    Zhao Qirui shook his head and said: "So that's what happened. These people are really doing everything they can!" Chu Chen nodded and said: "Speaking of fake Opals, there is now an imitation 'Opal Essence'.  The opal is actually a plate-shaped crystal with changing colors surrounded by a glass-like substance. This kind of thing can be seen clearly with a microscope or a high-power magnifying glass. Moreover, the specific gravity and refractive index of the crystal are higher than that of real opal.  There is a big difference in comparison. It is relatively simple to identify. " Jiang Jiachang smiled bitterly and said: "It is simple for an expert like you, Mr. Chu. Just like this necklace of mine, it is easy to identify.  It¡¯s very easy to learn, but I didn¡¯t understand it before so I couldn¡¯t help it.¡± ¡°You¡¯ll learn a lesson after learning it!¡± Zhao Qirui patted Jiang Jiachang on the shoulder and said, ¡°But, how could you have thought of it?  Buying an opal necklace? " "Hey! My little girl has been clamoring for it. It's her birthday soon, so I bought a necklace for her. " Jiang Jiachang explained: "I bought the necklace at that time.  I happened to see these three pieces of jade jewelry and thought they were good, so I bought them. Unexpectedly, they were all genuine, but the owner had something wrong with me later! I'm going to ask him what he meant.  I¡¯ve been doing business with him for so many years, and he actually dared to lie to me!¡± At the end of the sentence, he couldn¡¯t restrain his anger.  Originally, he asked Chu Chen to help look at the jade, just to confirm the quality of the jade. He never thought that the other party would sell him a fake, but the result was like this. How could he not be furious!  Zhao Qirui smiled and said: "Fat Jiang, what's the point of being angry? Maybe the other party made a mistake for something? Aren't you angry for nothing?" Jiang Jiachang actually didn't think that the seller would be stupid enough to lie to him, and this  A necklace is not expensive.  If you lie to him because of this, you will lose more than you gain.  After hearing this, he nodded and said: "I hope so, otherwise I want him to look good" After Jiang Jiachang put away the jewelry, everyone talked for a while about fishing porcelain from the sea, but they didn't see the real thing.  It¡¯s not convenient to go into details. As for the origin of the things, Zhao Qirui didn¡¯t ask much. As the saying goes, cats have catwalks.  Rats have their own way, so it¡¯s better not to ask about this kind of thing, otherwise it will appear that you don¡¯t understand the rules.  When the time was almost up, the group headed to the club. After entering, they sat in their usual seats, drinking tea and chatting about other things.  As time goes by, guests come in one after another.  However, Chu Chen, who was careful, discovered that some of the guests who had been here in the morning were missing, and there were some unfamiliar faces.  He guessed that it was likely that these people were only interested in the morning or afternoon auctions.  That¡¯s why I came here with a choice.  As the auction was approaching, Chu Chen saw an old man who looked energetic walking in, followed by a middle-aged man who looked well-dressed.     but.  What made Chu Chen a little curious was that Zhao Heyan seemed to know the middle-aged man.  And when she saw this person, her eyes were full of disgust.  And when the middle-aged man saw them.  Chu Chen also clearly felt that this man was stunned, but he immediately followed the old man and sat down on a seat inside.  "Xiaoyan, do you know this person?" Wu Ke also felt that the atmosphere was a little strange, so he asked curiously.  Zhao Heyan curled her lips: "That's my mother's relative. It looks sanctimonious, but actually haha!" Chu Chen had made a guess before, and the truth was exactly what he thought, using what Jiang Jiachang said in the morning.  To put it bluntly, people really cannot be judged by their appearance.  However, what happened to this person should have nothing to do with them. This can be seen from Gao Yiya's relatively indifferent attitude towards this person.  Like in the morning, when the auctioneer walked up to the podium with a smile on his face, the scene immediately became much quieter.  The auctioneer said something in a routine manner, and when the first lot appeared on the screen, the afternoon auction officially began.  In the afternoon auction, there were a total of more than thirty items to be auctioned, among which bronzes, calligraphy and painting works accounted for the majority, and the lowest starting price and the highest starting price were both calligraphy and painting works.  Because the auction is in rice yuan, the lowest converted price is Fan Kuan's "Summer Mountain High Hidden Picture", with a starting price of almost 5,000 RMB, and the highest one is Shi Tao's "Five Hundred Arhats", with a starting price of  It¡¯s almost half a million RMB, which is exactly a hundred times the difference between the two.  