Chapter 405: Eye-catching

For Lao Wu's experience and eyesight, Zhou Xuan is still absolutely trustworthy, after his hands, if he can buy it with money, it must be passable, although in this industry, there is no certainty. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Lao Wu is not an ordinary expert can compare, his reputation in the capital antiques is really famous, first in Peking University for decades of archaeology, is the most famous professor of Peking University, in the entire capital, Lao Wu's identification level is at least in the top ten.

You don't have to think about it, no matter which line you go, when you get to the capital, it is a place of concentration, and the antique industry, the capital is the center of the dignitaries and nobles since ancient times, and those involved in this line are not a million people, but there are also 100,000 people, in such a huge number, it can be ranked in the top ten recognized standards, then it is the same as the top martial arts masters in ancient times, and they are all Taishan Beidou in the industry

Therefore, Zhou Xuan basically concluded that Lao Wu's receipt may be fine, and the problem is the latter link, maybe there are people who can't see them getting rich, their eyes are red, and they are jealous.

"Eat and eat, don't talk about things at home, don't worry about this matter if you call it, I'll deal with it" Zhou Xuan immediately beckoned everyone to eat, talking about business on the table will affect everyone's appetite, besides, even if you lose this money, it's not a big deal, three times it is only 10 million, which has no impact on Zhou Xuan.

Now that he has returned to his original position, Zhou Xuan has also been at ease, because the biggest henchman Ma Shu was secretly eliminated by him, in this world, I am afraid that it is difficult to have someone to compete with him, and Zhou Xuan has never worried about making money.

It was the last time I asked ** and Lao Wu to deal with the miniature carvings he handed over to them, the value was incredible, and this kind of miniature carvings that seemed to be priceless to outsiders, in the hands of Zhou Xuan, it was like a piece of change, and it could be made with extraordinary abilities, how much it wanted, and the wealth brought by these miniature carvings was much faster and more direct than any kind of antiques and jade and other things before Zhou Xuan

Sister-in-law Liu got Jin Xiumei's instructions early in the morning, Fu Yuhai is an old man who is nearly 100 years old, don't eat too greasy, make more light dishes, and Sister-in-law Liu also made some light dishes in the countryside, sesame rape, gray ear rabbit wild vegetables, saxifrage, porridge is also a change of tricks, lotus seeds, peanuts, broad bean porridge, pumpkin porridge and so on.

It is both sweet and light, and it is very different from the dishes made by famous chefs that Fu Yuhai eats every day, although it is not as famous as the dishes in his home, but it is also like a small jasper, which naturally attracts people's attention and has a great appetite to eat.

Zhou Xuan gave Zhou Ying another look, asking her to stop talking about business, and the family was happily eating.

After eating, Zhou Xuan went to the antique shop alone, although Fu Ying personally admitted the marriage, but Zhou Xuan always felt that he and Fu Ying were not as close as before, and it seemed that there was some distance between the two people.

Before going out, Fu Ying stopped Zhou Xuan, stretched out his hand, and said, "Zhou Xuan, can you take these two diamonds and let your craftsmen make a pair of rings?" ”

Fu Ying's white and soft palm turned open, and there were two huge diamonds in the palm, and the natural light in the hall penetrated through, and the surface of the diamonds emitted colorful refraction

Zhou Xuan was stunned, these two diamonds are so big, that is, all the recorded diamonds in history are not as big as these two diamonds, this is obviously obtained from the bottom of the skylight cave, but I haven't seen Fu Ying dig diamonds from the rock cave wall?

"Okay, I'll take it over and let the company's craftsmen do it, but I'll pick a few design styles and come back for you to see, and then choose what style to do, anyway, I'm not in a hurry for half a day."

Zhou Xuan took the diamond and put it in his pocket, and didn't ask her when she picked the two diamonds, after he disappeared in a week, the family hasn't traced the reason for him, if the matter at the bottom of the skylight cave comes out, it will be terrible, first of all, my mother will not spare him.

Fortunately, only the three of them escaped from the people who went to the bottom of the skylight cave, Wei Xiaoyu and Fu Ying are not the kind of talkative people, and they also know the benefits of this matter, and they will never say it to scare their families.

Zhou Ying gave Li Wei a look, and then pouted at Zhou Xuan's back, Li Wei smiled, raised his hand and said, "Okay, okay, I'll go with you, be a coachman and a driver for your brother, okay?" ”

Zhou Ying snorted lightly and said, "That's what you should, you're embarrassed to say it."

