Chapter 1264: Recover damages
Ye Tian nodded with a chuckle, and then began to explain why.
"This is indeed a high imitation Yongle blue-and-white plum bottle. I am sure that I am very confident in my own vision.
The object it imitates is the Ming Yongle blue-and-white plum vase with a lotus pattern in the collection of the National Museum. It is a very famous Ming Yongle blue-and-white porcelain, which is extremely valuable.
On the basis of the Ming Yongle blue-and-white plum bottle with entwined branches and lotus pattern in Guobo, this high imitation blue-and-white plum bottle has been slightly changed. The small mouth is changed to an open mouth, which is very confusing!
When I returned to Beijing to celebrate the Chinese New Year, I carefully admired the national treasure in the National Museum of China, and was fortunate to personally identify it. It can be said to be very familiar, and I still remember it still fresh.
Brother Zhang, since you love antique art collection, you must have seen the national treasure porcelain in the National Museum of China. Take a closer look. What are the similarities and differences between these two blue and white plum vases? "
Before he could finish his words, Brother Zhang leaned down impatiently, his eyes widened, and he began to look carefully at the high imitation blue and white plum bottle that was placed on the table and almost ruined his family.
With Ye Tian's hint, when he looked at this high-imitation blue and white porcelain, Zhang Ge realized that it was wrong in the blink of an eye, and everything was flawed.
"I'll go! The pattern of the entwined lotus pattern on this blue and white plum bottle is exactly the same as the pattern on the Yongle blue and white plum bottle in the National Museum of China Museum of Art. It looks like a copy!
One more thing, the changes at the mouth of this bottle are rather blunt, and the ratio between the mouth and the body of the bottle is not in harmony. I am such a great hammer! I haven't found such a big flaw! "
Zhang Ge said suddenly, and he was going crazy with regret.
Of course, his expression was also very embarrassing, his face flushed, and he was a little embarrassed to look at Ye Tian.
With my extremely scumbag appraisal skills, I am embarrassed to say that I am a collector of antique art, which is really a shame!
Ye Tian felt like he hadn't seen Zhang Ge's extremely embarrassing performance.
He has seen too many antique art collectors like this, who is full of self-confidence and is actually a stick, and he has seen too many antique art markets everywhere.
When Brother Zhang's mood calmed down, Ye Tian immediately smiled and continued:
"In addition to the ratio of the blue and white lotus pattern and the bottle body, you can look at the blue and white blooming of this porcelain. Is it a bit unnatural? Is the level of blooming slightly insufficient?
Ming Yongle blue-and-white porcelain uses imported ‘Su Ma Liqing’, which is similar to Yuan blue-and-white. The hair color is easy to faint, and the fading is very natural, just like traditional ink painting!
Because of the high iron content of "Su Ma Li Qing", there are often iron rust spots and tin light in the blue and white patterns. Although there are iron rust spots on this porcelain, it is bitten out by acid and floats on the surface.
In addition to its high iron content,'Su Ma Liqing' also contains extremely high cobalt oxide, with purple in blue color, and marks like ink slag. This causes the special fetal eating phenomenon of Yongle Blue and White.
You gently touch the body of this porcelain with your hand, especially the decorative parts, to see if there is a noticeable depression. That is also a distinctive feature of Mingyongle blue and white,..."
While Ye Tian talked about it, Zhang Ge was very serious about verifying this piece of porcelain one by one.
As time went on, his face became more and more ugly and embarrassed, his eyes full of despair, and a little bit of self-confidence.
After Ye Tian finished describing his identification basis, Brother Zhang also finished the identification, completely giving up.
After taking two deep breaths in succession, this Tianjin elder brother raised his head and looked at Ye Tian with red eyes.
"Take it! Brother really took it, Ye Tian, you are worthy of being the top antique art appraisal expert. This appraisal skill is really amazing. Brother, I am a great mallet!"
As he said, Brother Zhang clasped his fists and arched his hands, full of admiration.
Ye Tian also clasped his fists and arched his hands, and said with a polite smile:
"You are too enthusiastic, Brother Zhang, I have seen a lot of good things, and dealt with a lot of things, coupled with a little bit of savvy, then I slowly developed it.
‘Watch more and buy less’. If you have kung fu, you’d better go to top museums such as the Forbidden City and the National Museum of China, and take a look at the fine collections. I believe you can also practice! "
Brother Zhang gently shook his head, and said in dismay:
"If you want to become an expert in antique art appraisal, you will definitely need extraordinary talent. Obviously, brother, I don't have this talent, so I won't be wishful thinking!
By the way, Ye Tian, you just said that this matter has slowed down, do you have a way to change the current result? If there is a way, you must show your brother clearly.
