One of the reasons why people say that Ding laoguai is an antique is that he can only talk about the price of things here one by one, and when the price is agreed, he must pay immediately, as if he was afraid that the buyer would go back later.
Just like now, there are still a few things I haven't seen after tomorrow. Old Ding looks at Chu Chen eagerly, waiting for Chu Chen to pay. This makes Chu Chen very speechless. Isn't it twelve thousand? As for such nervousness?
But on second thought, Chu Chen understood what he meant by Ding's doing this. He just thought that the price of two or more antiques would lower the price of the less valuable antiques. Sometimes, he even bought one for free.
For example, if one thing is worth 50000 and the other is worth 500, and two things are bought together, many people will basically ask for one free. It is obvious that this possibility can be greatly reduced by dint's method.
But then again, it's perfectly normal to buy 50000 yuan for 500 yuan in business. Mr. Ding refuses to give 500 yuan. It's a bit stingy. In the long run, how many people will be willing to do business with him? At least, if Ding laoguai was a normal businessman, Chu Chen would not come to visit him in the future.
Anyway, since this thing is his favorite, let alone pick up the leak, even if it's the market price, Chu Chen didn't want to entangle and paid directly.
When old Ding was counting money, Chu Chen said to Jia Yuqiang strangely, "old Jia, didn't you say you wanted to find a stone carving before? Why don't you want it now? "
Jia Yuqiang was unprepared for Chu Chen's words. He couldn't help but be shocked. What does Chu Chen mean by that? Do you want me to buy this stone carving, but this statue looks a little gray, and I can't see what a good thing it is!
Ding laoguai was also stunned at the beginning, but before Jia Yuqiang could react, he said with a smile:
"boss Jia, you don't look at this stone statue, but you can see that the sculptor's skill is very deep, whether it's the texture of the skin or the dynamic of the clothing, you can't take it back."
Jia Yuqiang sneered: "return the texture of the skin, you stone statues are all gray, can you see the skin? Are you still seeing through your eyes? "
Old Ding chuckled and said, "it's just that the soil is a little rusty. You can always clean it if you have more bubbles. This stone carving is not afraid of bubbles. What's more, it's a good sculptor, isn't it? "
Jia Yuqiang looked at the statue. He didn't think it just now, and now I don't know if it's because Chu Chen said that the more he looked at the statue, the better he thought it was. He thought maybe it was a good statue, just like Chu Chen thought.
Now Jia Yuqiang is much smarter than before. Even if he wanted to buy the statue in his heart, he didn't answer immediately. Otherwise, old Ding would ask the lion to open his mouth.
Seeing Jia Yuqiang's hesitation, Ding laoguai said, "boss Jia, how about it? If you really want it, I can make it cheaper."
"I'll take two hundred."
"My boss Jia! You must let me make some money. Two hundred dollars is too low. You can add a little more. Not much. Five hundred dollars will do
"It's a stone statue. 200 is enough. I'll add 30 more at most..."
In this way, the two bargain, and finally to 380 yuan deal.
Ding put the money into his pocket and then opened the other boxes. There were two seals and two pieces of porcelain in the boxes.
Two of the seals are with the shape of the seal, the material used is also tianhuangshi, and it seems that the material is good. The other two pieces of porcelain, one is a thin cup of doucai, and the other is a bowl of famille rose flowers.
When Jia Yuqiang saw these four things, he couldn't help his anger and said, "Mr. Ding, I'm a little curious. Since you have these good things, why are you still in this ghost place? You can go to Panjiayuan to open a shop."
Ding laoguai said innocently: "boss Jia, these things are not my own. I only take a small share. If these are my own, I will wake up in my dreams."
Jia Yuqiang chuckled and didn't believe it. However, he didn't say anything. Instead, he picked up the pastel flower bowl in front of him and looked at it.
The outer wall of the bowl is smooth and has no decoration. The inside of the bowl is painted with flowers, insects and butterflies. The petals of peony are plump and bright in color, which is a little bit like Kangxi double horned peony. However, they are not stiff at all. They are more realistic, just as vivid and natural as the breeze. There are three elegant chrysanthemums, which are quite fresh.
In the upper right corner of the pattern, a butterfly comes to smell the fragrance and dances among the flowers. The lines drawn are as fine as gossamer, which vividly depicts the colorful butterfly and shows the hustle and bustle of the season and the vitality of life. In addition, bowl low has "Qing Yongzheng year system" six character double line regular script.
It can be said that the porcelain is pure, elegant and beautiful. According to Jia Yuqiang's experience, it seems to be genuine. It makes him feel strange. Is it genuine? If it's genuine, why didn't Mr. Ding call him before, or did Mr. Ding get it these two days?Jia Yuqiang has some paranoia in his character. He can't believe someone if he trusts someone. If he doubts someone, he will totally deny that person. Now he has an opinion on Ding laoguai. Even if he uses Chu Chen's previous experience to identify it, he doesn't find any problem. He is still paranoid that there must be something wrong with this bowl, which he can't see.
Chu Chen does not know what Jia Yuqiang thinks, otherwise he must suggest Jia Yuqiang to see a psychologist. At this time, he has identified one seal and is carefully observing the other seal.
