Chapter 168: Desperate (thanks for the unsealing of Wangqing)
"If I hadn't spoken by the authentic phoenix crown of the Ming Dynasty, I would have been reluctant to take it out." As he spoke, Lao Tan still felt a little reluctant.
Zhang Chen was also a little surprised. He had never seen Feng Guan before. When he saw him, he was really elegant and luxurious, not vulgar at all.
Many people think that the phoenix crown can only be worn by people of the queen level, but in fact it is not only that.
The phoenix crown is the ritual crown worn by ancient noble women. In fact, the color crown used by women in the Ming Dynasty was also called the phoenix crown. It is said that Empress Ma at that time said that the general meaning was.
"I, a woman from the Ming Dynasty, can wear a phoenix crown and a robe when she is rich and poor, no matter how rich she is, she can wear a phoenix crown and a robe when she is married!"
But I haven't said this before, no one knows it.
Therefore, this phoenix crown is mostly used during weddings.
The phoenix crown and red veil were gradually popular in the Ming and Qing dynasties.
Guan Wenxian fell in love with him after just one look, his eyes full of love.
"How is it? Mr. Guan, are you still satisfied?" Old Tan asked Guan Wenxian quickly while Zhang Chen was not coming to destroy the situation.
"Looks good." Guan Wenxian nodded.
This phoenix crown is more beautiful than he thought, and he thought it would be a bit tacky.
However, while he liked it, Guan Wenxian did not forget to ask Zhang Chen. At this moment, he said to Zhang Chen: "Brother Zhang Chen, what do you think?"
"It's pretty. If you like it, you can collect it." Zhang Chen said softly.
The workmanship and appearance of this phoenix crown are quite good, even if placed at home, it is pleasing to the eye.
When he heard this, Lao Tan smiled with a black face.
Haha? The treasure appraiser? Amazing eyesight? Still young!
Hu Jun secretly gave Lao Tan a thumbs up.
Lao Tan stretched out a finger and said to Guan Wenxian: "This number."
Guan Wenxian looked at Zhang Chen and asked about Zhang Chen’s meaning.
Zhang Chen touched his chin: "This price is OK, it can be charged for 100,000 yuan."
"100,000?" Old Tan, who was already happy, immediately lost his face when he heard this number.
He stretched out a finger and meant one million, what about one hundred thousand!
"Where are you like this? I'm talking about one million, but who told you it's one hundred thousand!" Lao Tan said anxiously.
Seeing this, Guan Wenxian was also a little anxious and couldn't help but pull Zhang Chen. He really liked the phoenix-crowned Guan Wenxian and was willing to buy it even if the price was appropriate. Zhang Chen said 100,000 yuan, wasn't that what made Lao Tan anxious?
Zhang Chen seemed a little embarrassed: "So you said one million, then forget it, this thing can be at most 120,000."
"Damn, I'm the phoenix crown from the Ming Dynasty, 120,000 yuan? Are you sending the beggar? Lao Hu, you say something!"
Hu Jun coughed, and he didn't want to get involved. Seeing that Lao Tan was anxious, he had to say from the side: "Brother Zhang, are you too much? There were only four phoenix crowns in the Ming Dynasty in the museum. Even if this phoenix crown was not worn by a concubine, it was worn by a noble man. It was of great value, and at least it would cost hundreds of thousands."
"Of course I understand the preciousness of the phoenix crown, but it is only genuine products that can be sold so expensively." Zhang Chen replied.
"You said this thing is fake? Do you have any evidence?" Old Tan smiled coldly, and he didn't believe it anymore. Zhang Chen's eyes were really that vicious!
He was very confident about this thing. He used his connections to find a master who imitated it himself. The cost alone was already very high.
The master of imitation is quite skillful. He could not even see some of the antiques imitated before. Old Tan did not believe that Zhang Chen could tell the truth at a glance.
Hu Jun shook his head and said to Guan Wenxian: "Brother Guan, this phoenix crown is really good. Brother Zhang quoted the price is indeed low. Moreover, if this thing is fake, why would Brother Zhang give a price of more than 100,000 yuan? Ordinary guys are not worth that much money."
When Guan Wenxian heard this, it seemed that the same reason was true. If it was a fake, why did Zhang Chen say it was worth 120,000?
Soon, Zhang Chen gave an answer, and he said, "The reason why he offered a price of 120,000 is that the pearls, rubies, and the phoenix hairpins inserted on it are good. If you take them off and sell them, you can sell them for tens of thousands of yuan. If you want to give 120,000 by hand, it is not high or low."
"Then you said he was fake, is there any evidence?" Guan Wenxian whispered.
"Well... Mr. Guan, how long ago did you care about this Boss Tan asking for Feng Guan?"
Guan Wenxian calculated the time: "It's about fifteen days."
"Oh." Zhang Chen nodded and looked at Feng Guan carefully.
The Divine Eye told him the real price of this thing, but did not tell him where to fake it and where there was a problem. Zhang Chen had to find it himself.
If this thing is a fake, what should be done well in fifteen days?
After watching carefully, two minutes later, Zhang Chen cleared his throat and said with a smile: "The evidence is naturally there. This phoenix crown is indeed exquisite and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false. However, some can still be seen from the year. Because the time is short, this phoenix crown does not have time to get used to it. There is a saying that people should have heard of it. If a pearl is old, the pearl will change color and lose its luster after being left for a long time. The gloss of this pearl is attractive, and it doesn't seem that long. It should be that the fake master has no time to carefully select the materials, which leads to the slight differences in the color of the gems and pearls on it. Although it is old, there are more or less artificial traces."
When Zhang Chen looked at the antiques carefully, he found that the price of several pearls and gems was far from each other. He guessed that the materials were insufficient, so the master had to use several different materials to make them.
"These are just your guess!"
"Then I'm just saying it's not a guess. The gold on it is all real gold, but on one side is a thousand-full gold, and on the other side is ten thousand gold. The refining technology of ancient people was not so developed, and there were few thousand-full gold, and it was almost impossible to extract ten thousand gold. I'm afraid that because the time was too short, the fake master had no time to find gold with insufficient purity. He just needed to test the purity of the gold, and it would be clear if it was true or false!"
When Lao Tan heard this, he pretended to be angry and said, "Professional instruments? Are you from the antique circle? How can you use professional instruments to test them!"
Antiques Stores talk about paying money in one hand and delivering goods in the other hand. As long as a transaction is reached, it means that the goods and money are cleared.
Therefore, antiques are a test of their eyesight. Those who do not bring instruments to the antique shop to buy things. As long as they dare to go, they will be bombarded on the spot!
"I won't sell it anymore, I won't know any rules." Old Tan said angrily.
Looking at the angry old Tan, Guan Wenxian also understood and said in a slightly cold tone: "Okay, come to my field with these fakes. Do you really think I am a fat sheep?"
