    Chu Chen explained with a smile: "Because of time constraints, I didn't take a closer look at these two things, so I took a chance. Anyway, even if the quality is not high, I will only lose tens of thousands of yuan at most."  Wu Ke rolled his eyes at him and said: "You said it easily. My dad often told me when I was a child that you must carefully identify when buying antiques. Don't do this again in the future!" Chu Chen chuckled and said: "This  Isn't it a special situation? " Wu Ke just reminded him that she knew the situation just now, and didn't say anything else. Then she said, "By the way, I will return the money to you after we return to Beijing!  No need to pay it back!" Chu Chen said with a smile.  Wu Ke refused directly: "No, this sachet is useful to me. I must buy it with my own money!" Although her current money was given to her by Chu Chen in the name of the diamond necklace, this sachet  The bag was a gift she planned to give to Chu Chen, so Chu Chen might not have to spend money to buy it!  "What's the use?" Chu Chen asked curiously.  Wu Ke chuckled and said, "I'll tell you then!" On the other side, Zhao Tian Changjie saw Chu Chen raising the sachet in his hand to him, and felt a little strange in his heart. Could it be that Chu Chen had something in his head?  Question, why are you so happy after losing money?  However, after he thought about it, he realized that it shouldn't be the case, and he quickly asked Mr. Yang next to him: "Yang Sheng, is that sachet really only worth that much?" "This" Mr. Yang pondered for a while,  Then he said: "Based on the material and craftsmanship of the sachet, it should be worth that little money, but you also know. I was a little short on time just now, and I can't cover everything with so many things. So the quality of the pendant of the sachet is of great concern to me."  I¡¯m not sure. If the quality of those two things is top-notch, then the price is not much loss.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Hearing what Mr. Yang said, Zhaotian Changjie felt extremely depressed.  Judging from his behavior, it is very likely that the real situation is as Mr. Yang said. This also means that his actions just now did not have any impact on Chu Chen at all, which made him feel really uncomfortable.  "Eight hundred thousand!" At this moment, Shoda Shojie suddenly heard Chu Chen's quotation again, which cheered him up.  Secretly, Chu Chen will definitely not let Chu Chen succeed easily this time!  He looked up and found that what was being auctioned was a white jade ornament.  The ornament is made of white jade round carvings of a jade phoenix, with a plump body and eight young chicks on its back. Some are spreading their wings, some are probing their heads, some are hiding in their feathers, some are jumping and playing.  The jade phoenix folds its wings slightly.  She protects her young children and looks back to visit them, just like a loving mother.  The carving of this vessel is simple but shows its charm.  It has a strong sense of sculpture, and there is blood in parts of the jade, making the overall shape more layered.  "Yang Sheng. I wonder what the value of this thing is?" Mr. Yang thought about it and gained the experience just now.  He felt that it was better not to tell the definite value, so he said with some embarrassment: "President Zhaotian. I'm really sorry, I didn't have time to observe this jade carving, so I really don't know its authenticity and value."  Tian Changjie frowned and asked, "Can you estimate its value?" Mr. Yang pondered for a moment, and then said, "This ornament looks like a carving from the early Ming Dynasty. If it is genuine,  , the value should be between one hundred and one and a half million. Of course, the specific value needs to be carefully observed before you know it." Shoda Changjie nodded and saw that Chu Chen had already bid one hundred and twenty thousand.  One hundred thousand, he quickly raised his placard: "One million and two hundred and fifty thousand!" Seeing Shotian Changjie's bid, Chu Chen secretly laughed in his heart, then raised his placard and said: "One hundred and three hundred thousand!" "One hundred  Four hundred thousand!" Akita Tsunejie quickly followed up and increased the price.  "One and a half million!" Chu Chen raised his card again with a gloomy face.  "One hundred and sixty thousand!" Old God Changjie Zhaotian added another hundred thousand, and then gave Chu Chen a provocative look.  ¡°But what Shoda Tsunejie didn¡¯t expect was that Chu Chen gave him a weird smile, and then drank tea leisurely. This made him feel as if a heavy punch had hit cotton, and he felt so uncomfortable that he wanted to vomit blood.  Seeing this, Liu Sizhe asked a little strangely: "Brother Chen, even if you include the commission, the price is not expensive now, right?" "Of course it's true!" Chu Chen said with a smile.  "You mean, this is a fake?" Everyone was a little surprised by what Chu Chen said.  Chu Chen chuckled: "Yeah, if I read it correctly, that piece of jade should be a "dog jade". Because it was processed later, the traces of forgery are not obvious, but as long as you look carefully?Looking at a few details, you can find the unnaturalness.  " "Then" As soon as he started, Wu Ke suddenly said: "You made the bid because you planned to trick that little man, right?  " "He wants to trick us, of course we can trick him too!  "Chu Chen said with a smile. "That's right, if it weren't for him, we wouldn't have to spend so much money on scriptures and oracle bones.  "Wu Ke said angrily: "It's better to trick him like a trousers!  " Everyone laughed, and Liu Sizhe said with a smile: "I don't know how he would feel when he found out that the jade carving was a fake!  " With Shouda Shosuke's eyesight, if it is a relatively poor imitation or he can still distinguish it, of course he will not be able to tell such a realistic high imitation. At this time, although he felt very uncomfortable in his heart, but in  When Mr. Yang said that the transaction price was not expensive judging from the quality of the jade carving, he became happy again and thought, even if he did not achieve his goal, next month happens to be his mother-in-law's birthday, and this jade carving is just a good gift.  This gift should make her happy. Next, two more items were auctioned on site, followed by the third item provided by Mu Tianguang, which is also a porcelain item. "This item is a Ming Hongwu blue and white plum vase with cloud and dragon patterns.  Height 43.6 cm, foot diameter 12.6 cm.  The mouth of this bottle is short, the shoulders and abdomen are round, the lower abdomen is long and thin, and the bottom is flat.  The body is hard, the glaze color is crystal clear, and the green material is green and rich.  The theme pattern on the belly of the vessel is a blue and white five-clawed cloud dragon pattern. The dragon's claws are extended, and the dragon holds a fireball in its mouth, with its head held high and galloping among the sea of ??clouds.  The picture layout is reasonable and the images are natural and vivid.  In addition, flint red is visible at the bottom.  ¡± The auctioneer introduced: ¡°Everyone should know that there were originally few porcelains in the Ming and Hongwu dynasties, and most of them used the ¡°underglaze red¡± technique. Blue and white porcelain is rare, and fine blue and white porcelain is even rarer. Because of its rarity, so  The market value of Hongwu blue and white porcelain has great potential.  " "This plum vase is a fine piece of Hongwu blue and white porcelain. It can be said to be quite rare. I believe that if you buy it home and keep it for a few years, it will definitely bring you unexpected benefits.  In addition, this bottle also has an expert certificate, which guarantees that it is authentic.  " " Now, the 30th lot, a Ming Hongwu blue and white plum vase with cloud and dragon patterns, has a starting price of HKD 2 million. Each increase in price shall not be less than HKD 100,000. Please bid!  "    "three million!  " "Three and a half million!  "    "four million!  " Just as the prices on the scene were rising steadily, Chu Chen frowned and lowered his head in thought for a moment, then stared at the plum vase for a while, and then said to Zhao Qirui, who was sitting next to him: "Uncle, one day.  Can you lend me some money? I want to take pictures of this collection.  " Zhao Qirui had been paying attention to the scene just now and did not see Chu Chen's strange expression. He casually agreed: "Okay, you can just take the photo!  "Thank you, uncle" Chu Chen did not bid immediately. When the quotation reached 7.6 million and there were very few people competing, he raised the auction sign in his hand: "7.7 million!"  " Seeing Chu Chen's quotation, Shoda Shojie on the opposite side couldn't help but frowned. He tried to trick Chu Chen twice but failed, letting him know that although Chu Chen is young, he is not easy to deal with. He doesn't know now  , Did Chu Chen follow the price after he quoted it, or did he really want to take a picture of this plum vase? Shoda Changjie glanced at Chu Chen and found that Chu Chen looked very calm. From Chu Chen's face.  There was no idea at all, which made Akita Tsuneji a little distressed. However, he immediately thought of an idea and decided to wait and see the competition between Chu Chen and the other two. "Eight million and two hundred thousand."  !  This gentleman bids 8.2 million. Are there any friends who are interested in this plum vase" "8.5 million!  " Before the auctioneer finished speaking, Shouda Akita quickly raised his sign. "Nine million!  "Chu Chen leisurely raised the card in his hand. "Nine and a half million!  Shouda Shosuke said not to be outdone. "Ten million!"  "Chu Chen glanced at Zhaotian Changjie provocatively. "Achen, don't act out of emotion!  "Although Zhao Qirui knew that Chu Chen should have his own considerations, he still reminded him in a low voice. Just when others thought that Chu Chen and Shoda Shojie were about to get into a fierce fight again, Shoda Shojie smiled and spread his hands.  He said he would not follow, and then gave Chu Chen a joking look. He had already learned from Mr. Yang that the market price of this plum vase should only be worth 7.5 million, taking into account the appraisal certificate.  The factor was only 8 million. Now Chu Chen paid 10 million for the photo, plus a commission of 700,000. He had already lost 2.7 million, which could be regarded as relieving his hatred.  Yi ZhaotianChang Jie's thought was that it would be best to let Chu Chen suffer more losses, but he was really afraid that Chu Chen would just give up as he did just now.  After completing the transaction, Chu Chen looked at the plum vase carefully and laughed.  Seeing this, Wu Ke complained: "Really, eight million things cost more than ten million, and you can still laugh like this?" Chu Chen smiled triumphantly: "If it is Hongwu's blue and white  Mei Ping, of course I lost too much at this price, but how could I do such a stupid thing with such a smart mind? I don¡¯t have much money to spend!¡± ¡°What!¡± Liu Sizhe looked surprised when he heard this.  He said: "Brother Chen, you mean that this plum vase is not from the Hongwu period?" (To be continued)
