Jianbao life

Chapter 765 Everyone is happy
For Warren's statement, Chu Chen still appreciates it very much. Among other things, at least it makes him feel very comfortable.But to be honest, as a person who wants to keep this pen holder in his pocket now, the last thing he wants is to cause trouble.If Warren wants to return the item to a friend, he really doesn't know if he can successfully buy this treasure.

Of course, even if Warren decides to do this, Chu Chen will only appreciate his personality and will definitely not have any opinions. Now that Warren said this, he said with a smile: "Mr. Warren, let's talk about something." the price!"

After speaking, he put the pen holder on the desk in the room. All the things for this transaction have been gathered here, including the pen holder, there are eight items in total.

Warren chuckled and said, "Chu, you are a good man. To use a saying in your country, a good man should be rewarded with good rewards. For these things, I will consider you 100 million pounds. What do you think?"

When he said these words, Warren didn't think much about it, mainly because he was in a particularly excited mood right now, so he could say whatever he thought in his heart, but when he said it, he felt quite painful.

You know, if the deal is really priced at 100 million pounds, then the discount he gave to Chu Chen would be almost 200 million RMB. The money was nothing before his business was fine, but now it is a little bit for him. It's a gut-wrenching smell.

Before Chu Chen could speak, Kelly next to her lost her voice when she heard the price, "Daddy! Did I hear you right, did you say 100 million?"

Kelly didn't know the real price of the pen holder, so, based on the previous information, it was a bit difficult for her to accept the price of 100 million pounds offered by her father.After all, she found Chu Chen through Mina's relationship, and now her father is going to kill Chu Chen fiercely, how will this make her look up in front of Mina in the future?
Chu Chen explained with a smile: "Kelly, don't think too much, the price given by Mr. Warren is already so favorable that I can't accept it!"

Warren gave his daughter a reassuring look, and then said: "Chu, I think this price is very appropriate, because without your honest words, how could I make a million?"

Although the preferential treatment given to Chu Chen made him feel a little distressed, he did not regret making such a decision. As he said, if it weren't for Chu Chen's good intentions, he would never have made such money.Although it is true that he only cares about his own interests when doing business, he still knows what to do in this situation.

Chu Chen smiled slightly: "Mr. Warren, I can really say that I have a lot of credit for what happened today. If it is someone else, I don't care if I accept it, but your situation is a bit special after all! I think you can get rid of a fraction That's it."

Warren thought for a while, and he was not as powerful as before, so he said with some embarrassment: "Chu, if this is the case, then I won't be too polite. These things are worth a total of 110 million pounds. As you say, that's got the odds off, and you can't refuse!"

"Okay! Let's do it like this!" Although this is equivalent to saving more than 70 RMB, this time he did save Warren's loss of tens of millions, so Chu Chen stopped being hypocritical and smiled. Then he agreed.

"However, Mr. Warren, I don't have that many pounds at the moment. I wonder if I can settle in rice dollars?"

For Warren, there is no problem whether it is the British pound or the Chinese dollar. He happily replied: "It is absolutely possible!"

Seeing the transaction process between the two, Kelly next to her was really confused. She really couldn't figure out what was going on. After the two parties agreed on the matter, she couldn't help her curiosity anymore and asked: "Daddy, what's going on?"

Warren, who had made an agreement with Chu Chen, was very happy. He said with a smile on his face, "Simply put, this pen holder is a genuine product since it belongs to Chu."

"The real thing?" Kelly was very surprised when she heard what her father said, "But when I called you yesterday, why didn't you mention it?"

"Because Chu helped to confirm this matter just now!" Warren laughed.

"what!"

Seeing his daughter's surprised look, Warren smiled and said, "Let's deal with this matter first, and let's talk about the specifics later when we have dinner!"

"All right……"

Kelly watched her father sign the contract with Chu Chen in disbelief. After her father verified the authenticity of the check issued by Chu Chen and the two sides shook hands to celebrate the success of the transaction, she believed everything in front of her. But she still couldn't figure it out. , how could such a change occur.

Not to mention Kelly, even Warren's wife was very surprised when she learned of this situation. It wasn't until Warren told the reason that everyone suddenly realized that they were glad that Warren was not deceived, and at the same time scolded that liar. thing.

Kelly said angrily: "This liar is really hateful, Daddy, you must go to the police in a while and bring that liar to justice."

