Chapter 837

Hearing Chu Chen say so, the fourth master also knew that Chu Chen did not care about this plum vase, so he said with a smile: "I take it back to 10000 yuan, Chu expert, you must let me earn a little bit! Well, with this bottle, it's 20000 yuan in total. If you want it, you can take it away, or you'll forget it! "

See four ye make don't want to talk about appearance, Chu Chen think this price should be his limit, so nodded down.

One hand to pay, one hand to deliver, and then Chu Chen took two things, with the fourth master and the guide said goodbye. But when they came to the door, they were just looking at the old man and the young man. They all came in happily.

Seeing that Chu Chen had just come out and had two more things in his hand, the old man felt uncomfortable. He complained that the fourth master had not waited for them to come and take out the things. However, thinking that the clock was finally bought by himself, he was proud again: "what about the experts? In the end, it's not cheap for me!"

Seeing that the old man agreed and arrogantly passed by him and others, Qi Baofu was so angry that he was ashamed of Chu Chen.

When he walked out of the gate, Qi Baofu apologized to Chu Chen and said, "teacher Chu, it's my fault this time..."

"Mr. Qi, it's over!"

Chuchen waved his hand with a smile and said, "besides, although that clock is very precious, I can't buy it with so much money unless my brain is broken!"

Qi Baofu and Cao Jingde were all stunned when they heard what he said. After half a sound, Qi Baofu came back to himself and asked, "teacher Chu, is that bell a fake?"

Chu Chen shook his head: "false is certainly not false, otherwise at first I would not agree to spend two million to buy it."

"What do you mean?" Both Qi Baofu and Cao Jingde are confused.

"Because that clock is in repair." Chu Chen returned.

"Is there any repair?"

Qi Baofu and Cao Jingde looked at each other in surprise. Qi Baofu recalled it and said, "I've seen the bell carefully just now. It doesn't look like it has been repaired at all."

Chuchen said with a smile: "that's because the person who repaired it is a master. The surface is covered by a gilded layer, so it's hard to see the traces of the repair. But if you look inside carefully, you can still see clearly. If the one who followed me to look inside carefully just now, I don't think he would bid much. "

At the time of identification just now, other people also looked at the outside of the clock, but because of the space, they didn't look at the inside of the clock. In addition, they all believed in Chu Chen's judgment. So when Chu Chen said that the thing was genuine, they were so excited that they didn't look at it again.

After listening to Chu Chen's explanation, they couldn't help looking at each other. After a while, Cao Jingde asked, "teacher Chu, how much is this bell worth?"

Chuchen said with a little smile: "almost two million, no more than two and a half million at most."

Qi Baofu was surprised and said, "that's not to say that it will take at least three or five years for this clock to have its present value in the current market situation?"

Cao Jingde said with a smile: "don't forget, this clock has been repaired. The increment is much less than that of normal things. Let alone three or five years, I've seen seven or eight years when it can reach the current price, even if it's high."

"It's time!" Qi Baofu felt relieved and said with a smile: "it's a pity, if only this clock had been worth such a little money all the time!"

Cao Jingde said with a smile, "Lao Qi, please forgive me! What's more, you don't want to think about it. Even if it can be appreciated to the current price in 1978, how much interest will the money earn for so many years? And with the character of this old guy, it's hard for me to see if he can stick to it for such a long time. "

"Then let him vomit blood Qi Baofu said with a smile.

Speaking of this, several people saw that with the help of the young man and the guide, the old man was carefully lifting the bell out of the house.

Chuchen didn't want to see this man, so they went to their car. But before they left, Qi Baofu also laughed at the old man.

This made the old man feel a little puzzled, but his mind was now on the clock in front of him, so he didn't think much about it. When he came home, he saw the traces of repair inside the bell, and then thought about Qi Baofu's smile, he could only repent too late.

As they walked and chatted, they thought that they would finally meet Chu Chen. During this time, Qi Baofu and Cao Jingde asked several questions about antiques. Chu Chen also gave a simple and clear answer, which made them suddenly enlightened.

When he got to his car, Chu Chen said with a smile, "Mr. Qi, don't take what happened just now to heart. To be honest, if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have picked it up today."

Hear Chu Chen say pick up leak, two people immediately on the spirit of a boost, Qi Baofu quickly asked: "teacher Chu, you pick up a few leaks?"

"Three!"

