unannounced visits to people: a knock
identity of Chapter: 20 years old engaged in counterfeiting unannounced visits to artisan
Location: Metropolis
Jingdezhen City in the name of the name of the purchase of high melamine, the reporter saw the fake industry in Jingdezhen veteran character called: Chapter One knock. into his new capital in the home, the reporter could not help but secretly surprised: a three-storey cottage in the small Western-style in the very visible around the yard filled with a variety of dynasties, different-type of porcelain, after several rain, all of them were washed away Zeng new watt light.
layer of porcelain is fired building workshop, in addition to the indoor part of the yard has also put up a nearly 100 square meters of temporary housing. corner of the house dozens of bags piled fired porcelain clay, struck chapter is weighing a variety of ingredients with known weight. In addition a half filled with a different device type, not yet fired porcelain bodies, and some have been painted on the pattern, waiting for the glaze. the middle with the placement of the porcelain gas kiln, this kiln was improved in recent years, from the use of coal into a gas, the use of this technology is said to greatly improved quality of air in Jingdezhen. kilns where the fire is fierce, a group of Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty custom pen is in the firing. corner of the room playing the enamel has been endlessly turning machine to produce the roar of voices.
second floor is the family's living space. the living room wall, wooden lattice in place of the dozens of pieces of porcelain, Zhang stressed that struck most of the real thing which is his decades of doing this collection.
third floor is a high melamine painting room, painting all the porcelain bodies work done here. in noisy pop music, five young people are skilled sketch, paint, put in different years for the porcelain coat. a young man is drawn Emperor Yongzheng of the pen, he said he came to this work 3 years, and be skilled. For him, landscape painting easier, one and a half hours to get one, because of the need to be vivid portraits, so relatively more difficult to draw, almost two hours. wages on piece rates , he will get about 3000 a month.
talking about his high melamine, Zhang self-confidence a knock from the eyes, mouth and every action to show it without modification.
what period the porcelain? Kiln few knowledgeable people know a little is that this is false. a long history of the Qing Dynasty, porcelain is the peak production, so the quantity is relatively large. While living in the Qing Imperial civil society is not much, but many people have left to chance , thinking that they can Jianlou, so easy to shot.
not afraid of testing equipment. , and raw materials to the old crater taken from the ancient times. Like a magnet is used to make porcelain Empress of Anhui Keemun pit is dug during the Empress Dowager Cixi; kaolin is bought from a nearby old village, and a hundred more dollars a bag, the local government not to sell, to take advantage of the evening the villagers digging, loading, my family kept a few hundred pounds, and then these components are the same. glazes is the most expensive to buy, a pound 3600 dollars would glaze, hair color and absolute good.
Therefore, the bubble will appear on the porcelain. Now porcelain general use of natural gas, temperature uniformity, but I can adjust the amount of gas to control the kiln temperature, turn it a few minutes, and then amplified a few minutes, you want a big or small bubbles bubbles all of a sudden you can burn out. function pass? market is absolutely no problem. before it, we are the film printed on porcelain painting, can be virtually on the wooden screen, the lines are not smooth. Now a master of how to paint? an old stuff put aside, and do not have to porcelain Figure out down, but the style is fully digested, such as the Kangxi Period of people are big stomach, her face is deformed, I would take the paintings out of style, location, probably put a bit on it, very casual. struck said.
commonly known as the the key link.
imitation of the Qing Emperor Qianlong could have been something, bubble a bit longer, a test that is what has become the Ming Dynasty, a short time into a dynasty of another, this is a headache. Now that medicine has become obsolete, most recently a professor at the University of Nanjing very good with the medicine I use, just like the old treated the same as the glazed. generally to Paoshang day and night, even if it will not be too long, very smooth. But the old way to do each is different, I heard other people also useful for cooking Chinese or black tea, which are confidential friends!
the other holding a sample to custom, and then butcher who l r (second-hand dealer) and then take it when the old sales. , the initial dealer hands, things are true, they would go to hotels to find the buyer talk, if the buyer is 20 million to 50 million they will have to try to widen the difference of both sides, the time delay in the negotiations. played both sides tug of war of the neutral gear, the dealer will find someone to imitate exactly the same as a fake. and then give buyers call, if the other party a little bit of that 26 million raised, they will lose money selling that need to spend 28 minutes if not less. In fact, this is a high imitation goods, also the value of thousands of dollars.
