Chapter 883

"Brother Huang, why do you look down on me as an old man? You didn't notify me when you held a reception?" Zhang Kentao walked into the lobby of the villa carelessly, followed by two attendants, one of whom held a With a big package.

Huang Rongjin's face changed slightly, and he forced a smile: "Brother Ken Tao, look at what you said, I think you are usually very busy, this is just an informal family reception, so I didn't send you an invitation card .However, with the relationship between our two families, there is no need for invitations, right? No, can you come directly if you want?"

Although Huang Rongjin's words were polite, what he said was neither soft nor hard, and there were thorns in his words.

And how could Zhang Kentao not hear it? However, it is normal for two people to fight against each other, and Zhang Kentao was stingy in his words first, so at this moment he said nonchalantly: "That's right, we brothers don't care about those nonsense anymore! I just heard that Brother Huang is here If you hold a reception, I'll rush over to cheer you up."

"Really?" Huang Rongjin looked at Zhang Kentao, since he is here, he can't be kicked out, at least on the surface, both of them are okay: "Then please take a seat, the reception will start soon."

"Before the reception starts, I have a rare treasure that I want to bring to Brother Huang to help me appreciate it!" As he said, Zhang Kentao waved his hand, and asked the attendant behind him with the package to hand over the things in his hand. come over.

"Oh, then I have to appreciate it." Huang Rongjin said with a smile on his face. Both of them are in the collection industry, and both have some reputations, but Huang Rongjin's reputation is a little bigger, so Zhang Kentao often asks him to guess what some tricky and weird things are, in order to make him look ugly, but it is a good name Said is to appreciate.

For example, last time Zhang Kentao got a Song Dynasty bronze cup and asked Huang Rongjin to judge in which year it was made. Fortunately, Huang Rongjin had an expert by his side, so Zhang Kentao left angrily. .

This time, I don't know what Zhang Kentao is trying to do again, but one thing is for sure, this guy has absolutely no good intentions. In front of so many people, he must have thought of some way to make himself look ugly again.

Of course, although he knew in his heart that this would be the case, he did a good job on the surface. Huang Rongjin pretended to be surprised, and walked quickly in front of Zhang Kentao.

Most of the people present knew the grievances between Huang Rongjin and Zhang Kentao, but they always had the mentality of watching the excitement. They knew that the two of them would not deal with each other, but they surrounded them curiously, wanting to see what Zhang Kentao did this time. Something high-end came out.

"This time, I bought a vase from England that is said to be from the Ming Dynasty. I want Brother Huang to help me identify the authenticity!" Zhang Kentao opened the package in his hand and took it out He picked up a box, opened it, and carefully took out the contents.

This is a celadon vase with exquisite workmanship and exquisite shape. The people present more or less have a certain understanding of antiques. Seeing such a beautiful vase, they couldn't help but gasp in admiration.

Zhang Kentao proudly placed the vase on the table in the center of the villa, and then said to Huang Rongjin: "Brother Huang, it is said that you are very accomplished in the study of porcelain in the Ming Dynasty. I would like you, an expert, to help me identify the vase today." True or false!"

Huang Rongjin glanced at Zhang Kentao coldly. The authenticity of this antique is a university question. Although Huang Rongjin has put in a lot of effort in this area, antiques are antiques after all. Unlike other things, authenticity can be identified. Come on, it still takes a lot of work. Not to mention, in such a short period of time, even experts need to use some high-tech tools to identify it with their eyes.

However, even so, if Huang Rongjin didn't tell the reason today, Zhang Kentao must have prepared a lot of words to ridicule him, there is no doubt about it.

"How about it, brother Huang, is this vase not bad?" Zhang Kentao said proudly when he saw Huang Rongjin's admiring gaze.

"Well, it's really good." Huang Rongjin nodded and began to appreciate the vase.

No matter from which angle you look at it, whether it's the pattern on it or the rust spots, etc., it can prove that this is a vase from the Ming Dynasty, but the more it is like this, the more uneasy Huang Rongjin feels!

Zhang Kentao took such a vase and asked him to appreciate it, so he must have some tricks, but where is he going to make a fuss? Huang Rongjin couldn't guess, so he didn't dare to speak randomly.

Just look at the vase carefully and check some details on the vase that are easily overlooked.

The conflict between Yang Ming and Fentou Fatty was interrupted by Zhang Kentao as soon as he came in. Fentou Fatty knew that there would be no more trouble for a while, so he had to give up and followed everyone to look at the vase on the table.

