When Zhao Qirui saw this piece of fortune, wealth and longevity, he was attracted by it and couldn't help but take it in his hand to play with and appreciate it. Taking advantage of this time, Chu Chen began to look at the general manager's office. Zhao Qirui's general manager's office is not luxuriously furnished, but it should have been designed by an expert. Customized bookshelves, clever placement of ancient cabinets, and a few bonsai embellishments make the whole room look stunning. It looks antique and charming. Working in this environment, I believe you will feel very comfortable. After a while, Zhao Qirui played with this precious piece of jade and said with a smile: "What a good piece of jade! Xiao Chu, how much does this piece of fortune, wealth and longevity cost? I want it!" Chu Chen paused. After a pause, he said: "Brother Zhao, as long as you like it, this piece of jade is worth 800,000 yuan. What do you think?" "800,000 yuan? Isn't it a bit small? Xiao Chu, don't fool me!" Zhao Qirui said calmly. Face said. Chu Chen waved his hand and said: "Brother Zhao, the price is just right. Don't worry. I'm not a living thunder peak, and my level is not that high. If you don't believe it, you can ask Xiaolan." Zhao Qirui smiled and said: "You kid, if I find that the price of something is wrong next time, I will definitely not ask you to bring something again. By the way, while you have some time, help me take a look at the garlic bottle I bought from Yu Guangjie." After seeing Chu Chen nod, Zhao Qirui stood up and took down a garlic bottle from the ancient cabinet on the side. The garlic bottle is one of the common types of bottles in Jingde Zhen kiln during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is imitated from the bronze garlic pot of the Han Dynasty. Its shape has a long neck, tapered shoulders, round belly, and round feet. The mouth of the bottle resembles a garlic, so it is named after it. Shaped like a garlic head with a slightly longer neck, it can also be called a tiger claw bottle. Chu Chen put on his gloves, picked up the garlic bottle in front of him, and looked at it carefully. The shape of this garlic bottle is like an elongated peach, but it is still a typical garlic bottle style, with a long neck, a garlic mouth, and three fruit patterns (peach, pomegranate, and persimmon) painted on the belly of the bottle, with corresponding patterns in the fruit patterns. flowers. The bottom of the bottle has a lotus petal pattern, the feet are turned outwards, and the upper feet are seawater patterns. The shoulders are decorated with six lotus petals and a back pattern, a flame pattern inside the lotus petals, a yang line protruding under the back pattern, and a back pattern on the garlic head. , under the pattern are Camellia sinensis. The bottom of the bottle has a six-character seal in blue and white "Made in the Qianlong Year of the Qing Dynasty" written in blue and white. The font is neat and powerful. Judging from the font and writing of the stamp, it is indeed the original version of this dynasty. Judging from the fetal bone of the bottle, it is white and dense, there is no flint red at the junction of the fetal glaze, and the fetal wall is slightly thicker than the Yongzheng blue and white. The green material is domestically produced, with a stable and bright color that looks pure blue, which is also a typical feature of the mid-Qianlong period. So to sum up, judging from all aspects of performance, this garlic vase is indeed an official kiln work from the Qianlong period, and the painting is exquisite, which can be said to be a rare masterpiece. However, Chu Chen looked around carefully and found something strange. After using his special ability to identify it, the value was greatly reduced, so he carefully placed the garlic bottle on the coffee table and said: "Brother Zhao, from now on Fetal bone, green material, inscription and other characteristics, this bottle is indeed a fine product of this dynasty, but there is a problem. This bottle is a restorer. Although the level of repair is very high, its value is definitely not It's comparable to a complete device." When Zhao Qirui heard this, his expression changed and he said, "What? How could it be a repair device?" "Brother Zhao, look!" Chu Chen pointed at the place under the blue and white parts of the bottle. Zhao Qirui observed the position carefully and couldn't help but talk about the dirty mouth. There was indeed a circle of small cracks there, which you couldn't even see if you didn't pay attention. Zhao Qirui clapped his hands fiercely and said angrily: "Yu Guangjie's grandson, since he is a restorer, he didn't even mark it in the catalog. I must go to him to settle the score next time." Generally speaking, before the auction, if If an auction object itself is defective, the auctioneer shall explain the defects of the auction object to the bidders. If the failure to explain the defects of the auction object causes damage to the buyer, the buyer has the right to demand compensation from the auctioneer. However, this There is another situation. Chu Chen asked: "Well, Brother Zhao, is it written in the catalog that the authenticity or quality of the auction objects cannot be guaranteed?" When Zhao Qirui heard this, his face turned red and white, and he went immediately He rummaged through a pile of magazines, and after a while he found a thick book of pictures. After flipping through it, he couldn't help but shake his head in frustration. Seeing this situation, Chu Chen also knew that it was unfortunate that he was right. Zhao Qirui smiled bitterly and said: "I suffered a hidden loss this time. Fortunately, Xiao Chu, you reminded me in time, otherwise I wouldn't get the money back and would be embarrassed." In this case, although Zhao