This is a seal engraved by Fang Xigang, a seal cutter, calligrapher and painter in Qing Dynasty. His paintings are natural and unrestrained, and his flowers have Yun Shouping's charm, which is very detached. Engraved in the Qin and Han Dynasties, it is as famous as Ding Jing, Huang Yi and Jiang Ren, and is also known as the four great masters of Xiling. The layout of the printing is changed. The style of the printing is simple and clear.
The seal in Chu Chen's hand is similar to the one just now. Specifically, the charm of the characters is not as good as the original. Moreover, it is similar to the knives used in the seals he saw earlier. He estimates that the two seals should be fakes made by Cai Jianxuan's gang.
What's more, the two seals also have one characteristic, that is, they are excellent in material. Although they are not the top grade tianhuangshi, they are also the best of tianhuangzhi. The material of the seal, coupled with enough knife work, Chu Chen estimates that eight of the ten buyers may be cheated.
"Boss Chu, what do you think of these two seals?" Mr. Ding asked with a smile.
"Not so much." Chuchen shrugged his shoulders.
"This is the seal carved by two people in Xiling eight's family. Don't you feel satisfied?" he said
"I don't think much of a seal with a seal." Chu Chen shook his head.
"Er..." Ding laoguai was swallowed by this sentence, he did not expect that Chu Chen would give such a reason.
Ding laoguai turned his eyes and said with a smile, "boss Chu, it doesn't matter if you don't like the seal. You can wear it off by yourself then."
Chuchen sneered: "you treat me as a fool. Of course, if you sell seals as materials, I can't consider it."
Old Ding chuchen laughs. What chuchen said is obviously impossible. So he turns back to Jia Yuqiang and asks, "boss Jia, are you interested in these two seals?"
"I haven't seen it yet. Why do you ask me?" Jia Yuqiang didn't have a good way back.
"What did this guy eat? He's so angry today." Old Ding murmured to himself. He didn't think that Jia Yuqiang already knew that what he had bought was wrong. The reason is very simple. If Jia Yuqiang knew the truth, how could he be so calm? He would have made a lot of noise.
In fact, the reason why Jia Yuqiang didn't make a lot of noise at the beginning was that Chu Chen repeatedly reminded him. Now, although Jia Yuqiang didn't see whether the pastel bowl in his hand was true or false, Chu Chen didn't want the pair of seals, which meant that they had problems. This immediately ignited the anger in his heart. It's strange that he had a good face.
Chu Chen saw that Jia Yuqiang's face was not right, so he quickly kicked him and motioned him to be calm with his eyes.
Before that, Chu Chen didn't know Ding's position in CAI Jianxuan's Gang, but now that he has found the seal problem, that Ding may not be as simple as an ordinary periphery.
After discovering this clue, Chu Chen certainly can't let Jia Yuqiang make a mess of it, which is why he gave the stone statue to Jia Yuqiang just now. The truth is that his mouth is short and his hands are soft. When Jia Yuqiang knows the value of the stone statue, he won't delay Chu Chen's business.
If Jia Yuqiang still wants to settle accounts at that time, Chu Chen will not introduce some extraordinary means.
Jia Yuqiang felt that he could not see the problem with the two pieces of porcelain with his own eyes, so Chu Chen was the first to see the doucai cup.
The cup is a piece of thin porcelain. The wall of the cup is as light as paper. It seems that the only thing you can see is the pure white glaze. The inner wall of the cup is smooth, and the outer surface is painted with a dragon pattern. The bottom of the cup is printed with six characters of "Ming Dynasty Chenghua year system". However, the form of dragon pattern and the writing of money recognition are different from Chenghua doucai.
In addition, the process requirements of thin body porcelain are extremely harsh, especially the most difficult one is to spin the body. One less knife is too thick, and one more knife will break the body. As a result, although they were fired occasionally in various dynasties, they were still inadequate. Only in the Yongqian period did the porcelain from the womb achieve its miraculous craftsmanship. The wall of the womb was as thin as an eggshell and transparent.
Chu Chen judged that it should be a Chenghua doucai cup imitated in the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty. But it's obviously more than that. After careful observation, he found that there are still some differences in the details. What's more, the slurry of this small cup is the same as that of Jia Yuqiang's case jar. It's all made in one way, but the slurry of this small cup seems more natural.
"These people are so powerful in research." Chu Chen was a little worried and thought that it was only a long time before the improvement of Baojiang had made great progress. Although the later, the more difficult it was to study, if the researchers got inspiration, it would not be necessary.
"This kind of thing is too urgent."Chu Chen sighed in secret, and then identified the pink flower bowl. To his surprise, he didn't find the problem at last, which made him feel very strange. At last, he simply used the power, and the result was really authentic.
Thinking that chuchen is the God of wealth, old Ding asked with a smile when he saw that chuchen put the bowl back in the box:
"boss Chu, are you satisfied?"
Chu Chen pointed to the pastel bowl and asked, "how much is this bowl?"
Ding laoguai stretched out three fingers and said with a smile: "this number."
