"Stop talking, let's go. Let's see what conclusions there will be after testing the things." Immediately, under the leadership of Mr. Zhang, everyone left the antique city and prepared to rush to the most authoritative testing agency in the provincial capital.

.

"Mr. Zhang, I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you leaving now?"

"Mr. Qin, I have some new tea there, why don't you come over and have a seat?"

"Mr. Tian, ​​are you free? I want to ask you something..."

However, in the process of leaving the antique city, the vast group of people naturally attracted special attention. From time to time, people came up to say hello. Of course, the people who came up were all greeting Mr. Zhang and others. So let alone the unknown Wang Guan, just

Gao Dequan, shopkeeper Yue Da and others are just followers, so no one cares about them at all.

At this time, Wang Guan finally saw how high the reputation of Mr. Zhang and others was. Seeing Mr. Zhang and others, almost all the shopkeepers and shopkeepers in the antique city, including the customers who came to visit the antique city, rushed over.

It was difficult for the group of them to move forward.

In the bustle, Wang Guan was inevitably squeezed into the outermost corner.

Seeing this situation, Wang Guan was speechless and couldn't help but secretly curse in his heart. If those shopkeepers and big shopkeepers knew the purpose of Mr. Zhang and others coming here, they would probably run as far as they could and would never dare to get close.

"Wang Guan, get in the car quickly..."

Not long after, Gao Dequan drove over slowly, sounded his horn, and managed to disperse some people.

Seeing this, Wang Guan hurriedly got into the car. But before he could sit firmly, the vehicle suddenly stopped suddenly, causing his body to sway forward out of habit, and then with a loud bang, his head tragically hit the roof of the car.

"His!"

Wang Guan gasped, grinned and said, "Uncle De, don't be so cruel."

"Someone suddenly hit me in front, so I had to brake." Gao Dequan was a little embarrassed. He looked through the rearview mirror and asked with concern: "How are you, are you okay?"

"It's okay..." Wang Guan said with a bitter smile. He rubbed his forehead with his fingers and felt a little bruised and stinging.

"for you!"

At this moment, a small and exquisite bottle was handed over from the side. Wang Guan was startled. He looked up and saw Su Yu saying softly: "This is a medicine for analgesic and blood stasis. The effect is very significant. Give it a try."

"

"Ah...thank you."

Wang Guan reacted and quickly took the bottle.

"You're welcome."

Su Yu looked calm, but some thoughts were floating in his clear eyes, as if he was planning to say something, but in the end he did not speak.

Wang Guan didn't pay attention. After opening the bottle, he applied the medicine to the swollen area on his forehead. He immediately felt a refreshing sensation. It was very effective and immediate.

At the same time, Mr. Zhang squeezed his way out of the crowd, finally got into the car, and immediately shouted: "Ad, let's go!"

"Where are the others?" Gao Dequan asked casually, then carefully adjusted the direction and drove out.

"Wait for them at the exit." Mr. Zhang instructed, then shook his head and said: "When I came here before, I didn't see them so enthusiastic. Why are they like this now?"

"Mr. Zhang, do your math, how many years have you been to the Antique City?" Gao Dequan said with a smile.

"Hey, it's true." Mr. Zhang suddenly said, "It seems to have been seven or eight years ago!"

At Mr. Zhang's age and status, he rarely visits antique cities. Usually as long as he is sitting at home, someone will take the initiative to send something to them and ask them to help them appreciate it. If you like it, buy it directly. If you don't like it, just let it go.

People take it away. In this case, there is no need to visit antique shops anymore.

While talking, Gao Dequan drove to the intersection of the antique city. After waiting for a few minutes, Mr. Qin and others also came out one after another with the driver, and then the group of people sped away.

Ten minutes passed, and everyone successfully arrived at the most authoritative testing center in the provincial capital. I don’t know who said hello, but when everyone opened the door and got out of the car, they saw personnel from the testing agency waiting at the door.

After some pleasantries, Mr. Zhang explained the purpose of his visit, and then, with a sad expression on the face of shopkeeper Yue Da, he handed over the plum and bamboo pattern plate with an enamel inscription on the wall to the inspector. After that, he waited patiently.

Two hours later, the person in charge of the testing agency came out with a thick stack of information.

"How's it going? The results are out?"

In an instant, everyone gathered around. The most nervous among them was naturally the shopkeeper Yue Da. If the enamel color on the plate was not the latest dye, then his deduction was correct.

Unfortunately, the results of the test were destined to make shopkeeper Yue Da's wish come true and make him completely give up.

"Lao Bai, your appraisal is correct."

At the right time, the person in charge of the testing agency said with admiration: "According to our tests, we found that these colored materials..."

Next, the person in charge said a lot of professional terms. Wang Guan didn't understand it, but even with a vague guess, he understood the general meaning. It seems that based on the length of time that the enamel color material is in contact with the air, after testing, there will be

corresponding changes.

Mr. Zhang was probably half-informed. After listening for a few minutes, he simply asked: "There is no need to explain the process. Just tell us the results. When were these enamel materials fired?"

