Chapter 1263: Antique scam

After adjusting his emotions a bit, Fang Ge said:

"I think this is a Yongle blue and white plum bottle. From the perspective of the shape, this plum bottle is small, only 323 centimeters in size, which is in line with the saying of'Yongle has no big tools'.

This blue-and-white plum bottle has an open mouth, short neck, plump shoulders, and wide-ringed feet. The whole body is decorated with tangled lotus patterns. The underglaze blue and white hair color is strong, there is a certain halo phenomenon, and there are brown iron crystal spots.

In addition, this blue and white plum bottle is not signed, which is in line with the rare situation in the Yongle blue and white four-character seal script, and the fetal quality is relatively fine, which can be felt by hand.

It is based on the above characteristics, combined with some other details, that I judged that this is a Yongle blue and white plum bottle, and took down this antique porcelain.

The foreigner antique shop owner doesn't seem to know much about Chinese porcelain. He only said that this is a very good Chinese antique porcelain. It has a history of hundreds of years and is very worth collecting.

As for the price of this blue and white plum bottle, Brother Rong sold it for a while. It is really inconvenient to disclose. What do you think of this porcelain? Ye Tian, ​​I really want to hear your appraisal conclusion.

You are the world's top antique art appraisal expert, with extremely sharp vision. Known to the antique pedestrians, you can definitely see the authenticity of this blue and white plum bottle! "

After finishing talking, Brother Fang stared at Ye Tian's face, expecting him to give an accurate identification conclusion, his expression was uneasy and quite nervous!

Obviously, the price for him to win this blue and white plum bottle is not low, otherwise he would not be so worried about gains and losses!

While he was telling the evidence of the identification, Ye Tian also reached out and picked up the blue and white plum bottle placed on the table, and took a look at it pretentiously, even more carefully.

In fact, as early as when Brother Fang came over with the box, Ye Tian already knew clearly that there was no doubt about the authenticity of this blue and white plum bottle!

After Fang Ge's voice fell, Ye Tian also finished the performance appraisal, and placed the blue and white plum bottle firmly on the table.

Immediately afterwards, he smiled and said:

"It can be seen, Brother Fang, you still have some research on Ming Yongle blue and white, and you are familiar with the characteristics of Yongle blue and white, and your appreciation level is good!"

"The words there are all learned from books and the Internet. They are just a trick! You laughed, Ye Tian, ​​tell me your opinion on this blue and white plum bottle, I really want to hear it!"

Brother Fang said politely, then said eagerly.

Ye Tian looked at the blue and white plum bottle again, then said solemnly:

"If you follow the rules of the domestic antique shop, I can only say that this blue and white plum bottle is not accurate, and it is not suitable to say anything, otherwise it will break the rules of the antique industry. After all, we are just meeting together!

But this is in Europe, not in China. We are all Chinese. This is the relationship between us. So my clear identification conclusion is not a violation of the rules, and foreigners do not apply our gameplay.

I can say with certainty that this blue and white plum bottle is a fake. To be more precise, this is a high imitation Yongle blue and white plum bottle burnt in recent years. The imitation level is good and it is somewhat confusing!

I don’t know how much you spent on this plum bottle? Brother Fang, if it exceeds two hundred euros, you will lose money! A similar high imitation Yongle blue and white plum vase is worth one to two thousand yuan in Beijing Liulichang.

The box containing the blue and white plum bottle is a genuine antique. If I read it correctly, it should be from the early years of the Republic of China. It is probably worth three or four thousand yuan, which is very high. I am talking about RMB."

Before he finished speaking, Brother Fang's face was already pale, and it was hard to see the extreme. His eyes were blood red instantly, and they looked a little scary! ,

Fortunately, his physical condition is not bad, he just shook back and forth twice, and didn't fall to the ground.

As soon as he stabilized his figure, he started talking to himself in despair.

"How could it be a fake? All the places are in line with the characteristics of the Yongle blue and white plum bottle. It is because of these outstanding characteristics that I judge this to be the Yongle blue and white. Ye Tian, ​​could it be that you read it wrong?"

Not only Fang, but the other two Chinese at the table he was sitting on, a middle-aged woman and a girl in their teens and 20s, their complexions became extremely ugly, and they even shed tears anxiously.

Don't ask, it must be Fang's wife and children. Fortunately, the ability of this family of three to control their own emotions is pretty good, and they didn't cry.

Seeing the performance of their family, Ye Tian still didn't understand.

This family was smashed by the foreigner antique shop owner. Even if they didn’t bankrupt their family, they were also smashed to the point of bleeding. In just a few years or more than a decade, don’t try to get over it!

The rest of the guests in the restaurant were not fools either. They understood the situation in the blink of an eye and started talking.

"Let me go! Such a beautiful blue and white plum bottle turned out to be a fake. After that, that buddy from Tianjin must have lost money!"

"Is there any mistake? Europe also has high imitation porcelain, isn't that the same as Panjiayuan? It seems we have to be careful too, lest we are pitted by a dead foreigner and weep without crying!"

While there was a lot of discussion, several Chinese people on the scene showed fearful expressions on their faces. They should have encountered similar fake antiques, but they didn't make a move!

Listening to these discussions, Ye Tian couldn't help but shook his head and smiled bitterly, then said loudly:

"A reminder, everyone must be more careful when traveling abroad. Not only must you be careful of thieves, you must also be careful of all kinds of crooks. The antique art market in Europe and America is also full of fakes.

