In the afternoon, the nearby stores may have heard the news. Some stores even stopped doing business and came to ask Chu Chen and Qiao Qingtai for advice. In the end, they became  A small antique exchange meeting.  Fortunately, during this process, everyone was in relatively good order, and Chu Chen and Qiao Qingtai were not affected in any way.  The next day, Chu Chen listened to Qiao Qingtai's suggestion and went to the bank to withdraw 200,000 yuan in cash. However, Chu Chen felt a little strange about this request. Although 200,000 yuan was a lot, it was obvious that he wanted to take a photo of a national treasure.  It's impossible.  However, Qiao Qingtai did not answer this question directly. He smiled and said that the money was prepared for Chu Chen himself. As for the money to purchase the national treasure, arrangements will be made in due course.  So Chu Chen didn't ask any more questions.  After withdrawing the money, the three of them chatted in the hotel while waiting for the person to pick them up. However, it was not until they had lunch that the person called them and said they were waiting for them downstairs.  Before going downstairs, Zuo Shan simply put on makeup for Chu Chen.  It must be said that Zuo Shan's makeup skills are really amazing. After a few simple touches, Chu Chen seemed to be a different person. But if he looked at the photo, the other person would not doubt that Chu Chen was not the same person in the photo.  The three of them went downstairs. According to the information on the phone, they came to an old Santana.  I saw the driver sitting in the driving position.  He is a young man with the kind of appearance that you would not be able to find in a crowd.  The young man first looked at the three of them, and his eyes stayed on Zuo Shan for a long time.  It made Zuo Shan very uncomfortable and made Chu Chen very impatient.  Of course, this is also because he is now playing a rich kid from the capital, so he has to show some arrogance.  Seeing Chu Chen's appearance, the young man seemed to realize that Zuo Shan was Chu Chen's bodyguard, and it was normal for him to have a special temperament. Moreover, he did not feel any danger from it, so he changed his smile.  He said hello to the three people, introduced himself, and then quickly invited the three people to get in the car.  As the car started to move, the young man drove and chatted with the three of them. During this period, he also talked about some rules of the black market. These rules may be unfamiliar to newcomers, but to Chu Chen and Qiao Qingtai,  For a veteran.  It couldn't be more familiar.  As the car moved forward, the surrounding area became more and more remote. About half an hour later, the car came to a building near a small mountain col.  In front of a house that looks a bit like a small villa in the countryside, it looks quite big.  When Chu Chen and the others arrived, several cars were already parked nearby.  If someone who didn't know about it passed by, they would think that this family was doing something festive today.  Got out of the car.  Everyone felt that the five or six people patrolling around them were looking at them. It was obvious that the organizer of this antique black market was quite careful.  Seeing this, Chu Chen understood clearly.  The more careful the organizer is, the more reassured the guests will feel and the safer the guests will be.  When the group was about to enter the courtyard, they saw three guards standing at the door.  The guards looked at Chu Chen and others, and the young man took out a note from his pocket and handed it to one of them. When the other person saw the content on the note, his serious expression seemed to relax, and then he looked at Zuo Shanshou.  carrying travel bag.  Although Chu Chen knew what this meant, his expression looked a little dazed because he had to hide his identity. Seeing this, the young man seemed to be more cheerful, and he quickly stepped forward and said, all he had to do was show the money.  Zuo Shan opened the bag and showed it to the person he just signaled to. The other person immediately showed a lot of respect. He quickly took out a small red plastic round sign from his pocket and handed it to Chu Chen. According to the young man, this  The small round card is a symbol of status. The color of the card depends on how much money you bring.  Judging from the guard's performance, giving Chu Chen this piece should indicate a high status.  Next, the guard yawned slightly and invited everyone into the house. However, the young man did not follow him in. He said he was waiting for them outside. Chu Chen and the others did not pay attention to this.  When the three of them walked into the room, someone took them and arranged their seats.  The seats were a little to the side, but there was nothing they could do about it. They might have arrived a little late, and the seats in the middle were already full.  After taking a brief look at the surrounding layout, Chu Chen found that this place was actually similar to the black market that his uncle Zhao Qirui took him to.  At this time, I heard Qiao Qingtai whisper: "Xiao Chu, in fact, there are basically no good things in this auction. Even if there are, most of the auction prices will not be too high.The two hundred thousand you brought should be more than enough.  Depending on your eyesight, if there is something really good, you can probably make a fortune.  " Chu Chen couldn't help but be slightly startled after hearing what Qiao Qingtai said. Then he immediately realized that this place should be the same as the black market that his uncle took him to last time. The first game was just a warm-up, and the second game was the highlight. Chu Chen smiled  Said: "Mr. Qiao, are you not interested in this auction at all?  " Qiao Qingtai smiled and shook his head: "If I can take a photo of that thing this time, my merits will be complete. I won't think about anything else for now.  And it¡¯s not safe for us to carry too much cash.  " Chu Chen was a little surprised when he heard this and asked: "Mr. Qiao, could something worse happen in the black market here?  " Qiao Qingtai nodded and said: "Since it is a black market, there are people from all walks of life. Last year, someone was robbed on the way back after the auction because they brought too much money.  Although it was no longer within the protection scope of the black market organizer at that time, because the person who robbed it was a staff member of the black market, in addition to damaging the reputation of the organizer, it also caused panic among those participating in the black market auction.  "Actually, for the sake of their own reputation, the organizer is still very strict about safety. What Qiao Qingtai said is relatively rare, but because Qiao Qingtai asked Chu Chen for help in today's matter, of course he has to pay more attention to Chu Chen's safety.  Some, otherwise, he would not bring more cash. Chu Chen also thought of Qiao Qingtai's idea. He smiled and said: "Mr. Qiao, since the things here are average, two hundred thousand is more than enough. After a while,  If you come across something you like, even if you bid well, wouldn't it be a pity if you don't buy it in the end and the money is left?  " "Don't worry, I won't be polite when the time comes.  " Qiao Qingtai smiled slightly. As for whether he would speak when he saw something he liked, it was unclear. After a while, a middle-aged auctioneer came up to the stage and talked about the fixed process.  With these words, the auction officially began. The items were all the same as Qiao Qingtai said. They were all ordinary goods and looked tattered. Very few people would sell such things even on street stalls, but let  What surprised Chu Chen was that there were still people bidding, and usually only one person would bid for an item, and the price was always one thousand. Seeing Chu Chen¡¯s puzzled look, Qiao Qingtai said with a smile: ¡°This is it.  According to the rules of the black market boss, if you still want to participate in the auction, no matter whether you want to see it or not, you have to buy something, and the price must not be less than one thousand.  Some people don't want to put in the extra effort, so they just take pictures of some of the junk at the beginning to make up the numbers.  Xiao Chu, if you don¡¯t want to go to trouble, you can also take a photo and save some money.  " Chu Chen shook his head directly: "Although one thousand is not much, I will not waste it on such goods. Our good steel must be used on the blade.  " Qiao Qingtai smiled slightly, and then looked towards the stage. At this time, the tatters on the stage began to disappear, and the starting price of the auction items became higher and higher. Soon, a work by a well-known calligrapher arrived, and the starting price also reached  Five thousand. However, the auctioneer boasted for a long time and shouted so hard that Chu Chen felt that his throat was about to smoke, but no one said a word. In the end, the auction had to be unsuccessful. Of course, the auction here was unsuccessful.  Unlike regular auction companies, which will return the items to their original owners, these unsold items will eventually appear at the next black market auction. Only after several auctions, or the appraiser feels that they cannot be auctioned, will they be sold.  It will be spread to the general antique market. The auction items on the stage are changing one after another, but except for the few tatters at the beginning, few people may be interested in the following items.  I feel that the chances of picking up leaks on the black market are very high. In fact, this is an illusion. It is true that the things on the black market are so cheap, but there are not many opportunities to pick up leaks. You have to know that for a black market person,  As far as the organizer is concerned, in such a dangerous business and taking great risks, there must be considerable profits no matter what. The organizer is not a fool. The appraisal of antiques must be a top priority. Even if it is a masterpiece,  It seems that it has to be squeezed out of its value, and it will not end hastily like the so-called famous calligraphy work just now. Of course, it is impossible to say that there is no fish in it, but for those who have special powers.  For Chu Chen, even if he did, he couldn't escape his feeling. After the auction was over, the auctioneer announced that it would pause for a while and start again after a few minutes of rest. So, everyone went to the toilet, smoked, and chatted.  They are all buyers who come together. After all, this is a black market, so everyone will still be considerate. Maybe some buyers just come in the second half. When the auctioneer comes back on stage, Chu Chen will come.Now, there are a few new faces in the room, but everyone doesn't care. As long as it doesn't hinder their interests, no matter how many people come, it will be fine.  The items in the second half were much better than the first half. As soon as the auction started, several bronzes in good condition were put on the stage.  And everyone's reaction was different from the first half. As long as an item was put on stage, there would be several people on stage to verify its authenticity.  (My novel "The Treasure Appraisal Life" will have more fresh content on the official WeChat platform, and there will also be a 100% lucky draw gift for everyone!
