Chapter 1077

After hearing this, Uncle Wu said with a smile: "for those of us who know how to run an auction company, we know something fishy, but ordinary people don't know it. What's more, the auction company shuangshiluo is looking for is still famous in our country. How many people doubt that the expert appraisal they are looking for will make mistakes? "

As mentioned earlier, Sotheby's, as an auction giant who has lived for more than two hundred years, has seen a lot of ups and downs. It must have been auctioned more than once, but many of them have not been disclosed.

If such a thing is not reported in the news, how can ordinary collectors think that such a big auction company would make such a mistake?

After listening to Uncle Wu's words, he felt that it was the truth: "ha ha, let shuangshiluo worry about it."

Chu Chen nodded and said, "the problem now is how to buy the remaining four figurines."

Five frowned and said, "it's hard! It's not so easy to take these four figurines from Chang Zili. "

Chang Zili is the spade that shuangshiluo said. He is very smart in business. He is the owner who wants to break a cent into two. If he knows that five figurines are in Chu Chen's hands, Chu Chen can't buy them at any price.

Although Chang Zili didn't know that shuangshiluo had sold things to chuchen, he just wanted to make money by relying on these figurines, so he would not sell things to chuchen.

Therefore, Chu Chen was killed by Chang Zili, so he had to rely on procrastination.

Chu Chen thought about it and said, "brother five, you should contact Chang Yongli first to see what he means. If the price is not expensive, buy it. If he wants to be expensive, wait until I'm busy for a while."

"Yes, but how much is the price appropriate?" Asked the fifth.

Chu Chen thought about it and said, "as long as it doesn't exceed 700000, no matter how expensive it is, let him die and stay."

"I see..."

Later, Chu Chen dealt with some other matters and drove to the museum with the figurines

Two Chen to participate in the wedding, however, the identity of Chu and Wu Chen's friends can be very low-key.

Although not many people came to attend, there were old Chu, old Zhao and old Liu present. Even if the wedding was low-key, it was difficult to be unobtrusive.

…………

The time soon came to September 1st. During this time, Chu Chen's main energy was spent on the museum, and even his honeymoon was postponed. However, Wu Ke didn't complain about it, which made Chu Chen feel very ashamed. As soon as he had time today, he accompanied Wu Ke to various scenic spots in the capital.

After a happy morning, they went to a snack bar to taste the local snacks.

After a mouthful of delicious sugar fire, Wu Ke asked uneasily, "ah Chen, is there really nothing wrong with the museum?"

Chu Chen smiles and shakes his head: "don't worry. Everything in the museum has been handled. Even if something happens, senior brother can handle it. Don't worry, our task today is to play carefree. "

Speaking of this, he looked at Wu Ke affectionately and said: "coco, I'm really sorry, for my business, even the honeymoon time has been delayed!"

Wu kechen said strangely, "what do you mean by that? As the saying goes, if you have a family, you have to deal with your career. I don't want to delay your business because of me."

Wu Ke's words make Chu Chen feel even more guilty. Just as he holds Wu Ke's hand and is ready to say something, he sees a girl who looks less than 20 years old coming in with an angry face, followed by a young man with a sad face.

The girl angrily sat on the chair and asked aloud, "tell me what to do now!"

Originally, there was still some romantic atmosphere, which was immediately destroyed by the girl's loud questioning, which made chuchen frown and dissatisfied.

"Jiajia," the man said with a sad face, "although it can't be returned, it must be a treasure. It's a big deal. I'll sell it in other places later. I promise it will cost more than 50000 yuan."

Hearing this, the girl was even more angry. She angrily scolded: "you said that more than 50000 would be 50000? What's your guarantee for this?! I tell you, we're divorced! "

With that, she got up from her chair and was ready to leave.

In the hotel, including Chu Chen and Wu Ke, they were a little surprised when they heard the word "divorce". They didn't expect that the girl was young and had already married. However, when they think so, they probably didn't expect that in other people's eyes, they are similar to the young couple.

