Jianbao life

Chapter 879
At this time, the man with a bad temper suddenly asked with a shocked expression: "Wait, the person you are talking about is called Chu Chen?"

"It's Chu Chen, what's the problem?" The clerk glanced at the man and felt that his behavior was a little strange.

At this time, the man's companion also reacted, looked at the man, and asked in a murmur, "Could it be the famous Jade King?"

"It seems to be the number one, the same name, the same age, and I heard that he also opened an antique shop, and the level of authenticating antiques is also very high... Yes! It must be him!"

The man slapped his thigh fiercely, with an annoyed look on his face. There was both the regret of passing by Chu Chen, and the depression of missing one or a few pieces, which might lead to high-grade jade wool, but the matter has come to this point. At this point, it was too late for him to regret.

"You say Chu Chen is the 'Jade King'? Stop joking, okay?!"

The conversation between the two made the old man feel that he had heard the funniest thing in the world. If it was said that Chu Chen was more proficient in gambling stones, he could at least believe it, but to say that Chu Chen is the "Jade King" is really not bragging. Make a draft!

The man glanced at the old man, and said with a sneer, "You think it's impossible, but it doesn't mean that others can't do it. Chu Chen is the one who can win the Emerald King in a bet. Isn't he worthy of the title of 'Jade King'? !"

"Which Jade King?" The old man was stunned.

"Besides the one from Burma, who else is known as the King of Emeralds?" the man said as a matter of course.

"Ah! Is it true?" The old man exclaimed, looking very unbelievable.

"Do I need to lie to you about this kind of thing? If you don't believe me, go to the stone circle and ask!"

The man curled his lips, and then ran out in a hurry: "Old Yu, hurry up, Jade King must have gone in another direction just now, hurry up now, maybe you can catch up..."

"Hey! Wait for me..."

The two left as if flying away, leaving only the old man and the clerk looking at each other. After a while, the old man gave the clerk a hard time, and said angrily, "Where is your usual cleverness? What is so important? Things, if you don’t know, tell me earlier!”

The clerk covered his head and said with a look of injustice: "I thought you knew, besides, I don't know what 'Jade King' Mr. Chu is!"

"You... really pissed me off!" The old man also knew that it was no wonder the clerk, and suddenly felt a little depressed, thinking that there might be tens of millions of emeralds slipping away from his hands, his heart couldn't help but start to bleed.Fortunately, he didn't know that he missed something more important, otherwise his heartache would make him vomit blood.

At the same time, Qi Baofu and Fang Jinbo were also sitting in their seats, with quite shocked expressions on their faces.

Zhao Xueyi laughed and said: "I told you two, don't be so surprised, anyway, as long as you remember, any abnormal things will become normal when they come to Xiaochen. For example, Xiaochen is still a very skilled doctor. How about it, doctor, don’t you think it’s unbelievable?”

At this time, Qi Baofu and Fang Jinbo were so shocked that they were numb, and they didn't know what words to use to express their feelings.

Chu Chen just sat there smiling and didn't speak. Chinese people pay attention to subtlety and euphemism in interpersonal communication, and they can't speak too clearly. In this situation, he doesn't need to say much.

At this time, Zhu Dafu relieved Chu Chen, smiled and waved his hands and said, "Okay, let's stop talking about this, and ask everyone, what are we going to do this afternoon?"

Wu Kewen asked, "Ah Chen, are you going to that peddler's place this afternoon?"

Before Chu Chen could answer, Zhao Xueyi asked curiously, "What peddler?"

"That's the case..." Chu Chen smiled and recounted what happened in the morning to everyone.

After hearing what happened, Uncle Wu and the others realized that Chu Chen was usually punctual, so he would be late anyway.

Zhao Xueyi sighed: "People nowadays can think of any crooked ways for some money. If this continues, our market will be polluted by these people sooner or later."

"Don't mention the future, how much better can it be now?"

Zhu Dafu shook his head. The antique market was originally full of various teachings and tricks, coupled with the current desire for materialism, all kinds of deceptions can be described as endless.

But this kind of thing, there is no way to think about it if you want to put an end to it. After all, there are always some people who like crooked ways in this world. The most important thing is to restrain your greed, and don't believe that there will be pies falling from the sky.

Zhu Dafu went on to say: "Xiao Fang, a newcomer like you really needs to pay attention. The usual habits can't be placed on the antique business. Newcomers like you like to listen to the letter most, so you should pay special attention to this point."

"Thank you Mr. Zhu, I will pay attention."

