    "How about it? Do you want this seal? Let me tell you, this thing is really passed down from my ancestors. If I don't want my granddaughter to go to college more comfortably, I really don't want to sell it. My father originally  When you passed it on to me, you told me that this thing is very precious, so don¡¯t fool me!¡± the old man said with certainty in the end.  "Yes!" Chu Chen replied affirmatively: "Old sir, if you give me a real price, it will save you the hassle of going back and forth. After all, it's a hot day." "I don't know much about antiques, but after all, this is my home.  It¡¯s something handed down from our ancestors. My dad was once a scholar, and he said it¡¯s a good thing. Sir, how about you give me 12,000 yuan? What do you think?¡± But after the price was offered, the old man asked again.  After taking a look at the seal, he probably felt that the seal did not sell well. Seeing Chu Chen's pensive look, he quickly changed his words and said, "How about ten thousand yuan? I won't sell it for less." Chu Chen  When Chen heard the price, he was secretly delighted. The seal was beautifully carved, made of good material, and in perfect condition. It could easily be sold for 70,000 to 80,000 yuan.  Moreover, it is not accurate to say that this is a seal, because there is no inscription engraved on the bottom of this seal, which means that this seal is still a printing blank, which can add a lot of value to its price. If you meet people who need it, it is absolutely fine.  Sell ??it for a good price.  So Chu Chen deliberately thought for a moment, then nodded and agreed: "Okay, ten thousand yuan, let's make a deal, but old sir, do you have any boxes for me to put in." The old man said with some embarrassment: "This is really  Sorry, originally, this thing was placed in a brocade box, but during that period, it was buried underground together with the box. When I took it out later, the box was already rotten. Usually, this thing is wrapped in a red cloth.  I thought the red cloth didn't look good, so I randomly found a piece of newspaper. "It turns out that Chu Chen knew why the printing embryo looked a bit gray at first glance. It turned out that it had been re-buried.  The printing base was made using the oil lifting method, and it looked like it had been buried in the soil. No wonder the people in the shop just now thought it was a modern imitation.  After that, Chu Chen established a simple contract, and the two of them paid with one hand and delivered the goods with the other, and the business was completed.  Chu Chen and the others spent a total of more than 10,000 yuan on dinner yesterday, and they didn't have enough money today, so he went to the bank to withdraw another 50,000 yuan this morning. Before he could get the goods, he went to another 10,000 yuan, thinking,  Money is really useless.  But if the old thing doesn't go away and the new thing doesn't come, he would rather it stay like this.  The place to pick up the goods was not far from here, and Chu Chen arrived there within a few steps.  This is a small antique shop, and its location is quite inconspicuous. In addition, there is no store name. Under normal circumstances, few people notice this place. However, this antique shop is originally a wholesale business. The owner of the shop  I don't really care.  The inside of the store is not as small as the outside, almost 40 square meters. The air conditioner is turned on. When you walk inside, a cool breeze hits your face, making the summer heat instantly dissipate.  Speaking of the air conditioner, Chu Chen is really resentful because the place he rents now does not have air conditioning installed. In winter, it is okay, but there is heating. In summer, he can only use a fan to blow the air, which makes people feel dizzy.  .  I wanted to ask Aunt Zhang to install an air conditioner, but she said, what do young people have to be afraid of when it¡¯s so hot? They remember that they didn¡¯t live like that when there was no air conditioner.  That's a good thing, but now that we have air conditioning, why do we still have to live in dry heat?  Chu Chen originally wanted to install an air conditioner by himself, but then he thought about it. If he bought a new house, he wouldn't dismantle an old air conditioner and use it. Wouldn't it be cheaper for Aunt Zhang?  Fortunately, he had achieved some success in the internal martial arts he practiced at that time, so the intense summer heat had less of an impact on him, and that was how things went over the past few years.  The owner of the shop is called Chen Dewang. He is sixty-five years old today. Chu Chen calls him Mr. Chen. At this time, Mr. Chen is lying on a recliner, drinking tea and reading a book, looking contented.  "Good morning, Mr. Chen. I'm here to trouble you again today." "Oh, it's Xiaochen. Are you coming to pick up the goods today?" Chen Dewang asked.  Before Chu Chen could nod, Chen Dewang saw something wrapped in a newspaper in his hand and asked curiously: "Hey, Xiao Chen, what good thing are you holding in your hand?" Chu Chen smiled.  He gently placed the print base on the table and asked him to check it out without saying anything.  After a while, after careful observation, Chen Dewang put the printing embryo on the table again and sighed: "Not bad, it is a sapphire ancient dragon button printing embryo from the Ming Dynasty. It is a good item from the opening of the door. Where did you come from?  Did you get it?" Then Chu Chen told him what happened. After hearing this, Chen Dewang said to him happily:   "Okay, Xiaochen, you have good eyesight. The store you mentioned should be Lao Zhang's store, but Lao Zhang recently went out of town to get goods. Now his son is looking after the door. This kid usually doesn't do his job.  