    "Of course it's not cost-effective to hire a master painter, but don't forget, now that technology is advanced, you can use a computer to print the pattern of the real thing, so you can achieve the effect of the real thing.<" Chu Chen said: "Just  For example, in the past, inscriptions on porcelain were asked to be imitated by calligraphers. No matter how high the skill was, it was difficult to achieve both appearance and spirit. Many imitations had flaws in the inscriptions. Now that computers are available, counterfeiters have taken advantage of them in a timely manner.  With this kind of modern technological means, they use a computer to write the payment, which is not 100% possible, but the resemblance in appearance and spirit can still be achieved. " After hearing Chu Chen's explanation, it goes without saying that Li Guiheng felt depressed and aggrieved.  , he frowned, thought about it for a while but still refused to give up, and said: "If this plate was made in recent years, how can we remove the stain on it?" Chu Chen said: "This matter is even simpler.  "In the past, there were three main methods for counterfeiters to remove tarnish from porcelain: "grinding", "discring", and "flushing".  However, these three methods are either time-consuming and labor-intensive or ineffective. Today¡¯s imitators are much smarter than in the past. They use more scientific methods to remove the shine from porcelain.  The first method is to use a high-speed spray gun to spray fine sand evenly onto the glaze surface, so that even if you use a magnifying glass to observe, you can't see any flaws.  The second method is to add an appropriate amount of zinc oxide to the glaze when glazing, so that the porcelain just comes out of the oven will have no shine. This method deceived many people at first.  There is another way to use advanced laser tooth cleaning equipment and use a compact machine to process the porcelain. The imitations produced in this way may even be noticeable to experts.  There are many other methods like this.  Not to mention experienced experts, even some instruments cannot tell whether they are genuine or fake.  After listening to Chu Chen¡¯s explanation.  Qi Baofu sighed: "Now technology and information are much more developed than before, and a lot of knowledge and experience in appraising antiques can also be seen online. But with the advancement of technology, there are more and more counterfeiting techniques, and it is really hard to guard against it!" Everyone  Qi Baofu agreed very much with what he said, especially Chu Chen, who had been in the antique business for the longest time among the four and had been an antique hawker for several years, was deeply touched by this.  ¡°When he first entered the industry, there were fakes, but compared to now, they were a bit dwarfed.  And in just a few years, there have been many more ways to make fakes.  ¡°For example, flint red was used as the basis for identifying Yuan and Ming porcelain. In the past, imitators made flint red, or applied glaze, or painted it with color. In short, the methods were crude and easy to be seen through.  But now, ceramicists have carefully studied and tested it.  The scientific conclusion was drawn that the flint red color was due to excessive iron oxide contained in the porcelain clay.  This research result was immediately used by imitators. They added iron to the porcelain clay and burned out a realistic flint red. This time.  Many people were deceived.  Not to mention others, Chu Chen suffered a loss in this regard. At that time, he bought a piece of Ming Dynasty porcelain made with the latest flint red method.  It cost a lot, but Uncle Wu had a look at the results.  So he poured a basin of cold water on him.  Chu Chen said: "So, everyone must go to the antique market frequently. Research the fakes on the market, so as to reduce the chance of getting caught." Everyone nodded, saying they would remember what Chu Chen said.  After a while, Li Guiheng said: "Well, Teacher Chu, is my colorful birthday plate definitely a modern imitation?" "It should be" Chu Chen introduced the characteristics of Kangxi's colorful porcelain to everyone.  , it can be seen that this so-called "Kangxi" colorful birthday plate has many flaws.  "Hey!" Li Guiheng sighed and said a little dejectedly: "This time my family will be nagging for a long time." Qi Baofu patted Li Guiheng on the shoulder and said: "Old Li, things are already like this.  , you just learn from it. As for the one in your family, it¡¯s not the first time you¡¯ve been criticized in the past few years. You¡¯ll get over it after a while.¡± Li Guiheng said angrily: ¡°You¡¯re right.  It¡¯s light, it¡¯s thousands of dollars, and it¡¯s the first time I¡¯ve had such a big eye. I don¡¯t know how to tell my family.¡± As mentioned earlier, Li Guiheng is just a working-class person, not as rich as Qi Baofu.  Not to mention, and his wife still controls the family's finances. Thousands of dollars are nothing to Chu Chen and Qi Baofu. To him, it is private money that has been hidden for a long time. All of a sudden  How could he not feel distressed if it was just gone?  It is precisely because of this that he has been unwilling to believe Chu Chen's judgment before.  Qi Baofu thought of something and said quickly: "By the way, you'd better not think about how to tell your wife. Think about it, have you bought anything else from the place where this thing is sold to you?" &nbsp;"Oops!" Li Guiheng was startled when he heard this, stood up hurriedly, and ran into the back room. After a while, he came back with something in his arms eagerly, and said, "Teacher Chu,  I have a few more things inside, please help me take a look at these things first." "Okay" Chu Chen nodded.  