Chapter 14

"Lao Qian, do you mean it's fake?" Li asked incredulously.

Old Qian took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes. Then he said: "As we all know, copper weapons basically disappeared after the Qin Dynasty, and copper armor was very rare in the Qin Dynasty. To tell you the truth, I was shocked when I first saw this thing. If it was so well preserved at that time, it was very rare. After a closer look, many details showed that it should be a product of the Shang Dynasty. I wouldn't be happy without the Tang Dynasty "You'll find it's a fake," Qian said, glancing at Tang Qi with gratitude.

After drinking a sip of water, Qian pointed to his helmet and continued, "look here." hearing the speech, the people hurried around, and even the Lord's old dragon couldn't help but wonder and came over.

"Is there any problem here?" the people were still confused.

Old Qian smiled and said slowly, "no problem is the biggest problem. There is no problem with the helmet casting, shape, inscription, sound, taste and material. At first, I almost believed it. Later, when I saw this fan, I thought it was wrong. The fan mark is the feature of the genuine product, but this fan mark is too real. Look at this ground pattern and follow the pattern."

"My God! This..." old Liu patted his thigh and exhaled in shock. Lord long and the other two elders were also shocked.

"There's still such a craft in the world. I've lived most of my life. I've seen countless skilled craftsmen, but today I'm still open my eyes!" the Dragon Master said somewhat absently.

"Yes, the fan mark is completely outlined by inscriptions and patterns. There is no defect. The craftsmanship of the counterfeiter is amazing!" old man Wen echoed with surprise.

Tang Qi also understood that the original helmet seems to be an irregular pattern naturally formed during casting, which is actually outlined by the strokes of inscriptions and patterns, and the inscriptions and patterns are not inconsistent at all, which is very natural.

Seeing that everyone understood, old Qian smiled and said, "since we all see that dating is naturally no problem?"

"He Erniu!"

"Hahaha..."

Everyone said a name with one voice, then looked at each other and laughed.

Old Liu said with a smile, "since it was this fake, it's not a shame if we look out of sight."

"Lao Liu, don't forget this young man." Wen Lao reminded Liu Lao Dao. Then Wen Lao looked at Tang Qi with appreciation: "the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. I didn't expect such a young talent from the young generation. We old bones are about to be shot to death on the beach!" hearing the speech, everyone was stunned. Then they all looked at Tang Qi with appreciation.

Tang Qi blushed. His family knew his own affairs. In fact, he didn't understand anything. He secretly decided to make up for his antique knowledge in the future to avoid such a situation as today.

"Grandpa Qian, who are you talking about he Erniu?" a girl's voice suddenly sounded in the hall. The girl asked most people's questions, including Tang Qi.

Old Qian smiled and said, "let old long answer this question for you. He is better at telling stories than me."

Tang Qi also found that the old dragon is the main character here, not only because of the identity of the owner, but also because of many things he can't understand.

Old long looked at Tang Qi with a smile. Then he slowly opened his mouth to the hall and said: "During the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, there was a craftsman named he Erniu. At that time, the status of a craftsman was very low, but he Erniu was an exception. His works were sought after by countless people, from dignitaries to ordinary people. It can be seen how skillful his craftsmanship was. Unfortunately, he had great courage and imitated a royal treasure lost in the previous dynasty, and the treasure went out After entering the palace, no one could see that it was a fake. Later, the real product appeared. He Erniu committed the crime of bullying the king and was beheaded by Emperor Guangxu. "After that, the Dragon Master's face was sad, and the people were all sad.

"Li Da Pao, although you are a fake, you have great collection value. There are not many works handed down by he Erniu." old Qian suddenly comforted.

Old Li's face is much better when he hears the speech. Although he is a little lost, he is more thankful. If no one sees through today, he must show off everywhere with his own character. It will be a real shame to be exposed at that time. Thinking of this, old Li said to Tang Qi with gratitude: "Xiao Tang, I've written down this favor today, and there will be something uncertain to come to me in the future."

The faces of many people in the speech hall changed, even a little jealous. There was a little more dignified in Tang Qi's eyes.

Tang Qi didn't know how much energy these old people had. He didn't feel anything at all when he heard Li's words. He leaned over and said, "it's all seen by Qian Lao, but the boy can't take credit." as soon as Tang Qi said this, the old people on the table looked at him more gently.

"The young man has the ability and doesn't make public. Good! Good!" the old man nodded with appreciation.

Several middle-aged men on the table have also changed color. You know, the old man in front of us hasn't boasted for a long time. Only a few people can get good comments from old long. Now they are famous.

"Xiao Tang, show your things to old Liu." old Qian smiled at Tang Qi. Tang Qi was the man he brought. At this time, Tang Qi was praised by everyone, and old Qian felt a light on his face.

"Oh, did Xiao Tang bring something?"

Tang Qi hurriedly put the Buddha statue in his hand on the table when he heard the speech. Everyone's eyes were attracted by the Buddha statue on the table. After seeing what it was, everyone's face was a little strange. It's not surprising that they were clumsy. The appearance of the Buddha statue was really ugly.

Seeing that Qian Lao's face was not like joking, Liu Lao dared not neglect it. He also took out his gloves and took up the Buddha statue to observe. Gradually, Liu Lao's face became a little excited.

