Although this amphora looks very exquisite and genuine, Chu Chen was still meticulous when appraising, and first observed its bottom paragraph, only to see the six alum red seal books on the bottom of the bottle, "Qianlong Year of the Great Qing Dynasty", which are very neat and powerful, and you can know at a glance that it is a typical feature of the official kiln.

Then look at its tire, delicate and clean, because the fetal quality of the Qianlong period gradually became rougher in the later period, so it can be seen that this amphora should be a work in the early and middle Qianlong period.

The fetus is bone, the glaze is the clothing, and the fetus must of course look at the glaze, this amphora, the glaze is firm, delicate and moist like jade, smooth and flawless, it can be said that it is the boutique in the color bottle.

zuihou Chu Chen only look at the overall shape and pattern decoration characteristics, with six words to describe, dignified atmosphere, regular and exquisite, gorgeous style, no expense, natural pulp, good condition, from these points, this should be a work of fine work in the early Qianlong period, very collectible.

Before the purchase of antiques, the most taboo when appraising is shocked, the seller can be said to be staring at your performance in the offer, if you show your liking, there is no doubt that the price will also rise.

After carefully appreciating this amphora, Chu Chen's face was still so unfazed, and the amazement in his heart was not revealed at all, he put away his gloves and magnifying glass, and said to Mr. Wang unhurriedly:

"Mr. Wang, I still like your amphora, but I don't know how much you want."

This tone undoubtedly gave Mr. Wang a feeling that if the price he offered was too high, it was likely that the transaction would not be completed, so he pondered for a while before saying:

"Mr. Chu, if I wasn't in a hurry to use the money, I would definitely not sell this amphora, I'll open a real price, 550,000 yuan, how about it?"

Chu Chen thought to himself, you are in a hurry, if you are not in a hurry, how can I lower the price, so he smiled faintly and said:

"I don't know if Mr. Wang knows, during this year's spring auction, a amphora similar to this one was also auctioned, do you know the final price of that piece?"

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment before continuing: "Six hundred and sixty thousand! If you think about it, there are commissions and personal income tax and other expenses for the auction, so it's only 660,000 yuan, and the auction also requires time consumption, what do you say? ”

"This ......"

As soon as Mr. Wang heard that there was such a thing, he was a little overwhelmed, he didn't doubt the truth of what Chu Chen said, because lying in this kind of thing would smash the signboard, at this time his face showed a trace of sorrow, and there was even fine sweat on his forehead, which showed the anxiety and worry in his heart.

Mr. Wang thought about it for a while, maybe it was really urgent to use money, or other circumstances, gritted his teeth and said to Chu Chen:

"Mr. Chu, 500,000, you want, let's trade immediately, I'm going to leave soon, if you don't want it, I'll go find someone else."

Chu Chen thought to himself, this Mr. Wang should not be very familiar with antiques. Otherwise, I won't know, even if the price of antiques is only a few months apart, there will be considerable changes, and if you go to auction again, the possibility of exceeding 660,000 yuan can be said to be very small.

Chu Chen didn't agree eagerly, so Mr. Wang might change his decision, so he thought for a while before agreeing with a smile:

"Mr. Wang, since you are in such a hurry, then I will buy it, and we can sign the agreement now."

Hearing Chu Chen's promise, Mr. Wang also breathed a sigh of relief, and then the two sides made a simple agreement, and Uncle Wu served as a witness to the agreement. After the agreement was signed, they went to the bank together to transfer the money, and then said goodbye to each other.

After Uncle Wu saw Mr. Wang leaving in a hurry, he happily patted Chu Chen's shoulder and said:

"Okay, now there is a set of business, the current market, to win such a beautiful carmine, you can't take it without 600,000, this time you can be regarded as making a profit."

Chu Chen shook his head and said, "Uncle Wu, this is also because that Mr. Wang is too eager to make a move, otherwise he won't be able to get this money, and I don't plan to make money with this amphora." ”

"Oh! Seriously, I haven't asked you who you pulled the fiber for, and where did you get the 500,000? I know that you paid the rent and bought a computer some time ago, and the money you missed before was not enough for 500,000 yuan. ”

Hearing Uncle Wu mention this, Chu Chen was a little embarrassed, he hadn't mentioned what happened to Uncle Wu in the past two days, so the two talked while walking, and when they returned to Uncle Wu's shop, Chu Chen briefly explained the events of the past two days to Uncle Wu.

After listening to this, the expression on Uncle Wu's face was quite wonderful, he didn't expect Chu Chen's experience in just a few days to be so incredible. In just a few days, a millionaire was born so easily, which made Uncle Wu feel a sense of vicissitudes, and after digesting such a surprising news, he jokingly said to Chu Chen:

"Xiaochen, you didn't even tell me such a good thing, are you afraid that I will ask you to borrow money?"

