Zhao Qirui shook his head and said, "So that's the case, these people really do everything!" ”

Chu Chen nodded and said, "Speaking of opal fakes, there is now an imitation of the 'Opal Essence', which is enough to confuse the truth on the surface, but it is actually a glass-like substance to surround a plate-like crystal with changing color. This kind of thing can be seen clearly with a microscope or a high-powered magnifying glass, and the specific gravity and refractive index of the crystal are higher than that of true opal, which is also very different in comparison, and it is relatively easy to identify. ”

Jiang Jiachang smiled bitterly when he heard this: "It's simple, that's for an expert like Chu Shao, just like this necklace of mine, it's very simple to identify and learn, but I don't understand it before, so I can't help it." ”

"Eat a trench and grow a wisdom!"

Zhao Qirui patted Jiang Jiachang's shoulder and said, "However, why did you think of buying an opal necklace?" ”

"Hey! It's my little girl who has been clamoring for it, but it's just her birthday for a while, so I'll buy a necklace for her. ”

Jiang Jiachang explained: "At that time, after I bought the necklace, I happened to see these three jade jewelry, and I thought it was good, so I bought it by the way, but I didn't expect that these things were genuine, but there was a problem with the owner!" Later, I'm going to ask him, what does he mean, I've been doing business with him for so many years, and he dares to lie to me! ”

In the end, he couldn't contain the anger in his heart. Originally, he asked Chu Chen to help take a look at the jadeite, but he just wanted to confirm the quality of the jadeite, and he never thought that the other party would sell him with a fake, but the result was like this, how could he not be popular!

Zhao Qirui smiled: "Fat Jiang, what's so angry about this." Maybe the other party got something wrong? Aren't you angry for nothing? ”

Jiang Jiachang didn't think that the seller would be stupid enough to deceive him, and this necklace was not expensive. If you lie to him because of this, it will be worth the loss. When he heard this, he nodded and said, "I hope so, otherwise I want him to look good......"

After Jiang Jiachang put away the jewelry, everyone chatted about Hailao porcelain for a while, but they didn't see the real thing, and it was inconvenient for everyone to talk about it in detail, as for the source of things, Zhao Qirui didn't ask much, as the saying goes, cats have cat paths. Rat has a rat way, this kind of thing is better to ask less, otherwise it will seem that you don't understand the rules.

When the time was almost up, the group went to the clubhouse, and after entering the venue, they still sat in their old positions, drinking tea and chatting about gossip.

As time went on, guests began to enter the venue. However, the careful Chu Chen found that there were fewer guests who had come in the morning, and there were more unfamiliar faces. He guessed that it was likely that these people were only interested in the morning or afternoon lots. That's why I chose to come.

Near the start of the auction, Chu Chen saw an old man who looked radiant walk in, followed by a middle-aged man who looked well-dressed.

But. What made Chu Chen feel a little curious was that Zhao Heyan seemed to know the middle-aged man. And when she saw this person, her eyes were full of disgust. And when the middle-aged man saw them. Chu Chen also clearly felt that this person was stunned, but this person immediately followed the old man and sat down in a seat inside.

"Xiaoyan, do you know this person?" Wu Ke also felt that the atmosphere was a little strange, so he asked curiously.

Zhao Heyan pouted: "It's my mother's relative." It looks sanctimonious, but it's actually ...... Hehe! ”

Chu Chen had conjectures before, and the facts were exactly what he thought, in the words that Jiang Jiachang said in the morning, it was really unseemly. However, what about this person, it should have nothing to do with them, which can be seen from Gao Yiya's relatively indifferent attitude towards this person.

As in the morning, when the auctioneer walked up to the rostrum with a smile on his face, the scene immediately became much quieter. The auctioneer spoke routinely, and when the first lot appeared on the screen, the afternoon auction officially began.

In the afternoon auction, there are more than 30 items to be auctioned, of which bronzes and calligraphy and painting works account for the majority, and the lowest starting price and the highest starting price are calligraphy and painting works.

Because the auction uses rice dollars, the lowest is Fan Kuan's "Summer Mountain High Hidden Picture", with a starting price of almost 5,000 RMB, and the highest is Shi Tao's "Five Hundred Arhats", with a starting price of almost 500,000 RMB, which is exactly a hundred times different from the two.

