Chapter 1084: Surprised news
Professor Gao thought for a moment and said, "Master Chu, do you have time now?" ”
"Professor Gao, I'm really sorry, I have something to do in a while."
Chu Chen shook his head, the reason why he agreed to Jiang Jiachang was because for him, it would not take much time to identify the authenticity of a painting, and it would not affect him much. But if you help Professor Gao to identify it again, the delay will be a bit long, and he will naturally refuse.
For Chu Chen's answer, Professor Gao felt a little regretful, but he didn't persuade much, this is mainly because Chu Chen is too young, although he explained it just now, but to make him completely agree with Chu Chen, it is obviously not something that can be achieved in a while.
At this time, Jiang Jiachang hurriedly said: "Professor Gao, if it is convenient, you can bring that painting to me, and I will help you ask an authoritative expert to appraise it." ”
"Wouldn't it be too much trouble." After all, the painting belonged to his elders, not his, and Professor Gao felt a little embarrassed.
"Where, where." Jiang Jiachang smiled and waved his hand: "That's how I do business, either I don't do it, I want to do my best, since I handled this painting, I must reassure you." ”
Professor Gao was very satisfied with Jiang Jiachang's statement, thinking that it was safe to do business with people like Jiang Jiachang, if this matter could be satisfactorily resolved, he would definitely ask Jiang Jiachang first if he had antique needs in the future.
"Thank you so much Boss Jiang, when will I bring the painting?" Professor Gao asked.
Jiang Jiachang pondered for a moment and said, "It's estimated that the day after tomorrow, can you see it?" ”
"Okay. Then the day after tomorrow......"
After Professor Gao left, Chu Chen and the others also said goodbye to the Jiang family. Then the car arranged by Jiang Jiachang was sent to Wu Ke and them.
…………
In the blink of an eye. It's Thursday, and after a few days of playing, Wu Ke and the others have already visited all the more famous scenic spots in Haojing, and they have had a lot of fun.
Although Chu Chen and Zhao Qirui didn't finish visiting the attractions together because of the delay, they were not the kind of people who particularly liked to travel, and they would have time to travel in the future, so they didn't feel any regrets about it.
Besides. Chu Chen also has a lot of things, and the tenth of next month is his and Wu Ke's wedding, although the marriage basically doesn't have to worry about the two of them, but what should be prepared is still to prepare, therefore, in the next period of time, Chu Chen's time is relatively tight.
In this way, everyone ended this trip to Haojing, and Zhao Qirui booked a ticket for everyone at three o'clock this afternoon. As for the time before three o'clock, it is dedicated to shopping.
In the eyes of ordinary people, when it comes to shopping paradise, they will think of Xiangjiang, but in fact. The shopping charm of Haojing cannot be stopped, because of the low tax policy, which makes it cheap and good. A shopping environment full of surprises.
Popular items in the market include jewellery, clothing, toys, antiques, antique furniture and electronics. In most stores where the price is not clearly marked, if the customer asks for it. Discounted offers are often available. In most small shops, bargaining is extremely common.
Other than that. The prices of things in the Heights and Xiangjiang are basically the same, but the exchange rate in the Wonderlands is a little lower, so it is cheaper. Although the exchange rate is not much, and the savings are all small money, but the accumulation of small amounts cannot be completely ignored for shopping experts.
Of course, there will always be some dark places around the world, for example, if you are traveling with a group, some tour guides will take tourists to the shopping place before leaving, introducing that this is the world's major brands fancy the manufacturing workshop set up here in the low-tariff environment of Haojing, and the things here are sold to consumers at the factory price.
In fact, the various brands of things in it look fake, but there are always some tourists from the mainland who do not know the truth to spend in it, and they think they have bought a bargain, but they suffer a loss. Therefore, this is also something that needs to be taken very carefully.
Chu Chen, of course, they will not go to this kind of place to shop, they went to the T Galleria in Haojing, where there are two T Galleries, formerly known as the famous DFS Universal Duty Free Shop, both of which are located in the core area of Cotai, and they are also very close to each other. One is on the ground floor of the Four Seasons store, and the other is on the ground floor of the City of Dreams store.
Considering the time, they only went to the Four Seasons Store.
Next, Chu Chen and Zhao Qirui witnessed what is called shopping spree. As the saying goes, three women in one play, not to mention the eccentric Zhao Heyan. In the blink of an eye, everyone's hands were full of handbags, fortunately, these things could be delivered to the hotel, otherwise Chu Chen's body would be enough.
In this way, after shopping for more than an hour, Zhao Qirui was already a little sad and couldn't bear it. In this regard, Zhao Heyan said with a smile that this was his punishment for not giving them gifts.
"I said Achen, you kid is just too inauthentic, isn't this trapping me in injustice!" Zhao Qirui complained.
