Chapter 1094

If you look at Chen Yingping's home, you will find the same kind of mahogany furniture which is unconventional and antique. These furniture use a variety of carving techniques. Regardless of the theme and accessories, the carving is exquisite, which shows the craftsman's exquisite skills.

In addition, the furniture collocation is very reasonable, so that people who come here from the prosperous metropolis have a feeling like entering the quiet Peach Blossom Land. Even when Chu Chen saw it, he had the feeling that "strange people and experts are among the people".

Not to mention other things, just mahogany furniture like this, not only need to have money, no contacts, it is difficult to make up such a complete set of Chen Yingping's family. In addition, Chen Yingping's previous performance implies that he is a senior antique player, and his level may not be lower than those of those experts.

On the surface, Chu Chen is insincere, but in his heart, he scoffs at Chen Yingping's actions. Since Chen Yingping wants to transfer his things because of something urgent, why does he come here to talk calmly and want to portray himself as a senior player in front of him?

"It's just to prepare for his later actions. Does he really think I'm a fool?"

Chu Chen sneered to himself. If it was someone else, he might have been fooled by Chen Yingping's words and deeds. But now, in his eyes, all this is just icing on the cake. However, he has plenty of time anyway. Since Chen Yingping doesn't feel anxious, he won't say what he wants to do to see who can't survive first.

Seeing the presence of Chu Chen, Chen Yingping was not in a hurry to say what he wanted. Chen Yingping could not help but said on his own initiative: "I'm ready, curator of Chu, but it's inconvenient to take it out. Please move to the inner room."

"Mr. Chen, you are welcome..."

Chuchen smiles, gets up and follows Chen Yingping to the inner room. As he walks, Chen Yingping sincerely tells chuchen the origin of the five things and the secret of "crying" sale.

"Ah! To tell you the truth, curator Chu, the five items in the photo belonged to a nephew of my family. Because the old man was ill and had no money for medical treatment, they had to be sent to me for consignment. "

Chu Chen nodded. He didn't say anything more. If he didn't say it was false, even if it was true, it was inconvenient for him to express his opinion.

After that, Chen and Hu put a picture of Chu in the room. Among these five things, the most striking one is the carriage with blue and white jade.

Jade chariots and horses, also known as jade chariots, are composed of horses, shafts, car bodies, carriages, axles, wheels, controllers and riders of emperors and nobles. Each part is independent and combined to form a complete set of chariots and horses. The wheels can rotate the same, which shows the delicacy of the implements.

What's more, the jade of the carriage is from the same piece of jade. You know, the length of the carriage is nearly 70cm. Even if some of the cut materials on the jade can be reused, a considerable part of the materials may have been discarded, which shows the degree of luxury.

Moreover, Chu Chen finally identified that the carriage was indeed a genuine one in the early Western Han Dynasty, and its value was needless to say.

Seeing that Chu Chen had identified the blue and white jade carriage, Chen Yingping quickly asked, "how about this jade, curator of Chu?"

Chuchen nodded with a smile: "not bad."

Chen Yingping felt relieved and said with a smile, "that's good. I'm not very proficient in jade. Originally, I was worried that there was something wrong with it. I'm relieved to hear that from curator Chu."

Chuchen laughed and then asked, "Mr. Chen, take the liberty to ask a question."

Chen Yingping nodded and said, "please say, but if you want to ask where this thing came from, I'm really not sure."

"I don't care about it."

Chu Chen shook his head, then said: "I'm just curious. Since your nephew can afford such a treasure, and these four things, at least for now, are treasures. In this case, why can't he even pay for his illness?"

"Ah! It's all his own obsession. "

Chen Yingping shook his head and sighed: "originally, he also opened a factory with good benefits. We are also well-known capable people. However, since he became addicted to antiques, it's out of control. The factory has no mind to manage it. His mind is on antiques all day long. A few years later, the factory closed down, and his family's money was changed into antiques. "

"He didn't listen to what his family said about him until the old man got sick and couldn't afford any money. He repented and said he would give up antiques and live honestly in the future."

Speaking of this, he sighed again: "ah, why do people have to suffer losses to learn a lesson?"

At this time, Chen Yingping's emotion seems to be full of true feelings, which makes Chu Chen doubt whether he is facing a situation. If it is really a game, Chen Yingping's acting skill is too high, which is completely comparable to the world's best movie stars.

