Chapter 193: The No. 1 Case in the World (Part 2)

"Brother Yao, do you see something going wrong?" Hearing what Jiahao said was a little off, Luo Zihao suddenly became nervous and said quickly, "If you see something going on, then please just say it.

, It doesn’t matter, I invited you here just to hear your opinion. I have to make this exhibition foolproof, otherwise my reputation may be completely ruined!”

Jiahao stared at the table and pondered for a moment, then turned back to Luo Zihao and said with regret: "Brother, since you value this exhibition so much and are afraid of something going wrong, I suggest you not to put this thing away."

Take it to an exhibition."

"Why?! This...is something wrong with this red sandalwood?!" Luo Zihao suddenly widened his eyes and asked in horror.

Jiahao hesitated for a while, but finally nodded and said: "Brother Luo, I'm sorry, but I have to say that your 'Yaoxia No. 1 Case' is wrong. It is a forgery. But this case

Counterfeit things are no small matter!"

As soon as these words came out, Luo Zihao suddenly felt like a deflated rubber ball, his body suddenly went limp, and he shouted loudly: "What a tragedy! I got hit in the eye!!"

"Brother Yao, what's wrong with this red sandalwood piece?! Yes, it's absolutely right!"

Luo Zihao finally recovered from the shock and panic. He looked at Jiahao with confusion on his face.

He was doubtful about Jiahao's judgment.

It's not that he doesn't believe in Jiahao's eyesight, but he can't believe his own eyes. How could such good rosewood be a fake?

"Brother Yao, do you mean to say that this red sandalwood case is a few years old and is newly made red sandalwood furniture?" Then Luo Zihao asked again.

Jiahao shook his head solemnly and said: "No. Brother Luo, if it is rosewood furniture, no matter how new it is, a piece as big as this must be worth a lot of money."

"Then... what on earth is going on?!" Luo Zihao gasped, the confusion in his eyes getting stronger.

He really couldn't understand that the "Yaoxia No. 1 Case" he spent a lot of money to acquire was actually a fake, not even a new imitation.

This result is so surprising and scary!

Jiahao explained in detail: "I just said that what we saw about this piece of rosewood is correct, it is very beautiful, there is no defect at all, and it is impeccable, but... if you are just superstitious, then...

What a mistake! You must also know why I am sure of this. I just put some powder on the mouth wipe and put it into the wine, and the wine contains alcohol. When the rosewood meets the alcohol,

, they will produce some kind of chemical reaction, and then emit bursts of purple gas. You said you are sure that the thing is authentic based on this..."

"Yes!" Luo Zihao suddenly interrupted him and asked, "Brother Yao, isn't it right?! This method can be used to identify the authenticity of rosewood, right?!"

Jiahao nodded and said: "It is indeed possible, but it is too one-sided! I believe that many people are in the same situation as you and have been deceived by this situation. This is the case with antiques. When appraising, problems often occur in places where you are very confident.

, because the counterfeiters will only know better than you. They can make an illusion and use the easiest features of an antique to cover up its true appearance, such as this piece of rosewood. The counterfeiters will naturally not put it on the surface.

If they want to stick other woods, they will only stick to rosewood, or woods with the same characteristics."

"Brother Yao, the more you talk, the more confused I become." Hearing Jiahao's words, which were metaphorical and profound, Luo Zihao was confused, so he hurriedly asked.

Jiahao smiled slightly and said: "Brother Luo, didn't I explain it very clearly? Didn't you hear clearly?"

"What did you say?" Luo Zihao said still confused, "Since you said that this piece of rosewood is fake and it can't even be considered a new piece of rosewood furniture, what evidence is there?

The thing is, it matches the characteristics of old rosewood very well! Look at the material and patina, it’s absolutely perfect!”

Jiahao smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said, "But that's all we saw."

"What do you mean?" Luo Zihao said bluntly, "Brother Yao, don't ask me to guess riddles. If you see something, just tell me. I can still bear such a small blow."

Jiahao patted the table gently and said: "Brother Luo, in addition to identifying the purple air emitted by it, there are many ways to identify rosewood. Some of them are fundamental. For example, rosewood is heavier than ordinary wood. If you use

If the same amount of rosewood is used to make such a large desk, I am sure that it will be heavier than this one. It's just that you didn't consider this carefully when you purchased it, and you just ignored it."

"You mean this rosewood is made of the wrong material?! It's not made of rosewood?!" Luo Zihao seemed to have understood something and asked in a deep voice.

"Yes!" Jiahao looked straight and nodded vigorously, "The material used is wrong. To be precise, most of its materials are not made of rosewood, but other woods. It's just that it is covered with a layer of genuine wood.

of redwood.”

"Laminated?! A layer of rosewood leather was pasted on the countertop made of other wood?!" Hearing this, Luo Zihao suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Jiahao in surprise.

He seemed to finally understand, but he was hesitant and still couldn't believe it.

"Yes, it is pasted on." Jiahao said truthfully, "But this red sandalwood case is no small matter. It is very exquisitely done. It can be said to be 'perfect'! Brother Luo, if you don't believe it, you

You can use a knife to make a deep cut, and after scratching through the thin layer of rosewood veneer, you will find that what is underneath is not beautiful rosewood."

"No need!" Luo Zihao shook his head heavily and said with a dejected look, "You are so sure, what else do I have to doubt? I just didn't understand it just now, but now I know it clearly! Hey

, I was so impatient at the time that I didn’t think of this! If only I had known you earlier! Then I wouldn’t have blinded myself and suffered such a big loss!”

Jiahao comforted: "Everyone has a chance. Things are like this. It's useless to blame yourself and regret. Then how are you going to deal with this matter now? After all, the price is worth 80 million, which is not a small sum.

oah.”

