    Fatty Xu, who was in high spirits, immediately asked his friend to buy this porcelain pillow.  But my friend heard that Fatty Xu wanted to buy the Buddha statue back, but he refused and refused to sell it!  Then, the friend continued to proudly talk about the cultural and collection value of this Buddha statue, and how he went through all kinds of hardships to bring the Buddha statue home. His words revealed his extreme love for this Buddha statue.  Some people just think that the things they can't get are often the best. At that time, Fatty Xu was not short of money. The money he paid to buy a Buddha statue was just a drop of money to him, so even if he made a lot of money, it was attractive to him.  He's not very strong either, but who wants him to like it?  And the more the other party refused to sell, the more he wanted to buy, so he began to use hard work and hard work, and took the initiative to bid for the purchase. As a result, his friend said: "I don't care about money, I just play for fun."  It¡¯s cultural taste.¡±  Hearing what his friend said, Fatty Xu felt that his friend was a real player, and his cultural taste was a good thing for him. Who said he didn't have much culture?  Therefore, this further strengthened his determination to collect this Buddha statue.  However, after that, Fatty Xu kept raising the price, and took the initiative to talk about cultural tastes. Only then did his friend relax and take the Buddha statue home for 400,000 yuan.  After hearing the ins and outs of the matter, Chu Chen secretly shook his head. The scam Fatty Xu encountered was the most dangerous and common method of antique traps, called packaging and promotion.  For the sake of publicity, the scammer writes a paper and publishes it in a famous journal. But in most cases, the scammer pays a high price to publish the monograph in a famous publishing house and then releases it to the public.  Give people a sense of orderly circulation.  Some scammers even go to TV stations, newspapers, books and periodicals and many other media to package and promote their products.  After packaging and publicizing cultural relics in this way, it will cause famous publications and famous publishing houses to promote this thing.  There should be no problems, a sense of orderly circulation, and this would make the auction house willing to accept it.  There are reasons to accept what a scammer introduces.  What¡¯s more, some scammers also include the signatures of so-called ¡°experts¡± when promoting their products. This has a great influence on the masses, and the selling price is also very high, and the relative losses to the victims are also very heavy.  In fact, it is easy to crack this kind of scam. You must first be calm and analyze the thing rationally. You cannot just rely on reading magazines and newspapers to verify that something is true. You should also hire experts with practical experience and ability.  Carefully analyze and identify it, and you can even get it to a testing agency for comprehensive analysis.  In this way, you can generally avoid being tricked.  However, the scammer Fatty Xu met was more clever. He did not use the method just mentioned for packaging, but used an antique magazine from the 1980s.  There are two advantages to doing this. First, it can be done without a lot of money.  Secondly.  It can make Fatty Xu paralyzed, because in the eyes of many people, the 1980s was still a relatively innocent era, and it is unlikely that things written in magazines are fake.  And Fatty Xu obviously thought so too.  Of course, there are limitations to using this trick, in case the opponent is an old player.  Or if you have read this magazine, it is very likely that the other party will find out.  However, Fatty Xu happens to be a newbie, so this move is perfect. ???????????????? Later.  Chu Junfeng said speechlessly: "I said Fatty Xu, are you too easy to deceive? Didn't you think of showing the thing to others?" Fatty Xu said with a bitter face: "I believed in him very much at that time. Besides,  There was also an introduction in the magazine, so there was no doubt about the authenticity of the thing!¡± After a while, he still asked with some unwillingness: ¡°Third Master, is this Buddha statue really a fake?¡± ¡°It is indeed a fake.  It's a crudely made fake." As he spoke, Chu Chen picked up the Buddha statue and then explained: "Buddha statues are used as Dharma seals, which is a characteristic of statues in the mid-Tang Dynasty.  Promote its legitimacy, claiming that Maitreya Buddha is "reborn", vigorously promoting the worship of Maitreya, popularizing the shape of Dharma seal, and even applying it to the shape of other Buddha statues. This is reflected in several grottoes across the country, and there are records to test it.  "From the face of this Buddha statue, it has a high nose and forehead, thin lips and curly hair. This style is the style of the early Northern Wei Dynasty, because it was not long after the introduction of Buddha statues to the Central Plains, so it was also influenced by Gandhara art.  Influenced by the art of Hemotuluo, the face and body still follow the South Asian style. " "But the face of your Buddha statue belongs to the style of the early Northern Wei Dynasty, but the rest is the style of the mid-Tang Dynasty. There are ten differences between the two.  Wanba Qianli, do you think it might be an authentic one? Furthermore, this Buddha statue was only made using modern machines, and the gilding on it was all chemical gold, so I said it was a shoddy piece.  "Fake." "It's over. I spent 400,000 at that time!" Fatty Xu said.?I want to cry but have no tears.  