Seeing the old man sighing, Jiang Lexian said: "Old Liang, don't you usually keep snuff bottles? Where did these two things come from?"
The old man sighed: "This matter is difficult to explain in words. Please tell me about this thing in your hand first."
Jiang Lexian shook his head and said: "Just now, Shopkeeper Meng said that the photosensitivity method was used for forgery. This method is to take a photo of the enlarged sketch of the picture, make it into a black and white film, and then use a mixture of gelatin, potassium dichromate and other agents to smear it on the On the inner wall of the snuff bottle, the negative of the sketch is fixed on the snuff bottle, and after being irradiated with strong light to cause a chemical reaction, an image of the sketch is formed on the wall of the snuff bottle, which is then drawn and colored to make a fake. "
"Actually, this method of making fakes is relatively simple to spot. Just carefully observe whether the pattern lines are natural and smooth, whether there are repetitions, and whether the edges of the lines are blurred. Generally, the edge lines of fakes using this method will be blurry. It is clear, with consistent shades and more repetitions. The artificially hand-painted inner-painted pot patterns have natural transitions, rich images, and full of charm."
While speaking, Jiang Lexian asked the old man to observe in person. After a while, the old man's face was full of bitterness.
The old man smiled bitterly: "It's a loss, it's a big loss. If I had known this, I shouldn't have agreed to him at all."
¡°Lao Liang, what¡¯s going on?¡± Jiang Lexian asked curiously.
The old man said: "Cao Jin, you should know that these two things were paid off by me from him"
There are various forms of transactions in the antique industry, and exchanging debt for property is also very common in this circle.
Last year, Cao Jin asked the old man to borrow 300,000 yuan because he was short of money. Of course, with such a large amount of money, there must be a collateral. Cao Jin suggested at that time that the old man could choose a house or antiques.
The old man felt that the house was too troublesome to deal with. Unlike antiques, 300,000 yuan was already considered a small price, and it was very convenient to deal with, so he chose antiques.
That day, the old man went to randomly choose a bronze statue. The statue was worth less than 300,000 yuan at the time. The reason why he chose this statue was because the old man felt that Cao Jin would pay back the money, and they were friends for many years. Just choose something that is similar.
What happened later was simple. Cao Jin failed to pay back the money due to eye-punching, business failure and other reasons. The old man was also loyal and didn't say a word about it.
However, as the collection at Cao Jin's home became less and less, the old man also knew that the other party would not be able to pay him back. So, taking advantage of the opportunity after drinking yesterday, the old man told Cao Jin that he should give up the original statue. Give him the bronze statue.
Cao Jin agreed, but he said that the value of the statue was too low at first, and he was embarrassed to be a friend. It happened that he also had a pair of Ding Erzhong's snuff bottles at home, which was more suitable.
The old man said at first that there was no need to go to such trouble, but he couldn't resist the kindness, so he agreed. When he went to Cao Jin's house, he saw that the stuff was good, so he took it down.
¡°When I woke up in the morning, I took out my snuff bottle and looked at it, only to find that there was something wrong with it¡¡±
With a bitter look on his face, the old man gestured at the fake made using photosensitivity in his hand, and then said with gritted teeth: "That kid Cao Jin is really nothing. Even if the money doesn't come back, I have to go and say it no matter what." one time?"
Jiang Lexian said: "Cao Jin is indeed unreasonable about this matter. However, I think that with Cao Jin's eyesight, he probably cannot see what shopkeeper Meng said. Speaking of which, if shopkeeper Meng hadn't pointed it out, I would have I can¡¯t be sure about this either.¡±
Meng Zitao quickly said modestly: "It's a coincidence. I just got an authentic piece of Ding Erzhong. The content is also a landscape. Otherwise, I would probably be blinded."
Jiang Lexian's eyes lit up. Originally, he wanted to ask Meng Zitao if he could take a look at the snuff bottle, but the time was not right, so he complimented him first, and then asked the old man: "Lao Liang, do you want me to be an intermediary for you?" Let¡¯s get it together?¡±
"Okay." The old man pondered for a moment and then agreed. In the end, he still hoped that Cao Jin was wrong. After all, the two of them had known each other for a long time, and he didn't want to get involved with Cao Jin just because of these two things. Turn against each other and become enemies.
So, Jiang Lexian called Cao Jin, and on the phone, he explained the matter straightforwardly.
Cao Jin looked surprised on the phone and said he would come right away.
While waiting, Jiang Lexian introduced Meng Zitao and the old man: "Lao Liang, the thing you liked from Fan Youxi is here with Shopkeeper Meng. What do you think?"
The old man¡¯s name was Liang Youhai. After hearing this, he immediately turned his attention and said, ¡°Shopkeeper Meng, I wonder if you canCan you give up your love? "
Meng Zitao smiled and said: "Mr. Liang, I told Shopkeeper Jiang before that I collect antiques and the price of that brush washer is not low. It would not be cost-effective for me to transfer it now."
Jiang Lexian added: "That guy Fan Dingxi recognizes money but not people."