When the man heard that he was going to divorce, he was immediately worried. He quickly took the girl's hand and said, "Jiajia, don't do this, OK? It's absolutely a treasure, you have to believe me"I don't want to hear it!"

With tears in her eyes, the girl complained loudly: "believe you, how can you make me believe you? Less than a month after we got married, you paid 50000 yuan for such a thing. It's the money my parents gave us to do business. Why don't you discuss with me before you use it? Do you have me in your heart? "

With that, she began to cry.

The girl's cry made the man feel a little embarrassed. At the same time, his hand became tighter. He said in a hurry, "Jiajia, what do you want us to say alone? It's really bad for me. I shouldn't have bought it without telling you, but it was really urgent at that time. If I didn't buy it, it would have been bought by others! "

After hearing this, the girl became even more angry: "you are a pig. Last time my father told you such a trick, why are you still so brainless? Besides, if things are really good, why do you want to return them now, but the boss doesn't agree? This is not a liar. What is a liar? "

Hearing this, the man lowered his head, but his hand didn't relax.

"Put Hands The girl shook her hand and saw that the man's hand lines were still. She gritted her teeth and said, "Wang Hailei, do you want to put it or not?"

Wang Hailei shook his head firmly: "no

For a moment, the couple were deadlocked while the other guests were watching.

Seeing this, Wu Ke felt soft hearted and said, "ah Chen, go and help them."

"All right." Chuchen nodded with a smile, then went to the couple and said with a smile, "Mr. Wang, I don't know what you bought. Do you want me to help you

Wang Hailei was stunned when he heard the speech. Then he felt that Chu Chen's appearance was familiar. He pondered for a moment and thought about it fiercely. He was excited and unbelievable and said: "you Are you Mr. Chu Chen

"I'm Chu Chen."

See chuchen smile admit, Wang Hailei surprise abnormal, feel oneself came to a savior. The snack shop's Chen also wanted to let them come over.

In this regard, Chu Chen did not refuse to come, and so on to deal with the signature, see the guests are watching the show around here, he felt that this snack bar is not suitable for identification, and Wu can and the couple came to a cafe not far away.

Asked the waiter for four drinks, Wang Hailei quickly took out a jade pendant and handed it to Chu Chen.

This jade pendant seems to be carved from white jade. It is skillfully carved with a butterfly spreading its wings and standing on a flower branch. The wings of the butterfly are stretched out and carved with phoenix eye pattern. The head must be curled, as if it vibrates slightly in the wind between the stamens, and the flowers are in full bloom, which is the beautiful implication of "butterfly loves flower".

Chu Chen said, "Mr. Wang, can you tell me the origin of this jade?"

"It's too much to say!"

Wang Hailei said something about him in frustration.

It happened yesterday. He and a friend came to visit nearby. When they passed an antique shop, they went in to have a look.

Wang Hailei usually likes to watch antiques programs. He went to this antique shop just to join in the fun. He never thought about buying it, let alone spending 50000 yuan on a jade.

However, when he saw the jade pendant in front of him, it attracted his attention. He thought the butterfly pendant was really beautiful, and it had a good moral, so he liked it very much.

It's a pity that the price of this jade pendant is too high. The boss says that it's 50000 yuan, and he can't make a counter-offer. For an ordinary person who just got married, it's not a small amount, which makes him hesitant.

Coincidentally, just as he was appreciating the jade pendant, an old man came in and took a fancy to it.

The old man claims to be a professor in the History Department of Jingcheng University. He is willing to buy this jade pendant, but he doesn't have so much cash on him. Moreover, the old man doesn't have the habit of swiping his card. He usually uses his passbook, so he has to go back to get the money.

Wang Hailei was also in a hurry when he saw that the old man wanted to take away his jade pendant. It happened that his parents in law left them 50000 yuan in business on his card, so he paid directly by swiping his card and bought the jade pendant.

Happy to go home with the jade pendant, Wang Hailei didn't get the praise he expected. Instead, he was scolded. First, his parents and his newly married wife. When his parents-in-law heard the news, they came to scold him all night.

