When the old man heard what Lao Wu said, he basically believed it. He nodded, carefully took out a small gray cloth bag from his pocket, and said: "Okay, I still say the same thing, these two pieces of jade are ten Ten thousand yuan, I won¡¯t sell it for even a penny less.¡± ¡°Uncle, you see this place is being renovated and it¡¯s not convenient. Let¡¯s go upstairs and sit down first!¡± Chu Chen turned to Zhou Wenping and said: ¡°Zhou Wenping. Brother, please take this gentleman upstairs to have some tea first." "No need to bother, just stay here!" The old man shook his head. Chu Chen smiled and said: "Uncle, we are talking about business after all, and it takes a certain amount of time to confirm antiques, but don't worry, it doesn't take too long, just half an hour." The old man thought for a while before agreeing. : "Okay!" When Zhou Wenping led the old man upstairs, Chu Chen asked Lao Wu: "Fifth brother, who was that just now?" Lao Wu explained: "That's the thing, this My name is Sun Dayou. He used to be a technical backbone in a state-owned enterprise. He just retired this year. This morning I heard from my friend that his granddaughter has leukemia and the family is still short of about 100,000 yuan. He said that he wanted to sell the family's ancestral jade. In the morning, I went to his house next door and asked, and it was indeed the case. I came to check it out and found that the things looked good, so I took him to the store and found out that this was the case. , Chu Chen nodded and said: "Okay, let's go upstairs!" The two came to the VIP room above. At this time, Zhou Wenping had already helped Sun Dayou make a cup of tea, and Sun Dayou took out his After the two pieces of jade were mentioned, he kept looking out, probably wanting to complete the transaction quickly. Chu Chen sat down and said to Sun Dayou with a smile: "Mr. Sun, please have some tea first, and I'll take a look at these two pieces of jade." "Okay, take a look!" After that, Sun Dayou Made a gesture of invitation. The two pieces of jade owned by Sun Dayou are a jade bi and a jade huang. The first thing Chu Chen picked up was the piece of jade. Speaking of jade bi, we must not mention jade yuan and jade ring. In real life, many people confuse these three things. In fact, as long as the meanings are clear, it is easy to distinguish them. "Erya Shiqi" pointed out: "If the meat is twice as good, it is called Bi, and if the meat is twice as good, it is called Yuan. If the meat is as good as one, it is called a ring." Guo Pu noted: "Meat, edge; good, hole." Xing Yu Shu: "Meat, edge, good, hole. The one whose side is as big as the hole is called Bi, the one whose hole is big but the side is small is named Yuan, and the one whose side and hole are equal to one is called ring." Here are the shapes of three kinds of utensils. It is very clear that "meat" refers to the surrounding sides, and "good" refers to the hole in the middle. That is to say, the names of the three are determined by the size of the round hole in the center. The one with the big hole is Yuan. The one with a small hole is a jade, and the one with the same diameter as the edge of the jade part is a ring. The jade in Chu Chen¡¯s hand should be carved from Hetian white jade. Both sides are embossed in the same style, with a rope pattern circle on the inside and a curling cloud pattern on the inside, and a double-body Kui dragon pattern on the outside. The jade surface is smooth and moist, and it is covered with oxidized white spots and chicken blood red Qin. After Chu Chen picked up the magnifying glass and observed the jade carefully, he had an idea in his mind, and then put the jade back. He picked up the jade Huang next to him. Jade Huang is a kind of curved jade. It is generally considered as "half jade". In fact, most jade is only one-third of the jade, some are even only one-quarter, and only a few are close to one-half. And the piece of jade in front of me is not even half a jade, it is less than one-third. This piece of jade is also carved from fine white jade, and the jade is of moist quality. The whole body is scattered with yellow-brown Qin, with fish and dragon heads carved open at both ends, double phoenix patterns carved open under the dragon's belly, and valley patterns carved in embossed patterns. This Huang is of beautiful shape. The pattern is vivid and gorgeous, and the decoration is mostly expressed by incised lines. It should be a jade huang from the Warring States period. In terms of shape, it is probably not available to ordinary nobles. It can be said to be a fine piece of jade from the Warring States period. Seeing Chu Chen put the jade Huang back in its place, Sun Dayou quickly asked with a somewhat uneasy look: "Brother, do you want these two pieces of jade for 100,000 yuan?" Chu Chen said with a smile: "Yes, let's sign an agreement now, is that okay?" Sun Dayou was slightly startled when he heard this. He originally thought that the two sides were going to argue for a while, but he didn't expect Chu Chen to agree so readily, which made him feel a little bit confused. Unexpected, he reacted quickly and said repeatedly: "Sign! Sign! Sign now!" After signing the agreement, just as Chu Chen was about to take Sun Dayou to transfer the money, Sun Dayou asked: "Xiao Brother, I would like to take the liberty of asking, are these two pieces of jade from the Warring States Period?" Chu Chen shook his head and said, "Only the jade piece is, and the other piece is antique jade." "Ah. ! Then why would you buy them? It¡¯s not because you pity my old man.??? Sun Dayou asked in surprise when he heard this. Hearing what he said, Chu Chen felt very strange and asked, "Why do you think so?" " Sun Dayou said with some confusion: "My nephew told me this. He is in the antique business. After he came to see these two