Craftsman: I continue to learn for the sake of the saints

6 month 3 day.

Pengcheng.

Exhibition Center, Hall [-].

The Qin Luo Contemporary Fine Art Porcelain Exhibition was officially launched, and the site was overcrowded, including many foreign faces.

However, at this time, Qin Luo was not there.

He is at Zhang Zhengde's home.

Zhang Zhengde, who has always been high-spirited, now looks like he has suddenly aged a lot. His whole body reveals a decadent temperament, smoking one cigarette after another.

Originally, Qin Luo himself was not even planning to come to this tour exhibition.

Because the porcelain has already been made.

Totally unnecessary.

The audience may not be interested in watching themselves.

It's like the famous saying: You like to eat eggs, do you still have to see the hen?
However, the reason why Qin Luo came here was because he received a call from Zhang Zhengde.

He... punched his eyes.

Last time, when the purple clay teapot was auctioned, Zhang Zhengde said that there was a batch of high-quality porcelain that had to be shipped back from overseas channels, and then entered the auction process.

It should be close by now.

But, unexpectedly, such a thing happened.

He can be regarded as an old appraiser, but he didn't expect that he turned the boat this time.

What capsized him was the Northern Song Dynasty black-glazed rabbit hair-spot Jianzhan (restored product).

Jianzhan can also be regarded as one of the classic porcelains, especially the black glaze is the most famous, the color is like black iron, also known as iron body.

Originated in Fujian Province.

Because the quantity is too rare, the value is also extremely high.

This Jianzhan was once broken.

However, it was mastered by the master, using the "Jinji" method, to repair a cluster of silver cherry blossoms, which looks even more beautiful.

Now that Qin Luo is playing with it in his hands, it can be seen that it is the best of the best.

The one who made this thing must be a master.

At least, in the field of baked porcelain, he is no less than himself.

but……

This is a fake.

Antique.

However, the method is very clever.

It should be made of a few pieces of ancient porcelain, combined with some modern craftsmanship.

The year it was made should have been more than ten years ago.

This is Qin Luo's current preliminary judgment.

Actually, there's nothing wrong with that in itself.

However, using this method to pretend to be the original Northern Song Jianzhan is a real fraud.

The fair price could have been sold for 500 million, but the modern price has been sold for 500 million, which must be a fraud.

at this time.

"How did this game work?"

Qin Luo frowned and asked Zhang Zhengde.

He is also an old man, how could he make such a low-level mistake?

Zhang Zhengde took a deep breath.

"The ins and outs of this thing are very clear. It was bought by Mr. Du at a high price at the Tokyo auction 12 years ago, and the collection certificate is still there."

"I have seen this collection in his home."

"I even asked someone to take the initiative, but now it seems that this person should have seen it a long time ago, and he wanted to play tricks and trick me."

"Hey, this time, I was careless."

The people who are most likely to cheat you are often acquaintances.

Zhang Zhengde's loss is not because of his vision, but because of his trust.

Qin Luo: ...

I was speechless for a while.

I rushed to be taken advantage of.

"This Mr. Du, who is it?"

Qin Luo asked again.

"Du Chongyang used to be a dealer in cultural relics. More than [-] years ago, people from Xiangjiang, when it was first opened, dumped a large number of cultural relics in the capital. They all sold them abroad and earned US dollars."

"After making a fortune, I moved to Tokyo. It's not a reformation. Anyway, I'm doing a business similar to an international broker."

"There are also some business dealings, but not big. This thing, 500 million US dollars, is considered to be in my hands."

Zhang Zhengde said with a long sigh.

There are two types of auctions.

One is consignment.

The other is to take it back by yourself first, and then find a suitable buyer.

For overseas porcelain, most of them, he uses the second channel.

Because, its own strength is no match for those big consignment houses.

This time, Du Chongyang, together with several overseas collectors as "accomplices" and people from international auction houses as "thugs", teamed up to trick Zhang Zhengde.

"Why didn't you call me when you collected it?"

Qin Luo asked lightly.

Zhang Zhengde: ...a wry smile.

The consultant fee is still paid.

But at the time, he really didn't think it was necessary.

After all, I have known this person for 12 years.

I have also seen this collection in his home many times.

So I didn't think about it at all.

Even a little grateful.

Because of the price of 500 million U.S. dollars, after all, he still earned it.

Of course, the premise is that if it is genuine.

The price of Jianzhan is really expensive, especially, it is very popular among collectors in island countries.

Zhang Zhengde actually knew that he could sell this item by himself.

And it's sure to sell for more than $500 million.

However, the key point is that this is equivalent to having a thunder that Du Chongyang has grasped.

If one day, someone reveals it to you, there will definitely be big trouble.

"At that time, you were busy opening the kiln."

"I don't want to bother you either."

"Forget it... 12 million, I can still afford to pay. This time, it's time to spend money to buy a lesson. Master's workmanship, master's craftsmanship, [-] years, it's not too bad to lose."

"I called Du Chongyang, guess what he said?"

"He said that this thing was made by himself. It can be seen by no more than five people in China."

"The old guy, even a little proud, said that I can sell it, and he will stand for me."

As Zhang Zhengde said, he let out a long sigh.

For this sake, it is no longer considered a fake.

As for himself, to be honest, at first, no matter from which angle he looked at it, he didn't think this thing was a fake.

It's just... It doesn't feel right, a very mysterious feeling.

That's why I came here to ask Qin Luo to confirm.

As for Qin Luo, he thoroughly confirmed that it was a fake.

"It's really clever, and there are almost no flaws. The only flaw is that there should be a signature in the silver thread, a small mark, but the silver layer in this place is a little thinner. You can feel it by touching it.”

"Why don't you take it apart and have a look?"

Qin Luo said with a smile.

Now that everything has happened, Zhang Zhengde is also faintly relieved, so there is no need to make the atmosphere so dignified.

Zhang Zhengde: ...

Dumbfounding.

"Can it be repaired if it is disassembled?"

In the first repair, the silver juice has been highly bonded to the tiles, to the point of being watertight.

After taking it apart again, it may be damaged, and it may never be repaired.

Although, Qin Luo has a high probability of having this skill.

However, it is also quite risky.

Moreover, when dismantling, it is necessary to use high temperature to remelt the silver juice, which will easily damage the glaze color.

"If you can dismantle it, you can mend it, it depends on your willingness."

"As for, maybe, I can make up a complete product for you."

Qin Luo said with a smile.
