    When the four of them came in, there were not many people inside, but they still chose a seat that was not near the front. In Zhao Qirui's words, it was better to be moderate in a place like this.  The treatment at the evening auction is undoubtedly better than that in the afternoon.  Whenever someone comes in, a waiter will prepare water, fruits, etc. for them. They don¡¯t need to bring their own water like in the afternoon.  Taking advantage of his free time, Ma Baldzi introduced the rules of the auction to Chu Chen. Everything else was the same, but there was no such thing as a failed auction, and the price increase for the auctioned items must be tens of thousands.  When Chu Chen heard this, he was a little surprised and said: "Then if it is obvious that it is a fake, do you still have to sell it by force?" Ma Baldy laughed and said: "Well, there is nothing we can do about it. The things here are normally compared to normal ones."  The auction price is lower, and you can't make much money after removing the cost, so you need some subsidies, otherwise others are not fools, Mr. Chu, don't you think so? " Chu Chen thought for a while, and this is indeed the truth.  But I always felt like I was being taken advantage of.  Next, more and more people came, but there were actually faces that he had not seen in the afternoon. When he saw two of them and Zhao Qirui nodding, Chu Chen knew in his heart that these were either powerful people or old customers.  However, Chu Chen also discovered that even if they knew each other, few sat together.  After a while, people were almost there, and Chu Chen thought that Yu Guangjie (Chu Chen had asked Ah Chao his name before) might have something to do and wouldn't come.  But just as he thought of this, Yu Guangjie and Qian Changxing came in together. When they saw Chu Chen and the four of them, they smiled at them, but Chu Chen always felt that there was a hint of schadenfreude in their smiles.  .  Zhao Qirui was also well-behaved. He actually smiled and nodded at them. After they walked to their seats, Zhao Qirui smiled and said: "We are in a losing battle, but we have to play with them if we have the chance."  At the end of his speech, Chu Chen clearly felt a hint of anger in his tone.  After another five minutes, it was estimated that all the customers had arrived, and the door was locked.  Then the auctioneer walked in, but this auctioneer was not the charming woman in the afternoon, but a middle-aged man with a magnetic voice.  After the auctioneer took the stage, the lights in the room were lowered and the projector in the room was turned on.  The auctioneer was not polite and said, "Everyone here is an old customer. I won't say much. The first item is a pair of rhinoceros rectangular plates." When the auctioneer spoke, there were two  A welcome guest walked out of the small door on one side, and then placed the pair of plates on the table on the stage. Then the projector also displayed photos of two things, a pair of exquisite rhino-cut rectangular plates.  It caught everyone's eyes.  Zhao Qirui asked Chu Chen with great interest: "Xiao Chu, how do you like this pair of things?" The rhinoceros is also called cloud carving. Its craft is to first paint the fetal bones with red, black or more colors, until it is quite  After the thickness is increased, the pattern is cut out diagonally, so different color layers are exposed on the knife edge section.  Because the cross-section of the knife edge reveals layers of paint of different colors, which are very similar to the texture effect of the layers surrounding the cross-section of rhinoceros horn, it is named "tick rhinoceros".  The Ming Dynasty Huang Cheng's "Painting Record" has this description of the rhinoceros: "The rhinoceros has a vermilion surface, a black surface, and a transparent purple surface. It may have vermilion lines between blacks, black belts between reds, or carved fringes, etc.  Covered, or three-color change, the text is all sparsely carved with sword rings, heavy circles, back patterns, etc. "The carved rhinoceros lacquer is unique in the ancient lacquerware decoration technology.  It was first discovered in the Song Dynasty.  Mr. Wang Shixiang once said: "The shape of rhinoceros rhinoceros may have been finalized in the Song Dynasty. Its shape and pattern are very similar to the silverware of the Song Dynasty." Rhinoceros rhinoceros ware is the finest lacquer ware, a luxury item for noble families, and a handed down product.  Among them, there are only as few as morning stars, which is very rare.  "This pair of rhinoceros-cut rectangular plates looks quite beautiful when you look at the photos, and rhinoceros-cut products were used by nobles in the past. Buying them is in line with your status, Brother Zhao. However, my identification of the rhinoceros-cut items may not be too accurate.  " Although Chu Chen had the help of supernatural powers, it was easy to judge the age. However, he had only read some information about the rhinoceros products and had basically no research on the actual objects, so the details would definitely not be in place, so he said it directly, and  This also seems more realistic. After all, no one is proficient in all aspects of antiques.  Zhao Qirui was stunned after hearing this, and then thought about this problem, and smiled and said: "That's right, otherwise you would really be a monster, but it doesn't matter, you go up and try it first." After Chu Chen came to the stage, he used it directly  This is the first time he has used his superpower today.  Because there were a lot of things at the auction, he had decided on the use of the superpower before.Save what you can, but I didn't expect to take pictures of those things in the afternoon, and the two items he appraised were both visible with your eyesight.  