Jianbao life

Chapter 893

Early the next morning, Uncle Wu and the others flew back to Beijing, while Chu Chen and Wu Ke spent another four days in Star City to their heart's content, having a great time.

Just when Chu Chen was about to return to Beijing on Friday, on Thursday night, the businessman named Xiao Ma called. Chu Chen remembered that last Saturday he had promised to go to Xiao Ma to see him. collection.Anyway, there was nothing important recently, so he readily agreed and planned to meet at Qingshuitang Antique Market tomorrow.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Chu Chen, Wu Ke and Zuo Shan took a car to Qingshuitang Antique Market.

It's also a coincidence that today is the Qingshuitang Antique Market, which also has a market. When Chu Chen and the others first arrived at the market, there were quite a lot of customers in the market, but after all, it was Friday, and there were still fewer people than last time.

Anyway, there was plenty of time, so Chu Chen took the lead walking all the way to Xiao Ma's booth, but he didn't know whether it was bad luck today, or the good things had been sold out, and along the way, Chu Chen only got two little things. That's all.

Of course, there are only so many good things in the world, and Chu Chen doesn't expect to have all the good things in his pocket.

Xiao Ma's booth was almost at the end of the antique market, and the location was a little remote. When Chu Chen and the others walked there talking and laughing, there were not many buyers, only two, and according to Chu Chen's nearly five Years of experience as a hawker, one of them has no idea of ​​buying yet.

Sure enough, as Chu Chen thought, as soon as he greeted Xiao Ma, the man stood up, clapped his hands and left.

Another buyer, Chu Chen, felt that he should be a novice. This can be seen from his rusty appreciation techniques. Generally speaking, this kind of human traffickers like it very much, because it is very easy to fool.Especially folk collectors who consider themselves "masters" after reading a few cultural relics, dealers will like it even more.

Although this person seems to be a newcomer, Chu Chen has to say that he is lucky. As soon as he greeted Xiaoma, the buyer took the best item from Xiaoma's booth. Come on, watch carefully.

However, what made Chu Chen feel strange was that at first, the buyer's face still had a hint of joy, but after a while, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and his expression began to look hesitant and tangled.

In the buyer's hand is a straight barrel-shaped pen holder, the outer wall of which is lightly engraved with Tongyin bamboo and stone, a corolla rooster, and a poem engraved on it.

This thing can be described as rich in pictures and texts, elegant and refined, the knife is simple, the effect is vivid, the writing is also beautiful and dignified, the paste is calm, quiet and lovely.

Even if Chu Chen didn't take a closer look, he knew that this was a work of a famous artist who had been around for generations. He really couldn't figure it out. So well preserved, too bright?
Seeing that the buyer hesitated for more than ten minutes without deciding whether to buy or not, Xiao Ma couldn't bear it anymore, and said with a smile: "Brother, I got this pen holder from an old lady's house. Yes, her ancestors have had high officials, so you can rest assured!"

The buyer frowned immediately when he heard the words, and found that Chu Chen next to him was staring at the thing in his hand, admiring it, as if he liked it, so he put the pen holder back to its original position and said, "Forget it! The things are gone!"

After finishing speaking, he stood up and prepared to leave, but before taking a few steps, he turned around again and said to Chu Chen: "Young man, you look talented, what's not to do, you have to be 'trust' Ah! I advise you, change careers as soon as possible, before it’s too late!"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Chu Chen to speak, he left quickly, which made Chu Chen and the others look puzzled.

After a while, Wu Ke laughed and said, "I didn't expect our Chu expert to be taken as a trustee. I really laughed to death!"

Chu Chen had a wry smile on his face, he really didn't know what to say about it.Staring at the things in other people's hands and appreciating them will also be regarded as trust, which is the first time he has encountered it in so many years.

Xiao Ma smiled and said: "Maybe he misunderstood my words, but I really got this pen holder from an old lady. Even if it is not a good thing, at least it is not bad. I think he is a trick Hearing too much about things, maybe overreacting!"

Buy gold in troubled times, and collect it in Shengshixing.With the improvement of living standards, people are becoming more and more interested in collections such as antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and the market has become more and more popular.At the same time, with the entry of some newcomers, the chaos in the antique industry has intensified, and various scams have emerged in endlessly.

Generally speaking, veterans in the antique industry like the kind of collectors who consider themselves "masters", but their appraisal level is obviously half-baked, but they are full of confidence and want to "find leaks". In the eyes, it is a real mallet.

The method of slaughtering customers in the antique market is very simple, and it is nothing more than two tricks: one is "borrowing a knife to kill people", and the other is "deception".

