    After putting their things in the car, everyone was about to drive away when they saw someone driving over again. Chu Chen also knew this person. He was a relatively senior collector in the capital. He had briefly communicated with this person several times before.  It can only be regarded as an acquaintance.  Chu Chen smiled at him, and then drove away. When the car passed the door, he heard the collector asking Lao Chang whether the painting was kept for him.  Lao Chang patted his chest and promised that since it was the collector who ordered it, he would definitely keep the painting. After saying that, he took the collector into his house.  After the car had driven a distance, Wu Ke said with a speechless expression: "That Lao Chang is so shameless. He actually told lies with his eyes open! By the way, do you know that person too?" Chu Chen nodded: "I've met before.  "How's his eyesight? Can you tell that the painting is 'revealing the second floor'?"  I think it¡¯s more likely that he won¡¯t be able to see the quality of that painting.¡± ¡°That¡¯s it! Isn¡¯t that going to be another attack by that old man?¡± ¡°It¡¯s very possible.¡±  After hearing this, he felt a little unhappy and said: "I feel uncomfortable when I see this guy making money that he doesn't care about. Tell me, if we told that person before that there was a problem with the painting, what would Old Chang's expression be like?" Chu Chen laughed and said:  "What kind of expression could it be? Of course he was so angry that his face turned green" In fact, he still had one sentence left to say. If he did, not only would Lao Chang be angry, but the Tibetan friend would also be likely to offend.  In the antique shop, you know that the things the other person plays or buys are not old.  I don't want to say that something is wrong. This situation is common.  This does not mean that everyone is unwilling to tell the truth.  It's due to practical factors.  Regardless of the past or the future of this society, although everyone is willing to listen to the truth and listen to the truth.  But in fact, once you really say it, you will get a lot of abuse in return.  Although everyone knows that good medicine is bitter to the mouth, it is good for the disease, and honest advice is hard to the ears but good for action. Although everyone knows this, only a few people accept and learn from it. Even if they accept it on the surface, in fact, it goes in one ear and out the other.  In addition to human nature, the second reason is that antiques often involve money, and some things are even priceless treasures.  Once money interests are involved, anything can happen.  Like the situation just now, if the collector thought that Chu Chen said that because he wanted to take possession of the painting, he would undoubtedly have done something bad with good intentions.  And, because of this, antique appraisal, a matter involving interests, also has corresponding rules.  For example, when appraising antiques, it is usually the authority that has the final say.  The identification results of things.  It is often determined based on the degree of authority in the industry. To use a simple analogy, if a front-line expert says something is right, then even if the thing is wrong.  Second-line experts will not deny his results.  In addition, appraisal experts generally do not contradict each other. If an appraisal expert has issued an appraisal report and appraisal price.  Even if other colleagues who are not teachers and students have opinions, they generally will not undermine it publicly.  Instead, they will choose to communicate privately.  Precisely because of the above two reasons, if Chu Chen appraises together with the seniors.  He always reads it first, and in the end, he speaks first, so that if the seniors say something wrong, it will be inconvenient for him to change their words.  In addition, some experts will help cover each other when doing appraisals.  For example, there is an expert who has a high reputation, but he only knows how to do research and cannot identify physical objects, while another expert is invincible in actual identification, but because of his reputation, others do not like to approach him for identification, so the two  People work together to appraise each other, and each gets what he needs.  The last rule is actually related to the human nature just mentioned, that is, the identification results must satisfy the customer.  As long as the imitation is not too outrageous, everything will be "old", saving you worry and effort, and both the buyer and the seller will be happy.  Therefore, antique appraisal requires experts, but you cannot rely on them, let alone blindly believe in them. Otherwise, you may suffer a loss, or even a big loss.  In fact, although Chu Chen did not elaborate on this kind of thing, Wu Ke, who had been exposed to it since childhood, could guess it. She laughed and said: "In this world, there are few true gentlemen and many hypocrites. These people can only eat a lot of food."  Only then can they have a long memory." Speaking of this, she suddenly thought of something and said with a smile: "Achen, why did you say you wanted to buy all the copper ink cartridges without even looking at them?  What's the secret?" Chu Chen couldn't tell the truth about this matter, so he said: "What's the secret? I just feel that the current price of the copper ink cartridge does not reflect its true value, so I'm going to  I¡¯ll buy it and keep it.¡± Wu Ke agreed with Chu Chen¡¯s words. She asked, ¡°How much can it go up?¡±After thinking for a while, he said: "I think in a few years, the copper ink cartridges that Master Chen participated in making just now should be worth 50,000 to 60,000 yuan." "No, can it increase so much?" Wu Ke was quite surprised.  