Chapter 16 Let’s just say, sometimes you shouldn’t trust me so much
After listening to Gu Shengsheng's words, Qin Ye breathed a sigh of relief. He had originally wanted to buy it at a high price, but now, he suddenly felt that it was not worth it. How much money could he make from a meteorite?
Aren't those meteor showers visible quite often?
In fact, what Gu Shengsheng didn't say was that this was a rare olivine meteorite. If it was sold to a scientific research institution or a university research institute, its value could be fully utilized, and it might even be worth around US$500 per gram.
In short, meteorites of this size should be rare in this era, so it is definitely profitable.
The old farmer looked at Qin Ye and said, "Young man, I'll sell this to you! You just said you'd give me five thousand."
Qin Yi threw it over with disdain: "No, no. I'm an appraiser of treasures. Meteorites are just broken stones!"
"No one will collect it!" The collectors my grandfather knows probably won't buy it.
Gu Shengsheng looked at the old farmer who was about to ask her something, and she said directly: "If you have the chance, you might as well take it directly to the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing to sell it."
"There are people over there who know the value of it. Their professors use it for research and write papers. It will definitely fetch a good price."
After Gu Shengsheng said this, Qin Ye looked down on her even more.
"Those scholars are very stingy with their money. They probably bought this kind of experimental specimen for less than a thousand yuan."
Gu Shengsheng didn't say anything. He didn't know the material, didn't know the specific differences in the composition of the stone. It was normal for him to say that. After all, he was stupid.
But she had no obligation to give advice.
Just smiled and decided on others.
The old farmer seemed to be still hesitating, so he took the things and left.
Gu Shengsheng said, "If we take this meteorite to the Chinese Academy of Sciences for identification, we'll know what's going on. Or do you think it needs to be verified first?"
Qin Yi said, "It was originally a meteorite. Do you think I don't know?"
"You're awesome this time, let's see what happens next."
Then Qin Ye ran outside like a madman.
The merchants around were watching the excitement: "Looks like he's going to get his grandfather's things."
Gu Shengsheng: “…”
These people didn't find it strange at all. It seemed that this was not the first time Qin Yao had gone crazy like this.
But only ten minutes had passed, and now not only Qin Ye had arrived, but Qin Guocheng had also arrived.
Gu Shengsheng: “…”
"I heard my grandson is looking for something for you to identify, right? I came to join in the fun, and I also found a few old guys to come over and see what these are."
Qin Guocheng has a lot of things in his collection that he doesn't even know what they are; he just bought them because they looked nice. Over the years, they've become a mess.
I picked one and took it out.
Gu Shengsheng looked at the black cloth wrapped around the huge thing and felt a little nervous.
Her system can only identify jade and jadeite, and knows nothing else. Now the system is like dead.
Gu Shengsheng can only rely on her own knowledge. She knows that she cannot know everything on her own.
It's also normal to encounter something you don't recognize. Although he was unsure inside, he appeared calm and composed, like an old dog.
Netizens in the live broadcast room watched her identify the meteorite.
Now confidence is simply shining.
"Our anchor is awesome. We'll make sure you all get into trouble. What the hell do you know?"
"Meteorite, I don't think anyone in the treasure appraisal world has ever identified it. No one else knows anything about it. Our anchor, a young genius, suddenly appeared out of nowhere and killed people."
"Qin Ye, you wait for your death!"
“…”
Gu Shengsheng looked at all this and just felt helpless.
She was nervous herself.
It would be fine if I could identify them randomly by myself, but now, every one of them is a surprise.
Netizens are like this, they don’t have high expectations when they should have. Now there is no need for them to show off their expectations, each and every one of them is simply amazing!
"I'll do my best."
She said something.
Qin Ye pulled open the black cloth, revealing a doll with white porcelain makeup inside.
Lying there with her cute little belly showing, it looks like it was made with great care.
Gu Shengsheng took it and looked at it carefully.
To be honest, she really didn't know what this thing was. It was porcelain, but it was not for viewing.
Moreover, the little doll was lying there. Most people would not make such a thing and leave it there.
When she placed her hand on the middle of the little porcelain doll, she felt as if there was a slight curve.
I have made a rough judgment in my heart.
Qin Guocheng knew that this little girl was capable.
He said directly, "Miss Gu, I haven't seen anything similar since I bought this thing. I've searched through ancient books and found no record of this kind of artifact. So, I guess it's a modern fake."
"But I was unwilling to give up, so I kept it."
What Qin Guocheng said proves that everyone agrees that it is a fake. So what if the workmanship is fine?
There are so many counterfeits nowadays, and some are even more technologically advanced than the originals. I can't find such a thing, which can only be attributed to the current merchants being too powerful.
And there are examples of such people.
Gu Shengsheng nodded. "I remember Panjiayuan in Beijing. A few years ago, they acquired some very famous Wei and Jin Dynasty ladies. Many experts confirmed that they were authentic, and a batch of Wei and Jin Dynasty clay sculptures of ladies appeared."
Speaking of which, I still can't help laughing.
Just like Putian, they are professionals in counterfeiting!
Qin Guocheng also laughed: "So, what do you think this thing is, Miss Gu?"
"In my opinion, this isn't something that's unheard of. Of course, I don't know much about it, so I'm just sharing my humble opinion."
She reached out and touched it. "This one is obviously from the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, judging by the workmanship, the patterns, and the shape. As for this porcelain doll, I think it's a pillow."
After saying this, not only did the people around him burst out laughing, but even the people in Gu Shengsheng's live studio said that the anchor must have seen it wrong.
"It's just a little porcelain figurine of a doll. How could it be a pillow?"
"Host, we know that the jade, porcelain, and buckwheat pillows of ancient times were at least square."
"How could anyone be so weird as to sleep with a little baby?"
Gu Shengsheng said: "This is the key."
"I'm sure everyone has watched a lot of palace dramas, where the imperial concubines and other characters compete for favor by using the prince as their only means of gaining the emperor's favor."
"If you want to give birth to a prince, sleeping with your back to a pillow is essential. This will bring good luck to them."
"As for why I think it's a pillow, you can look at the curvature of the child's body; there's about a 2cm gap between the two. Ancient pillows from the Jiajing period looked like this. And it's intricately crafted, as were imperial court items from that period. The one I remember most vividly is a Pixiu figurine, which bears the greatest resemblance to this one."
"It should be in the Ruishi Museum now. You can take it in for appraisal."
After Gu Shengsheng said this, the old guys discussed it.
