    Although this amphora looks very exquisite and authentic, Chu Chen was still meticulous when appraising it. He first observed its base and saw the six alums "Made in the Qianlong Year of the Qing Dynasty" on the bottom of the bottle.  The red seal script is very neat and powerful, and it can be seen at a glance that it is a typical feature of official kilns.  Then look at its tires, delicate and clean. Because the tire quality of the Qianlong period became rough, it should be seen that this bipyle bottle should be a work in the middle and middle of Qianlong.  The fetus is the bone, and the glaze is the clothing. After looking at the fetus, of course you also need to look at the glaze. This amphorae has a solid glaze, as smooth as fat and jade, and is smooth and flawless. It can be said to be a masterpiece among colored vases.  Finally, Chu Chen looked at the overall shape and pattern characteristics. He used six words to describe them: dignified, neat and refined, gorgeous in style, no expense spared, natural coating, and in good condition. From these points, this should be the Qianlong Emperor.  An early work of fine craftsmanship, very valuable for collection.  Before buying antiques, the most taboo thing is to be surprised during the appraisal. The seller can be said to be looking at your performance before making an offer. If you show that you like it, the price will undoubtedly go up.  After carefully appreciating the amphora, Chu Chen's face was still calm, and the exclamation in his heart was not revealed at all. He put away his gloves and magnifying glass and looked at it leisurely.  Mr. Wang said: "Mr. Wang, I still like your amphorae, but I don't know how much you want it to cost." This tone undoubtedly gave Mr. Wang a feeling that if the price he offered was too high,  , it is very likely that the transaction will not be completed, so he thought for a while and then said: "Mr. Chu, if I were not in a hurry for money, I would definitely not sell this amphorae. I will offer a real price, fifty-five  "Wan, how about it?" Chu Chen thought to himself, you are right to be anxious. How can I lower the price if you are not anxious, so he smiled lightly and said: "I don't know if Mr. Wang knows that during the spring auction this year, the same thing was auctioned.  A similar piece of amphorae, do you know the final price?" At this point, he paused and then said: "Six hundred and sixty thousand! Think about it, there is still a commission and personal cost for the auction.  Income tax and other expenses are only 660,000, and the auction will take a lot of time, what do you think? " "This" Mr. Wang was a little overwhelmed when he heard that this happened.  He had no doubt in his heart that what Chu Chen said was true or false, because lying about this kind of thing would ruin his reputation. At this time, his face showed a trace of sadness, and there was even a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.  It shows the anxiety and worry in his heart.  Mr. Wang thought about it for a while, maybe he was really in urgent need of money, or for some other reason. He gritted his teeth and said to Chu Chen: "Mr. Chu, if you want five hundred thousand, let's trade it right away. I'm leaving right now."  If not, I¡¯ll find someone else.¡± Chu Chen thought to himself that Mr. Wang might not be very familiar with antiques.  Otherwise, we would not know that even if the price of antiques differs by just a few months, there will be considerable changes. If an amphora with this appearance were to be auctioned again, the possibility would not exceed 660,000. It can be said that  It's minimal.  Chu Chen didn't agree eagerly, because in that case Mr. Wang might change his decision, so he thought for a while and then agreed with a smile: "Mr. Wang, since you are so anxious, then I will buy it.  We can sign the agreement now." Hearing Chuchen's agreement, Mr. Wang also breathed a sigh of relief, and then the two parties made a simple agreement, with Uncle Wu as the witness of the agreement.  After the agreement was signed, they went to the bank to transfer the money together, and then said goodbye to each other.  After Uncle Wu saw Mr. Wang leaving in a hurry, he happily patted Chu Chen on the shoulder and said: "Okay, now you have a way of doing business. With the current market price, it would cost you less than 600,000 yuan to win such a beautiful carmine."  You can¡¯t get it either. You¡¯ve made a fortune this time.¡± Chu Chen shook his head and said, ¡°Uncle Wu, this is also because Mr. Wang was too eager to take action, otherwise he wouldn¡¯t be able to get the money.  I don't intend to make money from this amphora. " "Oh! Seriously, I haven't asked you who got it, and where did you get the five hundred thousand?  After paying the rent and buying a computer, the money that was missed before was probably not enough for half a million yuan. " Chu Chen felt a little embarrassed when Uncle Wu mentioned this. He had not mentioned the experience of the past two days to Uncle Wu.  So the two of them walked and talked. When they returned to Uncle Wu's shop, Chu Chen briefly explained the events of the past two days to Uncle Wu.  After Uncle Wu heard this, the expression on his face was quite wonderful. He didn't expect that Chu Chen's experience in just a few days would be so incredible.  In just a few days, a millionaire has?The birth was so easy that Uncle Wu felt a sense of change. After digesting such surprising news, he jokingly said to Chu Chen: "Xiao Chen, you didn't even tell me such a good thing, right?  