The word "Su" appeared clearly under the illumination of the fluorescent flashlight.
"The ancient Chinese character Su was composed of the prefix "草" and "鱼hoe". This is how Su was written. There were no simplified Chinese characters at that time.
Su Xiaofan pointed to the bronze candlestick, held back a smile and said, this is their Sujia Village's unique anti-counterfeiting mark, and ordinary people cannot see it.
"This...maybe I made a mistake."
Su Xiaofan even brought out the evidence, but the man had nothing to say and put away the bronze candlestick with an embarrassed look.
"Xiao Su, you did a great job."
An expert next to him raised his thumb at Su Xiaofan.
Although Su Xiaofan was Jing Shizhen's disciple, he was still too young after all.
Before the primary election, two other experts still had some doubts about Su Xiaofan's level.
But Su Xiaofan's clean performance dispelled the doubts of those two people. No matter what industry they are in, capable people will always be respected.
Su Xiaofan's first appraisal ended just like that.
But what is embarrassing is that his identification did not make any splash.
There was still no one in front of Su Xiaofan's table. Obviously, those Tibetan friends queuing up still lacked confidence in Su Xiaofan.
Looking at the desks of Jing Shizhen and the other two experts, they were extremely busy.
Although there was air conditioning in the venue, Su Xiaofan could see that Uncle Jing was already sweating on his forehead.
"That expert is very professional in identifying bronzes. Friends who have bronzes can come here."
The staff of Yanjing Station also worked hard to persuade the Tibetan friends who were waiting in line.
However, the effect was not very good. Those collectors were probably afraid that Su Xiaofan was not professional enough and would miss their "priceless" treasure.
Uncle Jing obviously did not expect this situation to arise.
He is very busy now and cannot reverse this situation. After all, he cannot force those Tibetan friends to go to Su Xiaofan for appraisal.
"Teacher Su, I'm really sorry. It's because we didn't make arrangements."
The staff of Yanjing Station trotted to Su Xiaofan's side and apologized quietly. This situation was really embarrassing for Su Xiaofan.
"Teacher Su, otherwise..."
The staff member thought for a moment and then said, "Shall I ask my colleagues on the periphery to bring something to you for identification?"
"Looking for help?"
Su Xiaofan couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, it was done.
There were thousands of Tibetan friends at the scene holding items for appraisal, and I still needed to find someone to help me. I looked down upon myself as an "expert".
"Well, you guys go find a bigger brand."
Su Xiaofan said: "Fifty centimeters wide, well, about 1.5 meters wide, a white paper sign will do."
"Teacher Su, what are you doing?"
The staff was stunned for a moment.
"You'll know later. By the way, call your artist here too."
Today's scene made Su Xiaofan feel a little embarrassed, and he was ready to play something big.
"Well, okay, okay, we'll be ready soon."
The staff didn't know what Su Xiaofan wanted to do, but this small request was still met.
In just a few minutes, a temporarily removed billboard was placed on the table in front of Su Xiaofan.
"Teacher, please write a few words."
Su Xiaofan said to the artist politely: "Write with a brush so that the words can be thicker. Color? Use black."
"Well, what words should I write? Four words will do. If you make a mistake, you'll pay ten!"
Su Xiaofan said the word that had been brewing in his mind for a long time, and he would pay ten if he made a mistake.
"What? Pay ten for every mistake?"
Not only was the staff member stunned, but the artist was also a little dumbfounded. Usually others would pay ten if they were wrong, but this one actually paid ten if he was wrong?
Although the staff and artists are not people in the antiques industry, they also know that Su Xiaofan's tone is a bit too loud.
"Teacher Su, wait a minute?"
The staff obviously couldn't make the decision and ran away in a hurry.
"Teacher Su, is this appropriate?"
Within a few minutes, the on-site director came over.
"Director Zhang, doesn't your show just want effects?"
Su Xiaofan said with a smile: "As soon as you put out the fourteen words "one mistake and one apology", the effect will be there."
"Then...what if the identification is really wrong?"
Director Zhang wanted the ratings to be accurate, but he couldn't afford to lose ten if he made a mistake.
The price of antiques is not easy to determine.
The same antique may be worth 8,000 to 8,000 yuan when traded among collectors.
But if it goes up for auction, it might immediately soar to 100,000 or even hundreds of thousands. This is why many collectors want to put their collections up for auction.
If Su Xiaofan misappraises an object, let alone hundreds of thousands, even if it is worth one hundred thousand, if it is wrong and the price is ten, it will still cost one million.
"It's okay, I'll be responsible if anything goes wrong." Su Xiaofan said firmly.
If Su Xiaofan were asked to prove where the fake items were, he might not be able to tell.
But purely to identify authenticity, Su Xiaofan can identify more than a dozen items for you in one minute, and none of them are wrong.
"Teacher Su, would you like to think about it again?"
Director Zhang knew that this matter was a double-edged sword. If he got it right, the ratings would increase significantly, but if he screwed up, he might be in for a lawsuit.
"No need to think about it, as long as it's bronze, I'm sure."
Su Xiaofan shook his head. He did not dare to say that all antiques were fake and he would pay ten for one.
Although it could be done, it would be too ostentatious and unreasonable, and would bring a lot of trouble to Su Xiaofan.
"Uncle Jing, look at this..."
Director Zhang didn't dare to make up his own mind and ran to Jing Shizhen's table.
Jing Shizhen is the leader of the expert group. If he agrees to this matter, Director Zhang will not be held responsible.
