Jianbao life

Chapter 1080
Du Zhonglin was stunned for a long time after hearing this, and then he asked with some difficulty: "Could it be that there was no special case at that time, there must be no He Xiangu?"

Chu Chen replied: "The legend of He Xiangu has existed for a long time, but although the legend of the Eight Immortals prevailed in the Yuan Dynasty, the names of the Eight Immortals are not fixed, or there are no He Xiangu, Cao Guoshu, and Zhang Guolao, but Xu Shenweng, Feng Seng Shou, Zhang Silang, Yuan Huzi, etc. They all have one characteristic, that is, the Eight Immortals are all male, and there are no females."

"As for our current ranking of the Eight Immortals, it was finally determined after Wu Yuantai's "The Origin of the Eight Immortals: A Journey to the East" in the Ming Dynasty."

"How could this happen!" Du Zhonglin couldn't accept the result at all. He suddenly stood up from the chair and paced back and forth beside him. The anxious and helpless look on his face made Chu Chen very worried.

In order to avoid any accident, Chu Chen hurriedly stepped forward and comforted him: "Old man, please calm down first, don't affect your body, then the loss outweighs the gain."

"This... But, this is my pension money, how can I calm down!"

Du Zhonglin seemed extremely desperate, and immediately, he was a little bit unwilling to give up, picked up the plum vase and explained: "Mr. Chu, look at this brown spot decoration, which first appeared on the Yue kiln in the late Western Jin Dynasty. The Longquan kiln in the Yuan Dynasty inherited and The development of this technique has brought a variety of appearances to the single-color glazed porcelain variety of celadon, and isn’t this plum vase the best example?”

"Also, look at the flint red on the exposed part, how bright and eye-catching it is against the green glaze around it! How could this be made by a fake?"

Hearing this, Chu Chen sighed in his heart, why did he meet two people who bought an antique with all their wealth in just two days?Is it so difficult to think about what the consequences will be if you hit the eye before buying?

However, after thinking about it, he did the same thing last year. He spent all his savings on buying that Tang Sancai, but all the hard work in the first few years was in vain. Fortunately, he was still young, and he got a special ability by a blessing in disguise. , otherwise the situation would not be any better than that of Du Zhonglin who has retired now.

"Mr. Du, I also know what you said, and to be honest, this plum vase is indeed made to look like the real one, but just like Guan Gong couldn't fight Qin Qiong, the Eight Immortals that were confirmed in the Ming Dynasty are definitely impossible to appear In the works of the Yuan Dynasty, I hope you can understand."

"Moreover, as I recall, there is actually a prototype of this plum vase, which was first collected by a collector in England, and it appeared in front of the world as the cover of the special catalog of Sotheby's in England on July 1951, 7. At that time, it was numbered It was 10. On April 33, 1980, it was auctioned by Christie's in England and acquired by a famous collector in Lion City."

"On November 1996, 11, it was auctioned again by Hong Kong Jiangsu Forbes Company, No. 5. It was published twice..."

Hearing this, Du Zhonglin didn't have any fantasies, he sat down on the ground, and said with tears:

"Why did this happen! I was so sloppy. Why didn't I take it seriously when I bought it! Why!"

Because he was too excited, the plum vase in Du Zhonglin's hand was a little crumbling. Seeing this, Chu Chen hurried forward and took the things in his hands. Seeing Du Zhonglin's grief-stricken appearance, he felt deeply moved. What he wanted to say was, this is not the same as recognizing It doesn't matter if you are serious, the most important thing is that Du Zhonglin knows too little, or is not well prepared.

Judging from Du Zhonglin's performance, such a thing with a market value of hundreds of thousands would definitely not buy it after seeing it, but would prepare it anyway, read the relevant information before making a decision.During this process, he can completely browse through the materials of the Eight Immortals, so what happened today will not happen.

Some people may say, isn't it the Eight Immortals that everyone is familiar with, and it makes sense not to search for information.

This point may be feasible in other things, but antique collection must not be like this. The reason is very simple. Even the well-known thought of "Quiet Night Thoughts", the Song Dynasty version is "Looking at the moonlight in front of the bed, it is suspected that it is on the ground." Frost. Look up at the mountains and the moon, and look down at your hometown.”

How can you be sure that the Eight Immortals of today and the Eight Immortals of the Yuan Dynasty are the same person?

