Jianbao life

Chapter 426 Firewood Kiln

After making an appointment with Ning Shizhen for tomorrow's deal, Chu Chen picked up other items and looked at them.

The remaining items include bronze mirrors, jade plaques, snuff bottles, gilded bronze Buddha statues, etc. Although there are a few items that Chu Chen likes quite a bit, except for Ning Shizhen who said that he wanted to exchange things In addition to the objects, the other few were taken by other people.

Now that Chu Chen has won the Xuande blue and white flower bowl and Jiulong walnuts, he is embarrassed to eat alone, so he can only give it to others with a little regret.

Opened today, although Ning Shizhen's small business has not been done here, but a lot of big business has been done. If you count the pair of Nine Dragon walnuts that Chu Chen exchanged for things, the total amount has exceeded 200 million, which can be regarded as a good start. up.

Seeing that it was already noon, Ning Shizhen invited everyone to have a meal, and then everyone went their separate ways. ...

After the meal, Zhu Dafu invited Chu Chen and Wang Xiangong to sit with him for a while, since it was nothing serious, they readily agreed.

While chatting and laughing, Zhu Dafu asked strangely: "Xiao Chen, I remember you like to buy high-quality goods now, right? Why would you want that blue and white bowl with such a bad quality? And the quality determines the market value, then The appreciation rate of the bowl will not be large in the future, right?"

Wang Xiangong was also curious about this. From the last auction, he knew that Chu Chen was not short of money, and he would not buy such things for collection. If he wanted to sell them, the price would not be much higher than the price he bought just now. The bowl just now was like a tasteless chicken rib that was a pity to throw away. Could it be that Chu Chen can bring this thing back to life?

But what Wang Xiangong didn't expect was that his guess was right.

Chu Chen chuckled and said, "Uncle Fu, Mr. Wang, you seem to have forgotten that there are already advanced technologies such as ultrasonic and microwave vibrations. After I go back, I only need to spend some money to clean up the dirty things in the ice flakes, and then I will clean them up." Seal the mouth of the ice sheet and send this bowl to the auction, it should be worth 90 to [-]."

After hearing Chu Chen's explanation, Zhu Dafu and Wang Xiangong were stunned. After a while, they came back to their senses and shook their heads and smiled wryly.

Zhu Dafu sighed and said: "Xiao Chen, I feel that I have not kept up with the times. It seems that I am going to retire!"

Chu Chen quickly waved his hand and said: "Uncle Fu, what you said is that we rely on experience in the antique business, and old people like you and Mr. Wang are treasures! This time I just played a trick .”

"Sometimes a little cleverness is not a great wisdom!" Wang Xiangong laughed.

Zhu Dafu smiled. It is said that the waves behind the Yangtze River drive the waves ahead. One day, the older generation will pass on the baton to the next generation. Chu Chen, who is like his own nephew, can now show that he is outstanding, and he himself Why be so emotional!
The three of them walked to the entrance of an antique shop, only to find that there were many people watching at the entrance of the shop, and the sound of arguing could be heard from time to time, which made the three of them a little curious, and at the same time, they were wondering if something like Niu Dabao would happen again. .

Among the onlookers, Zhu Dafu happened to know him, so he quickly inquired about it, and after the man's brief explanation, the three of them understood what was going on.

It turned out that the young man who was arguing in the store liked to collect. The day before yesterday, he heard from a friend that there was a good collection in this store. After hearing the introduction from his friend, the young man was very moved by this collection. It happened to be a friend of his. He is an expert in appraising antiques, so the young man brought that expert friend to this antique shop.

When the young man saw this collection, he felt that it was what he had been thinking about day and night, but he felt a little strange, but his friend insisted that this collection was a fine product imitating Ru kiln. It is worth 30, and now it only costs 18, which can be said to be a big leak. If the young man doesn't want it, he will buy it.

Seeing what his friend said, the young man made up his mind to buy this collection.

People are like this sometimes. Once they have doubts, they will never forget. When the things are brought home, the more young people look at them, the more they feel that the things are wrong, so they let others look at them. As a result, no one said that the things were real, so the young people took them. Came here to return the item.

What the young man didn't expect was that the store owner said that the collection was sold in the store by the friend brought by the young man, and he could only find the owner of the collection to solve it.Only then did the young man realize that the collection belonged to his expert friend, and the appraiser he went to when he bought it was also his friend, so it's no wonder he wasn't deceived.

When the young man came to his senses, it was impossible to find his friend again, so he came to the store to settle the accounts again. His reason was very simple. He doesn't come here to buy things either.

But the shopkeeper disagreed. He said that he was also a victim, and that the liar was an acquaintance with him. Because of this, he agreed to let the other party sell things here. Now that this happened, it will actually affect his reputation. , he doesn't know where to go to appeal for injustice, how can he impose the loss on his head.

