It is not uncommon for a top-notch customer like Xu Zhendong, but whenever he meets such a person, he doesn't know how to tell him well. If you tell him the truth bluntly and say that this is something that is so fake that it can't be fake, he will not only not listen, but will also speak ill of harsh words like he just said to Zhou Xia.

Zhou Xia is not bad. It can be said that he is young and has little knowledge and cannot recognize him. However, Huang Guodong will definitely call him a master like Xu Zhendong, a sacred family, and the like.

Xu Zhendong is a person who can't sit still. He comes to the company for a walk without any trouble. Everyone is convinced of him.

Zhou Xia stood up and said to him with a smile, "I really feel sorry for snatching Master Xu's business today."

Xu Zhendong laughed and said, "I wish you could receive customers like this just now. Because I really don't know how to communicate with them. It feels like people living in two worlds."

Customers like Huang Guodong came to him directly without making an appointment or seeing the photos first. Zhou Xia probably was from Donghai.

If he had to go through the primary election, such collections would not be sent to the company at all. If he was a foreigner, he would have to waste time and travel expenses.

There are many customers who come here without any appointments, and the auction company generally won’t turn them out, which can be considered as free appraisal.

"By the way! Xu Yaohui gave me a cursive script from Zhu Zhishan yesterday. You chose it with him!" Xu Zhendong first recognized this and called his son Xu Yaohui's name. "With his ability to appreciate works, it is really not easy to buy such good things. ~~

Zhou Xia replied modestly, "Uncle Xu is much better than me in this regard. I just followed him to play soy sauce and experience gangsters. I didn't practice calligraphy well when I was a child, and the appraisal of calligraphy works was entirely based on my feelings. I don't know many of the words on Zhu Zhishan's cursive script!"

Xu Zhendong said, "Zhou Xia, you don't need to belittle yourself. Just write more and read more. I have carefully studied that cursive script. It is indeed the original work of Zhu Zhishan. I like it very much. It is rare that Xu Yaohui has such a heart. It costs a lot of money to buy this painting!"

Zhou Xia asked, “Didn’t Uncle Xu tell you?”

"He just knows how to change the topic randomly and refuses to tell me the truth. Zhou Xia, tell me how much it cost. Don't fool me with the story of discussing the bargaining story!" Xu Zhendong stared at him and said, he understood that Xu Yaohui might be embarrassed to tell it himself, but for Zhou Xia, this should not be a problem.

Zhou Xia knew that he would definitely not be able to escape, so he thought about it, "I guess he might be worried that Master Xu, you will not accept it, so he didn't talk about the price of it. In fact, there is nothing that cannot be said about this, it's all a family. I was also present at that time. Uncle Xu spent a total of 980,000 yuan on two paintings, and Zhu Zhishan's 800,000 yuan."

"The price is quite fair!" Xu Zhendong is also an old expert. He is a must for appraisal every day, and valuation is also a must. He also has a good understanding of the market conditions.

"I also feel that it is too difficult to find a bargain in the hands of those experts." Zhou Xia said it was difficult, but it was not impossible. He picked up a pair of Pan Tianshou's "Orchid Stone Picture" from the old Wang.

Xu Zhendong said, "I dare not expect to find a bargain. I am thankful for Xu Yaohui to buy me the authentic products. Now these experts have not only many modern high-quality imitations, but also a considerable number of old imitations. When they are rashly buying goods, they have never encountered such old imitations, especially those of the same era as the authentic ones."

Zhou Xia laughed and said, "Master Xu can know the world without going out. It's true that we have seen several works, whether it is paper, ink, seals, etc., which are very contemporary, but I feel that paintings and calligraphy are somewhat incompatible with the original author, so I didn't dare to buy them in the end."

"It is a good thing to be cautious when you take action. The price of this art work is not lower than that of porcelain. If you are not careful, you will risk taking medicine, especially when you have just entered the industry and can't figure out the depth of the water." Xu Zhendong preached to Zhou Xia seriously.

Zhou Xia nodded and said yes, and he knew the risks. With the same funds, he might be more willing to invest in porcelain.

