Chapter Ninety-Three: The Formula
A loud shout sounded in his ears, and Chu Chen's frightened hand shook, almost cutting the knife to his fingers. looked up at Liu Lao, and found that Liu Lao was holding a magnifying glass in his right hand and a box in his left hand.
"Dad, what's wrong?" Liu Qinshu took the lead in asking the question Chu Chen wanted to ask.
"Hehe, I found an interesting thing, Xiao Chu, you can take a look."
Liu Lao smiled and handed the box and the magnifying glass to Chu Chen, and then pointed to a location inside for him to check for himself.
This look surprised Chu Chen, it turned out that on the candlestick, there were actually densely engraved words smaller than a fly's head, after careful identification, he said with some excitement: "This is actually engraved with the formula of the Tranquility Candle, and that master can actually engrave such a small word on it, it is really breathtaking!" ”
After Liu Lao heard this, he also nodded again and again, the craftsmanship of the master who carved was too high, not to mention that he could engrave such a small word, and in the magnifying glass, it was still so clear, it was really amazing.
It is engraved with regular script characters, that is, traditional characters, because of the needs of the antique industry, Chu Chen also knows it, so he opened his mouth and said: "Aunt Liu, I'll read out all the words inside, please remember it." ”
Liu Lao waved his hand and said, "Don't be busy, Xiao Chu, this recipe is priceless, don't you worry about us going to it?" ”
Chu Chen shook his head and said with a smile: "What's not to worry about this, besides, the things recorded in the recipe can't be done or not, it's impossible to say!" Besides, I really didn't think about making money with this recipe. ”
Liu Lao shook his head with a smile and said, "Okay, let's write out the formula first, and then make a decision." ”
The reading of this recipe is also very simple, circle by circle from the inside out, just read it down. And Chu Chen also knows the raw materials inside, and he should still find them, but many of them are very precious Chinese medicinal materials and the like, and after calculating the entire value, Chu Chen was speechless for a while.
The value of raw materials alone is more than 400,000, nearly 500,000, and then counting labor and other tools, it is almost exactly 500,000, and the formula zuihou also specially reminds that if you order an hour a day, you can order about 60 days.
After the three of them saw it, they looked at each other, Liu Qinshu smiled bitterly: "This is a burning candle, it is obviously money that is burned, and 10,000 will be burned in two hours a day, and only those billionaires can afford this kind of consumption!" ”
After being silent for a long time, Liu Lao coughed lightly and said with a smile: "After all, this is just the original formula, with the current technology, it is not that it cannot be improved, not to mention much, even if the effect of the fragrance is only one-third, the price is about 10,000 yuan, it is still promising." ”
Chu Chen thought about it, and it was true, after all, the effect of the strange fragrance produced after the candle was burned was very amazing, not only could it make people calm and clear, but also improve sleep, even if the effect was only one-third, it was better than the top incense on the market.
And if you can really control the price at about 10,000 yuan, 30 minutes a day, then you can also order 240 days. As long as there is an effect, for some bosses, this amount of money is nothing at all, on the contrary, Chu Chen also feels that compared with the efficacy, 10,000 yuan a piece is too cheap.
Thinking of this, Chu Chen said: "Old Liu, in fact, I think that if it were me, it would be worth spending 500,000 yuan to buy such a candle, in fact, this thing is enough for half an hour a day, so that it can be lit for two hundred and forty days, in terms of efficacy, 500,000 is really not expensive." ”
When the two heard Chu Chen say this, they felt that it was really the case, Liu Qinshu smiled and said: "Xiao Chu, listening to what you say, it is really like this, and this strange fragrance has endured for a long time, from the time the candle was extinguished to the present, it has been fifteen minutes, but you smell it, the fragrance in the room has not decreased much." ”
Chu Chen sniffed it, it was really true, so to speak, this recipe was really valuable.
Liu Qinshu saw Chu Chen's contemplative appearance, and said with a smile: "Xiao Chu, have you thought about it, how are you going to decide this formula, or you can simply sell it to me, what do you think?" ”
This request made Chu Chen a little difficult, since he had already talked to Zhao Qirui yesterday, he had to tell him first when he found the formula today. Otherwise, I'll tell him when it's sold, the formula has been sold, you go and ask someone else for it, if that's the case, what will Zhao Qirui think in his heart?
"Aunt Liu, I'm really sorry for this, I told Mr. Zhao yesterday, now that I have this formula, I still have to tell him first."
"What, Xiao Chu, are you going to sell at a price?" Liu Qinshu said with a straight face.
Chu Chen hurriedly said: "Aunt Liu, you misunderstood what I meant, I think it, people can't be untrustworthy, and besides, I didn't expect this recipe to make any money." ”
"Oh? Are you sure? I can tell you, the value of this formula is not low, I will pay 100 million to buy it, are you willing? ”
"100 million?"
