Chapter 104 Online Treasure Appraisal
"This side of the West Ring Road."

Zhou Manlin blinked: "He seems to have just come back from exercising."

"How do you know it's him?" Li Beixing was a little surprised.

Zhou Manlin told the truth: "I just had a minor accident while driving and he saved me. I didn't recognize him at first, but after looking at him a few more times and asking tentatively, I dared to confirm."

Li Beixing was startled: "You were in a car accident? Are you injured?"

Zhou Manlin smiled and said, "No one is wrong. The car just skidded and hit the green belt. We have already reported it to the insurance company."

"As long as it's okay, it'll be okay."

Li Beixing said several sentences and breathed a sigh of relief.

Hearing the news of Zhou Manlin's car accident, he was really scared. This was no small matter. Then he asked curiously, "Did he save you?"

"Well, I was stunned by the airbag, and he opened the door and helped me out of the car."

Zhou Manlin said: "It was my first car accident. My mind went blank and I couldn't react at all. I was so scared that my hands and feet were weak and I couldn't move them. Fortunately, I was not injured and the damage to the car was not serious."

"Where are you now? Do you want me to accompany you to the hospital for a check-up?" Li Beixing's heart was suddenly lifted when he heard this.

Zhou Manlin said: "We are still at the scene, but the insurance, 4S store and traffic police are here. I will take a taxi home after we handle it. I don't think it is a good day to go to the store. Don't worry, it's okay. Just continue with your class."

After her repeated persuasion, Li Beixing gave up the idea of asking for leave immediately.

After finishing the conversation with Zhou Manlin, Li Beixing immediately sent a message to Chen Jingle: "Thank you!"

At this time, Chen Jingle was on his way to the supermarket.

"System, I just did a good deed, so there's no reward for me? Like growing two centimeters taller, or gaining two kilograms of strength."

[A little red flower as a reward to the brave and kind-hearted child Chen Jingle~]

"Ah~ stingy!"

Chen Jingle curled his lips.

Considering that it might rain in the next few days, he planned to stock up a little more food.

As soon as I parked my electric bike in the supermarket, I saw the message from Li Beixing.

Chen Jingle asked back: "Did your friend tell you?"

"Yeah! She said if it weren't for you, it would be troublesome." Li Beixing raised the corner of his mouth slightly.

Chen Jingle laughed dumbly: "You're exaggerating. It's not as exaggerated as she said. Most people would help if they saw it. I just didn't expect that she and you are also friends."

Li Beixing replied: "Manlin and I have known each other for many years and we have always had a good relationship."

Chen Jingle felt that the world was very small. Anyone he met on the street was a friend of his friend.

Afraid that Li Beixing would worry, he described the situation at the time: "She was not injured, at most she was frightened, she will be fine after she recovers."

In his opinion, lending a helping hand is just a small thing, and helping others can make him happy.

Not worth mentioning.

Even if he was not Li Beixing's friend, it did not affect his thoughts and actions at that time.

However, Li Beixing was still grateful. He said that most people would help if they saw it, but that was not necessarily true. Nowadays, everyone is scared by the news and they all turn a blind eye to things that do not concern them.

After briefly ending the conversation, Chen Jingle began shopping for ingredients for today.

In addition to fresh Chinese cabbage, I also bought a lot of long-lasting potatoes, corn, carrots, etc.

Of course, meat is indispensable.

Buy some beef and pork and put them in the refrigerator for a day or two. There won’t be any problem.

Finally, I bought some fruits and snacks. My snack cart is always full no matter what time it is.

the other side,
After Zhou Manlin cooperated in handling the accident, her car was towed away by the 4S shop for repairs, and she took a taxi home.

Sitting in the car, she curiously opened Chen Jingle’s WeChat Moments.

There are only two updates in total.

One is related to calligraphy, and the other is meaningless.

Uh, is it that simple?
“But the handwriting is pretty good.”

She doesn't understand calligraphy, she just thinks it looks beautiful.

I have the impression that Li Beixing's handwriting is also very beautiful. Could it be that this is why I have a good impression of him?

"interesting."

Zhou Manlin thought with interest: "I have to treat them to a meal later to express my gratitude. I'll invite Beixing along then."

……

After buying groceries, go home and put them away.

Today's pre-class task is image management.

Actually, there is nothing to do, just wash your face, shave your beard and sideburns, trim your eyebrows, and do some skin care.

Chen Jingle's face now is much cleaner than at the beginning.

Although it cannot be called flawless, at least he is fair-skinned, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and a handsome appearance.

In this appearance-oriented society, having good looks definitely has more advantages than not having good looks.

