Chapter 3201 Find the root cause
Ji Changsheng's sudden appearance surprised everyone present.
Although Mr. Ji Changsheng's reputation is not a household name in Yangzhou, he is definitely known to everyone in Yangzhou's collecting community. Anyone who collects or is involved in collecting knows about this Taishan Beidou in Yangzhou's collecting community.
In Yangzhou, Ji Changsheng's name is the absolute authority. When Ji Changsheng wanted to get this Ruyi bottle, the three waves of people present were surprised, but their expressions were different.
It didn't matter to the appraisal center. They had paid the appraisal fee anyway, and the things didn't belong to them. It wasn't up to them whether it would impress Ji Changsheng or not. They could only watch from the sidelines.
The buyer feels extremely honored. Although he has received the certificate from the appraisal center, if Ji Changsheng’s approval and evaluation are available, the value of this object will definitely increase by several levels. The old man is the Taishan Beidou in the collection world, so he always invites you. If Mr. Ji praises this thing, it will be hard for him not to appreciate it in value!
Normally, there is no chance to pay a lot of money to ask Mr. Ji for an appraisal. Today, he came uninvited. It is definitely a good opportunity that is difficult to find even with a lantern. How could he refuse?
However, as the seller, they became nervous.
They know best what's going on, and they also know Ji Changsheng's name. If he catches his eye, wouldn't that reveal the truth?
The seller's expression was cloudy and hesitant, while the buyer tried his best to encourage him. The seller really had no choice but to grit his teeth and agree. It would be impossible not to agree. The buyer hadn't given the money yet. If he didn't agree, it would be worse than agreeing. The big deal is about to fall through. Isn’t their hard work in vain?
Moreover, not agreeing means that they are guilty. If word spreads, no one will dare to do business with them, and the losses will be even greater.
Besides, although Ji Changsheng is famous, these counterfeiters have never had contact with him after all. Who knows whether Ji Changsheng's reputation is in vain?
In addition, they have confidence in their counterfeiting skills. After all, their products are not strictly fake. If Ji Changsheng can't tell it, then his participation is equivalent to giving them free advertising, which will boost their future business. It will definitely be more prosperous. Thinking of this, the seller finally agreed to Ji Changsheng's request.
The old man put on his gloves and gently picked up the Ruyi bottle. Just feeling the weight on his hand, Ji Changsheng knew something was wrong.
Then, the old man didn't look carefully at all, he just pinched the mouth of the bottle and flicked it gently. Hearing the echo from the porcelain, the old man frowned.
Turning around and looking at the person in the appraisal center, Ji
Changsheng said: "What is your appraisal result?"
"Qing Dynasty, Jiaqing period, authentic folk kiln." The person in charge of the appraisal center said confidently.
The old man raised his eyebrows: "Are you sure?"
Seeing Ji Changsheng's expression, everyone present felt unsure.
The old man asked about the identification method of their instruments. When he learned that they gently scraped a little patina from the Ruyi bottle as a sample for scanning and identification with the instrument, the old man smiled.
Later, Ji Changsheng suggested taking another sample from the mouth of the bottle and scanning it. Maybe there would be a surprise.
The seller's face changed drastically after hearing this, and the people at the appraisal center were in a dilemma, but the buyer expressed strong support.
From Ji Changsheng's words, the buyer had already smelled something. Therefore, he expressed his willingness to pay the appraisal fee and put on the instrument again. If someone paid for it, there must be no problem with the appraisal center. The seller was extremely embarrassed, but he had to hold his nose and agree. .
The next step was the work of the identification center. Following Ji Changsheng's suggestion, they re-extracted samples from the mouth of the bottle and scanned them. The results were quickly obtained. However, this time the results were very different from the previous identification results.
The first appraisal result was that it was a genuine folk kiln from the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, but this time the appraisal result was that it was a modern handicraft, produced seven months ago.
boom!
Seeing the inconsistent appraisal results, everyone present was shocked. The buyer broke out in a cold sweat. The people in the appraisal center widened their eyes and looked confused. But when everyone was about to look at the seller's expression, It was discovered that the seller had already fled.
The result was obvious that the item was fake. Later, Ji Changsheng explained to the buyers and the people at the appraisal center based on his own experience, and broke the Ruyi bottles and re-scanned them in batches. The results confirmed the old man’s judgment that the Ruyi bottles were indeed genuine. Completed by splicing and restoring some authentic fragments and modern porcelain, this conclusion surprised everyone.
No matter how shocked they were, with the results and evidence, Ji Changsheng immediately realized the seriousness of the problem. After leaving the appraisal center, the old man did not even return home. He said goodbye to his companions and bought a plane ticket to fly directly to Tiandu City alone.
In the evening of that day, Ji Changsheng appeared in front of Kong Fanlong, the general consultant of China's history and archeology.
Although Ji Changsheng knew the trick, he knew that his influence was still too small. He was still unable to break the current chaos in China's collection world on his own. Therefore, he came to Tian Capital City, please ask Kong Fanlong to come forward. With Mr. Kong’s status in the archaeological and collecting circles, his words will definitely be answered by hundreds of people. Ji Changsheng's sudden appearance surprised everyone present.
