Treasure Hunt all over the World

Ye Tian smiled and nodded, and then began to explain the reason.

"This is indeed a high imitation Yongle blue-and-white plum vase. I am sure of it. I am very confident in my own eyesight. It is absolutely impossible to make a mistake, otherwise it will be a waste of fame.

The object it imitates is the Ming Yongle blue-and-white plum vase with intertwined branches and lotus patterns in the National Museum. It is a very famous Ming Yongle blue-and-white porcelain, which is invaluable.

On the basis of the Ming Yongle blue and white plum vase with intertwined branches and lotus patterns in the National Museum, this high imitation blue and white plum vase has been slightly changed, changing the small mouth to an open mouth, which is very confusing!

When I returned to Beijing for the New Year, I carefully admired the national treasure collected by the National Museum, and was fortunate enough to personally appraise it. It can be said that I am very familiar with it, and I still remember it fresh.

Brother Zhang, since you like collecting antiques, you must have seen the national treasure porcelain in the National Museum of China. If you take a closer look, what are the similarities and differences between these two blue and white plum vases? "

Before the words were finished, Brother Zhang leaned down impatiently, his eyes widened, and he began to carefully examine the high-quality imitation blue and white plum vase that was placed on the table and nearly ruined his entire family.

With Ye Tian's reminder, when he looked at this high imitation blue and white porcelain again, Brother Zhang saw something was wrong in the blink of an eye, there were flaws everywhere.

"I'll go! The lotus pattern pattern on this blue and white plum vase is exactly the same as that of the Yongle blue and white plum vase in the National Museum. It's almost like a copy!

Another point is that the modification of the mouth of the bottle is relatively blunt, and the ratio of the mouth of the bottle to the body of the bottle is not coordinated. What a stick! Such a big flaw was never discovered! "

Brother Zhang suddenly realized that he was going crazy with remorse.

Of course, his expression was also very embarrassing, his face was flushed, and he was a little embarrassed to look at Ye Tian.

With my extremely scumbag identification skills, I am ashamed to say that I am a collector of antiques and artworks. It's really embarrassing!

For Brother Zhang's extremely embarrassing performance, Ye Tian seemed to have never seen it.

He has seen too many antique art collectors like this who are full of confidence and are actually sticks. No matter whether it is Chinese or foreign, the antique art market is everywhere.

When Brother Zhang calmed down a little, Ye Tian immediately continued with a smile:

"In addition to the blue-and-white intertwined lotus patterns and the proportion of the bottle mouth and body, look at the blue-and-white blooming of this porcelain.

Is it a bit unnatural? Is the degree of dizziness slightly insufficient?

Ming Yongle blue and white porcelain is made of imported 'Su Ma Li Qing', which is similar to Yuan blue and white, and the hair color is easy to smudge, and the smudge is very natural, just like traditional ink painting!

Due to the high iron content of 'Su Ma Li Qing', there are often rust spots and tin light in the blue and white patterns. Although there are rust spots on this porcelain, they are bitten out by acid and float on the surface.

In addition to the high iron content, the content of cobalt oxide in 'Su Ma Li Qing' is also extremely high.

Touch the body of this porcelain bottle with your hands, especially the decorations, to see if there is any obvious concave feeling, that is also a distinctive feature of Ming Yongle blue and white,..."

While Ye Tian was narrating, Brother Zhang was verifying this piece of porcelain one by one, very seriously.

As time passed, his complexion became more and more ugly and embarrassing, his eyes were full of despair, and he felt a little ashamed.

After Ye Tian finished explaining the basis of his appraisal, Brother Zhang also ended the appraisal and gave up completely.

After taking two deep breaths in a row, the big Tianjin brother raised his head and looked at Ye Tian with red eyes.

"I'm convinced! My brother is really convinced, Ye Tian, ​​you are indeed the top expert in the appraisal of antiques and works of art. This appraisal skill is really amazing. Brother, I'm just a stick!"

As he said that, Brother Zhang cupped his hands and cupped his hands, his eyes full of admiration.

Ye Tian also cupped his fists and cupped his hands, and said with a polite smile:

"You are too flattering, Brother Zhang, I also read a lot of good things, handled a lot of things, and I have a little bit of understanding, so I slowly practiced it.

'See more and buy less', if you have the time, you'd better go to top museums like the Forbidden City and the National Museum more, and see more of those collections, I believe you can practice it! "

Brother Zhang shook his head slightly, and said in frustration:

"If you want to become an expert in antique art appraisal, you must have extraordinary talent. Obviously, brother, I don't have this kind of talent, so I don't want to be wishful thinking!

By the way, Ye Tian, ​​you just said that this matter is slow, do you have a way to change the current result? If there is a way, I must give my brother a clear way.

