As the price gradually increased, the value of this set of Xinmang coins returned to the market track. At this time, some customers who were still dreaming of picking up bargains gave up one after another. The remaining people were more careful when calling prices. In the end, they had to wait for a long time before another price appeared.
"Three hundred and fifty thousand!" When he felt that he had reached a certain point, Zhang Jingqiang started to quote, and he increased the price by fifty thousand as soon as he opened his mouth, which made everyone raise their eyebrows.
Then, another person increased the price by 10,000 yuan, but Zhang Jing increased the price by 20,000 yuan, and the deal was finally sold at 380,000 yuan.
The subsequent auctions were not as unexpected as the first one. Although the competition was fierce during this period, the transaction price was rarely much higher than the market price, so it was still cost-effective.
In addition, just as Meng Zitao had thought before, he is now attracting much attention. As soon as he opens his quotation, someone will follow. One of the boxwood carved pen holders in the early Qing Dynasty was finally compared to the market because of his participation. The transaction was completed at a price that was 20% higher than the price, which made Meng Zitao quite dumbfounded.
At 12 o'clock, the morning auction ended. The successful bidders went to pay to get the items back. Some of the others went to the temporary restaurant to eat, and some went to eat in restaurants outside.
After Meng Zitao and the others got their things, they left the teahouse and went to a nearby restaurant to get a private room.
After ordering the food, Ma Xingwei said unhappily: "Xi Zhengzhen and the others are so arrogant now. They didn't even tell everyone. They took it upon themselves to take the lots that were not included in the exhibition to the auction, and put them in the second place." One, if it wasn¡¯t for the sake of our Antiques Association, I would have had to argue with him just now.¡±
Zhang Jingqiang snorted coldly: "Zhongshan wolves are from the Zhongshan wolf family. They run rampant when they succeed. This is the kind of people they are talking about!"
Cheng Qiheng said: "He Yu Ziming has been the president for so many years, I think he should change his position."
Ma Xingwei agreed: "Yes, after the auction is over, we should re-elect the president."
Everyone agreed with this. It was not that they deliberately pulled Yu Ziming down because of conflicts. It was actually that Yu Ziming and they had gone too far. Now they even ignored the most basic rules. So what else? That¡¯s easy to say!
After everyone divided the work, Meng Zitao suddenly thought of a question and said, "I see that Yu Ziming is also a smart man. Why is he so eager for quick success and instant benefit all of a sudden?"
It¡¯s really strange when everyone thinks about it. Yu Ziming has been the president for so many years. Although sometimes he handles things a little biasedly, he is still qualified in terms of his job. How come such a big change suddenly happened now?
Zhang Jingqiang's brain reacted the fastest. After a while, he said: "By the way, part of the reason why Yu Ziming can sit in the position of president is because of his relative, right? I remember that his relative is not too young. , isn¡¯t it almost time?¡±
Ma Xingwei said: "Mr. Zhang, if you have channels for this matter, just give me a call and ask."
"OK¡¡"
Zhang Jingqiang went out to make a phone call. After a while, he came back with a smile: "You're right. That relative of Yu Ziming has now taken a back seat."
With Zhang Jingqiang, there is no need to say much else. Yu Ziming just felt that he had no backing, so he just wanted to take a handful and leave.
Wang Zhixuan sneered and said: "This guy doesn't know what's going on in his head. Just because he has done so many things in the association, even if his relatives withdraw, will everyone disagree with him being the president?"
Ma Xingwei chuckled and said: "The world is full of wonders, but some people like to speculate on others with malicious intent. Can we change them?"
"This kind of person is just smart." Wang Menghan said.
At this time, the waiters began to serve the dishes one after another, and Cheng Qiheng greeted everyone: "Ignore Yu Ziming, let's eat first"
Since there was an auction in the afternoon, everyone did not drink, so they ate quickly, and within a short time, everyone was finished.
Zhang Jingqiang patted his belly and said with a smile: "Xiao Meng, should you tell me now what happened to those coins just now?"
Zhang Jingqiang¡¯s words silenced the room, and everyone turned their attention to Meng Zitao.
Meng Zitao smiled and said: "I didn't find anything wrong with the other coins, but if one knife equals five thousand, I think it must be a fake."
