Chapter 1017 Meet an acquaintance again
Hearing this, Lao Wu jokingly said: "I said, Lao Zheng, you won't be too black-hearted. The price you offered is too low, so others won't agree to it, right?"

"Am I that kind of person?"

Zheng Qiuda glared at Lao Wu, and said: "I have always liked Zhang Zhao's calligraphy. I have collected a few ordinary works, and I have always wanted to collect one or two unique works, but either the price is too expensive, or someone else's Not for sale. It’s hard to come across a small-sized boutique now, how can you say I’m not sincere?”

"At that time, the price I gave was a little higher than the market price, but the other party still refused. What can I do? I can't raise the price too much, right? Speaking of which, if it weren't for yesterday's receipt of the goods, I would have Arrangements are made, and this incident happened again today, I have come here to ask Xiao Chu for help."

Zhu Dafu heard the words and said: "Then I think the other party may not want to sell, so they said so on purpose."

Zheng Qiuda sighed: "Whether they want to sell it or not, it's hard to come across a suitable thing now, I have to work hard, so I want to ask Xiaochen for a favor, otherwise I won't be reconciled."

Zhang Zhao was a Ci minister in the early Qing Dynasty. He lived through the three dynasties of Kang, Yong, and Qian.He learned calligraphy from Dong Qichang for the first time, and later took Yan and rice as his home. The critics said: "The sky is open, the spirit is pure and thick. It is magnificent and contemporary."

Zhang Zhao was highly praised by the emperors of Kang, Yong and Qian. Of course, his calligraphy skills are beyond doubt. His works are frequent visitors at auctions and are also very popular in the market.

Zhang Zhao's calligraphy works are widely circulated, but since they are unique masterpieces, the number will definitely not be many.Therefore, for Zheng Qiuda, who is determined to collect one or two high-quality goods, and his net worth is not too rich, if he finds a work that suits him, he must try his best to get it into his pocket.

He had originally thought that if the other party still disagreed with Chu Chen, he planned to pay the other party a deposit, so that the master would notify him immediately when he planned to make a move.

If everyone knows that Zheng Qiuda has such a plan, they will definitely persuade him to give up. The reason is very simple. If it were you, someone would do everything possible to buy an antique from you, and they would not hesitate to pre-order it for this reason. Do you think you will sell it?
Obviously, when many people encounter this kind of thing, the first thought must be that there are rare goods to live in. Even if they want to sell them, the price will be greatly increased. In addition, there is also a great possibility that they will store the things and sell them later. Maximize your profits.

Closer to home, Chu Chen heard that this was the case, and said: "Old Zheng, of course it's okay to go, but if the other party disagrees with my point of view, then I can't help it. Besides, I am in charge of appraising porcelain at the TV station. I Will the other party agree with the result given?"

"That's for sure. If you, an expert at the Beijing TV station, are not good enough, then I'm at a loss for the time being. As for which category you specialize in, ordinary people don't care about it. They just need to know that you are an expert. "Zheng Qiuda waved his hand and said with a smile that it doesn't matter.

Seeing what Zheng Qiuda said, Chu Chen stopped talking.

Afterwards, the two parties agreed on a time and place, and Zheng Qiuda left in a hurry.

Uncle Wu shook his head and said, "Xiao Zheng is short-tempered. Doesn't he know that the more he is like this, the more he doesn't want to sell?"

Zhou Wenping said: "He has such a temper. He usually has a clear head in business, but when he encounters something he cares about, he doesn't care about it."

Zhu Dafu said: "Xiao Chen, remember to remind him tomorrow, lest he regret it, but if he doesn't listen, then leave him alone."

Chu Chen nodded: "Okay, I will remind him..."

…………

The next day, Chu Chen set off for the place that Zheng Qiuda told him yesterday. Halfway, he received a call from Wang Ruyang, asking him politely if he could go to the exchange meeting that day.

He told Wang Ruyang that it was okay, but because he had a lot of things to do, it might happen if something happened suddenly that day, so he didn't say he would die, and said that if he couldn't participate, he would arrange for someone else to go, so that Wang Ruyang could rest assured.

Wang Ruyang was also very happy to see what Chu Chen said. After a few polite words, he hung up the phone.

The place Zheng Qiuda mentioned yesterday was a community built five or six years ago. When Chu Chen arrived by car, Zheng Qiuda had already arrived, and judging by his appearance, it was estimated that he would arrive soon.

When Zheng Qiuda saw Chu Chen get out of the car, he hurried up to meet him.

"Xiao Chu, you are here!"

Chu Chen greeted him and said, "Old Zheng, you seem to have been here for a while, don't you?"

