Chapter 396 Black Market ([-])

After all, the black market is not a serious place, so unfamiliar customers will often not strike up a conversation, after all, no one will write the word "bad guy" on their face.

Kang Yuming is not a fool, and he has passed the age of doing whatever he wants now, even if he has a prominent family background, he will not break this rule for no reason, so as not to arouse the disgust of the other party.

As mentioned earlier, Kang Yuming is also a frequent visitor to the black market. He is familiar with old people like Zhu Dafu in the antique industry, so he greeted Zhu Dafu first, and after a few pleasantries, he asked: " Let me ask you a question, what is the name of this little brother?"

Chu Chen's sense is still very keen, just now he had somewhat guessed Kang Yuming's plan, although Kang Yuming's performance was quite polite, but on this occasion, Chu Chen didn't want to say anything more, so he simply replied :
"Hello, my surname is Chu, and I'm a descendant of Uncle Fu."

When Kang Yuming heard Chu Chen's surname, he immediately thought of the prestigious Chu family. He and Chu Junfeng were good friends. The bodyguard is also normal, so he thinks that this Chu Chen is probably a child of the Chu family.

But what surprised him was that in his impression, the Chu family didn't seem to have such a person, and Chu Junfeng never mentioned it to him, which made him shake his previous judgment.In addition, Chu Chen also said that he is the descendant of Uncle Fu, which made him even more distrustful of his previous judgment.

Just when Kang Yuming was about to ask, another person was invited in by the staff. When he saw one of the young people, he couldn't help frowning.

In fact, it wasn't just him, Chu Chen who was sitting next to him also frowned, and said bad luck in his heart, it turned out that it was none other than Yu Guangjie and Qian Changxing who came in.

Seeing that both Kang Yuming and Chu Chen were present, Yu Guangjie frowned in the same way. When Qian Changxing saw Chu Chen, his eyes were filled with anger and a trace of fear.

Qian Changxing's feeling of being afraid is actually very understandable. To him, Chu Chen is a first-class disaster star.The first time they met, he lost his job because of Chu Chen. The second time they met, Yu Guangjie bought a fake painting. The third time they met, Yu Guangjie bought a fake Chenghua blue and white lotus pond pot.

Anyway, when he meets Chu Chen, nothing good will happen. Even if he is not very superstitious, when he sees Chu Chen at this time, he feels a little up and down in his heart.

The staff had good looks. Seeing that Yu Guangjie and Chu Chen were not dealing with each other, they quickly led them to the other side.

Kang Yuming also saw Chu Chen's expression just now, so he asked with great interest: "Brother Chu, look at the appearance just now, don't tell me you and Yu Guangjie are not getting along?"

Chu Chen smiled slightly and said, "How many times have you had conflicts with him, how about you?"

"Me, it's about the same. It's an old grudge!" Kang Yuming said with a chuckle.

Kang Yuming kept his expression on his face, but in his heart he was a little confused because of Chu Chen's answer. If Chu Chen was really a member of the Chu family, he wouldn't dare to provoke Chu Chen even if Yu Guangjie had the guts, but if Chu Chen wasn't How could members of the Chu family not retaliate against Chu Chen based on Yu Guangjie's narrow-mindedness? How could the two of them be as calm as they are now?

No wonder Chu Chen is not a member of the Chu family, but a child of another family with similar background as Yu Guangjie?
Kang Yuming couldn't think of a reason for it. In fact, the real situation is that Yu Guangjie didn't know that Chu Chen was a child of the Chu family, but he knew that Chu Chen was a disciple of Mr. Liu, and he had a very good relationship with Zhao Qirui, which made him Even if he wanted to trouble Chu Chen, he didn't dare to act rashly.

"Hey, am I stupid? Why do you think so much? Just ask if you don't."

Kang Yuming patted his forehead lightly, but just as he was about to speak, a middle-aged man in his forties came out of the inner room.

The man walked to the table in the middle, coughed lightly, and then said angrily: "Hi everyone, my name is Bao Wen, I believe many old friends here know me, new friends we are familiar with each other once, If you think my item is good, you are welcome to join us next time, without further ado, the auction will start on time now."

As soon as Bao Wen finished speaking, a staff member put a box on the table and took out the contents. Chu Chen took a closer look and found that it was a bronze mirror.

"The first thing to be photographed is the Tang Dynasty sea beast grape pattern mirror, with a raw pit. Friends who are interested can come to the stage to take a look, but please don't touch it with your hands..."

Maybe because of the black market accident last time, the organizers didn't invite too many guests today, only twelve or three in total. Although there were not many people, it could be seen from their clothes that they were all very Wealth is expensive.

When Bao Wen finished speaking, someone walked up directly.

Although Chu Chen is not very interested in the things in the life pit, but if you don't buy it, it doesn't mean you can't watch it. Things like this are also a good opportunity to learn, so he also went up.

