Chapter 81: The Black Market for Antiques (1)
It was the first time for Chu Chen to sit on Zhao Qirui's Daben, and after entering, he could see at a glance that at least the decoration in the car must have been remodified, and at a glance, he knew that all the equipment was top-notch, but it was not so conspicuous, giving people a low-key and luxurious feeling.
After the car started, Zhao Qirui asked, "Xiao Chu, how was the harvest of going to Xijing this time?" ”
Chu Chen said a little modestly: "It's okay, I made a little money, and I got a few antiques." ”
After Zhao Qirui heard this, he smiled and said, "Oh, is that it?" You kid, you're definitely not telling the truth. ”
"Hehe, since you've heard what Xiaolan said, don't say that." Chu Chen scratched the back of his head and said with some embarrassment.
"Xiaolan?"
Zhao Qirui was a little strange: "You mean Yulan?" Why did she go to Xijing with you? ”
"Yes!"
When Chu Chen heard him say this, he explained a little strangely: "Xiaolan and her classmate happened to be the girlfriend of a friend of mine, so this time we went to Xijing together, didn't Xiaolan tell you?" ”
Zhao Qirui shook his head and said, "No, this girl hasn't been to my house for a long time?" How did she think to mention me to you? ”
"Hehe, when you called me that day, we happened to be drinking tea in the teahouse with our friends, so she asked me, but I didn't expect her to be your daughter." Chu Chen explained with a smile.
"Oh, I see."
Zhao Qirui nodded, and then said with a smile: "By the way, I was almost interrupted by this, Xiao Chu, you are not honest!" ”
Chu Chen was a little embarrassed when he heard this, he didn't expect that Zhao Qirui was just joking before, so he had to tell Zhao Qirui briefly about gambling stones and picking up leaks.
After listening, Zhao Qirui shook his head a little speechlessly, patted him on the shoulder and said:
"Good boy, your speed of making money, in the Northeast dialect, it is leveraged, I didn't expect to see you for a few days, but you have become a multimillionaire. No, nothing else, you have to give me a look at the legendary reborn jade, if you don't have it, then let Ah Chao go back and run. ”
"Hehe, I don't need it, I just took it." Chu Chen smiled and took out a bag, then took out the jade cicada from it and handed it to Zhao Qirui, who looked a little impatient on the side.
As for weishenme to put the jade cicada into the bag, this is also what Liu Lao taught him, if you want to plate jade, then whether it is a jade cicada or other jade, it is best to put it in the bag or other pockets, and then it is better to collect it closely, especially in summer.
Because jade comes into contact with too much sweat, it will be eroded, causing damage to the outer layer and affecting the original vividness.
Zhao Qirui took a closer look at the jade cicada boy and exclaimed: "It turns out that this is the reborn jade, this color is so beautiful, like a top-level ruby, Xiao Chu, this thing can really dye water red?" Can you open my eyes? ”
Chu Chen listened to Liu Lao's story of trying to teach, and was somewhat resistant to this request, but Zhao Qirui helped him so much, he definitely couldn't refuse this matter, so he nodded and agreed.
The mineral water was slowly poured into the glass, and after that, Zhao Qirui was also dumbfounded, with an incredible look on his face. And although Chu Chen's eyes were still a little obsessed, there was a faint pain in his heart, how long would it take for him to recover!
After returning the jade cicada to Chu Chen, Zhao Qirui couldn't help sighing: "Xiao Chu, your luck, I'm really jealous and can't be jealous, you, I think it was born specifically for picking up leaks." ”
Chu Chen smiled, he couldn't answer this matter, he didn't necessarily have to tell him that he had a special ability.
Next, the two talked about some strange things about antiques, but Chu Chen accidentally saw the outside of the car, but found that this location seemed to be almost to the northwest of the capital, the junction with Yan Province, and felt a little strange, I didn't hear that there was any big auction here, could it be a small auction?
So he asked a little strangely: "Brother Zhao, are we going to Yan Province to participate in the auction?" ”
Zhao Qirui smiled mysteriously: "What we are going to participate in is not a formal auction. ”
"Not a regular auction?"
Chu Chen was a little puzzled when he heard this answer, and suddenly, he thought of a possibility, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Zhao, you don't mean that we are going to the antique black market, right?" ”
Zhao Qirui replied with a smile: "Xiao Chu, you reacted quickly, we are indeed going to the antique black market, why, you have also participated?" ”
Chu Chen has also heard of the antique black market many times, and it is actually the same as the underground boxing market and underground racing, which has always existed in China, and it has been repeatedly banned. After all, capital is profit-seeking, and in a particularly lucrative industry like antiques, there will definitely be some criminals involved in it.
