Chapter 56 Wrong One Pays Ten (Part 1)
A character "Su" clearly appeared under the illumination of the fluorescent flashlight.
"The ancient Chinese characters for Su were the initials of Cao and Yuhe. Su was written in this way. There were no simplified characters at that time."
Su Xiaofan pointed to the bronze candlestick, held back a smile and said, this is the unique anti-counterfeiting mark of their Sujia Village, and ordinary people cannot see it.
"This...maybe I made a mistake."
Su Xiaofan even brought out the evidence, but the man had nothing to say, and put away the bronze candlestick with an embarrassing expression.
"Xiao Su, you did a great job."
An expert next to him gave Su Xiaofan a thumbs up.
Although Su Xiaofan is Jing Shizhen's disciple, he is still too young after all.
Before the primary election, the other two experts still had some doubts about Su Xiaofan's level.
But Su Xiaofan's clean and quick performance dispelled the doubts of those two people. No matter what line of work they are in, people with skills will always be respected.
Su Xiaofan's first appraisal ended like this.
But what is embarrassing is that his identification did not splash any water.
At Su Xiaofan's table, there was still no one there, obviously those Tibetan friends who lined up still lacked confidence in Su Xiaofan.
Looking at the desks of Jing Shizhen and the other two experts, they are extremely busy.
Although there is air conditioning in the venue, Su Xiaofan could see that Uncle Jing was already sweating on his forehead.
"The expert is very professional in the identification of bronze ware. Friends who have bronze ware can come here."
Yanjingtai’s staff are also working hard to persuade Tibetan friends who are queuing up.
But the effect is not very good. Those Tibetan friends are probably afraid that Su Xiaofan is not professional enough, and they have misjudged their "valuable" treasure.
Uncle Jing obviously didn't expect this situation to happen.
He is very busy now, and he can't reverse this situation. After all, he can't force those Tibetan friends to go to Su Xiaofan for appraisal.
"Mr. Su, I'm really sorry, we didn't arrange it well."
Yanjingtai's staff trotted to Su Xiaofan's side, and apologized in a low voice, this situation was really too embarrassing for Su Xiaofan.
"Teacher Su, how about..."
The staff thought for a while and said, "I asked the colleagues in the periphery to bring something to you for identification?"
"Looking for support?"
Su Xiaofan couldn't help laughing when he heard this, it was done.
There are thousands of Tibetan friends holding things waiting for identification, and I still need to find a trustee, so I look down on my status as an "expert".
"Well, you guys go find a brand, a bigger one."
Su Xiaofan said: "Fifty centimeters wide, um, about 1.5 meters wide, a white card will do."
"Mr. Su, what are you doing?"
The staff froze for a moment.
"You'll find out later, by the way, call your artists too."
Today's scene made Su Xiaofan feel a little embarrassing, and he was going to play big.
"Well, ok, ok, it'll be ready soon."
The staff didn't know what Su Xiaofan was going to do, but this small request could still be met.
In just a few minutes, a temporarily dismantled billboard was placed on the table in front of Su Xiaofan.
"Teacher, please write a few words."
Su Xiaofan said to the artist very politely: "Use a brush to write, so that the characters can be thicker, and the color? Use black."
"Well, what words should you write? Four words will do. If you make a mistake, you will pay ten!"
Su Xiaofan said the words that had been brewing in his mind for a long time, and he will pay ten for his mistakes.
"What? Pay ten if you make a mistake?"
Not only the staff member was stunned, but the artist was also a little dumbfounded. Usually, others pay ten for a fake, but this one pays ten for a mistake?
Although the staff and artists are not from the antique shop, they also know that Su Xiaofan's tone is a bit too loud.
"Teacher Su, are you waiting?"
The staff obviously couldn't make the decision, and ran away in a hurry.
"Mr. Su, is this appropriate?"
Within a few minutes, the on-site director came over.
"Director Zhang, isn't your show just about effects?"
Su Xiaofan said with a smile: "If you make a mistake and pay for it, as soon as the fourteen words are put out, the effect will come."
"Then... what if the identification is wrong?"
Director Zhang wanted the ratings to be true, but he couldn't afford to lose ten if he made a mistake.
The price of antiques is not very conclusive.
The same antique, in the hands of Tibetan friends, may be worth eight thousand.
But if it is put up for auction, it may be able to soar to hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands immediately, which is why many collectors want to put their collections on auction.
In case Su Xiaofan appraised the wrong object, not to mention hundreds of thousands, even something worth 100,000, if he made a mistake, he would pay 1 million.
"It's okay, I'll be responsible for any problems." Su Xiaofan said firmly.
Let Su Xiaofan prove where the item is, he may not be able to tell.
But for pure identification of authenticity, Su Xiaofan can identify more than a dozen pieces for you in a minute, and none of them is wrong.
"Mr. Su, do you think about it again?"
Director Zhang knows that this matter is a double-edged sword. If it is done well, the ratings will increase greatly, but if it is messed up, it may result in a lawsuit.
"Don't think about it, as long as it's bronze, I'm sure."
Although it can be done, it is too ostentatious, and it is not in line with common sense, it will bring Su Xiaofan a lot of trouble.
"Uncle Jing, look at this..."
Director Zhang didn't dare to make up his own mind, so he ran to Jing Shizhen's desk.
Jing Shizhen is the leader of the expert group. If he agrees to this matter, Director Zhang will not be held responsible.
"What? Pay ten if you make a mistake?"
Hearing Director Zhang's words, Jing Shizhen frowned. He was too busy just now, and he didn't know what happened at Su Xiaofan's desk.
