What Su Chen said is not a fool, it is all what Mr. Wu said to him.

When he was in Panjiayuan, he kept picking up bargains. Later, when he was having dinner, Mr. Wu told him about this master. After all, this master is also a legend in the circle.

In fact, it is not only that. Later, Mr. Wu lent a lot of his personal notes to Su Chen, which contained many strange and strange stories about the cultural and entertainment circle. Su Chen read all the notes, so he can really be called a master of antique appreciation. Whether in terms of technology or experience, he has this confidence.

After hearing Su Chen's words, Gu Qingya frowned and said, "A man who specializes in making fakes, no matter how skilled he is, he cannot be called a master, right?"

"That's right! Such people have become masters. Can all the leaders in the thief industry start a sect?"

Gu’s father gritted his teeth and obviously, this Guanyin statue stimulated him to a sensation.

Seeing this, Su Chen did not dare to stimulate Gu's father again and hurriedly said, "Uncle, don't be anxious. I just said that this Guanyin seemed to be a fake, but I didn't say that he was worthless!"

When Gu’s father heard this, his eyes lit up instantly. “Yes, Xiaochen, since you knew it was a fake before, you asked me to buy it, there must be a reason, right? Tell me, what’s going on?”

Su Chen nodded and said, "Haha, uncle, this Guanyin statue must be a fake, but there should be good things in its belly, which is why Jia Zhen is called a master."

"Inside the belly?" Gu's father was instantly excited. "Xiaochen, don't keep it aside. Tell me, what's going on."

"Okay! Actually, this is also a legendary thing in the circle. It is said that Master Jia Zhen's real identity is an external professor in a museum. He likes to study porcelain all his life and is committed to imitating porcelain. Uncle, you also know that many of the exhibits in museums are imitations. After all, if the authentic ones are placed, once something happens, the loss will be great.

Master Jia Zhen was responsible for making imitations of antique porcelain from several museums, and over time his craftsmanship became more and more sophisticated. Of course, the imitations he made in the museum had very clear special marks, and these imitations would not flow into the market.

This was the case. Although Master Jia Zhen made a lot of imitations, it was all about the museum and had nothing to do with the market.

However, things are impermanent. In addition to being an external professor in the museum, this master himself also collects many antiques and treasures. Unfortunately, his children were unfilial and stole a lot of good things for fun to sell. Master Jia Zhen was so angry that he was reluctant to devote all his life accumulation to the museum. Finally, he had no choice but to think of a solution, so he made a large number of antique fakes and hid half of his life's treasures in these fakes.

But this method was to hide it from his children for a short time. However, in the end, Master Jia Zhen finally realized before his death that he could not take away these treasures. If he kept them himself, he would definitely be sold by his descendants. Although Master Jia was a little selfish, he was still very patriotic at heart. So before he died, he told a friend of his museum director and donated all his fake porcelain and all the antiques he had collected in it!”

After Su Chen said that, he was a little sad. He had the ability to imitate fakes without making fakes, but his family was poor but he did not sell antiques. In order to inherit the antiques, he resolutely handed over all his personal collections. He had to admit that Master Jia Zhen was a master worthy of respect. At least Su Chen can't do this now.

Each of the treasures in the courtyard of the imperial capital was his heartfelt, and he felt sorry for one less, let alone handing over it.

However, Su Chen and Jia Zhen are different. Jia Zhen does not have the financial resources he has. So compared to Master Jia Zhen, Su Chen has a second choice, which is to build a self-built museum. Although once a museum is established, it is equivalent to handing over his treasure to the country, at least he is still the director of the museum!

After hearing Su Chen's words, Gu's father was also silent. After a while, he sighed: "According to this, this master is indeed worthy of admiration, but I am a villain."

But after a moment, Gu’s father stared at the Guanyin statue in his hand and asked in confusion: “But Xiaochen, didn’t you say that Master Jia Zhen had handed over all the fake porcelain? Then what’s going on?”

Su Chen smiled and replied: "It is said that the master made more than 300 fake porcelain in total, but in the end he only handed in 289 pieces, and the remaining dozens were all missing. As for how they disappeared, it is a historical mystery. But it can be understood if you think about it. More than 300 fakes were stored in the Jia family for more than ten years, and it is normal to lose them for decades!"

When Gu’s father heard this, he was really excited this time.

"In other words, our Guanyin statue is likely to be one of the fakes that were originally made?"

Su Chen nodded.

Gu Qingya followed and said in surprise: "That means, there are probably antiques hidden in it?"

Su Chen nodded again. "If nothing unexpected happens, this should be the case."

"I have a problem!" Gu Qingyu suddenly spoke.

Su Chen smiled. "What's the problem? Tell me!"

Gu Qingyu's eyes rolled and she smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, I believe the story you told, and I believe there may be something in it, but how can you guarantee that the value of the things in it must be more than three million?"

"Hey? Why are you staring at the money? Even if the things inside are not worth much, as long as they are antiques, our money will not be spent in vain!"

Gu's father probably was afraid that Su Chen would feel sorry for the accident, so he hurriedly scolded him.

Su Chen waved his hand. "Uncle, Xiaoyu, there are two reasons why I dare to spend money. The first is that I am purely curious. I also heard from my elders about this story. However, it is said that Master Jia Zhen's fake porcelain is super rare in the mall and has only appeared twice in history. Unfortunately, the buyer did not disclose what they got from the porcelain, so I was curious."

That’s right! When playing with antiques, you must have this mentality. Just because of this curiosity, it’s worth three million.” Gu Father Gu added.

Su Chen smiled and continued, "The second and most important point is that according to legend, in order to protect his fake porcelain, this Master Jia Zhen was lost, the antiques inside would not be lost due to being ignored. Therefore, the original value of the fake porcelain he imitated was basically similar to the antiques hidden in it.

In other words, the value of the things in this Guanyin statue is at least not inferior to the perfect Song Dynasty shadow celadon!”

"Perfect appearance?" Gu's father was stunned and said in surprise: "Isn't that worth at least several million?"

Su Chen nodded.

But in fact, the main reason why Su Chen dared to pay is that he had seen the answer long ago.
