    Faced with these endless counterfeiting methods, sometimes Chu Chen also lamented that between the antiquities appraisers and the forgers, it is really a bit like being one foot higher than the devil.  Wu Ke took a few sips of tea, suppressed his nausea, rolled his eyes at Chu Chen, and said, "I said, since you know it's a fake, why did you still buy it?" Chu Chen explained: "I did this for the same reason.  You're fooling him, otherwise why would he sell it to me at such a low price?" Wu Ke quickly asked, "How much are these things worth?" "At least tens of millions, but a bronze like this,  In particular, this Liuding is not allowed to be bought and sold in the country, and apart from the Liuding, the other six items, if I guessed correctly, were probably dug out by tomb robbers and smuggled out of the country. " Seeing Chu.  Chen looked displeased, Wu Ke comforted him and said: "It's not worth getting angry for a person like that. Besides, only the state can control such things. Even if we have the heart to control it, we don't have that much ability. You treat it like this  I have tried my best to buy things back home. And you picked up a big leak, why are you unhappy?" Chu Chen patted Wu Ke's hand and said, "Well, let's not talk about it.  , but speaking of picking up a big leak, it is very possible that you picked up a big leak today!" Wu Ke was a little confused when he heard what Chu Chen said, and asked strangely: "What does it mean that you may have picked up a big leak?  "I mean, you need to confirm if you picked up a big leak." At this point, Chu Chen took out the box containing the colorful necklace with a smile.  Wu Ke saw Chu Chen's actions and immediately understood what was going on. She was speechless and said, "You don't mean to say that the necklace I bought is real, right?" "It's not true. Still.  You will know after seeing it, but now I can only say that I have great hope." Chu Chen said with a smile.  Wu Ke really didn't believe her ears. She opened her mouth. She really didn't know what to say. She could only wait nervously and expectantly for the identification results given by Chu Chen.  Chu Chen used a magnifying glass to observe the five diamonds on the necklace bit by bit.  At the end, I couldn't help showing an expression of admiration.  For a diamond, its price is not determined by weight or color alone. The universal international standard for the quality of a diamond is the very famous diamond 4C standard.  The so-called ¡°4C¡± is the abbreviation of four English words starting with C, which refers to the diamond¡¯s carat weight (CARATWEIGHT), clarity (CLARITY), color (COLOUR), and cut (CUT).  Like the diamond on the necklace, let¡¯s not talk about the weight.  Clarity is the FL grade, the highest level for diamonds. This grade refers to diamonds that are flawless both internally and externally under a ten-fold magnifying glass.  In addition to the clarity, the color is an extremely white D grade, and the cut has reached the most colorful 3EX grade.  It can be said that except for the weight.  This diamond is completely comparable to the Star of Africa.  The other four colored diamonds are also top-notch in terms of quality and cut. Although these colored diamonds are small in size, colored diamonds are relatively rare. The annual output of pink diamonds only accounts for one millionth of colorless diamonds.  Big ones are even rarer.  Therefore, although these colored diamonds are only a dozen carats.  However, in terms of value, it is not much inferior to the diamond in the middle.  After Chu Chen carefully observed the five diamonds, he put the necklace directly on Wu Ke's neck. With the support of this colorful necklace, Wu Ke looked as beautiful as an elf princess. Chu Chen couldn't help but admire:  "Look back and smile, the sixth palace has no color!" "Stop reciting poems, tell me whether the diamonds on this necklace are natural diamonds!" Wu Ke asked anxiously.  Chu Chen nodded with a smile. Seeing this, Wu Ke was immediately dumbfounded.  After a while, she still asked with a look of disbelief: "Achen, are you sure that the diamonds on this necklace are all real?" "Of course they are all real, and they are of the same quality and cut.  Top quality." Chu Chen replied firmly.  Wu Ke received an affirmative answer and said with a dull look on his face: "This is impossible. Diamonds are not antiques, how could someone really sell them as fake?" Chu Chen laughed and said: "It's very simple.  Because man-made diamonds are very similar to natural diamonds, ordinary people can rarely tell the difference with the naked eye. " Wu Ke carefully held up the diamond on the necklace. In addition to feeling that the diamond was more gorgeous, it was really beautiful.  I didn't find anything different from the artificial diamonds just now.  ¡°It¡¯s true, I just feel like the diamonds are more gorgeous, and I really don¡¯t see anything different from those fakes just now.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right if you think they are gorgeous,¡±If it's not gorgeous, it's not a natural diamond.  " Chu Chen explained: "If it is a fake diamond, then from the reflectivity point of view, its reflection power is weak and the light is dark, that is, the flash power is not strong. Therefore, the fake diamond is definitely not as gorgeous as the real diamond.  The top surface of a real diamond is highly reflective, especially under strong light or sunlight, and can reflect in colorful and dazzling colors.  " Hearing this, Wu Ke immediately walked to the window and put the diamond in the sun. The eye-catching color instantly made her face look full of obsession. " Are there any other differences?  "After a while, Wu Ke turned around and asked. "That must be true. We can use a 10x magnifying glass to observe. Natural diamonds are not only polished and smooth, but also have sharp edges, while fake diamonds have round edges.  And easy to sand.  Chu Chen continued: "In addition, the hardness of diamonds is ten, and the hardness of fake diamonds is generally not that high. Use the sharp edge of a real diamond, such as a drill knife, and if you scratch a deep groove, it is a fake diamond."  Real diamonds cannot be scratched with fake diamonds, and real diamonds cannot be scratched with each other.  Do you think we should buy a real diamond and try it?  " Wu Ke shook his head repeatedly and said: "I don't want it!  Even if it is not a real diamond, I still like this necklace. What if it gets scratched?  ah!  I¡¯m not saying that your eyesight is bad. What I mean is that instead of buying real diamonds, it¡¯s better to get them scientifically appraised and save money!  " Chu Chen nodded and said: "That's true. Although my eyesight is good, I am not very proficient in diamond appraisal. It is better to do a scientific appraisal!  " "Forget it, I believe in you!  Wu Ke hugged Chu Chen's arm and said, "Besides, I wouldn't worry about jewelry worth hundreds of millions being appraised by people I don't know!"  Besides, I won¡¯t sell this necklace, so it doesn¡¯t matter whether it has an appraisal certificate or not.  "    "OK!  Listen to you!  "Chu Chen also agreed with what Wu Ke said. Since the thing is real, it doesn't matter even if there is no identification certificate. If the descendants really want to sell this necklace in the future, the identification certificate will let them  Worry about it yourself! After going to the bank to handle the safe deposit box business, the two returned to the market. It was already past nine-thirty. There were many more people in the market. It could be said that it was very crowded. The situation was quite similar to that of a domestic market.  It smelled like a market, but the items on sale had been replaced by more valuable products. When the two passed by the stall that sold them the necklace, Wu Ke went over to look around again, apparently wanting to see if there was anything he could miss.  Of course, the result was no surprise. After hurriedly walking past the stalls they had visited just now, the two came to a stall selling stationery supplies. The stall owner was a young foreigner with blond hair and blue eyes.  When imagining the stall owner writing with a brush, Chu Chen always felt a slight sense of disobedience. Wu Ke pointed at something like a leaf and asked: "Hey, Achen, what is this? It's so cute.  !  "What the two of them didn't expect was that the stall owner could actually speak Chinese, and he spoke Chinese quite fluently, with a Beijing accent. "It's called a pen inkstone, also called a pen inkstone. It's used to check the intensity of ink or straighten out the pen.  Thin objects are often made into the shape of flaky leaves.  Miss, the brush pen you are pointing to is also called Xiangsheng porcelain. It was created during the Qianlong Dynasty of your country. It is usually made with flowers, fruits, insects, and small animals as its themes. Its size is similar to the real thing. Such Xiangsheng porcelain is often sold for  The royal family, dignitaries and literati were furnished for viewing.  Chu Chen smiled and said: "Boss, you have sold antiques in Panjiayuan in the capital!"  " "NONONO!  The stall owner waved his hand and said, "I used to open an antique shop over at Hongqiao. If my father hadn't passed away, I would still be running that antique shop now!"  " Chu Chen was a little surprised when he heard this. He was just joking at first, but he didn't expect that the stall owner actually opened an antique shop in the capital. This was even more inconsistent than the stall owner writing with a brush. Don't say Chu Chen found it strange.  , even Wu Ke showed a surprised expression. The stall owner was not surprised when he saw the expressions of the two people. He smiled and explained: "I have liked the history of your country since I was a child. Later, I had the opportunity to come into contact with antiques and I liked it very much.  Opened an antique shop.  At first, many people were like you and thought it was incredible for foreigners to open antique shops in China.  " "Actually, I think I just look different from you. I am a native of the capital at heart. Moreover, I live in the capital for three or four months every year.  By the way, the accents of both of them seem to be from Beijing. Since they are fellow villagers, I will give you a discount on whatever you like!  " "Thank you very much, boss!"  "Chu Chen thanked him with a smile on the surface, but he was murmuring in his heart. Why did this stall owner look like the one just now? It seems that he had practiced with a domestic antique dealer for a period of time! After Chu Chen thanked him?I picked up the leaf-shaped pen I just mentioned.  This pen holder is shaped like an autumn leaf, with dark veins carved into it, and the edges of the leaves are rolled into shallow walls. The whole body is covered with pink green glaze, and a dark brown beetle is embellished in one corner. The shape is lifelike and cute, and quite interesting.  In addition, there is a blue and white year mark written on the bottom petiole, which is the seal script mark of "Qianlong Year System".  After careful observation, Chu Chen determined that this pen and wallet was indeed an authentic item from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, so he asked: "Boss, how do you sell this thing"