But Chen Yingping's next words made Chu Chen confused again. Is this really a situation? But if it's the Bureau, it's a little too stiff, isn't it?"Yes

It seems that Chen Yingping suddenly remembered something and said to Chu Chen with some embarrassment: "curator Chu, there is something I want to tell you in advance. My nephew said that these five things must be packed and sold together."

"For sale together?"

Chu Chen Leng Leng, some surprised said: "Mr. Chen, to be bold, let's not talk about the price first, what if there are fakes in the remaining four things?"

"Who said it wasn't?" Chen Yingping said helplessly: "I told him so, but he was sure that all his things were genuine. I don't know how to say about him."

Chuchen said with a smile: "let's talk with the facts..."

Among the remaining four things, the one that first came into Chu Chen's eyes was the bronze ware, a bronze pin.

It is a kind of wine vessel. It is more common in the late Shang Dynasty to the middle of the spring and Autumn period. Among them, "the book of songs. Zhounan. Rolling ears" Chants: "my aunt drinks the golden thread, and will not cherish forever." The gold thread, or bronze thread, is mostly made by losing wax.

Both square and round shapes were found in the shape of the instrument. The square shape was mostly seen in the late Shang Dynasty, while the round shape was extended from Shang Dynasty to the early Zhou Dynasty. It is said that there are only a few of them.

The bronze pin in front of Chu Chen is a square pin of the Shang Dynasty. The cross section of the pin is square, with a straight neck, curved shoulders, bulging abdomen and square ring feet. The largest part of the body is the joint of the shoulder and abdomen, and the bottom of the abdominal wall is inclined downward from then on.

Both sides of the shoulder are decorated with animal head ears, standing in the air abruptly; both sides of the back are decorated with high relief animal heads above, and one animal head is placed below the abdomen, respiring from the top and the bottom, with a solemn posture. Four ridges fall from the shoulders, giving people a sense of standing on the wall.

The decorative patterns of the whole ware are various, deep and low, ups and downs, and all kinds of relief are set in a wall. Among them, there are thunder pattern, vortex pattern, deformed long triangle pattern and high relief beast in the center of shoulder. The production process is quite exquisite, which can be called a treasure.

What's more valuable is that Chu Chen found an inscription on the inner edge of the mouth. He carefully identified it and determined that it should be the family emblem.

The clan emblem, also known as "clan inscriptions", is a pattern indicating the name of the clan. Guo Moruo called it "the clan emblem of the carving system". The inscriptions began with the single character family emblem. Before the middle of the Shang Dynasty, there were few inscriptions on bronzes, but the single character or family emblem inscriptions began to appear in the middle of the Shang Dynasty. Later, it was simplified and refined into characters, and the number of characters gradually increased. By the Western Zhou Dynasty, there were dozens to hundreds of characters. In the middle of the Western Zhou Dynasty, there were even two or three hundred characters of long inscriptions.

Chu Chen has never seen the inscriptions represented by this family emblem in various precious books. In other words, it is probably a family emblem that has not been found before. It has very high research value and also increases the value of the whole ware.

Chu Chen estimated that the value of such a precious and rare bronze pin would not be much lower than that of the green and white jade carriage nearby. The combined value of the two items is nearly seven or eight million.

If the remaining lotus shaped vase from Ding kiln, plum vase with sauce glaze from Yaozhou Kiln and spring vase with jade pot from Longquan kiln are genuine, no matter how low the value is, they can't be less than 3 million. The value of five utensils added up to more than 10 million, which is very easy.

But in fact, among the three porcelains, only the one with sauce glaze from Yaozhou Kiln was genuine, and the other two were fakes. To Chu Chen's surprise, although these two things were made enough to confuse the real with the fake, the producer should not be Cai Jianxuan.

Because Chu Chen didn't find any trace left by Cai Jianxuan from above, what's more, these two things can't reach Cai Jianxuan's production level.

"What the hell are they going to do?"

Chu Chen is very confused about this. Is it because these people want to tell themselves that they have nothing to do with CAI Jianxuan? But if it's really just to tell yourself such a news, it doesn't have to be so troublesome, does it?

Thinking about it, Chu Chen didn't come up with a reason: "forget it, let's fight first, let's cover the water and the earth."

"Curator Chu, what do you think of these things?" Chen Yingping asked.

"Well..."

Chu Chen was just about to point out the two pieces of problematic porcelain when he had an idea and said with a smile, "it's OK. I don't know about the price?"

