"Mr. Zhao......"

Zhao Qirui had just said hello to a friend when he heard a hearty voice in the distance.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a fat, bloated middle-aged man like a big meat ball, walking quickly from the gate with a surprised face, and Chu Chen was worried about whether he would collapse the floor.

Subsequently, the man greeted everyone warmly, during which Zhao Qirui also introduced the two sides, it turned out that this person's name was Jiang Jiachang, and it was the friend Zhao Qirui said earlier who had Hailao porcelain.

When Jiang Jiachang heard that Chu Chen was Zhao Qirui's nephew, he was familiar with Zhao Qirui's background, and surprise flashed in his eyes, but he didn't flatter him immediately, his words were both enthusiastic and graceful, and with his somewhat happy figure, Chu Chen's impression of him was good.

Since he saw Zhao Qirui, Jiang Jiachang didn't plan to sit somewhere else, and after saying hello to Zhao Qirui, he sat down in the position next to him with his bodyguard, and then asked, "Mr. Zhao, when did you come to Haojing?" ”

"Just a few days after I came, I said Jiang Fatty, didn't you swear before that you wouldn't participate in the auction? Why is it here again today? ”

Jiang Jiachang used to be a frequent visitor to various antique auctions, but once, because of his rivalry with an enemy, although the thing was auctioned, it cost millions more, and he felt that his face was lost, so he vowed not to participate in antique auctions in the future.

And from then until now, Zhao Qirui really hadn't heard of him participating in any auction, so Jiang Jiachang's arrival felt a little strange.

Jiang Jiachang smiled and said, "When I swore at the beginning, there was a premise. Only ......"

"I said Jiang Fatzi, your Mandarin is too non-standard. Can you say it slowly! ”

Jiang Jiachang's Mandarin is not standard, and he speaks it quickly. Therefore, everyone had a hard time listening, so Zhao Qirui immediately interrupted him and reminded him with a smile.

"I'm so sorry I didn't pay attention for a while."

Jiang Jiachang hurriedly apologized, and then tried to control the speed of his speech: "When that guy was alive, this oath was valid, but some time ago that guy died, and of course the previous things were over." ”

Zhao Qirui was stunned when he heard this: "Oh? I don't think he's very old, right? ”

"Two years older than me, and I heard he died of a heart attack."

"Heart disease?"

Jiang Jiachang nodded. said: "Speaking of which, this thing is really strange, that guy I know that he is in good health, and I heard a friend of mine say that he just had a physical examination half a year ago, and there is no problem at all, and I don't know why he suddenly got a heart attack, and he died all of a sudden." Hehe, and it's funny. He had just married a young girl in her early twenties a few months earlier. ”

Listening to these words, everyone is reminded of the plots that often appear in novels and TV dramas to seek money and kill people.

Zhao Qirui asked: "Didn't the police investigate?" ”

"Of course, it's impossible not to investigate."

Jiang Jiachang smiled and said, "However, the autopsy shows that he did die of a heart attack. The police have no evidence, and it is gone. ”

At this time, Zhao Heyan suddenly thought, "I said." Could she have used a poison that can cause heart disease symptoms and not detect any residue in her body? ”

Gao Yiya said with some tears and laughter: "You girl has read too many novels." Where in the world is that poison? If there is, then it's not messy. Some people can kill whoever they want. ”

Zhao Heyan swore and said: "That's not necessarily, besides, even if someone develops this poison, he will keep it secret, it's normal for us not to know." ”

Gao Yiya said speechlessly: "According to what you say, the immortals are also zài, and we can't see them anyway." ”

"Maybe you really have to save zài." Zhao Heyan grinned.

"I'm too lazy to talk to you......"

Jiang Jiachang said with a smile: "Actually, we also think that the possibility of being killed is relatively high. ”

"How?" Everyone is very curious about such gossip.

Jiang Jiachang shrugged his shoulders: "It's very simple, because that little girl has a will in her hand, and it was made a few days before he died, saying that he left all his family property to that little girl." Some time ago, the little girl actually remarried with an inheritance of hundreds of millions. Now his parents and ex-wife are in a lawsuit, saying that they do not recognize the will and want to redistribute the estate. ”

Hearing this, everyone also thinks that the possibility of being killed is very high, but even if people all over the world think so, it is in vain without evidence.

