Chapter 741: Chest
When Yi Hongguo and the others heard Chu Chen say this, their faces were all happy.
As for the distribution of jadeite, everyone is already familiar with it, and after a while, the specific distribution plan was discussed, and everyone was happy for a while. Of course, the income given to Chu Chen could not be less, and everyone gave him a total of 31 million.
Subsequently, seeing that there was nothing to do here at the venue, the group got on the bus and prepared to return to the hotel.
Not long after the car drove for a while, Zhang Yanbin, who was sitting across the aisle, approached Chu Chen and said, "I said, Luo Qiming's kid just now, why does it look like a different person, this guy can't be thinking about a conspiracy against you in his stomach!" ”
Liu Sizhe took over and said, "Hey! I think it's a little strange when you say that! This kid was only aggressive before the competition, how did the results come out, but he was so calm, could he be convinced after such a while? I don't believe that. ”
Dong Fatzi said: "I think, Chu Chen has nothing to do with him on weekdays, even if he has any conspiracy, there is no need to worry too much!" ”
Zhang Yanbin shook his head and said: "But don't forget, this is Myanmar, and there are many outlaws......"
"Uh...... That's it, too! Dong Fat said with a sigh.
Hearing Zhang Yanbin say this, Hu Yong and Zuo Shan also raised their vigilance, after all, this is not Chu Chen's land, and this place in Myanmar is indeed not peaceful now, if Luo Qiming really wants to hire someone to deal with Chu Chen, it is much easier than in China.
Chu Chen shook his head with a smile and said, "Don't worry so much, Luo Qiming and their family have a big business, even if they have already separated." What they do, they also have to think about the consequences. ”
Wan Jijun, who was sitting in the front, spoke: "Xiaochen, what you said is also right. However, there is a way to prevent people's hearts. It's better to be vigilant. ”
Chu Chen thought about it, this matter really couldn't be guarded against, so he said: "Well, I won't go out to hang out these days, and when the public market is over, I will transfer to the plane to England......"
Next, everyone talked and laughed, very quickly. The bus was about to enter the city, when Chu Chen's mobile phone suddenly rang, and when he took out his mobile phone, he saw that it was the phone number of the hotel where they were staying.
"Is it Chu Chen, Mr. Chu?" On the other end of the phone, there was a voice with a vague impression in Chu Chen's mind.
"Hello, I'm Chu Chen, I don't know who you are?"
"I'm the guy who set up the stall at the Shwedagon Pagoda that day. Didn't you say you wanted my box? I've taken it now, you won't regret it, will you? ”
Hearing this, Chu Chen's spirits perked up, and he hurriedly said, "How could I regret this." Are you in the hotel now? ”
"Yes, I'm at the hotel right now."
"Well, I'll be there in about ten minutes. Please wait for me. ”
"Okay......
After hanging up the phone, Liu Sizhe, who was sitting behind him, asked with a smile: "Brother Chen." Isn't the guy who sold you jade crabs here? ”
Chu Chen nodded with a smile and said, "Well, he brought the box over." ”
Liu Sizhe smiled when he heard this: "If that person knows that you are because of that jade crab." I don't know how I'll feel about deliberately mentioning that box. ”
Chu Chen said with a smile: "You have nothing to say about this kind of thing, if it is really like what you say, then what kind of business are there for so many leaks in our antique market!" ”
Liu Sizhe smiled: "That's right, but, Brother Chen, do you really plan to buy that box?" ”
"Of course, since you've already promised, you can't just keep your word, right?"
Chu Chen smiled slightly, not to mention that the box was very likely to be what he was looking for, even if it wasn't, he would buy it, after all, people have run such a long way for you, and they have already said it in advance, no matter how good he is, he will not be like some people in society now, who only think about his own interests in his mind, and he doesn't even know what integrity is.
The bus drove to the door of the hotel and stopped, Chu Chen got out of the car, and saw the stall owner, at this time, he was holding a box thirty or forty centimeters long and more than twenty centimeters high, waiting at the door of the hotel.
Chu Chen hurriedly stepped forward, greeted him with a smile, and then prepared to invite him to sit in the hotel first.
The stall owner smiled honestly and said: "Mr. Chu, I will go back in a while, so I won't go in, you can see this box first, is it what you want." ”
Chu Chen smiled and nodded, and then took the box into his hands. Because this box is made of red sandalwood, the weight is not light, and when the box is in his hand, he feels that his hand is sinking.
The box is rectangular, and the lid box is carved from the finest red sandalwood materials that are carefully and solid, and the texture is rich, showing its unique advantages.