"It's a newly colored material, and it won't be more than thirty years old." The person in charge affirmed.

"No more than thirty years?" Mr. Zhang frowned: "Can't it be more precise?"

"This is difficult to determine." The person in charge shook his head and said: "After all, from a technical level, the reaction between the enamel color material and the oxygen in the air... there is no obvious difference between one year and thirty years..."

"This is going to be difficult."

Suddenly, everyone began to have difficulties. Although the test results ruled out the possibility that the plate was an old imitation, it could not prove that the thing was fired recently. It might also have slipped through the net twenty years ago.

When everyone was having headaches, shopkeeper Yue Da was on the verge of crying, and his last glimmer of hope was shattered. Especially when he saw the plate that had been scraped off the enamel pattern and looked bare, he even wanted to hit the wall.

"Lao Yue, please look away."

Shopkeeper Li comforted him softly, but he was also very frightened. Not only him, but also several shopkeepers next to him also had heavy expressions on their faces, and they were already thinking about whether to sell the antique porcelain in the store quickly, or not to buy it for the time being, so as not to

If you accidentally get caught, you won't even have a place to cry.

"Ten million, how can I look away?" Shopkeeper Yue Da said tremblingly, feeling so heartbroken that he wanted to vomit blood.

For a moment, Wang Guan's heart trembled, and he realized the cruelty and ruthlessness of the antique industry. For a moment, everyone fell silent, and the atmosphere was very depressing.

Suddenly, Mr. Zhang said: "Xiaoyue, I want to buy a Ming Dynasty Buddha statue recently. Please help me look for it. If there is something good, send it directly to my house."

"Well, Xiaoyue, I remember there seems to be a string of huanghuali wood beads in Baoshan Pavilion. I'm attracted to it..."

"I want the picture of Li Fangying, the Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou in the Qing Dynasty..."

At the same time, Mr. Qin, Mr. Bai and others all started to indicate that the value of the purchased items was between one and two million, but nine people took action at the same time, which to some extent made up for the loss of shopkeeper Yue Da.

"Seniors..."

For a moment, shopkeeper Yue Da's eyes turned red and he was very moved.

"Xiaoyue, our abilities are limited and we can only help you so much."

At this time, Mr. Zhang said seriously: "You should understand that we did not target anyone deliberately, but we only caused you to suffer losses out of helplessness."

"Mr. Zhang, you don't need to say more, I understand."

Shopkeeper Yue Da felt ashamed and said: "All the seniors are public-spirited and have good intentions. They want to solve problems for the antique city and maintain the order of the industry. In comparison, I am a villain, blinded by petty profits..."

Having said this, shopkeeper Yue Da gritted his teeth and suddenly said: "Mr. Zhang, don't be embarrassed. I can be sure that the cooking time of this plate will not exceed two years."

"How to say?"

Everyone was startled and quickly looked at Shopkeeper Yue Da, eager to know the reason.

"I bought this thing when I went abroad for inspection two years ago."

Shopkeeper Yue Da adjusted his mood and recalled slowly: "When I saw this thing in an antique shop, I was immediately surprised. The enamel-colored porcelain from the Yongzheng period is a rare treasure in ancient and modern times. At that time,

I didn’t think much about it, and immediately pestered the shop owner, and it took several days to get the item at a converted price of 10 million.”

"At that time I felt that I had taken a huge advantage, but now I realize that I have been deceived."

Shopkeeper Yue Da smiled bitterly and shook his head, and then continued: "After I bought the things, I must have been focusing on studying and appreciating them, so I remember very clearly that the enamel patterns on the plate were very new and bright. But two years later, this

The new luster has become restrained. Until now, I didn’t pay much attention to it, but after I found out that the thing was a fake, when I think about it now, I realize that this is the biggest flaw.”

Everyone nodded slightly, understanding what Shopkeeper Yue Da meant.

After all, newly fired porcelain always has a kind of luster and fire on it. Although this trace can be concealed by some means, there will always be some changes after the precipitation of time. Especially on enamel colored porcelain.

The pattern is superimposed by multiple layers of color materials, so the bright and restrained changes in luster will be more obvious.

Although this change process is very subtle and difficult for ordinary people to detect, it is definitely not hidden from experienced experts like Shopkeeper Yue Da. You may not have paid attention to it before, but now with comparison, you can judge the specific time when something was fired.

.

"So, it's been at least two years."

At the right time, Mr. Zhang frowned and sighed: "Or maybe even longer, I don't know how many things have flowed into the market."

Shopkeeper Yue Da's words confirmed that it was indeed Mr. Zhu Da who had returned to the world. Everyone also understood the seriousness of the situation, but there was no solution.

You must know that things are not what they used to be. The antique business today is no longer the small business it was 20 years ago. The current antique market has grown to a huge scale, covering not only all parts of the country, but also the world.

Countries are in line. With all kinds of complicated interests entangled, it may be difficult to unite to solve Mr. Zhu Da's matter...
