Chapter 965 There is news
Chu Chen continued: "Actually, I think that if the price of walnuts is high enough, there will be another situation that will cause the walnuts to shrink. However, this abbreviation is an abbreviation with quotation marks."

Wu Ke was a little strange after hearing this: "What's going on?"

Chu Chen said with a smile: "It's very simple. Didn't I tell you before that there are three sizes of walnuts. For example, although there is only a millimeter difference between 44 and 45, the price is much different for this millimeter. Some profiteers will make plans on this."

Wu Ke said with some surprise: "It shouldn't happen."

Chu Chen chuckled and said, "The antique market is full of dragons and snakes. Some people can do anything for money. No one does it now because the value of walnuts is not high, but a pair of ordinary walnuts will cost hundreds of dollars." block, it is not necessarily so. So I think that although this situation cannot be said to happen [-]%, the possibility is still very high.”

Needless to say, Chu Chen was really right about this point. As the market for Wenwan walnuts has risen, when better walnuts cost at least a few thousand yuan a pair, a batch of calipers did appear on the market. Very good, there is no error, but the manufacturer designed it when making the caliper. When measuring between 40 mm and 50 mm, it is a full 1 mm larger.It is a caliper tailor-made for walnut sellers. "

If you encounter this kind of caliper, the walnut was measured at 45 at that time, go home and change your own caliper, and immediately change to 44.This kind of loss is not too heavy. If the 50 becomes 49, the money lost will be a lot.

Therefore, if you want to buy walnuts, it is best to bring your own tools, or buy them at a well-known antique shop, so that even if something goes wrong with the walnuts, you will not even be able to find the responsible person.

Next, the three of them walked around the antique market, but perhaps it was because Chu Chen's good luck had run out when he was betting on green skins. In the whole morning, he didn't even buy a single thing he liked. Not to mention finding clues related to the mission.

At noon, Chu Chen found a clean snack bar and had a meal of local specialty snacks.

After the meal, Wu Ke asked, "Achen, where are we going this afternoon?"

Chu Chen said, "Let's go shopping around the places we didn't visit in the morning."

Wu Ke frowned and said: "But we don't have a goal in this stroll, and we have to rely on luck to find clues. Isn't it too passive?"

Chu Chen was also quite helpless about this, and said: "There is no other way, this is the only way to go for now. Let's go shopping for another day tomorrow. If we haven't found it yet, we..."

As soon as he said this, his cell phone rang. Looking at the number, it turned out that it was Mr. Liu calling, so he quickly picked it up.

After a while, Chu Chen put away the phone after finishing the call, and said to Wu Ke with a smile, "Okay, we have a clue."

Wu Ke quickly asked: "What clue? Could it be that the group has already found it?"

Chu Chen said with a smile: "The main character has not been found yet, but according to the current progress, it should be soon."

Wu Ke looked a little disappointed after hearing this. She didn't know what happened these two days. She was a little homesick, so she wanted to go back early, so she hoped to find that group of people as soon as possible.

After a while, she cheered up and asked, "Then Mr. Liu called you, what's the matter?"

Chu Chen said: "The master asked colleagues here to help inquire about the situation, and found that there was something suspicious in an antique shop, so he wanted me to go over and help identify it."

He also saw Wu Ke's thoughts, and then said: "Ke Ke, let's go home tomorrow afternoon at the most, do you think it's okay?"

Wu Kewen felt a little embarrassed, and said: "Ah Chen, it's okay, I'm just a little homesick, just call Mom at night and just chat."

Chu Chen said softly: "Okay, we really don't have much to do here, we will definitely be able to go back tomorrow..."

After comforting Wu Ke, everyone set off for the antique shop Mr. Liu mentioned on the phone.

The antique shop Mr. Liu mentioned is in another antique market, but the two antique markets are not far apart, and it takes less than 5 minutes to drive there.

When Chu Chen and the others came to the antique shop Mr. Liu mentioned, there was a boss who was receiving a customer.

The boss is an old man in his 50s, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, speaking slowly and with a refined demeanor.The guest was a middle-aged man in his 40s, who seemed to be well-dressed.

The middle-aged man was picking up a hexagonal narcissus basin with yellow-ground famille rose and lotus patterns, and was looking at it carefully. When he saw the end, he felt a little fond of it, so he asked the boss how much he would give up.

There is a rule in the antique trade, the buyer and the seller should not have a third party present during the transaction, the boss who does not understand the rules will persuade them to leave, and the boss who understands the rules will actively avoid them.Because transaction information is leaked, it is very easy to cause various disputes and misunderstandings.

Seeing that the two started to negotiate the price, Chu Chen took Wu Ke and Zuo Shan to the side to avoid it, so as not to let the boss personally persuade him.

"It's [-] for you."

