    Chu Chen has not forgotten the promise he made to Chu Jiamei and the others. Now that he sees a suitable nine-eyed dzi bead, he will of course buy it, but he is not in a hurry. He plans to talk about it later.  There are a lot of good things on display in Nan Nancai's store. Chu Chen estimated that the things he put in the safe must be better. This also shows that Nan Nancai's antique business is indeed quite big.  After taking the two people around, Nan Nan was probably afraid that the two would have concerns about his things, so he took the initiative and said: "The cultural relics I have here are all purchased and privately owned cultural relics. After the acquisition, they will be sold exclusively or auctioned to make a profit."  There is no price difference, so there is no legal risk at all. Moreover, the world's two famous auction houses, Sotheby's and Christie's, also purchase antiques from me for auction every year, so you don't have to worry about the price." In the end.  , his face showed a look of pride again.  Being able to have the world's two major auction houses come to the store to purchase, Nan Nancai is indeed proud of it.  As for the price, judging from the price tag, Chu Chen felt that compared with the domestic price, it was just the market price, and it was not as favorable as Nan Nancai said.  Of course, then again, prices in Paris are inherently more expensive than those in China. Generally speaking, the prices of antiques are also more expensive than those in China. From this point of view, the prices of goods in Nan Nancai's store are  , it is indeed a relatively favorable price.  After taking the two people around, Nan Nan very enthusiastically invited the two people into the reception room, and asked the waiter in the store to make a cup of tea for everyone, and then turned the topic to the user.  The artifacts made of meteorite iron come up.  Chu Chen didn¡¯t hesitate and took out the box containing the gun.  After opening it, he pushed it in front of Nan Nancai.  Only then did Nan Nan see what was in the box.  He was slightly stunned at first, and then asked with some uncertainty: "Mr. Chu. I am not very good at bronzes. I want to ask you for advice. This should be a cheng, right?" Chu Chen replied: "It is indeed a handful.  "Bronze gun." Nan Nan nodded, and then picked up the bronze gun in the box and looked at it carefully. It must be said that the quality of this bronze gun is indeed very good. It looks intact and has very little rust.  It maintains its original appearance, and the inlaid iron blade made of meteorite still looks cold and cold.  It looks very sharp.  Judging from the characteristics of the bronze, Nan Nan guessed that it might have been made in the Shang Dynasty. With such a bronze that has been preserved so well to this day, it is conceivable that the production technology must have been very advanced at that time.  Coupled with the iron blade made of meteorite iron, judging from these characteristics, he felt that this bronze sword should not be used by ordinary nobles at that time, not to mention that there are two gold inscriptions engraved on it.  Because the bronze inscriptions from the Shang Dynasty to the Warring States Period were basically cast characters.  It will never be like the history books that have been passed down from generation to generation, and there will be no mistakes in the copying, and there is no suspicion of tampering by future generations. Therefore, it is a truly credible historical material that can make up for the deficiencies and errors in the history books.  It is an important reference for dating and identifying forgeries.  This also means that since the rise of epigraphy in the Song Dynasty, people's attention to bronzes has focused on writing.  Collectors at that time actively searched for bronzes with inscriptions based on this demand.  Beginning in the Qing Dynasty, due to the prosperity of Qianjia School of Pu Xue.  People treat bronze inscriptions as historical documents, so the price of bronzes with inscriptions in the Qing Dynasty was higher.  It¡¯s now.  In the domestic collection market, there is an unwritten rule. An inscription is worth 10,000 yuan, that is, a piece of bronze. In addition to its size, craftsmanship, exquisiteness, rarity, quality and other factors, if there is an inscription, then there is  To add value, 10,000 yuan is required for each text. The more texts, the more valuable they are.  For example, even if a small-sized bronze vessel is not exquisitely cast, but if it is engraved with interesting inscriptions, the value of the bronze vessel will be many times higher than that of a large-sized, finely cast bronze vessel without inscriptions.  Therefore, collectors generally pay great attention to the words on bronze vessels, not only because those words have academic value, but they also have high economic value.  Now, Chu Chen¡¯s bronze sword is not only in excellent condition, but also has an iron blade made of meteorite embedded in it. It also has two bronze inscriptions. Although it is a bit smaller, with a total length of only 14 or 5 centimeters, it is  It can be regarded as a small masterpiece among the bronzes of the Shang Dynasty.  After appreciating the bronze jade, Nan Nan asked, "Mr. Chu, if I read it correctly, this should be a bronze jade from the Shang Dynasty, right?" Chu Chen nodded and said, "Yes, so do I.  "I think it should be from the Shang Dynasty." "Then do you know what these two bronze inscriptions mean?" Nan Nan asked again.  