There are still a few days before He Ren officially signs the contract. In the past few days, he has been studying the notes Catfish gave him and learned a lot of fraud methods.
There are dozens of ways to make jade look old, which is really eye-opening for He Ren...
The more common ones are simmered head, rust-buttoned jade, oil-drawn jade, sheep jade, dog jade, dead jade, etc.
The so-called simmering is to roast the jade with fire, so that the color of the jade becomes gray, which looks like "chicken bone white". This method of making the old is also called "pseudo-old" or "gray old". It is not difficult to distinguish. As long as it has been roasted with fire, there will be tiny cracks on the jade, but there will be no real chicken bone white.
So sometimes don’t think that because of cracks, jade has been baptized by time. It is usually baptized by lighters or spray guns...
This is a relatively elementary way of making things look old, and the more difficult thing is rusting. This is a way of making things look old since the middle of the Qing Dynasty, so it’s hard to tell the difference.
Counterfeiters will mix jade blanks with iron filings, quench them with hot vinegar, put them in a humid cellar for a period of time, and then bury them underground.
After a year and a half, when the jade is corroded by iron filings, orange peel patterns will appear. The rust in the patterns will be dark red and have soil spots, which are invisible to ordinary people.
Even more ruthless are sheep jade and dog jade. Generally speaking, counterfeiters will choose better-quality jade, carve it according to ancient knife techniques, then pull the legs of the live sheep apart, put the jade in, and then sew them together for a few years. When you take it out later, you will see blood texture on it, which is very similar to ancient jade handed down from ancient times.
At this time, you need to carefully observe the texture. The texture of ancient jade made in this way will not be particularly natural. Analysis can only rely on experience, which is more difficult.
Dog jade is even more cruel. The dog is killed, and after the blood has coagulated, the jade is placed in the dog's belly, and then buried in the soil. After a few years of removal, earthen patterns will appear on the jade, which can only be determined by color and carving. Trace identification.
In addition to studying fraud techniques, He Ren also studied the system.
He found that his system seemed to be very aloof. Apart from the things introduced during binding, there was no other introduction. In terms of skills, he only had a beginner's eye for treasures, such as novice gift packages, sign-ins, and draws written in novels. None of them.
As for the experience bar of the primary treasure appraisal eye, He Ren took one look at it and stopped looking at it. He tried it with the jade pendant he was wearing and successfully identified it once. After adding a little experience, the upgrade experience was a hundred thousand points...
He Ren felt that there was something wrong with what he appraised. After all, he had appraised this jade pendant a long time ago, and it was normal for him to have little experience.
Then He Ren went to Panjiayuan again and randomly identified a few fakes on the street stalls, and still got +1 experience.
Everyone is dumbfounded. If one hundred thousand treasures need to be appraised to upgrade, then it will take until the Year of the Monkey to appraise them?
He Ren didn't give up, so he found a well-decorated antique shop and used his treasurer's eye to identify several items from the Republic of China and the late Qing Dynasty. This time, it was not +1 experience, but +2, + 3 and +5.
There was even a piece of porcelain from the early Qing Dynasty that added 10 experience points to He Ren.
This gave He Ren some confidence. At least he no longer had to appraise 100,000 treasures. If he worked harder and broadcasted for a few more hours every day, he might be able to upgrade faster...
However, He Ren's hopes were soon defeated by another setting of the system. He found an energy bar with no numbers and only three colors: green, yellow, and red.
Based on the colors, He Ren also knew that green meant he was full of energy, yellow meant he could persist, and red meant his body was empty.
As for the effects of running out of energy bars, He Ren has no intention of trying...
What made He Ren's tooth hurt was that after wandering around Panjiayuan for less than four hours, he had used up most of his energy bar, and the yellow part was almost gone.
I went back to the hotel and rested for a night, but my energy bar was not filled up.
He Ren had the urge to scold his mother at that time. Why doesn't this system allow people to work hard?
But He Ren also knew that the system probably didn't want him to become invincible too quickly, so it could only develop slowly.
On Monday, He Ren arrived at Catfish's company early in the morning. Catfish also worked very hard. As a boss, he arrived earlier than He Ren. The two signed the contract. Catfish patted He Ren on the shoulder, " Brother He, from now on everyone will eat in a horse spoon, don't be restrained."
He Ren waved his hands repeatedly. He was just a good person. He didn't know what it meant to be restrained...
Catfish still attaches great importance to He Ren. Instead of letting him live broadcast alone from the beginning, he plans to let He Ren be his live broadcast assistant for a few days to help him gain popularity.
Of course, Catfish also wants to test He Ren and plans to let He Ren show off his skills during his live broadcast. If He Ren is not suitable for the live broadcast, Catfish can terminate the contract at any time.
Anyway, there is a one-month trial clause in the contract. In this era, as Party A, of course we have to be stronger.
…
"Good afternoon, dear friends."
As soon as Catfish started broadcasting, five to six thousand people flooded into the live broadcast room. In addition to the basic number of people, there were probably two to three thousand live people. The popularity was not low.
"The handsome guy sitting behind me? Has anyone seen the live broadcast of me going to Panjiayuan to pick up a leak last week? This is the treasure friend who picked up a piece of sea yellow in the live broadcast..."
"This guy's name is He Ren. He started studying antique jades when he was eight years old. He has been studying for fifteen years and has quite a lot of experience. That's why he was able to pick up the leaks during the live broadcast that day. I am a talent-loving person, and so does He Ren. If he likes to live broadcast treasure identification, I will ask him to come over and try it... It's not a favor, it's really not a favor. You can check it out yourself. If I join hands with him to promote it, let me check it every day."
Today's audience is much smarter than in the past two years, and they also like conspiracy theories. As soon as they saw He Ren sitting behind Catfish, some people said that He Ren's omission that day was a hype, and the purpose was to push He Ren out.
However, after Catfish swore such a poisonous oath, there were a lot less doubts, and their curiosity arose, and they all wanted to see what He Ren was capable of.
As an anchor, you naturally have to comply with the wishes of the audience. Catfish looked at the barrages that kept scrolling and said with a smile, "Don't worry, everyone, Brother He Ren will take action soon."
Catfish started to connect daily, and soon the treasure friends were attracted by his "mom"s again and again, and temporarily forgot about He Ren.
About half an hour passed. Catfish took a look at the number of people in the live broadcast room. It had just exceeded 20,000 people. He felt that the time was ripe. He smiled and said, "I'm going to pay my respects. I'll let brother He Ren take over for me for a while."
After saying that, Catfish stood up and stood aside, giving up the camera position to He Ren.
He Ren was nervous, but it didn't show on his face. The assistant had successfully connected with a person named "Brother Nine" at this time.
"Hello, Ninth Brother."
"Hello teacher, please help me take a look at this."
Before He Ren could say any kind words, he saw a milky white bracelet appear in the camera lens. It felt very moist and transparent.
"Why is the anchor silent? Can't you recognize him?"
"Let me just say that he was just lucky when he missed it last time, right?"
"If the anchor doesn't say anything, go down and replace him with the catfish."
Just when the treasure friends were getting a little impatient, He Ren suddenly spoke, "Brother, punishment, my little life is getting more and more decisive."
