Although this double eared vase looks very exquisite and authentic, Chu Chen was meticulous in identifying it. He first observed the bottom of the vase. He found that the six alum red seal characters on the bottom of the vase are very neat and powerful, which is a typical feature of the official kiln.
Then we can see that the baby is delicate and clean. As the quality of the baby in the Qianlong period became rough in the later period, we can see that this double eared bottle should be a work of the early and middle Qianlong period.
The body is the bone, and the glaze is the clothing. Of course, the glaze is the most important part when you look at the body. The glaze of this double ear bottle is firm, smooth and flawless. It can be said that it is the best product among the color bottles.
Finally, Chu Chen looked at the overall shape and the characteristics of the patterns and patterns. He used six words to describe them: dignified and grand, regular and exquisite, gorgeous style, sparing no cost, natural coating and perfect appearance. From these points of view, it should be a work of early Qianlong's fine workmanship, which is of great collection value.
Before buying antiques, the most taboo thing is to be surprised when identifying them. The seller can say that he is staring at your performance and asking for a price. If you show your love, the price will undoubtedly go up.
After carefully appreciating the binocular bottle, Chu Chen's face was still calm, and his exclamation didn't show at all. He put away his gloves and magnifying glass and said to Mr. Wang: "Mr. Wang, I like your binocular bottle, but I don't know how much you want."
This kind of tone undoubtedly gave Mr. Wang a feeling that if the price he offered was too high, the transaction would be impossible, so he pondered for a while and then said:
"Mr. Chu, if I hadn't been in a hurry to use money, I would not have sold this double eared bottle. I'd like to make a real price of 550000, OK?"
Chu Chen thought, you're in a hurry. If you're not in a hurry, how can I lower the price? So he said with a faint smile:
"I don't know if Mr. Wang knows. At the spring auction this year, he also auctioned a double eared bottle similar to this one. Do you know the final price?"
After a pause, he said, "660000! If you think about it, there will be Commission and personal income tax and other expenses for the auction, which is only 660000 yuan. Moreover, there will be time consumption for the auction, don't you think? "
"This..."
As soon as Mr. Wang heard of this incident, he was a little at a loss. He didn't doubt the truth of what Chu Chen said, because lying about this kind of thing would smash the signboard. At this time, his face showed a trace of sadness, and there was even sweat on his forehead, which showed his anxiety and worry.
After thinking about it for a while, Mr. Wang said to Chu Chen: "Mr. Chu, half a million, if you want, we'll trade right away. I'll leave right away. If not, I'll go to someone else."
Chu Chen thought that Mr. Wang should not be very familiar with antiques. Otherwise, I don't know. Even if there is only a few months' difference in the price of antiques, there will be quite a big change. If we go to auction again, the possibility that the price of a pair of eared bottles like this will not exceed 660000 is negligible.
Chu Chen didn't agree eagerly either. In that case, Mr. Wang might change his decision. So he thought for a while and then said with a smile:
"Mr. Wang, since you are in such a hurry, I'll buy it. We can sign the agreement now."
After hearing Chu Chen's promise, Mr. Wang was also relieved. Then the two sides reached a simple agreement, with Wu Shu as the witness of the agreement. After the agreement was signed, they went to the bank to transfer accounts, and then they said goodbye to each other.
Seeing that Mr. Wang had left in a hurry, Wu Shu patted Chu Chen on the shoulder happily and said, "OK, there's a way to do business now. In the current market, you can't win such exquisite Rouge without 600000 yuan. This time you've made a fortune."
But Chu Chen shook his head and said, "Uncle Wu, this is also because Mr. Wang is too eager to make money. Otherwise, he can't get the money. Besides, I don't intend to make money on this double eared bottle."
"Oh! To tell you the truth, I haven't asked who you are pulling fiber for, and where do you get 500000 yuan? I know you paid the rent and bought a computer some time ago. The money you picked up was not enough for 500000 yuan. "
Chu Chen was a little embarrassed to hear Uncle Wu mention it. He had not mentioned what happened to Uncle Wu in the past two days, so they talked while walking. When they returned to Uncle Wu's store, Chu Chen simply explained the two days' experience to Uncle Wu.
After hearing this, Uncle Wu's expression on his face was quite wonderful. Unexpectedly, Chu Chen's experience in just a few days was so incredible. Just a few days later, a millionaire was born so easily, which made Wu Shudu have a sense of vicissitudes. After digesting such surprising news, he jokingly said to Chu Chen:
"Xiao Chen, you didn't tell me such a good thing. Are you afraid that I would ask you to borrow money?"