Li Wei smiled, quickly escaped from the door, went out and drove his Audi A4 to chase after him, Zhou Xuan had not yet walked out of the community, Li Wei caught up with him, stopped the car, turned around and opened the door on the other side, and shouted: "Brother Xuan, get in the car, I'll go with you."

Zhou Xuan looked at Li Wei, smiled, and didn't excuse himself, so he got into the car.

Zhou Xuan's own car has not yet arrived, there is only a Bugatti Veyron sent by Brother Hong at home, and there is an Audi mini from Fu Ying, driving that Bugatti Veyron is too dazzling, and Zhou Xuan's technology is not up to par, although the driver's license is obtained, but I still want to practice more before driving by myself, and when the car ordered by the 4S store arrives, it is almost good to practice the technology at that time.

Li Wei drove the car out of Hongcheng Garden, and only after getting on the road did he ask: "Brother Xuan, there seems to be something wrong with the beautiful sister-in-law today, and I don't know what's going on, I just feel unnatural, you have to coax the beautiful sister-in-law better, the sister-in-law is so good to you that she is to the bone."

Zhou Xuan said angrily: "Drive your car, do your own thing, and think about helping me blow my porridge before it is cold."

Li Wei is a person who can speak very well, and he was about to say it when he opened his mouth, but suddenly remembered that Zhou Xuan was his brother-in-law, and he couldn't joke, so he swallowed the words that came to his mouth back into his stomach

During this period of time, Li Wei followed Zhou Ying to work in the antique shop, and he was also a formal worker, but Li Wei was not as arrogant and domineering as other ** in the store, and he was mixed with the small workers in the store, talking and laughing all day long, and the work was also serious, and those workers also knew that Li Wei was Zhou Ying's fiancé and one of the owners of this shop.

Zhou Xuan's family is in this store, but later his brother Zhou Tao and Zhou Tao's girlfriend Li Li were transferred to the jewelry store, and now Li Wei and his sister Zhou Ying have been transferred, and only his father Zhou Cangsong is left in this store.

Because Zhou Cangsong is old and has no culture, it is obviously not suitable for a jewelry company, and he is now accustomed to and likes the work of the antique shop, and he is full of interest and has a sense of accomplishment when he comes to the store every day.

To be honest, when Zhou Xuan wanted to open this shop in the past, their family was not optimistic, because they didn't know anything about the antique industry, and the investment was not small, and it was not a small amount of money, but after the store was opened, the business became bigger and bigger day by day, and the money he made him dare not imagine, doing orange fields in his hometown, only earning thirty or forty thousand a year, but now, any business will make millions, and some low-priced items bought back by his son Zhou Xuan did not expect to change hands to be more than 10 million, or even more than 100 million. This made him unimaginable, and now when he came to the store, he no longer had to worry about whether he made money or not.

And Zhou Xuan privately told his parents, brothers and sisters at home that those miniature carvings worth hundreds of millions of dollars are actually his things, Zhou Cangsong's head is big, and his son's property can't be counted from hundreds of millions with his fingers

As soon as he saw his son come to the store, Zhou Cangsong made a pot of tea by himself and asked him to sit down in the room, Lao Wu also followed up, and said with a wry smile: "Xiao Zhou, this time I don't know if it was my old Wu who knocked us out or someone else wanted to blackmail us, in short, there was a dispute."

Zhou Xuan smiled and said: "Wu Lao, don't think about it, this matter is a trivial matter, the so-called gold has no bare feet, no one is perfect, even if there is an eye, it is normal, not to mention that this matter has not been figured out, that is, it is indeed determined that it is an eye, the responsibility is ours, then we will earn him 10 million, it's not a big deal, Wu Lao has made far more money than this amount for our store, how can we still care about this little thing?" ”

Zhou Cangsong's heart is also put down, Lao Wu is the technician of this store, except for some special things that Zhou Xuan did, in the store, his contribution is actually the largest, this time it is indeed a trouble, if you want to lose, it will be 10 million, this number will make countless people bankrupt to death, such a large amount of money, Zhou Cangsong is not sure what his son will think, but now when he sees his son say this, he is relieved, his son has made so much money, even if he loses this money, it is nothing.

"Old Wu, you first tell me about the cause of this matter, and then I want to find someone to help" Zhou Xuan asked calmly after letting them relax.