"Borrowing a knife to kill someone" is to use "entrustment" to trap buyers.The initial "entrustment" came from the street vendors or guys around, but it didn't work out later, because it's not good to always show a familiar face, and it's easy to pass through.

With such concerns, an industry emerged as the times require, that is, professional "care".Most of these people also come from rural areas, and their task is to walk around the market every day.When a stall owner needs them to "fish", they will come together and lure buyers with words such as "I have visited the market and finally saw a good thing". .

The other trick of "playing tricks" depends on performance skills.For example, "I got this stuff from so-and-so with great difficulty. If I didn't see you as an expert, I wouldn't take it out." When saying these words, at the same time, I made a gesture of looking left and right, afraid of being heard by others.

Generally, after these two tricks, the sticks will be bought in [-] out of [-]. Even if the price is high, these people must feel very satisfied in their hearts.

However, if these two tricks are used too much, someone will always sum them up, and if they have good intentions, they will remind friends who are new to the industry to pay attention.However, for newcomers, they will not remember the lesson unless they have been fooled a few times, so I remind you to remind them that this kind of scam should still be stepped on.

Of course, some people kept this reminder in mind and avoided many losses for themselves, but if they were too suspicious, they would undoubtedly miss a lot of opportunities, just like the buyer Chu Chen and the others met.

After laughing, Xiao Ma said, "Mr. Chu, why don't we go to my place?"

"Wait a minute!" Chu Chen waved his hand, then picked up the pen holder, and said, "Let me take a look at this pen holder first."

Xiao Ma was slightly taken aback, he really didn't expect that Chu Chen also fell in love with this pen holder, and quickly said with a smile: "Okay, just look at it..."

Chu Chen checked the inside and outside of the pen container, and found that there was an inscription of "Yun Gu" at the bottom of the poem.

Yun Gu is the character of Yang Qian, a famous seal carver in the Qing Dynasty. Yang Qian's family has a long history and inherited his father's business.

Yang Qian's seal cutting was very famous at that time. Among the "Eight Monsters of Yangzhou", the "Jin Ji Jin" seal in Jinnong Baiwen and the "Jin's Shoumen Calligraphy and Painting" seal in Zhu Wen were all engraved by Yang Qian. Seal" also came from the hands of Yang Qian.Yang Qian had a close relationship with Luo Pin, and he and Jin Nong also sang poems with each other.Yang Qian's seal cutting had a profound influence on later generations, and Zhao Zhichen among the famous "Eight Masters of Xiling" all imitated his seals.

After appreciating treasures, Chu Chen can finally confirm that this is Yang Qian's authentic work. It has a history of two or three hundred years, and it is not easy to preserve it so well.Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the buyer just now became suspicious, and he was too suspicious, which led to the misunderstanding just now.

Chu Chen was still very satisfied with the pen holder in his hand, so he said, "Xiao Ma, let's make a price."

Just now, Xiao Ma had already thought about the price, but he was worried that Chu Chen would not be satisfied with the price he gave, so he hesitated and said, "Mr. ?”

"Okay! That's it. Will I give you the money now or later?" You know, the current market price of the pen holder is estimated to be around [-] to [-], so how could Chu Chen not agree.

"Just give it together later..." Seeing that Chu Chen was so forthright, Xiao Ma was also very happy. He hurriedly packed up his things, took Chu Chen and others outside the market, and prepared to go to the place where he lives now.

However, Chu Chen and the others didn't see it. The process of their calling happened to be seen by the buyer just now.

Seeing this situation, the buyer said to his friend with some righteous indignation: "Old Liang, I didn't expect that the antique market is really full of scammers like you said. If I hadn't been careful just now, I would have been cheated a long time ago!"

It was a coincidence that the old Liang mentioned by the buyer happened to be one of the witnesses that day. At this time, he was looking at the direction Chu Chen and the others left, and felt very envious that Xiao Ma could get close to Chu Chen again.

The buyer's words brought Lao Liang back to his senses, and he asked curiously, "What's going on?"

The buyer angrily recounted what happened just now, and said, "I wasn't [-]% sure about that young man's trust, but I didn't expect them to rent a car and leave together brazenly just now!"

"That's too...huh?"

Just as Lao Liang wanted to agree, he suddenly thought of a possibility, and quickly asked, "Does the young man you mentioned look like this..." As he spoke, he described Chu Chen's appearance.

"Yes, this is this person!" The buyer nodded repeatedly: "Old Liang, you know him too, it seems that this kid is still a habitual offender!"

"What kind of crime are you used to!" Lao Liang slapped his thigh, and said with a bit of heartache: "That is Teacher Chu, Lao Chen, you must have missed something!"

"Which Teacher Chu?" The buyer was taken aback, somewhat confused about what was going on.
