The world of film and television begins from childhood

Although he has also fallen in love with old objects over the years, to be honest, compared to the degree to which Old Master Guan and Han Chunming regard old objects as more important than anything else, he is far from reaching that level, nor does he have that kind of awareness.

His main task was to complete his own mission first, and then collect these national treasures so that they would not be lost abroad.

Of course, he never thought about making money from these, because he didn't need to make money from the antique business at all.

"Do you really want it?"

"Of course. If I didn't want it, why would I say it? You and Han Chunming have both become big collectors, so of course I want to try it too."

Zhou Chen said: "The most valuable item I have here can be sold for over 100 million yuan at an auction. Can you afford it?"

"what?"

Hearing this, Yang Huajian, Su Meng and Li Yuan were all stunned.

Although they all knew that some old items were very valuable, they were still shocked when Zhou Chen said the price was over 100 million.

"Over 100 million, Zhou, Zhou Chen, you are not kidding?" Li Yuan asked in disbelief.

"Do you think I'm kidding you? I really have treasures here that are worth hundreds of millions. Han Chunming and Broken Marquis wanted to trade for them for a long time, but I didn't agree to their offer."

"Which one?"

Yang Huajian asked impatiently.

Zhou Chen shrugged and said, "It would be boring if I told you. You have to discover this good stuff yourself. Only then will you feel a sense of accomplishment."

"You want to buy something from me, don't you? Okay, I'll give you a chance. You can pick one of the things here. No matter which one you pick, as long as you can afford the price, I can sell it to you."

Yang Huajian clapped his hands and said, "Do you keep your word?"

"Why are you in such a hurry? Listen to me. I can sell it to you, but there are conditions. I don't care whether the item you choose is old or not. I will sell it to you as old. As for the price, you can rest assured. I won't ask for an exorbitant price. It will be absolutely honest. Another thing is that the items you buy from me must not be sold abroad. If you agree to this, I can let you choose one."

Zhou Chen stated his conditions.

Upon hearing this, Yang Huajian frowned: "Regardless of whether it's true or not, you mean to test my eyesight?"

Zhou Chen chuckled and said, "Otherwise, do you think this business is easy to do? No matter who you are, if you want to really enter this business, you have to pay tuition. Do you dare?"

Yang Huajian did not answer immediately, but was thinking. His money did not come from the wind. If he spent a huge amount of money and bought a fake product, he would not only lose money but also lose face. This would be the most embarrassing thing.

As for choosing a fake and then returning it to Zhou Chen, he couldn't do such a thing. That would be more embarrassing than making a mistake.

Yang Huajian didn't say anything, but Su Meng suddenly said, "Zhou Chen, can I also participate? I can agree to all the conditions you just mentioned to Yang Huajian."

"You want it too?"

Zhou Chen looked at Su Meng in astonishment. He had no good feelings towards Su Meng and didn't want to have anything to do with her. He could consider selling it to Yang Huajian, but selling it to Su Meng...

Su Meng said with a smile: "Zhou Chen, no matter what, we have known each other for so many years, and my character is still trustworthy."

Zhou Chen felt amused in his heart, you still have any character?

"Hey, Su Meng, why are you suddenly interfering? This is a matter between me and Zhou Chen."

Yang Huajian was a little anxious. He was still thinking about it, but Su Meng wanted to interfere. Of course he was not happy about it.

Su Meng smiled and said, "It's business, our needs are the same, the key is to see what Zhou Chen thinks."

Yang Huajian was helpless, and turned to Zhou Chen and said, "I can agree, but one is not enough, I want to choose three."

"Oh, I was worried about you when I asked you to choose just one. You want to choose three. Do you really think the more you choose, the more chances you have of picking the genuine product? Aren't you afraid of choosing three new ones in a row?"

Yang Huajian was so angry that he said, "Stop talking nonsense. There are only three items. Just tell me whether you agree or not."

"If the value of the selection is over 100 million, you will also buy it?"

"Of course. I believe you won't lie to me. If I really get the chance, the worst that can happen is I'll just have to borrow money."

Yang Huajian said this with gnashing teeth. If he really had the foresight to choose the best, he would definitely sell it at a loss to get it. At worst, he could just sell it to Han Chunming and maybe even make a profit.

Looking at the mysterious and confident Yang Huajian, Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Okay, but three is too many. Two, just two."

"Okay, two is two."

Seeing Zhou Chen's firm attitude, Yang Huajian did not push any further and nodded in agreement.

Su Meng interrupted in time and said, "What about me, Zhou Chen, you can't be partial to me."