When Chu Chen heard Uncle Wu say about borrowing money, he remembered that it was almost time to go to the UK for the holidays, which meant that Wu Ke's fees for the next semester would be paid soon, and whenever this was the time, it was Uncle Wu's most troubled time.

Although the antique industry seems to make a lot of money, but often the business is not stable, sometimes you make more, sometimes you earn less, otherwise there will be no such old saying as opening for half a year, although Uncle Wu has opened an antique shop for nearly 20 years and has made a lot of money, but Wu Ke's tuition and living expenses are also a lot.

Uncle Wu's savings over the years have almost been spent on Wu Ke, although she usually works abroad, but after all, it is a drop in the bucket. Besides, Uncle Wu didn't want Wu Ke to work very much, and kept calling her academically important, telling her that as long as you return to China as soon as possible, you will save more money than you can work.

Wu Ke is right, if you skip one level, you can save at least more than 200,000 yuan, so much money, if you rely on part-time work, you don't know how hard it will take to earn it, and it doesn't count the impact of your studies.

So she put all her energy into studying, she was originally smart, although skipping a grade was a bit difficult for her, but the hard work can still be completed. Last year, she finally completed this goal, so that the five-year bachelor's and master's degree can be completed next year.

Despite this, the tuition fee for one year is still a little nervous for Uncle Wu, and he can't say it, so he can only find a way to borrow money.

Thinking of this, Chu Chen was a little ashamed, Uncle Wu was usually so good to himself, but when he needed help, he didn't think at all, this really shouldn't be, so he was a little ashamed to justify:

"What's the matter, I'm just too busy these days to come to you, Uncle Wu, and it's not clear on the phone that such a thing is being said. Uncle Wu, don't bother, just hand over Xiao Ke's tuition to me, anyway, I have so much money now, I can't use it for a while. ”

When Uncle Wu heard Chu Chen say this, he said with some relief: "Even if Uncle Wu hasn't hurt you in vain for so many years, how can Uncle Wu ask for your money, and besides, you have reached the age of starting a family, do you also have to consider buying a house in the capital?" ”

"Uncle Wu, I'm only twenty-one years old, okay, when is it old enough to start a family? Besides, even if I want to buy a house, how can I use more than one million, and I am not ready to buy a courtyard, and I can't afford to buy a courtyard house with my little money. Okay, Uncle Wu, don't talk about it, I will be responsible for Xiao Ke's tuition, and I'll be in a hurry if I say it! ”

Uncle Wu listened to Chu Chen's categorical tone, and saw that he looked like he would not give up if you didn't promise me, so he had to nod his head and agree, and said jokingly: "Okay, can't I promise it?" But Uncle Wu doesn't have the money to pay you back, so you can ask Xiao Ke for it, and if she can't pay it back, she will mortgage it to you. ”

When Chu Chen heard Uncle Wu say this, he said with a bitter face: "Uncle Wu, just spare me, this money will be regarded as my support for Xiao Ke's studies, so I don't want her to pay it back." ”

In fact, the money has been settled, which also makes Uncle Wu's heart breathe a sigh of relief, although he sells some antiques, and he doesn't need to borrow much money, but although he seems to have an atmospheric appearance towards Chu Chen, he has the best face in front of others, whether it is for him or his family to borrow money, he really can't pull off the old face.

Nothing is light, it is the portrayal of Uncle Wu now, he wants to laugh a little when he sees Chu Chen's sad face, but the more he looks at him in his heart, the more pleasing it is, and he wants Chu Chen to be his son-in-law, but this kind of thing can't be forced, so it can only depend on the two of them.

Then, Uncle Wu looked at the amphora on the table, turned to Chu Chen and said, "You just said that this amphora was asked by Mr. Zhao to find you?" You are not afraid that your Uncle Zhao will complain about you for robbing him of his business. ”

Chu Chen said with a smile: "Uncle Zhao can't complain about me about this, and I think that Mr. Zhao should take this opportunity to test me, and in the future, I should replace Dong Lao's work. ”

Speaking of this, he asked another question: "By the way, Uncle Wu, don't you know that President Zhao is so dissatisfied with Dong Lao?" ”

"Well, I know a little bit about it."

Uncle Wu frowned and replied: "It is said that Lao Dong joined a newly opened auction house, and some dragons have disappeared recently, and people who often can't see him, it is estimated that Zhao always asked him for help several times, but he didn't agree, so he was annoyed, and the specific situation is only clear to the two of them." ”

Then he smiled and said: "This is also a good thing for you, follow him in the future, seeing the scene is one thing, the accumulation of knowledge must be stepped up, don't touch your eyes when the time comes, then your face can be lost to your grandmother's house." ”

"This amphora, it doesn't matter if you increase the price or not, even if you don't increase the price, Mr. Zhao will not let you suffer, the specific situation is up to you."