Therefore, when buying an antique, all the details must be considered, and taking it for granted is often a problem with your own pocket.

"No, I have to settle the score with him!" Du Zhonglin stood up with a thud, and said angrily: "It's a shame that I trust him so much, and he even deceived me with fake products. It's really not a thing!"

Seeing this, Chu Chen persuaded him to calm down, and said, "Mr. Du, since he sold you three counterfeit products in a row, he was trying to deceive you. It will be very difficult for you to get the money back after you go through it like this."

Chu Chen's words reminded Du Zhonglin, and he clapped his hands together: "Yes! Teacher Chu, you are right, I want to call the police and sue him for fraud!"

Chu Chen said: "Mr. Du, to be honest, you can sue him for fraud, but you must have the corresponding evidence. For example, have you signed an agreement?"

Du Zhonglin nodded and said, "I've signed it, and I'll put it in the box. Look..."

As he spoke, he took out an agreement from the bottom of the box where the plum bottle was placed.

Chu Chen took a look in his hand and saw that the agreement was very standard. However, when he saw the items traded, he couldn't help shaking his head: "Mr. Du, this is the plum vase of the Eight Immortals of Longquan Kiln written on it, and this item is not marked. What dynasty is it, under such circumstances, it will be very difficult for you to win the lawsuit."

"Ah! Didn't you write it?" Du Zhonglin was taken aback when he heard this, and quickly asked Chu Chen for an agreement. After looking carefully, he found that there was indeed no dynasty written on it.

"Why didn't I write it!" Du Zhonglin patted his head hard, annoyed that he was too sloppy: "But when he sold me, he clearly told me that it was from the Yuan Dynasty, even if he didn't write his Can you still go back on your word?"

Chu Chen shook his head and said, "If he insisted that he didn't say anything at the time, then you can't do anything about him. Such a case happened not long ago."

Some time ago, an old customer of Chu Chen's antique shop suffered such a loss.A few months ago, he bought two items from a friend, a pair of Hetian jade bracelets from the Qing Dynasty, and a Song Dynasty inkstone, which cost a total of 10,000+.

After buying it back, he took the items to Chu Chen for appraisal, and it turned out that they were all modern imitations, the bracelet was made of Russian material, and the inkstone was also an old and common thing made in modern times.Hearing this result, he was very angry, so he took the things to return the goods, but the original friend refused.

Since he had signed an agreement when he bought it, he sued the seller to the court in a fit of anger, but the agreement also had the flaws in Du Zhonglin's agreement, which did not include the dynasty. In the end, it was judged that the inkstone could not be returned, but only returned. That pair of bracelets.The reason why the bracelet can be returned is because the agreement says Hetian jade, but it is actually Russian material.

Some friends may ask, since these two things are modern imitations, they are not worth a lot of money according to the market value, but the final judgment still made the buyer buy the inkstone. Has it violated the principle of fairness in the contract law and the principle of honesty and trustworthiness in doing business?
In other words, if it is something else, then such a judgment is indeed a bit like a muddle, but the antique trade is a special kind of commodity trade, and its particularity is manifested in its strong professionalism, various trading methods, lack of substitution and lack of substitution for trading items. Comparability, it is difficult to determine a unified value measurement standard, so this judgment is not only in line with the rationality of the industry regulations, but also reflects the fairness and justice of the agreement.

Because the sale of antiques embodies the ancient principle of contract law that the buyer should be cautious.The so-called "buyer beware" principle means that one party should rely on its own knowledge to make judgments during the process of concluding a contract, and the other party has no obligation to disclose information about the contract or the subject matter. Liability for defects is excluded, the only limitation is no fraud and misrepresentation.

The theoretical basis of this principle is that everyone is the best defender of their own rights and interests, and should properly take care of their own interests during the transaction process. efforts to understand the circumstances relevant to the contract, there is no reason to rely on the other party.

Therefore, when buying expensive antiques, you must sign an agreement carefully. If you buy jewelry, you must have an appraisal certificate issued by a national authority, because certificates from some experts and institutions can be bought as long as you spend money. Also be very careful.

After hearing this example, Du Zhonglin shook his head again and again, "The example you mentioned is a bit different from what I'm encountering now. Since he had guaranteed the ticket with me when he bought it at the beginning, it must be impossible to go back on it now!"

