The staff said truthfully: "The car is available, but it has been booked by others, and it is estimated that I will come to pick up the car in the next two days." ”

Wu Ke didn't want to trouble others, so he said, "Otherwise, just wait for a while." ”

"Don't wait, let's go over and have a look together, if you don't like the color, you tell me, I'll go somewhere else to adjust it, and make sure I can get the car today."

As soon as Wu Ke's words fell, the three of them heard someone interjecting behind them, and when they looked back, it was Duan Xuefeng with a smile on his face.

"Brother Duan (Mr. Duan) ......"

After everyone said hello, Duan Xuefeng said with a smile: "I said Brother Chu, why don't you notify me when you come." ”

Chu Chen smiled: "We're just here to buy a car, why bother you?" ”

Duan Xuefeng smiled: "You, what else is polite to me, let's go, let's go and see the car first, and then talk about ......"

After speaking, he took Chu Chen and Wu Ke to the warehouse at the back.

There are two Beetles in the warehouse, one is volcanic red, and the other is sunflower yellow, both colors, Wu Ke likes them a lot, and finally compared them, she still chose sunflower yellow.

asked the staff to help with the formalities, while Duan Xuefeng took Chu Chen and them to his office to rest for a while.

Chu Chen took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Brother Duan, thank you so much today, but the person who originally ordered it won't have any opinions, right?" ”

Duan Xuefeng waved his hand: "What's so polite about this, and the one I booked before is my friend, I'll just say hello to him, besides." I'll get one from someone else, too, and he'll just have to wait two more days. ”

Chu Chen smiled and expressed his gratitude. Don't delay the original one for too long for your own reasons. Otherwise, he was somewhat embarrassed.

While the three of them were talking, they saw a fat man walk in from outside the door, this person looked like he was thirty or forty years old, but the fat man generally looked younger, and his actual age might be older. This person has a round belly, and it looks like he is pregnant for ten months, which is quite spectacular.

As soon as the fat man walked in, he greeted Duan Xuefeng with a smile, and then asked, "Mr. Duan." Have you booked my car? ”

"This ...... Uh-huh! Here's how it ......" Duan Xuefeng was also a little surprised by the arrival of the fat man, and he looked a little embarrassed when he spoke.

Seeing this, the fat man said with some displeasure: "Mr. Duan, you haven't ordered with me yet, have you?" I said, why are you so grinding! ”

Duan Xuefeng said with a smile: "Can I not care about your business?" But I ordered it to ......."

Hearing this, the fat man asked a little eagerly, "Ah! Did you order it? ”

Duan Xuefeng said angrily: "I said, can you let me finish speaking!" ”

The fat man smiled and said, "You say, you say!" ”

"You don't know when you'll be able to get rid of the monkey urgency."

Duan Xuefeng shook his head with a smile, then stood up and introduced, "Old Xiang." Let me introduce you first, this is ......"

However, before Duan Xuefeng could finish speaking, the fat man spoke out again with a surprised face: "Huh! Aren't you the expert who went to Beijing TV? It's called Chu ...... Clear...... Chu Chen came. Right? ”

"Yes, I am Chu Chen......" Chu Chen smiled and shook his hand, judging from Duan Xuefeng's expression just now. This person is likely to be the one who ordered the Beetle that Wu Xuan.

When the fat man heard this, it was as if he had seen his favorite star. Table Xiàn was quite excited and excited: "It's really Teacher Chu!" I've admired your name for a long time, but I didn't expect you to look a little younger than you look on TV......"

See the fat man like this. Duan Xuefeng said speechlessly: "I said Lao Xiang, you don't have to be so exaggerated, right?" ”

The fat man said disdainfully: "You don't like antiques, how would you know the status of Teacher Chu in the minds of our people." ”

Duan Xuefeng smiled and said, "Who said I don't like antiques, I'm just not like you, I keep giving money to others." ”

The fat man flatly denied: "What to send money, I call it good to study!" ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly put a bag in his hand on the table, and then took out a rectangular brocade box from it, and said with some pride: "I tell you, yesterday I bought a piece of Emperor Qianlong's time, the white jade carving dragon five bats Zhaoqing Ruyi, that material...... The carver...... Gee! ”

"Really?" Duan Xuefeng looked skeptical.

