    Hearing what Chu Chen said, the fourth master also knew that Chu Chen seemed to really not care about the plum vase, so he laughed and said: "I will take it back for 19,000, Expert Chu, you must let me earn a little!"  Let's do this. Together with this bottle, it's 20,000 yuan in total. Take it if you want, or forget it!" Seeing that Fourth Master looked like he didn't want to talk anymore, Chu Chen felt that this price should be his limit, so he asked  He nodded and agreed.  After paying the money with one hand and delivering the goods with the other, Chu Chen took the two things and said goodbye to the Fourth Master and the guide.  But when the three of them walked to the door, they happened to see the old man and the young man walking in from the door happily.  Seeing that Chu Chen and the others had just come out now, and they had two more things in their hands, the old man felt unhappy. He complained a little that the fourth master didn't wait for them to come over before taking out the things, but he thought that the clock was bought by him in the end.  He looked proud again: "So what if I'm an expert? You didn't get the advantage of me in the end!" Seeing the old man agreeing and passing by him and others arrogantly, Qi Baofu was really furious. At the same time,  It also made him feel very ashamed of Chu Chen.  When he walked out of the door, Qi Baofu apologized to Chu Chen and said, "Mr. Chu, it's my fault this time" "Mr. Qi, let this be over!" Chu Chen smiled and waved his hand and said, "Let's talk about it again.  Although that clock is very precious, unless my brain is broken, there is no way I would have spent so much money to buy it!" Qi Baofu and Cao Jingde were stunned after hearing what he said.  Qi Baofu came back to his senses and asked with an incredulous look on his face: "Teacher Chu. Is that clock a fake?" Chu Chen shook his head: "It must be fake, otherwise I wouldn't have agreed to spend two dollars in the first place.  "I bought it for one million dollars." "What do you mean?" Qi Baofu and Cao Jingde were both confused.  "Because that bell has been repaired," Chu Chen replied.  "Is there any cultivation?" Qi Baofu and Cao Jingde looked at each other in surprise.  Qi Baofu recalled something and said, "I looked carefully at that clock just now, and it doesn't look like it has been restored at all!" Chu Chen smiled slightly and said, "That's because the person who restored it is a master. On the surface, it doesn't look like it has been restored."  Because of the gilt layer, the repair marks are difficult to see, but if you look closely at the inside, you can still see it clearly. If the person just now followed me and carefully looked inside, I guess he would not be very good at bidding.  Come on." During the appraisal just now, others also looked at the outside of the clock.  However, due to space constraints, they did not look inside the clock. In addition, they all believed in Chu Chen's judgment, so when Chu Chen said that the thing was genuine, they were so excited that they stopped looking.  After hearing Chu Chen's explanation, the two couldn't help but look at each other. After a while, Cao Jingde asked: "Teacher Chu. How much is this clock worth?" Chu Chen smiled slightly and said, "Almost two million, at most.  No more than two and a half million." Qi Baofu said in surprise: "That doesn't mean that based on the current market conditions, it will take at least three to five years for this clock to have its current value?" Cao Jingde said with a smile.  Don't forget. This clock has been restored, and its value-added value is much less than that of normal items. Let alone three to five years, I have seen that it would be expensive if it could reach the current price in seven or eight years.  "That's right!" Qi Baofu felt relieved and said with a smile, "What a pity."  Forgive me! Besides, don't think about it. Even if it can appreciate to the current price in seven or eight years, how much interest will it earn over the years? And with the character of this old guy, can he hold on for so long?  I just took action, I don¡¯t think so.¡± ¡°Then let him vomit blood!¡± Qi Baofu said with a smile.  When they said this, a few people saw that with the help of the young man and the guide, the old man was carefully carrying the clock out of the house.  Chu Chen and the others really didn't want to see this man, so they continued to walk towards their car, but before leaving, Qi Baofu smiled happily at the old man.  This made the old man feel a little baffled, but his mind was now focused on the clock in front of him, so he didn't think much about it.  When he returned home and saw the repair marks inside the clock, and thought of Qi Baofu's smile, it was too late.  The group of people walked and chatted, thinking that they could finally meet Chu Chen. Qi Baofu and Cao Jingde took advantage of this period to ask several questions about antiques. Chu Chen also gave simple and clear answers, which made them suddenly enlightened.  Walk to your car?, Chu Chen smiled and said to Qi Baofu: "Mr. Qi, don't take what happened just now seriously. To be honest, if it weren't for you today, I wouldn't have missed it." Hearing Chu Chen say "pick up the leak"  , the two of them immediately became energetic. Qi Baofu quickly asked: "Teacher Chu, how many leaks did you pick up?" "Three!" Hearing Chu Chen's answer, the two of them were stunned immediately. You know, today  Chu Chen got a total of four things. Among them, the plum vase was definitely not leaking. Even Qi Baofu, who had poor eyesight, could see this. In other words, all the three things Chu Chen bought were actually leaky.  