    The reason why Meng Zitao felt something was wrong was because these pair of small yellow-glazed bowls were so exquisite.

    The yellow-glazed porcelain of the Ming Dynasty was actually iron-yellow glaze, which used iron as a colorant and was fired in a low-temperature oxidizing atmosphere.  Firing began in the Hongwu Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty, and was continued throughout the Ming and Qing dynasties almost without interruption. It is the bulk and mainstream variety of yellow-glazed porcelain.

    In the Xuande period, the production process was improved compared to the previous dynasty. Instead of directly applying glaze to the astringent body, a layer of sweet white glaze was first hung, and then covered with yellow glaze after firing. The glaze surface was often shallow and elegant in color.  The phenomenon of cellulite is more obvious.  There were further improvements during the Chenghua period.

    The yellow glaze porcelain of the Hongzhi period was praised by later generations as the best of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Compared with the Chenghua ware, the glaze color of the Hongzhi yellow glaze was more delicate, just like chicken fat, so it was also called "delicate yellow" and "chicken fat yellow".  ".

    But as the saying goes, it flourishes but then declines. Although the Zhengde yellow glaze has inherited the charm of the previous dynasty, it cannot produce the taste and feel of the Hongzhi period. Its yellow color is slightly darker than that of the Hongzhi ware, and it is suspected of being old.  The Jiajing yellow glaze has a darker glaze color and is much less delicate. There are few high-quality masterpieces.

    So the question arises. With the level of craftsmanship on yellow glaze during the Jiajing period, it is difficult to produce such a high-quality yellow glaze small bowl. Of course, it is not without the possibility of accidents, but this has made Meng Zitao suspicious.  heart of.

    Next, Meng Zitao carefully observed every detail of the pair of yellow-glazed bowls, and sighed in his heart. If he hadn't been experienced and possessed special powers, it would have been difficult to tell that they were imitations.

    Everyone was waiting for Meng Zitao¡¯s appraisal to end, but after waiting for a long time, Meng Zitao didn¡¯t stop. Lu Linna thought this was a normal situation because she didn¡¯t know much about antique appraisal, but He Wanyi and Yu Weigang felt something was wrong.

    Yu Weigang couldn't help but asked: "Zitao, are these bowls wrong?"

    "Ah?" Lu Linna was very surprised: "This is for my grandpa, there shouldn't be anything wrong with it, right? Moreover, this is not the first time that Xiaolu has given porcelain to grandpa. They all bought it at the same place, so there shouldn't be anything wrong with it, right?"  Will there be any problems?"

    Yu Weigang said: "Linna, you don't know much about antiques. In fact, even seniors with decades of experience sometimes make mistakes, so even if they are bought in the same place, they may not be guaranteed to be authentic.  "

    Meng Zitao nodded and said: "That's true. Especially now that there are so many high-quality imitations, even some experienced experts will be deceived. Therefore, it is normal to be discerning in this industry. As for this one, it is enough to be fake.  High imitation."

    Meng Zitao explained the problems with this pair of yellow-glazed small bowls in detail. Basically, there is no difference between them and the original ones. The only problems are the details. Masters can spot these high imitations when they come across them.

    "So, it is possible that the antique store made a mistake when soliciting. Of course, this is just my guess. Only the parties involved know the specific situation."

    After hearing this, Yu Weigang thought for a while and said to his wife: "I think this matter must be explained clearly to your grandfather. If it is a misunderstanding, it's okay. If you deliberately take the fake to be true, it would be too abominable."  ¡±

    Lu Linna shook her head: "It's not as bad as you think, and you don't think about it. If grandpa really finds out that there is something wrong with the porcelain, won't they lose more than the gain?"

    Yu Weigang spread his hands: "I didn't say there must be something wrong with them, but who knows? Maybe they are so bold?"

    Lu Linna said: "They have indeed been targeting you, but don't think they are so bad."

    Yu Weigang waved his hand: "Okay, we don't need to fight over this kind of thing. You go back to Xiangjiang and tell grandpa about this matter. He can judge the right and wrong by himself."

    Lu Linna nodded. She still felt that although her cousin's family had problems of one kind or another, they still couldn't deceive their elders in such a bad way.

    Next, Yu Weigang and his family took Meng Zitao and his wife to play in Pengcheng for a few days. It happened to be during the National Day, it was very lively, and everyone had a great time.