"How can this be fake? I sue you that this wishful can have the ...... of the appraisal certificate of the national authority."

As he spoke, the fat man took out the test certificate from the bag with a bright red seal and a clear photo to show Duan Xuefeng. The certificate is indeed genuine, there is no doubt about it.

Duan Xuefeng looked at it for a while, and then said: "Yo, it's still a real certificate, it seems that this jade Ruyi, you spent a lot of money, right?" ”

The fat man said a little proudly: "It's not expensive, it's only one and a half million." ”

Duan Xuefeng also had some understanding of the price of jade, and after listening to the price, he said: "The price is indeed not expensive, but there are many people who want such a wish, why should people sell it to you cheaply?" ”

The fat man smiled and said: "The master's family is going to emigrate, and this thing can't be taken out, so I bargained a little, and the other party agreed." ”

Duan Xuefeng looked incredulous: "Hey! A little bit of bargaining......"

"Believe it or not, it's in my hands anyway."

The fat man grinned, then opened the box and asked Chu Chen to take a look.

Chu Chen took Ruyi in his hand, took a closer look, and found that this Ruyi jade was of good quality, polished very well, and the carving was high relief, although it was all handmade, but it was completely unable to reach the level of Yuzhou of the palace office in the Qianlong period. Moreover, the jade quality is not as dense as Hetian jade, and the charm is also different, he thinks that this should not be Khotanese jade, Qinghai jade is more likely.

After waiting for a while, the fat man couldn't wait to ask, "Teacher Chu, is my jade Ruyi okay?" ”

Chu Chen said euphemistically: "The quality of this Ruyi jade is good, and the carving is also okay." ”

The fat man was quite happy at first, but he reacted immediately. If something was right, it would be impossible for Chu Chen to say words like "good" and "okay".

Come to think of it. The fat man was a little anxious and asked, "Teacher Chu." Is there something wrong with me? ”

When he asked this, his voice trembled a little.

Now that the words have been said here, Chu Chen said truthfully: "Your jade Ruyi will definitely not be in the generation, and the jade quality is not Khotanese jade, it is likely to be Qinghai jade." ”

The fat man was dumbfounded and said, "This is not right, is my certificate fake?" ”

Chu Chen shook his head and said, "The certificate is not fake, but this piece of jade is indeed not from Khotan." ”

The fat man was dumbfounded: "Can the country's testing agency still be fake?" ”

Chu Chen replied: "Of course this is impossible. ”

"Then in that case, why did the testing agency identify it as Khotanese jade?" Hearing this, don't say it's fat. Even Duan Xuefeng was a little confused.

Chu Chen said: "Let me ask a question first, the apples planted in the capital are apples, and the apples planted in Shanghai are not apples, will you say that they are not apples?" ”

Duan Xuefeng and the fat man shook their heads and said no.

Chu Chen continued: "In the same way, whether it is Khotanese jade or Qinghai jade, they all belong to the same vein, the Kunlun Mountain vein. So, these two different origins of jade. In the eyes of natural scientists, they are no different, they are all tremolite as the main content, and the hardness is between 5.5 and 6.4."

"Molecular structure, specific gravity, transparency, refractive index, etc. It is also the same, which is fully in line with the ore vein detection index of Hetian jade. Under the test according to the standard, there is only one conclusion: it is Hetian jade. There's absolutely nothing wrong with them issuing certificates. Absolutely legal, start a lawsuit. It must be you, not them, who loses. ”

"This ......"

listened to Chu Chen's explanation. The fat man was stunned, and after half a sound, he held back a sentence: "Isn't this deceiving people under the banner of science?" ”

Chu Chen said: "This is not a lie, it's just that you don't understand the difference between social science and natural science!" This collection is obviously within the scope of social science, but you want to pull it into the category of natural science, and try to use the laws of social science to adapt to the laws of natural science. ”

Therefore, in the identification of antiques, scientific identification is sometimes useful, but it should not be blindly biased, otherwise, why do you still go to those experts for identification? Wouldn't it be okay to spend 100 yuan and use the instrument to do an appraisal! ”

After listening to Chu Chen's words, the fat man was speechless, and finally shook his head and sighed: "Gotcha!" It's an eye-catcher again! ”

Duan Xuefeng patted the fat man on the shoulder and said, "Old Xiang, I see that you really don't have any talent in collecting, think about it, how much money have you spent in this area during this time?" I see, you should not buy it from now on. ”

The fat man was silent for a while, and said with a wry smile: "Everyone says that you have to pay tuition fees for collecting, can't you not pay it?" ”

Chu Chen said: "Actually, this is the same as the reason that you have to pay tuition fees for any school and take risks to run any business. Therefore, it is impossible to ...... to engage in collection without paying tuition."

