Chapter 1064

Chuchen listened to the story, but also can not help but a long sigh of relief, as long as this improved slurry liquid is not in the hands of CAI Jianxuan. Otherwise, the formula of this kind of slurry will surely come out. At that time, the antique market will be full of fake goods, and the industry will be destroyed.

At this time, Chu Chen suddenly thought of a question and asked, "master, when did this operation take place?"

"Early this morning."

Liu added: "the location is at the border of the capital and Yan province."

"That's not right!" Chu Chen frowned. There was something he didn't understand.

"What's wrong?" Liu asked curiously.

Chuchen said with a smile: "Cai Jianxuan is certainly not capable of predicting. What does it mean today..."

Originally, Chu Chen thought that the time of the action was a few days ago, so Cai Jianxuan and his group may feel too much pressure, so they arranged today's "gift giving" as a warning. But now he learned from Mr. Liu that the operation was carried out today. What do you mean by the several pieces of porcelain collected?

Chuchen said with a sneer: "Cai Jianxuan's abacus is very good. He warned us while he was shipping. He didn't worry that we would be angry at all."

After listening to what Chu Chen said, Mr. Liu was also aware of the problem, and it was obviously impossible that CAI Jianxuan could not have thought of it. It's said that these porcelains will be ready for shipment after a while, but the person in charge said that the porcelains have been reserved and will be delivered to the buyer tomorrow.

In this case, why should these two things be carried out together? Does Cai Jianxuan think they can't find out? But there is an old saying that if you want to be unknown, you can't do it yourself. Since you have done it, there will always be the possibility of being discovered.

Besides, it is possible that before the young man boarded the plane, they got the news of this morning's operation, so why not stop it? Don't they worry about self defeating? Although they may not know it, Chu Chen and Liu Lao thought of a possibility because of their unusual performances.

After pondering for a moment, Mr. Liu laughed: "it seems that these people are not united. This is really good news for us."

Chuchen said with a smile that he agreed. Since these people are likely to be at odds with each other, it is possible to break them from the inside. As the saying goes, the strongest fortress is often the easiest to break through from the inside. Perhaps today's discovery is the opportunity to uproot this gang.

At this time, Chu Chen looked at the porcelain on the table, suddenly thought of a question, said: "master, where do you think these porcelain will be produced?"

"It seems you have thought of it, too."

Mr. Liu said with a smile, "if it wasn't for the discovery of these porcelains today, and the man met Cai Jianxuan, who came back to China a month ago, and was almost fooled by him, this guy would have gone back to China quietly. It's really brave!"

"Does that person have a statement? Where is Cai Jianxuan?" Chu Chen was very excited and asked subconsciously. But as soon as he asked, he thought that he had asked a piece of rubbish. If there was any news about CAI Jianxuan, the master would have told him.

Liu's reply also confirmed Chu Chen's idea. The person in charge didn't even see Cai Jianxuan's people, but Cai Jianxuan sent someone to make an appointment with him at a hotel and handed the things over to him.

"Now that he has returned to China, we can't let him run this time!"

Old Liu shook hands hard, and then he sighed: "ah, this is a miscalculation. I thought he would definitely stay abroad during this period of time, but I didn't expect that he would play this kind of trick that the most dangerous place is the safest place. If I had known this, I would not have acted rashly. Now I can only mend it. I hope it's not too late. "

Chu Chen quickly said: "I will ask my friends to help me when I go back."

"Cai Jianxuan has had plastic surgery now. I'll give you the portrait later."

Mr. Liu nodded and then said with a smile, "I've been working for a long time, but I still want you to do it."

"That's what I should do."

Chuchen laughs. Next, because of the time, he and Liu chat for a while and then leave for home

The next day, Chu Chen drove to his museum alone.

When they arrived, they exchanged greetings. During this period, Chu Chen gave Yu renpeng and others a small gift brought back by Haojing. Then, Yu renpeng began to introduce Chu Chen's work progress during this period.

According to the original plan, now the main security measures in the museum have been completed. Chu Chen turns around and feels quite satisfied. It's 360 degrees without dead angle. It's no exaggeration to say that even a fly can't escape.

