Chapter 539: Revenge (I)
After listening to what Chu Chen said, everyone nodded again and again in agreement, otherwise they really couldn't think of any other reason to explain why Su Dongpo wrote such a poem and painting to Huang Tingjian before he died.
And judging from the inscription written by Huang Tingjian, in addition to the great sorrow for Su Dongpo's death, it can also be seen in the poetry that he is dissatisfied with the officialdom and deeply helpless, which can also indirectly prove that the reason why Su Dongpo gave him this painting should also have the meaning of pouring out his life's ambition.
However, no matter what the situation was at the time, this painting is indeed a rare masterpiece, but what makes Chu Chen feel distressed is that because this painting has not been kept well, there are mold spots and cavities on the paper, and it has slightly affected the quality of the painting, but fortunately, it does not affect much, as long as it is repaired a little.
After Chu Chen carefully appreciated this work, he said: "Old Sun, I really like this painting, and its value is higher than that of a snuffbox. ”
"More expensive than a snuffbox?" Sun Dayou said with an incredulous face: "Impossible, you see that this painting has both mold spots and cavities, how can it be more expensive than a snuff bottle?" ”
Chu Chen smiled slightly and said: "Mildew spots and cavities have indeed affected the value of this painting, but no matter what, this is also Su Dongpo's authentic work, and there is also Huang Tingjian's promotion on it, which can be described as very precious, and after nearly nine hundred years, it is not easy to preserve it like this." ”
"And how much is this painting worth?" Sun Dayou asked.
Chu Chen thought about it again and again, but it was really difficult to draw conclusions, and discussed it with Uncle Wu again.
This situation is actually normal. It is said that there are only more than 50 pieces in our country (including more than 10 pieces in the mainland and more than 40 pieces in the treasure island). A small number of others spread to island countries, rice countries and other countries.
And so far, among these collections. Su Dongpo's painting in China has only one "Xiaoxiang Bamboo and Stone Map" has been determined by many experts to be authentic, so the authenticity of Su Dongpo's painting before his death can be imagined.
Seeing Chu Chen and Uncle Wu's solemn appearance, Sun Dayou also knew that his painting should not be simple, he frowned and thought about it, and after seeing that Chu Chen and Uncle Wu had finished discussing, he hurriedly asked: "Boss Chu, I don't know how many digits the value of my painting is?" ”
Chu Chen was slightly stunned. Then he replied truthfully: "It should be eight figures." ”
Although Sun Dayou was already prepared, he was still taken aback by what Chu Chen said, in fact, this price is very normal, let's just say that Su Dongpo's "Xiaoxiang Bamboo and Stone Map", when the buyer bought it in 1961, it had already cost 5,000 yuan, you must know that it was 1961, and 5,000 yuan was already a lot of money.
Until now, the painting is worth tens of millions, which is completely deserved.
Halfway through. Sun Dayou came back to his senses, rubbed his wet hands, and said, "In that case, Boss Chu." Just give me 10 million, and this painting and that snuffbox will be yours! ”
Hearing this, Chu Chen was surprised. waved his hand again and again: "Old Sun, this can't be done." Tens of millions of things, I bought them for 10 million. Let people know that the Tao will poke me in the back in the back! ”
Sun Dayou said with a smile: "Boss Chu, although I understand antiques, I don't know what antique market, but I have also heard others say that tens of thousands of dollars have earned tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands, it should be a lot, compared to it, our transaction today is nothing." ”
Chu Chen cried and laughed when he heard this: "Old Sun, what you said about picking up leaks happened without knowing it, let's buy and sell now!" ”
"I'm willing to let you pick up the leaks, and no one else can control it!" Sun Dayou waved his hand.
Chu Chen smiled bitterly and said, "This, Elder Sun, I think you should discuss it with your son first!" ”
"I'm in charge of my things, just say it's okay!" Sun Dayou said with a resolute face.
If it was a normal business, under the premise that the other party was gone, Chu Chen would not think much about it at this price, but in this situation, if Chu Chen really had to agree, it would be very immoral to go against his heart and not say it.
Chu Chen has always felt that character determines luck, and the reason why he has been picking up leaks now is also because he has never done anything bad, if he loses his character, then maybe he will not have the luck he used to be as good as before in the future.
Chu Chen said sincerely: "Old Sun, listen to me, I really want this painting very much, but I am not a profiteer, so I can't spend 10 million to buy these two things of yours with peace of mind!" If you insist on this price, I will have no choice but not to buy it. ”
"This ......" Sun Dayou frowned and pondered for a while, then asked, "Then how much do you think is appropriate?" ”
"I'll take advantage of you, count it as 50 million!" Chu Chen replied.