Seeing that Chu Chen and the others were following the rules, the boss was quite satisfied, but he didn't know that with Chu Chen's hearing ability, he could still hear what they were saying.

"Ah! It's so expensive!" The middle-aged man looked horrified, expressing that he couldn't accept the price.

It doesn't matter, in the antique business, bargaining is a matter of course, the boss patiently explained:
"Sir, this narcissus basin is from an official kiln of the last generation. It is very rare in shape and color, and [-] yuan is really not expensive."

Earlier, Chu Chen also took a little look at the narcissus basin.

This narcissus basin is folded along the mouth, and the whole body is hexagonal, with a curved abdomen, tied shanks, and six ruyi-shaped feet.The inner and outer bottom of the plate are painted with pine and green colors, the edge of the plate is decorated with blue flowers and plants, and gold powder beading patterns, the outer wall is yellow ground with colorful lotus patterns, and the heads and feet of six alum red and gold ruyis are connected by blue beaded girdles.

The decorative brushstrokes of the narcissus basin are exquisite and neat, as if carved and embroidered, and more than ten kinds of pastels are carefully selected and arranged.Indeed, as the boss said, it is a rare artifact.

Of course, the boss's asking price is also a bit expensive. Chu Chen thinks that the market price is around [-] to [-], which is still appropriate.

Originally, Chu Chen felt that since the middle-aged man liked this narcissus basin, he should pay his own psychological price, or put it back if he couldn’t afford it, but the middle-aged man suddenly asked: “Boss, I don’t know How much did you pay for the narcissus basin?"

When the boss heard this, his face immediately changed, and he suddenly took the narcissus basin from the middle-aged man's hand, put it back in its original place, and never looked at the middle-aged man again.

This made the middle-aged man very embarrassed, and in the end he became even more annoyed. As he walked out of the store, he said angrily, "What! It's just asking for a price. If it's inconvenient, just say it or not, and put on airs!"

Seeing this situation, Chu Chen shook his head secretly. This middle-aged man violated the rule of not being allowed to inquire about the original purchase price of items in the antique shop, and he didn't even know it. This person was either a novice or didn't know the rules.

You must know that an antique in an antique shop is purchased by the boss's eyesight, luck, chance and many other factors. The price may be unique, and it also contains the boss's years of experience And a lot of energy, effort and tuition fees have been paid, so it is immeasurable.

And if a buyer goes to inquire about the purchase price of the boss, it is like a friend buying a tool from the boss of the tool factory. The selling price of the tool is 8000. But the person calculated the purchase price of steel and labor costs. Once calculated, he felt that the cost was less than 5000, so instead of being grateful at all, he complained.Do you think the boss was wronged?
The rules of the antique business are exactly the same. The boss buys things based on his own experience and channels, so why should he tell you the purchase price?Moreover, it is normal to drill holes in the antique business. What if the item you choose happens to be expensive for the boss?If you ask this, isn't it to expose the other party's scars and make yourself boring?

After the guests left in embarrassment, the boss smiled apologetically at Chu Chen and the others: "I was rude just now, but this person really doesn't understand the rules! Even brothers should follow these rules."

Chu Chen smiled slightly: "Maybe he is a novice."

The boss shook his head: "Forget it, let's not talk about it, little brother, I don't know what you want?"

"I really like that narcissus basin, how much is the minimum price?"

Chu Chen was not in a hurry to talk about the business. He also liked the narcissus basin just now, so he was going to make a deal first.He took the narcissus basin in his hand and looked it over carefully, then asked the price.

The boss smiled slightly, and still offered 8000 yuan. Chu Chen knew the value of the item, so of course he couldn't agree to it, so the two sides went back and forth for a while, and finally settled the deal at [-] yuan.

After the transaction was completed, the boss asked with a smile: "Little brother, I don't know what else you need. If you like porcelain, I still have a few treasures here."

Chu Chen smiled and said, "Boss, let's not talk about business. In fact, I made an appointment to come here to see something."

The boss was startled when he heard the words, and asked a little strangely: "Little brother, we should have just met, it seems that I haven't asked you out before, right?"

"My name is Chu Chen. I don't know if you have any impression, boss." Chu Chen introduced himself with a smile.

The boss was still a little confused at first, but after a while, he suddenly said: "Hey! You are Mr. Liu's closed disciple! Why didn't you say it earlier!"

Chu Chen smiled and said, "Isn't it just that I saw something I like, and I want to get it first before talking about it."

The boss shook his head and said, "Brother Chu, aren't you just burying me? If others know that I'll sell you [-] yuan for this narcissus pot, then you can't say that I'm open to money!"

Chu Chen smiled and waved his hand: "Let's return one size to one size. I think this narcissus basin forty-eight thousand is quite suitable, and if it is at an auction, it is impossible to buy such a thing for four thousand eighty thousand." .”