Seeing Chu Chen stepping forward to observe, Qian Changxing, who was sitting on the side, rolled his eyes and whispered something to Yu Guangjie. Yu Guangjie nodded slightly, and Qian Changxing stood up and walked up the same way.

In this black market auction, the appraisal time is 5 minutes each time, but this is the time for everyone to appraise together.

At this point of time, and not being able to observe it, it will undoubtedly bring some difficulties for everyone to judge the authenticity of things, but the black market is like this, the price of things is low in the first place, and if you give you a lot of convenience, then the organizer is not here to run charity of.

This bronze mirror is round, with a surface diameter of nearly [-] to [-] kilograms. It is a medium-sized bronze mirror. The bronze mirror looks quite heavy, with a white texture.

The back of the mirror is decorated with high-relief grape patterns, interspersed with sea animals, birds, bees, butterflies, flowers and other patterns, which are gorgeous and complicated.The composition method is divided into inner and outer circles, because the branches and tendrils of grapes and long-petaled flowers are connected from the inner circle to the outer circle, and even extend to the outer edge, so the world also calls this kind of bronze mirror "the mirror with grape pattern on the bridge".

The characteristics of the Tang Dynasty on this bronze mirror are very obvious, and its appearance is excellent, with very little copper rust on the surface. If this bronze mirror does not look very natural, Chu Chen would suspect that it has been processed.

Chu Chen was quite moved by this bronze mirror, but it was a pity that there were still traces of unearthed on its surface, which made him hesitate a little.

As soon as Chu Chen returned to his seat, Kang Yuming asked familiarly: "Brother Chu, what do you think of things?"

Kang Yuming’s impression of Chu Chen was pretty good, plus the current bronze mirror market is in a downturn. Even if this bronze mirror is auctioned, it’s estimated to be only about [-] yuan, and the value on the black market is even lower, so he nodded slightly road:
"not bad!"

"Okay, everyone must have already had an impression of this bronze mirror. The base price of this Tang Dynasty sea animal grape pattern mirror is 2000 yuan. Those who are interested can bid..."

As I said just now, the current market for bronze mirrors is very sluggish, and it is another thing that is a trap. If you are not a collector who specializes in collecting bronze mirrors, you may not buy it. Obviously, among the dozen or so people present, Basically, they were not interested in it, so no one responded for a while.

"I will offer 2000 yuan!"

Seeing that no bids were made at the scene, and the price was relatively low, even if it was bleached, it would not cost much, so Chu Chen decided to buy it for fun.

"Five thousand!"

As soon as Chu Chen made an offer, Qian Changxing on the opposite side added [-] as if he had been beaten into a chicken blood, and after the bid, he looked at Chu Chen triumphantly.

Chu Chen didn't know what Qian Changxing was thinking, since he wanted to play, let's play, so he gave Qian Changxing a hard look, and bid:
"Six thousand!"

"Seven thousand!"

"Eight thousand!"

"Nine thousand!"

"Fifteen thousand!"

Seeing that the price had reached [-], Zhu Dafu quickly pulled Chu Chen, but Chu Chen ignored him, but looked at Qian Changxing opposite with a ferocious face and red eyes, and roared,

"Twenty thousand!" At this moment, Qian Changxing seemed to be affected by the atmosphere, as if he was about to go into battle shirtless.

What Qian Changxing never imagined was that when he made an offer, Chu Chen turned around, apologized to Zhu Dafu, and then drank tea leisurely.

This completely different contrast made the others almost think that Chu Chen's appearance just now was just their illusion, and they were all stunned for a while.

At this time, Qian Changxing felt as if he had hit cotton with a heavy punch, and he wanted to vomit blood depressedly, and this price increase was his idea, and he had to pay the 2 yuan out of his own pocket, which was really a loss. After losing his wife and losing his army, don't mention how aggrieved he is.

Qian Changxing is Yu Guangjie's eye master. If he loses face, Yu Guangjie's face will definitely not look good. As long as it can make Yu Guangjie lose face, Kang Yuming will be very happy, and Chu Chen's hand is indeed beautiful, so He said appreciatively, "Brother Chu, you are amazing!"

Chu Chen waved his hand and said with a smile: "I dare not take it, I just played a trick."

"Small tricks are sometimes great wisdom!" Kang Yuming laughed and said, "By the way, I wonder if brother Chu knows the current market price of this bronze mirror?"

"It's about [-] at the auction." Chu Chen replied.

Only [-] yuan can be sold at the regular auction, and [-] yuan at the black market auction is already very high. You must know that such unearthed artifacts are risky, so Kang Yuming felt very happy after hearing Chu Chen's answer.

Reluctantly holding the money, Qian Changxing came to the stage to complete the deal. With the things in hand, he turned his head to look at Chu Chen with resentment and helplessness. At this moment, he felt as if he was Under a spell, otherwise why would he be so unlucky every time he meets Chu Chen?
