Zhao Qirui shook his head and said, "that's what it is. These people really don't have to use it for anything."
Chu Chen nodded his head: "speaking of opal forgery, there is still a copy of the" opal essence ", which is real enough to be chaotic. Actually, it uses glass like material to encircle a colorful crystal plate. This kind of thing can be seen clearly with a microscope or a high-power magnifying glass. Moreover, the specific gravity and refractive index of the crystal are higher than those of the true opal. By comparison, there is a big difference, and it is relatively simple to identify. "
Jiang Jiachang said with a bitter smile: "simple is for experts like Chu Shao. Just like my necklace, it's very easy to identify, but I can't understand it before
"If you take a cut, you will gain wisdom."
Zhao Qirui patted Jiang Jiachang on the shoulder and said, "but how did you think of buying opal necklace?"
"Hey! It's my little girl who has been clamoring for it. It's just her birthday. I'll buy a necklace for her. "
Jiang Jiachang explained: "at that time, after I bought the necklace, I just saw these three jadeite ornaments. I thought they were good, so I bought them by the way. I didn't expect that they were all genuine, but there was something wrong with the owner! I'll ask him later what it means. I've been doing business with him for so many years. How dare I cheat me! "
At the end of the day, he couldn't contain his anger. Originally, he asked Chu Chen to help him look at the jadeite, but he wanted to confirm the quality of the jadeite. He never thought that the other party would sell him a fake, but the result was like this. How could he not be angry!
Zhao Qirui said with a smile: "Jiang pangzi, what's so angry about this? Maybe the other party made a mistake because of something? Aren't you angry for nothing
Jiang Jiachang didn't think that the seller would be stupid enough to cheat him, and the necklace was not expensive. If he cheated him in this way, it would not be worth the loss. After hearing this, he nodded: "I hope so, otherwise I want him to look good..."
After Jiang Jiachang put away the jewelry, we talked about fishing for porcelain for a while. However, we didn't see the real object, so it's not convenient for us to talk about it in detail. As for the source of the things, Zhao Qirui didn't ask much. As the saying goes, cats have cat ways, rats have rat ways. It's better to ask less about this kind of thing, otherwise he won't understand the rules.
When it was almost time, the party went to the club. After entering the club, they still sat in the old position, drinking tea and chatting.
As time went on, the guests came in one after another, but the careful Chu Chen found that there were fewer guests who had been here in the morning and more strange faces. He guessed that it was probably because these people were only interested in shooting in the morning or afternoon that they had the choice to come.
Near the beginning of the auction, Chu Chen saw an old man walking in with a well-dressed middle-aged man behind him.
However, what makes Chu Chen feel a little curious is that Zhao Heyan seems to know the middle-aged man, and when she sees him, her eyes are full of disgust. When the middle-aged man saw them, Chu Chen obviously felt that he was stunned, but he immediately followed the old man and sat down in a seat inside.
"Xiaoyan, do you know this man?" Wu Ke also felt that the atmosphere was different, so he asked curiously.
Zhao Heyan said, "it's my mother's relative. It looks like it's dignified, but it's practical Ha ha
Chu Chen had conjectured before, and the fact is just what he thought. In the words Jiang Jiachang said in the morning, it's true that people can't judge appearance. However, it should have nothing to do with them. It can be seen from Gao Yiya's indifferent attitude towards this person.
As in the morning, when the auctioneer walked onto the rostrum with a smile on his face, the scene immediately became much quieter. The auctioneer said something as usual. When the first auction appeared on the screen, the afternoon auction officially began.
In the afternoon's auction, there were more than 30 items to be auctioned, of which bronzes, calligraphy and painting accounted for the majority, and the lowest starting price and the highest starting price were calligraphy and painting works.
Because the auction used rice yuan, the lowest one is fan Kuan's "high hidden picture of summer mountain", the starting price is about 5000 RMB, and the highest one is Shi Tao's "five hundred Arhats", the starting price is about 500000 RMB, a hundred times difference between the two.
