People collect cultural relics, on the one hand, because they are very interested in these cultural relics and like their cultural significance; On the other hand, these cultural relics are very valuable, and their collections can be appreciated. Since the promulgation of China's Law on the Protection of Cultural Relics, people's persistence and pursuit of cultural relics have become more enthusiastic. However, cultural relics are limited, and there are very few cultural relics circulating outside, so some people began to move their minds. These people specialize in making fake cultural relics and then use them to cheat money.
The man I want to talk about today uses fake cultural relics for profit. He spent 20 thousand yuan to build a fake cultural relic, but it was valued by experts as high as 2.4 billion. Some people will wonder, why can't experts see it? How did he do it? Let's take a look.
This person's name is Xie Genrong, and his education is only junior high school, so it is difficult to find a job. At first, he did not make fake cultural relics, but engaged in the clothing trade. He exported China's clothes to foreign countries and made a lot of difference. He has many other small businesses, all of which are very successful. They later forged cultural relics because these businesses needed 500 million yuan to run.
In order to obtain funds, Xie Genrong spent 20,000 yuan to make a fake cultural relic, and invited experts to identify the cultural relic. The expert invited by Xie Genrong is Shi Shuqing. After identification, the value of this cultural relic is as high as 2.4 billion yuan. So Xie Genrong went to give this cultural relic a certificate and borrowed 500 million yuan from the bank.
Originally, this fund should be used by Xie Genrong to start the previous company's project, but Xie Genrong went back on his word after getting the money. He squandered everywhere with fraudulent loans. No one knew about it at first, but it will come out in the end.
It was soon known that Xie Genrong's cultural relics were fake. When people knew this, they began to doubt the experts who had identified them at the beginning. Why does a treasure expert value it so high when he has never seen a fake?
Later, it was explained that the process of identifying this cultural relic was very simple. After the identification in Shi Shuqing, no one rechecked it, which made it impossible to identify it as a fake.
After this cultural relic was found to be a fake, Shi Shuqing had already passed away, so no one doubted Shi Shuqing. Everyone agrees that it may be because he is too old to be meticulous and simple.
What the truth is, we don't know now. "Lu Xun's Quotations" mentioned: "Honesty is the foundation of people." Fraud itself is an act of dishonesty, and it is illegal for Xie Genrong to cheat money with fake things. This incident also warns us that it is not feasible to forge cultural relics, and we cannot do illegal things for money.