The young man felt that the shopkeeper and the scammer must have colluded, otherwise why the card was drawn here when checking out, but the shopkeeper still said it was for the convenience of friends.

Just like that, the two of them started arguing back and forth.

Knowing the whole story, all three of them shook their heads. There are so many "landmines" in the antique industry, and the methods are varied and strange. If you are not careful, you may get caught. It is quite hard to guard against.

"However, this antique is eye-catching. It seems that I have never heard that it can be returned. Could it be that this young man signed a contract with the store?" Chu Chen asked curiously.

The person who explained it just now smiled and said: "If the store owner really colluded with the scammer, how could the store owner sign the contract? If the store owner is also kept in the dark, then the liar will not let the store owner sign the contract."

If you heard that the contract was not signed, everyone knew that the young man would definitely not be able to get back the money in the end, and the young man would not win even if there was a lawsuit without a contract.

The reality reflected everyone's speculation. After a while, the young man walked out of the antique shop angrily but sadly. After walking a few steps, perhaps unable to bear the anger in his heart, he took out the collection he bought, Just ready to hit the ground directly.

"Wait!" Before the young man could push himself down, he heard a shout from behind.

The young man stopped what he was doing and looked back, only to see a young man walking in front of him quickly.

Chu Chen said, "Sir, it's a pity that you smashed this thing. I wonder if you can give it to me?"

At first, the young man thought that Chu Chen was joking, but Chu Chen's familiar expression told him that the other party really wanted to buy the fake in his hands, which made him wonder, and quickly asked with some hope: "Little brother, I don't know how much you are going to pay?"

"One thousand!" Chu Chen pulled out his index finger and said.

The price given by Chu Chen immediately shattered the hopes of the young people, but thinking about it, how could something that many experts consider to be fakes come back to life?
The young man took a deep breath and said, "I have already lost 18 yuan, and this 1000 yuan is not a lot. If you really want it, I will give you 1 yuan!"

"Hehe, you should keep it to yourself!" Chu Chen smiled and shook his head, without saying anything, turned around and was about to walk back.

The young people's reaction when they saw Chu Chen was also a little dazed. Under normal circumstances, the deal should be done after haggling. Could it be that the other party really wanted to pay for it because they felt it was a pity that it was a waste?

1000 yuan is also money. The young people don't want to see the cooked duck suddenly fly away, so they quickly said loudly: "Five thousand, do you want five thousand?"

But Chu Chen was still unmoved, and walked straight to Zhu Dafu.

"Two thousand, if you still think it's expensive, forget it!" The young man shouted loudly.

Chu Chen paused when he heard this, and after a while, he turned around and walked back to the young man, took out 2000 yuan, and said to him, "If I didn't think your three-legged wash is pleasing to the eye, I wouldn't What a waste of money!"

The young man didn't say much, he paid the money with one hand and delivered the goods with the other. After finishing, he walked away quickly, as if he was afraid of Chu Chen's repentance.But Chu Chen will not regret it, on the contrary, he is afraid that the young people will regret it!
Holding the three-legged washbasin he just bought, Chu Chen walked back to Zhu Dafu and the others.

"I said Xiao Chu, why did you think of buying a fake, there must be something to say in it?" Wang Xiangong asked impatiently.

Chu Chen said with an honest expression: "What can I say, I really just think this three-legged washbasin looks pleasing to the eye, and it would be a pity to smash it, so I bought it."

Hearing what Chu Chen said, Wang Xiangong immediately showed a strange expression of believing in you, and Zhu Dafu next to him said with a smile: "Okay, let's talk about this matter when it's up to me!"

Chu Chen said with a smile: "You guys go first, I'm going to get some saponins now."

After finishing speaking, he turned back and walked towards a place. He remembered that there was a saponin tree not far from here.

Seeing Chu Chen's behavior, Wang Xiangong muttered firmly: "There must be something weird about that three-legged washing machine!"
"Okay, let's go first, anyway, Xiao Chen will reveal the secret to us in a while." After speaking, Zhu Dafu led the way to his shop.

After Zhu Dafu and the others walked away for a while, the shop owner smiled wryly at the door and said, "This time I'm so ashamed, I think I've been doing my job for so many years, and I actually encountered this kind of thing, just jumping into the Yellow River It can't be cleaned."

"I said, Lao Zhang, I remember you never brought anything for sale to others, right?"

"Hey! This time I'm also soft-hearted. A friend I've been with for four or five years has asked for it, and I'm too embarrassed to refuse. And that day, only Xiao Tang was in the store, and he didn't look at anything. The next day he brought the one just now. The young people are here. Hey! It can be regarded as an increase in wisdom!"
