"How? Do you want this seal, let me tell you, this thing is really handed down by my ancestors, if I don't want my granddaughter to go to college to be more comfortable, I really don't want to sell it, when my father passed it on to me, he told me that this thing is very precious, don't fool me! The old man Zuihou said with certainty.

"Yes!" Chu Chen replied affirmatively: "Old man, then you give a real price, and it will save you from tossing back and forth, after all, it is a hot day." ”

"I don't know anything about antiques, but after all, it's something that has been handed down from my ancestors, my dad has been in Xiucai before, and he said it's a good thing, this gentleman, or you can give 12,000, what do you think?"

However, after the price was offered, the old man glanced at the seal again, probably thinking that this seal was indeed not selling well, and seeing Chu Chen's contemplative look, he hurriedly changed his words: "Or 10,000 yuan, I won't sell it for less." ”

When Chu Chen heard this price, he was secretly happy in his heart, this seal is beautifully carved, the material is good, and the condition is intact, just this can easily sell for seventy or eighty thousand yuan.

And it is not accurate to say that this is a seal, because there is no inscription engraved under this seal, that is to say, this seal is still a seal embryo, so that it can add a lot of color to its price, and it can be sold at a good price when you meet people in demand.

So Chu Chen deliberately thought for a moment before nodding and agreeing: "Okay, 10,000 yuan, let's make a deal, but old man, do you have any boxes for me." ”

The old man was a little embarrassed and said: "I'm really sorry for this, originally, this thing was put in a brocade box, but during that period, it was buried in the ground along with the box, and then I took it out again, the box was rotten, and usually this thing was wrapped in a red cloth, I thought that the red cloth was not good-looking, so I found a newspaper casually." ”

It turns out that this is the case, Chu Chen knows this embryo, weishenme looks a little gray at first glance, it turns out that it has been re-entered into the soil, originally this embryo is used to extract oil, and it looks like it has entered the soil like this, no wonder the people in the store just now think that it is a modern imitation.

After that, Chu Chen made a simple note, and the two of them paid the money with one hand and delivered the goods with the other, and the business was completed.

Chu Chen and the others spent a total of more than 10,000 yuan on dinner yesterday, and the money around him was not enough today, so he went to the bank this morning to withdraw 50,000 yuan, and before he could get the goods, he went to 10,000 again, thinking, the money is really useless. But the old ones don't go, the new ones don't come, and he wishes he could never use them like this.

The place where the goods were picked up was not far from here, and Chu Chen arrived at the place without walking a few steps.

This is a very small antique shop, and the location is quite inconspicuous, plus there is no store name, under normal circumstances, few people notice here, but this antique shop is originally a wholesale road, and the owner does not care very much.

The inside of the store is not as small as the outside, almost 40 square meters, the store is air-conditioned, and when you walk inside, a cool air comes to your face, so that the summer heat will dissipate immediately.

Speaking of this air conditioner, Chu Chen really has some resentment, because there is no air conditioner installed in the place he rents now, and it is good to say that there is heating in winter, but in summer he can only use an electric fan to blow it, and the person who blows it is dizzy.

wanted to ask Aunt Zhang to install an air conditioner, but she said that young people were afraid of this little heat, and they didn't come like that when there was no air conditioning. Although the words are good, but since there is an air conditioner, is it still hot and dry?

Chu Chen originally wanted to install an air conditioner by himself, but after thinking about it, if he bought a new house, he would not dismantle an old air conditioner and use it, and it would not be cheap Aunt Zhang at that time? Fortunately, the internal boxing he practiced at that time was also considered to be a little successful, and the summer heat had less impact on him, and the past few years have passed.

The owner of the shop is called Chen Dewang, he is sixty-five years old today, Chu Chen calls him Chen Lao, at this time Chen Lao is half-lying on a recliner drinking tea and reading a book, looking complacent.

"Good morning Elder Chen, I'm going to trouble you again today."

"Oh, it's Xiaochen, are you here to pick up the goods today?" Chen Dewang asked.

Before Chu Chen could nod, Chen Dewang saw that he was holding something wrapped in newspaper in his hand, so he asked curiously, "Hey, Xiaochen, what good thing are you holding in your hand?" ”

Chu Chen smiled and gently put the seal embryo in his hand on the table, and without saying anything, he asked him to inspect it himself.

After a while, after careful observation, Chen Dewang put the embryo back on the table and sighed:

"That's right, it's a Ming Dynasty green jade ancient dragon button embryo, a good object to open the door to the generation, where did you get it?"

