"No, sister, don't think too much."
He Ren quickly corrected it. He was really afraid that someone would maliciously edit it and then take his appraisal result and lie to others that it was worth more than one million.
"This is a seven-character white porcelain couplet written by Wang Jie during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. It costs about 100,000 yuan for you. A good one can be sold for 150,000 yuan."
"Really? Teacher."
The young lady was still surprised. He Ren smiled and said, "Really, I can definitely sell it for 100,000 yuan."
"That's not what I mean. I want to ask if this white porcelain couplet is real? Is it really from the Qing Dynasty?"
"It's true, and it's definitely written by Wang Jie. It's not a masterpiece. It should be the kind of thing written casually for the sake of friends. But this kind of white porcelain couplet is relatively rare, and it's white glaze. It costs 100,000 yuan. It’s definitely no problem.”
"But..." The young lady was obviously hesitant, "But some people said it was false."
"Miss, don't worry, it must be true."
He Ren was very sure, he even looked at it with a treasure appraiser, and there was absolutely no problem.
"But that expert is quite famous..."
He Ren frowned and was about to refute, but suddenly he remembered a case he saw when reading Catfish Notes and asked, "Miss, after the expert said it was fake, did he contact you privately again? Want to?" Buy it at a low price?"
"How do you know?" The young lady was shocked, "He did call me and said that although the thing was new, he liked the craftsmanship very much and wanted to give me 10,000 yuan to collect it... Ah! He is a liar! "
This time, not only the treasure appraiser, but also the treasure friends also reacted.
"Damn it! This expert is really bad."
"That's right, I saw a piece of news before. An expert deceived a peasant uncle and bought an authentic painting of Qianlong for 170,000 yuan, and then sold it for more than 80 million yuan."
"Holy crap! Is it true?"
He Ren happened to see this barrage and explained, "There is indeed a rumor in the market. The "Songyang Han Bo Tu" that was auctioned at that time was indeed an authentic work of Qianlong, and it sold for a high price of 87 million."
"More than ten years ago, my uncle watched a popular treasure appraisal program. He had an ancestral painting, so he took it to have it appraised. The expert identified it as a late Qing Dynasty imitation and was not worth much. But not long after, the expert contacted the uncle privately and said A friend liked this type of painting and was willing to pay 170,000 yuan to buy it. Later it was put on the auction block and the seller happened to be that expert..."
"As for whether the painting was the one sold by the uncle, both parties disagree, and there is no conclusion. At least legally, there is no way to conclude that it was the painting that the uncle sold to the expert. After all, the two parties signed a contract, so we can only let it go."
Treasure friends were excited, "The experts must have lied."
"It's such a loss, even a farmer uncle has to be deceived."
"87 million, I can't spend it all in a lifetime."
He Ren did not continue to explain. He was also a tendency expert who deceived the uncle. Otherwise, how could he have bought a fake and an authentic one? Is this such luck?
But why is the authentic work of Qianlong in the hands of a peasant uncle? The uncle couldn't explain it clearly, he just said it was passed down from his ancestors.
The young lady suddenly spoke, "The expert I'm looking for is also invited by a treasure appraisal program, it's "Dabaojian"! The expert's name is Wang Yan, and he contacted me privately!"
"Eh?" He Ren was startled, "Miss, do you have any evidence for this? Hello?"
The young lady suddenly cut off the video connection. He Ren was numb. He noticed something strange. He couldn't master the silky little combo of the young lady. Why did he suddenly do such a move?
He Ren felt that the loopholes were obvious. Wang Jie's white porcelain couplets were only worth about 100,000 yuan, and 150,000 yuan was as high as the sky. What expert would be so greedy?
Still an expert who can be on the show...
Naturally, the treasure friends were even more angry. With the background of the story about Qianlong's authentic "Songyang Han Bo Tu", they all believed in what the young lady said and cursed the expert named Wang Yan.
He Ren suddenly woke up. Could this young lady be here to fish?
As for not knowing the whole story and refusing to comment, He Ren cannot listen to the young lady's side of the story, and this matter has nothing to do with him.
He Ren laughed and prepared to change the subject, "Let's connect with the next treasure friend."
…
He Ren didn't want to cause trouble, but trouble found him.
Shortly after the live broadcast ended that day, Catfish hurried over and He Ren was stunned as soon as he spoke, "Brother He, did you talk about Wang Yan during the live broadcast today?"
He Ren slapped his forehead and told the story again.
Catfish ignored the explanation and immediately asked Zhang Nuo to pull up He Ren's live broadcast video today. He watched it carefully and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that He Ren did not directly comment on Wang Yan.
He Ren asked, "Is this Wang Yan very powerful?"
"Very impressive." Catfish nodded, "He turned out to be an expert in the Forbidden City. After retiring, he opened an antique shop. He is quite famous and has many friends. He is also the honorary president of the Shaanxi Antiques Association and a director of the National Antiques Association. "Dabaojian" hired him this time and spent a lot of money. He is the chief treasure appraisal expert. It is impossible for him to engage in private contact with buyers, and the things are not expensive, so people can't afford to ruin his own brand."
He Ren told his guess, Catfish frowned and said, "Fishing law enforcement? It is possible, but the question is who would do this?"
"Competitors." Zhang Nuo suddenly said, ""Dabaojian" is the most popular treasure appraisal program on the entire Internet, and it has harvested a lot of traffic and ratings. Recently, a platform is also following the example of "Dabaojian", and There is an online treasure appraisal program called "Qi Jian Xia Tian Shan", and they are also auditioning."
He Ren understood, but he was still a little confused, "Then why did they come to me?"
"Because the older brother was the one who appraised the Bodhisattva Bodhisattva bottle. He posted on the Internet, accusing "Dabaojian" of defrauding appraisal fees. This is the post."
Zhang Nuo turned the screen over, and He Ren and Catfish immediately went over to watch it. At first glance, they were shocked. He Renqi said, "I have also heard of the program "Dabaojian". How can such a popular program do this? Aren’t you smashing your own sign?”
Catfish curled his lips, "I'm sure what this big brother said is true, and the person who contacted him must be someone from within the show team. Do you know "The Voice of China"? If you want to be on the show, you have to pay money, and the instructor turns around You also have to pay money, and you have to pay even more to get a ranking.”
He Ren was numb, but he understood the reason.
It was probably the eldest brother who came to appraise the treasure and found it to be fake. He posted an angry post and was seen by the competitors of "Dabaojian". He quickly arranged for a shill to come and appraise the treasure and pointed the finger at "Dabaojian" and their chief. Expert Wang Yan, He Ren was simply used as a weapon.
Although He Ren was angry, he was not in a hurry, "Teacher Catfish, I didn't say anything extreme. Can't I just explain the matter clearly?"
Catfish's expression was ugly, "It's not that simple..."
He Ren was puzzled, "Why?"
"Because Teacher Wang Yan's mind is... very small."
Before Catfish could finish his words, his cell phone rang...
