Jianbao life

Chapter 479 Encounter on the Street (continued)

Chu Chen heard someone pleading with Jian Xingzhi, and when he thought of the arrogant attitude of the young man opposite him, he felt that the person who was pleading with Jian Xingzhi now had a high possibility of coming for the sake of young people, but Jian Xingzhi was not What a fool, he shouldn't make any unwise moves.

At the same time, the woman on the opposite side is so cruel to the young man's hesitation, it's only 1 yuan, and it's not like killing him. Ten thousand, even one hundred thousand can't handle it!
To say that she actually hated Chu Chen very much in her heart, it was precisely because of Chu Chen that she was now blocked by Mr. Wu, and in the end she could only find such an average person as her boyfriend.

But she understands that even if she hates Chu Chen so much, it won't help. On the contrary, if she does something irrational because she hates Chu Chen, she will suffer in the end. After all, to her, Chu Chen is a giant , she is just an ant.

Now, seeing that the young man is so ignorant of current affairs, for her own safety, she can only pull the young man aside, and then tell him Chu Chen's identity.

"Why didn't you say it earlier!" the young man whispered fearfully.

"There were so many people just now, what do you want me to say? What should I do if I was overheard by others?" the woman said angrily.

Once the young people think of this reason, if the people around them learn about Chu Chen's identity, they may end up thinking that Chu Chen is using power to overwhelm others if the people around him learn of Chu Chen's identity. His ending couldn't have been better.

Thinking of this, he anxiously wanted to agree to the price Chu Chen offered just now, but the "damn" cell phone rang again.

On the other side, Jian Xingzhi came over after making the phone call, and Chu Chen said to him with a half-smile, "Officer Jian, who was the one who called you just now?"

"One... a friend!"

Jian Xingzhi replied nervously, the person who called him just now was really a friend of his, and the relationship was still good, but what he didn't expect was that the young man opposite was his friend's brother-in-law, and the friend just now was I want him to help, if it's not a serious matter, let his brother-in-law go.

To say that this matter was really not a big deal at first, but now that Chu Chen is involved, it has become a big deal. When his friend heard Chu Chen's identity, he was even more frightened and turned pale without saying a few words. He hung up the phone and said that he must let his brother-in-law do what Chu Chen wanted.

Chu Chen smiled slightly, but didn't delve into it, which made Jian Xingzhi somewhat relieved.

After a while, the young man hung up the phone, walked up to Chu Chen in two or three steps, and said anxiously, "Chu...Young Master Chu, let's do it at the price you said!"
"What's the use of telling me, the key is to get the old man's consent." Chu Chen said lightly.

Hearing what Chu Chen said, the young man could only ask pleasantly, "Grandpa, do you think this price is satisfactory?"

"Ah!" The old man came back to his senses and said repeatedly: "It's done! It's done!"

Seeing that the old man agreed, the young man secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that the old man would open his mouth like a lion. At that time, with Chu Chen by his side, he had no choice but to agree.

In fact, when he thinks this way, he is trying to save the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. With Chu Chen's character, even if the old man can speak like a lion, he will not support it.

After paying the compensation, the young man said anxiously, "Chu...Young Master Chu, can I go?"

Chu Chen said lightly, "Take these tiles with you before you leave!"

"Okay! Okay!" The young man nodded repeatedly, and hurriedly picked up all the debris on the ground with his girlfriend, then greeted Chu Chen, and left in a hurry.

"Young Master Chu, if it's okay, then I'll leave first!" Jian Xingzhi said respectfully.

Chu Chen smiled and said, "Okay, today's matter is really troublesome for you. If you have a chance, call for an hour later, and let's have a drink together."

"Where, where, this is my job!"

Hearing what Chu Chen said, Jian Xingzhi was ecstatic, finished speaking with a smile on his face, and left with another police officer.

"Captain Jian, who was that person just now?" The police officer who came with Jian Xingzhi asked impatiently after walking a few steps.

