    Zhou Xia felt that Xu Yaohui was not unjust. When he came across something that was imitated and looked like the real thing, the price was not particularly expensive. As long as he had the slightest intention of taking advantage, he would be easily fooled.

    Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, Zhou Xiazi carefully observed the performance of the upper body of the entire bottle.

    When a large bottle like this is first fired, it is not made in one go. Instead, it is divided into two parts, the upper and lower parts. Finally, they are spliced ??together before firing and sent to the kiln for firing.

    Therefore, many times, even if there are traces of splicing, everyone feels it is natural.

    Zhou Xia feels that the style and charm of the current Qianlong flower-pattern vase are exactly the same as the porcelain of the Qianlong period. This is not surprising, because it is modeled after the style of the Qianlong period.  It depends on the level of the imitator, whether he can grasp the essence and the unknown secrets in it.

    But imitations are imitations after all, and there will always be flaws.

    In addition to some flaws in the place where the fetus was connected, Zhou Xia felt that this flower-patterned vase had some extra things that were not available during the Qianlong period. For example, the delicate and colorful peonies in it felt more beautiful than the peonies of the same period during the Qianlong period.  In line with modern people's aesthetics.  Other orchids and lotuses are similar, and even masters will have their own unique style when copying them.

    At the same time, Zhou Xia felt that this porcelain lacked some of the unique royal charm.

    Of course, what Zhou Xia is looking forward to even more is what kind of appraisal the system will do on such a piece of porcelain!

    You should know that if porcelain with a base like this is sent to an appraisal center for testing using modern high-tech instruments, different conclusions will be drawn if only the bottom part or only the upper part is selected for testing.

    Soon, Zhou Xia knew the answer.

    The system immediately responded, ¡°Part of this object was created in 1928 AD, and part of it was created in 1789 AD.¡±

    Zhou Xia really admires the system, so this is okay.

    He feels that the function of this system is really powerful. Although the current dating function of cultural relics may only be accomplished by a high-tech instrument in the future.  But now, it is definitely a super-defying existence.  In particular, it can make such accurate identifications of spliced ??cultural relics.

    Although the system did not give a more detailed explanation as to which part it is.

    But if Zhou Xia had such an obvious clue and couldn't tell which one was fired during the Republic of China and which one was authentic during the Qianlong reign, he might as well not follow other people's appraisals and just hit the wall and get over it.

    While Xu Yaohui was waiting nearby, he was studying the bronze mirrors of the four mythical beasts, wondering which customers he should contact who particularly preferred bronze mirrors, and how to maximize the potential of this set of bronze mirrors.

    After Zhou Xia completed the appraisal, he suddenly remembered that this imitation Qianlong enamel flower-pattern vase from the Republic of China was similar to the enamel flower-pattern vase in the Palace Museum in Beijing.  No wonder he felt that there was some resemblance to it. It was passed down from the Qing Palace. It is estimated that this imitator must have seen the genuine product, otherwise, the imitation would not be so successful.

    "Uncle Xu, where did you get this Qianlong enamel vase with floral patterns that belongs to the Republic of China?" Now that they are alone, Zhou Xia doesn't have to go through all the twists and turns with Xu Yaohui to be modest and polite.  He didn't even say anything, just pointed it out to him directly.  Moreover, Zhou Xia also believes that Xu Yaohui must also know very well now that this porcelain is an old imitation made later.

    Xu Yaohui still wanted to consider him and induced him to say, "Zhou Xia, why don't you take a closer look? I think this is indeed the authentic product of Qianlong!"

    Zhou Xia said bluntly, "It is true, but the upper part of the bottle is not the original Qianlong product. It feels similar to the style of the Republic of China period. Moreover, although this enamel bottle is not obvious at first glance,  But there are indeed traces of later splicing. It¡¯s just that the burner is very skilled and skilled, so it can easily lead to misunderstandings.¡±

    Xu Yaohui laughed and said, "Zhou Xia, you are really amazing!"

    Zhou Xia asked, "What do you think of Uncle Xu's words?"

    Xu Yaohui said, "You must have guessed that this is the Qianlong enamel flower-pattern vase that I bought for 15 million. The reason why I believed it to be authentic was precisely because of the base.  It was an authentic product from the Qianlong period. Seeing that the base was authentic, I didn¡¯t think too much at the time, and didn¡¯t even think about the connection. In addition, the upper part of the enamel bottle also has a well-formed shape and a well-designed design, in line with the Qianlong official  The characteristics of the authentic products from the kiln are consistent, and there are similar authentic products in the two National Palace Museums. I was fascinated for a while, and thought that I might have missed it. Before I could completely identify the authenticity, my head was spinning.??, I paid for it on the spot.  "

