    Seeing that Zheng Anzhi and Xia Kaisheng were about to start a fight, Hua Lao, who was sitting next to Xia Kaisheng, said, "I mean, you two have been fighting for so many years, and you still can't get over it. Besides, let's settle any matters privately.  It¡¯s not a good influence here.¡±

    Xia Kaisheng snorted coldly, and then said to the old man: "Old Wan, from what you say, you seem to be eager for us to fight, right?"

    Wan Lao looked at Xia Kaisheng and said, "Lao Xia, I'm not telling you, you just like to judge a gentleman with a villain's heart. I let you solve it privately, just because I want you to have a fight? It's really inexplicable."

    At this time, Mr. Hua, who was sitting on the left side of Zheng Anzhi, spoke: "Okay, please stop saying a few words. There are juniors watching. If you are not ashamed, I am ashamed!"

    Seeing that there were already players looking towards them, the old people stopped arguing, but this was just a change from light to dark. As long as there was a chance, Zheng Anzhi and Xia Kaisheng would definitely compete.

    At one o¡¯clock, the staff walked to Hua Lao and said: ¡°Hua Lao, the players are all here.¡±

    Mr. Hua looked at the other three old men, who nodded and said, "Let's get started."

    At this time, the person in charge stood on the rostrum and said to the players: "Okay, you all should know the rules. Now I will call the name. Those who are called will take a step forward and prepare to start the appraisal."

    When Meng Zitao and the others came in just now, a staff member gave them a document with the rules of the competition written on it.

    The competition is divided into two stages. Both stages are to identify antiques. The first is to select fakes from five items and then record them. If the results are correct, the reasons for the selection will be explained.

    As for the content of the second stage of the competition, it is not mentioned in the information, and I don¡¯t know whether it is due to confidentiality or other reasons.

    The person in charge then read out the list in his hand: "Number one, Meng Zitao"

    The person in charge read out the names of six people in a row, and they were the top six in the preliminary round.

    "The six of you are ready for appraisal. There are five antiques on the table on the left hand side in front of me. You will step forward to look at them one by one and then make a judgment. First, write on the paper which one is authentic and which one.  These items are fakes. Those who have judged correctly will tell you your reasons after the results are announced. Considering that these items are not in the same category, let me give you a hint. At least two of them are fakes. Well, Meng Zitao will tell you from your  Come first, remember, you only have three minutes at most."

    Meng Zitao nodded, then walked to the table and told the staff that it was time to start. Then he put on his gloves, picked up the first thing on the left and began to identify it.

    The five items on the table are a jadeite ornament, a paper fan with Chen Hongshou's "Shi Chao" in running script, a Tang Dynasty sea animal grape mirror, a Jiajing blue and white Eight Immortals gourd vase, and a bamboo sculpture of Bodhidharma from the early Qing Dynasty.

    Meng Zitao did not use the superpower at the beginning because he also wanted to test himself with Bei. After more than two minutes of identification, he recognized that there was something wrong with the gourd bottle and the statue, and the result given by the superpower was exactly the same.  so.

    The result of the superpower made Meng Zitao very happy. Before this, he was somewhat unsure of his true strength. Today, it seems that his own strength should at least reach the level of an expert.

    Meng Zitao handed the completed conclusion form to the staff, and then it was replaced by Jiang Haoyan for appraisal.

    Xia Kaisheng smiled and said, "Old Zheng, do we want to make a bet?"

    Zheng Anzhi looked at Xia Kaisheng and knew what Xia Kaisheng was thinking, but he had full confidence in Meng Zitao and was not worried about losing the bet, so he said, "What do you want to bet on?"

    Xia Kaisheng smiled and said: "It's a small bet for Yiqing. Let's bet on whether your apprentice is ranked higher or mine. If I win, you just give me your wrong version of Guangxu Yuanbao. If I lose, then  I¡¯ll just give you something of the same value, okay?¡±

    Metal coins need to go through three stages: design, mold making and casting. The so-called wrong version of coins refers to coins with errors in design, mold making or plate making.  Once such misprinted coins are discovered, they are mostly ordered to be recovered and destroyed by relevant government departments, but a small number of "fish that slip through the net" often flow into the society; there are also cases where they cannot be recovered after issuance.  These misprinted coins have become treasures that people are chasing after, and are therefore highly favored by coin collectors.

    The Guangxu Yuanbao in Zheng Anzhi's hands is a wrong edition coin, and it is also an orphan. Its current market value is at least two to three million.

    Therefore, after listening to Xia Kaisheng's words, Zheng Anzhi showed a sarcastic smile: "What a small gambler, but I took the gamble."

      Xia Kaisheng chuckled: "Then we've settled."

    Twenty minutes later, in a tense atmosphere, the person in charge said: "Okay, Mr. Hua will announce the answer next."

    Mr. Hua stood up, cleared his throat, and said with some meaning: "Speaking of which, you can be considered the leaders of the younger generation in our industry, but the result disappointed me. I want to tell you, these five things  Among them, only one is a fake, the bamboo statue of Bodhidharma from the early Qing Dynasty, and the only one who answered correctly was Jiang Haoyan!"