As soon as he heard this number, Chu Chen was immediately startled, and his heart was also a little nervous, but when he thought of it, he had a special ability, from the time he got the ability to now, in just half a month, he had already earned more than 15 million, not counting a few treasures.
Thinking about it like this, Chu Chen's mood suddenly calmed down, with his ability, this money is just a number for him, and reputation and friendship are not something that can be bought with money, so he shook his head and said apologetically:
"Aunt Liu, I'm really sorry, if I hadn't notified Mr. Zhao first, I would definitely not have been able to pass this hurdle in my heart."
Liu Qinshu refused when he heard him so decisively, and his eyes were filled with inexplicable brilliance.
"Xiao Chu, you really don't sell it?"
Chu Chen shook his head firmly, of course.
At this time, Liu Lao, who had been silent, said with a smile: "Okay, you two stop, Xiao Chu, you can call now and let the third child of the Zhao family come to me." ”
The two were stunned for a moment after hearing this, although Chu Chen was a little strange about Liu Lao's instructions, but he still stepped aside and dialed the number with his mobile phone, and after a while, the phone was connected, Chu Chen talked a little and hung up.
"Old Liu, Mr. Zhao will come over in a while."
Liu Lao nodded, and then asked, "By the way, where did you buy the pen holder to hide this thing?" Why is he just with the third child of the Zhao family? ”
Chu Chen hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether the matter of the black market could be talked about, but after thinking about it, Liu Lao must also know about the black market, so he replied: "Liu Lao, I said don't be angry, I spent 2,000 yuan on the black market to shoot that pen holder." ”
Liu Lao smiled: "What's so angry about this, the black market, I've been there too, but I think it should be the third child of the Zhao family who took you there, right?" ”
Seeing Chu Chen nodding, he asked curiously, "Then tell me, are there any good things on the black market?" ”
"There are quite a lot of good things, and the finale of zuihou is still a Warring States Ding." Anyway, after saying it, Chu Chen told the matter of the tripod.
When Liu Lao heard this, he exclaimed: "What! There is still a tripod? Is it a bronze tripod? Big or small? I know, the finale, it must be a big ding, they are really bold, they even dare to sell this kind of heavy weapon. Speaking of zuihou, Liu Lao's tone already carried a hint of anger.
Chu Chen waved his hand again and again: "It's not bronze, it's Hetian jade." ”
"Oh, it turned out to be Hetian Yu's." When Liu Lao heard that it was Hetian Yu, he thought that the thing was not big, and his anger was a little smoother.
Chu Chen smiled bitterly: "Old Liu, I haven't finished my words yet, the tripod is not small, I estimate that the height is also eighty * ninety centimeters, and the jade quality is not bad, but fortunately, it is only a three-legged tripod." ”
"What, you said it's Hetian Yu's Dading? Or is it from the Warring States? Hearing this, Liu Lao stood up in shock.
Chu Chen nodded, and said affirmatively: "I can be sure of this, whether it is the characteristics of the ornamentation, or the carving technique, as well as the characteristics of the color, it must be from the Warring States period, and it can be seen that it has not been unearthed for a long time." ”
When Liu Lao heard this, he couldn't help but slap the table: "This group of Tufu is really too bold, we must arrest them all!" By the way, Xiao Chu, why didn't you think of taking that tripod down at that time! ”
Chu Chen didn't expect Liu Lao to start a fire, and his momentum was so strong, which made him a little frightened, and after calming Liu Lao's excitement, he smiled a little bitterly: "Liu Lao, the final transaction price of that tripod is 6.2 million, and I can't do anything if I want to shoot it at that time, and even Mr. Zhao didn't bring so much money." ”
"Xiao Chu, I know it's no wonder to you, hey, people are getting old, and their temper is a little bigger. But do you know who took the picture, you have to be careful when maintaining something like this, don't destroy it! Speaking of this, Liu Lao frowned worriedly.
With Chu Chen's memory, the appearance of the outburst boss can be remembered, but he doesn't know the other information: "I only know the appearance of that boss, as for the name, I don't know, you can ask Mr. Zhao to see if he will know." ”
Liu Lao nodded, and then asked about some details of the tripod. ……
After almost twenty minutes, Zhao Qirui and A Chao went to the living room under the leadership of Liu Qinshu, and along the way, Zhao Qirui also learned the reason for the incident from Liu Qinshu, and after coming in, he cast a grateful look at Chu Chen.
"Hello Liu!"
Liu Lao waved his hand and said a little anxiously: "Xiao Zhao, do you know the details of the owner who took the shot?" ”
