Professor Zhu asked again, "Is it true that beginners don't have a chance to pick up the leaks?" ”

"Yes, there must be!" Chu Chen said: "But for old players, the probability of picking up leaks is not high, and the chances of beginners picking up leaks are very slim. As the old saying goes, you can't walk even if you can't walk, so you want to run, can you not fall? ”

Professor Zhu nodded: "This is also the case, there is no gold and steel diamond, no porcelain work." However, I have a friend who has just retired, and he heard others say that antiques can make money, so he stepped into this industry, and told me a few days ago that he spent 20,000 yuan to buy a blue and white jar, which was appraised and said to be worth 100,000 yuan. ”

He was very excited to tell me that it was easy to make money from antiques, and he wanted to persuade me to buy antiques, saying that I would definitely make a lot of money. At that time, I felt a little skeptical, and I said that I would talk about it in two days. Doctor Chu, is this possible? ”

After listening to Professor Zhu's story, Chu Chen's first reaction was that Professor Zhu's friend was estimated to have been deceived by others, he shook his head and said: "To say, it is indeed possible for new entrants to pick up leaks, but the truth is like what I just said, if antiques are really easy to make a lot of money, how can there be vendors who set up stalls!" So I think there's a good chance that your friend has been cheated by someone else. ”

"Liared?" Professor Zhu was surprised.

Chu Chen nodded: "Yes, in the antique industry, buying things depends on your own eyesight, even if the thing is fake, after you buy it, the seller can not return it." ”

"Ahh Isn't there anyone who cares? Professor Zhu's expression was a little incredulous.

"What's going on?" Chu Chen smiled: "For example, let's take this statue as an example, when it is sold." I don't say what year it is, just that it's an old thing. That's right, right? You bought it and felt that you didn't meet your wishes, and you want to ask me to return it. I can't find any suitable reason for this. ”

"Also, many sellers in our line like to tell stories, or take this statue as an example, I said that it is my own family ancestral, who used it originally, during the Anti-Japanese War, it was not easy to preserve, anyway, it is as vivid as it is, but who knows whether this story is true or false?"

"If anyone believes. After buying something and going home to see that it was a fake, what reason do you have to return it? said that it was influenced by my story, I just need to say one word, I didn't force you to buy it, you wanted to buy it yourself, what does it matter to me, what else can you say? ”

......Hearing this, Professor Zhu didn't know what to say.

Chu Chen smiled. said: "Therefore, if you want to enter our industry, you must learn first, and only by polishing your eyes with knowledge will you not be deceived." I think you'd better advise your friend. It's best not to get too deep, and if he needs anything, he can come to my shop. We can help him identify the authenticity of things. ”

With that, he took out another business card of his own. It was handed to Professor Zhu.

"Hmm!" Professor Zhu nodded and took Chu Chen's business card: "I will persuade him about this." ”

"Professor Zhu. I take the liberty of asking, what are you going to do with this bamboo statue? Chu Chen asked.

"Of course, it will be returned to the patient's family!" Professor Zhu said as a matter of course: "What, do you have any ideas?" ”

"yes!" Chu Chen nodded and said: "I won't tell you, I'm going to Jinling in a few days to celebrate the birthday of an old-timer, and I'm about to lack a birthday gift, I think this statue is quite suitable, so I want to buy it." ”

"Oh! That's it! ”

Professor Zhu thought for a while and said, "The most important thing in this matter depends on the opinion of the other party, I will call the patient's family to come over later, and then you can discuss it with them, of course, I will also help you beat the side drum." ”

"Then I'll thank you in advance!" Hearing him say this, Chu Chen immediately smiled and expressed his gratitude.

Professor Zhu smiled and waved his hand: "What's this, I also want to thank you for helping me identify it!" By the way, I remember that there is a fee for appraising antiques......"

"What you said, I'm just a gesture, how can I ask for your money!" Chu Chen hurriedly shook his head.

Professor Zhu laughed and said, "In this case, it's just time for lunch, I invite you to the cafeteria for a meal, and I happen to wait for the patient's family, don't you mind?" ”

Chu Chen smiled and shook his head: "How can you mind this......"

After the two of them had eaten, drank tea for a while, and chatted for a while, the family of the patient that Professor Zhu said rushed over.

This person's surname is Niu, in fact, he didn't want to come, but he didn't want to say that he couldn't look at the money of three or four hundred thousand, mainly because he felt that this was too fake, and he felt that the statue he often played with when he was a child, how could it be worth so much money? So, when he received the call, the first thought that came to him was disbelief.

However, Professor Zhu swore on the phone, and he had to come over, so he could only run over, and when he came, he kept muttering in his heart, thinking that Professor Zhu was too rigid, but it was just a statue of hundreds or thousands, so why not accept it?

