    "Hey, little brother, stop standing there, that door can't be opened temporarily." Just as Chu Chen was standing in front of the door, feeling a little annoyed, suddenly the owner of an antique shop next door waved at him.  The boss's words made Chu Chen feel very puzzled. What do you mean that it can't be opened temporarily? Could it be that Lao Zhou's store has closed down?  Never heard of it before!  So he walked into the antique shop next door, ready to ask for more information.  "Boss, I don't know what your name is. I want to ask you, what do you mean by what you just said?" "Haha, my surname is Feng. You can also call me Lao Feng. Little brother, you are the one who often  Come to Lao Zhou to get the goods, haven't you heard? The day before yesterday, Lao Zhou jumped off the building and left." After saying this, Boss Feng shook his head and sighed.  "Old Zhou is dead? How did you say that? A few days ago, I heard one of my elders say that Old Zhou was going to make a lot of money, so why did he just leave right away?" Chu Chen was shocked at first, and then felt  Very surprised.  Boss Feng shook his head and sighed: "Hey, who says it's not the case? The problem lies in making a lot of money." When Chu Chen heard this, he asked strangely: "What's going on, Boss Feng, if it's convenient  "Can you tell me?" "Haha, okay, it's a hot day and there isn't much business, so I'll tell you." After that, Boss Feng enthusiastically poured a cup of tea for Chu Chen.  "Old Zhou, this time I was obsessed and stepped on a 'landmine'. I lost a total of 600,000 yuan. As you know, there is a prodigal son in the old Zhou family. The 600,000 yuan can be said to be all he has."  After losing everything, Lao Yiyi couldn't think about it anymore, so he jumped from the building. It was so miserable!" Boss Feng sighed with regret.  "Old Zhou's real name is Zhou Xicai. There is nothing wrong with him in other aspects. He is just greedy for money and likes to take advantage of others. Moreover, he also has a very big problem, he likes to kill people who are familiar with him.  This is the most annoying thing no matter what industry you are in, especially the antiques industry, which is all about reputation and credibility. If things go on like this, it can be imagined that the business in his store will be bad.  ??Originally, Lao Zhou¡¯s store opened in Liulichang, and the business was pretty good. But because of his problem, the store there couldn¡¯t continue to open, so he moved the store to Baoguo Temple.  When he got here, he finally learned some lessons and restrained himself a little, so his business was just so-so.  Uncle Wu and Lao Zhou have been friends for a long time. They were friends who grew up together when they were young, so Lao Zhou has never been familiar with Uncle Wu.  Besides, the calligraphy and painting in his shop are indeed pretty good, so Uncle Wu asked Chu Chen to come here to get the goods. Otherwise, given Chu Chen's character and knowing that he likes to kill people, he would definitely not come here to get the goods.  As for how Lao Zhou stepped on the landmine, it was also very simple.  On the evening of Tuesday this week, Lao Zhou closed the door a little late because he had something to do. At this time, a woman led a boy and walked up to him.  Both of them were dressed like country people. The woman didn't seem to be very old, but her face was full of wrinkles and she looked very sad, while the little boy looked about five or six years old, with sharp eyes.  If it's kept tightly closed, there must be something wrong with the eyes.  The woman took out a piece of jade from a cloth bag beside her and timidly said to Lao Zhou: "Oldboss, II have something here, do you want it?" "Gohuh?" Old Zhou  Zhou Ji has been running a shop for more than ten years and is an old man. Seeing this situation, he thought that he might have encountered a "landmine", but when he looked up and saw what the woman was holding, his heart couldn't help but pound.  After a few contractions, more than ten years of experience in antiques gave him an understanding of other aspects besides calligraphy and painting.  At first glance, this thing looked like a piece of jade beast Jue from the Hongshan Culture, which is often called the jade pig dragon. The more it looked, the more it looked like it. Lao Zhou became excited. If this piece was a real jade pig,  Dragon, that¡¯s not bad, it¡¯s worth millions at least.  The woman behaved like an honest person afterwards. When she saw Lao Zhou's waving gesture, she put the jade pig dragon back into her pocket and silently prepared to turn around and leave.  "Hey, sister, please wait a moment." Since Lao Zhou had doubts about the jade pig dragon, he would not let it go easily, so he stopped her. In fact, at this point, Lao Zhou had already  He fell into it with his greed.  "Sister, do you want to sell that stone of yours?" Old Zhou Zhou was also quite cunning. First of all, he didn't say it was jade.  "This is not a stone, it is jade." The woman raised her voice when she answered, but her voice was still full of timidity.  Lao Zhou was also thick-skinned and said with a smile: "Didn't you just look at it a few times and not see it clearly? If you want to take action, please let me do it." After saying that, he saw the woman.?Looking a little confused, he explained: "Just show it to me." "Oh, show it to you. It's no problem, but boss, please don't say it's a stone again." After that, he took the Jade Pig Dragon again.  