Chapter 406: The Black Market (2)
After all, the black market is not a serious place, so customers who don't know each other often don't talk to each other, after all, no one will write the word bad guy on their faces.
Kang Yuming is not a fool, and he is now past the age of doing what he wants, even if he has a prominent family, he will not break this rule for no reason, so as not to arouse the disgust of the other party.
As mentioned earlier, Kang Yuming is also a frequent visitor to the black market, and he is still familiar with Zhu Dafu, an old man in the antique world, so he first greeted Zhu Dafu and said a few words of greeting before asking: "I take the liberty of asking, I don't know what to call this little brother?" ”
Chu Chen's feeling was still very keen, just now he had guessed Kang Yuming's intentions, although Kang Yuming was quite polite, but on this occasion, Chu Chen didn't want to say anything, so he replied simply:
"Hello, my surname is Chu, and I am considered a descendant of Uncle Fu."
When Kang Yuming heard Chu Chen's surname, he immediately thought of the prestigious Chu family, he and Chu Junfeng are good friends, Chu Chen's appearance is somewhat similar to Chu Junfeng, and if it is the Chu family, it is normal to have this kind of elite bodyguard, so he feels that this Chu Chen is likely to be a child of the Chu family.
However, what made him strange was that in his impression, the Chu family did not seem to have such a character, and Chu Junfeng had never mentioned it to him, which made him a little shaken by his previous judgment. In addition, Chu Chen said that he was the descendant of Uncle Fu, which made him even more disbelieving in his previous judgment.
Just as Kang Yuming was about to ask for clarification, someone was invited in by the staff, and when he saw one of the young people. I couldn't help frowning.
In fact, it was not only him, Chu Chen who was sitting next to him. also frowned, and secretly said bad luck in his heart. It turned out that it was none other than Yu Guangjie and Qian Changxing.
Yu Guangjie also frowned when he saw that Kang Yuming and Chu Chen were present, and when Qian Changxing saw Chu Chen, his eyes were full of anger and a trace of fear.
Qian Changxing felt that he was scared, but it was actually very understandable that Chu Chen was a first-class disaster star to him. The first time the two met, he lost his job because of Chu Chen. The second time they met, Yu Guangjie bought a fake painting, and the third time they met, Yu Guangjie bought a Chenghua blue and white lotus pond jar fake.
Anyway, when he meets Chu Chen, nothing good will happen, even if he is not very superstitious, when he sees Chu Chen at this time, he has some ups and downs in his heart.
The staff had good eyes, and they saw that Yu Guangjie and Chu Chen were not dealing with each other. hurriedly led the two to the other side.
Kang Yuming also saw Chu Chen's expression just now, so he asked with great interest: "Brother Chu, looking at the appearance just now, don't you deal with this kid Yu Guangjie?" ”
Chu Chen smiled slightly and said, "I have had a few conflicts with him. What about you? ”
"Me, it's about the same, it's an old grudge!" Kang Yuming smiled and said.
Kang Yuming's face remained silent. In his heart, because of Chu Chen's answer, he was a little confused. If Chu Chen was really a member of the Chu family, he wouldn't dare to provoke Chu Chen if he gave Yu Guangjie a few dares. But if Chu Chen is not a member of the Chu family, with Yu Guangjie's careful eye, how can he not retaliate against Chu Chen, how can the two of them be as calm as they are now?
No wonder Chu Chen is not a member of the Chu family, or is he a child of another family with a similar background to Yu Guangjie?
Kang Yuming couldn't think of a reason even if he wanted to break his head, in fact, the real situation was that Yu Guangjie didn't know that Chu Chen was a disciple of the Chu family, but he knew that Chu Chen was a disciple of Liu Lao, and he had a very good relationship with Zhao Qirui, which made him dare not act rashly even if he wanted to trouble Chu Chen.
"Alas, are you stupid, why do you want to do so much, just ask no."
Kang Yuming patted his head lightly, but just as he was about to speak, a middle-aged man in his forties walked out of the room inside.
The man walked to the table in the middle, coughed lightly, and then said angrily: "Hello everyone, my name is Bao Wen, I believe that many old friends here know me, new friends, let's be born and cooked again, if you think my thing is good, welcome to come to the next time, don't talk nonsense, now the auction will start on time." ”
As soon as Bao Wen's words fell, a staff member put a box on the table and took out the contents of it, Chu Chen looked at it, and it turned out to be a bronze mirror.
"Let's start shooting the first thing, the Tang Dynasty sea beast grape pattern mirror side, sheng pit, interested friends can come on stage to take a look, but please don't touch ...... with your hands"
Maybe because of the accident in the black market last time, the organizers didn't invite too many guests today, only twelve or thirteen in total, although there were not many people, but it can be seen from the clothes that these people are all either rich or expensive.
When Bao Wen finished speaking, someone walked up directly.
Although Chu Chen was not very interested in the things of Shengkeng, but not buying them did not mean that he could not watch them, and things like this were also a good opportunity to learn, so he also walked up.
