    After making an appointment with Ning Shizhen to trade tomorrow, Chu Chen picked up other items and looked at them.  The remaining items include bronze mirrors, jade plaques, snuff bottles, gilt bronze Buddha statues, etc. Although Chu Chen is quite fond of some of them, except for what Ning Shizhen said he wanted to exchange for items,  In addition to the items, several other items were chosen by others.  Now that Chu Chen has got the Xuande blue and white flower bowl and Kowloon walnuts, he is too embarrassed to eat alone anymore, so he can only give them to others with a little regret.  It opens today. Although Ning Shizhen's small business has not been done, it has done a lot of big business. If you include the pair of Kowloon walnuts that Chu Chen bartered for, the total amount has exceeded two million, which can be regarded as the opening of the business.  Good luck.  Seeing that it was already noon, Ning Shizhen treated everyone to a meal, and then everyone went their separate ways.   After the meal, Zhu Dafu invited Chu Chen and Wang Xiangong to sit at his place for a while. Since it was nothing important, the two readily agreed.  While chatting and laughing, Zhu Dafu asked strangely: "Xiao Chen, I remember that you like to buy high-quality products now, right? Why do you want that blue and white bowl in such bad condition? And the condition determines the market value, so then  The value of the bowl won't increase much in the future, right?" Wang Xiangong was also curious about this. From the last auction, he knew that Chu Chen was not short of money and would not buy such things for collection. If he wanted to sell them,  It wouldn't be much higher than the price I paid for it just now. The bowl just now was like a tasteless piece of food that was a pity to throw away. Is it possible that Chu Chen can bring this thing back to life?  ¡°But what Wang Xiangong didn¡¯t expect was that he actually guessed it right.  Chu Chen chuckled and said: "Uncle Fu, Mr. Wang. You seem to have forgotten that there are already advanced technologies such as ultrasound and microwave vibration. When I go back, I just need to spend some money to clean up the dirt in the borneol patterns. Then  Seal the mouth with ice slices and send this bowl to the auction. It should be worth 100,000 yuan." Zhu Dafu and Wang Xiangong looked stunned after hearing Chu Chen's explanation. After a while, they finally stopped.  After coming back to their senses, they all shook their heads and smiled bitterly.  Zhu Dafu sighed and said: "Xiao Chen, when you say that, I feel like I can't keep up with the times, and it seems I'm going to retire!" Chu Chen quickly waved his hand and said, "Uncle Fu. That's what you said.  , We rely on experience in this antique business, and old people like you and Mr. Wang are the treasures! This time I was just a little clever. " "Sometimes a little cleverness is not a big wisdom!" Wang Xiangong laughed.  road.  Zhu Dafu smiled, saying that the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. The older generation will one day pass the baton in their hands to the next generation, and Chu Chen, just like his nephew, can now perform better than others, and he himself  Why be so emotional!  The three of them walked to the door of an antique store, only to find that many people were watching at the door of the store, and there were voices of quarrels coming from inside.  This made the three of them a little curious, and they all wondered whether something like Niu Dabao would happen again.  Among the onlookers, there happened to be someone Zhu Dafu knew, so he quickly inquired.  After the man's brief explanation, the three of them understood what was going on.  It turns out that the young man who was arguing in the store likes to collect.  The day before yesterday, he heard from a friend.  There was a good collection in this store, and the young man listened to the introduction from a friend.  He was very interested in this collection. It happened that one of his friends was an expert in appraising antiques, so the young man brought his expert friend to this antique shop.  When the young man saw this collection, he felt that it was exactly what he had been dreaming about, but it felt a little strange. However, his friend insisted that this collection was a fine piece imitating the one in Ru kiln.  It was worth 300,000 yuan, but now it only cost 180,000 yuan. It was a great deal. If the young man didn¡¯t want it, he would buy it.  Seeing his friend say this, the young man made up his mind to buy this collection.  People are like this sometimes. Once they have doubts, they will never forget it. When the things were brought home, the more the young man looked at them, the more he felt that something was wrong, so he asked others to look at them. In the end, no one said that the things were real, so the young man thought that something was wrong.  Came here to return it.  What the young man didn¡¯t expect was that the shop owner said that the friend who brought the young man had stored the collection in the store for sale, and he could only find the owner of the collection to resolve the matter.  At this time, the young man realized that the collection belonged to his connoisseur friend, and the appraiser he found when buying it was also his friend. It would be strange not to be deceived.  When the young man realized it, it was impossible to find his friend, so he was unwilling to go to the store again to settle the account. His reason was also very simple. If it weren't for the fact that he felt that he could run away, the monk would not be able to escape from the temple.  He won't come here to buy anything.  