Chapter 883 Appreciation of Antiques
"Brother Huang, why do you look down on me as a brother? Don't you inform me of the party?" Zhang Kentao walked into the lobby of the villa, followed by two followers, one of whom still carried a large package in his hand.
Huang Rongjin's face changed slightly, and Qiang squeezed out a smile: "Brother Ken Tao, look at what you said. I think you are usually very busy. It's just an informal family party, so I didn't send you an invitation. However, in the relationship between our two families, there is no need for invitations, right? Do you want to come directly?
Although Huang Rongjin's words are polite, they are not soft or hard, and there are thorns in his words.
And how could Zhang Kentao not hear it? However, the two of them are used to fighting each other, and it is also Zhang Kentao's thorny in his words, so at this moment he said carelessly, "Well, we don't care about those false ones! As soon as I heard that Brother Huang was holding a party here, I hurried to cheer you up.
"Is it?" Huang Rongjin looked at Zhang Kentao. Since he came, he couldn't kick him out. At least on the surface, both of them were okay: "Then please sit down. The party is about to start."
"Before the party starts, I have a rare treasure that I want to ask Brother Huang to help me appreciate it!" With that, Zhang Kentao waved his hand and asked the follower behind him to hand over the things in his hand.
"Oh, then I have to enjoy it." Huang Rongjin said with a smile. Both of them are in the collection industry, and they both have some reputation, but Huang Rongjin is slightly more famous, so Zhang Kentao often takes some tricky things to let him guess what it is, in order to make a fool of him, but his name is appreciation.
For example, last time Zhang Kentao made a bronze cup from the Song Dynasty to let Huang Rongjin judge which year it was made. Fortunately, there was a master around Huang Rongjin, and Zhang Kentao left anguably.
This time, I don't know what Zhang Kentao wants to do again, but one thing is for sure that this guy is absolutely not kind-hearted. In front of so many people, he must think of a way to make a fool of himself.
Of course. Although I knew in my heart that it would be like this. But on the surface, the kung fu is well done. Huang Rongjin pretended to be surprised. He quickly walked to Zhang Kentao's floor.
People in the venue. Most of them know the feud between Huang Rongjin and Zhang Kentao. However, people always have the mentality of watching the bustle. I know that two people don't deal with it. But he also surrounded it curiously. I want to see what high-end things Zhang Kentao has made this time.
"This time. I bought a vase from England that is said to be from the Ming Dynasty. I want Brother Huang to help me identify the authenticity!" Saying it. Zhang Kentao opened the package in his hand. Then a box was taken out of it. Open the box. Carefully take out the things inside.
This is a very exquisite workmanship. The shape of the celadon vase is also very exquisite. More or less people in the venue have a certain understanding of antiques. I saw such a beautiful vase. I couldn't help exclaiming.
Zhang Kentao proudly put the vase on the table in the center of the villa. Then he said to Huang Rongjin, "Brother Huang. It is said that you are very accomplished in the research of porcelain in the Ming Dynasty. Today, I will ask you, a master, to help me identify whether the vase is real or fake!"
Huang Rongjin gave Zhang Kentao a cold look. Identify the authenticity of this antique. But a university asked. Although Huang Rongjin has made a lot of efforts in this regard. But antiques are antiques after all. It's not like anything else. Identify the true from the false. It still takes a lot of effort. Not to mention. Now I look at it with my eyes in such a short time. Even experts have to use some high-tech tools to identify.
However, even so, if Huang Rongjin doesn't say why today, Zhang Kentao must have prepared a lot of words to ridicule him, and there is no need to think about it at all.
"How's it going, Brother Huang, this vase is good, isn't it?" Zhang Kentao said proudly when he saw Huang Rongjin's admiring eyes.
"Yes, it's really good." Huang Rongjin nodded and appreciated the vase.
No matter from which angle, whether it is the pattern or rust spots on it, etc., it can prove that this is a Ming Dynasty vase, but the more so, the more unsteady Huang Rongjin's heart is!
Zhang Kentao took such a vase to find himself for appreciation. There must be a trick, but where does he want to do something? Huang Rongjin couldn't guess, so he didn't dare to open his mouth randomly.
Just look at the vase carefully and check some details on the vase that are easy to be overlooked.
The conflict between Yang Ming and the pink-headed fat man was interrupted by Zhang Kentao as soon as he came in. The pink-headed fat man knew that he could not make trouble for a while, so he had to give up and looked at the vase on the table with everyone.
