Not long after the car drove out, Chu Chen received a call from Chen Dewang, on the phone, Chen Dewang apologized to Chu Chen again and again, and Chu Chen generously said that it didn't matter, after all, this matter was not what Chen Dewang wanted to see, and he would not hate Yu Xu.

Although Chu Chen said that it didn't matter, Chen Dewang still felt sorry for Chu Chen, because if it weren't for him, Chu Chen would not have been able to buy things at the market price of 150,000 yuan, after all, Jia Decai's things were urgently sold, and if they were sold to others, it would be good not to give a discount, and it would be impossible to buy them at the market price anyway.

Therefore, Chen Dewang pondered in his heart that he must thank Chu Chen if he has the opportunity in the future.

After hanging up the phone, Chu Chen sent another message to the people who were in charge of finding out about Jia Decai, asking them to pay attention to Jia Decai's whereabouts. Then, when he saw that the time was still early, he asked Zuoshan to take him to his courtyard, looked at the progress of the construction, and turned around and was generally quite satisfied.

After lunch, Zuo Shan stayed in the courtyard, and Chu Chen drove back to the antique shop by himself.

When he got there, Chu Chen found that Uncle Wu was not there, so he asked Wenping next week, but what surprised him was that Uncle Wu actually went home drunk to rest, which made him feel very curious.

Although Uncle Wu also likes to drink, he is usually very restrained when he goes out, especially when he is in the store, even if he drinks, he will only drink a small cup, in his memory, Chu Chen has never seen Uncle Wu get drunk in the store, do you think he can't be curious?

Subsequently, Zhou Wenping told Chu Chen the reason for the incident, and Chu Chen understood what was going on.

To say, Uncle Wu has been in the antique business for so many years. It's impossible to be harmonious with every peer, but it's really not big to say that the antique circle is big. Let's just say that there are some famous antique dealers in the antique industry in the capital, not to mention that they have all met. I've basically heard of it.

In line with the idea of bowing his head and not looking up, even if Uncle Wu has had disputes with some antique dealers, or does not look at each other correctly, he usually does not show too much. But Uncle Wu gritted his teeth with hatred for an antique dealer named Ren Shiguo, and the two sides had reached the point where they were incompatible, and the two of them would fight at the first opportunity.

Speaking of which, Uncle Wu's temper is good enough, and he can't be angry if he is light, so he can be said to be a good man in the antique world in Beijing. Many people like to deal with him, and Ren Shiguo can make him angry like this, which shows how bad he is.

Ren Shiguo started very early in the antique industry, and began to set up a stall in the late eighties to do business, he was shrewd and good at seizing opportunities, and opened an antique shop in a few years by picking up a few missed money.

Actually, Uncle Wu and Ren Shiguo were still good friends at that time. Many of Ren Shiguo's things were sold to Uncle Wu, and Uncle Wu was more honest, and the price he gave Ren Shiguo was fair. Even more ironic is the shop of Ren Shiguo's antique shop. It was Uncle Wu who helped to talk about it, and after the two became enemies, this matter has always become a thorn in Uncle Wu's heart.

Since Ren Shiguo opened an antique shop. He became angry, and he was no longer as cautious as before. For example, in the past, he called Uncle Wu Old Wu. Since opening the antique shop, Wu Lao has been transferred and has become Lao Wu.

This point is nothing to Uncle Wu, but Ren Shiguo's pry into his behavior makes Uncle Wu unbearable. Of course, Ren Shiguo also knows that this kind of thing is easy to be criticized by others, and he usually does it secretly, but once, in front of him, he pried the Qing Kangxi Wucai Magu birthday plate at the price that Uncle Wu had already negotiated, which made Uncle Wu angry enough.

Moreover, what made Uncle Wu even more angry was that a week before, Ren Shiguo sold him a piece of Huanghuali furniture from the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, which was actually a "loose head" product.

Pao Santou is also known as "climbing the mountain", which is a term used for antique restoration. Originally used to evaluate the repaired old calligraphy and painting, in the old furniture industry, it specifically refers to the repaired old furniture. It mostly refers to the renovation of damaged and incomplete handicrafts, or the repair of them to hide the eyes of the eye.

It is different from "restoration", which is public, while "picking up scattered heads" is often hidden, in order to deceive people.

Originally, Uncle Wu was not very proficient in the appraisal of classical furniture, so he did not give a positive answer, but he didn't expect Ren Shiguo to hear the news, so he told Uncle Wu that he had a suitable thing in his hand, and Uncle Wu didn't think much about it.

In the process of watching, Uncle Wu didn't find anything wrong, but Ren Shiguo explained it with reasons and guaranteed that this piece of furniture must be genuine.

Antique trading, integrity is the most important, and ordinary people will not take what they have said as a fart, so Uncle Wu saw that Ren Shiguo could guarantee that the thing was genuine, so he bought the thing, but he didn't expect this to be the result.

And what made Uncle Wu even more angry was that when he went to Ren Shiguo to settle accounts, the other party didn't admit that he had said the fidelity at the beginning, and he was in a hurry, and he actually asked Uncle Wu to come up with evidence of what he said.

This matter was originally a gentleman's agreement, how could Uncle Wu get evidence, he could only suffer a dumb loss, and finally lost money.

Since then, Uncle Wu and Ren Shiguo have been on the same page, and in this year, countless conflicts and secret wars have broken out between the two sides, and the total amount of money lost by the two is estimated to be at least more than 100,000. Of course, most of them are contributed by Ren Shiguo, who called Uncle Wu a good character, and everyone is willing to help him?

However, in fact, it is precisely because Uncle Wu is good that Ren Shiguo dares to treat him like this, otherwise if he replaced Zhao Xueyi, he would have been tricked a long time ago.

