Chapter 1048: I met an acquaintance again
Hearing this, Lao Wu said jokingly: "I said Lao Zheng, you won't be too black-hearted, the price is too low, and others won't agree, right?" ”
"Am I that kind of person?"
Zheng Qiuda glared at Lao Wu and said: "I have always liked Zhang Zhao's calligraphy, and I have collected a few ordinary works, and I have always wanted to collect one or two characteristic boutiques, but either the price is too expensive, or people don't sell them." Now that I finally came across a small piece of fine art, how could I not show sincerity? ”
"At that time, the price I gave was a little higher than the market price, and the other party still refused, what can I do? You can't raise the price too much, right? Speaking of which, if it hadn't been arranged for yesterday to receive the goods, and this incident happened today, I would have come over to ask Xiao Chu for help. ”
Zhu Dafu said when he heard this: "Then I think it may be that the other party doesn't want to sell, so he said it on purpose." ”
Zheng Qiuda sighed: "Whether they want to sell it or not, now that they finally came across a suitable thing, I have to work hard, so I want to ask Xiaochen for a favor, otherwise I really won't be reconciled." ”
Zhang Zhao was a citron in the early Qing Dynasty, a scholar of the three dynasties of Likang, Yong, and Qian, and a scholar who was able to paint and write, and was a literati with many talents. He first learned calligraphy Dong Qichang, and then returned to Yan and rice, and the commentator called it: "The bones of heaven are open, and the spirit is pure and thick." Male across the contemporary. ”
Zhang Zhao won the appreciation of the three generations of emperors Kang, Yong and Qian, and his calligraphy skills are of course undoubted, his works are often at auction, and the market is also quite popular.
Zhang Zhao's calligraphy works have been circulated a lot, but since they are characteristic masterpieces. That's certainly not a lot. Therefore, for those who are determined to collect one or two fine products. Zheng Qiuda, whose net worth is not too rich, found a work that suits him. Of course, I have to do everything I can to get it.
He originally thought that if Chu Chen didn't agree to the other party, he planned to pay a deposit to the other party, so that when the master's family had plans to make a move, he would notify him immediately.
If you know that Zheng Qiuda has such a plan, you will definitely persuade him to give up, the reason is very simple, if it is you, someone will do everything possible to buy an antique from you. And for this reason, do you not hesitate to book in advance, do you say you will sell?
Obviously, when many people encounter this kind of thing, their first thought must be that they will sell it, and even if they want to sell it, they will increase the price significantly, and there is also a high possibility that they will store it up and sell it in the future. Maximize your benefits.
Getting back to the point, Chu Chen heard that this was the case, and said, "Lao Zheng, of course it's no problem to go." But if the other party doesn't agree with me, then I can't help it. Besides, I was in charge of porcelain authentication at the TV station. Will the other party agree with the result I give? ”
"That's for sure. If you, an expert at Beijing TV, can't do it, then I'm out of line for the time being. As for which category you are specifically identifying. Ordinary people don't care about that, they just need to know that you're an expert. Zheng Qiuda waved his hand and said with a smile that it didn't matter.
Seeing Zheng Qiuda say this, Chu Chen didn't say anything more.
Next, the two sides made an appointment on the time and place, and Zheng Qiuda left in a hurry.
Uncle Wu shook his head and said, "This Xiao Zheng is an urgent son, doesn't he know that the more he is like this, the more the other party doesn't want to sell?" ”
Zhou Wenping said: "He is this temper, he usually has a clear mind in business, and when he encounters something he cares about, he doesn't care about it." ”
Zhu Dafu said: "Xiaochen, you remember to remind him tomorrow, so as not to regret it, but if he doesn't listen, don't worry about him." ”
Chu Chen nodded: "Okay, I'll remind him of ......"
…………
The next day, Chu Chen set off to the location that Zheng Qiuda told him yesterday, and halfway through, he received a call from Wang Ruyang, politely asking him if he could go to the exchange meeting on the day.
He told Wang Ruyang that it was okay, but because he had a lot of things, he might not be able to say if something suddenly happened that day, so he didn't say dead, and said that if he couldn't participate, he would arrange for someone else to go there, so that Wang Ruyang could rest assured.
Wang Ruyang was also very happy when he saw Chu Chen say this, and after a few polite words, he hung up the phone.
The place Zheng Qiuda said yesterday was a community that had been built for five or six years, and when Chu Chen arrived by car, Zheng Qiuda had already arrived, and looking at his appearance, it was estimated that the time was not short.
Zheng Qiuda saw Chu Chen get out of the car, and hurriedly greeted him.
"Xiao Chu, you're here!"
Chu Chen greeted him and said, "Lao Zheng, looking at you like this, it seems that you have been here for a while, right?" ”
Zheng Qiuda smiled: "Anyway, there is nothing to do at home, so I came over by co-delivery car." By the way, I got this fan back yesterday, let's put you here first, you can see if it's right first......"
