    Along the way, Chu Chen kept greeting people he knew warmly. When he arrived at his stall, he discovered that the owner of his stall a few days ago was also an old friend, Zhou Wenping.  Zhou Wenping is thirty-four years old this year. He is from Xijing in the Sanqin Dynasty. He came to the antique street a year later than Chu Chen. He was originally engaged in antique business in Xijing, but his wife was seriously ill. After many twists and turns, he found her in the capital.  A hospital that could hopefully cure her.  So Zhou Wenping got rid of everything in his hometown, brought his wife and a pair of children to the capital to seek medical treatment. He had to live here, so he started his old business.  Because Chu Chen sympathized with his plight, he helped him do what he could from time to time. Over time, the two became friends.  At this time, in Zhou Wenping's stall, there was an old man holding a blue and white landscape plate, observing it carefully. Finally, he took out a magnifying glass and observed it again, looking like an old scholar.  Chu Chen was also a little curious when he saw the old man's appearance. Could it be that the landscape plate was a fine product? When he took a closer look, he immediately knew the quality of the landscape plate.  The old man put down the landscape plate and asked: "Boss, what's the price of this thing?" "You seem to be knowledgeable. This is a good thing." Zhou Wenping first complimented the other party, and then thought about it thoughtfully.  Yes, and then he said: "Seeing that you really like it, I will give you a real price of five thousand yuan." The old man thought for a while, then picked up the plate and looked at it, and then said: "Five thousand is too expensive, six  "A hundred yuan, how about it?" "Okay, you better leave the six hundred yuan there, I can't even get in." Zhou Wenping looked speechless.  After hearing the words, the old man didn't say anything. He just frowned and stroked the landscape plate carefully again, and then said: "One thousand, boss, you can see if it's okay. If not, I'll leave." Zhou Wenping looked at it.  Looking at the plate, he looked at the old man again and said: "Uncle, I think you really like this thing, but you think this thousand is a little too little. The price I paid for the goods is still a bit short, and besides, I haven't got it yet."  Including the stall fee and my hard work, you must let me earn some. If you really want it, you can take the two thousand and two. " The old man was silent again at this time, and kept playing with it.  A landscape plate with a somewhat hesitant look.  When Zhou Wenping saw something interesting, he said again: "Don't worry, this thing is definitely old. Look at the paste and the painting work. This is not a fine product. What is a fine product? You will definitely not take it home."  "Suffering a loss." When the old man heard this, he seemed a little tempted, but maybe the two thousand and two were a little more than he expected, so he kept frowning, but he told him to give up, and he was extremely reluctant to give up, so he gritted his teeth and seemed to make a decision.  The decision was general, and he said to Zhou Wenping: "Boss, I paid one thousand six hundred, but I can't add more. You see, the color of this blue and white is a bit wrong." Zhou Wenping smiled nonchalantly and said: "Uncle, it's not right.  , this is originally a piece of work from a private kiln. Do you still think that the official kiln can get it for this little money? I¡¯ll give in, how about a thousand and eighty yuan?  There is no one here who can get more than two thousand dollars." The old man thought for a while, looked at the landscape plate in his hand with some admiration, and finally made a decision, so he took out a wad of money from his pocket and counted it again.  Count, then reluctantly handed it to Zhou Wenping and said: "Okay, boss, you have to help me wrap it up!" "Okay, I will get you a gift box, I guarantee it is strong and beautiful." After that, Zhou Wenping  He took the young man's money, counted it carefully, and quickly put it into his pocket. Then he took out a gift box from the box on the side, wrapped the blue and white landscape plate, and handed it to the old man. The business was completed.  .  After the old man hugged the gift box and left happily, Chu Chen greeted Zhou Wenping with a smile and said, "Okay, Brother Zhou, the business is good." With this business, Zhou Wenping was in a good mood. From the side  He took out a small horse tie, asked Chu Chen to sit on it, and said: "Hey, we just opened today, how can the business be good?" "Our business will not be open for half a year, and it will be open for half a year. Your landscape plate is not good.  Is this the number?" Chu Chen smiled and gestured with two fingers.  A hawker next to him, whom everyone called Lao Wu, also smiled and interrupted: "Brother Zhou, you will do a lot of harm to that old comrade with this knife." "Hey, I said brother.  A few, he wanted to buy the landscape plate himself, and I didn¡¯t force him to buy it. Besides, he might be happy now, thinking that he had picked up a big deal. Besides, my landscape plate is still an antique.  , as the saying goes, don¡¯t be afraid of buying something expensive, but be afraid of buying the wrong thing. It will be worth it after a while. ¡± ?Come on.  Chu Chen said with a smile: "It's unlikely that my old comrade will be able to raise the price he paid after a hundred years."  "The blue and white landscape plate that the old man bought just now happened to be the product Zhou Wenping bought a few days ago when Chu Chen was setting up the stall, so he knew that it was a folk kiln work from the late Qing Dynasty, and the workmanship and glazes were all  It's very common, worth three to five hundred at most. Even after ten years, it's no longer worth a thousand. The old man must have studied antiques for a while, but his skills were not very good, as people often say.  Two knives. In the antique shop, the two knives that get the most attention are actually not easy for newcomers to get rid of because they don¡¯t understand. Many people who have learned a little bit of antique knowledge are more cautious when buying.  He likes to compare the colorful pictures in books, and the results are often specious and in vain. Like the old man just now, Chu Chen probably guessed that he was from the wrong generation, or simply regarded it as an official kiln with no money, so he finally did it.  The old man happily bought it, feeling quite pleased with himself. At least he bought it right. Some people simply bought modern hysterics made by chemical means. They were quite pleased with themselves after buying it home, and then asked an expert to take a look.  That's terrible. The key is that he is wrong. He doesn't want to believe it. He is only immersed in his own world. No matter how many times he is beaten, the old man made a mistake just now, that is, he doesn't know how to chop.  Price. When Chu Chen first saw him, he thought he was a knowledge worker who usually didn't care about food, clothing, housing and transportation, and didn't know much about the rules in the market, so he spent thousands of dollars more.  It's a waste of money. As the saying goes, what you buy is not as good as what you sell. Like the things sold at ordinary vendors, some items are often quoted at about ten times the price of the goods, or even more, so you should be bold in paying back the price.  Youdao is always asking for price, and you will pay back the money on the ground. As long as the seller makes some money, he will always take action. Of course, the degree depends on you. But Chu Chen and the others like people like the old man the most.  Those who don¡¯t have money and like to make big money, or those who are thin-skinned and can¡¯t show kindness, these two types of people are the easiest to make money from. The most annoying thing is like Aunt Zhang, who can¡¯t wait to break a penny into two pieces.  They are very good at spending money. They will often pester you for two or three hours for dozens or even a few dollars, as if you have made a big mistake if you don't give them a discount. And they may be very price-sensitive by nature.  , the money you paid was just within your psychological range, and you couldn't rush it, so in the end you could only agree to the price he said. Zhou Wenping said in a dumbfounded voice: "I just made a thousand dollars, just because you said it."  It seems like I've made a huge mistake. Okay, can I treat you to a food stall for a drink tonight?  " As soon as he heard that there was wine, Lao Wu's eyes gleamed and his mouth watered. He was good at everything and had no other bad habits except for being greedy for drinks. As long as his wife didn't care about him, he would definitely be drinking from Hu Tianhaidi.  , once even gave away a Qing Dynasty official kiln pastel bowl worth tens of thousands, and then they finally calmed down a little. When Chu Chen and the others saw Lao Wu¡¯s appearance, they knew that his wine bug was coming, and they couldn¡¯t help but.  "By the way, Xiaochen, everyone heard that you missed Xiang Nayun's Tang Sancai last time. Xiang Lao came to see you yesterday about this matter and said he was sorry, but today he will go to Xingxing.  Tiao Guo has left a phone number for you, telling you to call him as soon as possible. I guess he wants to give you some compensation.  " After Zhou Wenping finished speaking, he handed a note with Xiang Lao's phone number to Chu Chen. After taking the note, Chu Chen was a little touched by Xiang Lao's behavior, but although he would call Xiang Lao, he still couldn't.  He would not accept the compensation. When he bought Tang Sancai, it was completely a matter of mutual consent, so he said: "Xiang Lao's moral character is really admirable, but this matter has nothing to do with him. It was entirely my fault at the beginning."  After being stalked, Mr. Xiang had no choice but to give Tang San Caiyun to me.  Besides, our business relies on knowledge and eyesight. If money and goods are clear, then it would be a violation of the rules to settle the accounts.  Zhou Wenping nodded and said, "I know Mr. Xiang's temper. He did this just to put his mind at ease."  By the way, Xiaochen, you lost so much money this time, do you want me to lend you some?  " "Hey, that's no need. Not only did I make up for all my losses yesterday, but I also made a few (ten thousand) long positions.  "Chu Chen whispered in a low voice. "Oh, okay, Xiao Chen, you have picked up the big leak, no, it's my turn to invite you tonight, it should be you.  " Zhou Wenping said with a surprised and envious smile, and Lao Wu on the side also nodded in envy. "Okay, it doesn't matter. I'll treat you today. Let's not eat any big steaks. The restaurant I went to yesterday  The private teahouse is very good. After a whileMy sister-in-law and my children are here together. Fifth brother, please call your wife over too, so we can celebrate together.  "Chu Chen waved his hand cheerfully and said.
