    After hearing what happened, Chu Chen couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, as long as this improved slurry was not in the hands of Cai Jianxuan and his group.  £€f Dingdian Novel, otherwise the recipe for this kind of slurry will definitely be spread out, and then the antique market will really be full of fakes, and this industry will be ruined.  At this time, Chu Chen suddenly thought of a question and asked: "Master, when was this operation carried out?" "Early this morning." Mr. Liu added: "The location is at the border between Beijing and Yan Province.  "This is wrong!" Chu Chen frowned, there was something he couldn't figure out.  "What's wrong?" Mr. Liu asked curiously.  Chu Chen said with a smile: "Cai Jianxuan and his group definitely don't have the ability to predict the future, so what does today mean" Originally, Chu Chen thought that the time for action was a few days ago, so Cai Jianxuan and his group may feel that there is too much pressure.  That¡¯s why today¡¯s ¡°gift giving¡± was arranged as a warning.  But now he learned from Mr. Liu that the operation was carried out today. What did the several pieces of porcelain confiscated mean?  Chu Chen sneered and said: "Cai Jianxuan and his gang are really well-calculated. While warning, they are still shipping goods. They are not worried at all that we will be angry." After listening to what Chu Chen said, Mr. Liu also realized  This is a problem, and it is obviously impossible for Cai Jianxuan's mind to think of this.  It may be said that these porcelains are going to wait for a while before being shipped, but the person in charge said that the porcelains have been reserved and will be handed over to the buyers tomorrow.  In this case, why do these two things need to be done together?  Did Cai Jianxuan think they couldn't find it?  But there is an old saying that goes well, if you want to know what others don¡¯t know.  Unless you do nothing, now that you have done it.  There is always a chance of being discovered.  ¡°Besides, it¡¯s possible before that guy gets on the plane.  They got news of the operation early this morning, so why didn't they stop it?  Aren't they worried about self-defeating?  Although it was possible that they were unaware of it, various unusual behaviors still made Chu Chen and Mr. Liu think of a possibility.  After pondering for a moment, Mr. Liu laughed: "It seems that this group of people is not working together. This is indeed good news for us." Chu Chen agreed with a smile, since this group of people is likely to be at odds with each other.  and, it is possible to break it from the inside.  As the saying goes.  The strongest fortress is often the easiest to be breached from the inside. Perhaps today's discovery is an opportunity to uproot this gang.  At this time, Chu Chen looked at the porcelain on the table and suddenly thought of a question and said: "Master, where do you think these porcelains will be produced?" "It seems that you have thought of it too." Mr. Liu laughed and said: "  If it weren't for the discovery of these porcelains today and the fact that the man had met Cai Jianxuan who had returned to China a month ago, he would have almost fooled him. He would have returned home quietly. How brave that man was!  Do you have any explanation, where is Cai Jianxuan?" Chu Chen was very excited after hearing this and asked subconsciously.  But as soon as he asked the question, he remembered that he had asked nonsense, if there was any news about Cai Jianxuan.  The master had already told him.  Mr. Liu¡¯s answer also confirmed Chu Chen¡¯s thoughts. The person in charge didn¡¯t even see Cai Jianxuan¡¯s people.  It was just that Cai Jianxuan sent someone to make an appointment with him at a hotel and handed the things over to him.  "Now that he has returned to the country, we can't let him escape this time!" Mr. Liu shook hands fiercely, and then he sighed: "Hey, I miscalculated this time. I thought he would definitely stay here during this period.  In foreign countries, I didn¡¯t expect that the most dangerous place is the safest place. If I had known this, I wouldn¡¯t have acted rashly. Now I can only make amends. I hope it¡¯s not too late.¡± Chu Chen said quickly: ¡°  I will also ask my friends to help me when I get back." "Cai Jianxuan has already undergone plastic surgery. I will give you the portrait later." Mr. Liu nodded, and then said with a smile: "After a long time, I still want you to do it.  That's it." "This is what I should do." Chu Chen chuckled. Then, due to time constraints, he and Mr. Liu left after chatting for a while and went home.   The next day, Chu Chen drove to his museum alone.  After arriving, everyone first exchanged greetings. During this period, Chu Chen gave the small gifts brought back by Hao Jing to Yu Renpeng and others. Then, Yu Renpeng began to introduce the work progress during this period to Chu Chen.  According to the original plan, the main security measures in the museum have been completed. Chu Chen walked around in a circle and felt quite satisfied. It was considered to be 360 ??degrees with no blind spots. It is no exaggeration to say that even a fly could escape.  