Du Zhonglin was stunned for a long time when he heard this, and then he asked with some difficulty: "was there no special case at that time, there must be no fairy girl?"
Chu Chen replied: "the legend of he Xiangu has existed for a long time, but although the legend of eight immortals prevailed in the Yuan Dynasty, the names of the eight immortals were not fixed. There were not he Xiangu, Cao Guojiu and Zhang Guolao, but Xu Shenweng, Feng sengshou, Zhang Silang and Yuan Huzi. They all have one characteristic, that is, the eight immortals are all men, not women. "
"As for our current ranking of the eight immortals, it was only after Wu Yuantai's biography of the origin of the eight immortals to the East in the Ming Dynasty that it was finally determined."
"How could that be?" Du Zhonglin couldn't accept the result at all. He suddenly stood up from his chair and paced back and forth beside him. His face was worried and helpless, which made Chu Chen worried.
In order to avoid any accident, Chu Chen quickly stepped forward and comforted: "old man, you should calm down first, don't affect your body, it's not worth the loss."
"This However, this is my pension. How can I calm down? "
Du Zhonglin seemed very desperate. Then, he took up the plum vase and explained, "Mr. Chu, this brown spot decoration first appeared on the Yue Kiln in the late Western Jin Dynasty. Longquan kiln in Yuan Dynasty inherited and developed this technique, which brought a variety of features to celadon, a kind of monochrome glazed porcelain. Isn't this plum vase the best example
"What's more, look at the red flint in the exposed part, how bright and eye-catching the color is against the background of the surrounding blue glaze! How could it be made of a fake? "
Hearing this, Chu Chen sighed in his heart. How could he meet two people who bought an antique with all his wealth in just two days? Is it so difficult to think about what would happen if you hit the eye before you buy it?
However, on second thought, he was the same last year. He spent all his savings to buy the Tang Sancai. In the end, all his hard work in the past few years was wasted. Fortunately, he was still young, and he got the power in a blessing in disguise. Otherwise, the situation would not be better than that of Du Zhonglin, who has retired now.
"Mr. Du, I know what you said, and to tell you the truth, this plum vase is really the same as the real one, but just like Guan Gong can't fight Qin Qiong, the eight immortals determined in Ming Dynasty can't appear in the works of Yuan Dynasty. I hope you can understand."
"Moreover, I recall that this plum vase actually has a prototype, which was first collected by a British collector and appeared in front of the world on July 10, 1951 as the cover of Sotheby's special album, numbered 33 at that time. On April 14, 1980, it was auctioned by Christie's in England, and was obtained by famous collectors in lion city. "
"On November 5, 1996, it was auctioned by Heung Su Fu Bi company, No. 621. In the meantime, it was published twice.... "
Hearing this, Du Zhonglin had no illusions. He sat down on the ground and said with tears:
"why! I was so careless. Why didn't I take it seriously when I bought it! Why
Because he was too excited, the plum vase in Du Zhonglin's hand was crumbling. Seeing this, Chu Chen rushed forward and took the thing to his hand. Looking at Du Zhonglin's grief, he was filled with emotion. What he wanted to say was that it had nothing to do with whether he was serious or not. The most important thing was that Du Zhonglin didn't know much about it, or he didn't prepare enough.
Judging from Du Zhonglin's performance, such a thing with a market value of several hundred thousand will not be bought after seeing it. However, he will prepare for it and read the relevant information before making a decision. In this process, he can look through the materials of the eight immortals, then there will be no today's events.
Some people may say that it's not the eight immortals that everyone is familiar with. It's reasonable not to search for information.
This may be feasible for other things, but it can't be the case for antiques collection. The reason is very simple. Even the Song Dynasty version of "meditation on a quiet night" is "looking at the moonlight in front of the bed, doubting it's frost on the ground.". Look up at the mountains and the moon, look down and think of home. "
How can you be sure that the eight immortals of the Yuan Dynasty and the eight immortals of the present are the same person?
Therefore, when buying an antique, all the details must be taken into account, and it is often hard to get by with one's own purse.
