Jianbao life

Chapter 631

I took Duan Kun and Zhenzhen to play in the capital for several days. During the period, Liu Sizhe and Wang Xiaoyue, who had been missing for a long time, also appeared. .

Besides Liu Sizhe and Wang Xiaoyue, other friends also joined the playing team.However, after Fatty Dong and Duan Kun met, the two began to sneer and ridicule, showing the appearance of a deadly rival.

During dinner on the first night, they started drinking together. In the end, both of them vomited and got drunk at the same time.

However, what surprised Chu Chen was that when he saw these two the next day, they had already reconciled. Apart from shouting that I don't understand, I really have nothing to say.

In this way, the days swished past in a playful way, and in a blink of an eye, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month passed.

Early this morning, Chu Chen first sent Chu Yulan, who was going home for the festival, to school, then went to pick up Uncle Wu and returned to the antique shop.

The day before yesterday, Chu Chen negotiated with the owner of the shop next door and completed the transaction. At that time, he called Boss Huang of the decoration company.So, when Chu Chen and Uncle Wu came to the antique shop, they saw that Boss Huang and his men from the decoration company were already waiting in the shop.

After the two parties greeted each other, Chu Chen brought Boss Huang and his men to the shop next door.

This shop, as I said before, is not big. Chu Chen had already told Boss Huang about the requirements yesterday, and today he just came to inspect the site, and work can start after the blueprints are produced.

Boss Huang inspected the upstairs and downstairs, and said with a smile on his face: "Young Master Chu, I took a look. Basically, the paper can be unearthed tomorrow. If you are satisfied, we can start construction on the same day."

Chu Chen said with a smile: "Boss Huang, we are old friends. I am very relieved when you do things. As before, my requirements are not high, as long as the quality is okay!"

"Young Master Chu, don't worry, I promise to complete the project as soon as possible!" Boss Huang quickly patted his chest to assure him.

"Okay, after the decoration here is finished, I would like to ask you to help me decorate my courtyard." Chu Chen said with a smile.

Boss Huang was stunned for a moment, then asked, "How big is the courtyard?"
"The total area is about [-] square meters!" Chu Chen replied.

"hiss!"

Although he knew that Chu Chen's courtyard would not be too small, Boss Huang didn't expect it to be so big, so he took a deep breath, and his subordinates were so shocked that they almost dropped everything in their hands to the ground .

Regarding Boss Huang's reaction, Chu Chen just smiled, and he said, "But that courtyard house is too old, it probably needs to be demolished and rebuilt."

Boss Huang couldn't help being happy when he heard Chu Chen say that he was going to tear it down and rebuild it. Although he didn't dare to make more money from Chu Chen, but after getting along with him for so long, he also knew that Chu Chen was more generous, and he would definitely not treat him badly.Besides, this is an opportunity to get closer to Chu Chen, he can't let it go, he must finish it well.

However, Boss Huang still knew how much he weighed. After a while, he said with a bitter face, "Young Master Chu, although my company's qualifications are not bad, and it's okay to take over the project of your courtyard house, but... "

Before he could finish speaking, Chu Chen waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I've got rid of Professor Shi in terms of drawings, but he's busy these days, so the drawings probably won't come out until some time later."

Boss Huang patted his forehead and said with a smile: "Hey! I almost forgot about his old man! With him here, I feel relieved..."

After explaining clearly to Boss Huang, the other party rushed back to make drawings, while Chu Chen closed the door of the shop and walked to the next door.

As soon as he walked to the door, Chu Chen saw an old man in his 60s who looked like an old intellectual, with a big box in his hand, walked straight to the cashier, and asked the cashier Said: "This girl, I don't know if your boss Chu is here?"

The cashier was slightly taken aback, and then gestured to the old man's back: "Our boss is right behind you!"

The old man was also stunned. Looking back, he felt a little embarrassed when he saw Chu Chen with a smile on his face. Then he walked up to Chu Chen and followed him, and said with a smile, "Boss Chu, hello, my name is Yuan Hongjian, and I am old Zhu Chen." Introduced me to you."

Chu Chen immediately reacted, and said with a smile: "Oh, you are Professor Zhu's friend who just played collecting?"

Yuan Hongjian said: "Yes, it's me! He told me yesterday that it was you who said that I might have been deceived, so I'm here today to ask for advice."

Speaking of this, he may feel that his words are likely to cause misunderstandings, so he said quickly: "Boss Chu, I usually speak so straightforwardly, I hope you don't take offense!"

At first, Chu Chen really felt that he came to Xingshi to inquire about the crime, but now that he heard him say that, he smiled and said, "No, no, let's go upstairs to talk!"

