Chapter 491: Street Encounters (continued)

Chu Chen heard that someone was pleading with Jian Xingzhi, and then thought of the arrogant attitude of the young man opposite before, and felt that the person who was pleading with Jian Xingzhi now had a great possibility that he was here for the young man, but he thought that Jian Xingzhi was not a fool, and he should not make any unwise moves.

At the same time, the woman's hesitant attitude towards the young man on the other side was so ruthless that her teeth were itching, isn't it just 10,000 yuan, and it doesn't kill him, if you really annoy the person opposite, let alone 10,000, even 100,000 can't be done!

To say that she actually hates Chu Chen very much in her heart, it is precisely because of Chu Chen that she is now banned by Wu Laosi, and in the end she can only find such a person who is not up or down as a boyfriend.

But she understands that even if she hates Chu Chen so much that she hates Chu Chen to death, it will not help, on the contrary, if she does something irrational because she hates Chu Chen, she will suffer in the end, after all, for her, Chu Chen is a giant, she is just an ant.

Now, seeing that the young man was so ignorant of current affairs, for her own safety, she could only pull the young man aside, and then tell him Chu Chen's identity.

"Why didn't you say it earlier!" The young man whispered in fear.

"So many people just now, what do you want me to say? What should I do if someone else hears it? The woman said angrily.

As soon as the young man thought of this, if the people around him learned of Chu Chen's identity, and spread the rumors, in the end, maybe people would think that Chu Chen was oppressing people with power, and then Chu Chen should not have anything to do, and his ending would not be better.

Thinking of this, he was anxious and wanted to agree to the price Chu Chen had just offered, but the "damn" mobile phone rang again.

The other side. Jian Xingzhi finished the phone call and walked over, and Chu Chen said to him with a smile: "Officer Jian." Who called you just now? ”

"One...... A friend! ”

Jian Xingzhi replied a little nervously, it was really a friend of his, who called him just now. And the relationship is still good, but what he didn't expect was that the young man opposite was his friend's brother-in-law, and his friend just wanted him to help, if it wasn't something strict, let his brother-in-law go.

To say that this matter was really not a big deal, but now that Chu Chen is involved, it has become a big deal. When his friend heard Chu Chen's identity, he was even more shocked, and hung up the phone without saying a few words, saying that he must let his brother-in-law do what Chu Chen wanted.

Chu Chen smiled slightly, and did not delve into this, which made Jian Xingzhi somewhat relieved.

After a while, the young man hung up the phone, and arrived at Chu Chen in three or two steps, and said uneasily: "Chu ...... Chu Shao. Just do it at the price you say! ”

"What's the use of you telling me, the key is to get the old man's consent." Chu Chen said lightly.

Hearing Chu Chen say this, the young man could only ask with a pleasant face: "Uncle, do you think this price is still satisfactory?" ”

"Ahh The old man came back to his senses. He said in a loud voice: "It's okay! OK! ”

Seeing that the old man agreed, the young man secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that the old man would open his mouth. At that time, with Chu Chen by his side, he also had to agree.

Actually, he thought so. It is simply to spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. With Chu Chen's character, even if the old man would open his mouth, he would not support it.

After paying the compensation, the young man said with a worried face: "Chu ...... Chu Shao, can I go? ”

Chu Chen said lightly: "Take these porcelain pieces with you before leaving!" ”

"Okay! Yes! The young man nodded again and again, and hurriedly picked up all the debris on the ground with his girlfriend, then said hello to Chu Chen, and left in a hurry.

"Chu Shao, if it's okay, then I'll go first!" Jian Xingzhi said respectfully.

Chu Chen smiled: "Okay, today's matter is really troublesome for you, there will be a chance to call for an hour in the future, let's drink together." ”

"Where, where, this is my job!"

Hearing Chu Chen say this, Jian Xingzhi was overjoyed, finished his words with a smile on his face, and left with another police officer.

"Captain Jane, who was that person just now?" Just a few steps away, the police officer who came with Jian Xingzhi couldn't wait to ask.

