precisely because of this that he has not been willing to believe Chu Chen's judgment before.

Qi Baofu thought of something and quickly said: "by the way, you'd better not think about how to tell your wife. Do you think about what you've bought from the place where you still sell this thing to you?"

"No!" Li Guiheng was stunned by the speech. He quickly stood up and ran into the inner room. After a while, he came back eagerly with something on his face and said, "Miss Chu, I still have a few things in it. Please help me to have a look at these things first."

"OK..." Chu Chen nodded.

Among the things that Li Guiheng brought over was a piece of porcelain, a jade pendant and an inkstone. Among them, the jade pendant and inkstone are genuine, while the porcelain is a modern imitation, which may be bought by Li Guiheng according to the porcelain pieces.Although the two items are genuine, if the porcelain is also valued as genuine, the value of porcelain is basically equal to that of the other two items, and Li Guiheng will undoubtedly lose a lot.

Fortunately, the value of things is not very high. The market price of the porcelain is only about 4000 yuan. If Li Guiheng bought it, he would not have lost so much. In this way, he did not lose much.

Of course, for Chu Chen and Li Guiheng, a few thousand yuan is a large sum. When he heard the appraisal results given by Chu Chen, he was really crying. What made him feel extremely depressed was that he later took two pieces of porcelain, and they were all compared with fake porcelain pieces. The result is self-evident.

Together with the colorful birthday plate just now, the total market value of the four porcelains should be around 30000. Although Li Guiheng didn't spend so much money, he also spent more than 15000.

You know, it's only 2002 now, and the average salary of the employees in Beijing last year was just over 18000. Besides the monthly living expenses and Li Henggui's monthly medical expenses, the 15000 is already the vast majority of Li Henggui's private money saved in recent years. Can he not feel heartache?

Perhaps a friend would like to ask, in this case, how did Li Guiheng enter the antique industry? The reason is very simple. First, Li Guiheng really likes antiques. Second, the industry of antiques has been full of all kinds of stories about picking up leaks. As for the story that so and so lost his fortune because of drilling, few people will mention it.

In this case, it is reasonable for Li Guiheng to have the idea of making a fortune, so he decided to join the "collectors" army without much consideration.

Looking at the dejected Li Guiheng, Qi Baofu, as a friend, doesn't know how to persuade him.

Chu Chen broke the dignified atmosphere of the scene and said, "Miss Li, I'd like to help you sift the porcelain pieces in the box."

Li Guiheng opened his mouth. Because of today's experience, he just had the idea that he would never touch antiques in the future. However, he felt very unwilling. Finally, he decided to get up from where he fell.

Seeing that Li Guiheng was still in a daze, Qi Baofu said, "Lao Li, what are you thinking? Isn't it ten thousand yuan that will bring you down? "

"Is Li Guiheng so easily defeated?"

Li Guiheng sneered, and then he said gratefully to Chu Chen, "teacher Chu, please."

"You're welcome. It's just a hand." Chu Chen waved his hand and began to pick out the fakes mixed in the middle of the porcelain.

The authenticity of the porcelain pieces is very obvious. In addition, the porcelain pieces sold to Li Guiheng are not high-end goods that confuse the fake with the real. Soon Chu Chen picked out all the fake porcelain pieces.

Looking at the pile of fake porcelain pieces on the ground, Li Guiheng's anger came up. He said angrily: "no, I can't swallow this breath. MD is still a distant relative. He cheated me like this. It's really not a thing!"

Although Qi Baofu is not ashamed of the seller's villain behavior, he doesn't even know the rules of the antique shop like Li Guiheng. He said, "Lao Li, if you calm down, even if you go to him, can he return the money to you according to the rules of the antique shop?"

Li Guiheng immediately let out his anger, but he had a flash of inspiration in his mind. He suddenly thought of something and said with a smile: "yes, I've got the other three things. But this colorful birthday dish, he vowed to tell me it's genuine. Can he return the money to me?"

Chu Chen and others couldn't help looking at each other. Qi Baofu was surprised and said, "Lao Li, you can't remember wrong. He knows it's a fake, but he tells you it's a real one. Is there something wrong with his brain?"

Li Guiheng said with a smile: "he must have no problem with his brain. It's just that I had only a few thousand yuan of private money on me at that time. I didn't want to spend all of it on buying this porcelain, so I shirked it several times. It's estimated that he was worried, so I said this."

Qi Baofu said: "if he really said that, this plate can be returned, but don't forget that it's not so easy to get your money back from such a person who likes deviant ways. What can you do if he doesn't admit it at that time and you don't have evidence?"

Li Henggui said with a smile: "who said I have no evidence?"

Qi Baofu was surprised and asked, "didn't you record the words at that time?"

Li Henggui said with a smile: "I don't like singing. I was practicing recording when he came that day. At that time, I forgot to turn off the recorder and recorded that part of the speech. With this evidence, I see what he can say!"