Liang Youhai understood the meaning of Jiang Lexian's words. He scratched his head: "This matter is indeed a bit difficult to handle. Let me think about it again."
In fact, the simplest way to do this is to exchange things for things. Liang Youhai should be able to think of it, but judging from his performance, he should not be willing to part with his collection.
Meng Zitao didn¡¯t take it seriously and smiled and said it was no problem.
Next, everyone chatted about antiques for a while and exchanged some appraisal experience.
Although Meng Zitao didn't talk much, he always hit the point. This surprised Liang Youhai. He didn't expect that the young Meng Zitao was actually quite powerful.
???Previously, Liang Youhai didn't take it seriously when he heard Fan Dingxi's title, thinking that Meng Zitao was just a rich second generation experiencing life at most. Now it seems that Meng Zitao simply "doesn't have three points and three points, how can he dare to go to Liangshan?"
??????? Since Meng Zitao is very capable, Liang Youhai¡¯s attitude became enthusiastic. He exchanged business cards and contact information on the Internet with Meng Zitao, and promised to communicate more in the future.
Meng Zitao was of course very happy and agreed happily.
When it was almost time to eat, the real owner Cao Jin finally arrived. He was in his forties and looked very thin and not in good spirits.
As soon as Cao Jin came in, he quickly apologized to Liang Youhai, saying that he had poor eyesight and didn't see anything wrong with the things.
Seeing that Cao Jin did not default on the debt and had a good attitude, Liang Youhai felt much better. However, this matter was stuck in his throat. If it could not be resolved satisfactorily, it would definitely affect the relationship between the two.
Jiang Lexian looked at the time and suggested: "How about we go to dinner first and talk about it after dinner. What do you think?"
"Okay, let's eat first." Everyone has no objection to this.
The group of people found a restaurant not far from the antique shop and enjoyed a rich lunch first.
After the meal, the waiter cleaned the table and made tea. Liang Youhai said: "Everyone understands the truth, so I won't say more. Lao Liang, what do you think?"
Liang Youhai said: "I don't have any requirements, just give me the original statue."
Cao Jin smiled bitterly and said, "Old Liang, I guess I won't be able to do this."
"Why?" Liang Youhai asked with some displeasure. It had only been one night. If he hadn't done it deliberately, he really didn't believe that Cao Jin could have disposed of the statue. Now that Cao Jin said this, he certainly wouldn't be happy.
Cao Jin said: "Old Liang, to tell you the truth, the reason why I wanted to replace that statue was because someone wanted it. So that night, that person had already taken the statue."
Liang Youhai smiled sarcastically: "Why didn't you tell me this earlier? Based on our friendship, would I disagree?"
"It is precisely because of our many years of friendship that I am embarrassed."
Cao Jin smiled and said: "I know this is indeed a coincidence. Doesn't this bring a solution?"
Liang Youhai sneered: "What can you do? Do you have anything else worth 300,000?"
Because he was not familiar with snuff bottles, Liang Youhai originally did not want to choose that pair of snuff bottles. But there was no way, Cao Jin's collection had already been disposed of much worse, and the snuff bottle was worth more than 300,000 yuan, so he chose it.
Speaking of which, this matter has something to do with Liang Youhai's greed. However, if he hadn't been a little confused from drinking, it's unlikely that he wouldn't have been able to tell. Now that both items were found to be fakes, and Cao Jin had already taken away the statue, he would of course think the worst.
Cao Jin said: "You guys know Kang Lixing, he still owes me a lot of money."
"Kang Lixing owes you money? Why would you lend him money?" Jiang Lexian was a little surprised.
Cao Jin smiled bitterly and said: "He and I are related, and when I lent him the money, I didn't know he was an old man. When I found out, I had already lent him the money."
There are many people who are obsessed with antiques, and Kang Lixing is one of them. Because he loves antiques so much, he only buys them but does not sell them, which makes the family's finances tense. Naturally, family relations are also tense. In the end, his wife and children ran away with others.
Because he was reluctant to sell a collection, Kang Lixing borrowed money from friends everywhere. However, this guy often failed to repay the money he borrowed, and he lost his credibility from then on. Everyone in the neighborhood said he was a scoundrel, but he didn't mind. He still went his own way, making everyone ignore him when they met him. It was really sad that he ended up playing with antiques like this.
Jiang Lexian didn¡¯t understand why Cao Jin borrowed so much money from Kang Lixing, but he didn¡¯t want to know, so he said, ¡°With his character, he shouldn¡¯t be able to repay the money, right?¡±
Cao Jin said: "I have a way to solve this problem. If he doesn't have money, just give him something to pay for it."
Liang Youhai didn¡¯t believe it and said, ¡°Since you have a way to make Kang Lixing pay back the money, why didn¡¯t you solve it earlier?¡±
Cao Jin touched his nose: "I have a way, but after using it, Kang Lixing and I turned against each other."
Hearing what he said, everyone understood that this was not an ordinary method, so Liang Youhai didn¡¯t say much more.
