Seeing Chu Chen put the bottle back, Zhou Daya hurriedly asked, "Boss Chu, what do you think of things?" ”

Chu Chen smiled and said, "It's okay, I don't know what the price is?" ”

Zhou Daya said with a smile: "Boss Chu, since you want it, and I and Lao Wu are also old acquaintances, let's get 80,000." ”

Lao Wu said: "Big Tooth, since we are all old acquaintances, 80,000 is too high, so I'll give a real price." ”

Zhou Daya shook his head: "Old Five, when did you say I didn't give you the lowest price?" Besides, since Boss Chu wants something, can I still offer a high price? ”

"After all, it is the peacock blue glazed blue and white of the Jiajing period, and I will take it with 40,000."

Chu Chen didn't believe that because of his own reasons, the other party would deliberately offer a low price. Moreover, most of the people who do the antique business are not only veterans of storytelling, but also performing artists with a high level of rapping.

If you've been in the collecting world for a few years, you're sure to hear many of these stories about antiques, and each one is more novel than the other, and each one is more magical than the other. If you are a person with a heart, record them and make a book of "Stories".

Therefore, Chu Chen would not believe that Zhou Daya would give the fifth child the lowest price every time.

"No, no! Forty thousand is too low. Zhou Daya resolutely disagreed with this price: "Let's stop fighting, let's 60,000!" ”

"60,000 is too high......"

The two bargained for a while, and finally sold it for 51,000 yuan, Chu Chen was not too satisfied with this price, but such a delicate peacock blue glazed blue and white was relatively rare, and he was generally happy.

The deal was negotiated. Lao Wu said, "Big Tooth, you call me over." It doesn't have to be just that, is it? ”

Zhou Daya smiled and said, "Of course it's more than this, I'll get it later." ”

Hearing this, Chu Chen said, "Boss Zhou." Don't take it one by one, take as many as you want, as long as the things are good, I can take them down. ”

After all, Chu Chen still has a museum in preparation, in order to enrich the collection inside, even if Zhou Daya takes out more things, as long as the things can satisfy him, there is no problem in buying them all.

Zhou Daya also called the fifth child because his family was in urgent need of money. was about to get rid of some valuable antiques in his hand, and seeing Chu Chen say this, how could he not agree, so he hurriedly walked into the inner room with Zhong Dingsheng to get something.

After the two left, Lao Wu hurriedly whispered to Chu Chen: "Boss, Zhou Daya likes to make some small moves, and he can't say that the following things will be mixed with some sand and mud, you have to be careful." ”

Chu Chen smiled and nodded. Say you'll pay attention.

After a while, Zhou Daya and Zhong Dingsheng walked back with two small and one big and three boxes in their hands.

Inside the first box is a jade snuff bottle, which is made of whole materials, and the front and back are filled with two quatrains in gold and italics. One is a scene and one is lyrical, and the two poems complement each other. The side wall of the cigarette bottle is carved with "Zhongchun Imperial Theme" and "Qianlong Jiawu" respectively.

This object is exquisitely carved. The poems are relaxed and flow freely. The brushwork is atmospheric, but the material is only ice. The value is worse, estimated at the current market value, it is only about forty or fifty thousand.

Inside the second box, there is a jade ox ornament, which seems to be carved from a whole piece of high-quality Khotanese white jade, and the carving looks quite exquisite.

But as soon as the thing arrived in his hand, Chu Chen secretly frowned, because although the weight of this jade ornament was okay, but with his understanding of the specific gravity of jade, as soon as he got his hands on it, he found that the weight of this ornament was lighter than that of real jade.

In addition, although this jade has lines, it looks very unnatural, there are artificial traces, and in addition, it has a bigger flaw, and there is not even a trace of impurities inside.

You must know that jade is formed by the cooling of lava during volcanic eruptions, because it is naturally formed, so ancient jade contains a lot of impurities, which is the reason why crystal clear good jade is hard to find. But no matter how crystal clear the benefits of good jade, it must have impurities, textures, and changes.

Judging by the conditions for the formation of jade, it is obviously impossible for jade without impurities to exist.

In addition to the material of jade, the carving of this jade ornament imitates the style of the palace office in the Qianlong period, but the maker is obviously not up to the level of ancient craftsmen, so it seems a little nondescript in the eyes of connoisseurs.

In the end, there is no pulp on the surface of the jade, even if it is genuine, as a jade, after so many years, it is impossible to even have no pulp.

In this way, Chu Chen can be sure that this jade is a fake, and it is also a contemporary Huihyu jade.

What is Huilu Jade?

In fact, it is now the counterfeiters who melt the waste materials of inferior jade or jade processing at high temperatures, smelt the impurities in them, and then cool them.

