Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Lao Cai was quite shocked by what the man brought this time, because it was so valuable that it was actually the seal of Emperor Qianlong.  This seal is made of fine Hetian white jade, and is cylindrical in shape. The top is embossed with a double dragon holding the Gan Gua pattern in earthy red and clear color, and the four characters "Tai Shang Emperor" are written in Zhuwen seal script on the top.  Around the seal is inscribed a poem written by Emperor Qianlong titled "Self-inscribed Taishang Huangbao".  Although the old man didn't know much about seals, he had some understanding of them after communicating with Quanshan over the past few years. He felt that the jade quality of this seal was warm and delicate, and the top button carving and the surrounding imperial poems were engraved smoothly and finely.  The shape is natural and looks very much like the typical Qianlong period style.  The stuff was good, but the price the man offered was also high. He asked for fifteen million.  But if it is true, fifteen million is really not expensive. I feel that if I buy it, it will not be a problem to make several million. If it works well, it will not be difficult to make tens of millions. As for this thing  Whether it was stolen or robbed, what does it have to do with him?  What makes Lao Cai feel a little embarrassed is that at this time he is not sure that the seal is genuine, but if Quanshan comes, he will have to give him some profit in the end. If it is hundreds of thousands, then  It's easy to say, but the key point is that this is tens of millions of dollars, and the money distributed to Quanshan must be a lot, which makes him feel distressed just thinking about it.  The old man thought about it, and finally, just to be on the safe side, he called Quan Shan and urged him to come over and help him with his eyes.  Half an hour later, Quan Shan came to Lao Cai¡¯s shop dripping with sweat. Seeing Quan Shan working so hard for him, Lao Cai was a little embarrassed by his previous thoughts, but he immediately put this idea aside.  Friendship and stuff, where does the money come from?  After Quanshan saw the seal.  He pulled Lao Cai to the back room and told Lao Cai with excitement and excitement.  He was certain that the item was genuine. Based on the current market price, it was conservatively estimated to be worth 25 million.  With such a valuable thing, given the character of the veteran, it was of course impossible for him to trust Quan Shan¡¯s judgment right away, but what Quan Shan took out next convinced the veteran immediately.  Quan Shan said that he left a copy of "Qianlong Baosou" in Laocai's shop a few days ago. This is a book dedicated to introducing the seal spectrum of Qianlong's imperial seal, if he remembers correctly.  This book contains an introduction to that seal.  At this time, the old man was preoccupied with the matter of the seal, and did not even think of the coincidence. He quickly took the book and took a look, and found that there was indeed a clear description of the seal in it, and it was compared with the real thing.  No matter the material, size, or the layout of the seals and seals, they are completely consistent with the records in the book.  With preconceived notions and comparisons in books, the veteran decided to buy it.  However, he still had some doubts about the price of the seal.  So I called a few friends, and after some inquiries, it was finally proven that the market price was indeed similar to what Quan Shan said, if it went up for auction.  Most likely over 30 million.  In addition to asking about the price, a friend of Lao Cai directly decided on the seal over the phone, and the price was as high as 28 million.  You can make 13 million in just one pass.  The old man couldn't help himself, of course.  The seller was asking for an exorbitant price, so of course he had to pay back the money.  In the end, after a heated exchange of words, the deal was settled for twelve million.  Thinking that he was about to become a multi-millionaire, the old man almost burst out laughing. What made him a little embarrassed was that after so many years of deception, he had only saved more than 6 million in cash, and he couldn't borrow any more.  Only up to six million.  No one is rich these days. Six million is already an astronomical figure for ordinary people. It is really not that easy to borrow.  However, thinking that fifteen million was already beckoning to him, Lao Cai gritted his teeth and not only asked his friends to borrow it, but also borrowed it at high interest rates.  There was an episode during this period. Quan Shan told Lao Cai that he also had two million and wanted to work with Lao Cai. This was a business worth tens of millions. How could Lao Cai let others get involved? He laughed.  He just pushed the matter away, and it was precisely because of this that he took out loan sharking.  Half a day later, Lao Cai raised 12 million and hurriedly went to the bank to transfer the money. The seal was also in Lao Cai's hands.  When the thing arrived, the old man liked it more and more as he looked at it. However, he did not do anything like killing the donkey. Not only did Quan Shan go to a five-star hotel for a meal, but he also patted his chest at the dinner table.  Guaranteed, when the item is sold, he will pay Quanshan a commission of 300,000 yuan.  Quan Shan expressed his gratitude to Lao Cai, but he looked a little unhappy. Lao Cai also understood what was going on, but he was also thick-skinned and didn't care at all. He had deceived so many people over the years.  