Chu Chen thinks about it and thinks that he'd better inquire about it from Ma Xiaoqiang first. If there's no danger, it's OK for him to go there. If it's dangerous, forget it. Of course, even if the danger is not high, for the sake of Wu Ke's safety, he also decided not to take Wu Ke with him.
Later, Chu Chen asked Lin Dacheng for the phone call left by Ma Xiaoqiang.
When Ma Xiaoqiang called, he got through quickly. It was said that Chu Chen was calling. Ma Xiaoqiang was very enthusiastic. Chu Chen laughed at this. If Ma Xiaoqiang knew that Zhao Mengfu's Luo Shen Fu, which ma laocai had sold to him, was an authentic work, would he be so angry that he vomited blood.
"Mr. Ma, to make a long story short, I don't know how the quality of your friend's things is?"
"Well I wonder if it's convenient for you, Chu Shao? " Ma Xiaoqiang on the other end of the phone seemed to falter.
"It's very convenient for me. Just tell me what you want." Chu Chen said.
"To tell you the truth, my friend's things are really good. I'm sure you will be interested."
"Mr. Ma, the truth is empty talk. You just say things are good, but you have to let me know what they are, right?"
"Porcelain, wood and bronze ware are all available, and their quality is excellent. One of them is the colorful cloud dragon pattern lid box from the Wanli period. This kind of bottle can be regarded as a heavy one."
If the blue and white porcelain mentioned by Ma Xiaoqiang is really as heavy as he said, Chu Chen will definitely go. But when he heard that there are bronzes in it, he can't help but worry about whether Ma Xiaoqiang's friend will be a grave robber, or even a grave robber gang. He has seen the craziness of grave robbers before, and there is no guarantee in terms of security when dealing with such people.
"Mr. Ma, excuse me for asking, since you have such a heavy weapon, why didn't you find someone else? I believe there are many people in Wucheng who can buy this kind of implements, right
Ma Xiaoqiang said with a smile: "Chu Shao, to be honest, I have contacted several bosses before, but they all think my friend's offer is too high, and my friend doesn't want to sell it cheaply. In the end, they just bought a few gadgets."
"Oh? Then you don't think I'm stupid and rich, do you? "
Ma Xiaoqiang really thought so, but how could he admit it to his face? He quickly said with a smile: "Chu Shao, you wronged me by saying that. Your eyesight is so high that even if I want to find a wrongdoer, I won't find someone like you? "
In fact, Chu Chen guessed the right thing. Ma Xiaoqiang's friend was indeed a member of a tomb robber gang, and all the things sold this time were stolen goods.
To tell you the truth, Ma Xiaoqiang was afraid of staying in prison before. He didn't want to help his friend pull fiber, but he couldn't help it. He owed his friend a few favors at the beginning, and the other party was really as fierce as Chu Chen thought, otherwise he wouldn't help him at all.
This time, his friend's things were urgent and needed cash. There were many and expensive things. Ma Xiaoqiang couldn't find such a rich man for a while. He had no choice but to put his idea on Chu Chen. After waiting for a few days, he thought Chu Chen would not call him. Unexpectedly, he got a call unexpectedly today. Of course, he had to make the business as much as possible That's right.
"Where is the place of the deal?" Chu Chen asked.
"The location of the transaction is in a four-star hotel in Wucheng. It must be safe." Ma Xiaoqiang asked.
Hearing that Ma Xiaoqiang only said it was a four-star hotel, but did not say the name of the hotel, Chu Chen felt more and more that Ma Xiaoqiang's friend might be a tomb robber, or the source of things was unknown, which immediately made him hesitant.
However, Chu Chen thought that there was a colorful cloud dragon pattern cover box in Wanli, and he was not willing to give up. Then he thought that the location of the transaction was a four-star hotel after all, and the safety should be better, so he asked, "what are your friends' requirements for the transaction?"
Ma Xiaoqiang replied, "my friend, as long as you prepare 500000 RMB in cash first."
"Half a million in cash? This is not consistent with the value of the wanlidou color cloud dragon pattern cover box you said
Although Chu Chen also wanted to buy things cheaper, since the other party could name them, how could he not understand the market value of them? Is Ma Xiaoqiang's Friend ready to jump price?
"Chu Shao, you're joking. If it's really cheap, I'll buy it myself. As for asking you to bring 500000 in cash, I'm not sure, but he should have his own plan..."
Speaking of this, Ma Xiaoqiang may think that Chu Chen will feel unsafe, and added: "Chu Shao, as for safety, you don't have to worry. At that time, I'll take you to that hotel. You can open your own room. At that time, my friends will come to your room to trade with you. What do you think?"
