Chapter 87: 200 vs. 3 million
Gao Shun knew that this was his father and wanted to really understand Liu Chen.
He nodded in agreement.
Liu Chen and the three of them finished eating first, Liu Chen came over and said hello to the three of them, and left first.
When he came to the door of the hotel, Liu Chen shook hands with Jason and said, "Jason, where do you stay, we will take a taxi to see you off." ”
"Oh, my friend, don't bother, I actually just arrived today, and I haven't booked a hotel yet, so I'll stay here." Jason said with a smile.
"That's very good."
Liu Chen agreed to take him to the front desk and opened a room, and the room fee was counted with Liu Chen.
Jason is a standard tech nerd, and after he cleaned up his room, he came to Liu Chen's room and began to discuss the upgrade of the equipment with Liu Chen.
In terms of familiarity with this device, Liu Chen, who was reborn, is far more aware than the current Jason.
In Liu Chen's memory in his previous life, this device is not upgraded almost once a year like other well-known brand equipment, and most of the upgrades are some almost useless chicken rib functions, this device has only had three major upgrades, five small upgrades, but each upgrade, will bring subversive changes.
Most of the whole chat was narrated by Jason, and Liu Chen only occasionally offered a little advice.
But every suggestion made Jason suddenly, Jason's admiration for Liu Chen was more than words, and he even came up with the idea of staying in Huaxia Kingdom and following Liu Chen.
"Liu, I want to stay in the Great Han Kingdom and follow you, is it okay?" Jason said heartily.
Liu Chen said: "As long as you want, of course you can, but I'm afraid I don't have a suitable position for you here for the time being." ”
Jason waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, I'm not going to join your company, I just want to stay with you, I'll continue to work on this device, and in your spare time, the two of us can talk more about the device." ”
"That's no problem, if there is a place where you need help with the formalities then, you can call me at any time."
Liu Chen said as he took out a business card and handed it to Jason.
As soon as he handed over the business card, Gao Shun called Liu Chen.
"Hey, Mayor Gao, what's your instructions?"
"Liu Chen, you didn't arrange it for the night, did you?"
"Not yet, what's wrong?"
"Well, at noon, the old man asked me to invite you to come to the house for dinner in the evening on his behalf."
Elder Gao actually invited himself to his house for dinner, an honor that ordinary people could get.
You must know that Gao Lao has been clean and bright all his life, even if he retreats, many people want to go through the back door through his trust, but they are also rejected by him.
Now that he took the initiative to invite Liu Chen to eat at home, how could Liu Chen refuse.
"Okay, first of all, please ask Mayor Gao to thank the old man for me, I will definitely arrive in the evening."
"Okay, at 6 p.m., I'll pick you up in my car."
Liu Chen agreed and hung up the phone.
Jason was still sitting here looking at Liu Chen, wanting to continue chatting.
But Liu Chen looked at the time and said to Jason: "Jason, I'm very sorry, I have something to go out temporarily, you can go back and rest first." ”
"Oh no, I'll wait for you here, and we'll continue to talk when you come back." Jason said.
Liu Chen was completely helpless by his technical nerd character, he forcibly kept smiling, and persuaded him: "Jason, I may not be able to come back until late, do you think this is okay, you go back to the room first, I will call your room when I come back, you can come down then, or I can go up to find you." ”
Jason thought for a moment, then stood up and said, "Okay, no matter how late it is, you have to call me." ”
"Okay, I'll call you." Liu Chen kept promising and went out of the room with him.
Leaving the hotel, Liu Chen took a taxi to the Quandu Cultural Market Antique City.
I'm going to visit Old Man Gao at night, and he can't go empty-handed.
In his memory, Mr. Gao prefers calligraphy and painting, in the previous life, and then the Gao family suffered an unprecedented catastrophe, in order to tide over the difficulties, Mr. Gao took out his collection of calligraphy and paintings for auction, but was taken by someone to talk about things, saying that Mr. Gao These calligraphy and paintings are obtained by him for many years of bribery, after Mr. Gao heard about it, he rushed into the auction on the spot, and tore up all the calligraphy and paintings on the spot, and he also fell at the auction site and passed away.
Of course, in the previous life, he had no intersection with Old Man Gao.
All that is known is also from the news.
And since he has this opportunity in this life, he also wants to see it for himself, if Old Man Gao and the Gao family are really as clear and flawless as the legend says, he doesn't mind helping out.
got off the bus under the archway of the antique city, Liu Chen paid the fare and walked in.
There are three streets in the antique city.