Looking at his uncle's sad expression, Chu Chen smiled and said, "I can't help it, if I said it that day, how would you give me those jewelry!" ”
Zhao Qirui said angrily: "How do you know that I won't let you?" Besides, you paid later, why don't you remind me, I'm so prepared! ”
"Didn't you forget about the things that followed?"
Chu Chen saw a sly look flashing in his uncle's eyes, and said with a smile: "Just say what compensation you want." ”
"Hehe, ...... you" Zhao Qirui was about to make a request, but his mobile phone rang, and when he took it out, it turned out to be Jiang Jiachang's call.
Thinking that Jiang Jiachang must have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, he asked bluntly: "Jiang Fatty, what's wrong with you?" ”
"This ...... Mr. Zhao, I want to ask Chu Shao to save me! ”
"Didn't you say that you invited two experts, why do you need to save the emergency?"
Jiang Jiachang smiled bitterly: "There's no way, they are now insisting on their own words, and they can't set the result at all." I didn't want to bother Chu Shao. But none of the experts I know have time for now. I can only ask Chu Shao for help. ”
"Achen, Fat Jiang asked you to go over for help. What do you think? Hearing that this was the case, Zhao Qirui turned to Chu Chen and asked.
"No way!"
Before Chu Chen could speak, Zhao Heyan jumped over and refused, snatched Zhao Qirui's mobile phone, and said, "Fat uncle!" My brother and my sister-in-law are preparing to buy some things for marriage, if my brother comes to you for appraisal, then how can my sister-in-law discuss it alone? ”
Jiang Jiachang was surprised: "Ah! I'm so sorry! I really don't know about this, so I'll think of something else! ”
"Count you as acquaintances!"
Zhao Heyan snorted, and then returned the phone to Zhao Qirui.
"Got it. It's not that I don't agree. Zhao Qirui said with a smile.
Jiang Jiachang hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's okay, if I had known that Chu Shao had something important, I wouldn't have come to trouble him." Could you please help me talk to Chu Shao and them......"
When Zhao Qirui hung up the phone, Zhao Heyan said with a smile: "Dad, I'm here to help my brother and sister-in-law, but I didn't mean to let you lose this opportunity to escape." ”
"You girl, what do you think of your dad!" Zhao Qirui scolded with a smile, and then pulled Chu Chen aside. He said softly: "September is my wedding anniversary with your aunt, I want you to help carve a set of jewelry, I can prepare the materials myself, what do you think?" ”
"That's going to be fine!" This kind of thing Chu Chen definitely can't drop the chain. He said, "I'll also prepare the materials for you." ”
"That's not good, if you come, it doesn't mean I'm too insincere." Zhao Qirui shook his head resolutely.
Chu Chen smiled: "Then you can pay me for the materials again." After all, I have a lot of materials, so it's easier to find."
Zhao Qirui thought about it. Nodding his head, he said, "Okay, that's it." ”
Then. Gao Yiya shouted not far away, "Hey, what are you two muttering there?" It's not like it's a discussion about how to be lazy, right? ”
"It's coming, it's coming! You said that, how could we do such a tasteless thing......"
The shopping spree mode was then turned on, and the shopping continued until more than twelve o'clock at noon, during which they also went to the lounge to order drinks and snacks, and Meimei enjoyed it and then went out to fight again, which made Zhao Qirui really miserable, and when it came to lunch, the whole person was a little paralyzed.
In the private room of the hotel, Zhao Heyan looked radiant, as if shopping had no effect on her at all, she said with a smile: "Dad, haven't you just been shopping for a long time, you are actually tired like this." I see that when you get home, you should work hard to exercise your body, otherwise you will be almost like a fat uncle. ”
Zhao Qirui said speechlessly: "I said you Xiaoyan, you are too buried in your father." ”
Gao Yiya chuckled and said: "I think Xiaoyan is right, look at your belly, it's much bigger than before, if you don't exercise, I guess it's really possible to fight with Jiang Fat." ”
Zhao Qirui saw everyone's smiles, looked at his stomach again, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, okay, I'll exercise when I have time when I go back." ”
"What does it mean to have time, you will follow the time for Ah Chao's early exercise in the future."
Gao Yiya then said to Ah Chao, who was sitting on the side: "Ah Chao, do you remember to supervise him when you go back, do you know?" ”
"Okay, I see." Ah Chao said with a smile.
"Humph!" Zhao Qirui snorted and didn't express any opinions, on the one hand, exercising is really good for himself, and on the other hand, no matter how much he argues at this time, the result is still the same, it is better to save some energy.
The restaurant served the food very quickly, but the speed of everyone's eating was not slow, especially Zhao Heyan, who was still alive just now, at this time, it was as if she hadn't eaten for ten days and half a month, and she stuffed the delicious food into her mouth one by one, and everyone was amused when she ate it.