Jian Xingzhi said lightly: "The son of Secretary Chu's family." ”

"Secretary Chu?" The man looked puzzled, he really didn't know which Secretary Chu Jian Xingzhi was talking about.

Jian Xingzhi glanced at him and said, "Stupid, the one in charge of discipline inspection!" ”

The man gasped, and then hurriedly said with a smile on his face: "Captain Jane, you actually know such a big person, you must have a bright future in the future!" ”

Jian Xingzhi smiled and didn't say anything, but sneered in his heart, Xiaoxiao, dumbfounded, see if you dare to disobey me in the future!

At the same time, after Jian Xingzhi and the others left, the old man held Chu Chen's hand and said, "Little brother, thank you so much just now!" ”

Chu Chen smiled and said, "It's okay, it's just a gesture." ”

"It's your effort, but it's a great help to my family!" Speaking of this, the old man's expression was a little gloomy.

Seeing this, Chu Chen's heart moved, and when he was about to ask the old man what was going on, he heard the old man sigh softly:

"What about that gentleman just now, why is he missing?"

"He was gone before the police left." Wu Ke said on the side.

The old man said regretfully: "Why did you leave in such a hurry, I didn't even have time to say thank you to him!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the little boy next to him took the old man's hand and said, "Grandpa, let's go see Dad!" With money, Dad's illness should be cured! ”

"Well, yes! Let's go to the hospital now. The old man smiled, but there was a hint of sorrow in his smile.

Seeing this, Chu Chen opened his mouth and asked, "Uncle, don't you know that you still have a bowl like that just now at home?" ”

"What, you want to buy it?" The old man was stunned, and then hurriedly asked.

"yes, as long as it's like the one just now, I'll definitely buy it." Chu Chen nodded.

"The bowl like that is gone. But I still have a jade pendant here, do you want it? The old man took something wrapped in a red cloth from the pocket inside his clothes. Open the red face, and a jade pendant with complicated workmanship appears in front of everyone's eyes.

Chu Chen saw the jade pendant at a glance. knew that it was a good thing, but he didn't take it over, but said: "Uncle, it's not convenient for you to see here, why don't we find a place to talk about it in detail!" ”

The old man didn't have any opinion on this, and agreed: "Okay! ……”

Next, everyone found a teahouse nearby, and during this period, Chu Chen and the others also briefly learned about the old man's situation.

The old man's surname is Qiu. After the wife is gone, he lives with the family of his only son, but a few years ago, his daughter-in-law had an accidental car accident, spent a lot of money to rescue but did not save it, and the hit-and-run vehicle has not been found until now, and in the end he can only consider himself unlucky, but because he spent a lot of money, the family's economy is a little tight.

So Uncle Qiu's son began to make money desperately. finally lived a better life, but I didn't expect that a while ago, my son was found to have liver cancer, which was a bolt from the blue for Uncle Qiu. Fortunately, liver cancer is only in the early stages, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune.

This disease costs a lot of money, and if you don't do it, you have to replace your liver. Uncle Qiu's family's savings were not enough at all, and he didn't know where to get such a sum of money as an old man. Just when he was at a loss, he happened to hear a neighbor at the door discussing how valuable antiques were. And there are just a few things that have been handed down from his ancestors in his family.

Chu Chen asked Uncle Qiu to sit down, and asked a little strangely: "Then you should go to Panjiayuan to sell it, why did you come here?" ”

"Hey!" Uncle Qiu patted his thigh and said: "I didn't know where to sell it before, so I asked my neighbor, and my neighbor said that he knew a person who opened a handicraft store here, and he should accept these things, so I came over with things, but I didn't expect the other party to see that the price of this bowl was only two hundred yuan." ”

"As soon as I heard it, I felt that it was wrong, my bowl has been calculated for more than two hundred years, how can it be worth two hundred yuan in his mouth, at that time I felt that this person was not sincere, and left without a counteroffer, I didn't expect to encounter this!"

After listening to Uncle Qiu's story, Chu Chen and Uncle Wu all shook their heads, such a thing with a wide door can actually open the price of two hundred yuan, even if you want to lower the price, it can't be so outrageous!

