With this archaeological identification system, Zhou Xia wanted to try to test it. Don’t be nervous about it, it’s better to imagine it.

The broken Ming Hongwu underglaze red lotus pattern bowl in front of me is the best test subject. Zhou Xia focused his attention on the broken porcelain pieces, and the cold sound of the system sounded in his mind, "This item was created in 1995 AD."

Zhou Xia was shocked, "Don't you say this is the underglaze red from the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty? Should it be fired from 1368 to 1398 AD?"

The system disdained to respond to him.

Zhou Xia thought about this possibility. If the system did not have an appraisal error, then this piece of porcelain would be a high-quality imitation, which made the appraisers of the auction house slapped the eye.

According to Zhou Xia, who has rich theoretical knowledge, Hongwu underglaze red was unearthed in Jingdezhen in the 1990s, and a batch of high-quality imitations were indeed produced, but the number was not large, and most of them were overseas.

He vaguely remembered that Liu Yuqing mentioned that the porcelain was flowing back from overseas.

Eight out of ten.99 This is the case!

Zhou Xia made a conclusion in his heart.

If this porcelain is really a high-quality imitation, he would not have to bear such a big responsibility.

At this moment, Zhou Xia carefully looked at the fragments of this large underglaze red bowl, and at the same time combined with the knowledge he learned about the identification of Hongwu underglaze red, he made an in-depth analysis and summary.

I have to say that afterwards, Zhuge Liang's work is relatively easy, and it is much easier to deduce the reasons from the results than to see the essence through phenomena.

Zhou Xia quickly found several proofs that this was a high-quality imitation.

First of all, there are almost no bubbles in the cracked body. The real Hongwu underglaze red, due to the limitations of the original conditions, the bubbles in the body are inevitable. The advancement of modern technology can be made with machinery, and there are many bubbles in the body of porcelain and even no bubbles. However, it is impossible to break the porcelain for identification during normal identification, so it is not surprising that experts are confused.

Secondly, after so many years of precipitation, Hongwu underglaze red, whether it is newly unearthed or circulated in an orderly manner, has its own unique flavor in terms of charm and temperament. This porcelain does have some lack of foundation and is not old enough, which is the so-called new fire, which cannot be changed in just 10 or 20 years.

Of course, it can also be used to make old things through various means. However, almost all the make old things can only flow to the surface and cannot change the true age of porcelain, especially the inside of porcelain, which is almost impossible to make fakes.

For example, this large bowl of underglaze red lingered lotus pattern, whether it is hair color, shape, design, style, or pattern characteristics, is almost the same as the underglaze red of the Ming Hongwu, but the unglazed body part inside can easily reveal its true face.

You should know that there are quite a lot of specimens of ancient porcelain pieces, and everyone has a considerable appreciation. It is definitely not something that can be easily deceived by imitations now.

The most important point is that this piece of porcelain can be sent to a testing agency for age testing, and its true appearance can be detected by high-tech means.

As for other details, Zhou Xia really couldn't find any fault. After all, those who made this high-quality imitation in the 1990s were the top experts. At that time, some genuine Hongwu underglaze red were just unearthed. The master who made this large bowl of underglaze red must have personally learned about the authentic Ming Hongwu underglaze red, and carefully studied the various characteristics of Hongwu underglaze red, so there would be no obvious omissions.

Zhou Xia was suddenly a little annoyed. Why didn't he expect this porcelain to be a high-quality imitation? Perhaps influenced by the appraiser of the auction company, Huang Zhendong is the most authoritative existence in the company. Even Liu Yuqing, who came from a family of antiques and cultural relics, often asks him for advice, let alone a little shrimp who has just entered the industry.

This also shows that "it is better to have no books than to believe in books." Zhou Xia concluded.

As a result, Zhou Xia felt much more relaxed.

He planned to tell his immediate boss Liu Yuqing as soon as possible. If such an accident occurs, her manager will also be responsible. But if the Hongwu underglaze red is a high-quality imitation, the situation will be very different.

As soon as Zhou Xia took a step, he saw the company's general manager Liu Suifeng. He entered the company like lightning, and then headed straight to Liu Yuqing's office. The company's employees greeted him and ignored him.