    Meng Zitao said goodbye to Yu Weigang, and then set off for Yingdu to attend the wedding of the army.

    Meng Zitao took He Wanyi out of the station exit and saw the army that had recovered well.

    Meng Zitao walked up to us and said, "I told you that you wouldn't come to pick us up, so why did you come?"

    Dajun chuckled and said, "I'm quite bored at home, so I might as well come to pick you up so that I can stretch my muscles."

    Meng Zitao said as he walked: "You are about to be the groom, do you still have nothing to do?"

    Dajun said: "What can I do?"The role of an auction company, in abstract terms, is actually an intermediary, connecting buyers and sellers. This is on the surface, but it is hard to say what happens behind the scenes. It may involve many dark sides that ordinary people cannot imagine.

    But generally speaking, the core competitiveness of an auction company is the auction items, and all work is centered around the auction items, including customer relations, the market, business management, etc.

    Take the customer relationship as an example, the brand of a large auction company itself has a kind of appeal and trust endorsement.  To give a very simple example, if you want to sell a villa worth tens of millions, will you find a large and powerful company to sell it, or a small company?  I believe it goes without saying that everyone will definitely choose the former, so that they will feel at ease.

    The same is true for auction companies. Unless the client has something up his sleeve, who would find an auction company with a questionable reputation?

    Therefore, auction companies with strong capital and good reputation will become stronger and stronger, while some small companies can only survive in the cracks. If the market is bleak, they will have no choice but to go bankrupt.

    But now that the market is booming, unless it is not managed well, it should not go bankrupt. Lu Gaoxing's auction company has been open for five years. If it was not managed well, it would have gone bankrupt long ago. It seems that it has encountered other things.

    As for the problem Lu Gaoxing encountered, it was very simple. There was an insider in the company, and this insider was the appraiser he invited. The company's collapse was a normal outcome.

    Lu Gaoxing smiled bitterly and said: "He made several high imitations as arranged in advance. After the auction was successful, he made money and went abroad to live happily. But I was in a miserable state. I have worked hard to run the auction company for five years.  I can only watch it collapse.¡±

    Meng Zitao can also understand his helplessness. The auction company relies on its reputation. Now that its reputation is gone, how can customers trust it?

    In this regard, apart from a few words of comfort, he had nothing to say. After all, the main responsibility for this matter still lies with Lu Gaoxing. In ordinary auction companies, how can there be only one appraiser to make the decision? What if there is an eye?  So the current situation is also the result of Lu Gaoxing's own carelessness.

    Lu Gaoxing also felt quite regretful at this time and lamented: "I am doing this myself. I can't blame anyone else. I just wronged my few hard-working employees."

    Lu Gaoxing paused and continued: "To be honest, this incident has hit me hard. I no longer want to get involved in this industry. Now I still have more than twenty antiques that I originally collected and want to deal with.  , it turns out that I got the big shot, and I heard Zhong Feng said that I am your friend, so I want to ask you for a favor. "

    "You want to put your antiques up for auction?"

    "Yes, if you find it convenient, we can go to my place now."

    "This is simple, let's leave now."

    When Meng Zitao heard that this was the case, he had nothing to think about and immediately agreed.

    Without further ado, everyone tidied up, took the car to Lugao Connoisseur, and saw the antiques.

    Lu Gaoxing turned on the light, pointed at the antiques in the room and said, "These are the items that I have carefully selected over the years and want to make them auction treasures."

    Meng Zitao looked around and found that all of these antiques were indeed high-quality. He was a little jealous after seeing them so well-informed, which shows the high level of antiques here.

    However, when Meng Zitao saw a piece of porcelain placed in the corner, he was slightly surprised and walked over to take a look.

    This is a gold-painted pastel vase from the Qianlong official kiln. The content is very unique. On it, you can see a rabbit sitting in the golden palace as the emperor. The rabbit wears a crown and a python dragon robe. Sitting on the throne, he looks like both a rabbit and a dragon.  people.  The red ground pastel and gold are highlighted, showing elegance and preciousness.

    The painting is delicate and neat, and the rabbit¡¯s eyes are sparkling; the gold jewelry on the crown looks real; the dragon robe and jade belt, the brocade-woven dragon lines and jade inlays can all be seen.  It's so delicate and gorgeous that it can't be described with words and ink.  At the bottom, there are two characters "Xin Mao" in gold seal script.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
