In 2009, in the era of the popularity of treasure appreciation programs, many people were willing to send their ancestral treasures, or treasures obtained by chance, to "treasure appreciation", so that experts could identify the authenticity and give the price.
This seems to have become a fashion, but is the authenticity and price of treasures really like what the treasure connoisseurs say on the TV show?
No, Liu Yan, a treasure connoisseur expert on the "Gate of Huayu" program, deceived the treasure connoisseur's Qianlong authentic works for his own personal gain.
even coaxed 170,000 to buy the treasure of the treasure connoisseur, and then sold it for 87 million!
This kind of behavior is infuriating, so what happened to Liu Yan, a treasure connoisseur, after this incident? Did Zhu Yun, a treasure connoisseur, get compensation?
Due to the rules of the platform, you will only be recognized as a fan if you have more interaction with me. If you like my articles, you can click "Follow" and receive the article push as soon as you become a fan.
Zhu Yun went to appraise the treasure
More than 10 years ago, the treasure connoisseur program was a smash hit, and many people stayed in front of the TV to watch the treasure connoisseur leader analyze the "treasures" brought by the treasure connoisseurs.
Some of these treasures have been passed down from family to generation, some have been collected at high prices from the antique market, and some have been obtained from the wild by chance.
In short, no matter what the source is, the experts can give them an answer.
The experts on TV have a high level of credibility in their own right, and with the popularity of the show, they also make a name for themselves.
As soon as you hear it, you are more professional than the treasure experts you can find in antique shops, and it also reduces the risk of being scammed.
But it is in such a thriving treasure appreciation program that there are cases of experts using the information gap to deceive treasure connoisseurs, and then making a high profit from it.
In 2009, there was a treasure appreciation program on Henan Satellite TV that was very popular with the audience.
Liu Yan, an expert inside, is even more famous for his profound knowledge, and can quickly grasp the authenticity of treasures, and can also analyze the details of the way.
Before the treasure connoisseur Zhu Yun heard about this show and went with his own treasures, Liu Yan had also identified treasures for many people, which also made Zhu Yun have high expectations for the show.
Zhu Yun has a family heirloom handed down from his ancestors, which is said to have been painted by Emperor Qianlong, which has a very antique charm and is called "Songyang Han Baitu".
Although it is Zhu Yun's family heirloom, Zhu Yun and his family are not very clear whether this painting is real or fake.
If it's true, I don't know how much it can be sold, so I just took this opportunity to take it to the TV station for experts to take a good look at.
Soon, Liu Yan also gave a "professional judgment", after he briefly looked at the painting, he hid the turbulence in his heart, and told Zhu Yun a regrettable news without changing his face and heartbeat - this "Songyang Han Baitu" is fake.
Although Liu Yan was very sure that this painting was Qianlong's original handiwork, he marked Xiao Jiujiu in his heart after seeing the value.
just told Zhu Yun that this painting was painted by someone imitating Qianlong, although the painting is also very good, but it is not Qianlong's original work, and it can't be sold at a high price.
But in the show, Liu Yan said very vaguely, and hinted that Zhu Yun came to him with a painting after getting off the show, he had something to explain, and after listening to this, since he came, Zhu Yun agreed.
Who knows, what happened later made Zhu Yun regret it for the rest of his life...... And what deal did they struck?
Conspiracy and deception
In the conversation after the show, Liu Yan told Zhu Yun that although the painting is not real, it can only be sold for 30,000 yuan at most.
But I happen to know a collector friend who is willing to pay a high price for this painting, and can give 170,000 yuan.
Originally, the heirloom was identified as fake, which made Zhu Yun very sad and sad, and he was ready to take "Songyang Han Baitu" home and keep it for himself, but after listening to Liu Yan's words, he also moved the idea of waste reuse.
It's only worth 30,000 yuan to keep it, and selling it to Liu Yan's so-called collector friend can be sold for 170,000 yuan, which is also several times over.
So almost without hesitation, Zhu Yun sold it.
But it turns out that these are all lies that Liu Yan used to defraud the painting at a low price, because in 2011, Zhu Yun saw his heirloom again and was auctioned at a price of 87 million!
It is precisely because Zhu Yun loves antique treasure appreciation that he will give his heirloom to an "expert" like Liu Yan for appraisal, and it is precisely because of this that he saw his heirloom being auctioned.
Zhu Yun was almost certain that this was his family's "Songyang Han Bai Tu", and Liu Yan spent 170,000 yuan to buy a painting worth 87 million.
He definitely couldn't bear this, so he immediately contacted Liu Yan and asked to repay his family's heirloom.
But who can say clearly about treasure appreciation?
After all, Zhu Yun negotiated the price with "Liu Yan" himself, and the collector introduced by the other party also paid the money with one hand and delivered the goods with the other, and the rules were reasonable and legal, so what's the problem?
Among them, Liu Yan even only acted as an introducer, to be honest, he had nothing to do with him according to the law.
It can only be said that his professionalism in appreciating treasures is not good, and he has not been able to correctly identify the authenticity of this "Songyang Han Baitu".
The identification was wrong, it was sold according to the fake painting, and the collector also spent 170,000 yuan to buy it, and there was nothing wrong with Liu Yan in it.
The investigation did not find evidence that Liu Yan and the collector colluded to deceive Zhu Yun.
So this matter is over, Zhu Yun paid the price because of his credulity, and the court could not sentence the collector or Liu Yan to compensate Zhu Yun for his losses, so he could only stop there.
epilogue
Although there is not enough evidence to prove that this matter is Liu Yan's problem, anyone with a discerning eye can see that his conspiracy and calculation are nothing more than bullying Zhu Yun for not knowing the value of heirlooms, and taking advantage of the information difference to make a huge amount of auction money.
And Zhu Yun suffered such a big loss, but he could only give up, and even the court couldn't let Liu Yan pay him money.
It is said that treasures are true and false, and treasure connoisseurs are even more true and false, and valuable heirlooms should go to professional departments to find qualified experts to deal with, not that Liu Yan is capable on TV.
And what makes people even more angry is that because the law cannot punish Liu Yan, he went to Hong Kong to avoid the limelight all these years, and then mixed up in the treasure appraisal world, and began to give people treasure appraisal and do business again.
As long as there is no second incident, maybe Liu Yan can continue in this industry forever, even if the matter of Zhu Yun's family has never happened at all, he can only swallow these bitterness by himself in the end.
I hope that such a fake treasure expert can be rectified!