Chen Yingping seemed to take advantage of the bottom to relax his heart and said with a smile: "director Chu, you must know the value of these things. Now that you are an expert and my nephew is in a hurry to spend money, I don't want anything more. Let's just 12 million. What do you think? "

If they are all genuine porcelains, 12 million is indeed a relatively generous price. However, of the three porcelains, the two with the highest value are fakes. It is needless to know that Chu Chen would not agree.

However, Chu Chen didn't immediately refuse. He wanted to see what script was next. So he said with a smile, "Mr. Chen, your price is different from what I heard earlier. My friend brought me a message, but it only costs a few million."

"Millions?" Chen Yingping was stunned, then shook his head and said, "he should have heard wrong. Millions of dollars are certainly possible."

"That's a few million. After all, 9.99 million is also a few million." Chuchen said with a smile.Chen Yingping pondered for a moment, solemnly said: "if you agree with the Chu curator, I can promise nine million nine hundred and ninety thousand!"

Chu Chen thought about it for a while. After removing the two fakes, the market value of the remaining three items should be around 8.5 million yuan. However, jade and bronze ware are both valuable treasures. It's easy to get a high price in the auction market. If you buy them at a price of 9.99 million yuan, you may not only have no loss, but also make a profit in the auction.

But then again, it is impossible for Chu Chen to transfer such a thing to others. If he buys it at the current price, he will lose money for the time being. What's more, he wants to see what tricks Chen Yingping wants to play. Therefore, he intends to have a look.

"Mr. Chen, to tell you the truth, I'm not very satisfied with some of these things. I don't quite accept the price of 9.99 million."

Chen Yingping was shocked: "ah! You mean there's something wrong with the rest? "

Chu Chen shook his head: "it's hard to say, and I'm not sure. In fact, if you agree to sell separately, I won't have any worries. "

Chen Yingping was a little embarrassed and said, "curator Chu, if it's mine, I'll promise you. But now I don't have much autonomy. Why don't I call and ask?"

"Yes..."

When Chen Yingping walked out of the room, Hu Yong asked in a low voice, "brother Chu, are these things true or false?"

Chu Chen replied: "there are true and false."

"Oh." Hu Yong nodded: "you told me before that this man has a problem, but I think he's normal. If he's acting, he's too good to be an actor. Maybe he can win a movie king or something."

Chuchen said with a smile: "what you said is reasonable. However, there are many talents in our antique industry. Otherwise, there would not be so many people cheated."

Hu Yong said with a smile: "in this case, those directors can go to antique markets all over the country to recruit actors. With the level of these people, I don't believe the TV series will be popular."

Chuchen laughed when he heard the speech. Just as he was about to open his mouth, he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps coming from outside. He quickly waved his hand to stop talking.

Then, Chen Yingping came in and said with some embarrassment, "curator Chu, I'm really sorry. My nephew doesn't agree to separate, and it's hard for him to believe that there's a problem."

"So..." Chuchen said: "I look up for a while, it's hard for me to think about the price."

"Er..." Chen Yingping thought about it and said, "if not, I'll be the Lord again, and it'll be 9.5 million. No matter how little it is, I can't explain it."

After hearing the words, Chu Chen looked at several things again, and finally his expression showed that he was "at a loss" about the authenticity of the treasure.

Chen Yingping saw Chu Chen's doubts, and immediately showed great hospitality. He said thoughtfully: "curator Chu, you Dao is a friend who comes from a long distance. We can't do business. Since you can't decide for a while, let's have dinner first."

Chu Chen saw that it was really late, and he had not achieved his goal, so he agreed with a smile.

Later, Chen Yingping took them to a small restaurant a few miles away. Not to mention, although the restaurant is small and full of five dirty dishes, the taste of the dishes is quite good, which is no worse than some famous hotels.

However, during the meal, Chu Chen had a doubt. Was Chen Yingping alone at home? Isn't that big house cold? Even if you are used to such a life, cleaning is not easy! But Chen Yingping's house is very clean. Does someone clean it regularly?

You know, it's still the countryside in 2002. Isn't that strange?

As a result, after three rounds of drinking, Chu Chen pretended to throw out the problem by accident. Chen Yingping, who had drunk the wine, was not as sharp as he had just been. At the beginning, he was a little unprepared and stunned for a while. Then he said that he had lived here since he lost his spouse in his early years and had been used to it. In order to honor him, his children spent a lot of money on decorating him, and he went to work every other period of time Send someone to clean up.

