Chapter 509 Everyone's Doubts

The room fell silent, and everyone, including Zhou Yafang, focused their eyes on the bottle on the table. It was the first time for others to see this bottle, so they naturally wanted to find out what it was, and it was worth Fang Ming's hand to take it down. Although it was not the first time for Zhou Yafang to see it, but because she hadn't seen it before, she naturally had to study it again at this time.

After watching for about ten minutes, Si Kongzhe first reached out to pick it up, studied it up and down for a while, then handed it to Wu Ze, then Lu Yao, Jiang Wen came in at some point, so she also After studying for a long time, it was finally handed over to Zhou Yafang.

Zhou Yafang took the longest time to watch. She watched for half an hour before slowly putting the bottle back on the table.

"This...Fang Ming, how much did you spend to get this thing?"

Wu Ze hesitated for a moment. He really couldn't see what was going on with the bottle in front of him, so he wanted to know how much Fang Ming spent to get it.

"Twenty dollars."

Fang Ming nodded, there is nothing to hide.

"15000 yuan? To be honest, don't say 15000 yuan for this thing, even if it's 1500 yuan, I won't sell it. Because... this thing looks a little fake."

Sikong Zhe stared at the bottle on the table. He is also an experienced person. Although there are tens of thousands of antiques in this world, he can tell a little bit no matter what. After all, as long as there are antiques, there are always certain aspects. are interlinked.

For example, although blue and white and bronze wares of the Yuan Dynasty are two fundamentally different antiques, they still have some things in common when they are appraised. For example, the decorations of the same dynasty are the same in style, so whether they are used on bronze or porcelain, they all show the same or the same style.

These are all well-known to experienced collectors. Therefore, those who can appraise porcelain can generally appraise bronze more or less.

Sikong Zhe has been playing with antiques for many years, so experience is naturally not a problem, but he can't see anything special about the bottle that Fang Ming picked up this time - if it wasn't something that Fang Ming picked up, he's afraid Wouldn't even look at it.

"I don't like this bottle either...or I can't see what's so good about it."

Wu Ze also nodded, and said, "Sikong Zhe is right. If I saw this bottle elsewhere, I wouldn't sell it no matter how much it costs."

"It's the same for me. When I went to dig out the old house, if Fang Ming didn't want this bottle, I wouldn't have sold it."

Zhou Yafang briefly explained what had happened before, and Wu Ze and Sikong Zhe had more weird expressions on their faces after listening to it.

"This...Fang Ming, this bottle is for people's layout, and you bought it?"

The expression on Wu Ze's face is as weird as it is. Is there anyone in this world who uses real things to deceive people?

"Isn't it? Fang Ming, what kind of play are you playing? Can you also pick up leaks in this kind of game?"

Sikong Zhe's eyes widened in surprise. If this bottle is really as good as Fang Ming thinks, then it's a bit too amazing.

"what!"

Fang Ming raised his head and laughed, and said, "This... leaks are everywhere, who said you can't find leaks in this situation?"

"This one……"

All can only be speechless, Fang Ming's words make people speechless, after all, it is indeed like this, the matter of picking up leaks is not just about buying the most valuable antiques with the least money, but also that picking up leaks is accidental, It often appears when it is unexpected.

"Fang Ming, what is the origin of this bottle?"

Zhou Yafang's brows were tightly frowned. She had seen it once when she was at the so-called Eighth Master's place, and just now. She must admit that she still couldn't see it. If it wasn't for Fang Ming, she would have seen it many times before. After proving her ability in appraisal, she would also think that Fang Ming made a hole in this antique.

"That's right, Fang Ming, let's hear what you say, and let us learn a lot."

Wu Ze patted himself on the forehead. He knew that no matter how hard he tried, he might not be able to think of a reason for this matter, so he simply didn't think about it and listened to what Fang Ming had to say.

"Then tell me, why don't you want to sell even if you see this bottle?"

Fang Ming looked at Wu Ze and Sikong Zhe, they both said just now that they would not sell even if they saw this bottle, even if it only cost 1500 yuan.