The first items to be auctioned were bronzes. Although most of these bronzes were unearthed cultural relics, Chu Chen's performance was not as intense as in the morning.  It¡¯s not that Chu Chen didn¡¯t want to take the photo, but when he was paying at noon, a steward came over and asked him to do something nice in the afternoon.  For this reason, the steward also proposed that Chu Chen could purchase two national treasure-level bronzes at a more favorable price.  Of course Chu Chen didn¡¯t agree immediately.?, after some haggling, we finally got one more item, but the other party requested that the transaction must be completed after the auction.  Since he said this, of course Chu Chen also asked the other party to establish written evidence, otherwise it would be empty words. This is not Chu Chen's territory, and it would be troublesome to regret it later.  Speaking of which, Chu Chen felt a little pity about this, but there was nothing he could do about it. After all, this was the other party's territory. When the auction came, they would have to find someone to buy the things. They could still sell them next time, and the other party might also suffer from this.  What dangerous actions may be taken.  In this case, it is also a wise choice to choose to be safe.  Of course, even though he agreed to the other party's request, Chu Chen would not shrink back. When he encounters something he likes or has a relatively high value, he will also participate in the bidding. For the auction company, it doesn't matter how many pieces Chu Chen takes.  Just keep it within a certain amount.  The auction was held lively and fiercely. During this period, Zhao Qirui and Jiang Jiachang also made several moves and made some gains.  Since there are not many calligraphy and painting works available, the auction interspersed several heavyweight bronzes with the auction of calligraphy and painting works, so that the atmosphere at the scene never fluctuated.  "Dear gentlemen and ladies, we are honored to invite our famous collector and appraiser Mr. Li from Haojing to this auction. Mr. Li is one of the top connoisseurs of calligraphy and painting in the world, please.  He introduced us to the next lot - Shi Tao's "Five Hundred Arhats"" Just as the auction was more than halfway through, the auctioneer gave an enthusiastic introduction.  As soon as he finished speaking, there was a discussion in the audience.  This is Mr. Li in the auctioneer's mouth.  He is indeed the top calligraphy and painting appraisal expert in Haojing, and a well-known figure in the antiques world of Haojing.  However, the reputation of this person is not very good. The main reason is that this person is too greedy for money. It often costs a lot of money to have him appraise a painting.  However, there is one good thing about this person. If he accepts your money, things will be done well, and he is indeed quite powerful, after so many years.  Except for mistakes in the first few years, up to now, there has been no mistake in any painting, which shows the level of appraisal.  "Now, let us welcome Mr. Li with warm applause!" After saying that, the auctioneer took the lead in applauding, and while the guests in the audience applauded, they all looked towards the door.  Everyone wanted to witness the grace of Mr. Li.  After a while, a lean old man in a Tang suit came out of the entrance where the auctioneer had just entered.  This person is exactly what the auctioneer called Mr. Li.  After Mr. Li took the stage, he signaled to everyone, and then looked at the "Five Hundred Arhats Picture" that appeared on the screen behind him.  Let¡¯s start introducing it to you in detail.  "Hey! Even old man Li was invited, so the president is willing to spend money." Seeing Jiang Jiachang's disdainful look when he spoke.  Zhao Qirui asked with a smile: "Why, do you have a conflict with this person named Li?" Jiang Jiachang smiled and said: "It can't be said to be a conflict. It's just that through a friend's relationship, I asked Old Man Li to identify it.  For a piece of Chinese painting, he asked me for 100,000 yuan as soon as he opened his mouth. He also boasted that if the thing was genuine, his fame would be more than 100,000 yuan. " "If my painting was bought for tens or even millions, it would be worth it.  It doesn't matter, but I bought that painting for 10,000 yuan. If it is authenticated, the market value is only tens of thousands of yuan. I don't believe that just because Old Man Li authenticated it, the value can be increased by 10,000 yuan out of thin air.  Ten thousand." Chu Chen was a little surprised when he heard this and said, "No, does it cost one hundred thousand for everyone to ask him to appraise something?" Jiang Jiachang laughed: "Don't say one hundred thousand, no matter how expensive it is.  , but he also charged the appraisal fee based on a combination of factors such as the condition and value of the thing. The main reason why he charged 100,000 for my painting was that he didn¡¯t know the author of the painting, and I  He has a small fortune, so he is very open-minded. " "Then you let him appraise it?" Zhao Qirui asked.  "Of course not, I'm not a fool." Jiang Jiachang sneered: "Later I went to another expert for appraisal, and it turned out that the painting was just painted by a famous painter in the Qing Dynasty. The market value  The maximum is only 50,000. And the expert also said that with Old Man Li¡¯s ability, he can basically tell who the artist is when he sees this painting. Do you think he is evil or not? "Since everyone agrees with this,  Mr. Li already knew the value of the painting, so the asking price of 100,000 yuan was too much. Moreover, if Jiang Jiachang agreed and knew the result, even if he wanted to blame him, he could shirk it with various reasons.  While everyone was talking, Mr. Li had almost finished the introduction. Although he had not yet reached a conclusion, he said that the painting was authentic.    This left Chu Chen very speechless. Since Mr. Li's appraisal level was so high, Chu Chen didn't want to believe that he couldn't tell the authenticity and caused this situation, but he must have "collected money to do things."  .  At this time, Jiang Jiachang said: "However, although Old Man Li is desperate for money, his level is still acceptable, and our antique community also agrees with the results he gave. It seems that the transaction price of this painting is definitely  It can¡¯t be cheaper.¡± After hearing this, Chu Chen and the others had smiles on their faces.  Seeing this situation, Jiang Jiachang asked strangely: "What, did I say something wrong?" Zhao Heyan chuckled and said: "Uncle Fatty, my brother appraised this painting in detail yesterday, and it is not authentic at all.  "What?" Jiang Jiachang exclaimed, because the sound was so loud that even the guests sitting next to him looked over.  "Keep your voice down!" Zhao Qirui patted him heavily on the shoulder.  "Hey! Sorry, sorry! I was just too surprised." Jiang Jiachang immediately realized that he was wrong and apologized to everyone. Then he still looked a little surprised and asked: "Is it really a fake?" "It's not a fake.  , I think it should be Zhang Daqian's imitation, and its collection value is still very high, but it can't be compared with the original" Chu Chen then briefly stated some reasons.  Jiang Jiachang was stunned for a moment after hearing this, but the disbelief in his eyes did not subside much. The reason why he behaved like this was mainly because Zhao Qirui did not introduce Chu Chen in detail just now. Therefore, he now only knows that Chu Chen is  Stone betting expert.  Besides, it was incredible to him that Chu Chen was an expert in stone betting at such a young age. It was completely unimaginable for him to have another expert in calligraphy and painting appraisal.  Zhao Heyan snorted: "Uncle Fatty, I think you should watch "Collection of the World" on Beijing TV. My brother is the appraisal expert invited by this program." "Huh?" Jiang Jiachang was stunned after hearing this.  .  Zhao Qirui smiled and said: "Stop it, gambling on stones is just Achen's side job. He is mainly in the antique business, and he is also a close disciple of Mr. Liu." Jiang Jiachang looked at everyone in disbelief, and saw  He really didn't mean to be joking, so he scratched his head and said with a wry smile: "The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. Compared with Mr. Chu, I feel really old." Zhao Qirui said with a smile: "Okay, don't compare with my nephew.  "Compared with him, let alone you, I will be ashamed." Chu Chen quickly said modestly that what his uncle said was too exaggerated. He is just more talented in this industry, but he can't compare with everyone in other industries.  Hearing what Chu Chen said, Wu Ke secretly laughed. With Chu Chen¡¯s photographic memory, he could basically learn the knowledge of many industries instantly, and after practicing it, he would be qualified for the job.  Of course, it would be too private not to mention this matter, and in order to prevent everyone from being deeply shocked, she would not say it out loud, hehe!  After sighing with emotion, Jiang Jiachang quickly came back to his senses and asked: "Mr. Chu, according to what you said, Old Man Li is using people's money to eliminate disasters for others?" Chu Chen shrugged his shoulders: "This  Is there any need to talk about it? However, the boundaries of calligraphy and painting appraisal are too blurred. It's completely public opinion, and mother-in-law is right. Unless Zhang Daqian comes alive and admits it, there will still be a war of words. Moreover, even if this person is right.  Mr. Li lost in the end, and he could use various excuses to excuse himself. If someone else helps, his reputation will not be greatly affected. " Jiang Jiachang thought about it, and it was really like this. It's a pity.  Said: "Hey! What a pity. I originally wanted to disgust Old Man Li, but it seems that it won't work."
