    Looking at this jade dragon again, it has a strong body and a bowed body, forming an "S" shape. It forms multiple combinations of several small "S" shapes with the dragon's feet or dorsal fins, giving people a sense of rhythm.  The whole body is carved with grain patterns, like pearls dancing with the dragon, like a small white dragon tumbling and playing in the clouds.  Judging from the shape of the jade dragon, it conforms to the characteristics of dragons in the Warring States Period. The grain patterns on the dragon's body are very similar to the style of the Spring and Autumn Period, but the shape is slightly smaller, the papillae feel prickly, and there are protruding "bud curves" at the bottom, which are densely and evenly arranged.  This is also in line with the characteristics of grain patterns in the early Warring States Period.  From the perspective of carving techniques, they also reflect the characteristics of the Warring States Period, especially the contour lines. It can be clearly seen that shallow carvings of positive and negative lines are used.  Chu Chen finally judged from the characteristics of natural erosion and other characteristics that this white jade dragon-shaped valley pattern pendant should be a work from the early Warring States Period. It can be seen from the overall appearance and jade carving techniques that this jade can be regarded as  The finest jade pendant of the Warring States Period.  Chu Chen walked back to his seat from the stage, nodded lightly to Zhao Qirui, and then whispered: "Warring States jade pendant, good quality." After hearing this, Zhao Qirui nodded, and then asked curiously: "Just now, where are you?  Did you have a conflict with Lao Qian on stage?" Chu Chen said a little embarrassedly: "He was rude, I gave him a lesson, Brother Zhao, I'm sorry for causing you trouble." Zhao Liurui waved his hand and said with a smile.  "Why are you causing trouble? We won't take the initiative to cause trouble, but don't be afraid of trouble. I understand Lao Qian clearly. A typical woman with breasts is a mother, but Xiao Chu, I can't tell that you are still a master!" Chu Chenwen  After speaking, he said modestly: "I am not a master at all. I just practiced some family traditions." "Young master, Chao said you are a master, will he still lie to me? Next time  If you have a chance, you and Ah Chao will compete to see who is more powerful." Zhao Qirui pointed at Chu Chen and smiled.  ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll ask Brother Chu for more advice then.¡± This suggestion made Ah Chao quite moved.  Chu Chen quickly said: "Don't take advice seriously, let's learn from each other." At the same time, the auction officially started.  "Please bid." "Fifty thousand" "Eighty thousand" "Sixteen thousand" The price of 160,000 immediately made everyone at the scene stunned. It was not that this jade pendant was not worth the value, mainly because the price was directly high.  Double the price, which is relatively rare.  Everyone followed the voice and looked over, and the person who made the offer was clearly the young master who was disliked by Chu Chen and others.  Seeing this situation, Zhao Qirui couldn't help but frowned, and then said: "180,000" "185,000" "250,000." Unexpectedly, Young Master Yu reported another surprising number.  Price, you must know that this is just a black market for antiques. The value of this jade here is only about 200,000. Does he really like this jade pendant?  However, the woman on the stage was beaming with joy at this time. She was surprised that a jade pendant could be sold at such a price, so she shouted: "This gentleman bids 250,000, is there anyone else who will bid next?"  There was a sudden silence. The price had exceeded everyone's psychological bottom line. Even if they liked it, they were still thinking that it would be difficult to take pictures in this format, so they all stopped.  However, Zhao Qirui felt a little conflicted at this time. It didn't matter if he didn't make a price, but he made a price and ended up letting the junior get something. He couldn't accept it in terms of face. After thinking about it, he said: "Two hundred and eighty thousand!"  When the price was reported, the woman on the stage smiled even more brightly, and Young Master Yu turned her head to look at Zhao Qirui and smiled.  Chu Chen and others originally thought that he would still make a quotation, but they did not expect that he would become silent after turning around, which was quite anticlimactic.  This situation made Zhao Qirui feel like he had been punched in cotton, and he felt so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood.  In the end, as expected, this jade pendant fell into the hands of Zhao Qirui for 280,000 yuan.  "Achao, help me go up and get it." Zhao Qirui said listlessly. Although he liked this jade pendant, buying it at such a price really felt like being taken advantage of. The key was that it was in the hands of a junior.  , which is quite uncomfortable in terms of face, and he can't cause trouble for this kind of thing.  Seeing this situation, Chu Chen said: "Brother Zhao, the valuation of this jade pendant at the auction should be around 300,000. Besides, heroes don't care about temporary gains and losses." "Xiao Chu, thank you, you are right, laugh.  The winner is the one in the end." After all, Zhao Qirui has gone through many years of ups and downs. This performance was just due to a temporary gap, and he adjusted his mentality in an instant.    