The jade created in this way is very pure and flawless, but it also has no wonderful changes in the natural jade texture. This method of counterfeiting, the ancients did not think of it, but could not get a high temperature enough to melt the jade. But now it's very easy to do, a single oxygen spray gun can melt a cloud of waste jade into magma in a matter of minutes.

It is precisely because there is no environment when the lava is cooled and the pressure is not enough, so the specific gravity of the guide jade is wrong, and it is lighter than the real jade.

To say that the jade made in this way is indeed very deceptive, and many collectors have been deceived as soon as it is on the market. However, Zhou Daya obviously found the wrong object, something like this, even if Chu Chen didn't use the ability, he could immediately see its authenticity.

The last box contains a pair of Ruyi, and this pair of Ruyi is made of some special materials, both of which are made of tortoiseshell zuò, and the size is basically the same, with brown and pale yellow patterns on the surface.

This pair of Ruyi is carved with squirrel grapes on the front and carved with a swassh-character pattern on the back, taking the meaning of "descendants for generations". The craftsman uses a unique "living pattern" carving method to make the squirrel move, and the vines are vigorous and powerful, and the craftsmanship is delicate and dense. Judging from the style and other characteristics of the carving, the time of the production of this Ruyi should be in the middle and late Qing Dynasty.

Ruyi like this is generally a single piece, a pair is rare, coupled with exquisite carving, it is also a relatively rare utensil.

After Chu Chen and Lao Wu finished reading the three things, Zhou Daya hurriedly asked, "Two, what do you think of my three things?" ”

"Not bad." Chu Chen nodded: "Except for this jade cow ornament"

Hearing the words "not bad", Zhou Daya's face showed joy, but the latter sentence made him feel like he had eaten flies, and he hurriedly said: "Is there anything wrong with this jade cow ornament?" Look at this material, as well as this carving, aren't they all the style of the Qing court's office? ”

Chu Chen shook his head slightly: "Boss Zhou, I don't like this thing." ”

Zhou Daya was stunned when he heard this, and immediately reacted, since Chu Chen said that he didn't like it, he naturally had a reason, as for whether to sue him or not, it all depended on Chu Chen's meaning. Besides, in the final analysis, this kind of thing can only embarrass both sides.

Zhou Daya saw that Chu Chen had decided that something was wrong, and he felt a little regretful in his heart, so he said, "Boss Chu, can you make a price for these two things?" ”

Chu Chen said: "Boss Zhou, this is a bit unruly, right? ”

The reason why Chu Chen said this is because in the antique industry, when the owner wants to sell an antique, he must first make a price. If the seller does not make an offer, the buyer will never give a price. This is to prevent the owner of the goods from selling antiques is fake, and the price estimate of the market is true.

You must know that Chu Chen is quite a well-known expert, and it is also possible for Zhou Daya to pass Gu Gu and Chu Chen estimate the price of things.

In addition, if the seller offers too high, the buyer has the right not to counteroffer. If the buyer and seller do not close the deal due to price differences, and the seller finds another negotiation and still does not close the deal, and then goes to the first buyer, the first buyer will generally not buy it unless it is something that he particularly likes.

Zhou Daya sneered, and secretly said what was going on with him, didn't he achieve what he wanted, how could it be messed up.

"Boss Chu, let's be born once and cooked twice, just at this price......"

"No, it's too high, at most it can only be ......"

After another verbal argument, the two finally took a step back and closed the deal at a win-win price.

Chu Chen directly wrote a check to Zhou Daya, and then prepared to leave.

At this time, Zhong Dingsheng opened his mouth and asked, "Boss Chu, I don't know if you are interested in the bronze mirror?" ”

Chu Chen smiled and nodded: "As long as it is a good thing, I will not refuse to come." ”

"Okay, then I'll go get ...... now"

Waiting, waiting for a while, Zhong Dingsheng walked back with a box, he opened the box, and introduced: "Boss Chu, I won't tell you, I'm going to dispose of all the goods in my hand, and I'm ready to retire, and now that almost everything else has found the next home, only this bronze mirror remains......"

Chu Chen looked at the box as he listened, and what was placed in it was a black lacquer bronze mirror in excellent condition, and at a glance, he knew that it was a genuine product that had been opened to the next generation.

"Boss Zhong, does this bronze mirror have anything to say?"

Zhong Dingsheng said with a smile: "That's true, I heard that when this bronze mirror was found, it was placed in the master's arms, and the surrounding bronze artifacts were almost corroded, but this bronze mirror was black and ancient, and it was in excellent condition. ”

Chu Chen nodded slightly, from Zhong Dingsheng's words, he got a few pieces of information, first, this bronze mirror was found during the tomb robbery; Second, this bronze mirror is so well preserved when everything else is almost decayed, there must be something special about it, which shows that the bronze mirror is likely to have a high value.

Finally, Zhong Dingsheng paid a lot of money for buying this bronze mirror, if Chu Chen wanted it, it would definitely not work if it was cheap. (To be continued......)