"Xiaofan, this matter must not be taken lightly, you are also courageous?"
Jing Shizhen cast his eyes on Su Xiaofan, he didn't expect that he, a disciple who hadn't been accepted as a disciple, would come up with such a trick.
Of course, Jing Shizhen had to admit that, if the sign of 10-for-10 was put up, Su Xiaofan’s situation of being empty at the desk would definitely change.
But if the identification is wrong, Su Xiaofan will also bear a great responsibility.
Even Jing Shizhen did not dare to shout the slogan of ten compensation for mistakes in such a quick appraisal occasion.
"Uncle Jing, I already said I was brave, so please reply this letter." Su Xiaofan chuckled.
"I don't know if you are stupid and bold or really capable."
Uncle Jing is also a little hesitant, this matter can be big or small, if he yells this slogan out of face, if it goes wrong, it will affect Su Xiaofan for the rest of his life.
"Uncle Jing, I only appraise bronze wares, no problem!"
Su Xiaofan said firmly.
It was the first time that Su Xiaofan encountered such an embarrassing scene when he was so old. The program team couldn't break the situation, so Su Xiaofan could only find a way by himself.
"It's... alright, but don't be brave, and call me for objects you don't see correctly."
Jing Shizhen thought of Su Xiaofan's background, so she nodded in agreement.
After all, the Bronze Ware Village where Su Xiaofan studied art is also a gold-lettered signboard. Jing Shizhen can also give Su Xiaofan the bottom line, so it shouldn't be a big problem.
One dared to think, and the other dared to agree. I have to say that Su Xiaofan and Jing Shizhen, both master and apprentice, are bold.
If someone is responsible, the program team naturally agrees. This is a way to increase the ratings and attract people's attention.
Soon, the artist wrote out the four words "one mistake and ten compensation".
Another staff member came over, stood by Su Xiaofan's table, and held up the sign with the sign of a cross written on it.
"Ten compensation for one mistake? What do you mean?"
"Is it ten times the value of the antique that will be paid if the appraisal is wrong?"
"Oh, I'll go, this is awesome."
"What? Only bronzes are identified? Porcelains are not identified?"
"If you make a mistake, you will pay ten. This is more cost-effective than going to an auction."
As soon as the sign was raised, it immediately caused a commotion on the scene, and someone immediately consulted the staff.
After learning that non-bronze antiques were not identified, many people were disappointed and returned to the original team.
But more people stood in front of Su Xiaofan's table and formed a long queue.
If it weren't for the staff to maintain order, two people on the scene almost didn't fight for the position.
"When the world is prosperous, it's all for profit; when the world is bustling, it's all for profit..."
Seeing the scene in front of him, Su Xiaofan couldn't help but think of these words.
He believes that these people in front of the table wish they could be younger now, because only when they identify the wrong object can they get compensation for every mistake.
"There are too many people, I only identify, only give the identification results, no valuation, no explanation..."
Su Xiaofan looked at the mixed crowd in front of him, and said to the staff: "You tell them first, come and appraise if you accept it, and forget it if you don't accept it."
To identify the authenticity of an item, it needs to be supported by evidence.
But what Su Xiaofan lacks is the knowledge in this area, so the ugly words are in front, he just verifies the truth and doesn't explain anything else.
For this point, the people at the scene can accept it.
After all, there are so many people queuing up. If you explain them one by one, you may not be able to identify a few objects in an hour.
【Repair value: 106 points! 】
【Han Dynasty general seal, can be repaired, need to deduct 1 point of repair value! 】
Su Xiaofan didn't expect that the first object he identified was the real thing.
This is a copper seal from the Han Dynasty, only the size of a thumb. The engraved words on it are still very clear and well preserved, but the button seal on it is a little incomplete.
After writing down the appraisal results on the paper, Su Xiaofan asked the next appraiser to step forward.
The program team specially called up a camera and pointed it at the table in front of Su Xiaofan, for fear of missing any shots.
With cameras as proof, the program team can take the initiative immediately if any disputes arise later.
"Fake, Modern Craft!"
"Fake, Modern Craft!"
"This is too fake, sir, do you know where this bronze money tree is? It's in the museum of this country."
Su Xiaofan's appraisal speed is very fast. After more than ten minutes, he has already appraised more than ten items, but the only real antique is the bronze vessel.
This on-site appraisal was also an eye-opener for Su Xiaofan.
I don't know where these Tibetan friends got the objects, but someone actually came over with the famous money tree. This object is a national first-class cultural relic. If it is true, then I am afraid that the uncle will be confiscated by the relevant department on the spot. grab it.
Of course, there are also many doubts. Many people cursed when they learned that the items in their collection were identified as counterfeit.
Su Xiaofan didn't refute it either. With the camera as proof, they can take these things to an authoritative appraisal agency. As long as they can prove that Su Xiaofan made a mistake in the appraisal, the ten-for-one mistake is still valid.
Of course, the so-called authority must be recognized by Su Xiaofan, such as the National Cultural Relics Appraisal Center.
Otherwise, there are so many "experts" now, and anyone who gives an appraisal result, Su Xiaofan is afraid that he will have to pay for it.
It costs money to go to the National Cultural Relics Appraisal Center to appraise objects. As for whether these people go or not, it is none of Su Xiaofan's business.
It’s New Year’s Eve, and it’s also the last day of January. Wishing everyone an early New Year!
Cough, what, there are still more than a hundred monthly tickets to one thousand, brothers, make up a whole number!