Warren nodded and said, "Well, I'll go later!"
At this moment, Mina said, "Mr. Warren, didn't you just say that you met that liar at the antique shop you often go to, could it be that the liar knew the owner of the antique shop?"

"It's possible!" Warren murmured.

There is an old saying that those who are close to vermilion are red, and those who are close to ink are black. Since the owner of the antique shop is not very good, there is a possibility that the two may really know each other.

"Daddy, then you may find that guy through that liar!" Kelly said excitedly.

"Yes!" Warren nodded again and again with a smile on his face, but after a while, his mood became depressed again, and he said with a wry smile: "But even if I find that person, I can't recover the previous loss, so let it go Bar!"

Hearing what her father said, Kelly also realized that the owner of the antique store handled it very skillfully, even if he knew it was a fake, he couldn't settle with the other party. This made her feel very uncomfortable, so she looked at it as if complaining. Father glanced.

Seeing this situation, Warren smiled awkwardly, Mrs. Warren smiled and said to Warren: "Honey, I think you should study first before talking, so as not to be deceived by the other party and say hello to the other party!"

Kelly took the conversation and said, "Yes, and if you want to have an appraisal, go to the auction company for appraisal, so you won't be cheated."

"Kelly, it's not certain what you said." Chu Chen said with a smile.

Hearing what Chu Chen said, except for Wu Ke who had heard a little about this, everyone else at the scene seemed quite surprised.

Warren asked in surprise: "Chu, you don't mean that the auction company will deliberately tell the truth as a lie?"

"Large auction companies are more formal in this regard, and some small auction companies may do this kind of thing."

Chu Chen said: "Besides, it's not just the truth that turns out to be false, it's also very possible for the false to turn out to be true."

Mina frowned and asked, "Chu, you're not wrong, right? If it's true, it's because the other party wants to keep things for himself, but if it's true, what good does it do for him?"

Chu Chen replied with a smile: "Because in some auction companies, the appraisal fee is charged according to a certain percentage of the final value of the item. The higher the value, the higher the appraisal fee. Will you tell the lie the truth?..."

Nowadays, with the auction prices hitting new highs, many investors or speculators are focusing on this market, making the antique market bloom everywhere.And because of the particularity of the antique market, some people with ulterior motives also entered this industry.

In addition to the two situations that Chu Chen mentioned, there are still some appraisers in the market who look at the money and talk, and they choose what the client likes to hear, and the client is the one who suffers in the end.

Because such "experts" are too active, the good-end market has been muddied, causing the appraisal of cultural relics to face an unprecedented crisis of credibility.Unlike other "children" on the market, cultural relic "appraisers" are particularly harmful because they wear "cultural shirts" and do things that derogate culture.

This also makes it necessary for current collectors to have a pair of sharp eyes if they want to "find" a desirable real antique.And you must not listen to some so-called "experts" fooling you, otherwise you will definitely suffer a lot because of it.

Take furniture as an example. When Chu Chen first entered the industry, Uncle Wu told him how a piece of "old furniture" was born.

The specific method is to pour rice washing swill or tea on the newly made furniture, and then put it on the outdoor soil to let it be exposed to the sun and rain.After repeated operations several times in two or three months, the wood grain of the furniture will naturally crack, the paint will crack and peel off, and the color of the logs will darken, thus showing the "old" appearance that has experienced wind and rain.

The "old furniture" made by this kind of fraudulent method is often very realistic, and even some experts will give an eye on this aspect, let alone newcomers who are relatively lacking in knowledge.In addition, some unscrupulous "appraisers" now specialize in selling these things, so it's no wonder they don't confuse buyers.

After listening to Chu Chen's explanation, everyone couldn't help but looked at each other in blank dismay. They never imagined that there are so many tricks in the current antique market.

"Chu, if you say that, I won't dare to buy antiques from your country next time!" Warren said with a wry smile.

Chu Chen chuckled and said, "Whether you can buy the real thing or not depends on your eyesight. As far as your current level is concerned, to be honest, I think it's better to see more and buy less."

Mrs. Warren took over and said, "Yes! Chu is right, dear, I think you should read more books in the future. As for shopping, let's wait until you have done your research thoroughly!"

In order to avoid being cheated by profiteers in the future because of his poor academic skills, Warren, who was terrified by what Chu Chen said, could only agree with a wry smile, "Okay then..."