He has already experienced it.

It may be a bit of an exaggeration to say that one’s world outlook, values and outlook are determined by one’s facial features, but in many cases, the first impression one gives is really important.

"So damn handsome!"

Chen Jingle was very boastful.

The only problem is that he can't grow taller. Although he has grown to 1 meters, it is still a long way from the height he wants to reach.

At the same time, as he guessed, it started raining outside again.

But the rain was not heavy.

Apart from the inconvenience of travel, rain is actually not that bad. At least it is better than getting burned like a dog by the scorching sun.

Of course, neither of them is wonderful. The most comfortable weather is a cloudy day with a slight breeze.

"Maybe I can consider buying a car so that I can go out to buy groceries even on rainy days." An idea popped into Chen Jingle's mind.

In fact, he doesn't like driving very much.

Although I have a driver's license, I have only been involved in very few car accidents. But it is indeed inconvenient not to have a car. At least it is inconvenient if I go beyond the range that an electric car can reach.

When he looked at the balance on his card, he couldn't help scratching his head.

I don’t want to buy the cheap ones, but I can’t afford the expensive ones. It’s a pain.

Take his personal favorite Audi model for example. If he were still working at his original company, he would be able to afford it.

Not to mention that major automakers have been cutting prices crazily this year.

If you try hard, you can even try the 56E, which is known as the ceiling for ordinary people.

But now I have resigned.

"It seems that you can't buy a good car with this little money. If you buy a slightly more expensive car, you will be left with nothing. Unless you go back to work."

It’s impossible for me to go to work. I never want to go back to work in my life!
He might as well hope that a rich woman would give him an A8 with six horizontal and twelve vertical wheels. This possibility is greater than him going back to work.

Few people who have tried lying down are willing to go back to work.

"How can I find a stable, easy and comfortable way to make money?"

Chen Jingle fell into deep thought.

"How do those rich people make so much money? They can buy luxury cars worth tens of millions or even tens of millions of dollars at will."

Suddenly felt a little sour.

But think about it, no matter if it's a million-dollar luxury car or a Mazda, it will get stuck in traffic when it's time to get stuck in traffic. And given his personality, even if he had a car, he probably wouldn't drive it more than 5000 kilometers a year.

Suddenly I didn’t want to buy it anymore.

For him, a car is not a necessity in life.

At least not yet.

"Let's do the current things well first."

Today’s plan is still to learn cooking-related knowledge.

If his savings are gone one day and he doesn’t want to go to work, he can use this skill to set up a stall in front of the school.

Although calligraphy and painting can also make money, most of the time they are priced but not sold because there are too few people who have this demand, and in the eyes of many buyers, fame is more important than quality.

Chen Jingle feels that it is not as reliable as cooking skills.

……

As the saying goes, gold comes in troubled times, and collections come in prosperous times.

As people's living standards continue to improve, a collecting craze has gradually emerged among the people.

In fact, this trend started a long time ago, but it has become increasingly popular in recent years.

For example, a few years ago, there were many novels about treasure appraisal and finding bargains on the Internet, which were extremely popular. In recent years, there are fewer, but there are many treasure appraisal anchors on short video and live broadcast platforms.

Some are for show effects, while others are truly talented.

Liu Deqiang started collecting when he saw other people appraising treasures live.

He has watched many treasure appraisal hosts before and after, and the one he watches most often now is Mr. Ludan Hai. Mr. Hai's professional knowledge level is among the best among all the treasure appraisal hosts.

The largest number of live broadcast viewers were taken away and sent to operate sewing machines or eat peanuts.

I often come across those young people who just came out of the ground, and the next second their IP and address are locked. There are even some who dig them up on the spot during live broadcast.

I can only say that I don't really understand the way these people think.

Fatty Liu has connected to the live broadcast room many times, mainly to ask Teacher Hai for help in looking at calligraphy and paintings. After a few visits, everyone gradually became familiar with him.

His nickname and avatar are the name and trademark of his company.

Still very recognizable.

Fatty Liu is here again for today’s live broadcast.

As soon as he came on the microphone, the host, Mr. Hai, was surprised: "Isn't this me, Mr. Liu? Welcome, welcome. What did Mr. Liu say today?"

Some old viewers in the live broadcast room also posted comments to show their support.

"Welcome, Mr. Liu."

"Is Mr. Liu here?"

"What big stuff does Mr. Liu have this time?"

"..."

Fatty Liu smiled and spoke in typical Cantonese: "I recently bought a few paintings and calligraphy from someone else, and I came to ask Hai Baotou to help me with my appraisal."

