Chapter 37 Finding the Most Valuable Antiques
Xie Jiacheng really didn't believe it, his eyebrows moved, hehe sneered, and then said slowly: "Good eyesight, good technology, I can still see that my watch is an old Japanese movement, hehe, sue you, my watch is a Swiss famous watch bought in a supermarket store, and it cost more than 70,000 yuan, you say it is a fake of Japanese movements?" ”
Zhou Nan's uncle is called Xie Jiashan, the second uncle is called Xie Jiabao, the three brothers don't believe it, and several aunts and uncles also laughed sarcastically, even Zhou Nan didn't believe it, because her brother-in-law is a businessman, and his favorite thing is to talk about style, from head to foot on his body, all of them are famous brands, this watch, Zhang Can is afraid that he will look away!
However, the old lady was quiet, which made Zhang Can also feel that in this family, although the old lady was seventy or eighty years old, she was by no means an ordinary person.
"Nannan, you say it's a boyfriend, it's a boyfriend, and you use the excuse that what is an antique appraiser, your uncle's watch was bought with me, there is an invoice and a warranty, how can it be said to be fake?"
After Zhou Nan's aunt brought the tea, she stared at Zhou Nan and asked.
Zhou Nan's face turned red and said angrily: "Little aunt, he ...... He's really an appraiser, a great ......."
Just seeing that his uncle and aunt were all in disbelief, Zhou Nan hurriedly took out the jewelry box in the satchel, and then respectfully handed it to the old lady: "Grandma, my mother and my father asked me to bring you gifts on their behalf, my father has an important meeting, and my mother can't come on a business trip to other provinces......"
Zhou Nan's uncles all snorted, and the second aunt couldn't help but say: "Nannan, it's not that the second aunt said that your parents, in the past few years, your parents haven't been able to show up for several years on your grandmother's birthday, and the official is getting bigger and bigger, but this shelf, hehe, is also getting bigger and bigger, right?" ”
Xie Jiacheng slapped his watch on the coffee table, stared at Zhang Can and said, "Do you know what annoys me the most?" I'm most annoyed that people say that my things are fake, tens of thousands of dollars are nothing, I opened this watch in front of you, look at the consequences of your lie, I can sue you, I want to please Nannan, don't talk about her parents' level, it's our level, you can't pass, open, open the table! ”
Zhang Can didn't expect it to look like this, thought about it, and then lifted his bag and put it on the coffee table, and said lightly: "Mr. Xie, I don't have the thoughts you said, I'm here, it's just Zhou Nan's request, if you're not happy, I can leave immediately, if you're just for the authenticity of this watch, then I can help you make sure that this watch is indeed fake, but if you want to identify it, you must open the watch, I think when you buy a watch, there must be regulations in the store, and you open the watch in private, and the store won't admit it, So I have two mentions, the correct way to protect rights, that is, to take the table and invoice to the store to dismantle the meter in person, and then ask for compensation, the second method, that is, you don't care about this money, this can be identified on the spot now, the table can be dismantled to detect the authenticity, but after the table is opened, it is difficult to get compensation from the store! ”
Xie Jiacheng was a little angry, Zhang Can repeatedly insisted that his watch was a fake, even in front of his own brother and mother, he couldn't get over that face, slapped his hand, and said angrily: "Open, open it immediately, isn't it just seventy or eighty thousand yuan, you open, I don't want you to be responsible for the truth or falsehood, I want to verify that you are lying, pretending, or really have that technical eyesight!" ”
Xie Jiacheng is bent on making Zhang Can embarrassed, let Zhang Can show his true face in front of Zhou Nan, and make a fool of himself on the spot, so that Zhou Nan will die, in this family, everyone in the Xie family knows Zhou Nan's character, soft on the outside and strong on the inside, arrogant, she can bring herself to her grandmother's house, especially on her grandmother's birthday, can this be simple? Although she had already said that Zhang Can was an appraiser, no one took it seriously and almost didn't believe it.
The old lady believed a little bit alone, but still in calm thinking, Zhang Can just explained the characteristics and value of her bracelet, said it very professionally, but some people with common sense can also say that the bracelet is a surface object, different from other antiques, the identification of jade, for professionals, is much easier than antiques, so Zhang Can explained well, but it does not mean that he is an appraisal master.
Zhang Can pressed Xie Jiacheng tightly, looked at Zhou Nan, thought about it and said: "That's it, Mr. Xie, I have more than 200,000 yuan in cash, and your watch is 78,000, then I will put 78,000 as collateral and open this watch, if the movement in the watch is an old Japanese movement, not a Swiss original movement, even if Mr. Xie loses himself, is this good?" ”
"Good!"
Xie Jiacheng agreed, Zhang Can mentioned that on the bag on the coffee table, a pile of thick hundred-yuan bills was obviously exposed, since Zhang Can himself was willing to do this, it would be more in line with his mind, but just like that, his impression of Zhang Can has changed a little, and he feels that Zhang Can is not like a gentleman, and he does not have those annoying tempers.
However, opening a watch requires some subtle tools, and no one in the Xie family understands this, only finding a wire knife at home, and can't dismantle the watch, so you need to get the special tools for buying clocks and watches in the supermarket downstairs.