With nothing to do, everyone gave full play to their imagination on this topic. During this period, the guests who came to the auction were almost there. At 9:55, everyone saw the auctioneer walking to the rostrum with a smile on his face, and the scene immediately fell silent.

The auctioneer said some polite words as usual, and then talked about some auction rules, which are similar to those of a regular auction, and few of the guests present do not understand.

Then, when the first lot of the auction appears on the screen behind the auctioneer, the auctioneer announces the start of the auction.

At the auction in the morning, Chu Chen's idea was to try not to let the foreigner succeed as much as possible, even if the foreigner was bound to win, he would have to pay a little price. For this reason, he has abandoned his usual low-key style, as long as the lot he is eyeing is called fierce when bidding.

Moreover, Chu Chen didn't know how to use strategy when auctioning, a few times, some people deliberately wanted Chu Chen to suffer a loss, but instead Chu Chen was calculated, letting these people lift a stone and shoot themselves in the foot, so that in the end, as soon as Chu Chen opened his mouth, some people didn't want to bid.

To say, if Chu Chen raised the price at the beginning, the organizer would be very happy, but later Chu Chen's style and wisdom made many people dare not bid, which would damage their interests a little, of course, it would not be possible to be happy, and their love for Chu Chen changed from liking to disgust.

But in this case, they can only solve it with support, and they can use the words of support. In case Chu Chen comes to make a plan, it will be them who will lose more in the end. Considering that Chu Chen did something with some bottom line, in the end, the organizer could only go with him.

Because of this. Except for the first few things, Chu Chen didn't spend much money on other lots, and in terms of the shared cost, Chu Chen actually made a little money, which he didn't expect before, but he was happy to see.

When the auction in the morning came to an end, everyone counted the lots that Chu Chen had auctioned. It actually cost more than 50 million RMB, a total of more than a dozen, this situation is the first time everyone has encountered it, many people have some malicious speculation, if Chu Chen has no money to pay the bill, what will he do then!

However, these people immediately noticed Zhao Qirui who was sitting on the side, and thought regretfully, it seems that this kind of excitement is not visible.

In fact. Not to mention the others, even Zhao Qirui and they were a little surprised by this, but with their understanding of Chu Chen, they immediately guessed the reason why Chu Chen did this.

Jiang Jiachang didn't know Chu Chen. Seeing this, Zhao Qirui smiled and said, "My nephew is much richer than me." For him, 50 million is just a bet on a few jadeite. ”

"Chu Shao is a master of gambling stones?" Jiang Jiachang was a little surprised when he heard this. However, I still have some disdain in my heart, and this gambling stone cannot be gambled up every time. Chu Chen is a master, and it is not so easy to bet on 50 million.

Zhao Heyan said with some pride: "My brother is not only a master, he has even won the Jade King!" ”

When Jiang Jiachang heard this, his eyes were about to pop out, how old is Chu Chen, how could he win the Jade King, this is a fantasy, right? Wait a minute! Chu Chen?!

"Chu Shao, are you the ......one who is called the Jade King?"

Zhao Heyan pursed her lips: "You all know what the name of the Jade King is, isn't it nonsense to ask like this?" ”

Gao Yiya reprimanded: "Zhao Heyan! Be polite! ”

"Who called him so stupid!" Zhao Heyan muttered.

Jiang Jiachang hurriedly smiled and said, "It's true that my brain didn't react. However, I heard that the Jade King was a young man before, and I thought that no matter how it was, he should be in his thirties, but I didn't expect Chu Shao to be so young, he is really unseemly, and the sea water is incomparable! ”

Chu Chen smiled and hurriedly said a few words modestly.

Jiang Jiachang complimented a few more words, and said with a smile on his face: "It's a coincidence today, I bought a set of jewelry before I came, and several of them are jade jewelry, Chu Shao, can you help me take a look?" ”

"Alright, alright!" Zhao Qirui waved his hand: "It's noon, let's go eat first." ”

"Yes, yes, yes! Mr. Zhao, no matter what I do today, I have to do my best to be a landlord......"