To be honest, my brother spent most of the family savings in order to buy this junk thing, if it is irretrievable, my brother will lose a lot"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Ye Tian eagerly, his eyes were extremely hot and full of expectation.

The same goes for his wife and children not far away, they all looked at Ye Tian with full expectation, still full of tears.

Ye Tian smiled lightly and nodded, then said:

"Brother Zhang, you just said that when the foreigner antique shop owner introduced this high imitation blue and white plum vase to you, he said that it is a very good Chinese antique porcelain and is worth collecting, isn't that true?"

"That's right, that's how the dead foreigner introduced it at the time. I remember it very clearly, and I'm sure that my wife and daughter were there and heard it.

Our French interpreter, as well as other tourists who were in that antique shop at the time, all overheard our conversation, both Chinese and foreigners! "

Brother Zhang gritted his teeth and nodded, giving an affirmative answer.

Hearing his answer, Ye Tian immediately said firmly:

"That's the end! I was slow in what I said just now, and that's why, as long as you can confirm this point and obtain unanimous testimony from all witnesses, then you have a good chance of recovering the loss.

Fortunately, the antique swindler is the owner of an antique shop, not a street vendor in a flea market somewhere, and his shop can be found, so the identity of the antique swindler can also be confirmed.

The trading rules of European and American antique art markets are slightly different from those in the domestic market. In the domestic market, if you make a mistake, it is basically impossible to recover the loss, so you can only admit it!

European and American markets are different. Since he clearly told you that this is an antique porcelain, but he sold you a high-quality imitation porcelain, there is no doubt that he has constituted a crime of commercial fraud."

Hearing this, Brother Zhang and his family's eyes lit up immediately, like searchlights.

The despair and frustration in their eyes before began to dissipate quickly, and soon disappeared, replaced by hopeful eyes and high fighting spirit.

Although excited and hopeful, they did not interrupt Ye Tian's words, but listened patiently.

After a short pause, Ye Tian continued to say:

"Brother Zhang, there are a few things you have to do next. Immediately hire a professional lawyer, and then go to collect testimony with the lawyer, and ask those witnesses to testify for you.

Take this high imitation porcelain to an authoritative testing agency for a scientific test, such as a carbon 14 test, to determine the age of its firing, and then, you can sue that antique liar!

According to my estimation, there is a very high possibility that this matter will eventually be settled outside the court. If that antique liar still wants to make a living in this industry, he will never want to make this matter public.

In that way, you will be able to recover your losses, although of course, you may have to bear a lawyer's fee, the cost of related scientific tests, and perhaps delay your trip.

When confronting the other party, if you can act tougher, you might be able to pass the legal fees and testing fees on to the antique liar. This is undoubtedly the best result.

Since you don't often deal with lawyers and don't know much about European and American laws, I can ask my lawyer to introduce you to a professional lawyer who specializes in commercial fraud.

As for the cost of hiring a lawyer, you don’t have to worry about the lawyer’s extravagant price, it’s definitely the most fair price in the EU market, and I can assure you of this.”

Before the words fell, Brother Zhang cheered excitedly.

"That's great! Ye Tian, ​​thank you for pointing out the maze, and thank you for your help. I'm going to sue that grandson right now, trying to cheat me, but there's no way!"

Ye Tian smiled softly, and then continued:

"To be sure, you'd better contact the cultural counselor of the Chinese embassy in Brussels first and ask them to help you stand up. Those compatriots in the embassy will probably not refuse.

After contacting the cultural counselor of the embassy, ​​meeting with the lawyer, and making preparations, don’t forget to contact the media and police in Brussels, as well as various Chinese media in Brussels.

China has good relations with the European Union and Belgium, and all European countries want to attract more Chinese tourists. For the sake of maintaining the tourism image, Belgium will not sit idly by.

You must remember that you must create momentum. Only in this way can you attract more attention and exert great pressure on that antique liar to facilitate the smooth resolution of the matter.

If you need me to issue an appraisal conclusion, you can contact me directly. Although this is Europe, I am very sure that no one can ignore and overturn the appraisal conclusion I gave! "

"hiss--!"

There was another sound of sucking air in the Swan restaurant.

Including Brother Zhang's family, everyone was shocked by Ye Tian's generosity, and they all stared at him dumbfounded, their eyes full of disbelief.

This guy is so ruthless, he is ready to kill people as soon as he makes a move. Judging by his posture, he has no intention of leaving that antique liar alive at all!

Just when everyone was terrified, a waiter at the Swan Restaurant walked over to Ye Tian's table with a bottle of sober Bordeaux wine.

The episode of identifying antiques is over, and next, it’s time to enjoy wine and food!