The pink-headed fat man can't see anything. He just thinks it's just a vase, but Yang Ming is tit-for-tat from Huang Rongjin and Zhang Kentao
I sensed something.
"Le Le, who is that Zhang Kentao?" Yang Ming walked to Huang Lele and asked in a low voice.
"It's a friend of my second brother, but he always likes to be sarcastic to my second brother. It should be the same this time. If my second brother can't tell the authenticity of this vase, he may say something unpleasant." Huang Lele hates Zhang Kentao very much, but he also understands the relationship between the two families. The second brother has nothing to do with him, and Huang Lele naturally has nothing to do.
Yang Ming nodded after hearing this and roughly understood the relationship between the two. It seems that Zhang Kentao is not a good person.
If you don't understand Zhang Kentao's purpose, Huang Rongjin will naturally not speak easily, but Zhang Kentao is a little impatient: "How's it going, Brother Huang, you are an expert in this field. Is this vase real or false?"
No matter where you look at it, this vase looks like it's real! But it was precisely because it was too true that Huang Rongjin did not dare to draw conclusions easily! Because the current technology is so developed, the forged technology is very powerful, and it is not uncommon to be able to make fake things.
Zhang Kentao took such a real vase to test himself. Could he be so kind? If this vase is really fake, Zhang Kentao will definitely take the opportunity to make fun of himself after saying that the vase is real.
But will Zhang Kentao not understand such a simple and easy-to-understand truth? Something is the opposite. If he identifies himself with an ambiguous thing that is not easy to identify and has a poor quality, it is really difficult for him to judge. But with such a real thing to judge yourself, how can you not be suspicious?
However, from another perspective, if this is just a counteriner plan, Zhang Kentao deliberately took a real vase to confuse himself and mistaken himself for a fake, which is not impossible!
In this way, Huang Rongjin is really a little difficult to get off.
As if he knew Huang Rongjin's thoughts, Zhang Kentao shook his head and stood aside unhurriedly: "I said, expert, you are a little too slow, aren't you? Even if you can't look carefully, at least give a preliminary opinion, right?
Huang Rongjin was a little annoyed and said to himself, if I gave a preliminary opinion, you would definitely bombard me, right? But it doesn't work if you don't say it. With so many people looking at himself, Huang Rongjin really has to tell the result today.
Well, even if he says that the vase is fake, if Zhang Kentao insists that the vase is real, then he has no choice. It's better to say it's true and can bet.
At least if the vase is fake, you have to say why it is fake, right? There must be a void, right? At least Huang Rongjin didn't see any fw.
So, Huang Rongjin nodded, took a deep breath and said, "After my preliminary judgment, it seems that this vase is real..."
Before Huang Rongjin finished his words, he was interrupted by Yang Ming. Yang Ming patted Huang Rongjin on the shoulder, and then said, "It seems that this vase is really similar! But it's still false. That's what Brother Huang means, right?
After hearing Yang Ming's words, Huang Rongjin was obviously stunned. Although he didn't understand why Yang Ming said that the vase was fake, Huang Rongjin knew that Yang Ming himself was extraordinary. If he said so, it must be reasonable!
Instead of guessing by yourself, it's better to listen to Yang Ming this time and make a bet. Anyway, I'm not sure. At worst, it's not a big deal to be ridiculed by Zhang Kentao.
"Is it true or false?" Zhang Kentao looked at Yang Ming with some dissatisfaction and thought, who is this guy? What did you interrupt?
"Hehe, that's what Yang Ming said!" Huang Rongjin nodded with certainty.
Zhang Kentao's face changed in an instant, but he immediately returned to normal. If he didn't look carefully, he couldn't see it at all. But if you can hide it from other people's eyes, it is impossible to hide it from Yang Ming's eyes.
"Hmm," Zhang Kentao regained his previous complacency: "Brother Huang, I'm afraid you guessed wrong this time? How can this vase be fake? This is what I bought at the British auction for 3 million British dollars!"
Huang Rongjin was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to answer, but out of trust in Yang Ming, he still turned his eyes to Yang Ming. Sure enough, Yang Ming disappointed him.
"Is it?" Yang Ming looked at Zhang Kentao with a smile: "Are you sure this vase is real?"
"I...Of course I'm sure! The vase is mine, and I have also found an expert to certify it. It must be true!" Zhang Kentao nodded definitely. He nodded. But in my heart, I'm so unhappy with the person in front of me. What's the matter with him?
"Then I have to say it's fake?" Yang Ming looked at the vase and then at Zhang Kentao and asked.