To be honest, the price Chu Chen said is quite reasonable, after all, the painting itself is of great significance, and the length of the painting is not small, the size is 105*42CM, in addition, there is an inscription by Huang Tingjian on this painting, celebrities and celebrities, and the value is even higher, if it is auctioned, it is not 50 million that can be bought at all.
Of course, the usual buying and selling in the market will definitely not be like the price at the auction, so with the current market, the price offered by Chu Chen is quite reasonable.
Sun Dayou was already shocked to the point of numbness, even if Chu Chen said that it was worth 100 million, he would not be dumbfounded now, so he immediately shook his head again and again: "No, this price is too high, I'll give you a five-percent discount!" ”
"55% off is too low, it's still 95% off! ……”
Seeing Chu Chen and Sun Dayou bargaining, those who didn't know what to do thought thought that Chu Chen was the seller and Sun Dayou was the buyer, and the others saw that the two would rather suffer losses than take advantage, and they all laughed secretly in their hearts.
After the last, Sun Dayou said speechlessly: "Okay, okay, 40 million is 40 million, but there is one point, the snuff bottle must also be counted in it, otherwise I really won't sell it." ”
"Xiaochen, you just agree!" Uncle Wu persuaded on the side.
"Good ......"
Chu Chen thought about it and finally agreed.
Next, the two sides signed an agreement, and then Chu Chen accompanied Sun Dayou to the bank to transfer the account, when Sun Dayou took the bank card with 40 million in it, he had a trance, like a feeling of falling into a dream.
Of course, Sun Dayou's performance is also human nature, no matter which ordinary person suddenly gets such a large sum of money, his mood will be the same as him.
"Old Sun, do you want me to send you back?" Chu Chen saw that Sun Dayou looked depressed, so he proposed.
"Huh?" When Sun Dayou heard Chu Chen's words, he came back to his senses and hurriedly said: "Boss Chu, don't bother you, look at my whole body, it's no more than three hundred yuan, no matter what, others won't think I'm a multimillionaire." And I'll take a taxi back immediately, in broad daylight, will the taxi driver rob me? ”
Chu Chen smiled and said, "That's okay, be careful on your old road, and in addition, help me let your family take it!" ”
"Okay! Boss Chu, go get busy too! ……”
After seeing Sun Dayou leave, Chu Chen walked quickly to the store, the condition of the painting was not good, he had to send the painting to Liu Lao to deal with it quickly.
However, Chu Chen hadn't walked a few steps before his mind moved, and then he slowed down his pace and pretended to walk inadvertently to a relatively remote alley.
Chu Chen turned around and asked the five ruffians who came with him, "I don't know how many friends have been following me, what do you think?" ”
As soon as the words fell, one of the ruffians with a tattoo on his neck pointed at Chu Chen and scolded: "Little white face, you TMD stepped on me just now, and asked us what we have to say, do you want to be embarrassed?" ”
"Oh, I don't know when I stepped on you?" Chu Chen asked with a smile.
"Just now, how can you drop, and you still want to play tricks?" The tattooed ruffian said with an angry face.
"Tell me, then, what are you going to do?" Chu Chen spread his hands and said.
"Of course, it's to accompany us to pay for mental damage, and give us a few more kowtows!" The tattooed ruffian Ha Lang Ha Da Lang laughed.
Several other ruffians were also rampant, and a bald ruffian standing in the middle laughed secretly while laughing, Liu Shao also said that this Chu Chen is very smart, just like them, anyone with a clear eye knows that Lu Dao is here to trouble him, and he is still like a person who has nothing to do, no matter how he looks at it, he looks like a fool. And although this Chu Chen is relatively tall, he has fine skin and tender meat, no matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like the master that Liu Shao said.
Chu Chen smiled coldly in his heart, patted the wallet in his pocket with a smile, and said, "I have a lot of money, but who do you want to come and get it?" ”
The bald head sneered in his heart, even if this guy is good, but there is a way that two fists are hard to beat with four hands, plus he is a veteran of fighting, are you still afraid that a little white face will not be successful? So he glanced at the two yellow hairs beside him.
The two yellow hairs were instructed by the bald head, and while moving the joints of their hands, they walked towards Chu Chen with a cruel smile.
However, when the two of them were about to walk in front of Chu Chen, they felt a flower in front of them, and then they felt as if they were flying behind them, and the two of them fell heavily to the ground with a "bump", humming and chirping for a long time and couldn't get up.
Seeing this, the bald ruffian was suddenly taken aback, and said secretly, it seems that what Liu Shao said is true, this little white face is indeed a master! But what about the masters, there is an old saying in the rivers and lakes, no matter how high the kung fu is, he is afraid of kitchen knives, he doesn't believe it, this bare-handed little white face can compare to the machetes in their hands?
"Brothers, dig out the guys!" The bald head shouted while secretly hating, even if this little white face kneels and begs for mercy for a while, he must be abolished! (To be continued......)