When Chu Chen heard that Uncle Wu was talking about borrowing money, he remembered that it was time to go to England for a holiday again, which meant that Wu Ke's expenses for the next semester would be paid soon. At this time, Uncle Wu was most worried.Although the antique business seems to make a lot of money, its business is not stable. Sometimes it earns more, sometimes it earns less. Otherwise, there will not be such an old saying as opening an antique shop for half a year. Although Uncle Wu has opened an antique shop for nearly 20 years and made a lot of money, his tuition and living expenses are also very high.
Uncle Wu's savings over the years have almost been spent on Wu Ke. Although she works as a migrant worker abroad, after all, it's a drop in the bucket. Besides, Uncle Wu didn't want to let Wu Ke work very much. He always told her that her studies are important. He told her that as long as you study early and return home, you will save more money than you can work.
Wu Ke is right. If you jump one level, you can save at least 200000 yuan. If you rely on working, you don't know how hard you have to work to earn. Besides, it doesn't count the impact of study.
So she put all her energy into her study. Originally, she was smart. Although it was hard for her to jump the grade, she could still finish it hard. Last year, she finally achieved this goal, so that she could finish her studies next year after five years of undergraduate and postgraduate education.
Even so, the tuition fee in the last year is still a little nervous for Uncle Wu. He can't say it. He can only find a way to borrow money.
Thinking of this, Chu Chen was a little ashamed. Wu Shuping was so kind to himself when he needed help, but he didn't think of it at all. This is really wrong, so he explained with shame:
"no, I'm just too busy these days to come to Wu Shuping. It's not clear from the phone. Don't bother, Uncle Wu. Just give me Xiaoke's tuition. Anyway, I can't use so much money now. "
Hearing Chu Chen's words, Uncle Wu said with some relief: "Uncle Wu hasn't hurt you in vain for so many years, but how can Uncle Wu ask for your money? Besides, when you are old enough to start a family, should you also consider buying a house in the capital?"
"Uncle Wu, I'm only 21 years old. How can I get married? Besides, even if I want to buy a house, how can I use more than one million yuan? I'm not going to buy siheyuan. Besides, I can't afford to buy Siheyuan with my money. Well, Uncle Wu, don't mention it. I'll be responsible for Xiaoke's tuition. Besides, I'm in a hurry! "
Uncle Wu listened to Chu Chen's resolute tone, and saw that he didn't give up if you didn't agree with me, so he nodded and agreed, jokingly said: "well, can't I promise? But Wu Shu can't pay you back. Then you ask Xiao Ke. If she can't, she will mortgage herself to you. "
Chu Chen listened to Uncle Wu's words and said bitterly, "Uncle Wu, please forgive me. This money is my support for Xiao Ke's studies. I don't want her to return it."
As a matter of fact, the money also made Uncle Wu feel relieved. Although he sold some antiques, he didn't need to borrow much money, but although he treated Chu Chen like an air, he had the best face in front of others. Whether it was for him or his family to borrow money, he really couldn't pull down his old face.
Nothing is light, which is the portrayal of Uncle Wu now. He wants to laugh when he sees Chu Chen's sad face. However, the more he looks at him, the more he likes him. He wants Chu Chen to be his son-in-law, but he can't force this kind of thing. He can only see their own meaning.
Then Uncle Wu looked at the jar on the table, turned to Chu Chen and said, "you just said that president Zhao asked you to find this jar? You are not afraid that uncle Zhao will blame you for robbing him. "
Chuchen said with a smile: "Uncle Zhao can't blame me for this. Moreover, I think president Zhao should take this opportunity to test me. In the future, I should take the place of Mr. Dong. It's estimated that uncle Zhao will take care of this kind of work. After all, he has more channels than me."
Speaking of this, he asked another question: "by the way, Uncle Wu, are you clear that Zhao always is so dissatisfied with Dong?"
"I know a little about it."
Uncle Wu frowned and replied, "it is said that old Dong has joined a new auction house. Recently, some dragons are missing their tails, and people often can't see him. It is estimated that Zhao is always worried because he asked him for help several times, but he didn't agree. The specific situation is only clear to them."
Then he said with a smile: "this is also a good thing for you. In the future, if you stay with him, you will see the scene. On the one hand, you must step up the accumulation of knowledge. When it comes to identification, don't feel dark. Then you will lose your face to grandma's house."
"It doesn't matter whether you increase the price of this double eared bottle. Even if you don't increase the price, Mr. Zhao won't let you suffer. The specific situation is up to you."