pieces of jade yesterday, he told me that one is real and the other is just an imitation. Yes, he wants me to sell it to him for 80,000 yuan. " "But it's not like he doesn't know about my two pieces of jade. They were given to me when my father passed away. How could they be imitations? So I said I would consider it, but I didn¡¯t agree to it at that time. He originally said that he would come over tonight to discuss the price of these two pieces of jade. " Hearing what Sun Dayou said, Zhou Wenping and Lao Wu couldn't help but look at each other. Chu Chen was speechless and asked with some confusion: "Old Sun, I would like to ask, why do you think these two pieces of jade are worth one hundred thousand? Yuan? " "A friend of mine has a piece of jade from the Warring States Period. It looks shabby, but he sold it for 30,000 yuan. My two pieces of jade are much better than that one. One hundred thousand yuan should be quite appropriate! " Speaking of this, Sun Dayou asked a little strangely: "Is there anything wrong with this? " There is nothing wrong with Sun Dayou thinking so. After all, it is impossible for ordinary people to understand the market conditions at any time, and the Internet is not developed these days. Ordinary people do not have any special channels to understand the market conditions. Therefore, under normal circumstances, they will only He set the price according to his own ideas. But Sun Dayou's nephew was really unscrupulous. He knew that Sun Dayou's family was in urgent need of money, but he still lowered the price. So Chu Chen explained to him: " Mr. Sun, your idea is completely wrong. In the antique industry, the final value of something is actually determined by its craftsmanship and rarity. Therefore, worn-out things are not necessarily 100% cheaper than complete ones, while complete ones are not necessarily 100% cheaper. The value cannot be calculated by adding, subtracting, multiplying or dividing based on the value of the damaged items. " "In addition, although this piece of jade is an antique jade, it is an antique jade from the Song Dynasty, and it is not as valuable as modern fakes of ancient jade. ¡± The Song Dynasty was the most popular era of antique jade in the history of our country. Due to the enthusiastic advocacy of the emperor and the heartfelt support of the ministers, imitating antiques became popular for a while, leaving behind many antique jade products. Generally speaking, there are three types of antique jade in the Song Dynasty Characteristics: First, the jade quality is mostly local jade, and Hotan jade materials are rarely used. This is because at that time, the Northern Song Dynasty and the Western Regions were separated by the Western Xia Dynasty, and Hotan jade materials were not easy to obtain, so they were extremely expensive and were not suitable for a large number of antique jade carvings. Affordable. During the Southern Song Dynasty, people were huddled in the southeast, and it was even harder to get good materials. Therefore, most of the antique jade in the Song Dynasty were made of poor materials. The second point is that the shape lacked the style of the Han Dynasty. , because there are very few actual ancient jade in the Song Dynasty, and they are usually carved based on the fragments of words in ancient books, so the imitation of antique Song jade gives people a feeling that it is not as good as the ancient jade. Natural, smooth, and slightly stagnant. Chu Chen continued: "But your antique jade from the Song Dynasty is not only made of Hetian white jade, but the carving is also very delicate and natural. In addition, although this chicken blood Qin is a forgery, , but it is Laoti oil using rainbow grass as raw material. The color of the oil is simple and elegant, which can be regarded as valuable. " "In general, this jade should be said to be a rare piece of fine antique jade from the Song Dynasty. As for your two pieces of jade, I bought them for 100,000 yuan. They are definitely worth it. In the words of our industry, they are just picked up and missed. " After listening to Chu Chen's explanation, Sun Dayou opened his mouth. He really didn't know what to say. Although he did regret selling things cheaply, after all, he set the price himself and he couldn't blame others. Besides, others also He kindly explained it to you, but he couldn't do anything like that. However, he was still very angry at this time, and the object of his anger was his nephew, not to mention not lending money to his family. Well, he clearly knew the value of the thing, so he didn¡¯t give it more, but he still lowered the price. If it was a friend, it would be fine. What made him most angry was that the other person was actually his nephew. It was really not a thing! At this time, Chu! Chen said: "Mr. Sun, let's transfer the money now! " Sun Dayou said quickly: "Okay! " When he arrived at the bank, Chu Chen directly transferred 150,000 yuan to Sun Dayou, which surprised Sun Dayou. Chu Chen smiled and explained: "Mr. Sun, this 50,000 yuan is just a token of my appreciation, and To be honest, I just borrowed flowers to offer to Buddha. " Having said that, he wrote another phone number to Sun Dayou and said: "This is the number of Director Miao of the Military Hospital. If you want to transfer there, you can call his number and report my name when you arrive. That's it. "In fact, to be honest, the value of that jade Huang alone is more than one million. It's not like Chu Chen can't give more, but the right way is to fight for favors and enemies, and some things can only be done just right. Otherwise, others will not appreciate you. Sun Dayou was so moved that he didn't know what to say. After a while, he bowed to Chu Chen and said, "I will never thank you for your kindness. I, Sun Dayou, will definitely remember your kindness. ¡¡±