Chu Chen shook his head: "I'm sorry, I really don't recognize these two characters. If I remember correctly, these two bronze inscriptions should not exist now."?Among the bronze inscriptions identified.  " Our country has entered the Bronze Age in the Xia Dynasty, and the technology of copper smelting and copperware manufacturing is very developed. Because copper was also called gold before the Zhou Dynasty, the inscriptions on the bronzes are called "jinwen" or "jinjinwen"  And because this type of bronze has the largest number of characters on it, it was also called "Zhongding Wen" in the past. The period of bronze inscriptions started from the early Shang Dynasty to the end of the Qin Dynasty, which lasted for more than 1,200 years.  According to statistics from authoritative experts, the number of characters is now 3,722, of which 2,420 can be identified. The bronze inscriptions on Chu Chen¡¯s bronze hammer are exactly one of the more than a thousand unrecognized bronze inscriptions.  On this point, Chu Chen had just told Wu Ke that the research value of this bronze was higher than the market value. Nan Nan didn't know much about bronze inscriptions, but after hearing what Chu Chen said, he felt that the research value was higher than the market value.  It was because he wanted to save face, and he deliberately said it as if he was authoritative. No wonder he thought so. Chu Chen looked too young. How could a person of his age have such a deep understanding of inscriptions?  Although Nan Cai didn't show much of his thoughts, Chu Chen and Wu Ke could still feel that Chu Chen was nothing. Even if Nan Cai looked down on him, he wouldn't lose a hair.  She was very unhappy about this, rolled her eyes, and then asked Chu Chen: "Achen, does Mr. Liu know these two words?  " Seeing Wu Ke asking this, Chu Chen immediately understood what she meant, which made him feel funny and warm. As for Liu Laona's bronze inscription books, he had basically read them, and these two words were indeed not mentioned in them.  Of course, in such a scene, he had to maintain his master's authority no matter what, so he shook his head and said: "I really don't know about this. I will only know after I go back and show him the things.  .  "    "ah!  Mr. Liu is so knowledgeable, doesn¡¯t he know?  "Wu Ke looked surprised. She was not pretending to react, but she immediately realized that Chu Chen has a photographic memory. Although the inscriptions are complex, they are also things that can be memorized by rote. Therefore, Liu  Chu Chen probably knows how to do it. "It's not that I don't know, I'm just not sure. After all, I haven't asked him about bronze inscriptions for a long time" After listening to the conversation between the two, Nan Nan was confused.  He still didn't understand the meaning, which made him somewhat embarrassed, but he was indeed very curious about Mr. Liu that Wu Ke was talking about, and wanted to know who this Mr. Liu was. "You two, I would like to take the liberty to ask.  I don¡¯t know who you are talking about, Mr. Liu?  Wu Ke heard the words and replied first: "I'm talking about Liu Zhi and Mr. Liu, Achen is his close disciple."  " Nan Nan asked with a look of disbelief: "Are you talking about Mr. Liu from the capital?  "    "of course!  "Wu Ke replied with a proud expression. After receiving a positive reply, Nan Nan quickly stood up, stretched out his hand again, and said excitedly: "Mr. Chu, I didn't expect that you are actually Mr. Liu's disciple.  What a disrespect!  "    "where!  Where" Seeing this situation, Chu Chen also stood up politely, shook hands with him, and exchanged a few words. After sitting back down, Nan Nan said with some sigh: "My grandfather was lucky enough to meet Liu in the past.  We had exchanges with him several times, and I always admired him for what he had learned. I also always wanted to go back and visit Mr. Liu again, but then he got old and it was inconvenient to return to China. I always felt very sorry for this matter. If he knew  I will meet Mr. Liu's disciples today, and I should be very happy.  Chu Chen said: "Boss Nan, don't worry, I will definitely convey this matter to my master after I return to China."  I'd also like to trouble you to convey my and my master's greetings to your grandfather.  "    "Why!  Nan Nan sighed and said, "His old man passed away last winter."  " "Uh I'm sorry, boss, please forgive me!  " Chu Chen didn't know what to say about this matter, so he could only comfort him. "Mr. Chu, I'm sorry for bringing up this topic!  " Nan Nan quickly adjusted his mood, smiled apologetically at Chu Chen, and then asked: "Mr. Chu, do you have any thoughts on transferring this bronze sword?  As for the price, you will definitely be satisfied.  " "Sorry, I don't have this idea yet.  ¡± Chu Chen shook his head. If he recognized the inscriptions on his bronze hammer, then he might still be able to transfer it. But since the inscriptions on his bronze sword have not yet been identified, it means that this thing has a high value.  research value, so at least for now, he definitely has no intention of transferring. Seeing Chu Chen's firm refusal, Nan Nan could only sigh with regret, but he immediately thought that since Chu Chen is Mr. Liu.  disciple, then it is possible that Chu ChenHe found other treasures, so he smiled and asked: "Mr. Chu, I would like to ask again, I don't know if you have gained anything else before. Don't worry, if the stuff is good and you plan to transfer it, what's the price?"  We also discussed that if you are willing, it is also possible to exchange things for things."
