Chapter 24

"How's it going? Do you want this seal? I'll tell you, it's really handed down by my ancestors. If I don't want my granddaughter to go to university to be rich, I really don't want to sell it. When my father handed it to me, he told me that it was very precious. Don't fool me! " Finally, the old man said with certainty.

"Yes!" Chu Chen affirmative answer way: "old gentleman, that you give a real price, also save you to toss back and forth is not, after all is a hot day."

"I don't know anything about antiques, but after all, it's something handed down from my family. My father used to be a scholar, and he said it's a good thing. Sir, how about twelve thousand?"

However, after offering the price, the old man took another look at the seal, probably because he thought that the seal really didn't sell well, and Chu Chen looked thoughtful, so he quickly changed his tongue and said, "maybe it's 10000 yuan, no matter how little it is, I won't sell it."

When Chu Chen heard the price, he was very happy that the seal was exquisitely carved, made of good materials, and in good condition. In this way, he could easily sell it for 70000 yuan.

And it's not accurate to say that it's a seal, because there's no inscription on the bottom of the seal, which means that the seal is still a kind of embryo, which can add a lot to its price. If you meet people in need, you can sell it at a good price.

So Chu Chen deliberately thought for a moment, then nodded and agreed: "OK, ten thousand yuan, let's make a deal, but old man, do you have any box for me to put it."

The old man said awkwardly, "I'm really sorry. Originally, it was put in a brocade box, but during that period, it was buried in the ground together with the box. Later, when it was taken out, the box was rotten. Usually, it was wrapped in a piece of red cloth. I thought that the red cloth was not good-looking, so I found a newspaper casually."

It turns out that Chu Chen knows why this seal embryo looks grey at first sight. It turns out that it has been re-used in the soil. Originally, this seal embryo is used in the oil extraction method, and it looks like it has been in the soil. No wonder the people in the shop just now think it is a modern imitation.

After Chu Chen set up a simple document, two people hand pay, hand delivery, this business became.

Chuchen and his family spent more than 10000 yuan for their meal yesterday, but the money around them is not enough today. So he went to the bank again this morning and took 50000 yuan. Before he took the goods, he went to 10000 yuan again. He thought, money is really useless. However, if the old ones don't go and the new ones don't come, he would like to be useless all the time.

It's a few steps away from Chu.

This is an antique shop with a very small door, and its location is not very impressive. In addition, there is no shop name. Generally, few people pay attention to it. However, the owner of this antique shop is not very concerned about it because it is a wholesale shop.

The inside of the shop is not as small as the outside. It has about 40 square meters. The air conditioner is on in the shop. When you enter the shop, a cool air comes to your face, which makes the hot air of summer disappear.

Speaking of the air conditioner, Chu Chen really has some complaints, because he doesn't install air conditioner in his rented place. It's easy to say in winter that if there is heating, he can only use the electric fan to blow in summer. The person who blows is dizzy.

She wanted to ask Aunt Zhang to install an air conditioner, but she said that young people were afraid of this heat. She didn't come here like that when there was no air conditioner. Although the words are good, but now that we have air conditioning, is it still hot and dry?

Chu Chen originally wanted to install an air conditioner by himself, but later he thought about it. If he bought a new house, he would not tear down an old air conditioner for use. Would it be cheaper then, Aunt Zhang? Fortunately, he had some achievements in practicing neijiaquan at that time. The heat of summer had less influence on him. These years have passed like this.

The owner of the shop is Chen Dewang. Today, he is 65 years old. Chu Chen calls him old Chen. At this time, old Chen is half lying on a reclining chair, drinking tea and reading books. He looks very happy.

"Good morning, Mr. Chen. I'll trouble you again today."

"Oh, it's Xiao Chen. Are you coming to pick up the goods today?" Asked Chen Dewang.

Before Chu Chen nodded, Chen Dewang saw that he was holding something wrapped in a newspaper and asked curiously, "eh, Xiao Chen, what's the good thing in your hand?"

Chuchen smiles and puts the print embryo on the table. He doesn't say much, so he asks him to check it.

After a while, after careful observation, Chen Dewang put the seal embryo on the table again and exclaimed, "it's not bad. It's a green jade ancient dragon button seal embryo of the Ming Dynasty. It's a good thing to open the door to modern times. Where did you get it from?"

