Chapter Eighty-Eight: A Precious Work of Art

"Arrogant Chinese people!"

Benjamin clenched his teeth and stared at Jiang Lingyun's azure pupils, as if exuding a strange glow.

"Remember what you say. ”

"Sooner or later, you'll pay for it!"

Out of the corner of his eye, he quietly glanced at the entire cabin and quickly sat down.

Jiang Lingyun hugged the bronze sculpture and was slightly stunned.

I thought...

I would argue with this foreigner, but I didn't expect that the other party would give in.

"Thank you, young man. ”

The middle-aged Huang Baifan leaned on the chair, got up to thank him, and smiled with a smile.

Jiang Lingyun nodded lightly: "That's it?"

At the same time, gesturing with his hand in the three-person room, Benjamin turned his head and glared at him, and Huang Baifan was also a little embarrassed.

"Young man, go back quickly," Huang Baifan lowered his voice, almost with a lip tongue to admonish, "This matter has nothing to do with you, don't get into trouble, get off the plane later, no matter what happens, just take you." ”

"It's a pity that this bronze statue can't be shot..."

In front of the two, Benjamin smirked, apparently he had hidden his back hand, waiting to get off the plane and look for trouble again.

Jiang Lingyun didn't take it to heart.

Glancing at the bronze statue in his hand, he suddenly asked, "You are going to the auction?"

"You... Are you too?"

Huang Baifan looked Jiang Lingyun up and down, unconcealing his astonishment.

Jiang Lingyun nodded secretly.

Sure enough, as he expected, the auction of the best prices in Suzhou City was about to be held, and those who would talk about antiques on this flight were indeed ready to participate.

But.

According to the rules of good prices, all bids must be inspected in advance, for a period of several years or a day.

Listening to the meaning of Huang Baifan's words, this bronze statue has no intention of bidding.

Jiang Lingyun didn't think about it, and immediately asked, "How about selling it to me?"

"Do you want it?" Huang Baifan's face was even more shocked, "Little brother, this is just a mass-produced thing, if you want..."

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Lingyun stretched out three fingers.

"Thirty thousand!"

Two words blurted out, not loud, but attracted the attention of all passengers.

Benjamin straightened up!

Looking at Jiang Lingyun, his eyes were red, like an angry beast.

Huang Baifan hurriedly wiped his forehead and whispered: "You're kidding, this thing is about three thousand..."

Ordinary bronze sculptures, that is, the cost of materials and handwork.

Three thousand?

It has to be a Bodhisattva, a Buddha statue, this sculpture is not big, although the shape is exquisite, beautiful, it is indeed a little unusual, but it is not worth the high price.

Jiang Lingyun took out his bank card and stuffed it into Huang Baifan's hand.

"Since I didn't make a counteroffer, then I accepted it. ”

He said lightly: "Buy and leave, don't blame me for losing in the future." ”

Huang Baifan was stunned!

He held the bank card in his hand, and saw Jiang Lingyun turn around and return to his seat, and looked at the young man again.

This time, it's much more careful.

β€œsh*t!”

Benjamin glared at Jiang Lingyun and squeezed out two syllables from his mouth.

30,000 Huaxia coins, accepting such a broken thing, just to deliberately go against him?

The Chinese are so naΓ―ve!

Jiang Lingyun secretly sighed.

Fortunately, there are 30,000 yuan that Han Xueping just sent, otherwise such a good thing would have to be left to others.

Just now.

When Huang Baifan and Benjamin were arguing, he had quietly seen this bronze statue.

In his previous life, he studied both Chinese and Western sculptures, and also studied Western sculpture.

To identify copper sculptures, we should start from shape, color and weight. This bronze statue is the size of a palm, holding it very well, about ten catties, it can be seen that the copper is pure, not a modern alloy imitation.

The signs of air-drying on the surface are not too serious, but the corners that are not easy to touch with the hand are obviously darker and darker in copper, and the other positions are brighter, which can be regarded as the "slurry" of copper products.

As for the shape...

The sculpture is humanoid, judging from the clothing and appearance, it should be an ancient Greek boy. The boy is half-waisted, holding two flute-like instruments in both hands, and his cheeks bulge as if he is playing.

Even if you are well versed in Greek history, it is difficult for anyone who does not know enough about Western art history to judge the prototype of this scene.