However, the antique industry is uneven, this kind of person says too much, and says less and too little, so Chu Chen didn't care about him, picked up the jade pendant that Uncle Qiu put on the table and looked at it.

The material of this jade pendant is made of high-grade mutton fat white jade, which looks oily and lustrous on the surface, gentle and pure, and basically has no flaws.

The jade pendant is flake-shaped, it is a circular outline, based on the Han Dynasty Changyi Sun Pei, the upper part is carved with a double dragon, the face is opposite, and the head is cloudy. The lower part of the circular carved double phoenix pattern and the seal script "Changyi descendants" four words. The craftsmanship is exquisite, the masonry is smooth, and the carving is carved using techniques such as round carving, openwork carving, openwork carving, and line carving.

The workmanship of this jade pendant is exquisite, delicate and moist, and the carving is exquisite, with a typical palace office style, and has the style of the Qing Dynasty court antique and luxurious, which is a perfect model of workmanship. In addition, the two sides of the edge of this pendant are engraved with the serial number of the words "Qianlong year" and "must word".

At that time, Emperor Qianlong was very fond of ancient style, so the inner court everywhere paid attention to antique, this jade pendant is engraved with a thousand characters of Qianlong jade, is one of the antique jade made by the court of the Qianlong Dynasty.

According to records, during the Qianlong period, at different times, decrees were issued to order the manufacturing office to make such jade pendants. There should be more than 100 pieces of such numbered jade, and there are dozens of pieces in the Palace Museum in Beijing, and now there are such jade objects on display in the museum, which is numbered 181.

Therefore, Chu Chen guessed that this jade pendant should have flowed out of the palace in the late Qing Dynasty, which is really rare.

Chu Chen put the jade pendant in front of Uncle Wu beside him, and then said to Uncle Qiu opposite: "Uncle, I like this jade pendant very much, I don't know how much you want to sell it?" ”

Uncle Qiu shook his head and said, "I don't understand this aspect either, little brother, you should make the offer, I believe you!" ”

Although it was only a short contact, Chu Chen also knew that he should be an honest man, so he said directly:

"Since you say so, then I think 600,000 is more appropriate."

"How much?" Uncle Qiu was stunned and said, "600,000? Did I hear you right? ”

Chu Chen smiled slightly and said, "You heard it right, it's indeed 600,000!" ”

"It's not going to work!" Uncle Qiu waved his hand again and again: "I know you pity my old man, but the price you offer is too high." I can't take it! ”

Chu Chen explained: "Uncle, I really didn't drive very high. The current market value of this jade pendant is so much! ”

"Really? You didn't lie to me? Uncle Qiu asked suspiciously.

Chu Chen said with great certainty: "How can I lie to you, you don't believe it, go to the antique shop and ask in the future." Is such a jade pendant worth the price! ”

To say that this jade pendant is indeed worth 600,000 yuan, but generally speaking, it is impossible for antique shops to collect the original price, otherwise they will make nothing.

Hearing Chu Chen say this, Uncle Qiu looked at the jade pendant in Uncle Wu's hand in disbelief, he really didn't expect that his ancestral jade pendant would be so valuable. But he immediately became excited, with the 600,000 yuan, the money for his son's treatment was settled. And it is very likely that he doesn't need a white-haired person to send a black-haired person.

Chu Chen continued: "Uncle, what do you think, if you can, we can sign an agreement now." ”

Uncle Qiu nodded again and again: "Okay!" Good! I'm really sorry for you! ……”

After signing the agreement, Chu Chen was about to go to the bank with Uncle Qiu to transfer money, and at this moment, Uncle Qiu took out a silver coin from his pocket and said:

"Little brother, I know if it's someone else. I definitely won't buy my jade pendant at this price, and I don't have anything to thank you for, so I'll give you this silver dollar! ”

After speaking. He didn't allow Chu Chen to refuse, so he stuffed the silver coin into Chu Chen's hand.

Originally, this matter was not a big deal, but when Chu Chen saw this silver coin. But I was taken aback.

