    Professor Zhu asked again: "Do beginners really have no chance of picking up mistakes?" "There must be!" Chu Chen said: "But for experienced players, the chance of picking up mistakes is not high, and beginners have a higher chance of picking things up.  It's very slim. Basically, if you enter this industry with this idea, you won't lose money. As the old saying goes, if you don't even know how to walk, how can you not stumble if you just want to run?  "Professor Zhu nodded: "That's right, no diamonds, no porcelain work. However, I have a friend who just retired. He heard others say that antiques can make money, so he entered this industry.  Tian also told me that he spent 20,000 yuan to buy a blue and white vase, and after appraisal, it was worth 100,000 yuan. "He was very excited and told me that it is easy to make money from antiques, and he also wanted to persuade me to buy antiques.  He said he would definitely make a lot of money. I felt a little doubtful at that time and asked him to wait for two days. ¡°Dr. Chu, is this possible?¡± After hearing what Professor Zhu said, Chu Chen¡¯s first reaction was Professor Zhu¡¯s friend.  Probably being deceived by others, he shook his head and said: "It is indeed possible for newbies to pick up missing pieces, but the truth is as I just said, if it is so easy to pick up antiques and make a lot of money, how can there be a street stall?  "It's a hawker! So I think it's very possible that your friend was deceived by someone else." Professor Zhu said in surprise.  Chu Chen nodded: "Yes, in the antique industry, buying things depends on your own eyesight. Even if the thing is fake, the seller does not need to return it after you buy it." "Ah! Isn't there no one in charge?  ?" Professor Zhu's expression looked a little incredible.  "How do you manage this matter?" Chu Chen said with a smile: "For example, let's take this statue. When I sell it, I don't say what year it is, I just say it is an old thing. This doesn't matter.  Is that wrong? You feel that your wish has not been met and you want to return it, but you can¡¯t find any suitable reason.¡± ¡°Also, many sellers in our industry like to tell stories when selling things, and this is the statue.  Let's talk about it. I said it was passed down from my family. It was used by someone, and it was saved with great difficulty during the Anti-Japanese War. Anyway, it is as vivid as you want, but who knows whether this story is true or not.  "Fake?" "If someone buys something and sees it is a fake, what reason do you have to return it because it was influenced by my story? I just want to say that I am not forcing you to buy it.  You have to buy it yourself. What can I say if it is affected? " "This" Professor Zhu didn't know what to say after hearing this.  Chu Chen chuckled and said: "So, if you want to enter our industry, you must first learn before talking. Only by opening your eyes with knowledge can you not be deceived. I think you should give some advice to your friend.  It's best not to get too deep. If he needs anything, he can come to my store and we can help him identify the authenticity of the things." After saying that, he took out another business card and handed it to Professor Zhu.  in hand.  "Yes!" Professor Zhu nodded and took Chu Chen's business card: "I will advise him on this matter." "Professor Zhu, I would like to ask, what do you plan to do with this bamboo statue?"  Chu Chen asked.  "Of course it will be returned to the patient's family!" Professor Zhu said matter-of-factly: "Why. Do you have any ideas?" "Yes!" Chu Chen nodded and said, "To be honest, I will go to Jinling in a few days to give it to the patient's family."  An old man was celebrating his birthday and was looking for a birthday gift. I thought this statue was quite suitable, so I wanted to buy it. "Oh!" Professor Zhu thought for a while.  Said: "The most important thing about this matter is to look at the other party's opinion. I will call the patient's family later and you can discuss it with them. Of course, I will also help you." "Thank you in advance.  Thank you!" After hearing what he said, Chu Chen immediately smiled and expressed his gratitude.  Professor Zhu smiled and waved his hand: "What's the matter? I want to thank you for helping me appraise it! By the way, I remember that there is a fee for appraising antiques" "What you said is just a simple effort for me, so what?  I can ask for your money!" Chu Chen shook his head quickly.  Professor Zhu laughed and said, "In that case, it's lunch time. I'll invite you to the cafeteria for a meal, and I'll also be waiting for the patient's family members. Do you mind?" Chu Chen smiled and shook his head: "  Why do you mind" After the two of them had eaten, drank some tea, and chatted for a while, the family members of the patient that Professor Zhu was talking about rushed over.  This person¡¯s surname is Niu. In fact, he didn¡¯t want to come here at first. Not only did he not like the three or four hundred thousand dollars, but he thought it was too fake. He felt that he had often?How could a statue you were playing with be worth so much?  Therefore, when he received the call, his first thought was disbelief.  