Chapter 100 Wow! He has collected all the “Three Ancient Artifacts”!
The central courtyard of the quadrangle!
The big tree casts a shadow that covers the entire pavilion completely. Occasionally, one or two rays of light shine through the leaves and are reflected on the stone table in the pavilion.

Su Chen was lying leisurely on the recliner, flipping through an unknown book in his hand, which was covered with some pictures and introductions.

From time to time, he would reach out and take the cakes and fruits on the table to taste them, feeling as if he had "stealed a half day's leisure from his busy life".

"Sir, someone is looking for you!" Jiang Hui walked to the entrance of the pavilion and stopped and said.

"Hmm?" Su Chen turned his head to look at the book in his hand, "Who is it?"

Jiang Hui took out a red visiting card from his pocket and handed it over with both hands.

Su Chen was also a little stunned when he saw this scene, with a playful smile on his face, "Oh~ It's so formal, I'm curious who it is?"

After receiving the visiting card and seeing the name on it, Su Chen was speechless. What on earth were these two people up to? He threw the visiting card on the table and said to Jiang Hui, "Go and invite the person in!"

Soon Jiang Hui brought the two of them in through the hanging flower gate.

The people who came were none other than Yu Qian and Wu Jing, both of them were holding some things in their hands.

After the two of them sat down, Su Chen picked up the visiting card on the table and shook it twice, saying jokingly: "I wonder who came up with this idea? You are here to embarrass me!"

Yu Qian and Wu Jing looked at each other awkwardly, and finally Yu Qian stepped forward to explain: "Ahem~ We thought that this is our first visit to your house, so it would look more formal this way!"

In fact, no one knew what came to their mind when they came up with such an idea.

But it was normal. The two had been in the imperial capital's circles for many years and had seen many wealthy families. Naturally, they knew that the imperial capital had many rules and regulations. Without a proper visiting card, one could not get in.

However, with the rapid development of the times in recent years, many customs of the older generation have gradually been submerged by the trend of the times.

Su Chen was just curious and had no intention of blaming them. He glanced at what the two were carrying and had a hint of doubt in his eyes. "What are you carrying? Big bags and small bags!"

The two of them quickly placed the things in their hands on the stone table, thankful that the stone table was big enough, otherwise it would not be able to hold them.

A long box, a short box and a square box!
Su Chen knew at first glance that the long box contained calligraphy or a painting. He took it and opened it, and sure enough, there was a painting inside.

Looking at the color of the scroll and the paper, you can tell that it is an old item. It must be authentic, otherwise Yu Qian and the others would not have given it to Su Chen.

Su Chen did not open the scroll, mainly because he knew little about calligraphy, painting and cultural relics, and he was afraid that he would not be able to recognize it after opening it and make a fool of himself!
The other two boxes, when opened, revealed a fan and a bracelet!
"What does this painting say?" Su Chen gently stroked it with his right hand and looked curiously at Yu Qian beside him.

As for the other two items, Su Chen also knew a little bit about them. What he knew was not the value of the items, but their origins.
Fans are a habit of Yu Qian's profession, so he has quite a few fans in his collection. I heard before that the fan he gave to his partner Lao Guo was worth one hundred thousand.

As for the bracelet, it is similar to a fan. After all, Yu Qianpan's bracelet is well-known in the circle.

Yu Qian took the scroll out of the box, and he and Wu Jing slowly unfolded the painting. A beautiful flower painting appeared in front of Su Chen.

The painting was so stunning that if Su Chen hadn't been sure that it was a painting, he would have thought it was copied using modern technology.

But soon Su Chen discovered something wrong. The painting seemed to be incomplete and missing the signature and seal.

Just as I was about to ask, Yu Qian started to introduce.

"Mr. Su, this painting is the work of Yun Nantian, a calligrapher and painter from the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. It is a sister piece to the ten-flower painting treasured by the Shanghai Museum. It's a pity that this painting has no signature or seal!" Yu Qian looked melancholy when he said this.

If this painting had a signature and a seal, it would be a treasure-level cultural relic.

Upon hearing this, Su Chen nodded in satisfaction. Although it did not have a signature seal and its value was reduced by half, for Su Chen it just looked good.

He waved to Jiang Hui who was standing outside the pavilion and asked him to put away the paintings and fans. Especially the paintings, he specifically asked Jiang to take the time to frame them!
As for the bracelet, Su Chen just took it in his hand and rolled it up.

"Old Wu, what's wrong?" Yu Qian just sat down and noticed that Wu Jing was a little distracted, so he quickly reached out and pulled him twice.

Wu Jing nodded in the direction of the reception room and looked at Su Chen with a complicated expression.

Yu Qian also looked over a little belatedly, and when he saw the two animal heads placed in the reception room, his mouth opened wide.

After all, he was a person who ate more salt than food, so Yu Qian quickly came to his senses and asked nervously, "Mr. Su, are those two treasures in the living room real?"