So Chu Chen told him what had happened, and Chen Dewang said to him happily:

"OK, Xiao Chen, you have good eyesight. The store you mentioned should be Lao Zhang ' How about that. By the way, what are you going to do? "

Chu Chen saw him say so, said: "I was going to find a suitable opportunity to change hands, since you like Chen, I'll give it to you.""OK, how about 120000?" Chen Dewang said, looking at Chu Chen's hesitation, he said, "why, do you think there is less money?"

Chuchen immediately shook his head and said, "no, I don't think it will be so much."

Chen Dewang said with a smile, "well, it's a deal. Do you still think I'm going to suffer?"

After hearing this, Chu Chen felt his head and giggled. Then they quickly signed the transfer agreement. Chen Dewang wrote a check for 120000 and handed it to him.

To identify the authenticity of the check, Chu Chen had asked someone for advice before. At a glance, he knew it was a real check. After receiving the check, he asked curiously, "Mr. Chen, when are you going to use the check?"

Chen Dewang said with some pride: "our Chinese citizens in the new century, of course, have to keep pace with the times. You are not as old as Uncle Wu and old Zhu. Uncle Wu is still better and can learn computer. Old Zhu is really old."

This kind of thing, Chu Chen certainly can't say anything, can only some smirk to nod to say is.

Chen Dewang waved his hand and said, "well, you don't want to accompany me. If you want to take something, you can go inside and choose it by yourself."

Most of Chen Dewang's stores are modern imitations, and the price is more expensive than other places, but one thing is good, that is, they are imitations, especially some of them are very exquisite, which is exactly what Chu Chen sees.

As I said earlier, Chu Chen's business is quite regular. Although he doesn't tell others whether things are antiques or not when he's picking stalls, the products he sells are pretty good. There's no such thing as crooked melons and cracked dates, or it's just a fake.

Chu Chen always believed that since the customer bought something from him, even if it has no cultural value, it must have certain artistic value, which is also a kind of respect for customers. This is also a simple idea of him, or the bottom line of life.

People say that good people are not rewarded well. In fact, this sentence may not be accurate in business. The truth is that harmony makes money. Although chuchen may not make as much money as others, over time, there are more regular customers or repeat customers, which is more than others.

After a while of picking and choosing, Chu Chen had already selected most of his targets. Under the influence of Uncle Wu, he used to focus on porcelain business, so most of the goods he took this time were all kinds of new and exquisite imitation porcelain, and the others were jade and bronze.

As for painting and calligraphy, Chu Chen didn't take them here. Instead, he went to buy them from an acquaintance in Nancheng. After all, he specializes in painting and calligraphy. Although Chen Dewang also has paintings and calligraphy here, he either can't afford them or can't get into his eyes.

"Eh!"

All of a sudden, Chu Chen was attracted by a piece of jade, which was carved with black and white jade.

Black and white jade is actually black jade with white jade bottom, which is also called blue and white jade in the market.

Blue and white jade is in white jade or blue and white jade appear black star, or cloud or strip black grain, can be called blue and white jade, blue and white jade if black (gray) white clear, is what people call black and white jade.

At first glance, the surface of this jade pendant is gray and not very bright, which gives people a dull feeling. But if you look at it carefully, you can still see that it is extraordinary. So he took it without hesitation. As soon as he got the jade pendant, the power began to move. There was no doubt that it was an old jade.

Chu Chen didn't care about other problems. He raised his jade pendant and observed it carefully.

This jade pendant is a transparent carved round one, with cirrus pattern as the frame decoration. The transparent carving in the frame is the pattern of two dragons playing with pearls. The overall line is smooth and the carving is powerful. It should be said that it has certain skills.

On the whole, it should be a jade pendant carved in the middle or late Qing Dynasty. As for why Chu Chen could not accurately determine, it was also because he was not as proficient in jade as porcelain. Later, it was determined that the jade pendant was a carved dragon pattern Pei in the middle of Qing Dynasty.

As for why this jade pendant looks dull, it should be a long time without wearing it. As long as you wear it for a period of time, it will be another scene. But Chu Chen was still a little strange. Why did Chen put this jade pendant in the imitation? According to his eyesight, it shouldn't be.

For a moment, Chu Chen put the problem aside. Now there is a strange phenomenon that makes him very concerned.

The feeling of being attracted by the jade pendant just now really made him feel confused, and this feeling didn't appear for the first time today. Just now, it appeared when he found the imprint embryo. At that time, he didn't care. He thought it was an accidental phenomenon. Now it seems that there must be something wrong with it. He didn't find it.