"No, I have to get him to pay for it!" Du Zhonglin stood up and said angrily: "I believe him so much, but they all cheat me with fake goods. It's really not a thing!"
Seeing this, Chu Chen advised him to calm down and said, "Mr. Du, since he even sold you three fakes, he deliberately wanted to cheat you. It's hard for you to get the money back."
Chu Chen's words reminded Du Zhonglin, and he clapped his hands: "yes! Mr. Chu, you're right. I'll call the police and sue him for fraud! "
Chu Chen said: "Mr. Du, to be honest, it's OK to sue him for fraud, but you must have corresponding evidence, for example, have you signed an agreement?"
Du Zhonglin nodded and said, "if I sign it, I'll put it in the box. Look..."With that, he took out an agreement from the bottom of the box with the plum bottle.
Chu Chen took it and saw that the agreement was very standard. However, when he saw the goods, he couldn't help shaking his head: "Mr. Du, what's written on it is a plum vase with eight immortals in Longquan kiln. It doesn't indicate the dynasty of the object. In this case, it's hard for you to win the lawsuit."
"Ah! Didn't you write it? " Du Zhonglin was shocked by this and asked Chu Chen for an agreement. After a careful look, he found that there was no Dynasty written on it.
"Why didn't you write it?" Du Zhonglin patted himself on the head and regretted his carelessness: "but when he sold me, he told me that it was from the Yuan Dynasty. Even if he didn't write it, could he go back?"
Chu Chen shook his head and said, "if he insists that he didn't say it at that time, then you can't help him. Such a case happened not long ago."
Some time ago, an old customer of chuchen antique shop suffered such a loss. A few months ago, he bought two things from a friend. One is a bracelet made of Hetian jade in the Qing Dynasty, and the other is an inkstone in the Song Dynasty. It cost more than 100000 yuan.
After he bought it back, he took it to Chu Chen for identification. The results showed that it was all modern imitations. The bracelet was made of Russian material, and the inkstone was also a very common thing that had been made in modern times. Hearing the result, he was very angry, so he took things back, but his former friend refused.
Because he signed an agreement when he bought it, he took the seller to court in a fit of anger. However, the agreement also had the fault of Du Zhonglin's agreement. He didn't write about the dynasty. In the end, he decided that Fang inkstone couldn't be returned, only the pair of bracelets. The reason why the bracelet can be returned is that the agreement says Hetian jade, but it is actually Russian material.
Some friends may ask, since these two things are modern imitations, then according to the market value, it is not worth a few money, and the final judgment still let the buyer buy the inkstone, not to help up the unhealthy trend, not only violated the principle of fairness in the contract law, but also violated the principle of honesty and trustworthiness in business?
If it's something else, it's really like a kind of reconciliation. However, antique trading is a special commodity trading, which is characterized by strong professionalism, various trading means, lack of substitutability and comparability, and difficulty in determining a unified value standard. Therefore, this judgment not only conforms to the rationality of the trade rules, but also reflects the fairness of the agreement Fair and just.
Because the sale of antiques reflects the ancient principle of the contract law that the buyer should be cautious. The so-called "buyer's discretion" principle means that in the process of signing a contract, one party should rely on its own knowledge to make judgment, and the other party has no obligation to inform the information about the contract or the subject matter. After the contract is concluded, the other party will not be responsible for the defects of the subject matter, and the only restriction is not to use fraud and misrepresentation.
The theoretical basis of this principle is that everyone is the best defender of his own rights and interests, and should take good care of his own interests in the process of transaction. In the process of concluding a contract, the parties should make reasonable efforts to understand the situation related to the contract based on their own interests, and there is no reason to rely on the other party.
Therefore, to buy valuable antiques, we must carefully sign an agreement. If we buy jewelry, we must have the identification certificate issued by the national authority, because now some experts and institutions can buy the certificates as long as they spend money. We should also be very careful.
After listening to this example, Du Zhonglin shook his head and said, "the example you mentioned is quite different from the one I meet now. Since he bought the ticket with me when he bought it, now it's impossible for him to go back!"
