Old Sun's face was already a little too pale to hold back.
In his opinion, this young man spoke so convincingly that he was a bit too pretentious.
But in fact, Qin Hao knew better than anyone else in his heart -
He wasn't pretending at all; he was desperately trying to recall.
There are many things he knows.
Though I know, there are some words that I just can't say.
This kind of fraud is called "supplementing porcelain" in the trade.
Qin Hao carefully considered his words, trying to be as vague as possible.
To put it simply, it's about finding broken pieces from the same era, reassembling them, re-firing them in a kiln, and finally doing an antique treatment.
As for the specific process... I'm not quite sure either.
This statement was very restrained.
Of course, Qin Hao was well aware of the method of mending porcelain.
It's just that I didn't understand it before. Now, when I think of my grandfather's skills back then, a sense of awe arises in my heart instead.
Old Sun was silent for a while before slowly speaking:
Then how did you tell it was fake?
Qin Hao pointed at the oil hammer bottle.
"Sound." "
Saying that, he gently tapped the bottle.
The porcelain of that period made a clear and long-lasting sound, like the roar of a dragon.
"But this..." "Rather hoarse." "
After saying this, Qin Hao himself felt a bit guilty.
This was what his grandfather taught him back then. In fact, he himself couldn't tell the difference at all.
But at this moment, I could only grit my teeth and go on.
Another thing is the eye appeal and the touch.
Old Sun nodded.
Eye contact, touch.
This is the most mysterious yet also the most recognized way of judgment in the industry.
It can only be understood by feeling, not expressed in words, and no one can refute it.
"Really a counterfeit?" "
Old Sun's tone carried a hint of hesitation.
To be honest, he himself found it a bit hard to accept.
After all, he has always been very confident in his own eyesight.
To be honest, I feel rather ashamed.
Old Sun sighed, "At first, I didn't notice it either. It was those two old guys from the Forbidden City who discovered the problem."
You have no idea that they even had a quarrel over this matter.
Qin Hao just smiled and didn't respond.
He knew in his heart that what the old man said was almost a repeat of what he had said.
It just didn't specify who discovered it first.
Later, carbon-14 was developed.
Old Sun continued, "The result shows it's genuine, but opinions still haven't reached a consensus."
It was only after using acoustic wave detection that the problem was truly identified.
Shopkeeper Wu was stunned.
"At this level..."
He couldn't help whispering, "It's too high, isn't it?"
Old Sun just smiled and said no more.
Then, his gaze fell on Qin Hao, and his tone became a little more serious.
"Young man, are you interested in learning something from me?" "
Qin Hao was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head.
"Not for now." "
"I have to stay in Yun City. My parents are not in good health, especially my dad. His condition is still unstable." "
Old Sun wasn't surprised and nodded.
"Exactly." "
"I came here today just to broaden your horizons." "
Having said that, he turned his head and said to Shopkeeper Wu:
This child is quite good. Have you paid the appraisal fee?
As soon as the words were spoken, the person got up and left.
It was not until Mr. Sun had walked far away that Shopkeeper Wu let out a heavy breath.
"All right, you brat."
He looked at Qin Hao, his eyes clearly different.
Then he made a decisive decision:
The probation period is three months.
"Five thousand yuan a month. Food and accommodation are mine." "
Qin Hao nodded.
This condition is far better than that bastard Wu Bapi.
Jingtingxuan is a big store. Together with Qin Hao, there are three employees in total.
One is called Gao Changjiang.
One is called Zhou Qing.
Gao Changjiang is an upright person with a quick temper.
Zhou Qing appears honest and doesn't talk much, but he has many ulterior motives.
At first, both of them were somewhat hostile towards Qin Hao.
In the antique shop, three assistants are already a bit too many.
In this line of work, it's common not to open for three years, so the location is naturally sensitive.
After spending two days together, the atmosphere gradually eased.
"Qin Hao, sweep the floor later."
Zhou Qing casually gave the order.
"Why don't you sweep?" "
Gao Changjiang frowned.
"Give the newcomers a chance to show themselves." "
Zhou Qing smiled innocently.
"Ok, I'll do it."
Qin Hao didn't mind.
Just sweeping the floor. It's nothing.
"Right." "
Gao Changjiang suddenly asked, "The shopkeeper asked you to look at the things on the shelf. Have you finished looking at them?"
"Finished reading." "
Qin Hao nodded. "By the way, I picked something." "
The most important purpose of his coming here is to get the market trend.
He can tell the truth from the falsehood.
But if you don't understand the price, you will suffer losses sooner or later.
"Something from the Republic of China era." "
Gao Changjiang explained, "It's usually between eight hundred and five thousand."
What is truly valuable will never be placed outside.
Zhou Qing added:
In our line of work, we emphasize asking for exorbitant prices.
"If you don't set the price high, customers won't feel the sense of achievement from bargaining and won't buy it." "
Qin Hao nodded.
This is the truly valuable experience.
"What about the one in the cabinet?" "
Gao Changjiang shook his head.
That's not something we can touch.
"Even those who try to find bargains wouldn't come to such a place to search." "
In the afternoon, Shopkeeper Wu came back.
"Have you seen everything?" "
"Finished reading." "
Qin Hao handed over the two items he had picked out.
"This bottle." "
"Your label is from the Republic of China era, but it's actually from the late Qing Dynasty. It's considered a fine piece." "
Shopkeeper Wu nodded in satisfaction.
"What about this one?" "
Xuande Furnace, with the inscription "Made in the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty" on the bottom.
"It's not an official furnace."
Qin Hao said, "It was imitated in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, but the craftsmanship is quite good."
Shopkeeper Wu didn't ask any more questions; he just nodded.
It wasn't long before he left the store.
When he reached the door, Shopkeeper Wu took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.
After the call was connected, he paused for a moment before speaking in a low voice
"Old Sun."
"The child you brought today..." "
Halfway through his words, he suddenly stopped.
Shopkeeper Wu narrowed his eyes and slowly lifted the corners of his mouth.
