It's a pity that Chu Chen found that person a little late, otherwise he would definitely have reminded Qiao Qingtai just now. But now that the matter has come to this, he can only remind Qiao Qingtai that of course, the time must be postponed, now, let Qiao Qingtai be happy for the time being, so as not to disappoint the fun.

The collection behind this fan is less characteristic, and there are some fakes mixed in, which is also a common method used in black market auctions to reach the point of fishing in troubled waters. However, these fakes are relatively realistic, and most of them have been taken away, but the prices are not high.

It may be that the auction volume is not high, the auctioneer is not very energetic in introducing things, and the quality of the lots is not very high, so he introduces very quickly.

“…… This pastel character Guanyin vase, the starting price is 1,000 yuan, if you like the boss, please bid! ”

After saying that, the auctioneer looked around and found that no one was interested in bidding, and some buyers were impatient to ask the auctioneer to finish quickly, so the auctioneer was ready to drop the hammer and sell the auction.

But at this moment, the auctioneer's eyes lit up, and he immediately showed a bright smile, to say that the speed of his expression change, it must be the famous face-changing stunt, and it is nothing more than that. And this qiē is all because Chu Chen raised his card to make a bid.

The buyers at the scene looked at Chu Chen a little strangely, and Qiao Qingtai was also a little puzzled why Chu Chen was suddenly interested in such a thing. But no matter what, except for Chu Chen, the scene was not the same. No one is bidding anymore.

Wait for Zuoshan to pay and get the purchased lot back. Qiao Qingtai couldn't wait to see it.

The Guanyin bottle is handsome, and the white glaze is pure and warm. The pastel is rich in color, and the bottle body is painted with three boys holding lanterns, and its demeanor is depicted vividly, as far as the painter is concerned, it is not inferior to the pastel works of the official kiln of the three dynasties of the Qing Dynasty.

Seeing the end, Qiao Qingtai nodded with a smile and said, "This Guanyin bottle is good, although it costs a little more money, it is also worth the money." If you collect it well, it shouldn't take long for it to appreciate in value. ”

Some friends may find it strange, since Qiao Qingtai thinks this thing is good, and Chu Chen only spent a thousand yuan, why would Qiao Qingtai still say that Chu Chen spent more money?

In fact, the reason is very simple, because this bottle is a new pastel porcelain from the Republic of China.

The history of ceramics entered the Republic of China period, due to the significant changes in social aesthetic concepts, the light color in the late Qing Dynasty no longer received attention, and the process defects were increasingly revealed. As a result, the light color of the light color quickly fell into decline, while the pastel returned at an astonishing rate.

The early creators were all originally light color artists, and when light color declined, they returned to pastel art again. They used the method of painting porcelain in light color and used pastel as the color material to paint colored porcelain, in order to distinguish it from the pastel of the Qing Dynasty. This porcelain is called the new pastel.

The new pastel porcelain painting is beautiful and elegant, lush and beautiful, and the color is gorgeous. The works of many famous artists are generally more skillful. The drawing skills are also extraordinary.

However, in the history of ceramics in our country. The porcelain of the Republic of China has not yet been included in it, and the ceramic books and catalogues published on the market rarely describe the porcelain of the Republic of China as a special category.

The reasons for this are, first, because the concept of "Republic of China" is not easy to grasp; Second, the cultural relics and collectors attach great importance to the porcelain of the Republic of China, which is far less than the kind of pursuit they have expressed in porcelain works in other periods.

However, because the porcelain of the Republic of China itself has a high quality, its artistic expression is not inferior to that of the previous dynasty. Therefore, many people of insight have quietly regarded ordinary people as groceries of the Republic of China porcelain quietly into their arms and collected, coupled with the current collection fever, in recent years, the Republic of China porcelain boutique has been quietly heating up.

But in any case, the price of porcelain in the Republic of China is still relatively low. For example, in 2002, a pair of new pastel porcelain plates from the Republic of China period were auctioned at the Guardian auction, with an estimate of 800 to 1,200 yuan, and a transaction price of 5,500 yuan.

This is still on the international auction, and that pair of porcelain plates also has a special commemorative significance, such new pastel porcelain is only auctioned at such a price, spending a thousand yuan on the black market to buy a new pastel porcelain, so that Qiao Qingtai feels expensive, other buyers feel strange, it is also a normal phenomenon.

Chu Chen smiled and nodded, and did not explain much about the reason why he bought this porcelain, of course, this is mainly because this thing is related to an important clue, as for what clue, everyone must have guessed from the age of this Guanyin bottle. Right! It is a clue related to the treasure of the fire clay.

In fact, at the beginning, Chu Chen, like everyone else, was not too interested in this Guanyin bottle, but when he saw the painting style of the Guanyin bottle from a distance, he suddenly had a familiar feeling in his heart.