But good equipment also needs supporting rules and qualified management. Otherwise, no matter how good the equipment is, it will not play much role if it is operated by people who often leave.

Fortunately, in these two aspects, Chu Chen is using the doctrine, with Zhao Qirui to help him arrange, he is not worried at all.

In terms of manpower, there are also technicians, commentators and etiquette. Because of Yu renpeng's contacts, Chu Chen doesn't have to worry about them. In addition, with the help of Liu Ruida's company, he doesn't have to worry about etiquette.When Yu renpeng explained things clearly one by one, Chu Chen recalled that there were so many things to deal with in opening a museum. Moreover, this is not the most important exhibit. You know, the preservation and maintenance of these cultural relics is also a very complicated matter.

Fortunately, Yu renpeng and special technicians are responsible for these tasks, otherwise Chu Chen will have to be in a mess.

After explaining this period of time, Yu renpeng said to Chu Chen with a formal title: "curator, you are going to get married in a few days. When do you think the exhibition hall will be arranged?"

Many of the exhibits in the museum are valuable, and Chu Chen is also the curator. It's hard to say if he's not present when arranging the exhibition hall. But in a few days, Chu Chen will get married again, and there will be some conflicts in time.

Chu Chen thought about it and said, "well, I'll try my best to arrange my own time reasonably. When I'm here, we'll arrange the exhibition hall, and at other times, we'll sort out the exhibits. What do you think?"

"All right." Everyone nodded in agreement.

Don't think it's easy to sort and number the exhibits. In fact, the photos, sizes and data of the exhibits have to be recorded one by one. In addition, Chu Chen has a large collection. In a few days, a batch of Hailao porcelain will be consigned. It's impossible to deal with them in a short time.

As soon as the work was finished, everyone was busy, leaving Chu Chen, Yu renpeng and Fang Jinbo as Yu renpeng's assistant.

In other words, Fang Jinbo's work performance during this period is also remarkable. In addition, he is diligent and studious, and he is quite fond of antiques. Yu renpeng saw that he was very satisfied with Jinbo, so he told chuchen that he wanted to focus on training him. To this, Chu Chen also happily agreed, so let Fang Jinbo do Yu renpeng's assistant.

Yu renpeng thought of something and said: "by the way, the day before yesterday my friend had a red snuff bottle from heding in Qing Dynasty to sell. He asked me if I wanted it. I thought it was good and the price was cheap, so I bought it in the name of the museum. Or let's go and have a look now. "

As the deputy curator of the museum, Yu renpeng also has the right to buy antiques for the museum. Of course, after he bought them, he must be re appraised by the experts of the museum, and the price also has a limit. If the price is higher than the limit, he must get Chu Chen's approval.

"All right." Chu Chen nodded and then asked curiously, "elder martial brother, why didn't you stay by yourself?"

Yu renpeng waved his hand with a smile: "I'm not interested in this kind of animal products. If it wasn't for me working here, I would have pushed it off."

Hearing this, Fang Jinbo asked curiously, "isn't hedinghong poison? How can it be made into a snuff bottle? "

Chuchen said with a smile: "the red crane top in our antiques is not a poison, but a kind of bird skull."

"Ah, is it the skull of the Red Crowned Crane?" Fang Jinbo was very surprised. If the skull of the Red Crowned Crane is a well-known protected animal, it is too easy for people to gossip.

"How could that be..." Chuchen laughs and explains the origin of hedinghong for Fang Jinbo.

Hedinghong in antiques is not the poison in legend, but the skull of rhinoceros. The helmeted Hornbill, native to the eastern subtropical rainforest, was hunted and made into handicrafts because of its solid and beautiful headgear. It was introduced to China by way of tribute and trade, and was named heding. Therefore, they are not available at home. They are all imported from outside.

Heding had been introduced into China in Yuan Dynasty, but it was widely known by Chinese people after Zheng He's voyages to the West. It was often used as a tribute. However, the Ming Court's return to the four tributaries was actually a disguised transaction. Although heding is not a regular tribute, it also has to set the price as the basis of the system. In Hongzhi period, it is "consistent" to set the value based on the money price. At that time, Chaogui used it to make cups, belts and so on.