Chu Chen pondered for a while. He thought that no matter what, he had to go and have a look. So he said, "OK, when shall we go? I've been doing a lot of things recently, but I don't have much time to stay in Wucheng. "
Ma Xiaoqiang quickly said: "if you can raise 500000 cash tomorrow, I can take you tomorrow.""OK, let's get in touch tomorrow..."
Hung up the phone, Chu Chen thought again, think tomorrow with Hu Yong, there should be no danger, this just let go.
See Chu Chen hung up the phone, Wu Ke asked: "how?"
Chu Chen replied, "it's OK. Ma Xiaoqiang wants me to buy his friend's things. I agreed."
"Oh
Chu Chen said, "by the way, you can stay here tomorrow. I'll go with Hu Yong."
"Ah! Why? " Wu Ke knew that if it wasn't for some special reason, Chu Chen couldn't have taken her away, which made her frown.
"I think the other party has some problems..." With that, Chu Chen repeated what he had just said on the phone.
"Since it's dangerous, you'd better not go!" Wu Ke seems a little worried.
Lin Dacheng also advised: "yes, safety should be put first."
Chuchen said with a smile: "I will definitely book a room by myself, and there will be no problem with Hu Yong."
"I will certainly protect brother Chu!"
Hu Yong has been following Chu Chen for quite a long time. He knows that what Chu Chen has decided is unlikely to change. So while he guarantees, he shows his pistol, which makes Wu Ke feel relieved.
Lin Dacheng's family didn't expect that Hu Yong was still carrying this kind of weapon. For a moment, they were still in a daze. When they came back to their senses, they remembered Chu Chen's identity. The honest looking young man in front of them was probably the legendary bodyguard of Zhong Nan Hai. While they were amazed, they also became curious when they looked at Hu Yong.
"Well, hum!" After a while, when he saw that Hu Yong was embarrassed by them, Lin Dacheng coughed quickly, and then said, "Xiao Chen, anyway, I still said that, no matter what time, you should pay attention to safety."
"Cousin, I remember!" Chu Chen nodded.
Then, after chatting for a while, Chu Chen found that Lin Dacheng and his wife looked at each other from time to time, as if there was something wrong.
Chu Chen asked: "cousin, is there something wrong with you?"
"This Hey, hey Lin Dacheng sneered, as if embarrassed to speak.
"You don't say it, I say it!" Sister Lin said, "brother-in-law, let me tell you what screen he bought last week for 1000 yuan Screen is a good thing. It can make a lot of money. Can you help him to have a look, so that he can die that heart
"What are you saying! Can't I buy something good? " Lin Dacheng said with a black face.
"You can buy good things, but it depends on what the other person is? What kind of screen can you buy if you don't know anything about it? " Mrs. Lin sniffed.
Seeing that the couple were quarreling, Chu Chen said quickly, "cousin, let's see if things are good. However, when my father left, he told you that you had better not buy antiques when you didn't study this field. "
Lin Dacheng said with a smile, "it's not the time to go to the market. It's beautiful and old-fashioned. Besides, the price is not expensive, so I bought it."
Lin Sao Wen Yan angrily denounced: "1000 yuan, actually still say not expensive! You're talking about lightness
"All right! All right Wu Ke quickly advised: "sister-in-law, things have been like this, let's see things first..."
At this time, Lin Guangxin came over with the screen. It was made of wood, and it had only one side. On the surface of the screen, there was a picture of the Mid Autumn Festival enjoying the moon. In addition, there was a song "meditation on a quiet night".
As soon as the screen came into view, Chu Chen felt that it was a high probability that it was a fake. In addition, the screen showed very obvious signs of being worn out, so he knew that this screen should be a fake.
"Cousin, when you bought this screen, what did the seller say?"
Lin Dacheng replied: "he said it was from the Ming Dynasty. He asked for 50000 yuan. I thought it was good. But if I asked for 50000 yuan, I couldn't buy it. So I countered with him, and the deal was closed after 1000 yuan."
Chu Chen secretly shakes his head when he hears the words. Lin Da Shuang doesn't know anything about this. He even spends 1000 yuan to buy things. It seems that he really thinks it's easy to pick up the leak.
He asked, "did it say what material this screen was made of?"
Lin Dacheng thought for a while and then said, "it's like some old chicken wing wood."
It is mainly distributed in the sub tropical regions of the world. It is named for its texture similar to "chicken wings". Its texture is crisscross, clear, and its color is abrupt. It belongs to the more beautiful wood in the mahogany, with slight aroma, and the growth ring is not obvious.
