    In fact, Chu Chen also wanted to say that he could take over the painting for 500,000 yuan, but Xie Gong didn't believe his judgment yet. If he really said that, it would inevitably make Xie Gong wonder whether he said that on purpose before.  , in fact, I wanted to buy Wen Zhengming¡¯s original work at a low price.  Hearing Chu Chen give the price, Xie Gong breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself, the money should be able to support the child's treatment!  There was silence in the carriage for a while, and Chu Chen said, "Mr. Xie, I want to discuss something with you." "What is it?" Xie Gong was stunned when he heard this, and then asked.  Chu Chen said with a smile: "I just saw those lacquer carving works in your house. Your craftsmanship is very good!" When he mentioned the lacquer carving, he felt better and said with a slight smile: "Haha, this craft is  It was passed down to me by my father. At that time, my father was also one of the top lacquer carving masters in the capital (apocryphal). However, I didn't live up to my expectations. I can't catch up with my father now, let alone be better than his master." Chu Chen said with a smile: "Mr. Xie, you are too good.  I'm being modest. Although I didn't appreciate your work carefully just now, I can see that your craftsmanship is not much inferior to that of a lacquer carving master. Maybe you can become a lacquer carving master next time." "Where?  ! "Where!" Xie Gong waved his hands humbly, and then asked: "Boss Chu, what do you want to discuss with me? If you want me to make some lacquerware for you, it's just a matter of words." Chu Chen said:  "What I'm talking about is really related to this matter, but I don't want you to help make a few pieces of lacquerware, but I want you to come out again." "What?" Xie Gong heard what Chu Chen said.  The expression was very surprised.  "Mr.  The craftsmanship is likely to be lost in the near future" "There are two types of Beijing carved lacquer: metal tires and non-metal tires. The paint is applied layer by layer, one layer is applied, and another layer is applied after it dries. Two layers are applied a day.  The minimum number of coatings is dozens of layers, and the maximum number is three to five hundred layers.  Then, a knife is used as a substitute for writing, and relief patterns such as landscapes, flowers, and figures are carved according to the design drawings.  The paint used is mainly vermilion, with yellow, green, black, etc. as the base color. The process is very complicated and requires more than a dozen processes such as tire making, blue burning, base making, painting, carving, and polishing. Each process requires unique skills.  The requirements are very high.  For example, for a 30cm high carved lacquer vase, the paint thickness should be at least 5mm.  1mm paint requires 16 coats, 5mm means at least 80 coats of paint.  It takes at least one day for the paint to dry, and you have to wait 80 days before you can carve it.  According to a lacquer carving master, he made a 1-meter carved lacquer bottle.  Just painting it took 4 months, and it took him a full 8 months to complete it.  Precisely because carving lacquer is so energy-consuming, today¡¯s young people.  There are very few people who have the patience to enter this industry, and the number of lacquer carving masters in China can be counted on one hand.  This keeps going on.  Carved lacquer, a high-end handicraft product currently common in the Beijing tourist market, will be lost in the near future.  Chu Chen continued: "What I mean is that I would like to invite you to work in my shop. Then I will help you set up a studio. I will give you a fixed salary every month and I will provide all the materials.  You can also share the products sold at that time, but there is one thing. During this period, I hope you can bring a few apprentices. " "This" The conditions given by Chu Chen are not unreasonable, and he is very excited to thank you.  , but he really doesn¡¯t have much experience in leading apprentices. If he can¡¯t teach well, he will be embarrassed to face Chu Chen.  "Thank you, old man, let me say something!" Lao Wu, who was sitting in the passenger seat, said: "You will have your grandson to take care of in the future. Let's not talk about the cost of the child's treatment. The cost of food, clothing, housing and transportation in the future, half a million is really worth it.  Not much. If the child wants to study abroad in the future, this amount of money will not be enough" "I understand everything you said!" When Lao Wu said this, Xie Gong interrupted him and said: "  I know that the conditions offered by Boss Chu are very generous, and I really want to agree to it. However, I really don¡¯t have much experience in teaching disciples. If I don¡¯t teach well¡± Hearing this, Chu Chen also understood Xie Gong¡¯s worries.  What happened? He smiled and said: "Mr.  Well, it won¡¯t work at first, but it will get better gradually.¡± Seeing what Chu Chen said, Xie Gong no longer had any worries and agreed, ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll do it, but it¡¯s time to go to work  " Chu Chen said: "Don't be in a hurry about going to work. I'm like thisI planned to do it. Originally, I had already contacted the owner of the shop next door and wanted to buy the shop. The other party also had a certain intention. I plan to decide on this in the next few days. Your working hours will be decided after the shop is decorated.  , what do you think?  ¡± The reason why Chu Chen wanted to take over the shop next door was because the business at Jade was so good that it was a bit crowded when there were many people. Moreover, tens of millions of high-end jade was sold at every turn, right in front of the public.  The transaction was completed, and it seemed a bit too casual. But if the customer was invited to the VIP room next door, Chu Chen felt that it would be too troublesome for the customer, so he thought of selling the shop next door.  The shop is not big. After Chu Chen plans to take over the shop, it will be turned into a VIP room, specially used for trading high-end jade. In this way, the room upstairs can be used as a studio for thanking people.  Seeing Chu Chen's arrangement, Xie Gong hurriedly agreed. Speaking of which, he was really unsure about asking him to work now because of the child's affairs. He thought that when the store was renovated, the child should be almost able to recover!  When it came to the store, Chu Chen suddenly thought that he should get in touch today, so he said to Lao Wu: "Brother Wu, go to Boss Quan now and ask him what he thinks. If he has any  If there are any conditions, you can also try to negotiate. You should know our bottom line, right?  "    "Know!  "Lao Wu nodded: "Then I'll go now" Chu Chen pulled over and let Lao Wu down, then drove straight to Yuhuating. The two followed Liu Shuqin to the living room. At this time, Mr. Liu was  Reading the classics, I was very happy to see Chu Chen coming over. "Hello, Master (Mr. Liu)!"  " The two exchanged greetings first, and then Chu Chen briefly explained the origin. When Mr. Liu heard what was going on, he immediately became interested in the painting. When Xie Gong took out the painting, he  He picked up the tools and began to observe carefully. It didn't take long for Mr. Liu to make an appraisal. After the two of them finished drinking the tea that Liu Qinshu made, he raised his head and breathed a sigh of relief. "Achen, what do you think?  "Mr. Liu asked. "I think this work should be written by You Qiu and inscribed by Wen Zhengming himself" At this point, Chu Chen repeated what he had just said to Xie Gong.  Once again, although Chu Chen had basically confirmed his judgment based on the results from the supernatural power, this was not his true skill after all. Finally, he said: "Master, you also know that the appraisal of calligraphy and painting is a big deal.  Knowledge, I usually focus on porcelain and jade, so I am not too sure about this result, so I just want to hear your opinion.  " Appraisal is a specialized knowledge. In particular, the appraisal of calligraphy and painting is more difficult in some aspects than the appraisal of bronzes and ceramics. It all depends on "eyesight", which is composed of accumulated experience, history, culture, art, etc.  Therefore, if you want to become a good calligraphy and painting appraisal expert, you must read more classics. Otherwise, you can¡¯t even understand the meaning of calligraphy and painting and the classification of paintings. How can you talk about appraisal?  In this regard, Chu Chen still has an advantage. After all, he has the ability of photographic memory. He is now the best at memorizing things by rote. However, since he wants to understand the meaning of calligraphy and painting, just memorizing by rote is not enough. The key is  You have to understand it. Because of this, without the use of supernatural powers, calligraphy and painting appraisal is the most uncertain thing for Chu Chen. Mr. Liu smiled and said: "Achen, I am very happy that you can think so.  If we don¡¯t understand this industry, we just don¡¯t understand. We must not pretend to understand, otherwise we will harm others and ourselves.  " Having said this, he pointed to the painting in front of him and said: "I still agree with your conclusion about this painting, but there are still some things you haven't noticed" Next, Mr. Liu said  He pointed out several details he had observed and explained the problems, which made Chu Chen nod his head. However, the conclusion given by Mr. Liu disappointed Xie Gong.  Extremely, if this painting was not authentic in the past, it would not be authentic, but now is the most difficult time for his family, and both of them are old. If this painting is authentic, the money from the sale can  Let the children live a worry-free life in the future. In this way, they will feel more confident about their future lives. But now this painting is only worth 500,000 yuan. As Lao Wu said before, 500,000 yuan seems to be a lot, wait and see.  When he got up, it was really unlikely that he would have enough. But the result was like this, so he could only accept it. Fortunately, he still had a skill. Even if he didn't have the five hundred thousand, he would still have no problem supporting his family.  . Seeing Xie Gong learn the result,With a gloomy look on his face, Chu Chen briefly talked about his family's affairs, which made both Mr. Liu and his daughter sigh.  Mr. Liu said: "I'm not too sure whether this work was written by You Qiu. Otherwise, leave the painting here with me for now. I'll invite some of my old friends to come over and take a look tomorrow.  , if the author is famous, this painting can be sold for more money, what do you think?" (To be continued)