The first two streets are full of high-end antique shops, and the third street is wider than the first two, but all of them are stalls.
Liu Chen didn't stop at all in the first two streets, and came directly to the third street.
It was four o'clock in the afternoon, and it was also the time when the traffic in the antique city was the largest.
Many people who want to pick up the leaks come to the third street to shop, as for the first two streets, they are frequented by some big players, in fact, anyone with a discerning eye knows that those antique shops are almost all fakes.
"Hey, little brother, let's see if you like it, this is the blue and white porcelain of the former Ming Dynasty."
"Ming Taizu Jade is wishful, an absolute treasure."
"Come, come, I can tell the eldest brother, this is Wang Xizhi's real handiwork, no fake, fake one pays ten."
"I said do you understand, Tang Bohu's true works are owned by my family, you see, this is the hidden poem of 'I am Qiuxiang'."
……
Hearing these words, Liu Chen couldn't hold back his laughter.
He walked straight to the middle stall, which was filled with calligraphy and paintings of celebrities.
A young man in his 30s guarded the stall, his mouth was like a river, and he kept introducing the fakes that were more like the real thing than the real thing.
"This is Qianlong's true handiwork, look at it, Qianlong's words are majestic, full of dragon energy, let me tell you, you take this character back and hang it in the study, so that you can also get the breath of the king of God."
"Do you say this? This is Yue Shuai's real work "Man Jianghong", don't believe it in the movie, the movie said that Yue Shuai wrote "Man Jianghong" on the wall of the prison, in fact, before this, he had already written it at home once, this is the one he wrote at home back then. ”
"This, this 50,000, Wei Xiaobao wrote a letter of guarantee to his seven wives."
……
Liu Chen couldn't hold back a smile and rummaged through the pile of calligraphy and paintings.
"Hey, hey, buy it or not, don't move if you don't buy it, these are priceless treasures, I can tell you, you can't afford to pay for one of them." The boss blocked Liu Chen's hand.
Liu Chen said: "Of course buy it, let it go, I'll find it myself." ”
"There are too many calligraphy and paintings here, too messy, even more chaotic than Wuhu Chaohua, you can't find it, what do you want, you say, I'll help you find it."
At this moment, Liu Chen picked up a scroll and said, "That's it, I want it." ”
The boss took it and opened it, only to see that the scroll was blank.
The boss's eyes panicked instantly, and the expression on his face became embarrassed, and he said, "This, this, I'm sorry, I took it wrong, this is the scroll I usually practice calligraphy, and I accidentally put it on." ”
"No, I want it." Liu Chen said firmly.
The boss rolled his eyes, picked up the scroll and looked at it carefully for more than a minute, but he didn't see anything special, and asked again, "Are you sure you want this?" ”
"What nonsense, make an offer."
"Hmm...... 200,000! The boss gritted his teeth and held out two fingers.
Although the boss couldn't see anything special about this blank scroll, Liu Chen came up and rushed to it, indicating that this scroll was very important to Liu Chen, not to mention whether it was an antique or not, he was rushing at Liu Chen to buy it, and he was going to shout higher.
Liu Chen counteroffered: "200." ”
Syllable!
The boss threw the scroll at the stall, waved his hand at Liu Chen, and said, "Get out, get out, get out, get out, get out, get out!" ”
Liu Chen smiled, picked up a scroll casually, opened it, and introduced: "You can see clearly, this is not Qianlong's genuine work at all, even if it is copied, it is very poorly copied, such a fake, 10 yuan a piece is too expensive." ”
"And this painting, everyone smells carefully, it smells of inferior ink, which is printed by a printer and mass-produced."
"This one is said to be the authentic work of Tang Bohu, everyone can see clearly, Tang Bohu's seal has always been 'Tang Yin', and he has never used the word Tang Bohu as a seal."
Syllable!
Liu Chen dropped the scroll, glared at the boss and asked, "What's the matter, do you want me to talk about it?" ”
The boss gritted his teeth in anger, grabbed the blank scroll and threw it to him, "It's unlucky, take it." ”
Liu Chen took it and opened it again to take a look, made sure it was correct, took out 200 yuan and threw it on the stall, and turned to leave.
He had barely taken two steps when an old man's voice came from behind.
"Wait a minute, gentleman."
Liu Chen stood and looked back, only to see an old man in his 70s, wearing a navy blue Tang costume and gold-rimmed glasses, walking towards him.
The old man pointed to the scroll in Liu Chen's hand and asked, "I don't know if this gentleman can sell me this scroll, and I will pay 3 million." ”