However, Professor Zhu had promised him on the phone that he must come over, so he had no choice but to run over. When he came, he kept muttering in his heart, thinking that Professor Zhu was too rigid. It was just a statue of hundreds or even thousands.  Why not take it away?  Of course, this Mr. Niu only dared to whisper in his heart. When he saw Professor Zhu in person, he was extremely enthusiastic.  After the two parties introduced each other, Chu Chen went directly to the topic: "Mr. Niu, is this statue yours?" "It used to be mine. I gave it to Professor Zhu a few days ago." Mr. Niu said with a smile.  Professor Zhu directly waved his hand and said: "If I accept such a valuable thing, wouldn't it make me make a mistake? I don't dare to accept it!" Mr. Niu shook his head: "Hey! Although this thing was handed down from my ancestors,  "Yes, it's just something made of bamboo. How much is it worth?" "Mr. Niu, you are really wrong. This bamboo statue is really worth a lot of money." Chu Chen said, "Now I just want to.  Let me ask you, do you want to sell this bamboo statue? " "Ah, do you really want to buy it?" Mr. Niu suddenly looked surprised when he heard what Chu Chen said.  He looked like he was joking, but he also knew that what Professor Zhu said on the phone earlier might be true, which made his mind immediately confused.  "Mr. Niu, how could I lie to you about this?" Chu Chen said with certainty.  Mr. Niu came back to his senses and asked with an incredulous look: "This thing is really like what Professor Zhu said on the phone, can it be worth three or four hundred thousand?" Chu Chen said: "Yes! To be precise, the market value should be  Between 350,000 and 400,000. I wonder if you can sell it? " "This" Mr. Niu hesitated immediately. Now that he knew that this inconspicuous thing was indeed valuable, he was also worried as a small citizen.  After thinking about the calculation, he first had an idea, is the value of this thing really as Chu Chen said?  Will it be more expensive?  Seeing Mr. Niu's hesitant look, Professor Zhu reminded: "Mr. Niu, Dr. Chu is not only excellent in medical skills, but he is also a disciple of Liu Zhi and Mr. Liu. This statue was appraised by him before." Listen to Professor Zhu  Having said that, Mr. Niu immediately realized that it was an unexpected blessing that he could earn so much money. Speaking of which, if it weren't for Professor Zhu's high integrity, he would never have had this unexpected income. Just like this, how could he have the nerve to continue?  Greedy?  Thinking of this, Mr. Niu quickly said: "I'm selling this thing! As for the price, Dr. Chu can give you whatever you want!" "Then four hundred thousand!" Chu Chen said directly. After all, he was the one who wanted to buy this statue. If he  If it is an acquisition, it will definitely be less.  "You said that, didn't you slap me in the face? If it weren't for Dr. Chu, I wouldn't have this unexpected income. Let's just give it 350,000 yuan!" Mr. Niu is not a fool. If he really gets 400,000 yuan, he will definitely take it.  It doesn't matter if you give people the impression of being fond of money in front of other people, but the key is that Professor Zhu is present. Professor Zhu is a famous pediatrician in the country. If he leaves a bad impression, I will  If you ask him for something in the future, will others still help you?  "No, if you do this, I am taking too much advantage. Let's do this. I bought this thing to give it away. Let's give it 390,000 yuan. I will take advantage of you. What do you think?" Actually, to be honest, this  Under such circumstances, Chu Chen really wanted to buy it outright for 400,000 yuan. If it was cheap, it would also be a favor.  Mr. Niu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard what Chu Chen said. You know, 40,000 yuan was a lot of money for him. However, he still worked hard and declined for a while before finally agreeing.  .  There were many banks at the entrance of the hospital. The two signed the agreement, and after saying goodbye to Professor Zhu, they went to the bank to complete the transaction by transferring money. Then Chu Chen handed his business card to Mr. Niu and told him about antiques.  , you can go to the store to find him, and then the two separate.  After coming out of the bank, Chu Chen drove to get ready to go home. As soon as he opened the car door, he received a call from Duan Kun.  "Brother Chen, Zhenzhen and I are already at XX Hotel. If you have time, come over!" "Why did you come here?" Chu Chen asked.  "It's noon. We were afraid of delaying your meal, so we didn't call you to tell you." Duan Kun said with a smile.  "You guys, what's the inconvenience of this? Call me earlier and tell me that I won't pick you up at the airport! Okay, just wait for me at the hotel. It's just right."I also brought the silver needle with me, so I could give Zhenzhen some acupuncture.  "Hehe, okay, Brother Chen, we'll leave our itinerary for the next few days to you" After hanging up the phone, Chu Chen smiled and shook his head, and then drove to the hotel Duan Kun mentioned.  , Duan Kun and Zhenzhen had already visited the capital the year before last, but it happened to be the Chinese New Year at that time, and Chu Chen had to carve jade again, so after one treatment, he didn't have time to accompany them, so this time he just made up for it.  .
