After hearing this, Du Zhonglin was stunned for a while, and then he asked with some difficulty: "Is there no special case at that time? There must be no He Xiangu?" Chu Chen replied: "The legend of He Xiangu has long existed, but in Although the legend of the Eight Immortals was popular in the Yuan Dynasty, the names of the Eight Immortals are not yet fixed. There may be no He Xiangu, Cao Guojiu, Zhang Guolao, but Xu Shenweng, Feng Sengshou, Zhang Silang, Yuan Huzi, etc. They all have one characteristic. , that is, the Eight Immortals are all men, and there are no women. " "As for our current ranking of the Eight Immortals, it was only after Wu Yuantai's "The Origin of the Eight Immortals" in the Ming Dynasty. "How could this be?" Accepting this result, he suddenly stood up from the chair and paced back and forth next to him. The anxious and helpless look on his face made Chu Chen very worried. In order to avoid any accidents, Chu Chen hurriedly stepped forward and comforted: "Old sir, please calm down first and don't affect your body. It will be worth the loss." "Thisbut this is my pension money. How can I calm down?" Du Zhonglin looked extremely desperate, and then he was still a little unwilling to give up. He picked up the plum vase and explained: "Teacher Chu, look at this brown spot decoration, which first appeared on the Yue Kiln in the late Western Jin Dynasty. Yes. The Longquan kiln of the Yuan Dynasty inherited and developed this technique, bringing diverse looks to the single-color glaze porcelain variety. Isn¡¯t this plum vase the best example? " "Also, look at it. Look at the flint red color of the exposed tire, how bright and eye-catching it is against the surrounding celadon! How could this be a fake?" Chu Chen sighed in his heart when he heard this. How come in just two days, I met two people who spent all their money to buy an antique? Do you want to think about it before buying it? Is it so difficult what the consequences will be? But, let¡¯s think about it again. The same thing happened to him last year. He spent all his savings to buy the Tang Sancai. In the end, all the hard work in the past few years was in vain. Fortunately, he was still young and got superpowers as a blessing in disguise. Otherwise, the situation would not be the same. How much better than Du Zhonglin, who is now retired. "Mr. Du, I know what you are saying, and to be honest. This plum vase is indeed made to look like the real thing, but just like it is impossible for Guan Gong to fight Qin Qiong, the Eight Immortals that were only confirmed in the Ming Dynasty are definitely impossible to appear. On the works of the Yuan Dynasty, I hope you can understand. " "Moreover, I recall that this plum vase actually has a prototype, which was first collected by a collector in England and served as the British Sui Dynasty on July 10, 1951. The cover of Forbes' special catalog appeared in front of the world. It was numbered 33 at the time. It was auctioned by Christie's in England on April 14, 1980, and was acquired by a famous collector in the Lion City. " "On November 5, 1996, it was sold to a famous collector in the Lion City. Auctioned by Jiangsu Fubi Company. No. 621. Published twice during this period" Hearing this, Du Zhonglin didn't have any illusions and sat down on the ground. With tears in his eyes, he said: "Why is this happening! I was so careless when I bought it. Why didn't I take it more seriously! Why!" Because he was so excited, the plum vase in Du Zhonglin's hand was shaky. Seeing this, Chu Chen quickly stepped forward and took the things in his hands. Looking at Du Zhonglin's grief-stricken appearance, he was filled with emotion. What he wanted to say was that it had nothing to do with whether he took it seriously or not. The most important thing was that Du Zhonglin didn't know much, or that Inadequate preparation. Judging from Du Zhonglin's performance, he would definitely not buy something with a market value of hundreds of thousands after seeing it. He would prepare it anyway and read relevant information before making a decision. During this process, he could have read the information on the Eight Immortals, and then nothing like what happened today would have happened. ¡°Some people may say, aren¡¯t they the Eight Immortals that everyone is familiar with, so it makes sense not to look for information. This may be feasible for other things, but antique collection must not be like this. The reason is very simple. Even the Song Dynasty version of a well-known thought like "Silent Night" is "Looking at the moonlight in front of the bed, it is suspected that it is on the ground." Frost. Looking up at the mountains and the moon, looking down at my hometown. "How can you be sure that the Eight Immortals of today and the Eight Immortals of the Yuan Dynasty are the same person? Therefore, when buying an antique, all details must be taken into consideration, and taking it for granted is often difficult for your own pocket. "No, I'll let him settle the score!" Du Zhonglin stood up with a roar and said angrily: "It's a shame that I trust