    Everyone followed Ye Junwei to the next room. The first thing they saw was an ancient Eight Immortals table and four benches, which made a complete set.  Wen Haoyang walked up and looked at the tables and stools, and then asked a little strangely: "What kind of wood are these furniture made of? It seems that I have never seen them before." Ye Junwei spread his hands and said: "This Eight Immortals table and  The benches were given to me by my father-in-law a few years ago. I heard they were a kind of local furniture from Zilang in Suzhou. I don¡¯t quite remember what the wood is called. " "Chu Chen.  Just a reminder.  "Yes, it's oak hazel wood furniture." Ye Junwei suddenly realized it, smiled and gave Chu Chen a thumbs up: "He is an expert after all, and he is well-informed." Chu Chen smiled modestly, and Wen Haoyang asked: "Chu Chen  "Teacher, what kind of wood is this oak tree?" Chu Chen replied: "To put it simply, oak tree is actually a tree from the Moraceae family." Ye Junwei was a little surprised when he heard this and said, "It looks like a tree."  It is found in many provinces in our country, so how did it become the local furniture of Zilang in Jiangsu Province?" Chu Chen explained with a smile: "It is true that eucalyptus is produced in many places in our country, but not all eucalyptus is called eucalyptus.  , only the oak wood produced in the Yangtze River alluvial plain is of superior quality and outstanding, so it is called hazel wood." "So that's what happened." Wen Haoyang nodded clearly: "Teacher Chu, then.  How is the texture of this wood? " Chu Chen said with a smile: "This wood has the reputation of 'Chinese red sandalwood', do you think it is good? And the oak hazel is the same as the rosewood, and the trunk is nine out of ten.  It is uneven and has many grooves. You need to repeatedly figure out how to cut the material. Even if the raw material is not hollow, the utilization rate after it is made is about 25 pounds per 100 pounds. You can imagine what Mr. Ye needs for this set of furniture.  How much wood to use?" "That's right." Ye Junwei looked surprised, and he quickly asked: "Teacher Chu, since oak hazel wood can be compared with rosewood, its value in the market should not be low, right?"  Shaking his head: "On the contrary, the price of oak hazel furniture is incomparable with that of rosewood furniture." "Why is this?" Ye Junwei was confused when he heard this.  Chu Chen analyzed: "It's very simple. First of all, although oak hazel can be compared with red sandalwood, it has not been selected into the palace after all, and its status cannot be compared with red sandalwood. The other one is popularity. Go to the market.  Ask, how many people know about oak hazel? But rosewood, you should know it is almost a household name. " "Therefore, although oak hazel is very rare now, many people don't know much about this precious wood.  , In addition, it does not have a relatively noble status, so it is natural that it has such a market value. " After hearing Chu Chen's explanation, Ye Junwei seemed very regretful, but he also reacted quickly.  He quickly said: "Mr. Chu, since this kind of wood is so rare, is there a lot of room for increase in its value?" Chu Chen nodded: "Theoretically, that's it. For specifics, it depends on the market price of oak.  The acceptance of hazelwood furniture has reached a new level.¡± Ye Junwei seemed very happy to receive Chu Chen¡¯s approval, but after a while, he hesitated and said, ¡°Mr. Chu, how much is this set of furniture worth for my son¡¯s tuition?  , If it¡¯s appropriate, I can only reluctantly give up.¡± Chu Chen looked at Wen Haoyang.  Said: "Wait a moment, let's discuss it." "No problem" Chu Chen and Wen Haoyang came to the side.  Asked: "Haoyang, are you interested in this set of furniture?" "I am indeed somewhat interested. But" Chu Chen waved his hand, interrupted him, and said, "Since you like it, that's fine.  I'll give you a market reference price of eight thousand yuan. As for the specific price, it's up to you to negotiate." "This is a bit embarrassing." Wen Haoyang scratched his head and laughed a few times.  Chu Chen waved his hand: "Okay, let's go quickly. It's getting late. We have other things to see." When Wen Haoyang heard the word "time", a look of panic flashed in his eyes, and then hehehe  Smiling, he walked up to Ye Junwei and said, "Uncle Ye, we just discussed that this set of tables costs RMB 6,000. What do you think?" "Only RMB 6,000?" Ye Junwei looked at Chu Chen in surprise, obviously not satisfied with this.  Not satisfied with the price.  Chu Chen smiled slightly. Although the market reference price was 8,000, 6,000 was not bad. After all, the market for oak hazel furniture was like this. If you go to an antique store to sell it, you won't be able to sell it for that much, and only those you particularly like will be able to sell it.  Will spend 8,000 yuan to buy it.  "No, this priceThe price is too low, I might as well keep it myself and wait for the value to increase.  "Ye Junwei shook his head. "Uncle Ye, don't refuse in a hurry, let's discuss it again" I don't know if Wen Haoyang really likes this set of furniture, or for some reason, he just worked hard with Ye Junwei.  , wanted to get this set of furniture, but he was unwilling to pay too high a price, not even 8,000. Of course, Ye Junwei would not agree to such a price, so the situation was deadlocked for a while.  Don't you want to delay time?  