Chapter 403 The truth is hidden in the fake
ps: Thank you for the reward and monthly tickets for Zhuzhu, three, haha!
The owner of this crystal is very familiar with Xiao Ru, so what they gave them are all real people. The magical gourd carved with blond hair crystals like hair, the light pattern with imitation silk, the tiger-eyed stone beads like yellow-brown cat-eyed cat-eyed, and the green ghost agate, as if there were really aquatic agate like aquatic plants growing inside... Each piece, each piece, is so magical and beautiful that the two women couldn't help but be obsessed with it.
Of course, the most attractive thing about crystal stone is that it is obviously much cheaper than other gems, which allows them to relax and buy things in a big way. The most expensive ones are not more than 10,000 yuan, and they are so colorful. When can they not buy more? The result is that when the Doctor secretly went to check out, they found that in just a short while, they actually threw out more than 100,000 yuan!
This! This is clearly the practice of online shopping and supermarkets! It is a price jump from the property and a big discount, which makes you look cheap and useless. You have bought a lot of useful and useless things, but the more you spend!
The boss lady saw that after paying the money, Wu Di was still enjoying it with an agate cup, and couldn't help but laugh:
"These are all made by machines and are not rare. There is also a cup of agate passed down from our ancestors in our house. It was something from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. That's how beautiful it is!"
She saw Wu Di spending more than 100,000 eyes without blinking. She felt aroused in her heart and remembered the antique agate cup in her house. Some people said it was worth one million, but some people said it was worthless, but it was indeed very beautiful. Why not try it with him?
"Oh, from the Qianlong period? Take it out and take a look."
The boss took out a single agate ear cup, about 7 cm high, 9 cm in diameter, and the bottom is carved with yin lines "made in Qianlong" four-character official script style.
This agate cup has a texture of agate, with yellow-brown patterns in the gray-white agate. The instrument is irregularly round. One side is a dragon with a dragon as the handle. The two forelimbs and mouths of the dragon are placed on the edge of the cup. The lower limbs and tails of the instrument are connected and entangled with the outer wall of the instrument and form the foot of the instrument. It is a standard Ming Dynasty standard, and the carving technique is also a jade carving technique in the Ming Dynasty, but why did the symbols come from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty?
Wu Di remembered that he had heard that some jade carvings had no signatures, and their historical and commercial values were greatly reduced, so some people added some specious signatures to them in order to sell them for a large price. Unexpectedly, they actually saw one today.
He put the cup down, shook his head and said with a smile:
"This cup is from the Ming Dynasty in terms of standard and technique, but the signature is from the Qing Dynasty. It is obvious that someone is deliberately making a falsification. I think it is mostly a fake. But it looks pretty, but if it is cheap, you can take it."
The boss's wife felt a little sad. The cup was collected by her man for 30,000 yuan. The museum's statement after the appraisal was exactly the same as Wu Di's. She scolded the man at that time. But later, after someone said that it was worth a lot of money, she always held a little fantasy. Let's see if she could really meet a sucker and sell it at a sky-high price. At this moment, she saw that the young man recognized it at a glance, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed and said:
"But this thing was indeed passed down from ancestors, so it should be worth some money, right?"
"Of course! This cup is still a few years old. But someone should have told you about its flaws? If it weren't for this signature, it might be more valuable, which would be a pity."
The boss lady was anxious. This person was really talking. He kept talking. How much is it worth?
"If I wanted this thing, it would be worth more than 300,000 yuan. Because it is likely to be something from the Republic of China."
The boss's wife breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, although it was not worth millions, it was not worthless as the guy in the museum said! It increased ten times at once. Should I sell it or not?
"Then... brother, can you add more? Look how beautiful it is!"
Wu Di smiled and shook her head.
"There are so many beautiful things, and I can only get a lot of items for one or two thousand yuan. Boss, this is not the way to sell things."
The boss lady smiled:
"Or what if it's 350,000?"
This cup is indeed something from the Ming Dynasty, and its real value should be around 1.5 million, but the Qianlong style of the Qing Dynasty made people uncomfortable to look at, so Wu Di thought that 300,000 was almost the same. Moreover, the boss's wife didn't know the goods. For Xiao Ru's sake, he didn't directly offer 50,000 or 100,000, which was already a kind person.
In the end, the boss's wife gave in and made a deal of 300,000 yuan, which made Wu Di pick up another rare thing.
"This village is made of Afghan jade, can you watch it?"
The scientific name of Afghan jade is "marble", also known as marble, and is not the real jadeware we usually call. The reason why it is called jade is mainly to attract more people to buy it, and its value is quite low.