Although Chen Yingping reacted quickly, a trace of confusion and confusion in his eyes before was seen in Chu Chen's eyes, which made him sneer and say: "see what else you are going to play!"

After dinner, Chen Yingping answered another phone call. When he got back, he happily told chuchen that his nephew was coming from Shimen now and was ready to talk to chuchen in person. He hoped that chuchen would not go back immediately.

Of course, Chu Chen promised to come down, not to mention that he didn't know what play he was playing today. He said that he would not give up on jade and bronze. From this point of view, he actually achieved their goals.

Chen Yingping told Chu Chen that his nephew would not be back for more than two hours, so he wanted to invite Chu Chen to visit the local places of interest.

Anyway, it's OK to be idle, so Chu Chen agreed. Next, Chen Yingping took them to visit several nearby scenic spots, and it was almost 4 p.m. in the blink of an eye. However, Chen Yingping's nephew didn't even have a phone call, let alone a shadow. This made Chu Chen feel very strange.Just as Chu Chen was about to ask questions, Chen Yingping's mobile phone rang. After receiving the call, he was embarrassed to tell Chu Chen that his nephew's elder was suddenly critically ill. His nephew went back on the way and said that today's nephew might not be here. He apologized to Chu Chen.

Chen Yingping apologized and said, "director Chu, I'm really sorry for the delay. I mean, if you're not busy, stay with me. You'll talk about it when he comes tomorrow. "

"If I have something to return to Beijing, can you bring it to the capital?" Chu Chen asked.

Chen Yingping hesitated: "this It's a bit difficult. In fact, I told my nephew that it would be convenient for buyers to take things to the capital for sale. But he just refused. He said that if the bronze ware was taken to the capital, it would cause unnecessary trouble. In addition, he was worried about the bumps on the Road and what would happen. "

"After all, he has only these curios. If there is a little mistake, it's hard for him to bear. I hope you can understand!"

In addition to saying that he would not mind, what can Chu Chen say? You can't force the other party to take things to the capital, can you?

Of course, the most important thing now is that he wants to find out what the other party means. Otherwise, it's no problem for him to spend money to buy things directly. But now, it seems that Chen Yingping's action is to keep him. Is it to prepare for something in the evening?

You know, he is now almost promoted to father, even for the sake of his family, he also wants to put himself at risk. But let him go back like this, in the heart still some unwilling.

After thinking about it, Chu Chen said, "Mr. Chen, I live in Baozhou today, but I still have some things to deal with online, so I won't live with you."

Chen Yingping, of course, would not force him to do so. He said with a smile that he had no problem and asked Chu Chen for his mobile phone number, saying that he would contact him if he had any information

Nothing happened overnight. The next morning, Chu Chen and Hu Yong got a call from Chen Yingping after breakfast in the hotel. He was very sorry to tell Chu Chen that because the old man had never been out of danger, his nephew might not be able to make the appointment on time today. He said that if Chu Chen wanted to, he could guide him and then visit the local places of interest.

Hearing this news, Chu Chen can't help frowning. It's definitely not a thing to go on like this. It can't be said that if Chen Yingping's nephew doesn't come one day, he won't go back one day. In the end, besides spending more money to buy those curios, he still hasn't figured out what the other party's idea is. Isn't it a Playman?

Maybe he felt sorry for Chu Chen. Chen Yingping told Chu Chen on the phone that if his nephew doesn't arrive tomorrow, Chu Chen can buy it separately and give him a 10% discount.

Hearing this proposal, Chu Chen agreed on the surface, but sneered in his heart. He wanted to see what the other party had promised so many benefits for? Of course, for his own safety, he also called to deploy troops to ensure his own safety.

In addition, Chu Chen did not allow Chen Yingping to take them to visit local places of interest. Instead, he arranged his own itinerary. As for the destination, it was the local antique market.

Because today is Sunday, plus some late, when Chu Chen and Hu Yong arrived at the antique market, it was already crowded and prosperous.

Chuchen went to a well-known antique market in Baozhou. At this time, it was full of "treasure gas". There were a lot of rare antique objects on the stalls. There are not only ceramic utensils with different shapes, but also metal casting cauldrons with a long history; there are inscribed or vague or distinct carvings and seal seals; there are also famous paintings with different styles; there are ancient agricultural implements with huge shapes, and there are exquisite accessories and pendants