The first auctions were all bronzes, although most of these bronzes were basically unearthed cultural relics, but Chu Chen's table was not as fierce as the morning.

It's not that Chu Chen doesn't want to shoot, but when he paid at noon, a steward came over and asked him to raise his noble hand in the afternoon. For this reason, the steward also proposed that Chu Chen could buy two national treasure-level bronzes at a relatively favorable price.

Of course, Chu Chen didn't agree all at once, and after some bargaining, he finally had one more, but the other party demanded that the transaction could only be completed after the auction was over. Since he said so, of course Chu Chen also let the other party set up a note, otherwise there is no evidence, this is not Chu Chen's territory, and it will be troublesome to regret it at that time.

Speaking of which, Chu Chen is still a little sorry for this, but there is no way, this is the other party's territory after all, and then the auction will be a big deal to find a trust to buy something, and it can be sold next time, and the other party may make any dangerous moves because of this. In this case, it is also a wise choice to choose to settle down.

Of course, although he agreed to the other party's request, Chu Chen would not shrink back, and when he met something he liked, or the value was relatively high, he would also participate in the bidding, and for the auction company, it didn't matter if Chu Chen auctioned a few pieces, as long as he controlled a certain amount.

The auction was held lively and fiercely, during which Zhao Qirui and Jiang Jiachang also made several moves, and they all won something.

Due to the fact that there are not many calligraphy and painting works, the auction will intersperse the middle of several heavyweight bronzes in the auction of calligraphy and painting works, so that the atmosphere of the scene has not fluctuated.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are honored to have our famous collector and master contribution, Mr. Li, in this auction. Mr. Li is one of the world's top connoisseurs of painting and calligraphy, below. Would you like to ask him to introduce us to the next lot - Shi Tao's "Five Hundred Arhats......"

Just as the auction was halfway through, the auctioneer came to give an enthusiastic introduction. As soon as he finished speaking, there was a discussion in the audience.

This Li Lao in the auctioneer's mouth. He is indeed the top calligraphy and painting expert in Haojing, and he is also a well-known figure in the antique industry of Haojing. However, this person's reputation is not very good, mainly because this person is too greedy for money, and often asks him to appraise a painting, which costs a lot of money.

However, this person has a little benefit, after receiving your money, things will definitely be done, and he is indeed more powerful, after so many years. Except for the mistakes in the first few years, up to now, not a single painting has been wrong, and the level of identification can be seen.

"Next, let us welcome Mr. Li with warm applause!"

After speaking, the auctioneer was the first to applaud, and the guests in the audience applauded and looked at the door. I want to witness the demeanor of this old Mr. Li.

After a while, I saw an old man dressed in Tang costume and a little thin came out at the entrance where the auctioneer came in just now. This person is the auctioneer's Li Lao.

After Li Lao came to the stage, he gestured to everyone, and then looked at the "Five Hundred Arhats" that appeared on the screen behind him. I will start to introduce it to you in detail.

"Hey! Even Old Man Li was invited, and Ling was willing to spend money. ”

saw Jiang Jiachang's disdainful look when he spoke. Zhao Qirui smiled and asked, "What, you have a conflict with this surnamed Li?" ”

Jiang Jiachang smiled and said, "It's not a contradiction. It's just that I used to know the relationship of my friends, and asked Old Man Li to appraise a Chinese painting, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he asked me for 100,000 yuan, and said that he was not ashamed to say that if the thing was genuine, his fame would be more than 100,000. ”

"If my painting was bought by tens of millions, it would be nothing, but I bought that painting for 10,000 yuan, and if it is identified as genuine, but the market value is only tens of thousands of yuan, I don't believe that just because Old Man Li appraised it, the value can be increased by 100,000 yuan out of thin air."

Chu Chen was a little surprised when he heard this, and said, "No, does it cost 100,000 yuan for everyone to ask him to appraise a thing?" ”

Jiang Jiachang smiled: "Don't say 100,000, no matter how expensive it is, he also charges appraisal fees based on factors such as the quality and value of things." The reason why I received 100,000 yuan for that painting was mainly because I didn't know who the author of the painting was, and because I had a small amount of money, he opened his mouth. ”

"Then did you let him do it?" Zhao Qirui asked.