Although most of these bronzes were unearthed cultural relics, Chu Chen's performance was not as intense as that of this morning.
It's not that Chu Chen didn't want to shoot, but that when he paid at noon, someone in charge came over and asked him to raise his hand in the afternoon. To this end, the steward also proposed that Chu Chen could buy two national treasure level bronzes at a more favorable price.
Of course, Chu Chen didn't agree all of a sudden. After a lot of bargaining, he finally got another one, but the other side asked that the transaction could only be completed after the auction. Since he said so, chuchen of course also let the other party set up a document, otherwise empty talk, this is not chuchen's territory, and it will be a troublesome thing to go back.
It's a pity for Chu Chen, but he can't help it. After all, it's the other party's territory. When the time comes, the auction party can buy the things and sell them next time. Moreover, the other party may make some dangerous moves. In this case, it is also a wise choice to choose bagging for safety.Of course, although he agreed to the other party's request, Chu Chen would not be timid. He would also participate in the bidding when he met those he liked or those with high value. For the auction company, it doesn't matter if Chu Chen sold a few pieces, as long as he controlled a certain number.
The auction was lively and fierce, during which Zhao Qirui and Jiang Jiachang also made several moves, all of which were successful.
Because there are not many works of calligraphy and painting that can be sold, the auction put several heavyweight bronzes in the middle of the auction, making the atmosphere of the scene has not been ups and downs.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we are very honored to invite Mr. Li, our famous collector in Haojing, to this auction. Mr. Li is one of the world's top connoisseurs of calligraphy and painting. Now, let's invite him to introduce the next work, Shi Tao's five hundred Arhats
Just as the auction process had passed most of the time, the auctioneer gave a warm introduction. As soon as the words were finished, there was a lot of discussion.
Mr. Li, the auctioneer, is indeed a top calligraphy and painting expert in Haojing, and a household name in the field of Haojing antiques. However, this person's wind rating is not very good. The main reason is that this person is too greedy for money. It costs a lot to let him identify a painting.
However, this person has a little advantage. After receiving your money, things will be done well, and he is really powerful. Over the years, except for the first few years when he made mistakes, up to now, no painting has made any mistakes, and the level of appraisal can be seen.
"Next, let's welcome Mr. Li with warm applause!"
With that, the auctioneer took the lead in clapping. While the guests applauded, they all looked at the door and wanted to see Mr. Li.
After a while, just at the entrance where the auctioneer came in, there came out a thin old man in Tang costume, who was exactly what the auctioneer called Mr. Li.
After Mr. Li came on stage, he showed his intention to everyone, and then he started to give you a detailed introduction to the "500 Arhats" on the screen behind him.
"Hey! Even old man Li has been invited, so he is willing to spend money. "
Seeing Jiang Jiachang's disdain when he spoke, Zhao Qirui asked with a smile, "why do you have a conflict with this Li?"
Jiang Jiachang said with a smile: "I can't say contradiction. It's just that I asked old man Li to identify a Chinese painting through my friend's relationship before. As soon as he opened his mouth, he asked me for 100000. He also said that if it was genuine, his fame would be more than 100000."
"Because old man Li can buy a painting for tens of thousands of yuan, but if I don't buy it, it's worth tens of thousands of yuan."
Chu Chen was a little surprised and said, "isn't it true that it costs 100000 for everyone to ask him to identify something?"
Jiang Jiachang said with a smile: "no matter how expensive it is, he charges the appraisal fee based on the quality and value of things. The reason why my painting received 100000 yuan is that I don't know who the author of the painting is. Besides, I have a small fortune, so he opened his mouth
"Did you let him identify it?" Asked Zhao.