How angry would Lao Zhang be if he found out about this after he came back? By the way, what are you going to do with your imprint?" Seeing what he said, Chu Chen said, "I originally planned to find a suitable one.  The opportunity has changed hands. Since you like it, Mr. Chen, I'll give it to you." "Okay, how about 120,000?" After Chen Dewang finished speaking, he looked at Chu Chen's hesitation and said, "Why, don't you think the money is small?  After hearing this, Chu Chen quickly shook his head and said, "No, I don't think it will be that much, right?" Chen Dewang said with a smile, "Okay, let's just say it. Do you think I will suffer a loss?"  ?¡± After hearing this, Chu Chen rubbed his head and giggled. After that, the two quickly signed the transfer agreement. After that, Chen Dewang wrote a check for 120,000 and handed it to him.  Chu Chen had asked someone for advice before to identify the authenticity of the check. At this glance, he knew it was a real check. After he took the check, he asked curiously: "Mr. Chen, when will you come back?"  Did you use the check?" Chen Dewang said with some pride: "We Chinese citizens in the new century must keep pace with the times. How can we not be as stubborn as you, Uncle Wu, and Lao Zhu? You, Uncle Wu, are better and can learn.  Computer, that Lao Zhu is really an old man. " Of course, Chu Chen couldn't say anything about this kind of thing, he could only nodded in agreement with a silly smile.  Chen Dewang waved his hand and said: "Okay, don't accompany me, an old man. Go inside and pick out whatever goods you want." Most of the items in Chen Dewang's store are modern imitations, and the prices are higher than others.  The place is more expensive, but one good thing is that they are all better imitations, and some of them are very exquisite, which is what Chu Chen likes.  As mentioned before, Chu Chen's business is quite regular. Although he will not tell others whether the items are antiques when choosing stalls, the items he sells are in good quality and are not crooked.  It is an object of dates, or simply a figment.  Chu Chen always believes that since a customer buys something from him, even if the thing has no cultural relic value, it must have a certain artistic value. This is also a kind of respect for the customer.  This can be regarded as a simple idea of ??his, or the bottom line of being a human being.  People say that good people are not rewarded well. In fact, this sentence may not be accurate in the business world. Being righteous means being harmonious and making money.  Although Chu Chen may not earn as much per item as others, over time, he will have more regular or repeat customers, and in total he earns more than others.  After a while of picking and choosing, Chu Chen had already selected most of his targets. Under the influence of Uncle Wu, he used to focus on the porcelain business, so most of the goods he picked up this time were all kinds of relatively exquisite new imitation porcelain.  Others are jade and bronze.  As for calligraphy and painting, Chu Chen did not buy them here, but went to an acquaintance in Nancheng to buy them. After all, he had a specialization in the art industry. Although Chen Dewang also had calligraphy and painting here, he either couldn't afford it or it didn't catch his eye.  "Hey!" Suddenly, Chu Chen was attracted by a piece of jade. It was a jade pendant carved from black and white jade.  Black and white jade is actually black jade with a white jade background. It is also called blue and white jade in the market.  Blue and white jade is white jade or blue and white jade that shows black stars, or cloud-like or strip-like black lines, which can be called blue and white jade. If the blue and white jade is black (grey) and white, it is what people call black and white jade.  At first glance, the surface of this jade pendant is gray and not very bright, giving people a dull feeling, but upon closer inspection, you can still see that it is extraordinary.  So he took it in his hand without hesitation. As soon as he got the jade pendant in his hand, his superpowers began to activate. There was no doubt that it was an old jade.  Chu Chen ignored other issues and raised the jade pendant in his hand to observe carefully.  This jade pendant is an open-carved round pendant with a curling cloud pattern as the frame. The open-carved frame is a pattern of two chilongs playing with beads. The overall lines are smooth and the carving is powerful. It should be said that it has a certain degree of skill.  Overall, this should be a jade pendant carved in the middle or late Qing Dynasty. As for why Chu Chen could not accurately determine it, it was because he was not as proficient in jade as he was in porcelain.  Later, I used supernatural powers to confirm that this jade pendant was a mid-Qing Dynasty open-carved chilong pattern pei.  As for why this jade pendant looks a bit dull, it should be because it has not been worn for a long time. As long as it is worn for a period of time, it will be a different scene.  However, Chu Chen was still a little surprised. Why would Mr. Chen put this jade pendant among the imitations?  According to his eyesight, it shouldn't be.    Unable to figure it out for a while, Chu Chen put this issue aside. Now there was a strange phenomenon that made him very concerned.  The feeling of being attracted to the jade pendant just now really made him feel confused, and this feeling was not the first time today. It had appeared just now when he found the seal embryo. He didn't pay attention to it at the time.  He thought it was an accidental phenomenon, but now it seems that there must be some problem that he didn't discover.
