When Du Zhonglin heard this, he was stunned for a while, and then he asked with some difficulty: "Could it be that there was no special case at that time, there must be no He Xiangu?" ”

Chu Chen replied: "The legend of He Xiangu has long existed, but although the legend of the Eight Immortals was prevalent in the Yuan Dynasty, the names of the Eight Immortals are not very fixed, or there are no He Xiangu, Uncle Cao Guo, Zhang Guolao, but Xu Shenweng, Feng Seng Shou, Zhang Shilang, Yuan Huzi, etc. They all have a characteristic, that is, the eight immortals are all male, and there are no females. ”

"As for our current ranking of the Eight Immortals, it was finally determined after Wu Yuantai's "Biography of the Eight Immortals in the Origin of the East" in the Ming Dynasty."

"How so!" Du Zhonglin couldn't accept this result at all, he suddenly stood up from his chair, pacing back and forth beside him, his face full of anxiety and helplessness, which made Chu Chen very worried.

In order to avoid any accidents, Chu Chen hurriedly stepped forward and comforted: "Old man, you calm down first, don't affect your body, then the gains outweigh the losses." ”

"This ...... However, this is my pension money, how can I calm down! ”

Du Zhonglin looked extremely desperate, and then, he was still a little unwilling, picked up the plum bottle and explained: "Teacher Chu, you see that this brown spot decoration has appeared on the Yue kiln in the late Western Jin Dynasty as early as possible. The Longquan kiln of the Yuan Dynasty inherited and developed this technique, bringing a variety of features to the monochrome glazed porcelain variety of celadon, and this plum vase is the best example. ”

△

"Also, look at the flint red of this exposed part, how bright and eye-catching the color is against the background of the surrounding green glaze! How could this be a fake? ”

When Chu Chen heard this, he sighed in his heart. How did you meet two people who bought an antique with all their net worth in just two days? Do you think before you buy it, in case you hit the eye. What kind of consequences will it be so hard?

Think about it, though. Last year, he was the same, he spent all his savings to buy that Tang Sancai, but in the end, all the hard work of the next few years was in vain, fortunately, he was still young, and he got the ability because of the blessing of misfortune, otherwise the situation would not be much better than Du Zhonglin, who has now retired.

"Old Du, I also know what you said, and I'm telling the truth. This plum vase is indeed the same as the real one, but just like it is impossible for Guan Gong to fight Qin Qiong, the eight immortals that were determined in the Ming Dynasty must not appear in the works of the Yuan Dynasty, I hope you can understand. ”

And, as I recall, there was actually a prototype of this plum vase, which was first collected by a collector in England and appeared on the cover of the Sotheby's special catalogue in England on July 10, 1951. It was numbered 33 at the time. On April 14, 1980, it was auctioned by Christie's in England and acquired by a famous collector in the Lion City. ”

On November 5, 1996, it was auctioned by Xiangjiang Fubi Company. NUMBER 621. During this period, he published two ......"

Hearing this, Du Zhonglin didn't have any illusions, and sat on the ground with his buttocks. With crying said:

"Why is this happening! I was so sloppy when I bought it. Why didn't I take it seriously! Why! ”

Because he was too excited, the plum bottle in Du Zhonglin's hand was a little shaky. Seeing this, Chu Chen hurriedly stepped forward and took the things in his hands, looking at Du Zhonglin's grief-stricken appearance, he sighed in his heart, what he wanted to say was that this had nothing to do with whether he was serious or not, the most important thing was that Du Zhonglin knew too little, or was not fully prepared.

Such a thing with a market value of hundreds of thousands, judging from Du Zhonglin's watch, will definitely not buy it after reading it, no matter what, I will prepare it, read the relevant information before making a decision. In this process, he could have flipped through the information of the Eight Immortals, and then there would be no today's incident.

Some people may say, isn't it the Eight Immortals that everyone is familiar with, and it makes sense not to look for information.

This point may be feasible in other things, but antique collection can never be like this, the reason is very simple, even "Silent Night Thoughts" such a well-known thought, the Song Dynasty version is "looking at the moonlight before the bed, suspected to be frost on the ground." Look up at the mountains and moons, and look down at your hometown. ”

How can you be sure that the current Eight Immortals and the Eight Immortals of the Yuan Dynasty are the same person?

Therefore, when buying an antique, all the details must be taken into account, and it is often impossible to get along with your own purse.