some experience. to do a very good outside, do not pay attention to detail. to pack ring. I do after the drill hit the jar empty, the thought that doing perfect, the results met a local expert. a look at where the man to get started are right, but later said it saw the hole piece is a fake. I certainly not convinced, so he took out credentials. He said, l is the ancient hand-drill holes, and could see the threads, you use the drill speed quickly without leaving traces. r said I was convinced, and later became good friends with him. grade 4, 30 years old forced to start living a fake porcelain business, in order to learn to do ceramics, he bought a junior high school chemistry textbooks, chemistry periodic table shoved back, at age 35, began painting on porcelain. his name also related to fraud. a lot of porcelain because of long years by the external collision, will have a small wall, learned the chapter struck a pebble in the porcelain is a knock, will be able to win their appearance is not broken, the inner wall has numerous small chicken pattern of the state. Therefore, people often ask him to help knock on porcelain, tap 50, knocks of 100 per hh
Zhang said he is currently doing a knock on imitation goods still belong to middle and low, the price between a few hundred to several thousand, the annual income of about 20 million. He admits that he quickly outdated, Jingdezhen really all-powerful is these young people, their technology with each passing day, the market is very competitive.

Yu Xiufeng is such a young rookie, made with high imitation pastels kiln, this year just 33 years old, he already has 3 million of assets . The small and thin, high forehead, the eyes of young people concave inadvertently reveal the shrewd and ambitious. His family rarely seen elements of life, more like a large ceramics workshop, underground kilns, pug room, a number of a drawing room, there are dazzling showroom.
know that reporters had come after Yu Xiufeng apart from anything else, take a certain auction company's auction catalog placed in front of reporters, turn one page: the top India is a Qing dynasty, painted green round bottle, Kowloon, the auction price of 130 million. journalists recorded in the Figure, when Yu Xiufeng to exactly the same as a bottle into the front of the circle, do. This is just new to do, not dealt with as soon as the old do absolutely no problem. Imitation? I have it, the original is 300 pieces (pieces that measure the size of small units of porcelain), imitation goods is 500, I do certainly know just by looking at things. I was bought spent 12 million, imitation can be sold for at least a pair of new twenty thousand, after a certain number do enough to add some money to a little r l hen also sell and buy new varieties, then imitation. We The purpose is to make money.
these so-called also serves as a guest of the ashtray. but one thing is certain, he did make a high imitation goods openly embarked on the auction table, and successfully sold.
pass, however, wanted to auction the company's signing means bribe members of a commitment to the auction and he earned money into, and the money than he paid thousands of dollars many times higher, so is likely to buy. Of course, in addition to buy a certain relationship to the film imitate the technology must have some attractions, Yu Xiufeng's unique skills is: tell your pick. porcelain identification of the authenticity of the bottom of the inscription is an important element of the new Yu Xiufeng cut down to do a piece of porcelain bottom, and then embedded in a kiln site of the dilapidated from the bottom of Authenticity inscribed, so that greatly increased the credibility of fakes.
fact, then tell your new porcelain is not a new invention, the general porcelain kiln The imitator can do that. But to be difficult to match exactly in respect of genuine porcelain bonding is not an easy thing to do, do go astray can be seen by the naked eye. Yuxiu Feng said proudly, then at the end of his very high precision tools, a value of millions of devices, technology is also very skilled workers. do not come out perfect. the innermost corner, the reporter saw a bunch of pieces scattered across the disk. most of them are at the bottom of porcelain, there are various dynasties of the inscription, which the Qing Emperor Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong three generations of the majority. Yuxiu Feng said that these are Jingdezhen kiln factory site in the tiles, there are hand dug and sold to him.
kiln factory specifically for the Ming and Qing dynasties porcelain palace production sector, in order to ensure the palace into the porcelain is fine, Whenever a baked porcelain kiln, where there are defective will be crack away. so far in the kiln, the remains buried there are a large number of tiles. According to the the original is located in Jingdezhen City, the site was excavated, the government moved to new capital, while the imperial kiln plant is also protected. when the site was under order to tap the tiles around to deliberately rented a kiln factory Some stores do not open the door to do business during the day and at night hit the ground floor tiles authentic stolen.
addition to porcelain itself, Yu Xiufeng will make an issue of the packaging. tens of thousands of pieces, which I value is not porcelain, but the installation of porcelain box. to the old box, as long as the film, at least he could take more than a million. because of the old packaging, l r were exposed to high, and buyers are likely to be kept off the. 17-year-old to follow the master of young people running Shanghai to buy fake goods, and now business is flourishing. Yuxiu Feng told reporters, in order to craft sophisticated, he often read and study opponents of workers under the very strict requirements, as long as there are fakes found not a trace of his thorough investigation must be reasons, and immediately ordered the workers to correct.
reporters to see the goods in time, and buyers come in two to Beijing to see them hundreds of times, you can determine here is the old customers. Yu Xiufeng told reporters that his main flow of goods in Beijing, and his brother opened in Beijing Curio City, a store, specializing in high-end fakes him.