Many of them were his former friends.  The old man felt that he did not kill the donkey and returned the three hundred thousand to the whole mountain, which was already considered benevolent.The righteousness is gone.  The next day, Lao Cai happily took the things to the friend who had reserved the seal before and solemnly handed the things to the friend. The friend also thought the seal was good and couldn't put it down playing with it.  , but after a palm-eye master invited by a friend appraised it, he said it was a fake!  For the veteran, this was like a bolt from the blue. He immediately refuted Master Zhangyan¡¯s conclusion, saying that the seal was recorded and could not be fake.  Master Zhangyan was also very well prepared. He brought over the "Qianlong Treasures" and then pointed out the problems with the seal one by one.  Although the seal that Lao Cai bought is very similar to the real thing, first of all, there is a problem with the material. Although it looks similar, the texture is still somewhat different from the real thing. In addition, there are also problems with the craftsmanship. Although Lao Cai tried his best to imitate the Qianlong seal with this seal.  The craftsmanship of the palace craftsmen of the period was exquisite, but some details were not handled properly.  When talking about the craftsmanship, Master Zhangyan took out a piece of jade pendant made by the Palace Manufacturing Office during the Qianlong period. Comparing the two, the old man was disappointed to find that the craftsmanship displayed by the seal was indeed not as good as that of Master Zhangyan.  The jade pendant that came out.  You know, the seal is for the emperor, how could the carving be worse than the jade pendant?  Unless the craftsman is dying.  Lao Cai came out of his friend's house in despair. He couldn't believe the result for a while, so in the next two days, he took the seals to several larger auction houses. As a result, without exception, everyone said that his seal was his.  The seal is a fake.  Moreover, he finally received news from the last auction house that the authentic seal was still in France. It was plundered by the French general Degercey in 1900 and was still lying quietly in the safe. How could it be possible?  appeared on his hand.  At this point, Lao Cai had completely given up. However, at first he was just thinking about how to pay back the money as soon as possible, and did not suspect Quan Shan. However, the more he thought about it, the more he became suspicious, and then he continued to fight for several days.  Quan Shan¡¯s phone number couldn¡¯t be reached, and finally through the help of friends, I discovered that Quan Shan¡¯s information was incorrect.  At this time, the old man still didn¡¯t understand that he had been tricked by the whole mountain.  It took him five or six years to set up the scam, and the other party invested nearly one million. For such a group of scammers, he could only smile bitterly and only admire him.  Next, in order to raise money, Lao Cai also sold out his store and sold many of his collections over the years. Today, including the 680,000 that Chu Chen just received, he has almost paid off all the debts he owed.  Qing Dynasty, and all he had left was the house and a few mediocre collections. His more than ten years of antiques career were in vain.  After hearing the cause and effect, Chu Chen and others looked at each other for a moment. They really didn't expect that someone would actually prepare for a scam for five or six years, and they felt shuddering just thinking about it.  However, it took five or six years to defraud 12 million, and during this period, some of them could go to other places to defraud, and the profits were indeed enough. Those people were indeed a very powerful group.  A great liar.  "Okay, I feel relieved after saying that. I'm going back now. I have to pay back the mortgage money for the house, otherwise someone will go to my house and splash paint." The old man took a sip of tea and stood up.  He said hello to everyone and left briskly.  Duan Ning sighed: "Although this old man has bad conduct, he has a good mental capacity. If it were me, I might be ruined by this." Duan Kun said quickly: "Uncle Ning, don't assume this.  Okay!" Duan Ning said with a smile: "What's the matter? The ending of this old talent is actually due to greed." Liu Sizhe shook his head: "Greedy is normal. Who is not greedy in the world? The key is to be a liar.  The method is too clever. How many people in the world can see through this scam? " "That's right!" Duan Ning sighed softly, and the room suddenly became silent.  "Okay, let's not talk about the trouble!" Liu Sizhe waved his hand and said to Chu Chen: "Brother Chen, how did you think of spending 680,000 yuan to buy such a cup? If this cup is made of rhinoceros horn,  It's still worth the price, now" Chu Chen chuckled and said, "But I know what material this cup is made of. I made a huge profit by buying it for 680,000 yuan." "What?  Do you know what this is made of?" Everyone asked in unison as they were surprised.  Chu Chen smiled and nodded: "Yes, if I read correctly, this cup should be made of Bixi." "Bixi?" Liu Sizhe and Duan Ning immediately exclaimed.  "What kind of rhinoceros is Bixi?" Duan Kun and Hu Yong looked confused.    Chu Chen explained with a smile: "In ancient times in our country, due to the lack of knowledge, the explanations of some things were just people's imagination, so rhinoceros horns are not the same as rhino horns, and birhinoceros is not a rhinoceros, but  Refers to the horns of the snake" (To be continued)
