Not long after the car drove out, Chu Chen received a call from Chen Dewang. On the phone, Chen Dewang apologized to Chu Chen. Chu Chen generously said that it was okay. After all, this was not what Chen Dewang wanted to see. He would not be evil. The rest is fine. Although Chu Chen said it didn't matter, Chen Dewang still felt very sorry for Chu Chen, because if it weren't for him, Chu Chen wouldn't have been able to buy the things at the market price of 150,000 yuan. After all, Jia Decai's things were for urgent sale. If he sold them It would be good to give it to others without a half discount, and it would be impossible to buy it at the market price anyway. Therefore, Chen Dewang thought to himself that he must thank Chu Chen if he has the opportunity in the future. After hanging up the phone, Chu Chen sent another message to the people who were responsible for inquiring about Jia Decai, asking them to pay attention to Jia Decai's whereabouts. Then, seeing that it was still early, he asked Zuo Shan to take him to his courtyard house. He looked at the progress of the construction. After walking around, he was generally quite satisfied. After lunch, Zuo Shan stayed in the courtyard, and Chu Chen drove back to the antique shop by himself. When he got there, Chu Chen found that Uncle Wu was not there, so he asked Wenping next week, but what surprised him was that Uncle Wu actually went home drunk to rest, which made him very curious. Although Uncle Wu also likes to drink, he is still very restrained when going out, especially when he is in a store. Even if he drinks, he will only drink a small cup. In his memory, Chu Chen has never seen Uncle Wu still drinking in a store. I've been drunk, do you think he wouldn't be curious? Afterwards, Zhou Wenping told Chu Chen the reason for the incident, and then Chu Chen understood what was going on. ????????? Uncle Wu has been in the antique business for so many years. It is impossible to be harmonious with everyone in the industry, but the antique world is not that big at all. Let¡¯s just say that I have met all the antique dealers who are somewhat famous in the antique business in Beijing. I've basically heard about it. Based on the idea of ????lowering your head and not looking up, even if Uncle Wu had a dispute with some antique dealers or disliked each other, he would not act too much. But Uncle Wu hates an antique dealer named Ren Shiguo with a passion. The two sides have become incompatible, and they will fight every chance they get. Speaking of which, Uncle Wu has a good temper and will not get angry easily. He can be said to be a good old man in the antique industry in Beijing. Many people like to deal with him. The fact that Ren Shiguo can make him so angry shows how bad of a person he is. Ren Shiguo also started in the antique business very early. He started running a street stall in the late 1980s. He was shrewd and good at seizing opportunities. Within a few years, he opened a business with the money he earned from several missed opportunities. An antique shop. In fact, Uncle Wu and Ren Shiguo were still good friends at that time. Many of Ren Shiguo's things were sold to Uncle Wu, and Uncle Wu was a relatively honest man, so the prices he gave Ren Shiguo were relatively fair. What¡¯s even more ironic is the shop in Randhi Country Antique Shop. It was Uncle Wu who helped negotiate the deal. After the two turned against each other, this matter has always been a thorn in Uncle Wu's heart. Since Ren Shiguo opened an antique shop. He became more arrogant and no longer acted as cautiously as before. For example, he used to call Uncle Wu Mr. Wu. Ever since he opened the antique shop, Mr. Wu changed his position and became Mr. Wu. This point is nothing to Uncle Wu, but Ren Shiguo's attempt to pry into his business makes Uncle Wu intolerable. Of course, Ren Shiguo also knew that prying would be criticized by others. He usually did it secretly, but once, in front of his face, he pried off the Qing Kangxi colorful Magu birthday plate at a price that Uncle Wu had negotiated. Okay, this made Uncle Wu very angry. What¡¯s more, what made Uncle Wu even more furious was that a week before this, Ren Shiguo sold him a piece of huanghuali furniture from the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, and it turned out to be a ¡°scattered¡± piece of furniture. Santou is also known as "climbing head", which is antiques repair term. It was originally used to evaluate repaired old calligraphy and paintings. In the old furniture industry, it specifically refers to repaired old furniture. It mostly refers to the renovation of damaged and incomplete handicrafts, or repairs to hide people's eyes. "Pick up loose ends" has the meaning of picking up loose things. It can be seen that it has a derogatory connotation in the antique industry. It is different from "restoration". Restoration is public, while "picking up loose ends" is often hidden. Yes, to deceive people. Uncle Wu's friend asked him to buy this piece of huanghuali furniture. Uncle Wu originally didn't give a definite reply because he was not very proficient in appraising classical furniture. Unexpectedly, Ren Shiguo heard the news and told him Uncle Wu had something suitable in his own hands, so he went to see it without thinking too much. During the process of looking at it, Uncle Wu found something wrong, but Ren Shiguo explained it with reasons and guaranteed that the furniture must be authentic. In antiques trading, integrity is the most important thing, and most people will not take what they say as fart, so??Uncle Wu saw that Ren Shiguo could guarantee that the items were genuine, so he bought the items, but he did not expect such a result. What made Uncle Wu even more angry was that when he went to settle the accounts with Ren Shiguo, the other party didn't admit that he had said the truth about fidelity at all. He was so anxious that he actually asked Uncle Wu to produce evidence of what he said. . This matter was originally a gentleman's agreement. How could Uncle Wu get any evidence? He could only suffer a dumb loss and end up paying for it. Since then, Uncle Wu and Ren Shiguo have been facing each other. In the past year, countless conflicts and secret battles have broken out between the two sides. The total amount of money lost by the two is estimated to be at least 100,000. Of course, most of this was contributed by Ren Shiguo. Who said Uncle Wu was a good person and everyone was willing to help him? However, in fact, it was precisely because Uncle Wu was a good person that Ren Shiguo dared to treat him like this. Otherwise, Zhao Xueyi would have set a trap for him long ago. As the old saying goes, if you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing yourself. As more and more people know about Ren Shiguo's character, and in addition to the fact that he has often done things that benefit others at the expense of others over the years, he has also been known more and more. The more antique dealers rejected him, the more he was forced to hang on to his antique shop. As we all know, there is an old saying in the antique shop that "if it does not open for three years, it will last for three years after opening." Ren Shiguo's antique shop can still do business from time to time. It has remained standing all these years. But as the antique market boomed, Ren Shiguo saw many antique dealers around him making big money. I also felt a little anxious, a while ago. By chance, he met a master of imitation porcelain, so he put his mind to this and purchased a batch of high-quality imitation porcelain. Ren Shiguo was not from the capital. He originally planned to sell the high-imitation porcelain and go back to his hometown to open an antique shop. Unexpectedly, it backfired. A buyer discovered that what he bought was high-imitation porcelain. Yesterday afternoon, he went to Ren Shiguo's place. Noisy. As a result, this matter spread immediately. This morning, some buyers came to his store and asked to return the goods. Some even called the police, saying that they would send him to jail. After hearing the ins and outs of the incident, Chu Chen gloated and asked: "Where is Ren Shiguo now?" Zhou Wenping shook his head: "Many people are looking for him, but no one has been found. It is said that he has gone away. , Now some buyers have come to his house to block the door. If it weren't for the fact that there are still old people living in his house, maybe all his belongings have been emptied. " Chu Chen chuckled. Anyway, even if this matter can be resolved in the end, Ren Shiguo will still regret it. Not good, such a thing. He was still very happy to hear it. While they were talking, the two saw an old customer named Wang Ruyang walking in. After Wang Ruyang greeted the two of them, he said slightly excitedly: "Did you know? Something happened again in Ren Shiguo's store." Both of them thought he was talking about antique porcelain. They all nodded. Wang Ruyang said with a smile: "If you ask me, Ren Shiguo deserves it. It doesn't matter if he sells it piecemeal, but he actually bought more than a hundred pieces at a time. Now it's better, people are hiding, and the store has been emptied." Hearing this, Chu Chen asked strangely: "Every store has been vacated?" "Ah! Don't you know?" Wang Ruyang was a little confused when he heard this. Zhou Wenping said: "We thought you were talking about antique porcelain, why did you involve the antique shop again?" "Oh!" Wang Ruyang suddenly realized, and then said excitedly: "I was talking about someone breaking it open just now. The door of Ren Shiguo's antique store was emptied of everything, not even a small bench was spared. "Isn't there anyone taking care of it?" Chu Chen and Zhou Wenping were quite surprised. "Who cares about the character of the country when he takes office?" Wang Ruyang spread his hands and said: "I heard that the person who broke down the door also had some background, and the thing he bought was for giving gifts, but he gave a fake. Do you think you won't be angry? " Chu Chen shrugged when he heard this. Although he didn't like things to be done so outrageously, Ren Shiguo's actions also followed the old saying that you can forgive yourself for doing evil. Everyone expressed their opinions on the matter of Ren Shiguo. Wang Ruyang took out a small gourd, placed it in front of Chu Chen, and said: "Teacher Chu, I just bought a hand-twisted gourd. Could you please help me comment on it?" ?¡± ¡°No problem.¡± Chu Chen nodded with a smile and took the gourd in his hand. In recent years, my country¡¯s traditional ¡°artifact gourd¡± has become more and more popular among players in the large and small antique collection and other markets in Beijing. Since the pronunciation of the gourd is similar to "Fu Lu", it has the auspicious meaning of wealth and longevity. It has been a traditional mascot of our country since ancient times. In my country's traditional architecture, the gourd shape is also a common decorative element. Traditional Taoism even regards the gourd as a sacred dharma.device. Due to the unique auspicious meaning of gourds, with the booming development of antique collections, the small and cute hand-twisted gourds are now increasingly sought after by players. For a time, cultural gourds gradually began to appear in the entertainment circles of the old capital. To have a role to play. The gourds in the market are roughly divided into play gourds, ornamental gourds, painted gourds, special-shaped gourds, song gourds, etc. Wang Ruyang¡¯s gourd is a pyrography gourd. As the name suggests, the pattern on the pyrography gourd is burned (hot) with a modified electric soldering iron, so it is only black. The paintings above are mainly divided into: landscapes, characters, animals, ancient myths, ancient spiritual animals (such as dragons, phoenixes, unicorns, three-legged crows, etc.) and other auspicious patterns. The theme decoration of this gourd is the Three Immortals of Fortune, Luxu and Shou. The painting is quite exquisite. Chu Chen used a vernier caliper to measure the height. It should be said that although hand-twisted gourds of this height are not uncommon, they require the use of a soldering iron. Among the pyrography gourds of painting, they are rare. Think about it, if the author does not have superb skills, it will be very difficult to complete the drawing and reflect the artistic value. Chu Chen admired the gourd in his hand and said with a smile: "Mr. Wang, the painted gourd you chose is very good." Wang Ruyang was very happy that his thing could be recognized by Chu Chen, and he gave it to Chu Chen. He cupped his hands and said: "Please give me some advice from Teacher Chu." "Then let me tell you my opinion." Chu Chen explained: "First of all, the wall of your gourd is thick, smooth and glossy. This kind of gourd will grow over time. It will automatically change color over time. A gourd like this lasts a long time and will not break as long as it is not dropped. It can be stored for a long time. " "Moreover, the pyrography effect of such a gourd will also last for a long time. It appears copper-colored instead of the original black color. The gourds with poor quality have thin walls and are easily damaged. Not to mention lack of luster, they will not change color no matter how long they last. The traces of the branding are just black and there will be no copper-colored marks" (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