    Zhou Xia comforted and said, "Such a piece of porcelain that looks like a real thing, if I were in the same situation as Uncle Xu, I would probably make quite a judgment. Then after seeing it, my mind would not be as clear as it is now, plus the temptation  Big, it¡¯s not surprising that I didn¡¯t distinguish it carefully. Hasn¡¯t Uncle Xu already made his own judgment? I think it was imitated in the Republic of China. I don¡¯t know what your opinions are, Uncle Xu.¡±

    Xu Yaohui looked ashamed, "I'm ashamed to say that I don't have such good eyesight as you, Zhou Xia. I bought it home and looked at it carefully. I was very smug, thinking it was the genuine article, and I thought I had picked up a huge leak. Until our old man  , together with the old man of the Liu family and the old gangster Zhao, they finally identified that the upper part of the bottle was an imitation from the Republic of China period. After I looked at it carefully, I realized that there was something fishy in it. Then I thought about when I bought it.  , I really fell into a misunderstanding. I was lying to myself in many places, but it was too late to regret. So I said Zhou Xia, you are awesome, you can tell at a glance that this is from the Republic of China period!"

    Zhou Xia hurriedly said, "Uncle Xu is too generous. In fact, I only came to this judgment based on the causes and consequences of this matter. Because this porcelain is so imitated and connected to the real thing, I didn't notice it for a moment.  It is understandable to mistake it for the genuine article. If this thing is taken out for expert appraisal, I am sure that more than half of the experts will think that it is the genuine article of Qianlong. What's more, when Uncle Xu bought it, it was  They don¡¯t have as much time to think about it carefully.¡±

    Xu Yaohui's expression was sincere and he said with a wry smile, "This is where our practical school is in a more cruel situation than the theoretical school. For a good thing, it is impossible to leave you a lot of time to check various information and spend ten and a half days.  Months or even a year or two to think carefully about it. You have to make a prompt decision. The opportunity is fleeting. If you are slow to act, you may be robbed first and lose the opportunity to collect treasures. But you have to act.  Soon, a situation like mine will happen, where the appraisal will be wrong and I will lose all my property. Even if it is a large-scale auction with a preview, it will not really give you much time to get started and study it carefully, only two days at most.  Three days. Even in some major international auction houses, there are a lot of fakes, so you don¡¯t have to be careful. It¡¯s really hard to follow the road of the practical school. "

    Xu Yaohui then said, "But I believe that with Zhou Xia's strength, if you go to participate in actual combat, you will definitely be much stronger than me. I just say this, I hope you will not make the same mistakes as me, such a bloody lesson  , it only takes one time, and it may completely change a person's life. To be honest, when the old man and the others identified this Qianlong enamel bottle as a replica of the Republic of China, I was originally very excited, ready to show off my talents in the antique collection shop, and even looked forward to it.  A higher goal. But as soon as the conclusion came out and I confirmed it carefully, I felt disheartened and extremely depressed. I even washed my hands in a golden basin and quit antique collecting, a business full of intrigues, cruelty and blood.  thoughts."

    Zhou Xia expressed her most sincere thanks to him, "Thank you Uncle Xu for your teaching! I admire Uncle Xu and will unswervingly follow the principles of practical combat, because only in actual combat can we better challenge ourselves and learn the true meaning of  Things. At the same time, I will be more careful in choosing opportunities to make money. With my small family, it doesn¡¯t matter if I pay some tuition fees, but if I have to lose all my wealth, I will never have a chance to turn around."

    Seeing that he really listened, Xu Yaohui felt that all the hard work was not in vain, and he immediately laughed and said, "It can't be called teaching. I just use myself as a negative example, because this industry is not as bright and bright as everyone imagined. In reality,  Always be more cruel and fierce! Zhou Xia, you are still young, and your future is much brighter and broader than us old guys. We don¡¯t want you to be too radical. Of course, sometimes it is necessary to take appropriate risks. Don¡¯t lose the youthful spirit.  Spirit. As for how to control the speed, it depends on you!"

    Zhou Xia immediately smiled and said, "Then I have to ask Uncle Xu for advice. Uncle Xu is rich in experience, so he needs to give me more advice."

    Xu Yaohui naturally nodded and agreed. He was very optimistic about Zhou Xia's ability, and even used his own blood and tears to remind him and help him learn and grow.  If it had been anyone else, Xu Yaohui would definitely not have exposed his own shortcomings and taught him the experience and lessons he bought for fifteen million.

    Zhou Xia is very clear that this does not mean that Xu Yaohui's psychological quality is not good, it is because he suffered a huge blow, especially to his confidence.  He said that the antique collecting industry is full of intrigues, cruel and bloody, and this is indeed the case.  Just imagine, there is no other industry now where there are so many fakes in the antique collecting world.  Even an old expert like Xu Yaohui was once beaten to the point of losing all confidence. He did not have enough strength and financial resources to join in. He could easily be crushed to pieces by strong winds and waves without leaving any trace.

    Zhou Xia naturally understands Xu Yaohui¡¯s good intentions.??, he is relatively lucky. Not everyone can experience this tragic lesson of fifteen million.