After padding their stomachs, everyone's chopsticks slowed down, and the women began to discuss what they had just bought, while Zhao Qirui and Chu Chen chatted about business.
Zhao Qirui and Chu Chen touched their wine glasses, and then said, "Achen, let's just leave those Hailao porcelains like that?" ”
"What else?" Chu Chen said.
"I mean, should we do something about it. For example, do you have any good ways to hype up Hailao porcelain? Zhao Qirui said.
If Hailao porcelain is some varieties of low value, Chu Chen is still relatively resistant to speculation, but Hailao porcelain is actually a porcelain variety that does not match the market value and actual value. Then as long as the control is good, the temporary hype will not hurt.
Chu Chen thought for a moment. smiled and said, "Actually, this matter is relatively easy for you." ”
"Easy? What's the easy way? Zhao Qirui was a little puzzled by this.
Chu Chen said: "It's very simple. Let the country carry out the archaeological excavation of the shipwreck, and then let the TV station and newspaper focus on it, people's attention will not be on this, and then the sea fishing porcelain is still afraid that no one will pay attention? In addition, my museum can set up a Hailao porcelain exhibition hall for publicity, which can also play a role. ”
Zhao Qirui listened to Chu Chen's explanation, and immediately knew that the feasibility of this matter was very high, and patted Chu Chen's shoulder with a smile and said, "It's still your brain that is flexible." I'll do it when I get back, and then we'll be able to wait and count the money." ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, and Zhao Qirui then asked, "By the way, Liu Lao seems to have called before, right?" Is Cai Jianxuan's matter eyebrows? ”
"Sort of."
Chu Chen said: "You may not expect that the owner of the antique shop who sold the Jiao Thai bottle at the beginning is likely to be the same person as the old man who was related to Su Changtou this time. ”
"What? No way?! ”
Hearing the news, Zhao Qirui exclaimed in shock. This also alarmed the others at the table.
"Dad, what are you talking about?" Zhao Heyan leaned over and asked.
"That's the case......" Chu Chen repeated the matter to everyone.
When everyone heard that this was the case, they were all quite surprised, and Wu Ke said, "No." Didn't you say that this man went abroad? Why do you still stay in the Realm? Also, how did he come back quietly? ”
Chu Chen shook his head: "The master said that this was discovered by the case-handling personnel after comparison. However, although the two are very similar in terms of size and appearance. But there is only a ninety percent chance that it is the same person. ”
Zhao Heyan said: "The probability of ninety percent is already very high, I think it is almost certain that it is the same person." ”
Zhao Qirui said: "Who can say this accurately? What if they're just two people who are more alike? If this is the case, the investigation of the original person is relaxed. Didn't you lose a key clue in vain? ”
The others nodded in agreement, but I don't think the police would give up the clue because of this.
At this time, Gao Yiya said: "I'm curious, how did that person evade the police investigation in normal times, did he stay in the house and not come out?" ”
Chu Yulan said with a smile: "I usually put on makeup, but if I want to do a thorough cosmetic surgery, it's okay." ”
Zhao Heyan chuckled: "He's an old man, what else do you do with plastic surgery, can you still be from fifty years old to twenty years old." ”
Wu Ke said with a smile: "Don't say it, I really saw this kind of thing on the news, and because the customs couldn't recognize it, I was suspected of forging a passport and was under investigation." Because there are so many such things, plastic surgery hospitals have begun to prescribe 'plastic surgery facts' for customers to help them pass the entry and exit customs inspection. ”
Hearing this, Zhao Huayan was surprised and said, "Isn't it, now the plastic surgery is so powerful?" If this development continues, then can't you live forever? ”
"How is this possible?" Gao Yiya said with a smile: "If you cut a double eyelid or order a mole or something, it will have no effect, like fifty years old to twenty years old, then the change will be big, and there will be sequelae when you are old, like what kind of eyes are crooked, and a little bit of stern zhòng will be disfigured!" ”
Zhao Qirui took over and said: "If you want me to say, unless it is because of an injury or a congenital defect, then plastic surgery is nothing, and it is better not to have plastic surgery in other cases." If you are not married, no matter how you fix it, it is impossible for the child born in the future to become what she (he) looks like after plastic surgery, how to solve it then? ”
Wu Ke said with a smile: "It's not that there is a plastic surgery hospital that can issue a certificate, just throw the certificate out at that time, all the raw rice is cooked and cooked, what's the matter, anyway, the child can't return the goods." ”
"Haha." Chu Chen laughed with everyone for a while, and when he talked about plastic surgery, a vague aura dissipated in his mind, but he couldn't think of what it was, which made him a little distressed.
