Chapter 920 Sudden Thoughts

Seeing Lao Xia walking away in a daze, Gu Gongyi shook his head and sighed: "My friend is a brainless person. I told him before that if he wants to collect it, he should start researching from the porcelain pieces. Don't talk about big things with a small amount of money. The porcelain pieces are fake. The possibility is also relatively small. But it’s not that I didn’t remind him that the tiles are not fake at all, so let him be more careful. I didn’t expect that he suffered a loss last time, and he was still so careless this time.”

"Rookies, that's how they all come here."

Chu Chen smiled slightly. It is a common thing to be cheated in the antique business. Therefore, every time he went to Mr. Liu, Mr. Liu would tell him every time, "The idea of ​​'cracking down on counterfeiting' in his head is not for a moment. Can't relax."

In addition, as long as you have the idea of ​​"cracking down on fakes", logical thinking is also very important. Let's say that Lao Xia's slap this time, even when Chu Chen first entered the industry, would not be fooled. The reason is simple. We usually go to the ground to break It is not easy to recombine a bowl, let alone porcelain from thousands of years ago?
Chu Chen felt that the porcelain pieces that Lao Xia bought might be the imitators who put the imitation porcelain in sacks and broke them, and then sold them to him along with the sacks.

After chatting for a few more words, Chu Chen made an appointment with Gu Gongyi to meet tomorrow, and then he said goodbye and prepared to go back to the hotel.

After getting in the car, Wu Ke said with some emotion: "Ah Chen, fortunately, no one dares to provoke you now, otherwise your treasures would not be easy to keep. You said, in this society, people like to be jealous of others." Yes, why are there so many?"

Chu Chen said with a smile: "Anyway, if I don't have the strength, I will give up some things for my own safety. Besides, if I am an ordinary person, then the good things will only be enjoyed by myself."

"You can see it."

Chu Chen smiled slightly. He didn't take it lightly, but he deeply understood that this society is like this, you can only adapt, don't try to change, or you will definitely be hit and blooded.

Of course, today's incident also touched him deeply. It turns out that people can be so shameless for their own benefit, and vividly interpreted what it means to commit a crime, and there is no reason to worry about it.

This made him firmer in his determination to hide the ability. After all, strictly speaking, in this world, what one person knows is a secret, but if two people know it, it is no longer a secret.The matter of supernatural abilities is not only related to his own safety, no matter what, he has to be extremely careful.

Early the next morning, everyone packed their luggage, and Hu Yong drove Chu Chen and Wu Ke to Chu Chen's kiln factory.

Going straight to the reception room, Chu Chen did not expect that Du Hou and Qian Lao had arrived early. At this time, they were chatting and laughing with Gu Gongyi about antique porcelain. After Chu Chen came in, he talked with them. He said hello and joined in.

Since Chu Chen was in a hurry, after chatting for a while, everyone began to discuss the establishment of the laboratory. In this regard, Chu Chen is a layman, so most of the time, other people are talking, Chu Chen is recording, and finally formed A relatively complete plan.

Chu Chen said with a smile: "Well, I plan to invest 1000 million in the laboratory in advance, but I'm really not very good at this, so I can only temporarily be a shopkeeper."

Du Hou smiled and waved his hands and said, "I'm getting old, and I don't have much energy to take care of this matter. I'll be responsible for making some suggestions then. In addition, if you need my help, you can tell me. I will definitely help as much as I can.”

Qian Lao smiled and nodded, indicating that he also meant the same thing.

Considering that Gu Gongyi was originally going to be responsible for this matter, Chu Chen smiled and said: "Old Gu, it seems that this matter can only be entrusted to you. If there are any difficulties and requests, you can just mention them."

Gu Gongyi said solemnly: "Yes, I will try my best to handle this matter well..."

There was no problem in the laboratory, so Chu Chen discussed the remuneration with Du Hou and Mr. Qian, and then signed the contract. The brothers still have to settle accounts clearly. When it comes to money, Chu Chen has always taken it seriously. of.

In the end, Chu Chen explained to Liu Yushu again, asking him to deal with the expansion of the kiln as soon as possible. After all, based on the current scale of the kiln, it is too small to set up a laboratory.

After explaining everything, Chu Chen was about to leave and went to the airport. Gu Gongyi had some things to do at home, and he was about to leave. It happened that the direction was the same, so he took the same car with Chu Chen and the others.

After getting in the car, Chu Chen saw Gu Gongyi's hesitant expression, and he had been frowning since he came out, so he asked with a smile: "Old Gu, is there something on your mind? Tell me, Let me help you solve it."

Gu Gongyi smiled shyly and said, "Actually, it's nothing, I just feel a little stressed?"

"A lot of pressure?" Chu Chen felt a little strange when he heard this. He didn't mention any hard and fast rules on the establishment of the laboratory just now.