"No, he will settle the account with me!" Du Zhonglin stood up with a sigh of relief, and said angrily: "It's a shame that I believe him so much, and he actually uses fakes to deceive me, it's really not a thing!" ”

Seeing this, Chu Chen persuaded him to calm down, and said: "Old Du, since he sold you three fakes in a row, he is deliberately trying to deceive you, and it is difficult for you to get the money back if you go over like this." ”

Chu Chen's words reminded Du Zhonglin, and he clapped his hands: "Yes!" Teacher Chu, you're right, I'm going to call the police and sue him for fraud! ”

Chu Chen said: "Old Du, to be honest, it's okay to sue him for fraud, but you must have the corresponding evidence, for example, have you signed an agreement between you?" ”

Du Zhonglin nodded and said, "Sign it, I'll put it in the box, you can see ......"

As he spoke, he took out a note from the bottom of the box where the plum bottle was kept.

Chu Chen took it in his hand and saw that the agreement was very standardized, but when he saw the items traded, he couldn't help but shake his head: "Old Du, what is written on it is the plum vase of the Eight Immortals of Longquan Kiln, and it is not marked what dynasty this artifact is, in this case, it is difficult for you to win the lawsuit." ”

"Ahh Didn't you write it? When Du Zhonglin heard this, he was taken aback, and hurriedly asked Chu Chen to ask for an agreement, and after a closer look, he found that there was indeed no dynasty written on it.

"Why didn't you write it!" Du Zhonglin patted his head fiercely, annoyed that he was too sloppy: "But, when he sold me, he clearly told me that this was from the Yuan Dynasty, even if he didn't write it, could he still regret it?" ”

Chu Chen shook his head and said, "If he insists that he didn't say it at the time, then you can't do anything about him, such an incident happened not long ago." ”

Some time ago, an old customer who was also an antique shop in Chuchen suffered such a loss. A few months ago, he received it from a friend. I bought two things, a pair of bracelets from the Qing Dynasty and Khotanese jade. The other is an inkstone in the Song Dynasty, which cost a total of more than 100,000 yuan.

After buying it back. He took the things to Chu Chen for identification, and the results were all modern imitations, the bracelets were Russian materials, and the inkstones were also very ordinary things that were old in modern times. When he heard this, he was very angry, so he took the things and went to return them, but his former friend refused to do so.

Because he had signed an agreement when he bought it, he was angry. sued the seller to the court, but the agreement also had problems with Du Zhonglin's agreement, and the dynasty was not written, and the final judgment was that the inkstone could not be returned, only the pair of bracelets were returned. The reason why the bracelet can be returned is because the agreement says Khotanese jade, but it is actually Russian.

Some friends may ask, since these two things are modern imitations, then according to the market value. It is not worth a few dollars, but the final judgment still allows the buyer to buy the inkstone, which does not encourage the unhealthy trend and violates the principle of fairness of the contract law. Does it also violate the principle of honesty and trustworthiness in doing business?

To say, if it's something else, then this judgment does seem a bit like mud. However, antique trading is a special commodity transaction, and its particularity is strong in professionalism. The means of trading are diverse, and the trading items lack substitution and comparability. It is difficult to determine a uniform standard of value, so such a judgment is not only in line with the reasonableness of the industry rules, but also reflects the fairness and justice of the agreement.

This is because the sale of antiques embodies the ancient principle of contract law, the buyer's discretion. The so-called "buyer's self-caution" principle means that in the process of concluding a contract, one party should rely on its own knowledge to make a judgment, the other party has no obligation to inform the information about the contract or the subject matter, and the other party shall not be liable for the defects of the subject matter after the contract is concluded, and the only restriction is that fraud and misrepresentation shall not be used.

The theoretical basis of this principle is that each person is the best defender of his or her own rights and interests, and that his or her own interests should be properly taken care of in the course of the transaction, and that in the process of concluding a contract, the parties should make reasonable efforts to understand the circumstances related to the contract based on their own interests, and there is no reason to rely on the other party.

Therefore, to buy valuable antiques, you must sign an agreement carefully, if you buy jewelry, you must have an appraisal certificate issued by a national authority, because now some experts, institutions of the certificate, as long as you spend money can be bought, this should also be very careful.

