The second lot in the auction brochure is a Warring States jade.
The diameter is 12.5 centimeters. From the picture, the jade is cyan, a bit chicken bone white, and the color is also very simple. The transition is more natural and there is no earthy color.
The jade biscuit is engraved with grain patterns using relief techniques. The grains are full and arranged in an orderly manner. It looks like a grain of millet. This is also a common carving technique for jade bis of the Warring States Period.
If the real thing is consistent with the picture, then the market price of this piece of jade can reach two million. If the whiteness of the chicken bones is more obvious, the value will be even higher.
At this time, the beautiful host had already invited the second item to be auctioned. When the red cloth was lifted, a piece of jade similar to the one in the picture appeared in front of everyone.
"The second lot is a white Hetian jade jade from the Warring States Period. The starting price is 200,000 yuan, and each increase in price must not be less than 10,000 yuan."
Just as Xie Baokun was about to raise the placard as planned, he was stopped by He Ren. Under the puzzled eyes of Xie Baokun and Zhang Nuo, He Ren said loudly, "Can I take a closer look at this jade?"
The beautiful host was startled, then showed a professional smile, "Of course, please."
"Plans have changed, so don't bid yet."
He Ren only had time to remind the two of them in a low voice before he quickly walked forward.
This is also the rule at private auctions. Since there is no one to endorse it, the organizer allows bidders to come forward to check the treasure to avoid being noticed.
But the time cannot exceed two minutes, otherwise everyone will have to do it again and there will be no need to hold an auction.
As for why no one went up to the first lot, on the one hand there were not many people interested, and on the other hand the Buddha statue opened the door at a glance, so there was no need to look at it.
He Ren suddenly changed his plan because he didn't think this piece of jade looked real. He didn't even use his treasure eye. It doesn't matter whether it can be opened or not for something worth more than two million yuan.
So He Ren had to take the initiative to look at the real thing. He had already memorized Catfish's notes and knew several ways of counterfeiting ancient jade.
Just when He Ren walked in front of the jade, Xu Qingjie also walked up. He had been deceived by He Ren just now, and he didn't want to be fooled again.
At the same time, seven or eight people came to the front together. Obviously they were also very interested in this piece of jade.
He Ren had already taken the lead in putting on his gloves and holding the jade in his hands. After looking at it carefully for more than a minute, He Ren frowned deeply.
The more He Ren looked at it, the more he felt that there was something wrong with this piece of jade, but he didn't find any problem.
It sounds like a tongue twister, but it's actually just a feeling. I can't tell what's wrong, but He Ren just feels it's wrong.
"Have you seen it almost enough? It's my turn."
Just when He Ren didn't understand what the problem was, Xu Qingjie picked up the jade from He Ren's hand and put it in his own hand.
He Ren was startled. When he raised his head, the light happened to shine on the back of the jade, and three or five short and shallow cracks suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.
"I see……"
This is such a fake!
The method of counterfeiting is the simmering method mentioned before. Simply put, it involves roasting the jade with fire and then burying it underground. The fake jade made in this way will definitely have cracks caused by fire.
However, this faker was really very clever. He actually used jade powder to cover the cracks. Unfortunately, the grain patterns on the jade must be carved first before being roasted. It is inevitable that there will be cracks under the grain patterns, and no matter how skilled you are, they cannot completely cover them.
After confirming his judgment, He Ren began to improve his acting skills again.
He shook his head first, then turned around and left. Xu Qingjie was startled and put back the jade in his hand. Could it be a fake?
But he had just been deceived by He Ren, and he would not be easily fooled. He continued to stare at He Ren for a long time. When He Ren returned to his seat, Xu Qingjie saw the corners of He Ren's mouth raised and said something to Xie Baokun, Xu Qingjie felt that He Ren was lying to him again, and this jade was probably real.
Xie Baokun did say a few words to He Ren, "Brother He, how is the situation?"
"Fake."
"Fake?"
Xie Baokun was startled, and when he looked up, he saw that the jade had been put back, and the real-time projection appeared on the big screen again. Xie Baokun looked at it for a long time, but he didn't see anything wrong.
"Brother He, this..."
The corner of He Ren's mouth raised, "There are a few tiny cracks on the back, caused by the fire."
"ah!"
Xie Baokun really didn't expect that the counterfeiting technology has reached such a high level that it can be mistaken for the real thing.
He Ren saw Xie Baokun's thoughts, "You can't be wrong. In order for the chicken bones to reach this level of whiteness, they need to be roasted for a long time. The jade will become brittle and will crack in less than two years. The real passage of time The ancient jade used for baptism will not crack on its own."
Xie Baokun rolled his eyes, how many years will it take? In a few years, the day lilies will be cold.
Zhang Nuo looked through the phenomenon to get to the essence of the matter, "Will we make an offer at that moment?"
"Come out."
He Ren was delighted, "Didn't you see that my acting skills are exploding? Now that boy must think that I am acting on purpose. As long as we bid, he will definitely follow suit."
Zhang Nuo also rolled his eyes, "You? Your acting skills are amazing? That means Xu Qingjie doesn't watch TV series very much, so your acting skills are not as good as Neck Brother."
He Ren was anxious, "After all, don't curse!"
While talking and laughing, the jade jade was already sold for 500,000 yuan. However, there were only four bidders. Half of those who had seen it before did not bid, and Xu Qingjie naturally did not bid either.
He Ren directly raised the sign in his hand, "Nine hundred thousand."
Zhang Nuo's eyes widened, "Are you crazy? You knew it was a fake and you offered 900,000?"
He Rencheng was confident, glanced at Xu Qingjie, smiled and said to Zhang Nuo, "Don't worry, if it's nine million, that kid might hesitate. Nine hundred thousand is probably just his pocket money. Just watch. He will definitely put up a sign."
But He Ren's prediction was wrong this time. Xu Qingjie did raise his hand, but quickly put it down again. He was hesitating!
He Ren was also a little panicked. If he bought a fake for 900,000 yuan, then this person would lose a lot and his wallet would suffer a lot...
Fortunately, someone assisted at this time, "Number 21, 910,000."
He Ren did not hesitate this time and raised the sign in his hand again, "One million!"
No. 21 glanced at He Ren, made a gesture like a bear spreading his hands, and then raised his right hand, meaning to give it to He Ren, and he withdrew.
Zhang Nuo could no longer care about the shock, "You...could there be a mystery in this piece of jade?"
"What's the mystery? Martial arts secrets?" He Ren said with a smile, "Just watch, he will definitely take action."
"One million and one million!"
Before He Ren finished speaking, Xu Qingjie raised the sign in his hand. He had obviously determined that He Ren was acting and this jade must be real.
Xu Qingjie, who thought he had seen through He Ren's tricks, looked in the direction of He Ren, folding his arms and smiling.
The meaning is obvious, isn’t it just money? I have plenty.
As a result, He Ren was not as furious as Xu Qingjie expected. Instead, he put his right index and middle fingers together on his forehead and gave Xu Qingjie a Patton-style military salute.
Meaning, thank you, I salute you SalUte!
Xu Qingjie looked confused, and then he made the deal...
He Ren smiled and said to Zhang Nuo, "Look, simple psychology, master it!"