When the auction was over, Chu Chen followed the staff to pay. Since they were all valuables, Chu Chen decided to deposit them all in a bank not far from the clubhouse, although it was noon, but for the organizers, this was not a problem at all.

Due to the abundance of manpower, in less than half an hour, all the items that Chu Chen had just photographed were deposited in the bank. Then, the group followed Jiang Jiachang to a private room in a luxury hotel.

When he arrived here, Jiang Jiachang was not as urgent as just now, and he didn't mention the appraisal during the whole dinner. It wasn't until everyone was full of wine and food that he took out a jewelry box, opened it, and put it in front of Chu Chen.

There are four things in the box, which are necklaces, earrings, rings, and bracelets. Among them, earrings, rings and bracelets are all jadeite jewelry, judging by Chu Chen's experience, they should be made of the same piece of jadeite, and the texture is bright green for Laokeng glass, which is quite good.

The necklace consists of a large piece of natural black opal with natural pearls.

For Wu Ke and the others, because of Chu Chen's relationship, they have already seen a lot of jadeite, so although these three pieces of jadeite jewelry are more expensive than necklaces, their attention is still focused on opal necklaces. Of course. The main reason is that this opal looks gorgeous, and women are very resistant to such things.

Opal is Opal in English, derived from the Latin Opalus or Sanskrit word "Upala", which means "the beauty of a gemstone". Opals are gelatinous or liquid silica deposited into fissures and caves in formations to solidify into amorphous amorphous gem minerals, which also contain animal and plant residues such as trees, carapaces, and bones.

Among the six internationally recognized gemstones, opal gemstones are loved by people for their brilliant and dazzling changing colors. Pliny, an ancient Roman natural scientist, once said: "On a piece of opal, you can see the flame of ruby, the color of amethyst, the green sea of emeralds, colorful, harmonious, beautiful." ”

Among the several types of opals, black opal is the most famous and expensive opal variety, and now due to the small amount of resource reserves, the value of casual development and collection is getting higher and higher.

To get back to the point, a lot of antique jewelry on the market has opals on it. When the opal is carved into a hemispherical plain stone, its changing colors are brilliant and dazzling, even like a rainbow. When gently turned, the surface color changes constantly. And the necklace in front of them is like this, maybe it is precisely because of this that Wu Ke and the others seem a little obsessed.

Seeing Wu Ke's appearance, Chu Chen shook his head with a dark smile, and then said to Jiang Jiachang: "Mr. Jiang, I think your three jade jewelry are genuine, and the materials are very good." ”

Receiving Chu Chen's affirmation, Jiang Jiachang was overjoyed, and then, he subconsciously asked, "Chu Shao, what about this necklace?" ”

As soon as Jiang Jiachang opened his mouth, he knew that he was asking a little recklessly, after all, opal and jade are two different things, Chu Chen understands jade, but he may not necessarily understand opal.

Speaking of which, Chu Chen only has a little understanding of opals, and he really hasn't studied the specifics, of course, he can also judge the authenticity of things with his wrong ability, but he really saw some problems with this necklace, so he said: "Mr. Jiang, if this necklace can be returned, I would better return it." ”

Hearing this, everyone was stunned, and Jiang Jiachang hurriedly asked, "Chu Shao, are you saying that this necklace is a fake?" ”

Chu Chen replied: "To be honest, I don't know much about opals, but I know the general method of falsification. You see, this opal has reached this line, and in addition to the difference in hue, its color change will suddenly disappear, and if I am not mistaken, it should be made using the 'sandwich' method. Unfortunately, it is already inlaid in, otherwise you should be able to see the seams clearly with a magnifying glass. ”

Everyone saw that it was the same as what Chu Chen said, which made them feel very surprised.

Wu Ke asked: "Achen, what method are you talking about 'sandwich'?" ”

"As the name suggests, it is made into a double or triple stone like a 'sandwich'."

Chu Chen smiled and explained: "Most of the opal's color change is only on the thin layer on the surface. Counterfeiters will place real 'white opal' flakes close to the gray opal that has not changed color. In the case of black opals, the flakes of color are glued to the pure black agate. ”

In other words, except for the flake at the top, which is real, the rest are very cheap stones. As for the method of identification, it can generally be seen as I just said. (To be continued......)
