Chuchen said with a smile: "this is not good. The price I originally gave was relatively conservative. Now if I buy it at this price, it will be poked in the spine."
Speaking of this, he pondered for a moment and said, "just three million. What do you think?"
The reason why Chu Chen said this price was also his consideration. First of all, the original valuation he gave was not very high, because in terms of Zhao Ji's reputation, the transaction price of the painting at the beginning of the year was still relatively low, and the valuation based on this was indeed relatively conservative.
If you make a copy of a work, you can't say it's worth one tenth of the original. But if you make a copy, it's worth only one tenth of the original.
Therefore, Chu Chen gave a price of three million, which is more in line with his psychological expectations. As for whether the price is expensive or not, different people have different opinions. The value of antiques is not so easy to define. Anyway, for Chu Chen, he certainly can't lose money.
For example, if Chu Chen sells this painting now, plus his fame, let alone three million, four million people buy it. If it is in the name of Liu, it will be even higher. This is still in ordinary occasions, if the auction, with such a gimmick, the final transaction price is even more difficult to estimate.
Of course, the reason why Chu Chen added so much at once was that he asked Uncle Chen's family for help. After all, he still had the family's affairs to ask them for help. If they finally help him, he will be able to achieve his wish and bring him benefits, and half a million may not even get a fraction. In that case, why did he even give up a mouthful of soup?
Hearing the price given by Chu Chen, Uncle Chen's family had a feeling that they were stunned by the money. After a while, Uncle Chen came back to himself and said with some difficulty, "Miss Chu, do you give a little more?"
Chuchen said with a smile: "don't worry, sir. Since I dare to give it like this, I can't lose anything. If you like, we can sign an agreement right away
"This..." Mr. Chen looked at his family and found that they all looked at him and urged him to agree as soon as possible. He immediately nodded and said, "OK, I'll sign!"
There is a ready-made agreement in Chu Chen's bag. Take it out, fill it in and sign their names. Later, when everyone went to the bank to transfer the account, Chu Chen said goodbye to Uncle Chen's family.
As soon as Chu Chen was ready to walk to the door of the car, he saw the old lady running after her and shouting.
"What's the matter, madam?" Chu Chen asked.
"That's what happened."
The old lady was a little embarrassed and said, "Miss Chu, my cousin has lung cancer. The doctor said that she can live for a month at most."
At this point, the old lady paused, her face full of sadness.
Hearing this, Chu Chen said, "Auntie, life, aging, illness and death are natural laws, and your health is not very good. Don't be too sad."
The old lady shook her head and sighed: "I understand the truth, but the key is that my cousin is still young. It's a pity to leave now."
Chu Chen said: "there is no way to do this. Moreover, although I can treat some difficult and miscellaneous diseases, there is definitely no way to treat terminal lung cancer."
The old lady immediately said, "Mr. Chu, I don't expect you to cure my cousin. It's just that because of the spread of cancer cells, she began to feel pain these two days, and she lost a lot of weight than before. So, I want to ask you, is there any way for acupuncture to help her reduce her pain? "
Chu Chen thought about it and said, "according to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, this aspect is feasible, but I have to see the specific situation myself before I know. I don't know when you want me to go?"
The old lady said gratefully, "Miss Chu, I know you are busy. I'm sorry to disturb you all the time. If it's convenient for you, you can go tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. "
Chu Chen asked again, "is she OK today?"
The old lady nodded and said, "no problem. At noon today, I called the nurse. She said that the situation is OK for the time being, and it can be controlled by drugs."
Chu Chen said, "well, I'll call you when I go back to arrange things."
"OK..."
After telling the old lady goodbye, Chu Chen drove back to the museum. When he came to Yu renpeng's office, he realized what was going on. It turned out that one of his friends had brought a guest over and said that she had a bottle of pastel landscape figures from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty for sale.
At the beginning, Yu renpeng thought it was a fine product. But when he looked at it, he felt that there was something wrong with it. But he could not see where there was a problem. After all, he was good at identifying bronze and jade, and only studied porcelain.
So Yu renpeng called Chu Chen and asked him to come back soon.
However, when Chu Chen saw the guest brought by Yu renpeng's friend, he couldn't help but feel a little shocked, because this person was no other than Uncle Wu's enemy. The wife of Ren Shiguo, who had an accident some time ago, was su Chunjiao.As an old saying goes, it's not that a family doesn't enter a family. Su Chunjiao is no better than Ren Shiguo. Although there is no direct conflict between chuchen and her, because of her father-in-law, chuchen has no good impression on her.
Therefore, when he found out that she wanted to sell antiques, Chu Chen almost said to drive her out. However, since it was Yu renpeng's friend who brought it, he had to give the eldest martial brother a face, but it was obviously impossible to ask him to give a good price later.
Su Chunjiao had some impressions of Chu Chen before, especially after Chu Chen became famous. She even scolded the director for being blind in front of the TV. At this time, she was particularly disgusted with Chu Chen and wanted to leave immediately.
But now the form is better than others. Even if she doesn't want to sell things to Chu Chen in her heart, because Ren Shiguo is in a hurry to use money, she can't wait for the auction. Because of Ren Shiguo's character and her serious lack of high-quality channels, she can only stay and hope to sell things at a good price.
Next, Yu renpeng made an introduction for both sides. His friend's name was Yang Qingyue. At first, he was surprised that Chu Chen was the owner of the museum, but he immediately responded, shook hands with Chu Chen with a smile and said some polite words. Judging from his manner, he should not be aware of the contradiction between Chu Chen and Su Chunjiao.