As soon as he remembered where this familiar feeling came from, he immediately thought that the three boys with their heads up and smiling in different directions drawn on the bottle seemed to have something to do with the bottle he had been studying for three days. At this time, the auctioneer was ready to drop the hammer, so frightened that he immediately raised his card and quoted the price.

When the bottle arrived in his hand, after Chu Chen observed it carefully, he found that it was indeed the most important clue to the treasure, which made him feel palpitations and almost broke out in a cold sweat. If he had been a little slower to react just now, the treasure of the fire clay would probably have missed him.

Fortunately, what made Chu Chen feel fortunate was that this qiē did not happen, and with his ability to never forget, at this time he had already found the exact location of the treasure through the clues on the bottle. Thinking that the jade seal that had been lost for a long time was about to see the light of day, he was so excited that he didn't even pay attention to the end of the auction.

"Xiao Chu, let's go!"

Qiao Qingtai stood up, patted Chu Chen's shoulder, and said, "I don't know how the organizers will arrange it next, if we have to go to the next place by ourselves, then we have to find a place to fill our stomachs." ”

Chu Chen came back to his senses, only to find that many buyers in the room had already gone out, and there were even more staff. Already disassembling the tool.

Seeing this, he quickly stood up. said: "It seems that we should go by ourselves, otherwise why is no one notifying?" ”

"Not necessarily." Qiao Qingtai said as he walked: "How about the specifics." Let's go out and have a look. By the way, Xiao Zuo, the receipt that the other party gave you when you traded just now is still there, right? ”

Zuo Shan said: "It's all here, will you use it later?" ”

"Of course you have to use it, this is the basis for our deal." Qiao Qingtai said in a low voice: "You give the receipt to Xiao Chu, and when you return the small round card later, give it to him together, and he will give him a note with the address of the next auction." ”

"Oh."

Zuo Shan nodded. Just now he wondered how there were receipts for black market transactions, which turned out to be the case.

At this time, the three of them saw a middle-aged man running to the edge of the seat from outside in a panic, taking out a red paper from an ashtray, and then breathed a long sigh of relief. This made the people around him want to laugh a little, needless to say, this person should also be the first time to participate in the black market here, and he doesn't know the rules here.

When he came to the door, Chu Chen was as Qiao Qingtai explained. He handed the medallion to the guard, along with the receipt. Maybe it was because the amount of the transaction was relatively large, Chu Chen felt that when the guard gave him a note, his smile was even brighter than when he went in before.

And the young man who took them over had a happy face. People like him. They are all the outermost informants of the black market, mainly responsible for finding the right buyers, and their income. It is related to the transaction price of the buyer on the black market, and the higher the price, the more you get.

Like Chu Chen, they have such a high turnover. The commission that young people get from it alone is as much as the income of a few months in normal times. It's no wonder that he is so happy, and his attitude towards the three of them is much more enthusiastic than just now.

The young man drove the car some distance away and asked, "Bosses, where are you going to go in a moment?" ”

Qiao Qingtai replied: "Do you need to talk about this? ”

Seeing Qiao Qingtai say this, the young man took out a big bag of bread from the side, handed it to Chu Chen, and said apologetically: "Then let's not go back, go directly to the next place, if you feel hungry, you can eat some bread and put down your stomach first." ”

Chu Chen frowned when he heard this, and his expression was very dissatisfied: "Your boss is inevitably too anxious, and he doesn't even let people eat." ”

The young man smiled: "I'm really sorry, but the wind is a little tight during this time, and our boss is forced to do this, I hope you can forgive me." ”

Hearing the young man say this, Qiao Qingtai's heart was tight, the news about dealing with the black market boss is only spreading in a limited range now, and he has actually gotten the news, it seems that this person is really very powerful.

However, for Qiao Qingtai, his task is to buy the real national treasure, and as for this news, he only needs to sue the case handlers and let them have a headache.

And Chu Chen listened to the young man's words, and suddenly thought of one thing, since the boss of the black market is so careful, then the auction just now should be just a bait, and the source of the lot above should not be any problem, even if there is a business trip and someone finds out, at most, only those few bronzes have problems.

Even, those bronzes are actually bait arranged by the boss of the black market, after all, although bronzes cannot be auctioned in China, not all bronzes are obtained from tomb robbing, so even if they do not meet the regulations, if they really want to be investigated, it will not have much impact on the boss of the black market.

"Maybe I thought too much, that person was really just trying to investigate the price yesterday."

Chu Chen thought so in his heart, but his sixth sense still felt that there was a great possibility that there was something wrong with that person, but this matter had nothing to do with him, and he didn't think about it anymore. As for the possible source of Wang Chong's fan, he still has to remind Qiao Qingtai that he won't be able to react if there is a problem.