In the end, Wang Hailei had no choice but to take his wife to the antique shop to return the goods. However, they refused to return the goods. As a result, he reached the present situation.

Listening to the cause and effect of the incident, Chu Chen secretly shakes his head. Wang Hailei's situation is very common in the antique market, and most of them end up losing money.

He asked, "Mr. Wang, how did you believe that this jade pendant was real?"

Wang Hailei touched his nose and said with some embarrassment, "it's mainly intuition. I graduated from Jingcheng University. I'm very familiar with that old man. He should be a professor in the History Department of Jingcheng University."

When Chu Chen heard the word "intuition", he was even more speechless. Antique identification is not a gamble. The possibility of buying genuine products by intuition does exist, but the probability is needless to say. Otherwise, if you can identify the authenticity of things by intuition, then why do you need experts?After hearing this, Qian Jia, Wang Hailei's wife, said: "you don't know him. How can you know that he must be a professor in your school?"

With an embarrassed smile, Wang Hailei quickly interrupted and asked, "teacher Chu, is my jade pendant real?"

Chu Chen did not answer directly, but asked: "Mr. Wang, when you bought it, the other party told you that it was Hetian white jade, right?"

"Yes, the boss was afraid that I would not believe it. He also compared this seal with the seal of Dian Mo Yu." Wang Hailei took out another jade and added: "later, the boss gave it to me."

"Compared with Mo Yu and Bai Yu, the boss can really do it." Chuchen was almost happy when he heard this, but when he saw the so-called seal Wang Hailei took out, he was stunned.

"Mr. Wang, can you show me this one?"

"Gangmao? Isn't that a seal? " Wang Hailei strangely handed the seal he thought to Chu Chen.

Chu Chen excitedly took gangmao into his hand and observed it carefully. He found that it was one of the five, which made him almost laugh.

After he finally calmed down, Chu Chen said seriously, "Mr. Wang, let's talk about your jade pendant first."

Then he put gangmao aside, picked up the jade pendant and said, "first of all, you should have stepped on thunder. This jade pendant is not made of Hetian white jade, or even white jade."

"What?"

Wang Hailei was stunned when he heard this, but Qian Jia was desperate and said, "don't you think this is a treasure? You said it was more than 50000! Wang Hailei, what guarantee do you take now! Well Why is my life so hard... "

Seeing Qian Jia burst into tears, Wu Ke hurriedly went to comfort her in a low voice.

After a long time, Wang Hailei came back and asked bitterly, "Mr. Chu, please tell me what this thing is made of."

Chu Chen replied: "it's made of emulsified glass, lead powder and wax filler. Glass is clean and transparent, lead powder can increase the specific gravity, and waxy fillers can cover up the transparency and light of glass, also known as devitrified glass. Because its luster, transparency, color, fineness and other appearance are extremely similar to natural Hotan jade, it is difficult to distinguish with the naked eye. "

Then he told Wang Hailei the method of identification.

After listening to Chu Chen's explanation, Wang Hailei wants to cry without tears. This situation is completely caused by his fantasy of making a lot of money and greed. But now that this is the case, what can he do now?

"Wang Hailei, I want to divorce you!" Qian Jia cried out in despair.

Wu Ke also looks down on what Wang Hailei has done. You say that you are an old man. Can't you think clearly before you do something? It's easy to say if you're alone and you earn money yourself, but you're married and your parents in law give you the money to do business. It's really unreasonable.

However, Wu keting sympathized with Qian Jia's experience, and didn't want to see a couple who had just been married for less than a month split up like this. She comforted her: "Jia Jia, wait a moment, ah Chen hasn't finished yet."

Qian Jia sobbed and said, "it's all this way. Can things turn for the better?"

Chuchen said with a smile: "you're right, Mr. Wang's business actually made money this time."

"What! Isn't this jade pendant fake? How can you make money? " Qian Jia's face is full of disbelief after hearing this, and Wang Hailei is also very confused. He doesn't know what chuchen means.

