Chapter 47

"Hey, little brother, don't stand there. The door won't open for the moment."

Just as Chu Chen was standing in front of the door, he was annoyed. Suddenly, the owner of an antique shop next door waved to him.

The boss's words make chuchen feel very puzzled, what is temporarily unable to open, is old Zhou's shop closed? I haven't heard of it before! So he went into the antique shop next door, ready to ask.

"This boss, I don't know what you call him. I'd like to ask you what you mean by what you said just now."

"Ha ha, my name is Feng. You can also call me Lao Feng, little brother. You are the young man who often comes to Lao Zhou to pick up goods. Haven't you heard that Lao Zhou jumped out of the building the day before yesterday?" After that, boss Feng shook his head and sighed.

"Is Lao Zhou dead? How do you say that? A few days ago, I heard one of my elders say, "Lao Zhou is going to make a lot of money. How can he just leave?" Chu Chen was surprised at first, and then he felt very surprised.

Boss Feng shook his head and sighed: "Hey, who says it's not? The problem is that it's making a lot of money."

Hearing this, Chu Chen asked strangely, "what's the matter, boss Feng? If it's convenient, can you tell me?"

"Ha ha, OK. Anyway, it's very hot and there's not much business. I'll tell you." With that, boss Feng poured a cup of tea for chuchen.

"Lao Zhou, this time he lost his mind and stepped on a" landmine ". He lost 600000 yuan. As you know, Lao Zhou still had a black sheep in his family. The 600000 yuan was all his property. When Lao Zhou couldn't think of it on Monday, he jumped down from the upstairs. At that time, he couldn't bear to see it!" Boss Feng sighed with regret.

Old Zhou's original name is Zhou Xicai. He is nothing else. He is greedy for money and likes to take advantage of others. Moreover, he has a very big problem, he likes to kill acquaintances.

No matter what industry you are in, this is the most annoying, especially in the field of antiques, which stresses reputation and reputation. In the long run, you can imagine the business in his shop.

Originally, Lao Zhou's shop was located in Liulichang, and his business was not bad. Because of his fault, the shop couldn't go on, so he moved it to Baoguo temple. At this point, he finally learned some lessons, but also a little bit of convergence, business is mediocre.

Uncle Wu and old Zhou are old friends. They were friends growing up together when they were children, so old Zhou never knew Uncle Wu well. Besides, the paintings and calligraphy in his shop are really good. That's why Wu Shu asked Chu Chen to come here to pick up the goods. Otherwise, because of Chu Chen's character, he would not come here to pick up the goods if he knew he liked to kill acquaintances.

As for Lao Zhou's experience of stepping on land mines, it was also very simple. On the evening of Tuesday this week, Lao Zhou closed a little late because of something. At this time, a woman led a boy to him.

Both of them were dressed like countrymen. The woman didn't look very big, but her face was full of wrinkles, and she was very sad. The little boy looked like he was about five or six years old, and his eyes were closed all the time. It should be that there was something wrong with his eyes.

The woman took out a piece of jade from a cloth bag beside her and said to Lao Zhou timidly, "Lao Boss, I I have something here. Do you want it? "

"Go Well

After all, Lao Zhou has opened a shop for more than ten years, and he is also an old man. Seeing this situation, he thinks that he can't deal with "land mines". However, when he looks up at the things in the woman's hand, his heart can't help contracting a few times. With more than ten years of antique experience, he knows something about other aspects besides calligraphy and painting.

At first glance, this thing looks like a jade beast Jue of Hongshan culture, which is also known as the jade pig dragon. The more it looks, the more it looks, the more excited Lao Zhou is. If this one is a real jade pig dragon, it's worth a million at least.

After the performance of the woman seems to be an honest man, she saw the wave of Lao Zhou, put the jade pig dragon back in her pocket, quietly ready to turn and go.

"Oh, wait a minute, elder sister."

Since Lao Zhou had doubts about this jade pig dragon, he would not let it go easily, so he stopped her. In fact, at this point, Lao Zhou had been trapped with his greed.

"Elder sister, you said that your stone would be taken out?" Lao Zhou is also very cunning. First of all, he doesn't say it's jade.

"It's not a stone, it's jade." The woman raised her voice when she answered, but her voice was still full of timidity.

Old Zhou was also thick skinned and said with a smile, "didn't you just look at it a few times and didn't see it clearly? If you want to do it, please let me do it. "

After that, seeing the woman's puzzled appearance, he explained, "just show it to me."

