Jianbao life

Chapter 292 Beeswax
"Hey, brother Liu, if you were cousins, you could still be successful in ancient times, but there is really no way for you to be cousins." Fatty Dong said a little funny.

"The 23rd Year of Zuo Zhuan Xi Gong" once put forward the argument that "men and women with the same surname, they are not born in the same family".The same surname is not married, which is an important principle stipulated in the ancient marriage system. "Book of Rites" also said: "Wives do not take the same surname." In the Tang Dynasty, Kong Yingda pointed out in the commentary to "Zuo Zhuan": "Justice said: the rites do not take the same surname when choosing a wife. Take it to avoid violations, so you cannot have children. Prosperous interest."

Therefore, even in ancient times, intermarriage between cousins ​​was strictly prohibited, and only cousins ​​were popular.

"You fuck off!" Liu Sizhe scolded with a smile, "Even if you are cousins, try marrying me now!"

"Hey! What are you guys discussing? Are you talking about unhealthy topics?" Seeing Chu Chen and the others whispering together, Su Jinning asked with a frown.

Fatty Dong laughed and said: "How is this possible! We are all good young people in the new century, how can we discuss such a bad topic."

"Come on, if Brother Chu is a good young man, I still believe it, but you? Who will believe it!" Su Jinning said with a snort.

"Ningning, you really wronged me..."

Before Fatty Dong finished speaking, Su Jinning said, "If you want to prove it, then you can tell us what you discussed just now."

"This……"

Su Jinning's request made Fatty Dong very embarrassed. If this group of gossip girls knew about this kind of family affairs, it would not be long before this matter would not be a secret, and the most important thing was that there was Chu Yulan involved. There are classmates in the dormitory, this kind of thing must not be said to them.

At this time, a waiter just came in and asked if the food could be served, which happened to relieve Fatty Dong from this topic.

Seeing that Su Jinning wanted to ask more questions, Chu Chen smiled and said, "Okay, you can ask your fat man this question after you go back, and now let's eat first!"

Su Jinning is not stupid. Hearing what Chu Chen said, he immediately realized that there might be something hidden in it, so he didn't say anything more.

Afterwards, everyone was toasting, and the scene was very lively.

After three rounds of wine and five tastes of food, Fatty Dong hiccupped and said, "Brother Chu, my grandfather liked the set of silver coins last time very much. He asked me to say thank you!"

"No, no, no! I also like the things he always gives me. We each get what we need." Chu Chen waved his hand and said.

"I want it!" Fatty Dong said with a smile: "You don't know how much my grandfather likes that set of silver coins. Since getting that set of silver coins, my grandfather has become much more energetic."

"Fatty Dong, aren't you exaggerating?" Tong Hangqi didn't believe what Fatty Dong said.

Fatty Dong said: "You don't know that. If a person gets a favorite thing, he must be in a very happy mood. Didn't you hear a sentence in the advertisement? A good mood and a good appetite. Eat it." Well Xiang, you have a great body!"

"It seems to be a mouth in the advertisement, okay?"

"It's the same thing anyway!" Fatty Dong waved his hand and said, "Brother Chu, my grandpa also said that you like porcelain, and he also has treasures of ancient famous porcelain, you can exchange ancient coins with him. "

"Okay! I'll go exchange it with him when I have rare ancient coins." Chu Chen said happily.

Although he has a few coins worth five thousand, this kind of coin is not too precious, and there is definitely not enough ancient ceramics to exchange for treasures.

"Brother Chu, you don't need ancient coins. My grandfather said that you can choose one of them and buy it with money."

"Thank you so much, but now that I'm in a financial crisis, let's wait for a while."

Chu Chen knew that the reason why Elder Dong was so talkative was because he felt that he had taken advantage of the last transaction, so he compensated him with this.

"No way, Xiao Chen, isn't that piece of yellow jade worth more than 2000 million that day? Why are you out of money?" Li Guodong said in surprise.

"I really don't intend to sell that piece of yellow jade." Chu Chen replied.

"Wait!" Liu Sizhe said in astonishment, "Brother Chen, when did you offer another piece of Huang Fei worth more than 2000 million!"

"Just last Saturday, a friend of ours opened a stone gambling shop, and it was opened there."

"Brother Chen, you are so mean!" Liu Sizhe said, beating his chest and stamping his feet, "Why don't you take me with you for such a good thing!"

Chu Chen said embarrassingly: "I'm so sorry, I forgot at that time, next time, let's go together again next time!"

"Don't wait for the next time, tomorrow is Saturday!" Liu Sizhe said quickly.

"Well, let's go again after a while. The most important thing is that we took advantage of it last time. It's a bit embarrassing to go again this week!"