Among the things Li Guiheng brought over were a piece of porcelain, a jade pendant and an inkstone.  The jade pendant and inkstone are both authentic, while the porcelain is a modern imitation. It is possible that Li Guiheng bought it based on the porcelain pieces.  Although the two items are genuine, if the porcelain is also valued as genuine, the value of the porcelain is basically the same as the value of the other two items. Li Guiheng will undoubtedly suffer a big loss.  Fortunately, the value of the things was not very high. The market price of the piece of porcelain was only about 4,000 yuan. Li Guiheng would definitely not have paid that much if he bought it. In this way, he did not lose much.  Of course, this was for Chu Chen. For Li Guiheng, a few thousand dollars was already a relatively large amount. When he heard the identification results given by Chu Chen, he really wanted to cry without tears, and it made him even more sad.  What made him extremely depressed was that he later brought over two pieces of porcelain, and they were both compared with fake porcelain pieces. The result is self-evident.  Together with the colorful birthday plate just now, the total market value of the four pieces of porcelain should be around 30,000 yuan. Although Li Guiheng did not spend that much, the total market value was more than 15,000 yuan.  You know, it's only 2002, and the average salary of Beijing employees last year was just over 18,000. In addition, excluding the monthly living expenses and Li Henggui's monthly medication expenses, this 15,000 is already the private savings that Li Henggui has saved over the years.  With most of the money already spent, do you think he can avoid being heartbroken?  Some friends may want to ask, in this case, why does Li Guiheng still enter the antiques industry?  The reason is very simple. Firstly, Li Guiheng really likes antiques. Secondly, the antique industry has always been full of various stories of picking up missing items. As for the story of someone who lost his fortune because of eye-punching, few people will mention it.  Under such circumstances, it was reasonable for Li Guiheng to have the idea of ????picking up leaks and making a fortune, so he decided to join the army of "collectors" without much thought.  Looking at the sad Li Guiheng, Qi Baofu, as a friend, didn¡¯t know how to persuade him.  It was Chu Chen who broke the solemn atmosphere at the scene and said, "Teacher Li, how about I help you sort out the porcelain tiles in the box." Li Guiheng opened his mouth. Because of today's experience, he just had thoughts about how he would do it again in the future.  He also had no idea about the antique business, but he felt very unwilling to do so. Finally, he decided to get up from where he fell.  Seeing that Li Guiheng was still in a daze, Qi Baofu said: "Old Li, what are you thinking about? Isn't it just ten thousand yuan, can it defeat you?" "I, Li Guiheng, can be defeated so easily.  "Really?" Li Guiheng sneered, and then said gratefully to Chu Chen: "Teacher Chu, I'm sorry to bother you." "You're welcome, it's just a matter of effort." Chu Chen waved his hand and started to mix it.  Pick out the fake ones in the middle of the porcelain tiles.  The characteristics of authenticity of porcelain tiles are obvious, and the porcelain tiles sold to Li Guiheng are not fake and high-end goods, so Chu Chen soon picked out all the fake porcelain tiles.  Looking at the pile of fake porcelain tiles on the ground, the anger in Li Guiheng's stomach rose up. He said with an angry face: "No, I really can't swallow this breath, md, he is a distant relative, he actually lied to me like this,  It¡¯s really nothing!¡± Although Qi Baofu was not ashamed of the seller¡¯s villainous behavior, he was not like Li Guiheng, who didn¡¯t even know the rules of the antique shop. He said, ¡°Old Li, calm down, even if you go to him.  , Based on the rules of the antique shop, can he return the money to you?" Li Guiheng was immediately discouraged when he heard this, but an idea suddenly occurred to him, and he laughed and said: "Yes, the other three.  I had my eye on the thing, but he swore to me that this colorful birthday plate was genuine. Can he not return the money to me? " After hearing this, Chu Chen and others couldn't help but look at each other. Qi Baofu was surprised.  He said: "Old Li, you must have remembered correctly. He knew it was a fake, but he actually told you it was a genuine one. Is there something wrong with his mind?" Li Guiheng smiled and said, "There must be nothing wrong with his mind. It was just that I  He only had a few thousand yuan of personal money, and he didn't want to spend it all on buying this piece of porcelain, so he put it off several times. He was probably impatient, so he said this. " Qi Baofu said: "If he really said this.  If so, then the plate can indeed be returned, but don¡¯t forget that it is not easy to get your money back from such a crooked person. What if he doesn¡¯t admit it then, what can you do without evidence?  manage?" Li Henggui smiled and said: "Who said I have no evidence?  " Qi Baofu asked in surprise when he heard this: "Did you record what you said at that time?  " Li Henggui chuckled and said, "Don't I like singing? When he came that day, I happened to be practicing recording. I forgot to turn off the recorder at that time, so I recorded that paragraph. With this evidence, I think  What can he say!  "(To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
