Chapter 554 Appreciating Treasure Activities ([-])

In fact, the reason why Shimen was temporarily chosen for this treasure-appreciating event was also the result of the relationship between Shimen and Shimen.

Shimen is also very satisfied with the six well-known experts invited by Beijing TV Station. As for Chu Chen and others, because Shimen TV Station has learned some information from the other party in advance, in their eyes, Chu Chen and others have become pure experts. For soy sauce.

However, in addition to not paying much attention to Chu Chen and others, the reception is also treated equally, and the attitude is very enthusiastic. Of course, this is also related to the fact that Chu Chen seems to be very familiar with these experts.

During lunch, the leader of the city's cultural work also came to show his face, delivered a speech, offered a few glasses of wine, and then left. Very important.

After dinner, the people from the TV station discussed the details together. At this time, Shimen learned from Director Xu that Chu Chen and others were also going to play, which made Shimen a little dissatisfied, until Director Xu said that Chu Chen was Liu The old proud disciple, and the six experts unanimously said that Chu Chen's eyesight was no worse than theirs, so Shimen agreed with hesitation.

Regarding this, Chu Chen was somewhat helpless, who told him to be so young?It's okay if it's other things, but antique appraisal is completely based on experience. Under normal circumstances, how can there be such a young expert as Chu Chen?Shimen's doubts are also reasonable.

In fact, in the final analysis, it has nothing to do with Chu Chen's lack of fame. If he is as famous as Guan Guokang, even if he is only a teenager, it is impossible for others to underestimate him.

Although Chu Chen felt a little uncomfortable about Shimen's doubts, he immediately dismissed it. Just like the previous appraisal meeting organized by the Beijing Antiques Association, most people were not optimistic about him at the beginning, but in the end they were still rejected by him. Impressed by his ability, this time I believe that as long as he develops, the result will be the same.

Everyone rested for a while, and then went shopping together to nearby attractions. After dinner, they returned to their respective rooms to recharge their batteries for tomorrow's activities.

Yan Province is a province rich in cultural relics, with a long history and cultural heritage. In addition, Shimen’s publicity is relatively in place, so there are many people from all over the province to participate in the treasure appraisal activity. Originally, Shimen put the event location in the hotel , but because there were too many people, it could only be temporarily held in a small gymnasium not far from the hotel.

The treasure-appreciating activity was set at nine o'clock in the morning, but because there was a short opening ceremony, so before 08:30, everyone came to the gymnasium by car. At this time, many people were already there in front of the gymnasium After waiting, most of the people had a box or box in front of them, while others simply held bottles and cans.

Because they have the same hobbies, it is easier to communicate with each other. At this time, many collectors are enthusiastically communicating with the same antique lovers around them, or picking up the tools in their hands and appreciating each other's utensils. Because of this, people have taken a fancy to the other party's things, and simply inquired about the price directly.

In fact, in such an environment, the chances of picking up leaks or finding something you like are much greater than those in the market. Because of this feature, many treasure hunters or people or companies engaged in antique work will follow such activities. , if it wasn't for Chu Chen's appraisal, he would have wanted to participate.

This time the treasure appraisal activity was quite formal. After the experts entered the venue, the host Zou Ying gave an introduction to the audience one by one. Others arrived okay, and they all responded with warm applause. When it was Chu Chen's turn, there was only sparse applause.

This situation was also expected by Chu Chen, and he didn't feel any embarrassment at all. Besides, there was no one booing at the scene, which was much better than he expected.

In fact, some people want to coax, but they have to identify the things in their hands. They are afraid that coaxing will cause unnecessary trouble, so in line with the idea that one thing is worse than one thing, they no longer meddle in their own business. It is certain that the young man will not be appraised.

"Ladies and gentlemen, all Tibetan friends, welcome to participate in the speech organized by Beijing TV Station and... I will invite Mayor Wang to give a speech, everyone welcome..."

As soon as Zou Ying finished speaking, the Mayor Wang she was talking about came onto the stage. He didn't make any long speeches, and after speaking for two or three minutes, he announced the official start of the treasure appraisal activity.

Because the capacity of the gymnasium is limited, only the number of people who come in can be limited each time, but the turbulent crowd is still a little frightening. If there are no armed police on the scene to maintain order, Chu Chen is worried that there will be a stampede on the scene.

This time Chu Chen was mainly in charge of porcelain. After the treasure appraisal activity started, the situation was similar to what Chu Chen thought. There was a long queue in front of the other eight experts, but he was the only one who was empty.

Seeing this situation, Chu Chen didn't care too much, and just took the opportunity to see how others judged it, so as to learn some experience from it.