The pink-headed fat man couldn't see anything, he just thought it was just a vase, but Yang Ming noticed something from the tit-for-tat dialogue between Huang Rongjin and Zhang Kentao.

"Lele, who is that Zhang Kentao?" Yang Ming walked up to Huang Lele and asked in a low voice.

"He is a friend of my second brother, but he always likes to ridicule my second brother. This time it should be the same. If my second brother can't tell the authenticity of this vase, he may say some nasty things again. "Huang Lele hates Zhang Kentao very much, but he also understands the relationship between the two families. The second brother has nothing to do with him, and Huang Lele naturally has nothing to do.

Yang Ming nodded after hearing this, and roughly understood the relationship between the two. It seems that this Zhang Kentao came from a bad place.

Without understanding Zhang Kentao's purpose, Huang Rongjin naturally wouldn't speak easily, but Zhang Kentao became a little impatient: "How about it, brother Huang, you are an expert in this field, is this vase real or fake?" of?"

No matter where you look at it, this vase looks real! But it was precisely because it seemed so real that Huang Rongjin didn't dare to draw conclusions easily! Because the current technology is so advanced, the forgery technology is very powerful, and it is not uncommon to be able to make things that are fake.

Zhang Kentao took such a real vase to test himself, could he be so kind? If this vase is really a counterfeit, Zhang Kentao will definitely take the opportunity to make fun of himself after he says the vase is real.

But would Zhang Kentao not understand such an easy-to-understand principle? Things are always reversed. If he uses an ambiguous object that is not easy to identify and has a poor quality to identify for himself, then he will really have a hard time judging. But with such a real thing to judge for yourself, how can you not be suspicious?

However, from another perspective, if this is just a countermeasure, Zhang Kentao deliberately used a real vase to confuse himself, making himself mistakenly think it was a fake, it is not impossible!

In this way, Huang Rongjin was really a little bit hard to get off.

As if he knew what Huang Rongjin was thinking, Zhang Kentao shook his head and stood beside him calmly: "I say expert, you are a bit too slow, right? Even if you can't take a closer look, at least give a preliminary opinion Bar?"

Huang Rongjin was a little annoyed, and thought, if I express my initial opinion, you will definitely come and bombard me, right? But it doesn't work if you don't say it. With so many people looking at him, Huang Rongjin really has to say something today.

Well, even if he said that the vase was fake, if Zhang Kentao firmly insisted that the vase was real, then he would have nothing to do, he might as well say it was real and take a gamble.

At least if the vase is fake, you have to tell why it is fake, right? There has to be a loophole, right? At least Huang Rongjin didn't see any flaws.

Therefore, Huang Rongjin nodded, took a deep breath and said, "After my preliminary judgment, it seems that this vase is real..."

Before Huang Rongjin finished speaking, he was interrupted by Yang Ming. Yang Ming patted Huang Rongjin on the shoulder, and then said, "It looks like this vase is really made! But it's still fake. Brother Huang is Do you mean that?"

After hearing Yang Ming's words, Huang Rongjin was obviously taken aback. Although he didn't understand why Yang Ming said the vase was fake, Huang Rongjin knew that Yang Ming himself was superior. He must have a reason for saying this!

Rather than making guesses on his own, it would be better to listen to Yang Ming this time and take a gamble. Anyway, he is not sure about the matter. The worst thing is to be ridiculed by Zhang Kentao, which is not a big deal.

"Is it true or not?" Zhang Kentao glanced at Yang Ming with some dissatisfaction, and thought, who is this guy? What to say?

"Hehe, what Yang Ming said is exactly what I mean!" Huang Rongjin nodded with certainty.

Zhang Kentao's face changed in an instant but returned to normal immediately. If you don't look carefully, you can't see it at all. But it is impossible to hide it from Yang Ming's eyes if it can be hidden from other people's eyes.

"Hmph," Zhang Kentao resumed his previous complacency: "Brother Huang, I'm afraid you guessed wrong this time? How could this vase be fake? This is the vase I bought at an auction in England. Bought it for three million pounds!"

Huang Rongjin was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer, but out of trust in Yang Ming, he still turned his attention to Yang Ming, and sure enough, Yang Ming disappointed him.

"Really?" Yang Ming looked at Zhang Kentao with a half-smile: "Are you sure this vase is real?"

"I...Of course I'm sure! The vase is mine, and I have certified it with an expert, so it must be real!" Zhang Kentao nodded with certainty. But in my heart, I am extremely unhappy with this person in front of me. What's the matter with him?

"Then what if I have to say it's fake?" Yang Ming looked at the vase, then at Zhang Kentao and asked.
