Chapter 1093: A New Discovery
The reason why others say that Ding Lao Wei has an antique personality is that the price of his things here can only be negotiated one by one, and after the price is negotiated, he must pay immediately, as if he is afraid that the buyer will regret it after a while.
Just like now, there are still a few things that he hasn't seen after the Ming Dynasty, Ding Lao Wei just looked at Chu Chen, waiting for Chu Chen to pay, which made Chu Chen very speechless, isn't it just one thousand two, as for being so nervous?
But after thinking about it carefully, Chu Chen understood what Ding Lao Wei meant by doing this, it was nothing more than that he felt that negotiating the price of two or more antiques would lower the price of the less valuable antiques, and sometimes he would even buy one get one free.
For example, if one thing is worth 50,000 yuan and the other is worth 500, if you buy two things together, basically many people will ask to buy one and get one free. With Ding Laowei's approach, it is obvious that this possibility can be greatly reduced.
But then again, it's normal to buy 50,000 and get 500 for business, Ding Lao Wei doesn't even want to give 500, it's too picky, how many people will be willing to do business with him in the long run? At least, if Ding Lao Wei was a normal businessman, Chu Chen would definitely not come to him in the future.
Anyway, since this thing is something that he fancies, let alone picking it up, even if it is the market price, Chu Chen doesn't want to entangle it and pays directly.
Just as Ding Lao Wei was counting the money, Chu Chen said to Jia Yuqiang a little strangely: "Old Jia, didn't you say that you wanted to find a stone carving?" Why don't you want it now? ”
Jia Yuqiang was not prepared for Chu Chen's words at all, and couldn't help but be stunned, and said in his heart, what did Chu Chen mean by this? Did you want me to buy this stone carving? But this statue looks a little gray, and I really can't see what a good thing it is!
Ding Lao Wei was also stunned at first, but before Jia Yuqiang could react, he said with a smile:
"Boss Jia. Don't look at this stone statue looks inconspicuous, but you see that this carving skill is very profound, whether it is the texture of the skin or the dynamics of the clothing, it is quite sufficient, you will definitely not suffer if you bring it back. ”
Jia Yuqiang sneered: "The texture of your skin, your stone statue is not gray, can you see the skin quality?" Could it be that you are still a clairvoyant eye? ”
Ding Lao Wei snorted. said: "Isn't it just a little rusty, you can always clean it with more bubbles, and this stone carving is not afraid of bubbles." And you can't be wrong with good carvers, right? ”
Jia Yuqiang stared at the statue, he didn't think it just now, and now he doesn't know if it's because Chu Chen said it. The more he looked at this statue, the more he felt that it was good, thinking that maybe it was really like Chu Chen thought, this was a good statue.
Now Jia Yuqiang is much more shrewd than before, even if he already wants to buy the statue in his heart, he didn't answer immediately, otherwise Ding Lao Wei would ask the lion to open his mouth again.
Ding Lao Wei saw Jia Yuqiang's hesitant appearance, so he said, "Boss Jia, how is it." I can get a little cheaper if you really want to. ”
"I'll take two hundred."
"My Boss Jia, alas! You have to let me earn some money, two hundred is too low, you can add more. Not much, five hundred dollars. ”
"This is a stone statue, two hundred is enough, at most I will add another thirty ......"
In this way, the two bargained, and finally sold for 380 yuan.
Ding put the money in his pocket. Then I opened the other boxes, and saw that there were two seals in each box. There are also two pieces of porcelain.
Two of the seals are conformal seals, and the materials used are also Tianhuang stone. And it looks like the material is good. The other two pieces of porcelain are a thin-tired cup and a pastel-colored floral bowl.
Thinking that he was suffering from the loss of seals and porcelain, when Jia Yuqiang saw these four things, he couldn't help the anger in his heart, and said with a smile: "Ding Laowei, I'm a little curious, since you have these good things, why are you still nesting in this ghost place, you can go to Panjiayuan to open a shop." ”
Ding Lao Wei said innocently: "Boss Jia, these things are not mine alone, I only have a small share, if these are my own, I will wake up laughing in my dreams." ”
Jia Yuqiang sneered, his face full of disbelief, but he didn't say anything, but picked up the pastel flower bowl in front of him and looked at it.