Su Chen picked up the teacup and took a sip before saying, "Of course it's real. Would I put a fake one here?"

"Can I go and have a look?" Yu Qian asked with a somewhat expectant look. For collectors like them, the biggest wish is to get back all the things left by their ancestors.

Of course, there are also many bad people among them who sell precious cultural relics in the country to foreigners.

"Of course, Old Wu can also go and take a look!" While Su Chen was speaking, he also looked at Wu Jing beside him.

There are only a few people like Yu Qian and Wu Jing who have a passion for something, either riding horses or collecting things, especially the eldest among them, Ma Weidu, who even has his own private museum.

To be honest, the Twelve Zodiac Animals are actually the faucets in the Old Summer Palace. They are much less precious than other items. In terms of preciousness, the Twelve Zodiac Animals cannot be considered as national treasures. At most, they are precious cultural relics. As for why they have this title today, it is all because of the foreign capital and auction houses pushing them behind the scenes.

Although the twelve animal heads are not precious enough to be considered national treasures, they represent other meanings, that is, countless various cultural relics lost abroad. The return of the animal heads has also made many people see the dawn of the return of lost cultural relics.

Yu Qian and Wu Jing did not delay at all. They walked quickly into the reception room and began to study the animal heads.

Su Chen looked at the two people's serious expressions and a smug look appeared at the corner of his mouth.

After drinking almost two cups of tea, Yu Qianer came back with a look of being unsatisfied.

"By the way, why did you two think of my house today? What's the matter?"

Su Chen started asking questions only after the two of them sat down. After all, they were both very busy people, one was busy raising horses for performances, and the other was preparing for Wolf Warrior 2. How could they have time to come to his place together?

Unless there is something to find.

It was not until Su Chen asked the question that the two of them remembered the main purpose of their visit today.

"Mr. Su, our film and television investment company is about to open for business. We would like to invite you to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony!" As a professional in this field, Wu Jing set up the company very quickly. It took less than a month to set up the company.

"Ribbon-cutting ceremony?" Su Chen didn't expect that the two of them were looking for him for this matter.

After thinking for a while, Su Chen rejected Wu Jing's proposal. "I won't go to the ribbon-cutting ceremony. I don't like living in the spotlight. But I can find Si Cong. He doesn't have anything to do recently. His fame can also help advertise the company!"

The two's eyes lit up when they heard this. In fact, when they came, they guessed that Su Chen would most likely reject them.

Although they refused, they still had to have the right attitude. After all, Su Chen was the major shareholder of their company, and he didn't even ask for permission before cutting the ribbon for the company's opening. This path is probably too narrow!
As if thinking of their relationship with Sicong, Su Chen added, "Leave this matter to me. I'll call him when the time comes. By the way, where is the ribbon-cutting ceremony and when is it?"

"Gaobeidian's Cultural Industry Park, the day after tomorrow afternoon!" Wu Jing said quickly. "Okay~ I'll call Sicong and tell him later!"

After finishing the business, one thought Yu Qian and Wu Jing were about to leave, but who would have thought that the two had no intention of leaving. Instead, they shamelessly stayed and said that it was almost noon and they just wanted to have lunch. When Su Chen saw their expressions, he had no idea what they were planning, they were just thinking about their own money.

It’s all because of that big mouth of Sicong, he can’t hide anything!

Looking at the expectant eyes of the two, Su Chen reluctantly asked Jiang Hui to make the arrangements and asked him to get a bottle of aged Maozi.

Eventually, the whole bottle of aged wine went into the stomachs of both men. Apart from their faces being a little red and their voices smelling a little drunk, nothing happened.

"I only have one bottle left, so don't have any evil ideas in the future!"

Hearing this, a trace of embarrassment flashed across Yu Qian and Wu Jing's faces. It seemed that they would never have the chance to drink such good Maotai in the future!

"When you leave later, remember to find Lao Jiang. I have prepared a gift for you!"

"Gift?" Wu Jing never thought that not only did they eat and drink for free, but they also received gifts when they left.

Anything produced by Su Chen must be a masterpiece!
Both of them are now looking forward to what the gift is.

The three of them chatted for a while, and then Yu Qian and Wu Jing said goodbye. The main reason was that Yu Qian had a crosstalk performance today, and if he didn't leave, it would be a waste of time.

"By the way, Old Yu, where can I buy some antique porcelain in the imperial capital? It doesn't matter even if it's a fake, as long as it looks good!"

Yu Qian had just taken two steps when Su Chen called him.

"Fake? Porcelain? Mr. Su is planning to buy some to decorate the house?" When Yu Qian heard this, he thought about it for a while and understood what Su Chen wanted to do.

"Hmm~ Some places feel empty, so I'm going to add some things to decorate them!"

Although Su Chen is rich and can buy some authentic items, antiques are hard to buy nowadays. Not only is it time-consuming and laborious, but there is also no guarantee that the items may be fake. So he might as well go for it and buy fakes directly.