"Of course not. I'm not a fool." Jiang Jiachang sneered: "later, I went to another expert to identify the painting. It turned out that the painting was only painted by a famous painter in the Qing Dynasty. The highest market value was no more than 50000 yuan. Moreover, the expert also said that with old man Li's ability, as soon as he saw the painting, he could basically know who the painter was. Do you think he was black hearted? "
Everyone agrees with this. Since Mr. Li already knows the value of the painting, it would be too much to ask for 100000 yuan. If Mr. Jiang Jiachang agrees, he knows the result, and even if he wants to blame him, he can shirk it for various reasons.
While everyone was talking, Mr. Li was about to finish the introduction. Although he had not come to a conclusion yet, both inside and outside the words, he was saying that the painting was authentic.
This makes Chu Chen very speechless. Since Li's appraisal level is so high, Chu Chen doesn't want to believe that he won't be able to see the truth, which leads to this situation, but he must be "collecting money to handle affairs".
At this time, Jiang Jiachang said: "however, although old man Li died for money, his level is OK. Our antique industry also agrees with the result he gave. It seems that the transaction price of this painting can't be cheaper. "
Hearing this, chuchen and their faces all showed a smile.
See this situation, Jiang Jiachang some strange asked: "how, I said wrong?"
Zhao Heyan chuckled and said, "Uncle fat, this painting was carefully identified by my brother yesterday. It's not authentic at all."
"What?" Jiang Jiachang exclaimed, because the voice was too loud, even the guests sitting next to him looked over.
"Keep your voice down!" Zhao Qirui patted him heavily on the shoulder.
"Hiss! Sorry, sorry! I was just surprised. "Jiang Jiachang immediately realized that he was wrong and apologized to everyone. Then he seemed to be a little incredible and asked, "is it really a fake?"
"I don't think it's a fake. I think it's a copy of Zhang Daqian. The collection value is still very high, but it can't be compared with the original..." Chu Chen then gave some simple reasons.
Jiang Jiachang was stunned, but the disbelief in his eyes didn't subside much. The reason why he had such a performance is that Zhao Qirui didn't introduce Chu Chen in detail just now. Therefore, he only knows that Chu Chen is an expert in gambling stones.
What's more, Chu Chen is an expert in gambling stones at such a young age. It's incredible for him to have another expert in calligraphy and painting.
Zhao Heyan snorted: "fat uncle, I think you should see the collection world of Beijing TV station. My brother is an expert invited by this program."
"Eh?" Jiang Jiachang was stunned at this.
Zhao Qirui said with a smile: "don't, er, gambling stone is only a sideline of ah Chen. He is mainly engaged in antique business, and he is also a close disciple of Liu Lao."
Jiang Jiachang looked at everyone in disbelief. Seeing that he really didn't mean to be joking, he scratched his head and said with a bitter smile, "the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. Compared with Chu Shaoyi, I feel really old."
Zhao Qirui said with a smile: "well, don't compare with my nephew, compare with him, don't talk about you, I will be ashamed."
Chu Chen said modestly that what his uncle said was too exaggerated. He just had better talent in this field. If he was in other industries, he would not be able to compete with everyone.
Wu Ke laughs at Chu Chen's remarks. With Chu Chen's ability to see things through, he can learn a lot of industry knowledge as soon as he learns it, and then practice it, he can be competent for his work. Of course, it's too private. In order to avoid being hit hard, she won't say it. Haha!
After a sigh, Jiang Jiachang quickly returned to his senses and asked, "Chu Shao, according to what you said, old man Li is taking people's money to eliminate disasters for others?"
Chuchen shrugged his shoulders: "is it necessary to say that? However, the boundary of calligraphy and painting appraisal is too vague. It's entirely the public saying that the public is right and the old woman saying that the old woman is right. Unless Zhang Daqian comes to life and admits it himself, there will still be a battle of words. Moreover, even if the old Li loses in the end, he can use all kinds of reasons to shirk for himself. If someone else helps, his reputation will not be greatly affected. "
Jiang Jiachang thought about it and said with regret, "ah! It's a pity. I wanted to disgust old man Li. It seems that it doesn't work. "