As the old saying goes, if people don't know, unless they don't do it, as Ren Shiguo's character is known by more and more people, plus he has often done some things that harm others and benefit himself over the years, so he has also been rejected by more and more antique dealers, and in the end, he can only guard his antique shop to survive.

Everyone knows that there is an old saying in the antique shop called "don't open for three years, open for three years", Ren Shiguo's antique shop can still do business from time to time. It has stood firm all these years.

But with the vigorous development of the antique market, Ren Shiguo saw that many antique dealers around him made a lot of money. I was also a little anxious a while ago. By chance, he met a master of antique porcelain, so he moved his brain to this and entered a batch of high melamine.

Ren Shiguo is not from Beijing, he originally planned to sell this batch of high melamine and go back to his hometown to open an antique shop, but he didn't expect it to backfire, a buyer found out that he bought high melamine, yesterday afternoon, he went to Ren Shiguo to make trouble. As a result, the matter immediately spread, and this morning a buyer came to his store to ask for a return, and even called the police, saying that he would go to jail.

After listening to the cause and effect of the incident, Chu Chen gloated and asked, "Where is Ren Shiguo now?" ”

Zhou Wenping shook his head: "Many people are looking for him, but no one has found anyone, it is said that he has gone to other places, and now some buyers have come to his house to block the door, if it weren't for the fact that there are still old people living in his house." Maybe all the belongings have been emptied. ”

Chu Chen smiled, anyway, even if this matter can be solved in the end, Ren Shiguo can't please it, such a thing. He's still very happy to hear about it.

While talking, the two saw an old customer named Wang Ruyang walk in.

As soon as Wang Ruyang greeted the two, he said with a little excitement: "Do you know? There was another accident in Ren Shiguo's store. ”

Both of them thought he was talking about antique porcelain. They all nodded.

Wang Ruyang said with a smile: "If you want me to say, Ren Shiguo also deserves it." It would be nothing if he sold sporadically, but he actually bought more than a hundred pieces at a time. Now that it's good, people are hiding and not talking, and the shops are empty. ”

Hearing this, Chu Chen asked a little strangely, "What stores have been emptied?" ”

"Ahh Don't you know? Wang Ruyang was a little confused when he heard this.

Zhou Wenping said: "We thought you were talking about antique porcelain, why did you get involved in the antique shop again?" ”

"Oh!" Wang Ruyang was stunned, and then said excitedly: "What I'm talking about is that someone smashed open the door of Ren Shiguo's antique shop just now and emptied everything inside, not even letting go of a small bench." ”

"Doesn't anyone care?" Chu Chen and Zhou Wenping were quite surprised.

"Who cares about the character of Ren Shiguo?" Wang Ruyang spread his hands and said: "I heard that the person who smashed the door also has some background, and the things he bought were used for gifts, and he gave a fake, do you think you can not be angry?" ”

Chu Chen shrugged his shoulders when he heard this, although he didn't like things to be done so out of line, but what Ren Shiguo did also responded to the old saying, it is still forgivable to do evil in heaven, and you can't live if you do it yourself.

Everyone expressed their opinions on Ren Shiguo's matter, Wang Ruyang took out a small gourd, put it in front of Chu Chen, and said, "Teacher Chu, I just bought a hand-twisted gourd, can you please help me comment on it?" ”

"No problem." Chu Chen smiled and nodded, and took the gourd in his hand.

In recent years, China's traditional "cultural play gourd" has become more and more favored by players in the large and small antique collections and other markets in Beijing. Because the pronunciation of the gourd is similar to "Fulu", it has the auspicious meaning of wealth and longevity, and has been the traditional mascot of our country since ancient times. In China's traditional architecture, the gourd shape is also a frequent decorative element, and traditional Taoism even uses the gourd as a sacred weapon.

Due to the unique auspicious meaning of the gourd, with the vigorous development of antique collections, the small and lovely hand-twisted gourd is now more and more sought after by players.

The gourd in the market is roughly divided into play gourd, ornamental gourd, painted gourd, special-shaped gourd, songworm gourd and so on.

Wang Ruyang's gourd is a branded gourd, as the name suggests, the pattern on it is burned (hot) by a transformed electric soldering iron, so it is only black.

The paintings above are mainly divided into: landscapes, people, animals, ancient myths, ancient spirit animals (such as: dragons, phoenixes, unicorns, three-legged crows, etc.) and other auspicious patterns.

The theme of this gourd is the three immortals of Fu Lu Shou, the drawing is quite exquisite, Chu Chen measured the height with a vernier caliper, the whole body is about 4.2 cm, it should be said that although this height of the hand twisted gourd is not uncommon, but in the need to use an electric soldering iron to paint the gourd, it is rare.

Think about it, if you want to paint on something 4.2 centimeters, if the artist does not have a high level of skill, it must be very difficult to complete the painting and still reflect the artistic value.

Chu Chen admired the gourd in his hand and said with a smile: "Mr. Wang, the gourd you chose is very good." ”

Wang Ruyang was quite happy that his own things could be affirmed by Chu Chen, he arched his hand to Chu Chen, and said, "Please also ask Teacher Chu for guidance." ”

"Then I'll tell you what I think."

Chu Chen explained: "First of all, the wall thickness of your gourd is lubricated and glossy, and this gourd will automatically change color over time. Gourds like this have a long lifespan, and as long as they are not dropped, they will not break and can be stored for a long time. ”

Moreover, the effect of this gourd painting is also very good, and the brand will also take on the copper color and the original black color over time. The gourd with poor texture has thin and fragile walls, no matter how long it is, it will not change color, and the traces of the brand are only copper-colored ...... of the underworld" (to be continued......)