So Chu Chen told him what happened, and Chen Dewang said to him happily after hearing it:

"Okay, Xiaochen, your eyesight is okay, the store you said should be Lao Zhang's storefront, but Lao Zhang recently went to the field to get the goods, and now his son is guarding the door, this kid usually doesn't do his job, if he comes back, Lao Zhang knows about it, and he can't be angry." By the way, what are you going to do with this embryo? ”

When Chu Chen saw him say this, he said, "I originally planned to find a suitable opportunity to change hands, and since you like it, Old Chen, I will give it to you." ”

"Okay, what about the 120,000?" After Chen Dewang finished speaking, he looked at Chu Chen's somewhat hesitant appearance and said, "What, do you think there is less money?" ”

Chu Chen quickly shook his head when he heard this: "No, no, I don't think I need so much, right?" ”

Chen Dewang smiled: "Okay, let's say it's decided, do you kid still think that I will suffer a loss?" ”

After hearing this, Chu Chen touched his head and smirked, and then the two quickly signed the transfer agreement, and Chen Dewang opened a check for 120,000 yuan and handed it to him.

To identify the authenticity of the check, Chu Chen had asked someone for advice before, and at first glance, he knew that it was a real check, and after he took the check, he asked with some curiosity: "Old Chen, when will you also use the check?" ”

Chen Dewang said with some pride: "Our Chinese citizens in the new century, of course, must keep pace with the times, how can you be like your Uncle Wu and Lao Zhu, you Uncle Wu is better, and he can learn to learn computers, then Lao Zhu is really an old antique." ”

Of course, Chu Chen couldn't say anything about this kind of thing, so he could only smile a little and nod yes.

Chen Dewang waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't accompany me, the old man, what goods you want to take, go inside and pick them yourself." ”

Most of Chen Dewang's stores are modern imitations, and the prices are more expensive than other places, but there is one good thing, that is, they are all imitations and relatively haode, especially some are very exquisite, which is what Chu Chen likes.

As mentioned earlier, Chu Chen's business is quite regular, although when he picks up stalls, he doesn't tell others whether things are antiques or not, but the things he sells are not bad, and there is no such thing as crooked melons and cracked dates, or it is simply a fabrication.

Chu Chen always believes that since the customer buys something from him, even if the thing has no cultural relics value, it must have a certain artistic value, which is also a kind of respect for the customer. This can be regarded as a simple idea of his, or the bottom line of being a man.

People say that good people are not rewarded, but in fact, this sentence may not be accurate in the business field. Although Chu Chen may not earn as much as others in a single piece, but over time, there will be more old customers or repeat customers, and he will earn more than others.

After a period of picking, Chu Chen had already chosen most of the targets, and under the influence of Uncle Wu, he used to focus on the porcelain business, so most of the goods he took this time were all kinds of new imitation porcelain that were more exquisite, and the others were jade and bronze.

As for calligraphy and painting, Chu Chen did not take it here, but went to an acquaintance in Nancheng to buy it, after all, there is a specialization in the art industry, although Chen Dewang also has calligraphy and painting here, but either he can't afford it, or he can't get into his eyes.

"Huh!"

Suddenly, Chu Chen was attracted by a jade artifact, which was a jade pendant carved from black and white jade.

Black and white jade is actually black jade with a white jade bottom, and it is also called blue and white jade in the market.

Blue and white jade is in white jade or green and white jade in the black star, or cloud-like or band-like black lines, can be called blue and white jade, blue and white jade if black (gray) and white distinct, is what people call black and white jade.

At first glance, the surface of this jade pendant is gray and not very bright, giving people a dull feeling, but a closer look can still see that it is extraordinary. So he didn't hesitate to get it in his hand, as soon as the jade pendant got started, the ability began to move, there is no doubt that this is an old jade.

Chu Chen didn't care about other issues for a while, and raised the jade pendant in his hand to observe it carefully.

This piece of jade pendant is a piece of openwork round pendant, with the cloud pattern as the frame decoration, the openwork in the frame is the pattern of two dragons playing with pearls, the overall line is smooth, the carving is powerful, it should be said that there is a certain foundation.

On the whole, this should be a jade pendant carved in the middle or late Qing Dynasty, as for why Chu Chen can't accurately determine, it is also because he is not as proficient in jade as porcelain. Later, it was determined that this jade pendant was a openwork dragon pattern Pei in the middle of the Qing Dynasty.

As for this jade pendant weishenme looks a little dull, this should be a relationship that has not been worn for a long time, as long as it is worn for a period of time, it is a different scene. However, Chu Chen is still a little strange, weishenme Chen Lao would put this jade pendant in the imitation? Not with his eyesight.

I couldn't figure it out for a while, Chu Chen put this question aside, and now there was a strange phenomenon that made him very concerned.

The feeling of being attracted by the jade pendant just now really made him feel a little confused, and this feeling is not the first time that it has appeared today, just now, he appeared when he found the seal embryo, he didn't care about it at the time, thinking it was an accidental phenomenon, and now it seems that there must be something wrong with it He didn't find it.
