Wu Ke knows that the self warming cup is worth a lot, but she doesn't have an accurate concept of its real value.
But the artifacts of the official kilns in the Northern Song Dynasty are different. Under the influence of his father, Wu Ke clearly knew the value of the official kilns' porcelain in the Northern Song Dynasty, which is also a treasure for antique collectors. Because the quantity is rare, the value of the porcelain pieces is not poor, let alone a whole piece. As previously said, it's no surprise even if there are hundreds of millions of pieces.
It's incredible that such a valuable treasure was bought by her boyfriend for thousands of pounds. It's a big leak in the antique industry.
It's the self warming cup and the brush washing of the official kiln in the Northern Song Dynasty. Two priceless treasures are put in the safe of the hotel, which seems safe, but in fact it's not safe. Wu Ke feels very frightened when he thinks about it.
Seeing Wu Ke frowning from time to time, how could Chu Chen not understand what she was thinking? He comforted her with a smile:
"well, don't think too much about it. The security of this hotel has a good reputation among the customers. How can we have thieves as soon as we arrive! If that's the case, how unlucky are we? And really, how can we buy these two treasures? If you are really worried, let's stop eating and just stay in the hotel and deposit our things in the bank early tomorrow morning. "
Wu Ke actually knows how much she thinks, but her mind just can't stop thinking. She coquettishly says, "I'm just afraid of losing something!"
Chuchen said with a smile: "you can fall into the sewer when you walk. Then don't go out!"
"Don't say anything unlucky next time!" Wu Ke spat and said, "ah Chen, would you like to teach me something about antiques?"
"Why, you want to pick up the leak, too?" Chu Chen knew that Wu Ke was not interested in antiques all the time, so he became curious when she said that.
"Am I that shallow?" Wu Kebai glanced at him: "I just think that in addition to the profound historical and cultural heritage, antiques can also explore the mysteries left by history. It's very interesting to think about it."
"That's right! After returning home, I'll send you some information to see, but now you should still focus on your studies. When you return home, I'll teach you systematically, OK? "
Chu Chen said happily that he was afraid of Wu, but because he saw that he had picked up the leak twice, and his mind was hot, his interest would not last long. But now it seems that Wu has his own ideas, which is no better.
Wu Ke nodded and agreed: "well, OK!..."
…………
Today's treat place is a very famous western restaurant.
Although chuchen knows the etiquette of Western food very well, he doesn't like western food. He has to wait a long time for Western food, but it seems that the amount of complicated Western food is not much. He can't adapt to what he likes to eat, and the taste of Western food is not what he likes. There are several reasons that make chuchen have no love for Western food.
But this time, after all, it was a treat. Mina said in advance that she wanted to have a big meal in the western restaurant where they are now, so now she can only do as the guests want.
When they arrived, Wu Ke's classmates came over. In fact, they were the three girls they met at the door of the bar that day.
In addition to Mina, the other two girls are also Oriental. One is Selina, a mainlander, and the other is Josie, a native of Xiangjiang.
The three girls are also very beautiful. Mina has blonde hair, blue eyes, big long legs, and is graceful, plump and charming, which is no less than those foreign supermodels.
As for Serena and Josie, the former looks like a lady of a big family, and shows the beauty of being careless and wild. And Josie is just the opposite, like a jasper, but also a baby voice, it's easy for men to have a protective desire.
These three beauties have their own styles, and Wu Ke, who is more lovely and moving than them, is also a beautiful scenery in the University. They are often pursued and harassed by wild bees and butterflies.
However, these four girls have always been true to these people, and never agreed to any man's pursuit. Over time, many people in the school think that these four girls must be Lala. Up to now, unless they don't know about it, few men will come to pursue them again.
Chu Chen was also surprised at this at the beginning. Wu liked him so much. It's impossible for other people to have distant sweethearts like Wu Ke, right?
Later, after listening to Wu Ke's explanation, he realized that it was because of the strict family education at home that Josie could only talk about her boyfriend after graduation from childhood, while Selena had no love for foreigners and wanted to talk about it later. As for Mina, she really had a tendency to be a lesbian.
Fortunately, Mina just has the tendency to be a lesbian, otherwise chuchen really dare not let Wu Ke live in Mina's house.