Just as Chu Chen was thinking about it, Zhao Qirui asked, "Ah Chen, did Liu Lao tell you?" Where has that man gone now? ”
Chu Chen came back to his senses and shook his head: "No." I haven't even figured out where the man came from, or if he has disappeared out of thin air. It's weird. ”
Zhao Qirui sighed when he heard this: "Hey! I don't know when Cai Jianxuan's gang will be uprooted! ”
The longer Cai Jianxuan survives, the greater the danger to the antique market, as an antique practitioner, Chu Chen is also a little anxious, but he is powerless in this matter, and he only has helplessness in his heart.
I don't know if it was affected by Chu Chen's mood, everyone suddenly quieted down, and the atmosphere in the room began to be a little dull.
At this time, the waiter walked in and prepared to serve the food. Zhao Heyan's position was right opposite the door, she looked outside the door and said with some surprise: "Hey, that's not a fat uncle, why is he also eating in this restaurant?" ”
Zhao Heyan spoke a little loudly, plus Jiang Jiachang's hearing was good, and when everyone reacted, Jiang Jiachang also walked into the private room with a surprised face.
After saying hello, Zhao Qirui asked curiously: "I said Jiang Fatzi, aren't you in the store?" Why did you come here? ”
Jiang Jiachang smiled bitterly: "It's not for that painting, I asked someone to find an appraisal expert who lives here, but the other party can't be sure after looking at it for a long time." ”
Zhao Qirui smiled: "Who are you looking for, Fu Baoshi's figure paintings are so distinctive." None of the three experts can confirm it? Besides, if you compare the "Erxiang Picture" you handled, you can almost judge the authenticity. Or do you not believe the results of my nephew? ”
"How could I not believe it!" Jiang Jiachang waved his hand again and again to indicate that this was not the case, and then whispered with a bitter face: "The key is that they don't believe the results given by Chu Shao." To be honest, that "Erxiang Picture" was the friendship price I gave at the beginning. I didn't make much money, and today, all the money I earned is about to be lost. ”
Zhao Qirui smiled when he heard this, expressing disbelief.
"Really, lied to you being a puppy." Jiang Jiachang swore an oath.
Chu Chen smiled: "Although I didn't see that painting, I can also tell that there is something wrong with that painting based on the places that Professor Gao pointed out that day, how can it be so difficult to identify?" ”
Jiang Jiachang explained: "The time when Fu Baoshi paid for the key painting was before Fu Baoshi went to Jingangpo, and at that time he had not fully established his own painting style, so those problems can be explained. ”
Zhao Qirui said: "You are also stupid, won't you find a work from a different period to compare?" Don't tell me how difficult this thing is for you. ”
"Hey! Why didn't I think of that! Jiang Jiachang patted his forehead, but now that Chu Chen was present, there was no need to be so troublesome, he asked Chu Chen with a smile on his face: "Chu Shao, please save me!" ”
Zhao Heyan said with some dissatisfaction: "Fat uncle, you really know how to pick time, don't you see that we haven't finished eating yet?" ”
Jiang Jiachang hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, then I'll take them to the side and wait for a while." ”
Chu Chen stood up with a smile: "It's okay, I'm already full, and we have to catch a plane in a while, let's solve this matter now." ”
Jiang Jiachang hurriedly expressed his gratitude, because it was not convenient to identify here, so he went out with Chu Chen and Zuo Shan, ready to ask for another private room. In addition, Zhao Qirui explained to the others and followed out.
When he went out, Chu Chen saw two people standing outside the door, one of them was Professor Gao, and the other was about the same age as Professor Gao, and he looked a little familiar.
When Jiang Jiachang introduced the two parties, and heard that this person's name was Peng Fangyue, Chu Chen remembered that this person was the one who was auctioned last week, and the one who was auctioned was actually Zhang Daqian's imitation of Shi Tao's "Luohan Picture".
Peng Fangyue is also very impressed with Chu Chen and Zhao Qirui, especially Chu Chen, with the table of the auction that day, it is difficult for people to remember. But now it seems that Chu Chen looks gentle and elegant, and his attitude is relatively polite, not like a gentleman at all.
And Chu Chen has no need to act now, since this is the case, Chu Chen's appearance that day must have been pretended, as for why this is happening, it is not difficult to guess based on Peng Fangyue's experience, which makes him sigh, it is really terrifying!
Originally, Peng Fangyue heard that Chu Chen was only in his twenties, and he was a little scoffing. It is no wonder how the profession of antique appraiser, the most experienced profession, can be qualified by young people in their twenties? But now that he has made a new discovery, it is not impossible for him to feel that Chu Chen is an appraiser...... (To be continued......)
PS: I'm really sorry, because of Carvin, this chapter is even later.
