Jianbao life

Chapter 521
Chu Chen explained with a smile: "Because of time constraints, I didn't take a closer look at these two things, so I gave it a go. Anyway, even if the quality is not high, I will only lose tens of thousands of yuan at most."

Wu Ke rolled his eyes at him and said, "It's easy for you to say. My dad often told me when I was a child that you must carefully identify antiques when you buy them. Don't do this again in the future!"

Chu Chen chuckled and said, "Isn't this a special situation!"

Wu Ke just reminded him that she knew what happened just now, and she didn't say much afterwards, and then said: "By the way, after returning to Beijing, I will return the money to you!"

"Which one of us is with whom, there is no need to pay it back!" Chu Chen said with a smile.

Wu Ke refused directly: "No, I am useful for this sachet, and I must buy it with my own money!"

Although Chu Chen gave her all the money now in the name of the diamond necklace, but this sachet is a gift she is going to give to Chu Chen, so it may not be that Chu Chen spends money to buy it!
"What's the use?" Chu Chen asked curiously.

Wu Ke giggled and said, "I'll tell you later!..."

On the other side, Akita Changsuke saw Chu Chen raising the sachet in his hand to him, and felt a little strange in his heart. Could it be that Chu Chen had something wrong with his mind, and he was so happy after losing money?
But after he thought about it, he felt that this should not be the case, and quickly asked Mr. Yang next to him, "Sheng Yang, is that sachet really only worth that much money?"

"This..." Mr. Yang pondered for a while, and then said: "Based on the material and craftsmanship of that sachet, it should be worth that little money, but you also know that time was a little tight just now, and I don't care about so many things. It may cover everything, so I don't know the quality of the pendant on the sachet, if the quality of those two items is considered top-notch, then the other party is not losing much at this price."

"..."

Hearing what Mr. Yang said, Zhaotian Changjie was extremely depressed. Judging from Chu Chen's behavior, it is very likely that the real situation is just like what Mr. Yang said. This also means that his actions just now did not affect Chu Chen at all. What impact did it bring, which made him really uncomfortable.

"80 million!"

At this moment, Akita Changsuke suddenly heard Chu Chen's quotation again, which lifted his spirits, and thought to himself, this time, he will definitely not let Chu Chen succeed easily again!

He looked up and found that what was being auctioned at this time was a white jade ornament.

The decoration is a round jade phoenix carved from white jade, with a plump body and eight young chicks on its back, either spreading its wings, protruding its head, hiding in its feathers, or jumping and playing.Yuhuang's wings are slightly folded, protecting the young, looking back and visiting, like a loving mother.

The carving of this vessel is simple, but it shows a charm and a strong sense of sculpture. In addition, there are blood stains in some parts of the jade vessel, which makes the overall shape more layered.

"Yang Sheng, what is the value of this thing?"

Mr. Yang thought about it, and with the experience just now, he felt that it would be better not to say the affirmative value, so he said with some embarrassment: "President Zhaotian, I'm really sorry, I didn't have time to observe this jade carving. So the authenticity and value are really unclear."

Akita Tsunesuke frowned and asked, "Then can you estimate its value?"

Mr. Yang pondered for a while, and then said: "This ornament looks like a carver in the early Ming Dynasty. If it is a real piece, it should be worth between 150 and [-] million. Of course, the specific value needs to be obtained carefully. You will know after watching.”

Changsuke Akita nodded, seeing that Chu Chen had already bid 120 million, he quickly raised a sign:

"120 million fifty thousand!"

Seeing Changsuke Akita's bid, Chu Chen chuckled inwardly, and then raised his sign and said, "130 million!"

"140 million!" Akita Tsunesuke hastily increased the price.

"150 million!" Chu Chen raised his card again with a gloomy face.

"160 million!" Akita Changsuke, who was present, added another [-], and then gave Chu Chen a provocative look.

But what Akita Changsuke didn't expect was that Chu Chen gave him a weird smile, and then drank tea leisurely, which made him feel as if a heavy punch had been hit on the cotton, and he felt so uncomfortable that he wanted to vomit blood.

Seeing this, Liu Sizhe asked a little strangely: "Brother Chen, even if the commission is included, the current price is not expensive, right?"

"Of course it's true!" Chu Chen said with a smile.

"You mean, this is a fake?" Everyone was a little surprised by what Chu Chen said.

Chu Chen chuckled: "Yes, if I'm not mistaken, that piece of jade should be a piece of "dog jade", because it was processed later, so it seems that the traces of forgery are not obvious, but just look carefully a few times. In the details, you can find the unnaturalness in it.”

"Then..." As soon as he started, Wu Ke suddenly said: "You are planning to trick that little guy before you bid?"

"He wants to cheat us, so of course we can cheat him too!" Chu Chen said with a smile.

"That is, if it weren't for him, scriptures and oracle bones wouldn't cost so much."

Wu Ke said angrily: "It's better to treat him like pants!"

Everyone laughed, and Liu Sizhe said with a smile: "I don't know how he will feel when he finds out that jade carving is a fake!"

