Chu Chen smiled slightly and said: "This is not good, the valuation I originally gave was relatively conservative, and if I buy it at this price now, I will be poked in the backbone if it is passed out." ”

Speaking of this, he pondered for a moment and said, "Just three million, what do you think?" ”

The reason why Chu Chen said this price also had his considerations. First, the appraisal he gave at the beginning was indeed not very high, because in terms of Zhao Ji's fame, the transaction price of more than 25 million yuan for the painting at the beginning of the year was still relatively cheap, and the appraisal based on this was indeed relatively conservative.

Of course, then again, no matter how good this woodblock watermark painting is, in the final analysis, it is just a photocopied work, and if the value is low, it can be estimated at one-tenth, but the original work is highly valued, for example, the original work is worth 100 million, then its price is definitely not calculated according to one-tenth of the value.

Therefore, Chu Chen gave a price of three million, which was more in line with his psychological expectations. As for whether this price is expensive or not, it is a matter of opinion to the benevolent and wise, the value of antiques is not so easy to define, anyway, for Chu Chen, he will definitely not lose.

For example, if Chu Chen sells this painting now, plus his fame, not to mention three million, four million people will buy it, and if it is in the name of Liu Lao, it will be even higher. This is still an ordinary occasion, and if it is auctioned, with such a gimmick, the final transaction price is even more difficult to estimate.

Of course, the reason why Chu Chen added so much at once was also because he had a request for Uncle Chen's family, after all, he still had the matter of the courtyard house and wanted to ask them for help. If you finally rely on their help, you can get your wish and bring him benefits. 500,000 may not even reach a fraction. In that case, why should he be reluctant to even give a mouthful of soup?

Hearing the price given by Chu Chen. Uncle Chen's family had a feeling that they were stunned by the money in an instant, and it took a while. Uncle Chen came back to his senses and said with some difficulty: "Teacher Chu, did you give a little too much?" ”

Chu Chen said with a smile: "Uncle, don't worry, since I dare to give it like this, I will definitely not lose it." If you wish, we can sign the agreement right away. ”

"This ......" Uncle Chen looked at his family and found that everyone was looking at him, urging him to agree. He also nodded immediately and said, "Okay, I'll sign it!" ”

Chu Chen had a ready-made agreement in his bag, took it out and filled it out, and signed their respective names. Subsequently, when everyone went to the bank to transfer the account together, Chu Chen said goodbye to Uncle Chen's family.

Chu Chen was just about to walk to the door of the car, when he saw the old lady chasing after him, shouting and chasing him.

"Auntie, is there something wrong?" Chu Chen asked.

"That's what happened."

The old lady said with some embarrassment: "Teacher Chu, my cousin has lung cancer. The doctor said that there was still a month to live at most. ”

At this, the old lady paused, and her face was full of sadness.

When Chu Chen heard this, he said, "Auntie." Birth, old age, sickness and death are natural laws, and your health is not very good, so don't be too sad. ”

The old lady shook her head and sighed: "I also understand the reason." But the point is that my cousin is still young, and it's a shame to leave now. ”

Chu Chen said: "This is also something that can't be helped. Moreover, I am able to treat some incurable diseases. But there is definitely no way to do it for a terminal disease like advanced lung cancer. ”

The old lady immediately said: "Teacher Chu, I don't expect you to cure my cousin, it's just that because the cancer cells have spread, she has begun to have pain in the past two days, and the whole person has lost a lot of weight than before." Therefore, I would like to ask you, is there any way that acupuncture can help her with less pain? ”

Chu Chen thought for a while and said, "According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, this aspect is feasible, but the specific situation, I have to see it in person to know, I don't know when you want me to go?" ”

The old lady said gratefully: "Teacher Chu, I know that you are busy, and I am embarrassed to disturb you all the time." If it's convenient for you, you can go tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. ”

Chu Chen asked again, "Then is she okay today?" ”

The old lady nodded and said, "No problem, at noon today, I called the nurse, and she said that the situation is okay for the time being, and she can still use medication to control it." ”

Chu Chen said: "Okay, when I go back to arrange things, I'll call you again." ”

"Row ......"