There are three more lots on the next table, but the value is not too high. Because of what happened before, Zhao Qirui is not interested in them, and among these three items, there is nothing that Chu Chen likes, so they are not on the stage.  Check.  After this batch of things were auctioned, Chu Chen thought there would be more exciting things next, but found that everyone present stood up, and Zhao Qirui on the side patted him on the shoulder and said: "Let's go, Ah Chao  Let's go and settle the bill. It's time to go have dinner together. "Isn't this all there anymore? Is this the only thing in the antique black market?" Chu Chen said in shock when he saw this situation.  After hearing this, Zhao Qirui asked him with a smile: "Xiao Chu, are you feeling a big gap in your heart?" Chu Chen nodded, sighed and followed the others out.  The black market auction that he had high hopes for turned out to be just this little thing.  Not to mention the pile of junk at the beginning, the value of the remaining items was not high, and at least one of them was a fake. It was far from what he expected before coming, which made him feel very depressed.  After the four of them got in the car, Zhao Qirui smiled at Chu Chen and said: "Xiao Chu, don't be so grim. This is just a warm-up. There is a nightclub in the evening, and that is the real black market for antiques.  Ma Baldzi, who was sitting in front, also smiled and said: "Master Chu, the auction just now was just a test, and it doesn't matter if it is caught by the public security bureau. It is just an illegal business at most."  Chen said with some astonishment: "You mean, those things just now have no legal problems? Isn't there a jade pendant that was damaged?" Ma Baldy laughed and said: "Generally speaking, there is no problem. As for that  I really don¡¯t know much about the fake jade pendant. Logically speaking, there shouldn¡¯t be such fake things in the auction just now.¡± Chu Chen nodded after hearing this, so that¡¯s what happened.  But think about it, the organizers of the antique black market have taken a lot of risks after all, so they can't be too cautious, and the auction just now played a certain early warning role.  However, Chu Chen was thinking about it and suddenly thought of something, so he said with some confusion: "Brother Zhao, do you think this jade pendant was brought by Mr. Yu?" After hearing this, Zhao Qirui was stunned and thought for a moment.  Thinking about the scene just now, it was indeed possible, but there were some parts of it that he still couldn't figure out, so he said, "Ma Baldy, please help me check, who is the owner of this jade pendant?" After hearing this, Ma Baldy  , said with some embarrassment: "Mr. Zhao, you also know the rules of my industry. You cannot inquire about the source of things, so I can only help you try to inquire. As for the result, I really can't guarantee anything." "Okay.  , It doesn¡¯t matter where you go, but after finding out, I can¡¯t do without your benefit.¡± Zhao Qirui waved his hand and said.  Bald Ma thought for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll do my best." "Haha" Zhao Qirui stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, and then said, "Bald Ma, is there any good place to eat here?  ?¡± Bald Ma showed a flattered expression, nodded and said, ¡°Mr. Zhao, I don¡¯t know if you have any dietary restrictions. I know that there is a place nearby that makes very good donkey meat, and it¡¯s very fresh.¡±  Chu Chen said that he had no taboo, and Zhao Qirui waved his hand: "Okay, let's eat this." The place Ma Baldy introduced is indeed very good, it looks very clean, and the donkey meat tastes very fresh. The key is that it tastes good.  , the portion is sufficient.  Donkey meat in five-spice sauce, cured donkey meat, donkey meat soup, etc. are very authentic, and also highlight the characteristics of donkey meat. Everyone eats large pieces, and they call it "dragon meat in the sky, donkey meat on the ground"  ".  After drinking and eating, Zhao Qirui said to Chu Chen: "Xiao Chu, there are still a lot of good things in the auction later. If you come across something you like, you can take a photo of it. I guarantee you won't have any problems." "Thank you, Zhao."  Brother, I only brought more than 20,000 yuan, so I can't afford good things." Chu Chen said with a bitter smile. He didn't know that Zhao Qirui was here to participate in the antique black market. If he had known earlier, he would have withdrawn some money.  .  Zhao Qirui clapped his hands and said, "It's my fault. I didn't tell you clearly before, but it's okay. As long as the items don't exceed 300,000 yuan, I'll give you the money." Chu Chen quickly said gratefully: "Mr. Zhao, that's really true.  Thank you so much." After everyone sat here for half an hour, Ma Tuzi received the call, and then Ah Chao drove the three of them to the agreed upon location.  Chu Chen didn¡¯t expect that this was a well-known star-rated hotel in the local area. He didn¡¯t know if the organizer had great powers or courage, but he actually put the auctioned itemsThe party chose a conference room in the hotel, and there were two very beautiful reception ladies standing at the door.  If it weren¡¯t for the identification required when entering, Chu Chen would have thought he was in the wrong place.  But if you think that the defenses here are not good, you would be totally wrong.  There are several cameras installed inside and outside this place. Chu Chen believes that if there is any abnormality in the auction, the organizers will immediately take corresponding actions.