but.  But good equipment also needs supporting rules and regulationsQualified management, otherwise no matter how good the equipment is, it will not have much effect if it is operated by people who often desert.  Fortunately, in both aspects, Chu Chen used doctrines. With Zhao Qirui helping him make arrangements, he was not worried at all.  Regarding manpower, there are technicians, commentators and etiquette. Because of Yu Renpeng¡¯s connections, Chu Chen does not need to worry about these. In addition, Liu Ruida¡¯s company helps with etiquette, so he does not need to worry about this aspect.  After Yu Renpeng explained everything clearly one by one, Chu Chen realized when he recalled that there were so many things to do when opening a museum.  And this is not even counting the most important exhibits. You must know that the preservation and maintenance of these cultural relics is also a very cumbersome matter.  Fortunately, Yu Renpeng and specialized technical personnel are responsible for handling these tasks, otherwise Chu Chen would have been overwhelmed.  After explaining the matters during this period, Yu Renpeng used a formal title and said to Chu Chen: "Director, you are going to get married in a few days. When do you think the decoration of the exhibition hall will be carried out?" Many things in the museum  The exhibits are all valuable, and Chu Chen is the director of the museum. It would be unjustifiable if he was not present when the exhibition hall was decorated. However, in a few days, Chu Chen will get married again, so there will definitely be some time conflicts.  Chu Chen thought for a while and said, "Well, I'll try my best to arrange my own time reasonably. When I'm here, we will decorate the exhibition hall, and at other times we will classify and organize the exhibits. What do you think?" "  OK." Everyone nodded in agreement.  Don¡¯t think that classification numbering is easy.  In fact, the photos, dimensions, data and other aspects of the exhibits must be recorded one by one.  In addition, Chu Chen has a large collection under his name, and a batch of porcelain from the sea will be consigned in a few days.  It is impossible to deal with it in a short time.  After the work arrangements were completed, everyone dispersed and went about their own business. Only Chu Chen, Yu Renpeng and Fang Jinbo, who was now Yu Renpeng's assistant, were left.  Speaking of which, Fang Jinbo¡¯s work performance during this period is also remarkable. In addition, he is diligent and studious, and he also loves antiques.  Yu Renpeng saw this and was very satisfied with Jin Bo, so he told Chu Chen that he wanted to focus on training him.  To this, Chu Chen also happily agreed.  So Fang Jinbo was asked to be Yu Renpeng's assistant.  Yu Renpeng thought of something and said: "By the way, the day before yesterday, my friend wanted to sell a crane-top red snuff bottle from the Qing Dynasty. He asked me if I wanted it. I thought it looked good and the price was cheap, so I bought it in the name of the museum.  "How about we go take a look now?" As the deputy director of the museum, Yu Renpeng also has the authority to purchase antiques for the museum.  Of course, after he bought it, it would definitely have to be re-appraised by the museum's experts, and the price would also have a limit. If it was higher than the limit, Chu Chen's consent would be required.  "Okay." Chu Chen nodded.  Then he asked with some curiosity: "Brother, why didn't you stay by yourself?" Yu Renpeng smiled and waved his hand: "I am generally not interested in this kind of animal products, if it weren't for the fact that I work for you now. I  I have already rejected it.¡± After hearing this, Fang Jinbo asked curiously: ¡°Isn¡¯t the crane top red poison?¡± Chu Chen said with a smile, ¡°The crane top red in our antiques is poisonous.  It's not poison. It's the skull of a bird. "Ah, is it the skull of a red-crowned crane?" Fang Jinbo looked surprised.  If the skull of a red-crowned crane is known to people as a protected animal, it would easily lead to rumors.  "How is this possible" Chu Chen laughed and explained to Fang Jinbo the origin of the red crane crown.  The red crane in the antiques is not the poison in the legend, but actually the skull of the helmeted hornbill.  The helmeted hornbill, which is native to the tropical rain forests of East Asia, was hunted and made into handicrafts because of its solid and beautiful head. It was introduced to my country through tribute and trade, and was named Crane.  Therefore, this stuff is not available in China and is imported from outside.  Heding has been introduced into our country in the Yuan Dynasty, but it became widely known to the Chinese people after Zheng He's voyages to the West. This thing was often used as a tribute.  However, the Ming court rewarded tributes from all directions, which was actually a disguised transaction.  