Chu Chen now relies on his eyesight to judge time, and the two categories he is most confident about are porcelain and jade, and for the time being, his main focus is on these two aspects.  However, he can also read other aspects of knowledge. There is no way, who knows that he has the ability of photographic memory.  Of course, this will definitely help him a lot in learning antique identification. Just like now, although Chu Chen has not come into contact with rhinoceros products, comparing it with the information in his memory, coupled with the ability to judge the results, the learning speed  It has undoubtedly sped up a lot.  This pair of rectangular plates with carved rhinoceros is about 38 centimeters long and 14 centimeters wide. The whole body is black lacquer and fully carved with Ruyi patterns, which deeply reveals several layers of red lacquer sandwiched in the black lacquer.  The Ruyi pattern is curled and symmetrical, the paint color is calm and pure, the knife work is graceful and smooth, and the broken lines on the bottom of the plate are fine and natural.  Judging from the knife skills and other aspects, the pair of rectangular plates are almost the same, and judging from several characteristics, they should be made by the same person. They are both the standard appearance of lacquerware in the Ming Dynasty, and the different abilities also confirm that the pair of rectangular plates are  They are all works from the mid-Ming Dynasty.  After walking back to his seat, Chu Chen said softly: "It should be a pair of rhinoceros works from the mid-Ming Dynasty. It's very open." However, although Chu Chen said that this was something from the Ming Dynasty, he shook his head. This action was of course  Do it for others to see.  The reason why he is more cautious now is that the view is better when he comes here than in the afternoon, and others can easily notice his movements.  Secondly, the auction is a place of intrigue after all. Not only do you have to guard against other people, but more importantly, there are Yu Guangjie and the others who are watching eagerly. In order to avoid what happened in the afternoon, it is better to be cautious.  "Really?" "I won't be wrong about this work with a large door. If you're worried, Brother Zhao, I'll take a photo of it and if it's not right, I'll buy it." Chu Chen said with confidence.  .  Zhao Qirui said sincerely: "Xiao Chu, you don't have to be like this. Although we haven't cooperated much, I can see that you won't come to conclusions easily when you make an appraisal. I will definitely believe what you say." "  Thank you Brother Zhao for your trust, but I still want to say that if what I appraise is wrong, you can come to me and I can compensate you for all your losses. " Chu Chen solemnly stated the guarantee. After all, the two of you can't.  He has not cooperated with many people. He said this to dispel some of Zhao Qirui's doubts. As for Zhao Qirui completely trusting him, he did not ask for this, but he believed that with his ability, Zhao Qirui would take it seriously sooner or later.  admire him.  After hearing this, Zhao Qirui said happily: "Xiao Chu, don't be so serious, but I still like your character. It's real and reassuring." When the auctioneer saw no one came to the stage to check, he said: "Start bidding.  The price is 10,000, everyone, please start bidding." "Thirty thousand" "Fifty thousand" I didn't expect that many people like this thing. In just a while, someone has bid up to 120,000.  "150,000" Yu Guangjie also started bidding.  After this price came out, there was silence all around. This price should be everyone¡¯s psychological price.  Chu Chen originally thought that Zhao Qirui would not bid anymore, but he did not expect that he quoted a price of 160,000 before the auctioneer ended the bidding.  Maybe Yu Guangjie thought he was sure, but he didn't expect that someone else would quote, which made him slightly stunned. So he looked back at Zhao Qirui, only to see Zhao Qirui smiling at him. This smile seemed to him to be unique.  Deep meaning.  Yu Guangjie smiled unnaturally, then turned back and frowned and thought for a while, but finally gave up the offer to Chu Chen's surprise. This was actually a bit different from his aggressive attitude in the afternoon.   Zhao Qirui observed the rhinoceros-cut rectangular plate in his hand with great interest. As soon as the pair of rhinoceros-cut rhinoceros works came into his hands, he felt that they were unusual.  There is an old saying in the antique business, good things speak for themselves.  Fake things and inferior things can imitate the color and appearance, but they cannot imitate the charm.  And this pair of rhinoceros-cut works is full of charm, and imitations can never be like this. It is indeed as Chu Chen said, it is something that opens the door to the world.  Seeing that he was so happy, Chu Chen also guessed that it was not only because the pair were good, but also because he was able to get a small win from Yu Guangjie.  Next, the auction went very fast, with twenty or thirty items appearing on the stage, some of which were real and some of which were fake.  Of course, Chu Chen basically had no access to these things, but he could tell from the photos that there were two pieces of porcelain that were both fakes, so he knew that there should be more than just these two pieces of fakes inside.    But regardless of whether it is true or false, because of the rules of the auction, everyone was photographed. However, Chu Chen also guessed that there should be more true than false. After all, the buyers at the scene are either rich or noble. If you make a mistake,  If the public is angry, then they will stop hanging around in the capital.
