    Seeing this, Lu Changshun quickly said to Chu Chen beside him: "Xiao Chu, can you help me take a look at it later? There are so many people, I really can't see them all this afternoon!" "Okay, no problem!  " Among the things that came to be appraised today, porcelain is the most common. Therefore, in addition to Chu Chen, Guan Guokang and another expert are also responsible. In addition, Yu Renpeng also knows porcelain. Even if Chu Chen helps Lu Changshun  As he was busy, he was also busy with porcelain, so Chu Chen agreed to Lu Changshun's request without much thought.  Seeing that Chu Chen agreed, Lu Changshun quickly expressed his gratitude, and then immediately discussed with the staff and asked them to help with the diversion.  As Chu Chen said before, there are always more fakes than genuine ones in the antique industry. The same goes for this treasure appraisal activity. Basically, only three or four of the ten antiques that need to be identified are genuine, and among the genuine ones, there are  They are all ordinary goods, and high-quality products and treasures are very rare.  Of course, being rare does not mean that it is not impossible. Just like the cricket jar in Chu Chen¡¯s hands, it is a rare masterpiece.  The cricket jar, as the name suggests, is a jar specially used for raising and fighting crickets.  The products made during the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty are in the form of a drum, with a concave lid and a money-shaped air hole on the top. A six-character single-line blue and white inscription is written vertically on the lid, and a six-character double-circle annual inscription is written on the bottom.  During the Wanli period, the utensils came in round, square, plum blossom, melon-edge, fan-shaped, and octagonal shapes, and were still fired in the Qing Dynasty.  The cricket jar in front of me is a product of the official kiln during the Xuande period. There is a cluster of melon patterns on the belly of the jar, with two large, two small, and four melons.  Covered by leaves and vines, it is full of fruits and full of vitality.  The melon pattern is an auspicious pattern commonly used in porcelain decoration in the Ming Dynasty. The large one is a melon and the small one is a melon.  It is said that the melons and melons are continuous, which means the prosperity of future generations.  The carcass of the utensil is thick and heavy.  The glaze layer is thick, white and bluish.  The blue and white are gorgeous and have obvious characteristics of Subo mud blue. In addition, flint red can be seen at the joints of the body glaze, which can be said to fully demonstrate the characteristics of Xuande wares.  Based on the market trend, Chu Chen gave a price of 600,000, which made the treasure holder almost cry with joy. The people in the audience were even more excited, and looked at the treasure holder with eyes full of envy.  Chu Chen can see quickly and accurately, and he can tell the truth whether it is true or false.  There were basically no people who questioned him like they did in the morning. Everyone who came to him for appraisal was convinced, and soon it was the turn of the treasure holder who was transferred from Lu Changshun.  "Teacher Chu, this is a jade bracelet I bought for 20,000 yuan when I traveled to Myanmar three years ago. I heard that the price of jade has started to increase this year. Could you please help me find out how much it is worth now?"  The first person to come to appraise the jade was a middle-aged woman who looked to be in her early forties. She took out the bracelet from the box in her hand while talking.  Passed it to Chu Chen.  Chu Chen took the bracelet in his hand, was stunned for a moment, looked at it for a moment, and then said: "Madam, your bracelet is not Burmese jadeite." "What, how is this possible? I have a certificate.  Do you know how to read this?" When the woman heard what Chu Chen said, she fell out on the spot.  Chu Chen secretly smiled bitterly and shook his head.  Is it possible that a storm like the one in the morning will happen again?  But the reality obviously did not develop as Chu Chen thought.  "Sister, don't worry. Since Teacher Chu said this, there must be a reason" "That's right! This certificate is also fake. You should first listen to what Teacher Chu says. If you think it's wrong, then say something else" "  " For a time, many people in the venue offered words of persuasion. Basically, everyone helped Chu Chen. Seeing this, Lu Changshun also smiled and gave Chu Chen a thumbs up.  When the middle-aged woman heard everyone talking for Chu Chen, her momentum immediately dropped, and she said expressionlessly: "Then tell me, why is my bracelet not a Burmese jadeite?" Chu Chen explained:  "First of all, the material of this bracelet is indeed jade." Everyone was a little confused when they heard what Chu Chen said. Why did they say it was not Burmese jade just now, and then they said it was jade at the scene? Isn't this a contradiction?  Chu Chen smiled: "You don't think that jadeite is only produced in Myanmar, right?" "You mean, my bracelet is made of jadeite produced in other places?" The middle-aged woman asked quickly.  "Yes! This is jade produced in Guatemala!" Chu Chen nodded.  The jadeite mine in Guatemala is the Metago jadeite deposit discovered in 1952 near the village of Manziel in the province of El Progreso. Its jadeite is mainly composed of jadeite, diopside, and hexagonite.  It is said that the jadeite of Guatemala was very famous in the Maya civilization many years ago. It was later lost with the mysterious disappearance of the Maya civilization. It was not until 1975 that an American couple Jay and Loudinger rediscovered and developed it in the country.  