    Early the next morning, Uncle Wu and others took a flight back to Beijing, while Chu Chen, Wu Ke and the others had another four days of fun in Star City. They were quite happy.  Just when Chu Chen was preparing to return to Beijing on Friday, the dealer named Xiao Ma called him on Thursday night. Only then did Chu Chen remember that he had promised to go to Xiao Ma's to see his business last Saturday.  Collection.  Anyway, there was nothing important recently, so he readily agreed and prepared to meet at Qingshuitang Antique Market tomorrow.  Early the next morning, after breakfast, Chu Chen, Wu Ke, and Zuo Shan took a car to the Qingshui Tang Antique Market.  It is also a coincidence that today is the Qingshuitang Antique Market and there is also a market. When Chu Chen and the others first arrived at the market, there were quite a lot of customers in the market. However, it was Friday after all, so there were still fewer people than last time.  Anyway, he had plenty of time, so Chu Chen took the lead in shopping and walked towards Xiaoma's stall. But he didn't know whether it was because he was unlucky today or because the good things had been sold out. Along the way, Chu Chen only picked up two gadgets.  That¡¯s all.  Of course, there are only so many good things in the world, and Chu Chen doesn¡¯t expect to get them all.  Xiao Ma's stall was almost at the end of the antique market, and the location was a bit remote. When Chu Chen and the others walked there chatting and laughing, there were not many buyers, only two, and according to Chu Chen, there were nearly five  With years of experience as a hawker, one of them has no idea of ??buying yet.  Sure enough, as Chu Chen thought, as soon as he said hello to Xiao Ma, the man stood up, clapped his hands and left.  Another buyer, Chu Chen, thinks he should be a novice.  This can be seen from his unfamiliar appreciation skills.  Generally speaking, traffickers like this kind of thing.  Because it is very easy to be fooled.  Especially folk collectors who consider themselves "masters" after reading a few cultural relics books, and dealers like them even more.  Although this person seemed to be a newcomer, Chu Chen had to say that he was lucky. As soon as he said hello to Xiao Ma, the buyer got the best thing in Xiao Ma's stall.  Go up and observe carefully.  However, what made Chu Chen feel strange was that at first.  There was still a sense of joy on the buyer's face, but after a while, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and his expression began to look hesitant and entangled.  What the buyer has in his hands is a straight-cylindrical pen holder, with the outer wall lightly engraved with Tongyin bamboo and stone, a corolla rooster, and a poem engraved on it.  This thing can be described as rich in pictures and texts, elegant and refined.  The knife work is simple, the effect is vivid, the text is also beautiful and dignified, and the patina is steady.  Quiet and cute.  Even if Chu Chen didn¡¯t take a closer look, he knew that this was a work by a famous artist from the beginning. He really couldn¡¯t figure it out.  What's so confusing and hesitant about this? Could it be that the buyer didn't bring enough money?  Or do you think this cartridge looks too well-preserved and too shiny?  I saw the buyer hesitated for more than ten minutes, unable to decide whether to buy or not.  Xiao Ma couldn't bear it anymore and said with a smile: "Brother, I received this pen holder from an old lady's family. Her ancestors have had high officials, so you can rest assured!" The buyer heard this!  He immediately frowned and found that Chu Chen next to him was staring at the thing in his hand and admiring it. He seemed to like it, so he put the pen holder back to its original position and said, "Forget it! I don't want my things anymore!"  " After saying that, he stood up and prepared to leave, but before he took a few steps, he turned around again and said to Chu Chen: "Young man, I see that you are a talented person.  'Ah! I advise you to change your career as soon as possible before it's too late!" After saying that, he left quickly without waiting for Chu Chen to speak, which made Chu Chen and the others look confused.  After a while, Wu Ke laughed and said: "I didn't expect that our Chu University expert would be regarded as a supporter. It really made me laugh to death!" Chu Chen had a bitter smile on his face. He really didn't know what to say about this.  good.  Staring at the things in other people's hands and appreciating them would be regarded as a favor. This was the first time he had encountered this in so many years.  Xiao Ma said with a smile: "Maybe he misunderstood my words, but I really got this pen holder from an old lady. Even if it's not a good thing, at least it's not bad in age. I think he was tricked."  I¡¯ve heard too much about it, so I¡¯m probably overreacting!¡± Buying gold in troubled times brings prosperity to collections.  With the improvement of living standards, people are becoming more and more interested in antiques, calligraphy and painting collections, and the market is becoming more and more popular.  At the same time, with the entry of some new people, the chaos in the antiques industry has intensified, and various deceptions have emerged one after another.  Generally speaking, veterans in the antiques industry like collectors who consider themselves "experts", but their appraisal skills are obviously half-experienced, but they are full of confidence and want to "pick up leaks". Such collectors are very popular in the antique industry.  In the eyes, it is a real hammer.? The way to rip off customers in the antique market is very simple, and it is nothing more than two tricks: one is to "kill people with a borrowed knife", and the other is to "make a fuss".  "Killing people with a borrowed knife" means using "entrustment" to deceive buyers.  The initial "reliance" came from the vendors or young men around me, but that didn't work out later because it was easy to get fooled by showing familiar faces all the time.  After having such concerns, an industry came into being, that is, professional "trust".  Most of these people come from rural areas, and their job is to wander around the market every day.  When a stall owner needs them to "fish", they will come together and use words such as "I have been shopping around the market and finally saw something good" to lure the buyer. After the transaction is completed, the stall owner will share his share.  .  The other trick, "pretending to be mysterious", depends on your performance skills.  For example, something like, "I got this product with great difficulty from so-and-so. If I hadn't seen you as an expert, I wouldn't have taken it out." When saying these words, at the same time, he looked around to avoid being heard.  Generally speaking, after these two tricks are used, even if the price is high, these people will definitely feel very satisfied.  However, if these two tricks are used too much, someone will always sum it up, and with some good intentions, they will remind friends who are new to the industry to pay attention.  However, newcomers will not remember the lessons unless they have been fooled a few times, so a reminder is a reminder, and those who should avoid this kind of scam will still avoid it.  Of course, there are also people who keep this reminder in mind and avoid a lot of losses for themselves, but if they are too suspicious, they will undoubtedly miss a lot of opportunities, just like the buyer Chu Chen and the others met.  After laughing, Xiao Ma said, "Teacher Chu, why don't we come to my place right now?" "Wait a minute!" Chu Chen waved his hand, then picked up the pen holder and said, "Let me take a look first.  This pen holder." Xiao Ma was slightly stunned. He really didn't expect that Chu Chen would also take a fancy to this pen holder. He quickly smiled and said, "Okay, just take a look" Chu Chen looked at the pen holder inside and out.  It was found that there was a reference to "Jun Valley" underneath the poem.  Jun Gu is the calligraphy name of Yang Qian, a famous seal carver in the Qing Dynasty. Yang Qian has a long history in family studies and inherited his father's business. He is skilled in Qihuang and is good at seal carving. He has learned Li Yang's Bing method, especially his craftsmanship in Yazhu.  Yang Qian's seal cutting was extremely famous at that time. Among the "Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou", the seal with "Jinjijin" written in white by Jin Nong and the seal "Calligraphy and Painting of Jin's Shoumen" written in Zhu were all carved by Yang Qian. The "Luo Pin Private" seal used by Luo Pin  "Seal" was also written by Yang Qian.  Yang Qian and Luo Pin were close friends, and he and Jin Nong also sang poems to each other.  Yang Qian's seal cutting had a profound influence on later generations. Zhao Zhichen, one of the famous "Eight Masters of Xiling", imitated his seals.  After appraising the treasure, Chu Chen was finally sure that this was Yang Qian¡¯s authentic work. It has a history of two to three hundred years, and it is very difficult to preserve it so well.  Perhaps it was precisely because of this that the buyer just now became suspicious. In addition, he was too suspicious, and finally had the misunderstanding just now.  Chu Chen was still very satisfied with the pen holder in his hand, so he said, "Xiao Ma, please set a price." At that moment, Xiao Ma had already thought about the price, but he was worried that Chu Chen would give him a price.  Not satisfied with the price, he said hesitantly: "Teacher Chu, I think you can give me twenty-five thousand, what do you think?" "Okay! Let's leave it like that. Should I give you the money now or wait for it later?" You know, the pen holder  The current market price is estimated to be around 70,000 to 80,000 yuan. How could Chu Chen not agree?  "We'll just give it together later" Seeing Chu Chen so cheerful, Xiao Ma was also very happy. He quickly packed up his things and took Chu Chen and others to take a taxi outside the market, preparing to go to where he lives now.  However, Chu Chen and the others did not see it. The buyer just happened to see the process of their fight.  Seeing this situation, the buyer said to his friend with some indignation: "Lao Liang, I didn't expect that the antique market is really as rampant as you said, and scammers are rampant. If I hadn't been smart just now, I would have been deceived a long time ago!" said  It was a coincidence that Lao Liang, whom the buyer mentioned, happened to be one of the witnesses that day. At this time, he was looking at the direction Chu Chen and the others left, feeling very envious that Xiao Ma could get close contact with Chu Chen again.  The buyer's words brought Lao Liang back to his senses. He asked curiously: "What's going on?" The buyer angrily recounted what happened just now and said: "Originally, I trusted that young man.  I¡¯m not 100% sure yet. I didn¡¯t expect them to rent a car together so blatantly!¡± ¡°That¡¯s too huh?¡± Lao Liang was about to agree, but suddenly thought of a possibility and asked quickly: ¡°You said that?  Do young people look like this" As he spoke, he described Chu Chen's appearance.  ? ?Yes, this is this person!  The buyer nodded repeatedly: "Lao Liang, you know him too. It seems that this kid is still a habitual offender!"  " "What kind of crime are you accustomed to!  "Lao Liang slapped his thigh and said with some sadness: "That's Teacher Chu, Lao Chen, you must have missed some treasure!"  " "Which Teacher Chu?  "The buyer was startled, a little confused as to what the situation was.