In the past, there were not too many antique black markets, and ordinary people could not encounter them, but in recent years, after the antique collection boom, this kind of antique black market has a tendency to be flooded. I believe that people who are familiar with antiques will have heard of this antique black market, and many of them are very yearning for the antique black market.
However, the things traded in the antique black market will not be checked by an expert team, and there must be no quality guarantee. Moreover, there are often a lot of people in the black market of antiques, so there are undoubtedly some great risks in terms of the safety of people and property.
That being the case, what about the antique black market weishenme is so attractive? This is because this kind of place is where thieves and tomb robbers sell their stolen goods, and many cultural relics that cannot be sold through normal channels are sold here, so there must be a lot of good things, and there are some fine treasures, which of course greatly enhances people's enthusiasm.
And like this kind of transaction, you don't have to pay other fees like a general auction, of course, people who can participate in the antique black market have a certain strength, what they like, this little money will not care too much, the key is to fancy the probability of high-quality products here.
As for security, Chu Chen is not too worried, because unless he is the kind of organizer who changes places with one shot, there will always be some guarantees in other aspects of security. After all, if something really happens, the news will leak out quickly, and when the time comes, no one will be able to please him. And the reputation is bad, and no one will come to patronize it anymore.
Besides, Zhao Qirui will definitely consider it in terms of security, after all, he is a golden body, and with his ability, it is impossible that he does not know anything about the organizers.
Chu Chen said with some self-deprecation: "No, I just heard about it before, and no one will inform me of this little person." Today is thanks to Brother Zhao, and it can be regarded as a dream that I have fulfilled for many years. ”
Zhao Qirui smiled and said: "What do you want to say about TOEFL, if you want to say TOEFL, I also entrusted you with your blessing and saw the legendary reborn jade." By the way, Chao, how are things going in your house? ”
Ah Chao replied while driving: "It's already done, the house is on the Xicheng side, and the matter of moving the household registration has also been greeted by Director Li, as long as the information arrives, it can be done." ”
Hearing this, Chu Chen hurriedly thanked: "I'm sorry for my friend Xiexie and you, thank you so much, how much does it cost, you tell me directly." ”
"What to talk about thanks, it's just a small thing, as for the cost, let's talk about it when the time comes." Zhao Qirui waved his hand.
It was at this time that Ah Chao drove to a relatively remote place, and then gradually slowed down.
"This way!" Suddenly, at an intersection on the left side of the road, a man shouted and waved his hand vigorously.
Seeing this, Ah Chao pulled over the car, and the man was not polite, and directly opened the front door and sat in.
As soon as the man came in, Zhao Qirui asked, "Ma Bald, I haven't seen you for a long time, how is the goods this time?" ”
Chu Chen was a little strange, how did Zhao Qirui call this person Ma Bald, obviously this person only looked like he was in his thirties, and when the man turned his head, he suddenly realized. Although this man looked to be in his thirties, the hair on the front had already fallen early.
And this person looks quite ordinary, but Chu Chen always felt a little weird, and after thinking about it carefully, he realized that this person's eyes were a little cross-eyed.
Ma Bald said with a flattering smile: "Mr. Zhao, if things are not haode, how can I come to inform you?" ”
"That's good, what you said, if the thing is not good, be careful that I'm not welcome!"
The bald man nodded and said, "Don't worry, things are not good, you can come to me." Mr. Zhao, who is this little brother? It's a bit of a noodle. ”
"This is Xiao Chu, the palm master I invited."
Zhao Qirui saw Ma Bald's somewhat contemptuous eyes, so he said: "You guy is a dog who looks down on people, and Xiao Chu can pick up leaks and become a multimillionaire, do you say that your eyesight is not good?" ”
After hearing this, Ma Bald's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly took out a business card and handed it to Chu Chen, and said humbly:
"Mr. Zhao, what you said is so right, I am a dog's eye, ordinary people say that dog's eye is short-sighted, no, I don't know Chu Shao's gold-inlaid jade. Chu Shao, don't mind, Biren Ma Jinsheng, known as Ma Bald, specializes in organizing some antique errands or doing some stolen work, if you have any needs in the future, you can call me. ”
In the antique industry, people from three religions and nine streams must also know a few, which will also help a lot in the collection of antiques, so Chu Chen also exchanged his business cards, and then said with a smile: "Mr. Ma, I don't dare to be a Chu Shao, but next time I need anything, I will definitely talk to you." ”
Zhao Qirui wanted to say that Ma Bald Man was still there, so he waved his hand and interrupted him: "Okay, Ma Bald, don't ink, hurry up and show the way." ”