Lao Wu himself has a wide range of connections, but now this matter is embarrassing to let him go out to find someone in the relationship, because it is related to his reputation, a master national expert, if he is fooled, it will be a great blow to his reputation, so he did not say anything about it.

And Zhou Xuan also understands this truth, he just wants to make a decision after figuring things out, but in any case, he has to take into account Lao Wu's reputation first before doing anything else, even if he finds out that Lao Wu is indeed deceived, then it will be a loss of money.

Zhou Cangsong poured a cup of tea for each of the two of them, Lao Wu took a sip, and then said: "It was a month and a half ago to receive this item, and it was a middle-aged woman named Jiang Yu'e who came to sell paintings, because those who do our business understand that many of them have hidden feelings, in view of the fact that the guests' ** problems are taken into account, so we don't ask the question of people's origins, when she gave me the painting, when I appraised it, I recognized it at a glance as the painting of the contemporary famous painter Mr. Luo Baishan, because I myself have a friendship with Luo Lao and know his paintings, so I recognized it at a glance, and then carefully identified, it was confirmed that it was Lao Luo's authentic handiwork, in recent years, Lao Luo's name is very loud, and his paintings are also very distinctive, it is poetry and painting, magnificent, the year before Lao Luo's painting was auctioned in Hong Kong for a high price of 540,000 US dollars, it is a poem painting of the same length"

Zhou Xuan naturally didn't have much to say about Lao Wu's identification technology, if it wasn't for his own ability, then he wouldn't be qualified to lift Lao Wu's shoes, so he didn't speak, and quietly waited for Lao Wu to continue.

"Xiao Zhou, you also know that we open a store to do business, pay attention to a matter of profit, since ancient times to do antique jade business pawn shop antique shop, that is low price in high price out, and antique industry, since ancient times also pay attention to cash trading, buy and leave, true or false conceit, and now the antique market is very prosperous, but the items in the market are almost nine fake and one true, and even more are fakes, none of them are true"

Lao Wu sighed and said, the current cultural relics market is indeed like this, the country's politics. The strategy is also to fight the truth and not the fake, and if you are fooled, you have to think that you are unlucky

"So I asked the woman surnamed Jiang how much she wanted, and asked her to make a price by herself, and she made a whole price of one million herself, although this price was worth buying at the time, and there were more than twice the profits, but we did business, and we paid attention to the competition for profits, although the price she offered was lower than I imagined, then I still had to bargain with her again, and after some price comparison, I finally sold at a price of 760,000 yuan."

Zhou Xuan is actually very relieved, Lao Wu's skills and abilities are trustworthy, and he can bargain for an item worth millions to 760,000, which is already a great ability, because the other party, that is, the woman surnamed Jiang, knows that the painting is valuable.

Lao Wu said again: "The woman surnamed Jiang knew that this painting was valuable, but she only said the price of one million, and after saying the price, it was as low as 760,000 yuan. ”

After talking about the process of buying the painting, Lao Wu frowned and took a sip of tea, and then said: "But the woman named Jiang Yu'e has another condition, that is, because she needs cash urgently, she was forced to sell this painting, but she liked this painting very much, so she invited the painter to copy a copy, but she needed to take the original painting to use it on the spot, so she asked us to bring the painting to her house every day, and then bring it back after the painting was finishedWe went for a total of nine days, and it took nine days for the person she asked to make this painting, and during these nine days, I was closely guarding the painting, and I brought your dad with me when I went over."

Speaking of this, Zhou Cangsong also hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, I go with Lao Wu every day, the paintings are all rolled up and placed in the painting tube, I watch Lao Wu rest when I am watching, Lao Wu guards when I rest, there is no problem."

Zhou Xuan immediately understood, most of the problems were in this place, but he didn't ask directly, but said: "Old Wu, how did you find out later?" Who did you have a dispute with? ”

Lao Wu took a few breaths, and said with some resentment: "The back is that we entrusted the Brilliant Auction House to auction, because the Brilliant Auction House is our old relationship, and we are acquaintances, my things have not been reviewed by experts in the past, but directly auctioned, in the auction at a price of 3.66 million by a buyer named Zhao Chengzhi, after the auction, that Zhao Chengzhi directly transferred the full amount to us by bank transfer, I feel that this person doesn't seem to care about the painting at all, Instead, he just came to auction and buy the goods, and he didn't spend much time looking at the painting from beginning to end, but he was very careful when he signed the purchase contract in the end. ”。