Qirui's strength is better than that of Yu Guangjie's family Strong, but not strong enough yet??To the point of being unreasonable. And no matter how strong you are, when you deal with others, you must have a clear reason, otherwise others will not be able to convince you. As it is now, the catalog has already stated that the authenticity or quality of the auction objects cannot be guaranteed. Zhao Qirui cannot rely on the fact that the catalog does not indicate that it is a restorer to go to Yu Guangjie to settle the score. He can only count himself. vision problems. Otherwise, even if he goes to court, he will not be able to support Zhao Qirui. Therefore, for auctions like this, which have been marked in the auction catalog and exclude the responsibility of the auction company, you must go to the exhibition before the auction and read it carefully. If you don¡¯t understand it, it is best to hire an experienced master. . And the information in auction catalogs like this must be treated with caution, because maybe the things on it are fakes. After all, there are many buyers who do not have such discerning ability. They easily believe the false information in the catalog and buy valuable fakes. When they find out the truth afterwards, they can only regret it. A repair device completely ruined Zhao Qirui's good mood, and the atmosphere in the office seemed very boring. Fortunately, Liu Qinshu arrived after a while with relevant personnel from their company, which relaxed the atmosphere. "What's wrong with you two? Are you having a conflict?" Seeing this situation, Liu Qinshu asked strangely. Zhao Qirui smiled bitterly and said: "No, I just bought a garlic bottle at the auction before and suffered a loss." Liu Qinshu saw the garlic bottle on the coffee table and guessed that this was the one he was talking about, so he took a closer look after getting it. After looking at it for a while, he put it down and said strangely: "Isn't this garlic bottle very good? Are the fakes made so similar?" "It's not a fake, this thing is indeed a work of this dynasty. , but it is a repair device. I photographed it as a complete device. Do you think I am a coward or not?" Liu Qinshu also saw the gap under Chu Chen's guidance, shook his head and said: "This matter, you Don¡¯t you want to go to the auction company? With your strength, you can do this, right?¡± Zhao Qirui said helplessly: ¡°The key is that the responsibility has been cleared in the catalog, how do you ask me to find it? He is troublesome, and I, Zhao Qirui, still have to face it." Liu Qinshu said speechlessly: "Who can be blamed for this? I can only blame you for your poor eyesight and lack of vigilance, but don't worry about it. It's useless to worry about it. Let's go first. Let¡¯s sign the contract.¡± After all, Zhao Qirui had experienced too many setbacks, so he immediately changed his mind and said, ¡°Haha, let¡¯s go to the conference room together.¡± In fact, the contract has been drafted, and Chu Chen only needs to confirm it. It can be signed. Chu Chen¡¯s relevant obligations as a shareholder have not been reduced. It also states that no matter how capital is injected in the future, Chu Chen¡¯s shares will always remain at 25%. This should be said for Chu Chen. It's a special treatment. Originally, Chu Chen didn¡¯t want to accept this. He originally wanted to turn the formula into a fixed amount, but Zhao Qirui and Liu Qinshu finally moved out of Mr. Liu, so he had no choice but to agree. After signing, Chu Chen couldn't help but feel dazed. This time, Zhao Qirui and the others had invested 500 million in advance. With his current 25% share, he was now a billionaire. This made him feel It's really complicated. Next, Zhao Qirui and Liu Qinshu had other things to deal with, so Chu Chen prepared to go with A Chao to pick up Zhou Wenping to look at the house. In addition, he also had to give A Chao the relevant information about relocating his household registration. Before leaving, Zhao Qirui gave a newly made Jingshen candle to Chu Chen and asked him to go back and try the effect. This Jingshen Candle is much more fragrant than the original one, which makes Chu Chen look forward to its effect. The house Achao helped Zhou Wenping choose is located in a mid-to-high-end community in the center of Xicheng. It has three bedrooms and one living room, more than 130 square meters, and a small room that can be used as a study or warehouse. In addition, there are Comes with a garage. Zhou Wenping was quite satisfied with the location and style of the house. However, he guessed that a house like this would be expensive, which made him a little worried. Zhou Wenping asked hesitantly: "Achao, I am satisfied with this house, but what about the price?" Achao smiled and said: "I have already agreed on the price for you, 420,000, what do you think? "Four hundred and twenty thousand? A house like this only costs four hundred and twenty thousand? Ah Chao, are you right?" Zhou Wenping couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the price. Chu Chen was a little surprised when he heard the price. You must know that this community is located in the center of Xicheng, and it is also a mid-to-high-end community. Even if it has some relevance, it would be good if it can be obtained for four thousand, so one hundred and threeMore than ten square meters, it costs at least 520,000, not including the garage. And don¡¯t forget, this house is still a well-decorated house. Chu Chen took a look and found that the materials used were all real. At this price, the decoration was like picking it up for free. How could they not surprise the two of them? . Ah Chao smiled and said: "Don't worry, the developer of this community is Mr. Zhao's friend. Even at this price, he can still make a profit."
