Chapter 972

Chu Chen continued: "actually, I think if the price of walnuts is high to a certain extent, there will be another situation, which will lead to the" shrinkage "of walnuts. However, this abbreviation is in quotation marks."

Wu Ke listened to this words some strange: "what situation?"

Chuchen said with a smile: "it's very simple. I told you before that walnuts can be divided into three sizes. For example, there is only one millimeter difference between 44 and 45, but the price is much lower. Some unscrupulous businessmen will make up their minds on this."

Wu Ke was a little surprised and said, "it shouldn't be."

Chuchen said with a smile: "the antique market is a mixture of dragons and snakes. Some people can do everything for money. Now no one does it because the value of walnuts is not high. But if a pair of ordinary walnuts costs more than 100 yuan, it's not necessary. So I don't think it's 100% possible, but it's still very likely. "

Don't say, this is true for Chu Chen. With the rising market of Wenwan walnuts, when the better walnuts are at least a couple of thousands of yuan, there are a number of calipers on the market. The quality of the calipers is very good and there is no error. It's just that when the manufacturers make calipers, they have designed them. When they measure between 40 mm and 50 mm, they are all 1 mm large. It's a custom-made caliper for walnut sales. "

If you meet this kind of calipers, it is 45 to measure walnuts at that time. Go home to change your own calipers, and it will become 44 immediately. This kind of loss is not heavy. If 50 becomes 49, there will be more money lost.

So, if you want to buy walnuts, you'd better bring your own tools or go to an antique shop with a facade. In this way, even if there is something wrong with the walnuts, you won't even be unable to find the person in charge.

Next, the three went around the antique market, but it was probably because Chu Chen's good luck had run out of money when he gambled on Qingpi. In the morning, he didn't even buy anything he liked, let alone find clues related to the task.

At noon, chuchen found a clean snack bar and enjoyed a local special snack.

After dinner, Wu Ke asked, "ah Chen, where shall we go this afternoon?"

Chu Chen said, "go on to the places you didn't visit in the morning."

Wu Ke frowned and said, "but we don't have a goal. If we want to find a clue, we have to take a chance. Is it too passive?"

Chu Chen was also quite helpless about this and said, "I can't help it. I can only do it for the time being. Tomorrow, let's go for another day. If we haven't found it yet, let's... "

As soon as he said that, his mobile phone rang. Looking at the number, it turned out that it was Mr. Liu, and he quickly picked it up.

After a while, Chu Chen finished the call, put away his cell phone, and said to Wu Ke with a smile, "OK, cable."

Wu Ke asked: "what's the clue? Has that group been found? "

Chuchen said with a smile: "the main character has not been found, but according to the present progress, it should be fast."

Wu Ke looks disappointed after hearing this. She doesn't know what's going on these two days. She is a little homesick, so she wants to go back early. Therefore, she hopes to find the gang as soon as possible.

After a while, she picked up her spirits and asked, "what's the matter with Mr. Liu calling you?"

Chu Chen said: "previously, the master asked colleagues here to help inquire about the situation. He found that there was something suspected in an antique shop, so he wanted me to help identify it."

He also saw Wu Ke's idea, and then said: "coco, we'll go home tomorrow afternoon at most, don't you think?"

Wu Ke was a little embarrassed and said, "ah Chen, it's OK. I'm just homesick. I'll call my mother at night and have a chat."

Chuchen said gently: "well, we really don't have much to do here. We will be able to go back tomorrow..."

After comforting Wu Ke, we set out to the antique shop that Mr. Liu said on the phone.

The antique shop mentioned by Mr. Liu is in another antique market, but the two markets are not far apart, and it's only five minutes' drive away.

When they came to the antique shop that Mr. Liu said, a boss was receiving a customer.

The boss is an old man in his fifties. He wears a pair of black frame glasses, speaks slowly and quietly, and is quite elegant. The guest was a middle-aged man in his forties, who seemed to be well dressed.

The middle-aged man was picking up a yellow ground pastel lotus pattern six square Narcissus basin and looking at it carefully. When he saw that at last, he could not put it down, so he asked the boss how much he would give up.

There is a rule in antique trading. There should be no third party present when buyers and sellers trade. The boss who doesn't know the rules will persuade him to leave, while the boss who knows the rules will take the initiative to avoid. Because the transaction information is leaked, it is easy to cause all kinds of disputes and misunderstandings.

See two people began to talk about the price, chuchen with Wu and Zuoshan to the side to avoid, lest let the boss to persuade.