Lao Wu squinted his eyes and recalled the situation at that time, "In the auction house, a contract will be signed after the sale and purchase transaction, that is, a contract between the auctioneer and the buyer, that is, if it is a fake, the seller will have to pay the buyer one to several times the original purchase price, so the auction house has to ask experts to verify the authenticity of the item when auctioning each item, and I was originally one of the experts they hired. Generally, the two parties negotiate by themselves, if the seller is sure that his goods are genuine, it doesn't matter how much he pays, because it is genuine, then it is impossible to pay, and I signed with that Zhao Zhicheng is three times the compensation"

"As a result, four days after the auction ended, that Zhao Chengzhi suddenly came to our antique shop, saying that it was identified by experts, and the painting we sold him was a fake, and I asked him to show me the painting, I wondered when I saw it, this painting is real, it is the original painting I identified, the painting is not fake, so I argued with him, we are each holding their own opinions, that Zhao Chengzhi was very angry, saying that he was going to the court to sue us, I was heartbroken, to solve this problem, I still broke his mind best, I told Zhao Chengzhi, asked him to leave his phone number, I went to ask the original author of the painting, Mr. Luo Baishan, to testify, that Zhao Chengzhi agreed at the time, said okay, if Mr. Luo himself came to prove that the painting is fake, then he has nothing to say, admit bad luck."

When Lao Wu said this, his expression suddenly became silent, and he sighed: "The result is bad in the back, Mr. Luo and I are old friends, I invited him to come, as soon as he said it on the phone, he agreed without saying a word, after discussing the time, I immediately notified Zhao Chengzhi again, after the appointed time came, after Luo Lao came over, he began to open the picture scroll in front of Zhao Chengzhi to identify"

Looking at Lao Wu's silent expression, Zhou Xuan asked, "What did Lao Luo say?" ”

Lao Wu shook his head and said: "Luo Lao only looked at it for a while, then shook his head and said that this painting was not painted by him, I understand this, every painter or calligrapher will leave some unique secret marks after his works are done, others can't see it, but the author himself can see it at a glance."

Although Luo Baishan and Lao Wu are old friends, they are not ambiguous at all in the face of the authenticity of their own works, and Lao Wu absolutely believes that Luo Baishan is telling the truth.

And now the situation is that either Lao Wu will obediently pay 10 million to Zhao Chengzhi silently because of his reputation and face, or he will tear his face with Zhao Chengzhi and fight a lawsuit, but now Luo Baishan has personally said that this painting was not painted by him, it is a fake painting, and he also believes what Luo Baishan said, but Luo Baishan These painters and calligraphers have their own secrets such as secret codes, and they will not tell outsiders, so Lao Wu will not go to Luo Baishan to get to the bottom of it.

In this way, if there is a lawsuit, Lao Wu will almost lose, and whether he loses the lawsuit or not is still a trivial matter, but Lao Wu's reputation can be said to be ruined.

After Zhou Xuan listened to Lao Wu's narration, he groaned, Lao Wu's words made him feel that this seemed to have fallen into a trap, and after thinking about it, he asked: "Old Wu, can you still find the woman surnamed Jiang?" ”

Lao Wu said distressedly: "It's this problem that bothers me, after Zhao Chengzhi was ready to sue me, I thought of finding the woman surnamed Jiang to find out, but after finding out according to Ms. Jiang's address before, it was already someone else's family living there, I inquired, but said that the house was rented, and it was temporarily rented to a middle-aged woman before, and the landlord said that because of the high price, it was only rented for a short period of time, almost less than ten days, but the rent was two months' rent." ”

Linking these doubts together, Zhou Xuan suddenly understood a little, this is a trap, the most important thing now is to find this woman surnamed Jiang, if you find her, then the matter will be easier to solve, of course, this may also be the woman's pseudonym, to find her, I'm afraid it will be difficult

Lao Wu's antique appraisal skills are very high, and he is also very experienced, but if these life experiences, then he is inferior to others, in his opinion, if he wants to find this woman surnamed Jiang without being known by outsiders, it is almost impossible, and the only way to calm things is to compensate Zhao Chengzhi 10 million yuan.