After the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the country was declining, of course, there was no tribute, so this kind of thing gradually became rare. There is a saying that rare things are expensive, so the price soars. Moreover, many people spread false information because they have not seen living things.

In the Qing Dynasty, because of the implementation of the sea ban policy, the trade with the producing areas was cut off, which gradually became the most popular.

Chu Chen explained to Fang Jinbo as he walked along. When he came to Yu renpeng's office, he also explained about it:

"in the Qing Dynasty, it was already equal to the price of a kilogram of ivory, and now it's even more expensive. However, the helmeted rhinoceros is now an endangered species, so we can't kill it at will. If it's a contemporary product, we can't accept it here Buy. "

"Well, I remember!" Fang Jinbo nodded clearly.

Yu renpeng walked into the rest room of his office. After a while, he came out with a box. Open the box and there is a golden snuff bottle inside.

Some species of rhinoceros family have a helmet, which is usually hollow, but the helmet rhinoceros is solid, so it can be used for carving. Besides, when it comes to the delicacy and luster, except for jade, there are no more bird heads. Bones have bone lines, ivory has teeth lines, and wood has wood lines. Only this kind of bird head has no lines. It's translucent. It's polished after carving. Generally speaking, it feels like jelly.This is the snuff bottle in front of us. It looks very pleasant. The overall height of the pot is no more than six centimeters, flat round pot body, round mouth, short neck, folding shoulder, the overall shape is beautiful. The story of Cowherd and weaver girl is embossed on the bottom of the pot. The composition is ingenious, the picture is rich, the details are handled properly, and the story is expressed properly. The shoulder is carved with gourd and crutches, belonging to the pattern of dark eight immortals.

After observation, Chu Chen judged that this snuff bottle should be made in the middle of the Qing Dynasty. The overall carving is exquisite and refined. In addition, the material is extremely rare. The best work in the world is rare and precious.

Chu Chen nodded and said, "yes, yes. It's conservatively estimated that the market value of this thing should be around 60000 to 80000."

Yu renpeng said with a smile: "my friend only needs 20000."

"Why is it so cheap?" Chuchen was a little surprised at the price.

Yu renpeng shook his head: "I don't know what's going on. He looked very worried that day, and he only wanted cash. If it wasn't for my business, I had fifteen thousand dollars in cash and borrowed some from other friends, otherwise I couldn't buy it. Later, I didn't feel at ease. I asked some friends about it, but I didn't hear anything about his family. "

"Maybe he has something urgent at the moment." Chu Chen can only think so.

Just at this time, the telephone on Yu renpeng's desk suddenly rang. He stepped forward and picked up the phone.

"It's me Huh OK, you give the phone to the security guard... "

Put the phone back, Yu renpeng said with a strange expression: "it's really said that Cao Cao is coming, and he has something to sell. It's really strange. If there's something wrong with his family, there will always be news coming! What the hell is going on! "

Chu Chen said: "wait for him to come and ask clearly, don't cause any disputes in the end."

Yu renpeng nodded: "yes, if he doesn't say it, he would rather not buy it."

After a while, the security guard came in with a man who was nearly 50 years old, slightly fat, and had obviously bald hair.

Yu renpeng first introduced the two sides, and then said with some surprise: "Lao Jia, how come you haven't seen me for three days? You've lost so much weight. Don't you have any problems?"

The man's name is Jia Yuqiang. He used to be a fat man with a weight of about 190 Jin, but now he only looks like 140 Jin. I haven't seen you for two days. I've lost so much weight, and he's in a hurry to spend money. No wonder Yu renpeng thinks something's wrong with his health.

But Yu renpeng thinks it's wrong. If Jia Yuqiang is seriously ill, how can it be that there is no news about him, and how can he sell things in person?

"Ah Jia Yuqiang sighed and shook his head: "it's too much to say! It won't be clear for a while. Let's see first. "
