Chapter 959: Stubbornness
Seeing his friend frowning and standing there silent, Wang Mingcai patted him on the shoulder and said:
"Lao Wu, next time I will introduce a few people to you, otherwise you don't have any familiar informants, it's better to go to the countryside less to receive goods. In addition, it is best to go in a group when you go, although the harvest may be less, but the chance of two people looking at it together will definitely be less. β
Wang Mingcai likes to be more steady, and he believes that it is definitely not worth taking a big risk for money. Although his character may lose some opportunities, correspondingly, it will not cause a lot of losses due to accidents.
And Wu Renmin's personality is the opposite of Wang Mingcai, if it weren't for this, he would not have been able to store more than 100 pieces of light colored porcelain at one time waiting for appreciation.
In addition, Chu Chen felt that Wu Renmin was still quite stubborn, just like now, he and Wang Mingcai spoke so thoroughly, Wu Renmin expressed his agreement and gratitude to Wang Mingcai on the surface, but he was still a little disappreciative in his bones.
Wu Renmin's personality is still commonplace in the world of antique collecting, as mentioned above, most collectors are smart people, but smart people also make mistakes. Moreover, things in the world are sometimes really weird, and the smarter the person, the greater the mistake and the harsher the consequences.
For example, in the antiques industry, there are quite a few collectors who have the problem of Wu Renmin's self-righteousness and stubbornness.
Generally speaking, collectors are people with a lot of self-confidence, because most collectors are successful people who have succeeded in other careers before they have the leisure to collect. They tend to easily bring their past achievements into the realm of collecting. So. These people are self-confident and self-righteous. Some of them are even paranoid to the point of stubbornness.
Admittedly, collectors must have self-confidence. People who do not have self-confidence are not suitable for collection, but at the same time with self-confidence, they must be humble, learn with an open mind, listen to opinions, and the stones of other mountains can be attacked. The collector is sometimes very strange that he can see the fakes collected by others, and the fakes in his own collection. But I can't see it, and I insist that it's genuine.
And, when other collectors pointed it out to him, he thought to himself, you have collected so many fakes, and you are still here to teach me a lesson? I'm much better than you.
Just like the second year when Chu Chen came to the capital, a customer had a blue and white plate that he wanted to sell to Uncle Wu, and the ban pointed out the problem on the spot, which made Uncle Wu praise for a while. But when it comes to Chu Chen's own shopping. But I can't see the authenticity of a piece of porcelain, and the more I look at it, the more I like it.
This incident made Uncle Wu reprimand, and it also became a wake-up call that Chu Chen kept in mind all his life.
In addition to Chu Chen, Chu Chen has seen and heard many such examples. Not to mention anything else, when I participated in the filming of a TV show a few years ago, there was a Tibetan friend. took a large blue and white jar from the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty and put it out. Let's take a look. The type of instrument is wrong, and the pen is not right. The blue and white are not right, the tire is not right, not to mention Chu Chen, and the other experts present can also see at a glance that it is a fake.
But this Tibetan friend just disagrees, and I reserve my opinion that the truth is sometimes in the hands of a small number of people. It made all the experts feel a little crying and laughing.
Of course, this person can indeed reserve his opinion, or he can be stubborn, but if he continues to collect according to this view, he will not make progress, and he will only continue to pay tuition in the future until he wakes up.
And if Wu Renmin is still stubborn, Chu Chen feels that he will still have to suffer in the future.
Wang Mingcai could also see Wu Renmin's disapproval, but he had said it all to this, but the other party still didn't accept his opinion, and he had nothing to say.
He pointed to the two fakes and said, "Old Wu, what are you going to do with these two things?" β
Wu Renmin smiled bitterly: "This Yunjin is still somewhat valuable, I am ready to wait for a suitable opportunity to sell it, as for this blue and white pot, I must go to Lao Chang to settle accounts, I have made a lot of money for him, he actually came to this hand, it is really too deceitful!" β
In the end, Wu Renmin's eyebrows were a little straightened, and a few traces of anger flashed on his face.
Seeing this situation, Chu Chen secretly shook his head, although he didn't know that old man very well, he also knew that he was a treacherous person, and it was basically impossible to settle accounts with him.
Of course, it is not a relative, and Wu Renmin is a bit stubborn, even Wang Mingcai does not express any opinion on this matter, and Chu Chen will certainly not persuade him.
Everyone chatted a few more words, and the car and staff sent by Dong Fatzi also arrived, so the group helped pack more than 100 pieces of porcelain and carefully moved them into the car one by one.
After waiting for the transport vehicle to leave, Chu Chen was also ready to say goodbye and leave, but Wang Mingcai stayed, saying that there was something to discuss with Wu Renmin, and this matter had nothing to do with Chu Chen.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The next day, Chu Chen went to Uncle Wu to pick up Wu Ke, and then drove towards Duan Xuefeng's car.