Xie Jiacheng immediately called his son over and asked him to go down to buy it, Xie Yong smiled and asked his father to give a few hundred yuan more, and extorted a tip before going.
The old lady really felt that Zhang Can was not simple, thought about it, and said with a smile: "Xiao Zhang, since you are an appraisal of antiques, you are fine sitting anyway, just show me a few pieces!" ”
Zhang Can did not object, and smiled and motioned for the old lady to take it out.
The old lady smiled and said: "Xiao Zhang, my old man is an antique collector, all his life, there are more than 100 things, large and small, some are valuable, and some are not very valuable, there are some in this living room, I will test your eyesight, you take a look for yourself, see what is the most valuable, in this living room." ”
The old lady then said to her sons and daughters-in-law: "You can also estimate, I have never mentioned to you, there are actually many things in this living room that were placed by your father, and after your father left, I did not touch his decorations, you can also take a look." ”
The three sons and three daughters-in-law also know that the deceased father's favorite is antiques and antiques, but they are not good at this, almost antique blind, at this time the old lady asked them to look at it together, this house is very familiar, don't look at it and think about what is the most valuable?
Zhang Can stood up with a smile and slowly looked around the living room, the wall and the surrounding furnishings.
The old lady's three sons and three daughters-in-law are all rushing to the calligraphy and paintings on the wall, in their minds, antiques, in addition to the porcelain of the altar jar, the others should be famous calligraphy and painting, the porcelain in this living room is nothing, just a few vases with flower arrangements, but this vase is bought by Xie Jiacheng's wife in the flower market, but it is not a thing left by the old man, so it can be ruled out, so that they all care about the eight calligraphy and paintings on the wall.
Zhang Can looked around, smiled slightly, and didn't speak.
Seeing that Zhang Can seemed to be confident, the old lady didn't ask him first, but asked her sons and daughters-in-law: "Are you optimistic?" If you look at it, it's up to you to talk about it, and in order to arouse some interest to you, if any of you recognize which one of the most valuable antiques, I will give it to whom! ”
This made Zhou Nan's three uncles and aunts happy, Zhou Nan was coquettish beside the old lady, shook the old lady's arm and said: "Grandma, you are so partial, why don't you give me this reward for your uncle and aunt?" ”
The old lady smiled and said, "Okay, you little girl ghost elf, okay, you can also recognize it with your uncle and aunt, as long as you find the most valuable one, I will give it to you." ”
Xie Jiashan turned his head and said to the old lady: "Mom, this is a bit inappropriate, our three brothers, the second and third, the second sister and the third sister, plus Nannan, there are a total of seven people, and they all have to be selected on the same item, so how to divide it?" ”
The old lady smiled and said, "There are so many things, don't choose the same thing, but I can tell you, hehe, don't be too happy, I'm afraid that none of you can find the most valuable thing." ”
There are six calligraphy and paintings on the wall, there are several jade carving ornaments on the desk next to it, and there is a pen holder, all made of jade, Xie Jiashan, Xie Jiabao, Xie Jiacheng brothers and husband and wife are all going to those jade ornaments and the calligraphy and paintings on the wall.
And Zhou Nan muttered and looked around, not following a few uncles and aunts, because she felt that her grandmother had already said that it was not easy to find, and several uncles and aunts ran over directly, according to the ideas of ordinary people, they were all running for calligraphy and painting and jade, so Zhou Nan felt that those calligraphy and paintings and jade ornaments were unlikely to be the most valuable, but look at this living room, there was nothing else, frowned, not those few, so what is it?
Zhou Nan secretly glanced at Zhang Can, Zhang Can smiled slightly with his hands behind his back, when he saw Zhou Nan looking at him, the corners of his mouth were slightly nuisant, Zhou Nan's heart moved, and he looked in the direction of the corners of his mouth, there was a corner of the wall, and there was a coffee table made of big tree roots in the corner, and a set of purple ceramic teacups and teapots were placed on the table, and a red painted chair was placed on both sides of the root coffee table.
Zhou Nan was stunned, these things hit her before she was sensible and saw them, when she was a child, she didn't drink tea, and she felt a little bitter, but these things were known to be there when her grandfather was alive, could it be that the tea set was the most valuable?
Because my grandfather and grandmother used that tea set to drink tea, no one thought it was strange, and they didn't pay attention to it, and my uncle and aunt rarely drank the kung fu tea that my grandfather liked, and most of the time I was out to earn money, and even when I came back, I didn't sit there and drink tea with my grandfather.
The more Zhou Nan thought about it, the more he felt that the tea set was purple ceramic, could it be the legendary "purple clay pot"? I've heard that it's also a valuable antique, so it's the one!
The old lady didn't ask Zhang Can first, Zhang Can must know more than his sons and daughters-in-law, although his sons make a lot of money in business, but they don't understand antiques, let alone three daughters-in-law.
"Are you guys optimistic? Let's talk about it! ”
The old lady smiled and waved to a few people, asking them all to go over and talk, Zhang Can and Zhou Nan also walked over and sat down, but Zhang Can didn't speak, waiting for Zhou Nan and her uncle and aunt to say first.
Xie Jiashan had the loudest voice, and took the lead in saying: "Mom, let me say it first, I think the second painting is the most valuable, you see, there are eight horses on the painting, how well the horse is painted, the whole body is strong, lifelike, Mom, do you say?" ”
