Chapter 523: It's finally here
Seeing that Yu Hua was still hesitating there, Chu Chen continued: "Mr. Yu, if you don't believe me, you can call a friend to confirm it, and see if this three-phase box really needs a formula to open as I said." ”
As soon as the words fell, what surprised everyone was that Yu Hua really took out his mobile phone and walked to the side to make a call.
However, in addition to the fact that Chu Chen lied about the fact that there was something inside, he didn't lie about the method of opening the trap box, so even if Yu Hua went to call a friend, he was very able to sit calmly and drink tea leisurely.
In fact, Yu Hua didn't really call, he just did this to observe Chu Chen's attitude. When he pretended to be on the phone with a friend, he quietly looked back a few times, and found that Chu Chen was very calm, and his expression was not fake, so he believed Chu Chen's words in his heart.
After a while, Yu Hua pretended to put the phone back, then walked up to Chu Chen, and said with a smile:
"Mr. Chu, things can be transferred to you, but I think this box should be worth 500,000 HKD!"
For Chu Chen, who already knew the value of the things inside, let alone 500,000, even if it was 5 million, he would have bought the box, but in that case, how could a clear-eyed person not know that he had a problem, so he pretended to frown and said:
"Mr. Yu, your price is a bit outrageous, although the material of this box is made of small leaf red sandalwood, but its size and weight are here, I think the highest market price is only 150,000, how can it be worth 500,000?"
Yu Hua smiled slightly: "You're right, just count the box." That's 150,000 that's a lot of money, but don't forget. This box has never been opened, and there is nothing in it. Who knows the Tao for sure? In case there is something in it, and the value of the thing is very high, then you are not making a lot of money, so 500,000 is really not high! ”
"You can't say that." Chu Chen shook his head and said, "As I said earlier, the possibility of something in this box is very low, and it is not necessarily a very slim possibility, it is worth three hundred and fifty thousand, right?" And even if there is something, if it is a letter, then I am not at a loss? I think that's worth 50,000 odds. A total of 200,000 is about the same. ”
"200,000 is too little, at least 450,000!"
"Twenty-five!"
"Forty!"
Chu Chen waved his hand and said, "Okay, Mr. Yu, let's take a step back, if you sincerely want to sell, then 300,000, after all, I also said before, I am only interested in this box." If it's more, it's a bit more than worth it for me! ”
"Deal!" Yu Hua agreed after a little thought.
Hearing the word "transaction", Yu Hua's wife and children couldn't help but smile happily, with the 300,000. Coupled with the 800,000 just now, this 1.1 million can not only pay off their family's debts, but also have some balances. This is indeed something to celebrate for their family.
The authenticity of the check in hand was verified. Yu Hua's heart was also greatly relieved, and he was worried about his friends coming to collect debts every day in the past few months. This kind of worrying and worrying days is really hard and tiring, but fortunately, no one in the family blames him for this, otherwise he would really collapse.
Thinking of this, Yu Hua suddenly felt his wife kick him gently, looked back, and found that she was silently saying the word "bottle" to him, he immediately understood what his wife meant, so he said to Chu Chen with some embarrassment: "Mr. Chu, I don't know if I can trouble you with something?" ”
Originally, Chu Chen couldn't wait to go back and open the box, but when he said this, he could only press the thought in his heart and said, "You just say it, as long as it is within my ability, I will definitely help!" ”
"Mr. Chu, I see that although you are young, your eyesight is quite extraordinary, and you can be described as young and promising."
Yu Hua first complimented Chu Chen, and then said, "I want you to help me see my pair of blue and white pastel bottles, I don't know if it's okay?" Don't worry, I'll definitely pay the appraisal fee. ”
Chu Chen smiled and said: "As long as you don't think I'm a shallow learner, of course it's no problem to help you take a look, but forget about the appraisal fee or something, after all, your things have also increased my eyesight!" ”
Hearing this, Yu Hua hurriedly thanked Chu Chen, and then went into the house with his wife and took out the pair of bottles he said.
In fact, blue and white pastel is the same as the nature of doucai, which is a decorative variety that combines underglaze color (blue and white) and overglaze color (pastel). This blue and white pastel technique is a very rare decorative technique in the Qianlong Dynasty, and it is of great significance in the inheritance of craftsmanship.
The pair of blue and white pastel vases in front of him looked very gorgeous and atmospheric, and the overall appearance showed a very strong palace atmosphere, which made people feel that they were a pair of extraordinary things at a glance, but Chu Chen took a closer look at this pair of bottles a few times, and found that they were indeed fakes.
And Chu Chen originally heard Yu Hua say that it was imitated at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, and it was very realistic, and he thought it was related to Zhang Huoni, but after a careful look, he found that although the imitation of this pair of blue and white pastel porcelain was not bad, it was still a little worse than the level of Zhang Huoni.