Chu Chen seemed a little impatient: "can you have a good time, who knows how much you said!"
"Three hundred thousand."
"Bah, three hundred thousand! Why don't you grab it! It's only thirty thousand. I'll sell it or not! "
Next, Chu Chen was very determined. No matter what Ding laoguai said, he just didn't let go.
When Ding laoguai hesitated, Jia Yuqiang said that he was not interested in these things, which undoubtedly made a decision for Ding laoguai and agreed to Chu Chen depressed.
Chu Chen took 50000 cash with him, and the money in the pastel bowl was more than enough. He immediately handed the cash to Ding laoguai.
Ding laoguai counted the money again and again, until Chu Chen and his wife were very impatient, then they stopped. He asked expectantly, "boss Chu, what about this cup?"
Chu Chen stood up and said, "I have a cup like this at home. Do you think I dare to buy it?"
"Er..." Old Ding was stunned. A nervous look flashed in his eyes. Then he said with a smile, "boss Chu, don't worry. I can guarantee that this cup is genuine. What's more, when making this kind of small cup, you can't just make one. Maybe it's a pair with your family? "
"Forget it, my money is not from the strong wind. Come back when I go back to the teacher for advice." Chuchen said with a sneer in his heart, secretly, you are going, even if I promise who I will go to!
See Chu Chen said so, Ding old strange also not good to persuade again, otherwise appear among them have greasy, so can only regret to take things back.
Jia Yuqiang stood up and said, "Mr. Ding, do you have anything else? If not, we'll leave. Of course, if you want to invite us to dinner, we'll be happy to
Hearing the words "invite us to dinner", Mr. Ding's expression changed a little. After a ha ha, he jumped over the topic.
See this, Jia Yuqiang language with sarcastic stab a few words, then and Chu Chen out of the shop.
After they left, old Ding put away the things. Seeing that most of the things had not been sold, he sighed. Then, with a frown, he suddenly thought of a question, how could the fool in his eyes actually buy all the real things? What's the matter?
Whether it's coincidence or deliberate, Mr. Ding couldn't understand it for a moment. He thought about the performance of Chu Chen and Jia Yuqiang, and found that there was nothing strange about it. In the end, he thought that there was a greater possibility of coincidence
After a long walk, without waiting for Jia Yuqiang to ask questions, Chu Chen explained the whole story to Jia Yuqiang, and finally said, "Mr. Jia, I'm sorry to make you aggrieved for a while, but you can rest assured that Ding Laoqi will not have any good results."
The reason why Chu Chen told Jia Yuqiang about it now is that he didn't want Jia Yuqiang to know the truth. In the face of Ding laoguai, what he showed was wrong. Although the possibility is not high, what should be prevented is still to be prevented.
Knowing the whole story, Jia Yuqiang stopped complaining that Chu Chen didn't let him take revenge just now. He said with a smile, "if you can let me old Ding Guai go to jail, it's definitely better than my simple venting. Besides, you let me buy this statue! However, I really can't see the characteristics of this statue. "
The statue in Jia Yuqiang's hand is full of image, high combed green bun, ears drooping, eyes slightly closed, lips smiling. Wearing a scarf, five fingers slender, hand waving lute, micro side sitting on the lotus platform, like listening, looks solemn and dynamic.
Chu Chen pointed to the statue and explained with a smile: "this is actually a statue of Ji Letian. Although the surface is a little rusty, we can still see the characteristics of the sculptor of this statue. In addition to the colored decorations exposed in these places, I think this is a stone statue of Ji Letian in the Mid Tang Dynasty."
"In the Tang Dynasty?" After listening to Chu Chen's explanation, Jia Yuqiang was a little surprised and then asked, "what's its value?"
Chu Chen replied: "it's about 70000. Of course, it's certainly not worth the price now. After you go back like this, you can remove the rust on it."
Firmly put Chu Chen's method of removing soil rust in his mind, Jia Yuqiang said with thanks: "director Chu, thank you very much."
Chu Chen waved his hand and said with a smile, "if it wasn't for you, I don't know about Mr. Ding. We'd get what we need."
"Where, where!" Jia Yuqiang quickly complimented Chu Chen. Just as Chu Chen had thought before, with a statue worth 70000 yuan, if Jia Yuqiang still complained, he would be too greedy.
Then, Jia Yuqiang asked curiously: "curator of Chu, I venture to ask, does that lion dragon statue have any way?"Chuchen said with a smile, "let's go to dinner first, and talk about it while eating."
With that, they went to the car. Zuoshan came down from the car and said, "Chu Shao, I found something just now."
"What discovery?" Chu Chen spirit a vibration, hurriedly ask a way.
Zuoshan said back: "you just told me the appearance of Mr. Ding. I found that just after you went in, there was a man who was very similar to Mr. Ding. He went from there to the lane over there and took a box from a middle-aged man. After chatting for a while, he came back from the same way."
"Later, I followed the middle-aged man and found that he was driving a Santana, so I called Mr. Liu and reported the situation and license plate number to him."
Chu Chen nodded happily: "that's good. That's what we should do."