    "ah!"

    As soon as these words came out, the scene was in an uproar. You must know that the person in charge had just said clearly that there were at least two fakes among the items. Now it seems that they were just a trap for the players. They were completely out of control.

    At the same time, Meng Zitao frowned. If his eyesight could be wrong, but the results given by his powers were also wrong, there must be something wrong with it.

    Meng Zitao raised his head and noticed Jiang Haoyan looking at him with a sarcastic look. He glanced back coldly, then walked to the table and picked up the gourd bottle again in the eyes of the people around him.  Looked at it a little.

    Then, Meng Zitao put down the gourd bottle and raised his right hand: "Mr. Hua, I think there may be some misunderstandings."

    "Oh, is there any misunderstanding?" Mr. Hua looked at Zheng Anzhi, and then asked calmly.

    Meng Zitao replied: "I think this gourd bottle is a fake, and there is no doubt about it."

    "Oh, can you give your opinion?" A smile appeared on Mr. Hua's face. Anyone who is familiar with him will know that this is a sign that he is about to get angry.

    "Then I will say a few points. If there is anything wrong, please correct me. In the final analysis, the fundamental method of identifying ancient porcelain is mainly trace science. There are two main kinds of traces to pay attention to, one is craft traces, and the other is traces.  The kind is an aesthetic trace."

    "Among them, the traces of craftsmanship include how to draw the blank, how to prepare the ingredients, etc. Each era generally has its own characteristics. For example, the special requirements for porcelain, including usage requirements and aesthetic requirements, must leave their own unique traces."

    "For example, taking the official kilns of the Ming and Qing dynasties as an example, Chenghua, Jiajing, Kangxi, and Qianlong all had their own hobbies. For example, Chenghua preferred the Hundred Sons Picture because of its longing for children, Jiajing worshiped Taoism, and Kangxi favored the birth of soldiers and horses, etc.  Etc., these are all contents that treasure appraisers must be familiar with, and it is impossible to be pretentious."

    "Let's take a look at this gourd vase. There are no problems in all aspects. The theme is the Eight Immortals, which was also Jiajing's favorite subject. However, the maker didn't have much understanding of the image of the Eight Immortals at that time and copied our modern image of the Eight Immortals.  Go up."

    "If nothing else, there is a problem with the magic weapons held by the Eight Immortals. Among our current Eight Immortals, Lu Dongbin holds a sword, Han Xiangzi plays the flute, and Lan Caihe holds a flower basket, but this was not the image during the Jiajing period"

    Meng Zitao talked eloquently and analyzed the gourd bottle very thoroughly, and the questions he raised were indeed reasonable, and there was nothing to refute.

    This result made Mr. Hua a little embarrassed on the stage. However, apart from the embarrassment, he also felt that something was wrong. He walked down from the stage and took a closer look at the gourd bottle.

    "Yes, there is indeed something wrong with this gourd bottle. However, I borrowed this gourd bottle from a friend. It is obviously a genuine product, so how did it become a fake?" Mr. Hua looked at the person in charge with anger.

    As everyone thought, the reminder just given by the person in charge was indeed just a fascination array to make the contestants mistakenly believe that at least two of the five antiques were fakes. In fact, only one was a fake.

    However, the gourd bottle, which was obviously genuine, has now become a fake. This has not only changed the original intention of the judges, but also has a deeper problem.

    In this regard, the person in charge must have greater responsibility. At this moment, he was sweating all over his body and quickly arranged for security personnel to investigate.

    "Everyone, I'm sorry. It was an oversight in my work that led to such a big mistake and caused inconvenience to everyone."

    The person in charge sincerely apologized to everyone. Of course, this kind of thing cannot be solved as easily as an apology, but these are not issues that Meng Zitao and the others need to think about. What they care most about is the result of the game.

    After this incident, the judges discussed it and decided to re-evaluate the authenticity of the antiques. They started from the table on the left. The results were not unexpected and were consistent with those given by Meng Zitao.

    "Then let me re-submit the list. Meng Zitao, Yan Hongfei, and Liang Yingning all answered correctly."

    At the end of the sentence, Mr. Hua gave Jiang Haoyan a meaningful look.  As for the reason, it was simple, because based on his understanding of Jiang Haoyan, he thought it was impossible for Jiang Haoyan not to see that there was something wrong with the gourd bottle. Then why did Jiang Haoyan give the answer that only one of the bottles was a fake?

    The reason is easy to guess, that is, Jiang Haoyan learned the result in advance.

    Many people have also thought of this, and for a while, their hearts were filled with contempt for Jiang Haoyan and Xia Kaisheng.

    At this time, Xia Kaisheng suddenly said: "I ask the organizing committee to investigate me."

    Wan Lao said calmly: "You don't need to talk about this matter. The organizing committee will also intervene. I hope you can take care of yourself."