"Row……"

Yuan Hongjian nodded, and after walking a few steps, he saw a guest holding a blue and white plate. The blue and white plate looked very beautiful, which immediately aroused his interest, so he pointed to the plate in the guest's hand and asked :

"Boss Chu, can I have a look at that plate?"

Yuan Hongjian's voice was a bit loud, and the guest heard it too. He immediately turned around with a frown and looked at Yuan Hongjian.

Chu Chen smiled wryly to himself, and quickly explained to the guest: "Sir, I'm really sorry, he just started in the industry, so he doesn't understand some rules."

Hearing Chu Chen's explanation, the guest nodded. After all, everyone came from a newcomer, and the other party was an old man, so why bother.

Seeing the reactions of the two, Yuan Hongjian immediately knew that he had done something wrong. He smiled awkwardly, and then asked in a low voice, "Boss Chu, couldn't I just ask that?"

"Yes, there is a rule in our business called 'Don't look at what's in your hand'."

Chu Chen explained as he walked: "The hands mentioned here are not in the hands of antique dealers, but the buyers don't look at or ask about things that are already in their hands..."

Many newcomers don’t understand this rule. For example, when you go to a booth and see someone holding something there, you just lean over and look at it. When you see something you like, you go up and grab something from the other person and say: “ Dude, let me take a look at this."

At this time, if people are polite, they will tell you, please wait until I finish watching you, and if you are not polite, you can directly scold you for not knowing the rules.

In addition, Chu Chen also told Yuan Hongjian a rule. If you wait for others to finish reading, it is best to wait for the seller to take back the item before you take it from the seller. It is best not to take it directly from the buyer. , This is mainly because some buyers may have dirty hands and feet and are easy to steal things. If he takes something and hands over the rest to you, after you read it and return it, you will not be able to tell if the seller finds something missing. up.

Chu Chen said: "Besides, there are a lot of landmines in our industry. If you don't pay attention, others will set you up with such a trick. When the person leaves, you won't be able to explain why."

"So there is such a saying!" Yuan Hongjian said with a surprised face after hearing it.

Chu Chen nodded with a smile, and then invited Yuan Hongjian into the VIP room. At this time, Uncle Wu was reading a book inside, and Chu Chen introduced them to both of them.

Chu Chen poured Yuan Hongjian a cup of tea, and then said, "Actually, there are quite a lot of rules in our antique industry. I happen to have a book here, and you can always take it back and read it!"

"How embarrassing that is!"

Chu Chen smiled and said, "What's the matter, it's just a book, you can just come back after reading it!"

"Then thank you, Boss Chu!" Yuan Hongjian expressed his gratitude.

At this time, Uncle Wu pointed to what Yuan Hongjian had brought, and asked, "Old man, what did you bring?"

"A sounding jar from the Kangxi period! How do you look at it?" Yuan Hongjian took the thing out of the box with a little satisfaction, and it was a relatively small jar.

The so-called sound tank is a popular name for this kind of shaped porcelain in the Jidong generation. It is said that this is a prop used by small businessmen to attract customers. The specific method of use is to fill the tank with half a tank of water. If it is too full, rubbing the sides of the tank with both hands will produce a louder and louder buzzing sound, and the water in the tank will splash everywhere, which is really beautiful.

In addition, there is another saying that the sound jar is actually a toy. In the past, ladies from rich families could not go out. Unlike now, they have computers to play with and TV to watch. lonely.

As for what's going on, Chu Chen doesn't know much about it, but he knows that this kind of porcelain is a relatively small collection, and many peddlers will use this thing to deceive people. Many people are fooled when they are curious. As for Yuan Hongjian Whether you have been fooled or not, you have to look at things to know, but, Chu Chen thinks the possibility is relatively high.

Yuan Hongjian's sound cylinder is only fifteen centimeters high, and it looks very small and cute.The whole body is painted with blue and white patterns, and only the drums and drums are thundering in the heaven, and the cymbals are struck by lightning.Everyone in the hall heard the thunder and covered their ears, and when the thunder rang, the sky shook.There are thousands of golden lights in the lightning.

After seeing it, Chu Chen and Uncle Wu knew what it was, and it didn't surprise them.

"Old man, do you know what a rattle jar is?" Chu Chen asked.

Yuan Hongjian laughed and said: "It's a jar that can ring. I heard from a friend who also played antiques before that this thing was a book jar for the desk. At that time, I thought it could be knocked with a stick or other metal objects. I don’t think it’s surprising that there is a kind of jar that makes a sound, and I didn’t pay much attention to it. Some time ago, I happened to be at a small stall and saw this kind of thing..."