Wu Ke looked at the scenery outside the window and asked, "Hey, Achen, this doesn't seem to be the way to the company, right?" β
Chu Chen smiled: "It's really not the way to the company, I'm going to buy you a car today." β
Wu Ke said angrily when he heard this: "Okay, why do you want to buy a car, or are you unwilling to pick me up every day?" β
Chu Chen gently pinched Wu Ke's face and said with a smile: "Silly girl, how could I not be happy to pick you up?" It's not that I'm busy, in case I have something to drive the car to the field, isn't it inconvenient for you! β
"Drive seriously!"
Wu Ke patted Chu Chen's hand on his face, and then said with some twist: "But since I learned to drive, I haven't driven for several years, and at my current level, I can't become a road killer." β
Chu Chen patted his chest: "I'll teach you in a while, plus your smart head, you will definitely learn it as soon as you can." In fact, instead of worrying that you forgot to drive, you should think about the onset of some road addicts. β
Wu Ke glanced at him: "Who do you say!" β
Chu Chen smiled and didn't speak, this kind of thing should not be said more, otherwise Wu Ke would definitely not give up.
Wu Kejiao said angrily: "Dead, don't forget, there is still a GPS navigator now, can I still lose it?" β
Chu Chen suddenly said: "Oh, I almost forgot about it." β
Wu Ke said with a smile: "Don't you forget it, how can you forget this kind of thing?" β
Chu Chen also smiled: "Just because I can't forget, no navigator is as good as my brain, of course, I won't remember this kind of thing." β
"Cut, you stink......"
While talking and laughing, Chu Chen's car stopped at the door of Duan Xuefeng's car dealership.
The staff of the car dealership had a deep impression of Chu Chen, and knew that he was a friend of the boss, and when they saw Chu Chen coming in with Wu Ke, one of them hurriedly greeted him.
After greeting Chu Chen, the staff said, "Mr. Chu, did you come here today to find our Mr. Duan, or to buy a car?" β
Chu Chen smiled and said, "Mr. Duan, I'll go later, take me to see the car first." β
The staff was very happy when she heard this, she knew that Chu Chen was not the one who was short of money, since she came to buy a car, she would definitely make a move, although Chu Chen was a friend of the boss, the price of the car was relatively cheap, but as long as she sold it, her commission would definitely not be less, this kind of thing, of course she would be happy.
"Mr. Chu, I don't know what car you want to buy?"
"This is my fiancΓ©e, and the car was bought for her."
When the staff heard that Wu Ke was Chu Chen's fiancΓ©e, they didn't mention the envy in their hearts, but she felt that someone like Chu Chen must have an extraordinary background in finding another partner, coupled with Wu Ke's beauty, she immediately put away her thoughts.
The staff first politely asked Wu Ke's surname, and then asked, "I don't know what car you like?" β
Wu Ke thought for a while and said, "Just a fashionable car, I don't know if you have any recommendations?" β
Chu Chen smiled when he heard this: "Didn't you like sports cars the most before, and you also said that you want to have the most expensive sports car in the world." β
Wu Ke said with a smile: "Haven't you heard that girls have a gorgeous dream, surrounded by fashion, parties, princes, and sports cars?" I'm not a little girl now, and besides, the prince also has it, so don't be so public, it's better to be a good wife and mother, and of course you don't need a sports car. β
Chu Chen smiled when he heard this: "Then listen to the opinion of this good wife and mother." β
Seeing this, the staff opened their mouth and said, "Miss Wu, in that case, let's go and see BMW, I think this brand of model is quite suitable for you......"
Chu Chen and Wu Ke nodded in agreement, and then under the leadership of the staff, they came to the BMW exhibition area together.
After some selection, Wu Ke didn't pick a satisfactory model, she frowned, ready to look at other brands of models under the mention of the staff, but she inadvertently looked in the direction of the side, but suddenly saw a favorite car.
Wu Ke pointed to the car and asked, "Hey, that's the latest Beetle, right?" β
The staff nodded and said, "Yes, it is indeed the new Beetle this year." β
Chu Chen asked, "Do you like it?" β
"Hmm!" Wu Ke nodded, feeling that she liked this model very much, which was more in line with her ideas.
So, under the leadership of the staff, the two walked to the show car. As a result, the more Wu Ke looked at it, the more he liked it, and felt that it had to be.
Speaking of which, the Beetle car is indeed a high-tech personalized model, especially the new models after 2000, which are more popular with modern young people. Of course, the price of more than 400,000 yuan makes the new Beetle no longer a civilian car, but a high-priced girl, and it is not something that ordinary people can afford.
Seeing that Wu Ke liked the Beetle, the staff said with some embarrassment: "Miss Wu, you need to make a reservation to order the Beetle, I don't know if you can wait?" β
Chu Chen asked, "Isn't there a current car?" β
Although there is no urgency in this matter, and it is nothing to wait for a while, but since he is here, returning empty-handed is not what he wants. (To be continued......)