Gu Gongyi scratched his head and said, "Boss, you also know that the research on antique porcelain is a costly job. What if we spend a lot of money and make little profit, what should we do?"

Chu Chen smiled and said, "There's no need to worry about this. Now is the time for us to invest, and we should burn money. Otherwise, where will the output be in the future?"

Gu Gongyi chuckled and said, "Actually, I also know about this, it's just..."

"What is it?"

"It feels like you've invested too much money."

Chu Chen was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Why, you are not scared by this little money, are you?"

"To be honest, I'm really scared." Gu Gongyi said with an embarrassed smile: "I thought you invested at most 500 million yuan, but I didn't expect you to invest a full 1000 million yuan. I was a little worried. I don't know the laboratory The research results, when will there be so much profit."

After hearing this, Chu Chen laughed, and said, "Old Gu, don't worry about it now. Didn't I tell you about the plan to build a specialty store in the future? As long as the customers approve it, the profit of 1000 million will be completely guaranteed. It's a trivial matter..."

Speaking of this, a flash of inspiration flashed in Chu Chen's mind. He thought about it secretly, and then said: "Old Gu, I wonder if you have studied the three-color pottery?"

Gu Gongyi nodded and said: "Yes, the three-color pottery I studied at the beginning is not for bragging, the three-color pottery I made can be completely fake, even if they break it, it is difficult to find the flaws in it. "

Hearing this, Chu Chen asked curiously: "In this case, why didn't I see a few pieces of three-color pottery at your place yesterday?"

Gu Gongyi spread his hands and said: "Isn't it true that there are relatively few pottery collectors in our country? Even the famous Tang Sancai is very popular, but because the imitation technology of Tang Sancai is very mature, some masters imitate Tang Sancai. This has also led to a situation where domestic applause is not well-received."

"Besides, I don't intend to make deceitful things. In the market, people generally only buy antique porcelain. As for high imitation pottery, few people will buy it. After I fired a few pieces, I found that no one bought it. Not doing it."

Speaking of this, Gu Gongyi somewhat thought of what Chu Chen meant by asking, and said, "Boss, you don't intend to let me make high-quality imitation three-color pottery, do you? I'm not very good at it!"

Chu Chen said with a smile: "Old Gu, listen to me first. I told you to imitate the three-color pottery. It's not to deceive people in our country, but to go to foreign markets to make a fortune. Moreover, I Taking things to foreign markets is also to exchange for the porcelain that our country has lost abroad, if it is only for money, I will not do this kind of thing.”

"This..." Gu Gongyi actually had the potential to be an angry youth, so after hearing what Chu Chen said, his heart began to move, but he still had some concerns in his heart, so he didn't immediately agree.

Seeing Gu Gongyi's embarrassed expression, Chu Chen said, "Old Gu, since you don't want to, then forget it."

Do you still remember Nan Nancai, the owner of the antique shop that Chu Chen met in France?

After Chu Chen returned to China, the two have not lost contact. A while ago, Nan Nan took a few photos of Ming and Qing official kiln porcelain and sent them to Chu Chen from the Internet, asking him if he was interested. If Chu Chen wanted to If he wanted, he could send it to Chu Chen by courier, and Chu Chen would pay after identifying the authenticity.

At that time, Chu Chen joked with a smile, Nan Nan did this, don't you worry that he won't pay for the goods?However, Nan Nan expressed generously that he believed that Chu Chen's character would not give up long-term cooperation for this benefit.

Of course, Chu Chen would not destroy such a channel. Although Nan Nan’s price was only a slight discount on the normal market price, it is definitely incomparable with picking up leaks, but it can bring cultural relics living abroad back to China. He is still quite happy, otherwise what would he use so much money for, could he still bring it into the coffin?

Closer to home, the reason why Chu Chen came up with the idea just now is because Nan Nan has a channel to deal with it. You must know that Nan Nan has a background in the local underworld. How can such a person not get involved in some gray things? zone?As for pretending to be real and selling it, it is even more trivial to him.

Nan Nancai also vaguely mentioned this point in the communication with Chu Chen.

Because of this, Chu Chen wanted to exchange the high imitation ceramics made by Gu Gongyi for some cultural relics that had been scattered from home to abroad.The origin of many foreign porcelains is not glorious at all, and Chu Chen has no burden in his heart to do this kind of thing.

Hearing what Chu Chen said, Gu Gongyi quickly said: "Boss, I have made it all right, but more and more people in our country are going abroad to buy antiques. What if they buy the high imitation I made? , I’m still very sorry.”

Chu Chen said with a smile: "That's why I plan to only make some three-color pottery. Our countrymen don't like to collect these things very much. Foreigners like this kind of things very much."