The surface of this coin is as bright as new, except when it is exposed to light. Except for a thin layer of slurry formed by time on the surface, it looks like a brand new product.

The obverse of the coin is engraved with a profile portrait of Dr. Sun Yat-sen. The top is engraved with "24 years of the Republic of China", and the back is engraved with a brig, and the left and right sides are listed with the value of "one yuan". In other words, this silver coin like Sun Yat-sen should have been minted by the Shanghai Central Mint in the 24th year of the Republic of China.

The reason why Chu Chen was surprised was because the 24th year of the Republic of China was 1935, but as early as 1929, the Kuomintang government began to implement the so-called "legal tender" policy, using the paper money issued by the three major banks of the central government, China, and communications as legal tender, and the silver was nationalized.

Therefore, the twenty-four years of Sun Yat-sen's silver coin must not be in circulation in the market, and Chu Chen has never seen this kind of silver coin sold in the coin market, although it may not be a unique product, but it must be a handful.

"Uncle, this silver coin is so precious that I can't accept it."

Since he knew the value of this silver coin, Chu Chen would definitely not accept it with peace of mind, if he did that, it would be a moral problem. He would rather not have this silver coin than accept such a valuable gift from an old man whose family was in difficulty.

Uncle Qiu said with some displeasure: "Little brother, you are not interesting, isn't it just a silver dollar, what is precious or not precious." If you don't like it, then just say it. ”

Chu Chen hurriedly explained: "Uncle, you misunderstood, how can I not look down on this silver coin, to tell you the truth, the value of this silver coin is not much lower than the value of the jade pendant, how can I accept such a valuable thing?" ”

"What?"

Hearing Chu Chen say this, not only Uncle Qiu was dumbfounded, but everyone else was also quite shocked, and Uncle Wu hurriedly stepped forward to ask for the silver coin and looked at it carefully.

"Little brother, you didn't lie to me?" Uncle Qiu said with some stammering.

Chu Chen spread his hands and said, "Uncle, why should I lie to you about this, it's ugly, I'm not so rich that I have nowhere to spend it, don't you say?" ”

At this time, Uncle Wu also appreciated the silver coin, nodded and said, "This is indeed a very rare silver coin, and its value is indeed not much lower than the jade pendant." ”

Seeing that Uncle Wu also said the same, Uncle Qiu understood that this inconspicuous silver coin was indeed a treasure, which suddenly made him feel as if he was in a dream, and he couldn't believe that he would encounter such a good thing.

After a while, he came back to his senses and asked, "And how much is this silver dollar worth?" ”

"Five hundred thousand!" Chu Chen replied.

"Shhh Uncle Qiu gasped: "Just such a thing, can it really be worth 500,000?" ”

Chu Chen smiled and said: "The things in our line are not valued by size, whether things are cheap or expensive, the most important thing is to look at the historical value and rarity of things, to make a simple analogy, it is like a pound of silver and half a pound of gold, although gold is less, but in terms of value, it is much more expensive than silver." ”

"Oh, that's it!" Uncle Qiu nodded, then he thought about it and said, "Then let's do it, let's calculate the whole number, you can give me a total of one million for two things, I am already very content to have so much." ”

Chu Chen waved his hand and said: "Uncle, I don't suffer a loss if I buy 500,000 yuan, and I have channels, I can earn tens of thousands of dollars if I turn my hand, and to put it mildly, 100,000 yuan is really nothing to me, but you are different, in addition to the cost of treatment, your family always has to live!" ”

"This ......" The old man was a little hesitant when he heard Chu Chen say this, to say that what Chu Chen said was indeed reasonable, if his son wanted to change his liver in the future, it would be a big expense, and he heard that after changing his liver, he would have to take tens of thousands of yuan of medicine every year, and then maybe now this 100,000 yuan would be his family's life-saving money.

"Alright, let's settle this matter!"

As he spoke, Chu Chen took out the agreement printed in the store in advance and filled it out and put it in front of the old man.

Seeing this, Uncle Qiu had to sign his name with some embarrassment. …… (To be continued......)