Chu Chen said: "you are right. If it is true, the contract will be invalid. But the key is, who was there besides you? If you are the only one present, he denies, and you can't find a witness. "
Du Zhonglin said: "no, there were only me and him at that time, but he was a liar. The police should have the obligation to help me investigate!"
"You can try this. It's better to report to the police and prepare for litigation at the same time." Chu Chen gave a suggestion, but as he said, if the other party strongly denies that, in the absence of other people, the hope of returning the goods is slim.
"OK, Miss Chu, thank you very much..."
Just as Du Zhonglin was packing up, Chu Chen suddenly thought that the high level of imitation of ancient ceramics would have something to do with CAI Jianxuan? Unfortunately, only blue and white porcelain and official porcelain of Ming and Qing Dynasties could he see Cai Jianxuan's style. He was also blind when he replaced it with Longquan ware of Yuan Dynasty.
So, he quickly asked: "by the way, Mr. Du, can I ask you about the seller's information?"
Du Zhonglin was stunned. He didn't know how Chu Chen wanted to ask this question, but he immediately reacted and said excitedly: "yes, this kind of person should be exposed. His name is..."
Seeing that Du Zhonglin misunderstood his own meaning, Chu Chen didn't give any explanation. However, when he heard Du Zhonglin describe the man's appearance, he was surprised. Unexpectedly, this man was the strange man he met in Hanyu song's shop in xiazhou and cheated Zhao Xueyi in Jiangcheng. I can't imagine how long it took for him to come to the capital.Thinking that this man might have a lot to do with CAI Jianxuan, Chu Chen was a little excited. Then he asked, "Mr. Du, how long have you known him?"
Du Zhonglin replied: "it's not a short time. It's almost two or three years. Otherwise, I would not buy such valuable things from him. I didn't expect Hey
"Two or three years? Has he always lived in the capital? " Chu Chen was very surprised when he heard that he was mistaken?
"What's the matter? His family is in the capital. Where do you live in the capital? "
Du Zhonglin felt a little strange about Chu Chen's reaction. However, he immediately thought of a detail and said: "Oh, by the way, he's a bit strange. He usually doesn't know what kind of business he does, but he always runs around the country for two or three months a year. Every time he asks him, he just smiles. Now think about it. Will he just deal with these fakes
Chen Ran thought it was strange to hear that there was a fake rabbit in Beijing? Then why did he suddenly look at Du Zhonglin again?
Thinking of this question, Chu Chen asked, "Mr. Du, since you have known him for such a long time, how can you not buy more things from him?"
"Hey Du Zhonglin sighed: "I asked him to buy it before. He said that his collection was not for sale, and he didn't even change it. Only recently did he say that because of some business problems, he was in urgent need of money. He asked me if I was interested and I bought it. Unexpectedly, he was such a person! "
At the end of the day, Du Zhonglin was very angry and gnashed his teeth at the man.
After listening to what Du Zhonglin said, Chu Chen wondered whether it was because their investigation into CAI Jianxuan's gang was too tight that they could not trust to ship, so they focused on the rabbit's nest?
At this time, Du Zhonglin packed up his things and told Chu Chen to leave. However, when he got to the door, he suddenly thought of something and said with a depressed face: "that guy has gone on a business trip again. Now he can't catch his man even if he reports to the police!"
Hearing this, Chu Chen quickly said, "Mr. Du, in this case, I think you'd better wait until he comes back to report the case. Otherwise, if he is guilty of theft, he may run away when he hears about it."
During this period of time, Liu Laoke has invested a lot of energy in investigating Cai Jianxuan's gang. In case Du Zhonglin calls the police and the other party misunderstands, he may run away.
"Yes, yes! Don't let this grandson run away! " Du Zhonglin nodded, really want to let the other party run away, he may lose all his money, this is not what he wants to see
After that, Du Zhonglin left with a lot of worries, and Chu Chen told Liu the news.
Thinking that he has collected more and more clues, Chu Chen feels that it may not be long before Cai Jianxuan is arrested