Seeing Chu Chen walking forward to observe, Qian Changxing, who was sitting on the side, rolled his eyes and whispered a few words to Yu Guangjie, Yu Guangjie nodded slightly, Qian Changxing stood up and walked up as well.
In this black market auction, the time for each stage appraisal is five minutes, but this is the time for everyone to appraise together.
At this time, you can't get started and observe, which undoubtedly brings a certain degree of difficulty to everyone to judge the authenticity of things, but the black market is like this, the price of things is low, and it gives you a lot of convenience, so the organizers are not here to do charity.
This bronze mirror is round, the face diameter is nearly 167 kilograms, it belongs to the medium-sized bronze mirror, the copper mirror looks quite heavy, the texture is white, the back is a beast-shaped button, and the outer edge of the mirror is a high straight narrow line edge.
The back of the mirror is decorated with a high-relief grape pattern as the theme, and the sea beasts, birds, bees, butterflies, flowers and plants are decorated with patterns, which are gorgeous and complicated. Its composition is divided into two circles, because the branches of grapes and long-petaled flowers are connected to the outer circle from the inner circle, and even extend to the outer edge, so the world also calls this kind of bronze mirror "lintel grape pattern mirror".
The Tang Dynasty characteristics of this bronze mirror are very obvious, and the quality is excellent, and there is very little patina on the surface, if it weren't for the fact that this copper mirror looks very natural, Chu Chen would suspect that it has been treated.
Chu Chen was still very excited about this bronze mirror, but it was a pity that there were still traces of it that had just been unearthed on its surface, which made him hesitate a little.
As soon as Chu Chen returned to his seat, Kang Yuming asked familiarly: "Brother Chu, what do you think of things?" ”
Kang Yuming's impression of Chu Chen is not bad, plus the copper mirror market is very sluggish now, even if this copper mirror is auctioned, it is estimated that it is only about 20,000, and the value on the black market is even lower, so he nodded slightly and said:
"Not bad!"
"Okay, you must have an impression of this bronze mirror, the bottom price of this Tang Dynasty Sea Beast Grape Pattern Mirror is 2,000 yuan, and interested friends can bid......"
As I just said, the current market for bronze mirrors is very sluggish, and it is a pitted thing, if it is not a collector who specializes in collecting bronze mirrors, it is really not necessary to buy it, obviously, among the dozen or so people on the scene, they are basically not interested in it, so no one responded to the scene for a while.
"I'll give you two thousand!"
Seeing that no one bid on the scene, and the price was relatively low, even if it was bleached, it wouldn't cost a few dollars, so Chu Chen planned to buy the things and play with them.
"Five thousand!"
As soon as Chu Chen made a bid, Qian Changxing on the opposite side directly added three thousand as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, and after the bid, he looked at Chu Chen triumphantly.
Chu Chen didn't know what Qian Changxing was thinking, since he wanted to play, then let's play, so he glared at Qian Changxing fiercely, and bid:
"Six thousand!"
"Seven thousand!"
"Eight thousand!"
"Nine thousand!"
"Fifteen thousand!"
Seeing that the price had reached nine thousand, Zhu Dafu hurriedly pulled Chu Chen, but Chu Chen ignored it, but looked at Qian Changxing opposite with a hideous face and red eyes, and roared angrily.
"Twenty thousand!" At this time, Qian Changxing seemed to be infected by the atmosphere, and the plane seemed to be ready to go into battle shirtless.
It's just that what Qian Changxing never expected was that when he made a bid, Chu Chen turned around directly, apologized to Zhu Dafu, and then drank tea leisurely.
This completely different contrast made everyone else almost think that Chu Chen's appearance just now was just their illusion, and they were all a little stunned for a while.
At this time, Qian Changxing felt that his heavy punch was like hitting cotton, and he wanted to vomit blood depressedly, and this price increase was his idea, and he had to pay 20,000 yuan out of his own pocket.
Qian Changxing is Yu Guangjie's palm master, he lost face, Yu Guangjie's face is definitely not good-looking, as long as it can make Yu Guangjie lose face, Kang Yuming is very happy, and Chu Chen's hand is indeed playing beautifully, so he said with admiration on his face: "Brother Chu, amazing!" ”
Chu Chen waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't dare to be, I'm just playing a little trick." ”
"Small tricks are sometimes great wisdom!" Kang Yuming smiled and said: "By the way, I don't know if Brother Chu knows the current market price of this bronze mirror?" ”
"It's almost 20,000 at auction." Chu Chen replied.
It can only be sold for 20,000 yuan at a regular auction, and 10,000 yuan at a black market auction is already very high, you must know that unearthed artifacts like Lu Dao have to take risks, so Kang Yuming listened to Chu Chen's answer and felt very happy in his heart.
Qian Changxing took the money reluctantly, went to the stage to complete the transaction, and took the things, he turned his head to look at Chu Chen's gaze, both resentful and full of helplessness, at this time he felt as if he had fallen into a spell, otherwise why would he be so unlucky every time he met Chu Chen?