In fact, it is precisely because Chu Chen thinks that Liu Zhiqing is likely to give them a discount, so he subconsciously does not plan to bring other friends there. His sister and the others know Liu Zhiqing, and it is fine, and other people make him a little embarrassed. up.

Hearing that it was because of this, Liu Sizhe didn't force it, but other than that, he was a little strange and asked, "Brother Chen, I remember last time you got 500 million from the fat man and sold it to someone else. Uncle Yi has a piece of jadeite, how come he has no money?"

"Hehe, it's really nothing, but yesterday I spent 5000 million to buy a pair of Chenghua chicken cups."

"What? Chenghua Doucai Chicken Crock Cup?"

"5000 million for a pair of cups?"

Among those present, only Liu Sizhe knew the value of the real Chenghua chicken bowl cup, and the others felt that it was too unbelievable for Chu Chen to buy a pair of cups for 5000 million, but whether it was Liu Sizhe or anyone else, they were all stunned by this shock .

"Why do you all have such expressions?" Chu Chen said dumbfounded.

"Nonsense!" Su Jinning said tongue-tiedly: "5000 million! Just buy a pair of cups. Could it be that the pair of cups are used by gods!"

Before Chu Chen could explain, Liu Sizhe said strangely: "What is 5000 million, Xiao Ning, do you know that a genuine Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup was sold at Sotheby's in 99 for 2917 million?" In Hong Kong dollars, do the math, how much is a pair of cups worth?"

"Ah!" Su Jinning widened his eyes and said, "That must not be close to 6000 million Hong Kong dollars. Wait, I remember that Hong Kong dollars are worth more than RMB!"

"Yes, based on the exchange rate at that time, there should be more than 6000 two million yuan!" Fatty Dong patted his forehead and said, "Brother Chu, doesn't that mean that you have earned more than 1000 two million yuan?"

"It can't be counted that way. There are various expenses in the auction." Chu Chen shook his head and said.

Liu Sizhe said: "The difference is not much different. Counting the appreciation in the past two years, it is conservatively estimated that it will be 6000 to [-] million. If it goes to the auction, it will be even more!"

Chu Chen waved his hand and said, "No, one of them is just a little bit worse. I conservatively estimate that the price of this pair of cups should be 500 million."

"Brother Chen, don't say that!" Liu Sizhe said with a smile: "You say that you are conservative. I think that if you intend to make a move now, there will be a lot of people crying and clamoring for it." .”

Chu Chen spread his hands and said with a smile, "I won't sell the key! So this 5000 million will kill me!..."

At the same time, the little chubby girl asked Chu Yulan in a low voice, "Yulan, what does your brother do? There are tens of millions at every turn. I'm terrified when I hear that."

Chu Yulan smiled and said, "Didn't you hear it just now, my brother is in the antique business, and he is also in the jadeite business."

The little chubby girl said puzzledly, "I know that jadeite is valuable, but why are antiques so valuable?"

"Antiques are also divided into two categories, popular ones, and those in large quantities are generally not worth a lot of money. Only some of the high-quality goods are valuable." Chu Yulan explained.

"Then your brother can also appraise antiques?"

"Of course, my brother has an appraiser's certificate. Why, do you have anything to appraise?"

"Yulan, look at this string of beeswax bracelets of mine." The chubby girl took a string of colorful bracelets from her hands, handed them to Chu Yulan, and said, "This is what my dad brought back from his business trip to France last year." Yes, it is said to be made of noble beeswax, some people say it is fake, some people say it is true, can you please help me take a look at it?"
"It should be fine, let's go together!..."

After finishing speaking, Chu Yulan accompanied the chubby girl to Chu Chen's side, and the other girls, feeling curious, followed along.

"Brother, can you show this bracelet for little fat girl?" Chu Yulan handed over the bracelet in her hand.

Chu Chen nodded, but he did not take the bracelet, but said: "That's no problem, but let me tell you something first, in the antique business, you must put things on the table or on the ground first when you give them to others. Otherwise, if one misses and something breaks, who will it be? Some people even use this as a trick to deceive newcomers who don’t know how to do it. So when you buy antiques in the future, you must remember this. "

After hearing what Chu Chen said, everyone nodded in amazement, and Chu Yulan quickly put the bracelet on the table.

Chu Chen took the bracelet in his hand, fiddled with it a little, and asked the little fat girl, "You said it was noble beeswax, right?"

"En! Yes!" The little fat girl nodded.

"First of all, let me tell you that according to our country's standards, noble beeswax cannot obtain a certificate no matter which appraisal institution it is in."

"Ah! Why?" The little fat girl said in surprise.

Chu Chen explained: "It's actually very simple. The noble beeswax in the usual sense is actually synthesized by heating amber to 150 degrees Celsius to melt it into a liquid state and then adding pigments. Therefore, this kind of beeswax cannot pass the verification of Yimi. Because the surface will be emulsified..."