Chuchen said with a smile: "the jade pendant is really fake, but this gangmao is real, and it is still made of high-quality Hetian black jade, and its value is not low."

"Really?" The couple asked in surprise.

"Of course, how can I lie to you in such a thing?" Chuchen laughs.

Wang Hailei also responded and said: "teacher Chu is also an expert, and certainly won't cheat us."

Qian Jia snorted coldly and then asked, "how much is it worth?"

Chuchen said with a smile: "the quality of this piece is very good. I think it should be worth 150000 yuan."

"150000!"

Wang Hailei opened his mouth and the girl opened her eyes. It's amazing that she made 100000 yuan after a night of shopping for 50000 yuan.

Wang Hailei regained his mind and cried to Qian Jia excitedly: "Jia Jia, we can rent a bigger shop!"

"What are you excited about? It's just your luck!" Qian Jia stares at Wang Hailei, but from the excited look on her face, she is not calm.

After a while, Qian Jia asked, "teacher Chu, do you accept this?"

"Yes, do you want to transfer or check?" Chuchen nodded with a smile. Even if Qian Jia didn't say anything, he would try to buy things. Now it's better."Check, I'm so big, I haven't seen a check yet!" Qian Jia said with a smile. At this time, she didn't worry about Chu Chen's writing a fake check, not to mention Chu Chen's fame. If Chu Chen really wanted to write a fake check, just now she said it was fake, wouldn't it be more convenient?

After signing the check, Chu Chen, who was in a good mood, popularized the method of identifying the authenticity of the check for them. Seeing that Qian Jia collected the check carefully and contentedly, he said to Wang Hailei seriously:

"Mr. Wang, I have to say that you are really brave, but you can't just be brave to buy antiques. The most important thing is to have the corresponding knowledge and experience Once you're lucky enough to get away with it, but it's not often. "

"Yes, yes! I will bear your instruction in mind Wang Hailei nodded repeatedly. At this time, he was still scared. Even if Chu Chen didn't say anything, he didn't dare to buy any more antiques.

With a check of 150000 yuan, the couple can't sit still. However, chuchen and Wu don't speak, and they are embarrassed to leave immediately. Fortunately, both chuchen and Wu can understand the couple's feelings and then propose to leave.

Looking at Wang Hailei and his wife who were scrambling to pay, Wu Ke said with a smile: "they will be very disappointed in a moment."

"Why?" Chu Chen seemed a little curious.

Wu Ke said with a smile: "today is Sunday, the bank is not open."

Chuchen reacted and laughed.

After laughing for a while, Wu Ke thought of a question: "by the way, how could the deceitful boss be so stupid that he would take Mo Yu as garbage and give it to Wang Hailei. Didn't he pick up sesame and lose watermelon?"

Chuchen said with a smile, "why else? He doesn't know the real Hetian Moyu. In addition, there are not a few varieties similar to Hetian Moyu on the market. It's normal to admit wrong."

"I don't know how to recognize Wu Hetian," he said

"Before I talk about this, I will first talk about the classification of Hetian Mo jade seed materials, which can be divided into three types: first, JUMO, which is pure black; second, scattered Mo, which is black and white; third, dot Mo, which is sesame dot. The latter two are also commonly known as "blue and white". Blue and white ware is in my collection. You should be familiar with it. "

Chu Chen explained: "as for this kind of ink gathering, it's also simple to identify. Jade should be transparent, but stone is opaque. Some edges of ink jade are transparent, and they are white when illuminated by flashlight. Because many people don't have ink jade in their hands, most new people just stay in the stage of theoretical identification, which leads to the phenomenon that ink jade" knows "but doesn't recognize it."

Looking at Chu Chen's operation and explanation, Wu Ke immediately understood.

"So it is. By the way, now there are three of the five Gang Mao. How can I find the remaining two? "

Chu Chen some helpless said: "look at luck, the world is so big, who knows where such small two things will be."

