The reason Nan Nancai said this was because he wanted to take the responsibility on himself, lest his grandfather would be in danger later in life. Chu Chen also understood what Nan Nan wanted to express. At this time, it was certainly impossible for him to pour cold water on the other party. He would not do such things that would expose others' scars and hurt others without benefiting himself. However, to be honest, if Nan Nan explained it like this, and his grandfather really had a high level of appraisal in porcelain, Chu Chen couldn't understand that such a pomegranate was not difficult for him to identify. Dear, the other party will identify the genuine product. "Who knows what's going on!" Chu Chen didn't want to waste any brain cells on this matter. After complaining about himself, Nan Nan cheered up again and asked: "Mr. Chu, I wonder if you can tell where this fake was produced?" Chu Chen replied: "Actually, To be precise, it¡¯s not right to call it a fake. It should be said that it¡¯s a high-quality imitation.¡± Nan Nan quickly asked, ¡°What do you mean?¡± Chu Chen said, ¡°Mr. Nan, if you know a lot about Longquan kiln. , you should know that imitation of Longquan kiln products is a worldwide phenomenon. If I am not wrong, this pomegranate statue should be a product of the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. "Because Longquan porcelain is famous all over the world, not only domestically, but also abroad. Collectors from all over the world flocked to it. At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, people from Japan, Germany, the United States and other countries went to Longquan to collect celadon. Later, a large number of domestic antique dealers came to Longquan, which triggered the trend of digging ancient kiln sites and robbing ancient tombs in Longquan. At the same time, the development of antique celadon became popular in Longquan, and a group of folk porcelain-making artists joined the effort. During the reigns of Guangxu and Xuantong in the Qing Dynasty, brothers Fan Zuling and Zuqiu from Sun Keng became famous for their imitations of antique celadon. By the early Republic of China, the imitations of the Qing Dynasty scholar Liao Xianzhong were even more impressive. There are also many other imitation masters. Xu Yuanruo of the Qing Dynasty wrote in "Ge Yao and Di Yao": "sometimes it can be quite confusing. If you use medicine to remove the new light, and break a little bit of rice at the bottom or edge, people who are fond of the ancients will be easily hooked" Chu Chen picked up the pomegranate statue. Pointing to the bottom, he said, "Look here, does it look like what Xu Yuanruo said in his book?" Nan Nan then stepped forward to take a look and found that it was indeed the case. Then I heard Chu Chen talk about several characteristics. He also had to believe that Chu Chen's conclusion was probably correct. If it is really an imitation from the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, it can explain why the two places Chu Chen just mentioned seem a little less obvious. After all, it has been nearly a hundred years since the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China. Although the time is short, porcelain will also have oxidation works, which will make some features not obvious. Of course, Nan Nancai also has a way to confirm whether Chu Chen's judgment is correct or not. So, he said hello to Chu Chen and Wu Ke, then took his mobile phone and walked outside to make a call. After a while, Nan Nan walked into the reception room again. With a wry smile on his face, he said: "I called and asked just now, and the other party said that the things were indeed bought by his elders from China in the late Qing Dynasty. There was a pair at that time, but he accidentally dropped one because he was afraid of dropping it again. , so he sold the thing to me.¡± Hear what he said. Chu Chen could only comfort him with a few words, but Nan Nan was able to ask for the details of the matter in such a short period of time. There must be some means that the other party was afraid of. As for which of the two black and white methods, he would know immediately Made some guesses. Before. The reason why Nan Nan treated Chu Chen politely was because of Chu Chen's identity and his things, but now after hearing Chu Chen's detailed and accurate judgment, he has such a high level of appraisal of the young Chu Chen , I really admire it. At Chu Chen's age, it would have been impossible for him to do this. "Mr. Chu, I admire you very much for your porcelain appraisal!" After Nan Nan calmed down, he gave Chu Chen a thumbs up and praised him. Chu Chen quickly said modestly: "I don't dare to take it seriously. I still have a lot to learn in this area!" Nan Nan laughed. Of course, he couldn't know that Chu Chen was an all-rounder. In view of the profound knowledge displayed by Zun, he felt that at least in terms of Longquan kiln in the Yuan Dynasty, Chu Chen's level should not be inferior to that of some well-known appraisal experts. At this time, Chu Chen pointed to a few things in front of him and said: "Boss Nan, what is our transaction today?" After hearing this, Nan Nan quickly said with a smile: "Mr. Chu, we will talk about the transaction later. Please wait a moment while I bring another collection. "Oh! Do you still have ancient porcelain treasures?" Chu Chen asked with a smile. "It's not porcelain." Nan Nan shook his head. When Chu Chen heard that it was not porcelain, he said, "Boss Nan, I actually admire these two pieces of porcelain."