Jian Xingzhi said indifferently: "The son of Secretary Chu's family."

"Secretary Chu?" The man looked puzzled, he really didn't know which Secretary of Chu Jian Xingzhi was talking about.

Jian Xingzhi glanced at him and said, "Stupid, the one in charge of discipline inspection!"

The man took a deep breath, and then quickly flattered him with a smile on his face: "Captain Jane, you actually know such a big man, you must have a bright future in the future!"

Jian Xingzhi chuckled and didn't say anything, but sneered in his heart and said, Xiao Mian, you're dumbfounded, let's see if you dare to fight against me in the future!
At the same time, after Jian Xingzhi and the others left, the old man held Chu Chen's hand and said, "Brother, thank you so much just now!"

Chu Chen smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just a matter of little effort."

"It's a little effort for you, but it's a great help for my family!" Speaking of this, the old man's expression became a little sad.

Seeing this, Chu Chen's mind was moved, and when he was about to ask the old man what was going on, he heard the old man let out a sigh:
"The gentleman just now, why is it missing?"

"He left before the police left." Wu Ke said from the side.

The old man said regretfully: "Why did I leave in such a hurry, I didn't even have time to say thank you to him!"

As soon as the words fell, the little boy next to him took the old man's hand and said, "Grandpa, let's go see Dad! With money, Dad's illness should be cured!"

"Well, yes! Let's go to the hospital now." The old man said with a smile, but there was a trace of sadness in that smile.

Seeing this, Chu Chen asked, "Master, do you still have the same bowl at home?"

"Why, do you want to buy it?" The old man was taken aback for a moment, and then asked hastily.

"Yes, as long as it's like the one just now, I will definitely buy it." Chu Chen nodded.

"The bowl just now is gone, but I still have a jade pendant here, do you want it?" The old man took out something wrapped in red cloth from the inside pocket of his clothes, opened the red face, and a jade pendant with complicated workmanship came out. appear in front of everyone.

When Chu Chen saw the jade pendant, he knew it was a good thing, but instead of taking it over, he suggested, "Master, it's not convenient for you to see it here, why don't we find a place to discuss it in detail!"

The old man had no objection to this, and agreed: "Okay!..."

Next, everyone found a teahouse nearby. During this period, Chu Chen and the others briefly learned about the situation of the old man.

The old man’s surname is Qiu. After his wife died, he lived with his only son’s family. However, a few years ago, his daughter-in-law had an accidental car accident and spent a lot of money to save her, but she couldn’t be saved. The vehicle that caused the accident escaped, and it has not been found until now. I can only consider myself unlucky, but because I spent a lot of money, the family's finances are a little tight.

So Uncle Qiu's son started to make money desperately, and finally his life got better. Unexpectedly, a while ago, his son was found to have liver cancer. This was a bolt from the blue for Uncle Qiu. The luck of the misfortune.

This kind of disease costs a lot of money, and if it doesn't work out, he will have to change his liver. Uncle Qiu's family's savings are not enough at all. As an old man, he doesn't know where to get such a sum of money. Opportunity to hear neighbors discussing that antiques are very valuable at the door, and there are still a few things handed down from ancestors in his house.

Chu Chen asked Uncle Qiu to sit down, and asked a little strangely: "Then you should go to Panjiayuan to sell it, why are you here?"

"Hi!" Uncle Qiu slapped his thigh and said, "I didn't know where to sell them, so I asked my neighbor. My neighbor said that he knew a person who opened a handicraft store here, and he should be able to collect these things. So I came here with my things, but I didn't expect the other party to see this bowl and ask for only 200 yuan."

"As soon as I heard it, I thought it was wrong. According to calculations, my bowl was more than 200 years old. How could it be worth 200 yuan to him? At that time, I felt that this person was dishonest, so I left without a counter , I didn’t expect this to happen!”

After hearing Uncle Qiu's narration, both Chu Chen and Uncle Wu shook their heads. Such a thing with a large door opening can be sold for 200 yuan. Even if you want to lower the price, you can't be so outrageous!