Are you afraid that I'll ask you to borrow money?" When Chu Chen heard Uncle Wu talking about borrowing money, he remembered that it was almost time for the holidays in the UK, which meant that Wu Ke's expenses for the next semester were about to start again.  It's about to be handed over. Whenever this happens, Uncle Wu is most worried.  Although the antique business seems to make a lot of money, the business is often not stable. Sometimes you make more and sometimes you make less. Otherwise, there would be no such old saying that it lasts half a year after opening. Although Uncle Wu has opened an antique shop for nearly 20 years  , making a lot of money, but Wu Ke also has a lot of tuition and living expenses.  Uncle Wu¡¯s savings over the years have almost been spent on Wu Ke. Although she usually works abroad, her salary is only a drop in the bucket.  Besides, Uncle Wu didn't really want Wu Ke to work part-time. He always told her that her studies were the most important thing. He told her that as long as you finish your studies and return to China as soon as possible, you will save much more money than you would have spent working.  Wu Ke¡¯s calculation was right. If he skipped a level, he could save at least more than 200,000 yuan. If he had to work part-time, he wouldn¡¯t know how hard he would have to earn that much money, and that¡¯s not counting the impact of his studies.  So she put all her energy into studying. She was originally smart. Although skipping a grade was a bit difficult for her, she could still complete it if she worked harder.  Last year, she finally achieved this goal, so that she could complete her five-year bachelor's and master's studies next year.  Even so, Uncle Wu is still a little nervous about paying for the tuition for the last year. He has no choice but to find a way to borrow money.  Thinking of this, Chu Chen felt a little ashamed. Uncle Wu was usually so kind to him, but when he needed help, he didn't expect it at all. This was really inappropriate, so he defended himself with some shame: "No way, I just  I've been too busy these days and I don't have time to come to Uncle Wu. I can't explain such things on the phone. Uncle Wu, don't bother me. Just leave Xiaoke's tuition to me. Anyway, I'm like this now.  It¡¯s a lot of money, but I won¡¯t be able to use it for a while.¡± When Uncle Wu heard what Chu Chen said, he said with some relief: ¡°Uncle Wu has not loved you in vain for so many years, but how can Uncle Wu ask for your money? Besides, you have reached the age of starting a family.  Now that I¡¯m getting older, should I consider buying a house in the capital?¡± ¡°Uncle Wu, I¡¯m only twenty-one years old. I¡¯m not old enough to start a family. Besides, even if I want to buy a house, how can I spend more than one million?¡±  I¡¯m not going to buy a courtyard house, and I can¡¯t even afford it with my little money. Okay, Uncle Wu, please stop talking, I will be responsible for Xiaoke¡¯s tuition, and I¡¯m in a hurry!¡±  Uncle Wu listened to Chu Chen's decisive tone and saw that he would not give up until he agreed, so he nodded and agreed, jokingly saying: "Okay, can't I agree? But Uncle Wu has no money.  If she doesn't pay back, she will pledge herself to you." When Chu Chen heard what Uncle Wu said, he said with a bitter face: "Uncle Wu, just let me go.  Well, just think of this money as my support for Xiao Ke¡¯s studies, and I don¡¯t want her to pay it back.¡± In fact, the money was settled, which made Uncle Wu feel relieved. Although he had sold some antiques, he didn¡¯t have to pay them back.  It doesn't take much money to borrow, but although he seems to be very generous to Chu Chen, he is the best face in front of others. Whether he or his family are asked to borrow money, it is really difficult to win over him.  Being carefree and carefree is what Uncle Wu is like now. When he saw Chu Chen's sad face, he wanted to laugh a little, but the more he looked at him, the more he liked him. From the bottom of his heart, he wanted Chu Chen to be his son-in-law, but  This kind of thing cannot be forced, it can only depend on the two of them.  Then, Uncle Wu looked at the amphora on the table, turned to Chu Chen and said: "You just said that Mr. Zhao asked you to find this amphora? You are not afraid that Uncle Zhao will blame you for robbing him.  Business." Chu Chen chuckled and said, "Uncle Zhao can't blame me for this, and I think Mr. Zhao should take this opportunity to test me. I should take Mr. Dong's job from now on, like this  I guess I should leave the fiber-stretching work to Uncle Zhao, after all, he has more channels than me. " At this point, he asked another question: "By the way, Uncle Wu, do you know Mr. Zhao clearly?  Are you so dissatisfied with Mr. Dong? " "I know a little bit about this." Uncle Wu frowned and replied, "It is said that Mr. Dong has joined a newly opened auction house. Recently, some dragons have disappeared. I often watch it.  The person who didn¡¯t see him was probably because Mr. Zhao didn¡¯t agree to help him several times, so he was annoyed. Only the two of them knew the specific situation.¡± Then he smiled and said: ¡°This matter.  ???It's also a good thing for you. From now on, if you stay with him, you will see the scene. You must step up your accumulation of knowledge. Don't have a blind eye when the appraisal comes. Then your face will be lost at grandma's house.  .  " "It doesn't matter whether you increase the price for this amphora or not. Even if you don't increase the price, Mr. Zhao will not let you suffer a loss. It is up to you to judge the specific situation.  "
