Chapter 506: Because Ya is rich
"I see, understandable." After listening to Lin Zheng's explanation, Uncle Liu nodded suddenly in understanding.
Lin Zheng doesn't know much about antiques, this has been seen when Uncle Liu accompanied Lin Zheng into this treasure room, understand is understand, don't understand is not understand, this point in antique collection and appreciation can not be faked at all, Uncle Liu has served the Cai family for so many years, he is a very experienced and knowledgeable antique collector and connoisseur, many times Cai Chennan even has to ask him for advice, the level can be imagined.
Lin Zheng's reaction after entering the treasure room fell into Uncle Liu's eyes, and the experienced Uncle Liu knew at a glance that Lin Zheng had no knowledge of antiques, and at this moment Lin Zheng's reaction made him suddenly realize: Nine times out of ten, this guy is here for these four bronze heads.
However, anyone who sees a treasure that can only be seen in textbooks and has a level of appreciation and artistic value that can be called a national treasure will probably have this reaction.
"Can I get started?" Lin Zheng made no secret of his love for these four bronze heads, and turned his head to ask Uncle Liu.
"This ......" Uncle Liu hesitated, the material of these four bronze heads is not as delicate as porcelain or enamelware, and it is nothing to get started, but this guy in front of him is a rookie who doesn't know anything, in case ...... Thinking that the head of the family specially told him to receive this young man well, Liu Boluo hesitated for a while and decided to agree: Forget it, although this guy doesn't understand anything, there are some precautions to tell him, and at the same time he just watches from the side. Uncle Liu, who had made up his mind, nodded: "Of course it's no problem, but it's ......"
"You need gloves, don't you?" Without waiting for Uncle Liu to finish speaking, Lin Zheng took out a pair of white gloves from his pocket and put them on his hand three or two times. smiled and said to Liu Bo: "I won't tell you, although I am not very good at antiques, but before I came, I specially went to a few antique collectors in our province to ask them about the precautions when appreciating antiques...... None of these things are artistic treasures, and they should be admired with the utmost reverence. ”
This young man still understands the rules! Lin Zheng's words made Uncle Liu's heart feel a lot more comfortable, and this is the case, the reason why antique collectors don't welcome rookies who don't know anything. In fact, it is not because they cherish themselves and engage in collection, one of their biggest hobbies is that their collection of things can be appreciated by others. It's okay to say it's an X, or it's a show-off, but for the most part, antique collectors aren't stingy.
The reason why those rookies are not liked or even welcomed. It's because these bastards who don't know anything don't know what to look out for when admiring these art treasures. It doesn't matter if you don't understand, but you don't know how to appreciate these art treasures, and if you're not careful, you can let the quality of your collection suffer...... There are bastards who go directly to touch it, can a delicate collection like calligraphy and painting be touched directly? But there are not a few bastards who don't understand anything who touch them directly with sweaty hands, and Lin Zheng can take the initiative to prepare gloves in advance, which makes Liu Bo have more confidence in Lin Zheng in his heart.

When Lin Zheng came out of the collection room, Cai Chennan was already sitting in the living room drinking tea leisurely and waiting, and saw Lin Zheng walking over accompanied by Uncle Liu. He smiled and asked, "Mr. Lin, so fast?" ”
"Don't hide it from Mr. Cai. I am a super rookie who has just had a little hobby for antique collecting, although I don't know how to identify, but whenever I see these treasures that represent the pinnacle of a certain field of human art in front of my eyes, the joy in my heart is indescribable, and I am very grateful to Mr. Cai for giving me such an eye-opening opportunity. Lin Zheng smiled shyly, he didn't understand the collection of antiques, anyone who knew a little bit about antiques could see that instead of deliberately pretending to be X was exposed as unsightly, it was better to confess directly, at least he could leave a sincere evaluation.
"Oh?"
Lin Zheng's frankness and straightforwardness made Cai Chennan slightly surprised, he didn't expect that Lin Zheng, who had already made such impressive achievements at such a young age, did not shy away from not knowing this about antique collection, such a low-key and peaceful young man is really rare now. The evaluation of Lin Zheng in his heart couldn't help but be higher: This young man is really not simple. Surprise in my heart, Cai Chennan is also 55 years old, and the age of the sixtieth birthday is enough for him not to be surprised in the face of anything, let alone such a little thing? nodded with a smile, waved his hand and said: "Mr. Lin is polite, the collection world needs fresh blood like Mr. Lin to replenish it, don't hide it from Mr. Lin, I didn't have Mr. Lin's calm mind when I was like Mr. Lin's age, and I was thinking about crazy play and pickling girls." ”
After that, he shook his head slightly, and seemed to remember the romantic past again.