After saying goodbye to the old lady, Chu Chen drove back to the museum, and when he came to Yu Renpeng's office, he realized what was going on, it turned out that a friend of his had brought a guest over, saying that she had a pastel landscape figure long-necked bottle from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty that she wanted to sell.

Yu Renpeng thought this thing was a fine product at first, but when he continued to observe, he vaguely felt that there was a problem, but he couldn't see what was wrong, after all, he was good at the identification of bronze and jade, and he only studied porcelain.

So, Yu Renpeng called Chu Chen and asked him to come back quickly.

However, when Chu Chen saw the guest brought by Yu Renpeng's friend, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, because this person was none other than Uncle Wu's enemy, the wife of Ren Shiguo who had an accident some time ago, called Su Chunjiao.

There is an old saying, it's not that a family doesn't enter a family, and Su Chunjiao is no better than Ren Shiguo's virtue. Although Chu Chen has no direct conflict with her, because of his father-in-law, Chu Chen has no good impression of her.

Therefore, when he found out that she was actually going to sell antiques, Chu Chen almost kicked her out, but since it was brought by Yu Renpeng's friend, he had to give the senior brother a face, but it was obviously impossible to ask him to give a good price for a while.

Su Chunjiao also had some impressions of Chu Chen before, especially after Chu Chen became famous, she even scolded vicious words such as the director being blind in front of the TV. At this time, she was even more disgusted with Chu Chen in her heart, and she also wanted to leave immediately.

But now the form is stronger than the person, even if she doesn't want to sell things to Chu Chen in her heart, but because Ren Shiguo is in a hurry to use the money, the things don't have time to wait for the auction. And because of Ren Shiguo's character, she is strict and lacks high-quality channels, so she can only stay hard. Expect to be able to sell things for a good price.

Next, Yu Renpeng made an introduction to the two sides. His friend's name was Yang Qingyue, and this person listened to Yu Renpeng's introduction. At first, I was a little surprised that Chu Chen was actually the owner of this museum, but he reacted immediately, shook hands with Chu Chen with a smile, and said some polite words. Judging from his demeanor, he shouldn't know that Chu Chen and Su Chunjiao have contradictions.

As for Su Chunjiao, she greeted Chu Chen with a stiff smile and kept silent. This made Yu Renpeng and Yang Qingyue feel very strange, since you have something to sell to Chu Chen, not to mention the enthusiasm of the expression. It's always right to be polite, but what are you going to do now?

Chu Chen didn't care what Su Chunjiao's attitude was, he directly said that he wanted to take a look at the pastel landscape figure long-necked vase placed on the table during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, of course everyone had no opinion.

This long-necked vase has a yellow ground pastel painted with entwined floral patterns, bat patterns, and pangut patterns, and a landscape figure pattern painted with pastel on the abdomen. The shin is a variant lotus petal pattern, the foot wall is painted with back lines, and the outer bottom is a turquoise green glazed blue and white book "Qianlong Year of the Qing Dynasty" six-character three-line seal book.

The landscape map painted by this vessel is sparse and decently decent. The layers are clear, the scenery is scattered, quite orderly, and the brushstrokes are natural and flexible. The rendering is rubbing, like a highly appealing Chinese ink landscape painting, with unique artistic charm. It shows the skilled painters and artistic accomplishments of the painters.

In that sense, it's a truly remarkable work of art. Note that this is just a work of art. Because with Chu Chen's current experience, when he saw this artifact, he knew that it was a high-imitation fake, because its surface was made of slurry.

Chu Chen put the bottle back in its place, shook his head, and said, "I'm sorry, we don't have a need for this thing for the time being." ”

A boutique antique like this, if it is genuine, there will definitely not be a time when there is "no demand", therefore, the meaning of Chu Chen's words is self-evident, which made Yang Qingyue and Su Chunjiao very surprised for a while.

After Su Chunjiao was surprised, she immediately showed a very angry expression, and scolded: "Chu Chen, it turns out that you are also such a shameless villain!" What kind of expert is it, I think you are simply a goat-headed dog meat seller! ”

Yu Renpeng and Yang Qingyue were very surprised that Su Chunjiao had such a reaction, and then remembered Su Chunjiao's attitude towards Chu Chen just now, could there really be any contradiction between the two?

