Chu Chen still appreciates Warren's statement, not to mention anything else, at least it makes him feel very comfortable. But in fact, to be honest, as he is now bent on taking this pen holder into his pocket, the last thing he wants is to have something extraneous. If Warren wants to return the item to his friend, then he really doesn't know if he can buy this treasure smoothly.

Of course, even if Warren decides to do this, Chu Chen will only appreciate his personality, and he will definitely not have any opinions, now hearing Warren say this, he said with a smile: "Mr. Warren, then let's talk about the price of things!" ”

As he spoke, he put the pen holder on the desk in the room, and the things for this transaction were all concentrated here, and there were eight things in total.

Warren smiled when he heard this: "Chu, you are a good person, in a sentence of your country, a good person should be rewarded." I'll give you a million pounds for these things, what do you think? ”

When he said this, Warren didn't think much about it, mainly because he was very excited now, so he could say whatever he wanted in his heart, but when he said it, he felt quite painful.

You must know that if it is really sold for one million pounds, then the discount he gave Chu Chen will be almost 2 million RMB, and the money will be nothing before his business is fine, but now it is a bit painful for him.

Before Chu Chen could speak, Kelly next to her heard the price and lost her voice: "Daddy!" I heard you right, you say a million? ”

Kelly didn't know the true price of the pen holder, so she was measured by the previous information. It was a little difficult to accept the price of one million pounds offered by my father. After all, Chu Chen was found by her relationship with Guò Mina. Now her father is ready to slaughter Chu Chen fiercely, how can she raise her head in front of Mina in the future?

Chu Chen explained with a smile: "Kelly." Don't think about it, Mr. Warren's offer is already so good that it makes me a little unacceptable! ”

Warren gave his daughter a reassuring look, and then said, "Chu, I think this price is very appropriate, because without your truth, how could I make a million?" ”

Although the preferential treatment given to Chu Chen made him feel a little distressed, he did not regret making such a decision. Like he said, if it weren't for Chu Chen's good heart, he wouldn't have been able to make this money at all. Although it is true that he only cares about his own interests in business a lot of the time, in this situation, he still knows what to do.

Chu Chen smiled slightly: "Mr. Warren, I can indeed say it without shame, I have a lot of credit for today's incident, if it is someone else, it doesn't matter if I accept it." But your situation is a bit special after all! I think it's okay to remove a fraction. ”

Warren thought about it, he was not as good as before, and he really didn't have the strength to be generous, so he said a little embarrassedly: "Chu." In that case, then I'm not welcome, these things are a total of 1.1 million pounds. It's like you said. This has removed all the odds, and you can't say no more! ”

"Okay! So be it! "That said. It is still equivalent to more than 700,000 RMB cheaper, but. This time, he did recover tens of millions of losses for Warren, and Chu Chen stopped being hypocritical, and agreed with a smile.

"But, Mr. Warren, I don't have that much pounds for a while, I wonder if I can settle it in rice dollars?"

For Warren, there was no problem with either the pound or the dollar, and he happily replied: "Absolutely!" ”

Seeing the transaction process between the two, Kelly next to her was really confused, she really couldn't figure out what was going on, and after the two sides agreed on the matter, she couldn't help the curiosity in her heart anymore and asked, "Daddy, what's going on?" ”

Warren, who had agreed with Chu Chen, was very happy, and he said with a smile on his face: "To put it simply, since this pen holder is to be owned by Chu, it is a genuine product. ”

"Genuine?" Kelly was surprised when she heard what her father said: "But when I called you yesterday, why didn't you mention it?" ”

"Because this matter was confirmed by Chu just now!" Warren laughed.

"Ahh

Seeing his daughter's surprised appearance, Warren said with a smile: "Wait until we deal with this matter first, and the specific things will be talked about later at dinner!" ”

"Okay......"

Kelly looked at her father and Chu Chen signing the contract with an incredulous expression, and waited until her father verified the authenticity of the check written by Chu Chen, and the two sides shook hands to celebrate the success of the transaction, before she believed the qiē in front of her, but she still couldn't understand how such a change could happen.

Not to mention Kelly, even Warren's wife was very surprised when she learned about this situation, and it wasn't until Warren told the reason that everyone suddenly realized, glad that Warren was not deceived at the same time, and scolded that the liar was not a thing.