Chu Chen said: "You are right. If it is what you said, the contract will be invalid. But the key point is, was there anyone else present besides you? If you were the only one present, if he denied it, you would also ask for it." There are no witnesses."

Du Zhonglin said: "No, it was only me and him at the time, but he is a liar, the police should be obliged to help me investigate!"

"You can try this matter. It's best to call the police and prepare for a lawsuit." Chu Chen gave a suggestion, but as he said, if the other party strongly denies it, you can think about it without the presence of other people. There is little hope of a return.

"Okay, Teacher Chu, thank you very much..."

While Du Zhonglin was packing his things there, Chu Chen suddenly thought, could such a high level of imitation of ancient ceramics be related to Cai Jianxuan?It's a pity that only the blue and white porcelain and Ming and Qing official kiln porcelain can he see Cai Jianxuan's style, and he is a little bit blind when he replaces it with Yuan Dynasty Longquan kiln wares.

So, he quickly asked: "By the way, Mr. Du, can I ask you about the seller's information?"

Du Zhonglin was startled when he heard the words. He didn't know why Chu Chen wanted to ask this question, but he immediately reacted and said excitedly: "Yes, yes, this kind of person should be exposed. His name is..."

Seeing that Du Zhonglin misunderstood what he meant, Chu Chen didn't explain much, but when he heard Du Zhonglin describe the appearance of that person, he couldn't help being surprised. He didn't expect that this person was actually him in Han Yusong's store in Xiazhou. He met that weird person who lied to Zhao Xueyi in Jiangcheng at the same time.Unexpectedly, it took only a long time, and he actually cheated to come to the capital.

Thinking that this person might be inextricably related to Cai Jianxuan, Chu Chen felt a little excited, and immediately asked, "Mr. Du, how long have you known him?"

Du Zhonglin replied: "That time is not too short, almost two or three years. Otherwise, I wouldn't have bought such expensive things from him. I didn't expect... Hey!"

"Two or three years? Has he always lived in the capital?" Chu Chen was very surprised when he heard this. Did he admit the wrong person?
"What's the matter? His family is in the capital. If he doesn't live in the capital, where will he live?"

Du Zhonglin felt a little strange about Chu Chen's reaction, but he immediately thought of another detail and said:

"Oh, by the way, he is a bit strange, and he usually doesn't know what kind of business he is in, but he travels around the country for two or three months a year. Every time he asks him, he just smiles. Now Think about it, is the business trip he mentioned dealing with these fakes?"

Hearing this, Chu Chen felt relieved, but he also felt strange, because the capital has never heard of such a person who specializes in selling fake products. Could it be that rabbits don't eat grass beside their nests?Then why did he suddenly put his eyes on Du Zhonglin again?

Thinking of this question, Chu Chen asked, "Mr. Du, since you have known him for so long, why didn't you buy a few more things from him?"

"Hey!" Du Zhonglin sighed: "I asked him to buy it before, and he said that his collection was not for sale, and he didn't even exchange it. Until recently, he said that because of some problems in the business, he needed money urgently, and asked me I bought it only if I was interested, but I didn't expect him to be such a person!"

At the end, Du Zhonglin was very angry, and hated that person even more like gnashing his teeth.

After hearing what Du Zhonglin said, Chu Chen wondered in his heart, could it be because they investigated Cai Jianxuan's gang so closely that they couldn't ship the goods with confidence, so they turned their attention to the rabbit's nest?
At this time, Du Zhonglin packed up his things and bid farewell to Chu Chen. However, when he reached the door, he suddenly remembered something, and said with a depressed face: "That guy went on a business trip again, and now he has reported Even the police can't catch him!"

Chu Chen said quickly after hearing the words: "Mr. Du, since this is the case, I think you'd better wait for him to come back before reporting the crime, otherwise, if he has a guilty conscience, he may run away when he hears the news."

During this period of time, Mr. Liu put a lot of energy into investigating Cai Jianxuan's gang. If Du Zhonglin called the police and the other party misunderstood, he might really run away.

"That's right! Don't let this grandson run away!" Du Zhonglin nodded repeatedly. If he really wanted to let the other party run away, he might lose all his money. This is not what he wants to see. ...

After that, Du Zhonglin left with a heavy heart, while Chu Chen told Mr. Liu the news.

Thinking of collecting more and more clues now, Chu Chen felt that the time for Cai Jianxuan's arrest might not be far away. ...