"It's easy to talk about."

"Take a look at this first." Fatty Liu took out the first collection.

Teacher Hai sat up straight and said, "Zoom in a little bit so I can see. Um, it's Fan Baochong, right?"

Fatty Liu was immediately impressed: "As expected of Haibanzhang, he recognized it at first sight without even looking at the signature, awesome!"

What is level?

This is the level!
Teacher Hai smiled and said, "I can't say anything else, but I know a little bit about calligraphy and painting. There is nothing wrong with the signature and seal, so it should be authentic. How much did you get for this, Mr. Liu?"

"Can you give me an estimate?"

"There's nothing wrong with the stuff, but considering his personal level, it's a bit average, probably around 20." Teacher Hai gave a relatively standard number.

Because of things like valuation, sometimes if you estimate too high and others can't sell at that price, they will blame you instead.

Rather than getting scolded, it is better to estimate less at the beginning.

If the other party offers a higher price than he estimated, at least he can be thankful that he didn't lose much.

Fatty Liu said, "I got it for 27."

"That's not a loss. Fan Baochong's paintings are still worth the price. If you want to sell them, there are many people willing to collect them. Mr. Liu has a good eye." Teacher Hai gave a thumbs up.

Fatty Liu smiled and took out the second collection: "Then here is this."

This time it was a painting of a horse.

"Wow, this is awesome! This is an authentic work by Mr. Xu Beihong. Come, let me see the signature." Teacher Hai's eyes widened.

The audience in the live broadcast room also opened their eyes.

Turtle!

Master Xu, the best horse painter!
It seems that Mr. Liu came prepared today!
"This inscription seems to be given to someone else."

Fatty Liu's mobile phone camera scanned the entire painting from the overall to the details, making it easier for everyone to appreciate.

The audience in the live broadcast room were all drooling.

Damn, this is all money! It’s great to have money!
Haidong nodded. "Well, it is indeed a special gift, just like Fan Baochong's above. This price is slightly cheaper than other works on the market. The current market price is a few dozen yuan less. It depends on how much they like it."

"Okay, here's this." Fatty Liu took out the third work, this time it was calligraphy again.

The four words "Mingde Zhishan".

Teacher Hai was stunned: "This calligraphy is very well written, even amazing, but I didn't know who wrote it. Let's take a look at the signature?"

Fatty Liu chuckled and said, "This is a painting I asked a friend to get. It's not by a famous artist, but I think his calligraphy is very interesting, so I wanted Hai Baotou to help me see if it's worth it."

Teacher Hai leaned close to the screen and stared at the signature for a few seconds: "Chen Jingle? I've never heard of him. But judging from his calligraphy skills, he is indeed amazing. How much did you get, Mr. Liu?"

"I originally wanted two, but someone gave me a small painting and I liked it so much that I gave him three. Here are the paintings."

Fatty Liu took out the painting as if to show off.

"When the rooster crows, the world becomes bright. This has a good meaning and is very suitable for you, Mr. Liu."

Teacher Hai was even more surprised. "And the painting is quite good, both in terms of skills and techniques. It is not easy to paint well in Chinese traditional paintings. Without 20 years of experience, it is difficult to paint to this level. It's just a little small. You can buy two pieces of this level for three, so you don't lose money. You can even say you make money. I understand what you mean, Mr. Liu. Although this author is not very famous now, judging from his quality, he will definitely not lose money. Don't worry."

Many viewers in the live broadcast room said:

“This rooster is so beautifully drawn!”

“Even though I don’t know much about painting, I think it’s good.”

"Why can't I find any painter named Chen Jingle on the Internet? Is he not famous at all?"

"..."

Fatty Liu finished pretending to be awesome and was satisfied: "That's good, thank you, Hai Baotou."

Identification is secondary, showing off is the primary purpose.

He has worked hard to earn his current fortune, so it is not convenient for him to show off his wealth normally, as it is easy to make people hate him, but it is still okay to show off his collections online.

Besides, calligraphy and paintings are not as conspicuous as real gold and silver in showing off wealth.

"You're welcome. Bye."

Teacher Hai looked at the comments and smiled, "This level is already very impressive. To be honest, I can only say that there are indeed many talented people among the people. On the contrary, there are many people in the Calligraphy Association, like Shen and others. Ahem, of course, this only represents my personal opinion. I think his calligraphy is very Jianghu style. When he was the boss of the Calligraphy Association, his price was very expensive, but now his price has plummeted."

"I can only say that those who understand will understand."

　I’ll post the first chapter of 4,000 words.