"What? Pay ten for every mistake?"
Hearing Director Zhang's words, Jing Shizhen frowned. He was too busy here just now and didn't know what happened at Su Xiaofan's desk.
"Xiaofan, this matter must be taken lightly. Are you not cowardly?"
Jing Shizhen turned his attention to Su Xiaofan. He did not expect that his disciple, who had not yet been accepted as a disciple, would make such a move.
Of course, Jing Shizhen had to admit that once this sign offering ten for every mistake was put up, the crowds at Su Xiaofan's desk would definitely change.
But if the identification is really wrong, Su Xiaofan will also bear a lot of responsibility.
Even Jing Shizhen didn't dare to shout the slogan "10 for every mistake" in this kind of quick appraisal situation.
"Uncle Jing, I told you that you are brave, please reply this time." Su Xiaofan chuckled.
"I don't know if you are stupid and bold or if you are really capable."
Uncle Jing was also a little hesitant. This matter could be big or small. If he shouts this slogan for the sake of face, if he messes up, it will affect Su Xiaofan for the rest of his life.
"Uncle Jing, I only appraise bronzes, no problem!"
Su Xiaofan said firmly.
This is the first time that Su Xiaofan has encountered such an embarrassing situation in his life. The program team was unable to break the situation, so Su Xiaofan had to find a way on his own.
"That's... okay, but don't be brave. If you can't see the object you're looking for, call me."
Jing Shizhen thought about Su Xiaofan's background and nodded in agreement.
After all, the Bronze Ware Village where Su Xiaofan learned his skills is also a famous brand, and Jing Shizhen himself can give Su Xiaofan the details, so it shouldn't be a big problem.
One dares to think and the other dares to agree. It has to be said that Su Xiaofan and Jing Shizhen, master and disciple, are both bold.
If someone takes the blame, the program team naturally agrees. This is a way to increase the ratings and attract people's attention.
Soon, the artist wrote the four words "10 for one mistake".
Another staff member came over, stood beside Su Xiaofan's table, and held up the sign with a cross written on it.
"You'll pay ten if you're wrong? What do you mean?"
"If the appraisal is wrong, we will pay ten times the value of the antique?"
"Oh, let me go, this is awesome."
"What? Only bronzes? Not porcelain?"
"If you make a mistake, you will pay ten. This is more cost-effective than going to the auction."
As soon as the sign was raised, it immediately caused a commotion at the scene, and someone immediately consulted the staff.
After learning that non-bronze antiques would not be appraised, many people returned to their original queue in disappointment.
But more people stopped in front of Su Xiaofan's table and formed a long queue.
If it weren't for the staff to maintain order, two people at the scene almost got into a fight fighting for position.
"The bustling world is all for profit; the bustling world is all for profit..."
Seeing this scene in front of him, Su Xiaofan couldn't help but think of this sentence.
He believed that these people in front of the table now wish they were younger, because only if they appraise the wrong object can they get compensation of ten for one mistake.
"There are too many people. I only appraise and give the appraisal results. I don't estimate or explain..."
Su Xiaofan looked at the busy crowd in front of him and said to the staff: "You tell them first. If they can accept it, come and evaluate it. If they can't accept it, forget it."
To identify the authenticity of an item, you need to have evidence to support it.
But what Su Xiaofan lacked was knowledge in this area, so the ugly words came first. He only wanted to identify the truth and falsehoods, and did not explain anything else.
Regarding this, the people at the scene could accept it.
After all, there are so many people queuing up. If we explain them one by one, we probably won’t be able to identify a few objects in an hour.
[Repair value: 106 points! 】
[The general seal of the Han Dynasty can be repaired, but 1 point of repair value needs to be deducted! 】
Su Xiaofan also didn't expect that the first object he appraised would be genuine.
This is a copper seal from the Han Dynasty. It is only about the size of a thumb. The words engraved on it are still very clear and well preserved, but the button seal is a little incomplete.
After writing the appraisal results on the paper, Su Xiaofan then asked the next treasure appraiser to come forward.
The program team specially deployed a camera and pointed it at the table in front of Su Xiaofan, for fear of missing any shot.
With the camera as evidence, if any disputes arise later, the program team will be able to take the initiative immediately.
"Fake, modern craft!"
"Fake, modern craft!"
"This is too fake, uncle, do you know where this bronze money tree is? It is in the museum of this country."
Su Xiaofan's appraisal speed was very fast. In just ten minutes, he had appraised more than ten items, but the only real antique was the bronze.
This on-site appraisal was also an eye-opener for Su Xiaofan.
I don’t know where these collectors got these objects from, but someone actually came over with the famous money tree. This thing is a national first-class cultural relic. If it is real, I am afraid that I will be handed over by the relevant departments on the spot. Catch it.
Of course, there were a lot of doubts. Many people cursed when they learned that the items they collected were identified as fakes.
Su Xiaofan didn't refute it. With the camera as evidence, they could take these things to an authoritative identification agency. As long as they could prove that Su Xiaofan made a mistake in the identification, the penalty of ten for every mistake would still be valid.
Of course, the so-called authoritative organization must be recognized by Su Xiaofan, such as the National Cultural Relics Appraisal Center.
Otherwise, there are so many "experts" now, and if anyone gives an appraisal result, Su Xiaofan will probably die.
It costs money to go to the National Cultural Relics Appraisal Center to appraise items. As for whether these people go or not, it is none of Su Xiaofan's business.
