Chapter 3: National Treasure Class
Holding his chin and looking at the starry sky outside, Chen Chen didn't know what he was thinking.
"What should I do?" Chen Chen was stunned, bit his lip, and the scene he saw today came to his mind......
Chen Chen shook his head and closed his eyes, he didn't want to think about it for the time being, he just wanted to rest.
The car stopped, and it was time to get to the terminal.
Chen Chen wiped his eyes and walked out of the car with the suitcase. Hailed a taxi and went straight to the biggest antiques store in the city. I got out of the car and looked up at the plaque on it, "Longbei Antiques".
"Excuse me, sir, what do you need?" A girl in uniform asked when she saw Chen Chen.
"Sell antiques, call your manager out." Chen Chen said.
"I'm sorry, sir, our manager is not here, why don't you come with me and appraise the value of the antique first?" The girl at the front desk smiled apologetically.
Chen Chen nodded, "Let's go." ”
"Please follow me." She led Chen Chen inside, and knocked on a door.
"Come in." There was a voice in the room.
As she opened the door, she walked in with Chen Chen.
Inside the room, a young man with glasses was looking carefully at the antiques on the table.
"Mr. Cheng, this gentleman is here to sell antiques." After she finished speaking, she nodded at Chen Chen and turned to leave.
"Take your stuff out and take a look." He didn't look up, still carefully observing his antique. Chen Chen glanced at him, opened the box, took out the five-clawed golden dragon bottle, and put it on the table.
He glanced up, and then the whole person was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly walked over and began to observe carefully, and muttered in his mouth, "This!" It can't be true, can it? ”
Chen Chen sat on the sofa next to him, waiting quietly. After looking at it for a while, he raised his head slightly and glanced at Chen Chen, who nodded.
He looked down again, and took out his magnifying glass, his brow furrowed. After a while, he seemed to mumble something, and took out his mobile phone and dialed a call. "Uncle Ming, hurry up and come to Longbei, I found an antique here that seems to be from the Tang Dynasty, but there are some strange words on the mouth of the bottle, I don't know how to judge."
"What? Tang dynasty? I'll be right over! After a shocked voice came from the phone, he hung up immediately.
"Hello, Cheng Bu, an appraiser of Longbei antiques." He held out his hand and introduced himself.
"Hello, my name is Chen Chen." Chen Chen stretched out his hand and shook it with him.
"I don't know where Mr. Chen's antique came from? Of course, I didn't mean that, so if it's inconvenient to disclose, forget it. Cheng Bu said.
Hearing this, Chen Chen smiled slightly, "It's okay, this antique was found in the basement of my hometown, it was covered in mud at the time, and there was a shell that seemed to be like mud on the outside, I was about to throw him away, but I didn't expect the shell to be broken, so I washed it with water, and when I saw the pattern on it, I realized that it seemed to be an antique and hurriedly took a car into the city." ”
After listening to Chen Chen's narration, Cheng Bu spoke: "Fortunately, you didn't throw it, according to my preliminary inference, this should be an antique from the Tang Dynasty." If it's not fake, then the value of this bottle is incredible. ”
Chen Chen smiled and didn't answer. Cheng Bu didn't say anything more, but continued to observe the five-clawed golden dragon bottle.
After a while.
"Bang!" As soon as the door was pushed open, two old men hurriedly walked in, and one of the old men shouted directly: "Cheng Bu! Where is the stuff you are talking about! ”
"Here, Uncle Ming." Cheng Bu shouted back.
The two old men hurriedly trotted over, "You dodge for me!" The old man named Uncle Ming pulled out Cheng Bu, and the other old man immediately concentrated on observing the five-clawed golden dragon bottle.
Chen Chen looked at it a little dumbfounded. Cheng Bu smiled bitterly and whispered to Chen Chen: "Uncle Ming is like this, when he sees this kind of treasure, he looks like he can't wait to go in and study it thoroughly." ”
"Let me introduce you! This is the chief appraiser of Longbei antiques, Cheng Ming, is my uncle. This is my uncle's best friend, Ren Helin. He is also very good at antiques. Cheng Bu explained to Chen Chen on the side.
"Oh." Chen Chen nodded, already thinking about how much this five-clawed golden dragon bottle was worth.
"Old man, look at the text on this, it seems to be ancient Indian script?"
"That's right! That's right! I think I already know what kind of bottle this is! ”
"This! This is a national treasure! ”
The two old men were discussing while observing, and the voice was so loud that Chen Chen and Cheng Bu heard it.
Chen Chen was already smiling in his heart, and he could already imagine how much wealth this bottle would bring to him.
"Are you the owner of this bottle? Name? Cheng Ming raised his head, looked at Chen Chen and asked.
"Yes. Don't have your surname Chen. "Chen Chen is neither humble nor arrogant.
"Little Brother Chen, this thing of yours is amazing, it is the Tang Dynasty, it should be the royal porcelain of the Tang Taizong era, and it is relatively well preserved, and the value is at least hundreds of millions." Cheng Ming sighed.
Hearing this, Chen Chen was stunned for a moment, and his heart was already ecstatic.
Ren Helin, who was next to him, suddenly said, "Young man, where did you get this cultural relic?" ”
The corners of Chen Chen's mouth hooked, and he found it in the basement of his home.
At this time, Cheng Bu on the side hurriedly explained, repeating what Chen Chen had told him just now. Ren Helin stared at Chen Chen's gaze, and then relaxed.
If the origin of this five-clawed golden dragon bottle is not proper, it may be that the entire Longbei antique will be implicated, after all, this is already a national treasure-level cultural relic.
"Young man, I can tell you unequivocally that this porcelain of yours is not an ordinary porcelain, it is already a national treasure, and it has great research value. Do you have the intention to donate to the country? Ren and Lin said.
Hearing this, Chen Chen smiled, and his face turned a little colder, "I'm sorry, I have no intention of donating it to the country." Saying that, he looked at Cheng Bu, and then said, "Since you Longbei Antiques have no intention of taking over, then I will leave first." After saying that, he planned to put the five-clawed golden dragon bottle into the box and leave.
"Little Brother Chen, this old guy didn't mean that. The main thing is that this antique of yours is amazing! In this case, we Longbei Antiques took over. But at the moment we don't have that much liquidity. Cheng Ming continued, "In two weeks, there will be a grand auction in the province, and this thing will be auctioned at that time." What do you think of this? ”
"Yes, yes." Chen Chen pondered for a while and said, "It's just that I need money urgently at the moment." ”
"That's no problem! Cheng Bu! Immediately transfer five million to Little Brother Chen. With that, Cheng Ming looked at Chen Chen and asked, "Is it enough?" ”
"That's enough." Chen Chen said. He had never seen so much money in his life. My heart has already begun to get excited.
"That's fine." Cheng Ming turned his head to Cheng Bu and said, "You first receive Little Brother Chen here, and your Uncle Ren and I will contact the auction now." ”
"Hmm." Cheng Bu agreed.