However, the store owner disagreed. He said that he was also a victim and that the scammer was an acquaintance of him.For this reason, he would agree to the other party putting things here for sale. Now that this happened, it actually had an impact on his reputation. He didn't know where to go to complain, how could the loss be imposed on him?  .  The young man felt that there must be collusion between the store owner and the scammer. Otherwise, why was the card drawn here when checking out? The store owner still said innocently that this was also for the convenience of his friend.  Just like that, the two of them started arguing back and forth.  After learning the whole story, the three of them all shook their heads. There are really many "landmines" in the antique business, and the methods are all kinds of weird. If you are not careful, you may fall into the trap, which is quite difficult to guard against.  "But this antique is eye-catching. I haven't heard that it can be returned. Is it possible that this young man has signed a contract with the store?" Chu Chen asked curiously.  The person who explained just now laughed and said: "If the store really colluded with the scammer, how could the store sign the contract? If the store was also kept in the dark, the scammer would not let the store sign the contract." I heard that there was no contract signed.  Everyone knows that the young man will definitely not be able to get the money back in the end, and if there is no contract, the young man will not win even if he goes to court.  The reality reflected everyone's speculation. After a while, the young man walked out of the antique shop angrily but sadly. After taking a few steps, perhaps unable to hold back the anger in his heart, he took out the collection he bought.  Just get ready to hit the ground directly.  "Wait!" Before the young man could exert any force, he heard a shout from behind.  The young man stopped what he was doing and looked back, only to see a young man walking quickly towards him.  Chu Chen said: "Sir, it's a pity that you smashed this thing. I wonder if you can give it to me?" At first, the young man thought Chu Chen was joking, but Chu Chen's knowing expression told him that the other party was indeed  Wanting to buy the counterfeit in his hand, this made him strange, and he quickly asked with some hope: "Little brother, I wonder how much money you are prepared to pay?" "One thousand!" Chu Chen pulled out his index finger and said.  The price given by Chu Chen immediately dashed the young man¡¯s hopes, but if you think about it, how could something that many experts thought was a fake come back to life?  The young man took a deep breath and said: "I have lost 180,000 yuan, and I don't need this thousand yuan. If you really want it, I will give you ten thousand yuan!" "Haha, you should keep it for yourself.  Come on!" Chu Chen smiled and shook his head without saying anything, and turned around to walk back.  The young man was a little confused when he saw Chu Chen's reaction. Normally, the deal should be done after some haggling. Is it possible that the other party really wanted to pay for it because he felt it was a pity that it was a waste?  One thousand yuan is money. The young man didn't want to see the cooked duck suddenly fly away, so he quickly said loudly: "Five thousand, do you want five thousand?" However, Chu Chen remained unmoved and walked straight towards Zhu Dafu.  go.  "Two thousand, if you still think it's expensive, forget it!" the young man shouted loudly.  Chu Chen paused after hearing this, and after a while, he turned around and walked back to the young man, took out two thousand yuan and gave it to him: "If I didn't think your three-legged washing machine is quite pleasing to my eyes, I wouldn't do it."  It¡¯s such a waste of money!¡± The young man didn¡¯t say anything, he handed over the money and then walked away quickly, as if he was afraid that Chu Chen would regret it.  However, Chu Chen would not regret it. On the contrary, he was afraid that the young man would regret it!  Holding the three-legged wash that he just bought, Chu Chen walked back to Zhu Dafu and the others.  "Xiao Chu, why did you think of buying a fake? There must be something in it, right?" Wang Xiangong asked impatiently.  Chu Chen said with an honest expression: "What can I say? I really just thought this tripod was pleasing to the eye, and it would be a pity to smash it, so I bought it." Hearing what Chu Chen said, Wang Xiangong immediately  With a weird expression on his face, Zhu Dafu next to him said with a smile: "Okay, let's talk about this when we get to my place!" Chu Chen said with a smile: "You go first, I'm going to get some honey locust berries now.  " After saying that, he turned back and walked to a place. He remembered that there was a saponaria tree not far from here.  Seeing Chu Chen's behavior, Wang Xiangong muttered firmly: "There must be something weird about that three-legged bath!" "Okay, let's go first, Xiao Chen will reveal the secret to us in a while.  "After saying that, Zhu Dafu took the lead and walked towards his shop.  After Zhu Dafu and the others left for a while, the store owner smiled bitterly at the door and said, "I'm so embarrassed this time. I think I've been running the business for so many years.?When something like this happens, even if you jump into the Yellow River, you won't be able to wash it away.  " "Speaking of Lao Zhang, I remember that you never bring anything to sell to others, right?  "    "Why!  This time I was soft-hearted. My friend who I had been dating for four or five years was begging for help, and I was too embarrassed to refuse. Besides, only Xiao Tang was in the store that day, and he didn¡¯t look at anything. The next day, he brought the young man with him.  .  Why!  It can be considered as gaining one¡¯s wisdom after a hard time!  "(To be continued)