"How?" Yu Hua asked with some expectation.
Chu Chen said truthfully and said, "Mr. Yu, I can only say I'm sorry, this pair of bottles is really not a generation!" ”
"How?" Yu Hua was slightly stunned, then asked with a frown.
Chu Chen explained: "Let me say a few points, first of all, most of the glaze of Qianlong porcelain has orange peel patterns, but your pair of bottles does not have this orange peel pattern. Secondly, the blue and white porcelain of Qianlong is elegant, and the fruits and leaf petals in the decoration are colored by dot dyeing, with different shades of layering. And although your pair of bottles is also colored by dot dyeing, the blue and white floats on the surface, which is also inconsistent with the real thing, and the ...... on the tire glaze"
Then, Chu Chen pointed out to Yu Hua several places that he found that were different from the real thing, and he was very surprised when he heard it.
Before, he said that Chu Chen's eyesight was good, but in fact, it was more of a compliment, but he didn't expect Chu Chen's eyesight to be really amazing, and he actually pointed out some places that some experts didn't see, which was really a bit surprising to him.
This situation made Yu Hua recognize Chu Chen a little more in his heart, and at the same time, he also deepened the idea of cooperating with Chu Chen in the future.
"Hey!"
When Chu Chen's explanation was over, Yu Hua couldn't help but sigh, after all, he still had an eye on this pair of bottles, and he lost nearly six million, and he felt depressed when he thought about it.
Chu Chen persuaded: "Mr. Yu, it is normal for us to be eye-catching in the antique industry, and the matter has come to this point, no matter how much you want it, it will be useless, and your eyesight is so good, you don't have to worry that there will be no chance to think about it again in the future." ”
Yu Hua also came step by step, and his tolerance for eye-punching may be stronger than that of some old players, so he quickly adjusted his psychology and said to Chu Chen with a smile: "Mr. Chu, I thank you for your good words first." ”
Speaking of this, he took out a piece of paper, wrote an address, and then handed it to Chu Chen and said: "Mr. Chu, this is the address of the family where I bought this box, if you really can't unlock this box, you can go to this family to try your luck." ”
"At that time, in addition to this box, I also bought a piece of Songhua inkstone, as for that piece of Songhua inkstone, I have already sold it to Tang Hui, maybe there are any clues on that piece of Songhua inkstone, you can go to him to inquire."
Although Chu Chen no longer needed this address, he still thanked Yu Hua, and then left with the others to say goodbye to Yu Hua.
Coming out of Yu Hua's house, before everyone walked a few steps, Liu Sizhe couldn't wait to ask: "I said Brother Chen, did you find any secrets in that piece of pine inkstone before, so you went to Tang Hui to inquire about the news?" ”
"How do you know the way?" Chu Chen asked with a smile.
"I don't know what to do!" Liu Sizhe grinned, and then asked with some curiosity: "Then what did you find in that pine flower inkstone?" Could it be the opening formula for this three-phase trap box? ”
"You're pretty smart, I did find a note with the trap box mantra written on it!"
Chu Chen said: "Originally, I wanted to ask for some clues from Tang Hui, but I didn't expect that guy to lie to me that I didn't know Yu Hua, fortunately, we can be regarded as a bright flower, and we will actually meet Yu Hua in the hotel, otherwise the chance of finding this machine box is too slim!" ”
Hearing Chu Chen say this, Wu Ke next to him finally understood that Chu Chen was so depressed about what he was doing before.
Liu Sizhe said with a smile: "Brother Chen, if you want me to say that in fact, the things in this box hit the attention of yours, otherwise how could you encounter such a coincidence!" ”
Wang Xiaoyue was puzzled: "No, how do you know that there must be something hidden in the Dao, if there is really something, then why can't you hear a sound coming from it when you shook it so much just now?" ”
Liu Sizhe smiled and said: "You don't know what to do, our brother Chen's luck is really top-notch, and he can often turn decay into magic, hundreds or thousands of pieces of leaks are worth millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, just his luck, if you want to say that there is nothing in the box, I don't believe it!" ”
Wang Xiaoyue and Qiao Qian were stunned when they heard what Liu Sizhe said, they really couldn't believe that a person would have such good luck, and he could actually make hundreds of millions of dollars by picking up leaks, he was simply a god!
When Qiao Qian came back to her senses, she glanced at the mechanism box in Chu Chen's hand, and said curiously: "Since this box is so tight, if there is something in it, it shouldn't be simple, right?" Could it be a treasure worth more than a billion? ”
"It's really possible!" Wang Xiaoyue exclaimed.
Liu Sizhe said with his hands in his hands: "Then what are you waiting for, let's go back and open it quickly!" ......" (To be continued......)
