Chapter 45: Liu Lao's Favor
Chu Chen said humbly: "Old Liu, don't say that, I was also lucky that day, and I just thought of teasing that person when I was in a good mood, otherwise I would not pay attention to this kind of person." ”
After Liu Lao listened, haha smiled: "Good luck, our antique industry really talks about luck and fate, like the famous Yuan Qinghua, I also encountered it at the beginning, but I was still young at that time, I didn't know the goods, so I missed it in vain, and now I still regret it in retrospect." ”
Everyone thought about it and felt that this was indeed the case, especially Uncle Wu, who had the most deep understanding of this, and the antique treasures that slipped through his hands were already several pieces as far as he knew, among which as long as he had a little luck or fate, those treasures were very likely to be owned by him.
Therefore, in the antique industry, luck and fate are better to believe in what they have than what they don't.
Liu Lao then said: "However, Xiao Chu, I want to remind you that when you encounter someone like this in the future, it is best to mix less, and it doesn't matter if you meet an outlaw, you may accidentally fall into their way." ”
Uncle Wu interjected on the side and said: "I think he is a little thick because he knows martial arts, and there is a way that two fists are hard to beat with four hands, even if you are powerful, but can you still resist other people's knives, guns and sticks?" Next time, remember Liu Lao's words, when encountering this kind of thing, you must first consider your own safety, don't be blindly impulsive. ”
The situation that Liu Lao said is indeed really possible, after all, like these "landmines", all of them are some lawbreakers, and no matter what the situation is, it may happen. And what Uncle Wu said is also reasonable, if you meet a gangster with a firearm, isn't it blind? Therefore, after hearing this, Chu Chen nodded and accepted it humbly.
"Yo, I didn't expect Xiao Chu to be a practitioner, let's talk about it, which one are you practicing, maybe we can discuss it." When Liu Lao heard that Chu Chen was a practitioner, he immediately became interested, he also practiced Xingyi Quan all year round, and he also made some achievements in this regard.
Chu Chen said a little embarrassedly: "I practice the family boxing method, the ancient method of Tai Chi, which is similar to what Zhu Lao practiced. ”
When Liu Lao heard him talk about Zhu Lao, he immediately remembered who he was talking about:
"The old Zhu you are talking about is Zhu Dafu, I have also seen his Tai Chi, which pays more attention to technical strikes, and also has the effect of health preservation. I heard that he has reached the realm of Xiao Zhoutian, and he can easily live past the age of ninety, I don't know if it's true or not, but judging from his appearance, it should still be the same, I don't know how Xiao Chu practiced well? ”
Chu Chen scratched his head and said, "I'm a little lucky, I also practiced Xiao Zhoutian a few days ago." ”
"What?"
Liu Lao was a little surprised when he heard this, and suddenly said: "No wonder Ziping said just now that you are a little ignorant of the sky, and I also think that you are very energetic, so you should be here." You kid, you have good bones, if it was in ancient times, it would be a martial arts master! In that case, we must communicate sometimes. ”
Hearing Liu Lao praise him like this, Chu Chen nodded again and again while being modest. However, Li Beibei was a little sneering next to her, what ancient method of Tai Chi, just the soft cotton of Tai Chi, what else can be powerful? No way! Next time, I must find a time for him to taste the power of this girl's fists and feet.
"To get back to the point, like Xiao Chu, the kiln printing plate, good workmanship, better quality, such a boutique I have only appreciated in the museum since I was born, and today is also fate, I can taste it like this, it is really a blessing in life."
Liu Lao sighed heartily, and did not hide his love for this kiln plate.
Chu Chen suddenly had an idea when he saw this, and then inadvertently glanced at Uncle Wu, the two also had a tacit understanding, Uncle Wu understood his thoughts when he saw this, and immediately nodded slightly.
Seeing that Uncle Wu also agreed with his idea, Chu Chen thought about it in his heart, if he could get in touch with Liu Lao, then it would be worth it even if this thing was given to him. But this is definitely unrealistic, Liu Lao is not stupid, how can he ask for it in vain, not only will the relationship between the two not increase, but it will also cause him to feel disgusted.
In this case, it is more important to offer a suitable price, if it is low, it seems that he is a little coy, and if it is high, it must be even more inappropriate, so he thought about it again and again, and finally determined a price.
Then, Chu Chen said with a smile: "Old Liu, since you like this thing so much, I will give it to you, what do you think?" ”
When Liu Lao heard him say this, he immediately perked up, but said with some hesitation: "Really? Such a high-quality product, are you willing to do it? ”
To be honest, Chu Chen is still a little reluctant in his heart, you must know that the goal he has just set in life is to become a big collector.