No customer has sent anything, so Xu Zhendong chatted with Zhou Xia and exchanged some experiences. Of course, Zhou Xia asked Xu Zhendong a lot of advice. They didn’t have to worry about the preparations for the autumn auction, but they were happy and free.

After a while, Yu Xiaoyu led another customer to make an appraisal, and the customer was holding a small brocade box in his hand.

When Zhou Xia saw the size of his brocade box, he couldn't help but start to estimate it. It should be a piece of porcelain inside, and the shape of the box should be a bowl or plate.

It doesn't matter if he is dazed, but Yu Xiaoyu is a little embarrassed.

Zhou Xia and Xu Zhendong are both here. It is better for these two senior appraisers to ask who should do the appraisal?

However, Yu Xiaoyu also had a way to deal with it. She introduced the two senior appraisers to the new guest named Wang Ming, so that they could get a headache by themselves.

Wang Ming was in his forties. He carefully put down the brocade box, then shook hands with the two senior appraisers with extraordinary enthusiasm, saying that he would be lucky, and that two experts would be more confident in how to identify it.

Then they asked them to help sit down and appraise. Before Xu Zhendong could speak, Zhou Xia asked him to do the appraisal first.

Xu Zhendong didn't be polite to him and asked Wang Ming to take out the things first.

Wang Ming carefully took out the things inside again. When Zhou Xia saw this thing, he immediately said, "Oh! Not bad, oil drip cup!"

Wang Ming smiled and said, "Yes, the oil dripping cup from the Song Dynasty!"

Zhou Xia asked him "Mr. Wang, have you seen the authentic product of the Song Dynasty oil dripping cup before?"

Wang Ming was stunned for a moment, not knowing what Zhou Xia asked about this. And there, Xu Zhendong had already started to make an appraisal.

Although it is unknown, Wang Ming still answered Zhou Xia and said, "Before I met this oil drip, I really had never seen the authentic product of the oil drip."

After Zhou Xia asked, she also had some details in her heart, in Zhou Xia's opinion.

"If you don't know the truth, how can you know the false?"

If there are not many genuine products, if you want to buy genuine products, the chance will be relatively low.

Zhou Xia is fine now, so he continues to ask him where he got this thing.

Wang Ming also understood that this was a necessary process, and the auction company was afraid of receiving stolen goods. Moreover, in the antique industry, the origin of this must be explained clearly. At this moment, he replied, "This was when I went to Henan for a business trip. The family received what I received from my fellow villagers there. I finally spent a lot of money to buy it. If it weren't for my son getting married and wanting to buy a house, I wouldn't want to sell such good things, so it would be best to keep it for myself."

After hearing his words, Zhou Xia couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for him in his eyes.

Then, he asked Wang Ming about some common sense about oil dripping cups. Zhou Xia himself also had considerable research on oil dripping cups. After all, he made a living by identifying porcelain.

Such oil droplets are a shape similar to oil droplets formed by the non-melting part of iron trioxide at high temperature firing at 1100 degrees.

Wang Ming also had some understanding of this oil drip cup, but his understanding was only limited to the surface.

Zhou Xia estimated that he might have bought this thing and returned to make up for his knowledge.

This is very similar to the experience of most collectors. Rather than studying, it is better to say that they are looking for reasons for identifying the collections they bought as true. Because subjectively, they have regarded this thing as genuine, so the reasons and evidence found are actually not reliable. Everything seems to be true, and some evidence that is inconsistent has been obviously ignored by them.

After the two of them were talking, Xu Zhendong had already made an appraisal.

His identification speed is quite fast, but Wang Ming was talking so hard that he didn't pay much attention to this.

"Zhou Xia, why don't you?" Xu Zhendong said to him.

"Okay!" Zhou Xia felt that it was still necessary to go and take a look.

Wang Ming couldn't help but ask, "Master Xu, how about this treasure, it's the real one!" Xu Zhendong replied, "You can still see it!"

He actually said this, but Xu Zhendong didn't have to worry. It would be really difficult for Zhou Xia to identify such things. If he could even get into such porcelain, it would be too ridiculous.

After hearing this, Wang Ming couldn't help but feel a little nervous in his heart and asked him for more specific appraisal opinions.