"Someone must have reported him." Zhou Xia secretly guessed that he would inevitably have a fight when he entered, and the cause was naturally that he broke the Hongwu underglaze Red.

Of course, it is also possible that Liu Yuqing informed him, but that would definitely not seem so excited.

Wang Chao, a colleague with Zhou Xia, saw that he was no longer in a daze and quietly pulled him over and said, "I guess it was Zhang Jie who called Liu Suifeng. He always liked to do this. But this matter is too big and he can't hide it even if he wants to hide it. Sooner or later he will know it."

Zhou Xia nodded, "It's okay, let him go. Anyway, I don't have to worry about the debt now, and I'm not afraid that the company will fire me."

"How could you fire you easily? It would be strange if you don't squeeze your surplus value out." Wang Chao didn't say this, he could only sympathize with him, and he couldn't say anything comforting to him. In this case, Zhou Xia had no money or death, and there was no good way for the company to take him. But the company still had to be responsible for compensation to the customers, otherwise the company's reputation would be affected. This was an estimated price of five million, and it was reasonable for the general manager Liu Suifeng to be furious.

Zhou Xia was wondering whether to go in now and tell Liu Yuqing that the Hongwu underglaze red is a high-quality imitation product, at least she should not put too much pressure on her in front of Liu Suifeng.

After thinking about it, he decided to tell them early so as not to have unnecessary conflicts between them. After all, five million is a big burden for the company.

Outside Liu Yuqing's office, Zhou Xia heard the two people quarreling fiercely. Liu Suifeng's voice was very loud. "The company's capital turnover is not effective at all. If you want to compensate for 5 million, will the company still operate normally? Anyway, I don't agree to the company's compensation, and you have to bear all the responsibility for this matter."

Zhou Xia knocked on the door lightly, and the office suddenly became quiet. Liu Yuqing asked, "Who is it!"

"I, Zhou Xia."

Liu Suifeng sneered, "Let him come in, I want to see what extraordinary things he has, which is worth protecting him like this, and also to gain the future of the company."

Liu Yuqing glanced at him, not wanting to have a meaningless verbal dispute with him, so she just greeted him loudly and said, "Come in!"

Zhou Xia then pushed the door open and Liu Suifeng looked at him coldly and mocked, "Zhou Xia, you are amazing. Use the fate of the company to do good deeds."

"Is it wrong for him to save people?" Liu Yuqing asked him with her eyebrows.

"It's right to save people, but you have to consider your own abilities and don't do anything overestimating your ability. I just want to ask now, how do you plan to compensate for these five million? Anyway, I firmly disagree that the company will bear it. Yuqing, you can't even think of giving up a penny from the company's account." Liu Suifeng was obviously not yet at the point of being completely hopeless in ruining human nature, but his attitude was also quite firm and reiterated again.

"What should I do if I don't leave the company's account? Can the company's reputation be destroyed? If there is no compensation, will there be customers who dare to send the collections in our company for auction in the future?" Liu Yuqing and the others were very clear about Zhou Xia's economic situation. It was obviously unrealistic to expect him to compensate the entire amount, and the company cannot blame him completely for this matter. The company also has some responsibilities.

"This is not a question I should consider. From the company's standpoint, there is absolutely no reason to refuse such unnecessary expenses. If you are willing to pay private money for compensation, it's best. Five million is not a big deal for you! This can also preserve the reputation of the company, which is the best of both worlds." Liu Suifeng kindly reminded her.

Seeing that he was still going around, Liu Yuqing knew that there was no result in arguing. She didn't want to argue with him in front of her subordinates, and instead asked Zhou Xia, "What's the matter with me?"

After listening to Liu Suifeng's words, Zhou Xia understood what he meant and asked Liu Yuqing to be responsible for the compensation for the Hongwu underglaze red. He didn't talk much nonsense and went straight to the point, saying, "The Hongwu underglaze red lingered lotus pattern big bowl that I broke just now is not a genuine product, but a high-quality imitation."