"I don't agree with Mr. Cai's words, as the old saying goes, people don't be romantic, when to do what to do, when you are young, you are not wanton, and when you are old, you may regret it...... Don't hide it from Mr. Cai, I specially consulted the etiquette teacher for today's appearance. ”
Cai Chennan didn't expect Lin Zheng to be so direct, and couldn't help but be stunned, but then he smiled and nodded: "People are not romantic, this is true." ”
If this is said by other juniors, Cai Chennan will be angry nine times out of ten, but this is said by a young man with assets of more than 100 million, Cai Chennan can't be angry if he wants to, people have the confidence to talk eloquently in front of themselves, people don't need their own help, they don't need the help of the Cai family, and they have created an unparalleled wealth that countless people are ashamed of with their own hands, what can I say about such a proud son of the sky? He said simply: "Mr. Lin, your trip today is not just to appreciate my collection, right?" ”
Since Cai Chennan was already planning to lift the card, Lin Zheng naturally couldn't hide it, and nodded slightly: "Mr. Cai is really as wise as a torch, that's the case, I like those copper heads very much, I don't know if Mr. Cai can cut his love?" ”
Lin Zheng's answer was not only expected by Cai Chennan, but also somewhat unexpected by Cai Chennan, what was expected was that this Lin Zheng really came for his own collection, and to Cai Chennan's expectation, Lin Zheng's target turned out to be the four bronze heads. But what does Lin Zheng like about him, Cai Chennan glanced sideways at Uncle Liu, who had been standing aside, and saw Uncle Liu nodding slightly, he suddenly had a plan in his heart, and after a little groaning, he said slowly: "Mr. Lin's request makes me a little embarrassed?" ”
Feeling stuck? That is, it is negotiable? Lin Zheng was also unambiguous, and said with a smile: "I know that it is not a gentleman's act to win people's love, but the kid really likes those copper heads, which makes Mr. Cai laugh." ”
And so it was!
But in the face of this problem, Cai Chennan couldn't help but hesitate for a while: to transfer or not to transfer?
These 4 bronze heads were purchased from the auction of Sotheby's auction house in the heyday of the Cai family in the 80s, and the reason why he auctioned these four bronze heads at that time is to tell the truth, there is no consideration of the country, the nation, or anything, it is purely a personal hobby, but compared with his many precious collections, these four bronze heads are not very valued by Cai Chennan.
But having said that, if anyone really thinks that Cai Chennan can boldly transfer these four bronze heads to Lin Zheng if he doesn't pay much attention to them, it is definitely Lin Zheng's head kicked by a donkey: Even if these four copper heads are not very important to Cai Chennan, why should Cai Chennan transfer such a precious antique to you because you strive to say a word?
In a word, how can you Lin Zheng be virtuous? Lin Zheng, has the relationship between you and Cai Chennan reached that point?
Cai Chennan was hesitating, Lin Zheng didn't speak, quietly drinking tea and waiting for Cai Chennan to make a decision, as for whether Cai Chennan would agree, to be honest, Lin Zheng didn't have a bottom in his heart.
The transfer of antiques, although it is not excluded and blackmail in individual cases, but in the vast majority of cases, it pays attention to the willingness of both parties, and the owner who can afford to play antiques, it is not very bad money, and it is bloody and interesting?
After hesitating for a moment, Cai Chennan slowly spoke: "Mr. Lin, can I ask you a question?" ”
Although he didn't know what Cai Chennan wanted to ask, Lin Zheng didn't hesitate for a second, nodded and said, "Mr. Cai, please ask, I will try my best to answer." ”
"May I understand why you want these bronze heads?" After speaking, Cai Chennan waved his hand and added: "Of course, this is just my personal doubt, Mr. Lin, you don't have to answer." ”
"Speaking of which, it makes Mr. Cai smile, the 12 zodiac bronze heads are an important cultural and artistic symbol of our nation, and the purpose of my collection of them is to hope that they can be donated to the country one day in the future."
It wasn't enough to be in awe, but Lin Zheng's answer somewhat surprised Cai Chennan: he actually planned to donate the bronze head to the country for free?
It is one thing that he himself doesn't like these copper heads very much, but he knows the artistic value and appreciation value of these copper heads very clearly, since Lin Zheng is here for these copper heads, Cai Chennan doesn't believe that Lin Zheng doesn't know the value of these copper heads, and will make a decision to donate them to the country when he knows their value? Cai Chennan suddenly found that he admired the kid in front of him a little, at this moment, Cai Chennan really began to carefully consider whether to transfer the four bronze heads in his hands, the reason is very simple, Lin Zheng has money in his hands, and the Cai family is now short of money.
That's right, after 10 years of hibernation, Cai Chennan is keenly aware that now is the best time for the rise of the Cai family, although the "Ten Letters Case" 10 years ago has greatly damaged the vitality of the Cai family, but the thin camel is bigger than the horse is not a joke, a lot of real estate can be easily loaned from the bank, but if you have money in your hands, why send money to the bank?