"Of course not, I'm not stupid." Jiang Jiachang sneered: "Later, I went to another expert to appraise it, and it turned out that the painting was only painted by a well-known painter in the Qing Dynasty, and the market value was no more than 50,000 yuan. And the expert also said that with Old Man Li's ability, as soon as he sees this painting, he can basically know who the painter is. ”

Everyone agrees with this, since this Li Lao already knows the value of this painting, the price of 100,000 yuan is too much, and if Jiang Jiachang agrees, knowing this result, even if he wants to blame him, he can shirk it for various reasons.

While everyone was talking, Li Lao was almost finished introducing it, although he hadn't reached a conclusion yet, but the meaning of the words was that the painting was genuine.

This made Chu Chen very speechless, since this Li Lao's appraisal level was so high, Chu Chen didn't want to believe that he would not be able to see the authenticity and cause this situation, but he must have "collected money to do things".

At this time, Jiang Jiachang spoke: "However, although Old Man Li wants to die, his level is still okay, and our antique world also agrees with the results he gave." It seems that the price of this painting will definitely not be cheaper. ”

Hearing this, Chu Chen and the others all had smiles on their faces.

Seeing this situation, Jiang Jiachang asked a little strangely: "What, did I say it wrong?" ”

Zhao Heyan chuckled and said, "Fat uncle, my brother appraised this painting in detail yesterday, and it is not genuine at all." ”

"What?!" Jiang Jiachang exclaimed, because the sound was so loud that even the guests sitting next to him looked over.

"Be quiet!" Zhao Qirui patted him on the shoulder.

"Shhh Sorry, sorry! I was just too surprised. ”

Jiang Jiachang immediately realized that he was wrong, and hurriedly apologized to everyone, and then he still looked a little unbelievable and asked, "Is it really a fake?" ”

"It's not a fake, I think it should be Zhang Daqian's imitation, the collection value is still very high, but it's definitely not comparable to the original......" Chu Chen then briefly said some reasons.

Jiang Jiachang was stunned when he heard this, but the disbelief in his eyes did not subside much, the reason why he had such a statement was mainly because Zhao Qirui did not introduce Chu Chen in detail just now, so he only knew that Chu Chen was an expert in gambling stones now.

Besides, Chu Chen is an expert in gambling stones at such a young age, which already makes him feel incredible, and it is completely unimaginable for him to have another expert in calligraphy and painting appraisal.

Zhao Heyan snorted: "Fat uncle, I think you should watch Beijing TV's "Collecting the World", my brother is an expert invited by this show." ”

"Huh?" Jiang Jiachang was immediately stunned when he heard this.

Zhao Qirui said with a smile: "Don't uh, gambling on stones is just Ah Chen's side business, he is mainly in the antique business, and he is also a closed disciple of Liu Lao." ”

Jiang Jiachang looked at everyone in disbelief, and saw that there was indeed no joke, so he scratched his head and said with a wry smile: "The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, compared with Chu Shao, I feel that I am really old." ”

Zhao Qirui said with a smile: "Okay, don't compare with my nephew, compare with him, don't talk about you, I will be ashamed." ”

Chu Chen hurriedly and modestly said that what his uncle said was too exaggerated, he was just a better talent in this industry, and if he was in other industries, he couldn't compare to everyone.

Hearing Chu Chen's words, Wu Ke laughed secretly, with Chu Chen's ability to never forget, basically the knowledge of many industries can be learned immediately, and if you practice it, you will be able to do your job. Of course, it's too private not to say it, and in order to avoid everyone being shocked, she won't say it, hehe!

After sighing with emotion, Jiang Jiachang hurriedly came back to his senses and asked, "Chu Shao, according to what you said, Old Man Li is using people's money to eliminate disasters for others?" ”

Chu Chen shrugged his shoulders: "Do you still need to talk about this?" However, the boundary between calligraphy and painting appraisal is too blurred, it is completely public and reasonable, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable, unless Zhang Daqian comes to life and admits it himself, otherwise there is still a war of words. Moreover, even if this Li Lao loses in the end, he can use various reasons to excuse himself, if there is someone to help, his reputation will not be greatly affected. ”

Jiang Jiachang thought about it, it was really like this, and said regretfully: "Hey! It's a pity, I originally wanted to disgust Old Man Li, but it didn't seem to work. (To be continued......)