Wu Ke quickly comforted: "ah Chen, your luck has been good, the remaining two should be found soon."

"I hope so..."

…………

In a twinkling of an eye, it was September 2. People living near chuchen museum were surprised to find that the museum, which was changed from a hotel, was about to officially open today. Some of these people don't understand why the museum opened on Monday. Everyone has to work, and who will visit it?

In fact, Chu Chen put the opening time of the museum on Monday. He had his own idea. In addition to having a better day today, he mainly wanted the staff to get familiar with and run in with their respective businesses during these days, so as not to make mistakes in the rush of tourists.

As for the problem of tourists, Chu Chen is not worried at all. As the old saying goes, wine is not afraid of deep alleys. The museum wants more tourists, mainly because of the high quality of its collection. He doesn't believe it. With the five famous kilns and many comparable collections in his museum, will it not be popular with tourists and antique lovers?

At this time, dozens of flower baskets had been placed in front of the magnificent museum built by Chu chenna. The names on the baskets were private and public, such as those of museums in various provinces, and those of various departments in the capital.

Of course, this is the capital city. It's not surprising that this situation. The key is that dozens of cars parked in the parking lot next to the museum are frightening. Many of them are luxury cars worth millions.

You know, it's still 2002. Even in the capital, it's a matter of great concern for so many owners of luxury cars to join us.

In fact, the owners of these luxury cars are not all known by Chu Chen. Some of them are Chu Junfeng's friends. In addition, Liu Sizhe, Dong pangzi and others have many friends.

"Uncle Fu, uncle Zhao, please sit inside first..."

At this time, Chu Chen and Yu renpeng, both dressed in traditional costumes, are standing at the door, smiling to welcome guests from all directions. Today, many guests come early. Just after eight o'clock, there are already guests coming in succession. Now just after ten o'clock, there are more and more guests coming.

"Ha ha, Xiao Chen, Congratulations! This is a congratulatory gift from Lao Zhao and me... "Zhu Dafu and Zhao Xueyi said a few auspicious words with a smile, and then Zhu Dafu gave Chu Chen two thick red envelopes.

Chu Chen immediately expressed his thanks, and then asked the staff nearby to take them in for a rest.

"Yes

Just as they were about to leave, Chu Chen suddenly thought of something. He quickly went to Zhao Xueyi and asked in a low voice, "Uncle Zhao, has Lin Laosan contacted you?"

"No!" Zhao Xueyi was stunned. Since his friend gave him the furniture, he never heard his friend mention Lin Laosan. If Chu Chen hadn't mentioned it, he would have forgotten it.

"Did he contact you?"

"No Chu Chen shook his head.

After hearing Chu Chen's reply, Zhao Xueyi was a little strange and said, "well, what's the matter? Can't he have forgotten it? "

Chu Chen thought about it and thought that it was really possible. As for the reason, Lin Laosan thought that Zhao Xueyi's friends didn't dare disobey him. He didn't expect that Chu Chen would step in and naturally left it behind.

"Oh, this guy sometimes likes to do something devious. When I'm finished today, I'll deal with it, but you still have to be careful."

Just now, when a friend of Chu Junfeng and several other young people were chatting at the door, he inadvertently talked about Lin Laosan. After listening to him for a while, Chu Chen realized that Lin Laosan sometimes works hard and does something harmful to others but not to himself. If the strength is weaker than him, it is more dangerous to fight against him.

Many people who know Lin Laosan well know his character, but Zhao Yunlin basically stays at home. Her impression of Lin Laosan in her memory is still a few years ago, which leads to a certain deviation.

In addition, Zhao Qirui has been on a business trip for the past month, and Chu Chen is busy with his wedding and Museum affairs. So until now, he has learned the truth.

When Chu Chen heard about this, he regretted it. When he knew this, he called Lin Laosan directly. How could he deal with him by Zhao Xueyi's hand? Now he can only mend it.