Location: Shenghua company
industry in Jingdezhen in circulating a fake ranking, can enter the List of all master of all aspects of fraud, although many people claim to be the top few players, but nobody dared to seat the first seat, because everyone knows only belong to one person: Sheng Rongguang. < br> heard a lot about Sheng Rongguang before, but his contact was an accident.
car driving on the road to Jingdezhen, the reporter received a phone call, is recognized by the antique dealer friend calling LEE Wing-fat , the phone said he was from Shanghai back to Jingdezhen, the evening will bring some good things to reporters at his hotel.
7 pm, in the open in sub-Jingdezhen Hotel Metropole, LEE Wing-hair time by ringing the doorbell . just this Heishou young voices are hoarse, round eyes glanced around from time to time.
and Mr LEE Wing was also sent to a person with his forties, wearing a red down jacket, body extra baggage, his face braved the shiny, silver-rimmed glasses can be seen through one of his eyes is not freely rotating, slanting forehead, a scar on the left, had marked thinning of the hair gel to a handful after handful stood up. He told SHENG Rong Cheung, is the by one light out: a pair of Paradise Pastel bottle, a bottle and two Kangxi Qing Emperor Qianlong and Red flower pot. Dasheng mouth and said, imitations of these high similarity with the real thing in more than 90% No one else can come in Jingdezhen. And this is the only world there is no second. . take you to the factory yard to see my brother, his stuff is the best. br> LEE Wing-fat later told reporters earlier in the Sheng home is high melamine industry in Jingdezhen, the early 80s, first made a reputation for great Sheng, and later a small Sheng also joined the ranks, the two brothers was not to compete between each other, Finally, in order to maintain brotherhood Dasheng voluntarily gave up his own production, the factory also gave the best ingredients chef brother. Dasheng now mainly in sales, to help my brother describes customers, but also for other high-like plant business. < br> The next day half past three p.m., large white blooms with a silver Hyundai with a reporter off. After about twenty minutes, the car stopped at a busy city. Tai Shing said, something his brother is busy, so We went to see his ceramics museum. the museum about 500 square meters, two storeys, the main reservoir of porcelain Yuan Ming and Qing dynasties, it is a good time in April, but the museum does not have any tourists, only one reception staff at the door. reporter guessed circle found more than a hundred pieces of porcelain furnishings, in addition to the few genuine Republican, the other porcelain reproductions are marked.
Since the name of the museum's signature , how to display the full imitation goods? legitimate journalists understand, the big smile Sheng introduce them, filmed, took 8.8 million, was a connoisseur Dingdingyouming eye passed over. And this bottle of nine peach, filmed in several auction companies, developed the original light to the first three years, spent a more than a million yet. Which you took a fancy to one that will talk to my brother. A finished, then if necessary can also be used behind the scenes deal.
then taken to a small big Sheng Sheng to a company news. After a railway train, the car drove to a remote suburb of the alley, car , the front has two four-story office building with large sign above the set, are the brother, sister and large nephew, talking, he looked at his old modern, there was some imbalance in tone.
small Sheng does not appear, the staff of a company received us, he said, Sheng is working with the Beijing Great Hall of the total people who talk about things, get away. The so-called reception room is actually a fake porcelain showroom stocked with all kinds around the room-type of porcelain, decorated very elegant.
After about half an hour, not to small-Shing, Tai Shing some sit still. I called him out, came back and told reporters that small-Shing may not have time today, you can come another day.
Dasheng drove away with regret, in the car, he told reporters, small Sheng no reason why the identity of a Mo Buzhun to. who lack confidence, he will not rush each other. and he did not See what the Great Hall of the people, the whole afternoon together, and a local leader.
population of more than 50 million, of which more than half of the population are directly or indirectly participate into the production and sale of porcelain, except in the porcelain industry, there are transportation, business and other related supporting industries. these forms to the survival of porcelain workshops Studio, production and other small folk-based Research. long projections said.