As he spoke, he handed Chu Chen a bag containing a brocade box in his hand.
"I still don't believe you, do I?"
Chu Chen took the bag in his hand, and Zheng Qiuda has known him for a few years, his character is still known, Chu Chen doesn't believe it, he will fake in this regard, besides, this fan is only tens of thousands of yuan at most, for him, it is still very cost-effective to recognize a villain hidden in the depths with tens of thousands of yuan.
Then, he smiled and asked, "The thief has confessed?" ”
Zheng Qiuda nodded: "Yes, let's talk about the specifics as we go." ”
Seeing Zheng Qiuda's impatient look, Chu Chen responded, and followed Zheng Qiuda as he walked and said: "I said Lao Zheng, your mentality is a little wrong, it's better to pay attention to it for a while, otherwise the other party will see that you are so anxious, even if you have intentions, you may change your mind temporarily." ”
Zheng Qiuda was originally about to say that he was such a character and it was difficult to correct, but when he heard Chu Chen say that the other party might change his hexagram because of this, he hurriedly and solemnly said that he would pay attention. Next, he briefly told Chu Chen about the thief.
After being examined by the police, the thief confessed to the crime. He claims to be fond of antiques, but he usually doesn't have much pocket money, and he is afraid of buying fakes, so he can only get by.
In March this year, the thief went to Zheng Qiuda's shop to admire the antiques and accidentally found that the back of the antique shop was propped up with wooden sticks. At the same time, during this period, he also found that the security measures of the antique shop were very lax, so he had the idea of stealing antiques and collecting them home, but at that time he only thought about it and did not implement it.
The day before yesterday, the thief bought an antique in the market, but when he went home to check, he found that it was a modern imitation, which made him angry enough, and he and his wife quarreled over trivial matters that day, so in a fit of anger, he left home.
Unconsciously stopped and stopped all the way, and when the thief came back to his senses, he found that he had actually arrived at the door of Zheng Qiuda's antique shop, so the previous thoughts came out again.
However, he was not reckless, for the sake of safety, he also put on makeup and stepped on the interior of the antique shop, and went home and calculated the plan in detail, and only did he move it last night.
After succeeding, the thief left two items to be cashed, and the rest of the things were placed in the utility room of the unit, and after the thief was caught, these things were also recovered. Therefore, for Zheng Qiuda, he did not have much to lose except for being a little frightened and wasting some effort and time.
"That's congratulations."
Chu Chen said with a smile: "But Lao Zheng, why do you still have hysterical products, could it be that your taste has become so bad now?" ”
"How is that possible!" Zheng Qiuda laughed: "This is what my son got when he went out on a trip with his classmates, and when he came back, he proudly told me that he picked up a big leak, and I was scolded at that time, and then the things have been put in my store, and no one has been caring." Unexpectedly, this guy actually regarded it as a treasure and took it to you for identification. ”
"So, it's a complete stupid thief......"
While talking and laughing, Chu Chen followed Zheng Qiuda to the door of a house and knocked on the door.
"Who!" As a voice came from the room that was somewhat familiar to Chu Chen, the door was opened.
"So it's you, didn't I say things don't sell?"
While the other party was talking, Chu Chen also saw her appearance clearly, which couldn't help but make him secretly say "What a coincidence".
It turned out that the person who spoke was none other than the cousin of the owner of the courtyard house that hid Wei Zhongxian's treasure, the old lady who had been asking him for news.
Zheng Qiuda didn't seem to hear what the old lady said, and said with a smile: "Auntie, didn't you say last time that you didn't agree with the price I quoted?" This time, I brought an expert from the Beijing telephone station over. ”
The old lady directly refused: "This is not an expert's problem, my family is not short of money now, and I will not exchange the things handed down by my ancestors for money." ”
Hearing this, Chu Chen was a little speechless in his heart, obviously the old lady didn't even have any intention of selling it, Zheng Qiuda actually said that he didn't agree with his price, and he didn't know if he was thick-skinned, or because he wanted to get that work too much, so he hallucinated.
However, Chu Chen felt that Zheng Qiuda's mind should be sober, otherwise he would not have said such ambiguous words as "whether they want to sell it or not" yesterday.
Zheng Qiuda said with a shy face: "Auntie, we can discuss this matter later, you see that I have invited experts, do you want us to take a look again?" ”
The old lady said in her heart, the expert was invited by you, what does it have to do with me? However, just as she was about to speak, she happened to see Chu Chen's appearance clearly. This made her stunned immediately, and after half a sound, she came back to her senses and said with a surprised face: "Young man, you are the expert he said?" ”
Chu Chen greeted the old lady with a smile, and said modestly: "I'm just a little fight, at most I have participated in a few episodes of the Beijing telephone station." (To be continued......)