Seeing this situation, Chu Chen sneered secretly. With Wen Haoyang's expression, he couldn't help but think otherwise. So, he gave Zuo Shan a wink and asked Zuo Shan to convey the situation. Zuo Shan nodded slightly.  , and walked out the door. ¡°Mr. Ye, can I appreciate the contents of these boxes?  "Chu Chen asked. "These are the things I want to transfer. Just take a look" With Ye Junwei's instruction, Chu Chen opened the box and observed them one by one. "It must be said that Ye Junwei's collection can be considered a fine product, like  A jar with a melon-edge lotus leaf cover from the Longquan kiln of the Ming Dynasty, a pastel celestial vase from the Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty, a brush holder with a bamboo carving of "Night Tour at Red Cliff" from the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, etc. There are a total of five Eastern artifacts that are noteworthy, with an overall value of nearly three-thirds  With such a high price, Chu Chen felt that given Wen Haoyang¡¯s performance, it would be great to buy just one. Could it be that all the other artifacts were left for him? When Chu Chen finished appraising the items one by one,  The negotiation between Wen Haoyang and Ye Junwei also ended in failure. At this time, Wen Haoyang appeared a little frustrated, but Ye Junwei's face did not look good either. The reason was very simple. Anyone who had been pestered with such nagging for nearly twenty minutes was in a bad mood.  "Teacher Chu, have you read all these things?  "Wen Haoyang asked in surprise. Before Chu Chen could speak, Ye Junwei said angrily: "You don't even look at how long it has been. With Teacher Chu's eyesight, can you not finish reading it?  ?  " Wen Haoyang quickly looked at the time, apologized to everyone, and then said hello to the two of them, then picked up the things and started reading. Wen Haoyang's performance made Chu Chen even more convinced that Wen Haoyang was here for  To stall for time, Chu Chen asked, "Mr. Ye, do you have anything else?"  " Ye Junwei smiled and said: "I also have a set of "Xuanxuan Chess Classic" here. Although the book is complete, the quality may not be acceptable to you.  Chu Chen waved his hand and said with a smile: "That's not necessarily true. Maybe it's just what I want?"  " "Okay, let me show you" Then, Ye Junwei took Chu Chen to a bookcase not far away. He opened the bookcase with a key and saw nearly a hundred thread-bound books inside.  In this situation, Chu Chen smiled and said: "Mr. Ye, you have a lot of ancient books in your collection.  Ye Junwei replied: "Most of them are ancient books and some manuscripts from the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. They are all worthless stuff. The best one is this set of "Xuanxuan Chess Classics"" said  Then, he carefully brought several volumes of ancient books to Chu Chen. The original name of "Xuanxuan Chess" was "Xuanxuan Collection". The word "Xuanxuan" came from "Laozi" "Xuanzhi is mysterious, the door to all mysteries".  It is a metaphor that the number of chess "comes and goes, and the changes are unfathomable". Because the book contains "Thirteen Chapters of Chess", it is also called "Xuanxuan Chess". The whole book is divided into six volumes, each based on the "Six Arts of Ancient".  "Etiquette, Music, Shooting, Yu, Shu, Shu" are compiled into a volume. The Ritual Volume contains theoretical articles on Go and has extremely high documentary value. The two volumes of Yue and She mainly focus on the corner-setting of ancient methods. The best part of the full spectrum is in Yu, Shu, and Shu.  The book and three volumes contain the 387 masterpieces handed down by ancient chess masters in terms of endgames, life and death, etc. It is exquisite, rigorous, mysterious and wonderful. It can be called the masterpiece of Go in the Yuan Dynasty. After identification, this is indeed a set of "Mysterious Go".  The original version of "Xuan Qi Jing", but Chu Chen felt that it was a pity that the preservation condition of this set of ancient books was really worrying. Although the page numbers were complete, there were many insect bite marks and some mildew spots. The appearance did look like Ye Junwei's  It was worse to say that. Seeing Chu Chen frown, Ye Junwei smiled bitterly and said: "Actually, this set of "Xuanxuan Chess" was handed down by my ancestors, but I didn't know how precious it was at the time, so the placement was a bit awkward.  It was random, but later my son accidentally splashed it with water, and it ended up like this. By the time I knew its value, I already regretted it.  " At the end of the sentence, Ye Junwei sighed distressedly. If it were in the original condition, he believed that even if it didn't cost 30,000, it would still be sold for 20,000. But now, let alone 20,000, five thousand is enough. " Chu  Chen shook his head and said, "Mr. Ye, I wonder how much you want for this set of ancient books?  ¡±  Ye Junwei was very surprised when he saw that Chu Chen had the idea of ????purchasing it: "You are" Chu Chen smiled slightly and said: "If it is left here like this, the quality of this set of ancient books will definitely get worse and worse, so I  I want to buy it back and ask the master to copy it.¡± Hearing what Chu Chen said, Ye Junwei quickly said: ¡°Since you said so, Teacher Chu, I want this set of "Xuanxuan Chess" for three thousand." "Okay" Chu.  Chen nodded and casually took out three thousand yuan and handed it to Ye Junwei.  Next, seeing Wen Haoyang still pretending to look at the artifacts in his hands, Chu Chen continued to look through the ancient manuscripts in front of him.  "Hmm?"(To be continued)r466?