Yu Qian pondered for a moment and said, "If you are not in a hurry, Mr. Su, I will go with you tomorrow. There are many fakes in places like Panjiayuan, Liulichang, and Baoguo Temple. As for finding bargains, I am afraid it is impossible now because those people are smart!"

"I'll go by myself, just for a stroll!" Su Chen thought about it and decided to reject Yu Qian's kindness. Anyway, he had nothing to do at home today, so he planned to go downstairs and stroll around Panjiayuan.

"Well, that's fine!" Yu Qian could only nod when seeing this, and then told Su Chen some secret events in the antique market to avoid being tricked.

Like stealing, gang crimes, or childcare, etc., when you go to the antique market, just remember one motto: look more, ask less, and take less! You can avoid being tricked.

Although these things are not a big deal to Su Chen, they do affect his mood.

Yu Qian and Wu Jing left, holding the ten-year-old wine that Su Chen had prepared for them, with smiles on their faces.

After they left, Su Chen also took Chen Fei and Xiao Peng out.

Panjiayuan, Liulichang and Baoguo Temple are all about the same distance from where Su Chen is, but in the end Su Chen chose Panjiayuan.

The reason is simple: Panjiayuan left the deepest impression on him. He had heard of this place a long time ago, and today he decided to go and see it for himself.

Panjiayuan is located on the edge of Longtan Lake, and it only takes about 20 minutes to drive there.

Su Chen did not let Xiao Peng drive the car to Panjiayuan, but found a parking place nearby.

After all, Rolls-Royce is quite eye-catching in this area. If you drive there directly, you will probably be slaughtered like a pig by those people.

Don't underestimate those who set up stalls in Panjiayuan. They have a wide range of information sources. Maybe they will notice you as soon as you step into Panjiayuan.

"It's worthy of being called Panjiayuan. The flow of people is so great~"

There were crowds of people everywhere, and the stalls were surrounded by curious people.

Su Chen looked at the several street stalls around him, and most of them were filled with broken porcelain, with almost no intact items.

He had heard of people who played with porcelain pieces before. Those people were really ruthless. Even though it was just a small piece of porcelain, some of the good quality ones could be sold for hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands!
"Boss, take a look at this!" Xiao Peng approached a street stall and picked up something that looked like bronze.

When Fade Chen saw the object in his hand, he exclaimed, "Fuck, that's awesome, Pengzi, you're going to become Ultraman!"

What Xiao Peng was holding in his hand was exactly Ultraman’s transformation device, and it was made of bronze!
Seeing this, Su Chen also became interested. He walked forward and took the transformer from Xiao Peng. He tried it in his hand and felt it was pretty good.

"Boss, how much is this?" Su Chen asked the stall owner.

"150!" The stall owner had just heard their conversation. Anyone who goes out with bodyguards must be a rich man.

It’s not too exaggerated, just 140cm higher. After all, this thing is just for the sake of novelty!
"25! I'll take it if you sell it!" Su Chen directly threw out the Dragon Slaying Sword, thinking that the stall owner would bargain with him.

But who would have thought that the stall owner agreed directly, and happily took out the QR code on his chest, "No problem, 25 is 25, sir, do you want to scan the code or pay in cash?"

Su Chen looked at the bronze transformation device in his hand, then looked at his straightforward boss. He had the illusion that he had become a great enemy.

Xiao Peng, who was standing by, swiftly took out his mobile phone and scanned the code to pay.

After walking around, Su Chen saw a lot of "good things", and put together a combination of the previous bronze transformers~Ancient Group!

Bronze Transformer, Doraemon from the Western Zhou Dynasty, and AK-47 made of Suzhou blue and white porcelain!

Especially the blue and white porcelain AK-47. The stall owner said it was the imperial treasure used by eunuch Sanbao when he sailed to the West. Su Chen finally bought it for 30 yuan.

The picture is just for fun!
The current Panjiayuan is different from what Su Chen had in mind. Most of it is now a second-hand goods market, and of course there are also many scammers.

Especially the one that was blooming Bodhi seeds. Su Chen watched from the side and found that the stall owner was blooming brightly colored fruits, red and pink, which made people feel novel.

Just as Su Chen was thinking about spending two hundred to give it a try and was about to step forward, he was stopped by Chen Fei.

"Boss, this thing is a scam. I've been scammed once before!" Chen Fei said in a low voice beside Su Chen.

Su Chen was stunned for a moment, knowing that Chen Fei would not lie to him, he took two steps to the side and motioned Chen Fei to tell him what was going on.

Chen Fei didn't waste any time and immediately told him the routine.

It turns out that the color of this Bodhi seed is white. The merchant opens the fruit in advance, bleaches and dyes it, and then wraps it with glue mixed with fruit residue. As long as someone opens the fruit, what comes out will definitely be a feast for the eyes.

Su Chen did not bother to expose them. They had been here for so long, there must be a reason. As for those who were deceived,
Just treat it as a fun thing!