"You're not mistaken? Did Master Xu have a look?" Liu Suifeng was surprised at first, and then he turned his suspicious eyes on Zhou Xia. He looked ordinary. Although he graduated from the Department of Archaeology of Donghai University, now college students are walking around the ground. An undergraduate graduate is nothing at all. In terms of the level of identification, Zhou Xia is still far from it.

Liu Yuqing was overjoyed and said happily, "I have also identified this porcelain. If it is really a high-quality imitation, it is worth it."

"Don't be too happy too early. Seeing is true. Only by confirming it personally can you see the truth." Liu Suifeng glanced at Zhou Xia and found that he looked very calm, not like he was in a hurry to seek medical treatment, nor did he look particularly excited or otherwise. He was very calm, maybe it was true.

"Let's go and have a look. I didn't expect this to be a high-quality imitation. How did you find it? Zhou Xia?" Liu Yuqing was not a person who was desperate for the sake of face. This time she would rather have a look at her own, otherwise, paying the five million would make her breathless.

Zhou Xia replied as she walked, "I firmly believe in the judgment of Master Xu and Manager Liu. At first I didn't expect it to be a high-quality imitation. I was just thinking about the huge debt of five million yuan. I felt uncomfortable carrying it on my back and always wanted to figure it out. I never thought about finding some flaws. I was thinking about whether to send it for chronological testing!"

Liu Yuqing nodded and said, "What I should have thought of is that I had believed too much in my judgment before, and things happened too suddenly, so I didn't have time to do a careful inspection. In fact, it is best to identify the porcelain after it was broken. Even if it is a high-quality imitation product, it cannot fully simulate the scene at that time and fire the same porcelain."

Liu Suifeng was cold and didn't say anything. His appraisal level was not bad. If Zhou Xia lied to evade responsibility, he would definitely not be able to hide it from him. If the company had to explain to its customers, it would be a high-quality imitation product, and there must be conclusive evidence. Otherwise, who would dare to send the thing to the company for auction in the future and say it was a imitation product if it was broken. Who would believe it?

After seeing the porcelain that was broken into pieces, Liu Suifeng and Liu Yuqing picked up the pieces and started to identify them. For experts like them, the identification of porcelain after being broken is much easier than that of complete porcelain, because the body of the porcelain after being broken is exposed outside. Through some ancient porcelain fragments, you can clearly understand the characteristics of porcelain from each era, which is exactly the most difficult to imitate.

Zhou Xia had a clear mind, so he naturally didn't have to panic at this time, not to mention that his emotions were insignificant.

After looking carefully, Liu Yuqing shook her head and sighed, "The quality of this imitation is indeed high, almost to the point of being fake and real. If it weren't for being broken, it would be really not easy to identify."

"You guy is lucky!" After Liu Suifeng finished the identification, he glanced at Zhou Xia.

"Maybe!" Zhou Xia did not answer him, but said silently in his heart, otherwise he would not have had an archaeological identification system that should have come from the future.

"But don't be too happy too early. Even high-quality imitations have good value. Especially for this imitation that is completely in ancient times and is fired in a wood kiln, the cost is no less than hundreds of thousands, and it is not easy for customers to pass it over." Liu Suifeng changed his tone and said coldly.

Liu Yuqing's mood was obviously much better, "You don't have to worry about this, I will negotiate with him on the customer's side."

"I still have the same old saying. Anyway, I will not sign and agree to use the company's funds to compensate customers. You can do it yourself!" After Liu Suifeng threw out this sentence, he walked out.

Liu Yuqing didn't want to bother him. This high-quality imitation product was worth 500,000 yuan. Even if she didn't leave the company's account, she could still take out the money. She didn't plan to pay it with the company's account. It wouldn't be nice to be disturbed by Liu Suifeng to the elders. Just use private money to solve the problem.

"By the way, I would like to remind you that this piece of porcelain was the finale of our auction, but now we can't participate in the auction. Yuqing, you have to find another valuable collection to replace it, otherwise, this auction will be much inferior. The current auction market is not very prosperous, and we don't have much time left for us. You can start to act now." Liu Suifeng, who had already left the door, turned around and added a few words.
