Chapter 942

Put the things in the car. As we were about to drive away, we saw another driver coming. Chu Chen, a senior collector in the capital, also knew him. He had a few simple exchanges with him before, and he was only a nodding acquaintance.

Chuchen smiles at him, and then drives away. As the car passes by the door, he hears the collector asking Lao Chang if the painting has been kept for him. He patted his chest and promised that since the collector had ordered the painting, he would certainly keep it. After that, he took the collector into his house.

After driving for a certain distance, Wu Ke said with a speechless face: "that old Chang is too shameless to tell lies with his eyes open! By the way, do you know that man? "

Chu Chen nodded: "I've met several times before."

"What about his eyesight? Can you see that the painting is "exposing the second floor"

"I'm not sure whether I can see it or not. However, at the level of that painting, I think it's more likely that I can't see it with his eyesight."

"Well! Isn't that going to be slaughtered by the old man again? "

"Very likely."

After hearing this, Wu Ke felt a little uncomfortable and said, "I feel uncomfortable when I see this guy making money. You say, if we told that man that there was something wrong with the painting before, what would the expression be?"

Chuchen said with a smile: "what expression can it be? Of course, his face is green with anger..."

As a matter of fact, he still hasn't said a word. This will not only make Lao Chang angry, but also offend his Tibetan friend.

In the antique industry, it is common to know that what the other party plays or buys is not old, and they are not willing to say that something is wrong. This does not mean that people are unwilling to tell the truth, but because of practical factors. In this society, no matter in the past or in the future, everyone is willing to listen to the truth, but in fact, once you really say it, you will get more abuse.

Although we all know this, only a few people accept it and learn from it. Even if they accept it on the surface, they actually go in one ear and out the other.

In addition to human nature, the second reason is that antiques often involve money. Some things are even valuable treasures. Once they are involved in money interests, anything can happen. In the case just now, if the collector thought that Chu Chen said that, he wanted to take the painting for himself, it was undoubtedly a good intention to do something bad.

Moreover, because of this, there are also corresponding rules for antique identification, which involves interests.

, for example, is usually authoritative has the final say when judging the antiques. The appraisal results of things are often determined according to the degree of authority in the industry. For example, if a first-line expert says things are right, then even if things are wrong, the second-line expert will not deny his results.

In addition, appraisal experts generally do not tear down each other. If an appraisal expert has already issued an appraisal report and appraisal price, other colleagues who are not teachers and students will not tear down each other even if they have opinions, but will choose to communicate privately.

Just because of the above two reasons, if Chu Chen and the elders identify together, he will look first, but the result is that he will speak first, so that the elders will not be wrong and he will not be able to change his words.

In addition, some experts will help each other when they do identification. For example, there is an expert who has a high reputation, but he can only study and can't identify real objects, while another expert is invincible in actual combat identification. However, because of his reputation, others don't like to identify him, so they work together to identify what they need.

The last rule is actually related to the human nature mentioned just now, that is, the appraisal results must satisfy the customers. As long as the imitation is not too far off the mark, all of them are "looking at the old", so as to save their own worry and effort, and the buyers and sellers are happy.

Therefore, the identification of antiques needs experts, but we can't rely on them, let alone blindly believe them. Otherwise, we may suffer losses or even great losses.

In fact, although Chu Chen didn't have a deep understanding of this kind of thing, Wu Ke, who had been influenced by her childhood, could guess it. She said with a smile: "in this world, there are few true gentlemen and many hypocrites, and these people can only have a long memory if they suffer a big loss."

Speaking of this, she suddenly thought of a thing and said with a smile: "ah Chen, why did you say that you wanted to buy all the copper ink cartridges without looking at them before? There's no secret in it, is there? "

Chu Chen couldn't tell the truth about this kind of thing, so he said, "what's the secret? I just don't think the current price of copper ink cartridge can reflect its real value, so I'm going to buy it for collection."

Wu Ke agreed with Chu Chen's words. She asked, "how much can it go up?"

Chu Chen thought about it and said, "I think that in a few years' time, the copper ink cartridge that Chen Shizeng participated in making should be worth 50000 or 60000."

"Isn't it, can it go up so much?" Wu Ke was quite surprised. A copper ink cartridge is worth 50000 or 60000 yuan, and the 50 or 60 copper ink cartridges are worth at least one million yuan. However, it costs only 100000 yuan to buy these copper ink cartridges. The speed of making money is amazing."I'm not sure whether it can rise so much, but I think it's also based on it."