When they heard Chu Chen's reply, they were immediately stunned. You know, today Chu Chen got four things, of which the plum vase was definitely not leaking. Even Qi Baofu, who had poor eyesight, could see this. That is to say, all the three things Chu Chen bought were leaking, which really shocked them.This made Cao Jingde feel a little uneasy. He quickly arched his hand: "Miss Chu, I don't know if you can give us some advice now?"

Chu Chen saw that it wasn't three o'clock, so he said, "let's go to the car. It's more spacious."

Chu Chen said that, but he didn't want the young man or the guide to see it, so as not to have any bad influence. When everyone entered the car, Chu Chen put a chair flat, and then took out the Thangka.

"Let's talk about this Thangka first..."

Then Chu Chen introduced the Thangka they just got to them, and finally said: "this Thangka shows such superb white drawing techniques, which can be compared with those of Wu Daozi in Tang Dynasty and Li Gonglin in Song Dynasty. It is undoubtedly of great significance for us to know and understand the art of Tibetan Thangka in terms of techniques. So this work is really rare. "

After listening to Chu Chen's explanation, they not only improved their understanding of Thangka, but also admired Chu Chen's profound knowledge.

Qi Baofu said with a smile: "teacher Chu, I ask a very common question, do not know the value of this Thangka?"

Chu Chen replied: "conservative estimate is about 100000!"

"Mr. Chu, you are so good!"

Cao Jingde listened to the price given by Chu Chen, but he gave Chu Chen a thumbs up with admiration. Sitting in front of Hu Yong saw, secretly turned his mouth, think they really have no knowledge. But when he thought so, he might have forgotten Chu Chen's shock when he picked up the leak.

"It seems that I have to pay attention to Thangka in the future." Qi Baofu muttered enviously.

"I said, Lao Qi, can you stop thinking about picking up leaks all the time?"

Cao Jingde is speechless: "if you don't say anything else, I ask you, do you know how to identify the authenticity of Thangka?"

Qi Baofu scratched his head and said with a smile, "aren't you going to ask teacher Chu for advice?"

Chu Chen shook his head and said with a smile, "Mr. Qi, we can't just pick up the leak in our antique business. Ninety nine percent of us can't find the leak, and we'll probably hit our eyes!"

Qi Baofu said solemnly: "I'm not that stupid. I just want to ask you some tips. I'm sure I'll read and learn after I go back!"

As an old friend for many years, how can Cao Jingde not know that Qi Baofu doesn't care much about reading books at all, but he thinks that even if Qi Baofu is torn down, he will definitely buy it if he likes it. In this way, it's better to listen to Chu Chen's explanation, so that he won't make a blind eye.

"Then I'll say a few! We identify Thangka, there are two main points, one is to judge the true and false, the other is to judge the old and new. Identification of true and false Thangka mainly from the theme, content, production technology, materials, painters and other aspects of judgment

"Most thangkas are hung in temples or at home. They are naturally stained with incense all the year round, forming a natural and old color. When you brush the dust on the surface with a dry wool brush or a dry cotton ball, you can see that the color is calm, natural and even. The old thangka is also made by smoking and smearing, but it feels rough and dry, the old color is unnatural, and the color is uneven. "

"The second is the penetration of pigments. Old thangkas can" eat "pigments, while old thangkas can clearly show that pigments are only" floating on the surface. ". The friction, crease, exfoliation and corrosion of the old Thangka are very natural and harmonious as a whole, while the old Thangka treated with acid-base and other chemicals is obviously stiff. In addition, the edges and corners of old thangkas may be damaged, bitten by insects and rats, and there may be tiny insect eggs. "

"As for the painters, the Thangka style before the 19th century was simple and simple, and because the pigments were pure natural minerals, the colors were strong, thick, stiff, and not too rich. Most of them were red, blue, black, gold, silver (i.e. white), and the facial color of the characters was black (plateau color)

"After the 19th century, influenced by the Han style of rendering, contrast and sketch, they used halo dyeing and 24 times of light and shade rendering. Nowadays, plants are often used to extract pigments, which are soft and peaceful. "

Chu Chen sometimes likes to be a good teacher. Anyway, there's nothing urgent right now, so he simply told them about the identification of Thangka.

After listening to Chu Chen's simple explanation, Qi Baofu was very excited. He also took out a small book and pen and wrote down some of the key points.

In the end, Cao Jingde said with a smile, "Lao Qi, if you study antiques so seriously, you won't lose millions! Mr. Chu, I'll tell you that his millions of dollars are not big items. They are usually hundreds or thousands of things. Do you think he's tough? "