"Yes, I see." Zhao Xueyi waved his hand and didn't care much about it. He felt that even if Lin Laosan wanted to deal with him, he would have to deal with it in a day or two. At that time, Chu Chen had already dealt with it. Therefore, he was not worried at all.

In fact, Chu Chen also thought so, but for the sake of Zhao Xueyi's safety, he specially told a few words, and then went back.

Although it's September, today's weather is still very hot. Chu Chen, who has been standing for almost a whole morning, is almost soaked with sweat, and Yu renpeng can't stand it any more. Liu Sizhe is replaced.

After receiving several guests, Chu Chen saw Dean Sima and his assistant come over, and quickly went forward to say hello with a smile: "Dean Sima, welcome to us."

"Curator Chu, we should have more exchanges between the two museums in the future."

President Sima smilingly handed a red envelope to Chu Chen. Although chuchen's private museum is far from the Palace Museum, there are many valuable collections in chuchen's hands, which are worthy of equal exchange.

"Sure, sure! Please go inside and have a rest If you want to run the museum well, you must have to exchange work. In addition, you have to exchange with such units as the Forbidden City. It's strange that Chu Chen didn't agree.

After President Sima and his assistant went in with the staff and saw that there were no guests for the time being, Liu Sizhe asked, "brother Chen, when will the opening ceremony begin today?"

Chu Chen looked at his watch and said, "it's 11:28. It's fast. There's less than half an hour left."

"Oh, that's good." Liu Sizhe was relieved when he heard the speech.

"Why, you've been standing for less than an hour, you can't?" Chuchen asked with a smile.

Liu Sizhe said: "how can a man say no? I just feel a little sticky. "

Speaking of this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said in a loud voice, "my grandfather is coming."

Chu Chen saw that Liu came over accompanied by Liu Qinshu. He asked the staff for an umbrella and ran with Liu Sizhe.

"Master, it's so hot today. Why do you come here..." Chu Chen said while holding an umbrella to cover the sun for Liu Lao.

Liu said with a smile: "I'm not so delicate. It's a little hot. What's the matter? Besides, my apprentice's museum is open. Shouldn't you come and have a look? "

It's said that Mr. Liu has come. The people who were still drinking tea and chatting in the rest room rushed out to welcome Mr. Liu.

Needless to say, Mr. Liu is famous both in the cultural relics collection field and in the officialdom. If he can come, even if chuchen's Museum has no special features, it is estimated that in a short time, it will be a topic of conversation for many people.

"Well, it's almost time. Let's get ready to cut the ribbon..."

After a moment of greetings, Chu Chen saw that it was almost time, and asked the MC to prepare for the ceremony, while the others, led by the staff, gathered at the entrance of the museum.When the music starts, several emcees are holding scissors and ribbons that have been prepared for a long time. Chu Chen, Liu Lao, Zhao Qirui and President Sima all stand in front of the main entrance of the museum. Liu Lao stands in the middle, President Sima and Zhao Qirui stand around Liu Lao, and Chu Chen stands beside Zhao Qirui.

On the other hand, there are TV station staff who Chu Chen invited in advance to take pictures with cameras.

"Hello, leaders and guests! I'm very glad that you can attend the opening ceremony of my Museum in your busy schedule. Next... "

According to the process of the ceremony, Chu Chen simply said a few words and then gave the microphone to Mr. Liu. Due to the hot weather, Mr. Liu just said a few words of congratulations, and the ribbon cutting ceremony officially began.

Music and firecrackers rang out, scissors in the hands of the four fell, and the opening ceremony was completed.

Then Chu Chen picked up a string under the plaque of the museum and gently pulled it. As the red silk on the plaque fell, the five powerful characters "Zenghua Museum" came into our eyes. The five words of Liu's praise for his calligraphy immediately rang out.

The word "Zenghua" comes from the idiom "Zenghua after something", which means to continue the previous career and make it more perfect and beautiful. Later, it means to continue the previous career and develop more.

In addition to its own meaning, the name "Zenghua" is also Chu Chen's hope to contribute to the development of Chinese traditional culture.
