The next day.

After having breakfast, Chen Jing and Kong Xue took "Lu Wang Qin" to the place they made an appointment with Professor Chen's old friend today.

Today is the weekend, and Kong Xue has nothing to do, so she followed Chen Jing and could help you check out the contract or something.

"Xiao Chen, is the person Professor Chen introduced to you a collector?"

While on the road, Kong Xue asked casually.

Chen Jingying said: "It seems to be true, but I heard that I am only interested in some ancient instruments, and it seems that I am a musician."

"That's how it is." Kong Xue nodded and smiled, "That's also considered art people. When they encounter something they like, they are most willing to spend a lot of money. Isn't there a saying that art is priceless?"

"Well, if he likes my 'Lu Wang Qin' very much, he might be able to sell for more than 10 million." Chen Jing is really looking forward to this.

Of course, even if it is less than tens of millions of dollars, according to Professor Chen's valuation, if "Lu Wang Qin" can make a successful move, it will be at least 8 million.

As long as "Lu Wang Qin" can take action, Chen Jing's net worth will be about 40 million.

About 40 million is really enough for Chen Jing to slowly start creating his own career. All he needs is good opportunities.

It’s just that good opportunities are not so easy to encounter, especially in today’s era.

Fortunately, Chen Jing was not very anxious. After all, he was still thinking about setting up the shop of the original Gaogu Building to practice.

The appointment was in a teahouse near an art school in the southwest of Changcheng. Professor Chen’s old friend was named Wei Wenxiang, who was a special teacher at that art school.

Chen Jing took Kong Xuejing to the teahouse he was talking to, looked around at the door, and soon found an old man who sat by the window with gray hair and looked like Professor Chen was aged.

"Hello, is it Mr. Wei Wenxiang?" Chen Jing walked over and asked politely.

"I am, you are Xiao Chen, right?" Wei Wenxiang put down the book in his hand, raised his head and looked at Chen Jing, and replied with a smile.

Chen Jing nodded: "Yes, I called you before."

"Yeah, sit down quickly."

After Chen Jing and Kong Xue sat down, Wei Wenxiang poured tea for the two of them first, and then smiled at Chen Jing and said, "Old Chen said you are very young and a very outstanding young man. I thought you were already very young, but I was really surprised when I saw you. You are so young and promising."

"Teacher Wei is too proud." Chen Jing responded modestly and said straight to the point: "Teacher Wei, then let's take a look first?"

"Okay." Wei Wenxiang also showed an expectant look on his face and looked at the protective box that Chen Jing brought.

Immediately, Chen Jing put the protective box containing the "Lu Wang Qin" on the tea table and opened it carefully.

The "Lu Wang Qin" with dark black and vermilion red color under the light appeared in front of Wei Wenxiang.

"You are in your eyes." Chen Jing raised his hand to signal.

Wei Wenxiang nodded, took out a magnifying glass, and did not say anything else, and carefully identified it.

Teacher Wei has good identification and vision, but he has no research on other antiques, and is only proficient in antique instruments such as the guqin and guzheng.

In fact, most collectors have similar situations to Teacher Wei, and they only study the things they like to collect very thoroughly.

People who are proficient in the identification of most types of antiques are generally antique pedestrians or great people like Professor Chen.

Wei Wenxiang's identification was not fast, so Chen Jing and Kong Xue could only wait quietly. The latter looked at his phone and seemed to have someone sent a message, so she replied for a while.

After the two of them had a few cups of tea, Wei Wenxiang put down the magnifying glass in his hand and exclaimed loudly: "Good thing, it is worthy of being the Zhonghe Qin made by Zhu Changqing. The details are quite different from the Zhonghe Qin in the Luwang Mansion system, and it is preserved very well."

Zhonghe Qin, this is another name for "Lu Wang Qin", and it is also the word "Lu Wang Zhu Changqing".

"It's good if Teacher Wei likes it." Chen Jing responded.

Wei Wenxiang nodded, without saying much nonsense: "Xiao Chen, I want your Zhonghe Qin made by Zhu Changqing, you can offer a price."

"One thousand million."

Chen Jing said the highest valuation given by Professor Chen.

When Kong Xue was slightly stunned when she heard his bid, she blinked quietly, with a smile in her eyes like autumn water, and she thought to herself that her big boy was quite good at negotiating prices.

When negotiating prices, don’t you just pay back the money at the spot if you ask for a price everywhere?

Wei Wenxiang understood this, but he couldn't help but smile and said, "Xiao Chen, is this the highest valuation Professor Chen gave you? It's a little higher."

"Then how much do you say, Teacher Wei?" Chen Jing kicked the ball directly to Wei Wenxiang.

Wei Wenxiang thought for a moment and gave his price: "Nine million are about the same."

Nine million, although not the lowest valuation, it is still a bit worse than Chen Jing’s psychological expectations of tens of millions. He shook his head: “Teacher Wei, this is too low.”

After a moment of pause, Chen Jing pointed at the guqin: "You are also a person who understands guqin. This is a real 'Lu Wang Qin'."

"This standard 'Lu Wang Qin' produced by the ordinary Lu Wang Mansion is worth millions. The value of Zhu Changqing, the Lu Wang, is probably not as valuable as dozens of ordinary 'Lu Wang Qin'."

As for the price negotiation, Chen Jing naturally wanted to talk about the value of his guqin crazily.

Wei Wenxiang shook his head when he heard this: "Xiao Chen, the value is not calculated like this. Even the 'Lu Wang Qin' made by Zhu Changqing, the value cannot be said to be more than dozens of ordinary 'Lu Wang Qin'."

"Besides, the collection of guqins is unpopular, so the value will naturally be affected."

After a moment of pause, Wei Wenxiang said again: "Let's do this, Xiao Chen, I'll add another 500,000 to you. This is my lowest price." He said this very seriously.

Seeing this, Chen Jing frowned slightly. Although 9.5 million is quite good, ten million is still missing 500,000 yuan. Naturally, he still wants to try to raise the price again.

At this moment, Kong Xue suddenly spoke, "Teacher Wei, can this guqin still be played after being turned on, right?"

Wei Wenxiang subconsciously replied: "Yes, this guqin is well preserved."

"Will Teacher Wei play it by himself when he buys it?" Kong Xue asked again, and blinked at Chen Jing, signaling him not to speak for now.

"Of course I have to give it a try." Wei Wenxiang responded so, and his face couldn't help but look expected.

Kong Xue smiled slightly and said, "Teacher Wei, since this guqin was made by Zhu Changqing, he must have played it back then. If you play it again, it will be the same guqin as a prince of the Ming Dynasty."

"I think this feeling is definitely an extraordinary experience for you, right?"

Wei Wenxiang heard some meaning now, looked at Kong Xue with a smile, and asked, "Little girl, what do you want to say?"

"I want to say that such an extraordinary experience can add another 500,000 yuan to my boyfriend's guqin. It just so happens that it can make up an integer of 10 million yuan. What do you think?"