Although the crane crown is not a frequent tribute, the price must be set as a basis in the system. During the Hongzhi period, it was calculated based on the banknote price, and its value was "consistent".  At that time, Chaogui often used it to make cups, belts, etc. for entertainment.  After the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the country's power declined, and of course there were no more tributes, which made this kind of thing gradually rare.  There is a saying that things are more valuable when they are rare, so the price skyrockets, and many people spread rumors because they have never seen living things.  By the time of the Qing Dynasty, due to the implementation of the maritime ban policy, trade with the origin was cut off, and it gradually became extinct.  Chu Chen explained to Fang Jinbo as he walked, and walked to Yu RenWhen he arrived at the door of his office, he almost explained: "This thing was already equivalent to the price of one kilogram of ivory in the Qing Dynasty. It is even more expensive now. However, the helmeted hornbill is now an endangered species, so it is definitely not allowed.  You can kill them at will. If they are contemporary products, we can't buy them here. " "Yes, I remember!" Fang Jinbo nodded clearly.  Yu Renpeng walked into the rest room of his office. After a while, he came out holding a box.  Opening the box, there was a golden snuff bottle inside.  The helmeted hornbill is a species of bird that has some headgear. Most of them are hollow, but the helmeted hornbill is solid, so it can be used for carving.  Moreover, when it comes to the degree of delicacy and moistness, there is probably no other bird head that can compare with jade. Bones have bone patterns, ivory has tooth patterns, and wood has wood grains. Only this kind of bird head has no patterns at all.  , translucent, carved and polished. In layman's terms, it feels like jelly.  The snuff bottle in front of you is like this, it looks quite pleasing to the eye.  The overall height of this pot is only about six centimeters. It has an oblate body, a round mouth, a short neck, and folded shoulders. The overall shape is beautiful.  The story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl is embossed on the ampulla.  The composition is clever, the pictures are rich, the details are handled appropriately, and the story is presented appropriately.  The shoulders are carved with gourds and crutches, which are the patterns of the Eight Immortals.  After observation, Chu Chen determined that this snuff bottle should have been made in the middle of the Qing Dynasty. The overall carving can be described as exquisite and extraordinary. In addition, the material is extremely rare, and the best works in the world are rare, so it is still very precious.  Chu Chen nodded and said: "Yes, yes, conservatively estimated, the market value of this thing should be around 60,000 to 80,000." Yu Renpeng smiled and said: "My friend only paid 20,000." "Why is it so cheap?" Chu Chen listened.  I was a little surprised at the price.  Yu Renpeng shook his head: "I'm not sure what happened. He looked very anxious that day, and he only wanted cash. If I hadn't been busy, I happened to have fifteen thousand cash with me, and I borrowed it from another friend.  Otherwise, I really wouldn¡¯t be able to buy it. Later, I was worried and asked a few friends about it, but they didn¡¯t hear anything about his family. ¡°Maybe he had something urgent.¡± Chu Chen could only think.  Think so.  At this moment, the phone on Yu Renpeng¡¯s desk suddenly rang, and he stepped forward and picked up the phone.  "It's mehuh?Okay, give the phone to the security guard" Putting the phone back, Yu Renpeng said with a strange expression: "Cao Cao is really here, and he actually has something.  It's really weird to take action. If there is something going on in his family, there will always be news! "What is going on!" Chu Chen said: "Wait until he comes to find out, don't be the last one."  What kind of dispute will it cause?" Yu Renpeng nodded and said, "Yes, if he doesn't tell me, I would rather not buy it." After a while, the security guard took away a man who was nearly fifty years old, slightly fat, and had obvious bald hair.  Come in.  Yu Renpeng first introduced the two parties, and then said with some surprise: "Old Jia, how come you have lost so much weight after we haven't seen each other for three days? Is there something wrong with your health?" The man's name is Jia Yuqiang. His name is Jia Yuqiang.  He was originally a fat man weighing nearly 190 pounds, but now he looks like he only weighs 140 or 50 pounds.  He had lost so much weight after not seeing each other for two days, and he was in urgent need of money. It was no wonder that Yu Renpeng thought something was wrong with his health.  But when Yu Renpeng thought about it, he felt something was wrong. If Jia Yuqiang was indeed seriously ill, how could there not be any news, and how could he come to sell things in person?  "Hey!" Jia Yuqiang sighed and shook his head: "It's hard to explain in words! I won't be able to explain this for a while, so let's read it first."