Jiang Lingyun clearly remembers...

During the Republic of China, there was a master sculptor overseas, who was carving the same almost identical sculpture at that time.

The works of this artist have a wide range of subjects, and the sculptures are often smooth, such as mud and lead casting, which is rich in the aura of similar bronze statues that are difficult to find.

The base of the sculpture is engraved with a personal signature, which is very easy to recognize.

Stroking the few concave letters, Jiang Lingyun smiled slightly.

Soon after.

The plane finally landed.

Jiang Lingyun woke up Wen Ruxuan, got off the plane as soon as possible, and quickly rushed to the auction house for good prices.

"Passengers in front, please cooperate with the security check!"

Behind him, more than a dozen airport inspectors and security guards are struggling to chase after him.

Wen Ruxuan, who had just woken up, was completely in a state of ignorance, what happened when she fell asleep, why was she chased by so many people as soon as she got off the plane?

"Get in the car. ”

Stopping a car, the two sat down as fast as they could, and the driver immediately started the engine under the temptation of the banknotes.

Airplanes!

A group of security guards stood on the side of the road, gasping for breath from their cars.

There was some shock in my heart.

They do special training every day, just for fear of this situation, who knew that those two people would run so fast...

"Sir, what now?"

The security captain was a little confused, and turned to look at the foreigner beside him.

Benjamin roared angrily: "Of course it's chasing!"

"I've seen it all, and they do hide suspicious objects..."

"Dear security captain, if there is any accident in Su City, don't blame me for not reminding you!"

The security captain licked his shriveled lips, a cold sweat running down his forehead.

"Why are you stunned?"

"Contact the police station and track down the taxi. ”

Benjamin was much more relieved, and soon the special car in charge of the pick-up came, and he immediately took his seat and galloped away.

Meanwhile.

Huang Baifan saw everything in his eyes and thought of the possible consequences, and his heart was sudden.

Actually, they are not the only ones.

Almost all passengers on the same flight know...

Where will Jiang Lingyun go!

15 minutes later.

The ancient city of Suzhou City, the most luxurious business district... A corner of the east side.

The Jiangnan branch is located here, but although the price is famous, it is not the time of the auction, but no one comes to visit.

"Miss Wen, I've been waiting for a long time. ”

Jiang Lingyun and Wen Ruxuan had just gotten off the taxi, and a man in a tuxedo and an old-fashioned monocle for appreciation had already come from the door at a good price.

"Mr. Zhu. ”

Wen Ruxuan nodded in greeting, took Jiang Lingyun's hand, and walked quickly into the bargain.

"There's some trouble, let's go in and talk about it. ”

"You..."

The words are not finished.

The sound of police car horns has been sounding from far and near.

"Jiang Lingyun and Wen Ruxuan, please cooperate with the airport security check. ”

"Get in the car and come with us!"

Through the loudspeaker, the majestic voice of the police was transmitted into the business district not far away.

Zhu Fei couldn't help but look at Wen Ruxuan: "Miss Wen, you are..."

"Don't worry," Wen Ruxuan hurriedly sent a text message, "I'll solve it, please help us do the appraisal immediately." ”

Zhu Fei nodded frequently and followed the two into the auction house.

"Stop!"

Benjamin's car was late, and he saw Jiang Lingyun enter the bargain, and there were several police cars nearby, but no police officers got out of the car, and he yelled angrily.

But for a few seconds.

Before the good price, which was not lively, more than 20 cars had stopped.

In the middle...

There is no shortage of luxury cars such as Porsche, Bentley, Rolls-Royce, etc.

Seeing the Bentley, Benjamin's eyes were filled with excitement, and he immediately got out of the car and went over to say hello.

β€œm

Liu, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

The doors open.

A young rich man walked out and said with a polite smile: "Mr. Benjamin, the person you said has already come?"

"It's coming!"

Benjamin nodded heavily, pointing to the various luxury cars crowded in front of the auction house.

"See?"

"These people, they all saw it on the plane, and they chased it all the way here. ”

His fists clenched, his eyes full of fierceness.

"Jiang Lingyun actually humiliated me in public..."

"I won't let him go easily!"

Now.

The rear door of the Rolls-Royce opened, and a young and beautiful girl stepped down.

It's...

Liu Siyao!
