Chapter 924: The suspicion is too serious
Early the next morning, Uncle Wu and the others flew back to Beijing, while Chu Chen and Wu Ke had a happy four-day tour in Star City, which was quite enjoyable.
Just as Chu Chen was about to return to Beijing on Friday, the dealer named Xiaoma called him on Thursday night, and Chu Chen remembered that he had promised to go to Xiaoma's to see his collection last Saturday. Anyway, there was nothing important recently, so he happily agreed, preparing to meet at the Qingshuitang antique market tomorrow.
Early the next morning, after breakfast, Chu Chen, Wu Ke and Zuoshan took a car to the Qingshuitang antique market together.
It's also a coincidence, today is the Qingshuitang antique market, there is also a market, Chu Chen When they first arrived at the market, there were quite a lot of customers in the market, but after all, it was Friday, and there were still fewer people than last time.
Anyway, there was plenty of time, so Chu Chen took the lead and walked all the way to the pony's stall, but he didn't know if it was bad luck today, or if the good things had been sold out, and all the way down, Chu Chen only gained two gadgets.
Of course, there are only so many good things in the world, and Chu Chen doesn't expect to pocket all the good things.
Xiaoma's stall is almost at the end of the antique market, and the location is still a little remote, Chu Chen and the others walked there with a smile, there were not many buyers, only two, and according to Chu Chen's experience in the past five years of hawker career, one of them had no idea of buying.
Sure enough, as Chu Chen thought, as soon as he said hello to the pony, the man stood up, clapped his hands, and left directly.
Another buyer, Chu Chen, felt that he should be a novice. This can be seen from his unfamiliar appreciation. In general, this kind of traffickers are very fond of it. Because it's so easy to fool. Especially the folk collectors who consider themselves "masters" after reading a few cultural relics books, the dealers like it even more.
Although this person seemed to be a newcomer, Chu Chen also had to say that he was lucky, as soon as he said hello to the pony, this buyer took the best thing on the pony's stall and took it into his hand and observed it carefully.
However, what made Chu Chen feel strange was that at the beginning. There was still some joy on the buyer's face, but after a while, as if he had suddenly thought of something, his expression began to look hesitant and tangled.
In the hands of the buyer, it is a straight barrel-shaped pen holder, the outer wall is shallow carved Tongyin bamboo stone, a corolla rooster, and engraved with a poem.
This thing can be described as illustrated and elegant. The knife work is concise, the effect is expressive, the text is also beautiful and dignified, and the pulp is calm. Quiet and cute.
Even if Chu Chen didn't take a closer look, he knew that this was a famous work that opened the door to the generation, and he really couldn't figure it out. What is there to be entangled and hesitate about, is it because the buyer did not bring enough money. Or do you think this tube looks too well preserved and too shiny?
Seeing that the buyer hesitated, he didn't decide whether to buy or not to buy after more than ten minutes. Xiaoma couldn't stand it anymore, and said with a smile: "Big brother, my pen holder was received from an old lady's house, and her ancestors have been officials, so you can rest assured!" ”
The buyer frowned when he heard this, and found that Chu Chen next to him was staring at the things in his hand and admiring them, as if he liked it, so he directly put the pen holder back in its original position and said, "Forget it!" I don't want anything! ”
After speaking, he stood up and prepared to leave, but before he could take a few steps, he turned around and said to Chu Chen: "Young man, look at your talent, what is not easy to do, you have to be a 'trust'!" I advise you, change your career as soon as possible, it's still too late! ”
After speaking, without waiting for Chu Chen to speak, he left quickly, which made Chu Chen and the others look inexplicable.
After a while, Wu Ke laughed and said, "I didn't expect our Chu University expert to be regarded as a trust, I really laughed to death!" ”
Chu Chen smiled bitterly, he really didn't know what to say about it. Staring at what is in other people's hands and appreciating it will also be regarded as a trust, and it is the first time he has encountered it in so many years.
Pony smiled and said: "Maybe my words were misunderstood by him, but this pen holder is really from an old lady, even if it's not a good thing, at least the age is not bad, I think he heard too much about the next set, and some overreacted!" ”
Buy gold in troubled times, and collect it in prosperous times. With the improvement of living standards, people are more and more interested in antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and the market has begun to become more and more popular. At the same time, with the entry of some newcomers, the chaos in the antique industry has intensified, and various scams have emerged in endlessly.
Generally speaking, the old rivers and lakes in the antique industry like the kind of collectors who think they are "masters", but the appraisal level is obviously a half-ass, but they are full of confidence and want to "pick up the leaks".
The way to rip off customers in the antique market is very simple, it is nothing more than two tricks: one is to "borrow a knife to kill people", and the other is to "play tricks".
"Borrowing a knife to kill people" is to use "support" to set buyers. The original "trust" came from those vendors or young men around me, but then it didn't work, because once it was raw and twice cooked, it was not good to always show a familiar face, and it was easy to goof.