Of course, this Mr. Niu only dared to mumble in his heart, and when he saw Professor Zhu himself, he couldn't have been more enthusiastic.

The two sides introduced each other, and Chu Chen went straight to the point: "Mr. Niu, this statue is yours, right?" ”

"It was originally mine, and I gave it to Professor Zhu a few days ago." Mr. Niu said with a smile.

Professor Zhu waved his hand directly and said, "If I accept such a valuable thing, it won't make me make a mistake, I don't dare to accept it!" ”

Mr. Niu shook his head: "Hey! Although this thing has been handed down from my ancestors, it is just a thing made of bamboo, what is it worth? ”

"Mr. Niu, you are really wrong about this, this bamboo statue is really worth a lot of money."

Chu Chen said: "Now I just want to ask you, do you sell this bamboo statue?" ”

"Ah, you really want to buy it?" When Mr. Niu heard Chu Chen say this, he was immediately surprised, even if he was so suspicious before, seeing that Chu Chen was not joking at this time, he also knew that what Professor Zhu said on the phone before might be true, which made his mind suddenly confused.

"Mr. Niu, how could I lie to you about this?" Chu Chen's tone was very affirmative.

Mr. Niu came back to his senses and asked with an incredulous expression: "This thing is really like what Professor Zhu said on the phone, can it be worth three or four hundred thousand?" ”

Chu Chen said: "Yes! To be precise, the market value should be between thirty-five and four hundred thousand. I don't know if you sell it? ”

"This ......" Mr. Niu hesitated suddenly, now that he knew that this inconspicuous thing was indeed valuable, as a small citizen, he also had a small calculation in his heart, he first had a thought, is the value of this thing really like Chu Chen said? Will it be more expensive?

Seeing Mr. Niu's hesitant appearance, Professor Zhu reminded: "Mr. Niu, Dr. Chu is not only a good doctor, but he is also a disciple of Liu Zhi and Liu Lao, and this statue was previously identified by him. ”

Hearing Professor Zhu say this, Mr. Niu immediately reacted, he was able to harvest so much money, it was already an unexpected joy, speaking of which, if it weren't for Professor Zhu's high spirits, he would not have this unexpected income at all, just like that, how could he be embarrassed to be insatiable?

Thinking of this, Mr. Niu hurriedly said, "I sold this thing!" As for the price, Dr. Chu, you can give as much as you want! ”

"Then 400,000!" Chu Chen said directly, after all, this statue was purchased by him, and if he bought it, it would definitely be less.

"Didn't you slap me in the face when you said that? If it weren't for you, Doctor Chu, I wouldn't have this windfall income, so let's count it as 350,000! ”

Mr. Niu is not a fool, if he really has 400,000 yuan, it will definitely give people the impression of loving money, if it is in front of others, it doesn't matter, but the key is that Professor Zhu is present, Professor Zhu is a well-known pediatric expert in the country, in case he leaves a bad impression, he will ask him for something in the future, will others help you?

"Don't, I'm taking advantage of you like this, so let's do it, I'm going to buy this thing and give it away, even if it's 390,000, I'll take advantage of you, what do you think?"

In fact, to be honest, in this case, Chu Chen really wants to buy it directly for 400,000 yuan, if it is cheap, it is also a favor.

When Mr. Niu heard Chu Chen say this, he was also relieved, you know, 40,000 yuan is also a lot of money for him, but he still did enough work, excused himself, and finally agreed.

There are more banks at the entrance of the hospital, the two signed an agreement, and after saying goodbye to Professor Zhu, they went to the bank to transfer money to complete the transaction, and then Chu Chen handed his business card to Mr. Niu, telling him that he had something to do with antiques, and he could go to the store to find him, and then the two separated.

After coming out of the bank, Chu Chen drove home and just opened the car door when he received a call from Duan Kun.

"Brother Chen, Zhenzhen and I are already in the XX Hotel, if you have time, come here!"

"Where did you come from?" Chu Chen asked.

"At noon, we were afraid of delaying your meal, so we didn't call you." Duan Kun said with a smile.

"You guy, what's so convenient about this, you should call me earlier, I won't pick you up at the airport! Okay, you guys wait for me at the hotel, it just so happens that I also have a silver needle, and by the way, I will do an acupuncture for Zhenzhen. ”

"Hehe, okay, Brother Chen, we'll leave our itinerary for the next few days to you......"

Hanging up the phone, Chu Chen shook his head with a smile, and then drove to the hotel that Duan Kun said.

Speaking of which, Duan Kun and Zhenzhen had already been to the capital the year before last, but it was the time of the Chinese New Year, and Chu Chen was going to carve jade again, so after being treated once, they didn't have time to accompany them, so they just made up for it this time.