"Count you eighty thousand."The boss was quite satisfied to see that chuchen was very disciplined, but he didn't know that, in fact, with chuchen's ear power, he could still hear what they were saying.

"Ah! It's so expensive The middle-aged man made a startled appearance and said that he couldn't accept the price.

It doesn't matter. In the field of antiques, it's natural to bargain. The boss patiently explained:

"this Narcissus basin is a modern official kiln. It's very rare. It's not expensive for 80000 yuan."

Earlier, Chu Chen also looked at the Narcissus basin a little.

This Narcissus basin is folded along the mouth of the plate. The whole body is hexagonal, with an arc belly and a bunch of shins. The inner and outer soles of the plate are painted with pine green color. The blue flowers and plants along the mouth of the plate, and the golden Pink Beaded pattern. The outer wall is painted with yellow branches and colorful lotus patterns. Six alum red gold ruyi heads and feet are connected by blue beaded belts.

The patterns of Narcissus basin are exquisite and neat, such as carving and embroidery. More than ten kinds of pastels are selected and matched. They are fine, gorgeous, complex and not disordered, so they are extremely elegant. It's really a rare thing, as the boss said.

Of course, the boss's offer is a little bit expensive. Chu Chen thinks that the market price is about forty or fifty thousand, which is appropriate.

Originally, chuchen thought that since the middle-aged man liked the Narcissus basin, he would return it to his own psychological price, or he could not afford to put it back. But the middle-aged man suddenly asked, "boss, I don't know how much you paid for the Narcissus basin?"

When the boss heard this, his face changed immediately. He took back the Narcissus basin from the middle-aged man and put it back to its original place. He never looked at the middle-aged man again.

This made the middle-aged man particularly embarrassed. At last, he became angry. He walked out of the shop and said angrily: "what! It's just asking for a price. If it's inconvenient, just say it or not. What kind of airs do you put on? "

Seeing this, Chu Chen secretly shook his head. The middle-aged man broke the rule that the antique shop was not allowed to inquire about the original price of goods. He didn't know that he was either a novice or didn't understand the rules.

You know, an antique in an antique shop was acquired by the coincidence of the boss's eyesight, luck, chance and many other factors. The price is probably the only one, which also contains the boss's years of accumulated experience and a lot of effort and tuition fees, so it is immeasurable.

If the buyer goes to inquire about the purchase price of the boss, it's like a friend who buys tools from the boss of a tool factory. The selling price of the tools is 8000. The boss of the factory gives him 5000 preferential price for the sake of his friends. However, when he calculates the purchase price of steel and the labor cost, he feels that the cost is less than 200. Therefore, instead of being grateful, he complains. Do you think the boss is unjust?

The rule of antique shop is just like this. The owners buy things based on their own experience and channels. Why should they tell you the price? What's more, it's a normal thing to make an eye on antiques. What if the boss buys something expensive? Don't you ask like this to expose each other's scars?

After the guests left awkwardly, the boss apologized to Chu Chen and said with a smile, "I was rude just now, but this man really doesn't understand the rules! Even brothers should follow the rules. "

Chuchen smile: "maybe he is a novice."

The boss shook his head: "forget it, don't say it, little brother, I don't know what you want?"

"I really like that Narcissus basin. I don't know how much it costs at least?"

Chu Chen was not in a hurry to get down to business. He liked the Narcissus pot just now, so he was ready to make a deal first. He took the Narcissus basin into his hand, looked it over carefully, and asked the price.

The boss gave a little smile and asked for 80000 yuan. Chu Chen knew the value of the thing and could not agree with it, so he came and went for a while, and finally made a deal for 48000 yuan.

After completing the transaction, the boss asked with a smile: "little brother, I don't know what else you need. If you like porcelain, I have some treasures here."

Chuchen said with a smile: "boss, let's not talk about business first. In fact, I have an appointment to come to you to see something."

Boss smell speech a Zheng, some strange ask a way: "little brother, we should just know, I didn't seem to have asked you before?"

"My name is Chu Chen. I don't know if you have any impression, boss." Chuchen introduced himself with a smile.

The boss was a little confused at the beginning. After a moment, he suddenly said, "Hey! You are Mr. Liu's disciple! I said, "why didn't you say it earlier?"

Chuchen said with a smile: "this is not just to see a favorite thing, I want to get it first."

The boss shakes his head and says, "if you can't get rid of the money, then you can't bury it."

Chu Chen waved his hand with a smile: "let's go one yard at a time. I think this Narcissus basin is quite suitable for 48000. Moreover, it's impossible to buy such a thing at the auction."