However, there are good and bad in the antique business, there are not many of these people, and there are not many, so Chu Chen ignored him, picked up the jade pendant that Uncle Qiu put on the table, and began to look at it.

The material of this jade pendant is high-grade suet white jade, the surface looks oily and shiny, elegant and pure, basically without any flaws.

The jade pendant is flake-shaped with a round outline. It is modeled on the pendant of the descendant of Changyi in the Han Dynasty. The upper part is engraved with double dragons, facing each other, with cloud patterns on the top of the head.The lower part is circularly carved with double Kui phoenix patterns and the four characters "Changyi descendants" in seal script.The workmanship is exquisite, the masonry is smooth, and the carving is made of round carving, openwork carving, openwork carving, line carving and other techniques.

This piece of jade pendant is exquisite in workmanship, delicate and moist, and exquisitely carved. It has the style of a typical palace building office, and it has the style of antique luxury in the Qing Dynasty. It is a model of perfect workmanship.In addition, the serial number of "Qianlong Year System" and "Bi Zi" are engraved on both sides of the edge of this pendant.

At that time, Emperor Qianlong was very fond of antiquity, so all parts of the inner court paid attention to antiquity. This jade pendant is a Qianlong jade article engraved with a thousand-character serial number, which is one of the antique jade articles manufactured by the Qianlong court.

According to data records, during the Qianlong period, orders were issued to make such jade pendants at different times.There should be more than one hundred pieces of such numbered jade wares, and dozens of them exist in the Palace Museum in Beijing, and now there are such jade wares on display in the museum, numbered No. 180.

Therefore, Chu Chen guessed that this jade pendant should have flowed out of the palace in the late Qing Dynasty, which is really quite rare.

Chu Chen put the jade pendant in front of Uncle Wu beside him, and then said to Uncle Qiu who was opposite him, "Master, I like this jade pendant very much, how much do you want to sell it for?"

Uncle Qiu shook his head and said, "I don't know much about this either, brother, you should set the price, I believe you!"

Although it was only a brief contact, Chu Chen also knew that he should be an honest person, so he said directly:

"Since you said so, I think 60 is more appropriate."

"How much?" Uncle Qiu said dumbfounded: "60? Did I hear correctly?"

Chu Chen smiled slightly and said, "You heard me right, it is indeed 60!"

"This won't work!" Uncle Qiu waved his hands again and again, "I know you feel sorry for me, old man, but your price is too high, I can't accept it!"

Chu Chen explained: "Master, I really didn't drive much higher, the current market value of this jade pendant is so much!"

"Really? You didn't lie to me?" Uncle Qiu asked in doubt.

Chu Chen said with certainty: "How could I lie to you? If you don't believe me, go to an antique shop and ask if such a jade pendant is worth the price!"

To say that this jade pendant is indeed worth 60 yuan, but generally speaking, it is impossible for antique shops to collect it at the original price, otherwise they would earn nothing.

Hearing what Chu Chen said, Uncle Qiu looked at the jade pendant in Uncle Wu's hand in disbelief. He never thought that his ancestral jade pendant would be so valuable.But he immediately became excited. With the 60 yuan, the money for his son's medical treatment will be available, and he probably doesn't need a white-haired person to send a black-haired person.

Chu Chen continued: "Master, what do you think? If possible, we can sign an agreement now."

Uncle Qiu nodded again and again: "Okay! Okay! I really trouble you!..."

After signing the agreement, Chu Chen was going to go to the bank to transfer money with Uncle Qiu. At this moment, Uncle Qiu took out another silver coin from his pocket and said:

"Brother, I know that if it was someone else, they would definitely not buy this jade pendant at this price. I don't have anything to thank you for, so I will give this silver coin to you!"

After finishing speaking, he didn't allow Chu Chen to refuse, so he forced the silver coin into Chu Chen's hand.

Originally, this matter was not a big deal, but when Chu Chen saw the silver coin, he was taken aback.

