Chapter 953

Seeing that Chu Chen put the bottle back, Zhou Daya quickly asked, "boss Chu, what do you think of the things?"

Chuchen laughed and said, "it's OK. I don't know what the price is."

Zhou Da Ya said with a smile: "boss Chu, since it's you who want it, and I've always known Lao Wu, it's 80000."

Old five said: "big teeth, since we are old acquaintances, 80000 is too high, I'll give you a real price."

Zhou Da Ya shook his head: "Lao Wu, which time did you say I didn't give you the lowest price? What's more, since boss Chu wants things, can I still make a high price? "

"After all, it's peacock blue glaze blue and white in Jiajing period. I'll take it with me."

Chu Chen does not believe that because of his own reasons, the other side will deliberately offer a low price. Moreover, most of those who do antique business are not only experienced storytellers, but also performing artists with high level of rap.

If you spend a few years in the collection industry, you can certainly hear many stories about antiques, and they are more and more novel and magical. If you are a conscientious person and record them, you can compile a collection of stories.

Therefore, Chu Chen would not believe that the lowest price Zhou Da Ya would give Lao Wu every time.

"No, no! Forty thousand is too low. " Zhou Daya strongly disagreed with the price: "let's not fight, then 60000!"

"60000 is too high..."

After a while of bargaining, they finally closed the deal for 51000 yuan. Chu Chen was not very satisfied with the price, but such a beautiful blue and white with peacock blue glaze was rare. Generally speaking, he was quite happy.

When the deal was finished, the fifth man said, "big tooth, you call me to come here. It's not necessarily such a thing, is it?"

Take this big smile: "I'll wait for more than one periodontal."

Chu Chen said: "boss Zhou, don't take them one by one. You can take as many as you have. As long as the things are good, I can take them down."

After all, chuchen also has a museum in preparation. In order to enrich the collection, even if Zhou Daya takes out more things, as long as they satisfy him, it's OK to buy them all.

Because his family was in urgent need of money, Zhou Da Ya called Lao Wu to get rid of some valuable antiques as soon as possible. Seeing that Chu Chen said so, he couldn't refuse. So he went into the inner room with Zhong Dingsheng to get things.

After they left, old five said to Chu Chen in a low voice: "boss, Zhou Daya likes to do some small moves. He can't say that the following things will be mixed with some sand and mud. You should be careful."

Chuchen nodded with a smile, indicating that he would pay attention.

After a while, Zhou Daya and Zhong Dingsheng came back with two small boxes and one big box in their hands.

Inside the first box is an emerald snuff bottle, which is made of whole material. Both sides are filled with two pieces of seven character quatrains in regular script, one chanting the scenery and the other expressing the aspiration. The two poems complement each other. The sidewall of the cigarette pot is carved with "Zhongchun yuti" and "Qianlong Jiawu" respectively.

It's exquisitely engraved, its poetry is relaxed, its flow is easy, and its writing is elegant. However, it's only made of ice, but its value is a little lower. It's only about 40000 or 50000 yuan in the current market value.

In the second box, there is a jade ox ornament, which seems to be carved from a whole piece of high-quality Hetian white jade, and the sculptors look quite exquisite.

However, as soon as the object arrived in his hand, Chu Chen frowned secretly, because although the weight of the jade ornament was ok, he found that the weight of the ornament was lighter than that of the real jade based on his understanding of the proportion of the jade.

In addition, although the jade has lines, it looks unnatural, with an artificial trace. In addition, it has a bigger flaw, and there is no impurity inside.

You know, jade is formed by the cooling of lava during volcanic eruption. Because it is formed naturally, there are many impurities in ancient jade. This is the reason why it is difficult to find a good jade with crystal clear. But no matter how good the crystal clear jade is, it must have impurities, lines and changes.

Judging from the formation conditions of jade, it is obviously impossible for jade without impurities to exist.

In addition to the material of jade, the sculptors of this jade ornament imitated the style of the palace building office during the Qianlong period, but the makers obviously did not reach the level of ancient craftsmen, which made it seem a bit nondescript in the eyes of experts.

Finally, the surface of the jade was not even covered with paste. Even if it was genuine, as a jade, it could not even be covered with paste after so many years.

With all these, Chu Chen can be sure that this jade is not only a fake, but also a contemporary recycled jade.

What is the return jade?

In fact, today's counterfeiters melt the waste of inferior jade or jade at high temperature, smelt the impurities, and then cool them.