The outer wall of this bowl is not decorated, and the plate is pastel-painted with flowers and insects and butterflies. The petals of the peony are fat, the color is bright, and it has a slight legacy of Kangxi double peony, but it is not stiff at all, but more realistic, just like the breeze blowing away, vivid and vivid, extremely natural. There are three chrysanthemums under the embellishment, quite fresh and elegant.
In the upper right corner of the pattern, a butterfly smells the fragrance and dances among the flowers, the lines outlined are as thin as a gossamer, and the colorful butterflies are vividly depicted, showing the hustle and bustle of the season and the vitality of life. In addition, the bowl is low and has a six-character double-line regular script of "Yongzheng Year System of the Great Qing Dynasty".
This vessel can be described as porcelain clear, the shape of the vessel is beautiful, elegant and beautiful, with Jia Yuqiang's experience, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a genuine product, which can't help but make him feel a little strange, it's really strange, is this a genuine product? If it's genuine, then why didn't Ding Lao Wei call him before, or did Ding Lao Wei only get his hands on this thing in the past two days?
Jia Yuqiang's personality has some paranoia, he trusts a certain person, he believes it very much, and if he has doubts about someone, he will completely deny that person. Now that he has an opinion on Ding Laowei, even if he uses Chu Chen's previous experience to identify it, he doesn't find a problem, he is still paranoid that there must be something wrong with this bowl, and he can't see it.
Chu Chen didn't know what Jia Yuqiang was thinking, otherwise he would definitely have to ask Jia Yuqiang to see a psychiatrist. At this time, he had already authenticated one party's seal and was carefully observing the other party's seal.
This is a side of Xi Gang carved with the shape of the seal, the Qing Dynasty seal carver, calligrapher and painter. His paintings are chic and self-satisfied, and the flowers have the charm of longevity and peace, which is very detached. Engraved Zong Qin, Han, and Ding Jing, Huang Yi, Jiang Ren are equally famous, and called the four masters of Xiling. The layout of the printing changes, the printing side seeks the circle, the clumsy seeks to release, the style is simple, and the style is clear.
The seal in Chu Chen's hand, like the one just now, is also similar in shape and not superb, specifically in terms of the charm of the characters. It was not up to the level of authenticity, and the knife used by the seals he saw before was somewhat similar, so he estimated that these two seals should be fakes made by Cai Jianxuan's gang.
Moreover, these two seals also have a characteristic, that is, the material is relatively excellent. Although it is not a top-level Tianhuang stone, it can be regarded as a boutique in Tianhuang. The material of the seal, coupled with the knife work that is already enough to fake the real one, Chu Chen estimates that eight out of ten buyers may be fooled.
"Boss Chu, what do you think of these two seals?" Ding asked with a smile.
"Not good." Chu Chen shrugged his shoulders.
Ding Lao Wei was stunned when he heard this. Hurriedly said: "This is the seal carved by the two masters of the Eight Families of Xilan, don't you feel satisfied?" ”
"I don't even think anything about a seal with a seal." Chu Chen shook his head.
"Uh......" Old Monster Ding swallowed this sentence, he didn't expect that Chu Chen would actually give such a reason.
Old Monster Ding's eyes rolled and he smiled: "Boss Chu." It doesn't matter if you don't like the print, you can grind it out yourself. ”
Chu Chen sneered: "You treat me as a fool, of course, if you sell the seal as a material, then I can't consider it." ”
Ding Lao Wei smiled, what Chu Chen said was obviously impossible, so he turned back to Jia Yuqiang and asked, "Boss Jia." Are you interested in these two seals? ”
"I haven't even seen it, why are you asking me what I'm doing?" Jia Yuqiang replied angrily.
"What did this guy eat, he's so angry today." Old Monster Ding muttered to himself. He never thought that Jia Yuqiang already knew that what he bought before was wrong, and the reason was very simple, if Jia Yuqiang knew the truth, how could he be so calm, and he would have made a lot of noise a long time ago.
In fact, the reason why Jia Yuqiang didn't make a lot of noise at the beginning. It was Chu Chen's repeated reminders, and now. Although Jia Yuqiang didn't see whether the pastel bowl in his hand was real or fake, Chu Chen didn't want the pair of seals. It means that there is something wrong with them, which immediately ignites the pent-up anger in his heart, and it is strange that he can have a good face.