him so much, and he actually used fake goods to deceive me. It's really nothing!" Chu Chen Seeing this, he advised him to calm down and said: "Mr. Du, since he sold you three fakes in a row, he is deliberately trying to deceive you. If you go like this, it will be difficult to get your money back." Chu Chen's words Du Zhonglin was reminded, and he clapped his hands: "Yes! ChuTeacher, you are right, I want to call the police and accuse him of fraud! " Chu Chen said: "Mr. Du, to be honest, you can sue him for fraud, but you must have corresponding evidence. For example, have you signed an agreement? " Du Zhonglin nodded and said: "Sign it and I'll put it in the box. Look" As he said that, he took out an agreement from the bottom of the box with the plum vase. Chu Chen took it in his hand and looked at it. The agreement was very standardized, but when he saw the items traded, he couldn't help but shook his head: "Mr. Du, what is written on this is the plum vase with the Eight Immortals of Longquan Kiln, and there is no indication of what dynasty this item is from. In this case Otherwise, it will be difficult for you to win the lawsuit. " "ah! Didn't you write it? " Du Zhonglin was shocked when he heard this. He quickly asked Chu Chen for the agreement. After a closer look, he found that the dynasty was not written on it. "How could it not be written! Du Zhonglin slapped his head hard, feeling annoyed that he was too sloppy: "But when he sold me, he clearly told me that it was from the Yuan Dynasty. Even if he didn't write it, could he still regret it?" " Chu Chen shook his head and said: "If he insists that he didn't say it at that time, then there is nothing you can do about him. Such an incident happened not long ago. ¡± Some time ago, an old customer of Chuchen antique shop suffered such a loss. A few months ago, he bought two things from a friend, a pair of Hetian jade from the Qing Dynasty. The other piece was an inkstone from the Song Dynasty. After buying it for a total of more than 100,000 yuan, he took it to Chu Chen for appraisal and found that it was a modern imitation. The bracelet was made of Russian material and the inkstone was also made in modern times. It was an old and ordinary thing. When he heard the result, he was very angry, so he took the item to return it, but the original friend refused because he had signed an agreement when he bought it, so he got angry and dismissed the seller. The lawsuit was brought to the court, but the agreement also had the same flaws as Du Zhonglin's agreement, which did not include a dynasty. As a result, it was finally ruled that the Fang inkstone could not be returned, but only the pair of bracelets. The reason why the bracelets could be returned was because it was written on the agreement. It is Khotan jade, but it is actually made from Russia. Some friends may ask, since these two items are modern imitations, they are not worth much according to the market value, but the final judgment is still the same. By letting the buyer buy the square inkstone, doesn't it encourage unhealthy tendencies and violate the principle of fairness in contract law? It also violates the principle of honesty and trustworthiness in business transactions. If it were something else, then this judgment would indeed be a bit off. Just like He Xini. However, antique trading is a special kind of commodity trading, which is characterized by its strong professionalism. The trading methods lack substitutability and comparability, so it is difficult to determine a unified value measurement standard. It not only complies with the rationality of the industry regulations, but also reflects the fairness and justice of the agreement. Because the sale of antiques embodies the ancient principle of buyer¡¯s caution, the so-called ¡°caveat emptor¡± principle refers to the process of making a contract. One party should rely on its own knowledge to make judgments. The other party has no obligation to disclose information about the contract or the subject matter. After the contract is concluded, the other party will not be responsible for defects in the subject matter. The only restriction is that fraud and falsehood are not allowed. Statement. The theoretical basis of this principle is that everyone is the best defender of their own rights and interests and should properly take care of their own interests during the transaction process. In the process of entering into a contract, the parties should pay based on their own interests. Make reasonable efforts to understand the situation related to the contract, and there is no reason to rely on the other party. Therefore, when buying valuable antiques, you must sign the agreement carefully. If you purchase jewelry, you must have an appraisal certificate issued by a national authority, because now some experts, You can buy the certificate of the organization by spending money, so you have to be very careful about this. After hearing this example, Du Zhonglin shook his head and said: "The example you mentioned is still a little different from what I am encountering now. Since he