It is said that there are three women in a play. Now there are four women, which can be said to be a big play. In addition, the three people have been asking Wu Ke about taboo topics, and they have dragged Chu Chen into the water, making Chu Chen blush and cry out.Now Chu Chen really wants to thank Mina for choosing the place to eat in the western restaurant. He can't speak too recklessly, or these women will go crazy, and even if his force explodes, he will have to run away.
Fortunately, when the dish was served, the three girls finally calmed down, which made chuchen feel relieved.
After dinner, Chu Chen ordered tea and dessert. Maybe she had enough to eat and drink, and the girls were no longer noisy.
"By the way, Chu, what's your business?" Mina asked after eating a piece of cake happily.
Chu Chen simply replied, "I mainly deal in antiques and jadeite jewelry."
In foreign countries, most antique dealers have small assets. In addition, in the eyes of ordinary people, jewelry business can be done by rich people. So Mina suddenly said, "Wow, no wonder you are so rich!"
Chu Chen smiles a little. He is not modest. Foreigners like to go straight. If you are modest in front of foreigners, he will have the illusion that if you can't say it yourself, it must be bad. Therefore, modesty also needs to be adapted to local conditions.
Selena heard that chuchen was in the jade business. As soon as her eyes turned, she said with a smile, "brother Chu, since you are in the jade jewelry business, can you help me to have a look at the pendant I bought?"
Before Chu Chen responded, Mina complained, "Oh, Serena, can you stop speaking your country's language? I can't understand what you're saying!"
Chu Chen nodded and agreed, then explained with a smile, "Selena asked me to help her identify a piece of jade."
Seeing that chuchen agreed, Selena was very happy to take out the pendant she said from her chest. Originally, the collar of her dress was relatively low. In addition, the front was quite large. The appearance of the pendant she took out from her chest made chuchen blush.
"Serena, you're going to die. Can't you be more reserved?" Wu can be a bit speechless.
Serena said with a smile, "just take it as my reward, Ellie. You won't eat my vinegar, will you?"
"Eat you big head!" Wu Ke also knows Selina's character. When she is careless, sometimes she is indifferent, which makes people laugh and cry.
But in this way, Chu Chen was in a bit of a dilemma. It was the girl who put the things on her chest. If she just got them, she would have a strange feeling. Moreover, her girlfriend was still around, so that he would not accept them now or not.
Wu Ke also understood Chu Chen's dilemma, so he took out a napkin, put the pendant on the napkin, and let Chu Chen take it.
Selena smiles and doesn't care. She sits there waiting for the identification result given by Chu Chen.
Chu Chen picked up the pendant and had a look. Unexpectedly, it was still a piece of glass. It was green and full of jade. The surface of the pendant was carved with goldfish, which seemed to swim with its tail swinging. Because fish and "Yu" are homophonic, metaphorical affluence and surplus, so many people like this theme, and the objects carved with this theme are known as "full of gold and jade".
Just from his experience, we can see that this is not pure natural glass jadeite. After seeing it with a magnifying glass and a flashlight, we can confirm his judgment.
"Serena, I don't know how much it cost to buy this jade pendant?" Chu Chen asked.
Serena replied, "I saw it beautiful at the London junk market two years ago, so I bought it for a thousand pounds. Josie said it's glass emerald, and I made a profit. Isn't it glass emerald?"
Chu Chen secretly shook his head. No wonder ordinary people would say that women and children in the world are the best earners of money. Looking at Serena's appearance, they should not know much about jadeite. They just think it's beautiful and spend 15000 to buy it.
"It's really a kind of glass jade, but it's not pure natural. This kind of jade is called B product in our industry."
Serena was first delighted, then surprised. She cried and said, "what's B?"? Is that to say, my pendant is a worthless thing? "
"First of all, B is jade." Chu Chen explained: "for your jade, it's the best kind of glass jade in terms of texture and water head. However, because there are black spots or other impurities inside, it greatly affects the ornamental value and reduces the value."
"Therefore, some businesses use strong chemical solution to corrode, remove these impurities, fill the holes with glue, add color, wax and polish, and then become B-type jadeite with good appearance. This kind of B-type jadeite is very easy to identify. You can see the difference with a magnifying glass. "
Selena took the magnifying glass and looked at it. As Chu Chen said, there were several obvious differences between her and the others, and her expression suddenly became dispirited.