With Akita Tsunesuke's eyesight, if it is a relatively poor imitation or he can still distinguish it, of course he will not be able to see such a realistic high imitation.

At this time, although he felt very uncomfortable in his heart, when he heard Mr. Yang said that the transaction price was not expensive in terms of the quality of jade carvings, he became happy again, thinking, even if he did not achieve his goal, next month It happened to be the mother-in-law's birthday, and this jade carving happened to be a gift. I think this gift should make her happy.

Next, two more items were auctioned on the spot, followed by the third item offered by Mu Tianguang, which was also a piece of porcelain.

"This lot is a Ming Hongwu blue-and-white plum vase with cloud and dragon patterns. It is 43.6 cm high and 12.6 cm in foot diameter. The mouth of this bottle is short, the shoulders and abdomen are round, the lower abdomen is long and thin, and the bottom is flat. The body is hard, the glaze is crystal clear, and the green material is green and rich. The belly theme is painted with blue and white five-clawed cloud dragon pattern, the dragon's claws are stretched, the dragon's mouth is holding a fireball, and its head is galloping between the sea of ​​clouds. The layout of the picture is reasonable, and the image is natural and vivid. In addition, flint red can be seen at the bottom."

The auctioneer introduced: "Everyone should know that there were few porcelains in the Hongwu Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty, and the "glaze red" technique was used more. Blue and white porcelains are rare, and blue and white porcelains are even rarer. There is a lot of room for the market appreciation of blue and white porcelain.”

"And this plum bottle is a fine piece of Hongwu blue and white porcelain. It can be said to be quite rare. I believe that if you buy it home and store it for a few years, it will definitely bring you unexpected benefits. In addition, this bottle also has A certificate of authenticity from an expert guarantees that it is authentic."

"Now, the 30th lot, Ming Hongwu blue-and-white plum vase with cloud and dragon pattern, the starting price is 200 million HKD, and each increase must not be less than [-]. Please bid!"

"300 million!"

"350 million!"

"400 million!……"

Just as the price on the spot was rising, Chu Chen frowned and lowered his head in thought for a moment, then stared at the plum vase for a while, and then said to Zhao Qirui who was sitting next to him: "Uncle, can you buy it later?" Lend me some money, I want to take pictures of this collection."

Zhao Qirui had been paying attention to the scene just now, and didn't see Chu Chen's strange expression, so he agreed casually: "Okay, you can just shoot directly!"

"Thank you uncle..."

Chu Chen didn't bid immediately, and only when the bid reached 760 million and few people participated in the competition did he raise the auction board in his hand: "770 million!"

Seeing Chu Chen's quotation, Akita Tsunesuke on the opposite side couldn't help but frowned. He tried to trick Chu Chen twice but failed, letting him know that although Chu Chen was young, he was not easy to deal with.He doesn't know now, whether Chu Chen followed him after seeing the price he quoted, or whether he really wanted to take this plum vase.

Akita Changsuke took a few glances at Chu Chen, and found that Chu Chen looked very calm, and he couldn't tell from Chu Chen's face that he had any thoughts at all, which somewhat distressed Akita Changsuke.However, he immediately came up with an idea, stop it with static, and watch the competition between Chu Chen and the other two first.

"820 million! This gentleman bid 820 million. Is there anyone interested in this plum vase..."

"850 million!" Before the auctioneer finished speaking, Akita Tsunesuke hastily raised his card.

"900 million!" Chu Chen leisurely raised the cards in his hand.

"950 million!" Akita Tsunesuke said not to be outdone.

"1000 million!" Chu Chen glanced provocatively at Tsunesuke Akita.

"Ah Chen, don't be impulsive!" Although Zhao Qirui knew that Chu Chen should have his own considerations, he still reminded him in a low voice.

Just when others felt that Chu Chen and Akita Tsunesuke were about to fall into a fierce fight again, Akita Changsuke spread his hands with a smile, expressing that he would not follow, and then gave Chu Chen a playful look.

Before, he had learned from Mr. Yang that this plum vase should only be worth 750 million based on the market price. Considering the factor of the appraisal certificate, it was only 800 million. Now Chu Chen bought it for 1000 million. To add 70 yuan in commission, 270 million yuan has already been lost, which can be regarded as a relief of his hatred.

In fact, in Zhaotian Changjie's mind, it would be better for Chu Chen to lose more, but he was really afraid that Chu Chen would just accept it as he did just now.

After completing the transaction, Chu Chen looked at the plum vase carefully and then laughed.

Seeing this, Wu Ke complained: "Really, it cost more than 800 million for 1000 million things, so you can still laugh?"

Chu Chen smiled triumphantly and said, "If it was Hongwu's blue and white plum bottle, of course I would lose too much at this price, but how could I do such a stupid thing with such a smart mind? Flowers!"

"What!" Liu Sizhe said in surprise when he heard the words: "Brother Chen, you mean that this plum vase is not from the Hongwu period?"
