Chapter 992

Not long after the car drove out, Chu Chen received a call from Chen Dewang. On the phone, Chen Dewang repeatedly apologized to Chu Chen, but Chu Chen generously said that it didn't matter. After all, this is not what Chen Dewang wants to see, he can't be evil.

Although Chu Chen said it was ok, Chen Dewang felt sorry for Chu Chen, because if it wasn't for him, Chu Chen couldn't have bought things at the market price of 150000 yuan. After all, Jia Decai's things were on sale in a hurry. If he sold them to others, it would be good if he didn't give them a 50% discount. In any case, he couldn't have bought them at the market price.

Therefore, Chen Dewang thought in his heart that he would like to thank Chu Chen when he has a chance in the future.

After hanging up, Chu Chen sends a message to the person who used to be responsible for inquiring about Jia's whereabouts, asking them to pay attention to Jia's whereabouts. Then, when he saw that it was still early, he asked Zuoshan to take him to his Siheyuan to see the progress of the construction. After a turn, he was generally quite satisfied.

After lunch, Zuo Shan stayed in the courtyard, and Chu Chen drove back to the antique shop by himself.

When he got there, Chu Chen found that Uncle Wu was not there, so he asked Zhou Wenping. To his surprise, Uncle Wu went home to have a rest after getting drunk, which made him very curious.

Although Uncle Wu also likes drinking, he is very restrained when he goes out, especially when he is in the shop. Even if he drinks, he only drinks a small cup. In my memory, Chu Chen has never seen Uncle Wu get drunk in the shop. Do you think he is curious?

Later, Zhou Wenping told Chu Chen the cause of the incident, and Chu Chen understood what was going on.

It's impossible to say that Uncle Wu has been in the antique business for so many years and can be friendly with everyone in his trade. But the circle of antiques is really not big. Let's say that some famous antique dealers in the capital's antique business have met and heard about them.

In line with the idea of not looking up but looking down, Uncle Wu would not show too much even if he had a dispute with some antique dealers or didn't see each other right. But Uncle Wu was gnashing his teeth at an antique dealer named Ren Shiguo. The two sides had already reached the point where fire and water could not tolerate each other. Whenever they had a chance, they would fight each other.

In a word, Uncle Wu's temper is good enough. He won't get angry easily. He can be said to be a good old man in the antique industry in Beijing. Many people like to deal with him. It can be seen how bad he is if Ren Shiguo can make him so angry.

Ren Shiguo started his business in antiques very early. In the late 1980s, he began to set up a stall to do business. He was smart and good at seizing opportunities. In a few years, he opened an antiques shop by picking up the money he had missed several times.

In fact, Uncle Wu and renshiguo were still good friends at that time. Many of renshiguo's things were sold to Uncle Wu. Moreover, Uncle Wu was honest and honest, and the price he gave renshiguo was fair. What's more ironic is that Uncle Wu helped to talk about the shop of Ren Shiguo's antique shop. After they had a bad relationship, it became a thorn in Uncle Wu's heart.

Since Ren Shiguo opened an antique shop, he has become arrogant, and he is no longer as cautious as before. For example, he used to call Wu shulao Wu. Since he opened an antique shop, he changed his size and became Lao Wu.

This is nothing for Uncle Wu, but he can't stand it when Ren Shiguo prides him on his business. Of course, Ren Shiguo also knows that prying is easy to be criticized by others. He usually does it secretly. But once, in front of Uncle Wu's face, he prized the Qing Kangxi colorful Ma Gu xianshou, which Uncle Wu had already negotiated, which made Uncle Wu very angry.

What makes Uncle Wu even more angry is that a week before that, Ren Shiguo sold him a piece of Huanghua pear furniture from the late Ming Dynasty to the early Qing Dynasty, which was actually a piece of "loose head".

Bashantou, also known as "mountaintop", is an Antique Restoration term. It was originally used to evaluate the repaired old calligraphy and painting, especially the repaired old furniture in the old furniture industry. Mostly refers to the repair of damaged crafts, or to cover the eyes of the repair.

"Pai San tou" has the meaning of picking up the scattered things. It can be seen that it has a derogatory meaning in the antique industry. It is different from "repair". Repair is open, while "Pai San tou" is often hidden, in order to deceive people.

This huanghuali furniture was purchased by Uncle Wu's friend. Originally, Uncle Wu didn't give a definite answer because he was not very proficient in the identification of classical furniture. Unexpectedly, Ren Shiguo told Uncle Wu that he had something suitable in his hand when he heard the news. Uncle Wu went to see it without much thought.

In the process of looking at it, Uncle Wu didn't find anything wrong, but he was explained by Ren Shiguo with reasons and guaranteed that the furniture must be genuine.

In antique business, honesty is the most important thing. Most people don't take what they have said as fart. Therefore, seeing that Ren Shiguo could guarantee the authenticity of the goods, Wu Shu bought them, but he didn't expect such a result.

What makes Uncle Wu even more angry is that when he went to Ren Shiguo to settle accounts, the other party didn't admit that he had said the truth at the beginning. He was so anxious that he even asked Uncle Wu to come up with the evidence of what he said.

This was a gentleman's agreement. How could Wu Shu get the evidence? He just suffered a dumb loss and finally lost money.Since then, Wu Shu and Ren Shiguo have been on the opposite side. In this year, countless conflicts and secret wars have broken out between the two sides, and the sum of money lost by them is estimated to be at least 100000. Of course, most of them were contributed by Ren Shiguo. Who calls Uncle Wu a good character? Everyone is willing to help him?