Chu Junfeng said dumbfounded: "I said Fatty Xu, it's only four hundred thousand, so you don't have to look like this!" Fatty Xu smiled bitterly: "For me, four hundred thousand was really nothing before, but now four hundred thousand means nothing to me.  Hearing this, Chu Chen secretly smiled. Even if this Buddha statue were to be auctioned, it would cost only about 200,000 yuan at most. If he bought it for 400,000 yuan, he would really be taken advantage of.  But seeing Fatty Xu looking like this, Chu Chen stopped irritating him.  In addition, Chu Chen also thought that since the liar made Fatty Xu more than 600,000 yuan, it was definitely impossible to deceive Fatty Xu just this time. Sure enough, Fatty Xu quickly said: "Third Young Master, look at these two things."  The things I bought were all from him before. "The two things were a jade ornament and a large white porcelain flower-printed plate.  The jade ornaments look antique and are carved from white jade. The quality of the jade is very shiny at first glance, and the shape also looks quite exquisite.  The ornaments are carved with one big and five little pigs, called Wuzhu, which is a unique theme of the Ming Dynasty.  It symbolizes family happiness, more children, more happiness, promotion and wealth.  The other large dish has a round mouth, shallow arc-shaped walls, flat bottom, and short round feet.  The whole vessel is glazed with white glaze, with yellow flashes in the glaze and traces of glaze flow on the outer wall.  The inner wall of the plate is decorated with two string patterns along the edge, the lower edge is decorated with curly grass and peony patterns, the center of the plate is decorated with a consecrated pattern, and the interior is decorated with curly grass and lotus flower patterns.  After Chu Chen looked at it carefully, he shook his head and said, "This jade ornament is not right either." Although Fatty Xu had been mentally prepared before, when he heard what Chu Chen said, his heart felt as gray as a tree.  Chu Junfeng took the jade and looked through it, then asked a little strangely: "I think this thing is not bad, how can it be fake?" "The jade is not fake, but this thing is made of Russian jade.  The reason why the material looks good is due to three reasons: imitation of old work, partial dyeing, fire roasting, and waxing. " Chu Chen explained: "The imitation of old work is very simple, as long as you use antique tools and low-speed processing of imitation old mounds.  As for the black part, it is dyed black with fire. It is very simple to identify. If it is real white jade with ink color, there will be obvious boundaries and black and white are distinct; if it is burned by fire,  "The last step is to put the jade in the burned wax liquid, so that the jade will look shiny."  Jade ornaments can only be used to fool newcomers. Anyone with a little knowledge of ancient jade can basically tell. " Chu Junfeng laughed and said, "So I like to look at antiques, but I really don't like to step into them.  This line of business obviously looks real, but is fake. The twists and turns in it make me feel headache. Fatty Xu, I think you should stop doing this stuff in the future. If you really want to buy it, come to my house.  Go buy it from San's store, he is so innocent." Fatty Xu sighed and said sadly: "Yes, my wife told me before that I didn't want to play with this thing, saying it was mine.  My mind can't play with it. Sure enough, two items cost me three million. It really cost me my life!" "But, Third Young Master, this Ding Kiln plate can't be fake, right?  I took it for scientific appraisal, and the appraisal report said that the plate is indeed from the Northern Song Dynasty, and the style is the same as that of the Ding Kiln. " Chu Chen said: "This plate is indeed from the Northern Song Dynasty, and it is said to be from the Ding Kiln.  It's okay, but it's not an orthodox Ding kiln, but a Tuding kiln. ""What is Tuding?" Fatty Xu asked quickly, and at this time he had an ominous premonition.  Chu Chen explained: "Tuding refers to the imitation products of folk kilns in the vast areas of Fenhe and Zhanghe river basins other than the central kiln of Quyangding Kiln. The raw materials and technology of Tuding are different from those of Ding.  The kiln is the same, so it is called Tu Ding because the raw materials are not refined, the carcass is thick, the sound when knocked is not clear and crisp, and the decoration is simple or without patterns. " "Because the raw materials of porcelain clay in these areas are essentially the same as those of Ding kiln, so not only the shape.  , the types of utensils, patterns and decorations are the same, and the carcass and enamel are also the same. But since it is called Tuding, its rough workmanship cannot be changed. You can see that the carcass of this plate is different from the real Ding kiln product.  It's too rough, and the unclear sound is its biggest flaw. " Speaking of this, Chu Chen also lightly tapped the plate a few times. As he said, the sound was muffled.  Fatty Xu was really on the verge of crying at this time, but then he thought, since the thing is indeed from the Song Dynasty, it must be worth some money, so he asked hopefully: "Third Young Master, since this thing is  Really, that has some value, right?¡±p; Chu Chen replied: "I would say that your Tuding dish can be regarded as a fine product made at the entrance of Tuding kiln. However, Tuding is a work of a private kiln after all, and the production process is slightly rough, and the market price is not high.  High, considering the condition of this large plate, it is probably worth one or two thousand!"