He took it out of the bag and handed it directly to Lao Zhou.  When Lao Zhou saw the woman's appearance, he knew that this was not the behavior that an expert should behave. As mentioned before, if she was an expert, she would definitely put the things aside before letting him pick them up.  But if he knew what happened to Chu Chen, he wouldn't think so.  Lao Zhou took the jade pig dragon and looked at it carefully, including the patina, workmanship, degree of corrosion, color, etc. The more he looked at it, the more authentic it became. He thought to himself: "This jade pig dragon looks like it should be a modern piece."  It's a genuine product, and judging from its condition, it can be sold for at least one million. If it goes to an auction company, it can easily reach two million." Thinking of this, his heart was filled with excitement, and he quickly asked the woman: "Sister.  "How much are you prepared for this thing? I want it." The woman frowned and thought for a while, then said humbly: "Boss, I don't know the price of this thing. How about you give it eight thousand?"  Eight thousand!" When he heard the price, Lao Zhou was really shocked. God wants me to get rich. This is not picking up money. What is picking up money? At this time, he was already dreaming about a rich life in the future.  .  However, this made the woman think that her price was too high, so she cried: "Boss, I really can't help it. Look at my child. After he fell ill when he was a child, his eyes became bad. In order to treat him, he  My father also had a car accident when he went out to work, and I was the only one who supported the whole family, and there was no money for my child's medical treatment. " "A while ago, a scholar in our village reminded me that if there is an old person in the family, he should come to the capital to talk about it.  Maybe it can be sold for a good price. Then I remembered that our family has an ancestral jade. I heard from the elders that this thing is quite precious. I don¡¯t know if it is worth 8,000, but for the sake of my children,  "Okay, okay, just buy it." When the little boy heard this, he also begged: "Uncle, please have mercy on me. I will definitely repay you when I grow up."  Their appearance made them more certain that the jade pig dragon in their hands should be a genuine one. When he opened his mouth to agree, a voice suddenly came from the side.  "Sister, I want thirty thousand for this jade pig dragon." Hearing this, Lao Yiyi looked at the person who made the sound with his eyes wide open. It turned out to be a very well-dressed middle-aged man. I don't know when  stood next to them.  "Hey, what's going on with you? Are you trying to stop me?" There is a rule in the antique shop. If one party is looking at something or making a transaction, others should wait aside until one party  If you are not satisfied, that person can take over.  If you don¡¯t follow the rules and set prices randomly, you are breaking the rules.  This kind of behavior of raising the bidder's price and rushing to buy it is called blocking.  Of course, Lao Zhou couldn't tolerate this man's behavior that broke the rules. The key was that it also involved his opportunity to make a lot of money, so he was anxious at that time.  The middle-aged man didn't care, and said with a faint smile: "Boss, haven't you bought it yet? I also like this thing very much, just give it to me. And such a jade pig dragon, what do you think?  Don¡¯t you think it¡¯s a bit bullying to buy it for a thousand yuan?¡± ¡°Okay, if you¡¯re cruel, I¡¯ll pay you 50,000 yuan!¡± Lao Zhou gritted his teeth and made another offer.  After this offer, everyone knows what happened next. Next, it went to 100,000, 150,000, 300,000, and finally rose to 550,000 offered by the middle-aged man.  At this time, Lao Zhou was completely crazy. He calculated his wealth, became cruel, and shouted: "I will offer 600,000 yuan, haha, if you are more capable than 600,000 yuan, I won't give it up."  "The middle-aged man sighed and turned around sadly, while the woman put on a dumbfounded look. Seeing this, Lao Zhou proudly said to the woman: "Let's go and sign the agreement."  After that, there was the tragedy mentioned before.  Lao Zhou's lesson actually tells people that if you want to get into the antiques industry, there are several key points to keep in mind, which are "learn more, see more, buy less" and the most important point is "stop being greedy"  , and Lao Zhou can be said to have accounted for all of these.  First of all, let¡¯s learn more. Lao Zhou obviously specializes in calligraphy and painting. Although he knows a little about Hongshan Jade, he can¡¯t even talk about being proficient in it.  In this way, he clearly knew that counterfeiting of Hongshan jade was rampant, but he decided that the jade pig dragon was authentic or fake without considering other people's opinions. He was really arrogant.  And if he could look carefully, it would not be difficult to see the flaw in this Jade Pig Dragon.  First of all, thisThe corrosion of the jade pig dragon is completely chemical, and the holes and spots are very uniform.  As for naturally formed ones, the degree of corrosion can range from mild to severe, local or global.  Then there is the drilling and polishing. The Hongshan Culture was a primitive culture five to six thousand years ago. Therefore, animal bones were used for drilling at that time, and the center was often misaligned, which resulted in so-called step marks.  .And the holes are honeycomb-shaped with big outside and small inside.