Talk about this lifeThere are many places with jade all over the world. Countries such as the United States and island countries have jade production. However, most of the jade mined in these countries are not of good quality. There are very few that are of really good quality. Therefore, Myanmar jade is not the only one.  There is a reason for being unique.  "Then how much is my bracelet worth?" the middle-aged woman asked again.  "I'm sorry, this bracelet isn't worth much!" Chu Chen shook his head.  "It's also jade, how can it be possible that my bracelet is not valuable?" the middle-aged woman asked in disbelief.  "Because the texture is too poor!" Chu Chen explained: "The bracelet you are using is Guatemala gray-green jadeite, which is similar in appearance to Myanmar oil-blue jadeite. Its chemical composition is basically the same as that of jadeite, but because of its internal elements,  It is different, so the color is darker and the texture is thicker, which is not as good as the oil-green jade from Myanmar. " "And because the infrared spectrum of Guatemala jade is different from that of Myanmar jade, formal institutions in China cannot issue a certificate.  "The middle-aged woman was stunned, and then asked reluctantly: "Is this bracelet of mine really worthless?" At this time, Lu Changshun took out a pendant and placed it next to the bracelet and said.  "Look at my pea green pendant, isn't it much better than your bracelet?" The middle-aged woman looked carefully and found that Lu Changshun's pendant indeed looked much better than her own bracelet.  Lu Changshun then said: "The market price of my pendant is only six hundred. How much do you think your bracelet is worth?" "Six hundred?" Upon hearing this price, the middle-aged woman was stunned.  Chu Chen said: "This pendant really only costs 600. If you don't believe it, you can go to any major jade jewelry store and ask. I think you have never come into contact with jade before, right?" The middle-aged woman came back to her senses and nodded.  : "Yes, I have never come into contact with it. The tour guide took us to buy this bracelet." When she mentioned the tour guide, she really hated it. Even now, she still doesn't understand. She must have been given by the tour guide.  It was a lie, but it had been so long, and it was already too late for her to settle accounts with the other party, which made her really want to cry.  Chu Chen shook his head secretly. Tour guides were constantly trying to defraud tourists, especially under the guise of bargains. Not only did they buy expensive ones, but some simply gave them fake ones. In addition to deceptive marketing, some stores even used  Use intimidation tactics, such as selling kitchen knives.  Chu Chen heard something from one of his customers before. He said that he once traveled to a certain place. Not long after visiting, the tour guide took them shopping and then took them to a store. The store owner said  These knives are military products and are of very high quality. Then the shop owner deliberately used the knife to slash at the iron pipe, which made many members of the group shudder and quickly bought the knife and left.  Chu Chen heard about several similar things. When surfing the Internet, he saw many disputes caused by shopping.  After seeing more, Chu Chen made up his mind that if he went on a trip, he would definitely not go with a group. He would be able to solve the problem. The key point was that such things were too rare and completely ruined the atmosphere of the trip.  However, Chu Chen couldn't help much with this kind of thing. He could only express sympathy for the middle-aged woman in front of him and said: "Madam, if you don't understand jade, I suggest you buy less in the future.  If you really want to buy it, it¡¯s better to go to some larger jewelry stores, such as Teacher Lu¡¯s jade shop, but you are a good person.¡± Lu Changshun smiled at Chu Chen and thanked him for helping with advertising.  "Teacher Chu, I was really offended just now. I will remember your words." The middle-aged woman bowed to Chu Chen and then left.  After the middle-aged woman left, Chu Chen looked at more than ten pieces of jade in a row. With his ability, it was impossible for him to see any of the jade pieces wrong. This also made Lu Changshun next to him look at him with admiration. At the same time, Lu Changshun felt that  There is also bitterness.  The young man in his early twenties was actually more experienced than him. Compared with Chu Chen, he felt that his age seemed to be living on a dog's body.  "This is the difference between geniuses and ordinary people!" Just as Chu Chen was appraising a jade ring, Director Xu walked up to Chu Chen with an old woman who looked to be sixty years old.  The old woman's hair has turned gray, her weather-beaten face is covered with wrinkles left by the years, and her clothes have been washed white. It's obvious at a glance that her family's economic conditions are very poor.  At this time, the old woman held a Maitreya statue and stood beside Director Xu without saying a word.  Director Xu said to everyone: "This is Aunt Li. She has endured hardships and stood hard work all her life. She raised a pair of children by herself and grew up. She got married and had children. But just when Aunt Li was about to enjoy the quiet lifeAt that time, last week, her grandson was diagnosed with leukemia" "How pitiful!  I'll donate a hundred!  " "I will also donate one hundred!  " "I donate' Before Director Xu could finish what he said, there was a lot of discussion at the scene, and many people expressed their intention to donate. Chu Chen estimated that in this moment, the amount of donations would be almost five or six thousand.  "Thank you! Thank you!" Seeing this, Aunt Li burst into tears and expressed her gratitude to everyone one by one.  (To be continued)
