Chapter 943

Chu Chen opened the box and said, "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."

"Ah After hearing this, Yuan Hongjian clapped his hands and looked a little excited. He said, "I've known a little about this copper ink cartridge before. It's said that many celebrities have used it, but because everyone doesn't care much about it, I never want to buy it for collection. Since Mr. Chu says so, I'll have to pay attention in the future. Otherwise, I'll be too late to regret for missing the chance to get rich. "

Chu Chen waved his hand and said with a smile, "it's just my guess, but it can't be done accurately. Don't blame me if you lose at that time."

Yuan Hongjian said with a smile: "Mr. Chu, I won't blame you even if I lose. Besides, with the current antique market, it's nothing more than earning more and less. I'm sure I won't lose if I lose. Moreover, it's cheap. I think I won't lose if I buy a blue and white porcelain. Maybe there's a surprise."

Xiang Facai nodded again and again and said, "yes, I'll buy more while no one is buying cheap now. However, we need to ask Mr. Chu to help explain this knowledge. "

"Yes..." Chuchen nodded with a smile, and then introduced to you the matters needing attention that Wu Ke had just said.

Yuan Hongjian listened with relish. At last, he gave a thumbs up and said, "Mr. Chu, I have a bottom in my heart after hearing what you said. I'll go to the market to have a look later."

Hearing this, Chu Chen said: "elder, you'd better study it for a while. Although there are not many fake copper ink cartridges, they are not without them."

After hearing this, Yuan Hongjian thought it was incredible: "it's just a few hundred or thousands of pieces. Can it be fake?"

Uncle Wu said with a smile: "as long as there is something that can make money, there is nothing that can't be imitated. And just because everyone thinks that there is no fake copper ink cartridge, it's easier to be cheated."

Chu Chen took over and said, "yes, although there are not many ways to fabricate copper ink cartridges, there are also three kinds. One is the contemporary imitation, which is easy to identify, as long as you look at the old objects. Another method is to add new words or pictures to the old copper ink cartridge. "

"In the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, some of the copper ink cartridges had no work. The counterfeiter chooses this kind of copper cartridge to make a fake. They engraved words or pictures on the plain surface of the copper ink cartridge. Buyers are often confused by the six plane slurry of the copper ink cartridge when they identify, so they are deceived. Generally speaking, as long as we take a serious look at the engraving process, it is impossible for the current imitators to reach the level of engraving in the past "

" finally, there is another method, which is post engraving. The latter forgery is a forgery on the old copper ink cartridge with modern etching technology. First select the old plain copper ink cartridge, then use computer technology to print the content to be copied on the copper ink cartridge, and finally use the chemical etching method to forge the engraver. A fake is very confusing. If you don't pay attention to it, you will be deceived. "

Wu Ke asked: "how to prevent that?"

Chu Chen replied: "it's still up to the carver. In the past, there were obvious knife marks on the copper ink cartridge. The depth of the groove was different. The place where the knife went was deeper and the place where the knife was put in was shallower. If you look with a magnifying glass, you can still see obvious interlaced marks on the joint of the two knives. The depth of the line and the end of the groove caused by modern corrosion technology is the same, the groove is straight down, like a cliff, there is no knife mark between strokes, the bottom of the groove is not flat, and there is uneven phenomenon caused by inconsistent corrosion. "

Xiang Facai listened to Chu Chen's introduction and said, "now the level of science and technology is high, but the method of counterfeiting is also powerful. It's really impossible to prevent it!"

Yuan Hongjian shook his head and sighed: "ah! Who can say no? I've seen it countless times since I started my business. Compared with the genuine ones, the fakes I bought are nothing. My partner has been complaining about me all day and told me not to buy any more antiques, or she won't let me go home when she's not happy. "

"Uncle Wu said with a smile:" then you often buy things, not afraid your wife really shut you out

Yuan Hongjian said with a smile: "I can't help it. We've become addicted to playing antiques, and we can't help it. Although I am not like others, obsessed with not even care about home, but let me give up certainly can not do. Sometimes I wonder if I will leave a bunch of antiques for my younger generation when I die. "

"That's good. I've left a golden mountain for my younger generation."

Chuchen said with a smile: "however, I think the most important thing for us to live is to be comfortable. This antique is just a hobby. If we put all our money into this business, which reduces the quality of life, it's not worth the loss."

Like other hobbies, collection is addictive, and it's hard to get rid of it. Some collectors are so poor that they want to buy it, but they don't want to sell it. Even if you have a golden mountain, you will dig it out. In this way, the billionaires are also poor, how much money is not enough, let alone collectors without money.In particular, in recent years, not only is tomb robbery more rampant than in any previous dynasties, but also, with the increasing upsurge of construction, many ancient tombs and underground deposits have been excavated. There are countless collections unearthed just for these two reasons. If they can't get in, they can only live a hard life every day.

So, not to mention now, even before Chu Chen got the power, his collection idea is based on the premise of ensuring and improving the quality of life, never blindly. The only time I blindly bought the Tang Sancai, I also made an eye and lost all the money he had lost before. If he was not lucky enough to get the ability, he would still be fighting for buying a house.

After chatting a few words, we turned our eyes to the copper ink cartridge in front of us, ready to take the copper ink cartridge out of the box and enjoy it.