All collectors have paid tuition fees, bought fakes, or bought something that is not collectible, such as a fake. A collector is definitely not born with knowledge, and the accumulation of his collecting knowledge is a gradual process, and in this gradual process, he may have successful experiences and definitely lessons from failures.

Constantly summing up experience and lessons is a process of continuous maturity of a collector. Constantly summing up experience and lessons, constantly maturing, and finally becoming everyone, this is the growth trajectory of all great collectors, or the law of growth.

If a self-proclaimed collector tells you that everything he collects is genuine, he has never bought a fake. You can still trust the first sentence, because the collector can break up all the fakes he buys and throw them away. But in the second sentence, this person must be bragging.

Collectors who have never bought a fake do not dare to say that they will never have one, but at least not yet.

If you want to be friends with a collector who claims to have never bought a fake, you have to be careful, because it is likely that none of his collection is genuine, or that there are many fakes in his collection, but he still keeps them in the dark and treats them as treasures.

On the other hand, if a collector sues you that he has been collecting for many years, but he has not grown much, and is still paying tuition fees to buy fakes. Then, it is very likely that he has a collection of genuine and fine products in his home, and even if he is not a successful collector, at least he is quite mature in terms of collecting.

A collector like this is definitely a friend and teacher you can trust, and if you communicate with this kind of person regularly, you can definitely learn a lot of useful knowledge from him.

Therefore, in real life, the average expert is an older person, and there must be no young expert like Chu Chen. And if it weren't for the fact that he had a five-year career as a hawker, in which he had bought countless fakes and had been hit countless times, otherwise with his current miraculous appearance, some people would definitely feel suspicious.

Chu Chen continued: "For identification, no one can guarantee that they are 100% correct. Like the two contemporary calligraphy and painting appraisal experts in our country, Xie Lao and Xu Lao, the two fought a pen and ink lawsuit a few years ago for the appraisal of a painting, one said it was true, and the other said it was imitation, which caused a lot of uproar across the country. ”

"Who is right and who is wrong, we don't have to discuss it here, but between right and wrong, there must be one who is wrong. If an authority like this goes wrong, it has to pay tuition, let alone an ordinary collector? ”

Hearing Chu Chen's words, the fat man and Duan Xuefeng both felt deeply, and the fat man sighed and said, "Hey! That's still to pay the tuition and study honestly! ”

Duan Xuefeng hit the fat man again and said, "Come on, you are not paying tuition, but giving them money!" ”

The fat man said angrily when he heard this: "Why do you say it so ugly, I'm willing to pay a lot of tuition, do you care?" ”

Duan Xuefeng smiled and said, "Gotta get it!" Anyway, you're a big boss, and losing tens or millions of dollars is a complete drizzle for you. ”

The fat man said angrily: "Fart drizzle, you don't know how much my heart hurts now, it really hurts me!" No, I've got to settle accounts with that guy, MD, if you don't pay me back, I won't be able to get out of the country! ”

Duan Xuefeng grinned and said, "I remember that there is no return in the antique industry." ”

"I'm going to retreat, he dares not to retreat!" The fat man's two eyebrows were raised, but with his fat face, how to look at it, how to think it was funny.

"Whatever you want." Duan Xuefeng spread his hands and asked again, "By the way, where did you buy this Ruyi?" ”

The fat man gritted his teeth and said, "Lao Chang! This guy only sold me two genuine goods, and the third one actually gave me this trick, I want him to look good! ”

Chu Chen was stunned when he heard this, he was still related to this old man, he actually heard his name for two days in a row, and it was all related to fakes...... (To be continued......)