After a long time, Liu laocai cautiously put the Buddha statue gently on the table, looked at Tang Qi and said, "Xiao Tang, you are a great thing!"

"Oh?"

Everyone looked surprised. Old long also took out his gloves and took the Buddha in his hand to observe. After a long time, he carefully put the Buddha back on the table. The other elders also looked at it in turn.

"If I'm right, this Buddha statue was made in the Northern Song Dynasty. Although it's worth a few money, it's not worth your fuss?" Li finally looked at it and said in surprise.

Old Qian smiled and asked, "old Li, why are antiques worth money? What kind of antiques are worth money?"

Old Li rolled his eyes and said angrily, "isn't it that rich and powerful people want to pretend to be B? How can rich and powerful people show their status? They can't hit people with money. Isn't this antique the best way? If you pretend to be B, others will praise you for your taste and culture. That's cool!"

Everyone was shocked. No one expected that old Li would have such a high opinion. Several old people stared at old Li. After being shocked, all the people around covered their mouths, wanted to laugh and dared not laugh, and their faces turned red.

"Puff......" only Mickey, the girl, smiled back and forth. Old Li was not angry, but smiled and looked at Mickey.

"You... You old cannon!" Qian's face turned white and his fingers trembled slightly, pointing to Li.

Li Lao also felt inappropriate when he finished, but with such a temperament, although he knew that his words were a little extreme, he would not easily bow his head, shut up and stop talking.

Long Lao pointed to Li Lao with a smirk on his face and said, "Lao Li, your bad temper is still so bad. It's smelly. There are so many young people here. Aren't you afraid to bring them bad?" Li Lao Wen said with a shame on his face.

Long Lao stood up, glanced at the crowd and slowly said, "in fact, what Lao Li said is also reasonable. Now life is better, and there are more and more rich people. Many people begin to cherish their feathers after they have money. They are dissatisfied with their identity and status, so they begin to look for things that can show their identity. Therefore, they pursue antiques without brains. In fact, they don't understand anything!"

At this point, the old dragon accentuated his tone and continued: "Antiques are the crystallization of our ancestors' wisdom, the embodiment of our nation's 5000 year excellent culture, and the precious cultural heritage left to us by our ancestors. Each antique reflects the social, cultural, scientific, technological and cultural information at that time. Each antique represents a period of history. Each antique is unique and cannot be replaced by any other artifacts."

Old long paused and continued: "in the eyes of real antique people, every antique is priceless, but what is priceless in this world? As long as there is market demand, there will be price, which has both advantages and disadvantages for antique. The advantage is that it has been valued by everyone and is easy to preserve. The disadvantage is that antique is about to lose its original meaning and become a vulgar thing."

Long Lao pointed to the Buddha statue on the table and continued: "like the Buddha statue of Xiao Tang, Lao Li took a look. Oh, in the Northern Song Dynasty, it was worth some money, but Lao Liu said it was not simple. Lao Liu, please tell us why the Buddha statue is not simple." long Lao said and sat back in his chair.

As a negative example, old Li's face was ashamed, and everyone in the hall looked thoughtful. Many people were ashamed like old Li.

Old Liu stood up excitedly, nodded to old long and said, "what old long said makes me feel guilty. In fact, I also vaguely feel the problem of the current antique market, but it's not as thorough as old long. Before that, my first reaction when I saw the antique was how much it was worth, alas!"

Liu picked up the Buddha statue on the table and continued: "the market price of the Buddha statue brought by Xiao Tang is about 3 million, but it is priceless in the eyes of some people. Because of the history it represents, there are still many disputes in China's Buddhist culture and history. There are too few historical relics that can be verified, and this Buddha statue can solve many disputes, so it is extremely precious!"

With that, old Liu turned to Tang Qi and said, "Xiao Tang, I don't know if you want to sell this Buddha statue. I'm willing to buy it at the market price." hearing the speech, everyone looked at Tang Qi.

Tang Qi felt a lot at this time and said, "Liu, you said this thing is useful to the country. I don't want money. Take it if it's useful!"

Everyone was stunned. Old long said, "Xiao Tang, what's your occupation now?"

Tang Qi said, "I'm a student of South China University."

The old dragon said again, "where are your parents?"

"My parents are farmers," Tang Qi said faintly.

"Buzzing..." the hall suddenly became noisy. People looked at Tang Qi more strangely. Did this boy pretend? A poor boy from a peasant family doesn't want to blink for three million eyes. Where did NIMA come from!

Of course, Tang Qi is not so noble, but he didn't pay too much attention to money, just enough. Now he has special ability. It's very easy for him to make money. To tell the truth, he doesn't care about three million.

The old dragon thought for a while before saying, "well, don't blame the old man. I'm forced to buy and sell. I want your thing, two million. Give me your bank account number."

"This..." Tang Qi hesitated, but he couldn't say anything against him in the powerful atmosphere of the old dragon.

Old Qian also said, "don't refuse, Xiao Tang. We old guys can't let you suffer here."

Tang Qi had no choice but to write down his bank card number on the paper handed over by Lord long.

Next, several elders became interested in Tang Qi and kept questioning Tang Qi like checking his registered permanent residence. For a time, Tang Qi became the focus in the hall.