Xu Zhendong said, "Let's talk about it when Zhou Xia's appraisal is completed. By the way, do you think your thing is an oil drop cup from the Song Dynasty. Do you think it was from the kiln?"

Wang Ming hurriedly replied, "I think it is the oil droplet of Cizhou Kiln. Look, the oil droplet is so beautiful, just like the stars in the sky. Moreover, the oil droplet is relatively uniform, and the body may be a little loose, but this happens to be a typical Cizhou Kiln style."

Xu Zhendong smiled and said, "It seems that you still have a good understanding of Cizhou Kiln."

Wang Ming said modestly that he could learn more from experts.

On this side, Zhou Xia carefully took the oil drop cup.

In fact, at the first sight of him, Zhou Xia identified the authenticity of this porcelain. Zhou Xia was like this, and Xu Zhendong was like this.

Although the oil droplets in this oil droplet are pretty, this effect can be achieved even in an oil droplet.

If you look closely, you can clearly see that the oil droplets on the oil cup are actually quite unnatural. Moreover, although this piece of porcelain is not as eye-catching as a new thing and has a terrible light, the things on it are obviously marked by old signs.

There is no need to read the bottom of the body. You know the craftsmanship of the foot, let alone the tire protection, it’s a mess.

Because such a black glaze oil drip cup has no glaze on the bottom, you can see quite clearly what the body is. For experts who often identify porcelain, such things are definitely fake at a glance.

Zhou Xia took a few casual glances and had no intention of wasting time on it. Like the so-called Yongle blue and white porcelain boiled water bottle, he didn't need to ask the system to do an appraisal. Zhou Xia was not even sure whether the number of appraisals was limited. It would be better to use fake things like this at a glance, so it would be better to avoid system dependence.

Seeing that Zhou Xia had finished the appraisal, Wang Ming came over and asked him what his opinion was.

Zhou Xia didn't mind being a villain, but at this time, it would be better to remind him more tactfully. If he couldn't stand it, in the end, Zhou Xia himself would suffer.

"I think this thing is more reliable and the oil drops are more beautiful. Mr. Wang took it home and used it for tea." Zhou Xia replied.

Wang Ming suddenly became anxious, "I want to send it to the auction. My son is still waiting to use the money to buy a house!"

Zhou Xia said, "Our company's current autumn auction collection activity has ended. If the spring auction is in, we have to wait until April and May next year. If we want to receive the payment, it will probably take June and July. If you are anxious to use the money, it is better to find another way."

Wang Ming said, "That's nothing. Anyway, my son will have some time to get married, so I can still wait for this time."

Zhou Xia was a little helpless. He looked at Xu Zhendong and found that his expression was helpless. He said this, but why did Wang Ming still not understand it!

Zhou Xia decided at the moment that it would be better to point it out to him.

He also said, "Mr. Wang, I think! If you buy a house, it's better to find another way to raise funds."

Wang Ming then recalled it. It turned out that they identified that this thing was fake.

He became even more anxious when he came, "Is this oil droplet my mouth fake?"

Zhou Xia nodded, but tried to comfort him and said, "It's actually quite beautiful, and it's pretty good to put it at home."

Wang Ming turned to Xu Zhendong again, "Master Xu, didn't you say you could see this thing just now? Why, the appraisal results of your company are different!"

Xu Zhendong explained to him, "I just said that I could see it, that this thing really looks like it. The imitation level is pretty good, but after all, imitation is a imitation and cannot be regarded as a real one."

The Chinese speak profoundly, especially in the antique industry. Although Wang Ming has been in this industry for some time, it is still difficult to fully understand the meaning of these appraisers.

"Then tell me, this thing is not good, where does it manifest? I think this oil drip is very beautiful, and this oil drip is also quite beautiful." Wang Ming didn't want to admit defeat, he wanted to figure it out clearly.

Zhou Xia said to him, "I asked Mr. Wang before, if you have seen any genuine oil droplets before, Mr. Wang said no."

Wang Ming nodded, but was puzzled, "I have never seen it before, but what does this have to do with whether this thing is true or false?" (To be continued,