However, it was because of the kindness of Uncle Wu that Ren Shiguo dared to do this to him. Otherwise, Zhao Xueyi would have done him a trick.

As the old saying goes, if people don't know, they have to do nothing. As Ren Shiguo's character is known by more and more people, and he often does things at the expense of others and himself these years, he is also rejected by more and more antique dealers. Finally, he can only stay at his antique shop.

As we all know, there is an old saying in the antique shop that "if you don't open for three years, you can eat it for three years". Ren Shiguo's antique shop has been standing up all these years because it can do business from time to time.

However, with the vigorous development of the antique market, Ren Shiguo saw that many antique dealers around him had made a lot of money, and he was also a little anxious. A while ago, by chance, he met a master of antique imitation porcelain, so he put his mind to it and got into a batch of high imitation porcelain.

Ren Shiguo is not from Beijing. He originally planned to sell the high imitation porcelain and go back to his hometown to open an antique shop. Unexpectedly, it backfired. A buyer found out that he was buying high imitation porcelain. Yesterday afternoon, he went to Ren Shiguo to make trouble. As a result, the incident immediately spread. This morning, a buyer came to his shop and asked to return it. What's more, he called the police, He said he was going to jail.

Listening to the cause and effect of the matter, Chu Chen gloated and asked: "where is the official state now?"

Zhou Wenping shook his head: "many people are looking for him, but we haven't found anyone. It's said that they have already gone to other places. Now some buyers have come to his house to block the door. If it wasn't for the old people living in his house, maybe all their belongings would be empty."

Chuchen laughs. Anyway, even if it can be solved, Ren Shiguo can't get it right. He is still very happy to hear about such things.

While they were talking, they saw an old customer named Wang Ruyang come in.

Wang Ruyang just said hello to them, then said excitedly: "do you know? There's another accident in renshiguo's shop. "

They both thought he was talking about imitating ancient porcelain, so they both nodded.

Wang Ruyang said with a smile: "if I say, Ren Shiguo deserves it. If he sells sporadically, it doesn't matter. He has bought more than 100 pieces at a time. Now that it's good, people are hiding and the shop is empty."

Hearing this, Chu Chen asked strangely, "what stores have been emptied?"

"Ah! Don't you know? " Wang Ruyang was a little confused.

Zhou Wenping said, "we thought you were talking about imitating ancient porcelain. How did you get involved in the antique shop again?"

"Oh Said: "just now, Wang Shiyang smashed open the door of the antique shop, and then he said that it was empty."

"Is nobody in charge?" Chu Chen and Zhou Wenping were quite surprised.

"Who cares about the character of the official state?" Wang Ruyang opened the shop and said, "I heard that the man who broke the door also had some background. What's more, he bought something for gift giving. As a result, he sent a fake. Can you not be angry?"

Chu Chen shrugged his shoulders when he heard the speech. Although he didn't like to do things so out of the ordinary, Ren Shiguo's actions should also be in accordance with the old saying that heaven's evils can still be forgiven and he can't live.

Everyone expressed their views on the matter of Ren Shiguo. Wang Ruyang took out a small gourd, put it in front of Chu Chen and said, "teacher Chu, I just bought a hand twisted gourd. Could you please comment on it?"

"No problem." Chuchen nodded with a smile and took the gourd into his hand.

In recent years, China's traditional "literary gourd" is more and more favored by players in the capital's antique collection market. Because the pronunciation of gourd is similar to "Fulu", it has the auspicious meaning of wealth and longevity. Since ancient times, it has been a traditional mascot in China. In China's traditional architecture, gourd modeling is also a common decorative element. Traditional Taoism even takes gourd as a sacred weapon.

Because of the unique auspicious meaning of gourd, with the vigorous development of antiques collection, the small and lovely hand twisted gourd is becoming more and more popular among the players. For a time, the cultural gourd gradually began to occupy a place in the entertainment circle of the old capital.

Gourd market is roughly divided into playing gourd, ornamental gourd, branded gourd, shaped gourd, insect gourd and so on.

Wang Ruyang's gourd is a pyrograph gourd. As the name suggests, the pattern on the pyrograph gourd is burned by a modified electric iron, so it's only black.

The above paintings are mainly divided into: scenery, people, animals, ancient myths, ancient spirit animals (such as: dragon, Phoenix, unicorn, three legged crow, etc.) and other auspicious patterns.

Chu Chen measured the height of the gourd with a vernier caliper, and the whole body was about 4.2 cm. It should be said that although this height of hand twisted gourd is not small, it is rare in the gourd with electric iron painting.Think about it. It must be very difficult to paint on a 4.2 cm object if the author does not have superb skills and wants to complete the painting, but also to reflect the artistic value.

Chu Chen appreciated the gourd in his hand and said with a smile, "Mr. Wang, the gourd you chose is very good."

Wang Ruyang was very happy that his own things could be affirmed by chuchen. He arched his hand to chuchen and said, "please give me some advice."

"I'll give you my opinion."

Chuchen explained: "first of all, your gourd is thick, smooth and glossy. This gourd will change color automatically over time. Gourds like this last a long time. As long as they don't fall, they won't break. They can be preserved for a long time. "

"What's more, the effect of such gourd pyrography is also very good, and the mark will be copper and black over time. The gourd with poor texture is thin and vulnerable. It has no luster. No matter how old it is, it will not change color. The mark on it is just that there will be no copper mark on the underworld... "