Li Yuan cheered from the side: "That's right, Zhou Chen, you can't reject us just because we are women."

Zhou Chen and Yang Huajian looked at each other, and finally nodded helplessly: "Okay, then you can choose two like Yang Huajian."

Su Meng immediately smiled, and then asked tentatively: "Then can I ask my uncle to come over?"

Zhou Chen understood what Su Meng meant. She wanted the good stuff from him, but was afraid that her eyesight was not good enough, so she wanted her uncle to come over for help.

He found it very funny. Your level, Su Meng, is not very good, and your uncle is not much better. The fakes in this room are different from those ordinary fakes outside. They are all carefully selected by him.

Many of them were bought by him, many were authenticated by system identification, and some were confirmed after being identified by Mr. Guan.

He said that he had seen Han Chunming and Polan Hou, and he was not bragging, it was real, and it was not just one or two things.

He has spent a lot of money buying antiques over the years, and he knows of several digging teams he has dealt with.

There are quite a few objects here, all of which were dug out from the pit and have never been seen in the outside world.

Zhou Chen had nothing to worry about regarding Su Meng and her uncle's eyesight.

"Okay, but as I said before, no matter if it's true or not, once the stuff is in your hands, it must not be circulated abroad. If I find out that you sold it to foreigners, don't blame me for being ruthless."

At the end of his speech, Zhou Chen's expression and tone became extremely cold, causing Su Meng and the other two to suddenly change their expressions.

Soon, Su Meng smiled: "Of course, I, Su Meng, am also a person who keeps my word."

After saying that, she picked up the phone and called her uncle.

Zhou Chen glared at Yang Huajian. This guy was always causing trouble for him. If Su Meng didn't choose the right thing, Han Chunming would definitely come to him to complain.

He was not afraid of Han Chunming, but he found it troublesome. However, today they were in his house and in the treasure room, so he couldn't really drive Su Meng away.

Su Meng's uncle hadn't arrived yet, so Han Chunyan came back to pick up the children. She was very surprised to see how lively the house was, but she still had to take care of the children, so after saying a few words to Yang Huajian, Su Meng and the others, she said goodbye and left the treasure room.

When Su Meng's uncle arrived, he was also shocked when he saw Zhou Chen's treasure room. Then after knowing the situation, he started to select with Su Meng.

Yang Huajian, Su Meng and Su Meng's uncle were choosing there, while Zhou Chen and Li Yuan were sitting aside chatting awkwardly.

Time passed slowly, and the three of them were not in a hurry at all. They selected patiently, but they all had frowns on their faces, as if they couldn't make up their minds.

Su Meng and her uncle Boss Liu were talking as they watched.

"Uncle, what do you think? They all look real to me. How can I choose?"

"It's really a bit mysterious. Is this really half true and half false? Isn't this false too true?"

Even though Boss Liu considered himself an expert, he was confused after seeing Zhou Chen's treasure. He was almost the same as Su Meng, and everything looked real to him.

"So what should we do? We pick the two we like best?"

"Actually, I told Zhou Chen that I was more interested in the collection worth over 100 million yuan, but I didn't know which one it was."

Boss Liu is very ambitious. What he wants most is the collection worth over 100 million yuan that Zhou Chen just mentioned, but he has never thought about whether he can afford it.

After more than two hours, Yang Huajian and Su Meng finally made their choice.

"Just these two pieces, Zhou Chen, give me a price." Yang Huajian placed the two pieces of collection he had chosen in front of Zhou Chen.

A bronze cup and a Song Dynasty Ru kiln porcelain.

Seeing these two things, Zhou Chen remained calm and looked at the two items chosen by Su Meng and her uncle.

One is Yuan blue and white porcelain, and the other is also porcelain, but from the Qing Dynasty.

Just as Zhou Chen was about to negotiate a price, Su Meng's uncle, Boss Liu, suddenly said, "Boss Zhou, I heard from Meng Meng that you have treasures worth over 100 million yuan. I wonder if you could let us see them and see if we have any ideas?"

Zhou Chen understood what Boss Liu meant, and he did not refuse.

"Since Boss Liu wants to see it, I must satisfy you. To be honest, I have more than one item worth over 100 million yuan. I will let you see one first."

When the four people present heard Zhou Chen say that there was more than one item worth over 100 million, they were all surprised.

If this is the case, then Zhou Chen’s treasure room must be worth at least hundreds of millions, right?

These antiques alone are worth more than their entire net worth. How can they not be shocked?