Hearing this example, Du Zhonglin shook his head again and again and said: "The example you said is still a little different from what I have encountered now, since he bought it when he first bought it, he played a package ticket with me, and it is definitely not okay to regret it now!" ”

Chu Chen said: "You are right, if it is really like what you said, the contract will naturally be invalid." But the point is, was there anyone other than you at the time? If you were the only one, he would deny it, and you wouldn't be able to find any witnesses. ”

Du Zhonglin said: "No, it was only me and him at the time, but he was a liar, and the police should be obliged to help me investigate!" ”

"You can give this a try, and it's best to call the police and prepare for a lawsuit at the same time." Chu Chen gave a Jianyì, but as he said, if the other party vigorously denied it, the hope of returning it was a little slim without anyone else present.

"Okay, Mr. Chu, thank you so much......"

Just as Du Zhonglin was packing up his things there, Chu Chen suddenly thought, would such a high level of imitation of ancient ceramics be related to Cai Jianxuan? It's a pity that only blue and white porcelain and Ming and Qing official kiln porcelain, he can see Cai Jianxuan's style, and he is also a little blind when it is replaced by the utensils of the Longquan kiln in the Yuan Dynasty.

So, he hurriedly asked, "By the way, Du Lao, can I ask you about the seller's information?" ”

Du Zhonglin was stunned when he heard this, he didn't know why Chu Chen wanted to ask this question, but he immediately reacted and said excitedly: "Yes, yes, this kind of person should expose him, his name is ......"

Seeing that Du Zhonglin had misunderstood what he meant, Chu Chen didn't explain much, but when he heard Du Zhonglin describe the person's appearance, he couldn't help but be surprised, he didn't expect that this person was actually the one he met in Han Yu Song Store in Xiazhou, and he was also the weird person who deceived Zhao Xueyi in Jiangcheng. Unexpectedly, it has only been a long time for him to come to the capital.

Thinking that this person might have an inextricable relationship with Cai Jianxuan, Chu Chen was a little excited in his heart, and immediately, he asked, "Old Du, how long have you known him?" ”

Du Zhonglin replied: "Then the time is not short, almost two or three years." Otherwise, I wouldn't have bought such a valuable thing from him, I didn't expect it...... Hey! ”

"Two or three years? Has he always lived in the capital? Chu Chen was very surprised when he heard this, could it be that he recognized the wrong person?

"What's wrong? His home is in the capital, where do you live if you don't live in the capital? ”

Du Zhonglin felt a little strange Chu Chen's reaction, however, he immediately thought of another detail and said:

"Oh, by the way, he's a strange person, and he doesn't usually know what kind of business he does, but he always spends two or three months a year running around the country, and every time he asks him, he just smiles. Now that I think about it, could the business trip he was talking about dealing with these fakes? ”

Hearing this, Chu Chen felt relieved, but he felt strange again, because the capital had never heard of such a person who specialized in selling fakes, could it be that rabbits don't eat the grass next to the nest? Then why did he suddenly set his sights on Du Zhonglin again?

Thinking of this question, Chu Chen asked, "Old Du, since you have known him for so long, why haven't you bought a few more things from him?" ”

"Hey!" Du Zhonglin sighed: "I asked him to buy it before, and he said that his collection is not for sale, and he will not even change it. It wasn't until recently that he said that because there was something wrong in the business and he urgently needed money, he asked me if I was interested, so I bought it, but I didn't expect him to be such a person! ”

In the end, Du Zhonglin was very angry, and he gritted his teeth and hated that person.

Chu Chen listened to what Du Zhonglin said, and wondered in his heart, could this be because their investigation of Cai Jianxuan's gang was too tight, and the gang couldn't ship with confidence, so they set their sights on the rabbit nest?

At this time, Du Zhonglin packed up his things and said goodbye to Chu Chen, but when he walked to the door, he suddenly remembered something and said with a depressed face: "That guy went on a business trip again, and now he can't catch the police even if he reports to the police!" ”

Hearing this, Chu Chen hurriedly said: "Old Du, since this is the case, I think it's best for you to wait for him to come back before reporting the case, otherwise, if he is a thief, he may run away when he hears the news." ”

During this time, Liu Lao Ke put a lot of energy into investigating Cai Jianxuan's gang, in case the other party misunderstood because Du Zhonglin called the police, it was really possible to escape.

"Yes, yes, yes! Don't let this grandson run away! Du Zhonglin nodded again and again, if he really wants to let the other party run away, he may lose all his money, this is not what he wants to see. ……

After that, Du Zhonglin left with a heavy heart, and Chu Chen told Liu Lao the news.

Thinking that more and more clues had been collected now, Chu Chen felt that the time for Cai Jianxuan to be arrested might not be far away. …… (To be continued......)
