    At this time, the man with a bad temper suddenly asked in shock: "Wait a minute, the person you are talking about is called Chu Chen?" "It's called Chu Chen. What's wrong with that?" The clerk glanced at the man.  , I thought his behavior was a bit strange.  At this time, the man's companion also reacted, looked at each other, and murmured: "Is it the famous Jade King?" "It seems to be the same number, the same name, about the same age, and I heard  He also owns an antique shop and has a very high level of identifying antiques Yes! It must be him!" The man slapped his thigh fiercely, showing an annoyed look on his face, indicating that he had just passed by Chu Chen.  Regretfully, there was also the frustration of missing one or a few pieces that might lead to high-end jadeite wool, but things had reached this point and it was too late for him to regret it.  "You said Chu Chen is the 'Jade King'? Stop joking, okay?!" The conversation between the two made the old man feel that he had heard the funniest thing in the world. If Chu Chen is better at betting on stones, he at least  I can still believe it, but to say that Chu Chen is the "Jade King" is to brag without even starting a draft!  The man glanced at the old man and sneered: "Just because you think it's impossible, doesn't mean that others really can't do it. Chu Chen is a person who can beat the Jade King in a bet. Doesn't he still deserve the title of 'Jade King'?"  !¡± ¡°Which Jade King?¡± The old man was stunned.  "Apart from the one from Myanmar, which stone gambling master can be called the Jade King?" the man said matter-of-factly.  "Ah! Is it true?" The old man exclaimed, looking very unbelievable.  "Do I need to lie to you about this kind of thing? If you don't believe me, go and ask at the stone circle!" The man curled his lips, then hurriedly ran out: "Lao Yu, let's go quickly. The Jade King must have gone in another direction just now.  Let's go. If you hurry up now, you might be able to catch up" "Hey! Wait for me" The two of them left as fast as they could, leaving the old man and the clerk looking at each other. After a while, the old man  He gave the clerk a hard time.  He said angrily: "Where has your usual cleverness gone? Why didn't you tell me about such an important thing earlier!" The clerk covered his head and said with an innocent look: "I thought you knew, besides,  "Oh, I don't know what kind of 'Jade King' Teacher Chu is!" "Youare really mad at me!" The old man also knew this, no wonder the clerk was a little depressed.  Thinking that tens or even millions of jade might have slipped away from his hands, his heart couldn't help but start to bleed.  Fortunately, he didn't know that he missed something more important, otherwise he would be so heartbroken that he would vomit blood.  At the same time, Qi Baofu and Fang Jinbo were also sitting in their seats, with quite shocked looks on their faces.  Zhao Xueyi laughed and said: "I told you two, don't act so surprised. Anyway, as long as you remember, any abnormal things will become normal when it comes to Xiao Chen. For example, Xiao Chen is still a very skilled doctor.  Doctor, how are you doing, don¡¯t you think it¡¯s incredible?¡± At this time, Qi Baofu and Fang Jinbo were so shocked that they no longer knew what words to express their feelings.  Chu Chen just sat there, smiling and saying nothing. Chinese people were in interpersonal communication.  The emphasis is on being reserved and tactful, and not speaking too clearly, as is the case now.  He didn't need to say anything more.  At this time, Zhu Dafu relieved Chu Chen, waved his hand with a smile and said: "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, let me ask everyone something, what are we going to do this afternoon?" Wu Ke heard this and asked: "Ah  Chen. Are you going to that vendor this afternoon?" Before Chu Chen could answer, Zhao Xueyi asked curiously, "What vendor?" "That's what happened" Chu Chen said with a smile.  I repeated it to everyone.  After hearing what happened, Uncle Wu and others understood.  Chu Chen is usually very punctual, but he is always late.  Zhao Xueyi sighed: "People today will come up with all kinds of evil ways to get some money. If this continues, our market will be filled with chaos sooner or later by these people." "Forget about the future, how much better can it be now?"  Zhu Dafu shook his head. The antique market was already full of three religions and nine currents. Coupled with the current materialistic desires, all kinds of deceptions can be said to be endless.  However, there is no way to prevent this kind of thing. After all, there are always some people who like crooked ways in the world. If you catch this, others will appear. If you want to avoid being cheated, in addition to increasing your appraisal level,  The important thing is to restrain your greed and don't believe that pie will fall from the sky.  Zhu Dafu then said: "Xiao Fang, newcomers like you are really?Please note that your usual habits cannot be used in the antique business.  You newcomers like to blindly listen to others, so you should pay special attention to this.  " "Thank you Mr. Zhu, I will pay attention to it.  " Fang Jinbo nodded repeatedly to express his gratitude, and then he asked a little embarrassedly: "Then if I like something and I am not sure whether it is real or fake, is there any other good way besides not buying it?  " Zhao Xueyi smiled and said: "You can use the method of 'refund if fake' to test the seller. If the seller knows in his heart that it is a fake, he will usually shirk it.  However, this method generally only works in antique shops, such as small vendors, and it is basically unlikely that they will agree to it.  After hearing this, Qi Baofu said: "This method is good, but there shouldn't be many antique shops that can agree to this condition, right?"  " "That's not necessarily the case.  Chu Chen said: "Our private antique and art transactions often do not require contracts written in black and white. Reputation plays a key role."  Those antique dealers who pay attention to personal credibility do not focus on immediate profits, but hope to establish their own image of integrity in the circle.  For example, if you go to my place or Uncle Zhao's or Uncle Fu's to buy antiques, if you want to 'return the goods if they are fake', that's fine too.  " Zhao Xueyi took the words and said: "Yes, yes!  But if you want a 'guaranteed refund', the item will have to be more expensive. After all, we also have to make money to support our family.  " Qi Baofu said with a smile: "Of course, otherwise it would be too greedy.  " Fang Jinbo nodded in agreement. If you want authentic antiques, besides spending more money, you can only rely on your own eyesight. Dreaming about pie in the sky will definitely not work. At this time, the waiter began to serve the dishes, and everyone also  He put down what he was doing and had a nice meal. Zhu Dafu asked again: "Xiao Chen, you didn't say anything just now. Are you going to go to that hawker this afternoon?"  " "Well" Chu Chen seemed a little hesitant. "What's the matter? Do you have other things to be busy with?"  Or do you want to cut the wool first?  "Uncle Wu asked. "No!  Chu Chen shook his head and explained: "I just want to open the box to see if there is anything else inside."  "    "What?  !  Anything else?  "Everyone had a look of astonishment after hearing what Chu Chen said. After a while, Uncle Wu asked curiously: "Xiao Chen, how do you know what's in that box?  " As soon as he finished speaking, everyone else looked at Chu Chen with curious faces. "Wait a moment" Chu Chen stood up, went to get the rattan box first, opened the box, and then explained: "  Look at this box, it is very thin at the edge, but becomes thicker and thicker as it goes towards the front. This is very unreasonable. Generally speaking, boxes should always have a larger volume, the better, but this one  Rattan Box specializes in making small items, which is very unreasonable.  " "In addition to this, the weight of the rattan box is also different from the actual weight. From the surface, this rattan box has a history of at least more than a hundred years, so it should be very dry and the weight should also be heavier.  Light is right. I wonder if you, Zuoshan, have noticed that this rattan box is heavier than it actually is.  " Zuo Shan looked at the wool in the box, thought about it for a moment, and then nodded and said: "Young Master Chu, when you say that, I really feel that this box needs to be heavier.  " At this point, everyone looked stunned. Wu Ke said excitedly: "In other words, there is probably something hidden in this box?  " "It should be so, but we have to open it and look at it to know the details.  "Chu Chen said with a slight smile. "Then what are you waiting for? Let's buy a saw now and saw the box open!  "Zhu Dafu couldn't wait to say. Zhao Xueyi shook his head when he heard this: "You don't know, Lao Yi seems to be quite generous, but in fact he is very cautious. Although we can open the box here, there is no problem, but if this matter spreads  It¡¯s not a good idea to hear it in his ears. Let¡¯s wait until we get back to talk about it!  " "What's the matter? If the thing is a gift from him, there may be some talk at that time, but Xiaochen bought this box with money, what else can he say nonsense!  " Having said this, Zhu Dafu smiled and said to Chu Chen: "Xiao Chen, you did a good job in this matter, but what if he didn't say to give you this box at that time?  " Chu Chen said with a smile: "We didn't have anything to put these woolen materials at that time, so it would be no problem to buy him a box. Besides, this box is not a good thing.  " Zhao Xueyi said: "Don't talk about it yet. Fortunately, he said it himself, otherwise he might have to think too much.  ¡± This??, Uncle Wu waved his hand and said: "Okay, we have got the things anyway. One more thing is worse than one less thing. Let's go back and unpack the box now!" "That's right, that's right! Business is more important" After that, , Zhao Xueyi and Zhu Dafu stood up one after another, eager to see what was hidden in the box.  Seeing everyone walking out, Qi Baofu and Fang Jinbo seemed a little hesitant. After all, they were not very familiar with Chu Chen and others. It was a bit embarrassing to go back with them, but they also wanted to see what was hidden in the box.  What kind of treasure should I carry? I was in a dilemma for a while.  (To be continued) ps: Thanks to "Book Friends 141123004833157" and "¦áx Moqi?v" for their monthly votes!