The surface of this silver coin is as bright as new. Except for the fact that there is a thin layer of patina on the surface due to time, it looks like a brand new product.

On the front of the silver coin, Mr. Sun Yat-sen's profile head is engraved, "24 years of the Republic of China" is engraved on the top, a two-masted sailing boat is engraved on the back, and the value of "one yuan" is listed on the left and right.In other words, this Sun Yat-sen silver coin should have been minted by the Shanghai Central Mint in the 24th year of the Republic of China.

Chu Chen was surprised because the 24th year of the Republic of China was 1935, but as early as 1929, the Kuomintang government began to implement the so-called "legal currency" policy. Returning to the state, the legal currency can be exchanged for silver coins within a limited period, and silver coins are no longer legal currency.

Therefore, Sun Yat-sen's silver coins in 24 years must have not been circulated in the market, and Chu Chen has never seen such silver coins for sale in the coin market. Although it may not be an orphan, it must be one of the few. of.

"Master, this silver coin is too precious, I cannot accept it."

Now that he knew the value of this silver coin, Chu Chen would definitely not accept it with peace of mind. If he did that, it would be a moral problem.He would rather not have this silver coin, and it is impossible to accept such a valuable gift from an old man whose family is in difficulty.

Uncle Qiu said with some displeasure: "Brother, this is boring for you. It's just a silver dollar. It doesn't matter whether it's precious or not. If you don't like it, just say so."

Chu Chen quickly explained: "Grandpa, you misunderstood, how could I look down on this silver coin? To tell you the truth, the value of this silver coin is not much lower than the value of the jade pendant. How can I be so precious?" accept?"

"what?"

Hearing what Chu Chen said, not only Uncle Qiu was dumbfounded, but everyone else was also quite shocked. Uncle Wu hurried forward to ask for the silver coins, and carefully looked them over.

"Brother, you didn't lie to me?" Uncle Qiu said a little bit tongue-tied.

Chu Chen spread his hands and said, "Master, why should I lie to you about this matter? To put it bluntly, it's not that I have too much money to spend, don't you think so?"

At this time, Uncle Wu also appraised the silver coin, nodded and said: "This is indeed a very rare silver coin, and its value is indeed not much lower than that of a jade pendant."

Seeing that Uncle Wu said the same thing, Uncle Qiu understood that this humble silver coin was indeed a treasure, which immediately made him feel as if he had fallen into a dream, and he couldn't believe that such a good thing would happen to him.

After a while, he came back to his senses and asked, "Then how much is this silver coin worth?"

"50!" Chu Chen replied.

"Hiss!" Uncle Qiu gasped, "Is it really worth 50 yuan for just such a thing?"

Chu Chen chuckled and said, "The value of things in our business is not judged by their size. Whether they are cheap or expensive depends on their historical value and rarity. To use a simple analogy, it is like a catty of silver. And half a catty of gold, although gold is less, it is much more expensive than silver in terms of value."

"Oh, that's true!" Uncle Qiu nodded, then he thought for a while and said, "Well, let's do a round number, and you can give me a total of 100 million for the two things. If there are so many, I already Very contented."

Chu Chen waved his hand and said, "Master, I won't suffer a loss if I buy 50 yuan, and I have a channel, and I can make tens of thousands of dollars if I sell it, and to put it bluntly, 10 yuan is really nothing to me." , but you are different, except for the cost of treatment, your family must live!"

"This..." Hearing what Chu Chen said, the old man hesitated a little. If he wanted to say that what Chu Chen said was indeed reasonable, if his son needed to have a liver transplant in the future, it would be a huge expense. After taking tens of thousands of yuan of medicine, maybe the 10 yuan now will be the life-saving money for my family.

"Okay, let's settle this matter!"

As he said that, Chu Chen took out the agreement that had been printed in the shop in advance, filled it out, and put it in front of the old man.

Seeing this, Uncle Qiu had no choice but to sign his name in embarrassment. ...