Chu Chen saw that Jia Yuqiang's face was wrong, so he hurriedly kicked him, and signaled him with his eyes not to be impatient.
Before this, Chu Chen didn't know the status of Ding Lao Ge in Cai Jianxuan's gang, but now that he has discovered the problem of the seal, Ding Lao Ge may not be as simple as an ordinary periphery.
found this clue, of course Chu Chen couldn't let Jia Yuqiang mess things up, which is why he gave up the stone statue just now to Jia Yuqiang, there is a way to eat people with a short mouth and take people softly, and when Jia Yuqiang knows the value of the stone statue, he will not delay Chu Chen's business.
If Jia Yuqiang still wants to settle accounts at that time, Chu Chen will not introduce some extraordinary means.
Jia Yuqiang felt that he couldn't see the problem with these two pieces of porcelain with his eyesight, so he let Chu Chen look at the doucai cup first.
This bucket cup is a thin fetal porcelain, the fetal wall is as thin as paper, as if taking off the fetal bones, only to see the white and smooth glaze layer, very pleasing to the eye. The inner wall of this cup is light, and the dragon pattern is drawn with bucket color outside, and the bottom book is "Ming Chenghua year" six-character paragraph. However, the form of the dragon pattern and the writing of the style are different from the Chenghua Doucai.
Now coupled with the thin tire porcelain process requirements are extremely harsh, especially the spinning blank is the most difficult, less than a knife is too thick, more than a knife is broken and wasted. Therefore, although there were occasional fires in various dynasties, there were eventually shortcomings. Only when Yongqian, the reborn porcelain reaches its magic workmanship, and the tire wall is as thin as an eggshell, and it is translucent.
Chu Chen judged that this should be a small cup of Chenghua Doucai imitated in the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty. But obviously that's not all, after careful observation, he found that there were still some discrepancies in the details, not to mention that the pulp of this small cup was the same as Jia Yuqiang's pair of case jars, and they were all made by a method, but the pulp of the small cup in front of him seemed more natural.
"These people are so capable of researching." Chu Chen thought with some concern, how long has it been, the improvement of the pulp has made great progress, although the later it is, the more difficult it must be to study, but in case the researcher comes to inspiration, it is not necessarily.
"This kind of thing can't be rushed."
Chu Chen sighed secretly, and then identified the pastel flower bowl, a little surprisingly, he didn't find a problem in the end, which made him feel very strange, and in the end he simply used the ability, and the result was indeed genuine.
Ding Laowei, who felt that Chu Chen was the God of Wealth, saw Chu Chen put the bowl back in the box, and hurriedly asked with a smile on his face:
"Boss Chu, are you satisfied?"
Chu Chen pointed to the pastel bowl and asked, "How much does this bowl cost?" ”
Ding Lao Wei stretched out three fingers. He smiled and said, "This number." ”
Chu Chen looked a little impatient: "Can you be a little happy, who knows how much you said!" ”
"Three hundred thousand."
"Phew, pay back 300,000! Why don't you grab it! It's 30,000, whether it's sold or not! ”
Next, Chu Chen was very resolute. No matter what Ding Lao Wei said, he just didn't let go.
Just when Ding Laowei was hesitating, Jia Yuqiang said that he was not interested in these things, which undoubtedly made a decision for Ding Laowei, and agreed to Chu Chen depressedly.
Chu Chen carried 50,000 cash with him, and the money for the pastel bowl was more than enough. Immediately handed the cash to Ding Lao Wei.
Ding Lao Wei counted the money over and over again, until Chu Chen and the others were very impatient, and then stopped, and he asked expectantly, "Boss Chu, what about this cup?" ”
Chu Chen spread his hands: "I also have one such a cup at home." Do you think I dare to buy it? ”
"Uh......" Old Monster Ding was stunned, a trace of nervousness flashed in his eyes, and then he smiled: "Boss Chu, don't worry, I dare to guarantee that this cup is genuine." Besides, this kind of small cup will definitely not be made only one when you make it, maybe it will be paired with your home? ”
"Forget it, my money is not blown by the wind. I'll come back when I go back and ask the teacher for advice. Chu Chen sneered in his heart as he spoke, and said secretly, you are about to leave. Even if I promise to go to someone then!