The five sides of the box are full of carved ornamentation, the top is embossed with cloud dragon pattern, only to see the auspicious clouds full of sky, Shu roll freely, the dragon is mighty and vigorous, wear more than the vast Miao Yunchuan, the momentum is magnificent, the carving is smooth. The front of the box is carved with two opposite glass dragons, equipped with a copper luan gold entwined branch lotus pattern of the face leaf and a ruyi head-shaped beat, and the two sides are also carved with glass dragons and copper handles.
The whole utensils are rigorous, majestic and orthodox, the ornamentation is gorgeous and prosperous, the materials are of excellent quality, the carving process is extremely exquisite, it is a rare red sandalwood box boutique, and it is worth a lot.
It's a pity that this box was made in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, and if it was made by the palace office in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, the value could be even higher.
Of course, then again, if the box wasn't made in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, Chu Chen wouldn't have cared so much.
After careful observation, Chu Chen used his ability again, and found that this box was indeed the object he was looking for, and then he finally put his mind at ease.
He raised his head and said with a smile: "Boss, this box is indeed something I like, I don't know how much you can cut love?" ”
"This ......" The stall owner seemed a little hesitant at this time, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
Seeing this situation, Chu Chen said: "Boss, if you have any conditions, as long as it is reasonable, we can discuss it." ”
The stall owner let out a sigh of relief when he heard this, and then said with some embarrassment: "Mr. Chu, first of all, let me make it clear, I really don't want to sit on the ground and start the price, but this box has been passed down in my house for a long time, if there is something at home recently, my grandfather probably won't take it out......"
"Boss, just tell me how much it is!" Chu Chen said with a smile.
"Five hundred meters!" After speaking, the stall owner felt very embarrassed, you know, the new box he sold will not be 30 meters a piece, 500 meters is already a sky-high price for him.
Seeing the stall owner looking at him with some apprehension, Chu Chen couldn't help but feel a little funny in his heart, he originally thought that the stall owner would ask for at least one or two thousand RMB, but it turned out to be just over four thousand, this price allowed him to pick up a small box again, how could he not agree.
Chu Chen nodded directly and said, "Okay!" Five hundred is five hundred, in this way, it is difficult for you to help me run, according to our previous agreement, I will add another fifty meters, what do you think? ”
"This ...... This...... That's a bit embarrassing! Seeing that Chu Chen had added another fifty, the stall owner was very grateful to Chu Chen for being able to keep his word, although he wanted to say that it didn't take so much, but in the face of the temptation of money, he still didn't say it.
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about, you deserve it." Chu Chen smiled, and then counted a few green tickets and handed them over to the stall owner.
After receiving so many rice dollars at once, the stall owner was excited, so he hurriedly checked the money carefully, and after carefully collecting it, he said goodbye to Chu Chen.
After seeing the stall owner leave happily, Liu Sizhe sighed: "Hey! It seems that this person must be educated, otherwise he will be happy to help him count the money if he is sold one day! ”
Chu Chen pushed Liu Sizhe, laughed and said, "You kid has a lot of strange words, let me in......"
Back at the hotel, everyone first drank tea for a while, and then everyone arrived before they walked into the private room that Chu Chen had booked.
There is a way to gather like things, Chu Chen's friends, although their personalities are different, they are more decent in terms of dealing with people, plus everyone has a common topic, after drinking a few times, everyone chatted quickly, and there is no need to say much about the excitement of the banquet.
After dinner, Chu Chen sent the drunk Liu Sizhe and the others into their rooms, and then returned to their respective rooms, and only after taking a shower did they take out the box.
In addition to the wonderful workmanship, this box does not seem to have anything special, the box is opened, and the inside is also empty, and people who don't know why will not think that there will be something hidden in this box.
Chu Chen took out the tools that had been prepared earlier, and then carefully and quickly pried open the face leaves of the copper luan gold entwined branch lotus pattern in the lower part of the box. Don't look at his fast movements, in fact, if he hadn't followed the steps in the notebook, unless he used violence, he would have broken the box for me.
Moreover, this box is actually the same as the "belly hall", which has a self-destruct function, and if someone really violently pries the box open, the mechanism hidden in the mezzanine will be opened, and the things hidden inside will be destroyed immediately.
When the face leaf was picked up, Chu Chen saw the keyhole located under the face leaf, which was the mystery of the whole box. Then, he hurriedly took out the key he had gotten before, and after putting it into the lock hole, he twisted it slightly, and he heard a "pop", and the bottom plate inside the box suddenly popped up.
Perhaps, some friends will find it strange, since the secret compartment is hidden at the bottom of the box, why hasn't anyone found it for so many years?
The reason is actually simple, first of all, the bottom plate that pops out is very thin, Chu Chen estimates that the thickness of the bottom plate is estimated to be two millimeters.
In addition, there are only a few pieces of paper hidden under the bottom plate, and there is also no thickness, so that the average person will only think that the bottom plate of this box is a little thick, and they will not think that there will be anything hidden inside. (To be continued......)