"Everyone, come this way."

Zhou Chen led them to a painting on the wall.

“Could it be this painting?”

Yang Huajian and the other three looked at the painting in front of them and looked at Zhou Chen in disbelief.

Because this painting looks really simple, it is just a well-behaved and cute little monkey lying on the mother monkey's body. It looks ordinary and there is nothing outstanding about it.

That’s why Yang Huajian and the other three couldn’t believe it. How could a painting like this be worth hundreds of millions?

Seeing the suspicion in their eyes, Zhou Chen smiled indifferently and didn't care.

Chapter 680: Eye-catching, grand scene, Master Guan's 'resurrection'

Zhou Chen is not bragging. If he does not rely on the system, his ability in antique identification may not be as good as Grandpa Guan and Han Chunming, but it is also very advanced.

At the very least, his level is much higher than Su Meng and her uncle, and he is more experienced in calligraphy and painting than Han Chunming and Grandpa Guang.

As for the reason, it is very simple. He has lived in the previous film and television world for decades many times. During this period, many people gave him a lot of calligraphy and paintings and things like the four treasures of the study in order to please him.

He himself has seen many excellent calligraphy and paintings, and knows many fine domestic calligraphy and paintings, which is his unique asset.

“Is there anything special about this painting?”

Yang Huajian stared at the painting for a long time but couldn't see anything special about it. The material seemed to be old, but calligraphy and painting should focus on content. He really didn't think that this pair of monkeys could have much value.

Su Meng and her uncle Boss Liu had similar thoughts as Yang Huajian and looked at Zhou Chen strangely.

"This painting is called 'Mother Monkey and Child'. It is not painted by a famous painter, but it has a different meaning..."

Zhou Chen originally wanted to explain it to them with great interest, but after saying a few words, he found that they still looked confused, and his interest immediately disappeared.

"Forget it. You may not know enough about this painting, so I won't say much. You just need to know that this painting is extremely valuable. Even if someone offers 100 million now, I won't sell it."

Collectors are proud of collecting good things, and Zhou Chen is no exception. If he meets someone who knows the subject, he can show off and feel satisfied.

But Su Meng and the others were obviously no longer in this group, so Zhou Chen didn't even have the intention to show off to them.

"I see you all chose porcelain. It looks like you are all quite interested in porcelain?"

Yang Huajian said with a smile: "Of course, these porcelains are so beautiful. The wisdom and craftsmanship of the ancients are really amazing. Even with the advanced technology now, we can make similar materials, but they don't have the soul that the old objects have."

Zhou Chen rolled his eyes and sounded like he knew the answer, but when you look at what you chose, he really couldn’t complain.

"Yang Huajian, the two items you chose, the bronze cup is very old, and the Ru kiln porcelain is very precious. If you really want them, take them for three million. If you don't want them, just put them back."

"Three million? So expensive?" Yang Huajian was shocked when he heard the price.

Su Meng said, "I think the Ru kiln you chose is very exquisite and should be worth the price."

Boss Liu also looked at it carefully and nodded in agreement.

Zhou Chen no longer wanted to comment, and said to Su Meng and the others, "The two pieces you two chose are priced at 4.5 million. If you want them, take them. If you don't want them, leave them."

Su Meng didn't say anything, but just looked at her uncle.

Boss Liu almost didn't hesitate and answered confidently: "No problem, I can sign the check now."

Yang Huajian hesitated for a moment, but finally made a decision.

"Okay, I'll take the stuff back first. I'll transfer the money to you tomorrow when the finance department starts work. Is that ok?"

"No problem. As I said before, once you leave this room, there will be no chance to regret. And you can't go against my previous conditions."

Yang Huajian and the other two nodded without hesitation. They had broadened their horizons today, and they were all thinking that there might be a chance to trade with Zhou Chen again in the future. So even if they were fooled, they didn't think about regretting it or complaining.

After sending the four of them away, Zhou Chen sighed and said, "Expert? Haha."

Nowadays, anyone can be called an expert. No wonder the uncle and niece Su Meng were defrauded of tens of millions by such a simple scam.

It would be bad enough that he has no vision and his brain is not flexible enough, but more importantly, he is too greedy.

On the way back, Su Meng's uncle, Boss Liu, was still looking at the item in his hand seriously.

"It's a good thing, it's really a good thing. It's worth the money. If it's put up for auction, it will definitely sell for a high price."

"Uncle, don't even think about it. Zhou Chen has warned us not to sell this stuff abroad, otherwise we won't be able to work with him again in the future."