"Why! Is it true or not? "

As everyone looked and discussed, the top layers of copper black boxes were all taken out. At this time, Lao Wu picked up the bottom copper ink cartridge. When he saw the pattern on the ink cartridge, his face suddenly showed an incredible look.

This is a copper ink cartridge made during the period of the Republic of China. It is made of white copper and has a thick coating. It is engraved with the "pomegranate" pattern. It is self-evident that this theme takes the meaning of "many sons and many blessings".

The bottom of a pomegranate is engraved on the top of the design, and the side of a pomegranate is engraved on the bottom. The mature pomegranate seeds have split, and the curved branches and scattered leaves present a lively scene. The signature is "old man Baishi", which is in Mr. Baishi's handwriting. The next seal is engraved with "Baishi" square seal, which is exquisite and meticulous.

Seeing the full picture of the ink cartridge, Xiang Facai exclaimed: "Qi Baishi's copper ink cartridge? Does Qi Baishi also know how to carve copper ink cartridge? It seems that he has never heard of it? "

"Of course, Qi Baishi doesn't know how to carve a copper ink cartridge himself, but just like Chen Shizeng's, Qi Baishi has written and painted on it," Wu said

As a matter of fact, scholars like Qi Baishi didn't do it entirely for their livelihood, but mainly for their interests and hobbies.

Moreover, this kind of thing has gradually developed into a fashion. In the Republic of China, bureaucrats and gentlemen with a little pen and ink liked to write and draw on the copper ink cartridge, and then give it as a gift to others to win over their feelings. In addition, they could also be vulgar and elegant.

After listening to Uncle Wu's explanation, Xiang Facai suddenly realized that even if Qi Baishi didn't do it himself, the value of this ink cartridge should not be low, right

Wu Shu nodded and said, "if it's genuine, it's certainly not low."

Just as Xiang Facai urged him to make a quick appraisal, Zhou Wenping said softly, "eh! How could this ink cartridge be Qi Baishi's style

When we heard that Fang was stunned, we quickly looked at it. On the lid of the box was the picture of chicks. Although it was only a few strokes, it drew the posture and charm of chicks. It looked lively and lovely. You can see at a glance that you can't draw such a vivid picture without a deep painter.

When they saw another copper ink cartridge of Qi Baishi's style, they were surprised and looked at the remaining copper ink cartridges in the box. What shocked them even more was that although the patterns on the remaining copper ink cartridges were different, they were all of Qi Baishi's style and seal.

"True or false!" Old five murmurs to ask a way.

Uncle Wu's spirit was boosted and he said, "it's a mule or a horse. If you take it out, you'll know."

"Yes, yes! It's true or false. We'll know after identification... "

There are eight pieces of copper ink cartridges with Qi Baishi's knowledge, and every one of them has a surplus. So we take the ink cartridges to our hands one by one to appreciate them. Of course, Quan Facai and others have self-knowledge. Even if they think they are genuine, they all take Chu Chen's results as the criterion.

Copper ink cartridge is still very good identification, soon, Chu Chen got the last one, he looked at it carefully, and then nodded to everyone: "it's genuine."

After listening to the expected answer, everyone was surprised. At the same time, they all thought it was incredible. It was a copper ink cartridge with eight pieces of Qi Baishi's own paintings. If it was all paintings, it would be worth at least tens of millions. But even if it was only copper ink cartridge, it would not be worth 100000 yuan.

Congratulations to Chu Chen for picking up the leak again. Uncle Wu said strangely: "Lao Chang is also strange. With his smart mind, he can miss such a good thing."

Chuchen said with a smile: "in fact, it's not just him. I just looked at the authenticity and estimated the value because the copper ink cartridge was cheap. In the end, I didn't see much about this row."

Wu Ke nodded, thinking that it was really possible that it was because things were cheap that Lao Chang was careless. However, he gave Chu Chen a few false points and said, "you, is there too much money? How can you treat this antique business carelessly? If you are careless next time because things are cheap, you will suffer a big loss sooner or later. "

Although Chu Chen did it for a reason, it was not convenient to explain. Uncle Wu said it for his good, so he nodded repeatedly to show that he was open-minded.

At this time, Xiang Facai asked with a smile: "this Mr. Chu, do you have any idea of transferring these ink cartridges? "Chu Chen shook his head with a smile: "Mr. Xiang, you know, the price of copper ink cartridge is still in a relatively low position. Even with the influence of Qi Baishi, the value will still be affected by the overall market. Now I will definitely not pass it on."

Xiang Facai heard that he was sorry, and immediately asked, "when the market price can reflect the real value of the copper ink cartridge in the future, can you transfer one to me?"

Chu Chen was a little embarrassed when he heard this. He said, "Mr. Xiang, you should have heard me about my private museum just now. This matter..."

Although Chu Chen didn't say the result, he couldn't understand what he meant. He could only sigh with regret.

Next, after enjoying the copper ink cartridges for a while, Chu Chen asked Zhou Wenping to bring back the Mao porcelain from the porcelain capital for Xiang Facai and others to appreciate.

Xiang Facai and others marveled at these porcelains and said they wanted to order several sets. However, Chu Chen said with a smile that the number of top-level imitations produced each year is limited, and there is a limit to the number of imitations produced without quantity, and one person can only buy one set at most.

They are all businessmen. Of course, they understand that scarcity is the most important thing. They can understand the limited quantity. In addition, Chu Chen gave them a discount, so they ordered not only a set of top imitations, but also some high imitations.