"Oh, show it to you. It's no problem, but don't say it's a stone, boss."

Then he took yuzhulong out of the bag and handed it to Lao Zhou.

Looking at women's appearance on Monday, she knew that this was not what a person in the trade should do. As I said earlier, if she was a person in the trade, she would put things aside before she would let him take them. However, if he knew what happened to Chu Chen, he would not think so.Lao Zhou took over yuzhulong and looked at it carefully. The more he looked at it, the more genuine it was. He thought, "this yuzhulong looks like a genuine product that has been opened to the outside world. And judging from its appearance, it can sell for at least one million yuan. If you go to an auction company, it can easily sell for two million yuan."

Thinking of this, his heart is a fiery, quickly asked the woman: "elder sister, how much money do you want this thing, I want it."

The woman frowned and thought about it. She said in a low voice, "boss, I don't know what the price is. Would you like to give me 8000?"

"Eight thousand!"

On hearing the price, Lao Zhou was really shocked. God wants me to get rich. This is not picking up a leak. What is picking up a leak? At this time, he is already imagining his rich life in the future.

However, it made the woman think that her price was too high, so she cried: "boss, I really can't help it. Look at my child, after he was sick when he was a child, his eyes broke. In order to treat him, his father went out to work and had a car accident. I was the only one in the family to support him, and there was no money left for my child's treatment."

"A while ago, a scholar in our village reminded me that if there were any old things at home, they might sell at a good price in the capital. Then I remembered that there was a piece of jade in our family. I heard that it was very precious. I don't know whether it was worth 8000 or not. But for my children's sake, it's OK. Buy it."

When the little boy heard this, he begged, "uncle, please do me a favor. Have pity on me. I will repay you when I grow up in the future."

Looking at their appearance, Lao Zhou was more sure that the jade pig dragon in his hand should be a genuine one. When he wanted to promise, suddenly a voice came from the side.

"Elder sister, this jade pig dragon, I'll take 30000." On hearing this, Lao Zhou stared at the man who made a sound. It turned out that he was a middle-aged man who was very well dressed. He didn't know when he stood next to them.

"Ah, what's the matter with you? You're going to stop me!" There is a rule in the antique shop. If one party is looking at something or trading, others have to wait until the other party is not satisfied.

If you don't abide by the rules, you will break the rules. And this kind of behavior of raising the price of the bidder to buy first is called blocking one way.

Of course, Lao Zhou couldn't bear such bad behavior. The key is that it also involves his chance to make a lot of money, so he was impatient at that time.

The middle-aged man also didn't care. He said with a faint smile, "this boss, haven't you bought it yet? I like it very much, too. You can give it to me. And you want to buy it for 8000 yuan. Don't you think it's bullying? "

"Fifty thousand, I'll do it Mr. Zhou's gnashing teeth have made a price again.

After this offer, you will know what happened. Next, 100000, 150000, 300000. Finally, it rose to 550000 offered by middle-aged men.

At this time, Lao Zhou was completely crazy. He thought about his fortune and was cruel. He yelled: "I'll pay 600000. Ha, if you have the ability, you'll be higher than 600000, I won't want it."

With a long sigh, the middle-aged man turned around and left, while the woman was stunned at the right time. Seeing this, Lao Zhou was elated and said to the woman:

"let's go and sign the agreement."

And then there was the tragedy that I said before.

In fact, Lao Zhou's lesson tells us that if we want to get involved in the field of antiques, we should keep in mind a few key points, that is, "learn more, see more, buy less." and the most important point is "abstain from corruption", and Lao Zhou's these points can be said to be all occupied.

First of all, learn more. Lao Zhou is a painter and calligrapher. Although he knows a little bit about Hongshanyu, he can't say he is good at it. In this way, he knew that there was a flood of fake jade in Hongshan, but he did not refer to other people's opinions, so he decided that the jade pig dragon was true or false. He was really arrogant.

And if he can look more carefully, it is not difficult to see the flaw of this jade pig dragon. First of all, the corrosion of this jade pig dragon is completely chemical. The holes and spots are very uniform. However, if it is formed naturally, its corrosion degree will be light or heavy, and it can be divided into local and global.

Then there are piercing and polishing. Hongshan culture is a primitive culture five or six thousand years ago. Therefore, at that time, animal bones were used to punch holes. The center of the holes was often not aligned, that is, there were so-called step marks. Moreover, the holes were honeycomb shaped, big outside and small inside.