Wang Zhixuan asked with some confusion: "Why do you think so? Isn't it just because of the difference in length? You have to know that the gold staggered knives at that time were probably not made from the same model, so the size was slightly different. This??It has been confirmed by archaeological results. "
Meng Zitao shook his head: "If it was just because of the length issue, I would definitely not come to this conclusion easily."
"why?"
¡°First of all, I think there is something wrong with the word ¡®one knife¡¯ being mixed with gold.¡±
"One sword equals five thousand. The two words on the ring are the method of using gold. Although this method is an inherited pre-Qin technology, it has been lost after the Han Dynasty. Many people in later generations want to imitate gold-wrapped knives, but the gold is wrong, and an expert can tell it is fake at a glance.
Hearing what Meng Zitao said, Cheng Qiheng asked: "Do you also have a gold knife?"
Meng Zitao smiled and said: "I just received one some time ago. It's still early anyway. Let's go to my store and sit for a while, just in time to discuss it."
Cheng Qiheng was a little speechless and said: "Why do you have so many good things? I even want to go to your place to rob."
Zhang Jingqiang pointed at the army and smiled: "Don't be beaten if you fail to rob then"
After coming out of the hotel, everyone walked and discussed the appraisal method of "one knife equals five thousand".
Ma Xingwei said: "Nowadays, the identification of gold-wrapped knives is really confusing. Let's talk about the material. Although from the data, one knife equals five thousand is considered to be a copper casting process, and one knife is inlaid with gold wire. But now what about gold, alloy, and gilding? , copper, copper alloy, and gold-plated coins seem to be available, and more importantly, coins made of these materials have been sold in some auction companies, and I don¡¯t know what to say.¡±
Wang Zhixuan shook his head: "So, some auction companies really can't tell now. However, one thing is that gilding is definitely impossible. Otherwise, why bother inlaying gold wire?"
Ma Xingwei said: "Anyway, I think this kind of coin is really hard to touch. Even the records in historical records are vague. I can't even tell where the coin was minted. It's too easy to fake."
Meng Zitao smiled and said: "It's not that exaggerated. If they are making a fake, they will not be able to pass the test if they get the wrong amount of money first."
Ma Xingwei said: "This is not necessarily true. Now that technology is so advanced, I think it will be possible to successfully imitate it sooner or later."
"At least it hasn't been successful yet"
Meng Zitao took everyone to the antique shop, and then took out the gold-staggered knife and put it together with the gold-stacked knife that Zhang Jingqiang had just photographed. At first glance, there seemed to be no problem.
"This gold-staggered knife is indeed well made, but if you compare it carefully, it is not difficult to find the problems."
Meng Zitao pointed to his gold staggered knife and introduced: "First of all, my coin is very finely minted. The three seal characters 'ƽÎåǧ' are written very tall and straight, very energetic, and the money body is also thick. Finally, The key thing is that the 'Yidao' is made of gold, and the gold is very solid and smooth, so it cannot be imitated by counterfeiters."
"Speaking of which, after I got this gold-stacked knife, I also researched the gold-stacked craftsmanship. The original method must not be found, but I also found some references from some materials, such as gold-stacked silver. The mosaic method"
The gold and silver inlay method is divided into four steps. The first step is to make a pre-engraved groove on the mother mold so that the gold and silver can be embedded in the groove after the vessel is cast;
The second step is chiseling. After the bronze is cast, the grooves still need to be processed and chiseled. For fine decoration, patterns need to be drawn on the surface with ink pens, and then shallow grooves are carved according to the patterns. In ancient times, this was called engraving, or gold engraving. ;
The third step is inlaying; the last step is grinding. Since the gold wire or gold sheet is inlaid, the surface of the bronze is not smooth. It must be ground with a grinding stone to make the surface of the gold wire or gold sheet and the bronze naturally smooth. A perfect fit.
"Having talked about the inlay method of gold and silver, let's take a look at my gold and silver knife"
Meng Zitao first introduced the craftsmanship of gold and silver, and told some of his own inferences, and then started to explain the problem of another gold and silver knife.
After listening to Meng Zitao's explanation, Wang Zhixuan said: "Xiao Meng, what you said is reasonable and well-founded, and I agree with your point of view, but your evidence is still not solid enough" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel. com
