The man picked up his collection, put it in front of his nose and took a whiff. His expression changed immediately. There was indeed a faint smell of lacquer on the lacquerware, and his collection should be from the early Ming Dynasty. According to Meng Zitao, it is indeed impossible to return it. The flavor remains.
"We can put down the judgment criteria of taste first, and then talk about the craftsmanship of this device"
¡° After all, it was a collection of hundreds of thousands, but Meng Zitao still gave a detailed explanation.
"How dare! How dare he fool me like this!"
The man looked furious and shouted that he wanted to settle the score with the buyer. He thanked Meng Zitao, turned around and left.
Meng Zitao shook his head secretly. This kind of lacquerware is very easy to identify, and the man who was deceived had his own reasons.
After the man left, a middle-aged man couldn¡¯t wait to put his things in front of Meng Zitao.
This is a porcelain boy statue. The porcelain statue is made of white porcelain, which is white and delicate, and the glaze is rich and moist. The doll has a plump face, a wide nose, beautiful eyes, red lips and jade teeth, and a smiling face. It is wearing a long gown with ice plum patterns on it, and its vertical appearance is smooth and very expressive. The doll has a playful face and colorful decorations, making it look simple and cute.
When he saw this child statue, Meng Zitao was very surprised, because the characteristics of this porcelain statue were too obvious, and there was a triangular defect at the bottom. He recognized it at a glance, and it was the one from Wang Qingchen's collection that was defrauded. One piece.
Some time ago, Wang Qingchen was defrauded of more than a dozen fine collections. The story is quite cliche, it was just that the scammer was playing a long game.
Wang Qingchen had liquidity problems in his family business and was eager to dispose of his collection and exchange it for cash. Originally, it would be better for Meng Zitao to handle this matter. Whether it was through private channels or auctions, he would be given a good price.
However, Wang Qingchen was still a bit embarrassed. He and Meng Zitao were just ordinary friends. He was somewhat jealous of Meng Zitao's current high achievements. A friend happened to introduce him to someone who opened an antique shop. The channels are said to have distributors in Xiangjiang.
Wang Qingchen wanted to give it a try. The owner of the store is a middle-aged man who always smiles when he meets everyone. He is also kind-faced. He doesn¡¯t say that he is a good-looking person, but at least he won¡¯t feel disgusted when dealing with this person.
Wang Qingchen had a good impression of this person, but after all he was a businessman and was used to the sophistication of people, so he was still a little wary in his heart. He just asked him to sell two ordinary collections on his behalf, gave him a receipt, and put The payment method and pricing have been agreed upon.
And, just in case, he asked people to walk around the store to see if the things were still there.
Within three days, both items were sold at a price that Wang Qingchen was satisfied with.
The owner of the store told Wang Qingchen that the buyer was from Xiangjiang and that he would bring Wang Qingchen¡¯s collection to the store if he still had it. He would then contact the buyer and it would be disposed of in two days.
At this time, Wang Qingchen was not careless yet and just brought two collections, which were more valuable this time. Likewise, it was all processed within two days.
The opportunity was not to be missed, and Wang Qingchen's family was really in need of money, so he sent all the dozen collections he planned to dispose of to that store. As before, he inspected the goods, appraised them, and wrote down the receipts. These collections totaled three hundred pieces. Six hundred and fifty thousand, he thought the number sounded pretty good at the time.
However, by the evening of that day, Wang Qingchen learned the bad news. The store had not been open all afternoon, and when he went to look at it, it was already empty.
Wang Qingchen immediately realized that the store had taken away more than three million yuan of his goods, so he immediately reported the case.
After investigation, the police learned that this person was actually a criminal who was on the run for fraud online. He had been hiding in this antique shop through disguise, and the ID card he used to register with the landlord was a forgery.
The criminal police officer in charge of this case told Wang Qingchen that this was the first time a case like this had occurred. Sooner or later, such a large number of high-quality antiques would appear on the market, and it would be a matter of time to solve the case. If Wang Qingchen had friends in this field, he could Let your friends pay attention.
These words are somewhat comforting to Wang Qingchen, but in any case, more than three million is not a small number. What's more, it is still a time when the family is in urgent need of money. Thinking about it makes me feel aggrieved.
When this kind of thing happened, although Wang Qingchen was a little embarrassed to see Meng Zitao, he could only go to the door and ask Meng Zitao to help pay more attention.
Wang Qingchen¡¯s experience is a warning to Meng Zitao. When encountering problems, he must not let his unwarranted face problems affect his decision-making. At the same time, he believed that Wang Qingchen¡¯s lost collection would not be easy to recover because the criminals were smarter and couldYou can smuggle antiques abroad and sell them.
"What Meng Zitao didn't expect was that he encountered one of them today.
"What's your surname, sir?"
"My name is Qiu Deye."
"Hello Mr. Qiu, could I ask about the origin of this statue?" Meng Zitao asked with a smile.
"This is inherited from my family, will there be any problem?" Qiu Deye asked nervously.
Meng Zitao knew as soon as he heard that this man was lying, and there must be something wrong in his heart. Maybe the middle-aged man had the collection that Wang Qingchen lost.
"This does not mean that there are no problems with ancestral artifacts. After all, counterfeiting of antiques has existed since ancient times. For example, counterfeiting of porcelain was rampant during the Republic of China."
Meng Zitao first explained, also to test Qiu Deye, and obviously saw a trace of surprise in Qiu Deye's eyes, so he said with a smile: "Of course, I just say this to remind everyone, not to say that your plastic surgery There is something wrong with the porcelain. On the contrary, this is a fine work, but unfortunately, there are some problems with preservation. There are defects in this place, which will affect the value to some extent."
"What's the point of selling it? I'm scared!" Qiu Deye muttered in his heart and asked with a smile: "Teacher Meng, how much is this thing of mine worth?"
Meng Zitao pretended to think about it: "The market value is about 110,000."
After all, it is just a plastic porcelain statue about seven or eight centimeters high. The price is already very good. The middle-aged man is quite satisfied and is ready to leave with his things in his arms.
"Mr. Qiu, I am very interested in this plastic porcelain. Can you leave me your contact information?"
Qiu Deye said with some embarrassment: "Teacher Meng, I'm really sorry. This thing is indeed passed down from my ancestors. I brought it here today just to confirm the value and have no intention of selling it."
"You are worried about being cheated."
Meng Zitao sneered in his heart and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, this is my business card. Whenever you have the idea of ??transferring it, you can contact me."
Qiu Deye took the business card, expressed his gratitude to Meng Zitao, and then took the things and left. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