After thinking about it, Zhou Xuan smiled and said: "Old Wu, you don't have to worry about this, leave it to me, I promise to satisfy Old Wu" Saying that, Zhou Xuan said to Old Wu again, "Old Wu, what about that painting?" Is it with us or with that Zhao Chengzhi? ”

"Of course it's with Zhao Chengzhi," Lao Wu replied with a sigh, "Zhao Chengzhi didn't do anything with the painting, and he certainly didn't change the painting, I believe that."

Zhou Xuan smiled and said: "Of course he won't do anything else, because the painting is fake, he naturally doesn't have to work hard anymore, Wu Lao, I need to see that painting in person, no matter what the reason is, can you arrange it?" ”

Lao Wu nodded, and after a long silence, he said: "Just tell Zhao Chengzhi that you need to appraise that painting again and let him bring it."

Zhou Xuan smiled slightly, at present, it seems that the woman named Jiang Yu'e must be the one who set the trap, but I am not sure if Zhao Chengzhi and this woman surnamed Jiang are in a group, if it is not a group, then it is just Jiang Yu'e's casual behavior, Lao Wu is just fooled, or it may be that he secretly changed it when Jiang Yu'e was a fake, but if Zhao Chengzhi is in a gang with Jiang Yu'e, it is a designed serial trap and a well-designed scam

Zhou Xuan pondered, from the current point of view, Zhao Chengzhi and Jiang Yu'e have no connection on the surface, but whether Zhao Chengzhi has a connection with Jiang Yu'e or not, it has to be decided after he sees the painting, which requires his special ability to detect.

It is necessary to detect whether there are any traces left by Jiang Yu'e from the fake painting, because this painting is a very precious item, worth millions, such a valuable thing must be touched by few people, as long as there are few people in contact, Zhou Xuan can detect the image of the contact person from above.

But if there are too many people in contact, the breath will be too much and too mixed, and Zhou Xuan may not be able to detect it, but now the most likely thing is to find clues from this painting, which is also a gamble.

If he can't find the clues of Jiang Yu'e from the fake painting, Zhou Xuan is ready to find Fu Yuanshan again, if he uses the power of the public security to find Jiang Yu'e, it will naturally be half the effort, and there is no need to worry about revealing the secret of Lao Wu's deception.

At this moment, Zhou Xuan had already set the next few steps to take, and after thinking about it, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised, when did he have this kind of careful thinking ability?

Lao Wu saw Zhou Xuan bowing his head and pondering, and immediately took his mobile phone to call Zhao Chengzhi, on the phone, as soon as Zhao Chengzhi heard what Lao Wu meant, he immediately agreed, saying that if he wanted to appraise it, he would do it well, and he didn't want to waste any more time, so he would come over immediately, anyway, what Lao Wu needed, he tried his best to cooperate, hoping that Lao Wu could compensate him for the loss as soon as possible.

After Lao Wu hung up the phone, he said to Zhou Xuan: "Xiao Zhou, Zhao Chengzhi said that he would rush over with the painting immediately."

Zhou Xuan nodded, "Well, I'll wait for him to come over, Wu Lao, when the time comes, you will say that I am a painter, and I will pass it over, don't care what Zhao Chengzhi thinks, I just need to take a look at the painting."

Lao Wu agreed, but he still had some doubts in his heart, although Zhou Xuan had many strange things, and he couldn't guess it, but if he said that the skills and experience of appraising calligraphy and painting were probably not as good as his, Zhou Xuan could make a difference if he looked at that painting again?

Although he couldn't figure it out, Lao Wu still threw away the topic, and if he couldn't do it, he would lose 10 million in cash, although he was not very rich, but 10 million or 20 million for him, so many years of praise, it was still more than these amounts, and it was not too difficult to take it out.

Lao Wu took out another passbook and handed it to Zhou Xuan, and said: "Xiao Zhou, this is the money you sold for the other eleven miniature carvings, a total of 3.7 billion were sold, excluding the commission and 10% of our antique shop, there are still 3.16 billion left."

"Three hundred and sixty million?" Zhou Xuanyi heard the number that Lao Wu said, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, this was really unexpected by him, he never took these micro carvings seriously, although he knew that this thing was worth a lot of money the previous time, but he didn't care very much, and now Lao Wu brought such a large sum of cash to him, but he was really surprised

And after the commission was drawn, nn's, the commission was drawn so much, fortunately, 10% of the cash fell to their own antique shop, 10 percent, that is 370 million, which almost doubled the total assets of the antique shop, an antique shop, no one could have imagined that in just a few months, the total assets from more than 10 million before to more than 700 million