For Yang Qingyue, no matter what contradictions the two have, since Su Chunjiao was brought by him, his face was dull when he said such impolite words, so he immediately frowned and said, "Sister Su, don't talk nonsense!" ”

Su Chunjiao roared loudly: "What nonsense! What I'm saying is the truth, isn't it that there is a conflict between my family and his father-in-law? It's actually because of this, he said things that reversed black and white, does he have any professional ethics when he does this, and does he have the bottom line of being a man? ”

Chu Chen would not feel strange what kind of words he said to Su Chunjiao, but since the other party said that he had no professional ethics, he didn't say a word for himself, and it was really possible to be misunderstood by people who didn't know the truth, he sneered and said, "Ms. Su, may I ask why I reversed black and white?" ”

Su Chunjiao laughed, then took out a copy of the text from her handbag, slammed it on the table, and said coldly: "This is the text issued by the National Scientific Appraisal Center, you open your eyes and see what is written on it!" ”

Chu Chen picked up the text and looked at it, only to see a line written in the conclusion above, which roughly means that after spectral analysis, the chemical composition of the surface of the porcelain sent for inspection is more in line with the chemical composition of the porcelain of the official kiln in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.

Su Chunjiao sneered: "How is it, is my text real?" ”

"It's true." Chu Chen smiled.

Su Chunjiao said sarcastically: "Experts are experts, and they can still laugh at this time." ”

Chu Chen smiled: "What can't I laugh at?" Do you really think that such a text can be used as evidence to determine the authenticity? I don't think you asked your family before you did this test, otherwise with his character, how could he let you spend money in vain? ”

In fact, as Chu Chen said, it was indeed Su Chunjiao's own decision to do the test, not to say, she didn't know that scientific appraisal can sometimes only be used as an auxiliary basis, but she felt that since it was a testing document issued by the state, it could also have a certain value-added effect on the price of porcelain.

Of course, the most important thing is that because of her interests, she usually doesn't know much about the antique industry, and of course she won't know such a doorway.

Su Chunjiao listened to Chu Chen's words, and she was a little lacking in confidence, she said with some lust: "If you say it's useless, it's useless!" Can you still overturn the document issued by the state authority with one sentence? ”

Chu Chen felt a little innocent: "When did I overturn this article?" If you talk so nonsense again, be careful that I sue you for slander! ”

Su Chunjiao pointed at Chu Chen and scolded: "Just now you said that Wen Jiàn can't be used as evidence to identify authenticity, and now you actually say so, you are so shameless!" ”

"Wen Jiàn is right, what does it have to do with whether or not he can do evidence?"

Speaking of this, Chu Chen was not ready to say more to this kind of person, and explained directly: "First of all, as long as it is porcelain, most of its chemical composition is the same. Secondly, the first step of the current counterfeiters is to carry out a chemical analysis of the porcelain, and then establish the chemical composition of the imitation. ”

"In the end, they were able to go to the official kiln site to obtain the materials, and then use the process at that time to fire, of course, the chemical composition is the same. How much do you think it can help in this case? ”

Su Chunjiao opened her mouth and wanted to refute Chu Chen, but it was obvious that Chu Chen was very reasonable, and in terms of aspect, she was sure that she couldn't find a reason to refute.

"Then even if Wen Jiàn can't prove the authenticity of the thing, but this thing has been identified by many experts, and you can overturn the conclusions of so many people with one sentence?"

Seeing that Su Chunjiao moved out of the expert again, but with Ren Shiguo's reputation, it is unlikely that many well-known experts in the capital will do an appraisal for him.

So, Chu Chenpi asked with a smile: "Since you say so, can you report the names of these experts?" ”

Seeing that Su Chunjiao couldn't answer why, he sneered and said, "I can't say it!" Sue you, first of all, the slurry of this thing is wrong, it is made of slurry. ”

"It turned out to be slurry?" Yu Renpeng's expression was a little abrupt, no wonder he didn't see the specific problem, it turned out that he used to use the now more advanced counterfeiting method of slurry. As for Yang Qingyue, because she had never heard of this old method, she was more curious.

"Yes." Chu Chen nodded, and then briefly introduced the slurry and the method of identifying the porcelain that has been aged by the slurry. (To be continued......)