data from the private sector is far higher than official estimates, according to Xiang-years in the business estimate Porcelain, home workshops are 20,30. access streets, the public selling low-grade imitations Yuan Ming and Qing dynasties porcelain spread the row upon row of shops, there are pitfalls everywhere, everywhere Cang Yi, it is difficult to see a few decent shops in the art of porcelain, the feeling and the exposure to Beijing's Panjiayuan, Nanjing The Confucius Temple is almost the same. For a huge number of counterfeit industry, the local government seems more willing to be interpreted as dullest, especially porcelain Kangxi three generations, from the device type, child porcelain, pictures and other point of view has been fully restored. one hundred is difficult to have a successful, there must be sacrifice. Porcelain infinitely close, but in the end not the same, generally hidden from the eyes of the experts.
collector's home, which flourishes in the rich entrepreneurs often weaving the dream that they can buy a treasure Jianlou. what the market wants to spend millions to buy hundreds of thousands, tens of millions or billions of also want to spend hundreds of thousands of things to buy. Palace are rare in the baby, there are many pieces of your own home, is it possible? is completely self-deception, intention is not right.
There is also a way to directly send the auction. no after-effects on the film thing, because the auction law that is not declared on the auction in advance of the auction fidelity Disclaimer. Hanhai auction company two years ago because of Wu's imitation goods auction to court, although I found Wu is fake, but the buyer still loses . which is a big meat in the integrity of the auction house is not reliable, not to mention those little, sometimes a down 60%, 70% are false. out of the more experts. If these two aspects of most problems, then the expert's always responded with disdain. Zhang said he had seen a knock on so many television programs Kam Po, the conclusion is: the experts shit. l This is the jar say something earth r, that is, in fact, out of Jingdezhen. Some experts also see the porcelain smooth lines on the screen identified as the real thing, this is too funny it! the workshop with us, the teacher a day to draw dozens of apprentices, small pupil was tired of painting to a painting on the essays, experts say strokes flowing down the screen at random, determine the style of the Yuan Dynasty. Although we are not an expert, but stronger than they look much more attractive! Empress tape and its own imitations. Results Experts say the new is old, as against the old and the new. fast, they do not read have no idea. see the high imitation porcelain kiln, he would also be high as a genuine melamine.
Gao'an Museum Jin-Sheng Liu, said: writing is really very beautiful, really look at things from the dealer but not as good as reselling heritage, but that these people are still in the identification of cultural relics and even signed, open the certificate, the terms of disrupting the relics, and also lost a real need to protect the national heritage cultural sector have to say is sad. % of the artifacts need to improve the identification of the level of experts. a chaotic situation, deliberately 忽悠. materials, etc., are cultural workers should have the basic common sense. In view of these experts can lay hundreds of years, the gains a thousand years of history are in fact some of the basic elements, these words set to the real thing is so, is also set to leave such things are patterned. really distinguish between true and false relics, the truth in any place where fake is carefully distinguished. such as the Ming Dynasty glaze, is the real Ming glaze, or imitation, except where they may Shuibu Lai had. 忽悠 countries and people.
addition to practical skills is not enough, the lack of morality is one. The. some antique dealers selling porcelain and even when the collusion of experts in advance that good forty-six points, or five five (profit), to sell counterfeit entrepreneurs. I met a lot of this situation a few years later, These entrepreneurs wake up, but can not pick up the legal weapons to protect themselves. Sadly, there are still many people still come to their senses. team of experts, then a few years later, we leave to future generations will be a bunch of high imitation artifacts. he said with emotion: and the number reached about 5% of collections.
in earlier hit series was told it was false from the circle of the first master the production of imitation goods mm Zhu imitation, which makes all the surprise of experts, the museum curator is Xiufen harder and harder, eventually diving himself. It now appears that Compared with the real story is not an exaggeration, but very little in life as to buy a fake and who committed suicide jumping into a river, but by all means, hands, sold under the house.
; tomorrow where
in Jingdezhen, the first generation of reform and opening up have entered a fraud in his later years Congress, and now have behind them the next generation successors. chapter struck told reporters that his daughter son has run from his own workshop, his son also plan to do this trip. In the kiln shop, chapter by patiently taught his son how to knock to see the kiln's heat, and whenever a customer comes, behind his son would follow in his father how the wind blows, learn business sense. According to a press view of the investigation, business fraud in Jingdezhen, this inherited his father is widespread. easy to understand why: For children, the long-term osmosis, into such a role is easy; and parents do , as long as the child is willing to learn, they will give everything, and selfless dedication. deeper reason: the immutable law of the market, Jingdezhen porcelain-workers also need to update the state of existence, two generations of the cultural role of the natural extension was easily able to . In the copy counterfeit copy generations ago, while easy life of abundance, survival is so simple, the number of kiln workers who will hope for themselves or to learn the rich Xiabei five cars, painstaking effort to be a maverick, penniless, br> However, some ways, this selling fake goods in the