Fang Jinbo nodded his thanks again and again, and then he asked a little embarrassedly: "Then if I fancy something and am not sure whether it is true or not, is there any good way besides not buying it?"

Zhao Xueyi said with a smile: "You can use the method of 'return if fake' to test the seller. If the seller knows that it is a fake, they will usually shirk it. However, this method generally only works in antique shops, like small stalls. Yes, it is basically unlikely that he will agree to you."

After hearing this, Qi Baofu said: "This method is good, but there should not be many antique shops that can agree to this condition?"

"That's not necessarily true."

Chu Chen said: "Our non-governmental antique art transactions often don't use contracts in black and white. Reputation plays a very important role. Those antique operators who pay attention to personal reputation do not pay attention to immediate interests, but hope to be recognized in the circle. Build up your image of integrity. For example, if you go to my store or Uncle Zhao’s or Uncle Fu’s to buy antiques, if you want to ‘refund if fake’, that’s fine too.”

Zhao Xueyi took over the conversation and said, "Yes, yes! But if you want 'refundable if fake', then it must be more expensive. After all, we also want to make money to support our family."

Qi Baofu said with a smile: "Of course, otherwise it would be too greedy."

Fang Jinbo nodded in agreement. If you want real antiques, you have to rely on your own eyesight besides spending more money. It is definitely not feasible to imagine that there is a pie in the sky.

At this time, the waiter began to serve the dishes, and everyone put down what they were doing, and had a good meal.

After drinking and eating, Zhu Dafu asked again: "Xiao Chen, you didn't say anything just now, are you going to that peddler's place this afternoon?"

"This..." Chu Chen seemed a little hesitant.

"What's the matter, do you have other things to do? Or do you want to cut the wool first?" Uncle Wu asked.

"No!" Chu Chen shook his head and explained, "I just want to open that box to see if there is anything else in it."

"What?! Is there something else?" Everyone was stunned after hearing what Chu Chen said.

After a while, Uncle Wu asked curiously: "Xiaochen, how do you know what's in that box?"

As soon as the words fell, the others also looked at Chu Chen curiously.

"Hold on……"

Chu Chen stood up, took the rattan box first, opened the box, and then explained: "Look at this box, the rim is very thin, but it gets thicker and thicker as it goes toward the face. It is very unreasonable, generally speaking, the volume of the box should always be as large as possible, but this rattan box is specially made to be small, which is very unreasonable."

"In addition to this, the weight of the rattan box is also different from the actual one. On the surface, this rattan box has a history of at least 100 years, so it should be very dry, and the weight should be lighter. , I don’t know if you, Zuo Shan, have noticed that this rattan box is heavier than it actually is.”

Zuo Shan looked at the woolen material in the box, pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Young Master Chu, I really think this box should be heavier."

Speaking of this, everyone's faces were stunned, and Wu Ke said excitedly: "That is to say, there is indeed something hidden in this box?"

"It should be, but the specifics need to be opened and read to know." Chu Chen smiled slightly.

"Then what are you waiting for, let's go buy a saw now, just saw the box open!" Zhu Dafu said impatiently.

Zhao Xueyi shook his head when he heard the words: "You don't know, Lao Yi seems to be quite bold, but he is actually very narrow-minded. Although it is no problem for us to open the box here, but if this matter gets to his ears, it is not a problem at all. Great, let's talk about this when we go back!"

"What's the matter? If the item was sent by him, there might be some tongue-in-cheek, but this box was bought by Xiaochen, so what else can he talk about!"

Speaking of this, Zhu Dafu said to Chu Chen with a smile: "Xiao Chen, you did a good job, but what if he didn't say to give you this box?"

Chu Chen said with a smile: "We didn't have anything to store these woolen materials at the time, so it would be no problem to buy him a box. Besides, this box is not a good thing."

Zhao Xueyi said: "Don't talk about it, it's a good thing he said it himself, otherwise he might have to think about it."

At this time, Uncle Wu waved his hand and said, "Okay, anyway, the things are already in hand, one more thing is worse than one less thing, let's go back and unpack the box now!"

"That's right! It's important..." After finishing speaking, Zhao Xueyi and Zhu Dafu stood up one after another, and they couldn't wait to see what was hidden in the box.

Seeing that everyone was going out, Qi Baofu and Fang Jinbo seemed a little hesitant. After all, they were not very familiar with Chu Chen and others. What kind of baby is there, and I feel a bit in a dilemma for a while.