is. When I first bought it, I made a guarantee, and I definitely can¡¯t go back on it now! " Chu Chen said: "You are right. If it is true as you said, the contract will naturally be invalid. But the key thing is, who else was there besides you? If you were the only one present and he denied it, you wouldn't be able to find a witness. " Du Zhonglin said: "No, there were only me and him at the time, but he is a liar, and the police should be obliged to help me investigate! " "You can give this a try. It is best to report to the police and prepare for litigation at the same time. "Chu Chen gave a suggestion, but as he said, if the other party strongly denies it and no one else is present, the hope of returning the product is slim. "Okay, Teacher Chu, thank you very much " Just as Du Zhonglin was packing his things, Chu Chen suddenly thought whether such a high level of imitation of ancient ceramics would be related to Cai Jianxuan.?? Unfortunately, he could only recognize Cai Jianxuan's style with blue and white porcelain and porcelain from the official kilns of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. If it were replaced with the porcelain from the Longquan kiln of the Yuan Dynasty, he would be a little confused. So, he quickly asked: "By the way, Mr. Du, can I ask you for the seller's information?" Du Zhonglin was startled when he heard this. He didn't know why Chu Chen wanted to ask this question, but he immediately asked He reacted and said excitedly: "Yes, yes, this kind of person should be exposed. His name is" Seeing that Du Zhonglin misunderstood what he meant, Chu Chen did not explain much, but when he heard Du Zhonglin's description When the man looked at him, he couldn't help but be surprised. He didn't expect that this man was actually the weirdo he met at Han Yusong's store in Xiazhou, and he was also the weirdo who deceived Zhao Xueyi in Jiangcheng. Unexpectedly, in just a short time, he actually tricked himself into coming to the capital. Thinking that this person might be inextricably related to Cai Jianxuan, Chu Chen felt a little excited, and then he asked: "Mr. Du, how long have you known him?" Du Zhonglin replied: "The time is up. It's not that long, it's been about two or three years. Otherwise, I wouldn't have bought such expensive things from him. I didn't expect Hey!" "Has he been living in the capital for two or three years? "Chu Chen was very surprised when he heard this. Could it be that he recognized the wrong person? "What's wrong? His home is in the capital. Where can he live if he doesn't live in the capital?" Du Zhonglin felt a little strange about Chu Chen's reaction, but he immediately thought of another detail and said: "Oh, by the way, he is a little strange. , I don¡¯t know what kind of business he does, but he travels around the country for two or three months a year. Every time I ask him, he just smiles. Now think about it, is it a business trip? Dealing with these fakes? " After hearing this, Chu Chen felt relieved, but he felt strange because the capital had never heard of such a person who specialized in selling fakes. Could it be that rabbits don't eat grass on the edge of their nests? Then why did he suddenly set his sights on Du Zhonglin again? Thinking of this question, Chu Chen asked: "Mr. Du, since you have known him for so long, why haven't you bought a few more things from him?" "Hey!" Du Zhonglin sighed: "I asked before When he bought it, he said that his collection was not for sale and would not even exchange it. Until recently, he said that he needed money urgently because of some problems in his business, and asked me if I was interested, so I bought it. Unexpectedly, He is such a person!" At the end of the sentence, Du Zhonglin seemed very angry and hated that person even more. After hearing what Du Zhonglin said, Chu Chen wondered in his heart, could it be because they were investigating Cai Jianxuan's gang too closely, which made the gang unable to safely ship goods, so they focused on the area around the rabbit nest? At this time, Du Zhonglin packed up his things and said goodbye to Chu Chen. However, just as he walked to the door, he suddenly remembered something and said with a depressed look: "That guy went on a business trip again, now he has reported The police can't catch him!" Upon hearing this, Chu Chen said quickly: "Mr. Du, in this case, I think you'd better wait until he comes back before reporting the case, otherwise, if he has a guilty conscience, he may get wind of it. Will run away. " During this period, Mr. Liu put a lot of energy into investigating Cai Jianxuan's gang. If Du Zhonglin calls the police and the other party misunderstands, he may really run away. "Yes, yes! You must not let this grandson run away!" Du Zhonglin nodded repeatedly. If he really let the other party run away, he might lose everything. This is not what he wants to see. After that, Du Zhonglin left with worries, and Chu Chen told Mr. Liu the news. Thinking that more and more clues had been collected, Chu Chen felt that the time when Cai Jianxuan was arrested might not be far away.