"This... I can't say it. If I have to say it, I think this bottle is too gorgeous... It's gorgeous to a certain extent, but it feels fake to me, or it's a little too real. "

Wu Ze hesitated for a moment, and his tone was a little hesitant when he spoke, obviously he didn't know how to describe his feeling when he saw this bottle.

"I feel the same way, it's a little too pretty, so I won't buy this bottle either."

Sikong Zhe glanced at Wu Ze, he didn't expect Wu Ze to have the same feeling as himself, but this also further proved that his opinion was correct.

Fang Ming is not surprised that Sikong Zhe and Wu Ze use their own feelings to appraise antiques. People who have played with antiques for many years attach great importance to their own feelings when they see antiques, and such intuitions are often correct.

"Fang Ming, I also have the same feeling. The bottle in front of me is so real, so if you didn't want this bottle when I was with the eighth master, I wouldn't have sold it."

Zhou Yafang looked at Wu Ze, and then at Sikong Zhe. It seemed that the three of them had the same attitude towards the bottle in front of them.

"This... can I come in?"

Everyone was taken aback by the sudden voice. When they saw it, they found that a man in his thirties was standing at the door of the reception room. When he was speaking, he first looked at Fang Ming, then at A glance at the bottle on the table.

"This is six sons."

Zhou Yafang introduced this to Fang Ming. The sixth son is actually a celebrity in the collector circle of Ningdong City. His appraisal ability is very average, but the news is very wide. He can inquire about any possible antiques. Everyone in Antique naturally knew him - Sikong Zhe and Wu Ze had been in Ningdong City for a long time, so naturally they all knew Liu Zi.

"Oh, six sons, come in and sit down."

Fang Ming had heard from Zhou Yafang before that this time it was the six sons who called to tell the news, and Fang Ming would not blame him for the arrangements made by Ba Ye and others. This is a very normal thing in the antique business—— ——Liu Zi is just a middleman and not a layout person, and even if he is a layout person, he can only deceive people who have no vision.

Seeing Wu Ze, Sikong Zhe and others sitting on the sofa, the six sons felt even more disturbed. They are all big names in the antique collector field. Of course, it belongs to the kind where he knows Sikong Zhe and others but Sikong Zhe and others don't know him.

If it was normal, he might not dare to come in, but at this time his curiosity prevailed. He really wanted to know the origin of the bottle that Fang Ming bought from Ba Ye for 15000 yuan: Fang Ming's miraculous story of picking up leaks There are a lot of rumors outside, but few can see it with their own eyes. Now that such an opportunity is in front of him, how could he be willing to let it go?

He sat down in the corner of the sofa, and when he sat, Liu Zi was only sitting on half of his buttocks, and then said cautiously: "This... Boss Zhou, after you left, I went to the man named Ba Ye, he said You guys took this bottle down, I'm curious so I'll take a look."

Liu Zi knew that if he hadn't called Zhou Yafang before, he would probably be embarrassed to come now.

"Okay, no problem, just listen, we are also studying it."

Zhou Yafang nodded lightly, the six sons were also traveling together, and this bottle would have been found if it wasn't for him, so since he came, it's nothing to listen to. It's a good thing, because through his mouth, Fang Ming's leaks can be spread, which is an excellent thing for Fang Ming's or Guxuanzhai's reputation.

So, she even poured Liu Zi a cup of tea.

Fang Ming picked up the bottle on the table, looked at it for a while, and said with a smile: "You just said that you don't like this bottle, the main reason is because it is too beautiful, or it is too real. A little bit. The reason why you feel this way is because you don’t know what it is, and if you know it, you will find that it is the strangest thing if it does not have such characteristics.”

"Oh? Fang Ming, what the hell is this?"

Si Kongzhe shook his head, and continued: "I've seen quite a few antiques over the years, and even more porcelain, but I've never seen one like the one in front of me."

"Ah."

Fang Ming smiled and said: "I haven't seen it because there are very few of these things now. I haven't seen the real thing before, but only read it in the materials. Second, this is not porcelain at all, at least not completely. It’s porcelain. It’s really difficult for traditional porcelain to have such a luster, which is why you think it’s really overdone and looks fake.”

"what?"

Hearing what Fang Ming said, Wu Ze became anxious, and said loudly, "Fang Ming, don't be fooled, and tell me what it is here!"