A single copper ink cartridge is worth 50,000 to 60,000 yuan, and these 50 or 60 copper ink cartridges must be worth at least one million. And the money spent to buy these copper ink cartridges is only 100,000 yuan. The speed of making money is really amazing.  "I'm not sure whether it can rise so much, but I think so and there is a basis for it." Chu Chen explained with a smile: "First of all, although there are more people collecting copper ink cartridges, it has not yet formed a  This can be seen from the market price of copper ink cartridges. In other words, the entire collecting community has not paid enough attention to copper ink cartridges. The collection status of copper ink cartridges is extremely inconsistent with its artistic and historical added value.  "Under the conditions of market economy, antiques can only realize their true value after being researched, promoted, circulated, auctioned, and speculated" Hearing this,  Wu Ke said: "Oh, I understand what you mean. When people start to notice the collection value of copper ink cartridges, the value of copper ink cartridges will begin to rise. But how can you be so sure that someone will do it in a few years?  Have you begun to notice the value of copper ink cartridges? " Chu Chen smiled slightly: "It's a lot less than a lot of antiques. Antiques in the golden age of troubled times. Now many people, especially wealthy bosses, are starting to get involved in this industry. It's a good thing.  Sooner or later, they will all be sold out, and the products on the market that were not previously favored by everyone will come into everyone¡¯s sight. So I think that exquisitely crafted stationery items like copper ink cartridges will definitely be popular with everyone  ¡­¡± Since the copper ink cartridge was a stationery item, after its appearance, it was deeply loved by the literati and even celebrities at that time. When they got a beautiful copper ink cartridge, they often wrote poems and paintings on it, and then asked craftsmen to paint the poems and paintings on it.  Carve it down.  Some literati also engraved their works on copper ink cartridges and gave them to relatives and friends.  At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, ink cartridges became an object played by literati and dignitaries. At that time, it was considered a fashion to obtain a fine ink cartridge, and it became a common practice.  Because the copper ink cartridge is small, drawing and writing on it must be very careful and careful. Therefore, the works on the copper ink cartridge are usually the author's fine works and masterpieces, and because the metal is not easily damaged, this is the basis for long-term preservation.  Precisely because of its long-term preservation characteristics, copper ink cartridges have become gifts and souvenirs for celebrating birthdays, weddings, academic achievements, and other important events.  Such as "So-and-so Yawan", "So-and-so Yazheng", "So-and-so's Founding Commemoration", etc. Therefore, the engraved copper ink cartridge has become a glorious page in the modern history of our country. It is related to many important events and important figures.  This also gives copper ink cartridges a profound cultural connotation. During the period when copper ink cartridges were popular, almost everyone who wrote had to use them. People use things because of their use, and things are valuable because of people. Some of the remaining ink cartridges can be unearthed.  Many stories, which also increase the collectible value of the copper cartridge.  "Such as this, there are many reasons why copper ink cartridges are worth collecting, so I think that before long, the price of copper ink cartridges will definitely reflect its due value." Chu Chen continued: "Of course, just like antiques, there are good and bad  The same is true for copper ink cartridges. Generally speaking, copper ink cartridges with fine carvings are worth collecting. Those with rough carvings can be discarded, but you must pay attention to clarify what is rough. For example, Qi Baishi's paintings, with just a few strokes, look like they are rough.  It's very thick, but it's actually very delicate. " "In addition, it also depends on the material quality of the copper ink cartridge. The copper ink cartridge is of high quality and its luster remains unchanged even after being viewed with a high-power magnifying glass.  And impurities. Most of them are used by famous people, but the quality is much worse, and they have basically no collection value" Next, Chu Chen talked about some things that need to be paid attention to when collecting copper ink cartridges, etc.  The two got off the car at the entrance of the hotel, and he happened to tell Wu Ke all this.  Xiang Facai's car stopped early, and he just listened to the end, and said with a smile: "Teacher Chu, since you bought so many copper ink cartridges this time, can you explain a few to me?" Chu Chen smiled  He nodded and said: "That's no problem." Xiang Facai said happily: "Then let's eat first, and we'll talk about this in your shop after dinner." "Okay" After a sumptuous lunch, everyone  Just drive to Chu Chen¡¯s antique shop.  When Chu Chen and Duan Xuefeng arrived at the store carrying the box of copper ink cartridges, they found that Yuan Hongjian was also in the store today. At this time, he, Uncle Wu and others may have just had lunch and were drinking tea and chatting.  After greeting him warmly, Yuan Hongjian smiled and asked: "ChuTeacher, what is this box of yours?  " "A box of copper ink cartridges.  " "Copper cartridge?  "Everyone felt a little strange after hearing Chu Chen's answer. Why did Chu Chen suddenly think of collecting copper ink cartridges? Seeing everyone's strange expressions, Chu Chen smiled and said, "I happened to meet him too, plus I thought copper ink cartridges  There was good room for appreciation, so I bought them all.  "(To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