Seeing that Chu Chen said this, Ding Lao Wei couldn't persuade him again, otherwise it would seem that there was something greasy in it, so he could only regretfully take the things back.
Jia Yuqiang stood up and said, "Old Monster Ding, do you have anything else?" If not, we'll go. Of course, if you want to treat us to dinner. We'd love to do that too. ”
Hearing the words "invite us to dinner", Ding Laowei's expression changed a little. I skipped the topic with a haha.
Seeing this, Jia Yuqiang stabbed a few words sarcastically, and then walked out of the store with Chu Chen.
After the two left, Ding Lao Wei put away the things, and when he saw that most of the things had not been sold, he sighed, and then, he frowned, and suddenly thought of a question, why did the stupid people in his eyes seem to buy all the real things, what is going on?
Whether it was a coincidence or deliberate, Ding Lao Wei couldn't figure it out for a while, he thought about Chu Chen and Jia Yuqiang's expressions just now, and found that there was nothing strange about it, and finally felt that the possibility of a coincidence was relatively high. ……
After walking for a distance, without waiting for Jia Yuqiang to ask, Chu Chen explained the truth of the matter to Jia Yuqiang, and finally said: "Mr. Jia, I'm sorry to have wronged you for a while, but don't worry, Ding Lao Wei will definitely not have any good results." ”
The reason why Chu Chen only told Jia Yuqiang about the matter now was because he didn't want Jia Yuqiang to know the truth and show any weakness when facing Ding Laowei, although the possibility is not high, but it should be guarded against.
After learning what happened, Jia Yuqiang no longer complained that Chu Chen didn't let him take revenge just now, he said with a smile: "If you can let me go to prison, it must be more relieving than my simple venting, and didn't you let me buy this statue!" However, I really can't see what is the character of this statue. ”
The statue in Jia Yuqiang's hand is full, with a high comb bun, both ears hanging down the shoulders, eyes slightly closed, and a smile on the corners of his lips. Wearing a scarf, with slender five fingers, he sits sideways on the lotus platform with a waving pipa in his hand, as if he is listening to it, looking solemn and dynamic.
Chu Chen pointed to the statue and explained with a smile: "This is actually a statue of Lotte Lotte Statue, although the surface rust is a little strict, but you can still see the characteristics of this statue in terms of carving workmanship and other aspects, plus the colorful ornaments exposed in these places, I think this is a painted stone carving statue of Lotte in the middle of the Tang Dynasty." ”
"Tang Dynasty?" After listening to Chu Chen's explanation, Jia Yuqiang was a little surprised, and then asked, "What about its value?" ”
Chu Chen replied: "About seventy or eighty thousand, of course, this appearance is definitely not worth this price now, after you go back, just remove the rust on it." ”
Firmly remembering the method of removing the rust that Chu Chen said, Jia Yuqiang thanked him: "Director Chu, thank you so much." ”
Chu Chen waved his hand and said with a smile: "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know about Ding Laowei, let's take what we need." ”
"Where, where!" Jia Yuqiang hurriedly complimented Chu Chen a few more words, just like Chu Chen thought before, with a statue worth seventy or eighty thousand, if Jia Yuqiang still complains, he is really too greedy.
Then, Jia Yuqiang asked curiously: "Director Chu, take the liberty of asking, does that statue also have any doorway?" ”
Chu Chen smiled slightly: "Let's go to dinner first, and talk about this while eating." ”
After speaking, the two walked to the car, Zuo Shan hurriedly got out of the car and said, "Chu Shao, I made a discovery just now." ”
"What discovery?" Chu Chen's spirits perked up, and he hurriedly asked.
Zuo Shan replied: "Didn't you just tell me about Ding Lao Wei, I found that you just went in for a while, there was a person who was very similar to the Ding Lao Wei you said, so he walked from there to the alley over there, took a box from a middle-aged man, and the two of them chatted for a while before he returned from the same way." ”
"Later, I went to follow the middle-aged man again, and found that he drove a Santana away, so I called Liu Lao and reported the situation and license plate number to him."
Chu Chen nodded happily: "Very good, it should be done." (To be continued)