In front of Guan Guokang, who was two places away from Chu Chen, was standing a middle-aged man with a rather rich figure. He put a blue vase in front of Guan Guokang and said:
"Mr. Guan, I bought this blue-and-white plum vase from the market. The seller said that his ancestor had a champion in the Qing Dynasty, and the thing was passed down from his ancestors at that time. After I went home and checked, I found that the seller At the time I was talking about, there was indeed a champion with the same surname in the local area, so I bought it, please show me, is this thing really true..."

Guan Guokang looked at it with a magnifying glass for a while, then sat back in his seat, and then said kindly: "Sir, this thing is just a contemporary handicraft."

The middle-aged man became anxious when he heard it, and quickly said: "What, it's impossible! Later, I asked a friend of mine to see it, and he also said that this is a genuine work. How could it be a contemporary handicraft? And The things recorded in the local chronicles are not false!"
Guan Guokang shook his head and said: "The deeds recorded in the local chronicles are indeed seldom false, but is this bottle of yours really belonged to that official's family? Besides, you only need to look at the poem written on the bottle to know gone."

"Poetry?" The middle-aged man looked at it carefully, and said with a puzzled expression, "This poem is fine!"

Guan Guokang said: "Poetry is fine, what about the characters? You said it was something from the Qing Dynasty, so why are these characters still written in simplified characters?"

Hearing this, Chu Chen almost spit out the water he just drank, and the middle-aged man blushed and immediately picked up his blue vase and left in a hurry.

Lu Changshun, who was sitting next to Chu Chen, smiled when he saw Chu Chen's expression: "This is normal. Many people like to collect, but they don't like to read theoretical knowledge. They buy things based on their own experience and intuition. To judge, often there will be a lot of jokes."

"I really know about this, but I can't even tell the difference between simplified and traditional characters when playing antiques, and..." At this point, Chu Chen shook his head, really not knowing what to say.

"This thing is a copper foot warmer made in the 40s. Although the workmanship is not bad, but the output is large, and it is basically worthless for collection."

While Chu Chen and Lu Changshun were talking and laughing, the voice of Chu Chen's big brother Yu Renpeng came from beside him. Chu Chen looked at the place where he was sitting, and was shocked instantly. Isn't the copper foot warmer the one he used all the time when he was a child? How about planting copper stoves? Even though Lujia Village is relatively poor, there are many such stoves.

Chu Chen didn't expect that someone would treat it as a treasure. No wonder Yu Renpeng had a dumbfounding expression on his face.

"The 40s was the Republic of China, so this thing is considered an antique!" the man asked.

"If you want to count it as an antique, you can count it, but I guess it will be worth a few more decades if it is stored." Yu Renpeng pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said dumbfounded.

The owner of the copper stove was not reconciled, and asked a few more questions, until the people behind urged him, he picked up the copper stove in front of him, and walked away with an expression of displeasure.

"People nowadays just like to hear what they like to hear. To be honest with him, he still thinks that others are lying to him." Lu Changshun shook his head.

Chu Chen chuckled, there are quite a few people like this in the antique business, just like Zhou Jude, who went mad right away.

As more and more people came to appraise treasures, Lu Changshun also started to get busy. Only Chu Chen hadn't opened yet, and he didn't feel that something was wrong, so he opened Baojue and watched several other experts appraise.

To say that the experts who came this time are all very good. Chu Chen found that from the beginning to the present, none of the six experts invited by the TV station identified faults, and the speed was very fast.In addition, the speed of the two experts recommended by the forum was slower, but there were no mistakes.

Just when Chu Chen was excited, a middle-aged man with the appearance of a businessman took out a piece of ancient jade with red spots and green marks on his body and put it in front of Chu Chen.

"Teacher, I have something to do soon, so I wonder if you can help me look at this piece of ancient jade first?" The middle-aged man asked with a smile.

Chu Chen can look at the jade wares, but today he is in charge of porcelain wares, so of course he can't steal other people's jobs, so he smiled and said, "Sir, I'm sorry, I'm mainly in charge of porcelain wares, your jade is still for Lu Teacher, let's see!"

The middle-aged man was a little disappointed when he heard the words. Lu Changshun smiled and said, "It's okay, Xiao Chu, you can help him read it. In the antique world of the capital, who doesn't know that you are also proficient in jade!"

"Then I'm welcome..."

After looking at it for so long, Chu Chen felt a little itchy, so he picked up the piece of ancient jade and looked at it, but the middle-aged man didn't know why, and his face seemed a little ugly.

Chu Chen took a look at the magnifying glass prepared by the organizer for the experts, then shook his head and said, "This piece of ancient jade is not real!"