The jade made in this way is very pure and has no defects, but also has no wonderful change of natural jade grain. The ancients didn't think of this method, but they couldn't get enough high temperature to melt the jade. But now it's very easy to do. With one oxygen lance, a mass of waste jade can be melted into magma in a few minutes.It is also because there is no big environment when the lava cools and the pressure is not enough that the proportion of jade is not right and it is lighter than real jade.

If you want to say that the jade made in this way is really very confusing. As soon as it was put on the market, many collectors were deceived. However, Zhou Da Ya obviously found the wrong object. Even if Chu Chen didn't use the power, he could immediately see its authenticity.

The last box contains a pair of Ruyi, which are made of tortoiseshell. They are basically the same size, with brown and light yellow patterns on the surface.

This pair of Ruyi is engraved with squirrel grapes on the front and Wanzi patterns on the back, which means "generations after generations". Craftsmen use the unique "living pattern" carving method to make squirrels move. The grapevine is strong and powerful. The craft is exquisite and meticulous. Judging from the carving style and other characteristics, this Ruyi should have been made in the middle and late Qing Dynasty.

Most of the Ruyi like this are single pieces, while a pair of them are rare. Coupled with the exquisite carving, they can be regarded as rare utensils.

When Chu Chen and Lao Wu finished reading the three things, Zhou Da Ya quickly asked, "you two, what do you think of my three things?"

"Not bad." Chu Chen nodded: "in addition to this jade ox ornament"

hearing the word "not bad", Zhou Daya's face showed a happy look, but the last sentence made him feel like eating flies. He quickly said: "what's wrong with this jade ox ornament? Don't you think the materials and the sculptors are all in the style of the Qing court office? "

Chu Chen slightly shook his head: "boss Zhou, I don't like this thing."

Zhou Da Ya was shocked when he heard the speech, and immediately he reacted. Since Chu Chen said he didn't like it, he naturally had his reasons. As for whether to tell him or not, it all depends on Chu Chen's meaning. Besides, this kind of thing can only embarrass both sides.

Zhou Da Ya saw that Chu Chen had decided that something was wrong, and he also had some regrets in his heart, so he said, "boss Chu, what's your price for these two things?"

Chu Chen said, "boss Zhou, it's not in line with the rules, is it?"

The reason why Chu Chen said this is that in the field of antiques, if the owner wants to sell antiques, he has to ask a price first. If the seller doesn't offer, the buyer will never offer. This is to prevent the owner from selling fake antiques, and it is true to judge the price according to the market.

You know, Chu Chen is a famous expert. It is possible for Zhou Da Ya to estimate the price of things through Chu Chen.

In addition, if the seller's offer is too high, the buyer has the right not to bargain. If the buyer and the Seller fail to conclude a deal due to price differences, and the seller goes to the next place to negotiate, and the deal is still not concluded, then when he goes to the first buyer, the first buyer will not buy unless he likes something.

With a smile, Zhou Da Ya says in secret what's the matter with him. He doesn't achieve what he wants. He's in a mess.

"Boss Chu, let's make it two times. Let's make it this price..."

"No, it's too high. At most..."

It's a battle of words again, and the two finally took a step back and closed the deal at a win-win price.

Chu Chen wrote a check directly to Zhou Da Ya, and then he was ready to leave.

At this time, Zhong Dingsheng asked: "boss Chu, do you have any interest in bronze mirrors?"

Chuchen nodded with a smile and said, "as long as it's a good thing, I will not refuse it."

"OK, I'll get it now..."

After waiting for a long time, Zhong Dingsheng came back with a box. As he opened the box, he said, "boss Chu, to be honest, I'm going to dispose of all the goods in my hand, and I'm going to retire. Now that everything else has been found, the only thing left is this bronze mirror..."

Chuchen listened and looked at the box. There was a very good looking black lacquer bronze mirror in it. He knew it was a genuine one.

"Boss Zhong, what does this bronze mirror say?"

Zhong Dingsheng said with a smile: "it's true. I heard that when I found this mirror, I put it in the master's arms, and the surrounding bronzes were almost corroded, but the mirror was covered with ancient black paint, and the appearance was excellent. Because of this, it took me a lot of effort to get it at the beginning, so I put it all the time now."

Chu Chen nodded slightly. From Zhong Dingsheng's words, he got several pieces of information. First, the bronze mirror was found when he robbed the tomb. Second, the bronze mirror was preserved so well when other things were almost decayed. There must be something special about it. This shows that the bronze mirror is likely to have high value.

Finally, Zhong Dingsheng paid a high price for buying this bronze mirror. If Chu Chen wanted it, it would not work if it was cheap.