To be honest, in order to buy this tattered thing, my brother smashed most of the savings in the house. If this is irreparable, my brother will lose out."
After speaking, he looked at Ye Tian eagerly, his eyes hot and full of expectations.
The same goes for his wife and children not far away, looking at Ye Tian expectantly, still tears.
Ye Tian nodded with a chuckle, and then said:
"Brother Zhang, you just said that when the foreigner antique shop owner introduced this high imitation blue and white plum bottle to you, he said that this is a very good Chinese antique porcelain, very worthy of collection, is that correct?"
"That's right, that's how the dead foreigner introduced it at the time. I remember it very clearly, and it is certain that my wife and daughter were both on the scene and heard it.
Our French translator and other visitors in that antique shop at that time all heard our conversation, including both Chinese and foreigners! "
Zhang Ge gritted his teeth and nodded and said, giving an affirmative answer.
Hearing his answer, Ye Tian immediately said firmly:
"This is over! What I just said is slow, and the reason is that, as long as you can confirm this and obtain consistent testimony from all the witnesses, you are very sure to recover the loss.
Fortunately, the antique liar was the owner of an antique shop, not a street vendor at a flea market somewhere. He was able to find his shop and determine the identity of the antique liar.
The trading rules of the European and American antique art markets are slightly different from those in the domestic market. In the domestic market, if you win the eye, there is basically no possibility of regaining the loss, you can only accept it!
The European and American markets are different. Since he clearly told you that this is an antique porcelain, but what he sold you is a high imitation porcelain, there is no doubt that he has constituted a crime of commercial fraud.
Hearing this, the eyes of Brother Zhang and his family immediately lit up, like searchlights.
The despair and frustration in their eyes began to quickly dissipate, and soon disappeared, replaced by hopeful eyes and high morale.
Although they were extremely excited and rekindled hope, they did not interrupt Ye Tian's words, but listened patiently.
After a short pause, Ye Tian continued:
"Brother Zhang, there are a few things you need to do next. Immediately hire a professional lawyer, and then go with the lawyer to collect testimony, and ask those witnesses to testify for you.
Take this high imitation porcelain to an authoritative testing agency to do a scientific test, such as a carbon 14 test, to determine the age when it was fired. Then, you can sue the antique liar!
According to my estimation, the possibility of a reconciliation outside the hall is very high. If the antique liar wants to eat in this industry, he would never want this to be made public.
In that way, you will be able to recover your losses. Of course, you may have to bear a legal fee and related scientific testing costs, or you may also delay your trip.
When confronting the other party, if you can be tougher, you might be able to pass the legal fees and testing fees to the antique liar. This is undoubtedly the best result.
Since you don't often deal with lawyers and don't know much about European and American laws, I can ask my lawyer to come forward and introduce you to a professional lawyer specializing in commercial fraud.
As for the cost of hiring lawyers, you don’t have to worry about lawyers asking wildly. It is definitely the fairest price in the EU market. I can assure you about this.
Before the words fell, Brother Zhang cheered excitedly.
"Awesome! Ye Tian, thank you for your advice, and thank you for your help. I will sue the grandson for trying to cheat me. There is no door!"
Ye Tian smiled softly, and then said:
"In order to be foolproof, you'd better contact the Cultural Counselor of the Chinese Embassy in Brussels and ask them to help you stand up. Those in the embassy will certainly not refuse.
After contacting the cultural counsellor of the embassy, meeting with the lawyer, and preparing for the work, don't forget to contact the media and police in Brussels, as well as the various Chinese media in Brussels.
China's relations with the European Union and Belgium are quite good, and European countries want to attract more Chinese tourists. For the sake of maintaining the tourism image, Belgium will not sit idly by.
It is important to remember that ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ must create momentum. Only in this way can it attract more attention, exert tremendous pressure on the antique liar, and facilitate the smooth settlement of the matter.
If you need me to issue an appraisal conclusion, you can contact me directly. Although this is Europe, I am very sure that no one can ignore and overturn the appraisal conclusion I gave! "
"hiss--!"
There was another air-conditioning sound in the swan restaurant.
Everyone including Brother Zhang's family was shocked by Ye Tian's big hand, and looked at him dumbfounded, with eyes full of incredible.
This product is so cruel, it is ready to kill people as soon as it is shot. Looking at this posture, it is not intended to leave the antique liar alive!
Just when everyone was frightened, a waiter in the Swan restaurant brought the awake Bordeaux red wine and walked over to the table of Ye Tian and the others.
The episode of identifying antiques is over. Next, it’s time to enjoy wine and food!