As for Su Chunjiao, she said hello to Chu Chen with a stiff smile and said nothing. This makes Yu renpeng and Yang Qingyue feel very strange. Since you have something to sell to Chu Chen, it's always right to be polite, not to mention warm-hearted. Now what are you going to do?
Chu Chen didn't care what Su Chunjiao's attitude was. He said that he wanted to look at the bottle on the table first. Of course, we didn't have any opinions.
The neck of the bottle is painted with yellow ground pink patterns of flowers, bats and intestines, and the abdomen is painted with pink landscape patterns of landscape figures. The shin part is a variant lotus petal pattern, and the foot wall is painted with a Hui pattern. The blue and white script with six characters and three lines "made in Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty" on the ground of turquoise green glaze on the outside.
The landscape painted by this instrument has dense and appropriate pattern composition, distinct layers, and well arranged scenery. The strokes are natural and flexible, and the rendering is textured. It is just like a Chinese ink landscape painting with strong appeal. It has unique artistic charm and shows the painter's skilled craftsmanship and artistic cultivation.
If this is the only point, it's really an excellent work of art. Note that it's just a work of art, because based on Chu Chen's current experience, at the first sight of the object, he knows that it's a high imitation, because its surface is made of slurry.
Chu Chen put the bottle back in place, shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, we don't have any demand for this thing for the time being."
If such fine antiques are genuine, they will never have "no demand". Therefore, the meaning of Chu Chen's words is self-evident, which makes Yang Qingyue and Su Chunjiao very surprised.
Su Chunjiao surprised after, immediately showed a very angry expression, break big curse: "chuchen, you are so shameless villain! What's the expert? I think you're just a dog
Yu renpeng and Yang Qingyue are very surprised at Su Chunjiao's reaction. Recalling Su Chunjiao's attitude towards Chu Chen just now, is there any contradiction between them?
For Yang Qingyue, no matter what conflicts they have, since Su Chunjiao was brought by him, his face was not bright when he said such impolite words, so he immediately frowned and said: "sister Su, don't talk nonsense!"
Su Chunjiao roared: "what nonsense! I'm talking about the fact. Isn't there a contradiction between my country and his father-in-law? Because he didn't have the bottom line of professional ethics to do so? "
Chu Chen would not be surprised to say anything to Su Chunjiao. However, since the other party said that he had no professional ethics, he would not say something for himself. It's really possible that he might be misunderstood by someone who doesn't really look like him. He sneered and said, "Ms. Su, how can I confuse black and white?"
Su Chunjiao laughed, then took out a document from her handbag, threw it on the table and said coldly, "this is a document issued by the national science appraisal center. Open your eyes and see what it says!"
When Chu Chen picked up the document and looked at it, he saw a line written at the conclusion above, which roughly means that the chemical composition of the porcelain surface submitted for inspection is more consistent with the chemical composition of the official kiln porcelain in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.
Su Chunjiao sneered: "how, is this document true?"
"It's true." Chuchen laughs.
Su Chunjiao said sarcastically: "experts are experts. They can still laugh at this time."
Chuchen said with a smile, "what can't I laugh about? Do you really think such a document can be used as proof of authenticity? I don't think you asked your family before you did this test. Otherwise, based on his character, how could he let you spend money wrongly? "
In fact, as Chu Chen said, it was su Chunjiao who decided to do the test. It's not that she didn't know that the scientific appraisal can only be used as an auxiliary basis sometimes, but she felt that since it was a test document issued by the state, it could also have a certain value-added effect on the price of porcelain.Of course, the most important thing is that because of her interest, she doesn't know much about antiques. Of course, she won't know such a way.
Su Chunjiao listened to Chu Chen's words, but she also had some weakness in her heart. She said: "if you say it's useless, it's useless! Can you even overturn the documents issued by the state authorities in a word? "
Chu Chen felt a little innocent: "when did I overturn this document? If you talk such nonsense again, I'll sue you for slander! "
Su Chunjiao pointed to Chu Chen and said, "just now you said that documents can't be used as evidence to identify the authenticity. Now you have to say that again. It's really shameless of you!"
"What does it have to do with being able to prove that the document is right?"
Speaking of this, Chu Chen didn't want to talk to this kind of people any more. He explained directly: "first of all, as long as it's porcelain, most of its chemical composition is the same. Secondly, the first step for the current counterfeiters is to make a chemical analysis of the porcelain, and then establish the chemical composition of the imitation. "
"In the end, they can go to the official kiln site to get materials, and then use the process at that time to make them. Of course, the chemical composition is the same. How much help do you think it can help to identify the authenticity in this case? "
Su Chunjiao opens her mouth and wants to refute Chu Chen, but it is obvious that Chu Chen has a very reasonable point. In this respect, she is sure that she can not find a reason to refute.
"Even if the documents can't prove the authenticity of the thing, but this thing has been identified by many experts, and you can overturn the conclusion of so many people in a word?"
See Su Chunjiao moved out experts, but with Ren Shiguo's reputation, many well-known experts in the capital are unlikely to do identification for him.
So Chu Chen asked with a smile: "since you say so, can you name these experts?"
Seeing Su Chunjiao's hesitation and hesitation, he said with a sneer, "I can't tell! I tell you, first of all, the coating of this thing is wrong. It's made of coating liquid. "
"So it's (what's) slurry?" Yu renpeng looks a little suddenly. No wonder he didn't see the specific problem. He used to use Baojiang liquid, which is now a more advanced method of counterfeiting. As for Yang Qingyue, because she had never heard of this method, she was more curious.
"Yes." Chu Chen nodded, and then gave a brief introduction to the two of them about the Baojiang liquid and the method of identifying the old porcelain made by Baojiang liquid.