We know that only people who have a certain amount of financial strength and professional experience, and have reached a considerable collection scale, can be called collectors. In order to become a great collector, in addition to higher knowledge, his collection also needs to be unique, simply put, the collection must have treasures or unique pieces.
And now this exquisite fixed kiln printing plate, that is what others dream of, even if they are looking for it, they can't get it. With such a collection, how can you say that Chu Chen has no reluctance in his heart.
However, he also thought about it, after all, he had special abilities, and he had more advantages than others, and he didn't have to worry about the money needed to collect. Even if he can't find it in the market in the future, he can still find it at auction, so his choice is obvious compared to being able to get in touch with a figure like Liu Lao.
For Liu Lao's question, Chu Chen had also prepared a reason, and he replied with a smile:
"Liu Lao, this thing, I don't have much time to get it, and it was only yesterday afternoon that I carefully appreciated it for a while, so I don't have a deep relationship with it, if I get it for a long time, then I will really be reluctant."
"And, I think I'm still young, maybe in the future, I can get such a precious object, of course, this is also my luxury, I really can't find it then, I can only beg you to give it to me again."
"Do you think you can still get out of my hands?" Liu Lao also made a joke.
Chu Chen reacted quickly, and said with a smile: "That's okay, as long as you can show me often, I'm satisfied." ”
"You little slippery head."
Liu Lao nodded at him with a smile, and then said, "Okay, I promise you, when I leave one day, I will give you this thing." ”
"Dad! What a frustrating thing, what a can't go! Liu Qinshu looked disgusted after hearing this.
Liu Lao waved his hand and said with a smile: "Girl, Du Da poets have said that life is rare in seventy years, and I am eighty and two, what else is there to scruple about." Besides, I finally got such a treasure today, and I don't have to live for a few more years, otherwise I won't be able to see it underground! ”
Then he said to Chu Chen: "Xiao Chu, you can make a price, but don't fool me, as Beibei said before, I'm not old-hearted, and I haven't become confused, and I will offer an outrageous price in a while, don't blame me for turning my face!" ”
The price is now there, but of course Chu Chen can't say it right away, so he pondered for a while before he spoke: "Old Liu, if it's 820,000, what do you think?" ”
"What?"
Liu Lao straightened his face when he heard it: "I said Xiao Chu, I just said, don't open it outrageously, why do you still open it at such a low price?" ”
Seeing that Liu Lao was angry, Chu Chen hurriedly explained: "Liu Lao, listen to me first, this thing, it only cost 12,000 when I came, you are an elder, my 820,000 is already high enough, otherwise if it is spread out, others will not be able to say that I have a black heart." ”
"Besides, you just celebrated your birthday, and I didn't have a chance to come over to celebrate your birthday, even if it's my little heart, what do you think?"
"You kid, when it comes to reasoning, it seems that you are also a small profiteer."
When Chu Chen saw Liu Lao say this, he knew that he was not angry, and he was also relieved in his heart, and then heard Liu Lao say: "However, 820,000 is too low, if it spreads, it must not be laughed at by my friends, no, you have to add more." ”
"This ......"
When Chu Chen heard this, he was a little hesitant, he didn't know how much price was appropriate, and he was afraid that Liu Lao would be angry if he opened less, and it would not be good for his reputation to spread if he opened too much, so he was a little entangled.
When Uncle Wu saw this, he said: "Old Liu, my nephew is also a piece of filial piety, otherwise, it will be one million, and I also wish you a long life and a hundred years old." ”
"Ziping, there is a problem with your statement, is that 10 million a thousand years old?"
"Dad, no one celebrates a thousand years old, right, isn't that a scolding king?"
When everyone heard Liu Qinshu say this, they all daxiao, but at the same time, Chu Chen was still worried that Liu Lao would not agree to this price.
"Okay, since Ziping said so, then I'll accept it, so as not to be called unkind by your juniors. Xiao Chu, what you have in your bag is the fragment of Tang Sancai, right? Can you stay and study for me for two days? ”
After seeing Chu Chen's agreement, Liu Lao knocked on his back and sighed: "Hey, people are old, their muscles and bones are a little rusty, and if you sit for a long time, you don't feel very comfortable, Xiao Shu, you will help Xiao Chu and them finish the contract in a while, and I will go back to the house to rest for a while." ”
After Liu Qinshu nodded in agreement, he stepped forward to support Liu Lao and slowly walked towards the house.
"Elder Liu, go slowly."
Chu Chen and the others stood up one after another to send each other.
When Liu Lao and the others walked away, Uncle Wu said to Li Beibei on the side: "Beibei, how is your grandfather's health recently?" ”
Li Beibei replied with a smile: "Xiexie Uncle Wu is worried, my grandfather is in good health, he talked about you two days ago, saying why you have been two or three months, and you haven't seen him." ”