Zheng Qiuda chuckled: "Anyway, I don't have anything to do at home, so I came here by taxi. By the way, I brought back this fan yesterday. Let it go here first. You can see if it's right..."

After speaking, he handed a bag containing a brocade box to Chu Chen.

"I still don't believe you?"

Chu Chen took the bag into his hands and had known Zheng Qiuda for a few years. He still knew his character. Chu Chen didn't believe that he would cheat in this regard. Besides, this fan was only worth tens of thousands of dollars at most. For him, it is still very cost-effective to use tens of thousands of dollars to recognize a villain hidden in the depths.

Afterwards, he asked with a smile, "The thief confessed?"

Zheng Qiuda nodded: "Yes, let's talk about the specifics as we walk."

Seeing Zheng Qiuda's impatient expression, Chu Chen responded, followed Zheng Qiuda and said, "I said, Old Zheng, there is something wrong with your mentality. It's better to pay attention to it later, otherwise the other party will see that you are so impatient. Even if you have intentions, you may change your mind temporarily."

Zheng Qiuda originally planned to say that he has such a personality and it is difficult to correct it, but after hearing from Chu Chen that the other party might change his mind because of this, he quickly and solemnly stated that he would pay attention.Next, he briefly told Chu Chen about the thief.

After police review, the thief explained the crime process.He claims to be fond of antiques, but he usually doesn't have much pocket money, and he is afraid of buying fakes, so he can only enjoy his eyes.

In March of this year, the thief went to Zheng Qiuda's store to appreciate antiques, and accidentally found that the back of the antique store was propped up with wooden sticks.At the same time, during this period, he also found that the security measures in the antique shop were very lax, so he had the idea of ​​stealing antiques and taking them home for collection, but at that time he just thought about it and didn't implement it.

The day before yesterday, the thief bought an antique in the market. Unexpectedly, when he went home to check, he found that it was a modern imitation. He left home.

He walked unconsciously along the way, and when the thief came back to his senses, he found that he had actually arrived at the door of Zheng Qiuda's antique shop, so his previous thoughts came up again.

However, he was not reckless. To be on the safe side, he even put on makeup and went to the antique shop to step on it. After returning home, he made a detailed plan, and he didn't start until last night.

After he succeeded, the thief kept two items to cash out, and he put the other items in the utility room of the unit. After the thief was caught, these items were also found.Therefore, for Zheng Qiuda, apart from being a little frightened and wasting some effort and time, he didn't have much to lose.

"That's really congratulations."

Chu Chen said with a smile: "But Lao Zheng, why do you still have fake products? Could it be that your taste has become so bad now?"

"How is it possible!" Zheng Qiuda laughed: "My son got this when he went on a trip with his classmates, and when he came back, he told me triumphantly that he had picked up a big leak. It has been placed in my shop, and no one cares about it. Unexpectedly, this guy was regarded as a treasure, and even took it for identification for you. "

"So, this is a completely stupid thief..."

While chatting and laughing, Chu Chen followed Zheng Qiuda to a house and knocked on the door.

"Who is it!" Following a somewhat familiar voice from Chu Chen in the room, the door was opened.

"So it's you. Didn't I say that things are not for sale?"

While the other party was talking, Chu Chen also saw her face clearly, which made him secretly say "what a coincidence".

It turned out that the person who spoke was none other than the cousin of the owner of the courtyard house where Wei Zhongxian's treasure was hidden, the old lady who kept asking him for news.

Zheng Qiuda didn't seem to have heard what the old lady said, and said with a pleasant smile: "Auntie, didn't you say you didn't agree with the price I quoted last time? This time I brought an appraisal expert from the Beijing Telephone Station."

The old lady directly refused: "This is not an expert's problem. My family is not short of money now. I will not exchange the things handed down by my ancestors for money."

Hearing this, Chu Chen felt a little speechless. It was clear that the old lady had no intention of selling it at all, but Zheng Qiuda actually said that he disagreed with his price. hallucinated.

However, Chu Chen felt that Zheng Qiuda should be clear-headed, otherwise he wouldn't have said such ambiguous words "whether they want to sell or not" yesterday.

Zheng Qiuda said with a shy face, "Ma'am, we can discuss this matter later. You see, I have invited experts here. Would you like us to take a look?"

The old lady thought, you invited the expert, what does it have to do with me?However, just when she was about to speak, she saw Chu Chen's appearance clearly.This made her stunned immediately, and after a while, she came back to her senses and said with a surprised face: "Young man, are you the expert he said?"

Chu Chen greeted the old lady with a smile, and said modestly: "I'm just playing around, at most I've participated in a few episodes of Beijing Telephone Station."