The reason why Xiao Ru asked this is probably because Wu Di and the others probably looked down on him. Judging from the performance of the previous two villages, this is a big loser who doesn’t regard money as money!
"Since you're here, let's take a look together, so that you can get less fooled in the future."
Because Afghan white jade is very delicate and even, with a luster and oily luster, and the jade flowers cannot be seen with the naked eye, it is often used to pretend to be high-quality white jade or mutton fat jade. Most people who don’t know the identification method will be fooled. In fact, the method of identification is very simple. Just use your fingernails to scratch it hard. If you can scrape off a little white skin, it is not white jade.
The yard at the village head house is not big, mainly because there are many houses built, with jade carving machines inside, and many workers are processing jade carvings. Wu Di took a look and found out that most of them were various Guanyin statues. The white jade Guanyin pretended to be Afghan jade has a very good sales in the Guangdong Province area, so it is very popular with fake sales bosses, and most of them are made for them.
"Little Ru is here, why are you bringing customers? Those who can like your goods are probably not looking down on us. Come on, sit in the house, the yard is too dirty!"
When the fat boss saw Wu Di and the others, he came up enthusiastically. The one who could let Xiao Ru personally lead it must be the big boss. These people like to cheat the most. If they can get along with this line, they might be a big player in the future! Of course, this kind of thing can only be thought about in my heart, and I should be polite in my mouth.
Wu Di saw the white mist floating faintly above the yard, and looked at the workers who were processing jade pieces in the workshop. Some of them didn't even wear masks! He shook his head. He made money now, but this was obtained at the expense of health. I didn't understand this account in the past, so don't you know it now?
The boss’s wife said that the house was not much better. Except for some commonly used ones, there was a layer of thin or thick white gray on the surface of the other things.
"This room is messy and I don't have time to clean up. Let's just go."
The boss's wife looked at the white jade Guanyin on the bottom and said a little embarrassedly. Then she noticed that Wu Di was looking at the statue that seemed to be carved from a mold, and couldn't help but smile:
"Now the machine is getting more and more advanced, and the supply volume is too large, and handmade ones are gradually becoming less popular. Boss, I can pick up everything here. Otherwise, I will give you two samples to show you?"
The boss's wife said a few words and then turned the topic to business.
Wu Di nodded without comment. Some small pieces of Afghan jade still have certain collection value. Because it has special physical structure and chemical components, it has certain water absorption, water locking and moisturizing functions. If it is in contact with the human body for a long time, it is manifested as easy to absorb sweat stains and oils from the human body, and the beneficial ingredients are absorbed by the human body. Therefore, the longer Afghan white jade comes into contact with the human body, the more oily the jade feels, and the smoother and more delicate the human skin.
In addition, Afghan white jade also has a photoelectric effect. During the friction and rolling process, it can gather heat and accumulate energy, form an electromagnetic field, which can resonate the human body and promote the coordinated operation of various parts and organs, thereby achieving the effect of stabilizing emotions, balancing physiological functions, and maintaining health and strengthening the body. The beneficial trace elements in white jade can also improve the appearance of the skin, balance the secretion of sebum, help maintain appropriate moisture in cells, and make the skin look more moisturized and younger!
Since white jade has this effect, if the two women don’t mind, it’s okay to buy a few small things to go back and play with.
The boss lady went in to get the things. Wu Di's eyes turned back to the Guanyin statue on the ground. Suddenly, she looked at her feet, and she reached out and bent down with difficulty, picked up a white jade Guanyin that was as color as cream, with its essence, and was thick and warm.
The boss took out some Afghan jade pendants, bracelets, massage sticks and other small items. When he saw him looking at a Guanyin statue, he smiled:
"This kind of thing is very popular in Guangdong Province. People there are superstitious people, and many families have bought it. Where is the boss's store? Why not take two items back and try it. If it cannot be sold, then take it back."
To everyone's expectations, Wu Di replied yes, and ordered the dormitory to take out two more pieces from the Guanyin statue on the ground, and said with a smile:
"Take three in total, and you won't lose much money if you try it."
"That's right, this thing is worthless. It's only 800 yuan for wholesale, and someone wants it for hundreds of thousands of yuan! Look at this white jade comb, and use it to comb your hair for a long time. The hair will become oily and shiny and moisturize. This is not something I'm talking nonsense, but many books are written!"
Wu Di nodded, picked a few items in person and handed them to the Doctor Cat to carry. This thing is often used, and even if it has no obvious effect, it should be better than not.
Chapter completed!