With such concerns, an industry came into being, that is, the "trust" of the profession. Most of these people are also from rural areas, and their job is to walk around the market every day. When a stall owner needs them to "fish", they come up and lure the buyer with words such as "I've been around the market and finally found something good", and then come back to the stall owner after the transaction is completed.
Another trick to "trick the mystery" depends on the performance skills. For example, "I got this product from so-and-so, and if it weren't for the fact that you are an expert, I wouldn't have taken it out." When saying these words, he also makes the gesture of looking left and right, afraid that others will hear.
Generally, these two tricks come out, and the mallets are eight out of ten. Nine bought it, even if the price is big, these people must be very satisfied in their hearts.
However, these two tricks are used a lot, and someone will always sum them up, and some well-intentioned ones will remind friends who have just entered the industry to pay attention. However, newcomers, if they are not fooled a few times, they will not remember the lesson, so remind them that this kind of scam should still be stepped on.
Of course, there are also people who keep this kind of reminder in mind and avoid many losses for themselves, but if the suspicion is too serious, it will undoubtedly miss a lot of opportunities, just like the buyer Chu Chen and they met.
After laughing, Xiao Ma said, "Teacher Chu, why don't we go to me?" ”
"Wait!" Chu Chen waved his hand, then picked up the pen holder and said, "Let me take a look at this cylinder first." ”
Xiao Ma was slightly stunned, he really didn't expect that Chu Chen also took a fancy to this pen holder, and hurriedly smiled and said, "Okay, you can look at ......"
Chu Chen looked inside and outside the pen holder and found that there was a "Yungu" under the poem.
Yungu is the word of Yang Qian, a famous seal carver in the Qing Dynasty, Yang Qian's family origins, inheriting his father's business, Jingqi Huang, Gong Seal carving, Li Yang Bing Law, especially Gong Yazhu, and good at research, for a time of fame.
Yang Qian's seal carving was very prestigious at that time, among the "Yangzhou Eight Monsters", Jinnong Baiwen "Jin Ji Jin" seal, Zhu Wen "Jin's Shoumen Calligraphy and Painting" seal were all engraved by Yang Qian, and the "Luo Ping Private Seal" used by Luo Ping was also from Yang Qian's hand. Yang Qian and Luo were very close, and they also sang poems and harmony with Jin Nong. Yang Qian's seal carving had a profound impact on later generations, and Zhao Zhichen in the famous "Xiling Eight Families" all imitated his prints.
After appreciating the treasure, Chu Chen can finally be sure that this is Yang Qian's authentic handiwork, which has a history of two or three hundred years since now, and it is not easy to preserve it so well. Perhaps it was precisely because of this that the buyer just now was suspicious, and he was too suspicious, so he finally had the same misunderstanding as just now.
Chu Chen was still very satisfied with the pen holder in his hand, so he said, "Pony, let's start a price." ”
At that moment just now, Xiao Ma had already thought about the price, but he was worried that Chu Chen would not be satisfied with the price he gave, so he said with some hesitation: "Teacher Chu, I think you are twenty-five thousand, what do you think?" ”
"Okay! That's it, will the money be given to you now or later? "You know, the current market price of the pen holder is estimated to be about seventy or eighty thousand, how could Chu Chen not agree.
"Just give it together in a while......" Seeing Chu Chen so refreshing, Xiao Ma was also very happy, and hurriedly packed up his things, and took Chu Chen and the others to the outside of the market to take a taxi, ready to go to where he lives now.
However, Chu Chen and the others didn't see it, and the process of their fight happened to be seen by the buyer just now.
Seeing this situation, the buyer said to his friend with some righteous indignation: "Lao Liang, I didn't expect the antique market to be rampant with scammers as you said, if I hadn't had a good eye just now, I guess I would have been deceived a long time ago!" ”
Coincidentally, Lao Liang in the buyer's mouth happened to be one of the witnesses that day, at this time, he was looking at the direction of Chu Chen and the others left, and he was very envious that the pony could get close to Chu Chen again.
The buyer's words brought Lao Liang back to his senses, and he asked with some curiosity, "What's the matter?" ”
The buyer recounted what happened just now with some anger, and said: "Originally, I wasn't 100% sure that the young man was trusted, but I didn't expect them to blatantly take a car and rent a car together just now!" ”
"That's too ...... Well? ”
Lao Liang just wanted to echo a sentence, but suddenly thought of a possibility, and hurriedly asked: "Does the young man you are talking about look ......like this?"
"Yes, this is this person!" The buyer nodded again and again: "Lao Liang, you also know him, it seems that this kid is still a habitual offender!" ”
"What a habit!" Lao Liang slapped his thigh, and said with some sadness: "That's Teacher Chu, Lao Chen, you must have missed something!" ”
"Which Teacher Chu?" The buyer was stunned, and some couldn't figure out what the situation was. (To be continued......)