It was a leak, which really shocked them.  This made Cao Jingde feel a little itchy, and he quickly raised his hand: "Teacher Chu, I wonder if you can give us some advice now?" Seeing that the time had not reached three o'clock, Chu Chen said, "Let's go to the car and talk.  Well, it¡¯s more spacious inside.¡± Chu Chen said this because he didn¡¯t want the young man or the guide to see it, so as not to have any negative effects.  When everyone got into the car, Chu Chen flattened a chair, then took out the thangka and unfolded it.  "Let's talk about this thangka first" Next, Chu Chen introduced the just-obtained thangka to the two of them, and finally said: "This thangka shows such superb line drawing techniques.  It can be compared with the line drawing works of Wu Daozi in the Tang Dynasty and Li Gonglin in the Song Dynasty. It is undoubtedly of great significance to our understanding and understanding of the art of Thangka. Therefore, this work is really rare."  Through Chen's explanation, the two of them not only enhanced their understanding of thangka, but also admired Chu Chen's profound knowledge.  Qi Baofu smiled and said: "Teacher Chu, I have a very vulgar question. I wonder what the value of this thangka is?" Chu Chen replied: "A conservative estimate is around 100,000!" "Teacher Chu, you are really amazing.  !¡± After hearing the price given by Chu Chen, Cao Jingde couldn¡¯t help but give Chu Chen a thumbs up in admiration.  Hu Yong, who was sitting in front, saw them and curled his lips secretly, feeling that they were really ignorant.  But when he thought this, he probably had completely forgotten the shock when Chu Chen picked up the big leak.  "It seems that I have to pay attention to thangkas in the future." Qi Baofu murmured with great envy.  "I say, Lao Qi, can you stop thinking about missing things all the time in your mind!" Cao Jingde was speechless when he heard this: "If nothing else, let me ask you, do you know how to identify the authenticity of a thangka?"  Qi Baofu scratched his head and said with a smile: "Aren't you going to ask Teacher Chu for advice?" Chu Chen shook his head and said with a smile: "Mr. Qi, in our antique business, we can't just pick up the pieces at the last minute. This is 90% of the time.  If you don¡¯t catch it, you will probably get an eyelash!¡± Qi Baofu quickly said seriously: ¡°I¡¯m not that stupid, I just want to ask you a few tips. I will definitely read and learn after I go back!¡±  How could Cao Jingde, an old friend of his, not know that Qi Baofu didn¡¯t care much about reading at all, but he thought that even if he exposed Qi Baofu, he would definitely buy it if he took a fancy to it. In this case, it would be better to listen to Chu Chen¡¯s explanation, so as not to judge him for nothing.  .  "Then let me tell you a few points! There are two key points when we identify thangkas. One is to determine the authenticity and the other is to determine whether it is new or old. The identification of true and false thangkas mainly depends on the subject matter, content, production technology, materials, painting skills, etc.  Judgment. "Most thangkas are hung in temples or homes. They are dyed by incense all year round, forming a natural old color. Use a dry wool brush or dry cotton ball to lightly wipe the dust on the surface to see that the color is calm and natural.  Evenly. The old thangka is also made with smoke and smoke, but it feels rough and dry, the old color is unnatural, and the color is uneven. " "The second thing is the penetration of the paint. Old thangka can "eat the paint".  "Going in, it is obvious that the paint is only 'floating on the surface' of the old thangka. The friction, creases, peeling, and corrosion of the old thangka are all very natural, and the whole is harmonious, while those treated with chemicals such as acids and alkalis  The old thangkas are obviously stiff. In addition, the corners of old thangkas may be damaged, bitten by insects, or have tiny insect eggs. " "As for the painting, the style of Thangkas before the 19th century is simple and simple.  And because the pigments are pure natural minerals, the colors are strong, thick, and blunt, and the colors are not too rich. They are mostly red, blue, black, gold, and silver (i.e., white). The facial color of the characters is darker (plateau color)  " "After the 19th century, influenced by the Han style of rendering, contrasting, and outlining, techniques such as sfumato and 24-step shading were often used. In contemporary times, pigments extracted from plants are often used, which are softer and gentler" Chu Chen sometimes likes to be a teacher.  , it doesn¡¯t matter now anywaySince it was an urgent matter, I briefly explained some matters for appraising thangkas to the two of them.  After listening to Chu Chen¡¯s simple and clear explanation, Qi Baofu was very excited. He even took out a small book and pen to write down some of the key points.  In the end, Cao Jingde smiled and said: "I tell you, Lao Qi, if you were so serious when studying antiques, you wouldn't have had so many eye blows and lost millions! Teacher Chu, let me tell you  , His millions are not just big purchases, they are usually hundreds or even thousands of things. Do you think he is great?"