Kelly said angrily: "This liar is so hateful, Daddy, you must go to the police in a while and bring that liar to justice." ”

Warren nodded and said, "Well, I'll go later!" ”

At this time, Mina spoke: "Mr. Warren, didn't you just say that you met that scammer at the antique shop you frequented, could it be that the scammer and the owner of the antique shop know each other?" ”

"It's possible!" Warren muttered.

There is an old saying that is good, those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black, since the owner of the antique shop is not very good, the two may really know each other.

"Daddy, then you might as well find that guy through that liar!" Kelly said with some excitement.

"Yes!" Warren also nodded again and again with a smile, but after a while, his feelings fell again, and he smiled bitterly: "But even if I find that person, I can't recover my previous losses, so let it go!" ”

Hearing her father say this, Kelly also reacted, the owner of the antique store handled it very well, even if she knew that it was a fake, she couldn't settle accounts with the other party, which made her feel very uncomfortable, so she looked at her father as if complaining.

Seeing this, Warren smiled a little embarrassedly, and Mrs. Warren smiled and said to Warren: "My dear, I think you should study first in the future, so as not to be deceived by the other party, and say that the other party is good!" ”

Kelly took over and said, "Yes, and if you want to appraise, go to the auction company for appraisal, and then you won't be deceived." ”

"Kelly, that's not necessarily what you're saying." Chu Chen said with a smile.

Hearing Chu Chen say this, except for Wu Ke, who had heard a little about this aspect, everyone else at the scene seemed quite surprised.

Warren asked in surprise: "Chu, you don't mean that the auction company will deliberately say that the real is fake, right?" ”

"Large auction companies should be more formal in this regard, and some small auction companies may do this kind of thing."

Chu Chen said: "Moreover, it is not only true that it is false, but it is also very possible that it is false. ”

Mina frowned and asked, "Chu, you're not wrong, it's really false, it's because the other party wants to take things for himself, but if it's false, what's the benefit to him?" ”

Chu Chen replied with a smile: "Because in some auction companies, the appraisal fee is charged according to a certain percentage of the final value of the item, the higher the value, the higher the appraisal fee, in this case, do you say that the other party will say that the fake is true?" ……”

Nowadays, with the auction prices reaching new highs, many investors or speculators have set their sights on this market, making the antique market bloom everywhere. And because of the particularity of the antique market, some people with ulterior motives have also entered this industry.

In addition to the two situations mentioned by Chu Chen in the market, there are also some appraisers who look at the money and talk, invest in what the customer likes, talk about what the customer likes to hear, and the customer is the one who suffers in the end.

Because such "experts" are too active, they have muddied the market at the good end, resulting in an unprecedented credibility crisis for the identification of cultural relics. Different from other "nurseries" on the market, cultural relics "appraisers" are particularly dangerous because they are wearing "cultural shirts" and doing things that are demeaning to culture.

This also makes it necessary for today's collectors to "find" a satisfactory real antique, and to have a pair of sharp eyes. And we must not listen to the foolery of some so-called "experts", otherwise we will definitely suffer a big loss because of this.

Take furniture as an example, when Chu Chen first entered the industry, Uncle Wu told him how an "old piece of furniture" was born.

This is done by splashing rice swill or tea on the newly made furniture and then resting it on the dirt floor outside and letting it rain or shine. After repeated operations for two or three months, the wood grain of the furniture naturally cracked, the paint cracked and peeled off, and the color of the log was dark, thus showing the "old" appearance of the weather.

The "old furniture" made by this kind of fraud is often very realistic, and even some experts will be eyed in this regard, not to mention newcomers who have just entered the industry with relatively little knowledge. In addition, some unscrupulous "appraisers" now specialize in selling these things, so it is strange not to confuse the buyer.

After listening to Chu Chen's explanation, everyone couldn't help but look at each other, they couldn't imagine that there were so many cats in the current antique market.

"Chu, if you say so, I won't dare to buy your country's antiques next time!" Warren smiled wryly.

Chu Chen smiled and said: "Whether you buy the real thing or not, the key depends on your eyesight, at your current level, to be honest, I think it's better to see more and buy less." ”

Mrs. Warren took over and said, "Yes! Chu is right, my dear, I think you should read more books in the future, as for shopping, let's wait until you have studied thoroughly! ”

In order to avoid being deceived by profiteers again in the future because he was not good at learning, Warren, who was told by Chu Chen, could only smile bitterly and agree: "Okay then......" (to be continued......)