As our country becomes more prosperous, everyone’s wallets are getting bigger and bigger, and more and more people travel abroad. Thieves and scammers in many places in Europe and America have been salivating on everyone’s wallets.

Some scammers even scam Chinese tourists. The antique scam is one of them. The scammers buy high imitation antique artworks from China and sell them as authentic products to Chinese tourists traveling abroad, making a fortune! "

"I'm going! Too bad for him, who did we provoke someone? He was actually regarded as a fat sheep!"

"It seems that there are not only thieves everywhere in Europe, but also many scammers! It's still domestic security."

There was a sound of discussion on the scene again, every voice implied anger.

After a short pause, Ye Tian continued:

"The use of antique scammers is precisely the lack of discernment ability of everyone. After all, everyone is not a professional person. They rarely come into contact with antique art in life, and basically do not have very good discriminating ability.

Moreover, in the eyes of many Chinese, most of the Chinese antique works of art that appeared on the European and American markets were lost cultural relics that were looted by the invaders.

If there was indeed such a possibility more than two decades ago, then all kinds of highly imitation Chinese antique artworks had not yet entered the European and American markets, and genuine products on the market did indeed account for the majority!

But that's the old calendar. With the continuous and rapid development of China's economy in recent years, the collection of antique art in China has become more and more popular, not only in China, but also internationally!

Seeing this, many European and American antique dealers purchase a large amount of high-imitation or even shoddy ones from the country, and place them in their own antique shops to pit Chinese tourists.

Everyone travels, and the time spent in Europe and the United States is definitely limited. Even if you know that you have been scammed afterwards, because of the relationship between time and distance, you can often have no choice but to lose it!

It is precisely by using these loopholes that certain unscrupulous European and American antique dealers, or European and American swindlers, can become popular and make money out of our Chinese pockets time and time again!

The blue and white plum bottle that Fang bought was a high-imitation porcelain. It should have been fired in no more than two years before it was shipped to Europe and transformed into a Mingyongle blue and white!

What is the price of high imitation porcelain? A good copy is only a few thousand yuan; what price is the Yongle blue and white plum bottle? That is the top antique porcelain worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of RMB! Can meet but not ask! "

"hiss--!"

There was a sound of air-conditioning on the first floor of the Swan Restaurant.

At the same time, everyone looked at Fang Ge and his wife and children, and everyone's eyes were full of sympathy, and they were a little bit lucky!

Fortunately, the person who is unlucky is not himself, otherwise it is himself who wants to cry without tears!

Ye Tian's voice continued to be heard, and it clearly spread to everyone's ears.

"For the sake of 100% of the profits, the capitalists dare to trample on all human laws; if there are 300% of the profits, the capitalists dare to commit any crimes, and even risk being hanged.

Everyone knows this famous quote of Marx. The high imitation porcelain for several thousand dollars and the Yongle blue and white plum vase worth tens of millions of billions are worth tens of thousands of times. Can they not make people crazy?

In fact, everyone just need to be careful. Whenever you encounter this kind of good thing, think about it, you should still be able to avoid falling into the trap and being slaughtered by those swindlers!

In recent years, Chinese antique works of art have been so hot, and they have continuously created jaw-dropping transaction prices. How can a priceless blue and white plum bottle of Ming Yongle be encountered so easily?

You know, this is Brussels, the headquarters of the European Union, the capital of Europe, and it is not a poor country where news is blocked. There is no way to know the market value of Chinese antique art.

The antique dealer who can open a shop in Brussels, that is not a human being? If these guys have top Chinese antique artworks in their hands, the first thing they do is probably to send them to major auction houses.

If they didn't do this, but sold the so-called antique artworks in their own stores, then everyone must be careful. This is probably a pit specially dug for Chinese tourists!

In Europe and the United States now, if you don’t have superb discrimination skills and want to buy antique works of art, it’s best to go to auctions held by major auction houses. That channel is more credible! "

Hearing this, all the Chinese people in the restaurant were completely stupid.

"I'll go! This is too sinister and cunning. It seems that all the antique dealers at home and abroad are all raccoon dogs. They all eat people and don't spit bones!"

"It's impossible to guard against! Fortunately, my buddies are not interested in antique art, and there is not much money in the wallet. Otherwise, it is really possible to be deceived and be taken advantage of!"

In the voice of emotion , the face is as dark as the bottom of a pot, and Fang Ge, who wants to cry without tears, said with great depression:

"Yes! This time I lost a lot of money. I thought I was lucky and a pie fell in the sky. As a result, a bomb fell and almost blown myself to pieces. This lesson is so profound!

There is not a good person with these dead foreigners! I'm going to smash this worthless gadget, looking at him so angry, I will never play antiques again, it's not that piece of material! "

As he said, Brother Fang stretched out his hands through gritted teeth, ready to pick up the blue and white plum bottle on the table, and smash it to pieces to relieve his hatred.

At this moment, Ye Tian smiled and said:

"Don't rush to smash it! Brother Fang, this matter is still slow!"

"What? This matter is still slow, I heard it right? Ye Tian, ​​don't you say this is a high imitation fake?"

Brother Fang's hands stopped in the air, and his gloomy eyes instantly lit up, flashing hopeful light again.