Chuchen explained with a smile: "first of all, although there are more and more people collecting copper ink cartridges, there is not yet a group, which can be seen from the market price of copper ink cartridges. That is to say, the whole collection circle has not paid enough attention to the copper ink cartridge. The collection status of the copper ink cartridge is not commensurate with its artistic and historical added value. "

"Under the condition of market economy, only through research, publicity, circulation, auction and speculation can antique realize its real value. The copper ink cartridge is eighteen thousand miles away from this one... "

Hearing this, Wu Ke said, "Oh, I see what you mean. When people begin to notice the value of copper ink cartridges, the value of copper ink cartridges will begin to rise. But how can you be sure that someone will begin to notice the value of copper ink cartridges in a few years

Chu Chen said with a smile, "antiques are less said, but not more said. Nowadays, many people, especially the rich owners, have begun to set foot in this business. Sooner or later, good things will be bought out, and the products that were not favored by everyone in the market will come into our view. So I think that such exquisite stationery as copper ink cartridge will surely be very popular with you. "

Copper ink cartridge, as a kind of stationery, became popular among literati and even celebrities at that time. When they got a beautiful copper ink cartridge, they often had to write poems and draw pictures on it, and then asked craftsmen to carve them. Some scholars also engraved their works on the copper ink cartridge and gave them to relatives and friends.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, ink cartridge became the object of the literati, dignitaries and dignitaries. At that time, it was a fashion to obtain a side of exquisite ink cartridge.

Due to the small size of the copper ink cartridge, painting and writing on it must be very careful. Therefore, the works on the copper ink cartridge are usually the author's fine works and masterpieces, and because the metal is not easy to damage, this is the basis of long-term preservation.

It is precisely because of its long-term preservation that copper ink cartridges have become gifts and souvenirs for birthday celebrations, weddings, academic achievements and other important events.

Such as "so and so Yahuan", "so and so Yazheng", "so and so on, so the copper ink cartridge has become a glorious page in the modern history of our country, which is related to many important events and important figures.

This also makes the copper ink cartridge have a profound cultural connotation. During the period when the copper ink cartridge was popular, almost all people who wrote used it. People use it because of things, and things are expensive because of people. Some left over ink cartridges can discover many stories, which also increases the collection value of the copper ink cartridge.

"And so on, there are many reasons why copper ink cartridge is worth collecting, so I think the price of copper ink cartridge will definitely reflect its due value before long."

Chu Chen continued: "of course, just like antiques have good and bad, so do copper ink cartridges. Generally speaking, copper ink cartridges with fine depictions are worth collecting, while those with coarse depictions can be abandoned. But we should pay attention to what is crude. For example, Qi Baishi's paintings, with only a few strokes, seem to be very crude, but in fact they are extremely exquisite. "

"In addition, it depends on the material quality of the copper ink cartridge. High quality copper ink cartridge, pure copper, although after a hundred years, luster does not reduce, even if you use a high-power magnifying glass to see, you can not see sand holes and impurities. Most famous people use this. It's used by ordinary people, but its quality is much worse, and it has little collection value... "

Next, Chu Chen talked about some things to pay attention to when collecting copper ink cartridges. When they got off the car at the door of the hotel, he just told Wu Ke all these.

Xiang Facai's car stopped early. At the end, he said with a smile, "Mr. Chu, since you have bought so many copper ink cartridges this time, can you give me some explanations?"

Chuchen nodded with a smile and said, "it's no problem."

Xiang Facai said happily, "let's have dinner first. We'll wait until we come to your store after dinner."

"OK..."

After a big lunch, we drove to chuchen's antique shop.

When Chu Chen and Duan Xuefeng arrived at the store carrying the box of copper ink cartridges, they found that Yuan Hongjian was also in the store today. At this time, he and Uncle Wu and others might have just had lunch and were chatting over tea.

After a warm greeting, Yuan Hongjian asked with a smile, "teacher Chu, what is this box of yours?"

"A box of copper ink cartridges."

"Copper cartridge?" After listening to Chu Chen's answer, everyone felt a little strange. Why did Chu Chen suddenly think of collecting copper ink cartridges?

Chu Chen saw everyone's strange look and said with a smile, "I also happened to meet them. In addition, I think the appreciation space of copper ink cartridge is good, so I bought them all."