?Don't bother. " Nan Nan hesitated for a moment, then said with a smile: "Mr. Chu, in fact, I really like your Arhat bracelet. The things I am going to get now are also prepared for the bracelet. As for these two pieces of porcelain, You can exchange it or buy it. " Chu Chen frowned when he heard this, and said with some embarrassment: "But Boss Nan, I really don't want to change this bracelet! " Nan Nan also guessed that Chu Chen would say this, so he smiled and said: "It doesn't matter whether I change it or not, but if I don't work hard, I will definitely regret it in the future. And although my item is a replica, it is really good. Maybe you will like it! " "Okay" Seeing that Nan Nan had just said this, Chu Chen couldn't say anything about rejection, so he could only agree. Besides, he was really curious now about what it was. The imitation was actually able to get such evaluation from Nan Nan. After Nan Nan left, Wu Ke said with some dissatisfaction: "What's going on with this guy? Why is he like brown sugar? Is it possible that he likes something?" Must it be changed to him? " Chu Chen patted her hand gently and said, "Okay, don't be angry. I think he really likes this Arhat bracelet. It's not surprising to have such a reaction. Besides, this difficult boss is probably not easy either, so we can¡¯t refuse too much. " Wu Ke heard what Chu Chen said. After thinking about it for a moment, she understood what Chu Chen meant. This made her feel a little worried and wanted to leave here immediately. However, when she saw the calm and relaxed Chu Chen, she felt calm again. After coming down, she knew that Chu Chen was very concerned about her safety. If Nan Nan really wanted to harm them, Chu Chen would definitely have a solution. So, she curled her lips and said, "But why did he use a replica?" So, a counterfeit is just a counterfeit, how valuable can it be? Chu Chen smiled and said, "That's not necessarily true. What if it's an imitation by a famous artist?" It's also very valuable. And Nan Nan just said that, there should be something unique about his stuff. We will find out later if we take a look at it. If I don't like it, I just don't change it. " "What, you really want to change?" "Wu Ke heard another meaning from it and asked curiously. "This Nan Nancai is also a smart man. He should be able to see that if it is not something that can completely impress me, I will definitely not agree to the exchange. , now that he said this, I think he must be very confident in his own things. Although I don¡¯t want to part with this bracelet, you can¡¯t have your cake and eat it too. Since there is something better, I definitely won¡¯t. Will give up. "Chu Chen said. "That's right, let's take a look and talk" After a while, Nan Nan carefully walked in with a bag containing a picture frame. From the looks of it, it should be an oil painting. "See It turned out to be an oil painting. Both Chu Chen and Wu Ke were a little disappointed. Chu Chen did it because he didn't like oil paintings very much, and Wu Ke did it because she knew Chu Chen's preferences. Nan Nan only saw Chu Chen's reaction. The look on his face made him feel "thumped" in his heart, but he immediately regained his energy. He was still very confident in his own things and believed that Chu Chen would eventually agree to the deal. Nan Nan didn't talk nonsense. , first cleaned the table a little, then took the painting out of the bag and placed it flat on the table. The first thing that caught Chu Chen and Wu Ke's eyes was an old-looking picture frame. Then, When Chu Chen and Wu Ke saw the content of the painting, they couldn't help but be slightly surprised. It was a portrait of a Western girl. Judging from the clothing, the girl should be a European Renaissance figure. It was a vivid and lifelike painting, and Chu Chen and Wu Ke were sure that this painting was made by a master of art. The reason why they were a little stunned was because of the painting. The style really seemed familiar. Chu Chen raised his head and asked, "Boss Nan, is this a work by Leonardo da Vinci?" " Nan Nan smiled and shook his head: "This is not a work by Leonardo da Vinci, but a forgery. " After hearing Nan Nancai's reply, Chu Chen couldn't help but laugh to himself that he was stupid. If it was a genuine Leonardo da Vinci, how could Nan Nan possibly exchange it with him? However, what Chu Chen found unbelievable was that this The level of imitation of this work is too high. If Nan Nan hadn¡¯t said this, he would definitely not have thought it was an imitation. And Wu Ke also asked in surprise: ¡°Is this an imitation? " "It is indeed a fake! "Nan Nan nodded again, then sighed and said: "At that time, I thought it was a genuine product. After getting it, I excitedly went to find an appraiser who had a deep understanding of Leonardo da Vinci to appraise it. At the beginning, the appraiser divisionI was also shocked, thinking I had encountered the real thing, but in the end I found out it was a fake! Hearing this, Chu Chen said: "I think, boss, you should find more than one treasure appraiser to help identify it, right?" "Nan Nan replied: "No, I can't just find one appraiser for such a valuable thing! The appraisal fee alone cost me at least two months of my turnover. As a result, the appraisers unanimously concluded that the painting was a forgery. I'm just about to get a carbon-14 test! "