"It's useless!" Luo Zihao shook his head and said with a sigh, "I can't settle the score with him. I have no shame. I begged him in every possible way at that time, but he didn't guarantee the authenticity of the things. Besides, I promised not to

It was returned, so this is entirely of my own free will. I can only blame my poor eyesight for the eye-piercing!"

Jiahao nodded and said: "Indeed, this is the rule in this industry. If you buy the wrong thing, you can only keep it secretly."

He could naturally see that Luo Zihao was a very face-conscious person. If a big collector like him went back on his promise and returned this piece of rosewood now, his reputation would definitely be damaged and he would inevitably become a joke.

After all, the seller is not maliciously deceiving. Maybe he himself is not aware of this situation and the item is wrong from the beginning.

"Haha, that's all!"

After a while, Luo Zihao smiled heartily and said: "Brother Yao, thank you this time! If you hadn't pointed out this thing, I would still be holding this red sandalwood stupidly a few years later.

I’m not going to participate in the exhibition. If someone recognizes me then, I’ll be really miserable!”

This incident seemed to him like a blessing among misfortunes, and he escaped disaster.

Therefore, he was naturally full of gratitude towards Jiahao.

Jiahao quickly shook his head and said: "Brother Luo, you are too polite, but I haven't done anything to help you."

In his eyes, Luo Zihao was indeed a rich man. He looked at him with nearly 100 million as if nothing had happened, and his mood quickly recovered.

It can be imagined that Luo Zihao was often slapped in the past, but for the sake of face, he endured it.

Eye-piercing is perfectly normal in the antique industry, but some people lose a small amount of money while others suffer heavy losses.

Luo Zihao is undoubtedly the latter!

Next, Luo Zihao asked Jiahao to look at several other antiques. The remaining antiques all emitted "treasure light", so there was no big problem.

At the end, Luo Zihao took out a check that had been prepared and handed it to Jiahao. He solemnly said: "Brother Yao, thank you so much today! This is a small gesture, please accept it!"

"Brother Luo, what are you doing?!" Jiahao didn't even look at the amount on the check. He immediately pushed the check back and said with a serious expression, "I treat you as a friend and I came here to show you something."

, it’s not for appraisal. I have a principle that I usually show it to my friends and not to others. If you really want to thank me, then please come to our auction tomorrow."

"Of course I will go, and I will try my best to take pictures of that piece of porcelain, because I really like that piece of enamel-colored porcelain!" Luo Zihao agreed without hesitation.

Hearing his words, Jiahao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This was the result he wanted.

And Luo Zihao is undoubtedly a huge potential buyer. With his participation, Mingyao's porcelain will definitely be able to fetch a satisfactory price, which will also appease the depressed teacher Fu.

After showing Luo Zihao the antiques, Jiahao said goodbye and left the collection room. Luo Zihao naturally saw him out of the villa in person and drove him back to the hotel.

"Brother Yao, your eyesight is really unpredictable. I admire you so much!"

In the car, Luo Zihao looked at Jiahao with reverence and said: "I also envy you very much. It would be great if I had your ability, but unfortunately this thing cannot be learned overnight. Brother Yao, I still

I have a heartfelt request, I wonder if you can agree to it?"

Jiahao nodded and said, "You tell me first. If I can do it, I will try my best."

"Of course you can do it." Luo Zihao smiled and said, "If you can't do this, then who can I expect? Brother Yao, you have also seen that I got an eye shot this time and suffered heavy losses, but fortunately you were in time

Help me point out the problem and prevent the situation from getting worse. Otherwise, the consequences may be really unimaginable, and my collection may be destroyed there. So I have to be careful when collecting in the future, but as for me now

This kind of eyesight is hard to guard against many things, but if I have your help, then I can sit back and relax. Haha, I don’t mean to ask you to be my full-time appraiser, but if you have time in the future, please give me more advice, and

Help me with my eyes, I don’t want to suffer such a big loss again!”

"That's no problem. If you have any questions, just ask me. I will definitely show it to you if it's convenient." Jiahao nodded without hesitation and agreed to Luo Zihao's request, speaking very straightforwardly.

"Thank you very much!" After hearing what Jiahao said, Luo Zihao was naturally very happy. This was the answer he wanted. He originally thought that Jiahao would say some gentle rejection or vague words, but he didn't say anything.

The emperor agreed and was so generous.

Now with the help of Jiahao, a genius appraiser, Luo Zihao finally breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't have to worry about making such a big mistake in the future.

"You're welcome." Jiahao smiled and shook his head gently. The reason why he showed his closeness was simply to win over the potential big buyer in front of him. Of course, being able to get to know a big and wealthy collector like Luo Zihao was naturally a bonus.

Good thing.

"Brother Yao, come on, let's have another cup." Luo Zihao was extremely happy and poured another cup of old red wine for Jiahao and handed it to him.

"Thank you." Jiahao took it.

The two clinked their glasses together, then sipped from each other.

The fine wine enters the throat, and the fragrance overflows. It penetrates the heart and spleen, making you intoxicated.

After three rounds of drinking and becoming slightly tipsy, Luo Zihao and the others drove Jiahao to a hotel, which was the same hotel where Bai Yao held the treasure appreciation exchange meeting.

Lin Haitao is still guarding the very precious piece of enamel-colored porcelain in the hotel. Tomorrow, the treasure will be put on the auction table. Jiahao and the others are nervously preparing for the relevant matters.

After the car stopped in front of the hotel entrance, Jiahao said goodbye to Luo Zihao and quickly returned to the room he booked.
